The Host of the Soul of the Car

But what intrigued Magneto the most was that the driver gave him the feeling of being a car, completely devoid of human presence.

This feeling came from his perception of the Soul of the Car after he reached the same state of oneness with the car as the bald boy before.

The boy in front of me was like the car itself.

His soul is racing along the racetrack with the car.

Only his body was running.

But that ardent gaze and the vibrant aura emanating from his body were clearly not fake.

"Oh~"

The sudden change in environment made Magneto unable to help but shout out.

He could already vaguely see the dark space, the enormous sun, and stars that were much clearer and brighter than those seen from Earth.

The ionized gas, now incredibly thin, with its ever-increasing temperature and growing colder feel, is close to the environment of space, proving that he has reached the exosphere.

This also means that there are still 2200km left before he reaches the end of the physical runway.

The moon revolves around the earth, and the earth revolves around the sun.

Therefore, the runway from Earth to the Moon does not exist as a physical entity.

The driver needs to correct the course himself, find the moon, and find the entrance.

Fortunately, for someone who can sense magnetic fields, finding the moon's location was easy.

However, this is hardly an advantage.

Unless the moon is directly obscured by the Earth, its location is not difficult to find.

There is also a significant possibility that it will be discovered after it goes off the racetrack.

But these are not things he needs to consider.

It's two minutes until he gets there.

"With their exceptional cornering skills, Lie and Tōkichi were the first to leave the racetrack and head towards the boundless space!"

"Next up is Ryū's [Triangle Arrow], followed by Brett and J's [Jumper 1] and [Jumper 3]."

"Then came Kurosawa's [Black War God]. Oh no, in order to save Gō, Acheng's [War God 600] was knocked off the track and turned into a dazzling meteor, falling to the Dadi!"

Katy, who was listening to the voice of the Dash, looked at the ancient car spirit that was gradually dying—the meteor mentioned by the Dash.

"How could such a powerful Soul of the Car be defeated by flying off the track?"

Every inch of the vehicle shell that fell from the [War God 600] carried an extremely rich ancient aura, and the pressure it emitted even created cracks in the space.

But it's just like an ordinary mini race car; the shell shatters at the slightest impact and it can't be restarted.

Susan, back on the racetrack in reality after the barrier shattered, and Ron, Spider-Sense was so strong his heart felt like it was about to burst out of his chest, couldn't believe that the car had so easily left the track.

If even a tiny bit of that immense Soul of the Car Power were to take effect, [War God 600] could instantly be fully revived and soar back to the track.

"It's Kurosawa," Dr. Tsuchiya's explanation came at the right time. "Although it's extremely weak, it's definitely Kurosawa's Soul of the Car Power. He suppressed the operation of the [War God 600] Soul of the Car Power, giving it the fate of being able to only be fragmented."

"Wow~ No wonder it's the Black Demon King who specializes in causing car accidents, the [Black War God]. Its fangs can even suppress the operation of the Soul of the Car Power. It's simply the nemesis of race car drivers."

"Unfortunately, it has already fallen behind the [Rush God of War], no, it has already bared its fangs and charged forward!"

"What's going on? The [Rush God of War] took off! It flew directly onto the [Black War God] and then crashed down on it!"

"The Black War God has stopped operating. What happened? Was it destroyed?"

"Is it going to stay in Earth's orbit forever?" Kurosawa was urgently activating the Soul of the Car Power to repair the vehicle.

"The [Super Vanguard] and the [Nick] have caught up and are flying towards the car in front, towards the moon!"

"Oh no!" Magneto couldn't help but exclaim.

As he passed by Kurosawa and his "Black War God," a faint aura emanating from the Black War God, which was gradually emitting a subtle motor sound, made him hear a distinct cracking sound, followed by a sharp pain in his heart.

This caused the car, which had experienced a speed increase of dozens of times after leaving the atmosphere and entering space, to return to its original speed.

Several seconds passed before the [Black Hole Engine] was fully repaired.

These few seconds were very precious to him.

He is currently about 370,000 kilometers away from the moon. At his previous speed, it would have taken him at least six hours to get there.

At the current speed, it would only take eighteen minutes.

He lost a few seconds out of eighteen minutes, not six hours.

Magneto has no time to worry about this loss right now; his top priority is to survive under Kurosawa's command, who still enjoys destroying other people's cars.

"Don't worry."

The sudden sound in his 'ear' made Magneto, who was already on edge, even more terrified. If he were still in human form, he would probably be covered in cold sweat.

"Kurosawa, the God of War, has been resurrected from the car accident!"

The voice of the Dash allowed Magneto to understand who the voice belonged to without turning around or using his senses.

"You're a very good driver," Kurosawa exclaimed. "You've already used up most of the [Black Hole Engine] in just one race."

Digestion?

Magneto quickly checked his heart, or motor, and sure enough, a faint crimson glow appeared on the dark surface of the motor.

"I won't make a move against you," Kurosawa said. "According to fate, I will reappear in three minutes to entangle with Gō again, and then fly off the runway and be completely eliminated."

"I'm really curious, without the [Black War God Legion], how will I exit this time?"

"Alright, I really won't do anything. In this time before I die, I still have some freedom and don't have to stick to the persona I established earlier."

Magneto breathed a sigh of relief, then noticed that Kurosawa's gaze was fixed on the silent [Super Vanguard] and his driver.

"Interesting. Is this the trump card that Tsuchiya or Dr. Ogami prepared for this era?" Kurosawa suddenly said, "The true Soul of the Car, and the body it resides in."

"What do you mean?" Magneto asked.

"What I mean is, this driver isn't human; he's just the body inhabited by the Soul of the Car. The one we're competing against right now is the [Super Vanguard] itself," Kurosawa said.

"What exactly is this—" Magneto wanted to continue asking, but Kurosawa and his [Black War God] had already disappeared in front of him and appeared a thousand meters away.

He knew that three minutes were almost up.

Kurosawa should go find Gō and then leave.

Ron feels the same way right now.

He had already reached the springboard at the escape layer, the end of the physical track.

I had only chatted with Acheng, who was standing at the end of the track like a waiting-for-husband rock, for a few minutes before I had to leave him because I still had a race to go on.

"Ahhh, Acheng was just about to give his suggestion!"

Having endured countless attacks from the [Primal War God] air cannon throughout an era that seemed to Astronomy numbers, Acheng was quite adept at using air cannons.

Although Ron didn't know about Acheng's past, after a few brief exchanges, he had a new idea for his own energy cannon.

He thought of the application of the Force technology.

In the Starry World, there are quite a few New Human who use energy cannons as a form of Force application technology, that is, magic as a medium.

He can also add magic to it.

This refers to the Soul of the Car Technique in this world.

But Acheng didn't have time to share his further thoughts.

"Ahhh, I can do it myself!"

"[Green Spider]!"

In the spiritual world, the [Aguamenti] and [Stasis Charm] spells, which took the form of cars, traveled in opposite directions on a track sculpted from chocolate, and then collided!

"[Weasley Shockwave]!"

The green energy cannon began to rotate, then emitted bursts in stages.

The speed of the Green Spider no longer decreases after the aftershocks of the energy cannon dissipate, but instead stabilizes at a high speed.

In Susan's view, it was as if her teammate, whom she had just left behind, Present Body at an unpredictable speed and was gradually overtaking her.

("Nice name, that's a good move," Ginny reluctantly praised. "But what's going on? I mean, the only difference is that he chatted with that driver Acheng for a few minutes.")

("Magic, he added magic to it," Harry said. "A very creative combination of his Inhumans abilities, like spraying water.")

("To achieve an inexhaustible source, no longer constrained by muddy roads, the accumulation of the Soul of the Car Power.")

("Which magic?" Ginny asked.)

("The Aguamenti, and the Stasis Charm for Flying Broomstick," Harry said. "If I'm not mistaken, he also added some techniques from the Water Release: Water Arm Technique.")

("Him? Ron?" Ginny asked incredulously.)

("He's using part of the car's intelligence, or more accurately, using the car's senses to operate the Soul of the Car Power," Harry said. "In this respect, neither Susan nor Katy are as good as him.")

("While they are indeed more in sync with the car, resulting in stronger abilities and [barriers], to the point that they are practically invincible—they won't be forced to leave the field if the car is damaged.")

("But this is a race.")

("It's not about whose car got the least damage.")

"I need to be faster." Susan realized this after being overtaken by the [The Spider].

Her barrier ability is also a kind of reality distortion, but it only distorts the reality within the barrier. It can be used to paint on the canvas formed by the space within the barrier, or to tear the canvas to shreds.

Previously, she had tried to detach herself and the car from the track space as much as possible, so as to avoid the resistance of the track.

Now, she is turning the pointer of the [Time Acceleration Device] backward by a greater angle, to the maximum extent.

"My God!" The voice of the Dash rang out again.

"After the Black War God's attack on the Rush God of War failed and instead caused it to fly off the track and completely withdraw from the race, the Moon God, which suddenly appeared, jumped from tenth place to seventh place!"

"The Moon God, which has always hidden its beauty on the track, seems to be no longer willing to shyly hide itself under the moonlight."

"What?!" x3

Magneto and his two companions were utterly shocked.

"Is it her innate driving skill?" Magneto and Katy both thought Susan had awakened her innate driving skill.

"I just surpassed Susan?" Ron was still in shock.

(Ginny and Magneto Katy share the same thought; she looks at Harry.)

(Harry shakes his head. "Susan hasn't awakened her innate driving skills. She's still using her force field, or barrier, to create Illusion Technique, but this time it's mainly targeting the [Time Acceleration Device].")

("However, this was just a fleeting moment; her Yin Release power is not inexhaustible.")

("Need to wait for the cooldown.")

("Didn't you notice that her speed isn't as exaggerated as it was before? She's only slightly faster than Magneto now?")

("Ron," Ginny couldn't help but sigh.)

(In her opinion, her brother must have come in last among the four Champion this time.)

(Of the four Champion, only Ron's innate driving skills boost his speed, but he is actually the slowest.)

(And Susan and Katy are this fast even without awakening their innate driving skills.)

Ron didn't take being surpassed by Susan to heart.

He belatedly realized that Susan had awakened her innate driving skills.

He wasn't expecting to place in any competition, but he was more curious about Susan's best driving skills.

"The skill of [Cosmic Sonic] is [Cosmic Big Bang], which uses an energy recovery device to collect all redundant power and unleash it at once for acceleration."

"That's right, Susan's Moon God just accelerated a bit."

Ron's thinking overlapped with that of Magneto and Katy.

This led the two to start thinking.

Magneto was thinking about how to apply the "Dance of Death" to acceleration.

"Light, electricity, magneto-optics—the essence of light is electromagnetic waves."

Katy is thinking about how to awaken her innate driving skills.

"My [soul] originates from R, who is Aji's Sister, loves her younger brother very much, and is number one."

For a moment, she was annoyed that Aji hadn't played in the Aji.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have to worry about how to awaken her [natural driving skill].

Given the bond between the two siblings, and the rarity of R [Soul Fragment], which is similar to Carrow's, if Aji were to possess it, she would surely be as lucky as Magneto, awakening her [Destined Driving Skill] and gaining immortality at the same time.

"Aji. That's right, Aji!"

Is it Ron?

Katy's Fairy Ship began to slow down.

"What's going on? Just when the battle in the front ranks was in full swing, the [Fairy] suddenly slowed down. Is it malfunctioning, or is it not adapting well to the space environment and has exhausted its Soul of the Car Power?"

The words of the Dash allowed Ron to spot the Fairy Ship, which was already not far from him and the Spider.

"Call me sister."

"What did you say?"

Ron had no idea what Katy meant.

Because of his shock, the Spider almost deviated from the best route to the moon.

"Our [Soul Fragment] are a brother and sister," Katy reminded her.

"What the hell?" Ron was a little speechless.

"I am Li Lin's woman," Katy said.

"That means if I call you 'sister,' I'll be Homelander's brother!" Ron exclaimed, incredibly excited. "Sister!"

"J," Katy said.

("Will this even work?" Ginny asked with a look of disgust.)

("It worked," Harry said. "Their cars all increased in speed after they started interacting.")
