Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

What flavor of drink would you like?

"You're really willing to spend money on this? I can buy it myself."

"Don't say that, I'll treat you."

Without giving Yan Ming a chance to answer, Misaka Mikoto simply bought a drink and handed it to him.

"But... remember to fight me properly next time!"

"You're still thinking about this? Let's talk about it when we have time."

Yan Ming shook his head and took the drink directly from Misaka Mikoto's hand.

—Bang!

In the very next instant.

The drink he had just held in his hand shattered into countless fragments, and the liquid inside burst out violently.

Everyone present was shocked, but Yan Ming managed to dodge the splashed beverage in time.

At the same time, he looked in the distance.

There, at this moment, stood a figure dressed in black and orange.

Its body was further marked with some strange black lettering.

"Ghost!"

Volume 5 of A Certain Magical Index: Chapter 189 The Second Most Powerful Level User in Academy City…

The sudden burst of brilliance exploded.

In an instant, Yan Ming and Woz flew backward.

Boom—!!

The two of them were violently impacted, and Misaka Mikoto only reacted a beat later.

However, she reacted quickly and immediately used her abilities.

Without saying much, a flash of electricity struck, and the iron sand from the ground was drawn out, instantly forming a thick wall of iron sand in front of her, Saten Ruiko, and Uiharu Kazari.

The black iron sand formed a sturdy fortress, completely resisting all storms that came directly at them.

All of this was like a flame, completely igniting the situation on the ground.

"Monster!"

"It's a monster! Run, run!"

"It looks like there are other ability users dealing with it... We need to call the security guards quickly!"

"We need to call the disciplinary committee member quickly!"

People panicked and fled in all directions.

Yan Ming and Woz landed quickly on the ground and then looked at each other.

Then they looked directly at Misaka Mikoto, who was not far away.

"Are you OK?"

"It's okay... but what exactly is this thing? Where did it come from?!"

"You shouldn't concern yourself with that kind of thing."

As Yan Ming spoke, he looked at the shadow in front of him.

The black hooded clothing, with orange inner armor, had a texture reminiscent of biological skin.

There is no doubt that this is neither a product of Academy City nor a creature that comes from the magical world.

Both Woz and Yan Ming knew very well who the newcomer was.

"Ghost the Outcast..."

"Was this Swartz's doing again?"

"It's hard to say, my Demon King. Anyway, since that thing has appeared here..."

After a thorough search, the alien Ghost's dark eyes locked onto it.

It locked itself onto Yan Ming's body.

"Hmph, it seems they really are after me."

As expected, Yan Ming stood up and took out the driver.

"Woz, help evacuate the crowd and ensure the safety of everyone else."

"As you command, my Demon King."

Yan Ming approached the strange man in front of him without turning his head.

When this scene was witnessed by Misaka Mikoto and the others in the distance, Misaka Mikoto's words were fine, but Saten Ruiko and Uiharu Kazari's expressions immediately turned panicked.

"Misaka-san! Your friend... he seems to be getting close to that monster!"

"This is bad! That's very dangerous! No, shouldn't we stop him?!"

“That makes sense… Anyway, Haru, Saten-kun, you guys go and call Kuroko and the security guards over, and also disperse the crowd!”

"Eh...? Okay, okay..."

Although Uiharu Kazari and Saten Ruiko were still incredibly surprised by all of this, since Misaka Mikoto had said so, they did just that.

Moreover, since Haruharu Shiori is a member of the Disciplinary Committee, she should prioritize public safety in this situation.

However, when the two girls left, intending to disperse the crowd...

But they saw someone already rapidly evacuating the people around them.

"Go that way, and by the way, don't look back. What happens next is not for you to see."

"Okay...okay!"

Countless students followed his instructions and left the place.

Haru and Ruiko looked over together and found that it was the person who had been with Misaka Mikoto's friend before. She should be... one of Misaka Mikoto's friends, right?

They blinked, and the other person seemed to have noticed them too.

"What are you all standing there for? Didn't I tell you to leave here as soon as possible?"

"Um, I'm a disciplinary committee member, so I need to help disperse the crowd..."

"Leave this to me. Your presence here will only complicate matters."

Woz didn't care about their feelings and looked directly into the distance.

"It's fine if Chuchun Shiori of the 177th Disciplinary Committee wants to call your people over, but by then all you'll be left with is cleaning up the mess."

"Eh?"

Before Haru and Ruiko could react, Woz waved his hand and swung the scarf around his neck.

After wrapping the two girls' bodies in his scarf, half of it broke off and flew away like a kite, its destination the 177th branch of the Disciplinary Committee.

For the two girls, it was just a blink of an eye.

"Wait—what happened?!"

They really only blinked once, and then they found themselves suddenly standing at the entrance of Branch 177.

Both Chuchun and Leizi were dumbfounded.

"Was it... that gentleman who just did it?"

"Wow, that's amazing... Is he also an ability user? Could this effect be... a spatial ability user?"

"In short, we must get our business done first!"

Haru and Ruiko then went to complete their duties as disciplinary committee members.

So, the real battle should be left to the professionals.

boom--!!

As Yan Ming approached, the alien Ghost continuously attacked him with energy beams.

However, it was completely incapable of harming Yan Ming in the slightest.

Every time those light projectiles approach, their time stops, and Yan Ming then fires them back at the enemy in a reverse flow.

After several counterattacks, Yan Mingcai then put the driver on his waist.

Just like the previous Another Riders, Yan Ming had already figured out all the information about Another Ghost.

However, one cannot simply unleash one's strongest power just because one believes one knows the other's secrets. Before deciding the outcome, one must conduct probing actions.

"Zi-O! Agito!"

Turning the two dials and attaching them to his waist, Yan Ming once again ignored the opponent's attack and rapidly turned the driver.

"Transformation."

"Rider Time! Kamen Rider! Zi-O!"

"Armor Time! Agito!"

Golden armor enveloped Yan Ming's entire body, completely shielding him from all attacks.

Then, after a blue flash, Yan Ming, having successfully transformed, arrived directly in front of the alien Ghost at a speed exceeding that of a storm.

The combination of power and speed creates a golden impact that transcends the physical body.

Boom-!

The ghostly figure was struck in the abdomen with a single blow. The force was perfectly contained, and the aftershock did not reach far away, nor did it send the figure flying.

Yan Ming grabbed the body of the alien Ghost.

He knew that since it was an alternate Ghost, it naturally possessed the abilities of Kamen Rider Ghost, and could also transform its body into a spirit form to become immune to all physical attacks.

Therefore, he will not resort to such simple tactics.

In an instant, golden energy materialized into a gauntlet-like form, directly enveloping Yan Ming's hands.

Before the alien Ghost could even react, Yan Ming had already struck it with a punch.

First, he was struck hard in the abdomen, then his jaw was hooked up.

In an instant, the alien Ghost was knocked back several meters. It then tried to transform its body into a spirit, but was hit by Yan Ming, who was right behind it, with a flying kick.

No matter how the other party becomes a spirit, the golden light energy will completely penetrate into the spirit's interior, causing substantial damage.

In just one exchange, Yan Ming had already completely suppressed the alien Ghost by relying on his superb martial arts skills and powerful physical strength.

"Wow...that's amazing!"

Misaka Mikoto, who arrived shortly after, was supposed to fight alongside Yan Ming as his support, but she witnessed this scene firsthand.

No matter how much the alien Ghost resisted, Yan Ming was still able to suppress it with his powerful golden body.

If physical attacks are ineffective, then simply concentrate the light power within the armor into your fists and feet to launch an attack.

The only advantage of the Ghost alien is that it can easily fly to high altitudes, but that is not an advantage for Yan Ming at all.

In just a brief moment, Yan Ming took out his dark blue battle halberd.

With both hands gripping the key points of the halberd, he spun the Storm Halberd rapidly in place with a highly skilled posture and superb technique.

A strong wind then rose up.

Moreover, the wind was not a simple tornado, but a deep blue hurricane mixed with wind energy.

Even Misaka Mikoto, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but put her hand in front of her to shield herself.

After being swept to the very center of the eye of the storm by the powerful wind, Yan Ming raised his battle halberd and hurled it like a spear.

The explosion spread everywhere.

The dark blue energy blasted the alien Ghost's body to the ground, and Yan Ming seized the opportunity to pursue, attacking again with a flying kick.

The alien Ghost raised its hands one after another, instantly releasing countless spirits of great figures from its body.

"What is that... a ghost?"
