Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

"I see."

Ainz Ooal Gown nodded; leaving these children here would only hinder his ability to perform.

Ainz Ooal Gown will help these children erase these painful memories one by one later.

“Be careful when dealing with that guy… No, sorry, I don’t need to say that.”

"…snort."

Hearing Ainz Ooal Gown's words, Yan Ming couldn't help but smile.

The others behind them left using teleportation magic.

Now, only he and that ice toad are left here.

"Don't think it's all over... That's impossible! As long as I... as long as I unleash my full power...!"

Baal roared, howled, and bellowed incessantly, as if consumed by rage.

In its current state, it shows absolutely no signs of the behavior of a so-called high-IQ demon.

Yan Ming had felt from the beginning that this guy's intelligence was not very good. Now it seems that it's not because he hasn't fully recovered his strength, but because this guy has never really had a brain in the first place.

"Die!!"

Once the children's problems are resolved, the rest is just a war of attrition.

…No.

Perhaps it doesn't even qualify as a war of attrition?

Bang—!! Each ice pillar released by Baal, capable of destroying a castle, flew continuously toward Yan Ming.

But he couldn't even stop Yan Ming from strolling around.

His entire body transformed into golden light particles, and all forces attempting to attack Yan Ming were forcefully passed through and crashed into the ground in the distance.

Anti-entityization.

However, the anti-materialization released by the Infinite Soul Armor far surpasses all previous levels.

As I said a long time ago, Yan Ming doesn't like drawn-out battles.

Since there's no need to hold back anymore—

"Just solve it directly."

He calmly placed his hand on the watch face.

"Gh·Gh·Gh·Ghost! Final Attack Time Break!"

Baal gathered all the power he could control and unleashed an even colder mist directly at Yan Ming with maximum force.

It was blocked.

No… to be precise, it neutralized Baal's attack with an even stronger force.

Those were colorful wings of light that rose up from behind Yan Ming.

Like an infinity symbol, it seems to be made of some kind of feather, yet it has a structure that resembles the infinite.

Perhaps even Baal himself understands this.

With his current strength, he absolutely cannot defeat his opponent.

"impossible…"

A look of panic appeared in the demon's eyes.

"I... I've been defeated again? I haven't even regained all my strength yet, and I finally managed to escape from the seal... and now I'm going to be defeated in a place like this? by someone like this?!"

no respond.

Yan Ming focused his power on his right leg, using the enormous wings of light that had formed on his back due to the power of his emotions as his driving force.

A huge, colorful Ghost icon then appeared behind them.

--moment.

The battle then ended.

The power completely engulfed Baal's entire body from the very center, and its aftershocks spread to every corner around it in one breath.

The sky has changed.

The previously gloomy and snowy weather instantly returned to normal clear skies and white clouds.

Yan Ming landed slowly, accompanied by countless white feathers.

At that moment, he seemed to hear the cheers of victory from the people of the kingdom.

The frozen land instantly returned to its original normal state.

Only the God of Emotion, whose back shimmers with infinite, colorful wings, still stands there.

With a body capable of infinite evolution.

Volume 3, OVERLORD: Chapter 68, "The World of the Knights' War"

"Great, great! The sky has cleared! That demon must have been defeated!"

"That must be it. That way, nothing else will happen in the Kingdom of Riestie, right?"

"We all survived! We have to thank the hero who fought for us!"

"That's right, he's a hero!"

"hero!!"

After a series of cheers from the crowd, the main gate of the city was opened.

Two men pulled a delivery truck and walked right in.

"what?"

"This person is..."

Ordinary citizens might not know who the person was, but many adventurers had already recognized him.

Black armor, a red cloak, and a greatsword.

And following behind are the iconic beautiful female adventurers.

"It's...it's the adventurer Feifei!"

"That powerful adventurer who tamed the Forest King? Why would he appear at a time like this?"

"Could it be that he was the one who just defeated that demon?"

The adventurer Flyff... also known as Ainz Ooal Gown, and the wooden cart he and Narberal pulled together was very long and very large.

It was filled with children who had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Total number of people: 180.

“Those are the children who were taken away…”

"My son is up there too!"

"Incredible! Could that adventurer really be that hero?"

It seems that people have misunderstood us.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ainz Ooal Gown put the wooden cart aside and walked with Narberal to a person.

That is the king of this country.

"...So that's how it is?"

After the other person whispered something in the king's ear, the king showed an expression of sudden realization.

“I understand, I will reveal the truth for him.”

Ainz Ooal Gown nodded, and then left with Narberal.

Countless people watched them leave with astonishment.

"Everyone... that adventurer Feifei is not the hero you think he is, the one in armor fighting a giant demon. He just happened to be passing by."

"The hero did not reveal his name. After doing everything he could to rescue the children, the adventurer Feifei appeared and joined forces with him to defeat the demon."

"After the incident was over, the hero left alone, and the adventurer Feifei was responsible for bringing all the children back."

"So, in other words, we have no way of knowing what that hero's name is, or who he really is?"

The king nodded.

The citizens immediately looked somewhat disappointed.

To them, he was the hero who saved all their lives, and to the families who lost their children, this hero meant something even more profound.

but--

"However, the adventurer Feifei asked me to pass on a message: that hero spoke personally..."

"Although he did not reveal his name or identity, if the kingdom faces another unprecedented crisis in the future, he will surely reappear before everyone and continue to fight to save everyone."

"I hope that by then... everyone will still support him, and I hope that everyone in the kingdom can unite and never give up the most basic trust between them!"

Before long, these words drew unparalleled cheers from the crowd.

Everyone was praising that powerful being in armor; they regarded him as a hero and as someone they believed in.

Perhaps, in the future, we will indeed encounter some unknown evils.

But everyone in the kingdom firmly believed it.

If that time ever comes, that masked hero... will surely come back to save them.

They will always support him and trust him!

"...Is this your plan, my Demon King?"

Under a clear blue sky, atop the kingdom's tallest building, Yan Ming and Woz stood.

Wozniak held the book in his hands, letting the breeze flutter his scarf.

"By taking advantage of this demon incident, I can gain people's favor and trust, and at the same time further hone my skills in the power of Kamen Rider Ghost."

"In this way, you will not only gain more power, but also further gain the faith and awe of the people of this other world. It's killing two birds with one stone! Truly worthy of being my Demon King—"

"You're mistaken, Woz."

Yan Ming then interrupted the other person.

"I never imagined that I would become such a high-class person."

"…Yeah?"

"Yes, what I really want to do is to make people in this country understand that trust between people has always existed."

He calmly watched the people celebrating in the kingdom.

He lived in seclusion, abandoning all the wealth, fame, and glory he could have enjoyed, even though he had the means to do so.

All for the sake of reclaiming the most ordinary, peaceful daily life in this country.

"It's about time we went."

"Is this really a good idea? If we go down and reveal our identities now, these people will surely become our followers without hesitation."

When Woz turned his head, attempting to ask Yan Ming a question.

His figure had already disappeared from the spot.

"Really... he really is a king who has no desires."

In that case, can he still be considered a demon king?

Woz muttered to himself in exasperation.

One second later, no one remained on the tallest building.

"Your Highness."

Inside what is considered the tallest building, there is such a scene.
