Strange wielded the Gashacon Breaker, delivering a decisive blow to the Bugster monster.
The strike knocked the beast down, and Strange's eyes lit up, realizing the weapon's effectiveness.
It was hunting time.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Each swing released critical energy, and Strange hammered the Bugster repeatedly.
Despite his enthusiasm, Strange remembered these monsters were once his patients—humans turned by the virus.
He paused, breathing heavily, and assessed his actions. Though the attacks hurt the monsters, they weren't enough to defeat them.
Being only Level 2, his current form couldn't significantly damage these advanced Bugsters.
"Time to end this warm-up."
Strange discarded the Gashacon Breaker and eyed the other Gashat on his belt.
"Let's try this one."
As he reached for the Dragon Knight Hunter Z Gashat, the Bugsters began another frenzied attack.
With quick reflexes, Strange dodged their strikes, grabbing the new Gashat.
"Dragon Knight Hunter Z!"
He inserted it into the Gamer Driver.
"Gashat! Level Up!"
"Mighty Jump! Mighty Kick! Mighty Mighty Action X!"
"Get You! D-D-Drago! Kni-Kni-Kni-Kni-ght!"
"Dra-! Dra-! Drago Knight Hunter Z!"
Transforming into Hunter Action Gamer Level 5, Strange's new form was covered in black iron-like armor.
His right hand wielded the Dragon Knight Saber, while his left arm was equipped with the Dragon Knight Cannon.
Behind him, the Dragon Wings enabled rapid flight, and the silver Dragon Armor protected his chest.
He generated a fierce energy wind with a mighty roar, pushing back the Bugsters.
Now, it was showtime for Strange.
Inside the hospital, Stark was busy dealing with the transformed patients.
Having ensured the safety of his recovered employees, Stark transformed into Kamen Rider Zero-One, re-engaging in battle.
With his extensive combat experience, Stark quickly dispatched several Bugsters in his base form.
However, despite reverting the monsters to human form, traces of the Bugster Virus lingered in their systems—an unknown risk to Stark.
A complete surgical approach was needed to cure the infected, which only someone with the Gamer Driver could perform.
The hospital was in chaos, with Strange and Stark fighting in different areas, but the Bugster Virus spread rapidly.
A small surveillance camera was activated in a hidden corner of the hospital, capturing battles within and outside the hospital.
These strategically placed cameras provided a full view of the hospital's events.
In Genm Corp's president's office, Levi watched the live feed, Yaz beside him.
"Have a taste."
Levi offered Kuroto Dan a glass of fine wine, which he accepted with surprise and gratitude, his eyes still on the monitor.
"You've done well," Levi remarked, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction.
His plan was unfolding perfectly.
Stephen Strange had successfully transformed into Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, and the Bugster Virus spread as intended.
The satellite Ark's analysis of the Space Stone within the Cosmic Cube was progressing well.
In the president's office, Levi addressed Kuroto Dan.
"For the foreseeable future, all your efforts will go into developing game Gashats."
Kuroto Dan, understanding the implication, replied, "Of course! Games are Genm Corp's lifeblood and my everything!"
He raised his glass to Levi.
"Trust me, Mr. President. Under your wise leadership, Genm Corp will become the world's largest and most successful game company!"
Levi swirled his wine, contemplating Kuroto Dan's newfound flattery.
He suspected ulterior motives.
"The development of game Gashats is in your hands. I expect mass production soon to live up to your 'God' title."
Finishing his wine, Levi stood, preparing to leave. As he passed, he patted Kuroto Dan's shoulder.
"I believe in you."
Kuroto Dan responded with a quiet, "Understood, Mr. President. I won't let you down."
Levi and Yaz left Genm Corp, keeping the entire company under surveillance to prevent any treachery from Kuroto Dan.
Levi's plan continued smoothly with Strange now a fully-fledged Kamen Rider Ex-Aid and the Bugster Virus spreading.
The Space Stone within the Cosmic Cube was being analyzed, revealing its immense potential.
In Genm Corp's office, Levi and Yaz monitored the ongoing battles, ensuring everything proceeded as planned.
Kuroto Dan, now tasked with developing the game Gashats, aimed to prove his worth and achieve his ambitions under Levi's watchful eye.
