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

Having reached the mid-game first, she is probably already planning a last-ditch escape move for the final battle, something that other players can probably foresee as well.

Thinking about it, Dong Shang unconsciously tilted his head slightly, wanting to be wary of the aerial palace behind him.

Needless to say, this guy spent most of the early stages behind me, probably saving a lot of energy for the upcoming battle.

(Shall we begin here? The magic of the competition...)

The successful escape of Stardust Illusion was already enough to give Dongshang Reform a headache, but the opponent in this competition was by no means just Stardust Illusion.

To complete Sweepy's ultimate magic, you must defeat everyone and claim the title of Champion.

To endure or to sprint – this is a very difficult choice, and a mistake could mean missing out on victory.

Going even further, conserving energy here means that even if they can't surpass Stardust Illusion in the end, they can still contend for second place...

What am I thinking?

Dongshang could hardly forgive himself for what he had just done.

As a witch and a racehorse girl, she actually had the absurd idea of ​​"competing for second place" just now.

How can it be?

How is that allowed?

Yada! All Yada!

As a racehorse girl galloping on this track, and as a magical girl Sweepy leading the stardust illusion into the racetrack.

Victory will always be merely a necessary ritual for magic!

Yes, there is no room for hesitation in what needs to be done now.

With a burning desire for victory, there was no need for any hesitation... How could I, who had vowed to become Saber's nemesis, lose my edge in front of her?

"……call."

To wrest control from Sab乪r and take the magic of the game into our own hands.

It must be straight...

The girl wearing the pointed hat of a shrine maiden suddenly stomped her left foot deep into the grass, while simultaneously kicking her right foot straight back, holding her breath and staring intently at the figure in front of her.

Neck, chest, palms, arms, shoulders, abdomen, hips, legs, ankles, feet—every joint is connected, and muscles accumulate layer upon layer throughout the body…

This is the most confident running posture that Dong Shang Bian Ge has had since childhood, and it is also the first running method she taught to Stardust Illusion.

She was currently much weaker than the Stardust Illusion, a fact that the Eastern Merchant Reforms certainly wouldn't ignore, but that didn't mean she had no chance of success...

In that instant, time seemed to stand still, and Dongshang Reform remained poised, contemplating how to take its next step.

If we were to use numbers as an analogy, the highest combat power I can unleash when I utilize this domain is probably 100.

In contrast, the East Sea Emperor, who was able to completely defeat him at the Satsuki Sho event after he had already activated his domain, and even leave him several steps behind, must have had a combat power of at least 400.

Above the Emperor of the East Sea, there was a terrifying gap of 11 horse lengths. Satsuki Shou's final Stardust Illusion's combat power undoubtedly created a gap, at least 1600 or more.

The huge difference in performance during the Tokyo Mile doubled this fighting power to 3200. In addition, Stardust Illusion's greatest strength is its ability to constantly evolve during races. To be on the safe side, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Stardust Illusion's potential fighting power is 10000.

In other words, even if 100 of them banded together, they couldn't defeat her; that's the cruelest reality.

But it was precisely this impossibility that gave Sweepy, the magical girl, a glimmer of hope for victory!

Refuse to acknowledge reality, turn the impossible into the possible, and seize that one and only miracle.

"This is... magic!!!"

Braving the torrential rain, treading on the muddy grass, I shouted out the surging emotions within my heart, letting out a powerful, heartfelt cry—

With a snap.

The purple glow that rejects reality manifests itself at the racetrack.

Transforming his entire body into a bowstring and arrow, Dong Shang's body, stretched to its limit, vanished from its spot in an instant!

Like magic that doesn't exist in the real world, this aura supported the entire arena, propelling the girl straight towards the stardust illusion at the front!

Even if one's combat power is only 100, the neck, chest, palms, arms, shoulders, abdomen, hips, legs, ankles, feet... a full 10 joints that generate power are integrated by oneself, which means—

Even 100 can be multiplied by 2 to the power of 10 under these 10 bursts.

"My combat power is now 102400, Sweepy has won!!!"

Chapter 288 (plus 40) (5k) Here it comes, my domain has arrived!

"What combat strength...?"

The celestial palace stared in astonishment at the sudden and rapid transformation of the Eastern Merchants, even forgetting to think for a moment.

However, she quickly rallied and began to carefully observe the battle.

As soon as the two began their chase, everyone had already covered the second straight and rushed into the third bend, which meant that there were only 1050m left in the race.

The fact that the Eastern Merchants Reform would erupt here was exactly what she expected, after all, the Sky Divine Palace had not only collected enough information about her in advance for analysis.

Just now, during the run, he intentionally or unintentionally used a close-range running style to provoke the little witch in front of him, forcing her to become involuntarily anxious.

She was also very clear that she didn't need to run the third corner completely before the race would enter its final stage.

Without a doubt, Stardust Illusion will unleash its full power, a power that is more than two orders of magnitude greater than its own, making it impossible to directly confront it.

There's no way to match them... but that doesn't mean there's no way to win.

"The chance to win."

They trained day and night, diligently gathered intelligence from everyone, and meticulously analyzed all possible scenarios throughout the match with the intelligent AI...

The preparations made by the Sky Shrine now are no less than those made by any of the racehorse girls.

Although the current situation of the competition is full of unexpected events, it has not deviated from any of the many scenarios she predicted, which means that the next part is the most important part for the Sky Palace.

The dawn of victory is already upon us; there's no need for further hesitation...

As she pondered, the Divine Palace in the Sky narrowed her eyes slightly, a faint golden light emanating from them. The ears on her head twitched and swayed slightly, unconsciously collecting all the sounds from the arena.

[The golden skill "Knowing One's Destiny" has been activated.]

The entire arena appeared in her mind like a 3D model.

(The Eastern Merchants' Reform has already begun its struggle with the Stardust Illusion, and it's unlikely they'll be defeated instantly.)

(Three runners at the back were already showing signs of fatigue, but the remaining runners still had plenty of energy, presumably because they had built up a lot of stamina in the early stages to prepare for the final sprint...)

Countless data flooded into the Sky Goddess's mind, helping her to gradually refine and solidify the virtual model in her heart.

In just a moment, the aerial shrine in the virtual model of the competition simulated dozens of different possible futures.

But there is no way she can win the match.

In fact, this level of data analysis had already been done many times before the competition. With the help of artificial intelligence and her perfect brain, although the predictions of the competition were not always accurate, it was still possible to achieve comprehensive calculations after winning by sheer volume.

However, the result of this calculation is... a loss.

Regardless of the conditions and responses, once the model of the Stardust Illusion is put into the simulation, her Sky Palace has no chance of victory.

but……

That's all there is to it.

The Sky Palace has also seen many rigid, theoretical runners who equate their own theories with truth and repeatedly fail due to blind confidence.

But she is different. She knows that data and calculations are only auxiliary tools. What truly determines victory or defeat is always the steps taken forward on the field.

Do we give up thinking just because we can't see a chance of victory?

That's something only second-rate racehorses would do, not a compromise a true runner aiming to win would make.

Never stop thinking, even if you see no possibility...

(The thought of taking on a Stardust illusion so powerful that it completely crashes even virtual models is kind of exciting.)

Realizing the divine palace in her heart, she chuckled and lowered her head, tensing all her muscles. This muddy and obstructive arena was like flat ground to her, not an obstacle at all.

(You can look down on scientific computing all you want... I'll show you my logic, Stardust Illusion!)

And so it begins, with complete focus and perfect calculation, a run...

"Cough, cough—!"

However, just as the girl leaned her body and prepared to sprint, a sudden heat surged through the air, causing her to lose her breathing.

How can it be?

This is a stadium where it's raining heavily. Just resisting the rain from taking away body heat requires extra effort, so how can this kind of heat exist...!

However, reality did not operate according to her logic.

It was as if an invisible hand reached out from mid-air and pressed down directly onto the aerial palace.

The terrifying pressure that made the runner tremble had filled the surroundings without anyone noticing. Even the air and rainwater mixed together, becoming incredibly heavy and viscous. The rising temperature instantly swept over everything around them.

It was as if... as if she had suddenly been thrown into a pill-refining furnace, where the scorching gaze was unbearable for anyone, and the Samadhi Fire that would completely refine a person into a pill!

"Varied--"

Surprised, the Sky Goddess unconsciously cried out, feeling the malice that was so close at hand.

But at this moment, she was clearly using the observation skill called "Knowing Fate". She had already collected information about all the runners, both in front of and behind her. There was no way anyone could approach her so silently.

What is causing this frenzied, burning sensation?!

Bang, bang bang bang!!!

Heavy footsteps rushed toward him from behind.

The runner, whose figure had completely disappeared from the eyes of the man who knew his destiny, came chasing after him at high speed from behind.

The increasingly clear footsteps made the heart of the Sky Palace pound rapidly in rhythm...

As if completely deflated after being overtaken, the female racehorses behind them began to wail one after another:

"Huh?! An oyster!"
