Da Shen Cup Begins Inside a Black Hole

"Hey, this guy Li Lin might be our boyfriend!"

Susan and Katy are perfectly in sync.

Katy was so angry that she reverted to her original form, a fairy with dragonfly wings the size of a palm.

"Then the question is," Magneto said, "Will this Li Lin, the [Super Vanguard], participate in the Da Shen Cup?"

"Maybe?" Katy regained her composure.

She thought of Okada Tesshin, who had Evanesco since their last meeting.

"We'll find out tomorrow," Susan said.

The next day.

The Da Shen Cup venue.

"Have you seen Li Lin?" Katy, in her fairy form Accio.

"Even if that guy really participates in the competition, it really is Li Lin, you wouldn't believe it, would you?" Ron hinted. "I made that mistake before, and Lavender is still angry with me. She thinks I was very disrespectful to her, using a substitute for someone else."

(Lavender in the dormitory. "Oh, Ro-Ro-!")

("They're not angry at all.")

(Ginny, watching from the Great Hall, immediately understood. "My brother is lying; he's just playing Lavender on the side.")

"Hey, we're teammates, I know you. The girl who made that Lavender angry was Emma and Lee Jordan," Katy said. "Also, I'm not going to find a stand-in. I just want to see that face again. It feels like I haven't seen him in a century."

(Basil coughed guiltily.)

(Although he himself only felt that a moment had passed, in the process of transporting the four people to the real world of 4WD, from the perspective of the four people's physical senses, nearly a hundred years had actually passed.)

(This can be considered a reuse of the technique he used to grow to adulthood without affecting his lifespan during his journey to the Good and Evil Magic World.)

(However, he only felt guilty for a moment.)

(In the real world of four-wheel drive, becoming Beyonder is much more difficult.)

(Without this experience, even after three more eras, Ron and Katy, having been tempered by the real years, would not have been able to break free from the shackles of fate.)

"Now that you mention it, I really want to be Lavender too," Ron said.

(Ginny's eyes darkened. "Um—, you mean Harry?")

("Maybe?" Harry shrank back.)

(Even now, as Cosmic Knight, with three wives and a girlfriend, he still doesn't know how to handle girls.)

(In the Rune Card World, his status as a male wizard is more akin to that of a woman.)

"Let's think about the match later," Magneto said, his gaze fixed on the building beneath the massive silver-gray curtain. "It's truly astonishing; even I can't see through it now. What will the match venue actually look like?"

"The space is so small," Ron said, looking at the space, which was ten times the size of Hogwarts. "Maybe it's an artificial universe? It just looks cramped."

"But none of that matters. Whether it's the Da Shen Cup or the Autumn Tournament, our goal is to finish the whole thing and make the greatest possible progress."

"The most important thing about the Da Shen Cup is to stay away from [The Giant] and Kondō Gen."

"I'm afraid it's more than that." Magneto suddenly looked up.

He saw streaks of meteors hurtling toward Earth, each one radiating a magnificent Soul of the Car Power.

Perhaps the drivers they represent are not necessarily the Beyonder.

However, the breadth and depth of their Soul of the Car Power, and the alienation brought about by the severely modified [rule fragments] that are out of place in this universe, are extremely eye-catching.

("Why is he so nervous? Are these guys really that powerful? He's already Beyonder." Ginny, somewhat puzzled.)

(As far as she knows, in the entire universe today, apart from Magneto and Susan, the Soul of the Car of all the other Beyonder are bound to the time period from the start of the World Cup to the end of the era.)

(These drivers are powerful, they're practically made of "Rule Component," but it doesn't have to be like this.)

("As I said before, even without the power of immortality, those at the stage of possessing the power of immortality can grow stronger without limit," Harry reminded them. "If the Beyonder are birds, and ordinary drivers are fish, then they are the giant whales of the Deep.")

"So strong." Ron's reaction proved Harry right.

The Deep whale and a fish like him still exist in the same dimension.

He could also clearly sense the ocean of Soul of the Car Power that seemed to be suspended high in the sky, moving forward at a speed that left drivers speechless.

In particular, he is also trying to rekindle his "The Spider" that once roamed the universe through the connection between the car and the driver.

This makes the perception clearer.

"They are..." Susan's gaze swept over the figures who were originally just ordinary passersby, but became the focus of attention as the car spirit came close.

The appearance of these modders, who gave up on becoming Beyonder and stopped at the stage of ordinary drivers and Informed One, and who mainly focused on "Rule Component," seemed to have opened the curtain.

("Didn't you say that some of these drivers had even given up mastering the power of immortality? How come they seem to know the plot too?" Ginny discovered a blind spot through Susan's 'lens'.)

("If the Soul of the Car Power is strong enough, it can also make Informed One situation," Harry said. "That's what Ron and the others did at first.")

"Is that the competition venue?" Katy looked at the venue where the curtain was lifted.

That was pure black.

The darkness that swallows even the sunlight.

Several metal pillars formed a framework that extended to the starting point and finish line.

The connected mini-racing track disappeared into the [black], and even with all one's observation skills, it was impossible to perceive the environment within.

("Artificial Black Hole?" Harry squinted.)

"At first glance, the venue may seem unremarkable, but its secret lies within this darkness." As the initiator of this competition, the Da Shen's voice rang out simultaneously with the unveiling of the curtain.

"That's the Artificial Black Hole device that ignites the intense competition, and this is the super black hole runway!"

"With your efforts, your car should be able to withstand the pressure of the black hole. Good luck."

"The story is about to begin," Magneto said.

"I know, it's obvious." Aji -faced Ron pointed to Dr. Tsuchiya was angrily walking towards Dr. Ogami.

The two began to talk.

"You're here too."

"What are you doing."

What do you want to say?

"That black hole."

("What's there to be afraid of? It's just Artificial Black Hole. Something used to make engines." Ginny didn't understand.)

("No, the Da Shen Cup is open to all drivers," Harry said. "The Summer Race is held on the sun, but at least there are qualifying rounds to exclude ordinary drivers. But on this supermassive black hole track, any driver whose speed doesn't exceed the speed of light under the pressure of the black hole will be torn into elementary particles by gravity and enter the singularity.")

("This is purely for destruction.")

"As you can see, cars and drivers that can't withstand the pressure will be sucked towards the singularity at the center of the black hole. It's a great device as an opening ceremony for a combat-oriented race."

"Setting up obstacles in a race is meant to test the car's performance. But you're just trying to sabotage the car. You need to stop it immediately."

(Ginny's eyes crinkled into a smile. "Your words are just like Dr. Tsuchiya's.")

The conversation between the two naturally reached the ears of the four people.

However, they didn't pay much attention to it.

Because

"To exist intact under the pressure of a black hole while also exceeding the speed of light," Ron said with a bitter face. "It's getting harder and harder."

Although he is much stronger than he was in the summer season, he is still using the outdated [Black Hole Engine].

It has only just been digested and has not yet reached the true state of man-machine integration.

The car's performance is close to the speed of light.

Unlike Magneto and Susan, whose cars are capable of exceeding the speed of light.

Perhaps, when Ryū mentioned the Da Shen Cup and the transcendence before the Autumn Tournament, he was referring to the difficulty of the track.

Perhaps in the upcoming Super Cup National Competition Challenge, he won't be able to handle the track unless he becomes the Beyonder.

"Aji," Katy transformed back into R, "Cheer up, don't embarrass me."

She no longer cared about searching for any potential "Super Vanguard" figures in the crowd.

As for Magneto and Susan, whom Ron considered capable of challenging this track.

They were keeping a close eye on the modified drivers.

The competition began in this tense atmosphere.

"Everyone, you must persevere to the end!" said the Dash. "Ready, go!"

None of the drivers who knew the plot started.

Like Kondō Gen and his "Jumbo," he remained at the starting line.

They all knew that Kondō Gen had a penchant for destroying everyone's cars, venting his inner destructive urges.

Kondō Gen seems to be the embodiment of destruction.

Without emitting Soul of the Car Power, its mere aura disrupted the surrounding air and even sunlight, creating a vacuum.

'This guy is terrifying.' Magneto felt this most acutely.

It wasn't because he was close to Kondō Gen.

It's because of Diablo.

A month has passed, and the car shell has become part of his flesh and blood, a part of his body.

In some ways, he is closer to the essence of destruction than Kondō Gen, the Ancient Driver, and his purity is even deeper.

But his strength lies only in purity.

The big, silly guy next to me with the Watermelon Head seems to have destroyed his intelligence as well.

Despite having lived through countless eras, the destructive urge in his eyes remained as innocent as a child's.

The destruction of those drivers who were instantly compressed into the size of an atom due to insufficient speed and inadequate mastery of the Soul of the Car Power, without even having time to scream, only excited him more, and his breathing became heavier.

This idiot genuinely wanted to destroy the car.

Victory is irrelevant, plot is irrelevant, all I want is destruction.

What makes Magneto most nervous is that this big idiot's most wanted target is actually him.

So, ten seconds later.

When Big Fool had to bite his lollipop and start running because of the plot, while the others started running three seconds later, Magneto still hadn't started.

Ron quickly understood Magneto's idea.

'Damn it, that big idiot is so cunning!'

After the [The Spider] almost overtook the [Jumbo].

Susan and Katy are the same.

They noticed that the "jumbo" was deliberately slowing down, just so it could destroy all the cars without pulling one of them.

The same applies to other Informed One.

Only Ron almost fell for it when he charged in.

"Don't worry."

After entering the black cube and the black hole shaped by the gravity restraint device, Katy, who was trying her best to maintain the stability of her body and car spirit and to release the Soul of the Car Power to detect the movement around her, suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice in her ear.

She 'looked' at her and saw a black-haired cyborg.

The sound continued.

"The [Jumbo] can't keep its speed down for long because of the plot; sooner or later, it will have to face off against the [Black War God]."

"Soon, we'll be able to run with peace of mind."

After everyone entered the black cube, Magneto started the train.

The car body began to envelop the entire body.

The Nick, no longer silver-gray but black and silver, suddenly disappeared.

"What?!" Susan sensed a familiar presence and quickly used her Soul of the Car Power to transmit her voice, "Stop!"

Susan's actions were timely.

Magneto, who had almost overtaken the "Jumbo" car, managed to slow down in time.

"Thank you," Magneto said sincerely.

He almost noticed that the [Jumbo] was also preparing to slow down, but for some unknown reason, it could only increase its speed sharply.

"Our goal is simply to finish the race," said a modified engineer wearing square-framed glasses who witnessed the scene.

His blue-gray car shimmered in the blackness, its movement disjointed, as if it were a spatial or temporal leap.

"Your control over the flow of time is perfect. I'm afraid I could never do that. You truly deserve to be called a genius who transcends time in just one era."

His words to Susan revealed his methods.

"Why did you choose this path?" Susan asked, puzzled.

She had only subtly adjusted the timing while transmitting the sound, making the sound arrive before it did; the movement was extremely subtle.

This modifier is clearly very talented.

"I don't want to be unlucky enough to encounter [the Great Cataclysm]." The bespectacled modifier said, "Even without possessing the power of immortality or becoming Beyonder, I can still continuously increase the Soul of the Car Power, continue my career as a racer, and keep improving my speed."

"If the [Great Cataclysm] comes, even a modifier like me will just be a [Rule Component] that gets washed away."

"At that time I had enough time to possess, and even master, the power of immortality."

"A wise choice," Susan said.

This is not just a polite remark.

The time between the Great Cataclysm and the Great Destruction is at least in the hundreds of millions of years.

Enough for any driver to become the Beyonder.

Because of the cause of [The Great Cataclysm], the destruction of the script will make the remaining script more solid.

If you choose to become a complete reformer from the start.

The car body, composed of [Rule Component], suppresses the awakening of [Soul Fragment].

You can start by understanding the rules.

After the [Great Cataclysm], the skill points will be reset.

As a driver who possesses a vast amount of Soul of the Car Power and has comprehended the [Rules], he returns to the right path.

("That's not a wise move," Harry shook his head.)

(He probably understood what Susan meant.)

(However, after witnessing Susan and Magneto break free from the shackles of fate, he discovered that becoming Beyonder also depends on one's own mindset.)

(If, as a modifier, one lives too long, one loses the will to fight.)

(Even with exceptional basic skills, they can't compare to those newcomers who exude youthful energy.)

(No wonder the Da Shen consider these people to be losers.)

(Because they are almost destined to remain at the stage of possessing immortal power, and will eventually perish in the next round of [Great Cataclysm].)
