Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

He then lowered his twin swords and pressed a button on the watch face at his waist.

"Rider Finish Time!"

Countless purple three-dimensional characters appeared around Phoenix, who was suspended in mid-air.

Even if Phoenix tries to dodge, the 3D text will knock it back, trapping it in mid-air.

Yan Ming touched the ground with his feet and leaped directly into the air.

He then leaped toward Phoenix with a flying kick.

"Twice Time Break!"

The devastating blow pierced through Phoenix's outer shell and core.

The silver-purple figure, with destructive power several times greater than before, instantly destroyed the enemy's entire body.

But that's not all.

Even after the enemy was completely wiped out, Yan Ming still increased the force of his kick, sending Phoenix's body flying upwards with the force of his kick.

By this time, Phoenix had been revived.

But whether he was dead or resurrected, Yan Ming didn't care at all. He simply kicked him into the air with incredible force.

We have already passed through the clouds.

It has already risen above the stratosphere.

Yan Ming then kicked him out with a powerful kick, sending him flying into space.

"…ha."

Phoenix, however, just laughed.

It gazes at what is behind it…something that has been watching over this beautiful planet Earth for hundreds of millions of years.

sun.

The starlight illuminated the earth and also clearly revealed Phoenix's face.

That devilish face was smiling.

"Thanks to you... thanks to you for putting me in such a high position, Demon King!"

It gathers all the energy of the body.

Enveloped in flames, it instantly unleashed a shockwave with a radius of tens of kilometers.

Even Yan Ming was blasted back to the ground by this force.

Phoenix increased its flight speed and took the final step, arriving in true outer space.

boom--

Then it raised its hands.

Endless flames and energy... energy from the sun, gradually being absorbed by the top of the head.

"Look, over there in the sky!"

Everyone on the ground also noticed this.

Not only them, but also the people in the village, and even those in other cities, noticed all of this.

A giant fireball gradually took shape near the sun.

Its size is constantly expanding, gradually... it has climbed to a size larger than that of a typical asteroid.

"Are you kidding me... such a huge fireball?"

"Could it be that that guy wants to completely destroy this city?"

Gates and Dinah couldn't help but say that.

But Woz frowned even more urgently.

"...It never intended to destroy a mere city."

Gazing at that gradually taking shape, something comparable to the sun.

Wozniak immediately stated his conclusion.

"Phoenix plans to absorb the sun's energy, create a fireball comparable in size to the sun, and then... throw it onto this Earth."

A fireball the size of the sun?

What would happen if that thing fell to the ground?

It's no longer just a matter of the extinction of human civilization.

In the worst-case scenario, Earth would be completely incinerated, and even the surrounding star belt would be swept up in the incineration.

"Is it even possible for that guy to do something so outrageous?!"

"It might not be possible at first, but once it is killed... it can strengthen itself by resurrection."

By gradually increasing his strength from twice the original amount, Phoenix was able to elevate his power to an unbelievable level.

…it can even expand the range of its power to a size comparable to the sun.

Admittedly, Phoenix's current strength is insufficient to manifest the full energy of the true sun, and it would be unrealistic to say that it could completely match it. However, the mere sight of something of that size falling upon Earth would be enough to bring about its destruction.

This is no longer a situation that any previous force could resolve.

however.

Faced with the fireball gradually taking shape in the sky, Yan Ming chose to confront it head-on.

He took out two swords.

Could it be...?

Seeing Yan Ming gradually making a move, everyone showed even more shocked expressions.

"Could it be that that guy is planning to—?!"

"Zi-O is the strongest!"

"The ultimate Finish Time!"

By connecting the strongest limit sword with the time limit sword, the strongest time limit sword is formed.

then.

The golden light blades, in the form of light particles, soared directly into the sky.

…In the instant it exploded, it completely pierced through a mere few hundred meters and several kilometers in height.

Volume 4, Knights' War: Chapter 125 A Fate Worse Than Death

A massive amount of energy is gathering.

The strongest time-limit sword in Yan Ming's hands is essentially powered by something like photons.

Using the energy of photons, the sword can be transformed into photons when unleashing a finishing move, allowing it to change shape at will.

But that's not all.

Because it is photonic, the blade can extend upwards almost without limit due to its properties.

This is why the previous sword was able to rise to a length exceeding the atmosphere in one go.

By utilizing the photonization property of the blade, the blade of the strongest time-limited sword instantly broke through the limits of several kilometers and even tens of kilometers.

But this stage alone is not enough.

Before our eyes, the enormous fireball in the sky continues to expand, its size now reaching a radius of hundreds, thousands, and even tens of thousands of kilometers.

Although it is still far from the size of the sun, its size is gradually approaching that of a planet.

"This is bad! At this rate, even Zi-O's sword won't be able to cut through that guy's fireball!"

Although Yan Ming's sword blade was also very long, it still couldn't grow as fast as Phoenix's.

If things continue like this, they will definitely be surpassed.

However, Yan Ming was not alarmed.

He slowly raised one of his hands and aimed it directly at the fireball in mid-air.

Wozniak, who was in the distance, naturally noticed this as well.

"Could it be? My Demon King is going to..."

Even Phoenix, far beyond the atmosphere, was able to capture this scene on the ground from such a distance thanks to its powerful eyesight as a phoenix.

"Hehehe! You want to stop time? You want to stop my time?"

Upon seeing what Yan Ming was planning to do, Phoenix scoffed.

"What an idiot! Didn't I already say? Time stopping is meaningless to someone like me who has transcended time!"

Phoenix's flames continue to burn even during a time freeze; they cannot be affected by a mere ability to stop time.

That's the idea behind it.

In its view, Yan Ming was nothing more than a useless person.

"You'd better just give up resisting and hurry up and do it yourself—"

The moment it uttered those words.

The world has returned to peace.

Everything—nothing, no matter what it is, no matter who it is—has come to a standstill.

Even Phoenix, who claims to have transcended time, is no exception.

————————————————————

What is true time stopping?

Every blade of grass and every tree on Earth, all life, everything, including the Earth itself.

Everything around this planet, the Moon, Mars, and even further afield Jupiter, Saturn, Venus... and then the entire solar system.

Expand your gaze to the various stars, star clusters, and all visible celestial objects beyond our solar system, and then to the Milky Way.

And then... even black holes at the far end of the universe were included.

Everything extends infinitely, transcending the power of eternity and the concept of numbers, spreading all the way to the other side of the universe—

Until the very end of the world.

Everything described above has now fallen into a state of complete stillness.

This is what it means for time to stop.

That's what you call time stopping.

Now, looking across the entire universe, within the entire world, the only person who can move freely here is that tiny figure on Earth.

Yan Ming understood perfectly why his abilities were still effective against Phoenix.

Phoenix's flames do indeed have the ability to ignore the stopping of time, and they do indeed possess the power to transcend time.

Then why did it stop itself?

The answer is simple.

Because Yan Ming is the true king of time and space, who has transcended time and space and understands the past and the future.

Phoenix believed that time-related abilities were useless against it, as it had already transcended time. Objectively speaking, this was indeed true. Looking at the time-related abilities it had demonstrated before, they were ineffective against Phoenix.

But that does not include the power of Zi-O II.

Zi-O II's power originates from Oma Zi-O, the ultimate king who transcends time—a part of his power.

This ability alone is enough for Yan Ming to master time manipulation that surpasses everything else.

No matter who it is, no matter what kind of ability or power they possess to resist time and space, they can never defeat Yan Ming in this respect.

Because in terms of time manipulation, the Demon King who controls time is the most qualified.

Time, the fundamental element of world history and the essential element of all things, must submit to this demon king.
