Chapter 1262: NO.166: That usually just goes straight to fight monsters

NO. 166: That usually just goes straight to fight monsters.

"It was like that at first, and it is still like that now."

Those words really hit the mark, almost letting Aomo ignore her little gesture of wanting to touch but stopping.

Perhaps just as his own appearance was unusually sudden, Gechengwangpai brother also highlighted that, like an ordinary girl, he has an aesthetic that finds cute things hard to resist.

Of course, even so, Aomo could not possibly really suggest letting her touch.

Even if others don't care about this, someone hasn't imagined himself as a mouse.

The guinea pig wearing a pair of demon horns didn't mention this discovery at all, because he was indeed more concerned with the will in those words.

The will to run freely on the grass is not only what the trainer hopes for, but also what the audience, who has seen past scenes, expects.

Being both audience and trainer, the guinea pig decided not to disturb this secret training.

Even when the other party intends to chat a few words about their current situation, he proactively speaks up about more pressing matters.

— Training.

Naturally, it's training.

The fact is, although this world has some extraordinary physiques and excellent source energy techniques that can permanently strengthen the body and maintain condition—just as Aomo once glimpsed in the Clock Tower's intelligence gathering, Chaldea's information, such as 【innate physique】 and so on.

Such extraordinary talent in shaping and strengthening muscles, which is astonishing and even obsessive, although it is a result of information fixation, having already descended into this world, ought to be analyzable—but before considering that, we must not forget the athlete restriction standards set by the URA Association for official horse girl races.

In this overly diverse, overly rich, even callable complex world, methods and forces outside the rules are always endless.

Thus each year's extreme competition is held in a precarious state, each edition seeming as if it might be difficult to have a next one.

In stark contrast, it is the stable longevity of pursuing the ultimate limit of classic races under layers of rules.

This naturally includes the horse girl races.

Rather, since a hundred years ago, horse racing has already become the representative of classic competitions.

It even once ventured into the field of new-style competitions.

— A group that, even after retirement, still wanted to run and also came into contact with various source energy techniques and technologically assisted horse girls, thus participating in unrestricted speed competitions.

Such attempts lacked notable results, and out of personal willingness to compete, they never received official support, so the claim that 'the horse racing world is challenging the foundation of unrestricted speed competitions' has never held.

But as a meme, it is quite popular, and moreover, because each year's extreme competition can count some horse girl athletes' facts, it stays fresh upon repeated viewing.

However, horse girls who have participated in new-style competitions, regardless of whether they admit it, will lose the qualification to return to classic traditional races.

No matter how they try to erase the traces of extreme competition left on their bodies, the electronic records of the information age will prove everything; although the association has once been criticized for being old‑fashioned and clumsy in work efficiency and handling style, it is nonetheless ahead in the technical aspect of scanning and verifying athlete records.

Faced with the mechanical test results rumored to be related to the Heart of Terra, athletes and their acquaintances, no matter how much they complain or curse the association's one‑size‑fits‑all approach, find it ultimately futile; fortunately, Gechengwangpai is not among those.

Even though she is already the human form of Ultraman Ace, even though she was once trapped by enemies in the darkness of Gatanjeor, forcing Ultraman to exert his full power to preserve her vital signs, she already shows preliminary signs of fusion.

Extraordinary abilities, abnormal lifespan, and possibly even showing Ultraman's potential in genetics—Ultraman, as an ultimate life form in biological concept, brings incalculable benefits to humanity during the assimilation process.

But even though this surpasses the norm, this situation still does not fall under the association's prohibitions.

"Don't you think this is quite absurd?"

"Absurd?"

"Yeah, after hearing Gechengwangpai briefly mention it, I checked it out the way Ultraman said, and your competition rules are really dense," said the Ultraman resembling a middle‑aged office worker, twisting his nose bridge and blinking, as if just thinking about it made his head spin, "opening a sentence still stuffs in various little sidebars and term explanations—I could barely keep reading."

"Your willingness to keep reading makes me feel quite absurd, like Xiao Lu's father is about to come back killing." Gazing at the not‑far‑off horse girl sprinting with a heavy load, the big guinea pig lying on the ground didn't even glance at the guy beside him.

But the guy beside him doesn't care either, merely watching that horse girl and complaining, "Oh, give me a break—even if Belial really came back killing, I wouldn't be that worked up, but even if he truly revived, he couldn't come anyway, right?"

"I've heard there are quite a few Belials in this world; given that Gargula can't get through, Belial probably can't either."

"Beliar," the big guinea pig said in a slightly Bud English accent, "I guess you mean the Vice Ruler of Heaven."

"Ah, yes, yes, that's it!" Sai Luo turned his head to look at Aomo, arms crossed, brows furrowed, "I also saw that among the Seventy‑Two Pillars of Demons here they counted him, and said he looks like two beautiful angels, and the one called the Magic Book even described him as a beautiful yet fallen angel… uh uh uh…"

As he said that, he felt like vomiting, even though the other party had previously displayed a beautiful 'human form' before Him.

"Sai Luo."

"What?"

"The design prototype of a character and the character itself are usually just a secondary creation relationship."

"Secondary creation?"

"Secondary creation, meaning it can differ greatly from the prototype, even to the point of having almost no connection—I think you at least understand this."

"Ah, I initially thought that too, but your universe's unspoken rule is just about positioning, right? Although I don't want to admit it, that Belial fellow completely fits the deeds of titles like King of Hell, Child of Darkness, and Vice Ruler of Heaven."

"I already said I wanted to say…"

"Say what?"

"Should I say whether the investigation was thorough enough or whether I remembered everything completely?" the mouse raised a hand and rubbed the fluff and faint stubble on his chin.

Aomo never imagined he could hear so many theological and mystical terms from Sai Luo's mouth; this feeling is truly novel.

"But isn't it getting further and further off track?"

"Huh? Um, what were we talking about at the start?"

"Human amnesia should hardly appear in mimicked human bodies."

"Oh oh, it's that association rule," Sai Luo realized, then looked speechlessly at the big mouse, "Speaking of which, why are you so polite to Gechengwangpai but so rude to me?"

"If you want me to be a bit more polite, at least cause less trouble, and I can treat you with the attitude I have toward a teen idol."

"Teen idol? Heh~" this person's face immediately showed a somewhat weird smile, "Were you a teen idol back then?"

However, the other party firmly denied: "No, you're too much of an overpowered protagonist, I don't like that."

The guinea pig shook his head: "Nexus is still about the same, otherwise at least Diga."

"Saying that is also too rude—what exactly is an overpowered protagonist?"

"A specific term in the Eastflame online literature circle, referring to a group whose start, development, deployment, and fame are all especially smooth, with excellent performance..." the guinea pig said, fell silent for a few seconds, then asked again, "Aren't you going off topic again?"

"Association rules!" Sai Luo raised both hands in surrender, seemingly aware that he repeatedly derailed the topic embarrassingly, "I'm saying why your association's competition rules can be made so extravagantly complex, yet they didn't factor in a situation like Gechengwangpai's!"

"It's simple enough—the association folks, although they cling to every rule change and refuse to let go, acting like a fool with a one‑size‑fits‑all approach, but whenever they actually amend regulations they do so after careful thought, especially to win public approval; in other words, they either create momentum to gain public acceptance, or they pick a renegade who defies the rules and use him as a target for practice."

Did I just hear a terrible form of address?

You must be talking about malignant elements, right?

I said…… forget it… Sai Luo thought that as an Ultraman he had no reason to correct a local's mistaken local cultural etiquette, "So what you mean is……"

"Now there are so many baffling regulations, all thanks to those past profiteers who exploited loopholes." The capybara's fingers were interlaced, as if holding some nut.

"Once you understand that, try to guess: in the past, could there have been a human Ultraman symbiont horse girl competing on the racetrack?"
