"Hmph, I was worried you might forget me," Neon complained discontentedly. Her relationship with Raven had finally reached this stage. She didn't want all her efforts to be undone, forcing them to start over.
"Don't worry. No one can affect my memory," Raven said, flicking Neon's nose.
He then looked toward Girori, who was still in a state of utter shock.
"Well, well, if it isn't the sore-loser Game Master. Seeing me here, you look quite surprised?" Raven walked forward.
"Impossible…"
"How did you get into this place!"
"You were clearly eliminated! You shouldn't have access permissions!" Girori stared at Raven, his face pale with fury.
"Guess why," Raven replied mockingly.
"We don't need the guessing game." Girori took a deep breath and continued, "You are no longer a contestant, so I don't need to hold back. I will personally interrogate you now."
He once again pulled out his Vision Driver. After swiping the card, accompanied by the sore-loser's jingle, he transformed into Kamen Rider Glare.
"You want to fight right here? Fine by me," Raven said, walking forward fearlessly.
"You don't have a Driver. How do you intend to fight back against me?" Girori laughed scornfully. Having lost his composure, he was gradually starting to act like a small-time villain.
"Raven-san, use my Driver!" Neon immediately handed her Desire Driver to Raven.
"Neon, what are you doing? Don't you want to achieve your wish?" Girori exclaimed.
"It was you who violated the rules first!" Neon held Raven's arm, refusing to back down. "Besides, my wish has already come true!"
Over this time, she had received the love she desired from Raven. She was no longer interested in the Desire Grand Prix. Her only purpose for participating was to keep her memories and be with Raven.
Seeing Neon so openly express her true feelings warmed Raven's heart. He knew he couldn't let her down.
"Don't worry. I won't be using your Driver," Raven said with a faint smile, motioning for Neon to step back.
Girori looked at Raven, confused. To be honest, he was wary of the Kachidoki Buckle form Raven had used in the Jyamato Manor. Even with his confidence, he estimated it would take some effort to defeat him.
Raven simply snapped his fingers.
Snap!
The scene before everyone's eyes instantly changed. They were directly transported to a vast, open ground.
"Eh?"
"What happened?!" Keiwa cried out in astonishment, looking around.
Girori wore a look of disbelief. He had been brought to this location without being able to resist at all.
"How did you do that?" Everyone present looked toward Raven.
"From today, this world doesn't need the Desire Grand Prix anymore," Raven declared, a smile playing on his lips.
At this announcement, Keiwa and Michinaga's eyes widened. Tsumuri and Neon were also shocked by Raven's audacity.
"What kind of joke is this!"
"Do you know what you're saying?"
"You, a mere man from antiquity, dare to boast so wildly!" Girori roared, charging forward and trying to knock Raven down with a punch.
The punch landed, but the figure he hit dissolved into an afterimage and vanished.
The next moment, Raven appeared behind Girori and kicked him.
"Incredible speed!" Michinaga stared at Raven, unable to believe it. He hadn't transformed, yet his speed was too fast for the naked eye to track. Who exactly is Raven? He's clearly more than just a contestant!
"You bastard!" Girori swiped a card, summoning several purple spheres of light that launched an attack at Raven.
Raven merely waved his hand, and the light spheres vanished.
"What?!" Girori was thoroughly flustered. Who exactly was he facing?
"Girori, I think I'll fight you in this form instead. Otherwise, it would be too boring," Raven said playfully.
"Henshin."
Instantly, countless Helheim vines consumed Raven, finally transforming him into the Kiwami Form!
The God has put on his limiter again!
This time, Raven decided not to use his divine power. He only wanted a genuine, brutal crushing of Girori.
"It's you!" Girori finally understood. Raven was the one who had called himself God. "Are you openly declaring war on the Desire Grand Prix Management?" Girori pulled out the Boost Buckle, preparing to stake everything against Raven.
"This is my world. The days when you people could do as you please are over." Raven stood his ground in his new Form, dazzling everyone.
"What cool armor!" Neon gazed at Raven in amazement.
Keiwa and Michinaga were completely dumbfounded. He can transform without a Driver? That's not something a human can do...
Girori, upon using the Boost Buckle, had his base power increased by 13 times. With this power boost, he gained a significant amount of confidence. He immediately turned into an afterimage and continued his attack toward Raven!
Bang!
However, the raw strength of the Kiwami Form as an ultimate state was absolute. Even without using extraneous power, Raven easily dealt with the current Kamen Rider Glare.
In just a few moves, the victor was clear. Raven charged up a kick and sent Girori flying into the air.
Bang!
Girori was physically broken apart mid-air, and his belt fell to the ground.
Raven knew that the Vision Driver held special authority to access the Goddess's space. He stepped forward and picked it up.
Everyone was stunned, especially Keiwa and Michinaga. After all, not long ago, Girori had crushed Geats, who was using the latest Command Buckle, without question. Yet, he was no match for Raven and was eliminated so easily.
"So, that's his true power…" Michinaga muttered. The thought of having previously intended to defeat Raven now struck him as comical.
Seeing this, Tsumuri couldn't bear to look away. No matter what, she was still part of the Desire Grand Prix Management, but she was also deeply aware of Raven's power.
Neon, too, had mixed feelings. It wasn't that she pitied Girori's fate, but she felt that Raven had suddenly become distant, as if they were no longer from the same world. She worried that she wouldn't be worthy of him.
"Impossible…" Girori lay on the ground, covered in injuries, trying to reach for the Vision Driver not far away.
Raven walked over.
"No… Stop…" Girori was utterly terrified, watching as Raven picked up the Vision Driver. This is an extremely important item. The consequences of losing it will be severe!
"If I want to take over your Desire Grand Prix, this item is essential," Raven said, cancelling his transformation and smiling faintly. He also knew that the device was fingerprint-locked, requiring the Game Master's print to use. However, he could easily bypass such permissions. He put the belt into his System Space.
Meanwhile, the Niramu appeared in the Game Lobby. He had come here with evidence to fire Girori, but couldn't find him.
"Where did everyone go?" For some reason, an ominous feeling arose in his heart.
The next second, Girori appeared out of thin air, collapsing onto him.
"Girori?" Niramu looked in disbelief at the severely injured Girori.
"What happened?" he quickly asked. The Game Master should theoretically be invincible in this world. How could anyone have beaten him up like this? He completely forgot that he had come to fire him.
"The Vision Driver… was… was…" Girori collapsed before finishing his sentence.
Then, Raven's figure appeared in the Game Lobby.
"Who is he?" Neon and the others didn't recognize Niramu, unaware that there was a Game Producer above the Game Master.
"Niramu-sama." Tsumuri immediately greeted him.
"Looks like he's also part of the Management," Michinaga commented.
Niramu realized the situation was amiss. He handed the unconscious Giroshi to his secretary and, adjusting the lapels of his suit, slowly walked toward Raven and the others.
"What exactly is going on here?"
"Tsumuri, can you explain this to me?" He stopped in front of Raven and the group, looking at Tsumuri, who was standing beside Raven.
"You must be the Game Producer," Raven stated directly. To truly take over the Desire Grand Prix, he needed the other Vision Driver in Niramu's possession.
