shio he could manipulate the storm
attacking his opponents while
maintaining his speed thus ensuring that
neither activity hindered the other or
if the opponents truly had a method to
surpass him in speed he could simply use
the the gaale to blow them back yet
peculiarly gwin neither attacked nor
made an appearance Sho had no time to
ponder further as long as he returned no
matter what gwin had prepared it would
already be too late a round trip of less
than 30 seconds left Shi bewildered as
to how he could possibly lose in such a
brief span even if they wish to prepare
something on Route it would be too late
whoosh with another gust of wind shio
had already made a round trip arriving
at the final checkpoint it was over
effortlessly as Sho spoke preparing to
land a multitude of chains suddenly
erupted from his shadow crack crack in
an instant these chains and snared his
limbs pinning him in place sh's pupils
dilated but these chains were not
insurmountable he merely had to do ey
why for reasons unknown shun's movements
abruptly slowed to an agonizing crawl
his voice his actions each moment
stretched out an excruciating slowness
a wave of black mist gradually enveloped
his body ultimately manifesting a
smiling Visage at top his head that was
dot a curse the chains held shio in
place the sluggish curse making it feel
as though he were attempting to break
free from the chains at a snail's pace
just then a mass of black energy emerged
from Shunk Shadow you could it be gwin
grinned widely effortlessly gliding past
Shunk form to the Finish Line I am quite
satisfied with this ride next sh tore
the chains apart and broke the curse his
eyes blazing as he glared at gwin you
were hiding in my shadow all along no
even if I wish to hide within your
Shadow there would be no time you could
never hope to outrun me furthermore if
you were within my shadow why could I
not sense you why could I not feel your
presence as shio grew increasingly
agitated gwin slowly removed his mask
revealing a head that resembled a wisp
of smoke his head flickered with two
glowing Crimson eyes as the wind stirred
around shio gwin's Smoky form was
carried along could smoke and Mist truly
move of course they would move when
pushed by the wind your wind is far too
strong that sh's pupils constricted so
if I remain still you will naturally
come to a halt gwin dawned his mask once
more I told you I hope that by the end
of this speed contest you will still be
able to smile Avalon once stated that he
could not replicate the wind God and no
one else could either hence if the wind
God could not be imitated let the wind
God race against himself this is the
perfect replication of the wind God's
speed however it was also thanks to
gwin's insubstantial smoke-like form
that the plan unfolded so seamlessly GOI
honest gwin's lack of presence was so
profound that even uzo subconsciously
forgot he was there lurking in the
shadow the wind God sh lowered his head
I do lost clap clap clap the sun god are
slowly applauded marvelous it appears
that your advancement to this stage is
indeed not without reason now then who
among you wishes to take the second
round the remaining seven of the nine
pillar Gods excluding AR and shio
displayed eager anticipation at this
moment nut you shall go first with that
a female deity among the nine pillar
Gods stepped forward she bore cascading
long black hair seemingly intertwined
with the winds causing her Tresses to
flutter clad in r stealing attire
adorned with golden ornaments her upper
body was cloaked in a garment that
shimmered like the stars while her lower
half was draped in a sheer black gown
that flickered like the night sky the
goddess of the skynut nut raised her
chin with a smile shall I take my turn
well then you have lost your opportunity
I do not wish to put you in a difficult
