Silver Charm took the lead from the start, choosing the highly aggressive Great Escape strategy without hesitation.
Her getaway was as swift as a bolt of lightning, her silver silhouette resembled a meteor tearing through the air.
Relying on her powerful explosive force and unwavering will, she forcibly opened up a gap from the pack during the opening phase.
Running alone at the very front, she sought to wear down all her opponents with an absolute leading tempo.
Her gaze was sharp and her goal clear: To run the most perfect race at the maximum possible speed!
Touch Gold adopted the more stable and classic Pace Chaser strategy. She precisely secured the top spot in the forward group, biting closely onto Silver Charm's heels from a calculated distance.
This position allowed her to avoid the direct exhaustion caused by Silver Charm's frantic pace while remaining close enough to observe the situation, keeping the option to launch a lethal strike at the critical moment.
Her running form was fluid and efficient, like a lurking hunter.
Meanwhile, Myriad Dreams steadily executed her Late Surger tactic.
She remained hidden in the middle of the pack like a calm observer, the system in her mind running at high speed to calculate the stamina distribution, speed variations, and the optimal timing to overtake her two main rivals ahead.
She was in no hurry, patiently waiting for the right moment.
All three were giving it their all, holding nothing back!
While following the pack, Myriad Dreams had already quietly activated several sub-skills such as [Dirt Dexterity] and [Tempo Master], continuously optimizing her running efficiency and energy distribution.
The race reached its midpoint. They entered the fierce struggle of the final half!
At this very moment, as if linked by a telepathic connection, the three released their strongest power almost simultaneously— their Zones!
The silver radiance around Silver Charm surged violently as [Silver Radiance: True Trajectory] unfolded at full power.
It granted her the ultimate speed to pierce through illusions and maintain her true self, making her leading figure even faster.
Touch Gold refused to be outdone.
Her Zone carried a steady, heavy golden light that seemed to stabilize her own rhythm and resist external interference and pressure.
Her speed suddenly increased, locking onto Silver Charm with grim determination!
However, Myriad Dreams' use of her Zone this time caught everyone by surprise!
She did not use [A Dream of a Thousand Layers!] to create hallucinations, instead, she turned the power of her Zone inward...
[Zone Simulation: Activate]!
In an instant, the persistent and burning figure of Yaeno Muteki flashed through her mind— that fighting spirit that seemed ready to burn everything to surpass the limit.
In the next moment, a surge of aggressive and explosive Zone fluctuations, entirely different from Myriad Dreams' own cool temperament, perfectly overlapped with her own Zone!
Dual Zone Overlap!
In a split second, Myriad Dreams' speed received a terrifying secondary boost.
Her figure transformed into a blur of blue and red (blue representing herself, red simulating the characteristics of Muteki's Zone).
With an almost overbearing posture, she lunged out from the Late Surger position, instantly breaking through the obstruction of the pack ahead.
With jaw-dropping speed, she bore down directly on Silver Charm and Touch Gold!
"What?!"
Both Silver Charm and Touch Gold felt the sudden explosion of a powerful, distinct pressure from behind, and both were shocked.
But as top-tier racers, their astonishment lasted only a second, they immediately pushed their own Zones again, driving their speed to new heights!
The final 300 meters!
The ultimate showdown within the battle!
Myriad Dreams' eyes narrowed as all the power in her body was pushed to the limit!
[Power Conversion]!
Once again, she converted a portion of her explosive power into ultimate speed!
[Desperate Outburst]!
Aiming at the two powerful enemies running neck-and-neck ahead, she triggered the skill that turns the tide of fate!
BOOM!
A violent force, far exceeding any previous acceleration, erupted from her body!
The blue figure seemed to break through the speed barrier, carrying a momentum that would crush any obstacle.
Through the tiny gap between Silver Charm and Touch Gold, she overtook them in a flash that the naked eye could barely track!
"Impossible!" Silver Charm gritted her teeth, pushing [Silver Radiance: True Trajectory] to its absolute limit, the silver light nearly swallowing her whole.
"Don't even think about it!" Touch Gold roared, her golden Zone guarding her form as she exhausted her last ounce of strength.
But at this moment, under the triple buff of Dual Zone Overlap, Power Conversion, and Desperate Outburst, Myriad Dreams' speed had reached an inconceivable realm!
Her lead continued to widen in the final hundred meters, like a bolt of blue lightning tearing across the finish line of the Belmont Stakes!
"She's across! The champion is Myriad Dreams!!"
"A miraculous reversal! An unbelievable closing sprint! She did it! Myriad Dreams from Japan has successfully been crowned the Dirt Triple Crown winner!!"
After crossing the finish line, Myriad Dreams' speed gradually slowed.
Her chest heaved violently, and sweat poured off of her like rain.
She looked back at Silver Charm and Touch Gold, who had crossed the line just behind her.
The eyes of all three were filled with mutual respect, as well as the relief and satisfaction of having given their absolute all.
On this foreign soil, Myriad Dreams had finally won the highest glory in the most dominant fashion.
She looked toward the East, as if she could see the relieved smiles of Symboli Rudolf, Muteki, Seiun Sky... and everyone else who supported her.
The Dirt Triple Crown: Achieved!
