Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

Yan Ming and Gates took out the Time Demon's watch face, unfolded it, and threw it onto an open grassy area not far away.

"It's about time I left this world."

"Okay, you guys go first, I'll catch up in a bit."

So Gates and Woz went inside the Time Demon first.

As for Yan Ming…

Once the two figures were completely out of sight, his expression immediately turned serious.

Yan Ming then turned his head away.

"You don't need to hide anymore."

A faint sound emanated from his side, and the particles coalesced into a human figure.

"How interesting. How exactly did you sense my presence?"

A petite figure appeared before her.

He looked to be only a teenager, his height only reaching Yan Ming's chest, and he was an extremely cute-looking boy.

Yan Ming was already very familiar with what he was holding in his arms.

The irregular, strange-looking object... without a doubt, it was the Star Cup.

So who exactly is the person in this world who still holds the Star Cup today?

"You are the one and only god of the new generation."

"You've got a sharp mind. No wonder you're a visitor from another world who even defeated the strongest guy in this world!"

It seems that everything Yan Ming and the others did before was seen by this one and only god.

Recalling what had happened before, Yan Ming remembered that he had handed the Star Cup to a person without a physical form in that starry, otherworldly space... He figured that person must be the boy in front of him.

Unexpectedly, a boy who looks so young becomes the only god of the new world.

"Then... why did you appear in that alternate dimension I was in back then?"

"Well, if I had to put it that way, I was actually just born from the place where you are."

"Born?" Yan Ming was slightly puzzled by the other party's words.

The boy continued with a grin.

"Oh dear, I almost forgot to introduce myself! My name is Tetu! I am the God of Games of this world, and also a newly created deity!"

"So, you didn't exist until I got the Star Cup?"

"My outline was constructed because of someone's imagination, but I had no real concept of it... Until the final appearance of the Star Cup, the powerful force finally created my framework and gave me this body."

The game god named Tet was born near the Star Cup, and theoretically speaking... he's not even a year old.

But judging from his current appearance, he seems to possess unfathomable wisdom—despite his somewhat mischievous behavior.

"Anyway, I am the new one and only God~! But there's something I really don't understand."

What don't you understand?

"Why did you abandon the Star Cup? You clearly already had the ability to become the One God and directly rule this world."

Tetu held the Star Cup in both hands, looking at Yan Ming with utter bewilderment.

"It was only after I obtained the Star Cup that I realized just how powerful the concept of omniscience and omnipotence truly is. It was an amazing feeling... so I instantly understood all sorts of knowledge."

"But—even so, I still can't understand why you would give up the Star Cup back then."

"It can give you omniscience and omnipotence, allowing you to evolve from a weak human into an absolute god. You can have anything you want, so why give it up?"

If it were an ordinary person, suddenly possessing overwhelming power would probably be overwhelming at first... but if you told him that he could have any wish he wanted, and could get anything he wanted just by thinking about it, or even become a god, that would probably be very attractive.

Everyone has imagined suddenly having the ability to get whatever they want, but when such a life had the chance to come to him, Yan Ming chose to refuse.

"The reason is simple: I have no interest in becoming a god."

"Eh?!"

His extremely decisive and straightforward answer truly shocked Tet.

“I still have things to do waiting for me, and there are people in other places waiting for me to return to. I would rather do these things than become a god.”

"Okay... if that's your choice, then there's nothing I can say."

In reality, even becoming omniscient and omnipotent would not bring Yan Ming any help.

Because the Star Cup he possesses only grants him great power in this world, but it cannot help him retain his omniscience and omnipotence after he leaves this world.

More importantly... Yan Ming also experienced a power even stronger than the Star Cup.

He knew what true power was like, and he also understood that the power of a single Star Cup was simply not enough to meet his needs in the future.

So he still decided to walk on his own, and he could only walk on his own.

"In exchange for you handing over the Star Cup to me, I will also manage this world well from today onwards and will never allow any senseless killing to continue to run rampant."

Seeing Tetu's serious expression, Yan Ming nodded directly.

The power of the Star Grail would allow Tet to hold an absolutely supreme position in this world, with no one able to rebel against him. It would be an easy task for him to rule the world and prevent it from becoming like the world of the previous great war.

"And then, I also hope you'll take good care of Rick and Shubi."

"You mean them... I see. Then I'll definitely take good care of them!"

"Hey Zi-O, what are you talking about all by yourself outside?"

On the other side, Gates emerged from the Time Demon as if urging him on, seemingly unable to see Tet in his view.

"You're the only one missing. Our Time Demon is already activated. Let's hurry and head to the next world!"

Yan Ming shook his head and stopped looking behind him, because... Tetu's figure had disappeared.

Urged by Gates, Yan Ming stepped into the Time Demon God's chamber.

Om-! !

High in the distance, Tetu hovered in mid-air, watching the Time Demon God slowly depart as the group departed.

"Shilun Yanming...?"

In an instant, Tetu's expression also became extremely serious.

"Although he is indeed a good person who loves peace, but—"

"There's a reason he doesn't want to obtain the Star Cup. I saw it through the Star Cup; within him... there lies an unparalleled power, perhaps even surpassing the Star Cup itself...?"

At the moment he obtained the Star Cup, Tet actually heard a voice coming from inside the Star Cup.

That was the sound produced when Yan Ming obtained the Star Cup.

Its name is—fear.

Fear... The omniscient and omnipotent Star Grail actually feels fear? Is it fear of something within its body?

"What exactly is that...? Who is this person who possesses such power yet remains completely unaware of it as a human?"

Regardless, Tet ultimately cannot find a solution to this problem.

So where exactly is the answer...?

Carrying these questions with him, Yan Ming has already embarked on his journey to a completely new world.

Volume 8, Mesopotamian Absolute Monster Front: Chapter 317 The Prelude to a Rampaging Situation

Nobody knows what kind of place this is.

Whether it was in the deepest part of the universe or in another dimension, looking up, I couldn't see any starlight that should exist in the universe.

On a desolate, pale land even more lifeless than the moon's surface, demons reside.

But most of them were just weak demons with little consciousness, wandering aimlessly around the area, drawn there by a powerful force lurking in the region.

then.

A burst of intense light instantly swept across the area where the demons were located.

Boom! Explosions erupted in all directions.

The figure who had effortlessly annihilated countless small demons stood there.

"Is this the information Hai Dong provided?"

A dimensional warrior with a head and green eyes, dressed in magenta and white.

After determining the coordinates, he traveled directly to this place via the aurora curtain that spans the world.

The coordinates were given to him by Daiki Kaito. He and Daiki Kaito were searching for different information. He was responsible for investigating Oma Zi-O and Tokiwa Sougo, while Daiki Kaito was responsible for investigating the demons.

However, despite spending so much time, Tsukasa Kadoya still couldn't find anything related to Tokiwa Sougo or Oma Zi-O... On the other hand, Daiki Kaito received new information that there was a place where abnormal energy was gathered and where many powerful demons had appeared.

That location is where Tsukasa Kadoya is now.

After transforming, Tsukasa Kadoya is able to fight normally even in the vacuum of space.

"Oh dear, it seems we've been completely discovered."

The remaining demons roared and charged toward Tsukasa Kadoya, but their numbers were few and they were not much of a problem to deal with.

Tsukasa Kadoya casually took out a card and inserted it into the magenta driver.

"Attack Ride! Slash!"

Then, with a single sweeping motion—a crimson light blade extended from the front of the card-shaped longsword, expanding to a length of one hundred meters in one go.

The power that erupted easily annihilated all the demons.

Dealing with these small demons is probably no big deal.

After casually wiping the blade with his hand, Tsukasa Kadoya continued to observe the surrounding environment.

“That’s strange… Hai Dong told me that this place has been a place where many powerful demons have appeared. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t only be such weak demons here.”

He continued walking forward and eventually found something at the very end of this incredibly eerie place.

It was something he had never seen before.

"ah…?"

Upon reaching the end, Tsukasa Kadoya was stunned by the sight before him.

—It is a door.

An ancient and enormous door blocked their way, with a murky, purplish-black mist extending from both sides and directly above it.

The fog enveloped a large area, and it was impossible to see what was inside through the fog.

Even more amazing is…

The closer one gets to the area where the door is located, the more the ground around it will rot as Tsukasa Kadoya approaches.

"What's going on... Where exactly is this place?"

From a distance, it didn't seem particularly mysterious, but now that Tsukasa Kadoya was very close to the door, he could see the purplish-black mist around it suddenly expand.

The mist seemed to change its shape depending on how close it got, as if it were deceiving Tsukasa Kadoya's five senses.

Or rather... it's impossible to see through the phenomena here using the five human senses.

What lies behind this door?

When this thought crossed Tsukasa Kadoya's mind, he instinctively reached for the door.

Right at this moment.

A sudden, intense flash of light appeared beneath Tsukasa Kadoya's feet.

He immediately realized what was happening.

Boom!! The instant after Tsukasa Kadoya hurriedly dodged, a powerful explosion spread directly from where he was, igniting the surrounding area with fiercely burning black flames.

"Following the clues, we eventually arrived here..."

In a vacuum where sound shouldn't be transmitted, Tsukasa Kadoya heard someone speaking.

Turning around, I saw a figure standing about fifty meters away.

"You really shouldn't have come here to suffer."
