Harry Heads to a Parallel World

"Is this what they call an eye-opener?" Katy looked speechlessly at the [Super Vanguard] who was lagging behind.

The 'eye-opening' experience she had been anticipating for a month was truly beyond her expectations.

The arrival of Gō and Tōkichi, who had not yet descended from the sky, the autumn race track, and the fact that two-thirds of the racers had been forced to leave the track due to the poisonous swamp ocean that Ron had created covering half of the track, all surprised her.

("Finally." This caught Cedric's attention. He narrowed his eyes. "I remember that according to the plot, the final move should be [Cyclone Rush].")

("The Super Vanguard can actually defy parts of the plot without incurring a backlash from fate.")

If we're going to talk about the track...

Of the four, Susan probably knows her best.

In order to provide a track for faster-than-light racers within a limited space, organizers often use harsh negative terrain as a distraction factor, and of course, the indispensable spirit of the Dash supports the track.

The Summer Tournament is like a scorching heatwave, Da Shen Cup is like a black hole.

In the Autumn Season, they will be battling against time.

The river of time flowing against the current is their racetrack.

If one's mastery of the Soul of the Car Power is insufficient, one will forever remain at the starting point, or even Oblivion to ashes.

This has already excluded a large number of drivers.

But if you add Ron to the mix, they'll be a cancer on the field now.

Aside from the Ancient Driver, there are only a few outstanding [Blood Collector], modifiers, and a blue-haired Star Horse Clan left on the field.

Therefore, Ron also became the target of concentrated attacks.

Magneto couldn't interfere, which is indeed the case.

Among them, the modifiers were the most serious.

They already disliked Ron because of his detachment, and now both old and new grudges have surfaced.

Dimensional Strike, Time Steal, Space Shear, Star Destroyer Cannon, Existence Cut.

Feeling dizzy, as if he were running on N tracks simultaneously, Ron, relying on the immortality brought by the swamp and the resistance of the transcendent to non-self rules, emerged from annihilation for the Nth time.

There is a possibility of reunification.

("The car swallowed by the swamp became his resurrection coin. Now, he has 7 lives left," Harry said. "After 7, resurrecting him will consume additional Soul of the Car Power.")

(However, he wasn't paying attention to the screen while he was speaking.)

("I have seen the gate to a parallel world.")

(His hand disappeared into thin air, and a thin, dark-haired boy wearing an oversized T-shirt and worn-out round-framed glasses was pulled out of thin air.)

("Who are you?" the boy asked timidly.)

("You," Harry said gently.)

If Ron knew he would see another Harry when he went back, his gloomy face would immediately light up.

However, his brows soon relaxed again.

He miraculously revived multiple times, Soul of the Car Power did not diminish, forcing the attackers to give up and instead focus on escaping the green swamp as quickly as possible.

Seeing that Ron was alright, Magneto gradually turned his attention to the Cyclone Rush that was rampaging behind him and seemed to be malfunctioning.

The faint, lurking gale that seemed capable of overturning the entire galaxy, and the ancient yet vibrant Soul of the Car Power, couldn't help but catch his attention.

In particular, he knew what would happen later.

In the original storyline, [Cyclone Rush] surged from last place to first place in one go.

The rapidly formed air shield could even lift up both the [Jumbo] and the [Devil Commander] in one go.

He was eager to see just how fast [Cyclone Rush] really was.

With that in mind, Magneto reduced his speed again.

However, it's not that it's to get closer to [Cyclone Rush].

In fact, any driver who knows the plot does this.

This is all because of the Hijikata Rei.

This old man is very cunning. After being overtaken by Gō, he deliberately slowed down so that he could pierce the motors of all the cars with his 'spear' in one go.

Of course, she later suffered the consequences.

Because the brand-new spear had been overused, it ended up getting stuck inside the [Jirōmaru Special Special], and couldn't be pulled out once it was inserted.

In the end, [Jirōmaru Special Special] won the first place that originally belonged to him.

However, Susan and Katy's situation wasn't entirely due to Hijikata Rei.

They are more interested in being "Super Vanguard".

Because he looks so ordinary, even from the perspective of Beyonder being, he is unremarkable.

But this only proved that he was extraordinary.

Most importantly, the face they were observing under the mask was empty, a void, no matter what methods they used.

(Arriving in a parallel world with Ginny, Harry, who is confronting the Dursley, is drawn to the live stream footage of Katy and Susan that is still playing in his mind.)

"It's always like this," Dursley, his face flushed. "Just like this ungrateful wretch's father, arrogant and rude."

("They said all their relatives were dead and only we were left, it was all a lie!")

(He roughly pulled little Harry away, saying, "You're not taking him away. We raised him.")

(Petunia's body trembles, "You freaks, get out of my house! You've already taken my sister, and now you want to take my nephew too?")

("A nephew wearing your fat son's old clothes?" Ginny sarcastically.)

("Fat!" "How dare you, you square-faced freak—" Dursley and Petunia were as if they'd been stepped on.)

(The next second, Petunia remembered that the two people opposite her could use magic, and quickly comforted her son by bending down and turning around, her movements incredibly smooth, "Dada, you're not fat at all, you know? You just have a big frame.")

("I was wrong," Harry sighed. "I should have let someone more suitable talk to you from the beginning.")

(He pulled a person out of thin air.)

(Petunia turns her head as if by telepathy, then falls on her bottom, "Lily ~")

(Judging from her voice, she seemed to have lost all her strength.)

(As Dursley embraced his wife and child, he unconsciously shielded little Harry behind him, confused and fearful, "What on earth is going on?")

("I'd also like to know what happened." A gentle voice rang out.)

(Ginny stares wide-eyed at the newcomer, "Wow—it's the gentle version of Dumbledore from the movies!")

(Harry chooses to continue recruiting.)

(Dumbledore, who was holding hands with Grindelwald, recognized the person opposite him at a glance after seeing the movie, "Another me~")

(Recognizing only the milder version of Grindelwald from the film Dumbledore, ignoring the other version of his words, his voice inadvertently became slightly angry, "Who are you? Tell me, Gellert Grindelwald.")

("This is getting interesting." Harry mischievously pulled Ginny to a sofa to sit down.)

(Unlike Harry, who has a more exciting 'drama' to distract him from the [Super Vanguard].)

(Other former Champion — Krum, Cedric, Phoebe —still consider the [Super Vanguard] their primary target.)

(All of the body's stat points were allocated to perception.)

(The three of them even huddled together.)

(And they all coincidentally overlooked Hoshikage Gō with a maniacal laugh, and his "Cyclone Rush".)

(The boundless power of [Cyclone Rush] is quite obvious.)

(However, the [Super Vanguard] shows almost nothing unusual.)

(For this reason, they even began to study the unique design of the vehicle-shaped armor worn by the [Super Vanguard]s, among which the helmet, which resembled a mask and could be detached to reveal the face, was carefully observed by them several times.)

(In the end, it was Phoebe noticed something was wrong. "His demeanor, the key is his demeanor, he's becoming more and more like a human being.")

("How did you discern its character from beneath that fully armored body?" Cedric asked, puzzled.)

("Although I don't understand it either, it makes sense. Didn't Okada Tesshin say before that he wasn't a fully grown man yet?" Krum said. "The reason he always lagged behind was perhaps to observe the drivers, to gradually become a real person in a way that we don't understand or can't observe.")

("Wait, Susan and Katy seem to have discovered something too.")

("Could it be that only members of the opposite sex can sense it?")

Susan and Katy chose to remain to the left and right front of the [Super Vanguard].

"Li Lin?" Susan suddenly said, "I saw Li Lin's silhouette."

"He's slower now," Katy frowned.

("I think it's more likely because their boyfriend is also Li Lin," Cedric said. "If this guy is Harry's alternate-world counterpart, I bet Ron would be the first to realize something's wrong.")

Magneto and Ron didn't seem to pay much attention to the [Super Vanguard].

Magneto followed behind Cyclone Rush for a while.

Then it slowed down again.

Ron, on the other hand, was slow from the start, just like most drivers who knew the plot.

He didn't want to be targeted by that terrifying "Devil Commander".

"This is."

In the silence where all sounds were swallowed up by the flow of time, the pattering rain coming from ahead caught his attention.

"It's raining? But we're indoors."

Magneto, still reeling from the terrifying speed of Cyclone Rush, looked up and asked, "Rain?"

He keenly connected this to the plot.

The presence of rain prevented the infrared rays emitted by Hijikata Rei's ring from detecting the target.

This allowed Lie to escape unscathed.

"It's just ordinary rain," Magneto, puzzled.

He didn't understand why it was necessary to expend so much effort to make rain fall in reverse time and keep it stable.

This has no impact on the drivers.

Because everyone was consciously slowing down, the distance between the back of the queue was not far.

A blue-haired member of the Star Horse Clan caught Magneto's words. "Character design, or more accurately, character design, is the weakness of the Eternal Driver."

"I remember this should be common sense."

"Faced with the fierce solar winds and the time reversal that leads all things to their end, they are able to emerge unscathed."

"But when faced with just a little rain or snow, they actually need to change their tires."

"If the track is too long, the super-fast Cyclone Rush may even run out of tires to change."

"This is the most important factor that could really help us beat them."

"Is that so?" Magneto suddenly realized.

Although he was at the back of the stage, his visibility allowed him to spot the riders in the stages ahead.

Currently, [Cyclone Rush], [Pioneer Sonic], and [Devil Commander] occupy the top three positions respectively.

Everything unfolded according to the script set in the original era.

The splash from the Pioneer Sonic made it impossible for the Devil Commander to aim at its target.

"Okay, land had already appeared on the primitive Earth. The smoke from the volcanoes mixed with water vapor and turned into rain, cooling the Dadi's temperature."

As the Dash spoke, the rain had already reached the middle section of the second team.

[Speedy Cobra], [Black War God PG], and [Jumbo] led the fourth, fifth, and sixth places respectively.

It's astonishing to see that this embodiment of destruction, the "Jumbo," can become slippery due to rain.

Magneto understood the words of the cyborg even better now.

"[Jirōmaru Special] has caught up at an incredible speed. It seems he's switched to rain tires." The Dash continued explaining.

"It's time," the member of the Star Horse Clan suddenly said.

"When?" Magneto in surprise.

He discovered that the star horse had actually increased its speed.

Knowing that the [Devil Commander] was about to unleash a massacre, many drivers preferred to endure Ron's Green Swamp and continuously lose their Soul of the Car Power rather than move forward even a little.

"You," the Seiba said, glancing at Ron, "Are Hoshikage Ken's friends, right? Follow me."

Magneto, still somewhat skeptical, slightly increased his speed.

Ron didn't.

"My name is Hoshikage Hon," Hoshikage Hon said.

"Little Rainbow." Magneto, adapting to local customs.

"This is our internal strategy guide for the Star Horse Clan," Hoshikage Hon said. "Dr. Tsuchiya didn't upload this part of the story to the website because of us. The strongest trinity form of the Ancestor will appear when [Rush God of War], [Victory Rush], and [Cyclone Rush] are present simultaneously before the final stage."

"This is a precious opportunity, and you have to get close to truly appreciate it."

("Wow, what a shame Ron missed that opportunity," Harry said, without a trace of regret in his voice.)

(It wasn't because of Voldemort's Horcrux and Voldemort, nor because of Sirius in this universe.)

(But)

(Young Harry and Ron are playing together in the garden outside the Burrow.)

(At this time, Ginny was still shy, hiding in her room, drawing the curtains, and secretly peeking at the scene in the garden through the cracks.)

"It's a real shame," Ginny said, her gaze fixed upstairs. "Looks like I should give some encouragement to a certain young lady."

("I have a question." The milder version of Dumbledore, looking at the image projected onto the dining table, interjected, "According to my other self, they are almost equivalent to gods. Can't your friend Ron hear the conversation between this gentleman called Magneto and Hoshikage Hon?")

("Or is there some kind of encryption method?")

("Time," Harry said, "Is reversed on this track, and sound cannot be transmitted without additional force.")

("Without the intervention of additional forces, Magneto and Hoshikage Hon's conversation is something only they themselves can hear.")

(Ron wasn't even in the mood to eavesdrop.)
