Uma Musume Girl, I'll tell you about my Santa Hat special move too?

However, in the next instant, all sounds vanished from Mi Yu's ears.

The running stardust illusion seemed to have transformed into a black hole, swallowing everything around it whole.

The splashing mud, the resounding thuds of footsteps, everyone's gaze, even the light and sound, the demonic aura swirling around the runners, the fighting spirit ignited by the stardust illusion…

Everything was completely absorbed.

what is that?

Miyu, who had only recently become involved in horse racing, couldn't understand the current situation.

But all she knew was a little bit.

Watching the fleeting illusion of stardust, Mi Yu felt incredibly fulfilled, as if it were... a sensation called happiness.

"This is it..."

Mi Yu stood there, staring at the figure, muttering to herself.

"By running myself... I will bring happiness to all the spectators!"

At this moment, Mi Yu finally understood why the Stardust Illusion was so dazzling, and also understood why she admired this runner.

Yes. She wants that too.

MiYu also wants to become a hero like Stardust Illusion, running on the track!

"So that's how it is... So that's how it is! Hahahaha!!!!"

Standing next to Mi Yu, Toyama Hikari looked at the intense competition and suddenly realized what was going on, covering her head and bursting into laughter.

"So, Stardust Illusion had already decided how to win back then, relying on instinct?"

"After using Phantom Step to force the opponent to block her, she used Shrinking Earth to rush towards the Great Outer Path. This was not something she was forced to decide."

"This girl's goal is right now—she wants to force Qingzhu to recall the past and fight her in a speed contest!"

As if in a conversation, the Bean Trainer standing on the other side also saw through the Stardust Illusion's purpose.

She was incredibly excited and instinctively shouted out her thoughts:

"How is that possible! Does Stardust Illusion intend to win against the boss using that method?!"

"But on the final corner, she didn't take the most efficient cornering approach, which put her at a disadvantage of being more than three horse lengths behind the leader..."

"In this situation, the leader definitely has the advantage!!!"

------------

Strength, endurance, competition experience, even tenacity and positional awareness.

Stardust Illusion knew that she was at a significant disadvantage in these aspects when it came to competing with Green Bamboo Memories.

This has nothing to do with talent or willpower; it is purely the powerful barrier formed by Qingzhu's more than five years of solid training.

In other words, Stardust Illusion was fully aware that it was different from the physical monster, Oguri Hat.

It would be quite difficult for her to defeat Qingzhu's memories in these aspects.

But there is one thing she is absolutely confident in.

What does Stardust Illusion need to do to breach the fortress called Green Bamboo Memories before it?

That was her dignity as a runner, the only strength that even Zhuo Fu and the powerful clans couldn't make her admit defeat.

The last foot!

Stardust Illusion's ultimate weapon at this moment is her final kick!

So what if your physical body is absolutely advantageous? So what if you had the advantage of being three horse-lengths long from the start?

If it's a competition of who comes last...

"I will absolutely not lose."

Time seemed to stand still the moment Stardust Illusion uttered those words, and in a daze, Stardust Illusion unconsciously took a step forward.

Forward, ever forward.

Qingzhu's memories seemed to be frozen in place.

In the Stardust Illusion's eyes, he simply walked forward at a leisurely pace... and then surpassed the other party!

Qingzhu recalled looking at the runner on the outside of her body, watching the other person gradually close the distance between her and her.

She had no time to think about anything else; she could only grit her teeth and desperately move her legs.

The approaching runner suddenly blurred the phantom of the reed feathers in her eyes.

A strong wind blew in her face, blinding Qingzhu's eyes as she recalled the past.

When she opened her eyes again, the little chestnut hat she had seen had vanished without a trace. There was only one runner who had overtaken her: Stardust Illusion!

(By the way, my current opponent is Stardust Illusion!)

Qingzhu, her whole body flushed and veins throbbing, recalled the events and gasped for breath.

Her face was already contorted with rage as she squeezed out the last bit of strength from her body.

But... it's impossible to catch up.

At this moment, Qingzhu realized that the figure in the photo had transcended another realm.

The stardust illusion... has already gone into a realm she has not yet set foot in!

Suddenly, Qingzhu's memories seemed to flash back to that mile championship race—

--no.

Just as the hallucination began to appear before her eyes, a thunderclap accompanied by a gust of wind swept everything away.

In Qingzhu's memory, the figure rushing ahead suddenly exploded, turning into a sky full of fluorescent light that surged into her eyes.

Before Qingzhu could even process what was happening, the Stardust Illusion, using the domain's effect, imprinted its current form deeply into the other's eyes—

(Since you enjoy looking at the phantoms of the past so much... then from now on, just keep gazing at me like that.)

In Qingzhu's memory, one could almost hear this faint whisper:

(Today, it's not Oguri Hat 2 that will defeat you... but me, Stardust Illusion!)

As the final competition concluded, the host's enthusiastic shouts echoed throughout the venue, announcing the final results of the competition:

[A miracle! This is simply a miracle! Stardust Illusion!!]

[Stardust Illusion did it!!! In the final straight, even with three horse lengths to go, she didn't knock this runner down prematurely! She proved with her strength that the overlord cannot be challenged!!!]

[To all the spectators here, let's give a cheer to this runner! Please allow me to introduce her name again:]

【Stars! Dust! Illusions!!!!】

Chapter 172 To Become Stronger

With the host's final announcement, the Yomiuri Miles race finally came to an end.

In the final straightaway, Stardust Illusion used her incredible last kick to completely turn the tide of the battle.

This runner, dubbed the "Second Generation Oguri Hat," has once again proven his strength.

Although today's match wasn't at the G1 level, the activation of her domain was definitely not a hoax.

The people in the stands cheered for the runners who had put on such a spectacular show.

"It was only a final straight stretch of less than 400 meters... Not only did they make up for the three-horse length gap they had voluntarily conceded, but they also exceeded Qingzhu's memory by a full horse length..."

The father, unable to contain himself, reached out and covered his face with his large hand, a mix of heartache and disbelief churning in his mind.

"This level of defeat... even Qingzhu's memories were defeated so thoroughly..."

As a die-hard fan who has supported Qingzhu Memories for five whole years, Daddy Fan certainly knows how powerful the final chapter of Qingzhu Memories is.

However, this powerful force was mercilessly and completely crushed by the Stardust Illusion.

This is truly a top-tier racehorse girl; only a top-tier racehorse girl could possess such extraordinary strength!

Despite being a runner in a desperate escape, after being completely cornered, he charged back with the ferocity of a horse chaser, defeating all his opponents...

Am I reading a sports manga?

How could a player of this caliber be... not just Oguri Hat, but the one designated as the second Oguri Hat, also be so overwhelmingly powerful!?

At this moment, even as a fan of Qingzhu Memories, he couldn't help but feel indignant for this runner.

Even though I've worked so hard for so long and never given up on my passion and optimism, yet...!

"Stardust Illusion has won! He's created another miracle!!!"

The man with the binoculars was completely oblivious to the strange behavior of the people around him. He clenched his fist and shouted excitedly:

"Truly worthy of being called the Overlord!"

Not far away, a figure wearing a black raincoat, with his face hidden under the hood, nodded slightly.

Beneath the hood, two horse-ear-like structures twitched a few times, seemingly looking rather happy.

She didn't speak, nor did she continue the enthusiastic celebration with the audience. Instead, she turned and walked straight out.

Beside her, another girl in a light purple raincoat quickly followed:

"What's wrong, Your Majesty? Won't you come and see the stardust together?"

Megumi McQueen, along with the Emperor of the East Sea beside her, specially took time today to quietly come to the competition venue to watch the match.

However, she had originally planned to visit the Stardust Illusion, but she discovered that the Emperor had no intention of stopping at all and walked directly out of the arena.

"I just saw Stardust, it looks like..."

"Stardust fainted, right?" The emperor turned his head, his expression somewhat serious.
