Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

That sound came from beneath Yan Ming's feet... the sound of his power gradually shattering.

"Oh no...!"

From Gates' perspective, this was a sign that Yan Ming's power was gradually becoming insufficient.

"That guy's power alone is definitely not enough! That's enough to destroy a planet... how can we possibly stop him!"

Although Gates wanted to trust Yan Ming, Andromeda's strength was too great, which made him extremely anxious.

"Mr. Gates".

"What…?"

"Excuse my bluntness, but your judgment seems to be flawed."

Wozniak's words startled Gates slightly, and then—

He noticed something unusual.

That was the phenomenon occurring beneath Yan Ming's feet... the power emanating from the three of them seemed to be gradually changing.

It gradually deteriorated in a more exaggerated way.

"What—what's going on?!"

Initially, it was indeed Yan Ming who was suppressed.

But as time went by, the power gathering beneath his feet seemed to grow stronger and stronger.

bang——

Then, accompanied by a crisp sound, the very tip of the beam of light emitted by Andromeda was crushed by Yan Ming's kick.

It is even continuing to crush the remaining power.

"That guy... what ability did he use to become stronger? Was it the Overload ability of Zi-O II? Or my ability to compress spacetime in Revive Geiz: Fierce Form?"

"Neither, Geiz-kun. The power used by my Demon King comes entirely from the effects of Zi-O's own abilities in the third stage."

It wasn't just about relying on the unique abilities of the three knights to fight.

If you look closely, you can see that triangular shapes seem to appear around Yan Ming's body.

Purple, yellow, and green.

Three figures in different hues slowly appeared in mid-air, forming a triangle around Yan Ming, and connecting the three with a cyclical line of color.

Each time the triangular color line completes a full cycle, Yan Ming's power increases accordingly.

But now... his output has far exceeded the scope of being able to destroy a planet.

Boom! The surface of the moon was instantly shaken.

Moreover, the immense power shattered both time and space, creating a black, seemingly empty space in mid-air.

"This is the condensation of three powers. Now, my Demon King has increased the power of three people at an exaggerated intensity."

"Exaggerated? How exaggerated can it be?"

"In my opinion, when my Demon King's Time-O third-stage form unleashes its ultimate attack, it can multiply the original power of the three elements together, multiply the power of the summoned clones together, and finally multiply the resulting dual power together."

When Wozniak uttered these words, Gates was completely dumbfounded.

"...What, what do you mean?"

"Simply put, the power he is releasing now is even stronger than the sum of the three of our original powers... And as far as I can see, my Demon King seems to be able to use the characteristics of the third-stage Zi-O to strengthen himself by multiplying the power of the three of us without any restraint."

That means—

"If my Demon King wishes, he can endlessly increase his power the moment he activates his ultimate attack... as long as there is enough time."

Gates was completely stunned.

Judging from Yan Ming's situation, the moment he transformed into Time King III and activated his ultimate attack, he was able to at least withstand Andromeda's initial planet-destroying energy.

On this basis, he can still make his power continue to grow stronger.

You can still get stronger after that...

Given enough time, the power of three portions will increase exponentially... without end.

Unlimited enhancement of their own power… In reality, both Yan Ming and Gates could theoretically unleash power related to infinity, but—

No one expected that Yan Ming could manifest the effect of infinite power in such a way.

After regaining his senses, he had already increased his power to a terrifying level.

Click! Click, click, click—

After an even crisper sound, his killing power had been strengthened to an even more formidable level than before.

From a distance.

That was...like a meteor continuously shattering rays of light that were also traveling in a straight line.

Yan Ming concentrated all his power into his right foot and slammed forward with overwhelming force, arriving directly in front of Andromeda in one breath.

The enormous machine raised its hands in a panic, attempting to block Yan Ming's attack with its massive arms.

But it was all in vain.

BOOM! The enormous arm was pulverized in one swift motion, as if it were a piece of cardboard being torn apart.

"It's about to hit!"

Now, the distance between Yan Ming and Andromeda is only a little over a hundred meters.

Yan Ming's attack was far more powerful than Andromeda's attack, which had been destroyed.

Andromeda's thick armor could no longer withstand Yan Ming's attacks.

Once this blow lands, the outcome will be decided.

Clang—!

The eerie sound shattered Gates and Woz's thoughts.

Because that powerful strike... failed to shatter the opponent.

"how is this possible!"

"It could shatter even the toughest arm armor, so why was it blocked?!"

The two turned their attention to Yan Ming and finally got a clear view of the battlefield.

The kick that blocked Yan Ming's attack... was located at the very center of Andromeda.

It was like a core, enveloped in a deep green glow.

Although Yan Ming's kick had been strengthened to a very high level, he still could not advance any further. It was like being pierced by a blade of steel, leaving only a few marks at most.

Is that core harder than all the armor on its body?

Boom! Yan Ming was hit by a tremendous force and his body was blasted away.

Andromeda's core then unleashed a shockwave, sending Yan Ming flying far away.

Although it's said to be far away, it's actually only a few dozen kilometers away.

Relying on its own strength, it hovered in mid-air and looked ahead. The enormous war machine was still left on the distant moon.

However, after the attack, the entire moon is now riddled with cracks.

Earth is not far away. In fact, the moon has been shattered beyond recognition. However, Yan Ming's abilities still allow him to bring back the damaged celestial body.

But if people on Earth were also swept up in it... then the meaning would be completely different.

Even if Yan Ming manages to rescue them, Andromeda will still remain on Earth, and even if Earth's timeline is rewound countless times, it will still be destroyed.

Therefore, Yan Ming had to analyze the actual situation.

Buzz—! A layer of dark purple light appeared on his body, a power known as the End of the Galaxy.

"…I see."

Woz's Galactic Final Form's power comes from the power of the galaxy, which means he can also uncover the true nature of most cosmic forces.

Now, Yan Ming has also figured out the energy intensity inside Andromeda's core.

"The energy level of that core has exceeded the overall level of a star."

"Wh-what?"

"Ordinary attacks are no longer effective against it; even destroying one or two planets wouldn't stop it."

Using the power of the end of the galaxy to create a simulated universe, it can easily release energy beyond the level of a star... but that is not real power.

Ultimately, it can only be used within the simulated universe, which is still very different from the power of a real star.

but--

If it were Yan Ming, he could unleash this level of power.

"Hey...didn't you overload yourself to that level once before using the power of Zi-O II? But didn't that have a huge impact on your body and mind?!"

"That's all in the past."

Now, what Yan Ming said was exactly what Gates said when Wozniacki thought he could still defeat him as before.

In Yan Ming, Gates saw... a microcosm of his own past.

It embodies the resolve to never yield, and the mindset to use power without hesitation, even if it means exhausting one's body.

"Time King... Yanming".

At that moment, Gates's gaze towards Yan Ming also changed.

…That was exactly the same look she gave Tokiwa Sougo back then.

"I believe in you, so you absolutely cannot lose. Fight with all your might!"

Yan Ming, who had combined the power of the three, nodded deeply.

Then... he reached for the watch face on his waist.

"Zi-O! Geiz! Woz!"

The three knights' clones instantly materialized around them.

Andromeda, who was in the distance, also noticed Yan Ming's actions and seemed to be planning to press her advantage.

But Yan Ming would no longer give it any more chances.

A massive beam of light swept in, but in that instant, three figures rushed out.

Bang—!! The deep green light was instantly blocked by the three clones.

It's impossible to stop them with just clones... but what Yan Ming needs is to buy time.

He then placed his hand on the watch face at his waist.

"Finish Time!"

"Zi-O! Geiz! Woz!"

Three-dimensional characters in three different colors appeared all over his body, and Yan Ming naturally assumed a kicking stance.

boom!!!

The three clones were instantly shattered.

But the power that Yan Ming needed has already been gathered.

"Trinity Time Break!"

"Burst!"

"Explosion!"

The distant star system was thus shaken.

The celestial body called the Moon could no longer withstand this upheaval and instantly turned into countless fragments.

But Yan Ming still didn't stop what he was doing at his feet.

With extreme force, continuously increase the power and keep blasting it forward.

The beam of light fired by Andromeda was continuously crushed, and Yan Ming's kick once again reached the core of it.
