At Da Shen Research Institute
The Da Shen did not answer.
He remained silent for a moment, then suddenly called out a name, "Okita Kai".
The two felt dizzy and their heads slammed heavily to the ground.
A pair of silver-white trousers and leather shoes came into their view.
Blood-red rain slid down from the sky.
My body is out of control.
The clear sound of the motor came on and then went out.
All of this happened in a fraction of a second; they didn't even realize what had happened.
It wasn't until two familiar bodies, cradling the fountain of blood, collapsed before them that they realized what had happened.
But
As long as a single cell exists, the [Healing Factor] that enables regeneration and revival becomes ineffective.
Internal Energy, magic, and superpowers all seemed to have disappeared.
The only thing a dying body can sense.
Buzzing—
As the engine started to roar.
Due to excessive blood loss, his brain, which was on the verge of collapse, regained consciousness.
"It seems you have succeeded." Dr. Ogami's voice rang out again. "I had Okita Kai extinguish your outward powers. You only have two choices: to truly and directly use the Soul of the Car Power to avert your own death."
"Or perhaps consciousness returns to nothingness, waiting for the Soul of the Car to perceive the driver's death and return from nothingness."
"Slay?" Susan asked with difficulty, already feeling her neck.
"You are now just ordinary people, apart from the car spirits." The Da Shen nodded. "The systems formed by your manifested powers have all disappeared."
The short man with short, golden hair and wearing metal gloves chimed in, "This took me a long time to work on; the composition of your manifested power is far too complex."
("Did we hear that right? All the exchanged supernatural powers have disappeared, wiped clean and reduced to nothing?")
("That bad?")
Katy and Susan were now so enraged they wanted to vomit blood.
The sound of the motor also became noisy and fluctuating, reflecting their current mood.
"Don't worry," the Da Shen said. "Just like when you are resurrected, your clothes are still on, so you're not exposed. The Soul of the Car has engraved all your information on it."
"What you need to do now is to fully perceive how the Soul of the Car Power reconstructs your body and the operating system of your manifested power."
"Okita Kai's power's suppression of your resurrection speed is temporary, so I suggest you don't waste your time."
The projection of the Soul of the Car has appeared above the heads of the two heads that are connected by shoulders.
Following the Da Shen's instructions, the two closed their eyes, used the [Legilimency] to eliminate all unnecessary thoughts, and their breathing became slow and almost non-existent.
They looked like two mutilated corpses, and were incredibly gruesome.
(The viewers in front of the live stream room are now all gathered in Ron's live stream room.)
(Compared to the hellish scenes surrounding Magneto, the image of him racing on the track is more easily accepted.)
("Why is the car shell that Ron has condensed getting smaller and smaller?")
("The car is slowing down more and more.")
(.)
(Ginny raised similar questions.)
("It's the racetrack," Harry said. "This racetrack is constantly absorbing all power except for the Soul of the Car Power. This is a murder, a slow murder of Ron.")
("It also forced Ron to exhaust the energy body that carried his consciousness, so that he could truly become one with the car's spirit.")
("Kill Ron who is human, and keep Ron who is a car.")
("This Da Shen is truly remarkable; in a short time, he analyzed everyone's shortcomings and provided suitable solutions for each person.")
("Is that so?" Ginny, feeling a little disappointed and ashamed. "Have I been underestimating Ron all along? For the sake of the mission, for the sake of becoming stronger, he could even endure this torturous, slow death.")
Merlin's Beard!
That bald guy got me into trouble!
Ron did not want to break free of the car and return to the racetrack.
But his gradual decline, and the car that had accumulated a great deal of Soul of the Car Power while racing on the track, clearly showed that the latter was more powerful.
The car was so captivating that he didn't even have the energy to swear.
All I can do is run alongside the car on the track, feeling my own decline and the strength of the other self within the car.
Within the mental space.
The river of various beverages has been transformed into a racetrack.
The chicken leg clouds in the sky and the cake and pie mountains on the ground gradually blurred and turned into parts of various mini racing cars.
Ron, who was human, is dying.
Ron, named "The Spider," was born.
The liquid, resembling a green swamp, began to be thrown off as the wheels turned, forming a winding, muddy green path.
"Interesting." The Da Shen had already walked to the glass wall.
Click—
A section of the track surface bulged upwards, and a practice car streaked towards the muddy path as a blue light appeared.
Sizzle—
The moment the car's tires touched the road, it seemed to have driven into a swamp, stopping in place while the wheels spun freely and sank deeper.
"It's sped up," Okita Kai said. "That Green Spider, even though its engine speed hasn't increased, this passage is its hunting ground."
"That's not all." The Da Shen shook his head.
As they spoke, a series of clicking sounds rang out, and practice cars appeared on the racetrack.
Accompanied by the orderly sound of engines, he said, "The longer the green track it leaves behind, the more efficient the Soul of the Car Power it accumulates becomes."
"What's even more interesting is that the [Soul Fragment] within these [Primal War God] did not enter the [Artificial Reincarnation System]."
"So they were swallowed up? What's Aji on?" Okita Kai asked.
The Da Shen nodded and then shook his head. "These are just practice cars, remnants of the Soul of the Car. Among them are you, Aji, Hijikata Rei, Kondō Gen, and even Hoshikage Gō and the others."
"What I don't understand is, how could the Soul of the Car, which are clearly mutually exclusive, be accepted and integrated into this [Green Spider]? Unless..."
"Unless it is a blank slate," Okita Kai answered quickly, but then rejected the answer a second later, "The formation of the Soul of the Car is inseparable from the Soul Fragment."
"No, it's still possible." The Da Shen's voice had softened, and his eyes blazed with unprecedented fervor. "Haven't we seen more and more unknown models of cars appearing before us in recent years?"
"Because the Soul of the Car are not immortal," Okita Kai replied. "They will also break down; only the [Soul Fragment] within them will endure."
"Furthermore, the Soul of the Car will change its appearance and even its abilities depending on the soul and experiences of its owner."
"But this [Green Spider] is definitely not like that," the Da Shen said. "It might be a [Empty Soul] that only exists in theory."
"A product of the collision of ancient, mutually exclusive souls, like Hoshikage Gō and Carrow."
"The collision of fragments from when they were still full of passion and Soul of the Car!"
"Pure [emptiness] that has been ground down to nothing, devoid of all qualities!"
"Accept all emptiness!"
Sizzle—
Inside the green track, a dark green car sped along, its body shell breaking apart like a cocoon.
A car completely different from the previous ones drove out.
They drove out of the muddy road that had swallowed up debris.
The tail fin, formed by eight sharp spider legs, came together to create a huge cannon hole at the rear of the vehicle.
The two enormous fangs at the front of the vehicle are hollow, forming pipes that connect to the gun ports.
The muddy road that had spread across the entire track gradually disappeared as the cars moved forward.
The pipes bulged, as if something was flowing through them.
A black and green energy cannon gradually took shape at the rear of the vehicle.
Rumble—
"That feels so good!"
When Ron woke up, he found himself lying on the side of the track.
He rubbed his head. "It feels like I ejaculated something."
"Then."
Ron didn't have time to identify who the unfamiliar voice belonged to; he quickly reached out towards the car where their souls were connected. "This is... [Green Spider]?"
He looked at the car, which was now almost unrecognizable, with surprise.
"You did shoot something." The unfamiliar voice rang out again. "If I hadn't had the Spider King block it in time, this research institute would probably be in ruins."
"You're awesome, I hope to see you on the field."
"My name is Okita Kai, but you can also call me by another name, 'Spider King'."
"Hello," Ron said, shaking Okita Kai's gloved hand. "Ron Weasley."
"Are you an Eternity character?"
"What? Doesn't look like it?" Okita Kai shrugged.
"I'm not saying you're short, you're just... just..." Ron couldn't find the right words for a moment.
"Not lifeless, not listless?" Okita Kai asked with a smile. "That's probably because I never have to take orders from anyone, nor do I have to participate in the World Cup. In the original script, I was the coach in the World Cup."
"The coach of the tropical team."
"Me and my teammates." He paused, a deep sense of nostalgia flashing in his eyes, "Julian, Sally, Vicky, Michelle, Clementina, Spider King, and Zebra, together we broke free from the shackles of fate."
"A long, long time ago."
"I just didn't break free completely. I've been crazy before, and I even died once."
"Julian 135 helped me find myself again."
"One hundred and thirty-five generations?" Ron asked, puzzled.
"Julian's descendants," Okita Kai said, "My wife."
"You can get married?" Ron asked in shock. "But you—"
"I'm not a primary school student." Okita Kai rolled his eyes. "To put it simply, I'm just a dwarf. Losing my coaching role also means losing my constraints—in the second half of the script."
"This is our 13,489th wedding anniversary."
"Julian is very talented, especially in terms of outward expression."
"So, as long as you have talent in manifesting power, you can live forever?" Ron asked.
"Of course," Okita Kai nodded, "as long as we don't suffer a [Great Cataclysm]."
"This is also related to the role-playing method."
Julian inherited the Zebra.
"Why isn't someone whose name is Julian, whose soul is Julian, and whose body is close to Julian?"
"Julian is a character who already existed. She is a retired Eternity character, but the new era does not have her storyline, and she does not have an indelible relationship with Eternity characters like Dr. Ogami's daughter."
"It's much easier for her to achieve immortality than for the average driver."
("Love is indeed the greatest Mana; it can even conquer time," Dumbledore remarked.)
"What exactly is the Great Cataclysm?" Ron asked.
Okita Kai his eyebrows, about to answer.
Bang--
Lava splashed.
A scarlet arc of electricity flashed through it.
Magneto, whose hair had turned silver-white, emerged from within.
"Carrow, that's great." Okita Kai grinned maliciously.
In the World Cup, he was a coach, not a driver. Carrow, who was completely dead and could only appear on the World Cup stage, was like two parallel lines that would never intersect.
Even if this Carrow isn't entirely Carrow.
But that was enough to satisfy him.
"Cut it in half! [Spider King]!"
"Is this the racer from the ancient era?" Ron, who was standing close by, was already pressed to the ground by the powerful soul pressure and was unable to move.
He was secretly pleased that he had improved a lot, and that the car could still be summoned and run smoothly on the track.
Magneto, who was mainly covered by the pressure, remained suspended in the air, with the shadow of the Soul of the Car, half of which was now stained with scarlet lightning marks, visible above his head.
"Come forth! [Divine Sword]!"
In the red lightning, the front of the car became incredibly sharp, like the tip of a sword.
The tangible 'sword' Aerial Collision.
The clanging sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the stadium.
It nearly ruptured Ron's eardrums.
"How could that be? It was just a sound of a collision—"
The Green Spider has already manifested, its engine is running, and almost all of its Soul of the Car Power is being used to distort and isolate the negative state from the outside world.
Enough to withstand a hundred Voldemort's Avada, or ten Five-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb.
But his eardrums were almost ruptured.
"Stop it!" The Dr. Ogami's voice drowned out the continuous clanging of metal.
The black and red flashes that met in the air became visible and hovered in mid-air.
"If I hadn't been paying attention, the research institute would have needed to be built again."
Ron then realized that an even greater Soul of the Car Power was enveloping the entire research institute and oppressing him, and part of the force he was resisting came from this.
"Fortunately, we still have the Dr. Ogami." Ron regained his confidence.
With the roar of the car engine, the three returned to the stands where Dr. Ogami was.
"They are—" Magneto asked, putting away the vehicle he had renamed "Divine Sword".
At this moment Susan and Katy's bodies have been fully restored.
However, Katy's external powers are not yet fully developed, so she still has a normal body size.
This caught Magneto's attention and aroused his suspicion.
Especially under his magnetic field induction, the two of them, apart from having vigorous vitality, were almost no different from ordinary people.
"They are reconstructing their manifested power." The Da Shen seemed somewhat excited. "I never imagined they were also [Void]."
According to his design, Susan and Katy should reveal their corresponding soul shadows during the process of rebuilding their manifested power.
But the mere sight of the car made him realize that they, like Ron, were [empty].
"I see." Okita Kai, who hadn't had a proper fight, immediately understood.
In the past, Dr. Ogami would never have cared if his research institute was destroyed, as long as he could see exciting battles.
Now Okita Kai understands; he was afraid of waking the two girls.
