Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

Yan Ming nodded, indicating that the soldiers could take all the people from the Slane Theocracy away.

"Wait, wait a minute, Lord Yan Ming! Lord Ainz Ooal Gown! If you want money, I'll give you any amount you want, so—so please spare my life!!"

Ugly and unbearable aspects of human nature.

Ignoring Nigan, who was being held back, Yan Ming turned his attention to Ainz Ooal Gown beside him.

He noticed that the other person seemed to be staring intently at him as well.

"what happened?"

"No...it's nothing."

Ainz Ooal Gown shook his head and walked to the other side.

Albedo, as a subordinate, also followed.

“Lord Ainz, I remember you… told me before that you planned to send these human soldiers to Nazarick, and then extract information from them and conduct live experiments through interrogation and torture.”

"I did have that idea."

"Eh? So... you're not planning to do that now?"

For Ainz Ooal Gown, if he could make good use of these Slane Theocracy guys, they would definitely bring him a lot of useful information.

Moreover, it's not just about intelligence; it can also yield entirely new results in live experiments.

As a powerful necromancer, Ainz Ooal Gown naturally possesses the ability to forcibly transform corpses or living people into undead soldiers.

Does this ability actually work for humans in this world? He hasn't tested it yet, but...

If these scum of the Slane Church were used for human experiments, they could probably obtain many valuable results.

Albedo also thought these things were all very worthwhile, so why was that?

Why doesn't Ainz Ooal Gown intend to continue?

"That person has a more humanistic personality."

"…Yes."

"If he knew that we were going to use those Slane Theocracy soldiers for things like live experiments and cruel torture, I think he would never be able to admit it."

"Please forgive my bluntness, but as the great and supreme being, why should you care about the thoughts of a mere human? He is not one of the supreme beings you have known in the past. In my opinion, you have absolutely no need to change what you are doing for such a lowly human!"

"Wow...that's quite a strong reaction, Albedo."

Ainz Ooal Gown quickly waved his hand at her, signaling his subordinate to keep his voice down.

"He, like me, is from another world! Until we fully understand the situation, we'd better not do anything that might upset him!"

"But…"

"Furthermore, I haven't confirmed whether he is actually a YGGDRASIL player, and even if he isn't, I still need to treat this person with extreme caution."

Ainz Ooal Gown hurriedly tried to appease his subordinates, saying that he was clearly the one in charge, so why did he always feel like he was being led by the nose?

"In any case, let's put aside the idea of ​​prying for information for now. There will be plenty of opportunities to learn about this world in the future. Besides... I actually feel more comfortable obtaining information through legitimate means."

Ainz Ooal Gown wasn't the kind of person who was cold-blooded and ruthless. If he were to personally conduct interrogations or live experiments, even though he wouldn't feel uncomfortable or disgusted as an undead, he would still feel aversion to it due to his personality and mindset.

Moreover, he doesn't have any malicious quirks at all, so naturally he wouldn't want to do these things on his own initiative.

…Although many of his subordinates do have these quirks.

"It looks like the soldiers have all left."

After discussing the situation with Albedo, Ainz Ooal Gown came to Yan Ming again.

The people of the Slane Theocracy had all been taken away by Gazef's army, and now, only the three of them remained on this grassland-like land.

Are you planning to return to the village, or perhaps go somewhere else?

“My companion who traveled with me is still in the village. I can’t just leave him there alone.”

"I see... Well then, please excuse us for taking our leave for now."

Ainz Ooal Gown nodded and then opened a portal using spatial magic.

That was the tunnel leading into the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

"I hope we will meet again in the future... no, we will definitely meet again in the future."

"If there is anything I can help you with, I will do my best to assist you."

"The same principle applies to me."

There's no need for further words between the two sides.

"Well then, goodbye."

After leaving behind his last words, the skeletal figure vanished from the plain along with the black-clad knight.

Now only Yan Ming was left.

It was getting late, almost evening.

Yan Ming got back on the motorcycle. He didn't plan to use the Aurora Veil's ability to teleport back directly, but instead wanted to ride the motorcycle back.

Firstly, he wanted to enjoy the scenery of this world a little longer, and secondly... he also wanted to make sure that nothing would happen to the soldiers under Gazef's command.

He picked up his helmet and started the motorcycle engine.

Right at this moment.

A curtain as smooth as mercury suddenly appeared before him.

"..."

Aurora curtain.

That was Kamen Rider Decade's ability, and Yan Ming was well aware of it.

Because, right now, the only tool that can unleash that power, the Decade Control Watch, is still in his hands.

That means that in this world, only he himself can use this ability.

He watched the aurora-covered curtain before him warily.

This thing... he didn't open it at all!

"It's really causing quite a stir."

The sound came from the other side of the curtain.

Through the mercury-silver wall, Yan Ming could clearly see a man's figure slowly walking out.

The curtain vanished into the space in an instant.

What appeared before Yan Ming was a peculiar man with a unique temperament.

A black coat with a magenta lining.

He wore a camera of the same color and style around his neck.

After emerging from behind the curtain, the man first looked around at the world, then used his camera to take a snapshot of Yan Ming in front of him.

Click.

A not-so-clear photo popped out of the camera.

"...So it really is true. Even in this other world of swords and magic, the world still rejects me?"

He shook his head helplessly.

Yan Ming got out of the car and calmly looked at the other person.

Who are you?

"Ah, don't rush."

The man waved to Yan Ming with a seemingly nonchalant expression.

"You are the new Demon King, aren't you?"

"..."

"I heard about it. Wasn't it that guy named Woz who recently promoted him?"

Even in the face of this sudden situation, Yan Ming remained calm.

The man couldn't help but smile.

"Tsukasa Kadoya, that's my name. What's yours?"

"Shilun Yanming".

"Hmm... Tokiwa, it's pronounced the same as Tokiwa Sougo's Tokiwa... How interesting."

Tsukasa Kadoya—the man who called himself that—slightly increased the distance between himself and Yan Ming.

"Don't worry, I'm not your enemy."

then.

As he said this, Tsukasa Kadoya immediately put something around his waist.

Driver.

It's magenta, and the driver is engraved with more than a dozen different knight emblems.

"only."

Tsukasa Kadoya reached for the white card case at the edge of the driver.

At this moment, Yan Ming had already grasped the watch face in his hand.

"Although I do not intend to become your enemy, I am not clear about your situation."

"I still know a little about the former Demon Lord, Tokiwa Sougo, but as for you... I know nothing about you except that you are the new Demon Lord."

"so."

He took out a card.

It was precisely because Yan Ming was able to effectively use Decade to control the dial that he clearly understood what the cards in the other party's hand meant.

"Although I am not your enemy, I still want to communicate with you in a more friendly way to get to know each other."

He said something that was difficult to understand.

The reason it is said to be meaningless is because it is almost impossible to guess what he was thinking that led him to say these things.

Tsukasa Kadoya used one hand to pull open the driver on his waist.

"You seemed to have just asked me who I was?"

He held up the card and tapped it slightly with his index finger.

"I'm just a Kamen Rider who's passing by... Remember that, junior."

In that instant, Yan Ming made a move that was almost identical to his.

Tsukasa Kadoya couldn't help but smile.

He immediately inserted the card into the drive and then closed it with one hand.

"Kamen Ride! Decade!"

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

It has transformed.

At the same moment, the two people made almost the same decision.

Yan Ming's body was surrounded by a silver dial, while Kadoya Tsukasa's body was covered by countless afterimages.

The purple three-dimensional lettering clashed with the magenta sign.

Then, they attached themselves to the corresponding top of the head.

Yan Ming goes without saying, and the state that Kadoya Tsukasa transformed into was very similar to that of the Decade Armor.

It was armor made of magenta and black, then accented with white.

The chest was shaped like a cross, and the helmet had green compound eyes. The cards were all stuck in the helmet area.

Kamen Rider Decade.
