Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

Just how enormous and unimaginable must that be?

Regardless of who it was, whether it was Woz or Phoenix who thought he could withstand Yan Ming's time manipulation, they were all frozen in their original positions like statues.

The world fell into eternal peace.

If Yan Ming only wanted to kill Phoenix, he had plenty of ways to deal with him.

but…

The other party is the culprit who created this tragic world, the bastard who makes people all over the world live in tragedy.

I am the real Demon King, so... I can't let it go so easily.

Yan Ming gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands, and the very tip of the strongest time limit sword continued to rise.

It has already surpassed the previous highest length.

If you were standing on one side of the moon, you could see that the enormous golden blade of light instantly broke through the height of the moon and was more than 380,000 kilometers away from Earth.

It's still climbing.

At the edge of that enormous fireball, which was gradually approaching the size of the sun, the golden blade... had completely exceeded its internal diameter.

Right now.

Yan Ming fully raised the long sword in his hand.

A purple dial burst forth from the very tip of the sword, shattering into space.

The golden longsword was slightly raised, and then—in an instant—it approached the huge fireball.

"King! Giri Giri Slash!"

King's Ultimate Slash.

The light blade completely tore apart the outer surface of the fireball, severing its core in one fell swoop, and instantly destroyed the entire massive fireball from the inside with its enormous photon energy.

Time resumed its flow.

Normal operations have resumed worldwide, including in Phoenix.

"Varied--?!"

"King! Giri Giri Slash!"

The sound once again spread throughout the world.

Ignoring Phoenix's utterly shocked state, Yan Ming completely locked onto his location.

With all his might, he brought the sword down from a great height.

"Pfft—Ughhhhhh!!!!"

Phoenix, who was hit head-on, did not seem to have his body severed, but rather as if he had been struck by a huge, golden hand, and fell straight to the ground.

The energy of the photons completely destroyed its internal structure.

After being attacked by such a powerful force, Phoenix was completely unable to resist and fell directly onto the blue and white planet below.

————————————————————————

"Ugh... Ah..."

Phoenix just fell to the ground like that.

The flames around it vanished, clearly indicating that its power could no longer sustain its existence in this world.

will die.

However, death is not terrible for Phoenix. After death, it can be resurrected and gain further power.

But it could never understand.

Why…

Why is he able to stop his own time? I clearly... I clearly shouldn't be affected by any time-related abilities! I've clearly already transcended time!

Phoenix used his half-crippled wings to support his body, but he couldn't stand up at all.

It's already at its limit; after that, the body will immediately dissipate.

"But...hehe...it'll be...resurrected soon, right?"

Phoenix smiled with joy. It wouldn't die. So what if the other party could stop time? It could still be resurrected.

No matter what, it won't happen—

hum.

Accompanied by a burst of colorful light, Phoenix's body, which was about to dissipate, suddenly stopped in place.

Yan Ming stood to its side, raised his hand, and suddenly stopped its time.

Meanwhile, Woz and the others had already rushed over here.

They saw Yan Ming raise his hand, pausing Phoenix time, and immediately looked at him in astonishment.

"My Demon King... have you completely defeated this guy?"

"What are your plans to do with it next?"

Gates crossed his arms and looked at Phoenix.

"As expected, such a dangerous creature should be eliminated as soon as possible."

"If it were just about killing it, I could have done it from the beginning."

Accelerate time, rewind time, and create a future where Phoenix can never be resurrected.

No matter which one it is, Yan Ming has a way to completely eliminate the demon in front of him.

only…

Yan Ming glanced at Dian Si, whose expression was indeed quite complicated.

Because of these demons, he lost his only parents and the world he originally lived in.

And Dian Si seemed to realize that he was being watched.

After regaining his senses, Dian Si exhaled softly and tried his best to calm himself down.

"...Mr. Yan Ming, you..."

"I'm sorry, I've searched everywhere. Although I can observe the timeline, I can only observe the timeline of the world we live in. I can't observe what this guy did in the past."

In other words, Yan Ming couldn't clearly see what Phoenix had done in other worlds, or where their demonic stronghold was.

Perhaps it could be done with the full power of Oma Zi-O, but for now, that's already the limit.

"...It's okay."

Dian Si shook his head, as if he had come to terms with it.

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. At least, what happened in this world has taught me that there are many demons like them wreaking havoc in other worlds."

"I understand."

After learning of Dian Si's thoughts, Yan Ming nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

He waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse.

"...It's time for this heinous thing to pay the price it deserves."

So Yan Ming casually snapped his fingers.

Time resumed its flow.

"Gurgle—?!"

Phoenix snapped out of his daze and found that these guys were all surrounding him.

"What...what do you want?!"

"You seem quite confident that you won't die, don't you?"

The demon king before him... gradually began to look strange in Phoenix's eyes.

It was clearly just a human figure.

In its eyes, however, it began to become even more terrifying than a demon.

Yan Ming took out a watch face from behind him; it was the Decade control watch face.

By observing the timeline, he has confirmed the specific spatial conditions of this world.

Behind countless parallel universes, there exists a different dimension with an extremely low probability of existence.

There was nothing there, no concept of time or dimensions, nothing at all; it was completely isolated from the universe.

Using the power of Zi-O II, Yan Ming obtained the spatial coordinates of that location, and then—

"D·D·D·Decade!"

Pressing the button on the dial, an aurora curtain leading to that space unfolded directly to his right.

"What exactly do you want—!!—Huh?!"

Completely ignoring Phoenix's words, Yan Ming tapped his forehead with his finger.

Time was forcibly reversed.

Phoenix's body, which was about to die completely in the next second, instantly reverted to the moment when he was completely hit, the moment when he was on the verge of death.

Next, Yan Ming continued to overlap the time with the time.

He rewound time to loop the most powerful attack Phoenix encountered at the last moment.

—Without restriction.

"My Demon King... what have you done?"

Wozniak stared at Phoenix in shock.

It... was screaming in agony.

"Guwa hee hee ha ah ah ah ah ah?!!"

Phoenix's body was instantly crushed into a pulpy mess of flames by a violent impact. Just as it was about to die, it suddenly rewound to the moment when it was perfectly intact and was attacked again.

It had absolutely no chance of escape.

Because the speed of rewinding and attack release is getting faster and faster, at first people could still react, but gradually, it has become so fast that people's eyes can't keep up.

"What—what are you to me—?!"

“I won’t let you die… that would increase your power, so I will make you revert to your normal state at the moment before you die, and then continue to suffer this kind of attack.”

"How...how could this be?! Hehehe?! I...I am—? A demon?! Hehehe—?!"

Crushed by force, then near death, then recovering, then crushed again, near death, then resurrected.

Loop, loop, loop, loop, loop, loop—

This is an endless period of time, a time from which there will never be daylight.

Moreover, Phoenix's consciousness will not decline, because Yan Ming's time reversal will restore its spirit to its healthiest moment, making it impossible for it to have a mental breakdown.

As long as Yan Ming does not lift the ban.

And all of this will continue to repeat itself endlessly.

"Help—hahahaha, help me! Please—no matter how much you want, I'll give you anything, just please stop hehehe?!"

Fortunately, Yan Ming stopped Anya's time beforehand, preventing her from witnessing such a heinous scene.

But the people around him... were looking at Phoenix with disbelief.

"You shall remain forever in this space where there is nothing."

Bang!! He delivered a flying kick, sending Phoenix flying directly into the Aurora Curtain.

There was no light, no place to stand, and Phoenix would experience everything in that dark, deserted world forever.

It will never end, even if it vanishes forever.

"Wait! I know I was wrong—Puwahae?! So please forgive me! I, I won't—"

Faced with Phoenix's final request, Yan Ming did only one thing.
