Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

However, he did not accept the gem from Teed's hand.

"…ah?"

At that moment, Tide stood there stunned in surprise.

No… he only noticed something at this point.

That is, the girl was always looking "behind her", and never looked at herself.

Could it be...?

Could it be—

He couldn't help but look at the girl's other hand, where she was holding a phone... which seemed to display someone's phone number.

"Your place—"

The instant Tide turned his head with a twitching expression, something was slapped at him.

Bang-!

That was a person's right foot.

Tide's entire body was instantly sent flying against the fence to the side. He looked behind him... and there was another man standing there.

That familiar person who appeared behind me without my noticing...

"Shilun...Yanming!"

In a voice that sounded almost insane, he slowly uttered his name.

Volume Nine: The Demon King Appears: Chapter 389 Possessing Divine Power, Yet Unable to Use It

Tede slowly got up from the ground.

He immediately adjusted his expression, casually wiping the blood from his mouth with his hand.

"It's nothing serious... Anyway, you actually came after all."

In fact, Yan Ming arrived at the scene just a moment ago.

Is that so?

After taking another look at the phone in the girl's hand, Tide suddenly realized what was going on.

"You've been calling this guy ever since I showed up..."

The girl had already dialed the phone when Tide appeared.

Although no one spoke, Yan Ming still confirmed the situation through the conversation between Tide and the girl over the phone.

As for how to confirm the girl's situation? Indeed, Yan Ming did not know the girl's specific information, nor did he know which school she attended... but he could find out through other means.

For example, one could use their computer skills to directly trace the source of a mobile phone signal.

Although this is illegal, who can care about such things at a time like this?

"...Is this a good idea?"

So, Tide, who had been kicked hard in the corner, stared at the girl behind Yan Ming as if she were glaring.

"You want to live your whole life in the shadow of being controlled by others, never able to lift your head... Is this the choice you've made for your own life? Never even thinking of resisting?"

Even though Tide said that, the man standing in front of the girl simply took a step forward without saying a word.

"…Oh well."

Realizing his words were no longer effective, Tide spat on the ground.

"Since he's all show and no substance, there's no point in trying to persuade him."

He spoke with such righteous indignation, yet he himself wasn't even ashamed...

At the same time, he slowly raised his hand.

hum-

With the back of his hand facing the sky, it slowly released a faint red glow…

"I'll just kill you all."

Boom! A golden beam of light shot straight onto the rooftop of the teaching building like a thunderbolt.

Yan Ming grabbed the girl's hand and pulled her back, instantly taking out the watch face he had been holding.

Time stood still.

Everything that was about to attack them froze in mid-air. Whether it was bricks thrown up by the shockwave or golden light flashing like lightning, everything stopped just a few meters away from the two of them.

But another figure appeared right at the center of the outbreak.

This is a monster covered in golden light and possessing a total of ten faces.

"The Ten-Faced Demon..."

Yan Ming couldn't help but look at Tide, who was standing directly opposite him, as if to express his doubt.

"Don't make a fuss. I never said that a tool that has been used once would not be used a second time."

Patting Ten-Faced Demon on the shoulder, Teed laughed again.

"And don't think this is the same level of trash as last time."

This moment.

The instant the Ten-Faced Genius was summoned... two beams of light of different colors appeared directly on his shoulders.

One gold and one silver.

"These two bracelets contain the essence of the ancient Inca civilization. With them, how much stronger do you think this guy would become?"

boom--!!

When the armlet-like object was fully attached to the Ten-Faced Demon's arm, an even greater power was instantly unleashed.

then.

Under the influence of that incredibly terrifying force, the school building could no longer withstand it.

Boom! Countless cracks instantly spread out, and then, the entire teaching building, and even the students inside... were all doomed.

That was not simply destruction.

Rather, it is the ability to break everything down to the atomic state or below... a godlike power.

In less than a second, the overwhelming force directly disintegrated everything within a radius of 100 meters.

but--

Buzz—!! The iridescent power surged across the same area, and everything froze, all things frozen in the moment before destruction.

"…I see."

Upon noticing this, Tide, who was standing to the side, revealed an expression of great interest.

"The 'Chirping Armband' and the 'Cackling Armband,' combined with the power of these two armbands, can even unleash power equal to that of a god."

That was a powerful weapon that originally belonged to Kamen Rider Amazon, but now it has been directly summoned to the body of the Ten-Faced Demon by Tid's ability.

Those who possess two armlets will have the ability to easily conquer the world, and will be as invincible as gods.

However, even so…

"Even with this level of power, it can't stop him from manipulating time...?"

Boom—Amidst the dust of the erupting power, two figures stood there unharmed.

Are you alright?

The girl seemed to have almost lost consciousness.

She had just seen an unimaginable burst of light and heat, and the world seemed to turn charred black.

My body felt incredibly uncomfortable... as if my entire body was about to crumble into particles.

All the pain suddenly stopped.

When she came to her senses, the man in front of her was still standing there, and the pain in her body, which had been so intense, had subsided.

After confirming the girl's safety, Yan Ming pressed the button on the other dial.

A silvery curtain, like a door, unfolded behind the girl.

“Go through here and you’ll reach a safe place. Everyone in this school is fine, so don’t worry about them.”

"...And what about you?"

"There are still things that must be done."

After speaking, Yan Ming turned around and looked straight ahead.

"So I will stay here myself."

At that moment... the girl seemed to recall the scene she had witnessed yesterday.

When I was being bullied by those people, when I was being threatened by that man who suddenly appeared... it seemed like he appeared suddenly and saved me just like that.

Why would someone do that...?

She had no relationship with him whatsoever, so why did he suddenly approach her and then protect her like this?

Confused as if the answer were destined to remain elusive, the girl shook her head, quickly passed through the mercury-like curtain, and left.

"Since she can't become a pawn, she has no value... kill her."

Boom! With a sonic boom, the Ten-Faced Demon, equipped with a double closed loop, flew straight forward.

But... someone suddenly appeared.

He blocked the Ten-Faced Demon head-on with the longsword he held directly in his hand.

The sword blade was stuck in front, sparks flew, and the man, who had somehow acquired a belt around his waist, used his free arm to fill the entire dial.

"Transformation."

While spinning his belt, Yan Ming placed his hands on the Time Limit Sword, pressing down directly towards the Ten-Faced Demon—

"Kamen Rider! Rider! Zi-O·Zi-O·Zi-OⅡ!"

On the rooftop, which seemed on the verge of collapsing at any moment, a golden figure was pressed down by another figure wrapped in a watch strap.

It was an overwhelming figure in silver and purple.

A demon king who reigns supreme over all knights, wantonly ruling over the concept of time, both on the surface and in the depths.

Ignoring the fact that his opponent was empowered by multiple forces, Yan Ming then drew another sword.

"Knight's Slash!"

Dozens of purple and white streaks of light flashed and intertwined.

Dozens of violent explosions erupted instantly from the chest of the Ten-Faced Demon.

boom!!

With each strike possessing the power to easily shatter mountains or mountain ranges, the Ten-Faced Demon's body was blasted straight away.

With a loud thud, the heavy figure landed on the ground below the rooftop.

Unharmed.

After enduring so many forces that ordinary Another Riders could not withstand, Ten-Faced Demon only had a few scratches on his body.

It raised its right hand again, this time the two rings on its arm flashed with golden and silver light, and smashed directly towards the teaching building.

Golden swivel armbands... and silver gaga armbands.

The combined power of the ancient Inca civilization will grant the Ten-Faced Demon the ability to disintegrate all things.

Even a direct contact, or even just the aftershock, is enough to instantly break down everything in the entire school into particles smaller than atoms.

Unfortunately.

—This future has already been predicted.

"...?!"

The Ten-Faced Demon suddenly widened his eyes and looked around in shock.
