Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha Chapter 396

[Amkena Side Story Episode 16]

* * *

A few years ago, there was a game called Car O Rider.

Despite being a non-mainstream racing genre, the game once swept the Korean game world by creating a frenzy throughout Korea.

If you go to PC rooms, men and women of all ages are playing the game, and tournaments are held everywhere and pro gamers aiming for prize money appear.

However, did you say that it was a flower without a flower?

As time passed and more popular games appeared and the game itself began to deteriorate, the era of Car X Rider was already over.

Even so, there were a lot of dead people who had been rotting from the beginning of the game here and there in the workshop.

Former pro gamer.

Time Attack Mania.

Winner of various competitions.

The older the game gets, the thicker the concentration of dead people becomes, so newbies can’t easily catch up with the gap.

era of such a century.

A newbie appeared.

and after 6 months.

The beginner was called ‘the king of the end of the century’ and began to lead as a legend in the car O rider world.

Some users lamented.

Had that king appeared a few years earlier, it would have changed the record and history of the game.

At the end of the century, before the game completely declined, the King suddenly appeared and lit up the final flame of Car X Rider.

* * *

Ugh! Whoa!

Black Thunder runs on the track.

An unfriendly zig-zag course.

However, while repeating the exquisite acceleration and deceleration, a slight drift is added to it.

Thus Black Thunder exited the zig-zag course with little loss of speed.

If it were real, it would have been a difficult drive.

It’s because the law of inertia is working properly.

Maybe the tire melted before then and stopped.

But this place…

‘I said it’s a gap in space and time!’

It’s no longer the real world.

Just look at the crooked and bent buildings in front of your eyes.

Just look at the red and blue sky.

Where the laws of the real world don’t work.

A world far from the dimension of Earth.

If so…

‘It’s different from reality.’

Amkena closed and opened her eyes.

Another place that resembles reality.

I felt more comfortable thinking of it as a game.

And in the game she knew, she was called ‘The King of the End of the Century’ and was respected. I didn’t know the nickname until I folded it due to employment problems.

Awesome!

What a profit!

Awesome profit!

3-speed drift without deceleration on a straight course.

The booster gauge on the instrument panel starts to fill up.

‘booster!’

Amkena pressed the red button next to the steering wheel.

Then a rocket engine slammed out of the back of the Black Thunder.

Eventually, the rocket engine fired blue flames towards the rear of the vehicle.

Awesome!

Drift continues even while bouncing with a booster.

A mysterious movement, as if drifting or rolling.

As soon as the booster time is over, the gauge is fully recharged exquisitely.

Therefore, Black Thunder continued to accelerate indefinitely.

‘It’s good that you trusted Mr. Yurnet.’

He had been warned in advance by Yurnet that this might happen after the hypnotic magic on Earth was broken.

In preparation for that time, Aaron and Yournet have taken some measures against Black Thunder.

It is to apply the driving method of the game she knew.

In reality, it would be impossible due to physical limitations, but it is possible in this distorted world.

That harmony was happening now.

Boaaaaang!

Fierce flames blazed from the rocket engines.

The worst track with a series of S-shaped corners right in front.

However, in the eyes of Amkenna, who has mastered all the tracks of Car X Rider, the road has already been drawn on how to travel there.

[What the hell!]

Niall exclaimed in bewilderment from the navigation system.

[What did you do? Why am I not catching up!]

“Be quiet! Because I am busy.”

[No?!]

Drift while turning 180 degrees in the long curved part of the first S-shaped corner.

At the same time, the booster breathes fire.

Black Thunder riding Amkena veered off course and bounced.

Originally, it would have been a cliffhanger.

However, due to the addition of boosters to the rotational power, Black Thunder does not fall.

Soar up several meters and thump!

Black Thunder entered the next S-shaped course.

Forced exit in the middle of the course and succeeded in entering the next course.

It was forced to create a shortcut.

[What are you doing! Let’s be fair!]

The high curvature of the continuous S-shaped course was the failure.

Because of the excessive curvature, the separation distance was shortened so that it could jump from course to course.

Geeeeeeeeee!

A swarm of fragments rushes from behind, but he doesn’t care at all.

This is because it is too late to catch up with Black Thunder, who runs ahead.

[If my sister acts mean like that, I have an idea!]

“…!”

Dozens of giant tentacles suddenly appeared and rose high.

Each tentacle is several tens of meters thick.

They all tried to hit the track in unison.

‘danger!’

In this track, the left and right intervals are very short.

This means that the space to avoid is limited.

‘Where should I avoid?’

A shadow began to fall across the track.

At this rate, he would become a rat cannon.

“Don’t stop!”

Sword light flashed in the air.

Patter!

Fragments of the severed tentacles followed, pouring down left and right.

“Has it come now!”

Sreung!

Lidigion, who had cut off countless bundles of tentacles at once, unleashed a second sword strike.

Other tentacles dangling from all over the track were also severed at once.

‘Paper crane?’

Amkena blinked.

What Lydigion is riding is a paper crane that looks like several meters in size.

The origami crane was flying in the sky at high speed.

“It is not good to procrastinate here! Hurry up!”

Ridigion in the sky looked down at Amkena and shouted.

Amkena, who came to her senses, continued driving.

Along with him, the silver attitude scattered sword light in all directions.

The tentacles that climbed the track again broke off all at once.

[Oh yeah. You mean it comes out like this? Then I won’t decline either?]

Kung!

The track, which had been intact in the distance, suddenly collapsed and disappeared.

The road itself is gone.

“…?”

no.

If there is no way to run, no matter how good your driving skills are, it is useless.

Black Thunder isn’t an airplane.

‘I told you not to stop.’

But Amkenna did not slow down.

I decided to trust them.

Not long before Black Thunder fell down a roadless cliff.

purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Things like white waves shot out in front of Black Thunder in a spiral.

It feels different from a swarm of debris that eats anything.

That’s…

‘a bird made of paper?’

Hundreds of billions of billions of paper birds unite into one stem and fly away.

They soon gathered in front of Black Thunder and began to form a silver path.

[Run, Master Amkena!]

Yurnet’s voice came from the navigation again.

The road never ends.

Amkena gripped the steering wheel firmly.

Thus, countless paper birds continued their way to the sky, connecting like Ojakgyo.

[Amkena, you need to speed up more!]

“How much?”

[Enough to overcome the gravity of this dimension!]

No matter how much I run, the end of the World Tower only gets farther away and I don’t think about getting closer.

If it’s like this, even if you drive tens of thousands of kilometers, you won’t be able to get out of here.

“It’s a sword that needs to be faster!”

[Can you do it?]

“I’ll try!”

What a profit!

Black Thunder started drifting randomly.

Several times more vigorous movement than before.

The booster gauge on the instrument panel filled up quickly.

Originally, Black Thunder had to be accelerated by exhausting this gauge, but the booster is no longer used.

to charge the booster.

The color of the booster gauge column began to change.

from red to blue and back to yellow.

As the colors change like a rainbow, boosters are stocked in high concentrations.

‘…’

Kagagak!

Kagagagak!

By the time the shards of debris seemed to reach right behind Black Thunder.

“Hold tight!”

Amkena changed gears and stepped on the accelerator.

Booster on at the same time.

The first stage rocket engine protruding from the rear of the car started burning propellant.

‘Here’s the second step.’

When the booster button was pressed again, the rocket engine changed to second stage.

Three more here.

Stage 4. From 5th to 6th to 7th.

It can no longer be called a car.

Black Thunder, whose shape was close to that of a spaceship, began to build tremendous thrust.

Aaaaaang!

Beyond the speed of sound, to the speed of seconds.

Beyond the speed of seconds, to the speed of light.

Faster than the speed of light.

The swarms of fragments that had followed right behind them moved away.

Black Thunder, which became a single rocket, flew into the sky.

No more need for paper birds to make the way.

Black Thunder was flying through the air.

[Hey, kidding! It’s illegal to do that in a racing game!]

Faster than the speed at which the top of the World Tower moves away.

The end of the race was getting closer.

[Don’t be funny! Get lost!]

The space next to the World Tower was torn apart.

A bunch of innumerable fragments protruding from between them.

After drawing a spiral, the fragments began to come from the front of Black Thunder.

“Finally the last. My turn has come!”

Nihaku untied the rubber band headband.

Platinum blonde hair extended below the waist.

and.

“Chiri-chiri-pizzik-pajik lightning mode!”

she exclaimed confidently, pointing up at the sky.

Then Pajijik!

Her blonde hair began to grow wildly.

At the same time, golden currents bounced all over her body.

“This body is, after all, a super saiyan… kuhhmm.”

Nihaku, who was about to say something, cleared his throat.

“Anyway, it has become a super mode! Enough!”

Nihaku jumped out of Black Thunder.

「Mega Thunder Drill Kick!

」

As a single bolt of lightning, she pierced through the middle of the shards.

Millions of fragments were annihilated in one fell swoop.

So, Black Thunder runs through all the obstacles and tracks to

clang!

I penetrated the dimensional wall and

finally reached the end of the sky.

“…”

It seems.

Top of the World Tower.

The observatory and the scenery above it.

I’ve only been there once.

It was the only height from which one could look down on the entire scenery of Seoul.

There, Amkena arrives in a car.

‘I see.’

now look down

The midday Seoul spread out below was peaceful.

As if all the nonsensical things that had happened were lies.

Numerous high-rise buildings form a forest, and waves of light flow between the roads.

Buildings and streets destroyed during the chase, Andromeda’s flying saucer, super robots, giant monsters, and 17km meteorites all disappeared.

‘This is the real Seoul where I lived.’

It is also a while to indulge in sentiment.

What rises high tends to fall.

Black Thunder, which had lost thrust, was falling.

“Aaron!”

Amkena shouted.

“Leave it to me!”

Amkena clicked the red button on the passenger seat.

The seatbelt was unfastened and the battery inside it was about to spill out of the car.

Along the way, a shadow rises from below.

The shadow snatched the bag containing the statue of a war horse and flew up.

‘Somehow, I feel like I’ve played this role before.’

Aaron laughed bitterly and took out the ink-colored spear from the subspace.

Dark Spear Ruin.

It was one of the Five Shinki and the legacy of his teacher Muden.

The other colleagues are far from Loki and can’t use the magic, but Aaron is different.

Dealing with the power of karma, he was able to demonstrate his true abilities even when he was distant from Loki.

Because it is a self-made power.

Clap!

Connect Ruin and the cannon with a shadow chain.

Then it flew higher and higher.

above the clouds.

where no one can see.

But just before sending Ruin out of the sky, Aaron heard someone laughing.

[It’s not over yet.]

Just before throwing the spear.

When Aaron closed his eyes and opened them, it was an unfamiliar world.

It is not the sky of Seoul.

A space full of darkness.

A world filled with the light of stars in the distant past, but now nothing remains.

[Do you think they’ll let you go?]

This place

was once a remnant of a once-thriving but destroyed dimension.

Right.

Have you been transported to another dimension?

Aaron quickly grasped the situation.

Perhaps this is one of the pitfalls.

It seemed that he had dug a trap connected to another dimension here in anticipation of breaking through the track.

Trap after trap.

Aaron sighed.

Should I elaborate on this?

Should I be well prepared?

[It’ll get eaten by him there.]

Nial laughed evilly.

okay.

prepared with difficulty.

Even as a boy, it took a lot of effort to bring ‘this guy’.

A monster born from the abyss of space.

The existence called ‘the one who devours the stars’ swallowed an entire dimension and led to its destruction.

Even so, the hunger did not subside, and he was walking through the ruined world, endlessly looking for something to eat.

It was prepared by packing it in the prison of Niall’s dimension.

“…”

Aaron saw.

Hundreds of eyes open in the deep darkness.

Those eyes were stained with continued hunger.

oh oh oh

Finally, the vast mouth of unknown size opened and tried to swallow Aaron.

He ate all the gods, spirits, and stars that originally existed here.

Still hungry

more.

more.

more.

‘I’m sorry, Master.’

Aaron apologized in advance.

You told me not to push yourself.

There’s no way you can save against a guy like that.

[Empty]

[Forever and ever]

Shadows began to gather at the tip of Ruin’s spear.

yet.

bang!

Aaron came out of the gap in the torn dimension.

[What is it!]

Niall exclaimed.

what you just saw

can not believe it.

[Damn it! Don’t play around!]

Even the boy carefully locked him up.

But to kill in one blow the being feared by so many gods?

It wasn’t enough just to kill him, so he tore through the dimension and came out?

Meanwhile above the clouds.

Aaron is falling.

He used up all his karma in that blow.

It wasn’t easy because the opponent was the opponent.

[Fuck!]

Niall roared.

At the same time, tentacles emerge from the cracks in the broken dimension.

Before the tentacles ripped apart Aaron’s body.

A light flashed in Aaron’s eyes.

Karma is an eternal flower that blooms in a fleeting moment.

In the stopped time, Aaron enters the world of images again.

A world frozen forever with the moon rising.

This was a world prepared for karma.

“…”

There is nothing difficult.

It’s empty, so just fill it up.

Eternity to the time of the image world.

In real world time, it’s only 1 second.

The power of karma, which evolved one step by merging with his teacher, was able to pass through eons of time in an instant.

When Aaron opened his eyes again, a dark shadow fluttered all over his body.

Kwajik!

Aaron held out his spear.

From the tip of the spear, the blade of the shadow spear extended in all directions.

The whips disappeared without leaving any shape.

The shadow didn’t stop there.

Niall’s form, hiding nearby and watching, was torn to pieces and disappeared.

Even so, it would be an alter ego, but it wouldn’t be a hindrance for a while.

‘End with this.’

Aaron grabbed Ruin’s spearhead.

A leather bag containing a statue of a war horse was tied to the chain of shadows at the tip of the spearhead.

‘Please accept it, older brother.’

Aaron flipped over in the air.

Then, the spear held in his right hand was thrown like a bullet.

There was no sound.

There was no echo that shook the entire earth, nor a shock wave that dissipated the entire cloud.

The spear that was shot quietly moved across the sky and quietly disappeared.

With that alone, Aaron knew success.

It has completed its role.
