Danrito, become a consultant for the Millennium Game!

Danrito waved the pure white cassette in his hand at the three students before him. "Regardless of the form in which the Chronicle cassette's power manifests, even if I didn't intentionally incorporate this ability when crafting it, as long as this cassette belongs to the Chronicle Series, it will naturally possess the power of time."

The chronicle cartridge that Danrito is currently producing, which is the only completed "Abydos Chronicle" at present, is a special cartridge that can guide the mystery in the holder to a higher level.

In the Abytos Chronicles, after completing the transformation with the updated Fault Driver III by Danrito, Kamen Rider possesses the power to mobilize the magnificent history of the Abydos District, as well as the power of time suspension, time flow, and time deletion that seems to have become standard for legendary warriors.

The so-called power of time deletion comes from the fact that Kamen Rider Chronos can completely eliminate the Collapsers that were wiped out by his special move in the world when time is suspended.

As long as the opponent is related to the history of Abydos, they can use the "Abydos Chronicle" to erase it from history after hitting it.

"Isn't this... too strong?"

Nagisa was stunned. "Is the cassette of the Trinity Chronicle you're going to make the same one?"

"Functionally, they're the same thing." Danrito crossed his legs. "Any chronicle cartridge will possess a time ability corresponding to history."

"Such a terrifying power is not suitable for the Holy Trinity, right?"

Mika was the first to object to the appearance of the Chronicle cassette: "Danrito, you don't know how terrifying the internal strife within Trinity is. If those Hawk Faction students get their hands on the Chronicle cassette that controls Trinity's history, who knows what terrible things will happen..."

"What does that have to do with me? Just find a way to keep this power safe."

Danrito spread his hands and said, "The current Chronicle cartridge is a special game cartridge that was guided by this world. It's like the anchor of the world. Even if we try to stop its birth, it's meaningless."

"Why not use this little time to think about how to master this new power?"

Danrito left just to pass on this sudden news to the Tea Party at Trinity. After all, the Tea Party was the largest official organization at Trinity, and the head of the student union.

After dropping this bombshell news and ignoring the tea party trio who were complaining bitterly behind him, Danrito returned to the game development department.

He did not forget that the next thing he had to do was to explore the ruined city on the water in order to catch the prophet and the other source of the message.

"Hey, Danrito, we're ready!"

During the time that Danrito was away, Momo and the others had already prepared to head to the ruined city on the water.

After Danrito made it clear that the department that would be accompanying him to the message's location was the game development department, Himari delivered all the necessary supplies to the department.

"I'm in good shape and ready to go at any time."

Xiao Tao and Xiao Lu each carried a travel backpack, packed as if they were going camping, and changed into light clothing. Besides the necessary weapons, the remaining space was filled with various supplies.

"...But even so, the game console is something you absolutely must bring!"

Even if they were going to fight something as incomprehensible as the Prophet, everyone in the game development department brought their game consoles with them.

"You're on such a dangerous mission, and you still bring a game console?" Kei looked confused.

"It's okay. We all have game cartridges and player drivers now." Xiao Tao was naturally confident in the game development team's combat effectiveness: "Just like last time, let's completely overturn the Prophet and the others!"

"Oh!!"

On their way to the coordinates Himari had sent them, the game development team and Danrito had to pass through the ruins surrounding the Millennium Academy. Numerous abandoned cities surrounded the perimeter of the school, and the research institutes, abandoned for who knows how long, showed that it was through continuous advancement in the path of science that the Millennium Academy had achieved its current strength.

Among the ruins surrounding the academy, some looked very familiar, likely campuses abandoned in recent years, while others were even older, now covered in moss and vines.

On the way through the ruins, you can see some interesting scenery: the asphalt road that has cracked under the wind and sun for many years, the rusty buses on the roadside, and the vending machines that have lost power and stopped working. The drinks that may still be left in them are expired and cannot be eaten.

"It feels like... I'm gradually entering an unreal virtual world."

"By the way, I've seen an anime called 'Student's Last Tour', and it has the exact same scene as now!"

"Ah... that anime is too unlucky, isn't it?"

Yuzu, initially a bit nervous, gradually relaxed after about half an hour of venturing deeper into the ruins. Just as Danrito had said, aside from the few people they knew, there was no sign of anyone else in this deserted city.

"This seems like a perfect place for a picnic! Alice has seen scenes like this in apocalyptic series!"

Alice on the side widened her eyes with an interested look. During her long time in Millennium Academy, Alice had seen many high-tech scenes, but she had never seen ruins full of natural flavor like this one.

"This place is quite far from the city of Millennium Academy. I guess it's an abandoned area, and it must have been abandoned for a long time."

Kei followed Alice diligently and responsibly, taking the time to analyze the surrounding terrain. Then, he saw traces on the ground that looked like they had been run over by a heavy object.

"This is……"

Kei seemed to have discovered something. She approached the mark, squatted down, and compared the indentation on the ground with the surrounding environment. Then she said in a positive tone, "This mark is very new, no more than 24 hours old."

"let me see."

Behind them, Danrito walked forward. The deep marks on the ground were not limited to this one, but extended into the distance until they stepped into the city ahead, which was half submerged by groundwater.

It seems that due to an earthquake or some other reason, this area of ​​the city was flooded by water gushing out from underground, forming a lake. It seems that it was for this reason that this area was completely abandoned.

"This must be the ruined city on the water."

The characteristics of the area in front of them were so obvious that one could tell at a glance that this was their final destination.

However, this place seems to be a long way from the signal source location given by Himari, but even so, everyone has already discovered the overly obvious traces of the target they are looking for.

"Aho~ This is the pure and pitiful thousand-year-old flower of the high mountains, your Himari-senpai."

The communicators in several people's ears suddenly rang simultaneously. Himari's distinctive voice rang out from the communicator: "Everyone in the game development department, and Mr. Danrito, the source of the prophet's signal is within this ruined city. However, since the source of the signal was discovered three days ago, even if the final location is inaccurate, please don't blame it on others.

"Falling stockings? Do you have this habit?" Tan Lidou raised his eyebrows.

"Ahaha~ Just trying out a new image~"

"It's a maze-type boss battle. Alice is already getting excited!"

Alice, whose speaking habits were changed by the RPG game, excitedly declared a challenge to the water ruins city in front of her, while the old lady Kei was busy taking care of her daughter.

As for the other members of the brave team, whether it is Xiaotao, Xiaolu, or Yuzu, as well as Tianqin who just joined the game development department, and the strongest combat force Dan Lidou, they are all full of confidence in this strategy activity.

"Look at me defeating the boss without having to regenerate my life!"

Danrito was full of confidence.

328. Huh? I'm fighting a prophet? Is that true?

The ruined city, now flooded by groundwater, was once a bustling research hub thousands of years ago, dotted with numerous high-rise buildings from research institutes and the elevated bridges of those days. However, under the erosion of time, no matter how glorious the buildings once were, they are now just a forest of green concrete.

"The traces extended all the way to the overpass in front."

Kei looked up. Ruts from heavy wheels stretched across the ground, stretching all the way toward the distant viaduct. Weeds and mosses grew on the crumbling asphalt of the viaduct, likely nurtured by the birds flying nearby and the humid environment. The signs of these plants being crushed were obvious at a glance.

There are three knowledgeable collapse sources present, and their advantages in data collection and analysis are naturally needless to say.

"There is a small amount of the Collapse virus in the air, and the direction of its spread is consistent with the traces on the ground." Tianqin's eyes flashed with the same purple light. The Collapse virus seemed to be scattered as the target moved. The opponent looked like a newborn Collapse who didn't know how to control his own power.

"What is certain is that the guy who stole the cassette from the prophet 'Vina' is the one who's working here with 'Kate'."

Danrito took out the faulty driver and sucked in the free-floating Collapse Virus in the air. He then turned on the analysis function, wanting to see what kind of new type of Collapse Virus this was. It had been floating out of his and others' sight and was also related to the Prophet and the Cross God Name.

"Hmm... the analysis result is... Game God? How did Gamedues's Collapse Virus appear here?"

This sudden result was beyond the comprehension of Dan Lidou. He remembered that he had only released the Game God's Collapse Source Body to do work a few times. So where did this Collapse Source Body virus leak from?

"Let me look up some historical documents..."

After a moment of silence, Dan Lidou began to trace the origin of the collapsed virus he had captured, hoping to find out where it had first spread through its past transmission routes.

"The Collapse Virus is spinning! One billion horsepower of force! Get out!"

Under Danrito's nearly limitless computing power, the gaming god's Collapse Virus was forced to reveal its true form. On the Kivotos map condensed before Danrito, the spread of the Collapse Virus gradually emerged.

"Is there such a method?"

Xiaolu stared at the virtual map in front of him in amazement. "Just by staying in place, I can easily track the previous movements of this virus particle. If the Valkyrie police could use this ability... any crime could be easily solved, right?"

"Unfortunately, there are still restrictions on its use." Tan Lidou raised the malfunctioning driver in his hand. "This method of tracing the source is only suitable for tracking the source of the collapse. For ordinary life, other methods are used. Moreover, mature source of the collapse will not spread its virus particles so obviously during movement - unless the other party intends to do so, or cannot control themselves from doing so."

After all, the life form of the Collapse Source is digital life, and this programmed individual does not need to rely on the brain to read the past like ordinary life, but it is like opening a folder on a computer. As long as the opponent's individual defense can be broken through, these data can be easily obtained.

"However, the final destination was beyond my expectations." Dan Lidou looked at the final conclusion. "The place where the Collapse Virus first appeared... was Caesar Credit in the Abydos School District?"

Speaking of Caesar Credit in the Abydos school district, that was the firewall that Dan Lidou first traversed when he used the Kivotos network to reach Abydos. Because he needed to rush through the network to reach Abydos in a fraction of the time, Dan Lidou had a brief conflict with Caesar Enterprise's firewall.

As it turned out, with Danrito's Collapse Body, it was incredibly easy to break through the firewalls and security software currently available on the Kivotos market. In a playful mood, Danrito had even launched some Collapse Body viruses within Caesar Credit's network, destroying their internal network and servers.

It turned out that the raid was quite successful, and this inexplicably appearing collapse source body was probably grown from the collapse source body data left behind in a certain server of Caesar Credit by Danrito during the attack at that time?

"Perhaps it grew from the data of the Collapse Source Body that was not recovered back then. The world is truly amazing~"

Tan Lidou put on a helpless attitude and said, "Even a little bit of dandruff from this genius falling on the ground is a treasure that everyone in the world would fight for~"

"How disgusting! No one would want your dandruff, right?" Xiao Tao looked at Dan Lidou speechlessly. "Is this what God's dandruff is?"

God scum? God scum!

"It's a being that grew up using the data of the Gaming God. So, preventing and controlling it will take some effort..."

"Don't talk about this as if it were a flea control."

Danrito looked at the abandoned city before him. "But... to be able to grow to this point with just those scraps of virus attack, and even to be able to make his own cassettes, this guy is quite talented."

Tianqin looked at him and said, "What's wrong? Are you interested in talent?"

"How is that possible! Of course it's best to get rid of him!" Danrito made a chopping gesture with his hand. "Back in the desert, he used that strange driver to transform the prophet, and then stole that obviously bootleg cassette! How dare he use my magic against me? He must pay a heavy price!"

Following the trail left by the prophet, the group crossed the overpass before them and delved deeper into the ruins of the city. Some buildings seemed to still have their own dedicated power supply facilities. Even after so many years of abandonment, flickering lights could still be seen in the city - and some drones seemed to still be roaming.

“How do these drones even have a place to charge?”

Danrito raised his hand and blasted a security robot with his Magnum rifle, revealing the metallic hue beneath its already flaking paint. The robot, blasted with a massive hole by the powerful weapon, stumbled backward, its power completely lost as sparks flickered across its circuits.

"Perhaps it's because there's some ancient power generation equipment nearby?"

Xiaolu aimed her rifle at the hovering drones coming from the other side. These seemed to be security robots left over from a previous era of abandonment, and they posed no threat at all. There was no need to make a fuss about transforming to deal with them. "Ancient battery technology is said to be very advanced, and even a long time would be difficult to completely destroy them."

"But that only applies to 'ancient technology,'" Tianqin said, looking towards the distant research institute building. "As for power generation facilities using modern technology, you'll have to rely on luck. After decades of abandonment, it's only natural that a city without 'mystery' resident would become desolate."

"Just like a game console that has not been used for a long time will break down..." Yuzu added.

Traces on the ground and the presence of the Collapse Virus in the air all pointed the way to the target location. With Himari also tracking and relaying information to Danrito, about half an hour later, Danrito and the game development team finally spotted the massive white mechanical structure moving through the ruins.

"Found it! That's the prophet beneath the Cross God's throne! The Sephiroth [Kether] representing the [Crown]!"

Seeing the prophet 'Kate' through a long-distance camera, Himari became excited. "If we can destroy this machine, the Cross God's pawns will become fewer and fewer!"

The massive machine moving among the ruins seemed to be an old-model defense robot abandoned in an underground hangar years ago. It was as agile as a four-legged spider, yet heavily armored like a crab. While it didn't seem to get stronger with age, its immense mass and ability to switch between three attack modes made this old beast still quite intimidating.

The white body symbolizes the pure and flawless "sephirah", and the huge halo on the head also represents that it possesses a "mystery" that is completely different from that of its students. This is the "follower" enlightened by the cross god.

"So the goal is to destroy them directly? You really are good at ordering people around."

Danrito's eyes swept over the prophet in front of him. Just as he expected, the huge machine in front of him was covered with a thick layer of the Collapse Virus. Outside the usual white body, the orange virus enveloped the surroundings in the form of clouds, and virus lightning appeared around it from time to time.

"Has it been enhanced by the Collapse Virus?" Danrito's gaze swept across the massive machine before him, trying to find the same slot for the game cartridge as last time. He scanned the exterior twice but couldn't find the cartridge. After a moment's effort, Danrito began scanning the interior of the machine before him, finally finding the game cartridge hidden within.

"God's Will: The Visage of the Saint", a game cartridge from the same series as the "God's Will: The Conversion of the Ecstasy" seen above Vina's head before, but it seems that the process of taking the cartridge away at the last moment has been learned from the previous one. This time, this special cartridge was hidden by the culprit inside Kate's huge body.

"The only way to get the cassette out is to smash this guy."

Danrito reached out to Yuzu, who was standing beside him, and pointed at Kate in front of him: "Yuzu, go and give it two slaps!"

Yuzu pointed at her large forehead in disbelief: "Is this true? I'm fighting a prophet?"

"It's okay." Danrito patted her shoulder confidently, "We will win."

"...Why does this sentence feel strange? Is it really not a pre-war flag?"

Amidst the shouts of "Come on, Yuzi!" from Xiaotao, Xiaolu and the others on the side, Yuzi had already taken out the "Maximum Uzi X" cassette that was given to him and swallowed seriously.

Since you are going to do it, then give it your all!

Gamer drive!

1//

Strapping the player driver around her waist, Yuzu looked intently at the prophet Kate before her. She had also noticed the noisy group. While they looked like they were out to subjugate it, why did they look like they were just out for a picnic? They didn't see it as a threat at all, and were even yelling for one of them to come up and deal with it alone?

'Understanding is impossible'

Yuzu pressed the button on the cassette in her hand, and the sound of starting up played: "Extreme Yuzu X!"

Inserting the cartridge firmly into the player drive with both hands, Yuzu reached out and pressed the upgrade lever: "Next, it's my stage! Henshin!"
