But the effect was also very good. Under such frequency, the Emperor of the East Sea could not compare with his past self in terms of the frequency of his leg movements, the height of his steps, or even the small leaps he made with each step.
The current propulsion of the East Sea Emperor is enough to leave many female racehorses, even those at the top level, speechless. This propulsion and sharp gait are simply unfair!
Her ankles are incredibly flexible, as supple as two tiny springs! And now, these two tiny springs can bounce even further! How could the other racehorse girls not envy the East Sea Emperor's unique talent?
Therefore, after the emperor activated his simulated domain, although she had no time to pay attention, she had already left many racehorse girls behind. In fact, even the racehorse girls using the escape tactic were not as fast as the emperor of the East Sea at this moment!
"Oyster!!"
"Foul! That's a foul!"
"How could anyone possibly win against such a monster! It's practically cheating!"
One by one, the racehorses were unwillingly overtaken by the East Sea Emperor. The East Sea Emperor's powerful propulsion made them unable to even muster the will to challenge him. They knew very well that even if they tried their best, even if they used their last hind legs, they could not match the speed of the East Sea Emperor at this moment. The East Sea Emperor's current propulsion speed far exceeded their imagination.
This is the difference between truly gifted racehorse girls and them. Although this talent is indeed a double-edged sword, a double-edged sword may cut you, but if used well, who is not a fearsome weapon?
Don't forget, before this talent became a disadvantage for the emperor, it was also her most powerful weapon! How can a talent that only harms oneself be called a talent?
At this moment, the emperor was advancing rapidly and unstoppable, but she had not forgotten that the greatest threat to her was also closing in on her step by step...
Chapter 552: The Final 1000-meter Showdown
"The Emperor of the East Sea took the lead with his powerful advance! And after that, the golden ship charged in with unstoppable momentum!"
"The two racehorses are currently about four horse lengths apart—and that gap is widening! The Golden Ship is getting faster and faster! She's still chasing! Still chasing the Emperor of the East Sea!"
"Can the Golden Ship catch up?! Can she catch up with the Emperor of the East Sea?! We're almost at the 2000-meter mark! The Chrysanthemum Appreciation Race only has 1000 meters left! Can she catch up!?"
The East Sea Emperor used his "Emperor's Dance," which had been enhanced by pain, to increase his speed by a huge margin! He left all the racehorse girls far behind and charged forward, leading the way. For a moment, no racehorse girl could keep up with the East Sea Emperor's speed.
Even the Golden Ship couldn't keep up for now. The speed boost provided by her [Domain] wasn't enough for her to immediately catch up with the speed guaranteed by the East Sea Emperor. However, the Golden Ship was still steadily overtaking those racehorses that the East Sea Emperor had surpassed, breaking through unstoppably.
However, it is obvious to anyone with eyes that the Golden Ship is getting faster and faster. Although it seems that there is still a gap between it and the speed of the East Sea Emperor, this gap is gradually narrowing.
It's only a matter of time before the Golden Ship catches up with the Emperor of the East Sea. Everything depends on whether the remaining 1000 meters will be enough for the Golden Ship to close the gap with the Emperor.
"So powerful... Is this the sister of the Gold Master?"
Meanwhile, in the audience, the noblewoman's expression completely changed. She stared in astonishment at the white phantom on the rapidly advancing golden ship, which was far larger than any she had ever seen before. Her pupils trembled slightly, as if she found it hard to believe.
As a disciple of the Great Shock, the noblewoman possesses unparalleled talent in the [Domain]. Although she seems somewhat helpless against monsters of the level of the Golden Master, she still has enough confidence to compete with most other racehorse girls and is not afraid of any challenge from anyone.
However, ever since Arima's defeat, the noblewoman has had some doubts about her "Domain". She clearly remembers that when she used her "Domain" on both the Golden Master and Megure McQueen at the same time, her weakness strike was extremely effective on the Golden Master, but when it hit Megure McQueen, it was like a stone falling into a pool of water, creating some ripples but having no other effect.
Arima Kinen's experience made the noblewoman realize that her understanding of her "domain" seemed to be somewhat skewed. In the past, she participated in the Marsh Triple Crown, and the marsh racers she competed against were mostly marsh racers of the same era. Her physique was among the largest of the mares, so even without using her "domain," there were very few racers who could compete with her.
The Arima Commemoration gave the lady a great insight. She realized that there was a discrepancy between her own domain and her understanding of the field. Perhaps for some racehorse girls, her domain was not a big threat, and they might even experience the same feeling of being completely ignored as McQueen.
Therefore, during this period, the noblewoman was constantly competing with many racehorse girls, not only mares but also many stallion racehorse girls, especially those related to the Mejiro family. The noblewoman tried her hand at all of them.
To her surprise, she discovered that her domain was not very effective for the Meguro family's racehorse girls. Meguro Ryan even commented that it felt like "a small bird had hit me," which gave the noblewoman a huge mental shock.
Of course, the noblewoman also discovered that not every racehorse girl was like this. Many stallion racehorse girls also reacted very strongly to her "domain." This situation, where it sometimes worked and sometimes failed, made the noblewoman wonder if the stallion racehorse girls had some kind of resistance to her domain.
After all, Megumi McQueen could resist his domain because of his "aura," but Megumi Ryan didn't. Zenshin and Shining, these racehorse girls from the Megumi family, also didn't have auras, and they weren't all racehorse girls with goose feathers. So why was it ineffective against them?
The noblewoman, who had been pondering this question for a long time, finally found the answer after witnessing the imposing and fierce white phantom of the golden ship.
Perhaps... that's the reason? How could she forget that?
That's right, it has nothing to do with the strength of one's "aura". If the stronger the aura, the stronger the resistance to one's own domain, then the Golden Master's Arima Memorial event should have been able to suppress her.
It has nothing to do with strength, but rather with the collision volume revealed by the [aura]! The power of her [domain] is simply unable to shake the horse girls with their enormous aura phantoms. This is the power of the horse girls' true bodies, and it is precisely because she cannot shake the power of these horse girls' true bodies that her domain fails.
Thinking of this, the noblewoman was somewhat amused and exasperated. Looking at the golden ship speeding across the arena, she couldn't help but smile wryly and say:
"Is this what they call 'one thing subdues another'? This Golden Ship... clearly inferior to the Master in terms of raw strength, but if I were to encounter her in this competition, I might actually be suppressed by her?"
It's definitely not a good feeling to have your most powerful weapon countered by the opponent. Now, the number of Hall of Fame racer girls who least want to race against Golden Ship has suddenly increased to two, which shows that the power of Golden Ship's [Domain], which it considers a gatekeeper of the Hall of Fame, is truly a great counter to some racer girls.
So, Emperor of the East Sea... do you have any way to deal with such a golden ship?
The noblewoman's gaze unconsciously drifted to the East Sea Emperor, who was still in the lead. Her eyes narrowed slightly; she could sense that the East Sea Emperor seemed to be struggling to maintain his speed.
A distance of 3000 meters is indeed a bit too long for the East Sea Emperor. This is not her strongest area, but it is the arena where the Golden Ship excels.
So, Emperor of Miracles, can you win this match...? Let's wait and see.
……
"Ha ha……"
"Ugh, this is so painful—3000 meters, it really is a long one."
However, at this moment, for the East Sea Emperor, the last 1000 meters was indeed extremely difficult. Her imperial dance steps were now faster than before due to the stimulation of pain, but this also had a drawback, that is, her physical exertion was also greater than before. In long-distance races, the Emperor's endurance was barely enough, and now, running under such intense pain, and at a faster pace than before, the Emperor's physical strength was indeed depleting too quickly.
Now, there are only 1000 meters left to reach the finish line of the chrysanthemum viewing... but even if she can continue to endure the pain, her physical strength is not enough.
"Is this all the way...?"
At this moment, what worried the emperor most was the intense tension in her legs. She felt a sense of crisis similar to that before running the Arc de Triomphe in the opera. A strong warning from her own mental strength told her not to continue accelerating like this, otherwise, she feared that her legs, which had only just recovered from this period of pain, would soon be facing another bout of pain.
The next time the pain comes, it won't just be the pain of a broken bone; it will be a real broken bone.
Feeling the fierce pursuit from the golden ship behind him, even though the two women were still at least three horse lengths apart, the emperor sensed that he was probably powerless to turn the tide.
My physical strength has really reached its limit... and even if I continue running at the risk of breaking my leg, I might not be able to win.
But... am I really willing to give up like this?
The Emperor of the East Sea slightly raised his sweat-drenched face and looked at the finish line, which was still some distance away, as if those 1000 meters were an insurmountable chasm.
Continue forward? Or... give up?
However, when the Emperor of the East Sea realized this, she silently lowered her head again, and quietly made her decision.
"Emperor of the East Sea! Emperor of the East Sea's stamina remains undiminished! But the golden ship behind them has begun to catch up! The golden ship's speed is increasing! The distance between the two and the racehorse girl behind them is huge! It's about to become a huge gap!"
"The Chrysanthemum Festival is down to 1000 meters! The East Sea Emperor and the Golden Ship have pulled far ahead of the racehorse girls behind them! An unprecedented scene! Who will win the Chrysanthemum Festival? The East Sea Emperor or the Golden Ship?!"
Chapter 553: A Clash of Resolves, A Choice of Victory?
"The speed of the East Sea Emperor remains undiminished! But the golden ship is still closing in on the East Sea Emperor!"
"They've already pulled far ahead of the racehorses behind them! This is unprecedented in the Chrysanthemum Sho! Two exceptionally strong racehorses are simultaneously far ahead of all other racehorses of their generation! But who will emerge victorious?!"
"Is it the Emperor of the East Sea? Is it the Golden Ship? Who could it be?! The Golden Ship is getting closer and closer!"
"You must win, Your Majesty!"
In the audience, Lu Duo finally couldn't contain her excitement and trembling. She had already seen that the emperor was nearing his physical limit, but the emperor still did not give up and continued to run forward.
Rudolf believed the emperor was fully aware of the consequences and risks of continuing down this path, but the emperor had chosen this path.
This caused tears to well up in Rudolf's eyes. If possible, she wished she could take the emperor's place on the field and bear such immense pain herself, but all of this was just Rudolf's wishful thinking.
But that didn't stop her from cheering for the emperor's struggle; she was running with everything she had on her hands!
"If this continues—the emperor's legs won't be able to take it!"
At this moment, Megumi McQueen also realized the problem, but she was clearly more worried about the Emperor's safety. Mi Yu, who was standing beside her, also realized this. The two women subconsciously looked at Jin Lang beside them and immediately spoke up:
"Trainer, think of a way to stop the Empress! If this continues, she—"
"—Now, no one can stop the Emperor, McQueen, Rice Bath."
However, Inamami, who always prioritizes the safety of racehorse girls, was now staring at the Emperor on the track with slightly trembling eyes, and spoke in an unexpectedly calm tone:
"We cannot stop the emperor's steps; this is her own choice."
How to stop it? If it were Jinlang riding, he could pull the Emperor back and stop it from galloping away like that. But if the situation is like this, would Jinlang, as the rider, choose to fight for it or hand over the championship to someone else?
If it were up to Jin Lang, he would definitely choose to go all out – no matter which rider chooses, they would make the same judgment as Jin Lang. At this point, if you don't give it your all and give up the championship, who would be willing to do that?
This is also the emperor's current thought. She has chosen to give it her all, to see if she can reach the finish line before she runs out of energy. Faced with this situation, no one can change the emperor's decision.
Thinking this, Jin Lang turned his gaze to the golden ship that was approaching the emperor step by step. At this moment, the golden ship was indeed giving it its all, but what Jin Lang hoped for most was that the golden ship could maintain its determination and not let the emperor overshadow it.
In this match, rather than expecting a breakthrough from the Emperor, it's more accurate to say that we're looking forward to seeing a breakthrough from the Gold Ship. Although the Gold Ship's direction for breakthrough is different from that of the Emperor, we still hope that the Gold Ship won't be intimidated by the Emperor's determination.
……
"emperor!!!!"
"The golden ship is catching up! The final straightaway sprint! The golden ship is catching up!"
The moment the Emperor and the Golden Ship stepped onto the final straightaway, the Golden Ship was already incredibly close to the Emperor. At such high speed, the roar of the Golden Ship could be heard by the Emperor of the East Sea. The two women were even closer together than the people waiting in line.
Upon hearing the roar of the golden ship, the emperor gritted her teeth once more, taking it as a challenge to herself, and responded to the golden ship with the same full force.
"Don't get in my way!!"
This time, the emperor roared and released his aura—a black phantom, which was not comparable in size to the phantom of the golden ship and was even much less clear, condensed on the emperor's body. However, although the phantom was not as large or clear as the phantom of the golden ship, it did not show the slightest fear.
As if she knew nothing of fear! This aura amplified the current East Sea Emperor, further increasing her already limit-bound speed.
Although it can only last for a short time, it is more than enough!
"Unbelievable! The East Sea Emperor has accelerated again! Accelerated once more! But the Golden Ship is also in hot pursuit! The two racehorse girls are locked in a tight chase! The gap is still narrowing!"
"Can the Golden Ship catch up?! Can the Emperor of the East Sea win?! There are less than 100 meters left!"
"Roar!!" x2
Whether it was the limit, anger, or simply a joyful roar, it came from the voices of the Golden Ship and the Emperor of the East Sea. One chased after the enemy without regard for anything, while the other charged forward like a madman. For a moment, the two women threw their fear and worries to the back of their minds, only caring about the outcome of the battle in front of them!
That finish line, so close yet so far, is their final sprint! Victory is within reach! How can they give up like this?
The Emperor of the East Sea: "I must win! This is the destiny I must challenge! I will change my destiny! Even if I can't be an undefeated triple crown racehorse girl, I will surpass my limits! This is my only chance!"
Golden Ship: "This is the closest I've ever come to the Hall of Fame! If I fail this time, I'll never have a chance to touch that realm again! This is my only chance to get this close!"
"Therefore! I absolutely cannot lose!" x2
With the same idea and the same unwillingness to give up, the Golden Ship and the Emperor of the East Sea were almost side by side as they took their final step toward the finish line!
At this moment, the two women's bodies were almost completely parallel. Whoever took this final step first would determine who would be the final winner of the competition.
In that instant, time seemed to stand still. The golden ship and the emperor's ferocious expressions remained on their faces, and the audience in the stands were still cheering for the two women. Everyone's expressions froze at that moment.
But what followed was a vortex-like sensation. At that moment, Jin Lang felt his vision blur, and when he opened his eyes again, everything before him had changed once more.
He returned to that sky, and before him stood Goddess Goldof, one of the three goddesses, gazing at him with a smile.
