Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

Since the other party can hurt him, it means that... Yan Ming now possesses the concept of "evil" as opposed to "good," and is a truly "evil" person.

"But how is that possible?"

Even she, a goddess residing at the pinnacle of goodwill, could not believe such a thing.

How could a person be in the realm of "good" one moment and suddenly switch to the state of "evil" the next? There is no such bizarre person in any historical mythology, ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign.

And then there was the way he suddenly disappeared from his spot and inexplicably dodged my attack... It was as if he had anticipated that I would attack that spot!

How did he manage to do that?

Om-!

Suddenly, another strange vibration came from the air.

Quetzal noticed that in the brief moment he was thinking, the person had disappeared again…

"Disappeared again?"

She immediately frowned and raised her hand.

With a whoosh, a greatsword appeared in Quetzal's hands in a flash of golden light. She gripped the greatsword tightly with both hands, her eyes darting around.

Suddenly.

An overwhelming aura descended directly from above.

"Is it up there?!"

Quetzal realized that her opponent seemed to be imitating her previous surprise attack on him, so she raised her greatsword and swung it fiercely from bottom to top.

Bang! The two enormous forces intersected at a single point, instantly generating a massive impact capable of shaking an area with a radius of ten kilometers.

Wearing armor and wielding two swords, Yan Ming maintained the motion of smashing the blades down.

In contrast, Quetzal gritted his teeth and looked at him with a somewhat strained expression.

'This is impossible! Not only can he launch an effective attack against me now, but my strength has also weakened?!'

No, that's not right...

It's not that my own strength has weakened, but rather—the opponent's strength has increased.

"Knight's Slash!"

A strange sound effect came from the oddly shaped sword.

The next moment, the longsword, which was flashing with purple light, suddenly became much heavier.

"Ugh—Gurgle!!"

Boom!! As the blade pressed down, almost half of Quetzal's body was smashed into the ground.

She forcefully blocked the opponent's attack with her greatsword, only to see the opponent's other sword slashing down horizontally.

His attacks are now affecting me; I can no longer ignore them as easily as before.

If I were to be struck in the body like that—

"Drink it!!!"

At this moment, amidst the intense fluctuations of power, something akin to an aura enveloped Quetzal's body. Her hands gripped the greatsword, engraved with golden symbols, and with a reckless swing, she instantly swept away everything around her.

Radius is several hundred meters.

Within such a large range of fluctuations, almost everything was affected by Quetzalcoatl's power.

Boom! Even the soil and rocks deep underground were blown away.

Quetzal's body broke free from the quake with overwhelming force, causing a massive earthquake that even struck the distant city of Ur.

Her eyes turned bloodshot, and with exaggerated force, she grabbed the other person's neck.

The two of them shot straight into the sky like rockets.

"Very good! Big sister has now completely ignited your desire to wrestle with little brother. Now you have no choice but to play along, even if you don't want to!"

Quetzal grabbed Yan Ming's body and pulled him down, then kicked him in the neck with his right foot, slamming him down from the clouds to the ground.

In this tense moment, when the final battle was about to determine the victor—

"—Huh?"

Quetzal looked around in surprise.

The ground wasn't lifted up, and she didn't jump into the sky in one breath. She was still standing on the ground as before, and there wasn't even a footprint on the ground beneath her feet.

The surroundings became perfectly harmonious, as if nothing had happened, and the distant city of Ur remained completely unaffected.

Everything that just happened seems like a dream; it has all vanished.

"What's going on? What's going on—!"

Quetzal turned her head sharply, as if she had sensed something.

—Thump! !

An overwhelming slash sent her flying.

Boom!! Quetzal's body tumbled on the ground like a spinning top, and even using a sword to hold him still was difficult to stop him.

But at that very moment, her body suddenly returned to the spot where she had just flown out.

It's as if time is flowing backwards.

"Damn it...! What on earth happened?!"

When Quetzal looked up, she saw something that surprised her once again.

Countless purple sword energies appeared out of nowhere…

It surrounded itself as if suspended in mid-air.

The familiar figure standing in the distance slightly raised his hand and then casually swung it down.

Countless sword energies shot directly at him from every angle, leaving no blind spots.

Each sword strike contains the power to slice through mountains.

boom--!!

Countless sword energies descended in response. Originally, such immense power should have been able to directly destroy the entire surrounding ground, but under Yan Ming's control, it was all directed at Quetzal alone, without leaking out.

The reason he was able to attack her, who was the pinnacle of good gods, was entirely due to the power of the second-generation Zi-O he possessed.

Half of its power comes from the other side of the Mirror World. As the opposite world, it represents the opposite realm... Exterior and interior, good and evil, past and future. Yan Ming, who possesses the power of the second-order Time King, completely dominates all the dualisms before him.

He is both good and evil, his outward appearance and inner nature are one. Even when facing Quetzalcoatl, who can nullify all benevolent attacks, he cannot withstand this power, because he can become good whenever he needs to, and he can transform into evil whenever he needs to.

In short, he surpassed the limits of human imagination, so Quetzal could not be immune to Yan Ming's... or rather, Zi-O II's attacks.

Ultimately, however, whether it's good or evil, it's all just meaningless superficial work.

Yan Ming calmly held his two swords and continued walking towards Quetzal, who lay fallen in the dust.

"...The Winged Serpent (Quetzalcoatl)!!"

Quetzal, covered in dust and dirt, shouted inside the huge crater, while several figures shot out into the air in an instant.

Those are pterosaurs, extinct creatures that should have been wiped out in ancient times, but they have now appeared in the world through Quetzalcoatl's Noble Phantasm.

As soon as they emerged, the pterosaurs roared and attacked with ferocious speed.

Yan Ming remained unmoved.

As he walked slowly, he raised the sword in his hand, and the tip of the blade burst forth with dazzling colorful light.

"Twice the overload."

boom--!!

With a swift swing of the sword, the enemy vanished.

The purple sword energy spread out over a kilometer, and all the pterosaurs were instantly annihilated in mid-air.

Quetzal stared at him in disbelief.

He watched as that guy slowly approached him.

She no longer treated this person with disdain... but with a very heavy heart.

Because this person gave her the same feeling as the evil god who had defeated her before, possessing a terrifying sense of oppression.

Is he "good" or "evil"? This question is completely meaningless now.

…but.

Quetzal did not use his full strength.

She also possessed even greater power. Upon realizing this, the feathered serpent god stood up without hesitation.

Being covered in dust and dirt is merely a superficial phenomenon. While this simple physical blow is painful and causes effective damage, however—

not enough.

"That's not enough to defeat me... Hmph, I never imagined that the humans I used to love would possess such power. Should I be gratified or saddened?"

one way or another.

From this moment on... the power emanating from Quetzalcoatl is completely different.

boom--!!!

The moment Yan Ming slowly approached, an overwhelming, scorching power erupted from her body.

That was Quetzal Koyatl, entwined in the heat.

The true power unleashed by Quetzalcoatl of Venus...

"Come on... give it a try."

Like a shooting star, the goddess instantly leaps to a height of one thousand meters in the sky.

Like a flying kick, it fell straight down.

"Let me see just how powerful humanity has become these days!!"

No longer showing any mercy, that was the decisive blow unleashed after truly recognizing Yan Ming as an enemy.

It will not leak out in any other direction; it will only unleash a terrifying kick of full energy and magic on Yan Ming alone.

Faced with such an attack.

Yan Ming did not speak.

…instead, it responded with a strike from the Demon King.

Boom! The two swords merged, and golden light blades shot out directly from the very tips of the blades.

"The ultimate Finish Time!"

"Rider Finish Time! Twice Time Break!"

The blades were raised facing each other, and the radiant greatsword, wreathed in colorful and purple lightning, continued to climb higher with overwhelming force.

At the same time, Yan Ming was also using the physical abilities of the second-stage Time King to continuously amplify the power of this attack.

Even from high above, Quetzalcoatl could see the ultimate golden light erupting from the ground, and she smiled radiantly at it, then—

Go all out.

In that brief instant, both sides unleashed their most intense power on this planet.

"Take this! Ultimate Impact Flying Kick (Ultimo Tope Patada) --!!"

"King! Giri Giri Slash!"

The annihilating blow of the Feathered Serpent God of Venus.

The ultimate blow from the Time-Space Demon King, surpassing all others.

The power of their Noble Phantasms and ultimate techniques clashed at the pinnacle of the planet with overwhelming force.

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

A force powerful enough to annihilate everything surged violently in the air a thousand meters above the ground.

Eventually... I don't know how much time passed.
