Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

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

Under the glow of the night.

A person is standing on the beach in the distance.

She gazed at the sea under the moonlight, then turned her gaze to the folk-style inn in the distance.

correct.

During the day, the man who did all that... stayed in this hotel.

It observed everything, and it understood that the other's existence was something this world should not have.

That is not a power that humans should possess, or rather, humans, who are created by God like puppets, should not possess that kind of power.

—The ability to manipulate time and space throughout the world.

This power is far too early for humanity. No… humanity should never possess this power, no matter what. This power should be taken away, sealed, and weakened.

This force should be dominated by these inhuman beings.

Therefore, it naturally set its sights on that human.

day.

A whole day has passed since the Angel Fall incident, but yesterday most of the discussion was actually about the Time Manager.

Yan Ming still hasn't found out who the culprit behind the angel's fall is.

However... he wasn't completely without clues.

Of all the people he saw, Kanzaki Kaori, Tsuchimikado Motoharu, and Kamijou Touma... none of them gave him any great sense of unease.

The person who truly feels out of place is actually the least noticeable one.

Misha Chloejef.

For some reason, instinctively, Yan Ming could sense an aura about the other person that shouldn't belong to her.

Even Wozniak had the same misconception.

No… in the end, is it really just an illusion?

"You say you're not the caster... what are you talking about?!"

"So, what exactly is this 'fallen angels' story?"

Yan Ming, who was strolling and thinking on the beach, suddenly heard voices coming from not far away.

It is Touma Kamijou and his father, Touya Kamijou.

The two seemed to be arguing about something, and then…

Yan Ming saw another person approaching.

A girl wearing red clothes and straitjacket, with long blonde hair.

Misha Chloejef.

"...What exactly is going on?"

Yan Ming quickly approached the two of them and looked at Mi Xia, who was directly opposite him.

"What are you arguing about? Why is Michael here?"

“…that thing.”

Kamijou Touma scratched his head, looking at Yan Ming somewhat awkwardly.

"We seem to have discovered something quite important, which is that..."

"what?"

"My dad seems to be the one who casts the spell of the fallen angels."

…ah?

Yan Ming was slightly taken aback. He looked directly at Kamijou Touya beside him, but there was nothing... unusual about him.

How could someone like that be the caster of such world-class magic?

"Wait, wait a minute! Michael Chloejef! Even my dad himself doesn't understand what's going on, could you please not just leave it at that—"

Suddenly.

The world before Yan Ming's eyes transformed into a scene that only he could see.

He grabbed the hands of both Touma and Touya Kamijou and pushed them backward at incredible speed.

--boom!!

The surrounding seawater transformed into some kind of tornado, bombarding the spot where the two of them had been standing.

"this--!"

Kamijou Touma looked at the person opposite him in disbelief.

The girl named Misha... launched an attack on them.

"W-what's going on? What was that just now? Is it...is a movie being filmed?!"

"This is bad. Misha really does see my father as the real culprit and intends to...!"

"No, Kamijou Touma."

Yan Ming pulled the bewildered Kamijou Touya and Kamijou Touma behind him while squinting at them.

Yes... a sense of incongruity, a huge sense of incongruity.

And he finally guessed some things.

“Misha Krejkov, this name… I read it a little in the Russian context, and it’s not a woman’s name.”

"So that means—?!"

“That’s a pseudonym. Misha doesn’t exist at all, and… I felt from the very beginning that there was a huge sense of incongruity about him that I had never experienced before.”

She was clearly a woman, but used a man's pseudonym... No, it doesn't matter whether the other person is male or female.

Then, such a huge sense of incongruity made Yan Ming think for a moment that the other party was not human.

They were determined to find the caster of the fallen angels... as if they desperately wanted to end this farcical magic.

All the points converged together.

"I've finally seen through your true identity."

For an instant.

Misha Chloejev raised her head, her blood-red eyes looking at Yan Ming.

The whole world has undergone tremendous changes.

Day turned into night.

The relative positions of the sun and moon, and even the Earth, are all under our control.

"Since this magic is called Angel's Fall, and considering all these circumstances, it's not hard to figure out the true identity of the person standing in front of us, Misha."

Ignore Yan Ming's words.

Misha soared into the air with overwhelming force, and above her head—no…above Earth's atmosphere—a huge, deep blue magic circle instantly appeared, enveloping the entire surface of the earth.

It holds the relative positions of countless celestial bodies in the universe in its hands. If the other party so desires, the Earth's rotation can even stop in an instant, and everything on the surface can be easily flung away.

Such immense power could not possibly be possessed by an ordinary human or an ordinary magician.

correct.

The Fall of Angels is called the Fall of Angels precisely because angels are real.

“Misha…and then, based on your current state, change the sky to night, with the moon as the main axis, I see…that’s how it is.”

"Huh? What? What are you talking about?"

Kamijou Touma still looked bewildered, but Yan Ming instantly deduced the conclusion based on the vast amount of knowledge in his mind.

"The angel who would do this, let me make a guess... your identity is Gabriel, the god of water, right?"

boom--!!

As Yan Ming spoke, countless enormous ice wings, each over a hundred meters long, instantly formed behind Misha.

"...Looks like I guessed right."

Yan Ming, a human, stood on the ground.

They confronted each other, with Misha standing high above as an angel.

"W-what-what's going on?!"

Kamijou Touya stared wide-eyed at the person flying in the sky.

"Am I dreaming? Or is this actually a movie shoot? Yes... yes, it must be a movie shoot! I'd almost believe it if they said aliens invaded Earth!"

The situation looks very bad.

Yan Ming glanced at Touya Kamijou, then at Touma Kamijou beside him.

"Kamijo! Take your father and get out of here!"

"I understand! But... how do I do it?"

"I'll handle this guy. You guys take this opportunity to get out of here!"

Kamijou Touma's right hand possesses the power to erase all supernatural abilities, so Yan Ming cannot use the Aurora Veil's power to take him and his father away from here.

Since that's the case, we'll just have to let them run.

"Dad! Uh, don't worry about it. Anyway, it's special effects! It's just part of a movie shoot, just think of it that way!"

"I...I see, so it really is a movie shoot, right?"

"Ah, that's right! That's it! So let's get out of here quickly, so as not to delay the actors filming the movie!"

After finally managing to appease Touya Kamijou, Touma Kamijou quickly took him away from there.

They figured everything out: Misha's true identity was an angel, and what it was meant to do was eliminate the caster who caused the angel's fall.

Although it's unclear why Touya Kamijou became the caster of this magic, Touma Kamijou certainly wouldn't stand idly by and watch his father be killed by someone else.

"I'm entrusting everything to you, Yan Ming!"

The two hurriedly left, while the angel kept her gaze fixed on Yan Ming the whole time.

A huge sense of incongruity, no... I should say it's the aura.

The aura emanating from this angel surpasses that of most of the enemies I have encountered so far.

In the past, Yan Ming had also seen angels in the other world where Ainz Ooal Gown lived, but those angels were no match for this angel.

To use Yan Ming's own words, the strength of the angels he had seen before was like a few raindrops, while the strength of the angel in front of him was like a global downpour.

That's how exaggerated the difference in strength is.

Perhaps even the demons named Phoenix and Baal are no match for this angel.

Judging solely from their auras, Yan Ming did not believe he would lose.

He can win.

The enemy before him was not someone he couldn't defeat no matter what; he still had a chance of winning.

"Your goal is to eliminate the caster of the Fallen Angels spell, so you plan to kill Kamijou Touya?"

The angel before them did not reply.

However, under Yan Ming's gaze, huge magic circles suddenly appeared in the sky, which had turned into the dead of night.

The magic circles were a deep blue color, and they circled the Earth's surface at an angle that humans could not perceive, almost covering half of the Earth.

"How could this be...!"

A new voice came from beside him. Yan Ming turned his head and saw that it was Kanzaki Kaori standing next to him.
