Qin Siyang frowned slightly. This was no longer a question of speed.
He released the throttle, letting the Capsule Pod glide to a stop on the river.

Having dealt with Large Gods many times, he knew this feeling all too well.
If he couldn't close the gap even at full speed, and the other party could still keep its distance with ease, that meant catching it was simply impossible.
One of that fish-like Large God's special mechanics was that it couldn't be caught.
