Danrito, become a consultant for the Millennium Game!

"The vanguard has entered the catacombs! We've spotted the Arius troops blocking our way and are engaging them!"

The Holy Trinity troops, first to enter the catacombs, sent a message to their headquarters. Just ten minutes after entering the catacombs, they encountered Arian students ambushed within the labyrinth. Clearly, the enemy knew this was the final gateway to the Arian Autonomous Region. Even with the labyrinth's protection, they wouldn't allow the Holy Trinity troops to advance unimpeded—a labyrinth was something that could be conquered with time.

As the leader of the Justice Realization Committee, Ichika was on the front lines directing the other students to attack. "The enemy is using the favorable terrain to counterattack. Our offensive is unlikely to be effective!"

"Let me take charge here—I'm quite confident in my own martial arts abilities."

Mika raised her submachine gun and said, "Let me open a path for you all."

"Hmm...is this the direction?" Mika raised her hand and roughly aimed in the direction of the Arian Autonomous Region based on the road she had walked before. "I'm actually not very good at navigating mazes. However, as long as the walls of the maze are destroyed, I shouldn't have to worry about getting lost in the maze, right?"

A halo flickered overhead, a radiance as bright as the starry sky, surging from the weapon. A powerful, mysterious force surged with Mika's shots, and the same technique she had used in her earlier battle with Danrito was unleashed upon the maze walls before her. The bullets transformed into spiraling balls of energy, surging with overwhelming force, tearing a chasm through the ground before them. They charged straight into the layers of maze walls, platforms, and hidden passages before them, crushing everything in their path into dust!

"Where's the spell reversal?" Danrito grumbled unconsciously, and casually transformed into Kamen Rider again: "But Mika, you think the same as me~ Since the maze is difficult, then don't go!"

"Trace on!"

With a casual gesture, Danrito projected a brand-new gashacon from the game world. Just like the sparrow bow that had been damaged by the God Billion's immense energy, this time, Danrito had also expanded it with the dual card slots needed to read "God's Limit X." "For dealing with the maze walls, this weapon is more suitable!"

"So Mr. Danrito also has a proper gun-like weapon," Hifumi, who had been accompanying him, said curiously. "But Mr. Danrito's weapons all look very toy-like, very plastic. I don't mean to look down on them, though!"

"Indeed, I usually see swords, bows, and hammers..." Zi nodded and admitted, "This is the first time I've used a gun properly."

"It's easy to use. I'll use whichever one is more comfortable." Danrito switched his gashacon to rifle mode and inserted "God's Limit X" directly into the special move slot. "Let it go, let it go. It's irresponsible to get hit!"

"The winning move!"

A dense energy gathered at the muzzle. The immense energy condensed within the weapon's body caused the entire Magnum to tremble continuously, as if a heart-pounding pressure was emanating from it. Without Danrito saying a word, the students standing in front of his beam of light retreated of their own accord. Even the Arius students who had followed Beatrice's orders and stepped forward to block the attack dared not remain in front of the gun's radiant purple light.

"Rewind! Rewind!!"

The students of Arius shouted and retreated, and the students of Holy Trinity did the same. With Danrito behind them, gathering immense energy as if in a joke, no one wanted to physically experience what it felt like to stand in the firing line.

'God Maximum - Critical Finiiiish! ! ! '

Like the positron bomber cannon depicted in comics, an extremely large laser beam shot out from the average-sized rifle in Danrito's hand, attracting even more attention than what Mika had just done.

“Fire——!!”

Danrito shouted happily, and the light emitted from the barrel of the gun in his hand, at the moment the laser beam was fired, the devastating purple light also flashed the eyes of Hifumi who leaned forward curiously: "My eyes!"

"Don't look into the bright light, understand?"

Danrito casually rubbed the captain's sunglasses off with his pantyhose and put them on Hifumi's face, "What do you say? Isn't my special move powerful enough?"

Originally, the gashacon's Magnum rifle fired little more than a powerful, special attack, at best varying in power depending on the cartridge inserted. However, the "God of Limit X" cartridge offered a boost that defied conventional calculations. Danrito, in particular, had modified the weapon's special attack slot, forcing the otherwise ordinary gashacon weapon to wield the power of the God of Gaming.

The result——

"Ah, it's broken."

The mace in Danrito's hand transformed into a flash of data before shattering to the ground. After unleashing a billion-level ultimate move at full power, the mace, unable to withstand the excessive energy output, instantly shattered.

"Hmm...it seems that only weapons at the level of keyboard swords can withstand the input of a billion-level force?"

Danrito shook off the debris in his hands. "Not necessarily. We just need to improve the weapon's strength. This hastily crafted upgrade kit is a bit overkill. After all, this is an early-stage weapon, so being able to fire a single round is pretty solid."

Danrito casually flung his hands, while the students before him were already jaws dropping at the destructive power he displayed. Following a single laser strike, a molten trail, still radiating heat, stretched from the entrance of their formation to the end of their sight, forcibly piercing the entire maze.

Such widespread destruction seemed to have stretched the catacombs' protective mechanisms to their limits, halting the previously constantly evolving catacombs' maze and significantly impacting the mechanisms within. And with Danrito's ultimate move clearing the way to the Arian Autonomous Region, Beatrice's vain attempt to block Danrito's advance through the catacombs was completely thwarted.

Perhaps, the master decided not to take action because he saw Danrito use the ultimate move of "God's Limit X" to intercept all the cruise missiles.

The student couldn't see the horror of that ultimate move, but the master was no fool!

"Beadoriche is doomed to fail."

The man in black tightened his tie and shook his head regretfully, saying, "Let us observe a moment of silence to mourn Madam's impending departure from the Society of Secret Societies."

"Surrender, Arius!"

"We are here to liberate Arius from his current oppression!"

Trinity's campaign of persuasion began, explaining its purpose in simple terms. Meanwhile, former Arius students like Azusa and Saori took the lead. Recalling Beatrice's treatment of them and their lives at Arius, these students hesitated for a moment, then, while not surrendering, each of them retreated.

Only a handful of students chose to approach the Holy Trinity troops directly. After all, after years of brainwashing and instigation by Beatrice, their hatred for the Holy Trinity couldn't be dispelled with a few simple words. Their current softening of attitude was largely due to the volley Danrito had just fired.

She penetrated the maze from its entrance to its exit, shattering Arius's geographical advantage in the most direct and violent manner. This apparent power disparity could easily crush the defenses of any resistance—unless someone believed her body was even harder than the maze's walls.

"The catacombs were breached?!"

In her own palace, Beatrice could hardly believe her ears.

The Arius student who hurriedly reported back looked terrified: "The entire maze has been pierced by an unknown and powerful firepower!"

"Damn it! Such a useless thing!"

Her blood rushed to her, turning her already red skin even redder. Her usual elegance was now exposed, and she was furious. Looking at the students before her, she wanted to whip them to vent her anger, but then she remembered that she still had to rely on them to pass orders and fight. She forced herself to suppress her action and asked coldly, "How many troops are left?"

The student lowered his head: "Twenty-eight action teams..."

"Take out the remaining weapons! Drag them into a street fight!"

Beatrice clenched her fan. "Fight the Holy Trinity to the bitter end on every inch of the autonomous region! Use every street, every building, every wall as cover and wage a war of attrition against them!"

"Don't forget who brought you to this miserable state! It was those people from the Holy Trinity who exiled you!" Beatrice reached out and grabbed the student on the ground, then lifted her up by her chin. "You are not allowed to surrender to the Holy Trinity! In my territory, there is no salvation, no mercy!"

"Yes...ma'am..."

The student answered with difficulty, and then Beatrice let go of his hand. The student fell to the ground with a thud and crawled out of the palace.

"Each one is more useless than the other..."

Beatrice had seen the video footage sent by the Black Suit at that time. It was the scene when Danrito and other students were fighting against the Prophet Vina and the Knight of Providence, which was filmed by the Black Suit from a long distance.

However, after witnessing Danreto's strength, Beatrice, while impressed, acknowledged that switching to video game cartridges was indeed a different path from her own, and that Danreto had advanced further along this path than they had. However, the sight of several students helping out in the video had clouded Beatrice's judgment, leaving her with a unclear understanding of Danreto's true strength. This feeling of being underestimated had inflamed her, leading her to her reckless challenge to Danreto.

"Perhaps they obtained some ancient weapon. Kivotos has a wealth of technological heritage in this area. Did the Holy Trinity spend all its resources?"

Beatrice thought so and clenched her fists. She could feel the malice and mysterious energy surging under her skin. That was her ultimate move.

"It is the gathering of the mysteries of Arius. I have exploited and plundered it for so long. This power shall be used by me today!"

Standing in the familiar Arius, Azusa didn't feel like she was returning home. Returning home brings warmth because there are beautiful memories there, but whether it was Azusa, Saori, or Atsuko, all they felt in this Arius were painful and cruel memories.

"It doesn't matter. Just start building up these happy memories slowly now."

Henshin! (Transformation)

What's your destiny?

Questions and Answers of the Soul, What’s the Answer? (心のQuestion and Answer, Answerえはなんだ?)

Azusa, transformed into a black and white Kamen Rider, nodded slightly, apologized to his fellow Arius in front of him, and then used his fists, feet and questions to knock them down one by one.

"A world where everyone can feel happy exists!"

Azusa took the holy sword of gashacon thrown by Danrito and defeated a large number of Arius' students. "Even if we are plagued by suffering, we must never give up the hope of happiness! But the actions of 'Madam' have robbed Arius of the possibility of happiness! She has robbed Arius of the possibility of moving towards the future! She has imprisoned us Arius in the cage of 'past hatred'!"

Zi shouted loudly, her words more penetrating than her fists and sword. As she continued to shout, the resistance of the surrounding Arius students gradually weakened.

"The shackles called 'suffering' bound my body, but my spirit never yielded!"

Some people stared at the noble figure through the lenses of the mask, some forgot to pull the trigger again, and some stood there in a daze.

Gradually, the sound of the gunfire became quieter and quieter, and the only sound on the battlefield was Zi's slightly hoarse voice shouting. She reached out and pulled out her cassette, revealing her true appearance in front of everyone.

"Listen to me! Fellow citizens of Arius!"

Azusa stood high above the ruins: "I, Shirasu Azusa, have a dream!"

"I want Arius to become our 'paradise'!"

"Be it happiness or redemption, even if everything turns out to be nothing, this hope for the future will never fade!"

Zi raised his right hand and pointed his index finger to the sky. The always gray sky of Arias seemed to clear up at this moment.

"——I will never tolerate such a thing!!"

Beatrice finally appeared, her voice furious and sinister, her gaze fixed on Shirasu Azusa, the unremarkable Arius student she had never remembered before. "How dare you talk about redemption and hope on my turf! Such things can never exist!"

"We've already done our best to eliminate any instruments that could possibly play the Song of Mercy, so what's this theory of resistance?" Beatrice glanced at Mika in the crowd. "Isn't this even wrong? This kind of story..."

In a trance, Beatrice remembered what the master had said: "This is not a story between you and me. It was already shattered when Danrito appeared."

"So... all these changes were caused by this guy Danrito!"

Nine five zero one eight zero nine zero nine

Beatrice looked at the only adult. At that moment, Danrito was tugging at his ears in boredom. "It's you who ruined my script!"

"Ah... what a gossipy person you are. What a miserable person."

Danrito snapped his pinky finger and met Beatrice's gaze, facing this furious lady without a trace of fear.

"How do you say that? It's time to take on the stage boss, right?"

Beatrice clapped her fan, her expression horrifyingly grim. "Students... must sing the praises of hatred, contempt, and curses! They are meant to be oppressed by us in a hell of mutual deception and harm!"

"Tan. Li. Dou!"

Beatrice shouted angrily, "You've ruined my plan! Even though I respect you as a fellow believer, I'm going to make you pay!!"

"—who do you think you're talking to?"

Danrito held the 10 billion cassette in his right hand, looking down upon the enraged woman before him. The cassette suddenly pulsed like a heart, a terrifying pressure.

His eyes flashed with purple light. "How dare a mere mediocre person speak so arrogantly in front of the God among Gods?"

The blockade was broken at this moment.

"Feel the power of the Supreme God!"

——God Maximum mighty X! !

.

.

.

275. Now, my level is one billion!!

"Taste this power of the Supreme God!"

Danrito held up the purple cassette and pressed the start button.

"God Maximum X!"

The cassette released a faint purple light, and a power that did not belong to Kivotos surged out of it. It was his own divine power, this was "God Maximum X"!

Hifumi, who was closest to Danrito, seemed to be able to feel his own heartbeat, and under the pressure so close to him, it made a sound like a drum.

Azusa was also shocked by the cartridge that Danrito took out. She turned to Fen, who had appeared out of nowhere, and said, "Hey, are you also transferring a game cartridge?"

"Yes, that's a high-level game cartridge." Fen explained softly to Zi, "It's something beyond the ordinary cartridge. If the highest level of ordinary game cartridges is ninety-nine, that cartridge is already above that."

"Ohhh... That's it! That's it...!"

Thousands of miles away, Heifu was so excited that the cold flames in his eyes swelled several times. "This is... Danrito's [Secret]! This is Danrito's [Path]!"

"What the hell is this...?"

Dragon fruit...ah no, Beatrice's red eyes widened, and a vague feeling came from her heart.

It seems like... I will lose?

“grade billion.”

He lowered his clasped hands, and the game cartridge that embodied magnificent power was inserted into the player drive that had appeared on his waist at some point. Danrito reached out and pulled the lever of the drive. Music like praise came from all around, giving this sacred feeling a 'game' style.

“Gachan!

Not-destructible-!

The highest divine talent! Kuroto Da-n! Kuroto Da-n!

The highest divine talent! Reito Tan! Reito Tan! "

"Transform."
