Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

As he said this, Yan Ming's expression also began to become serious.

"Then, I think what we need to do in this world will become clear."

"...What needs to be done in this world? Isn't it to help humanity obtain the Star Grail they need?"

"You're thinking too superficially."

At first, Yan Ming did indeed think that it might be the same thing Woz said.

Their only duty in this world is to help humanity obtain the Star Grail.

But now, perhaps that's not the case anymore.

Everything seemed to change after Yan Ming saw that scene.

wow-

Just then, the sound of a door opening came from behind.

Then Gates, wearing a bath towel, walked up from behind.

"... "

The group of people looked at each other.

"Um... I noticed this warship has a bathroom, so I used it. Why are you all staring at me like that?"

Gates blinked, looking at them with obvious embarrassment.

Yan Ming looked at Woz with a silent gaze.

"...Is this the important thing you told me about?"

"I think taking a good bath is a major event in life... at least for Gates."

Volume 7, No Game No Life ZERO: Chapter 298, Tinged Race Jibril

somewhere.

From within the black, wormhole-like entity, someone descended.

He landed directly on the ground in front of him, following the airflow, which stirred up a cloud of dust and caused a shockwave.

This is a young man.

He had black hair and blood-red eyes, and wore a somewhat worn but loose trench coat.

The young man had a cold expression. He raised his head and looked up at the sky above him.

Countless black and gray particles with a faint blue glow fell continuously.

The black ash fell onto his cheeks, burning his skin, and the slight stinging sensation made his eyes tremble slightly.

However, the marks left by the black ash disappeared completely in the next second.

The young man paid no attention to these things. He walked slowly across the endless desert, looking at the world in the distance.

Is he here?

Boom! At that moment, a violent commotion suddenly came from behind the young man.

Those are countless demon species.

They were all over fifty meters long, their huge, thick bodies worm-like as they attacked the youth, roaring incessantly to express their intense aggression.

But the young man simply reached out and spread out his clothes.

When he unfolded his clothes, the belt at his waist, filled with six dark gold coins, instantly shone with an extreme brilliance.

Bang——! !

In just a moment.

Without even waving his hand, the power generated by the instantaneous change in his body directly annihilated all the demons.

The demons' bodies were torn to pieces, and their flesh and blood turned into spring water, spraying into the sky and becoming raindrops.

Blood rained down on the ground along with black ash. Under the gloomy sky, the youth who had transformed into some kind of inhuman creature turned his head slightly.

His entire body transformed into a skeletal knight inhabited by the power of Shocker.

"Then let me see your strength again this time, and let me see if I can overcome this high wall, Shilun Yanming."

The young man continued walking forward silently.

Accompanied by blood rain and black ash, like a silent grim reaper, he walks through this deserted desert.

----------------------

The two people stood together in a forest.

Gates and Woz are here solely to gather intelligence on the Forest Elves.

"I'll leave the other side to my Demon King, and this side to the two of us."

"Honestly, I could have done it all by myself. There's no need for someone like you to come along."

"Oh...so you mean, Gates, you think I'm much better than you?"

"What makes you think I would have such thoughts?"

"After all, according to general logic, what you said means that 'it is enough to have Gates leading the charge, there is no need to have a big name like General Wozniak come along'."

"Can you stop making up all this nonsense? And what's this Gates anyway? You're asking for a beating again, aren't you?"

After the two continued to entangle themselves for a while, they finally got down to business.

"Well... it's about time we talked about what we should do next."

Gates stroked his chin and looked up at a very large tree in the distance.

"Those forest elves' secret weapon is hidden in that tree, right?"

"What we need to do is not destroy their secret weapons, Mr. Gates, but obtain detailed information about those secret weapons."

"Is Yan Ming doing the same thing too?"

"That's right... Were you just calling me Demon King Yan Ming?"

"...You misheard me."

Buzz—! Woz pulled out the Galaxy End watch face, and the two of them teleported directly into the interior of the tree through the spatial portal.

"The Zero Blessing of the Void... is this it?"

"We just need to record the specific information, and leave the rest to the people in the human settlement."

Although Yan Ming promised Rick and Shubi that he would help them restore peace to the world, he would not take on everything. Doing so would be like letting humans receive help directly without doing anything, which would feel like being fed by someone else.

Doing so would be disrespectful to them, so Yan Ming would also let them unleash their plans together at the last moment.

Just as the two of them finished recording all the data.

Behind them, countless figures suddenly appeared.

"Who are you people?!"

They look like forest elves...

Looking at these guys blocking their way, Gates and Wozniak knew what was going to happen next.

What should I do?

"Take this opportunity to leave... or take the chance to fight them?"

then.

After that, the two took the opportunity to cause a great disturbance at the gathering point of the forest elves.

"That's...unbelievable."

Rick and Shubi, who remained at the base, were still organizing the various information that Yan Ming and his team had collected.

To avoid frightening the other people in the human settlement, Rick hasn't told them about these things until now.

However… they gained far more intelligence gathering information than ever before.

Only a few days had passed since Yan Ming chose to help them.

However, they had already collected almost all the information on forest elves, goblins, and all sorts of other races.

There are still some remaining fragmented information, and the information about the Skywing race has not been fully collected, but that is only a matter of time.

Now, only a few tasks remain for Rick and Schwie.

One of these measures is to establish something called traffic control.

The so-called traffic control is actually similar to the effect of deflecting the energy released by an attack.

By placing multiple access controls, it is theoretically possible to distort even very large attacks.

That was precisely Rick and Schwi's plan.

"With the help of Mr. Yan Ming and the others... Rick, we only have a little work left to do!"

"...Shubi."

Seeing Hugh's somewhat excited expression, Rick looked at her with some... concern.

"Are you planning to handle the traffic control arrangements alone?"

To implement traffic control measures, it would mean placing Shubi in certain designated locations on this land.

This was naturally no difficult task for Hugh.

But... what if we encounter a powerful race along the way?

If powerful races like forest elves, goblins, or even dragon elves and winged creatures were to encounter Shubi, could they guarantee that she could survive unharmed on her own?

"I want to go with you."

“Richard! What are you talking about? If you come along—”

"Because, aren't we already husband and wife?"

About a day ago.

That is, the moment when everything became clear and Rick felt a little relieved after receiving Yan Ming's assistance.

He then proposed to Hugh.

Therefore...Shubi and Rick are now a real couple, and during this time they have shared their innermost thoughts with each other.

Therefore, Rick could no longer allow his wife to face such a dangerous job alone.

but…

“It’s alright, Rick…Shuby will handle these things carefully.”

“This isn’t a problem that can be solved simply by being cautious, Shubi… if—”

"What would I do if something happened to you..."

Before Rick could speak, Schwi said those words.

She smiled gently at Rick with an expression that seemed almost human.

"...The same goes for Rick, as well as for Shubi."

"..."

“If Rick gets into danger while he’s with Shubi, Shubi will never forgive herself for the rest of her life.”

The two gazed at each other, and in that instant, their feelings were conveyed to each other without needing to be spoken.

then.

"Excuse me for disturbing you two a little."

Just then, another person's voice came from behind.

Hughie and Rick's eyes widened because they saw—

An unfamiliar young man appeared in their room.

"You, who are you?!"

No... it's not that I don't know you.
