Just as Geats (Ace Ukiyo) races toward the Jyamato Fortress to destroy it from within, SAM (Firefly) intercepts him mid-charge. She won't let her prey be stolen by a fox.
Geats revs his bike to max speed, aiming to crash through SAM and into the fortress. But SAM calmly extends her arm and halts the bike with overwhelming force, warping its frame.
Geats abandons the bike mid-air and activates his transformation:
[Strike Trigger]
[Boost Throttle]
[Magnum Boost Grand Victory]
But SAM is faster. Her Blazing Propulsion wraps Geats in flames, cracking his armor and sending him flying like a cannonball into the ruins below.
She doesn't finish him off—yet. Her goal isn't vengeance, but dismantling the DGP system itself.
She knows the game's administrators and producers won't let her succeed easily. They wield powers like data deletion, Jyamato energy, and Creation Force, often gifted by top-tier viewers.
Right now, the DGP is just a bronze-tier match—and Geats, with his long winning streak, is like a gold-ranked veteran farming newbies.
"He's a 2000-year-old guy wrecking low-level lobbies."
Her priority is to destroy the fortress and claim the massive point reward to boost her strength.
Unlike Geats, she doesn't need to infiltrate the fortress. She can destroy it head-on.
SAM launches herself onto the fortress, dodging tentacles and low-level Jyamato. With one flaming kick:
[BBHF – Scorched Earth Operation]
The fortress cracks open, flames flooding its interior. Jyamato inside panic and flee—but it's futile. The entire structure is consumed.
The final boss is dead. The game ends.
But this time, Geats doesn't win. His streak is broken by a mysterious outsider.
Viewers are outraged—especially Geats fans. They flood the DGP with complaints:
"Refund us! RNM!"
Others are thrilled. Many had grown tired of Geats' dominance and welcome the shake-up.
In the digital realm, screens replay the battle between SAM, Geats, Buffa, and the fortress.
DGP administrator Girori, masked and stoic, watches closely.
"An unknown Rider…"
He's conflicted. SAM wasn't part of the DGP. Her appearance is a wild variable.
Yet he didn't stop her—especially when she attacked Geats. The disruption might actually boost entertainment value.
"She's not ours… but she's useful."
For Girori, ratings matter most. The DGP exists to entertain future humans who've abandoned their bodies and live as data. They feed on amusement.
Geats' repeated victories had dulled the thrill. Everyone expected him to win again.
Girori had long wanted Geats to lose—but couldn't interfere directly. Now, SAM has done it for him.
Still, her presence needs an explanation.
Chapter 12: Blessing of Abundance
DGP guide Tsumuri, a clone of the Creation Goddess Mitsume, rushes to Girori.
"Girori, viewers are protesting. They say the DGP is rigged. Who is that Rider?!"
She suspects Girori might've planted SAM to break Geats' streak.
"It's not a setup," Girori insists. "I don't know where she came from. She's not a DGP contestant."
"If she shows up again, I'll handle it."
Tsumuri hesitates, then shares good news:
"Ratings are way up. Higher than ever."
Despite some backlash, SAM's surprise appearance has drawn massive attention. Many viewers want her to stay.
Girori smiles:
"So I was right…"
But there's a catch—no Desire God was born this round.
Epilogue: A Quiet Sunset
As the sun sets over a serene park, Firefly sits by the lake, puzzled.
"Strange…"
She thought her actions had prevented the birth of a Desire God. Yet the world was still rebuilt.
Was it automatic? Does the world collapse and reset after every final boss defeat, regardless of outcome?
Or did the DGP resume after she left, with Geats and Buffa restarting the game?
"Unlikely… there's no sign of the Jyamato Domain."
She's left wondering—what rules truly govern this world?
