Racing Competition, Immortals Assemble

Hello, my name is Bronya Zaychek. Although I look like a little girl, I am actually an adult. Many years ago, due to an accident, my body was permanently stuck in a child's stage.

This is my sister, Seele Vollerei, a very gentle girl, though a little shy.

I have two other younger sisters, Rosalia and Liliya. Strange, it's so late, why aren't they back yet? Did they go wild again? I'll have to talk to them when they get back.

Although I adopted these three younger sisters from an orphanage and they are not related by blood, our bond is no less than that of biological sisters. Even though there's a significant age gap.

I currently work as a designer at a Yugi company, and my income is good enough to support the four of us. Their grades are also decent, and they're not usually mischievous, so being the older sister, the father, and the mother all at once isn't too tiring for me.

But there's one thing that really bothers me: Rosalia and Liliya have an almost obsessive love for racing. I'm not the kind of rigid parent who would object to their interests within normal boundaries, but they've seriously crossed my line.

If it's just watching racing, I certainly don't object, but these two brats actually want to drive race cars! How can that be allowed? Do they think it's like playing Yugi? Becoming a qualified race car driver is not an easy thing, and the profession itself is very risky. What if something happens?

Ah, the doorbell is ringing; they must be back.

Bronya opened the doorbell, and shadows enveloped her petite body. She stiffly looked up, and a kind-looking pink-haired boy was smiling and greeting her.

"Oh my god, the fox has become a spirit!" Ya Ya cried out in fear as she looked at Xing's fox ears.

"Hey, isn't it a headdress?" — The innocent twins

It's a bit awkward, is Bronya really that timid in this World Bubble?

They used the illusion created by the Mortal Tribulation Difficult to Cross to fool her. After Arin Sisters explained, Bronya finally believed that the fox-eared boy was a normal human who had saved her sister.

"Sir, thank you for saving my two sisters. If you don't mind, please stay for a meal. Rosalia, Liliya, you two come with me for a moment. I have something I'd like to discuss with you privately. Seele, please entertain Mr. Yae Xing."

Bronya kindly dragged the Arin Sisters away and called out Seele.

"Hello..." Seele greeted him timidly, probably because Bronya wanted to train her courage to communicate with others.

He noticed the camera on the ceiling and seemed to be deep in thought. Just as he was about to tease Seele in this World Bubble, the girl suddenly trembled, her head slumped down, and when she looked up again, her blue pupils had turned red.

"Yes, it went very smoothly. After all, I am originally from this World Bubble, so taking over her body is a piece of cake." Black Seele clenched her fist, feeling more comfortable with her own body.

Fortunately, she said with a hint of helplessness, "Even though you're from World Bubble, it's not good to casually take over other people's bodies, Black Seele."

"Mind your own business. But you, don't get too carried away playing in the World Bubble." Black Seele glanced at the camera on the wall, and suddenly had an idea. She deliberately leaned close to Xing and whispered in his ear, "Do you think if the big sister in this World Bubble sees us like this later, she'll want to kill you?"

"Stop messing around, I can hack into electronic devices." Sensing Yae Sakura's murderous intent, Yukio decisively stopped her dangerous behavior.

"Tch, boring." Black Seele pushed him away.

—The dividing line for meals—

Fortunately, she kept her head down and ate her rice silently, while Bronya was scolding the Arin Sisters.

"I've told you so many times, racing is very dangerous. What if you had an accident? This time you actually found a car to go out and drive, and you almost lost your lives... Cough, Mr. Yae Xing, if you think I'm too noisy, you can go over there and watch TV after you finish eating."

The Arin Sisters looked at Xing expectantly, hoping he could say a few words in their defense, but the boy gave them a helpless look and silently left. So, Black Seele became their last hope, but she abandoned her meal to watch TV.

They naturally wouldn't interfere in their own affairs, and obediently moved to the side to watch TV, while the bored Black Seele also came over.

"Breaking news! The once-in-a-decade Racing God Competition is about to begin in three days! The winner of this competition will not only receive the title of the new Racing God, but will also win the First Generation Racing God's ride in Metal Gear Bronya! All racing enthusiasts, get moving!"

She glanced at Bronya, who was still giving a lecture, and wondered if this duck had anything to do with her when they talked about Metal Gear Bronya.

"Also, as long as you participate in the competition, you can get a limited edition Bronya fang figurine!" The host took out a transparent box, inside which was a small and cute figurine with short brown hair, golden eyes, a petite figure, a smile with a hint of smugness, a white sailor dress, and dog-head safety shorts. For some reason, it made everyone who saw it feel a strong urge to want it.

Wow, it's Aunt Chen! I want to participate!

Fortunately, he was immediately excited and couldn't wait to start the game.

Bronya, having finished her lecture, walked over and was somewhat surprised to see Xing eager to try. "You like racing too?"

"Yeah, influenced by a friend of mine, a bit." Xing nodded, subtly summoning chains to drag back the Book of Cang Xuan, which was rummaging through Bronya's refrigerator. Adding a consciousness filter to you isn't for this!

"Hmph, not only does Brother Xing like racing, he actually owns a car. Brother Xing, would you like to participate in this competition?" The Arin Sisters sidled up, their eyes glued to the screen.

Are there any requirements to participate?

Bronya looked him up and down, her eyes momentarily glazed over before returning to normal. She advised, "You look like a novice. It's fine in regular matches, but you should give up this one."

"Why?"

"The Car God Competition has the lowest entry barrier of all racing competitions. All you need is a vehicle that can travel at high speeds. But it is also the most dangerous. Participants must sign a death contract beforehand, and the organizers will not be responsible for any accidents or injuries that occur during the competition."

Xing Geng became even more interested. "That's so exciting! I definitely have to go check it out!"

"Hey, you..." Bronya wanted to stop her, but saw the other person get up and leave. "Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Bronya. Also, I suggest you take Seele to see a psychologist; there might still be hope for successful treatment."

?

A bewildered Bronya looked at Seele, only to see Seele's face darken and her body tremble slightly before she looked up blankly. "Sister Bronya, I... I was just entertaining that big brother, wasn't I? Where did he go?"

Bronya was silent for a moment, then picked up the phone and dialed a number. "Hello, is this the Siola Clinic? My sister seems to have developed dissociative identity disorder. Please prepare the admission procedures."

On the other side, just as Xing Gang stepped out the door, Black Seele, who had followed him in quantum form, angrily punched him. "What did you mean just now? Is it fun to tease me?"

Xing deliberately teased her, saying, "Yes, Seele's angry but helpless expression is really cute~"

"You bastard!" Black Seele was furious, wishing she could smash his dog head with her paw, but her wrist was easily grabbed by the other party. "Think carefully, even if you are at your peak, you still can't beat me."

Black Seele was so angry that she stammered, "You, I, I..." Poor Black Seele, who lacked knowledge in this area, couldn't think of any swear words and could only swallow her anger.

Damn it, don't let me ever find a time when I can manipulate you at will!

Once she calmed down, Black Seele glared at him fiercely, crossed her arms, and stopped talking.

"Hmm, next I'll go register. Let me ask where the registration point is... Huh?" Just as Xing Gang had this thought, he felt a blur before his eyes. When his vision returned to normal, he was already standing on a wide track, with spectators cheering him on from both sides.

The host, aboard an airship, enthusiastically announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Racing God Competition! As you can see, the contestants are ready. Let's see what vehicles they have prepared!"

"What, what's going on?" Black Seele was dumbfounded.

Fortunately, after checking the introduction of the Guidance Module, it explained, "Um, the Yugi cutscenes will automatically skip unimportant plot points and proceed to the main story. You can think of it as World Bubble not having many records of those three days, so it jumps directly here."

"Oh, wait a minute, what's going on over there?" Black Seele pointed at the other competitors on the track and shouted as if she had seen a ghost.

"Let's first turn our attention to the reigning champion, Kiana Kaslana, who has won the annual racing championship for ten consecutive years. Her ride, Benares, looks to be in pretty good shape today!"

The white dragon roared to the sky, while a fluffy white ball of fur lay fast asleep on its back, showing no signs of pre-competition tension.

Black Seele: "How could we not win?"

"Then there's Raiden Mei, the eldest daughter of the Raiden Family, who has always been second to Kiana. I wonder if her Kurikara can redeem herself in this competition and surpass Kiana's Benares? Wait a minute, where did Miss Mei go? Oh my god, look, Miss Mei is cooking for Kiana!"

Xing: "Can these two dragons appear at the same time? No wonder it's called World Bubble."

"Next up is Dr. Tesla from Anti-Entropy, and the vehicle she has chosen is—" The host looked at the enormous steel body, swallowed hard, and shouted with barely suppressed excitement, "Anti-Entropy's latest giant robot, Heavenly Father!"

Lobster Doctor in the cockpit was brimming with confidence. "Hmph, a bunch of trash, this genius is determined to claim the title of racing god!"

Black Seele: "It would be so much fun to take apart such a huge robot! Wait, isn't this a racing competition? How did a robot get here?!"

Xing: "Calm down. If dragons can participate, why can't robots? This is World Bubble, don't worry about it so much."

"Let's take a look at Lady Jackal from World Serpent. Hmm, she's absent due to an explosion during the experiment? What a pity. Now, let's move on to the next contestant. Wait a minute, that golden cross, that cute face, could it be?!"

The host held his breath and enthusiastically introduced, "The long-retired queen, the legendary driver, the world's cutest Theresa Apollyon, I never thought I'd see her on the track with Judah. It seems the title of racing god is really tempting!"

Next, the host introduced the other contestants one by one, finally turning his attention to Xing, who hadn't yet brought out his vehicle. "Hey, you pink-haired guy, yes, I'm talking to you. Why aren't you showing the audience your vehicle yet? The race is about to start, and if you're not prepared, you'll easily be overtaken by the other contestants at the starting line."

Xing raised his hand and asked, "Excuse me, is it against the rules to change vehicles midway through a journey?"

The host glanced at the rules. "There's no such rule in the racing competition, but theoretically it's possible."

"Alright, I have a variety of vehicles. I will show them off one by one after the competition starts, giving the audience the most exciting experience."

"Wow, I never expected Yae Xing Yuki, who came out empty-handed, to say something like that. Does he possess the legendary Fourth-Dimensional Pocket? Anyway, let's wait and see!"

Xing stretched his body, and Little Te next to him handed him the Build Phone he had just finished. "Here you go, Little Xing, this one doesn't have a self-destruct function."

"Thanks, Little Te. Black Seele, could you please take them to the audience seats so they can enjoy my performance via live broadcast later?"

"Hmph, don't go too far." Black Seele snorted and left.

He inserted the Motorcycle Energy Bottle into his Build Phone, transforming it into Motorcycle mode. He mounted the motorcycle, put on his belt, and prepared to start the race.

"Wow, we can see that Sachi has finally brought out one of his vehicles, which is a motorcycle! I have to say that this kind of simple and unpretentious vehicle is a breath of fresh air in this chaotic arena. So how far can Sachi, who insists on a normal race, take? Let's wait and see!" The host couldn't help but give Sachi a thumbs up for riding a motorcycle, as he was the only one driving a normal vehicle.

The host after the match said, "Normal my foot! You were the one who played the most fancy tricks of the whole event!"

The Arin Sisters in the stands looked excitedly at the arena. Rosalia shook Bronya, "Sister Bronya, look! It's Brother Xing! Can he win?"

"Hmm, Rosalia, you should pray that he survives to retire safely." Bronya looked at her old rival on the track and silently prayed for the boy who had saved her sister.

As time ticked by, the competition was about to begin. The host gave a final pre-race briefing. "Please allow me to introduce the rules and procedures of this Racing God Competition. Each contestant will drive their vehicle through multiple zones, facing various harsh environments. Along the way, they must also be wary of mutated creatures and threats from other contestants. Regardless of the method used, the person who manages to reach the finish line in the end will be the new Racing God and will receive the vehicle that Bronya once rode! And the prize for surviving the race is a Bronya figurine!"

"Well then, without further ado, all you contestants, start your engines and get ready to cross the first zone— the Steel City!"

"Ahead lies a bustling city. Contestants, please use your superb skills to traverse this area. Although we have evacuated the residents in this area beforehand, please note that if you cause damage to buildings or loss of property during your journey, you will be immediately disqualified from continuing the race!"

"Alright, enough chit-chat, get ready, one minute left... Wait a minute, what is Yuki doing?"

"Rabbit! Tank! Best Match! Are you ready?"

"Transform!"

"Steel Moon Salt! Rabbit Tank! Yeah!"

Clad in red and blue knight armor, Xing brushed aside the rabbit ears and compound eyes on his head and confidently declared, "The Law of Victory have been determined!"

This arrogant statement attracted the attention of the other contestants. He felt their gazes, but he didn't care. He was so excited that he just wanted to start the competition as soon as possible and release his long-suppressed impulse.

Finally, I can finally stop restraining myself and unleash all my power!

"Oh my god, he's transformed! And he's making such a confident statement. It seems he's got victory in the bag. Well then, I won't waste any more time. Listen to the command!"

Three!

Two!

One!

Go!

With the sound of the starting gun, all the drivers sped off at full speed, signaling the start of this thrilling racing competition.
