Chapter 72

"Well, isn't that obvious? I'm also Firefly-chan's Kamen Rider."

Sara Sakurai scratched the back of her head. She hadn't thought that much about it; she just rushed in immediately when she saw someone being attacked by a monster, without any fear whatsoever.

Moreover, since Firefly just gave her the Kamen Rider Driver, she naturally couldn't let Firefly-chan down.

It's no wonder she's Keiwa Sakurai's older sister; they share similar personalities in many ways.

"Let's not talk about that. By the way, where's Firefly-chan?"

Sara Sakurai looked around but didn't see Firefly, so she asked him something.

"I think it's over there."

Keiwa Sakurai pointed in a direction and answered somewhat uncertainly.

"..."

Not far from where Keiwa Sakurai pointed, Firefly stood on the steps, gazing at the azure sky, lost in thought. She had used the Creation Power to add a firewall to this world, preventing Future People and visitors from other dimensions to the greatest extent possible.

But that wasn't enough; she had other preparations in store.

Now that Mela's situation is resolved, almost all the dangers she knows about on Earth no longer exist. As for the future plant crisis, that's an unknown number of years from now.

If she still couldn't stop it by then, she had made a final plan to have it destroyed.

Although there will be some negative impacts, it is still better than the world being directly occupied.

Firefly.

Just as Firefly was contemplating the future of this world, especially the fact that she wouldn't disappear again after leaving, Tsumuri's voice interrupted her.

Looking up, I saw Tsumuri pulling Melo toward me.

"Let me go! I don't want to die!"

Melo was still struggling, but she was completely unable to resist as Tsumuri held her firmly in place.

"Hmph, behave yourself."

To make Melo behave, Tsumuri then asked Firefly.

"Firefly, what should we do with her?"

"Leave it to me."

Looking at Melo in front of me, this guy is also a very restless individual who needs to be dealt with properly.

"Good."

Tsumuri didn't ask any further questions and handed Mello over to Firefly. Firefly then used even more stringent methods to control her, but she would seriously consider how to deal with Firefly later.

It definitely won't be easy for her, and they won't let her off the hook.

"Firefly-chan".

At that moment, Keiwa Sakurai and the others also came over. After noticing Firefly, they quickened their pace and jogged over.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

"The world crisis has now been resolved, and peace has returned."

Seeing the group of people appear, Firefly jumped down from the steps and started talking to them about the current situation of Earth and the firewall.

"That would be great."

After hearing what Firefly said, Keiwa Sakurai couldn't help but feel happy. Although it couldn't be said that the earth would be absolutely peaceful in the future, it was still something to be thankful for.

It's not like Future People or aliens can come and cause trouble in this world.

"Besides that, I have a few more things to give you, which can turn the tide if a crisis really comes."

"Even if plant disasters happen again in the future!"

She drew some very powerful items, although most of them had significant negative effects, but some were slightly less so.

Moreover, this thing is like Nuclear Weapon; you can do without it, but you can't live without it.

Even if it's just for deterrence.

She plans to hand it over to them, but there will be many restrictions; it won't be something one person can use freely.

"Huh? Isn't it Firefly-chan's cursing?"

Keiwa Sakurai and the others were puzzled. Wasn't there Firefly-chan? Wasn't this unnecessary?

"I haven't always been here either."

This is only one world. Although I am very strong now, what is it compared to the power of the Aeon?

After she clears all twelve worlds and gains even greater power, she will then connect to all the worlds she has visited. Only then will she truly remain forever.

Hearing what Firefly said, although he hesitated a little, he did not ask any more questions.

Protecting the world is not just the responsibility of the Firefly alone; they also have to do their best.

They handed over some items that could influence the outcome to Keiwa Sakurai and the others, and then stayed for a while before going home.

Firefly checked her haul, and this time her harvest was exceptionally rich, far exceeding anything she had ever seen before.

He twice reversed the fate of world destruction, completely resolved the DGP operation, killed Suel, defeated the Fox God, killed Mela, destroyed the Jamato World Tree, and mastered the Creation Power...

A total of 42,000 Points.

What a fantastic harvest!

"We've already cleared this world, so let's not continue to improve Firefly's strength for now. Let's save 10,000 Points for the next world and use 32,000 for card draws to enrich our reserves."

32,000 Points, exactly 200 pulls, two pity pulls, I wonder what I'll get?

Without much thought, Firefly started a large-scale lottery draw. Anyway, the items she won could be used in later worlds, so there was no waste.

But for some reason, her luck seemed to have turned bad. She didn't see a single double purple item in ten consecutive pulls, and the guaranteed purple items were all things like Light Cone.

Then, the first gold coin appeared right after the guaranteed minimum.

[(Golden) Light Cone - An Indispensable Thing]

"Still the Light Cone..."

Looking at the guaranteed gold item, the girl was even more disappointed. Although the Light Cone was nice, she would have preferred something else.

And this is still the Destruction Path Light Cone. She already has Destruction Path Light Cone in her hand, which is already associated with an Aeon. In comparison, this Light Cone seems not very useful.

After thinking about it, she continued, getting a little carried away.

She seemed determined to get what she wanted, but the result disappointed her; she only got the guaranteed gold item again.

Of course, this time it's not Light Cone anymore.

Instead...

[A Stellar Core About to Explode (Gold)]

"The impending eruption of the star core?"

Firefly glanced at its description.

A Stellar Core About to Explode

Item Description: The moment you take it out, the star core will explode on your planet. Be careful.

So, is this a reward or a punishment?

She already has a sealed star core, and now another bomb has arrived, one that's about to explode.

A bit big-headed.

The girl spent all 32,000 Points and didn't get anything that really surprised her, especially the two guaranteed gold items, which were both pretty useless.

However, the guaranteed purple items did include some very useful items, such as a large number of purple Light Cone, as well as some Oddities, Relics, and destiny items.

I already have three purple items that Step Onto the Path, and adding those I obtained before, I have four in total, not counting those that are destined to vanish.

Since there are extras, we can send our knights on their Step Onto the Path to better protect the world that belongs to us.

In the girl's eyes, this world already belongs to her. Everything in the world now is something she created and shaped, so it doesn't belong to her.

Before she returns here as Aeon, she naturally needs to be well protected by those she recognizes.

Just as Firefly was about to go find them, Nene Arakawa arrived first and her Firefly, "Firefly-chan, are you leaving this world?"

"... Hmm, how did you know?"

Firefly did not deny it.

"It feels like what you did before was an explanation of what would happen after you left."

Nene Arakawa is not stupid after all; she could tell from Firefly's previous actions.

Moreover, Firefly herself is not from this world. She is Stellaron Hunters who will travel to various worlds to resolve Star Core disasters, and it is impossible for her to stay in one place forever.

"So that's how it is..."

Yes, her behavior was too obvious; she didn't try to hide it at all.

Anyone with eyes can tell at a glance.

"... Will he come back again?"

After a long silence, Nene Arakawa didn't ask if she could stay, but instead inquired if she would come back.

Having learned about the work of the Stellaron Hunters, she didn't think she should keep her.

Of course.

Firefly answered this very confidently.

This is my own backyard world, how could I not come back? As long as I finish the mission and obtain the power of the Aeon, I will definitely return.

"That's good."

Upon hearing this, Nene Arakawa breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, Neiyin, you've come at the right time. Before you leave... let me help you Step Onto the Path's path!"

"The Path of Destiny?"

"Yes, a transcendent path completely different from Kamen Rider."

After saying that, Firefly used the item that could designate someone to embark on a path that suited their destiny on Nene Arakawa.

With the disappearance of the props, Nene Arakawa officially embarked on her destiny journey, becoming Path Walker.

"It's actually... Harmony destiny..."

That's really surprising.

Seeing Nene Arakawa become Path Walker with the help of the items, and step into the Harmony Destiny, Firefly was slightly surprised.

Xipe, the Aeon of Harmony, is a cluster of Aeon from multiple harmonious celestial worlds.

Xipe, a woman of many faces yet unified in spirit, sings of harmonious joy.

In order to defy the merciless laws of the universe, intelligent life needs to erase its weak desires and individual differences, and merge into the same harmonious melody—the strong helping the weak, and the dead protecting the living.

"What's wrong with Firefly-chan? Is there something wrong with Harmony fate?"

Noticing the Firefly's expression, Nene Arakawa asked hesitantly.

"It's nothing, just a bit of an accident. Don't worry, everything will be fine..."

Although they embarked on the Harmony path of destiny, none of them looked across different worlds to see them. They were able to Step Onto the Path entirely because of the power of the system.

There's no need to worry too much.

"Oh."

Hearing what Firefly said, Nene Arakawa felt relieved.

Next, Firefly and Nene Arakawa gave a general explanation of the Fate Path and the Aeon, which gave her a better understanding of the Path Walker and would be more helpful for her future journey.

Since Nene Arakawa had already been given the items, the others couldn't be left behind. Firefly then took out the remaining three items for embarking on the path of destiny and designated Keiwa Sakurai, Tsumuri, and Sara Sakurai to embark on the path of destiny.
