Author's Note: Unedited Chapter ------------ Within the light barrier that encircled the location, a silver streak suddenly cut through a forest area. Thrrrriihhhhhh~ Multiple black streaks followed about a second later, chasing after the silver streak. The silver streak soon arrived before the tallest tree within the forest area and sped across it. In less than a second, the streak arrived at the top of this seven thousand feet tall tree. "Phew~ It's getting tasking again, I need to shake them off," The figure with silver and pink hair as well as two short horns on her forehead voiced. "They're coming," Shs barely had a moment of rest as she spotted the approach of the black streaks once more. Fwwwhiiiii~ Just like her, they scaled across the tree in a jiffy. However, before they arrived at the top, she jumped off. Thrrihhh~ As her body traveled across the air, the Varlins were only just arriving at the top of the tree. "I may not be able to attack them directly but I can do this..." She muttered while her entire figure gave off a silver glow. Dhoooomm! An outburst of silver colored energy spread forth from her figure the instant she landed on another tree. Fwwhii! Fwwhii! Fwwhii! Fwwhii! Trees began to topple one after the other, including the one she had just landed upon. She had to leap off once again. The instant, she landed on the ground which currently had visibility issues due to the dust she stirred from her initial action, she turned towards the west and sped away. Thwwoosshhh~ As she sped away, her facial muscles squirmed a bit, making it look like her face would fall off but a moment later, it went back to normal. - In another part of the venue, Angy could be spotted running sideways on a sloppy mountain side. Her body was in a slanted position like the mountain as she sped across its sloppy surface with no issues. "That cave would have been a good hiding spot if there wasn't a portal right there," Angy muttered underneath her breath. No Varlins could be seen chasing her as she was moving at a speed that was more than twice theirs. Her feet were starting to cut lines into the mountain so she decided to descend so as not to split the entire mountain by mistake. "Oh well... this is still too easy," She muttered while speeding across a plainland. Fwwhiii~ Her figure blasted past another participant who was about to get caught by the Varlins. They instantly got attracted by her presence and turned around to give chase. However, they soon lost her due to speed and were unable decide on which direction to head in. ----- Time went by very quickly and soon only around five hours were left on the timer. < Planet Foheng Last Representative Disqualified > < Planet Draconet Last Representative Disqualified > < Planet Tahuhti Last Representative Disqualified > < Planet Rihverk Last Representative Disqualified > Disqualification nnouncements kept ringing out by the minute as more participants got disqualified. At this point only around a hundred participants were left. More than two thousand, eight hundred planets had been disqualified as well. There were barely any planets left with more than one representative. It got even worse after another fifteen minutes went by. "Now they are moving at a hundred and seventy miles per second," Gustav analysed from his spectating position. "That's just insane... I can barely follow their speeds anymore," Matida stated. "And there is still over three hours left... just how fast will they be moving by when the timer is less than an hour?" Glade looked agitated as she spoke. The only person besides Angy who was able to move at the current speed was Gustav but the group were worried that Angy might reach her speed limit before the timer counted down completely. Gustav on the other hand was more concerned about how many Varlins would be in there with them in the next hour. Currently there were about six thousand Varlins that had appeared from the portals according to Gustav's calculation. He felt that, the participants left would soon run out of space. By the time the Varlins filled everything, there wouldn't be anymore room for movement which would eventually lead to disqualification. 'They still aren't as quick as Angy's usual speed,' Gustav also took note of this. The Varlins had not reached Angy's normal speed yet despite how fast they were moving. Gustav calculated that with the current rate of disqualification, less than ten participants would be left in the next hour. ...and he wasn't wrong. << 02 : 51 : 27 >> It was going just as Gustav predicted, the sheer numbers of the Varlins was starting to become a problem as there was little room left. Angy could be spotted on the screen getting slower and slower as she tried to keep away from getting caught. Fwoosshh~ She soon stopped behind a giant rock and began panting heavily. "Fuck..." She muttered as her flesh began to squirm ljke there were worms underneath. A white foam like substance fell from the side of her face, revealing a different look. Gnashing her teeth, she quickly sped forward as a bunch of Varlins arrived at her location. Bam! One landed from the air at her initial location. Fwwhii~ Fwwhii~ As they bolted forward to make contact, she swerved repeated across the place. However, her figure suddenly glitches as she felt her speed getting sapped. Her left horn melted from her forehead as she tripped and tumbled across the ground suddenly. The instant she managed to get herself up she had already been surrounded by the Varlins... Minutes later, Phinx was teleported out of the venue. "You did well," Gustav praised as he passed an energy snack to Phinx. "*sigh* I could have tried to hold on longer," She muttered while receiving the snack. "You did your best, now the rest is up to Angy," Gustav added. Phinx had gone back to her original look after getting caught by the Varlins. She was already running out of energy. Gustav understood that this wss mainly due to the fact that Phinx had to use Angy abilities more to escape the Varlins who were multiplying and increasing at a rapid pace. Now only seven participants were left. Angy was still doing well in escaping the Varlins but they were becoming too many to count and her opponents were not weak as well. They were evading the Varlins pretty well too. Fwwhiii! Fwwhiii! "Oh? You're fast for an earthling," A participant with twenty seven wings voiced out. "What is that supposed to mean?" Angy questioned while sizing her up. The seven mini wings lined up across her feet to her calves happened to be quite eye-catching. "I'm saying your kind is usually slower," She voiced in reply. "I hope you can keep this same confident tone when you lose," Angy stated as they sped forward side by side. "Lose? You make me laugh earthling," The female participant who happened to be a Terocile chuckled before speeding further ahead. Fwwhwoooomm~ Her speed went up to one million, five hundred feet per second. Angy squinted her eyes before increasing her speed as well. Fwwwhooommsshh~ The land was getting split apart as these two sped side by side. Angy had caught up with her again. "Oh is it a race? Let me join! Let me.join!" Another participant with flaming limbs voiced as he approached from the left with an excited tone. "A Peracule? Looks like I need to show you lifeforms with lower speed, your place," The Terocile voiced as she increased her speed once more. Her face soon turned shocked as Angy and the other participant caught up with her in a couple of moments. One more soon joined their race as well as they sped across the vicinity of the sub challenge. Winds were soon stirred up as these four ran non stop increasing their speeds occasionally. Despite the size of the venue, they had run across it more than a hundred times in a couple of minutes << 00 : 25 : 55 >> At this point only three participants were left. Angy, Moroove and Vilkan. These three were Earth, Terocile and Peracule representatives. Due to their speed, no Varlin was able to approach them as they were currently moving at more than two million feet per second. They had created storm's from their speed which kept blowing the varlins away whenever they tried to approach the three. Gustav had to admit he didn't expect this, but soon they would have to break it off since only one of them was expected to win. "It's time for you two to lose!" Vilkan stated as he prepared to attack Angy and Moroove. "You have to catch us first fool!" Moroove stated and suddenly increased her speed by over a hundred thousand feet again. Moroove had suddenly leapt into the air at this point, ready to kick Angy in the face as she was right beside him. The instant Angy was kicked out of the circle, the Varlins would be able to get her and he would have one less competitor. However at this same momemt Angy activated an ability. Thhiiinnzzhhh~ Her left horn glowed a silver color that suddenly illuminated the environment. Vilkan who had leapt into the air, suddenly found himself moving in very slow motion.
