Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

Lloyd held his wife's hand tightly.

Joel also held his hand tightly.

The two looked at each other, their emotions complex, yet they had made up their minds.

“I believe that in the original history, my wife, children, and I would have definitely met.”

"Right? Joel, Anya."

Upon hearing Lloyd's words, Joel felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

For many years, she had addressed Lloyd as "Miss" and "Mr."

This must be the first time.

He referred to himself as Joel.

Faintly, Joel felt a warm stream slowly flowing from the corner of his eye.

"Are you alright, Joel..."

"Um... I'm fine, Mr. Lloyd."

She wiped away her tears and then gripped the other person's hand tightly.

"We will definitely meet again, we definitely will..."

"And Anya! Don't forget Anya, Mom and Dad!"

"Yes! No matter where we are, our family will never be separated!"

In this unreasonable world, this family of three has already sacrificed too much.

They experienced the moment when all their friends and family left them.

They experienced the moment when their city was swallowed up by disaster.

They experienced one point of utter despair after another…

Now, all those tragic experiences will vanish.

The real life that they were meant to have will be returned to them through Yan Ming's hands.

“Yan Ming…brother.”

Anya hugged Yan Ming's body.

The teenage girl slightly raised her head and couldn't help but look at him.

"In that original world, Anya... will I ever see you again?"

silence.

Even Lloyd and Joel were at a loss for words, because everyone knew the answer.

"Ania".

Yan Ming squatted down slightly.

He gently stroked Anya's little head and smiled at her.

"We made a promise."

"what…"

"We will definitely meet again, in a completely new world."

"Hmm... No, you can't lie to Anya."

She forced back her tears and smiled as she nodded at Yan Ming.

What a strong child.

Yan Ming stood up and looked at the three people in front of him.

"Then I... will go do something."

"...We understand."

The Lloyds immediately looked at Yan Ming seriously.

"So…"

"Thank you for everything you have helped us so far... Mr. Yan Ming."

Including Anya.

The Lloyd family bowed deeply to Yan Ming.

He didn't say anything, he just calmly turned around.

They quietly left the village.

Yan Ming walked slowly through the forest without using any special abilities.

He wanted to see the world one last time.

Finally, let's take another look at this era in which countless people fought tooth and nail to survive, an era that witnessed so many bloody memories.

Then he came to the top of a mountain.

A few minutes later, Gates and Wozniak arrived behind him.

"Are you ready?"

"My Demon King, you can begin at any time."

Yan Ming took a deep breath.

The two stood behind him, and Yan Ming took out the gold and silver watch face directly from his pocket.

He held the watch face high, facing the world before him.

In the final moment, close your eyes.

Goodbye...to this world that evokes so many emotions.

Then, immediately following, encompassing everything, all of time—

The world was reduced to black fragments, shattered in endless nothingness.

-------------------

A bustling and beautiful world.

The night sky enveloped this land, a country called the Eastern Kingdom.

The city lights under the night sky, the river, and the people coming and going all blend together, creating a wonderful atmosphere.

"Oh my god... that really startled me!"

A man wearing a gray suit, a red tie, and short flaxen hair.

He walked to the door of the house as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, they secured a place at Eden Academy. Although the situation was dire, Anya was able to enroll...

The spy from the Western intelligence agency, codenamed "Twilight," has had his real name discarded.

In this household, his pseudonym was Lloyd Fogg.

Having worked as a spy for so many years, he has accomplished a great deal.

Things like stopping nuclear missile launches and defeating countless criminals single-handedly.

But what he found most difficult was indeed the current task...

In order to complete the plan codenamed "Owl," he had to start a family in this Eastern country, enroll his children in Eden Academy, and finally find a specific target to assassinate.

In his eyes, none of the many tasks that Lloyd could usually handle were nearly as difficult as the one he was facing now.

"I'm back--"

"Waaah! It's Daddy!"

"Ah! Mr. Lloyd, you're back!"

Upon opening the door, his wife and daughter... though they were only temporarily posing, were there to greet him at the door.

"Well, and then, to celebrate Anya's successful admission to Eden Academy—"

"Oh! Oh!"

"I specifically bought bacon and peanuts!"

"Really?! That's amazing, Daddy!! Anya, wow, wow! (super excited)!!"

"That's wonderful, Miss Anya!"

"Oh right, you two change your clothes a bit, we're going out for a meal later."

"Okay~!" ×2

After changing into their outdoor clothes, Lloyd and his family went straight outside.

The night sky is beautiful, and it's even more beautiful when combined with the brightly lit city lights around it.

That's wonderful... It's precisely because we live in such an era that we should prevent the outbreak of war.

That's what Lloyd thought.

"Whoa—!"

Just then, Anya bumped into someone.

"Ah—Miss Anya!"

"Ania! Are you alright?"

Seeing his daughter almost fall to the ground, Lloyd quickly caught her.

"Seriously... you need to watch out for pedestrians when you're walking."

"Waaah... I'm sorry, Daddy..."

"Okay, hurry up and apologize to the person you bumped into."

Anya quickly rubbed her little head.

Then she slowly raised her head and looked at the person who had been bumped into in front of her.

Huh?

"I'm so sorry, my daughter accidentally bumped into you... Oh? Anya...?"

Lloyd and Joel looked at their daughter with some surprise.

Because... when she looked up and saw the person approaching.

She couldn't help but cry.

"What's wrong, Anya? Did you bump into something and it still hurts?"

"No...my...father..."

Anya quickly rubbed her eyes, trying to stop the tears from flowing.

But—why?

With black hair and purple eyes, why couldn't she stop crying after seeing the young man she had bumped into?

Anya couldn't understand it at all.

"Are you alright, little sister?"

Yan Ming gently stroked Anya's little head.

"Sorry, I bumped into you by accident."

"No, big brother... Ming, it was clearly Anya's fault..."

"Don't say that, we'll both be more careful next time... By the way, how about this?"

He smiled at Anya and spoke in the gentlest tone.

"It's my destiny to meet such a lovely little girl like you. If we have the chance to meet again in the future, let's go to the river to catch small fish and shrimp together."

"Really?"
