Girori quickly authenticated his login using his thumbprint.
Glare! Log-In! (Glare! Log-In!)
He immediately took out the matching Fate Card and swiped it along the side of his belt.
"Transform!"
Glare, Log In! (...?) ×N Install! DOMINATE A SYSTEM: GLARE! Install! DOMINATE-A-SYSTEM! GLARE! (Install! Dominate the System! Glare!)
Accompanied by an incomparably cool, high-and-mighty authorization voice effect, five purple rings formed behind him, floated above his head, and began moving about erratically.
Purple streams of light flickered endlessly.
As the five rings scanned his entire body, he assumed a posture as though data itself were ascending...
Kamen Rider Glare made his entrance!
This was the Game Master's power—no, it should be called privilege.
This belt could not only activate a portion of the Creation Goddess's power, but also freely establish the rules of the Desire Grand Prix.
As long as someone obtained this belt and the Game Master's fingerprint, they could even hold a Jyamato Grand Prix like Beroba, or some other Grand Prix.
Of course, this belt's greatest value still lay in the Creation Goddess's power.
Without this belt, even the Producer could not make the Creation Goddess grant wishes.
As long as he got this belt, many things would become much simpler.
Sam had already appeared before Girori and threw a punch at him.
The transformed Girori immediately swung out an arm. The three spherical devices on his body formed a triangular barrier in front of him.
Clang!!
The collision caused the surrounding air to explode.
Girori's body felt a wave of discomfort, but he still steadied himself. Beneath his feet, however, the ground had already cracked apart completely.
If he had not transformed into Kamen Rider Glare, whose stats surpassed people's imagination, who knew what would have happened.
In most situations, Glare could block all attacks.
"Stellaron Hunter Sam, I admit that you are powerful."
"But you should never have offended the DGP."
"You will never know what kind of power lies behind DGP operations."
"Your strength may be enough to deal with those Riders, but unfortunately, you are facing me."
"Let me see who you really are."
As he spoke, Girori raised his left hand and gave it a haughty flick.
The next moment, the remaining two control devices on his Rider armor detached as well. Together with the previous three, all five spherical control devices floated around him.
These things could invade Rider systems, forcibly manipulate them, and turn their opponents into puppets.
Of course, that was generally only useful against weaker opponents. Against someone of equal strength, controlling them was extremely difficult.
Besides invading systems, they could also serve as super floating cannons and unleash devastating attacks.
"Execute!"
Sam did not waste words with him and simply attacked.
The propulsion system activated, and he charged toward Girori at astonishing speed.
Facing Sam's attack, Girori merely stood with his hands behind his back, looking as if he did not take the Stellaron Hunter before him seriously at all.
The control devices around him swiftly formed five layers of defense, intercepting Sam's attack.
Then, with a thought, the five control devices transformed into floating cannons and began firing upon Sam.
Every strike was enough to easily destroy a high-rise building.
Very quickly, Sam was completely engulfed by the floating cannons' attacks.
Battle Had Only Just Begun
"So strong!"
"Is this the Game Master's method?"
Watching the power Girori displayed, Nene Arakawa could not help speaking out.
That kind of power was simply beyond comparison with Riders like them. Wasn't that practically cheating? He was directly using his privileges to destroy everything.
Could that Stellaron Hunter Sam, who had seemed so incredibly powerful before, really be defeated?
Unconsciously, Nene began to worry a little about Sam.
"The Game Master..."
Beside her, Ace Ukiyo used a hand to shield himself from the blast's aftermath, his eyes fixed firmly on Girori's position.
His objective concerned DGP operations, and he might have to face them someday. It was necessary to understand their strength in advance. This Kamen Rider, which possessed what were essentially privileges, seemed to have abilities that made no sense at all. He would not be easy to deal with.
Still, he believed that Stellaron Hunter Sam would not be defeated so easily.
There was a trace of anticipation in Geats's eyes.
"This is what happens when you offend DGP operations."
Staring at the area being bombarded by the floating cannons, Girori stood calmly in place with his hands behind his back.
The DGP Grand Prix had not endured until today without confidence in its strength.
However...
"Protocol One, execute!"
BHF—Heavenly Fire!
As the mechanical male voice rang out, Stellaron Hunter Sam had somehow appeared overhead and came crashing down toward Girori with a meteor kick.
Noticing the Stellaron Hunter's appearance, and seeing that he seemed completely unharmed, Girori's expression remained unchanged, though some of his contempt vanished.
He raised his right hand and clenched it toward Sam, who was attacking him. The control systems that had transformed into floating cannons instantly returned to his side, becoming layer after layer of super barriers.
Five-Layer Firewall!
Sam's kick slammed into the barriers. Though it shattered the first two layers, the third layer remained intact and blocked him.
"...As expected, it won't be easy."
Seeing that his strike had failed, Sam inwardly sighed.
As expected of Kamen Rider Glare.
In every aspect, it crushed ordinary Riders. It did not merely possess privileges; its stats were also incredibly powerful.
With attacks like this, it would be difficult to defeat him.
But if he used an even more powerful attack, innocent people would be caught in it. For a moment, Sam did not know what to do.
He could only continue like this for now and look for an opportunity.
After successfully blocking Sam's attack, Girori launched another counterattack.
He snorted coldly, then pressed his thumb against the driver. The fingerprint scanned, and his ability activated!
Hack In! Begin Cracking!
The cold mechanical voice of the Rider sounded, and Girori began using his own methods.
Compared to that ridiculous Game Master who came later, Girori was much more proficient with Kamen Rider Glare's abilities.
"Stellaron Hunter Sam, let me see your true face now! Under Glare's system, there are no secrets."
As he spoke, Girori immediately activated all the control system's functions!
The spherical system devices floated before him and locked onto Sam at the same time. Then...
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Five beams instantly swallowed Sam's position with unstoppable force.
Deafening explosions rang out amid roaring waves of flame and spreading smoke, while shockwaves swept across the area.
But Girori did not underestimate this Stellaron Hunter. Rather than stopping, he increased the output, raising the floating cannons' power again and again.
Every strike shook the earth and mountains.
The nearby Riders and Jyamato had been completely caught up in it, with no ability to resist.
"Let's go."
Faced with such attacks, Ace Ukiyo did not dare linger. After speaking to Nene Arakawa beside him, he prepared to leave first.
The commotion was too great. It felt as though this place would soon be completely destroyed by Kamen Rider Glare's attacks.
"But..."
Nene Arakawa hesitated.
She had not expected things to develop like this. Once the Game Master entered the battle, the game's rules no longer mattered.
It had completely become their battlefield.
Looking at the battle that she could not possibly intervene in, Nene Arakawa was worried, but she still rationally left the area with Ace Ukiyo.
And at this moment, Girori's methods had only just begun.
After raising the control system's output to a certain level, every strike became wide-scale destruction. Only then did he begin what he truly intended to do.
Girori's goal was not merely to defeat this Stellaron Hunter. He also wanted to use the control system to invade Stellaron Hunter Sam's interior and completely control him.
Then he could obtain the answer he wanted.
What exactly was the Stellaron Hunter before him?
There would soon be a clue.
Under Girori's control, four control devices spread out around Sam, firing wildly at his position from four different directions.
Meanwhile, the most important Hypnolay control device—the spherical device originally on his chest—charged directly toward the Stellaron Hunter engulfed by the floating cannons.
The floating cannons' relentless assault had filled the surroundings with thick smoke and blasted-up earth, completely obscuring the view.
The deafening explosions continued to echo without end.
With the cover provided by such circumstances, the control device almost silently arrived beside Sam in an instant.
And it headed straight for his face.
If that device truly covered him, it was highly likely to invade him.
But how could Sam, a Stellaron Hunter, be so easily invaded? It might have been invisible to the naked eye.
But Firefly, inside Sam's armor, discovered its presence the instant the control device appeared.
Then she mercilessly smashed a metal fist into it.
The terrifying force produced an explosive burst of air the moment it struck the control device. The device was blasted away, crashed into a building, and caused another round of destruction.
However, as a part of Kamen Rider Glare, even after such a blow, the device remained largely undamaged and returned to Kamen Rider Glare's side.
Seeing his invasion method fail, Girori was somewhat disappointed, but he was not angry.
He still stood calmly in place, as steady as Mount Tai.
"I admit I underestimated you, but don't get cocky. The battle has only just begun."
As he spoke, Girori took out his Fate Card and once again scanned it against the driver at his waist, then supplied it with even greater power.
Empowered by that energy supply, the five control devices around him gathered energy and became even more terrifying!
The instant they locked onto Sam, the charged energy beams roared forth.
They began a powerful, all-encompassing barrage of destruction.
