"Boom—"
The once quiet [Third Area] was suddenly shaken at the entrance!
Large chunks of brick and stone shattered and shot into the darkness of the [Third Zone].
The massive "Unwavering" ship, propelled by its bow, surged wildly into the waters of the "Third Region".
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
It was like a giant passing through; the entire area was trembling at a high frequency.
"Um?"
How could that be?
"How could everyone have awakened from [Heaven]?"
"Why...why did you all have to wake up?! Why?! Why?!"
In the darkness at the forefront, fluffy feathers fell from the [Paradise Made] ship, causing it to tremble.
Because 'heaven' is a dream that pulls everyone into it.
Therefore, once the people in the dream return to reality, Focalman can detect it immediately.
Inside the [Heavenly Creation - Captain's Cabin], his face was ashen, unable to understand why everyone had been forcibly awakened. Originally, only his lower body was feathered, but now... due to the use of 'Heaven's' active skill, his lower abdomen was also covered in feathers!
Hull...
It's devouring his life!
Given my past timid and carefree personality, I'd probably be terrified to tears right now.
but...
I don't know why.
Watching the others catch up with each other, and seeing that first place could be taken away at any moment, Focalman's mind was like it had been infested with parasites, filled only with anger and frustration!
"First!"
"Number one is mine!"
"It can only be mine!!!"
"Puff puff puff—"
At full speed, [Paradise Made] sped towards the unknown darkness.
He is still number one, the undisputed number one!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
only...
In the dark sea, where you're sprinting at full speed, there's no light in sight, and no discernible racetrack. The Third Zone seems to offer more freedom than the First and Second Zones?
"call--"
"call--"
"call--"
Underwater, you can faintly hear the sound of objects rushing through the water.
It was like...like some huge thing was constantly rocking in the water.
"Sizzle—"
The relentless hiss of steam was already approaching from behind. Focalman's face hardened; ignoring the 'track malfunction,' he accelerated relentlessly forward...
"call!!!"
However!
Just a few hundred meters ahead, the underwater swaying sound intensified!
"Puff puff puff—"
A long string of bubbles swirled rapidly from the left, spreading out towards the center of the [Paradise Made] ship!
If you look closer...
That!
That was a saw blade flywheel suspended by a steel cable!
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
The flywheel spun rapidly, the saw blade cutting through the water, producing a high-frequency vibration. Suspended by a steel cable, the wheel swayed back and forth in the dark racetrack, cutting a straight line across the track!
Holy crap!!!
"this..."
"There's a flywheel here too?!"
Focalman's eyes widened in surprise!
He never expected this!
The 'Death Wheel' in Zone 3 is even more insidious than the vertical spinning wheel in Zone 2!
The 'saw blade' in Zone 2 at least gives you a clear indication that it's going to attack the entire track vertically, so be prepared to dodge it! But in Zone 3, it's completely invisible...
You still have that eerie flywheel hanging there, swaying from side to side?
Isn't this playing with fire?
"It's over!!!"
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
The saw blade swung at high speed, and Focalman, being quite inept, had no idea how to dodge it.
All he knew was that, given the current rotation speed of the [Paradise Made] ship, it was impossible for it to exceed the cutting distance caused by the wobbling of the saw blade!
He instinctively closed his eyes, and suddenly the Nightmare's whispered words from the Second Area echoed in his ears: "If only... if only I wasn't afraid of this thing..."
"【nightmare】!!!"
I instinctively gasped!
"Pfft—"
The enormous saw severed [Made in Heaven] in half from the center.
"Puff puff puff—"
In an instant, the speeding boat flew in two! Large swaths of feathers, like blood, poured from inside the hull, forming a white river in the darkness...
"Well..."
"Well......"
A heart-wrenching pain shot through me!
Focalman experienced the excruciating pain that the Nightmare had endured.
His eyes rolled back in pain, his whole body trembled, and the regretful voice of the Nightmare kept echoing in his ears: "If only I... weren't afraid... not afraid of this thing... then... then I could protect you..."
There was a second half to that sentence that was never said.
Now, upon hearing the second half of the sentence, Fokaman's eyes glazed over, and tears inexplicably welled up in his eyes.
"Puff puff puff—"
at the same time!
A miraculous thing happened!
【Made in Heaven】was cut in two, but the fallen feathers gathered again, and an identical 【Made in Heaven】ship reappeared. Focalman was thus trapped inside the ship, tears streaming down his face.
