Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

The orange light blade, just as it was about to tear the enemy's body apart, was directly neutralized by the protruding ice layer.

No... Earth's ice surface shouldn't be able to withstand the resurrected beings' fierce attacks.

It was the enormous figure, encased in ice, that slowly rose and lifted Lamer's entire body, that accomplished this…

"This, this guy!"

Upon witnessing such a horrifying scene, all three were shocked.

Woz immediately released three teleportation portals, and at the same time, he sent Gates' Time Demon to a distance. The three of them then arrived at an iceberg several hundred meters away.

The area where they originally lived has almost entirely turned into the sea.

But what is that ominous thing floating on the ocean?

Weapons of war.

Like an animal, it has a huge body constructed with three basic colors: red, blue, and black. Its eyes are filled with golden flames, and its entire body is covered with some kind of strange golden incantation.

The ultimate weapon for the war of civilizations: Andromeda.

The monster, whose form was named after the constellation Andromeda, officially descended upon the planet Earth.

That is…

It is over fifty meters long.

Lamer stood unharmed atop the monster, his mouth slowly turning like fingers, his overall posture exuding an aura of absolute dread.

"Is that what they call... Andromeda?"

And that ultimate weapon of war.

A terrifying power, capable of destroying everything, locked onto the three Kamen Riders.

Volume 6, Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Chapter 259 The Incomplete Weapon of War

First of all.

Like a ferocious beast, the weapon of war opened its eyes and flashed a red light directly towards the three of them.

Just from that, the three of them immediately felt a terrifying tremor as if the entire earth was shaking.

"This is bad, run!"

Woz noticed it almost instantly.

He unleashed three spatial portals from beneath their feet, and then, the moment the portals were formed, the ground beneath their feet collapsed.

The entire ice surface shattered completely.

It wasn't just a matter of a few hundred meters or a few thousand meters; it was an ice surface equivalent to... an entire island.

The cracks continued to extend from the ice surface. Fortunately, this ice surface was only the size of an island. If it were not separated from the rest of Antarctica, the entire continent would probably have been swallowed up by these cracks.

Woz transported the three of them directly to the iceberg not far away.

Watching the island they had been standing on instantly crumble into ice and plunge into the sea was a feeling that was hard to describe.

"Don't let your guard down! That guy's chasing us again!"

The enormous shadow enveloped the three of them.

Fifty meters long, this weapon of war resembled a ferocious beast. It locked its merciless eyes on the three of them and opened its eerie, infinitely large mouth.

Missiles burst out of its mouth.

At first glance, those missiles looked no different from ordinary military missiles on Earth, but instinct told the three that it was not that simple.

"Woz!"

Gates quickly responded, while Woz immediately raised his hand and manipulated the black hole power he possessed.

The invisible waves continuously crushed all those missiles.

However, the instant these missiles were crushed, puffs of hazy, iridescent mist continuously spewed out from them.

"What is that?!"

The moment Woz saw those things, he immediately tried to suppress them with the gravity of the black hole, but—it had no effect at all.

The colorful mist ejected from the missile instantly transformed into a tangible tidal wave, engulfing the three of them in one gulp.

Boom! Explosions continued to erupt from the iceberg.

The entire iceberg shattered with a thud, and the shockwaves spread in all directions, causing Antarctica to tremble violently.

Most of the ice on the Earth's crust showed tiny cracks, and the cloud shadows in the Antarctic sky were also affected, slowly dissipating.

Just then, three spatial portals opened again from high above.

"Haaah—!!"

The figures of Gates and his two companions flew out from within.

They unleashed their full power, utilizing weapons and energy to launch a direct attack on Andromeda before them!

BOOM—!!

The sudden sound spread outwards across the entire Antarctic continent once again, seemingly canceling out the series of shockwaves that had been generated earlier.

By manipulating gravity, Wozniak created a pressure comparable to that of a black hole that continuously squeezed this weapon of war from both above and below.

Dian Si manipulates countless nanomechanical locusts, attempting to hack into the enemy's electronic core from the inside with atomic-level corrosive power.

Gates, on the other hand, relied solely on brute force to suppress them.

Time and space, both forces are compressed and released. The force of using the chainsaw to chop at the opponent's thick armor will actually increase his output.

None of the three held back; they all used their utmost power to try and suppress the ultimate weapon before them.

"...It's simply not good enough!"

In that instant of unbelievable silence, Ramer's voice brought them to a sudden halt.

boom----

The attack had no effect.

The silver nano-locust robots were all destroyed. The gravitational field, comparable to a black hole, was neutralized by an energy field of equal magnitude. Gates' attack, which was released with pure force, was instead mostly neutralized by the unknown coating on the armor.

An invisible wave exploded outwards, instantly blowing all three of them away.

"Too weak, too weak! The power of Andromeda is beyond the imagination of you bunch of trash. With it, I have destroyed countless civilizations in the universe. How could you possibly do anything to it with your individual strength alone!"

Lamer stood atop Andromeda and declared emphatically.

"It's so noisy!!"

As Gates was being knocked away, he casually threw an orange light blade into the air.

Clang—! The light blade struck towards Ramer, but was blocked by a barrier with colorful fluctuations.

Even the resurrected one's fierce and powerful attack could not break through the power fluctuations caused by unknown principles.

Moreover, it's not just that the protective shield possesses such powerful strength... Andromeda's own armor thickness has reached a level that even Gates' full-force attack would find difficult to break through.

How could they have gotten this bad after just a few exchanges?

If Gates and his two companions hadn't stopped them, their attacks alone would have been enough to raze Antarctica to the ground countless times in an instant.

But then again...

"Hey... that guy doesn't seem as big as I initially thought."

"What did you say?"

After the three landed safely, Dian Si's words immediately drew the attention of the other two.

"That thing called Andromeda, when I first saw it, it was an exaggeratedly large size, almost like the moon..."

"You mean, this thing isn't at its strongest yet...?!"

"This matches my guess. If the demon's war weapons were this powerful from the beginning, why did he wait until now to use them? Wouldn't it have been better to launch an attack and destroy this planet long ago?"

In other words, the power of this weapon of war has been somewhat diminished.

If it were allowed to return to its peak condition, it would become even more terrifying... so we can only defeat it now.

Meanwhile, Ramer on the other side also realized that something was wrong.

"Tsk... Is this level of effort really not enough?"

Currently, although Andromeda possesses an extraordinary level of strength, she is still far from reaching her peak energy level.

While destroying a planet is certainly not a problem, it will still take a little time. If Andromeda were at his peak, not only planets, but all celestial bodies in the universe would be no match for him.

That being said, with her current strength, she is already far more than capable of suppressing these Kamen Riders, right?

"Humph!"

Lamer raised his hand and turned Andromeda's direction to the other side.

"Oh no... what is that guy trying to do?!"

Dian Si immediately noticed Andromeda's unusual behavior.

It stopped attacking the three people and instead aimed at the ice on the other side.

Above that ice layer are the bases of countless scientific researchers.

"That guy wants to—!"

"That's right... You are such kind Kamen Riders, heroes of justice, you certainly wouldn't just sit idly by, would you?"

boom!!

As Andromeda's eyes flashed red, an invisible explosive force once again shattered a patch of ice.

This time, they took the opportunity to destroy one-third of Antarctica.

It wasn't an attack like a tidal wave with a specific sequence, but rather a phenomenon like the entire ground being subjected to a powerful impact on an average scale.

The ice surface shattered completely, and countless streams of seawater gushed out from beneath the ice layer hundreds of meters deep. Almost instantly, all the buildings belonging to the research team were lifted into the air.

But a burst of blue light stopped it all from happening.

"Speed Time!"

"Re·Re·Re! Re·Re·Re!"

"Reve Hayate! Shippu!"

His azure figure, as swift as lightning, leaped into the air and flew towards the houses with incredible speed.

Before people even realized what was happening, they had already been taken to a nearby mountain peak.

"Hey, what happened?!"

"I don't know, I only remember seeing a huge shadow just now..."

"Could it be something emerging from the iceberg—wait, what?!"

While the members of the research team were still confused, a huge teleportation portal had already transported them all to the nearest city.

"That was handled very well."

Just as the group was focused on rescuing the expedition team members—
