Chapter 537: Counting Stars With the Sky God!

Wind God, who thought he had the victory in hand, felt his confidence soar, then turned back.

He wanted to see if Gedewen had reached the first signpost, so he could deliver a mocking remark that would leave him in despair.

Just the thought of it excited Wind, but when he turned around, he was left dumbfounded.

There was no one behind him, Gedewen had simply disappeared?

"Huh?"

Wind was stunned, his first reaction being that Gedewen had given up, or maybe been blown away by the powerful wind.

"Not right!"

Hugh suddenly turned his head and saw Gedewen standing in front of him, smiling and waving at him.

"Wind God… Is this really your speed?"

Hugh’s pupils shrank, not daring to slow down, and sprinted with all his might!

This time, Hugh didn’t look back, but ran straight to the finish line!

He turned suddenly, but Gedewen’s figure was nowhere to be seen behind him!

What trick is that guy playing?

Hugh couldn’t understand how Gedewen caught up with him?

If Gedewen catches up with him, how would he not feel it?

At first, Xiu thought that Auzo and his friends would directly attack themselves because they were slower.

So, as long as he couldn’t escape, no matter how slowly Auzo and his friends ran, they could win!

But how could Xiu not think of this?

In fact, if Auzo and his friends really did this, they wouldn’t even catch a whiff of his tail!

No attack could catch up to Him!

Even attacks that were sure to hit would have to be taken for a ride in the sky before they could reach him!

They might even be no match for Xiu!

Xiu could control storms while running and attacking his opponents, managing to both race and fight without affecting his own speed!

Or in other words, if the opponent somehow surpassed him in speed, he could control the wind to blow them back!

Strangely, Gedewen neither attacked nor was seen!

Hurry didn’t have time to think too much, as long as he ran back, it would be too late for whatever Gedewen had prepared afterwards!

Less than thirty seconds later, Hurry didn’t know how to lose!

In such a short time, they wouldn’t even have time to prepare anything on the way!

Swish!

With another swooshing sound, Hurry had already flown back and forth, arriving at the last milestone!

"It’s over, easy peasy!"

Hurry was about to land, but at that moment, countless chains suddenly emerged from his shadow!

Click clack!

These chains suddenly wrapped around his hands and feet, keeping him stuck in place!

Hu’s pupils shrank, but it wasn’t difficult to break free from these chains, he just needed to…

"Why am I…"

For some reason, Hu’s body suddenly slowed down by an unknown amount!

His voice, his movements, every single action became painfully slow at that moment!

A cloud of black mist gradually enveloped his body, forming a smiling face at the top!

It was a curse!

The chains kept Hu rooted in place, the slow curse made him want to break free from the chains, but he moved at a snail’s pace!

And just then, a dark cloud emerged from Hu’s shadow.

"You-can’t-believe"

Gedewen grinned, stepping over Xiu’s body and reaching the final destination directly.

"I’m very satisfied with this hitchhike."

Time to go!

Xiu tore open the chains, breaking the curse. With red eyes, he stared at Gedewen, "Have you been hiding in my shadow all along?!"

"No, even if you wanted to hide in my shadow, you wouldn’t have time. You can’t catch up with me at all!"

"And, if you were in my shadow, why can’t I feel you there? Why can’t I feel you?!"

Watching the restless Xiu, Gedewen slowly took off his mask, revealing a soul-like head!

His head was like thick smoke, with two red smoky flashes in place of his eyes!

With the wind brought by the rest, Gedewen’s smoky body was also moved.

"Can smoke and mist move?"

"Smoke and mist move because they are naturally pushed by the wind."

"Your wind is too strong."

Rest’s pupils contracted, "So I stayed still, and you naturally stopped."

Gedewen put on a mask, "I hope you can still laugh after this ‘speed’ competition is over."

Avalon said that he couldn’t replicate the Wind God, and no one else could either.

Since he couldn’t become the Wind God, let the Wind God compete against himself.

Isn’t this a perfect replication of the Wind God’s speed?

But also thanks to Gedewen’s invisible presence, the plan went smoothly.

To be honest, Gedewen was so unnoticeable that even Auzo forgot he was in his own shadow.

Wind God bowed his head and said, "I…I lost."

Clap, clap, clap.

Sun God Ra slowly clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful! Seeing this, it seems there is indeed a reason why you have reached this point."

"So, who wants to go next for the second round?"

Except for Ra and Wind, the seven other Pillars of Gods showed eagerness to take on the challenge at this moment.

"Nute, you go first."

As soon as the words were spoken, a female deity among the Pillars of Gods stepped forward.

She had long black hair flowing loose, as if a gentle breeze was playing with her hair, making it float in the air.

She was wearing revealing clothes, adorned with golden accessories.

She wore a shining top like stars and a translucent dark skirt that flickered like the night.

Sky God Nute!

Nute lifted her chin, "Shall I take over? You won’t have a chance."

"I don’t really want to make things difficult for you, so let’s do something simple. Let’s count the stars. Whoever finishes counting all the stars in the sky first wins."

This isn’t making things difficult?

As a Sky God, how could she not know how many stars there are in the sky?

Are you kidding me!

Comparing speed with the Wind God is one thing, but comparing star count with the Sky God, is that even fair?

And at that moment, Auzo suddenly spoke up!

"Add one rule: the condition for victory must be to accurately state the number out loud."

Nute chuckled at the words, "Alright, I agree."

In just a moment, everyone understood Auzo’s intention!

Without this rule, it would be a certainty to hear Nute announce their defeat in the competition!

However, with this rule added, their strategy became clearer!

As long as Nute couldn’t speak, they couldn’t lose!

But if that alone wasn’t enough, even if they found a way to seal Nute’s mouth, it wouldn’t be permanent.

In the end, we still need to know the exact number of stars.

The rest is about who speaks up first!
