But this time, his defense failed to perfectly block Sam's attack. The electromagnetic deflection shield shattered, forcing Girori to instinctively stagger back several steps, nearly losing his balance.
At that moment, Sam struck again, stomping one foot onto the ground.
"Annihilation Plan!"
After Sam kicked the ground, a tidal wave of flames erupted and completely engulfed Girori.
But it was not over yet. As everyone knew, Kamen Riders were notoriously hard to kill, especially Kamen Rider Glare.
Although Kamen Rider Glare was indeed in a miserable state, he still endured the discomfort in his body and immediately pulled out his Fate Card.
After swiftly having the Vision Driver scan the Fate Card again, the sound effect of "Delete!" activated. Girori gathered energy in his foot and unleashed a Knight Kick at Sam.
Compared to the Knight Kicks of Grand Prix contestants, Kamen Rider Glare's Knight Kick possessed overwhelmingly greater power.
The instant Girori launched his Knight Kick, Sam moved as well. She leaped into the air, mirroring his stance.
"Execute!"
Empowered by the Molten Core Engine, she delivered a perfect Knight Kick directly at Girori.
Their collision caused the few remaining islands on the sea to be completely swallowed by the ocean.
The two fell into the seawater. Girori looked even more bedraggled now. Even with Kamen Rider Glare's privileged power, he could not hold on much longer.
After all, Future People had their limits as well. His body could not sustain such a battle. More importantly, cracks had even appeared in Kamen Rider Glare's equipment.
In comparison, Sam was practically unharmed.
Yet Girori still refused to give up. He once again had the Vision Driver scan the Fate Card, and after the second scan, the sound effect rang out!
He directly unleashed a finishing kick.
Shut Down
"It's over!"
Faced with that kick, Sam remained utterly calm.
She instinctively wanted to use even greater power and let the world witness a sight seen only during the dinosaur extinction.
To renovate Earth's surface.
One of Sam's area attacks, Supernova Overload!
But she restrained herself.
It would feel great, sure, but if she really did that, every human being would die.
Better to end this quickly.
Those thoughts flashed through her mind. Sam raised her right hand... even more terrifying flames spread from her body, making her seem like a miniature sun.
In truth, the Molten Core inside the Mecha was not all that different from a sun.
With the Molten Core activated, the Molten Core Engine reached a terrifying output. Sam bent down and erupted the instant Kamen Rider Glare drew near.
Transforming into a tiny sun, she kicked him with both feet at once.
A massive mushroom cloud rose again. The seawater surged violently, throwing up waves hundreds, even thousands of meters high. Yet the extreme heat immediately vaporized them, turning them into clouds of mist hotter than one hundred degrees.
Obtaining the Driver
Stellaron Hunter Sam had won a crushing victory!
Sam hovered in midair, surrounded by dense mist at a frightening temperature. Even the sea level seemed to have dropped considerably.
Countless marine creatures had been unable to escape and were reduced to charcoal by Sam's flames.
That was why Firefly was unwilling to use this power in cities. She was a mechanical warrior created because of the cosmic insect plague.
To fight the insect plague, the Sam armor's output had always been designed for large-scale destruction.
It was meant to truly set the sea ablaze, to set seas of insects ablaze!
Even when she controlled her strength, her true killing moves would inevitably affect far too wide an area.
This was already the limit of what she could suppress.
She had only used Secondary Burn. Her output was not even at full power, and she had not used Supernova Destruction.
Not to mention going all out, burning completely, and using the armaments tailored for Sam.
Yes, Sam had her own armaments.
But she had never taken them out so far, because there was no need against these people.
Unless it was Geats, who had already mastered Creation Power; the original founder of the DGP Grand Prix, who could turn back time; or the Future People fugitive, God Slayer Mela.
Only those people could truly be called opponents.
They were worth using Complete Burn against, worth drawing out greater output.
Of course, it would be best to fight in space or another dimension. Otherwise, she really would become the culprit behind the world's destruction.
How would she be any different from them?
"As expected of Kamen Rider Glare. He still has one last breath left after all that."
Firefly had not forgotten her purpose. She had not come to kill Girori, but for the Administrator Driver on him.
For DGP operations, whether it was the Game Master or the Game Producer behind the scenes, either could be replaced.
The impact was not that great. If they died, then they died.
As long as Suel, the DGP's original founder, remained alive and continued to control Creation Power, none of the consequences would be too serious.
Although the Administrator Driver was important right now, once Suel appeared, it would not be as important as imagined.
Of course, that was for later. At present... the Vision Driver was still quite important. It was a key item of the Desire Grand Prix.
In a sense, it was even more important than the Driver of the other Game Producer, Nilam—Kamen Rider Gazer.
To make a wish to the Creation Goddess, one needed both the Vision Driver of the Game Master and that of the Game Producer.
However, there were still certain differences between their systems.
Creating and planning game rules basically relied on the Game Master's Driver, but Kamen Rider Gazer possessed higher arbitration authority.
Even the Game Master could make rulings, and his combat power might be even more formidable.
Sam swiftly moved above the boiling sea. The seawater here was practically no different from water brought to a rolling boil.
A figure floated on the surface of the sea. It was none other than the Game Master, Girori!
Because Kamen Rider Glare's base defense was beyond—no, it utterly crushed—that of other Riders, he had not been obliterated by the flames.
He even retained his last breath and had not yet died.
But he was in an abysmal state, practically certain to die the next second.
Sam did not hesitate any longer. She directly removed the Vision Driver from his body, along with... the Fate Card.
Then Sam took out a device, grabbed Girori's thumb, and had the device in her hand begin reading his fingerprint.
A Vision Driver capable of controlling and creating game rules could be unlocked with a fingerprint? What a joke.
Was fingerprint technology really that impressive?
In any case, it posed no difficulty at all for a combat-type warrior like Sam.
The device soon recorded Girori's fingerprint, and the Game Master before her completely lost his usefulness. Sam kicked him away.
He was completely finished!
With the Vision Driver in hand and the Game Master's fingerprint, Firefly could now launch her own DGP Grand Prix just like Beroba, the Jyamato supporter.
If she obtained the Game Producer's Driver as well, she could directly make a wish to the Creation Goddess and fulfill the wishes of those who became Desire Gods in the Grand Prix.
Of course, Firefly had no interest in hosting a DGP.
But she was interested in the Creation Goddess.
Therefore, Game Producer Nilam's Driver was her next target.
Now that the Game Master's Driver had fallen into her hands, the DGP Grand Prix that had run for thousands of years had no choice but to stop.
She wondered whether she could earn an achievement for this...
"Let's head back first. The data from the Driver and Fate Card needs to be read separately."
After putting away her spoils, Sam gave the direction she had come from one final look before decisively leaving.
As for what DGP operations and the viewers behind them would do after losing the Administrator Driver and being unable to continue the DGP Grand Prix—
That had nothing to do with Firefly for now.
Perhaps those viewers would not be able to resist entering the game themselves!
After all, it would be difficult to wrap things up. The DGP Grand Prix was very important to them.
With it ending just like that, many Future People would be unable to accept it.
But it seemed to benefit Firefly instead.
Suel would not reveal himself until the critical moment.
To completely destroy the DGP, Suel had to be dealt with.
Perhaps she could give Ace Ukiyo some information and have him do something to speed up the process.
After all, wasn't Ace Ukiyo's wish to see his mother again?
Under the control of DGP operations, his mother, the Creation Goddess, was like a battery about to be drained dry. She could not fulfill many more wishes.
In the end, they would even squeeze the Creation Goddess dry, leaving nothing behind, all to bring about some world-destruction ending.
For them, it did not matter if this Creation Goddess was gone. They still had Tsumuri, the candidate Goddess.
Back at the DGP Grand Prix game venue.
Because of Stellaron Hunter Sam's reappearance, coupled with the Game Master's involvement, this round of the game could only be temporarily suspended.
Such a major upheaval would severely affect the program if it was not handled properly.
Moreover, the battlefield had been nearly half destroyed by their fight.
After receiving the notice, Tsumuri immediately stepped forward and apologized to all the Future People viewers. She explained that the DGP's unexpected situation was an issue with their operations.
Therefore, it was temporarily suspended.
Although many viewers were deeply dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do.
They could not do anything to DGP operations.
Some were curious about the final outcome between the Game Master and Stellaron Hunter Sam, their curiosity burning.
But for now, they could only wait for a notice from DGP operations to learn the result.
The Suspended DGP
Inside the DGP program, Tsumuri stood quietly, waiting for someone. Although her eyes held a trace of anxiety, she did not make any excessive movements.
The incident in this DGP Grand Prix was something that had never happened before.
She was merely a small guide. There were many matters she simply could not decide.
Thus, she could only worry helplessly.
At that moment, a figure wearing a bow tie and a neatly tailored plaid suit appeared on the platform. A maturely dressed secretary assistant stood beside him.
One could tell at a glance from his appearance that he was a rather high-ranking executive.
