What is the ultimate mystery of the universe? What is the essence of life? What are Aeons? What are Paths?
Countless questions lingered and wandered in Ratio's mind, countless formulas and theorems emerged at the same time, building into a tower of wisdom, ultimately pointing to one final answer.
"There is only one answer!"
Ratio shouted loudly, casually pulling out a piece of chalk. Through the thinking that just pierced the universe, she successfully drew energy from the imaginary space. Now, all the energy was accumulated in this small piece of chalk!
This was Ratio's special ability: Thinking of the Mediocre!
Ratio could draw power through thinking; the more she thought, the more she drew, and attach a "failing" negative status to any object!
Enemies in the "failing" state would have their intelligence reduced to one-tenth of the original!
"Eat this strike!"
Ratio threw the chalk forcefully. In an instant, the flying car she was in advanced a large distance due to the change in momentum. The chalk pierced through space and landed harshly between Clockie's Son and Acheron!
Boom!
A dazzling explosion lit up instantly, and the flying cars where the two were also successfully launched in this explosion.
And Clockie's Son, Capitalist Bird, Acheron, and Duke Inferno at the center of the explosion, as the feeling of weightlessness came, their facial expressions began to visibly stagnate, even starting to drool.
Obviously, they all got hit by the failing effect.
"Simply two teams of people."
Ratio lightly dusted her hands. The people in these two cars got hit by her failing effect; for the next period, they probably couldn't even drive, let alone compete with them.
The victory of this race must belong to her and Aventurine!
"Chirp chirp?"
Capitalist Bird seemed to have its intelligence directly erased, chirping twice like an ordinary little bird, then puzzledly pawed at the steering wheel—
Screech—Bang!
With this touch from Capitalist Bird, the flying car it was in immediately collided with Ratio's, severely affecting both sides' speeds.
While the Trailblazer group steadily advanced.
"Pure beauty's Idrila above, Aba Aba, Aba Aba, my master you Aba Aba Aba..."
On the other side, Duke Inferno had a dazed face (though nothing could be seen on his flame sheep head face), his speech was not smooth, only some keywords related to core code remained.
Clearly in an infant state.
"Aba? Aba ba..."
Acheron's state was also not good. She dazedly looked at the two collided flying cars ahead, suddenly smiling: "Hehe, hehehe..."
While laughing, she reached out and gripped, and in an instant, several grenades appeared in her hand.
Due to the degradation of intelligence, her cognition of "thunder" had collapsed, but this instead gave her power a new way of use.
"Drink up—"
Acheron threw forward forcefully, but the grenades bounced off the flying car shell and fell onto Capitalist Bird's car.
Capitalist Bird & Clockie's Son: "Aba Aba?"
Boom—
The two, along with the car and people, flew into the sky, flying car parts scattered everywhere, and soon they were out of sight.
Probably dead.
"Aba? Didn't throw it in?" Acheron murmured to herself, "Oh... I get it, it must be not fast enough!"
Acheron formed hand seals, her whole body as if wrapped in electric light: "Watch me, Three Thousand Thunder Movement!"
Sizzle—
Duang!
Acheron's flying car harshly crashed into Ratio's, both sides entangled in a wrestling phase again. Seeing this scene, Ratio's face darkened: What is all this?!
Her always unbeatable move actually suffered a loss here. As expected of the elites from other forces!
It seems the Annihilation Gang isn't all fools, idiots, and morons!
"Hmph, but do you think you can counter me like this?" Ratio sneered, casually scooping up Aventurine who was sleeping in the driver's seat: "It's your turn to perform!"
She had long known that Aventurine would sleep while driving, so she had installed an autopilot system early on. Aventurine sitting in the driver's seat was simply just placing his hand on the steering wheel.
Aventurine: "...Ah? What happened? What are we doing now? What's going on?"
Ratio: "Quick! Use your innate skill!"
Aventurine lagged for two seconds, then "oh"ed.
"Uh... innate skill, um... oh right! Feel the weight of misfortune!"
As Aventurine's words fell, everyone present, even including the high-dimensional beings in front of the screen, felt a suffocating sensation: as if something was wrapped around the neck of their fate!
Stelle, who had been watching the show from ahead, muttered softly: "What, I thought it would be like before, pinching the cornerstone to transform. Just saying a line, what's the point?"
Boom—
Just as the words fell, she saw Acheron's flying car suddenly twist its head without warning, heavily crashing into the guardrail beside the track.
Hm?!
Stelle was stunned. What just happened? Aventurine counter-killed Acheron? How could she have such a dream?
—"Little gray hair! What are you looking at? You're driving!"
While Stelle was still puzzled, Sparkle's anxious voice sounded, accompanied by a scream: "We're going to crash!"
Stelle: "Hm...?"
Stelle turned back, just in time for the flying car to crash into the guardrail in the previous second...
Duang!
In an instant, Stelle knew what "weightlessness" felt like.
"Stelle (Stelle)!"
Seeing this scene, March 7th and Firefly exclaimed in unison, but since March 7th was in the driver's seat, only Firefly could free her hand. She took out the armor summoner and lightly shouted: "SAM, transform!"
Click click click—
Firefly's body manifested a chest plate, and from behind the chest plate extended two mechanical claws, precisely grabbing Stelle's flying car, dragging it along.
Crunch!
Just as Firefly had breathed a sigh of relief, she heard a crisp metal breaking sound. Turning back, March 7th was holding a broken steering wheel.
Firefly's mouth twitched fiercely: "What are you doing?"
However, March 7th seemed even more puzzled than her: "This, I don't know either? The steering wheel suddenly broke!"
"Ha? Are you joking with me?"
On the other side, Welt and Himeko also encountered similar problems.
"Welt, I don't know why, the brakes suddenly failed... Oh no, the air conditioning system also failed!"
"..."
This was Aventurine's special ability: The Weight of Misfortune.
Because Aventurine is a very unlucky person.
He lost both parents from a young age, and after growing up, he lost his most beloved sister.
He was sold as a slave, his own value not even comparable to a burger in a fast-food restaurant.
He was even unlucky to the point where he couldn't even die, only able to feel pain in day after day of torment.
This was also the main reason for Aventurine's confusion and nihility.
Over time, Aventurine gradually mastered his own misfortune ability and developed this skill.
Anyone who has had contact with Aventurine will inevitably fall into misfortune.
