The Deductive Method

This was indeed a near-death experience for Magneto and his team.

Although they entered the atmosphere, the cars did not lose speed even though the race tracks were vertically downwards.

They moved at incredible speeds, their bodies engulfed in flames and light as they streaked through the air, like falling meteors.

But for the drivers chasing the shooting star, or those who are in the shooting star, what they see is the light and shadow of the car.

"So fast!"

Just before the finish line, two black shadows flashed before Susan's eyes.

"It's such a pity that the Moon God lost her third place even when it was right before the finish line."

"Jumper 1 3, which activated the Powerful Propulsion Device, have retained their third and fourth place positions."

"Then there's Susan's [Moon God]."

'Fifth place?' Magneto thought to himself.

The presence of his two teammates, who were calling each other "brother" behind him, and their proximity left him little time to think.

[Water Escape Technique: Artificial Rain]

As instinct kicked in, Magneto formed a hand seal.

The Setsuna the raindrops fell on his face

His disguised Carrow's face was instantly filled with a real, substantial burst of madness, his hair standing on end and his eyes turning red.

"It's still early! Charge! [Divine Sword]!"

The Nick has been renamed again.

Crimson, like a snake, twisted and moved forward on the track, as the phantom of the "Divine Sword," performing the "Dance of Death," descended.

Looking at the red light and shadow that was so close yet vanished in the next second, Ron, "Merlin's Beard! This guy's cheating!"

"My God! Erik's [Nick] suddenly accelerated just as it was about to be overtaken, instantly returning to sixth place and reaching the finish line in a flash!"

"Aji," Katy seemed to have completely gotten into character, "Are you really going to beat me at this speed?"

"Show him what real speed is, [Raptor]!"

[Fairy Ship] has once again lost its real name.

Unlike Magneto, whose phantom image descends upon the car, Katy's keychain-sized Fairy is closer to deformation, with its body becoming increasingly sharp, as if it wants to slice through everything in front of it.

Compared to Katy, Ron was completely uninspired; aside from the disguise of his Transformation Technique, there was no genuine emotion in his words.

("Is this guy really Skrull?" Ginny was speechless. She had thought her brother would take off, relying on his Skrull- like acting skills.)

It was Katy's disdain that made it so.

Make sure the [The Spider] doesn't underperform.

The driver was no good, so the car stood up on its own.

It landed steadily 100 meters away from the Fairy Ship.

Even though Ron's fusion is that of Aji in a bloodless, ruthless, and ruthless stage, he still can't ignore his sister's provocations.

("What's going on?" Ginny stopped her taunts; she couldn't understand how Ron had managed to keep up with Katy's speed.)

"The Soul of the Car has come to life," Harry sighed, "But Ron is further from true man-machine integration."

(Both are Champion, but Magneto is almost a true man-machine fusion, while Ron...)

(But considering Ryū's words, he couldn't deny that Ron, though seemingly foolish, had a knack for being lucky.)

(Although Ron's progress in achieving both the human-vehicle fusion and the mastery of immortality is not as advanced as Magneto's, he at least has one, and it's the most important one.)

(Ron's immortal power became increasingly active, and the car began to display a competitive and defiant spirit.)

"The Fairy Ship has reached its destination, followed closely by the Spider."

"."

Ten minutes later.

"What a pity." Ron looked at the podium. "Susan, you almost made it up there."

"It's not just a little bit." Susan showed no disappointment. "The Jumper is a super race car, and Brett and Joe have been keeping it running all along."

"Super? Isn't that just having a GP chip? That's outdated technology from the Soul of the Car simulator." Ron frowned.

"I'm talking about how advanced the cars are compared to those of other racers from the Primordial Era," Susan said. "Let's not talk about that now. The key right now is that we must master the power of immortality as soon as possible."

"Master it? Normal drivers need hundreds of epochs to do that." Ron shook his head.

"That's because they need to accumulate the Soul of the Car Power through races," Katy said. "We didn't need to in the first place. In worldly terms, our Soul of the Car is Champion- level; we are born with enormous Soul of the Car Power."

"The four of us already possess the power of immortality, and just two matches are good proof of that. It's not far from us."

Seeing that even Katy, one of the only two among the four who hadn't mastered her signature driving skills, was so confident, Ron began to feel at ease.

"And about the Super Vanguard," Magneto reminded us, "I suspect it's related to this Great Cataclysm. We should ask Tsuchiya or Dr. Ogami about it."

"And what about the Star Horse Clan?" Susan added, "Judging from Ryū's tone, they don't seem to be afraid of the Great Cataclysm at all. Even if they activate the power of immortality, they won't die like ordinary racers if they don't master it."

"Hmm~ Someone's getting close," Magneto said.

Without needing to turn his head, the recorded magnetic field fluctuations allowed him to directly identify who the visitor was.

"Hello, Xiao Jian."

"Hello~" Hoshikage Ken shook Magneto's hand, "You guys are really amazing, to be able to get into the top ten in such an official competition."

"It's all thanks to Dr. Ogami's help," Magneto said. "By the way, I have a question. It's related to the Great Cataclysm."

"This has no effect on you." Hoshikage Ken was unwilling to elaborate. "No one is competing with you for Carrow's immortal power. Besides, you are already very close to mastering it."

"What if the Great Cataclysm is about to come?" Ron interjected.

"What?" Hoshikage Ken exclaimed in shock. "But outsiders can't imitate our race. Wait, perhaps they can. Can your Transformation Technique also achieve DNA-level disguise? If the soul, appearance, and even bloodline are similar—"

"No, you can't do it."

He suddenly changed the subject as if he had remembered something.

"None of you have inherited the power of our ancestors, so you cannot fake it on a spiritual level."

"Why not?" Ron thought of Julian, Okita Kai's wife.

"Aji, R, Carrow, and the ancestors of Lie have no descendants," Hoshikage Ken said. "Even if you disguise yourselves very well, it doesn't fit the logic of the script."

"We, the Star Horse Clan, are an exception, an exception permitted by the script."

"That's why even the Great Cataclysm couldn't harm us; at most, we'd be confined to the World Cup and unable to exist as drivers on ordinary days. Because we are part of fate."

"Hoshikage Kō's surname is also Seiba, so why not?" Ron, somewhat indignant.

"Our ancestor had no descendants," Hoshikage Ken emphasized again.

When the four returned to Dr. Tsuchiya 'Hoshikage Ken place, they asked him about this issue.

"That might work."

Dr. Tsuchiya seems to have reached the opposite conclusion.

"But this won't work for you."

"This might be useful for drivers who have inherited Gō's power."

"Ah~" Ron regretted it for a moment, realizing he had wasted the opportunity to transplant a [Soul Fragment] and instead drew Aji's [Primal War God].

It's worth noting that even the older man initially suspected that Ron had inherited Gō's power.

While Ron was pouting, Magneto began to talk about the Super Vanguard.

Tsuchiya shook his head. "This wasn't my work. Perhaps it was done by Da Shen?"

"He is most skilled in artificial human technology. My 'Fire Thief' is not based on artificial humans."

"You call your place 'The Fire Thief'?" Magneto in surprise.

However, he was more surprised that Dr. Tsuchiya was not using a cyborg.

So he quickly asked, "How do you obtain [Soul Fragment]?"

"Didn't you already see that world?" Dr. Tsuchiya said, "the world made up of 0s and 1s in my [Reincarnation Pod]."

"I remember saying that the [Soul Fragment] here are closer to human beings."

"Because my 'Fire Thief' also focuses more on stealing the driver's heart."

"By performing stories that they grow up without scripts, they automatically absorb the scattered power of their souls and form fragments."

"Those stories are my 'Fire Thief'."

"Alright, if what Ryū said is true, your primary task now should be to master the power of immortality as soon as possible."

"Your competition this time has given me a lot of inspiration."

"Perhaps you can improve your proficiency in the Undying Force without going through a competition."

"You can do that?" Ron, who had just been talking about Yu Yu, suddenly widened his eyes and perked up.

For him, this is the same as skipping classes and not doing homework and still getting an E on the final exam.

"Deductive reasoning." Dr. Tsuchiya wrote these three words on the blackboard that suddenly appeared. "You need to maintain the Transformation Technique in your daily lives as well. By the way, how long can you maintain it?"

"Always." x4

"That's good. Besides your appearance, you also need to forget your own names."

"From this day forward—"

Four people competed to answer the question.

My name is R.

"My name is J, what are you doing here, sister?"

"I am Carrow."

"You can just call me Lie."

"Very good." Dr. Tsuchiya looked at the four of them with satisfaction, and even circled around them once. "The last thing, and the most important thing, is to understand the stories of the characters you are playing, their past."

"Ah, the A History of Magic!" Ron was startled back to his original form.

He interpreted this as A History of Magic, and one that spans billions of years.

In his view, this was even more difficult than killing him.

Although Dr. Tsuchiya didn't know what the A History of Magic was, he immediately understood what Ron meant. "I mean their story in the first era, their past. Since you're so nervous, let's start with Aji."

"He could be considered my Inheritors, but unfortunately he later chose to become an entertainer."

"."

"Their parents died when they were very, very young, and they became orphans."

"The actions of the Da Shen who collected orphans from all over the world to train outstanding race car drivers can be considered as saving them."

"They grew up in the research institute of the Da Shen, and were trained as drivers like 'Blood Collector'."

"Among them, R is the best race car driver in the research institute."

"But J isn't as good as his sister."

"Ah, isn't this supposed to be 'my' story?" Ron, with his Aji face, raised his hand indignantly.

"Shut up!" x3

Dr. Tsuchiya continued speaking.

"With R's encouragement, she and J made a vow that she would become number one in the world and J would become number one in the country."

"For the sake of his younger brother, to make him the top student in the research institute, R even chose to leave Japan and go to the United States to grow up."

"You all know what happened after R."

"Aji, who stayed in Japan, did not have a smooth time at the research institute either."

"Being too gentle, he was bullied by other racers all day long, and his wooden toy car left to him by his father was destroyed."

"Encouraged by Dr. Ogami, Aji became a robot who enjoyed destroying other people's cars in pursuit of victory. The best driver in the research institute went astray."

"Wait a minute," Ron raised his hand, "There's something wrong with this."

He has also killed people, though not intentionally, but he kicked someone's skull away.

"In the earliest era, the Soul of the Car existed, but they could not materialize; they resided in the racers' cars," Dr. Tsuchiya said. "Destroying someone else's mini-car is not only destroying their property, but also destroying the racer's partner."

("I get it, it's like breaking someone's wand," Ginny said. "That's definitely not a good thing.")

"This is extremely cruel—"

"What's wrong with this?" Ron shook his head, ancient Soul Power already shimmering on his body.

Therefore, Magneto and his two companions did not stop Ron and let him continue.

"What's wrong with standing up for yourself and destroying your enemy's car after being bullied and having your father's belongings destroyed?"

"The only mistake was that it shouldn't have been exaggerated."

"But I don't quite understand. Shouldn't the car breaking down be a good thing for you, Doctor, so you can make more money?"

(Ollivander was also treating the mini-race car like a magic wand, grumbled and cursed.)

(Although he made his living with wands, he never wanted wizards to ever change their wands.)

(On the contrary, he hoped that wizards would cherish their companions.)

"Back then, my research institute dominated the mini racing car market," Dr. Tsuchiya retorted.

"This is more than just a game."

"It's still a business war."

"This is the car representing Tsuchiya Research Institute that lost to Da Shen Research Institute."

"It will also spark a wave of vandalism against other people's cars."

"I get it. If things continue like this, no one will buy your car," Ron said.

"Yes, even from a purely profit-driven perspective, I should disagree with this." Dr. Tsuchiya nodded. "Besides, the Da Shen's approach is too utilitarian."

"While it may boost sales, it is completely detrimental to the long-term sustainability of the mini 4WD market."

"The cars he sent out were finished products he made himself."

"His chosen opponents were a group of kids who loved mini four-wheel drive track cars, and the cars they made themselves."

"It's so disgraceful for an expert with a PhD to bully a child."

"The greatest fun of mini 4WD is modifying the car yourself."

"In this situation, this kind of enjoyment will only be taken away."

"Is that why you prefer to build a prototype that drivers can DIY themselves?" Ron asked.

Dr. Tsuchiya nodded.
