Danrito, become a consultant for the Millennium Game!

On the cassette screen, a lone warrior holds a sharp blade and is invincible.

Danrito thrust the cassette tape into the hands of Tianqin in front of him. "This is the 'Anti-AI Special Attack Cassette' that you and I developed together—LEVEL Wushuang!"

357. Xiaotao, famous all over the world!

"Anti-AI special attack cartridge?"

Tianqin looked at the "Phantom Warriors" in her hand. This cartridge seemed to hold a rather strange aura, combining Kronos's PAUSE, its invincible attack power, and its upgraded supercomputing capabilities. Learning from Ark's data gave "Phantom Warriors" an unparalleled crushing power against "omnic" opponents.

"Malice energy itself is useless, with few advantages, and it even affects the user's mind," Danrito criticized. "This kind of power, harnessing human malice, will only have one end—becoming everyone's enemy, and then being kicked to pieces, becoming nothing more than a cushion for someone else to reach the top."

"It feels... like it's something you're talking about from personal experience..." Tianqin felt herself sweating a little.

"It's just the truth I've learned from being a Villain Knight for so long." Danrito shook his head. "So, I didn't use any additional malicious energy as a means of attack. Instead, I chose Ark's calculation method—through countless calculations of possibilities, I was able to come up with a plan that was almost prophetic."

"Furthermore, due to the unique origins of the 'Dream Warriors' cartridge, its attacks possess a considerable corrosive power over the minds of mechanical creations. They contain no malicious intent, but are simply able to penetrate defenses, causing a significant impact both internally and externally on the omnics."

"Um... Dad, I heard you made an 'Ultimate Invincible' cartridge before." After Tianqin learned about the golden Ex-Aid from her own memories, she couldn't help but feel itchy and wanted to play the Invincible Knight. "Can't you fully integrate the functions of the Invincible cartridge into this 'Dream Warriors' cartridge?"

"About that..."

Danrito rubbed his head. "Actually, there was a mistake in restoring the 'Ultimate Invincibility' cartridge... No matter how I fixed it, it couldn't achieve 100% defense, so I never took it out."

"Can't completely defend against it?" Tianqin blinked, puzzled. "What kind of attack is it that even a cartridge like 'Ultimate Invincible' can't completely defend against it?"

"That is...attacks containing the 'mysterious' attribute will always be able to break through the invincible defensive stance created by the invincibility cartridge."

Danrito sighed. "No, rather than being 'defeated,' it's more accurate to say that we were unable to completely 'neutralize the enemy's attack.'"

The invincibility of the "Ultimate Invincibility" cartridge comes from two aspects of the invincible player's armor. The "Super Driving Sword-shaped Antenna" installed on the head can interfere with the enemy's combat system, causing all special functions that affect its attack power or defense power to stop.

And the 'EX Invincible Armor' covering the whole body, the principle is to maintain the 'invincibility frame' when the special move is activated, because the enemy's attacks will be completely invalidated, so no damage will be taken.

"The principle behind the invincibility of the invincible player is that they completely avoid damage and negate all special effects targeting them..." Danrito explained. "The reason the invincibility player isn't working right now is because of this world's 'mysterious attacks'. Invincibility armor can only completely block 'bullets', but it can't negate the 'mysteries attached to the bullets'."

"Then why not input this data into the invincible player's armor as well?" Tianqin offered a constructive suggestion: "Otherwise, Dad, how will your God Extreme Armor defend against attacks from others?"

"How can it be so simple? Kid, do you know how much of a headache I had when developing 'Ultra Invincible'?!"

Danrito's eyes widened in anger, as if he was recalling the painful years of the past. Every life consumed in developing "Ultimate Invincibility" under the threat of Kronos was Danrito's lost youth!

"Besides, my 'God's Limit X' relies on my immense strength—you know what I mean by immense strength? My defense and health are stacked high enough, so I can take any damage!"

Even Danrito's God Extreme Armor couldn't completely protect against the 'mysteries' unique to this world. However, Danrito could employ opportunistic tactics to circumvent damage, infinitely stacking the God Extreme Armor's defense and health points to reduce the damage to a tolerable level. Then, using the armor's regeneration ability, he could instantly replenish lost Knight Gauges, effectively achieving 'invulnerable defense.'

However, this method can only be achieved with Danrito's God Extreme Armor. The Knight Slot of "Ultimate Invincibility" is only level 99, which is just a permanent "invincibility buff". There is no possibility of losing health at all, so there is no need to worry about the amount of health.

——I’m using Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow, so is health important?

Tianqin looked at the God Limit cassette in his hand and said, "Then, is it not possible to connect Invincible to your God Limit?"

"Until we can solve this problem, 'Ultimate Invincibility' won't be that useful, and it would be useless to use it."

Danrito couldn't understand why the attacks of these students could actually cause damage to his armor. Could it be that all the students of Kivotos were gods like him?

Unable to figure it out, Danrito simply stopped thinking about it. It all came down to one problem: "Ultimate Invincibility" could no longer keep up with the current version, and needed to be upgraded to maintain its "invincibility". However, this update involved many issues.

"Perhaps, the enemy from outer space can give me some ideas?"

Danrito cast his gaze skyward. The 'colors', temporarily held back tens of millions of light-years by his power, continued their steady march toward Kivotos. Originally, Danrito believed such troublesome creatures should be dealt with outside the universe if possible, preferably before they even touched the ground. Unfortunately, the colors themselves were imbued with 'concepts,' and without a physical form, making them too cumbersome for even Danrito to touch.

Therefore, after noticing the approach of the colors, Danrito chose to move the battlefield to Kivotos - this was not Danrito's attempt to divert trouble. After Beatrice sent out a signal to call the hunters in the dark forest before her death, the arrival of the colors was no longer something Kivotos could control.

"This time, Color extracted from the distorted history of Kamen Rider and created the existence of 'Ark'. It has proven that its power can transcend time and space. It may be a more difficult existence than any previous enemy."

Dan Lidou's tone was so deep that even Tian Qin, who was standing beside him, was affected by it. She involuntarily clenched the "Phantom Dream" in her hand and asked in a low voice, "Then, there should be a way to fight against color, right?"

"Of course there are."

Danrito nodded and said, "Whether it's Ark, created by color and possessed by someone else, or something else entirely, concepts like color, aside from attacking people mentally, require some kind of physical container to function in the material universe."

"I have a feeling..." Danrito waved his hand and pulled up the work file for "Ultra Invincibility" stored on his workbench. "When the new "Ultra Invincibility" game cartridge is completed, it will be the time when 'color' officially invades Kivotos."

Tianqin looked at him: "Just like the hero must appear at the right time?"

"exactly!"

Danrito laughed three times, "Hahahahahaha!" "After a thousand years, there are still many places where soldiers left by Yaku are still there. You can use the Wushuang cassette to clean up those guys."

"What about you?"

"Of course, I'm going to prepare for the Trinity Chronicles event." Tan Lidou said matter-of-factly. "Do I really need to clean up the mess left here?"

Danrito didn't feel bad at all about giving the Wushuang cartridge to his daughter. He could just take it back when he needed it. Sharing data between two Collapse Sources—could anything be simpler than that?

Danrito contentedly handed the remaining dirty work and finishing touches to others. It was much as he'd imagined. After the numerous soldiers created by Ark had been completely annihilated, the damage caused by the malicious soldiers and Ark, both online and offline, had piled up a significant amount of work that needed to be dealt with.

Among them, there were also those Millennium Students who usually held their breath. This time, like... uh, mad scientists released from their cages, they took out all the black technology that was usually bound by various rules and regulations. Although in the end, they did delay the school and even killed many malicious soldiers, the damage caused to the school by these "three-no" products felt almost the same as that of the soldiers under Ark...

"So, I'll have to ask for your help this time, Xiao Tao."

President Liyin bowed solemnly to Xiao Tao in front of her. The seminar members behind her, Noah, Yuka and others also bowed to Xiao Tao in a formal manner. "I'll leave it to you, Xiao Tao."

"Wow wow wow... How come even Yuuka-san is asking me for a favor so formally? I'm the worst at dealing with this kind of situation..."

Momo frantically waved her hands, inviting the student council president and seminar members to stand up. It wasn't that Liyin and the others were making a fuss; if Momo, who possessed the "King of Cats" cassette, were willing to lend a hand, the entire academy's renovation funds could be reduced by nearly 80%. Such a result could be achieved with just a sincere bow of gratitude and a portion of the funds deducted from already-expended expenses...

As a smart member of the Millennium Seminar, who wouldn't be able to do the math?

"Momo's a millennial celebrity now." Yuzu, having returned to school from the neighborhood, had already untransformed and was now sitting with the other members of the game development department. Seeing Momo dealing with the situation on her own, she couldn't help but laugh. "Even President Liyin had to bend down and ask Momo to do something... Who could have imagined that our game development department would be able to achieve what it has now?"

"Youyou! Xiaolu! Are you just watching from the side? Are you really betraying me?!"

Xiao Tao finally finished the seminar, and as soon as she returned to her friends, the embarrassment on her face was almost overflowing. "After being bowed to by the student council president in front of so many people, I'm sure people will point fingers at me when I go out in the future! Why don't you two come over and help me talk it out!"

"Sister, this is a good thing, isn't it?" Xiaolu looked at her sister with a smile. "Now everyone in the school must know you. After this wave of renovation work is completed, you can pat your chest and say that I contributed to the construction of Millennium Academy~"

"You're making fun of me again... It's so bitter..."

"Who said I was making fun of you?" Xiaolu suddenly said seriously, "Sister, do you know how powerful you are now?"

"Eh? Really?" Xiao Tao scratched her head: "Am I really that great?"

"Have you ever counted how many places in Kivotos have left your traces?" Xiaolu reminded her sister to think carefully.

"I don't know..." Xiao Tao's eyes were filled with confusion: "Do you remember how many slices of bread you have eaten?"

Xiaolu rubbed her sister's head with a caring look, saying, "Not only our Millennium Self, but also Abydos, Gehenna, Holy Trinity, and other residents have commissioned... my sister is now a famous figure in Kivotos."

"She's even been honored as the 'Saint of Civil Engineering' and the 'Innate Holy Body of Ash-Breaking'..." Yuzu, standing nearby, jokingly remarked, "From the Millennium Symposium to the Abydos Resort, Xiaotao's name is known to everyone..."

"Uh uh uh... So I've already done so many things?"

Xiao Tao thought about it and finally laughed: "Well, there are so many people helping me that I forgot! But leave this thousand-year renovation work to me and the cats!"

Not far from the game development team, Yuuka looked at the scene with a look of satisfaction and said with emotion: "Momo, this kid has improved so much compared to before..."

"Why do I feel like you're like an old woman, Youxiang?" Xiaoxue beside her asked in confusion: "You speak so old-fashionedly, are you getting old? Ugh—"

After being hit in the stomach by Yuxiang, Xiaoxue can’t get up again!

Paranormal Investigation Department.

"Is this the tool you recovered, Minister? Is it dangerous to analyze it like this?"

"No, no, I've spent ten minutes trying to fully understand this key. There's definitely no problem."

Amy looked with lingering fear at the mysterious key stuck in the hastily constructed compatible pedestal before her, its wiring exposed. "I feel like this thing...is it a bit like the thing on that guy named 'Ak's' belt?"

"It should be the same type of thing, but it's definitely different. Look, the shape is wrong."

Himari's eyes revealed excitement: "Look! I told you! The one analyzed here is clearly 'Satellite Zea', not some Yak!"

358. Kamen Rider will not disappear in history

In the Millennium Paranormal Investigation Department, Himari excitedly shared her findings with Amy beside her: "What we've decoded from this key is an ancient civilization's artificial intelligence project, and it's a very high-level project file!"

"Satellite Zea?"

Amy moved closer to the screen in front of her and saw the project name of "Artificial Intelligence Supercomputing Satellite - Zea" among the large number of parsed files.

"It seems to be a special project directly related to the three projects of Shumagia, Program Sublimation Key, and Kamen Rider."

Hikari happily surveyed his unexpected find. He hadn't expected that this ancient artifact, salvaged from the ruins, could reveal such a secret.

"Kamen Rider?"

Amy seemed to have heard something extraordinary, and Keyword came over and said, "Bullmaster, are you talking about a Kamen Rider who can transform like Kotoko and Mr. Danrito?"

"Judging from the data, they should be similar. After all, they are both called 'Kamen Rider'."

Tianqin's expression regained its composure as he spoke of this. "Judging from the items called Program Ascension Keys and the game cartridges that Mr. Danrito uses every time he transforms, these two items are completely different. It can be inferred that these keys and Mr. Danrito's Kamen Rider system are completely different things."

"So?" Amy asked doubtfully, "Does this have anything to do with what you've analyzed, Minister?"

“They are clearly two completely different props, yet they both describe the same thing.”

Himari cast her gaze towards the screen. "Kamen Rider, a gadget from tens of thousands of years ago, actually even has the name Kamen Rider. It's the same name and pronunciation as the Kamen Rider that Danrito-san always calls himself. Do you know what this means?"

Amy lowered her head, her chest heaving as she breathed in thought, causing Himari to narrow her eyes.

"Bushi, what you mean is..." Amy said carefully, "Kamen Rider, in different histories, in different time and space, there are different individuals?"

"Though we've only discovered two types of Kamen Riders so far: those that transform using game cartridges and those that transform using keys, we can already infer from the information we have..."

Himari's fingers tapped lightly on the table. "Kamen Rider is not an individual that appears by chance, but an existence that is bound to be born under certain circumstances."

Amy looked at her minister curiously: "So what exactly is this situation?"

"Probably... some kind of crisis."

Himari's fingers tapped the keyboard quickly, searching the parsed data on the desktop again, extracting several keywords from it, and then locating more accurate data based on these keywords.

"According to the information analyzed from this key, it was created in times of crisis in response to a rebellious artificial intelligence named 'Ark'."

The screen in front of Himari listed keywords such as 'Kamen Rider 01', 'Satellite Zea', 'Xumajia', etc. This program sublimation key may have been connected to Satellite Zea due to its own special nature when it was produced, so there is a lot of information inside for Himari to analyze.

While analyzing the data from the eye, Himari explained to Amy beside her, "According to the various evidence provided in this data, during the development of this ancient civilization, the artificial intelligence they created was infected by a malicious virus and rebelled... It's a classic sci-fi setting where a rebellious artificial intelligence destroys the world. It's not romantic at all."

"Minister, please get to the point."

"Good good..."

Himari coughed lightly and turned her attention back to the topic. "If no one intervenes, the artificial intelligence known as Humagia will ultimately destroy the world. I simply don't want to comment on how an ancient civilization's artificial intelligence, under human supervision, could allow erroneous data to develop to such an extent."

"In short, in order to save their civilization in such a crisis, the existence called "Masked Rider" naturally appeared."

Amy was stunned. "This... there's no foreshadowing, it just appears out of nowhere?"

Himari shook her head. "Perhaps, but the information on this key is really limited, and I can't analyze anything more."

As Himari and Amy stared at each other in silence, Himari suddenly recalled the conversation she had with Tianqin. From the mouth of Tianqin, the Collapse-Origin life that she had taken care of and gave birth to, Himari learned for the first time about the "Colllapse-Origin Virus" and what had happened to Danrito.

"Just like Ark's view of this ancient civilization, Mr. Danrito, who came from another world, and his mysterious Hougen virus, might once have been capable of destroying the world—just like Zero Day."

Hikari held her cheeks, recalling the details of her conversation with Tianqin: "If someone infected with the Collapse virus is left untreated, they will eventually be taken over by the fully mature Collapse virus. The original person will disappear, replaced by the fully mature Collapse virus... Thinking about it this way, such a casual statement actually said something very terrifying."

Amy pondered the scenario for a moment, feeling a chill run down her spine. "A virus that can completely replace the infected person... what kind of setting would even a third-rate science fiction writer wouldn't dare adopt?"

At this point, Amy's eyes suddenly widened. "So, even Lyra, who is also a Collapser, can do that kind of thing?"

"Amy, you just realized it?"

Himari's face was calm, as if the matter they were discussing had nothing to do with them. "It's not just Kotoko, isn't Mr. Danrito himself a Collapse virus? Based on our observations of Kotoko's unique constitution over the past few days, it's impossible to develop a treatment for the Collapse virus before the disease breaks out, at least with the current level of medical technology in Kivotos."

Amy was stunned for a moment, then remembered something even stranger: "Doesn't the Collapse virus need to completely occupy the host's body and replace the original itself in order to become a Collapse virus? Then Mr. Danrito..."

"I heard from Tianqin that the process by which Danrito himself became a Broken Origin Lifeform was quite different."

Himari's hands were busy, and she continued to work on other tasks while talking to others. "But this kind of special situation is rare, so rare that according to Tenqin, apart from Danrito, basically no one can do it."

Even his own death was calculated, and his life was considered part of the plan, ultimately allowing him to be resurrected from the dead. Both his planning and his audacity were enough to be called that of a mad genius.

"However, these things have little to do with what we are doing now."

Himari shared a batch of files from her computer with Amy. These were all information related to "Kamen Rider" that she had just sorted out.
