Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

Is it really going to end like this, without any clear explanation...?

Is there no hope here?!

"Woz."

"As you command, my Demon King."

boom--!!

The powerful impact instantly blasted away the monsters that were pressing down on Homura Akemi.

The magical girl slowly raised her head.

He could only see two figures standing not far from him.

One of them had black hair and dark purple eyes.

A person wearing a gray coat and scarf is holding a book.

The man called Woz was still raising his hand, pointing it at his own body, as if he was the one who had just launched the attack.

The other person, of course, knew very well who he was.

"Shilun...Yanming..."

Seeing that Homura Akemi was trying to get over there, Yan Ming immediately understood the situation and grabbed the Lament Seed on the ground.

He threw it directly in front of the girl.

Clutching the Seed of Sorrow, she pressed it onto the Soul Gem, instantly purifying the impurities within the gem.

"My Demon King, those monsters are the 'foreign beings' I just mentioned, originating from outside this world."

Why did you appear in this world?

"Who knows? Actually, I've encountered them a few times before."

What should we call them?

"Well... I guess it should be called 'Demon'?"

"demon".

Yan Ming calmly gazed at the "demons" who had risen again.

"Then I'll wipe them all out right here."

A very decisive and efficient decision.

The demons seemed to understand the meaning behind Yan Ming's words.

As if they had finally understood the meaning of a clean break, the demons' expressions instantly turned incredibly fierce.

Yan Ming didn't care about that.

Homura Akemi watched him with concern, while Woz beside her seemed eager to try, though it was unclear what he was so excited about.

He took out a black and white belt and put it directly around his waist.

"Ziku Driver!"

The demons planned to attack the people here, disrupt the peace, and even attacked the magical girl who had once risked everything to protect others.

He won't allow that to happen.

and so.

Shilun Yanming... will defeat all these demons, leaving none alive.

He took out the black and white dial, turned the gears, and pressed the top button.

"Zi-O!"

"Come! My Demon King, please complete your true transformation immediately—!"

At Woz's excited voice, Yan Ming adjusted the dial and pressed the button on top of the driver.

The driver is no longer secured to the belt.

A huge silver wheel, like a clock, unfolds behind him, with the minute and hour hands spinning continuously.

This memory, which doesn't belong to me, tells me how to do certain actions.

But he chose to grip the drive with only one hand.

"...Transformation."

Then, swing it straight to the right.

The drive rotates once, perfectly re-fitting the belt.

"Rider Time!"

"Kamen Rider! Zi-O!"

In Yan Ming's eyes, the world was distorted 360 degrees as if it had been turned upside down.

He heard a sound like the ticking of a clock.

He saw purple three-dimensional letters flashing inside the clock behind him through the glass in the distance.

I also felt as if my whole body was covered by a purple phantom.

Just like when he had transformed into that ominous posture, the endless straps completely enveloped Yan Ming's body.

However, all those watch straps are now silver.

They intertwined and eventually burst open, covering Yan Ming's entire body with a thick layer of armor.

The giant clock vanished, while the three-dimensional words shot out.

He then stuck it on his helmet.

—Power flowed into my whole body.

An indescribable feeling made Yan Ming's consciousness clearer. He could see that there seemed to be some kind of dark purple light gently stimulating the surrounding space.

And what about Wozniak?

This is the moment he's been waiting for.

Holding the book, he opened it completely and shouted loudly—

"Celebrate!"

"A time king who embodies the power of all knights, transcends time and space, and knows the past and the future!"

"His name is Kamen Rider Zi-O!"

"This moment is truly a new instant in which it inherits the history of its predecessor, the Demon King, and is reborn!"

Armor that combines silver, purple, and black.

The helmet part is designed with the hour and minute hands of a clock, both pointing to the ten o'clock and two o'clock times.

On the front of the mask, purple three-dimensional text forms a design resembling compound eyes.

The spacetime coordinates of the driver are displayed as "2018".

This is truly the new era's demon king.

Kamen Rider Zi-O.

"Woz."

"What are your orders, Your Majesty the Demon King?"

"Go and confirm the safety of the people in the teaching building."

"You really love ordering people around... Fine, I'll carry out your orders as your loyal subject!"

Overjoyed and excited, Wozniak raised his arms.

"Then, my Demon King—please, enjoy the battle to the fullest."

He disappeared.

The demons were closing in relentlessly, and in terms of numbers, they were at a significant disadvantage.

But Yan Ming didn't care at all.

Through his compound eyes, which resembled letters, the Demon King calmly uttered his declaration.

"...Battle begins."

The Demon King of Time and Space's first true battle truly shone brightly here!

(Thank you all for your support again today!)

Volume One: The Demon King Descends: Chapter Nine - The End of Infinite Reincarnation

Transform into a superhuman form, covered in armor that grants superhuman strength, perfectly unleashing the wearer's own power and skills.

This is the power of Kamen Rider Zi-O.

Yan Ming had no idea how powerful the Demon King of the past, the man Woz called Tokiwa Sougo, really was.

Speaking solely from my own perspective.

That is indeed a remarkable level.

An explosion sounded from ahead of the road.

That was the scene of demons swarming up and rushing towards him.

Through the system's compound eye scanning, Yan Ming directly captured the total number of monsters.

Twenty small demons and one large demon about two meters tall.

Evil spirits appear and attack when they encounter the path.

He then engaged in a fierce battle.

With steps wreathed in purple light, Yan Ming strode directly in front of one of the demons.

The right hand forms a fist.

The burst of light sent the small demon flying.

boom--!

The individual demon slammed into the group of about ten demons, the exaggerated impact sending them all flying.

The remaining smaller demons attacked him again.

Yan Ming raised his right hand, following the system's instructions.

Several three-dimensional purple characters popped out from the driver.

The words shook off the demons that were trying to pounce on Yan Ming, and attached themselves to the front of Yan Ming's right hand, combining into some kind of substantial object.

"The Time Limit Sword (Zikan Girade)!"

A sharp, black-silver longsword with the Japanese character for "sword" engraved on its surface.

Countless small demons descended upon Yan Ming once more.

He simply gripped the hilt of his sword and unleashed a slash in a spinning motion.

One-hit cut.

Like the face of a clock, a huge purple light array appeared and disappeared with Yan Ming's slash.

A beam of light enveloped the demons' bodies, and the tip of the sword, like the hand of a clock, swept across them, blasting them all away.

This is just the most basic attack.

This level of power alone is enough to produce this effect.

Is it that the form of Kamen Rider Zi-O already possesses overwhelming strength?

Or was it because Yan Ming meticulously operated the equipment that such an exaggerated performance was successfully achieved?

Yan Ming gripped the sword hilt tightly.

He saw a giant demon, over two meters tall, approaching him.
