Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

"Could it be... that these guys have also been enhanced?"

It was only at this point that Tide realized something.

The Extreme Player's Ex-Aid... He had two figures, which meant that Yan Ming summoned two Ex-Aids at the same time and completely merged their powers together.

But this is not the end.

Inside the 2009 time portal, the black and yellow W extended its flexible arms and instantly wrapped around Tide's body, slamming him to the ground.

Boom! A wave of flames, defying the laws of nature, erupted, easily disintegrating W before its eyes.

However, the portal opened again.

In the 2009 door, the extreme W—with its green, silver, and black colors—swung at him with a heavy sword wrapped in colorful threads.

Bang! Caught completely off guard.

Teed's figure rapidly retreated across the surface of the massive meteorite, leaving his footprints in the rocky ground, and then—

"Fighting Spirit Unleashed! Boost! Omgea Drive!"

"Maximum Rider Power!"

Ghost transforms into Fighting Spirit form, and Kabuto into Hyper form.

One person leaps down from a great height, while the other suddenly approaches at super-high speed in Hyper Clock Up mode.

This... thing!

Having already seen through the enemy's mere super-accelerated state, Teed clenched his fist and swung it forward at the same super-fast speed.

however.

Just as they were about to be hit, the two knights suddenly underwent a strange change.

In other words, they are combined into one.

Ghost and Kabuto merged into another knight, their entire bodies suddenly transforming into endless particles.

"What—tsk?!"

The W and Ex-Aid were also merged together, their physical forms becoming entirely new, and even their powers were perfectly integrated.

"Xtreme! Maximum Drive!"

"Maximum Critical Break!"

The history of knights is intertwined.

The ultimate techniques that attacked Teed from two different angles far surpassed the strength of a single knight and were approaching the level that could harm Teed.

Boom—!!

However, Teed still concentrated all his strength in his hands and forcefully grabbed both of their feet.

"Get out of here."

boom!!

The two heavy punches, one golden and one red, possessed a destructive power capable of destroying even a planet, instantly turning both knights into countless particles.

However, he failed to notice one thing.

What exactly is Yan Ming, who is even stronger than these knights, doing?

Om-! !

The next moment, he finally knew the answer.

There were nineteen iridescent time portals, each like a coat of arms, fully unfolding beneath his feet…!

"Wh-what?!"

"Drink up—!!"

"Haa!"

"Go to hell!"

Boom boom boom boom—!!! Nineteen different colored knight kicks flew out from all the time portals together.

Yan Ming summoned nineteen Kamen Riders at the same time, launching a fierce attack from the same point, instantly blasting Tide into the sky.

"How is that possible! They're just a bunch of natives living in a world with their own limited perspective. How could they possibly unleash power levels that you shouldn't have? You Kamen Riders shouldn't have such destructive power—"

"I think you've probably already noticed."

In the endless void and universe, the Demon King's voice, in an unknown form, reached his ears.

"You keep saying that the Kamen Rider worldview is nothing to brag about, but aren't you the one who cares most about the strength and destructive power of the Riders?"

"—!!"

At this time, the celestial body named Mars had also been fully restored.

The enormous planet instantly crammed Tide's body into its interior, extending tens of kilometers away—

"Stop joking!"

boom--!!!

But the next moment, the newly restored Mars was shattered from the inside again.

Dark Wave Palm.

At some point, Tide's eyes had completely turned into an ultimate black, and he even gathered some kind of purplish-black energy in his hand and shot it straight at Yan Ming.

The aftershocks alone were enough to burn up all the Martian debris.

That unparalleled, exaggerated power was heading straight for Yan Ming, however—

He simply touched one of the reliefs on his body.

"Kuuga!"

--boom!

At a height of thirty meters, a huge black and gold sealed energy icon instantly appeared, completely taking the brunt of the attack.

Yan Ming, on the other hand, smashed the surface of the sealed energy with a punch, shattering it into pieces.

But the shattered fragments drifted through the universe—and instead transformed directly into countless cards.

That's right, cards.

They were all driving cards engraved with the Decade logo.

They flew irregularly around Tide, transforming into a combination of aurora curtains and time-space portals.

The golden demon king flew out directly from those curtains and launched a flying kick at Tide.

Boom! Endless explosions erupted one after another in the universe.

In the instant he waved his hand, time on Mars was restored to its perfect state, and Yan Ming continued to stand in the universe, looking ahead.

—Teed has disappeared.

When he came to his senses, a tremendous commotion was already erupting behind him.

Outside the solar system.

There is a force expanding wildly like a black hole... constantly devouring everything.

The King of Gold remained suspended in the universe, calmly placing his hand on his waist.

On the buttons of those two dials.

"Finish Time! Grand Zi-O!"

Bang-!

The figures of the twenty knights were projected into a circle and appeared completely behind Yan Ming, who was bursting with golden energy.

Volume Nine: The Demon King Appears: Chapter 447 Resetting Everything to Zero

"Haa...!"

The battle has been going on for a long time.

But no matter how hard Teede tries.

The gap seems only to widen.

"How... is that possible?"

That was what I thought when I was thrown into the center of the planet.

That was the thought that arose after the other party exceeded one's expectations with an even more extraordinary performance.

"That guy is using... isn't it the power of Grand Zi-O? Why? How can he become so strong?"

I can't understand.

The nature and magnitude of the dial should not have changed. It is a power that is no different from Tokiwa Sougo's. Why did it become that intensity in his hands?

Or was the other party hiding their strength from the beginning?

No matter what ideas he had, they couldn't resolve Teed's current confusion because—he couldn't accept it.

Whether it's this world, the world of magical girls, or any other worldview... the strength of those characters should have already been fixed.

Strong is strong, and weak is weak. As a resident born into the world of knights, Teed knows very well what level of combat power is considered normal in this world.

The strength displayed by Shilun Yanming far exceeds what a mere Kamen Rider should possess.

Could it be that he, like himself, has also grasped the truth of this world... and thus secretly stitched together the powers of other worlds...?

"No, impossible... I should be the only one who knows about this. That guy... he's just a mere native of the knight world... a mere native!"

Looking across countless universes and worlds, only Tide knows that all worlds are merely works of art created by a higher being.

Everyone else except him is just a bunch of fools living in their own worldviews, thinking they're something special, but in reality they're just laughable useless puppets created by others. That's right, only he knows the truth of the world.

Therefore, he looked down on those people, on the monster legions in the Kamen Rider world who only cared about moving around the Kamen Riders, and on those who thought they were very strong but were actually just weaklings with low combat power who couldn't even destroy the Earth or the universe.

Teed felt a strong sense of superiority about this.

He clearly understood that he had been given a mission by that eye-like thing. Only he was conscious; everyone else in the world was unaware that they were merely characters created by others. And Tide, who knew this, wanted to be superior. He wanted to be more noble than these natives living inside the world, because he knew that outside these worlds lay a far more vast world, one that was unattainable for them—!

But now, that man named Shilun Yanming has broken this rule.

He clearly didn't know that he was just an existence created by someone else, and he clearly didn't receive the same favor from that eye as Teedo; he was just a guy who somehow obtained the power of Zi-O... So why was he able to be like him? To unleash the power of a mere Kamen Rider to a level far exceeding its original strength?

He couldn't accept this fact—yes, he was indignant.

Does he know that Kamen Riders are just a bunch of trash who can't even smash the Earth or destroy the universe? Does he know that the Kamen Riders are just created characters, nothing more than a bunch of broken words in a book? If he doesn't know—then how did he become so strong?!

The only person who could become so strong and transcend worldviews should be himself. Why would a second person like him appear?

Therefore, seeing how strong Yan Ming was, Tide felt a nameless anger rise in his heart as well.

Only then do I have the right to become stronger.

Only I am qualified to create an existence that transcends all worldviews; only I am qualified to be the most special one. I know more about Kamen Rider and all sorts of worlds than anyone else. I am the chosen one. The power that this eye gave me proves that I was born with an extraordinary mission, destined to do this great thing.

That's right, that little bug is no match for me at all.

"...I feel much better now."

Negative emotions, as filthy as a drainpipe, kept welling up from Tide's heart, but ironically, they gave him the strength and will to keep going.

When he came to his senses, Teed had unknowingly moved far away from the area he had just been in.

A vast and boundless radiance, a beautiful world that no human can reach, where the things that combine between galaxies transform into incomparably graceful flowing rivers, offering a breathtaking 360-degree view of the entire sky.

This is outside the Milky Way, within the Virgo Supercluster, a place that seems to truly encompass the entire world, a place that humanity could never reach no matter how many years of effort it puts in.

Teed is standing right here, above the nothingness of this vast starry sky.

The solar system is completely invisible now. In the end, the solar system and Earth are nothing more than tiny specks of dust in the universe. Destroying those things is really no big deal.

Such thoughts arose in Teed's mind.

But no matter what, he must achieve his goal.

That's right.

He was determined to see for himself what lay at the end of all the worlds, no matter how many innocent lives it cost.
