(Gazer! Log In!)

Once again, she smoothly went through the practiced motions of washing her hair, then swiped the card across the Driver at her waist.

"Transform!"

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

(Install! Innovation and Control! Gazer!!)

Gene and Guaguala's Appearance (9/30)

"Stellaron Hunter Sam, you are a truth that should not exist in this world. Come, let me see what your outcome will be."

After transforming, Nilam snapped his fingers stylishly.

The control units on his body detached at once. Having fully understood the strength of the Stellaron Hunter before him, he showed no mercy and immediately unleashed his maximum firepower.

The control units turned into floating cannons and bombarded Sam relentlessly.

Now that he had no reservations, the floating cannons' power reached a terrifying level.

Every strike far surpassed a Russian Kinzhal missile. More importantly, the floating cannons' attack speed was nearly lightspeed.

In an instant, Sam was completely engulfed by the floating cannons' attacks...

But Nilam did not let his guard down. He controlled the floating cannons with another gesture, making all five control units charge up and fire at Sam's location simultaneously.

Yet, as a small mushroom cloud rose, Stellaron Hunter Sam burst out of it at an unimaginable speed and charged toward Nilam.

The propulsion systems on Sam's legs spewed extreme flames that warped space itself. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Nilam and threw a punch!

Nilam's expression changed immediately. He hurriedly reset the control units, making them appear before him and deploy a golden barrier to block Sam's attack.

The Gazer system's barrier could easily withstand a nuclear bomb, yet under Sam's punch, it did not even last a second before shattering!

Seeing even Gazer's invincible defense fail to resist, Nilam's face darkened further as he shouted at someone nearby, "Aren't you going to make a move yet?!"

Knowing the Stellaron Hunter's strength, Nilam naturally would not have dared to pursue him and try to reclaim the Vision Driver without making preparations.

He had already discussed things with others beforehand.

The instant Nilam spoke, a streak of light shot at Sam from the side.

Noticing the light attack, Firefly was briefly distracted and raised one hand to block it. However, her attack on Nilam did not stop, and she still sent him flying.

It was simply not as powerful as before.

The light attack was strong, but it could not break Sam's defenses and was easily blocked by Sam's defensive mechanisms. Only then did Firefly turn to look at the newcomer.

He was a rather short young man with several strands of sky-blue dyed hair, holding a Laser Raise Riser in his hand.

He had launched that attack with the Laser Raise Riser.

"See? I came. You have to make your move at the crucial moment, don't you?"

"I thought the Game Producer personally entering the field meant you wouldn't need my help. What I said before was just modesty."

After appearing, the man did not rush to attack again. He merely smiled at Nilam, who had been sent flying.

His timing had been impeccable.

Although Nilam had still been knocked away, Sam had pulled back because of his interference... As a result, Nilam, protected by Kamen Rider Gazer's armor, was not seriously injured.

Gazer's defensive system was second only to DGP operations' highest-level system.

Sure enough, Nilam was mostly fine.

Though he felt rather uncomfortable, he still climbed back up. He moved his body around, and it did not seem to affect him too much.

"Gene..."

Firefly recognized the man before her.

Geats' Top Supporter—the VIP viewer who had given Ace Ukiyo top-tier Buckles more than once, and who would even give Geats his own Laser Raise Riser in the future!

All because he had found the "emotion" he sought in Geats.

This guy was going to be a bit troublesome...

Especially Kamen Rider Ziin, the form he transformed into. Its abilities were rather troublesome.

Firefly was not surprised that he chose to help Nilam. The two of them could be considered old acquaintances.

Nemero, the Game Producer before Nilam, had been defeated by Nilam with Gene's help.

Moreover, Gene loved the DGP Grand Prix. If not for Geats, he would not have wanted the DGP Grand Prix to end.

Therefore, when Nilam invited him to reclaim the Driver and continue the Desire Grand Prix, Gene at this point would definitely not refuse.

No, there was more than just him.

Firefly turned her gaze toward another direction. Although she could not see him with the naked eye, she still sensed his presence.

"There's another one. The one hiding over there... come out as well."

As she spoke, Sam directly threw a compressed fireball toward that spot. The fireball exploded at the locked-on location, forcing a figure to leap out.

He was a middle-aged man in a blue suit, with green highlights in his hair matching Tycoon's color. A gold chain hung around his neck.

He looked like a successful businessman, or perhaps a boss.

"Hey, hey, you found me that easily?"

"Hahaha, don't be angry... I just got here too. I only came to join in the fun!"

After appearing, the middle-aged man gave Sam an awkward smile, indicating that he meant no harm.

"It's you!"

"Guaguala, why are you here too?"

Gene and Nilam were clearly surprised to see him. His appearance had not been part of their expectations.

Gene especially glanced at Nilam and saw that Nilam had much the same reaction as he did, meaning Nilam had not invited him.

That meant he had entered the field on his own!

Like Gene, Guaguala was also a VIP viewer of the DGP Grand Prix. He was Kamen Rider Tycoon's supporter and Top Supporter.

His original design was frog-themed, while this was his human form.

"Well, the Desire Grand Prix stopped, and operations hadn't released any news for so long. It was too boring, wasn't it? Things seemed interesting here, so I couldn't help coming to take a look."

Guaguala spread his hands, looking utterly helpless!

He could not do anything about it. His favorite program had stopped airing, so he could only find his own fun.

Of course, Guaguala had long been eager to enter the field himself. With something this interesting happening, how could he not participate? Otherwise, he would be letting himself down.

Compared to the traditional Desire Grand Prix, wasn't this much more interesting now?

He had wanted to approach this Stellaron Hunter who had appeared out of nowhere for a long time, but he had never been able to find any trace of him before.

Come to think of it, this place had originally been Jyamato Garden, right?

Guaguala looked around at the surroundings, deep in thought.

The place had become like this, yet Beroba was nowhere to be seen. Could she have already been dealt with by this Stellaron Hunter?

If that was really the case, it would be far too entertaining.

"Guaguala..."

Nilam gave Guaguala a deep look. He knew how unruly this VIP viewer was.

He had no idea what Guaguala was planning.

But this was not the time to worry about that. Compared to him, the Driver in the Stellaron Hunter's hands was more important.

Firefly's Game Rules (10/30)

"Since you're here too, I'll have to ask you to cooperate with DGP operations and take down this Stellaron Hunter."

"If you still want the Desire Grand Prix to continue..."

Nilam invited Guaguala. Having one more ally to deal with Stellaron Hunter Sam would naturally be for the best.

Although he did not know what Guaguala was plotting, they could at least cooperate for now. That was better than becoming enemies!

"Is that so..."

Upon hearing Nilam's invitation, Guaguala's eyes flickered a few times. Who knew what he thought of, but he immediately agreed.

"I do indeed like the Desire Grand Prix. It can't just end like this. Fine... I agree to assist DGP operations in reclaiming the Driver."

"..."

"The Vision Driver is right here. If you really have the ability, then come and take it!"

Firefly could not be bothered with whatever schemes these Future People were plotting. She directly took out the Game Master's Driver.

The item was right here, but whether they could snatch it from her hands depended on their own abilities! She only hoped they would not disappoint her.

Though it was one against three, Firefly did not feel even the slightest fear.

"The Driver..."

It really was in Stellaron Hunter Sam's hands.

The moment they saw the Vision Driver in Sam's hand, all three of their gazes were instantly drawn to it.

This was the key to the DGP Grand Prix. Without it, they could do nothing!

But with it, one could directly start their own Grand Prix.

Before the three could say anything, Sam directly strapped the Vision Driver around his waist. Yes, he wore it while in his Sam form...

Seeing Sam's action, Nilam and the other two were all stunned. Could he still use the Driver to transform on top of being this Rider?

That was impossible no matter how they looked at it!

Sam was naturally not preparing to use it to transform, but to use the Vision Driver's authority.

Because the upcoming battle would be even more intense, she feared that it might destroy this world. Therefore, she needed the belt's power to limit the area.

"Then next, let's have a Grand Prix as well!"

"My own Grand Prix."

Sam looked at Nilam and the other two, slowly revealing her purpose.

"What?"

"Your own Grand Prix?!"

All three of their expressions changed upon hearing Sam's words.

Firefly did not answer again. After equipping the Game Master's Driver, she detached the armor on Sam's hand, revealing her fingers.

When she placed her thumb on the Driver's unlock point, the Driver successfully unlocked!

(Gazer, Log In!)

Immediately afterward, the Vision Driver began to exert its power. The ruined city and the surrounding mountains were all enclosed by a barrier, becoming a separated game area.

"The rules are simple: there are no rules."

Firefly had no interest in playing house with them. The only reason she chose this was to deploy the game area.

"A three-versus-one challenge."

"You are the challengers, and I am the champion! The winner takes all, while the losers... lose everything..."

After saying that, Firefly watched the three of them react.

Although she said there were no rules, under these game rules, they could not leave the area unless they defeated her.

So they could only choose to fight her...

"Three against one, with no rules..."

"Interesting."
