Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

Woz reacted quickly, doing whatever Yan Ming told him to do immediately.

Woz stretched out his hands and, manipulating the power of the galaxy, three portals instantly appeared beneath the three of them, teleporting them back to their original apartment.

Before long, time, which had been frozen in place, naturally resumed its flow.

"...Huh?"

"Why are we outside? I think we were eating in a coffee shop just now..."

"What exactly happened? Why is everyone outside?"

The crowd completely lost all their previous memories, including Sayaka and Madoka, as well as Suwa Aoi.

"Senior Aoi, what's going on here...?"

"Huh? I don't remember us coming out like this."

Madoka and Sayaka looked around blankly, while Suwa Aoi was in the same state of confusion.

"How strange, why are we all standing outside this coffee shop?"

Sometimes, forgetting the past is the best choice for some people.

Therefore, those memories that shouldn't have been preserved have all disappeared into the long river of history along with the passage of time.

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

The portal transported the three of them directly back to the apartment.

Gates and Woz deactivated their transformations and helped Yan Ming place Dian Si in his bedroom.

"Why...why did this guy come to this world?"

"I don't know. We clearly reversed time for him, so all his mental and physical injuries should have been erased, but he still hasn't woken up."

Yan Ming let Dian Si lie down on the bed for a while, thinking he would first go and soak him in some water, but then—

"Let me try."

"...What are you going to do?"

Woz walked directly to the heir and gently pressed his hand against his forehead...

pat-

"Ouch! That hurts so much! Who was the bastard who flicked my head with so much force?!"

"See? I knew he hadn't woken up yet. It wasn't a problem with his injuries or anything. He was just too tired and fell asleep. My Demon King."

Although Yan Ming had completely healed him both mentally and physically, Dian Si was still very tired, so he probably subconsciously entered a state of physical hibernation.

Although the method of waking him up was a bit strange, he woke up anyway.

"Where is this...?"

"You're in my house."

"Huh...? Mr. Yan Ming? You... and Gates and Woz?! What are you all doing here?"

Dian Si first asked a series of questions, and then Yan Ming and the others took the opportunity to explain some basic information to him.

"This is the world where Yan Ming lives... Oh, I see."

"My problems are fine, the important thing is you. Why did you faint? And why did you come into this world?"

Yan Ming and Gates stood at the head of the bed, while Wozniak leaned against the wall, holding a book and watching him.

Recalling those memories, Dian Si couldn't help but frown.

"...Yes, I came into this world to warn you."

"Warning? Warning about what?"

Yan Ming immediately looked at him seriously.

And Dian Si did his best to tell everyone he knew.

"After saying goodbye to you, I went to some other worlds. Most of them were fine. After helping the people there with my knightly powers, I came to another world."

"But there was nothing in that world. There was no life, no civilization, just a universe where a dead star had survived... After I confirmed this, I was about to leave when... those demons attacked me."

"Demon...which demon? Do you remember their names?"

"I don't know. To be honest, what's really worth paying attention to isn't those so-called demons at all..."

Aren't those demons more noteworthy?

What do you mean by that...?

"Those guys... I later found out just how awful they were. The universe I live in wasn't originally such a desolate place."

At this point, not only anger appeared in Dian Si's eyes... but also a hint of fear.

"They used a very special weapon of war... The power of that weapon was enough to destroy any celestial body in the universe. Relying on it, the demons continued to slaughter various life forms in the universe, and eventually destroyed almost all the planets with life in that entire universe."

"On the planet I'm on, after the main star, which was like the sun in one of the star systems, was destroyed, a large amount of cosmic rays directly hit the planet, which no longer had any protective layer, causing all life on the entire planet to naturally become extinct."

If it weren't for Denji possessing the power of Kamen Rider, he probably wouldn't have survived. He would have been killed instantly by various gamma rays and radiation from the universe.

But this is not the point.

"...I encountered them. There are still many demons on my planet. After defeating them, I learned the whole truth, but it was too late...I couldn't stop that weapon of war from continuing to destroy that universe. That's when it found me, and then its power easily defeated me. At the last moment, I thought of coming to warn you, and that's how I ended up in this world..."

"...What is that weapon?"

"The weapon's name is Andromeda. I don't know what the name means, nor do I know what kind of power it has. I only know that when that thing appears, it can easily crush all my power with just a few attacks...!"

At least it can be confirmed that Kamen Rider Zero-One's full power at the time was insufficient to destroy that so-called weapon of war.

"I understand. You should get some rest."

Dian Si nodded. Although he had recovered from his injuries, Yan Ming still hoped that he could rest a little to ease the pain of this terrifying ordeal.

"You must be careful... Mr. Yan Ming, since those demons have such powerful weapons, they will definitely come for you!"

"Please rest assured, no matter what kind of weapons the enemy uses, my demon king, his loyal retainers, and I will devise a meticulous plan to counter them."

"That's absolutely right... Who are you going to call a retainer next time!"

After learning about those things from Dian Si, Yan Ming and the other two closed the bedroom door and returned to the living room.

What do you think?

The three of them sat around the table, and Gates looked at the two of them seriously.

"So what exactly did you do after you went out? How come you came back carrying that guy Dian Si after all this time?"

“I noticed something was wrong outside. The otherworldly Drive that you were fighting also fought me.”

"So Swartz and the others are still here, which means the demons are here too..."

I thought that once I resolved the Witch's Night, the troubles of this world would be over. But not only did I receive troublesome news from Kyubey, I also personally experienced this troublesome situation.

and…

"According to Dian Si, that so-called weapon of war is called Andromeda... which translates to Andromeda."

"…What’s wrong with you?"

When the name was mentioned, Yan Ming's face immediately showed a complicated expression, and Gates also looked at him with some surprise.

"During my battle with the Another Drive, I encountered a demon, and that guy's ability just happens to be the ability to wield the power of various constellations..."

"What…"

Does that mean that the so-called weapon of war has actually already arrived in this world?

If that's really the case—

"Power powerful enough to destroy all life in the universe...?"

If that's the case, then they'll be facing an enemy with that power next.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat heavy.

dong dong——

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Yan Ming glanced at the other two and indicated that he would go open the door.

"...It's you?"

The person who walked in was Homura Akemi.

She glanced briefly at the two people in the room, then pulled Yan Ming out directly.

"…Well."

Seeing this, both Gates and Wozniak looked at each other in bewilderment.

"They probably just went out to discuss something important... or something?"

"Do not judge our Demon King with your filthy thoughts, my retainers."

"Who are you calling a retainer? And how is this sordid? It's your heart that's filthy!"

"You're something else, you've even learned to talk back now? If you're not happy about it, then let's have a fight!"

"Who's afraid of who? I'd like to see whether the End of the Galaxy is more powerful or I, the Resurrected Gale, am more formidable!"

————————————————————

Completely ignoring the so-called epic battle inside the room, Yan Ming and Akemi Homura went straight to the corridor.

Yan Ming looked at Homura Akemi with a somewhat puzzled expression.

"...Didn't you tell me not to contact you anymore? Why are you coming to find me yourself?"

With an expression that suggested she didn't know what to say, Homura Akemi pulled out her phone, looking rather speechless.

The video recorded on the phone shows... when Yan Ming and the others were discovered by the crowd in the coffee shop, then Yan Ming stopped their time, and then rewound the timeline.

"Has this already been posted online?"

“I found it from nearby security cameras… Also, I’ve already hacked it for you, and these videos have all been deleted now.”

"But you still have it on your phone, right? Okay, now it's gone."

When Akemi Homura turned around and looked, she immediately discovered that all the videos on her phone had disappeared. It seemed that Yan Ming had even reverted the time on her phone to before she had transferred these videos.

Damn it... Why isn't my time manipulation ability as good as his? It's so unfair!

This was a secret thought that no one knew about Homura Akemi.

"Then why did you come to me?"

"Let me tell you... about Xiaoyuan and the others."

Volume 6, Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Chapter 242 The Time Jackers Team Up with the Incubators

Following Homura Akemi's suggestion, Yan Ming decided to have a talk with her.

Why were you with Xiaoyuan and the others back then?

"coincide."

"Was it just a coincidence...? Then who attacked her back then?"

"To be precise, it couldn't be considered a human being; it was a complete monster."

Akemi Homura looked at Yan Ming with some confusion.

"You...are very familiar with the things that attacked Madoka?"

"After I gained that power, I have been fighting against those things ever since."

"After obtaining that power? You only obtained it a few days ago, why would you say that..."

Suddenly, Homura Akemi realized the extraordinary time-manipulation ability that Yan Ming possessed, and seemed to be speechless.

Shi Lun Yan Ming's time-manipulation abilities are beyond his own comprehension, and their practicality far outweighs their effects.

Is it possible that shortly after he gained the power to transform, he traveled back and forth countless times?

The Shilun Yanming I'm seeing now is actually someone who has cycled back and forth countless times in the same timeframe. During this time, he has been fighting against the monsters that attack Xiaoyuan, constantly getting stronger, and constantly learning about them... Perhaps that's how it is?
