Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

In an instant.

The golden light of the soul blocked all its attacks in one breath.

"Armor Time!"

Countless dimensional phantoms, along with the souls of fifteen great figures, rushed towards the spirit body.

"KamenRide! Wow! Decade·Decade! Decade!"

"Final Form Time! Gh·Gh·Gh·Ghost!"

They repelled the ghosts before him like shotgun pellets and completely attached themselves to Yan Ming's body, transforming his original magenta armor into a black and gold suit of armor adorned with totems.

The helmet, resembling an LCD screen, instantly revealed the appearance of Ghost·Gratitude Soul form.

In the distance, Ereshkigal watched all of this with great concern.

Yan Ming, on the other hand, was alone, facing the enormous monster before him.

boom--!!

The next instant, a fireball crackling with intense heat energy hurtled straight toward him.

Yan Ming remained standing still, but instead threw a punch. His golden fist instantly split the fireball in two, scattering it to the left and right.

At the same moment, a beam of light, like a pillar of light, struck again with even greater force.

Bang! Two enormous forces clashed.

But—Yan Ming blocked it with his body.

Then the various totems on his body began to glow, and the power of the great men helped him to counteract most of the energy released by the ghosts.

Under the awe-inspiring gaze of the enormous ghost before him, Yan Ming continued forward, braving the incoming beams of light, and suddenly leaped up.

Fifteen streams of light of different colors converged on his right fist and suddenly fell from above his head.

Boom—!!

The overwhelming force blasted the enormous ghost away like a volleyball, sending it tumbling across the ground several times.

It barely managed to grip the ground with its sharp hands to avoid being completely blasted away.

"Such strength! It can even send such a huge monster flying?!"

That's a level that's completely beyond what humans can achieve.

Yan Ming clenched his five fingers, and as he looked ahead, a burst of sand and stones exploded again in front of him.

It was still that enormous monster.

It lunged at him menacingly, but Yan Ming calmly stretched out his right arm and lunged forward.

Clang—!

Sharp and powerful claws suddenly landed on Yan Ming's hand.

However, the gold-black armor surface remained completely undamaged.

Not only that, Yan Ming also used brute force to push his legs slightly deeper into the ground.

He grabbed the spirit's slender skeletal arm with his backhand.

The enormous body, about five meters tall, was suddenly flung into the air by pulling on one arm.

Boom! He stomped his feet on the ground, and his body, which had been sinking due to the excessive force, broke through and rose up in an instant.

A purple glow flashed from his hand.

"Riding the Heisei Sword (Ride HeiSaber)!"

The sword, which could instantly draw upon the power of eighteen different Heisei Riders, fell into his hands. Yan Ming gripped the hilt and simultaneously spun the pointer at the top with his thumb.

"Hey! Ghost!"

Golden light emanated from his entire body. This time, Yan Ming used the power of fifteen great men to forcefully resist the laws of the underworld, allowing himself to float several meters in the air and achieve flight.

The blade in his hand emitted iridescent light, and golden totem runes appeared behind him.

The soul power of fifteen heroes and great figures is superimposed on top of the Ghost power released by wielding the Heisei Sword.

The two forces are combined.

The tip of Yan Ming's sword instantly unleashed an overwhelming golden giant blade.

"Ghost! Dual Time Break!"

The sword blade fell straight down.

After a direct and decisive downward slash, Yan Ming landed on the ground, while the monster that had been struck head-on was completely corroded by different colored forces, which instantly blasted outwards from the inside.

Boom! The power materialized into a hurricane, followed by an endless explosion.

I can't believe it...

In the distance, Ereshkigal, who was watching the battle, was already dumbfounded.

The entire process took only about a minute, and the human wearing the strange armor... had already ended his battle.

Even spirits possessing power equivalent to nearly half of the underworld's authority were utterly unable to withstand his attacks…

boom--!!

In an instant, a stream of light shot out from the flames and engulfed Yan Ming's body.

"Danger!"

Ereshkigal's eyes widened, and he screamed.

Bang! The explosion engulfed Yan Ming's body, while he himself suffered the same level of burns.

But in an instant.

He directly manipulated a sea-blue power, causing triangular blue shields to appear around his body, blocking the attack.

Bang! The shield shattered suddenly, but it had blocked all the power that had just been used on Yan Ming... This was the spatial power possessed by Tutankhamun.

However, in the sea of ​​fire before them, the monster, which appeared to be paralyzed from the waist down, reappeared.

"It's gotten this strong already?"

From being unilaterally beaten by Yan Ming at the beginning to now exhaling breath that can shatter a one-time shield released by Tutankhamun—only one minute has passed in this entire process.

Yan Ming's power just now was calculated; it was enough to kill him twice over.

But it still survived.

Even... its injuries are gradually healing.

The flames engulfed their figures, and Yan Ming also heard Ereshkigal calling out to him in a panic from behind.

"Don't die! You idiot... how can you die in a place like this! I'm coming to save you—"

"Idiot, don't come out!"

If Ereshkigal were to come out, she would be in complete danger.

But before Yan Ming could finish speaking, a sudden, intense dizziness came from in front of his eyes.

Then.

Yan Ming could only watch helplessly as the girl, out of extreme worry for him, disregarded the danger and ran forward to face the invincible ghost with a posture full of anger and sorrow.

The world returned to a pure white.

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

"My Demon King!"

Such a sound echoed in my ears.

The next instant, Yan Ming opened his eyes and got up from the bed.

"...This is my room?"

I felt a little sweat on my forehead.

Yan Ming quickly looked around. This was his room... and the person standing next to him calling him was Woz.

"Are you alright? I was planning to go back to the rooftop for a walk after I got back, but I was surprised to find you collapsed on the floor..."

"I'm fine, Woz... no."

Yan Ming touched his forehead... Now is not the time to talk about such things.

Although everything that just happened was experienced in my spiritual form, it was definitely not a dream.

The underworld, an old man, a rampaging soul, and the goddess of the underworld fighting alone against that spirit…

…I have to go back.

Thinking this, Yan Ming took out the Decade control dial and tried to use the Aurora Veil's power to return to the Underworld.

However, apart from the memories he had just experienced, he could not capture the accurate spatial coordinates in his mind.

Could it be because of dreaming...?

"Woz, where are the coordinates of the Underworld?"

Why did you suddenly want to ask this?

"The situation is urgent; I must go and save someone."

"The Underworld... Could it be that you're looking for Ereshkigal, the goddess of the Underworld? Shouldn't she be one of the three goddesses you're facing? Shouldn't she be the enemy?"

"Tell me the coordinates first, and you'll come with me. I'll tell you all the details on the way."

Although Woz was confused, he still told Yan Ming the coordinates, and the two of them used the Decade ride dial to get to the outside of the underworld.

Before them lay a vast valley, not naturally formed, but likely carved out by someone who had tried to enter the underworld.

"I see..."

Woz learned about everything that happened during that time from Yan Ming.

He looked at Yan Ming in disbelief and touched his chin.

"Your situation is just like that of the Demon King before."

"what happened?"

“Tokiwa Sougo, he also once... traveled to the year 2121 in a parallel world in the form of a dream... no, he even used his dream to directly foresee and create the entire future of the year 2121 in the parallel world. I suppose your situation this time is similar to his.”

The only difference is that Tokiwa Sougo actually went to the future, while Yan Ming did not travel through time; he simply acted in this era in the form of a dream.

The two gazed at the enormous valley before them. Woz had already captured spatial information from the deepest part of the valley. As long as Yan Mingyi agreed, they could directly reach the deepest part of the underworld.

only--

"Are you sure you want to help that goddess of the underworld, my Demon King?"

Woz asked Yan Ming again.

"She is a member of the Three Goddess Alliance, one of the members who intend to destroy humanity, and your theoretical enemy now."

"even so…"

"Do you still intend to save her?"

Volume 8, Mesopotamian Absolute Demonic Front: Chapter 332 Saving the Goddess of the Underworld and the People of the Underworld

Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld, is also a member of the Three Goddesses Alliance.

We have learned from King Gilgamesh and Merlin that the three goddesses in this organization are determined to destroy humanity.

In that case, they should be Yan Ming's enemies.

Why save one of them?

"Because I witnessed her personally protecting humanity."

Yan Ming's answer was simple.

"The Three Goddess Alliance is not my enemy. My enemies are those who would harm the innocent. And now, I see that Ereshkigal will not only fight to protect the living beings on earth, but will also fight desperately to protect the dead in the underworld from desecration."

"I only believe what I see with my own eyes, and this is what I saw."

Ereshkigal did everything in his power to protect the dead in the underworld, to protect the underworld itself, and to fight desperately to prevent the world of the living from being affected. This is what he saw.
