Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

That is... Ur himself, the Time Jacker.

'What... happened?!'

Ur could barely maintain consciousness; he tried to move his hands and feet, but he couldn't even move a single finger.

Under his gaze, the three people walked directly from around the corner.

"Time...King!"

He looked at the three people in front of him with an incredulous expression.

"Where do you think you're going, you Time-Trapper?"

"How...how could this be...when did you guys...stop your immunity time...?!"

In Ur's mind, neither the resurrected Geiz nor Zi-O II could possibly resist the time-manipulation abilities of the Time Jackers.

But no matter how Ur used his time-related abilities—whether it was reversing time, attacking, or stopping time—it was all useless.

It's not that my abilities have disappeared.

It's as if... the concept of "time" is unwilling to submit to itself. The concept of "time" has chosen to surrender to the existence before it, and it is no longer willing to accept the influence of its own power.

In other words, in terms of time management, the other party's priority must absolutely supersede one's own.

This fundamentally deprives Ur of its current control over time.

"Was that Another Build you were behind earlier?"

Woz held the book in his hands and calmly looked at the immobilized Ur.

"Relax. As long as you are willing to tell us what happened and why you are here, we will consider letting you go unharmed."

"Isn't it a bit too early to be thinking about this kind of thing now?"

boom--!!

Just as Woz was about to approach Ur, a stream of black light instantly descended upon the two of them.

A man dressed in purple smiled at them.

"Long time no see, Woz... and Gates."

"Swartz!"

There wasn't even time for any touching farewells or other nonsense.

Swartz waved his hand, and immediately a dark figure descended from the sky.

The dark figure swallowed him and Ur whole, then transformed into a gigantic maw that lunged at Yan Ming and Gates.

"Watch out, my Demon King!"

Woz shouted repeatedly, but Yan Ming calmly drew his sword.

Facing a world that had become completely dark, he swung his sword directly.

The purple light directly illuminated the entire swallowed, pitch-black world.

All the shadows that attempted to attack them were shattered by the aftershocks of Yan Ming's blast.

Volume 5 of A Certain Magical Index: Chapter 168 The Demon King with a Terrifying Future

boom--!!

The shadowy figure was instantly shattered by Yan Ming's direct attack.

However, the radiance that was revealed further struck them once more.

Just before Yan Ming was about to be attacked, Gates flew directly in front of him and then turned the dial on his waist.

The blue armor instantly changed into orange Iron Wall armor.

"Powered Time!"

"RE·V·I·VE Goretsu! Goretsu!"

A barrage of light exploded across Gates' chest, yet it did nothing to harm him.

Gates instantly swung his weapon, the orange saw flashing out and crushing all the light spots scattered in mid-air.

Wait until the explosion is over.

The three of them then realized that there was no one left in front of them.

"Did they escape?"

After confirming that Ur and Swartz had disappeared, the two of them finally deactivated their transformations.

In fact, Yan Ming could have forcibly brought them all back by rewinding time, but he didn't want to act so rashly.

"Woz, tell me about those two guys from earlier."

Since Wozniak and Gates both know them, he needs to find out about these two people as soon as possible.

Woz didn't waste any time and immediately opened the book to begin explaining.

“Ul and Swartz were my and Geiz’s enemies before. They were members of the Time Jackers, just like Finis. They appeared repeatedly as enemies of Tokiwa Sougo, but they were eventually eliminated for various reasons.”

"Although they exist as ordinary teachers and students in the world that Tokiwa Sougo has reset, judging from the situation, if these two people did not recover their original memories and escape from that world, then they can only be individuals from other parallel worlds in different dimensions."

"So you're saying that the people who released that Another Rider were them, right? Just understand that."

"But neither Swartz nor Ur should be able to do something like what just happened."

Neither becoming a shadow nor becoming light is something these two people can do.

There is no doubt that something else is helping them.

"It's most likely a demon."

Yan Ming immediately guessed the current situation.

"Didn't that Hai Dong Da Shu say that he came to this world by tracking the demons? And these two Time Jackers you mentioned just happened to appear here. It's hard for everything not to be connected."

"In addition to the Time Jacker Phineas you knew before, whose appearance was also transformed by the demons, it is very likely that these guys are closely connected."

Time-riding beings and demons...?

After listening to Yan Ming's analysis, both Gates and Wozniak became tense.

"There were already enough troubles dealing with those demons, and now those Time Jackers are adding to the chaos? Are you kidding me!"

"It might not be that bad, Gates. Do you remember the Time Managers who attacked us before?"

"You're not going to say those guys are colluding with the devil too, are you?"

"That's very possible."

In that case, the three forces would be united, and all of them would exist as their enemies.

Thinking about it this way, the pressure gradually started to increase.

"It doesn't matter how many people come."

"what?"

Gates was clearly very troubled by this, but Yan Ming seemed to be completely unconcerned.

No… he’s not the kind of person who simply doesn’t take his opponents seriously anymore.

Rather, it was an evaluation made out of consideration for the overall situation and a perfect understanding of the strength of one's own camp.

"With our current strength, even if another group of demons and time jackals join forces, they will not be a match for us."

"This...while it is indeed true, my Demon King, we shouldn't..."

“I know what you’re trying to say, Woz. Don’t worry, I’m well aware of the situation regarding the enemy and myself.”

This is by no means the kind of arrogant plan that comes without any reason.

Yan Ming calmly considered all the current situations, all the factions... even taking into account the scientific and magical factions of this world.

“We should understand one thing: first of all, this is a city that belongs to Aleister.”

"So what?"

“Since those guys are causing trouble all over his city, he can’t just sit idly by.”

Aleister will definitely send someone to handle this matter, and it won't be some superficial combat organization like the security guards.

When Aleister sends out a sufficiently powerful force to deal with those guys, Yan Ming and his team can use the atmosphere generated by the battle to further seize their lair.

This is why Yan Ming let them go.

"Whether it's the Time Jackers or the demons, no matter what tricks they pull, they can't do anything to us... What we really need to be careful about is what they want to do in this world? That's what we really need to be wary of."

Everything he said and did was heard and seen by someone hiding in the shadows.

Haidong Big Tree.

He was now slowly walking away from the street near the group, having heard everything Yan Ming had said to Gates and Woz.

"Not only are they highly skilled, but even in such an emergency, they were able to make such a calm and straightforward analysis in the face of three sudden factions."

Previously, Tsukasa Kadoya had approached Daiki Kaito, and the two discussed the matter of the new Demon Lord.

Tsukasa Kadoya's assessment was that his current strength was already very strong, and his potential to become even stronger in the future was simply unimaginable.

However, in Hai Dong Daiki's view now, this Demon King's strength is not just in terms of sheer physical prowess.

Their intellect, intelligence, and even their vigilance against the enemy are all on par with each other.

Even when possessing advantages in both strength and strategy, they still don't underestimate the enemy, always considering how to further incorporate the enemy into their plans...

When these fighting spirits and combat abilities are combined, what is obtained is the true strength of the Demon King.

It can be said that, to this day, Haidong has never seen such a terrifying person.

But this also increased his anxiety about the future.

"With such immense power, will he really not do anything outrageous in the future?"

The last person to have such a future was Tokiwa Sougo.

In countless parallel worlds, Tokiwa Sougo has become different Oma Zi-Os due to various choices, and among them, the possibility of bringing the world to destruction accounts for at least 80%.

Of those few possibilities, the future that Tokiwa Sougo chooses is a bright and upright one.

Currently, neither he nor Tsukasa Kadoya knows whether Shirin Enmei is a parallel world individual.

If not... then it means that the future of this young man has no direction whatsoever.

If he chooses to become a righteous demon king like Tokiwa Sougo, whom he knows, then that would be fine.

But what if he chooses to end up like Oma Zi-O in the future of 2068...?

What kind of being will this person, who has even greater potential than the original Tokiwa Sougo, become?

can not imagine.

The more he imagined what might happen, the more Kaito Daiki felt a terrifying sense of dread.

But in any case, he knew very well that he absolutely could not do anything like 'to prevent that future from happening, so I should consider killing this guy now to eliminate any future trouble'.

Doing so would only lead to something even more terrifying.

"At least for now, he is a righteous hero, a wise king... I'll just judge him based on that for now."

Continuing to stay in this world, Daiki Kaito investigated matters concerning demons and time jackers.

…while remaining vigilant about the situation of a person named Shilun Yanming.

————————————————————————————

Inside an abandoned building, a black, shadow-like whirlwind descended directly upon it.

Whoosh—! Then, the figures of Ur and Swartz appeared.

"You guys are too slow to get back, aren't you?"

Aura, who remained inside the house, was eating ice cream as she walked towards the two of them.

"Didn't you say you were just going to test out the new abilities of Another Build? Why are you back so late?"

"...You have no idea what happened."
