Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

Yan Ming suddenly noticed two people in the group opposite Tokiwadai Middle School on the large screen above him.

A blond guy in sunglasses and a high school student with spiky hair.

"Isn't that Tsuchimikado Motoharu and Kamijou Touma...?"

Why did these two people manage to infiltrate the team?

Not long after, the match began, and the teams from both schools started a fierce battle.

"Even if you were here, I wouldn't show any mercy!"

"Hey, wait a minute, you electric girl—!!"

Before Touma Kamijou could say anything, Misaka Mikoto, standing at the front of the line, began to shine brightly.

Extreme electric currents kept emanating from her body.

He flicked his hand and unleashed a bolt of electricity, a current of a billion volts, which struck Touma Kamijou. Touma panicked and frantically tried to neutralize it with his right hand.

Bang—!! A sharp sound of something cutting through the air came from all directions.

"Anyway, since you're here to be my opponent, then prepare to face the challenge!"

"This guy's too reckless, sir. He's yours now, meow~"

"What do you mean 'leave it to me'?! This guy is a level five esper, he could easily kill four people if he's not careful!!"

On the field, the young ladies from Tokiwadai Academy unleashed a series of powerful abilities, including storms, explosions, and attacks with unidentified light spheres, leaving the students from the opposing school severely battered.

The most powerful of them all is Misaka Mikoto.

She fired a series of lightning-strike spears, each one striking the ground and creating shockwaves that sent people flying.

But that's not the worst part.

After taking a game token out of his pocket, he flicked it with his fingertip, using the special effect of his ability to overheat and accelerate it, firing an orange beam of light at an odd angle in a straight line—

Railgun.

The brilliant strike, launching the game tokens at three times the speed of sound, disregarded the scale of the scene. The immense force instantly extended beyond fifty meters, igniting the lawn below and sending countless students flying in the aftershocks.

As the terrifying projectiles hurtled toward him, Touma Kamijou tightly closed his eyes to protect himself from the storm, ultimately resorting to using his right hand to barely defend himself.

Imagine Breaker ultimately dealt with the attack.

However, Misaka Mikoto took out even more tokens from her pocket and then targeted Kamijou Touma again.

"Wait! Wasn't this supposed to be a team competition? Why are they targeting me alone?!"

"No one else has a move that can nullify my abilities as easily as you do, so of course I have to aim at you first!!"

And so, poor Kamijou Touma was completely caught in a relentless battle of offense and defense, relentlessly pursued by Misaka Mikoto.

Although the scene looked dangerous, Yan Ming knew that they were just playing around and it wouldn't cause any real danger.

Another sound that stood out as unusually crisp against the surrounding environment.

Footsteps.

No one noticed the sound.

Only Yan Ming seemed to be drawn in, and immediately turned his gaze in that direction.

"Huh...?"

The people at the Daihasei Festival also noticed the unusual situation.

The narrator quickly turned the camera towards that person, and the image on the big screen instantly changed to a person slowly walking on the lawn.

No, the differences between people are enormous.

The figure, though dressed in normal clothes, walked slowly across the lawn, but his movements were unusually slow.

Her head was dripping with black hair, which was scattered everywhere.

It inevitably evokes images of monsters from zombie-themed genres.

"What's wrong with that person?"

On the field, students from Tokiwadai and another school looked at it, but the other remained unmoved.

Several female students from Tokiwadai blinked, and then, without a second thought, used their abilities to create several water or wind spheres.

"No matter who you are, take this!"

"Hey yo~!"

They each threw the ball at the person, which caused a slight ripple upon impact, but did not alter the person's trajectory.

then.

The person slowly raised their head.

A pair of blood-red, extremely ferocious eyes, golden horns, and an alien-shaped head.

Everything was presented to everyone.

"Chirp chi ...

"W-what? What is this thing?!"

Before the young ladies could react, the figure in front of them rushed towards them at an extreme speed.

It suddenly opened its mouth and used its sharp teeth to relentlessly tear at the necks of several people.

"Waaaaaaahh ...

"Stop... your hand... Chirp—?! Ee-ee?!"

Things have changed.

The bitten people got up from the ground, shaking their heads. Their heads, which were originally human, instantly transformed into heads that looked like those of the creature.

In a very short time, the number of monsters increased dramatically.

"What happened... what on earth happened?!"

The crowd erupted in chaos, with those who witnessed the scene shouting and yelling.

The person in charge of the commentary also turned around in shock, but at that moment—

The person recording with the handheld camera also turned their head from behind.

It was a distorted, bizarre face.

Just like those monsters below.

"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer, ahhhhhh!"

The commentator was immediately pinned down by the monsters, which roared and began attacking the audience and everyone on the field.

"Hey... Zi-O!"

Gates quickly looked at Yan Ming on the side, but at that moment Yan Ming leaped down from the audience seats in one breath.

In an instant, a wave of iridescent color enveloped the entire audience area, and the monsters that were causing chaos everywhere immediately stopped their actions.

"I'm leaving this place to you."

After saying this, Yan Ming flew directly onto the field and witnessed the entire situation.

The crowd in the stadium was constantly rioting.

Because the vast majority of them are people with special abilities, they can still put up some resistance, but this won't last long.

The monster with golden horns kept attacking them, and even when its body was burned, sprayed with water, and struck by lightning, it still couldn't stop their actions.

The monsters stubbornly endured all kinds of damage as they tore and bit through the crowd.

"What, what exactly happened?!"

Misaka Mikoto and Kamijou Touma are also trying their best to maintain the stalemate.

The third-ranked member of Academy City unleashed countless lightning spears, repelling many monsters, but ultimately failing to suppress them all.

At this moment, Touma Kamijou's right hand was completely useless.

Even if you punch the monsters, it won't hurt them. Instead, it will draw their attention to you.

The two stood back to back, completely cornered by the monsters.

"Get out of the way! I have no choice but to use the Railgun!"

"What...? Electric girls! So those guys were all humans in disguise!"

Kamijou Touma's words immediately caused Misaka Mikoto to stop in her tracks.

She is the third strongest electric-type esper in Academy City, and with her power, she can easily wipe out the monsters in front of her.

But what will the consequences be?

These monsters were transformed from the people here, and no one knows whether those people will return after they are all wiped out.

Influenced by these emotions, Misaka Mikoto hesitated on the spot.

Then, a monster seized the opportunity and attempted to bite at the back of her neck.

"Danger!"

Touma Kamijou gritted his teeth, trying his best to shield her from behind, and in that brief moment, the two of them were completely surrounded by countless monsters—

hum.

At that moment, all the monsters on the playground froze in place.

This naturally includes Misaka Mikoto.

"What…?"

When Touma Kamijou opened his eyes, he saw that everyone except himself was suspended in mid-air.

Then he saw this scene.

The monsters that had originally intended to attack them were now flowing back in bizarre ways, their biting motions and the fleeing crowds... everything was flowing backwards.

In less than a moment, everyone returned to normal.

However—before Touma could even react to what had happened…

The stadium gate was smashed open.

"what?"

At this moment, even Yan Ming, who was responsible for turning back everyone's time, was slightly surprised.

Before anyone knew it, the number of monsters pouring in from outside the gate far exceeded the number of monsters that had been in the playground before. Faced with this, Yan Ming immediately raised the control dial in his hand and reversed the time of all the monsters.

Sure enough, if time could be reversed, all these infected monsters could be turned back into humans.

however--

Even if time were reversed, the number of monsters in front of them would still continue to increase.

"Could it be... that there are more outside than I thought?"

Even though Yan Ming can manipulate time at will and turn those infected into monsters back into humans, their numbers already exceed the entire city. Even if the current visible population were reversed, the outside population would still be spreading the infection at an overwhelming rate.

The safest method is to reverse the timeline of the entire world, making everything go back to a day ago... This way, the outbreak will be completely eradicated.

But Yan Ming glanced at the boy behind him... the spiky-haired boy whose right hand possessed special power.

With him there, any attempt to reverse the flow of the entire world would be thwarted by his right hand.

The power of spacetime is terrifying. If there's even the slightest mistake, especially with someone like Touma Kamijou present—

At that time, it is very likely to trigger a spacetime conflict... which will create a terrifying thing like a black hole, capable of destroying the Milky Way or something.

He can't just act recklessly.

So... now we have to take another approach.

"Kamijo Touma!"

"Huh...? Yan Ming! So you really did do what happened just now?!"

"Now is not the time to talk about those kinds of things."
