Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

A very familiar, petite figure.

“Ania…!”

Any Kamen Rider that is incorporated into the chest of the Rider Robot can have their corresponding abilities read, further enhanced, and then reproduced.

Now, even if someone isn't a knight, as long as they're placed in that storage slot, their abilities can be further enhanced and they can reappear in the world.

This is the Knight Robot that was modified by Finis.

More importantly, if it is not defeated, Anya will remain trapped inside.

Yan Ming thought of the agreement between himself and her, the villagers, and the Lloyds.

The goal is to rescue Naju and Anya unharmed.

He blinked slightly, and all his previous hesitation vanished.

"Ki·Ki·Ki·Kiva! Final Attack Time Break!"

He pressed the button on the watch face directly.

Yan Ming leaped into the sky in one breath, his whole body radiating golden light. His body transformed into a golden form resembling a flying dragon.

The phantom-like Delan Castle attached itself to his back, and the two combined to instantly materialize into the even larger, golden-red Demon Emperor Kiva.

The golden and red demon emperor struggled to take flight.

He kicked out with his right foot, and the knight robot seemed to be about to unleash a beam of light that could rewrite history at him, but he struck it first.

"Tsk!"

Phineas, who was perched on its shoulder, clicked his tongue in amazement and leaped away.

This is a strike capable of altering even the moon's orbit.

That level of kick landed directly on the knight robot's body, and the golden-red demonic power raged everywhere, causing sparks to fly from the knight robot's entire body as if it had short-circuited.

If you choose not to attack the enemy because you are worried about your comrades trapped inside, that would be putting the cart before the horse.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Demon Emperor's phantom directly hit the Knight Robot, Yan Ming quickly deactivated his ultimate attack and instantly flew towards the hatch on its chest.

Right at this moment.

The history-rewriting devices on either side of the Knight Robot were aimed directly at him.

"No! My Demon King!!"

I heard Woz's panicked voice from afar.

It seems this situation is truly urgent.

Moreover, the Aurora Veil's abilities are no longer effective.

At such close range, the ability to influence spacetime shattered his aurora veil in one fell swoop, meaning he couldn't dodge the attack instantly.

Using the power of other knights is pointless, no matter how much.

Yan Ming had no choice but to face the two deep red beams of light that were rewriting history as they came toward him, and without hesitation, he smashed the glass tank in front of him with his fist.

He pulled Anya's body out and used his own body as a shield to forcibly block the beam of light that was rewriting history behind him.

Everything seemed to calm down at that moment.

Yan Ming could clearly feel that the world was disappearing... no, it was himself who was disappearing, because his history had been altered and he was disappearing from the very beginning.

But—before that, I can still get Anya to a safe place.

Forcibly enduring the feeling of having history distorted, Yan Ming gritted his teeth, determined to rescue Anya—

Boom!

I lost feeling in both my legs.

"It seems like it won't work...?"

As it turned out, my ability to cope was weaker than I had imagined.

His lower body had completely disappeared due to the rewriting of history, and Yan Ming's hands, which were holding Anya's, were also invisible, but—

He saw that Anya in his arms had slowly regained consciousness.

She probably hasn't opened her eyes yet and seen what she looks like now.

With a sense of relief, Yan Ming placed her in front of him, using his entire body to block the last rays of light that would alter history, thus protecting her safety while rescuing Anya.

A resignation to certain death.

With this thought in mind, Yan Ming saw everything about his life flash before his eyes, as if he had figured it all out—

They were trapped in some unknown world.

dark.

Nothing can be seen, nothing can be touched, just an endless void.

Standing there was Yan Ming himself.

Then, he quickly opened his eyes.

zizi——

What appears before you like a phantom is another version of yourself.

"You are..."

Upon seeing that the other person looked exactly like him, Yan Ming immediately came to the conclusion.

"Are you the dark side of me? Or the mirror world of me?"

The other person laughed.

However, Yan Ming could tell from the other person's lip movements that none of them were true.

He is neither the dark side of his own heart, nor his reflection in the mirror world.

"I am merely a form you have conceived, nothing more."

"You have no reflection of the mirror world, nor do you have any so-called dark side. Don't you know that?"

what?

Yan Ming was slightly taken aback by its answer.

Why would you say that?

"Because this is something you did yourself."

What did I do myself?

"Close the door to the inner world, and seal the opposite of everything within it."

"If that's the case... then why does the Mirror World still exist? Isn't the opposite of everything—"

"The Mirror World cannot be compared to the Inner World."

It quietly looked at itself.

"You saved all the worlds, you became the irredeemable demon king, and you ruled over all the demons that threatened the world."

"And then it was you who caused the destruction of all reality."

"...What exactly are you trying to say?"

"I am just a memory. All I can do is retell your past experiences and memories."

Experiences…? Memories? What are those?

Suddenly, Yan Ming felt a sharp pain in his head.

Accompanied by that excruciating pain.

The world... has come into his own hands.

"This is…"

He took out a silver-black watch face from his pocket; its other end was always missing and incomplete.

nowadays.

A golden-black luster slowly gathered on its left side, directly forming a substantial dial.

"This is also... something I inherited from Tokiwa Sougo..."

No, that's not it.

The other self before me, my own memory, uttered its last words to me.

"This is your own true power."

"I wish to prove your power, and I will not comply unless you do."

"I am the master who reveals all things and encompasses all things."

The sound stopped.

The memory completely vanished before my eyes, and then—

A black and gold figure appeared completely before him.

The black and gold figure, draped in a tattered cloak, hovered in mid-air.

"If you can see me, it proves that you have indeed mastered the concept of space and time to this extent."

Who is this person?

Yan Ming didn't recognize this mysterious figure in front of him, nor did he understand what the other party was saying.

only…

As he spoke, the object in his hand seemed to respond by flashing an even more intense light.

"Go."

He slowly raised his hand and pointed to his own hand.

"Walk the path to greater power, and let me witness your true strength as the Demon King of Time and Space!"

Click—click click click—!!

A pitch-black world, at this very moment.

It was completely shattered.

————————————————————

boom!!!

Then, as everyone watched in shock, the world seemed to crack open without anyone noticing.

"Hey, what happened?"

Woz and the others looked up at the sky in astonishment.

The sky turned white on one side and black on the other.

This phenomenon extends across the entire planet, making the sky appear entirely black and white to everyone.

"How...is this possible? What...is this?"

Even Phineas stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

The other four Dark Knights all wore the same expression.

then.

A figure emerged directly from the knight robot's chest.

It's Yan Ming.

However, he was not in a transformed state.

As Yan Ming slowly lowered Anya towards the ground, he seemed to pause for a moment just before landing, then suddenly appeared on the ground.

They were completely unharmed.

Yan Ming raised his head and slowly looked at the knight robot in front of him, which was still moving.
