Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

At this time, Yan Ming had already foreseen the true future.

The explosion subsided... and then the flames reignited.

It's Phoenix.

From a completely shattered body to a state of faint flame, and then to the complete transformation of the body back to its original state.

resurrection.

"It's a pity... the ability I possess is the ability to completely resurrect."

Judging from Phoenix's tone, all the injuries inflicted on it before had disappeared after the other party revived.

"I possess the power to control fire, and I can ignite flames from nothingness... Even the stillness of time cannot stop my resurrection."

"Moreover, each time you are resurrected, your power will increase by a certain amount!"

The next moment, Phoenix soared to an altitude of three thousand meters.

It then fell back to the ground at an overwhelming speed.

Boom—!!

The entire city was violently shaken.

Phoenix used his body as a projectile to strike the earth, and the impact generated in that instant was enough to shake the entire mantle.

It is not satisfied with this.

It flew back into the air at an even faster speed than before, seemingly intending to deliver an even more powerful blow to the ground.

Yan Ming certainly couldn't just leave it unattended.

Then, he gently touched the ground with his toes.

The silver-purple figure instantly soared to the same height in the sky.

By channeling his own strength into his feet and using approximately five times the energy, Yan Ming instantly leaped to a height of about three thousand meters.

Upon seeing the figure chasing after him, Phoenix clicked his tongue in displeasure.

"That relentless bastard...!"

Then, Phoenix instantly spread its wings, and countless feathers transformed into a rain of fire arrows, relentlessly attacking Yan Ming's direction as if locked on.

Yan Ming, on the other hand, stood on thin air, facing Phoenix in an impossible posture.

The battle broke out again thousands of meters in the air.

Volume 4, Knight Wars: Chapter 124 The Crisis of Earth's Destruction

On one side is the phoenix, which possesses the power of fire.

On one side is the Demon King, who can manipulate time at will.

Yan Ming stepped forward through the air, his feet barely touching the ground, in mid-air where there was nothing at all.

The principle is also very simple.

By using the ability to stop time, the corresponding part of the space can also be frozen, thus creating a place to land.

Countless feathers were being shot at face to face.

Each feather, only a few centimeters in size, has a temperature exceeding 10,000 degrees Celsius and the penetrating power to instantly pierce through buildings.

The number of those feathers was greater than that of raindrops.

Even with Clock Up speed, it's still impossible to survive unscathed among so many feathers.

and so.

Yan Ming did not simply accelerate his own time.

On the contrary, he slowed down time.

Time slowed down for everything around him except himself.

The world seemed to have turned into an extreme slow motion.

Even the sounds became incredibly slow; Phoenix's voice became drawn out, and the sonic boom of a feather breaking through the air could last for tens of seconds.

Only Yan Ming.

In a space where time had been completely slowed down, he stepped on the solidified space while reaching for his sword.

"Zi-O is the strongest!"

The pointer in front of me is spinning rapidly.

What appeared before Yan Ming's eyes was the scene of the enemy being completely pierced through by his own attack!

"Overlord Slash!"

Puff-!

Time returned to its normal flow rate.

However, Phoenix suddenly shuddered and looked at Yan Ming in disbelief.

The blade pierced through his core.

"when?!"

no respond.

Yan Ming swiftly slashed the blade from the side, and a sharp purple light blade spread out around him like a disc.

From a distance, it looks like a colorful clock.

The explosive burst of vibrant colors instantly obscured the enemy's entire body.

Phoenix, struck, fell to the ground like debris, its body dissipating in mid-air before reigniting in flames.

This was its second death.

After Yan Ming drew his sword, he accelerated his descent, causing him to land rapidly on the ground. Phoenix's body also landed at high speed on a building in the distance.

boom--!!

This time, he saw a huge pillar of fire hurtling towards the city.

But the target of the attack was not Yan Ming... but the entire city.

It still intends to attack everything, including innocent people.

"Knight's Slash!"

Yan Ming did not choose to use his time manipulation ability to control the opponent's attack. Instead, he countered the opponent with simple slashing attacks.

The massive sword aura, gleaming with purple light, instantly clashed with flames powerful enough to incinerate an entire city.

The massive, raging inferno was completely neutralized by a purple sword aura that was less than 300 meters in size.

Yan Ming succeeded.

The Knight's Slash completely neutralized the opponent's flames, preventing the city from being destroyed and protecting the people behind him.

Even though he successfully neutralized the enemy's attack, he was not happy about it.

There is one reason.

'...The Knight's Slash should be able to finish off that last attack without holding back.'

Under normal circumstances, Yan Ming would not need to make any output adjustments; he could simply use the most basic Knight Slash skill to neutralize Phoenix's flames.

But the result was not as he expected.

Although the Knight's Slash eventually managed to neutralize the flames, the stalemate lasted for quite some time, probably several seconds.

This indicates that... the opponent's strength has indeed increased.

It is about twice as strong as before.

Then--

While Yan Ming was thinking rapidly, Phoenix launched another surprise attack on him.

"Would you like to come again?"

Phoenix plunged straight down.

Its fiery bird-like form instantly transformed into a massive fiery impact.

Yan Ming raised his strongest ultimate sword and instinctively unleashed a sword aura.

Phoenix, however, was twisted as it was hit.

The body, which originally consisted of only one entity, instantly transformed into two, three... dozens of entities.

They completely surrounded Yan Ming.

"A clone..."

Each clone possesses speed and power comparable to the original; if it were to be hit like that…

However, Yan Ming still did not feel that this was a crisis.

He stood calmly in place, assuming a defensive stance, while the pointer in front of him spun rapidly in an instant.

The world that only he could see was presented before his eyes.

boom--!!

At that very moment, all the clones simultaneously closed in on Yan Ming.

The onlookers couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

Then.

The sound of being pierced by a sharp blade echoed through the city.

"Guh-Puwaaa!!"

The very tip of the ultimate sword pierced the enemy's chest completely.

Flames like fresh blood flowed through the air, and countless clones around them vanished completely.

Why...?

Phoenix gripped Yan Ming's sword with both hands, looking at him in disbelief.

"Your 'precognition'...it's impossible for you to tell which one is my true form. Even if you could foresee the future, you couldn't tell!"

If you simply predict the enemy's future, you will only see yourself being attacked by the enemy, and you will not be able to distinguish which one is the real body.

"I create the future."

"…What did you say?"

Yan Ming's words pierced Phoenix's ears like a poisonous thorn.

"You said the future... is something you create... what does that mean?!"

It really is just the literal meaning.

First, the Demon King, who possesses the ability to freely manipulate time, can easily observe all timelines.

On the timeline, there are endless futures, all of which will influence the future development of the world... and each future can even create a real universe of possibilities.

But Yan Ming can do more than just predict the inevitable future.

He can also select the outcome he wants from all these futures, choosing the appropriate future and making it inevitable.

But now... that's not what Yan Ming is doing.

He simply used his abilities to create the future outcome that "Phoenix's true form will inevitably be hit by me."

It was Yan Ming who single-handedly created a completely new future through his own efforts.

—Just how terrifying must one's time manipulation abilities be to accomplish something like this?

The power to create the future is a terrifying force that is hard for anyone to imagine.

Or rather, he is able to do this... which is why he is called the Demon King.

Clang! He raised his sword and with one strike sent Phoenix flying high into the air.
