Chapter 73
It's essential to be generous when dealing with your own people or those who protect your own world.
It benefits both sides.
Then Keiwa Sakurai embarked on a path of Preservation, while his older sister Sara Sakurai embarked on Abundance Path.
For some reason, the last Tsumuri is Remembrance.
With the power of Kamen Rider and Destiny, plus a series of backup plans he left behind, this world will be fine even after he leaves, unless those top-tier Kamen Riders appear.
If even those individuals have appeared, the girl's current abilities would be useless, even in this world.
Even the Emanator was helpless!
Unless the Aeon himself comes, no, even the Aeon can't say for sure...
That's it!
Time to move on to the next world.
Standing atop Tokyo Tower, looking at the world that belonged to her, and making sure she had everything in order and hadn't forgotten anything, Firefly quietly disappeared from the world.
The next journey begins.
While conquering the world, one should not forget the scenery along the way, so that the trip will not be in vain.

P. S.: In summary, although there were some minor issues with the plot, it did finish completely, and I feel it's better than my previous works. However, the grades are the worst ever, even worse than the previous volume, which I don't understand. That's all for now, see you in the new volume.
Chapter 1 Clara and Mr. Svarog
The sky was a clear, cloudless blue, and the sun hung high in the sky, mercilessly casting its scorching rays upon every inch of the land.
Meanwhile, in the forest below, the scorching sunlight became dim and blurry, with only dappled light and shadow visible through the gaps in the leaves.
The ground beneath our feet was even a little damp, making a crunching sound when we stepped on it.
A damp, decaying smell permeated the air, a mixture of earth and fallen leaves that made one feel somewhat nauseous.
It was in this environment that a pitiful-looking white-haired girl appeared.
She looked to be around ten years old, with long white hair flowing down her back, bright red eyes, and her overall outfit was predominantly red with white accents.
They give off the impression of being easy to bully, as if they'll burst into tears at any moment.
Those fair and tender feet were completely exposed to the air, and as they stepped on the ground, their cute and delicate toes moved around a little uncomfortably.
It was white with a rosy tint, like a crystal-clear little pearl.
"Now, have I... arrived in the new world?"
The lovely white-haired girl hesitated and looked around, but the environment here was not enough to explain anything; it was just an ordinary mountain forest.
However, the changes in my own body were very obvious.
The most obvious difference, besides the change in appearance, is that the power that originally belonged to Firefly has completely disappeared.
The girl's first impression of this body was... weakness.
Yes, this body was extremely weak compared to Firefly's, almost like an ordinary person. Going from a warrior in interstellar war to an ordinary person... left her somewhat unaccustomed to it.
She should have arrived in a new world by now, but she doesn't know what this world is like, or whether it will be more dangerous or safer.
What are the conditions for clearing the world?
Before thinking about these things, the girl first checked her current physical condition, and then, after looking down at her cute little feet, she roughly knew who she had become.
Clara, the homeless girl who lived with machines and was very popular during the Star Rail's public beta.
Unlike Firefly, who has a vast backstory, Clara's identity is relatively simple.
She lived in the Underworld of Belobog and was adopted by robots at a young age; she was a girl raised by enslaved robots.
She adopts many homeless people from the Underworld by communicating with robots. Clara also considers Svarog, the robot who adopted her, as family.
"She's turned into Clara..."
If it's Clara, she won't be as powerful as she was as Firefly in the previous world. Clearing the world would be almost impossible... and the difficulty would be much greater.
Clara herself doesn't even have any combat ability...
Whether in the game's storyline or as a playable character, Clara's combat power primarily stems from the large robot, Svarog, whom she can call family.
Without Svarog, Clara alone would be in big trouble.
"Mr. Svarog, are you there?"
Clara hesitated and called out to Svarog. In this strange world, as Clara, she needed... and could only rely on Svarog.
If Svarog weren't around, even the strongest person wouldn't be able to do many things.
Although Clara possesses excellent mechanical repair skills, she still needs suitable machines to repair.
Clara, I'm here.
Suddenly, a huge robot appeared behind Clara. Although its voice was mechanical, it clearly showed how much it cared about Clara.
"Mr. Svarog, that's wonderful!!"
Clara turned around and looked at the super cool robot in front of her, her beautiful eyes shining with joy.
The initial anxiety subsided, and with Mr. Svarog around, at least basic safety was no longer a concern.
Svarog is somewhat like Shockwave from Transformers: Leader of the Legion, exuding a powerful aura and a sense of security. Its combat system is also outstanding.
Svarog is an ancient relic from the Old World, an automatic control unit left over from the era of the Geodetic Pioneer Group.
However, unlike most mindless machines that merely follow instructions, Svarog possesses complex thinking abilities. In battle Svarog can unleash powerful firepower and summon mechanical arms to grab and control enemies, delivering heavy blows to their targets.
While it may not be as good as those top-tier combat units, it depends on who you're comparing it to.
Moreover, with the help of the system, both the Light Cone and the Destiny Enhancement can increase Svarog's strength, making it even more powerful.
I will protect you, Clara.
To reassure Clara, Svarog spoke again.
Its feelings for Clara are like a father's feelings for his daughter, only as a robot it cannot express them and can only show them through its actions.
Throughout the Underworld, almost everyone knew that the robot named Svarog was opposed to the vast majority of residents. Yet, he displayed almost human-like emotional logic and thought processes only towards a little girl named Clara.
Although blood and engine oil cannot mix, they did build a relationship that was almost like family.
"Does Mr. Svarog know what kind of world this is?"
Clara naturally trusted Svarog, believing he would protect her immediately, and no longer worried about the unfamiliar environment. Then, she curiously inquired about him.
[Unable to calculate.]
Svarog paused for a moment before giving this answer, after all, he had only just arrived and had not obtained any valuable information.
"I see. Then let's leave here first."
Indeed, there are no buildings or people here, only forests. We need to find valuable information first.
Of course, you can also ask the system.
However, once you enter the new world, there is a countdown timer in the system, and the conditions for clearing the game will probably only be updated after the countdown ends.
The mountain path was difficult to walk on, especially since Clara wasn't wearing shoes. Walking barefoot on the branches and twigs was very uncomfortable...
Many places were actually potholes covered by fallen leaves; if you stepped into one, you would fall flat on your face.
No one has ever been here, so there obviously wouldn't be any paths, and it wouldn't be easy to walk through.
Although Clara may seem frail, she is actually quite strong-willed and will not back down because of this.
Chapter 2 Three Compatible Destinies
Clara, calculations show this place isn't suitable for walking. Come onto me.
Seeing that Clara was having difficulty moving, Svarog reached out his hand to her.
"... Okay, sure."
Clara thought about what Svarog said and realized that if she continued on this path, she didn't know when she would be able to get out, and she would also get hurt.
Without hesitation, it went into Svarog's hands, and was helped to sit on its back, where Svarog led it out of the forest.
Those branches and weeds posed no obstacle whatsoever to Svarog's steel body, greatly increasing his movement speed.
Sitting on Mr. Svarog's lap, Clara looked around with curiosity, a rather peculiar feeling.
It's like being inside a Transformer or Mecha. Before, Firefly transformed into Mecha; now she moves alongside Mecha.
With Svarog leading the way, the girl shifted her consciousness to something else. Many of the items she had drawn from the previous world were well preserved, and Clara checked them one last time.
Once I confirmed that those things were still usable in this world, I felt completely at ease.
Besides items like Light Cone and Oddities, she also had 10,000 Points available for use at any time. However, she primarily used these Points to enhance her Power of Destiny on Svarog.
It might be because Clara's method of power enhancement is the same as Svarog's...
New World Destiny Exchange Ratio:
Destruction: 1:100
Erudition: 1:100
Preservation: 1:100
Abundance: 1:80
Harmony: 1:60
Trailblaze: 1:50
Nothingness: 1:10
The Hunt: 1:5
Pleasure: 1:1
P. S.: The Power of Destiny will have a 10% effect when applied to Clara's main body.
In this world, Clara has three most suitable destinies: Destruction, Erudition, and Preservation, each of which Points be exchanged for one hundred points of Power of Destiny.
However, the Power of Destiny that was exchanged was mainly reflected in Svarog, and Clara herself lost 10 times the amount.
That's outrageous.
Fortunately, there is no such restriction on gacha pulls.
Thinking about it carefully, that doesn't make sense. Exchanging for a destiny is a benefit that she and Mr. Svarog would both receive. Although her own body could only get one-tenth, it still meant she made a profit.
Wouldn't the two of them together get 110% of the reward?
Thinking about it this way, the girl's mood improved considerably.
"Mr. Svarog, shall we use the Points now to enhance our Power of Destiny?"
Looking at the remaining 10,000 Points, Clara didn't make a decision on her own, but instead consulted Svarog. She trusted Svarog's calculations, so Svarog advice was very important.
Yes, increased strength will allow us to better face this unknown new world.
Svarog immediately replied that they already had enough Oddities and Light Cone, and 10,000 Points might not even be enough to guarantee a gold item.
Drawing cards depends on luck. If you're unlucky, you won't get any upgrades even with 10,000 Points; they'll all be useless items.
