The Car Soul Awakening Ritual Nears Completion

"Carrow?" Magneto, regaining his senses, was inexplicably drawn to this name.

"You will see him again," the man said. "People like us, who are blessed by fate, never truly die. Even if our souls are scattered and our Reducto, we will still return when fate needs us."

"He just died the most thoroughly."

"He will appear when the World Cup starts, but he will only appear during the World Cup."

"Carrow always wins on rainy days."

"Every time Gō goes on a summer vacation with Tōkichi and Lie, they encounter an accident."

"Ryū and Jirōmaru became orphans."

(Madison, who had just finished watching the Dash, said, "Huh? They're not orphans. They live in the mountains all the time, and their parents have never appeared.")

("No, but fate deemed them more suited to be orphans, just as you, as a spectator, have misunderstood," Basil said.)

"Hijikata Rei became a girl."

"Kondō Gen always carries lollipops."

"Okita Kai will always be short, and Ryū is his Eternity rival."

"."

"The chains of fate are so stubborn that they have almost become a part of us."

The middle-aged man sighed, his eyes filled with sorrow, but a gentle smile remained on his face.

Magneto, Katy, Susan noticed this and couldn't help but feel a chill.

Emotions and expressions are not allowed to be freely expressed, and what's worse, it seems that one must permanently participate in races as a mini-race car driver.

One year, or even a hundred years, is another matter.

But once this scale is stretched to tens of billions of years, or even forever...

It's utterly hopeless.

No wonder this old man sees the end as a blessing.

"I'll go first, I'll go first!" Ron was completely oblivious to the change in atmosphere as he appeared by the furnace with the parts he had chosen.

He coughed. "I'll just use my hair."

After carefully observing that no one around him showed any disdain, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly threw the hair he had cut off and the parts of the mini racing car into the oven.

Ouch--

Ron jumped up and down and yelled.

He knew it would hurt, but he didn't expect it to hurt this much.

How did Erik manage to hold back his scream?

It was as if the skin of the whole person had been torn apart, or as if the person had been cut in half from head to toe.

"This is a spider?" Magneto exclaimed in astonishment.

He swallowed the word 'totem' that followed.

At this moment, the racing car inside his body reappeared above his head, allowing him to unleash his pupil technique.

From his perspective, a giant Green Spider was detaching from Ron's body, half of its body already submerged in the furnace.

Ron pulled the bellows.

The oven was like a gaping maw of an abyss, its vortex swiftly and decisively swallowing the spider.

Then, the iron block belonging to Ron flew directly out of the furnace and onto the anvil.

The car shape above Ron's head also solidified instantly.

"So fast," the uncle exclaimed. "The Soul of the Car has taken shape. But... there's still the spider, Okita Kai? He did indeed die once."

He had no doubt that something was wrong with the aura.

Over the course of more than a hundred billion years, he has seen countless race car drivers who have inherited the spirit of the strong.

This situation is not uncommon.

Over the long years, even the soul can change.

Moreover, Okita Kai and Gō's Soul Fragment have combined.

Having witnessed Magneto's condition, Ron knew that the outline of a car would take shape above his head.

He didn't even bother to pick up the hammer; he just looked up.

"Green! Well, not bad either."

Although green symbolizes lowliness in the Dragon Country, it also represents affection.

However, in Europe and America, it is a beloved color, and even the US dollar is green, carrying many beautiful symbolic meanings such as youth, hope, life, and peace.

Even in the Wizarding World, it's not entirely associated with Slytherin.

So Ron hesitated only briefly before he began to praise the car's appearance, which was decorated with various shades of green, had exaggerated fangs on the front, and was covered with spiderweb-like patterns.

"Look at those full, wild fangs, so cool! And the tail fins are so sharp, they're my Spider Spear! This design... is truly worthy of me!"

It wasn't until the old man reminded him that Ron remembered he still had to forge iron, so he picked up the hammer.

Ding ding—

When Ron struck the iron block, there seemed to be a faint sound of water coming from deep within it.

The thick, green Venom that overflowed after the crack appeared proved this point.

Hiss—

White smoke began to rise from the anvil.

The iron block had already sunk into the Venom.

At this moment, a car identical to the one that had been above Ron's head before emerged from the liquid that resembled green slime.

The dark green spiderweb pattern resembled a crevice, drawing in the overflowing liquid.

A flash of green light appeared.

The car plunged into Ron's heart.

"They're back, they're all back." Ron activated his senses.

Everything around him finally slowed down again, the dust in the air became clearly visible, and the colorful electromagnetic waves came into view once more.

His pupils were crimson, with four black tomoe rotating within them.

"The Soul of the Car Power manifested in the driver so quickly. That's remarkable." The uncle glanced at Ron. "But your Soul of the Car Power seems quite chaotic. You need to let the car run on the track more often."

"Chaos?" Ron pointed to himself.

He was somewhat puzzled; with Harry's help, he had clearly integrated everything into the Force.

The Myriad Poisons Heavenly Technique gathers the poisons in the body and sublimates them into Poison Force.

The Poison Release Chakra acquired after the body mastered Poison Release is also included in it.

As for the Life Force, it was transformed into Yang Release Chakra and then incorporated into the Poison Release system.

The Inhumans' ability to create water is also the foundation of his Venom form.

With everything reduced to Poison Release and the Sharingan merely an external manifestation of his spiritual power, he was lost in a state of confusion.

"The Soul of the Car is crying," the old man said. "The power you possess, centered on poison and manifested in the form of a spider, is not fully reflected in your racing car. You haven't recognized yourself."

"Your life force has been refined into three different powers."

"Two kinds are connected to the soul. One is wandering and merging with your whole body, immersing itself in every inch of your body, and traveling through the channels inside your body."

"An instability can only be stabilized and combined with through a channel formed by a third force."

(Ginny guessed, "The 'wandering' part probably refers to Ron's magic, and the pipes are Magic Fiber.")

("As for unstable Chakra? It needs the Shadow Seal and the meridians through which Internal Energy, represented by the third power, flows to maintain its stability.")

(Harry nodded. "You guessed right.")

"Although these three forces eventually converge into one, this complex manifestation reflects the chaos of your Soul of the Car Power."

(Harry shook his head. "This man is insightful, but he's still wrong. Because Ron is completely different from the superpowered people in this world; he had his superpowers first, but lacked a supporting foundation.")

("Instead of the support existing from the beginning, it just wasn't manifest.")

"That child just now was completely different from you."

"The Soul of the Car Power manifests in him as a unified and harmonious field of layers upon layers."

"You mean Erik?" Ron asked.

His eyes widened, and he almost exclaimed, "Is this the power of the Magnetic Field Rotation? It unifies all forces into a field!"

The uncle nodded. "Here I want to remind you that 'the race is not only on the track, but also outside the track' may be effective for other drivers, but for those drivers with ancient souls, it will stimulate the Soul of the Car Power."

"You are not destined for Eternity existence. Until the immortal power within the Soul of the Car is found, you will truly die."

"What is the power of immortality?" Katy stopped what she was doing.

She was about to start putting parts and blood into the oven.

"The Destiny Force comes from the fragments of the souls of the strong that you have inherited," the old man said. "You must learn to truly make them a part of you. As long as the corresponding strong beings exist, you will also be immortal."

("This is Horcrux!" Voldemort blurted out.)

"You might have a harder time, because the fragments you inherited come from two Eternity characters— Hoshikage Gō and Okita Kai."

(Harry shook his head; he noticed an ancient aura entering Magneto's body. "Ron and Erik's situations are completely different. Ron didn't inherit the so-called fragments.")

"Uncle, why do you think—"

Ron was interrupted halfway through his sentence by the older man saying, "Your personality. Fragments of the Soul of the Strong will come with the personality traits of the Eternity characters. Gō's thick skin, Aji's gentleness, Lie's sensitivity, and Ryū's arrogance."

"All the Soul of the Car in this world originated from Tsuchiya and Da Shen, and there was also Teacher Tieshin."

"They built car after car using Soul Fragment of fallen powerful beings."

"Give them to the drivers, let them grow in the drivers' hands, and finally die with the drivers, entering the graveyard of mini cars."

"To become part of this planet, to be born alongside newborns."

"Finally, it manifested in my body using car parts and a part of my own body."

"While the spider element of your power shows that your Soul of the Car originates from Okita Kai, your personality reveals that your true nature comes from Gō."

"Isn't there an Eternity character with a personality like Gō?" Ron frowned.

"Yes, Nie Ming from the Nordic Odin team," the uncle said. "But with the disappearance of the World Cup, he is no longer Eternity figure. Among the teams from various countries, only those who are favored by fate, such as Carrow, Heil, Yeli, Joe, Brett, and He Wang, continue to remain on the Eternity stage called the world."

"The World Cup is gone?" Ron asked in confusion. "Uncle, didn't you just say that the National Championships had been turned into the World Cup?"

The middle-aged man maintained his gentle smile. "The format for mini racing is as follows: racers are selected through spring, summer, autumn, and winter competitions to participate in the national championships. Then, the national championships are used to select unnamed racers to represent Japan in the World Cup."

("This guy has a really good memory; over a hundred billion years have passed, and he still remembers the competition rules.")

"And now."

"The racers who can participate in the World Cup are selected through spring, summer, autumn and winter races."

"But World Cup drivers are no longer divided by nationality; each one represents themselves."

"It's called the World Cup, but it's actually just a national competition with the selection scope expanded to the whole world."

("So the competition format hasn't changed. I'll remember it even after it's been repeated so many times.")

("It's 1,389,457,399,49 times.")

"Is that so?" Katy's hand trembled, and the part stained with her blood rolled out of the oven.

The intense heat swept away all her distracting thoughts.

Hands had already mechanically begun to pull the bellows.

The outline of a miniature race car, significantly smaller than both Magneto and Ron, took shape above her head.

The car's wheels are very special; the rims have no outer covering and are shaped like propellers made of dragonfly wings.

The car body also looks like it's made of overlapping dragonfly wings, and it looks like at least a hundred dragonflies were killed.

The car's chassis is made of transparent White Crystal.

It is exquisitely crafted, like a work of art.

However, Katy did not look up.

Unaware that Magneto's momentary lapse of judgment led to his connection with the planet's magnetic field, which attracted Carrow's Horcrux, she assumed that the chaos in Ron's Soul of the Car Power was related to Ron failure to strike the metal block immediately and his distraction from looking up.

So it wasn't until the iron block flew out of the furnace and she struck the anvil eighteen times that she saw the shape of her mini race car.

"It's so small, it can be used as a keychain." Katy said as she returned to her palm-sized form.

"Judging from the matter-transfer technology your mini-racing demonstrated, the Soul of the Car within you must be quite young," the older man said. "Probably only a few billion years old. Erik, right?"

Magneto nodded.

"Yours is even older. The application of electromagnetic field technology in mini racing cars dates back more than a hundred billion years," the man said. "Of course, the raw materials for Soul of the Car are all very old. I'm referring to the dates they were manufactured at Tsuchiya and Da Shen."

"That mini racing car is called 'Thunder Star,' and it can paralyze the entire city's power."

"At that time, its chip went berserk and invaded the arena of Gō and Ichimonji Gōki."

"It even attracted bombing raids from America tanks and planes in an attempt to capture the dangerous 'Thunder Star'."

"It was the passion of Gō and Lie as drivers that inspired its chip, and everything calmed down."

The middle-aged man took a long time to regain his composure before saying, "Your turn."

He looked at Susan at the end, "Watching the car spirit awakening ceremony is the only truly novel experience I've had in all these years of my life."

He patted Chizuko's head with his large hand, his eyes seemingly devoid of any intelligence. "Chizuko likes it too."

"Yes." Susan put in the ingredients.

She also opted for bloodletting.

("What a disgrace! The Champion of our world are afraid of pain and chose hair instead.")

As she pulled the bellows, everyone looked up at the top of Susan's head.

The silhouette of a moon-white mini race car, where every component exudes beauty and refinement, emerges.

"Chizuko," the uncle said, "the Soul Fragment you inherited must have originated from Chizuko."

He was still smiling gently, but his eyes began to gleam with memories.

"That was more than a hundred billion years ago."

"At first, Chizuko was able to act normally and honestly."

"Gō has become a professional race car driver."

"Lie works at the space agency."

"Aji has become an entertainer."

"Chizuko was always considered an ugly duckling, has become a swan."

"This made Gō, who had always avoided her, start pursuing her passionately."
