Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

The girl named Shubi stared blankly at the suddenly appearing young man with her eyes devoid of any spirit, and a strange, eerie blue light slowly emanated from them.

'…I see.'

The well-informed Woz recognized the other party's identity in an instant.

'That means this girl isn't human, but everyone else around her is completely human.'

It seems that my sudden action startled the other party.

Woz realized his mistake and then tried to keep his tone as gentle as possible.

"Please do not be afraid."

Woz slowly approached them, but the moment he took a step...

"Shubi!"

The moment Rick shouted, the girl named Shubi understood what he wanted her to do.

So, Shubi's eyes widened, and she raised her hand directly towards Woz.

boom--!!

Something was thrown to the ground, causing an instant explosion.

However, it wasn't a bomb or anything like that. At the moment of the explosion, it spewed out countless green wisps of smoke from inside, which seemed to be some kind of strange smoke bomb.

If an ordinary person were exposed to this kind of smoke, not only would they be tearing up, but they would probably also fall into shock within a short period of time.

Fortunately, Wozniak is not an ordinary person.

"Are these people really that afraid of me? Or have I gone too far?"

Woz thought to himself with a hint of helplessness, then walked out of the dust without a care.

However, after he came out, he didn't see anyone else.

This is a desert, yet there are no footprints on the ground indicating that anyone has left, as if they vanished in an instant.

In that case, could it be...?

"Spatial transfer?"

The only one capable of such a thing is definitely not one of the humans, so it can only be... that girl called Shubi.

"Judging from her appearance, she's not human, but I can't be sure what she really is... hmm?"

At that moment, the book in Woz's arms began to glow faintly.

He then opened the book and noticed the latest information that appeared on it.

"Mech race... Could she be one of that race?"

the other side.

After a battle, Yan Ming and Gates both came down to the ground.

"...It seems like we've gone a bit too far."

Looking at the warship wreckage scattered all over the ground, Yan Ming and Gates couldn't help but say this.

"But then again, is it really necessary to eliminate them all?"

“If we don’t take action, they will turn on innocent people sooner or later.”

No… In fact, even if it wasn’t directed at humans, just the kind of superior thinking that relies on one’s strength to bully the weak would have already earned Yan Ming’s place on his death list.

…He acted very decisively.

Gates, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but think this to himself after watching Yan Ming.

"Now that we've taken care of them all, what's next? What should we do?"

"It's very simple, just leave it to me."

With that, Yan Ming led Gates directly toward the wreckage of the warships.

Volume 7, No Game No Life ZERO: Chapter 292 The Strongest Person in This World

Then, the two walked towards the road ahead.

The road was filled with destroyed warships, and it seemed that no goblin species remained alive.

From this perspective, Yan Ming truly shows no mercy to those he has decided to eliminate...

With this thought flashing through his mind, Gates continued to follow behind Yan Ming.

With a whoosh, they rummaged through countless pieces and wreckage of warships along the roadside, and walked indifferently toward the deepest part of one of the warships.

This place is basically completely destroyed.

The original driver's cab was barely recognizable, and the electronic components were completely destroyed. There wasn't even a single goblin corpse to be seen around.

"So... what do you plan to do?"

After glancing at the various computer machines that had been damaged beyond repair, Gates turned to look at Yan Ming.

"These warships and their computers are just piles of scrap metal now. Does that mean we can't gather any intelligence at all?"

Yan Ming did not speak.

He casually snapped his fingers, and then—

The countless fragments around them began to regenerate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

They then overlapped and returned to the original shape of the warship.

"...Never mind what I said."

Gates awkwardly stepped aside, and Yan Ming stood directly in front of the warship.

hum-

He simply pressed a button on the warship, and a whole bunch of obscure and incomprehensible things were projected onto the screen.

It contains data and information composed of text, as well as a picture that looks like a world map.

Although the beings in this world all speak Japanese, the written language they use is completely different from Japanese.

"Hey...you can't possibly not understand what's written here, can you?"

"I really don't understand it."

However, Yan Ming didn't intend to just stand there like an idiot.

He snapped his fingers again, and then—

A new set of footsteps sounded from behind the two of them.

"What do you need me for, my Demon King?"

"Whoa—?!"

Startled by the sound coming from behind, Gates immediately turned around.

Then they saw Woz appear out of nowhere and kneel down behind Yan Ming.

"You bastard... you should have reminded me before we came out!"

“Being timid is your own problem, Gates. It’s not something I should be taking care of for you.”

"What did you say? You bastard!"

Ignoring Gates's ridiculous remarks, Wozniak walked directly to Yan Ming's side.

He also saw various data and information suspended in mid-air.

"Can you understand these characters?"

"Sure."

"Huh? You, when did you become able to understand this kind of writing system that I've never seen before?"

Gates stared at Woz in shock, but Woz didn't respond. He simply glanced at the various pieces of information projected on the screen.

"...According to the information recorded here, it seems that the warship you destroyed and the surrounding fleet of warships all originated from a race called the Goblin race."

How many races are there in this world?

"Currently, there are probably more than a dozen races, but the most important races seem to be specially marked, and then there's this map... This seems to be the latest map of the world's power structure, I think it's best to memorize it."

"I've already taken a picture using the Knight system's camera function, and it will be transferred to your phones later."

Subsequently, Woz learned how to operate the warship through the information projected in front of him, and also accessed various information databases, from which he learned most of the information about this world.

"A world of great war, the Star Cup... I see."

After the transformation was undone, Yan Ming and Gates finally understood the specific situation.

"That's what I mean."

This world is currently witnessing a massive war involving multiple races.

As a result of this war, the planet's sky was covered by an endless gray, and the sun could not be seen all day. At the same time, each race was extremely wary of each other, because if they met, a massive massacre would inevitably break out.

These warships... the race of this fleet is goblins.

The beings that fought against them were the Skywing race, those beautiful, angelic girls who were defeated by Yan Ming.

Based on the information available, the Skywing race appears to be one of the most powerful races in the world.

All the races in this world fight for an item called the Star Cup.

Legend has it that... whoever obtains the Star Cup can become the ruler of all races and become a new god.

At that time, everything in this world will be ruled by the newborn god.

This is why these races are all desperate to eliminate each other upon encountering one another; everyone is vying for this item called the Star Cup.

"So, according to this ratio, my Demon King can easily defeat those Winged Race guys... which means that my Demon King is already the strongest being in this world, right?"

"How can a conclusion be drawn so easily?"

As Gates spoke, he also glanced at the warship they were on.

"I'm asking, is it really okay to restore this warship? Are you sure their leader won't find out anything about it...?"

"Don't worry, I have thoroughly studied and learned about this warship, so I have turned off its information reporting function to the upper echelons of the goblin race. After that, we can easily use it as our temporary mobile shelter."

The warship was large and seemed to have some rooms inside, so it was perfectly adequate as a temporary place for the three of them to stay.

But these weren't the points that Yan Ming truly cared about.

"...Woz."

After hearing most of the information about this world, Yan Ming continued to look at Woz.

"I know most about other races, but what about humans? Is anything recorded on this spaceship?"

"...I'm sorry, my Demon King."

Woz shook his head.

"The intelligence database of this spaceship seems to be used only to record information about races that are worth recording."

"To the goblins, humans... seem utterly unworthy of being recorded."

If we had to say, it's not that there's no record at all, but... all the information related to humans seems to be just descriptive information like insects.

It's completely useless, or rather...

"To the other races of this world, are humans a species even lower than insects...?"

Gates muttered to himself, while Yan Ming fell silent.

"Where are those people I asked you to find hiding behind the cave?"

"I'm sorry, my Demon King, they all seem to have vanished by the time I came to my senses."

"It can disappear right in front of you?"

"Yes, it seems that a spatial force quickly carried them away from the scene. Because the situation came so suddenly, I didn't have time to stop them from leaving. I'm sorry."

No, this is not your problem.

On the contrary, obtaining this information was of great help to Yan Ming, making it easier for him to analyze the specific situation of humans in this world.
