Starting with Firefly, Speedrunning the World

"I'll give that back to you."

"Not just Glare, I'm taking your Gazer too."

Facing Nilam's attack, Firefly unleashed a barrage of uninhibited blasts from Kamen Rider-Glare's control device.

Chapter 50: The Creation Goddess's Reaction

While having the control device engage Nilam's control device, Firefly herself turned into a phantom and rushed in front of Nilam, throwing a punch.

Nilam didn't panic, merely controlling a single control device to block in front of them.

Gazer's terrifying defense system once again showed its might, proving impenetrable even to Kamen Rider-Glare's power.

But Firefly didn't give up, simply taking out her own card.

After having the "Vision Driver" sense the "Fate Card" again, accompanied by the "Delete" sound effect.

Firefly gathered energy in her foot and unleashed a kick towards Nilam, sending an energy blade attack towards them.

Under this power, the control device in front was kicked away.

"Hm?"

With hands behind their back, the seemingly incredibly elegant Nilam frowned slightly at this sight. But they still made no move, simply standing still and watching Firefly's kick approach.

Just as it was about to connect...

Bzzzzzz!

All control systems instantly appeared before Nilam. Five control devices arranged on the same plane released energy, forming a golden, invincible defensive barrier.

Boom!!

The Knight Kick hit the defensive barrier, yet it couldn't even scratch it.

With the first strike ineffective, Firefly immediately commanded Glare's control device to unleash its maximum output, bombarding the area in front of Nilam, but still couldn't break through the defense.

"It's no use. I already said... you're no match for me."

"Instead, why not let that Stellaron Hunter Sam fight me."

Nilam was very nonchalant. Although the Game Master's driver had more complete game settings, its combat mode was inferior to theirs.

So the outcome was predetermined.

Instead, they looked forward to Stellaron Hunter Sam's appearance, eager to witness the power of that unknown Knight.

"That's not necessarily true."

Indeed.

Kamen Rider Glare's power was completely inferior to Sam's, but that didn't mean it couldn't break through the current opponent's defense.

Firefly used a card to swipe the driver again, then took out a card Nilam had never seen before and slapped it onto the driver.

This unfamiliar object made Nilam's heart tighten, and for some reason, they had a bad premonition.

But no matter how they thought about it, it was impossible for Glare to break their defense.

"Then watch closely, next... you will be defeated!"

At this moment, as Kamen Rider, Firefly naturally wouldn't waste this chance to show off. Raising her right hand, she pointed at Nilam and the ground, her confidence in determining their defeat absolute.

As soon as the words fell, Firefly moved.

She leaped up again, but this time she was even more terrifying. The Path of Destruction empowered her armor.

A terrifying phantom flashed behind her.

It was a death comparable to a stellar entity, the collapse of a galaxy... merely a phantom, its aura alone inspired utter despair.

Because it was the fall of an Aeon.

From a single light.

They fell, the threat of annihilation descending from above. They had to cease self-replication, embracing each other in a desperate attempt to trade their right to reproduce for a chance at survival.

They joined hands, never so united—but their Path abruptly ended, they gravitated towards true death.

Light Cones, On a Starry Night!

[Shut Down!]

Knight Kick! Empowered by the Destruction Light Cone!

With the enhancement of this Light Cone, Firefly's Knight Kick had ascended to a terrifying dimension, a force that was utterly irresistible.

It was the lament of an Aeon, the unfeeling destruction!

"This is impossible!!!"

"How can such a terrifying existence exist in the world? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The terrifying phantom that flashed behind Firefly sent chills down Nilam's spine, cold sweat pouring down their back. They refused to believe that such a monstrous being could exist in the world.

Gods, they had seen them before.

Whether it was the deities of Norse mythology, or the High Heavens, or Greek mythology...

Even without direct contact, he had seen reports about god-slayer fugitives, but it was absolutely nothing like this.

However, despite his immense fear, the moment Firefly kicked, he immediately activated Kamen Rider Gazer's strongest defensive mechanism.

Five control devices formed the strongest golden barrier, attempting to block the attack.

Yet, this seemingly invincible defensive barrier, at this moment, shattered the instant it touched Firefly's kick.

A threat of death loomed, and Nilam decisively vanished from the Creation Temple.

When Firefly's attack landed, the Creation Temple itself showed signs of collapse, but it also triggered a protective mechanism.

Creation Power appeared, quickly restoring the area to its previous state, preventing its destruction.

"He actually got away."

Firefly expressed a bit of regret as she watched Nilam disappear.

But then again, this was the DGP's base, and within the Creation Temple at that. The rules here served the DGP's operations, and there were plenty of ways to escape.

If it were anywhere else, being locked on would have made escape impossible.

Despite the regret, Firefly didn't dwell on it.

Next time, in a different location, he would absolutely not be able to escape.

And his Driver would eventually fall into her hands.

Turning to look at the Creation Goddess statue, Firefly observed the state of the Creation Power for a while before leaving.

Without Nilam's Driver, it was impossible for now.

She had no intention of destroying the goddess statue before her...

"We'll meet again, Mitsume!"

Leaving those words behind, Firefly vanished from the Creation Temple.

After Firefly departed, the Creation Goddess statue surprisingly trembled slightly.

Returning home, Firefly immediately removed the Kamen Rider GlareN belt. Compared to her own medical bay, the "Molten Knight" Sam, the Firefly IV Strategic Assault Armor, Kamen Rider GlareN's stats were still far too low.

However, it did have many functions, especially the invasion capabilities. It could control five Kamen Riders to fight for her and remotely upgrade Buckles simultaneously...

"This should be about it."

This transformation into Kamen Rider Glare was just for experience. She probably wouldn't transform with it much anymore.

Of course, even without transforming, there were many functions she could use.

Or perhaps she could give it to someone else?

But that would have to wait until she obtained another Driver.

She wondered what the DGP's next move would be.

Firefly hoped that the audience and the biggest boss behind the DGP would make their move soon!

To completely destroy or change the DGP, these people needed to be involved.

Chapter 51: Nene Arakawa's Decision

As sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, dappling the soft sofa, the entire room was bathed in a faint golden hue.

The air was filled with a subtle aroma of tea, making one feel as if they were in a peaceful and comfortable world.

A gentle breeze blew outside, carrying a hint of coolness and freshness, making everything feel incredibly pleasant.

Firefly sat quietly by the window, holding a favorite book, immersed in the world of words.

Beside her, a Bluetooth speaker played soft music, its melody flowing gently, bringing a sense of peace and relaxation.

Nearby, the Herta Puppet was sweeping the floor.

While it might be overkill to have an AI-equipped puppet do chores, there were only two people in the house.

If Herta didn't clean, would Firefly do it herself?

"Herta, make me a cup of coffee!"

Putting down her book, Firefly stretched. Such a peaceful afternoon made her feel incredibly comfortable and relaxed.

She was just feeling a little sleepy, but didn't want to go to sleep. While dreams could be wonderful, reality held more promise.

"Oh... coffee..."

Hearing Firefly's request, the Herta Puppet put down its broom, turned, and began making coffee for her!

However, there was no coffee machine or beans at home, only instant coffee.

But Firefly had a good habit: she never picked or complained about food.

Before long, Herta brought the prepared coffee to Firefly's side and handed it to the young woman.

"Thank you."

Even though it was just her own puppet, Firefly thanked her and took the fragrant coffee.

After Herta turned and left, Firefly began to savor the coffee's bitterness and aroma.

The coffee's scent filled the air, creating a unique atmosphere. It allowed her to temporarily forget the hustle and bustle and pressures of life, and quietly enjoy this time that belonged to her.

After an unknown amount of time passed, footsteps sounded outside the door. The door was then opened, and a familiar voice called out.

"I'm back!"

Nene Arakawa appeared at the doorway. After taking off her shoes, she rushed into the room impatiently. The moment she saw Firefly, she excitedly pounced.

"Firefly-chan!"

Hugging Firefly, Nene Arakawa's joy was undeniable.

After so many days, she had finally seen Firefly again. She had missed her terribly.

"Welcome back."
