Chapter 67: The Race 1
Chapter 67: The Race 1
The group couldn't help but feel bewildered when encountering such a large group of participants.
"What the hell is going on here?" Finally, Emir, who couldn't deal with the awkward silence, couldn't help but express his thoughts.
But before anyone else could say something their question was answered by the distant voice.
"To all the teams who will be participating in the next race, please move to the start line."
"Are all these teams here to participate in the race?" Asked Emir again but the answer was already obvious.
The participants for this game arena were Morana, Samael, and Emily as all three of them still needed to participate in their second game.
When the trio arrived at the start line, they saw the host of this game arena, James.
Like all the previous hosts this one also had his uniqueness. James was a tall male with pale white skin and long blond hair. His eye color was not visible because of the shades he wore and he sat lazily on the comfy chair near the start line.
When he saw Morana and others he didn't even glance as he spoke.
"You are the last to arrive so you don't get to choose the car as all the others have been picked. So, just take whatever's left and drive it to the start line. The race starts in 3 minutes. If you're late it's none of my concern."
Morana didn't mind his way of dealing with things and motioned for Samael to go toward the last car.
The problem with this race was that people in this world don't have cars, so no one knew how to drive one, well except Morana.
At first glance, the car that was left for them was small and useless and could barely fit the three of them, but Morana couldn't be happier after all who better than her knew what this car could do.
Her previous world was a thousand times more advanced than this one. As the people there didn't have special powers like here they started developing technology to make their lives easier.
When Morana died humans had already explored part of the space even developed a few planets and made contact with being different from themselves forming The United Federation.
As that world's most renowned and feared inventor Morana has cooperated with different organizations and companies and this at a glance useless car was the fruit of one such cooperation.
Its name is C-17bb25. The car not only had military-grade weaponry but could also fly and travel through space in short distances. Its defense was strong enough to survive a couple of nuclear bombings, And most importantly it traveled 100 times faster than any car in her previous world.
At this point, Morana has already merged with Orion and she could clearly see this long-forgotten invention of hers.
She easily activated the car and motioned for the other two to get in.
The moment all the doors were closed Morana got in the mode and started giving the car commands.
"Activate manual control, fasten the seatbelts, and resize the sitting area."
'Ding' without much sound the inside of the car started moving as the inside was adjusted to Morana's preferences.
When they drove To the back of the other dozens of cars James had already started the countdown.
"3 2 1 Go!"
And at that moment exactly 24 cars started moving with all their speed, well at least all of them tried.
Okay, I admit right away 12 idiots crushed right into each other and very few managed to get past the 100 meters like literally only 7 cars were left in the race in a few minutes including Morana.
Few people managed to get the hang of driving quickly and didn't do bad, but they were no match for Morana.
Her only problem was a race against time. As her merge would eventually deactivate she didn't have much time before she would go blind once again, so she needed to finish the race as soon as possible.
Looking at her skillful driving both Emily and Samael looked at her with surprise and admiration written all over their faces.
Morana didn't have time to bother with them as she once again started giving different commands to the car.
"At my command, ready to go full speed." Said Morana as she activated one of the weapons and started shooting at the cars behind her.
As long as she gets rid of the competition even if she goes blind she can still win the race using the autopilot when needed.
The car could go at full speed for the of the race, and she could trust the autopilot for the last part but the rest she needed to do herself.
As she needed to concentrate on driving she handed the shooting part to Samael and sent his seat on top of the car.
It didn't take Samael to get a hang of using the weapons as he shot nonstop at the cars driving behind them but soon he was out of all the bullets, so this time Morana gave him grenades instead.
"Just aim and throw the grenade at them."
Samael looked skeptical at the small device in his hand but still did as Morana said and threw it at the red car right behind them.
'Booom'
The loud noise startled not only the other drivers but also the spectators, and even Samael couldn't hide his bewilderment.
The previously perfectly fine red car was now tattered to pieces as the injured passengers sat on the road while the car was caught on flames.
Contrary to others, Morana didn't even move her brow as she continued to advance forward in the midst of flames.
