Uma Musume, do I have to tell you that I know how to use the Santa Hat special move?

To be straight...

The girl with the pointed witch hat on her head suddenly stepped deeply into the grass with her left foot, and at the same time pushed her right foot straight back, holding her breath and staring at the figure in front of her.

Neck, chest, palms, arms, shoulders, abdomen, hips, legs, ankles, feet, every inch of joints are connected together, and muscles are accumulated layer by layer throughout the body...

This was the most confident running posture that Dong Shang Bian Jie had adopted since she was a child, and it was also the first running method she taught to Stardust Illusion.

She was much weaker than the Stardust Illusion at the moment, and Dongshang Reform certainly would not turn a blind eye to this, but this did not mean that she had no chance of success...

At this moment, it seemed as if time had completely stopped. Dongshang Transformation remained ready to take the next step.

If we use numbers as an analogy, the highest combat power I can exert when using my domain is about 100.

In contrast, the East China Sea Emperor, who was able to completely defeat himself who had already opened his domain at the Gaoyue Award and even left him several levels behind, must have a combat power of at least 400.

As for the Emperor of the East China Sea, there was a terrifying gap of 11 horse lengths in one breath. There was no doubt that there was a gap in the combat power of Gao Yueshang's last Stardust Illusion, which was at least over 1600.

The huge difference during the Tokyo Mile made this combat power double again to 3200. In addition, Stardust Illusion's greatest strength is its continuous evolution during the competition. To be on the safe side... it is not an exaggeration to say that Stardust Illusion's potential combat power is 10000.

That is to say, even if there are 100 of us working together, it is impossible to defeat her. This is the cruelest reality.

However, it is this impossibility that gives me, the magical girl Sweepy, a glimmer of hope for victory!

Refuse to acknowledge reality, turn the impossible into the possible, and grasp the only miracle.

"This is... magic!!!"

Facing the heavy rain, stepping on the muddy grass, shouting out the throbbing in my heart with my whole body and soul——

There was a snap.

A stream of purple light that rejected reality appeared on the racecourse.

Dong Shang transformed his whole body into a bowstring and arrow, and his body, stretched to the limit, disappeared instantly!

As if it was magic that did not exist in the real world, this momentum propped up the entire arena, supporting the girl as she sprinted straight towards the stardust illusion in the front!

Even if his combat power was only 100, his neck, chest, palms, arms, shoulders, abdomen, hips, legs, ankles, feet... a total of 10 force-generating joints were integrated by him, which meant -

Even if it is 100, it can be multiplied by 10 to the 2th power under these 10-fold explosions.

"My combat power is now 102400. Sweepy wins!!!"

Chapter 288 (plus 40) (5k) Here it comes, my territory is here!

"What kind of combat power...?"

The Sky Palace looked at the Dongshang Reform that was bursting forward in astonishment, and even forgot to think for a moment.

But she immediately cheered herself up and observed the battle carefully.

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

She had indeed expected that the Dongshang Reform would break out here. After all, the Sky Palace had collected enough information from her in advance for analysis.

Just now, while running, he intentionally or unintentionally used his approaching style to stimulate the little witch in front of him, forcing her to become anxious involuntarily.

She also knew very well that she didn't need to finish the third bend completely before the race would enter its final stage.

There is no need to think too much by then, because Stardust Illusion will also unleash all his strength, which is more than two orders of magnitude lower than his own, and there is no way he can match it head-on.

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

“A chance to win.”

Training day and night, diligently collecting everyone's intelligence, and carefully analyzing all possible situations in the entire game with intelligent AI...

At this point, the preparations made by the Sky Shrine are definitely no less than those of any other horse girl.

Although the schedule at this moment was full of problems, it still did not deviate from any of the many scenarios she predicted, which meant that the next part was the most important part for the Sky Palace.

The dawn of victory has already dawned before me, and there is no need to hesitate any longer...

While considering, the Goddess in the Sky narrowed her eyes slightly, a faint golden light leaked out from her eyes, and the ears on the top of her head trembled and swayed slightly, unconsciously collecting all the sounds on the field.

[The golden skill, Knowing Destiny, has been activated. ]

The entire stadium appeared in her mind like a 3D composition.

(The East Business Transformation has already started fighting with the Stardust Illusion ahead, so I’m afraid it won’t be defeated instantly.)

(Three people at the back were already beginning to show signs of fatigue, but the remaining runners were still strong, presumably because they had accumulated a lot of energy in the early stages to cope with the final sprint that was to come…)

Countless data poured into the Sky Palace's mind, helping her to perfect and solidify the virtual model in her mind step by step.

In just a moment, the Sky Palace had deduced dozens of different possible futures in the virtual model of the competition.

But there was no possibility that she could win the game.

In fact, this level of data analysis had been done many times by the Sky Palace before the game. With the assistance of artificial intelligence and her perfect brain, although the deduction of the game was not always accurate, it was still possible to achieve comprehensive calculations after winning by quantity.

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

No matter what conditions and responses were substituted, once the model of the Stardust Illusion was put into the simulation, her Sky Palace would have no chance of winning.

but……

That's all.

The Sky Palace has also seen many rigid theoretical runners who regard their theories as truth and are constantly defeated because of their blind self-confidence.

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

Give up thinking when you see no possibility of victory?

That's something a second-rate horse girl would do, not a compromise a runner who truly wants to win would make.

Don't stop thinking, even if you don't see any possibility...

(It’s exciting to think about challenging the stardust illusion that is so powerful that it completely collapses the virtual model.)

Realizing the aerial temple in her heart, she chuckled, lowered her head, and tensed her muscles. This muddy and obstructed arena was as easy as walking on flat ground for her and was not an obstacle at all.

(You can look down on scientific computing if you want... I'll give you a taste of my logic, the stardust illusion!)

Here begins a perfectly calculated run with all your body and soul...

“Ahem——!”

However, at the moment when the girl leaned her body and prepared to sprint, she suddenly felt a sense of heat in her heart and even her breathing became disordered.

How can it be?

It's clearly raining heavily here, and it takes extra energy just to resist the rain from washing away body temperature. How can this kind of heat exist...!

However, reality did not operate according to her logic.

An invisible giant hand seemed to stretch out from the air and press down directly towards the aerial palace.

The terrifying pressure that made the runner tremble had filled the surroundings at some point, and even the air and rain mixed together to become extremely heavy and sticky. The rising temperature swept everything around in an instant.

It was as if... it was as if she was suddenly thrown into an alchemy furnace. It was a scorching hot sight that no one could endure, and it was the Samadhi True Fire that completely refined a person into an elixir!

"Varied--"

Surprised, the Sky Goddess shouted out unconsciously. She felt the malice close at hand.

But at this moment, she had clearly activated the observation skill called Knowing Destiny. No matter in front of her or behind her, the information of all the runners had been collected clearly. It was impossible for anyone to approach her silently like this.

What on earth is going on with this really fiery and manic feeling?!

Bang, bang, bang, bang!!!

Heavy footsteps came rapidly towards him from behind.

The runner, whose figure was completely hidden from the eyes of the man who knew his destiny, was chasing him from behind at a rapid speed.

The increasingly clear footsteps made the hearts of the Sky Palace beat rapidly...

As if completely discouraged after being surpassed, the horse racing ladies behind him began to wail one after another:

"Eh?! Oysters!"

"Oysters..."

"Oysters not oysters!"

Then, with the sound of surpassing coming one after another, a figure that seemed to be burning with blazing flames broke into the field of vision of the Aerial Palace from the inside of the runway.

She was a girl wearing a white decision suit, with a stern and focused expression. She had bent down and rushed to her side without her knowing. Her eyes looking up were empty but extremely clear, as if she was not thinking about anything extra at all.

Is... the Emperor of the East China Sea?!

One black and one white, two gloved hands were flying. The emperor's footsteps at this moment were rough and terrifying, and every step he took could make a deep depression on the ground.

What is this again?!

The Sky Palace widened its eyes and couldn't help but look at the Emperor of the East China Sea at this moment.

This kind of running style is definitely not what the Emperor of the East China Sea should master. This petite runner should be good at the technique called the Emperor's Dance Step.

That was a knee-lift running method that fully utilized the flexibility of her legs and feet, and was light, agile, high-frequency, and extremely sophisticated.

But now, with every step the Emperor of the East China Sea took, the terrifying power that burst out from his legs and feet made even the Sky Palace tremble with fear.

How could this be called a refined running style? Even the Stardust Illusion's run was not as violent as hers. It was just like...

It's like the power that bursts out from burning muscles.

[Inherent skill...Burn your muscles, activated.]

This way of running was a skill that belonged to someone else and that she would never be able to master.

The girl who had been studying the knowledge taught by Mejiro Ryan since before the Gaoyue Sho, unexpectedly accumulated experience bit by bit with her unimaginable supreme fighting spirit, and finally... replicated it in this arena.

The Emperor of the East China Sea, she has come out to kill!

(...)

Feeling the familiar breath coming from behind, Stardust Illusion opened his mouth slightly, letting the oncoming rain fall into his mouth, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

At this point, do you still want to catch up?

Stardust Illusion could clearly feel that Dongshang Reform was still doing its best to sprint towards itself.

Sweat and rain mixed together, his breathing roared like thunder, and every step he took was his legs and feet pushing back hard, unleashing a powerful thrust to push his body forward.

At this moment, Dong Shang Bianzhi's face was filled with only determination and desperation.

Even Stardust Illusion could not help but sigh when seeing it, it is worthy of being Sweepy, this magical power that can cause miracles is truly admirable.

However, a competition is never something that can be won by giving your best.

At this time, Dong Shang Bian's body was almost completely covered by the purple fighting spirit, which was so rich and pure that even his figure began to blur.

(Not enough...)

The air at the stadium, which was already a little chilly due to the heavy rain, lowered the temperature further.

(You can’t even enter the field today?)

That’s right. No matter how hard he pushed his strength to the limit, Dong Shang Bianzhi never stepped into the realm called domain again. Perhaps his fighting spirit was a little lacking?

Or was it that the heavy rain and muddy track affected the performance of skills?

Or is it that the physical fitness begins to suffer due to excessive physical exertion?

No matter what the reason, no one on the field would give her a second chance, not even Stardust Illusion, with whom she had such a close relationship...

At this moment, Stardust Illusion strode forward in an extremely heroic posture, and the soles of its feet with horseshoes slammed hard on the ground.

(Then there is no need to stay here any longer...)

The next second, thunder exploded!

Dongshang Reform, which was about to move forward, felt an unprecedented heavy pressure suddenly coming upon it at this moment. Its steps and waving hands were pulled tightly, and even its lungs were suffocated at this moment.

Pain, struggle... but no escape!
