While Director Caesar was wondering who had sent this purple bastard to disrupt the situation, the outpost was gradually approaching. The continuous explosions from inside proved that the armored forces he had originally intended to use to stop other disruptors were constantly being depleted. According to intelligence, the enemy was even only one person!
Only one person!!
Looking at an armed helicopter that crashed in the sand not far away, and the charred Crusader tanks emitting black smoke in the distance, Director Caesar felt his heart bleeding.
"Nimma! My armored forces!"
Director Caesar was completely unsettled. This person causing trouble at the outpost clearly wasn't here for peace talks; it seemed like they were acting so recklessly just to stir up trouble. The problem was, if it was a large force from another group coming to confront him, he'd feel better. But according to the soldiers ahead, it seemed their enemy was just one person?!
The soldier beside him tilted his head to take in the battle report from the front line, then reported: "Boss, there's more than one person, it seems there are two students..."
And, two, students?!
Director Caesar is a robot and has no heartbeat, but he can now feel what it feels like to have his heart pounding with anger.
"Adding two more students is no reason to be beaten so badly!"
He was so angry that he almost flew out of the jeep. "Even if that shorty chairman of Gehenna was divided into two, there's no way they could handle so many armored troops! Two students..."
"Two students?"
Director Caesar was stunned for a moment, as if he had grasped the key point: "Where are the students?"
"One of them is the white sand wolf from Abydos." The soldier said hurriedly.
The jeep arrived at the station, the soldiers opened the door, and Director Caesar got out and walked towards the outpost ahead where the battle was raging. "Where's the other student?"
The soldier quickly replied, "It seems to be... one of the thugs from the Helmet Regiment. Because she was driving an armored vehicle, the soldiers guarding the gate didn't check it carefully and let it in..."
"The Helmet Regiment? They've rebelled?" Caesar asked in disbelief. "What do they want? What can that shabby school in Abydos offer them?"
"I don't know..."
"What use are you! You're a waste!"
The sounds of gunfire and artillery fire around Director Caesar gradually intensified. Although the outpost was still a short distance away, a large number of tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery positions were already piled up here. Only mechanical soldiers kept rushing towards the center of the battlefield, and the armed helicopters in the sky did not even dare to get too close to the center of the battlefield. They only dared to hover far away, continuously pouring fire on the center of the battlefield with machine guns.
"Boss! It's dangerous ahead, don't get any closer!"
When the nearby soldiers saw Director Caesar coming, none of them had time to salute. It seemed that the battle had indeed kept them all so busy that they could hardly be distracted. These soldiers who stayed at the safest possible distance kept firing mortar shells until the barrels were completely red hot - as for whether they hit anyone, that was not their concern.
37. Now, you are surrounded by me alone!
In the center of the battlefield, the purple Kamen Rider stirred the tide of battle, defeating the mechanical soldiers one by one. Danrito grasped the Gashacon bird-shaped bow, and a torrential rain of light arrows swept across the field, causing the mechanical soldiers to fall to the ground and explode.
"My power is unmatched in the world!"
Danrito laughed heartily, inserted the cassette from his waist into the slot of the bird-shaped bow, and reached out to press the key. Energy gathered at the bird-shaped bow's light arrow output port and then erupted, transforming into a golden rain of light that filled the sky.
Mighty Critical Finish!
The golden arrows in the sky seemed to have found their targets, and each arrow locked onto an enemy. No matter if it was a mechanical soldier, an armored vehicle, or an armed helicopter, they all turned into exploding flames indiscriminately after this almost cheating, all-tracking rain of arrows fell.
whoosh-
A bolt of light slid down from the sky. It didn't lock onto any other target, but instead flew straight towards Director Caesar's head. Having just witnessed a lightning bolt bring down a helicopter, Director Caesar was horrified and instinctively turned and ran. But the arrow fell even faster, landing with incredible precision right in front of Director Caesar's face, forcing Director Caesar to stop in his tracks.
"Yo. Are you the leader of this group?"
Standing before Director Caesar was Kamen Rider Genm, who had appeared out of nowhere. He was tossing a bottle of dangerous-looking liquid up and down in his hands. While it was unclear what the liquid was for, it gave Director Caesar a sense of danger.
"Are you the one who attacked our Caesar Group?"
Director Caesar's eyes swept over Danrito, as if he wanted to completely etch his image into his memory. But Danrito didn't remove his Kamen Rider armor, so Director Caesar let him see. All he could remember was Kamen Rider Genm.
It was genm who beat you up like this, what does it have to do with me, Danrito?
"It's really me."
Usuki 0 also Ⅱ 瀏 邇 求令
Danrito held a gashacon bird-shaped bow in his left hand and a projectile he had made in advance using an alchemy player cartridge in his right hand—a bottle of alchemy potion that could turn a circular area in front of him into a slow zone.
"This guy is the one who destroyed my troops like this..."
The devastating scene surrounding Director Caesar, and the unharmed appearance of Dan Lidou before him, clearly proved that this mysterious figure was far more formidable than his own armored forces in direct combat. The mechanical soldier reporting secretly to him informed him that 40% of his armored forces had been destroyed, including precious attack helicopters and main battle tanks, while the number of soldiers had been reduced by more than half—all because of this unknown bastard in the purple tights!
But at the same time, the guy in front of him also proved his strength with force - enough for Director Caesar to take him seriously.
Director Caesar freed up his memory for a moment and calmed himself down. "Excuse me, what is your name?"
"Kamen Rider, Genm."
Danrito was also sizing up the burly robot before him. He was wearing luxurious clothing not worn by ordinary mechanical soldiers. Judging by the material, it must be of a very high-quality fabric. Since when did robots begin to pursue material comforts?
"They say that more than 90% of the city of Kivotos is maintained by intelligent robots, including robots of this level?"
Danrito looked at the mechanical soldiers in front of him, his mind filled with confusion: "Automatically launching military operations and using financial means to extort money, how can these be intelligent robots? Where did this malicious program come from? Is it because of something like this that Abydos has been squeezed to its current state?"
"Mr. Genm, I need to remind you that this is on Caesars Corporation's private territory. This land was purchased by Caesars Corporation using legal procedures." The Caesars director's expression was a little unpleasant. He must be a little unhappy that so many of his armed forces were destroyed for no reason. "What you did has gone beyond ordinary provocation. Caesars Corporation has never been bullied to this extent. According to the laws of Kivotos, I have the right to appeal to management."
When did Caesars become so frustrated that they could only cite the laws of Kivotos? Those who used to say this were all rivals of Caesars. Of course, everything that happened afterwards proved that Caesars itself did not follow the laws of Kivotos very much.
"Really? So what?"
This threat had no effect on Danrito. He was an illegal immigrant in Kivotos, and no matter how hard the law tried, it wouldn't apply to him. And the so-called legal jurisdiction had absolutely no power to constrain Danrito. Rather, Danrito had always considered himself unconstrained by the world's common sense.
"I think you can understand the current situation, right? You are the director of Caesar Group."
Danrito was quite interested in the intelligent mechanical man before him. Kivotos's current level of intelligence had reached the point where it relied entirely on robots for city maintenance. However, these robots, which were supposed to be mere tools for maintaining the city, had now established their own corporations, even employing such nefarious financial tactics against the very people they were supposed to be protecting.
The tricks involved are indeed worth exploring in depth.
Danrito caught the slow potion he had thrown up. "The situation now is that you're surrounded by me alone. So you just have to agree to my conditions. It's that simple."
"Guuuu! Caesar Group will not succumb to the threat of force!" Director Caesar was furious at this 'intelligent machine' that appeared out of nowhere. Usually, it was Caesar who threatened others, so when was it Caesar's turn to be threatened with force?
but……
Director Caesar looked around at the dozens of destroyed tanks and helicopters, as well as the less than half-numbered mechanical soldiers at his disposal. He swallowed the last half of his harsh words and said, "So... what do you want?"
"I've never seen that expression on the Caesars board of directors..."
When Danrito leaped over to catch Director Caesar, Shiroko and Yumei remained where they were, using the armored vehicle as a cover. Yumei, a member of the Helmeted Gang, didn't see Director Caesar often, but whenever she did, the towering robot always looked arrogant and smug. She'd never seen Director Caesar so easily bullied. "I always thought Director Caesar was unbeatable..."
"It's thanks to Mr. Danrito that our attack went so smoothly." Bai Zi looked at the armored forces around him, which had been defeated by Danrito in just over ten minutes. The wreckage of tanks, armored vehicles, and attack helicopters piled up in large quantities, still crackling with flames and emitting charred black smoke. The remains of the mechanical soldiers were evenly spread across the surrounding sand, announcing Caesar's defeat.
"With this number of armored troops, there's no way I could defeat them alone..." Bai Zi mentally estimated and could only shake his head regretfully, "Even if everyone on the Countermeasures Committee were present, there's no chance of winning against an army this size."

38. My time is very valuable
"Countermeasures Committee..."
Yumei pondered the name. In their brief conversation, she'd already learned that the committee's full name was the 'Abydos School Abandonment Countermeasures Committee.' Having dealt with them several times before, Yumei knew that the committee had been hastily established when Abydos had been reduced to a single annex. From the outset, it was an 'informal club' of just five people, without even the permission of the Abydos Student Union President.
As for the former Abydos Guild President? He's long since disappeared.
Faced with a debt so massive it would crush anyone, the Strategy Committee didn't choose to transfer or drop out like other students. Instead, they bravely and formidably withstood the burden until this day. When Yumei first joined the Helmets, she heard that some in Abydos were still fighting to keep the school from closing. At that time, Yumei harbored a dark thought.
If only these people could not hold on, that would be fine. As long as they could not hold on, as long as Abydos eventually disappeared, it would prove that the path I and the others who left school had chosen was a forced, helpless choice, but also the only correct one.
Otherwise, wouldn't the choice made by me, a student of Abydos, seem too despicable and shameless?
"Baizi, what were you thinking when you first took on that debt? Was there a reason you had to take on that debt?"
Looking at Danrito arguing with Director Caesar in the distance, Yumei suddenly asked softly.
"Reasons? ...You can find as many as you want."
At Yumi's question, Baizi's eyes dropped for a moment. For a moment, he wondered, himself, and the others on the Strategy Committee, if it was truly appropriate to shoulder hundreds of millions of dollars in debt while others enjoyed their student lives while he and his colleagues worried and struggled about the school's massive debt.
“I don’t want the time I spent with everyone at school to be buried like this.”
Shiroko stretched out her fingers and twirled the scarf around her neck. She thought of Hoshino-senpai, who always loved to sleep, the one who had picked her up and brought her back to Abydos and given her this scarf. That pink-haired senior always chose the best time of day in Abydos, brought his favorite pillow, and headed to the most comfortable napping spot, where he'd laze away the entire afternoon.
"Besides, there are other people working hard for that school. How can we just give up like this?"
She is everyone's junior and the only freshman enrolled in Abydos. She always works hard in various places to pay off her school debt. She works so hard, how can she let her efforts go to waste?
“And some people are praying.”
Even after being taken back by her family, Nomiya continued to post online, hoping someone would come to Abydos to help. She always acted as a mediator between everyone with a cheerful smile, warming everyone's hearts with her bright and cheerful smile - even those delicious snacks were bought by Nomiya.
“Some people are still holding on.”
Baizi remembered how Ayane worked day and night to find ways to fill the financial gap and handle all the external relations of the school. Even when she was sick and injured and struggling on the hospital bed, she still cared about this school and everyone on the countermeasures committee.
“So, those things just naturally took over.”
Bai Zi's voice grew firmer. She had also felt like retreating, wanting to escape, but these beautiful memories kept her going. In that dark moment of near despair, no one knew what Bai Zi was thinking that led her to persist and fight on her own.
Perhaps, if things continued like that for a while longer, even the Sand Wolf White would give in. By then... No, it didn't matter, that time wouldn't come anymore.
"I want to welcome the new semester with everyone," Bai Zi said. "And then... in Abydos, I'll catch up on all the campus activities I haven't experienced yet."
Yumei listened to Baizi's words in a daze, lowered her head at a loss, and something in her heart was severely exposed.
"I... am such a despicable villain."
In that helpless moment, choosing to drop out or transfer wasn't something to be criticized for. After all, we were all just kids, and when things got tough, the first thing we did was protect ourselves. It was an instinctive self-preservation reaction. But compared to these younger students, Yumei felt like she had been wasting her time all these years.
"The children who started school after me were all holding on, but I was the one who ran away, and even hurt them..."
These thoughts quickly flooded into Yumei's heart, and the guilt surged, almost drowning her. After becoming a member of the Helmet Group, these thoughts that she had previously put aside once again swept through her.
Students are kind by nature.
Even if they become hooligans, it's simply because they have nowhere to go and no one to supervise them, so they act spontaneously. Outside of school, there are no teaching robots. No one is guiding students in the right direction, and no correct knowledge or values are passed on. All that's left for these children is to act according to their inner desires.
When they have no money, they take commissions. If they can't get any commissions, they rob. They are forced to get used to the social survival rules of the "adults", and naturally they are getting closer and closer to the "rules" of that side.
And at this moment, Yumei's long-lost heart of a "student" began to be awakened again.
"My terms... I won't waste my time. What you're looking for is now mine."
Dan Lidou started with a huge demand. Of course, he didn't know what these people were looking for, but he could see that these people from the Caesar Group must be looking for something, so using this to pinch the other party's weakness was the best way.
"Then, if you can spit out Kuromi Serika and Kotori Hoshino, the two you kidnapped earlier, I will let you leave here."
Dan Lidou showed the bird-shaped bow in his hand, and the mechanical soldiers who saw it all took a step back nervously. It was this toy-like thing that had destroyed countless of their helicopters and tanks just now.
"Otherwise..." The red compound eyes lit up with a breathtaking light, "I don't mind burying you all here and then searching for you slowly."
"I hope everyone won't waste their time. Because my time is very valuable."

39. I want them all!
"I hope neither of us will waste time. Because my time is very valuable."
The aunt is the son of a rich man
Danrito's words were quite overbearing and direct. Director Caesar was even overwhelmed by Danrito's aura and showed an unconscious retreat.
"Are you threatening? Threatening the directors of my Caesars Group?"
Director Caesar's words were no longer as confident as before. Repeating what someone had already done was a sign of a lack of confidence. Danrito was now threatening Director Caesar and the Caesar Group behind him. This man didn't even take the Caesar Group seriously.
"...This is Caesars Group's final warning to you. If you stop now, we can still pretend nothing happened."
Director Caesar felt incredibly frustrated by what he had just said. Having lost so many armored units, Caesar was definitely heartbroken. For this excavation of the ruins in the Abydos Desert, Director Caesar had mobilized approximately one-fifth of the Caesar Group's forces to the area.
Although Caesar Corporation was constantly expanding its military, establishing security companies like Caesar PMC as a cover to build its own forces, such a force was not infinite. Capable of mustering so many armored units, Caesar Corporation was already the most powerful company in Kivotos. While the Central Student Union would not stop Caesar Corporation's expansion, it would certainly not sit idly by and watch Caesar Corporation expand its forces without restraint.
Moreover, there was a crucial difference between Danrito's Kamen Rider system and the Caesar Corporation's armored forces. The cost of maintaining an armored force with heavy firepower was naturally astronomical. It took all of Caesar Corporation's banks, construction companies, and subsidiaries, large and small, combined to support the massive armored force under Caesar PMC.
Danrito only needs to maintain his daily eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. As a Collapser, he can even go without food and water. His combat effectiveness easily exceeds that of an entire fully-staffed armored battalion of the Caesar Group. He can fight and run, and can destroy one of Caesar's troops at any time in the most rogue way. This is not counting his electronic warfare capabilities as a Collapser. He is simply the most unreasonable opponent.
"Hmm? I don't know where you get the confidence to say that to me." Dan Lidou raised his chin, and suddenly raised the gashacon bird-shaped bow in his hand. A precise arrow shot out, flying past Director Caesar's head and easily piercing the head of a mechanical soldier guarding Director Caesar.
"I'm speaking to you in a friendly tone, negotiating terms. If you don't seize this opportunity, your army won't be able to take back a single nail, tire, or bullet."
Danrito's threat quickly worked. No one knew why these intelligent robots that could be resurrected later were afraid of death. Faced with the visible threat to his life, Director Caesar could only recall where he had taken the two students.
"Hoshino Kotori... is now in a laboratory in the middle of the desert. Humph... I hope you can still find her."

Director Caesar turned his head away, not wanting to see the person who had made him feel humiliated: "As for Kuromi Serika..."
