From Firefly Onward, Speedrunning the World

"It seems Guelorey is truly dead."

Nilam, the Game Producer in a white suit, appeared nearby. He didn't rush to attack but stared at Firefly and spoke slowly.

He had appeared the moment he sensed someone visiting the Creation Shrine.

And the first thing he saw was Firefly, transformed into Kamen Rider GlareN.

Looking at the Kamen Rider before him, which was clearly different from Kamen Rider Glare, Nilam knew the person before him wasn't Guelorey, even though he couldn't see the person inside the suit.

And she looked more like a woman.

There had been no news of Guelorey these past few days, and now someone else had used the Vision Driver to come to the Creation Shrine.

Although Nilam was unwilling to admit it, he understood that Guelorey had been killed and the Vision Driver had truly fallen into someone else's hands.

"Nilam..."

Firefly looked at the approaching person and recognized him.

Perfect, to achieve her wish, she still needed his Driver.

If she had the chance to get Nilam's Driver, she wouldn't mind trying to make a wish.

However, when it came to adjudication authority, Nilam's Driver would be more powerful. After all, the Producer was a high-level administrator, a top executive.

He even had the authority to deal with rogue Game Masters.

"You know me?"

"It seems you're also from the future. Who exactly are you? A viewer... or a stowaway?"

Hearing Firefly call out his name, Nilam pondered in his mind, wondering if it was one of those restless viewer supporters.

But he couldn't be sure. It was also possible she was a stowaway that even the DGP administration didn't know about.

However, he didn't connect the person before him with Sam, even though Guelorey was likely killed by the Stellaron Hunter Sam.

Stellaron Hunter Sam's Rider mechanism was superior to Kamen Rider Glare's, not to mention he was male.

So it was more likely that she was working with Stellaron Hunter Sam, and Sam had given the Desire Driver to the woman before him.

"I'm sorry, but neither is true."

Firefly denied it directly.

"Is that so? It doesn't matter. I'll find out later."

Seeing that the person before him didn't admit it, Nilam acted indifferent. He would find out sooner or later.

Compared to these things, the Desire Driver in her hand was the most crucial.

Without the Administrator's Driver, the Grand Prix couldn't continue, and wishes couldn't be granted. If the show didn't start for a long time, the viewers would really cause trouble, and he would have a headache.

Therefore, the Vision Driver had to be retrieved.

"You're truly bold, stealing a Game Administrator's Driver and daring to come here so openly."

"I'll give you a chance. Return the Vision Driver to the DGP administration."

"Otherwise..."

A strong threat emanated from Nilam's tone. As he spoke, he attached his own Driver to his waist. Although the Drivers were of the same class, Kamen Rider Glare (Kamen Rider-Glare) couldn't defeat Kamen Rider Gazer (Gazer).

The Gazer system possessed an undefeated mechanism.

"Otherwise, what?"

How could Firefly fear Guelorey's threat?

Even if the Glare on her body couldn't defeat him, she had other means. All the things she'd drawn from cards weren't just for show!

"Since that's the case, you'll know soon enough."

"For the truth of this world, you must be erased!"

Nilam stopped wasting words. He simply reached out and pressed his fingerprint to the Driver on his waist. Authentication successful.

[Gazer! LogIn!]

(Gazer! Log In!)

Immediately, Nilam performed a smooth, fluid head-washing motion in front of Firefly, then took out a Fate Card and swiped it across his Driver.

"Henshin!"

[Gazer,Log In!(……?)×N Install!INNOVATION ＆ CONTROL:GAZER!]

(Install! Innovation and Control: Gazer!!)

Chapter 49: Not Even Qualified to Be a Masked Fool

As Nilam transformed, golden rings rose from behind him, floated above his head, and descended, sweeping across his body.

Following that, five golden control devices began to orbit irregularly!

Golden data radiance bloomed brilliantly during this process.

Kamen Rider Gazer made his grand entrance!

It's worth noting that because Gazer and Kamen Rider-Glare use the same driver, their styles are incredibly similar, with only the colors differing.

Gazer is a more flamboyant blue, white, and gold.

"Even if you obtained the Vision Driver, there's still a gap between our systems."

"Now, let me show you that gap!"

Having completed his transformation, Nilam stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an air of extreme arrogance.

Even if the opponent possessed the Game Master's belt, they would still face only one outcome. They threatened the true existence of this world and must be erased!

With a movement, Nilam instantly appeared beside Firefly and threw a punch.

Empowered by the Gazer system, this punch was enough to instantly turn a heavy tank into scrap metal.

Its base stats were several, even tens of times higher than an ordinary Knight.

However, facing this attack, Firefly simply raised her arms and crossed them in front of her, blocking his strike. Kamen Rider-Glare's base stats were similar, but the systems they had installed were different.

After a few exchanges, seeing that the girl before him was quite skilled and possessed clear combat awareness, Nilam stopped holding back. He let out a cold snort and advanced.

Raising his right fist, he unleashed a punch charged with the super-high-pressure energy supplied by the Vision Driver.

Noticing Nilam's action, Firefly, unwilling to be outdone, met his punch with one of her own.

Bang!!

A heavy thud echoed, directly creating a sharp sonic boom.

However, as the recoil force hit him, Nilam instinctively took a few steps back.

"Hmm?"

Nilam looked at Kamen Rider Glare before him, slightly surprised. He had been affected by the recoil, but she seemed completely unfazed.

"Is this the gap you were talking about?"

Firefly retorted calmly, then threw a punch towards his head.

Even with the same driver, and even if her system was slightly inferior, she could still defeat him.

Did they really think her Path of Destruction was just for show?

With the boost from the Path of Destruction, the outcome was already decided.

"Hmph!"

Hearing Firefly's words, her tone calm yet feeling like a mockery, Nilam said nothing. He simply lifted his right leg and delivered a roundhouse kick.

Firefly swung her arm to block, parrying Nilam's attack while simultaneously yanking him closer with her right hand. Then, with a charged fist, she unleashed a punch.

Bang!!

A heavy thud, the sound strangely muffled.

It was because it was mixed with the sound of a control system disengaging. The control device on Nilam's body appeared just in time, blocking the strike.

Following that, the control device mercilessly attacked Firefly, unleashing a laser cannon comparable to a missile.

Firefly didn't let her guard down either. She immediately controlled Kamen Rider-Glare's control device to block the attack. However, Glare's defensive capabilities were far inferior to Gazer's, and she was clearly at a disadvantage.

At this moment, Nilam created distance, returning to his calm and composed state.

"Our battle has only just begun!"

Brushing off nonexistent dust from his body, Nilam spoke slowly, displaying his absolute confidence.

However, he glanced around and asked.

"By the way, where is that Stellaron Hunter Sam? Didn't he appear with you? Are you alone?"

Compared to Kamen Rider Gazer before him, Nilam was more concerned about the Knight who had repeatedly appeared and disrupted the DGP game.

No need to ask further, that Stellaron Hunter and the woman before him were definitely allies.

Stellaron Hunter Sam handed the Vision Driver to her, but didn't show up himself?

"You talk too much nonsense."

"Are all Future People as long-winded as you?"

With a punch, she blasted away the control device in front of her. Firefly spread her arms, letting the control devices on Kamen Rider-Glare detach one by one.

Then, she made them float in her hands, transforming into a vortex, and unleashed them towards Kamen Rider Gazer before her.

Facing this attack, Nilam immediately put Gazer's control device in front of him. The powerful assault was perfectly blocked by a golden barrier.

This was Kamen Rider Gazer, possessing a defensive system capable of blocking "any" attack.

"Future People? As if you aren't one yourself?"

Nilam stood in place with his hands behind his back, requiring no movement at all, only needing to control the control devices to deal with everything.

It was as if everything was within his grasp.

Hearing Firefly's words, he was also confused. The way she spoke made it seem like she wasn't a Future Person.

If she wasn't a Future Person, how could this native of the ancient era possess such technology and power, and have successfully mastered the Vision Driver?

This isn't something the natives of this ancient era could do.

"I'm not like you vile Future People. Future People should just stay in the future and satisfy your twisted desires with more advanced technology. How utterly boring."

"It's not even the lowest level of Joy."

These Future People could be considered entertainers, but they were merely the most unscrupulous and low-class way of seeking amusement.

In the Star Rail universe, they wouldn't even meet the minimum requirements to be a Masked Fool.

Coming to a past dimension and turning the original world into a stage for amusement, do you feel proud?

"I'll take your word for it. But what do you know? The meaning of the DGP's existence is a reality you can't possibly comprehend."

Nilam still didn't believe Firefly, but his tone was firm.

The DGP reality show was a program beloved by countless Future People viewers. Its significance was far more complex than others could imagine.

"Enough of this topic. I'm going to take back the Driver that doesn't belong to you."

Nilam said no more, simply standing in place and snapping his fingers with a flourish. Immediately, the other four control devices on his body began to detach.

Then, these five control devices spread out side-by-side, simultaneously locking onto Firefly before him.

"Eliminate her!"

As Nilam gave the order, he raised his large hand.

All the control devices surged forward instantly, launching a coordinated assault on Firefly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Kamen Rider Gazer's firepower was terrifyingly immense. It caused significant destruction even within this Creation Shrine, but thankfully, it wouldn't affect the Creation Goddess statue.
