Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

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

From the dust, several powerful slashes, amplified many times over, suddenly attacked.

The aftershocks of each strike could easily shatter countless mountains.

Such an exaggeratedly powerful attack, when it bombarded Andromeda's armor... failed to even break through the most basic defenses.

Or rather, there was a layer of something similar to telekinesis that forcibly blocked all of Yan Ming's attacks.

The next instant, Andromeda opened her eyes wide again, her blood-red pupils meeting Yan Ming's eyes directly.

At that moment, he saw a very ominous future.

Like telekinesis, this power completely disregarded the concept of inside and outside, releasing unprecedented pressure evenly from all parts of Yan Ming's body to his exterior!

Bang! His body shattered instantly, like scales.

Upon witnessing this scene, Lamer immediately revealed a delighted smile, but he quickly suppressed it.

It can't be that easy...

If that guy could really be killed so easily—

Whoosh—a gust of wind rushed past his ears, and Ramer's eyes widened instantly as he retreated as fast as he could.

Yan Ming had appeared beside him without him even noticing.

The figure that Andromeda just killed with her telekinesis... was merely a projection of something that had been read from the past.

'Trying to kill me in the opposite way—?!'

No, to be precise, Yan Ming should be eyeing the key in Lamer's possession—

That was the only thing that could control Andromeda's free movement; once it was destroyed... this powerful weapon of war would become completely uncontrollable.

Conversely, anyone with extraordinary mental strength can directly control the key once they obtain it.

"Don't try to succeed!"

Just as Yan Ming's sword was about to touch Lamer, the invisible force took effect once again.

Bang--!!

That was Andromeda's telekinetic power.

"...Tsk."

Yan Ming rarely spoke out in displeasure, while Lamer quickly retreated and leaped onto Andromeda's head in one breath.

It seems that even holding the key in your hand grants you that thing's protection...

"That thing can disrupt the continuity of time and space, and even the existing laws of physics."

To achieve our goal, we must continue fighting.

Lamer stood atop this weapon of war, cold sweat slowly dripping down his face, yet he felt fortunate about it.

"Ha... Try and kill me! Come on then!!"

Andromeda's mouth then opened, instantly spewing out countless missiles.

Since time is frozen, destroying anything will not have a significant impact on the surrounding environment.

But at the same time... that also means that people who were originally unable to move will also be affected.

For example—Sakura Kyoko, who has remained in the same place until now.

Without hesitation, Yan Ming took out the Decade driving watch and instantly appeared beside the girl.

The missiles that were being fired continued to follow him.

"If you want to blow it up, then come on."

After sending Sakura Kyoko to a distant place through the Aurora Veil, Yan Ming allowed the missiles to attack him.

However, just before he was about to be blown up, he quickly used the Aurora Veil's ability to teleport away.

The only people affected by the explosion, besides the church they were standing in, were those three.

"Huh...?!"

Fortunately, Swartz quickly regained his senses and, relying on the power of the Time Kings, managed to break free from the time-stopping restraints imposed on him.

But just as he came to his senses, he saw a sky full of missiles hurtling towards him.

"What's going on?!"

Swartz was startled and quickly grabbed the still immobile Ur and Aura, and fled the area.

Missiles bombarded all directions, causing unimaginable damage to the entire forest.

At that moment, Lamer heard a familiar voice from behind him.

"The ultimate Finish Time!"

"here we go again?"

But when Lamer turned around, he didn't see anyone at all.

"King Giri Giri Slash!"

Golden slashes came relentlessly from all directions.

It was no longer an attack in a straight line, but rather like a long whip, striking in a very strange and curved manner.

"I've already said it, useless is useless. Can't you understand?!"

Bang!! Just as Ramer said, no matter how hard Yan Ming tried, he could not break through Andromeda's powerful defense.

An invisible telekinetic force blocked all of Yan Ming's attacks, but—

Yan Ming's goal was never to defeat this so-called Andromeda through his own attacks.

"What…?"

It was only then that Lamer noticed something was wrong with his surroundings.

Those light blades... all of them extended from one portal after another.

First, the reason why these light blades become so delicate, like whips, is entirely because the things that make up these light blades are pure light particles, so they can be changed in any form at will.

What about these portals?

Lamer knew this; in fact, he was quite familiar with these portal-like techniques.

Could it be...?

He finally realized something.

From the very beginning, the storyteller who had been loyal to Yan Ming would never have allowed him to face such a level of danger alone.

"Ultra Galaxy Explore!"

A massive portal instantly appeared above Andromeda's head.

That's right... Yan Ming's power was simply insufficient to defeat Andromeda.

But he could transform the weapon into a whip without using his own hands, utilizing the properties of photonization... to wrap around Andromeda from the outermost edge.

However, this alone is not enough to move it; a person who can truly unleash powerful energy is needed to do it.

At the same time, there also needs to be an ability to open portals directly to the deepest parts of the universe...

So who exactly are these people who meet both of these criteria?

"Could it be?!"

And so, Lamer finally found out.

Everything was just Yan Ming's plan.

When he looked down at the ground again... Yan Ming, Wozniak, Gates.

All three of them were standing there.

"Since I can't beat you by fighting head-on."

Holding his strongest time-limit sword high, Yan Ming, with the assistance of Woz and Gates, swung the hilt of the sword.

The entire Andromeda was dragged directly into that enormous portal.

"Then I'll send you to a place where you can never come back."

Volume 6, Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Chapter 267 is not over yet...?

Everything... is based on Yan Ming's tactics.

Since Andromeda's strength has reached a level that even they together would find difficult to contend with, then why bother to risk their lives and expend their energy fighting it?

It doesn't mean we should give up on dealing with it and completely give up.

Rather, it means that since there's no way to defeat it head-on with sheer force, why not consider some other clever methods?

Just like the demon named Phoenix that I once encountered, although I cannot completely kill you, I still have ways to deal with you.

This time, however, Yan Ming alone cannot solve the problem.

First of all... the power that is most needed is not Yan Ming, but Woz.

Using the power of the galaxy in its final form, Woz can open all sorts of portals at will, sending anything into the depths of the universe.

However, this power alone is not enough to deal with Andromeda, because the latter also possesses the power to destroy space to a certain extent.

At this time, what is needed is Yan Ming and Gates.

Yan Ming was responsible for providing suppression in terms of time, while Gates provided suppression in terms of power through his fierce form.

After stopping Andromeda's time and putting it in an infinite reversal state, keeping him in a state that was about an instant ago no matter what, Woz opens a door to the depths of the universe, and Gates takes action, finally throwing Andromeda directly into this door.

To accomplish all this, we first need to create an extreme situation.

It is essential to prevent Ramer from noticing anything amiss, making him believe that Yan Ming is genuinely fighting him because "the plan failed." At the same time, it is crucial to make the other party fully reveal Andromeda's true nature.

After all the conditions are met, Woz and Gates, who have been lying in ambush, will strike together with him at the right time.

That's all.

And now... is the time for them to prepare to accept the results!

"Haaaaaah—!!!"

Gates unleashed tremendous power, continuously compressing time and space, and with such immense force, slammed Andromeda straight into the portal.

"Gurgle—!"

Lamer, struggling against the urge, was forced to get up from Andromeda's back.

"These guys...do they think they can get rid of Andromeda just like that?!"

"This alone is certainly not enough."

After confirming that Andromeda and Ramer had been pulled into the portal together, Woz raised his hand.

"But... what if we add tens of thousands of black holes in the universe to this?"

"What did you say—"

Then, because it was in a vacuum, the sound could no longer reach people's ears.

Even more terrifying, Lamer directly felt an unforgettable and terrifying sense of oppression.

That force spread mercilessly in all directions, and even with the protection of Andromeda's psychic field, he was still suppressed by it.

Could it be...?!

"Gravity... Is this the very center of a black hole? No, that's not right—!"

It's not just a black hole.

Enveloping all around... is a cluster of over ten thousand black holes.

The dark region deep in the universe, which is absolutely impossible for humans to observe using scientific means, is precisely the cosmic region that Woz searched out using the power of the galaxy.

Even Andromeda, under the pressure of so many black holes, has become unable to move.

The powerful gravitational field constantly distorted everything around him. Although Ramer tried to stand up again, he was still overwhelmed by that immense force.

Without Andromeda's help, Lamer probably wouldn't even be able to withstand the gravity of a black hole.
