Listening to the game rules Sam laid out before them, Nilam and the other two had different reactions.
What kind of game rules were these? After watching the Desire Grand Prix for so many years, this was simply the crudest game possible—just fight.
It even seemed advantageous to them instead.
Although the Stellaron Hunter before them was quite powerful, she was far too arrogant to choose to face all three of them at once.
Which one of the three of them was not among the strongest?
Since he was courting death, they would grant him his wish!
"Hahaha... we'll do as you say. Winner takes all!"
Guaguala burst into laughter, then pulled out his Laser Raise Riser and officially began transforming.
"Transform!"
KEKERA SET.(...?×N) LASER ON.KEKERA LOADING...READY FIGHT.
(Guaguala, loading!)
Following Guaguala's transformation sound effects, amid dazzling multicolored lights, he quickly transformed into a massive mechanical frog.
At that moment, Gene also stepped forward with a Laser Raise Riser in hand.
With a flick of his cape, he took out the ZIIN Raise Card Holder and inserted it.
Gene, loading!
As Geats's biggest fan, he naturally could not skip a whole set of flashy pre-transformation moves. Then, with a snap of his fingers, he pulled the Laser Raise Riser's trigger.
"Transform!"
ZIIN SET!(...?)×N Laser On,ZIIN Loading... Ready Fight!
(Laser, Raise!)
As the light effects faded...
Kamen Rider Ziin made his entrance!
"..."
Watching the Kamen Rider before her complete his transformation, Firefly remained calm.
Although Gene was someone she needed to watch out for, he was still no great threat. She merely had to be a little more careful.
Kamen Rider Ziin possessed the ability to freely manipulate the direction of various forms of energy.
By changing the direction of gravity acting upon himself or a designated target, he could move freely across walls and other surfaces.
He could also abruptly alter a target's gravitational direction and make them fall sideways, while his handgun could fire cards and control their flight according to the user's will.
But before absolute power, all of that could be ignored.
After all, there was a limit...
Without wasting words, Gene and the other two exchanged a glance and launched their attack on Firefly simultaneously.
The three figures appeared before Sam in the blink of an eye. Nilam deployed a barrier and charged in first, taking the initiative in close combat.
Meanwhile, Gene attacked with his gun, using an incredibly bizarre power to influence Sam's movements. Behind them, the giant frog Guaguala leaped high into the air and shot out a tough green tongue for a ranged attack.
Yet even against three opponents, Sam showed no sign of falling behind. Instead, she only grew stronger.
"Protocol approved. Commencing scorched earth operation!"
Pulling back, Sam stared at the three before her and swept out an arm. Terrifying fire tornadoes spread outward in every direction from her position.
Everywhere Firefly's tornadoes passed turned into a lava-like substance.
Fortunately, everything here had already been destroyed during Firefly's earlier battle with Beroba. Aside from further damage to the ground, there would be no other effects.
DHGDR—Secondary Burn!
The spreading fire tornadoes were incredibly fast. Guaguala, Gene, and Nilam could not evade them at all and could only endure being swept up by the flames.
Though protected by their armor, they still felt scorching heat.
It felt as if their bodies were about to be roasted alive.
The three of them sank inwardly and became even more wary.
"Immediate execution!"
In Secondary Burn State, Sam's thrusters ignited, and her body instantly appeared before Nilam. Her flaming fist crashed forward in a single blow.
Nilam hurriedly activated his defense mechanism, but cracks instantly appeared across the defensive barrier.
At that moment, Guaguala's tongue suddenly lashed toward Sam, easing much of Nilam's pressure.
Firefly's expression did not change. Enduring the tongue's strike, she shattered the golden barrier with one punch, then followed up with another that sent Nilam flying.
"Action Two, execute!"
The instant she sent Nilam flying, Sam leaped into the air and launched a Knight Kick at Guaguala. Guaguala tried to evade it, but Sam's speed in Secondary Burn State was far too fast. There was no time.
Thus, the giant frog was kicked toward the burning mountain range by Sam. When he crashed into the mountains, the scorched-earth-like range collapsed once more.
Falling rubble buried his body...
But at that moment, Firefly noticed Gene making his move. He was gathering energy and preparing to fire at her, so Sam did not delay and attacked again.
"Action, execute!"
Scorched Earth Conquest!
The Molten Core Engine activated, and Sam transformed into a tiny sun as she charged at him.
The terrifying energy directly annihilated the powerful energy blast he fired and continued charging without being affected in the slightest.
Feeling the temperature rising ever higher, Gene's expression changed drastically, and he immediately activated Kamen Rider Ziin's special device.
Vectolancer!
This special device could redirect the various vectors held by matter, energy, and other things in any direction. At that moment, Gene wanted to use it to alter the attack trajectory of the Stellaron Hunter before him.
And he succeeded—and failed!
Though he barely affected Sam's direction, the effect was limited. He was still sent flying by the impact, only avoiding complete loss of combat ability because he was no longer at its center.
Only then did Sam land on the ground from the air.
Then she looked at the three before her, watching them forcibly support their bodies and stand again.
It was not that they wanted to surrender. They simply could not.
Guaguala was already beginning to regret why he had joined this, but at this point, he could only grit his teeth and continue.
They understood that under the rules of this game field, if they could not defeat the Stellaron Hunter before them, they would not be able to escape.
"We can't hold back anymore!!"
Nilam roared and unleashed Kamen Rider Gazer's finishing move.
The five flight units, "Dominion Ray," located on his chest armor, shoulder armor, and knee armor formed a pentagon around him and flew into the air.
Then he took out his Fate Card and had the Vision Driver scan it once more.
Then...
Delete!
As the sound effect rang out, massive wings of light unfolded behind him, gathering golden energy around his feet as he continuously launched kicks at Sam.
The instant Nilam shouted, Gene also stopped holding back and operated the Laser Raise Riser...
When the sound effect "Finish Mode" rang out, he pulled the trigger...
Laser Victory
Energy gathered within the firearm in his hand, releasing an extraordinarily powerful blue laser from its muzzle that reached Sam in an instant...
Guaguala was no different, pulling out his own weapon's finishing move.
"..."
"If that's the case..."
Watching the three before her unleash their finishing attacks, Firefly made up her mind as well.
"Then remember this—it was the Stellaron Hunters... who sent you on your final journey..."
As Firefly/Sam finished speaking, flames ignited, and the temperature in the surroundings rose at an extreme speed. Her figure, nearly transformed into a ball of fire, leaped high into the air.
At that moment, not only Nilam and the other two before her, but even people across the entire Far East region could see a tiny sun roar from underground toward the sky as soon as they looked up.
Then the figure stopped between Earth and space, and immediately afterward...
This special-model armor, created to fight the Swarm, revealed one of its true powers at this moment.
"I will—ignite the sea!!"
DHGDR—Supernova Overload!
At that moment, Sam transformed into a meteor, and as she continued to fall, even more meteors split off around her.
Until the sky was filled with crimson meteors—a rain of meteorites.
"..."
"W-What is that?!!"
"Quick, look at the sky!"
Across many regions of East Asia, when people looked up at the sky, they saw a sight they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
They were instantly scared senseless!
"Are those meteors? No, it's a meteor swarm hitting Earth!!!"
"Run! Everyone, run! The end of the world is here!"
"The meteor swarm has already entered Earth's atmosphere! Run my ass, just wait to die!"
A massive meteor swarm appeared in the sky. The burning meteors had already completely broken the sound barrier and were flying toward the ground.
Everyone felt as though the end of the world had arrived!
Just like one of the scientists' theories about the dinosaurs' mass extinction: an asteroid striking Earth.
After hundreds of millions of years, humanity unexpectedly faced the same destruction the dinosaurs had suffered.
If that meteor swarm across the sky all fell, it would be enough to completely scour the surface of the planet.
Compared to those outside, Nilam and the other two, who were being targeted by the meteor swarm, were overwhelmed by uncontrollable fear. But it was already too late to do anything.
The moment the firelight descended, flames seemed to cover the entire game field, followed by a deafening boom that could pierce eardrums.
Under such power, even the game barrier formed through Creation Power by the Vision Driver could no longer endure and began to crack...
Even though Creation Power rapidly repaired it, it still caused an enormous impact outside.
Fortunately, it was not enough to destroy everything.
Along with the explosion came violent tremors. Even with the game field's isolation, massive earthquakes still erupted across multiple regions...
No one knew how long had passed.
After the disturbance finally weakened somewhat, Firefly stood within a supermassive crater several thousand meters deep.
This was the point where Firefly herself had struck, as well as the strongest point of impact. Compared to Firefly's own attack, the meteors that scattered around it were somewhat smaller.
Though they were still incomparably terrifying!
From above, one could see that the giant crater Sam had created exceeded a thousand kilometers in diameter. The previous mountain range, along with the city, had all turned into a crater.
If Firefly had not still been holding back, and if the game field's barrier had not isolated more than ninety-nine percent of the destruction, the true devastation would have been far greater.
And she was still not in Full Burn State!
