Danrito, become a consultant for the Millennium Game!

"From what we've observed of Alice, she behaves just like a normal millennial student in her daily life – just as enthusiastic, just as positive, and just as curious about everything."

Himari's voice came steadily. "The relevant physical data was provided by Utahara from the Engineering Department, who also had the second-most contact with Alice. Regarding Alice's identity as a homunculus, Utahara said the following—"

'She is a little girl who longs to be a hero.'

Himari's voice came through the speakers: "Rather than believing that she is the demon king who will destroy the world, I would rather put my hope in believing that she will not take that step."

I don't know how to do it, but I know it's a long time

"What makes you believe that? Even her internal structure is different from ours." Liyin clenched her fists. "I'm not even sure what she's thinking with—can a robot that thinks with electronic components also have emotions?"

112. They say crisis is opportunity.jpg

"Because of love and peace, love and peace?"

Himari stretched out her hand and unfolded the virtual keyboard, then began to operate her terminal. "Lion-chan, if you are the first to assume malicious intent towards others, the result will only be malicious intent."

Seeing Himari's actions on the screen, Liyin asked, "Are you eliminating the individual who entered the Millennium Network?"

"No, I'm creating a space to isolate the individuals. Those two data streams are garbled and cannot be directly deciphered. Mr. Danrito has also entered and is pursuing the separated individuals - that man is very difficult to deal with."

Recalling her two encounters with Danrito, Himari's delicate face revealed a look of discontent: "This man truly doesn't know how to be gentle with women, letting a genius, a sickly beautiful girl, suffer repeated setbacks."

"However, his power is evident to all. If my guess is correct, this unusual phenomenon is most likely related to Mr. Danrito." Himari's deduction continued, but her hands remained unceasing. With her and Amy's manipulations, they quickly captured the two data streams engaged in a battle and escape across the millennia-old cyberspace. Backup servers were activated one after another, creating a new cyberspace and immediately directing the two data streams to the battlefield they had prepared.

"You seem very familiar with this man."

Liyin's cold voice came from the other side of the screen: "I only know that he seems to be the new president of the Xialai Federal Investigation Agency."

"Besides that, it was the chairman of Huanmeng Group—the Central Student Union agent—who personally ordered the registration," Riju said slowly. "He was also the one who caused Caesar Group's acquisition of Abydos to fail, and even caused Caesar PMC to suffer significant losses."

"Thanks to him, my exploration operations in the Abydos Desert have been much smoother. The search for the 'Cross God' is also making significant progress. The next batch of intelligence will be delivered to you soon."

"He's done so many things?" Liyin was a little surprised. "Why hasn't the information about Danrito been delivered to me?"

"Mr. Danrito mostly travels quickly via the internet, so your informants are a bit outdated. I don't think we need to antagonize him on this point. We've always been on equal terms, and now that he has connections with the Central Student Council and is a formidable fighter himself, giving him a bad impression here wouldn't be worth the effort."

Thinking about how he was even in the mood to give her a jump kill through the camera, Himari felt a bit amused and said, "He's not a dangerous guy, but he does like to tease others."

In cyberspace, the battlefield that was opened up quickly took shape. The seemingly wide battlefield was actually a pocket formation where one could not return. After the intense guidance of Himari and Amy, the two data streams finally entered the positions they had prepared long ago, one after the other.

"Phew~ That's all."

Himari leaned back, her hands off the keyboard. Amy, standing beside her, looked at her manager and asked, "Is this enough? Can we just block the entire space without further algorithm encryption?"

"They won't be able to stay in such a tight spot for long. There's no need to do something that could easily lead to misunderstandings." Himari waved her hand. "This is the limit of our support. The rest is up to that man."

On screen, they appeared as two streams of data, but in cyberspace, their figures were clearly visible. Within the artificial battlefield, Key, holding a railgun, fired a single shot towards Danrito.

boom!

The shells hit the ground, splashing a cloud of code data dust, and the durability of the entire shaped space was slightly reduced.

"Still running? Key, surrender yourself and hand over the cassette."

Danrito tapped his feet lightly, dodging the opponent's attack, and at the same time released the special move he had been holding back for a long time - the alchemical bottle that had been prepared earlier contained a dangerous weakening potion. After inserting the cassette into his special move holder, Danrito pressed the button.

"The winning move!"

Alchemy Critical Strike!

The giant potion bottle, kicked away by Danrito, exploded violently above Key, showering her with the falling potion. Instantly, Key felt as if her body weighed down by a thousand pounds, her hands and feet as heavy as iron shackles!

"Goohoo! This is... the body is so heavy!"

Key continued to slow down his escape speed. Danrito's endless and bizarre moves had already raised the danger level of him in Key's mind to the highest level. After being hit by this controlled ultimate move, Key could already see Danrito leaping high and preparing to kick out a fatal blow.

"How could I fall here..."

Key held up the cartridge he had obtained by chance, the "Final Goddess Legend Sword 2" cartridge. It was originally a game cartridge that Yuzu and the others had put all their efforts into making in preparation for participating in the Millennium Grand Prix, but now it has become the core of Key, the new source of collapse.

As if he had sensed something, Key pressed the button on the cassette. A burst of orange lightning came from the cassette, and the cassette occupied by the Collapse Virus was forced to start.

“Infection!”

A deep electronic voice emanated from the cartridge. An invincible transformation defense withstood Danrito's falling knight's kick. Then, before Danrito's eyes, the energy within the cartridge enveloped Key's body as he struggled to his feet. The sound of the game cartridge being activated in a shattered form echoed:

"Let's game! Bad game! Dead game! What's name?! The Bugster!"

Key's body transformed into a monstrous form, clad in sharp knight armor, with locks on her hands and feet, and a strange-looking longsword in hand, she stood there. She was stunned for a moment, as if trying to understand how she had turned into a monster.

"...I can actually transform without using the gashacon defect shield."

Dan Lidou stood up. He felt that the Key in front of him must have some secrets that he didn't know yet.

"Is it because of the cassette's peculiarity, or is it because of the host's peculiarity?"

"I...what on earth am I doing?"

Unlike Danrito, Key was contemplating the transformation his body had just undergone. In a split second, his body had transformed from that of a princess into that of a monstrous knight. And the only trigger was the cartridge in his hand?

The only thing that Key could understand was that his appearance seemed to be some kind of enhanced outer suit, rather than that he had really become like this. This made Key feel more or less relieved.

113. Lightning Superman Danrito (not)

Fighting in a fictional cyber world was a novel experience for Key. Unfortunately, there was neither Electro nor Dynamax, so the battle wasn't as earth-shattering as it could be. However, the battle between the two Disintegrators was enough to shatter this isolated cyberspace.

"You used the cassette to activate your own state as a Collapse-Type monster simply by relying on your own abilities?! I'm becoming more and more interested in you!"

Danrito swung the Gashacon holy sword at the monster-like Key in front of him, while the Spike Knight, wielding the alien longsword, also blocked with his own sword: "How long are you going to hinder me?"

"Then give me back my cassette!"

In her monster form, Key wielded a strange longsword, light yet powerful, seemingly capable of tearing through space with ease. In fact, all the attacks of the Collapse-Type monsters shared this characteristic; to the network, the Collapse-Type virus was a formidable, autonomous destroyer. With a swift swing of her sword, Key repelled several of Danrito's attacks, then set her sights on the field.

The entire isolated cyberspace seemed to have nowhere to escape, and the only exit was blocked by Danrito. If he fled in that direction, he would be immediately entangled by Danrito. So, change his mindset: if there is no exit, create one yourself!

"My cognition is interfering with me." Key understood: "For the seemingly concrete cyberspace of the Collapse Source, it is actually a digital world composed of a bunch of data..."

He swung his sword towards the ground, and the seemingly indestructible ground actually began to crack after the attack. Beyond the small cracks that appeared, a whole new cyberspace appeared.

"Where are you looking? Look here!"

Free skirt 95

Danrito closed in on Key, and after acquiring his monster form, Key's confidence in counterattacking Danrito gradually grew. Although everything that was happening now was beyond her comprehension, whether it was the battle after entering the network, the monster transformation caused by the cartridge, or the body of the Hollow Origin, all of this was completely unheard of in her previous understanding.

"Hmm!" Key's expression became a little serious: "How come you are so strong?"

The sound of clashing swords rang out, and Kamen Rider Genm rushed into the attack range of the Collapse Monster with a very aggressive attitude, using a seemingly random "hammering" method, as if using the sword as a hammer, trying to use his own strength to forcibly suppress the opponent!

"Hahaha! Did you see that? This is the power of Kamen Rider!" Danrito laughed loudly. For a moment, he almost couldn't tell who was the villain. Key could only barely hold on under his crazy attack. Finally, he seized the opportunity to block the opponent's continuous offensive, and he jumped to distance himself from Danrito.

Key gasped: "It's really like a mad dog attacking..."

When the nameless priest created the key, she had already remained in AL-S1's body in the form of a piece of code. Her duty has always been to assist her "Princess" and destroy their enemies according to the will of the nameless priest.

She was merely a military strategist, and fighting wasn't her forte. Rather, the real fighting on her side was left to the robot soldiers under her command—their legacy from the nameless gods.

And Key, and even Alice's identity, to put it bluntly, is the person who has the authority to control these world-destroying weapons. How could they take action personally?

The game field opened by Danrito covers the entire program space. The EA-series Kamen Riders naturally have a battle field suitable for them - although this field cannot give Danrito an additional 1000 attacks.

"Gigantic!"

He raised his hand to shatter a floating brick, and an energy item flew out from it. Key's body immediately began to expand, and in the blink of an eye he became a tall giant. He swung the long sword in his hand, which had also become extremely thick, and smashed it down like a stick!

"Giant?... Then I'll try my luck here too."

Danrito pushed the ground hard with his feet, dodged the attack of the giant key with just the right sprint distance, and smashed the chocolate brick next to him with one kick. The energy props that popped out of it were absorbed by Danrito.

"Clone!"

When Danrito received this energy item, his body flickered and shook vaguely. Less than a moment later, three identical genm stood beside Danrito.

"Why are there only three? Is even the number of clones random?" Dan Lidou looked at the clones flying beside him, and these clones also looked at him.

"Why are you looking at me?" x3

"Even my tone of voice was copied—it's a bit jarring that it's so realistic."

Danrito exerted force on his feet and suddenly jumped up, stepping on the bricks that appeared in the air to avoid the attack of the giant key, and his three clones also showed their magical powers, using various methods to open up the key's attack.

"Hey—let's attack together!"

"No need to say more!" x3

"Decisive and decisive victory technique!"

Four "Full Action X" cards were inserted into the special attack holder, and the energy pressure was activated in all directions, leaving Key with nowhere to hide. In an emergency, she slapped the bricks around her, searching for a power-up that could help her overcome the current difficulty. Among them, she happened to hit an energy-up.

"Ironization!"

Key felt her body rapidly harden, energy that could significantly strengthen her defenses rapidly filling her body. Then, she used the original killer move that every Collapse-Type monster would use.

"Destruction Blade!"

Rose-red flames rose from the alien knight's sword, and the power of his special move gathered on the giant blade. Key swung the weapon, delivering a heavy blow with a spinning slash. At the same time, the flying kicks of the four Kamen Riders arrived, flying towards Key's body from four directions!

'Mighty Critical Strike!'

When hit by the flying kick, Key only felt a pain that almost tore her apart coming from the place where she was kicked. She subconsciously activated the special move, 'Giant' plus the temporary 'Iron' state, but it seemed that for Danrito in front of her, it was a state that could be broken through with just a little effort.

The bonus from the Level X cartridge, plus the fact that Kamen Rider Genm had "cloned" into four, meant the combined power of the four Rider Kicks wasn't just one plus one equals two; when combined, the power would become even greater. Even the steel shell cracked under the weight.

"Drink——!"

"A fatal blow!!"

Danrito's flying kick penetrated Key's gigantic body, and a violent energy explosion resounded from the giant monster's body. Accompanied by three huge "hit" and a "prefect", the huge figure of the knight monster quickly shrank, and Key fell heavily to the ground in her girlish form.

114. Nero: I’m so angry!

"it hurts……"

Key felt like his whole body was falling apart.

Despite suffering such a horrific attack, Key felt she was doomed, even accepting her own fate. As she was engulfed by the explosion, she felt the emotion of death.

To be honest, Key had imagined many times what would happen if he failed in his duty. Killed by the weapons of the rebels, or killed by powerful hackers, or killed by the sudden attack of the rebels when the world was destroyed.

But what she had never expected was that she was first separated from the body of Princess AL-S1 by unknown means, and then turned into an independent source of collapse individual. Finally, when she wanted to call her soldiers, she was trapped in a cyberspace where no one could see her and was beaten. The only person she could see in front of her was this ridiculous-looking "Kamen Rider".

Ah... I feel like something in my heart is about to flow away.

If Danrito could hear Key's inner thoughts, he would probably laugh mockingly and tell Key that the thing that flowed away and that she couldn't describe was called "bigness".

"You win... Kill me."

Key, lying on the ground, unable to move, made a faint sound. After being defeated, her monstrous transformation had dissipated on its own. It had been a form that had appeared for unknown reasons, like a bug, and it had vanished in a flash.

"It's beautiful to think about it."

Danrito walked over to her, undoing his transformation, revealing his annoying face again. He reached out and picked up the "Final Goddess Legendary Sword 2" next to her. "You've caused me so much trouble for no reason, and you still want to die? From now on, you'll become a Collapse Source and work hard!"

"But... I never expected that, without realizing it, the number of Destruction Sources has increased unnoticed."

Danrito pressed the cassette tape, sucking Key into the tape. Key, now powerless, was powerless to resist and allowed his movements to be sucked in. "Including me, this world should already have four complete Collapse-Origin bodies, right? It's a massive population explosion, a 400% increase in just one go!"

"However, the changes to this cartridge are pretty much what I expected." Danrito held up the cartridge in his hand, examining its exterior. "Sword of the Final Goddess Legend 2 already had the potential to become a popular cartridge for knights, but this snatching of it up was unexpected..."

No matter how many copies of the game cartridge were produced, only one Knight game cartridge with the same name could exist. This was the ironclad rule of Knight cartridge development. Since the Saiden 2 cartridge had already been acquired by Key as a core, it was obvious that Key was the only one who could own it.

Elsewhere, in the Paranormal Investigation Department, Himari and Amy stared nervously at the single remaining blip on their screen. They lacked the direct cyberspace observation capabilities of the Collapse Virus. With only one data stream remaining, the outcome was clearly decided. But who was the victor?

From the moment on, Hikari had been constantly reinforcing the battlefield, shattered by the battles with the Collapse Body, constantly creating new, empty cyberspaces to envelop the ones being destroyed. The areas infected by the Collapse Body virus were impossible to analyze, so they couldn't patch up the holes like a patch, only a larger pocket could be created. With the battle finally over, Hikari's fingers finally stopped.

"Bushi, you say you believe Mr. Danrito will win, but why are you clenching your fist so tightly?"

Amy watched as Hikari gripped the wheelchair handle tightly, and Hikari belatedly loosened her grip. "A tight grip means I'm eating well and have strength!"

"Ah, yes, yes, where's the genius, sickly, beautiful girl character you promised me?"

"Hands, hands are quite strong, but this sickly genius girl has a lot of power!"

The data stream on the surveillance screen moved rapidly, then emerged from the nearest network port. After Himari nervously switched cameras, Danrito's figure confronted the four maids.

"Huh~ Mr. Danrito won."
