"Come on, Your Majesty, can you defeat both of us at the same time?"

Good Opera's face once again showed that confident and determined smile. At this moment, many horse racing girls noticed that the afterimage condensed on Good Opera seemed to have... added a figure?

She is now fighting against the emperor's overwhelming power with the strength of two people!

Chapter 211: The Emperor's Domain Torn Apart, A Complete Good Opera

"Why does the grandeur of a good opera feel so strange? Has she broken through again?"

On stage, Tamamo Cross was very surprised by the change in the "momentum" of the opera when she saw this scene. In particular, when she noticed the faint human-like figure on the phantom, she was so shocked that she almost dropped the takoyaki in her hand.

"Oguri! What on earth is that?! How come the grandeur of the opera has suddenly changed so drastically? Is this a breakthrough or a deviation?"

"...I don't know either, it's the first time I've ever seen something like this."

Oguri Hat was so surprised that she put down the chicken leg in her hand. It was rare for this "monster with reeds" to be surprised by the scene in front of her that was incomprehensible to her. For the first time, she showed a bewildered expression when faced with a question on the field.

What exactly happened? Why did the Belvedere Opera suddenly undergo such a huge change in its momentum? If the initial momentum of the Belvedere Opera was that of an unstoppable overlord, similar to the feeling symbolized by Emperor Rudolf, then now it is like a sword sheathed, restrained.

But restraint does not mean a lack of power. The good opera, like a sword sheathed, remains undrawn even in the face of the emperor's fierce attack. Instead, it waits for an opportunity, an opportunity to unleash its full power.

Oguri Hat could sense, and even foresee, that when the sword of good opera was drawn again, even the emperor might be startled and flustered.

But what exactly happened? Did "Overlord" awaken a new form just now? Just like when it was at the Chrysanthemum Appreciation? But even if it made a breakthrough, it couldn't possibly reach such a level all at once, could it?

Not only Oguri Hat, but all the other equally talented female racehorses were completely baffled. Only trainers Ikezoe and Imai showed a subtle expression after noticing the phantom on Kogeki.

"Senior Jinlang, that is..."

"Ah, I know, this is really... eye-opening."

Imai was also shocked by the scene before him. Others might not know, either they were ordinary people who couldn't see such a phantom or they were horse girls who didn't understand this scene, but Imai and Ikezoe knew very well that the one riding on the back of the good opera was none other than Wada himself!

His figure was now merging with the phantom of the opera. Jinlang and Ikezoe should have been shocked by this scene, but then they suddenly felt... it seemed quite normal.

"After all, it's a good opera and Wada-kun, so if they can do it... it seems quite reasonable."

“Then we don’t need to worry about anything now, right?” Upon hearing this, Chi Tian nodded in sudden realization, looking at the arena with a subtle smile on his face. The tension that had been on the two of them vanished instantly, replaced by a sense of ease.

Meanwhile, the group of female racehorses standing next to Ikezoe and Imai were completely bewildered by their trainer's words, not knowing what he was saying.

"—Hahahaha! This is so funny! I get it now, I finally get it."

At this moment, Sirius was initially stunned by the scene, but she quickly recovered. After glancing at the unmoved and unfocused eyes of Wada beside her, she seemed to have thought of something and burst into laughter.

"Your Majesty! It seems you'll have no choice but to abdicate this time! You have no idea who your opponent is; you've chosen the wrong one!"

Sirius Symbol laughed heartily, a joyful and gratified smile spreading across her face. Gazing at Rudol Symbol, who seemed to sense something as he raced across the field, her eyes softened, and she murmured softly:

"Now you can finally relax, Your Majesty... no, Rudolf."

"It's not shameful to lose to such a combination. The new era should indeed be handed over to the next generation of young people."

……

Good Opera also finds it difficult to describe this feeling. This feeling is completely different from the feeling of another "Good Opera" taking over its body. It is more like a transmission of consciousness, as if another voice has appeared in Good Opera's mind, in a way that "suggests" Good Opera to do something.

She could, of course, refuse or disobey the other party's orders, but when the suggestion reached the mind of a good opera singer, it was very convincing, and she was willing to listen to it.

This feeling is something that only one person has ever experienced in good opera, and only one person can make good opera so convinced and obedient.

"Shall we fight together, Ryuji?" Good Opera murmured softly. At this moment, she knew she could not speak to Wada, but she could sense a connection between herself and Wada.

Good Opera doesn't know how to describe this feeling, but she knows that she just needs to listen. When Wada feels that everything can be entrusted to her, that's when she can go all out.

"Now, I'm not afraid of you anymore, Emperor."

"Let your oppressive aura and the raging winds of your dominance blow over my body. Today, I will also give you my full power as the overlord!"

"This is what I truly give it my all!"

Finally, Good Opera realized what it had been missing all along. It could run very fast, it could sprint recklessly, it could defeat those weaker racehorses, and it could beat opponents of similar strength by the slightest difference in their breath.

However, when faced with the strong, with those racehorse girls who are more powerful than herself, Good Opera is not so brave. She is still timid, fearful, and unable to maintain her dignity as the overlord.

What gave her the courage to face all of this was the support of only one person, enabling her to face all challenges without fear.

Maybe so. With him around, I won't run as fast. I'll restrain my pace and think about how we can win together while minimizing his effort, allowing him to focus on my own performance.

But he is the only one who deserves it.

As long as he is by my side, I will not be afraid, and I will not fear any challenge.

—Only when Ryuji is around can I be the true, complete, and at my peak "King of the End of the Century"!

"Now, this grand opera of the century—starring me, the Overlord of the End of the Century, and my Ryuji! Emperor, what a pity, you are the villain!"

"Now, let's begin the traditional storyline of a classic manga. I, the overlord, will pierce your chest with my sword and embrace my queen!"

At this moment, the "Emperor" aura that symbolized Rudolf's suppression of all the racehorse girls was forcibly torn open by Good Opera. In an instant, as Good Opera broke free from the Emperor's rule, everything around it seemed to open up, and its steps became much lighter.

"Varied--?"

Rudolf, who had sensed all of this, paused for a moment in surprise, but only for a moment. She then immediately took her steps and steadied herself.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lu Duo symbolically crossed the 1000-meter timer section first, and Akasaka Mitsuko immediately reported:

"1000 meters have passed! Emperor Rudolf's time for the 1000 meters is—58.4 seconds!"

"Incredible stamina and performance! Emperor Rudolph Symbol, upon his long-awaited return to the track, has chosen a tactic no less impressive than that of a top-class runner, and matched it with his strength! Truly worthy of being called Emperor Rudolph Symbol!"

"Oh! Good opera is catching up immediately! She's the second to cross the 1000 meters, and her time is 59.1 seconds! Less than a second behind Emperor Rudolf!"

"As expected of the 'Overlord'! Even though he was temporarily at a disadvantage in his first encounter with Rudol, he quickly adjusted his state and unleashed speed and strength no less than that of the Emperor!"

No, Rudolph isn't good at escaping tactics. Although the 2500-meter Arima Kinen is her forte, she chose to lead because she was confident that her "momentum" and "territory" could suppress every female racehorse, making them unable to compete with her.

Meanwhile, the third person to break through the 1000-meter air tank had already noticed something amiss with Lu Duo Symbol. She knew very well that Lu Duo Symbol's greatest weapon was her masterful suppression of aura. As the "Emperor," her title was not given lightly.

Besides her outstanding strength, Rudolphine, who has truly been pushed to the top of Japanese racehorse girls, makes any racehorse girl who competes with her feel extremely pressured. Racehorse girls who cannot break through will directly lose their fighting spirit. Even someone like Chiaki, when competing with Rudolphine, will have their strength affected.

At the same time, and even in later eras, few racehorses could rival Rudolf, which symbolized the "Emperor" of that era who dominated the racetrack. Therefore, the more this aura settled in, the stronger it became, and the more irresistible it became.

But now, this conclusion seems to have been broken; for the first time in history, the emperor's domain has failed.

But the pace of good opera is getting faster and faster, and more and more relaxed—at this moment, I gradually realized that today's Arima Memorial might really become a scene of the century.

"It seems... we really should step down and hand over this era to the better racehorse girls."

At this moment, Qi Cao, who had completely understood everything, showed no jealousy on her face; instead, she was filled with relief and ease.

The result of this race is no longer important to her. She now knows that this era can be confidently handed over to a new generation of excellent racehorse girls.

Chapter 212: Wada's Accurate Judgment Regarding Good Opera

"Rudolf symbolizes maintaining the lead, with Good Opera close behind! The gap between the two horses and the following horses is widening. The second turn has been passed, and all the horses are heading towards the third turn."

From Hetian's perspective, the emotions of Good Opera have completely stabilized. She has rediscovered her rhythm and is steadily closing the gap with Rudol's symbol. Although the progress is somewhat slow, it is indeed closing the gap.

Rudolphin Symbol was a bit too arrogant. She wanted to show her rule as "Emperor". So she raced against these new generation of racehorse girls. Although she said she was going to run first, she was actually running a runaway horse tactic. As a runaway horse, Rudolphin Symbol's physical exhaustion quickly became apparent, and she showed some fatigue in her legs.

Now, the difference between a good opera and the symbolism of Rudolf is about two horse lengths, and this difference is constantly narrowing.

Should we try to overtake them now? This thought popped into Wada's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

We've only just passed the second bend, and the best time for a good operatic finale is at the third bend! Arima Kinen is also one of the best long-distance races for a good operatic, so all I need to do is conserve my energy and maintain my own pace while making sure I don't fall too far behind Rudolf.

—That was what Wada originally thought, but at this moment, the symbol of Rudo in front of Wada suddenly made a move that surprised Wada.

"Rudolphin is accelerating! Rudolphin is accelerating!! It started accelerating in the mid-game! It's pulling away from Good Opera and all the other racehorses!"

……

"The Emperor has accelerated! Accelerated at an astonishing speed in the mid-game! She has widened the gap between herself and the best opera! Twice she has returned to the distance of two horse lengths!"

"Aren't you afraid of my imposing presence...? That's really unexpected."

At this moment, Ludo, now accelerated, raced ahead of the track, with an unobstructed view of the scenery before her, and the third bend was soon in sight.

Rudolf knew that she had overestimated herself this time, choosing a tactic that wasn't her strongest suit. She also never expected that her area of ​​expertise, which had always been able to suppress racehorse girls, would one day become ineffective, which was tantamount to abolishing her most powerful move.

Even so, Rudolf Symbol never intended to relinquish her position. She said she was there to fight for good opera with all her might, so even if her strongest area failed, she would not give up.

She didn't become "Emperor" just because of her aura and domain. Her tactics and strength are something that no racehorse girl can surpass!

"The explosive power of the final note in a good opera is astonishing, and even I have to temporarily avoid its edge. But there are limits to the final note, even for a good opera."

"Making a greater distance like this, thus preventing her from fully utilizing her final movement, is the tactic that a good opera singer fears most in her final movement!"

After confirming her tactical changes, Rudol quickly stabilized her mindset. She had already ignored the other racehorses in this race, and was now simply relying on her "momentum" to keep herself in a certain state.

"Now—you all, witness the Emperor's divine might!"

Rudolf's symbolic eyes suddenly sharpened, and he charged forward! In an instant, he widened the gap between himself and the opera, as well as the gap between himself and the other racehorse maidens.

"They've accelerated in the middle game, so should we catch up now, Ryūji?"

Good Opera was also taken aback by Rudolf's symbolic strategy, but she also knew that it was a helpless move by Rudolf. Under such circumstances, the emperor had only so many cards to play and could only resort to this desperate measure to deal with Good Opera's final performance.

Good Opera feels she can catch up now, but catching up now might consume too much of her energy. When she reaches the last 50 meters of the straightaway, she probably won't have the energy for a second sprint. Just maintaining her speed will be enough.

But whether the emperor had the stamina... Good Opera didn't know either, so this time, Good Opera left the judgment to Ryuji Wada.

"So, should we chase after them, Ryuji?"

……

"Rudolf symbolizes acceleration, but good opera hasn't accelerated! It hasn't accelerated! But the pace of good opera is picking up! Is it ready for a sprint?"

Should he push forward? Faced with this choice, Wada suddenly recalled his two major mistakes in the Japanese Derby and the Chrysanthemum Festival: once he accelerated too early, and once he accelerated too late, both of which led to the complete loss of victory.

Facing this Arima Commemorative, the former Good Opera missed the championship due to insufficient rest and lack of stamina caused by participating in consecutive competitions. But now, Good Opera has plenty of rest, and there is no particular competition between Zhou and Grasshopper. Instead, there is the stronger Rudolf Symbol, and the format is different again.

So, should we trust good opera or trust our own judgment?

"—Now is not the time to accelerate, not yet."

Just a little bit more, just a little bit more.

Ryuji Wada repeatedly reminded himself not to be nervous, taking deep breaths as he stared intently at the direction of the symbol of Rudol. He was waiting, waiting for an opportunity.

"It's over! Rudolf symbolizes that the third bend has passed! Great opera is now about to embark on its third bend as well. Can great opera now surpass what it has already done?!"

"Now!" x2
