Starting with Firefly, Speedrunning the World

Then, while continuously killing Jyamato, he charged the weapon in his hand. Before long, the charge was complete... and he smoothly removed the other buckle from the weapon.

Without a moment's hesitation, he inserted the buckle into the other side of the activator.

[Take Off Complete JET ＆ CANNON! Ready Fight]

"Raise Strength! Command Twin Buckle!"

With the sound, under the enhancement of the Command Twin Buckle, Geats directly entered his strengthened form—Command Form: Cannon Mode.

Where only his head had changed before, Geats was now fully armed from head to toe.

His chest, shoulders, and arms were covered in Cannon Armor, and a pair of cannons capable of firing and delivering heavy firepower appeared on his back and shoulders.

His legs were covered in Jet Armor. A pair of Mechanical Wings with high jumping ability emerged at his lower back.

Chapter 27: Command Twin Victory!

"This power..."

"Though it doesn't perfectly suit me, it's still incredibly strong."

Entering the complete state, Ace Ukiyo felt the power brought by the Twin Buckle, a hint of joy in his heart. He naturally knew that Booster plus Magnum was the most fitting buckle combination for Geats.

But to deal with that Stellaron Hunter, the previous battle had already proven that was far from enough.

Unless he could go a step further and enhance based on the Booster Buckle and Magnum Buckle—but how could that be possible?

He had never seen such a buckle!

Booster was already a top-tier buckle.

But now, with this buckle, it was enough to handle him. Though it was his first time using this unfamiliar buckle, as a fox who had lived for two thousand years and participated in the DGP Grand Prix for most of that life...

He had almost fully mastered this power.

Or rather, any buckle could be skillfully used by him.

That was Geats.

"So..."

Ace Ukiyo looked ahead at the Mecha Warrior figure that had almost finished clearing the Zombie Jyamato, absolute confidence in himself shining in his eyes.

He raised the sword in his hand, and a crisp snap of his fingers rang out.

"Next up—this is my moment to shine!"

From here on, the one who would win was him.

As long as he believed in himself, carrying this wish, the world would repay him in kind.

Now, there weren't many Zombie Jyamato left. With Points lagging behind, the only way to secure victory was to defeat this game-breaking intruder.

With the Jet Device under his feet, Ace Ukiyo's figure swiftly appeared before Sam.

"Now, let me be your opponent, Stellaron Hunter Sam."

The moment his voice fell, the cannons on Ace Ukiyo's shoulders fired a barrage of homing energy bullets straight at Sam.

At the same time, Ace Ukiyo—Geats himself—charged at Sam with his sword.

The Rising Sword in his hand slashed toward Sam alongside the cannon fire, a massive wave of sword energy sweeping across.

Sam had just raised a hand to block the energy cannon attack when the next second, the sword energy from the Rising Sword struck him. His entire form was engulfed in the explosion.

Watching this, the Future Person and Geats' Top Supporter, Gene, lit up with joy. As expected of the Geats he supported—he never let him down.

Meanwhile, the others, even the Game Master, watched with tense and serious expressions.

But before they could think further, Sam burst out of the flames completely unscathed, his figure appearing before Ace Ukiyo in an instant. His mechanical fist swung at him without mercy.

Sensing this, Ace Ukiyo, who deeply understood Sam's overwhelming strength, dodged at the first moment.

The Mechanical Wings with high jumping ability deployed from his lower back, followed by the Jet Device activating, allowing him to barely evade the blow.

But he was still knocked off balance by the powerful air current, nearly unable to steady himself.

"Not enough. That's all you've got."

Sam didn't pursue, merely looking at the Geats before him.

Though his power was decent now, it still couldn't harm Sam in the slightest. The previous attack had no effect at all.

To Sam, the current Geats was like a moth flying into a flame—courting his own destruction.

But Sam believed that even a moth could turn the tide, just like herself—a firefly charging into the flames, seeking life through death.

Moreover, Ace Ukiyo indeed had that trump card. He was the child of the Creation Goddess, inheriting her Creation Power.

If he could unleash that power within him, everything would be completely different.

Only then would he be qualified to become her true opponent.

But ordinary stimulation would hardly trigger that power—unless it involved something related to his mother. However, Firefly had no interest in that.

Otherwise, how would she be any different from those Future People!

Ace Ukiyo didn't give up. After putting some distance between them, he struck again.

He charged at Sam, fighting on two fronts simultaneously—cannon fire hammering nonstop while the Rising Sword in his hand never stopped swinging.

But Sam couldn't be bothered to lift a finger, standing tall with hands clasped behind their back, letting him attack freely.

The barrier of Destruction Path power wrapped around them, effortlessly blocking every strike.

Ace Ukiyo's face turned grim as he stared at Sam, who seemed even more arrogant than himself. Without wasting more time, he stepped back and pressed the button on the Command Cannon Buckle to lock onto his enemy.

As he flipped the Twin Buckle, blue energy gathered from the cannon on his shoulder, and the Mechanical Wings at his waist extended backward, stabbing into the ground to anchor him.

[Command Twin Victory!]

The next moment, an intensely powerful beam erupted from the cannon port above his form, blasting straight toward Sam.

Watching the Geats' movements before him, Sam, still with hands clasped behind their back, finally stirred. The instant the beam shot forward, they began to act.

"Action! Execute!"

"Destruction Path, empower!"

[BHF—Blazing Fire Propulsion!]

Driven by a fierce blast of flames and empowered by the Destruction Path, Sam turned into a streak of light, ignoring the beam's attack entirely as they charged straight at Geats.

The Geats, mid-execution of his powerful finishing move, was knocked out cold by a single punch from Sam, spitting out a mouthful of acid.

His body hurtled backward, tumbling across the ground several times before stopping. Then his Rider transformation armor couldn't hold, and he reverted to his original form.

The undefeated legend of Kamen Rider Geats had fallen once more at the hands of the Stellaron Hunters.

"Even that guy..."

"There's no way we can win. What do we do?"

"What's he going to do next? He's not coming for us, is he?"

Watching Geats suddenly get strong, then get beaten, with no one knowing if he was alive or dead, the other contestants didn't dare make a move.

If Geats and Buffa—the two strongest Riders—had both been KO'd, what chance did the rest of them have?

What worried them more now was whether this Stellaron Hunter would keep coming after them.

Probably not, right?

He'd gone after Buffa and Geats because they attacked Sam first. They hadn't laid a hand on him, so it should be fine.

Besides, Neko and Tycoon seemed to be getting along with him just fine earlier! He'd even gone out of his way to rescue survivors and clean up the Zombie Jyamato. He must be a good guy, right?

Thinking that, most of them calmed down.

In fact, with the two strongest rivals taken out, it actually worked in their favor! Something to be happy about...

But looking at the competition Points, the Zombie Jyamato were almost gone, and Neko and Tycoon had pulled ahead of everyone thanks to their rescue efforts.

At this rate, those two would be the winners.

Just as everyone's minds were tangled in complicated thoughts, the Stellaron Hunter they'd taken for a good guy struck again—and this time, it was a killing blow.

Chapter 28: The Stellaron Hunters Send You Off on Your Final Journey

In an instant, Sam's figure appeared beside Kamen Rider Pandra, behind Nene Arakawa, and directly grabbed his head.

"Spare... spare me..."

Pandra tried to beg for mercy.

He hadn't expected Sam to suddenly go after him. He hadn't provoked him—he was just about to attack Neko.

Yes, he was about to strike at Neko.

Seeing Nene Arakawa and Keiwa Sakurai at the top of the Points rankings, and knowing he'd already been infected by the Zombie Jyamato and was probably done for, he wanted to take someone down with him before he died. He'd chosen Neko.

But just as he was about to succeed, this unknown figure had locked onto him.

Pandra kept begging, but Sam didn't give him the chance. They mercilessly killed him on the spot.

The sight stunned everyone, especially Nene Arakawa, who stood frozen. She'd thought he was the perfect Rider in her heart—even when he went after Geats and Buffa, it was because they'd started it, so Sam couldn't be blamed.

But now this...

Unimaginable. He'd suddenly attacked Pandra, and without a shred of mercy.

Watching Pandra get eliminated, his body vanishing completely... Nene Arakawa covered her mouth and stumbled back a few steps. The other contestants had lost their earlier relief, fear creeping back in.

Seeing their reactions, Sam didn't bother to explain.

But they still saw no sign of the Game Master appearing, and couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed.

"Since that's the case, let's end it here!"

Since the Game Master wouldn't show, Firefly didn't dwell on it.

If they didn't come out this time, she'd keep trying later.

She didn't believe they'd never show—sooner or later, they'd have to crack.

She then turned her gaze to the contestants before her, and terrifying flames suddenly erupted from her body, dazzling special effects swirling around her.

"As for you..."

"When you go back, make sure to tell all Future People!"

"It was the Stellaron Hunters who sent you off."

The moment the words fell, in the terrified eyes of the crowd, Sam shot into the sky, then transformed into a streak of light and crashed down at their center.

In an instant, all the contestants were sent flying by that fearsome force!

But Sam had deliberately held back; this power wasn't enough to kill them, though injury was unavoidable.

Hopefully, after this, they would give up on continuing to participate in the DGP Grand Prix.

Because from now on, the DGP would become even more dangerous.

"Damn it!"

"They have no regard for us, the DGP operators."

Watching the scene displayed on the screen, Guelorey instantly became furious.

He hadn't expected things to turn out this way—that Stellaron Hunter had come purely to crash the event, targeting their DGP specifically.

Did they really think the DGP operators would be afraid of him?
