Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

"So strong..."

Watching Yan Ming go back and forth with the dark figure, Gates even forgot about fighting for a moment and just stood there watching Yan Ming's movements.

Then, Yan Ming's many complicated actions paid off.

Using the Time Limit Sword as a cover, he dodged the opponent's attacks one after another... for this very purpose.

Take the opponent's freely changing body, like tangled threads, and twist it from the inside.

"Now, Gates."

"Oh—I understand!"

He quickly snapped out of his daze, took out the Time Axe, and switched to bow mode.

Red arrows rained down on the demon's head.

Yan Ming retreated swiftly, switching his sword to gun mode, and countless purple light bullets flew through the enemy in front of him.

Both the arrow and the gun worked.

However, when the dust settled, Yan Ming saw that the other party was still completely unharmed.

"Haven't you used it yet?!"

"No...they must have used some other means to block our attack."

As Yan Ming pondered, he rapidly observed the demon's surroundings with his eyes.

It was completely intact, without even the slightest scratch on its surface, while the ground around it was covered with marks from the friction of the light bullets.

A closer look at the demon's body reveals an unnatural distortion occurring around it...

"It looks like a mirage."

"What…?"

"That demon's ability is probably to manipulate the angle of light projection, making us mistakenly believe that we are attacking its true form. The one standing in front of us is just an illusion created by it through manipulating light."

Tsk…

He vaguely heard the demon's clicking tongue, indicating that the other party was annoyed by his words, which further confirmed Yan Ming's thoughts.

"Gates, you use this."

"This is... a Kiva watch face?"

What Yan Ming tossed over was a Kiva watch face, and Gates was still a little confused as to why this watch face was being used.

“Gates, the Bashar form of Kamen Rider Kiva has the power to lock onto the enemy’s true location. It can also see through clones and illusions.”

"Oh... Ah, that's right! That's exactly what I was going to say!"

"...Do you really know everything about the various knights?" Woz, standing to the side, was at a loss for words.

"If I use this, what should you use?"

"Never mind me, just use it."

While they were chatting, the dark demon attacked them again.

In an instant, a bright light burst forth in the sky, and beams of intense sunlight, like lightsabers, hurtled straight toward them.

Sure enough, this further confirmed Yan Ming's idea that this demon mainly used the power of light as its means of attack!

"hurry up!"

"I understand!"

After Gates and Yan Ming separated, they each took out different watch faces.

Gates's watch face is naturally Kiva.

As for Yan Ming... he received a brand new watch face.

The watch face features a gold and silver color scheme, with the time and space coordinates "2001" in the center.

"Kiva!"

"Agito!"

The two pressed the buttons on the watch face and put it on their waists.

In an instant, different armors appeared before them, and after turning their belts, they were all enveloped in their own radiance.

Gates was completely wrapped in blood-red chains. When the chains shattered, he was dressed in armor imbued with the power of the Demon Emperor.

Meanwhile, Yan Ming was enveloped in a layer of golden light, and the knight armor automatically attached itself to his body after he made the corresponding movements.

The power of light from a certain god instantly took hold of his entire body.

"Armor Time! Gabu! Kiva!"

"Armor Time! Agito!"

Gazing at the two figures before him, now enhanced by the power of armor, the demon wielding light once again unleashed a beam attack upon them.

This time, however, the two responded differently.

A fierce purple light flashed from Gates' body as he stood directly in front of Yan Ming, shielding him from the scorching beam of light.

With the power of Frankenstein's monster Dega, Geiz's defenses can be greatly enhanced.

Then, the crystal on Yan Ming's forehead flashed with a red light.

His spirit was instantly elevated, and he stepped into a state of extrasensory perception.

Ordinary senses are insufficient to detect the location of another person, however—

Using his extrasensory perception, Yan Ming instantly pinpointed the enemy's true location.

"Humph!"

He raised the Time Limit Sword, its tip wreathed in golden flames, instantly unleashing countless sword energies.

The spot that was about to be hit immediately began to twist and contort.

That was the true form of the demon.

It twisted its mouth again, forcefully blocking Yan Ming's slash, while simultaneously leaping up to dodge the remaining follow-up attacks.

"Now!"

Gates immediately used the power of the water monster Bashar to enhance it.

A deep green water gun appeared in his hand, and he aimed it at the space in front of him. The water-like ripples spread out in all directions in an instant.

He had complete control over everything in the space.

Naturally... this also includes the location of the enemy's true form.

Neither distorting light nor creating mirages can affect them in the slightest.

In an instant, countless penetrating water bullets shot directly towards the demon.

The black demon dodged the water bullets with incredible speed, but was once again pursued by the golden flame sword energy. After dodging the sword energy, the two had completely pinpointed his location.

"Finish Time! Kiva!"

"Finish Time! Agito!"

They each pressed a button on the watch face and turned their belts.

The power of a fatal blow was instantly poured into the weapon.

The two attacked in completely different ways: one fired a deep green, explosive water cannon, while the other came at lightning speed and slashed at them with fiery strikes.

"Wake Up Time Burst!"

"Ground Time Break!"

It was an attack from both sides.

The black demon frowned in displeasure. Under these circumstances, even if it manipulated light to create phantoms, it would be impossible to avoid these guys' attacks.

So--

"The only option left is to confront them head-on."

boom--!!!

Under the watchful eyes of Yan Ming and Gates, beautiful wings unfurled behind the demon.

Those were wings as beautiful as those of an angel: a pair of golden wings, a pair of fiery wings, and a pair of black feather wings.

Three pairs of wings... a total of six feathers.

Faced with Gates' water cannon, he instantly burned it with his Wings of Fire and unleashed a powerful burst of flames that repelled Gates.

Faced with Yan Ming's fiery slash, he once again blocked it with his Wings of Light, which instantly unleashed a destructive burst of multicolored light.

Yan Ming used his skills to block countless thousands and tens of thousands of beams of light.

"Time King!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Gates, who had gotten up from the ground, quickly switched to his most powerful watch face.

"Reve Hayate! Shippu!"

A deep blue light filled the entire space.

In his Swift Form, known as Resurrected Gates: Gale Mode, he instantly rushed towards the enemy with a speed surpassing even the shadows.

"Speed ​​Claw Mode!"

"Haaah—!!"

At first glance, it appears to be a simple attack, but it is actually complicated into thousands or even tens of thousands of attacks.

Even the winged demon was amazed.

It tried its best to resist, but was still hit directly by such a complicated and rapid attack, and was instantly sent flying.

Yan Ming turned around and knocked him back with a sword strike.

Unbeknownst to him, a watch containing the strongest power had been installed on his waist.

"Kamen Rider! Rider! Zi-O·Zi-O·Zi-OⅡ!"

The Demon King and the Savior.

Now that we have a clear understanding of the enemy's situation, there is no need to continue hiding our strength.

Gazing at the angelic being high above in the sky, Yan Ming swung his sword straight up and instantly pulled the trigger of the strongest ultimate sword.

"Knight's Slash!"

The deep purple sword energy pierced straight through the demon.

The demon's eyes widened, and it once again manipulated the light to rain down like arrows, barely managing to block the sword strike.

But Yan Ming and Gates' combined attack has only just begun.

While adjusting the hands on their facial watches, the two simultaneously activated their hand claws countless times.

"Combined Claw Slash!"

"Zi-O's strongest! Overlord Slash!"

Infused with iridescent power, more than 100,000 blue light spikes shot out instantly.

Under the demon's shocked gaze—

That ultimate combo technique, capable of annihilating everything in the world, instantly bombarded its front.

Volume 5 of A Certain Magical Index: Chapter 172 The Great Star Festival...?

Thump—!

The immense power generated by the two, if it were to crash into the city, would instantly destroy Academy City, which is equipped with various nuclear-resistant facilities. If it were to hit the sky, the structure of Earth's atmosphere would undergo changes that would be recorded in history.

But that still wasn't their full strength.

The jet-black demon raised its hands, using the wings behind it to enhance its power, trying its best to withstand their attacks.

'What...what's going on? This power—!!'

Although the demon itself was not incapable of completely negating these forces, it did not initially anticipate that the two individuals would be this powerful.
