Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

There was neither confusion nor hesitation.

What has sustained him all this way? What has given him the strength to keep fighting?

"…Um."

Anna was unaware of these things.

However, she could trust him, she could trust this man who seemed unconquerable by any hardship, no matter what happened.

Merlin smiled as well, and he and Yan Ming exchanged a glance and nodded to each other.

The three of them walked together into the deepest part of the cave, and then—

"…What's this?"

Merlin and Anna were the first to exclaim in surprise.

The two of them possessed a great deal of knowledge about this world, so they were also very clear about what a lair for creating magical beasts should look like.

But what is the scene before us?

The entire room was connected by something red like blood vessels, and in the very center was a huge heart.

The intersection of blood vessels forms the body of a monster.

They... are still alive.

"Roar…"

Countless monsters howled in agony, their numbers exceeding dozens or even hundreds, completely distributed in every blood vessel in the room, and the density of these blood vessels almost permeated the entire enormous room.

Each of their cries is transmitted to their hearts in the very center as their blood vessels tremble.

"This is where Gorgon uses to raise magical beasts...? How could it be like this!"

In this world, no workshop used to create monsters should be presented like this.

Gumbling—

At that moment, they heard a sound.

That was the sound of liquid seeping in from behind...

boom!!

What spurts out from the various branches of the blood vessels is blood plasma.

It wasn't just blood, but a strange substance so viscous it was almost lumpy, resembling jelly.

They sprayed out from all directions of the ceiling and flowed onto the floor, almost immersing the three of them in this eerie liquid.

"Jump up there!"

As Yan Ming shouted, everyone immediately noticed that the liquid seemed to be constantly wriggling.

The three of them leaped toward a protruding stone platform to their right rear.

*Pfft!* Then, they saw it.

Those were monsters constantly emerging from the blood... they were demonic beasts.

However, its stance has completely changed.

"What's this?"

Anna looked at the monster in front of her with utter disgust.

Although its appearance is similar to that of a monster, its body surface is completely blood red and transparent.

The transparent skin reveals real biological organs, such as the brain, heart, blood vessels, and nerve networks—but not a skeleton.

These monsters kept emerging from the sea of ​​blood-red things.

"These are magical beasts? Could it be that they were all absorbed by that thing in the middle—"

As Anna continued to watch the scene before her, she felt a wave of nausea.

That was an instinctive aversion and rejection.

Even a court magician like Merlin watched the scene unfold with a somber expression.

"I've never seen this phenomenon before. The essence of magical beasts has been completely changed. Now they are simply wearing the skin of magical beasts."

Gollum—

Just then, they heard other sounds.

It came from directly in front.

It was... from that enormous heart.

Bang——! !

A gigantic body emerged from it.

Even Yan Ming felt an instinctive sense of disgust the moment he saw that body.

"Is this... a Gorgon...?"

Anna couldn't help but ask, puzzled.

The purple-haired goddess, her body constantly enveloped like jelly on the ground, with her ribcage exposed, revealing wings, claws, a snake's tail, and a snake's head—in various poses.

But her face had completely lost its original human form.

Looking at it from the front... countless wide-open eyes appeared on the witch's face, replacing her normal features.

That was already a monster through and through.

As the room filled with viscous liquid, countless eyes on the monster's face locked onto their direction.

Among them, the most targeted person is Anna.

"Prepare for battle."

Take out the driver and the watch face, and wear them all around your waist.

Fight with all your might and defeat the enemy in front of you.

This was the only thing Yan Ming knew.

After seeing Yan Ming's action, Anna paused for a moment, and then—she also took out her own weapon.

"You did the right thing. There's no time for you to do the thought-provoking questions now!"

Similarly, Merlin also casually swung his wand.

And so the battle began.

The monster had no mouth, but—everyone could still hear its exaggerated roar.

"Rider Time! Kamen Rider! Zi-O!"

"Final Form Time! E·E·E·Ex-Aid!"

The first to use the power of attack speed and defense is "invincible".

As the dimensional phantom attached itself to his body, Yan Ming's body instantly shone with an extreme golden light.

Decade: Invincible Player Armor

The moment the golden light flashed again, Yan Ming's figure had already disappeared from the spot.

next moment.

Having completely transformed into a mindless monster, Gorgon's entire body was suddenly illuminated by a series of star-like bursts of light.

boom--!!

An endless barrage of explosions erupted, with countless characters bearing the "Hit" symbol flashing in succession.

Neither Merlin nor Anna could keep up with everything that had just happened using only dynamic vision.

However, even so, it doesn't mean the battle will end easily.

Glug glug—

Gorgon, who had lost half of his body in an instant, recovered his original body almost instantly from the most basic cellular level.

and--

"Is the damaged area larger than before?"

Wings, claws, and internal organs—these parts actually became even larger after the recent burst of light.

Coming to his senses, Gorgon turned his gaze back to Anna.

"Don't get distracted, the battle has only just begun!"

Boom! Another dazzling purple beam flashed past.

Merlin raised his wand behind him, and in an instant he fired nearly dozens of streams of light, which exploded directly at Gorgon.

In contrast, the monsters that were already floating on the sea of ​​blood leaped up one after another.

Compared to their irregular bodies, they moved incredibly fast, almost instantly blocking all of Merlin's rays with their flesh, and their movements were completely erratic.

Anna raised her scythe-like weapon and drew out the purple chain from it.

Crash—!

The chains strung together countless monsters in one go, while another golden figure flashed by.

*Pfft!* In just a moment, all the monsters were blasted to the size of atoms.

Yan Ming landed with a series of numbers on his body. He looked at Anna beside him, who did not hesitate at all. She took a deep breath and gripped her weapon tightly.

"I'm fine...!"

Having confirmed the other party's situation, Yan Ming immediately came to his senses.

—A claw even larger than his body suddenly attacked him.

Boom—However, this attack was blocked.

To be precise... it's completely nullified.

Yan Ming stood still, the enormous claws merely hovering around him, unable to get close.

A wave of pure golden power filled the entire space, causing a distortion of spacetime.

The golden warrior slowly stretched out his hand, and a streak of extremely colorful light shot out instantly.

"Riding the Heisei Sword (Ride HeiSaber)!"

The sword blade, which shot out like a spinning dart, instantly sliced ​​through almost all the extended claws in front of it.

Yan Ming's body flashed forward, instantly moving to the airspace above where the sword blade was located.

Meanwhile, Gorgon below turned his gaze from Anna to him.

Countless attacks were needed to draw the opponent's attention to him, and at this moment—

The power to turn everything in the world into stone was activated instantly.

"Oh no! That move is—!!"

Anna shouted as soon as she saw through the opponent's attack.

Crack! Crack! The golden body turned to stone almost instantly.

The young man named Yan Ming will be imprisoned there forever; his power will never be able to break through this god-level petrification force, and he will be completely turned into a stone statue.

Bang——! !

Such a thing is simply impossible.

Not only was he unaffected, but he also grabbed Gorgon's head with his bare hands.

The golden figure hovered in mid-air, and then—five fingers clenched down instantly towards the inside of that face full of pupils.

*Pfft!*

Anna was stunned by what she saw, while Merlin avoided her gaze.

"This is so...appetizing!"

Yan Ming grabbed Gorgon's head, which was twisted into a jam-like mess, with one hand, directly altering his own strength and attack judgment.
