Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

She had just stood up.

An incredible stream of light instantly descended into his body.

"Huh—?!"

The body was shaking.

No… it’s the soul, even the souls are being pierced together.

The girl's pupils constricted instantly. She collapsed from exhaustion due to the excruciating pain, and what she felt next was a sensation that covered her entire body... a pain even more intense than being etched into her bones.

"Waaaaaahh ...

Something... is crawling out of my body!

Sizzle...

The Soul Gem on her arm kept cracking. She trembled as she covered the Soul Gem, only to see endless darkness inside.

"How...how is this possible...it was cleaned just recently!"

"At this point, it has nothing to do with the simple Seed of Grief anymore, Homura Akemi."

A calm yet familiar voice came from behind me.

She turned her head with difficulty to look behind her... and there it was, standing right in front of her.

"Chu...bi!"

Anger, hatred, murderous intent.

The girl, filled with a mix of emotions, glared at the other person, not even noticing that blood was flowing from her mouth and eyes due to the excruciating pain.

"If I were you, I wouldn't let myself accumulate more negative emotions, as that would only accelerate the breakdown."

"What...what did you do?!"

"Me? I didn't do anything. I just let you magical girls return to your most primitive state."

What…?

Kyubey's words were completely incomprehensible to Homura Akemi, and then she saw it.

In the sky, there are strange things that look down like eyes.

what is that?

"Our race originated from incubators from the depths of the universe... You should already know that, right?"

Kyubey walked slowly to Homura Akemi, and with his usual calm smile, continued speaking.

"That thing was created by our race many years ago to restrain you humans."

"machine…?"

"The original plan had been abandoned, but not long ago a group of visitors from another world came. After they communicated and compromised with us incubators, we decided to help them obtain a more powerful energy source in this universe... But now it seems that it is still too slow."

Homura Akemi felt that she had lost all feeling in her body.

"So we brought out this thing, originally a device used to control all young female humans who have been bound by contracts... that is, you magical girls."

"asshole…!!"

Homura Akemi wanted to continue using her ability, but realized it was pointless.

"Your source of power and desire is entirely dependent on our machines. Similarly, controlling the functions of your Soul Gems is not a problem... it's just that we can never control your emotions."

"But in any case, now is the time when we desperately need this kind of energy, so... I'm sorry, Homura Akemi."

That sentence was like a final judgment, showing no mercy.

"For us to have a greater and more prosperous universe in the future, let you young women of humanity make your contributions! Thank you!"

that moment.

The girl's heart sank into despair.

--boom!!

In that instant, a golden blade of light ripped through the sky, instantly shattering the so-called machine device used to control the magical girl.

"King Giri Giri Slash!"

The overwhelming blow severed the 100,000-meter-long machine from its roots.

Then, the silver-purple figure landed directly.

With unprecedented rage, he faced the cuckoo before him.

"Oh, you've finally arrived, human."

Volume 6, Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Chapter 269 Where do you think you can be so arrogant?

They finally arrived in time.

After considering the possibility of something happening to Homura Akemi, Yan Ming quickly used the Aurora Veil ability to send himself to the school.

As expected, reality proved otherwise.

Right now... Kyubey is torturing Homura Akemi using the same methods he used on Kyoko Sakura.

Can we really tolerate these repeated acts that seem to challenge our bottom line any longer?

"Ugh..."

Homura Akemi, who was lying on the ground, felt uncomfortable all over, but she recovered in the next instant.

Yan Ming restored her body and soul.

However, despite this... the painful memories of transforming from a magical girl into a witch have not been erased. The lingering pain and the karmic entanglement have left Homura Akemi with no strength to stand up now.

"That ability is really troublesome for us."

A nauseating sound, the sound of Cupid, came from behind again.

“Even though our Incubator race has developed some very advanced technologies in the universe, such as the ability to manipulate time and space, after research, no technology can replicate your unique control over spacetime… How did you do it? You’re just a human being.”

ignore.

Yan Ming completely ignored what Kyubey said. He turned around, squatted down, and slowly lifted Homura Akemi's body.

"Are you okay?"

"…Um…"

Although the girl clearly couldn't be alright, she still forced a show of being able to continue.

"Xiaoyuan... I still have to protect her..."

"Leave the child's matter to me. You can go and rest now."

"How could you do this... all by yourself...?"

This statement was not out of distrust of Yan Ming... but rather a piece of advice that Homura Akemi gave to Yan Ming after considering the situation ahead.

Demons, time-jackers, and all sorts of other creatures have all come together, along with this group of guys called the Incubators. With these three forces joining forces, we now have an additional condition: protecting the other girls.

"Not just one person."

"Eh...?"

“I have trustworthy people helping me, so I don’t need to be afraid.”

The girl's eyes widened involuntarily, and her heart trembled as if she had been touched.

"A trustworthy person...who are you referring to...?"

"Gates, Wozniak, and you who are desperately trying to protect Madoka—with your help, I was able to win."

"I see...is that so."

For some reason, Homura Akemi's emotions seemed to have cooled down a little, but it wasn't very obvious.

Yan Ming pressed the button on the Decade control dial again, unfolding an aurora curtain beneath the girl and sending her to a safe area.

"Be careful…"

Her voice reached him in the last moment before she left.

Yan Ming also clenched his fists.

"Well, after giving you so much time, have you two finally finished discussing things related to humans?"

Bang——! !

No sooner had Cupid finished speaking than his body was instantly sliced ​​into countless pieces.

Yan Ming raised his knife and brought it down, but a pure white shadow reappeared behind him once again.

“You can’t stop all of this, Shilun Yanming. Physical losses are no problem at all for a race like ours.”

"I think so too."

"So what? In that case, you should also understand that your damage to our equipment is a completely meaningless act."

The Cupids blinked.

"Those machines are just mass production devices; we can make as many as we want. The important thing is that we control the Soul Gems of all the magical girls."

"They were able to gain such great power thanks to our help. Although human emotions are probably beyond our control, magical girls are completely under our control."

"As long as we control the gem that acts as a soul limiter, we can control everything inside the gem."

"However, it is not impossible to do so."

Yan Ming interrupted Qiu Bi.

He slowly raised his head, and there was no trace of his former vitality left in his body.

"As long as we can completely eliminate you all, I think we don't need to consider anything else, right?"

“Theoretically speaking, that is indeed the case… Although we are much stronger than you who are bound by the conventional laws of physics, we are still bound by the concept of the laws of physics. If we are all eliminated, theoretically, this series of plans can indeed be greatly stopped.”

When they said these things, the Kyubeys were completely uninhibited.

"But you can't do it."

“That’s right, that’s right, you can’t do it. Whether from a mental or physical perspective, you can’t destroy all of us, much less annihilate the Incubators’ civilization.”

"You can't do this with your time alone, you should know that, right?"

"The original methods of torture are meaningless to us, since all we need to do is sever the connection with the individual you killed, right?"

"Give up, sacrifice a little of humanity's self in exchange for the greater self of the entire universe, and even all worlds. Isn't that a very good thing?"

The words of the Cupids echoed in my ears like a bewitching spell.

But Yan Ming grasped the key point in those words.

"...all the worlds?"

"Ah, it seems you don't know this yet. Well then, I'll tell you."

The incubators don't lie, so naturally there are questions and answers.

"The reason we incubators have joined forces with those from other worlds is because that man called the Demon promised us that if we help them in this world, we can expand into more worldviews."

"This is not just a simple theory like parallel worlds. Even if we look at our universe, even if parallel worlds are born, they are just related worlds that are born one after another based on that world. Simply put, it's like a book. No matter how many pages there are, it's still just the content of one book."

"But the multiverse theory is completely different. If what that demon said is true, it means that outside of our world, there exist many more 'books' with entirely different contents! You should understand what I mean, right?"

Cupid wanted to extend his reach beyond this world.

It wants to venture into the worlds it has been to before, and also into the worlds it has never been to before.

…These races called Incubators are no longer limited to the actions of a mere individual worldview.

It claims to be an emotionless being, but in the end it still succumbs to so-called desires, only thinking about expanding the universe territory it can control?

It's not enough for them to wreak havoc on people in one world; they even want to expand to other places...

Really.

Yan Ming... The human being watched by Qiu Bi slowly raised his head and looked directly at the being in front of him.

boom----!!!

An unprecedented aura erupted from that person.
