Scorpio Unleashed

("The Great Cataclysm, this is about the Great Cataclysm," Harry said. "He didn't deny Ron's point that if it were indeed possible to manifest the Soul of the Car Power, transcend the physical body, and gain a long or even Eternity life, only the Soul of the Car could live forever.")

("The only factor that could influence this conclusion is the Great Cataclysm.")

("The only problem now is, besides these powerful beings who defy the entire system and are immune to birth, aging, sickness, and death, what else could be the target of the Great Cataclysm?")

("So much so that even he, a living fossil, doesn't want to mention it.")

Ron was somewhat puzzled. If one mastered the immortal power within the Soul Fragment, it meant possessing the Soul Fragment, which meant becoming Informed One.

What is the difference between possessing immortality and mastering immortality?

The level of mastery of immortality mentioned by the older man clearly did not refer to Informed One.

"Everyone, are you all ready?"

The sound of the Dash echoing throughout the arena interrupted Ron's thoughts.

"Today's venue is very special. It's a super downhill race where an artificial tornado is fixed to the sea surface and rotates downhill against the direction of the wind and water!"

"Now, let me briefly explain. All the contestants start from the artificial island, reach the top of the waterspout, and then continue down through a series of challenging curves to reach the final destination—the center of the waterspout—a the Deep area 1,000 meters below sea level where sunlight cannot penetrate."

As the Dash spoke, he had already changed into a diver's outfit.

"I will be waiting for you at the finish line."

The moment the words were spoken, the area on the screen that was locked onto the Dash went completely black.

Without sunlight, it was like the ocean floor swallowing everything.

The figure of the Dash appeared out of thin air accompanied by lights.

"The match will be broadcast live on this big screen."

"I, Dr. Tsuchiya Dash, will report the live coverage."

"So that everyone can see a more exciting live broadcast!"

The starting point was already displayed in other areas of the large screen.

"1, 2, 3, 4, there are at least a thousand contestants." Ron had already appeared at the starting point, looking to both sides with great surprise.

Although the track, which could accommodate a thousand Hagrid walking side by side, gave him a rough idea of how many people there would be, he still couldn't calm down when he actually saw it.

In particular, there were many blue-haired members of the Star Horse Clan with brown goggles on their foreheads.

At first glance, it looks like a battle against an army of clones.

Furthermore, almost every contestant's eyes revealed their fervor for the competition.

(Inside the club.)

("The animation only had 16 racers across the two tracks, but this race had 1,432 participants." Madison was utterly bewildered. "It's just a mini-car, have the people in this world gone mad?")

(She knew that when Basil created this universe, he built it one-to-one with the universe that housed the [Plot Component], without adding any of his own personal touches.)

(The reason so many people signed up is because they are genuinely passionate about mini racing, and it has nothing to do with fate.)

(Most of them were Informed One, and it was because they were stronger that they occupied the niche that ordinary drivers would have originally been able to participate.)

("This is due to the different underlying architecture of the universe. Humans in this world are naturally drawn to mini-cars, just as most people are attracted to sunlight and easily drawn to the protein, sugar, and fat in food," Basil said. "It's an expression of their genes, their nature.")

"Those three." Ron noticed the only three different people in the fanatical racer team.

One of them appears to be a Star Horse Clan, and also a member of the clone army.

A person wearing a green hat and with fiery red hair.

She had her hair tied in a ponytail with an orange hair tie around her forehead.

Their expressions were spot-on, their underlying passion for the game overlaid with an air of arrogance, thick-skinnedness, and composure.

But their eyes betrayed them.

Cold, tired, Abomination

Only when his gaze swept over the surrounding members of the Star Horse Clan did he reveal a hint of affection.

"These must be the Gō, Lie, Ryū that the uncle mentioned." Magneto also noticed the unusual nature of the three.

His gaze was solemn, as he tried to discern more differences among these three so-called prehistoric drivers.

But no matter how you perceive them, these three people are just ordinary people.

Compared to the drivers whose surrounding life force soared into the sky under extraordinary perception, seemingly traversing the entire planet, this was utterly unremarkable.

Just like an old man, Dash, or Dr. Tsuchiya, he's just an ordinary person.

What shocked him even more was the content of some contestants' undisguised conversations.

"Right now, the ancestor's vehicle spirit is only in the form of the Rush God of War, which is the time when we have the best chance of defeating him."

"Are you crazy? Even though we're both from Seima, the gap between us and our ancestors is enormous."

"I just wanted to give it a try, and besides, my first target is the ancestor's brother."

"Give it a try? Even without a destiny script, the difference in the Soul of the Car Power..."

"What about the Car Soul Form that can approach the first cosmic velocity (7.9 km/s) based on its own performance? The fastest performance of the Car Soul Form of the ancestors was only 40-60 kilometers per hour."

"My speed is the Soul of the Car Power X (7.9 km/s), and the speed of the ancestors is the Soul of the Car Power X (0.01 km/s)."

"You will lose, but it's only a difference of 790 times. Compared to the Astronomy Soul of the Car Power that our ancestors have honed through countless eras and in the World Cup, it's just a speck of dust."

"No need to wait for the competition, you will soon see what a true powerhouse is. A true powerhouse from the 20th century who has lived from the beginning of time to the present without ever experiencing a generational shift."

(The people of the Wizarding World:)

(Ah, we're in the 20th century here too.)

Who is that person?

This question simultaneously appeared in Magneto's mind.

But the question was answered the next second.

"All contestants, please take your positions, get set!"

To other ordinary viewers, the Dash simply stood on the highest point that should have belonged to the Champion and began to wave.

In the eyes of those in the Informed One

Scorpius, the zodiacal constellation located in the southern hemisphere, near the center of the Milky Way, is a true collection of stars composed of open clusters M6 and M7, globular clusters M4 and M80, as well as the famous open cluster NGC 6231 and the emission Nebula NGC 6357, and other deep-sky objects, as if it had truly descended upon us!

The bright sky was completely black.

Stars with immense masses, hundreds or even thousands of times the size of Earth, have descended upon us!

Every cell is beating wildly in preparation for the impending, equal destruction.

My soul felt like it was about to shatter, and it was extremely difficult to even keep my eyelids from falling.

Of all the drivers in the row, only those three remained calm, crouching down and placing their cars outside the starting line.

Drip—

The sound of the electronic starting command instantly relieved the pressure.

The drivers regained their senses, pressed the switch, and a series of crisp engine sounds rang out.

They instinctively looked towards the source of their previous stress—the sky.

The physical stars have disappeared, replaced by the enormous shadow of a car.

It is currently changing colors as the electronic starting command sounds, and casting rays of light onto the track, enveloping the entire waterspout.

"Only a track dominated by Dash can allow racers from the ancient times to run freely," Uncle Zuo Shang said from the audience.

"Start!" the Dash shouted.

"Lie's Sonic War God started very well, taking the Sonic War God and the cars behind him were not to be outdone."

"It's so heavy." Magneto and the others noticed something was wrong with the runway.

After the start, except for Ryū, who was not able to start due to plot restrictions, everyone and the vehicles instantly arrived at the top of the tornado, the official entrance to the runway.

However, once inside the waterspout, the car, which should have transformed beyond the limits of the naked eye, leaving no afterimage and generating waves of sound, was now incredibly slow, as if its speed had been slowed down a thousand times.

It's not just them; all drivers are the same.

Even including the two drivers from the ancient era, Gō and Lie.

This far exceeds the force that a waterspout could exert to repel cars and drivers towards the finish line.

"That's to be expected," said Krum, whose Force of Speed. "If the track itself had no limitations, Gō and Lie would probably have reached the finish line by now. Wouldn't that mean the script of fate has been broken, and Ryū has lost the second place that should have been his?"

"Ah?"

"What happened?"

Gō and Lie reluctantly uttered the lines they had repeated a million times.

Even inside the waterspout, the two were still able to speak normally.

Ten thousand meters away, Ryū also uttered the lines that originally belonged to his younger brother but now belonged to him. "Hmph, one hundred seconds, I'll give you a one hundred seconds to run first."

"Such strong confidence, Ryū claims to start 100 seconds later." The Dash also said the line he had repeated countless times, "Now, the leading car has reached the bend, Lie's Sonic War God's cornering technique is very beautiful, and he has successfully passed the series of bends."

"Wow, Daddy! Lie is really amazing!" Chizuko clenched her fists, and her normally indifferent eyes filled with admiration.

The Eternity characters have begun to perform their own roles.

And the other drivers.

All I can say is that Da Shen me would be moved to tears upon seeing this.

Energy cannons that can turn an entire mountain into dust, gravitational black holes that can pull down meteorites from space, and electromagnetic waves that can disrupt the entire Japanese power grid.

They appeared one after another on the racetrack, blasting at other cars.

Some newbies, unaware that attacking the driver is futile, conjure up a blue energy blade and chops off their opponent's head.

The entire stage was stained blood red.

The Dash is still reciting his death lines.

He so wanted to comment on how clean and decisive that previous strike was, and how stylish the color of the blood of the still headless player was.

But he couldn't.

All they could do was spout out the same old clichés.

The four Champion are on this side.

"Charge! Nick!"

(Nicolas Flamel, "What do you want?")

Magneto discovered that his car had actually sped up out of nowhere.

Even the Soul of the Car Power was not lost.

"Man and vehicle as one!"

Magneto completely abandoned his principles and roared loudly.

His body disintegrated into glowing entities crackling with electricity, flying off the runners' track and landing on the [Nick], merging with it.

It knocked several surrounding cars off the racetrack.

Ron, who was spraying Venom onto the racetrack and temporarily killing a large number of opponents, suddenly had a bright idea in his eyes as he released a barrier to protect his car.

"Me too! [Green Spider]! Man and machine become one!"

The next second, his figure rose taller, transforming into a green ten-armed Giant, and then he leaped into the track.

The Green Spider, weaving left and right on the racetrack to dodge attacks, leaps into the air.

It unscientifically swallowed the 200-meter-tall energy-condensed Giant, and suddenly a green energy shell appeared, occupying half of the racetrack.

The car's speed increased dramatically, crashing into more than a dozen mini-cars in front of it.

Katy and Susan also discovered the secret that the mini race cars would accelerate when their names were called.

Because there are too many drivers doing that around us.

Their names all feature various "charge" characters.

They now deeply regret that they simply chose the name randomly to register the car.

However, the actions of their two opponents, which kept them slightly behind, prevented them from dwelling on the matter any longer.

"[Fairy Ship]!" The palm-sized Katy flew directly into the racetrack, her body disappearing into the mini race car that seemed to be made of the same material as her wings.

As the size of the keychain [Fairy Ship] increased dramatically, it transformed into a phantom.

Having passed through all the obstacles in my path, I descended straight down.

"[Moon God]!" The moon-white car, like its owner, was completely invisible.

The sound of the moving engine Evanesco.

"What happened? Four drivers have completely disappeared! They've become one with the car!" Having finally finished his lines and was now able to speak freely, the Dash immediately focused on the four men. "They are Erik, Ron, Katy, and Susan!"

"That's how it is," Dr. Tsuchiya quickly explained, "This technique is about the unity of man and machine."

"Skills can only be used when the driver and the car are in perfect harmony."

"It can unleash the Soul of the Car Power tenfold, even a hundredfold."

"But Erik and his team haven't reached that level."

"This is just a shortcut."

"During the stage when the Soul of the Car Power manifests, the Soul of the Car Power replaces the physical body, constructing an energy-based body."

"In this kind of integration, a person is still a person, only their body and the car are superimposed."

"This is not as good as true human-vehicle integration."

"But that's already a very impressive technique!" said the Dash. "Erik's [Nick] bypassed Hoshikage Ken's [Victory Rush] and reached the vanguard."

"Susan's Moon God has completely vanished. How strange, where could it be!"

"Katy's Fairy went straight off the track, taking an unconventional route. Other riders tried to imitate her, but their necks were broken by the waterspout. After escaping the waterspout, they could only return to the top and re-enter the water."

("That's normal," Harry said. "The environment outside the track is much harsher than inside. Especially after the Dash have been given extra power.")

"Ron's [Green Spider] turned the entire racetrack green, causing a large number of drivers to faint and their cars to veer off the track. Good heavens, it even grew arms and grabbed the cars next to it!"

Ron listened to the explanation from the Dash, but did not get carried away as usual.

Because he was the last of the four Champion.

He used the Soul of the Car Power he had saved by carrying people to accelerate, but instead of rushing to the front line like his teammates.
