Starting With Firefly, Speedrunning the World

However, this time his defense didn't completely block Sam's attack. It shattered the electromagnetic deflection shield directly, forcing Guelorey to instinctively retreat a few steps, almost losing his balance.

Just then, Sam continued the assault, stomping a foot on the ground.

"Annihilation Plan!"

A wave of flames erupted as Sam kicked the ground, completely engulfing Guelorey.

But that wasn't all. As everyone knows, Kamen Riders are incredibly resilient, especially Kamen Rider Glare.

Although Kamen Rider Glare was in a terrible state at the moment, he endured the physical discomfort and immediately took out his Fate Card.

After quickly having the "Vision Driver" scan the "Fate Card" again, accompanied by the sound effect "Delete!", Guelorey gathered energy in his leg and unleashed a Knight Kick at Sam.

Compared to the Knight Kicks of the Grand Prix participants, Kamen Rider Glare's Knight Kick possessed overwhelming power.

At the very instant Guelorey performed his Knight Kick, Sam also moved, leaping up in a similar fashion.

"Execute!"

Empowered by the Molten Core Engine, a perfect Knight Kick landed directly on Guelorey.

The collision caused the few remaining islands in the sea to be completely submerged.

Both fell into the water. Guelorey appeared even more disheveled now. Even with the special powers of Kamen Rider Glare, he couldn't hold on much longer.

After all, Future People had their limits, and his body couldn't support such a battle. Not to mention his body, Kamen Rider Glare's device had also developed cracks.

In contrast, Sam was virtually unharmed.

Yet, Guelorey didn't give up. He once again had the "Vision Driver" scan the "Fate Card." After the second scan, a sound effect played!

He directly unleashed his finishing kick.

[Shut Down]

"This is the end!"

Facing the opponent's kick, Sam remained unfazed.

He instinctively wanted to use even more power, to show the world a scene akin to the dinosaur extinction.

To give the Earth a surface renovation.

This was one of Sam's area-of-effect attacks, Supernova Overload!

But she restrained herself.

If she really did that, it would be satisfying, but all of humanity would perish without exception.

It was better to end the fight quickly.

These thoughts flashed by as Sam raised her right hand... even more terrifying flames spread from her, making her look like a sun.

In fact, the Molten Core within the mecha was similar to the sun.

With the Molten Core activated, the Molten Core Engine reached a fearsome intensity. Sam bent down and exploded the moment Kamen Rider Glare approached.

Transforming into a small sun, she kicked him with both feet simultaneously.

Immediately, a massive mushroom cloud rose again, the sea churning violently, creating waves hundreds or even thousands of meters high. But then, due to the extreme heat, they vaporized into mist and clouds exceeding a hundred degrees.

Chapter 42: Obtained the Driver

[Stellaron Hunter Sam, Victorious!]

Sam hovered in mid-air, surrounded by dense, terrifyingly hot mist. The sea level seemed to have dropped significantly.

Countless marine creatures, unable to escape, were reduced to charcoal by Sam's flames.

This was also why Firefly was reluctant to use this power in cities. She was a mechanical warrior created to combat the cosmic insect plague.

To deal with the insect plague, Sam's armor was designed for large-scale destruction.

It was truly capable of igniting the sea, igniting swarms of insects!

Even if she controlled her strength, her true killing moves would inevitably affect too large an area.

This was already the limit of her suppression.

She hadn't even unleashed her full power with just the Secondary Burn, let alone Supernova Destruction.

Not to mention going all out, fully burning, and using Sam's complete armament.

Yes, Sam possessed her own armament.

But she hadn't revealed it so far, as it was unnecessary against these opponents.

Unless it was Geats, who had mastered Creation Power, the original founder of the DGP Grand Prix who could rewind time, the Future People wanted criminal God Slayer Mela.

Only such individuals could truly be considered opponents.

Worthy of a full burn, worthy of unleashing greater output power.

Of course, it would be best to fight in space or another dimension, otherwise, she would truly become the culprit who destroyed the world.

What would be the difference between her and them?

"As expected of Kamen Rider Glare, to still have a last breath left."

Firefly hadn't forgotten her objective. She wasn't here to kill Guelorey, but to take the Administrator Driver he wore.

For the DGP's operation, both the Game Master and the Producer behind it were replaceable.

The impact wouldn't be that significant. If one died, they died.

As long as the DGP's original founder, Suel, was still around and controlled the Creation Power, any impact wouldn't be too great.

Although the Administrator belt was important now, it wouldn't be as crucial once Suel appeared.

Of course, that was for later. For now... the Vision Driver was still a very important item, a key component of the Desire Grand Prix.

In some ways, it was even more important than the driver belonging to the other Game Producer, Nilam, who was also Kamen Rider Gazer, "Gazer."

To have a wish granted by the Creation Goddess, one needed both the Game Master's and the Game Producer's Vision Drivers.

However, there was still a gap between their systems.

The creation and planning of game rules primarily relied on the Administrator's Driver, but Kamen Rider Gazer possessed higher authority for adjudication.

Even the Game Master could adjudicate, and their combat power might even be more formidable.

Sam's body moved rapidly across the boiling sea. The water here was no different from being boiled.

And floating on the sea's surface was a figure – the Game Master, Guelorey!

Because Kamen Rider Glare's base defense surpassed, no, it crushed other Riders, he hadn't been annihilated by the flames.

He still had a breath left, not yet exhaled.

But his condition was extremely dire, on the verge of death at any second.

Without further hesitation, Sam directly took the Vision Driver from him, and of course... the Fate Card as well.

Next, Sam took out an instrument, grabbed Guelorey's thumb, and had the instrument begin reading his fingerprint.

The Vision Driver, which could control and create game rules, was unlocked by a fingerprint? How laughable.

Was fingerprint technology that amazing?

For Sam, a combat-class warrior, it posed no difficulty whatsoever.

Soon, the instrument finished reading Guelorey's fingerprint. The Game Master, Guelorey, before them was completely useless. Sam kicked him away.

He was utterly ruined!

With the Vision Driver in hand and the Game Master's fingerprint, Firefly could now, just like Beloba, the supporter of the Jyamato, start her own DGP Grand Prix.

If she obtained the Game Producer's Driver too, she could directly make a wish to the Creation Goddess, granting the wish of whoever became the Desire God in the Grand Prix.

Of course, Firefly had no interest in hosting a DGP.

But she was very interested in the Creation Goddess.

Therefore, the Game Producer Nilam's Driver was her next target.

Now that the Game Master's Driver was in her possession, the DGP Grand Prix, which had been running for thousands of years, had to stop.

Wonder if she'd get an achievement...

"Let's head back first. The data from the Driver and Fate Card needs to be read again separately."

After securing the spoils, Sam cast one last glance in the direction they came from and decisively left.

As for what the DGP operation and the audience behind the scenes would do now that the DGP Grand Prix couldn't continue without the Administrator's Driver...

That was no longer Firefly's concern.

Perhaps the audience would even be compelled to intervene themselves!

It would be difficult to wrap things up otherwise. The DGP Grand Prix was something very important to them.

If it ended like this, many Future People wouldn't be able to accept it.

But it seemed to work in Firefly's favor.

Suel wouldn't appear unless absolutely necessary.

To completely destroy the DGP, Suel had to be dealt with.

Perhaps she could provide Ace Ukiyo with some information, letting him do things to accelerate this process.

After all, Ace Ukiyo's wish was to see his mother again, wasn't it?

Under the control of the DGP operation, his mother, the Creation Goddess, was like a battery about to run out, unable to grant many more wishes.

Eventually, they would drain the Creation Goddess completely, leaving nothing behind, to achieve some world-ending finale.

For them, if this Creation Goddess was gone, they still had Tsumuri, another goddess candidate.

Returning to the DGP Grand Prix game area.

Due to the reappearance of the Stellaron Hunter Sam and the Game Master's downfall, this round of the game had to be temporarily suspended.

After all, such a major upheaval, if not handled properly, would greatly affect the program's progression.

Moreover, the venue had been largely destroyed by their battle.

After receiving the notification, Tsumuri was the first to step forward, apologizing to all the Future People viewers and explaining that the incident with the DGP was an operational issue on their end.

Therefore, it was temporarily suspended.

Faced with this situation, even though many viewers were quite dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do.

They couldn't do anything about the DGP's operations.

However, a portion of them were curious about the final outcome for the Game Master and Stellaron Hunter Sam, and it was itching at them.

But for now, it seemed they would have to wait for notification from the DGP operations before knowing the results.

Chapter 43: The Suspended DGP

Inside the DGP program, Tsumuri stood quietly, waiting for someone. Although there was a hint of anxiety in her eyes, she didn't make many moves.

This incident during the DGP Grand Prix was absolutely unprecedented.

She was just a small guide, and couldn't make decisions on many matters.

Thus, she could only fret.

Just then, a figure wearing a bow tie and a meticulously dressed checkered suit appeared on the platform, accompanied by a mature-looking secretary assistant.

From these details, it was immediately clear that he was a high-ranking executive.
