Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

The people's prayers seemed to have been conveyed—in that instant, Yan Ming's power was able to exert its maximum force.

"Trinity Time Break!"

"Burst!"

"Explosion!"

Three figures of different colors perfectly overlapped with Yan Ming from behind.

And with enough power to shatter an entire planet.

In an instant, they faced a combined attack from the opponent's three powers.

Volume 7, No Game No Life ZERO: Chapter 307 The Reappearance of the Shocker Leader Knight

For the humans of this world, the world they have always lived in has always been pure hell.

People never see the sun. Endless black ash and the aura of war forever shroud the world. The battles between countless races have plunged the world into crisis. Even the most basic places to survive are hard to find. It is such an unjust world.

By now, people have seen far too many scenes like this.

The wars between countless races have long since left this land scarred and people have witnessed countless acts of overwhelming destruction. There is basically nothing left that can significantly stir people's emotions.

But this premise... has been completely shattered today.

"Mother."

Inside a cave in a human settlement, a little girl and her mother look out at the sky through a window-like opening.

So the little girl grabbed her mother's shoulder and asked in an innocent tone.

"Look, huge white clouds are appearing in the sky. Could that be the sun that I read about in the storybook?"

—A devastating daytime exploded across the sky above this world.

Soon, it wasn't just the mother and daughter who saw this; countless people observed the unusual phenomenon in the sky through various means, and they were shocked, fearful, and incredulous.

Because in their lives, and even in all of human history, such an exaggerated phenomenon has never occurred before.

The enormous beam of light that burst forth from the sky not only covered the entire sky, but also seemed to shake the entire planet, raging through the high altitudes with an aura as if it were about to tear the whole planet apart.

However, there is another, completely different force hindering this impact.

Then shift the focus to the area near this large-scale scene.

The races that created this spectacle—the forest elves and the goblins—all stared wide-eyed at everything before them.

"Are you kidding...?"

Sink Nielba, the leader of the Forest Elf race, had long since lost the ability to utter a single word.

In that instant, after realizing that the so-called monkey... the so-called human, possessed power that even surpassed that of Alteshu, she did not hesitate to issue orders to the entire forest elf race.

Thus—the "Void Zero Protection" of the eighteen forest elves, the "Marrow Explosion" of the twelve goblins, plus the "Collapse Roar" released by the eight-headed dragon elves at the cost of their lives, and then... on this basis, the "Divine Strike" released by all the winged creatures and Altshu together was added.

With so much power combined, destroying a race or civilization, or even a planet, would not be excessive.

The combined effect of all the strongest forces available in the world today is such an exaggerated and powerful result.

But even so—

"It's already reached planetary-level output, so why? Why is that guy still able to—block it?!"

All races saw it.

Even as all the power coalesced into a single strike capable of shattering a planet and hurtling forward with undeniable force—there was still a figure who, with a flying kick, blocked all of that power.

Shilun Yanming.

With the power of Zi-O III, he multiplied the power of the three riders in a triple cycle within his body, and then integrated all of this power into his own body.

The power circulates three times within the body, which means that... with each stage, the power of Yan Ming's ultimate technique can be strengthened by nearly three times.

From the very beginning, the ultimate attack unleashed by Zi-O III had already reached a power level capable of interfering with planets.

What will happen next?

Before such immense energy, a crack spread out.

Yan Ming, whose right foot was wrapped in three kinds of light, did not increase the power of his ultimate move much. He simply countered with the same scale as his opponent—that is, the same power capable of shattering a planet.

However, Yan Ming's goal was not to completely neutralize all of the opponent's energy.

They clashed with each other, trying to prevent any excess force from destroying the ground.

While slowly immersing his body in the conflict of all the energies of "Void Zero Protection", "Marrow Explosion" and "Divine Strike" in front of him.

All races, including the Skywings and Altshu himself, watched Yan Ming make this move, and none of them could understand what this human was trying to do.

Only two people who are separated by an extremely long distance.

Rick and Shubi... only they know what Yan Ming is planning to do.

boom--!!

Then, it was shattered.

With the kicking power of the third-stage Time King's ultimate technique, Yan Ming shattered such a huge amount of conflicting energy from the inside.

He then guided the shattered energy fragments, directing them in the direction of his kick, and launched them all towards the ground.

That movement looks like kicking a ball in mid-air.

It's just that what was kicked was energy that could penetrate even planets.

As the white light burned and a beam of light, brighter and hotter than the sun, flashed away, the planet was once again violently shaken for what seemed like the umpteenth time.

The beam of light crashed down towards the ground in one breath. In theory, it should have pierced through the planet's core and detonated the entire planet from within, destroying it completely.

However—on the ground, countless tiny blue shields unfolded.

"Traffic control..."

Shubi gazed at the blue shield that was constantly unfolding on the ground, and murmured to herself in the shadows.

The things she had placed are now beginning to play their true role.

That is, deviating from the trajectory of the attack.

Whoosh! The enormous beam of light, affected by numerous traffic restrictions, changed its trajectory through precise calculations, transforming into a stream of light that shot down a slightly off-center from the planet's core.

The earth was torn apart, and endless rocks and dust flew everywhere.

With Shubi's help, Rick and she disappeared from their spot and went straight into the air, while Shubi shielded Rick from all the flying sand and stones.

The light, which originally had a curved path, transformed back into a beam of light after shining deep into the ground.

The aurora borealis reflects from deep underground, piercing through clouds and layers of black and gray, and extending into outer space.

…Then, the planet was detonated.

The immense force caused the light entering the cave to burst into an even more dazzling blue glow.

"Those lights... they came from the Elf Corridor..."

Hughie murmured to herself, while Rick, whom she was holding, watched the scene with a lingering sense of unease.

"...Shubi."

He spoke softly, glancing at the person closest to him.

"Let's...go and get it out."

The planet was pierced by a force greater than the combined energy of all the divine beings—the power of the planet had already manifested.

That means that... the Star Cup has been fully revealed.

It's time for everything in this world to come to an end.

————————————————————————

"The planet was... pierced through?"

The forest elves and goblins were still in a daze, as were the winged creatures.

Only Artesius, the god of war, finally realized everything.

He slowly raised his head, but because he had released the divine strike, his body felt incredibly empty.

In reality, if Althu were to use God Strike, it should be as simple as a jab, without needing to exert so much effort.

But he used all his strength in this divine strike.

Because he had realized that he could not defeat the strongest being from another world if he did not use his full strength.

But now it seems that even if he uses all his power as the god of war, he still can't defeat his opponent...

Altshu remained silent for a long time, then mustered his last strength with his weakened body and looked up at the figure high in the sky.

Why is he so strong?

Why does he possess such power that transcends his own, when he is merely a human being?

Thoughts like "Why am I not as good as the other person?" kept echoing in my mind.

God is not absolutely omnipotent.

Even with the Star Cup, one can only be considered a limited omniscient and omnipotent god, so Alteshu cannot understand these questions and cannot find the answers.

Suspended high in the sky, after seeing the aurora that pierced through the sky, Yan Ming understood that everything had finally settled down.

"My Demon King, thanks to your efforts, that power has already penetrated the interior of the planet, and it seems that the planet's own energy has gradually been released."

"I know."

This was Rick and his team's plan, and all Yan Ming did was execute it.

By now, Rick should already be winning the Star Cup with Schwi's help.

If we're talking about credit, Yan Ming and his group certainly deserve a lot of credit. If we wanted to help them, we could have just made the Star Cup appear from the beginning.

But—

At least for now, Yan Ming has successfully achieved this outcome through the plan set up by Rick and his group as humans themselves.

Although Yan Ming did most of the credit, the real leaders were still Rick and his team.

Moreover, even without Yan Ming and the others, if Rick had followed his plan, Alteshu and his group would have eventually allowed the energy from the eruption to seep onto the ground, ultimately... due to the restrictions on travel, causing the planet's core to be exposed.

No matter what we do, this plan will eventually come to fruition.

The forest elves and goblins were all watching the distant light. They knew that the Star Cup would be taken by someone, and this long-lasting war would finally come to an end.

Under Altshue's watchful gaze, Yan Ming's body slowly descended into the dilapidated white temple.

"My lord...!"

The Skywing race members stood guard in front of Altshu with great vigilance, but because they had exhausted their power, they had all turned into children and thus posed no threat whatsoever.

Yan Ming ignored them and turned his gaze directly to Alteshu.

What are you planning to do?

The two stood facing each other, even though they had never met before, and this was their first time meeting.

But Yan Ming spoke to Alteshu in a tone as if he were talking to an acquaintance.

"The Star Cup has been decided, and this great war that has lasted for countless years has come to an end."

"Even so, you still intend to continue fighting me?"

After a moment of silence.

Altshu tilted his head back slightly and burst into laughter.

"I am a god who exists for war, a god who embodies the concept of war."

"...I understand."

Therefore, there is no need to say anything more.

Yan Ming knew what Altshu meant... He represented the concept of war; without war, it would mean that the existence of the God of War would disappear.

Therefore, he had to fight no matter what.

This has nothing to do with reasons, anything to do with friend or foe, anything to do with strength or weakness.
