Ace Ukiyo is like a fox, so he won't act impulsively unless his sensitive spot is touched.
Instead, he has his own ideas.
Given the current situation, unless there's other help, the only chance to defeat him is after he wins this DGP Grand Prix and becomes the Desire God.
Because of Sam, the Stellaron Hunter's appearance, the wish he wrote down changed this time.
At this moment, Ace Ukiyo faced Sam again. Instead of showing resentment or hatred, he took a few steps closer to her and put down his water gun as a gesture of goodwill.
Of course, the main reason was that even at its maximum power, a water gun couldn't do anything to the Knight before him.
So, the clever fox was primarily using this to represent his attitude.
"Stellaron Hunter Sam, you're targeting the DGP Grand Prix, aren't you?"
"It's none of your business."
Sam held a poker card Jyamato in her hand, and this Jyamato couldn't resist her power at all.
Completely ignoring Ace Ukiyo, she focused her gaze on another Jyamato. The poker card Jyamato in her hand perfectly matched the one she held.
This was why she came attacking!
Sam had appeared before, but in this round, the number of Jyamato was extremely small, not enough to farm points.
More importantly, they couldn't be completely killed by normal means.
Fortunately, having watched the plot, she had a general understanding of the rules.
Concentration, a very classic card game.
Lay out a deck of poker cards face down on the table.
Then, players take turns flipping over cards.
If two cards have the same suit and number (i.e., Diamonds and Hearts are the red group, Clubs and Spades are the black group), they are collected and scored.
If they don't match, the cards are flipped back face down.
This type of card game is called Concentration because it heavily tests the player's memory.
And these poker card Jyamato corresponded to this game. Especially after Sam defeated a poker card Jyamato and saw the suit that popped up, combined with the Concentration card game, she understood how to break through this round.
As long as she found the poker card Jyamato with the corresponding suit and number, and defeated them simultaneously.
She could resolve them all!
After Sam successfully defeated a pair of poker card Jyamato, she triggered an achievement quest.
If she cleared all the poker card Jyamato here, she would directly receive 1000 points.
Although she couldn't farm points, the reward was quite good.
After she cleared some of the poker card Jyamato, the remaining Jyamato in her hand couldn't find its counterpart.
It wasn't until Ace Ukiyo and Nene Arakawa appeared that it found one...
Sam grabbed the Jyamato in her hand and appeared directly in front of the other Jyamato, destroying them both simultaneously.
"They were completely killed, no revival!"
Nene Arakawa, standing nearby, watched this scene in astonishment. After Sam destroyed these two Jyamato, they didn't revive.
So powerful!
Speaking of which, Firefly-chan is from the same faction as this Stellaron Hunter Sam, right?
Did she appear here because of the Oddity she has?
Although Nene Arakawa was very curious, she rationally didn't ask any more questions, just watched Sam clear the poker card Jyamato with curiosity.
"As expected..."
After observing Sam's actions, Ace Ukiyo confirmed his previous guess. This was indeed the rule.
It required two people in a team to cooperate to defeat the corresponding Jyamato. No wonder the lineup this time was a team. But for Sam, with absolute power, one person could also accomplish it. She was too violent!
He didn't rush to start "stealing monsters" and couldn't possibly win against the Stellaron Hunter before him anyway.
Instead, he was more curious about other things.
Although Sam appeared very cold, Ace Ukiyo didn't give up and spoke again.
"Appearing so brazenly again and interfering with the Grand Prix, aren't you worried the DGP administration will take action?"
"So what? Do you think I'm you?"
Casually crushing another pair of Jyamato, Sam replied indifferently upon hearing Ace Ukiyo's words.
"...You seem to know a lot about me?"
Sam's answer made Ace Ukiyo ponder.
From that short sentence, he learned a lot from Sam. The Stellaron Hunter before him was very strong and didn't care about the administration at all.
She even seemed to be expecting the DGP administration to intervene.
Furthermore, she seemed to understand his situation, perhaps even knowing about his search for his mother.
"…Who knows."
Ace Ukiyo's retort caught Firefly off guard, and she immediately realized her words had revealed too much.
After all, she wasn't entirely Firefly.
The naive, simple-minded Firefly would have been completely oblivious even if all her secrets were pried out. Especially during her conversations with Acheron, she had unknowingly spilled almost everything.
Yet, she hadn't gotten a single piece of information from Acheron.
Perhaps for this reason, Elio had given Firefly very few lines in the script.
He already understood Firefly's situation and personality.
Realizing this, Sam stopped cooperating with Ace Ukiyo.
However, thinking of something, Firefly couldn't help but say to him.
"Your direction has never been wrong, but your efficiency is almost zero."
"How pathetic."
His attempt to find his mother from two thousand years ago through the DGP Grand Prix was not wrong. The Creation Goddess was his mother, but after two thousand years, this was all he had achieved…
His mother was already on her last legs.
"What do you mean?"
Ace Ukiyo's expression instantly turned serious. Had something happened to his mother?
But Sam didn't waste any more words with him, instead looking to the side.
The target had finally entered the arena.
Not far away, a figure wearing a Game Master's uniform, a white suit with black trench coat decorations, and a face hidden by a special mask had appeared at some point.
It was the Game Master, Guelorey.
Sam casually threw away the poker card Jyamato in his hand, focusing his attention on the newcomer.
In comparison, the Knight buckle on the administrator's waist was more important.
However, his strength was far above that of other Knights, possessing direct administrative authority and completely unreasonable combat privileges.
It was less about being powerful and more about having authority.
For an ordinary Kamen Rider, or an ordinary Path walker, dealing with him might have been difficult.
But with the power of the Stellaron Hunter Sam, it was not a problem at all.
What's more, her power did not belong to the opponent's management system.
Chapter 38: The Dominant System! Kamen Rider Kyomei!
"Stellaron Hunter, Sam!"
"You actually dare to show up again. Do you truly have no regard for our DGP operations."
Guelorey stared intently at the Stellaron Hunter before him, as if looking at a dead person.
Even though his appearance had caused the viewership ratings of the DGP Grand Prix to increase, there were also many dissatisfied voices.
More importantly, his repeated appearances had disrupted the normal progression of the DGP's game, causing the DGP operations team considerable distress.
If they allowed him to continue causing trouble, the DGP Grand Prix would have to be canceled.
It completely violated the rules of the DGP Grand Prix.
Therefore, he had to be eliminated!
"You finally appeared, Guelorey."
Sam kicked away a nearby poker card Jyamato, took a few steps towards Guelorey, showing no fear of his appearance, but rather full of anticipation.
"What?"
Hearing Sam's words, Guelorey's expression changed slightly.
What did he mean by that? Was everything done to make him enter the arena? What did he want to do? What was his purpose?
And more crucially, how did this guy know his name?
Everything was planned.
He was targeting the DGP Grand Prix, targeting him.
"Who exactly are you?"
Guelorey's eyes were filled with suspicion. He had already had some guesses when he spoke with Nilam.
He had spoken of their DGP Future People's situation, knew everything, and that power did not belong to the DGP Knight system.
It was not even affected by the Goddess's power…
Was he a spectator hidden in the shadows, or someone who had directly snuck over from the future?
After all, even in the future, there were many criminals, and those guys would do anything to satisfy their twisted desires.
A significant portion of the DGP operations and audience were already extremely depraved, but they wouldn't even qualify as passing the mark among those Future People.
For example, the future wanted criminal "God Slayer Mela," a notorious fugitive from the future, travels through various eras to kill gods and is known as the "God Slayer."
In the Norse mythology era, he killed Loki and stole his mimicry ability, impersonating Hodur to kill Baldur.
After killing Susanoo from Japanese mythology, he took aim at Ace Ukiyo's era, following Melo's advice.
He finds joy in destroying worlds, repeatedly traveling to various dimensions to set new records for the fastest world destruction.
Those heinous future fugitives are incredibly troublesome individuals.
"..."
Sam did not reply, she understood her own personality.
The more she spoke, the more mistakes she'd make. Engaging him would only expose too much information about herself. It was better to act directly and obtain what she desired.
Thus, Sam moved her body and charged directly at Guelorey, intending to eliminate him and seize the Vision Launcher.
Noticing Sam's movement, Guelorey instinctively took a step back, not daring to be careless.
He wasn't like those Kamen Riders who would first engage in unarmed combat before transforming once they were seriously injured.
Although, Kamen Riders' injuries would usually be healed by the time they transformed.
The moment he saw Sam make her move, Guelorey directly revealed the Administrator Belt on his waist—the Vision-Drive.
(Vision Driver!)
Unlike the Desire Drivers of other participants, this Driver required corresponding fingerprints and a Heaven's Will Card to be used.
