The period after his return was not long after Joe left.
Once he regained consciousness, Chen Miaowen looked around and noticed that his two stand-ins were still there. Without hesitation, he shrunk himself and pulled out some spider silk.
"Hurry up and go."
......
Joe no longer felt sorrow or joy, but in reality, he hadn't changed much. He crawled out of the cabin, stretched, and showed no signs of being surprised.
"Arrow, are you still here? Is sacrificing souls no longer an option?"
"I am still inside you, and the prerequisite for sacrificing your soul is that the universe must be still. But keeping the universe still consumes a portion of your soul. In addition to keeping the universe still, other rule abilities are ranked according to their respective influence. The greater the effect of an ability, the more souls need to be sacrificed. I mentioned this before... So, you understand. However, since your soul is being sacrificed to me, I naturally support you in overusing your abilities."
"I won't use it anymore. I just want to be an ordinary person."
"Even after killing so many people, do you really think you can easily live out the rest of your life?"
How did you know?
"hey-hey..."
"..."
The weather outside was never bad, and Joe had no intention of leaving the ship to escape.
"They're hiding and waiting for the prince and his crew... This ship will definitely start again... I wonder if Tobio is dead or not, and if he's not, will he get back on the ship?"
"Hehe, you can trade your soul for the answer."
......
Rongrong still lost the chase. Without the marker, he was like a headless fly, and Huang Zhen couldn't help him either.
"So close... Why does Diablo always manage to escape? Why is he so lucky?"
It's no wonder Giorno couldn't help it. Although Huang Zhen is invincible in the JoJo universe and is a very intelligent protagonist, he is facing several overpowered characters who transcend the universe. It's perfectly normal that he couldn't catch up with or kill Diavolo.
"It's a real shame... If only that arrow hadn't disappeared... But Giorno, that arrow with the mark seems to have completely vanished from this world. It might have been fused with by Diavolo, like the Insect Arrow... But if that's the case, given Diavolo's personality, he definitely wouldn't have continued to run away after fusing with it. He would have stood up and attacked everyone, but he didn't."
"There's another possibility... the arrow simply vanished, never being in anyone's possession, right?"
"It's also possible that the arrow wasn't a useful type for him, and the fusion didn't bring about a qualitative change in his abilities."
Although this explanation calmed Rongrong's anxious heart a little, he was still very upset that Diablo had escaped again.
"Let's search the area... Giorno, there's a small plane behind this slope."
Huang Zhen continued flying low with Rongrong and finally arrived at the same location that Chen Miaowen had been in two minutes earlier, and found Qiao's gift.
"Let's take a closer look."
What followed was not much different from the previous life's plot; Jungle was also blown up, this time at face-to-face.
This is Joe's specific target acquisition mechanism. Once anyone gets close to this area, it will explode. Even if someone escapes to a distance, it will still explode once it has locked onto someone entering the area.
But this is highly unlikely; the person capable of reacting to an explosion that hits your face doesn't exist in the world.
The different results were simply because we encountered Rongrong.
This devastating destruction wouldn't harm Murky at all; it just surprised him a little.
After the unexpected event, there was a combination of passive backtracking and active retreat. After backtracking two or three times, Rongrong immediately issued an order.
"This plane will never explode."
The active causal effect of Gui seems to be greater than Red Arrow's wish and also greater than his passive retrospective ability, so he is able to change or even destroy the aircraft's target acquisition rules.
"The fact that the backtracking brought back the explosion only indicates that either it was a time bomb or a problem with the plane itself, or that the plane might have an underlying rule that it would explode if someone got too close, and that as long as someone entered that area, it would keep exploding and destroying itself. Even after the backtracking, even if there was no one nearby, the rule had already been triggered, so it still exploded."
"This...this is a Stand ability? That can't be...this is even stronger and more impactful than the Requiem's Rewind ability?"
"However, it is possible for the returnee to influence this rule, of course... this is only one possibility."
While puzzled, Rongrong opened the driver's door.
"There's nothing strange about it, it's just a normal F-15 fighter jet, but this shouldn't be something Diavolo brought... it should belong to another Stand user."
"So it's rule-based ability."
However, the owner of the plane has disappeared without a trace.
"Perhaps its owner escaped, and was afraid after seeing Diablo, after all, he was a murderer. But there is also the possibility that the arrow used its power to take him and Diablo out of this world, like spatial teleportation. There are other possibilities, such as they were killed by the arrow... These theories are all very illogical."
Huang Zhen offered his insights, but Rongrong was speechless. No matter how much he thought about the situation, he couldn't come up with a reasonable conclusion. He was very confused.
"Keep chasing. A few kilometers ahead should be the harbor. Diavolo might be heading that way... But chasing doesn't feel right. We might not catch up... And that devil, that devil is a Stand user too, isn't he? Why did I forget? He'll definitely be chasing us. He'll definitely come here... Maybe."
"So... should we stay here, or go after Diablo?"
......
Chen Miaowen saw the sea, but dared not relax. Without using the deletion and splitting abilities, he used Spider-Man's agile movements to outrun the train and frantically fled from that place of trouble.
He finally arrived at the ocean port, a place where he could finally relax.
"We can't let our guard down. Giorno might still be chasing us. Only by getting on the ship can we completely escape their pursuit..."
"Um."
......
After the mark disappeared, the prince didn't dare to go any further. He was afraid of running into the stand-in user. In addition, since he had returned to normal, he turned back and decided to go back to the ship to clean up the mess before leaving Egypt.
After regaining consciousness, Satan, who was further away, was briefly confused. He was eight or nine kilometers away from where the mark disappeared, which wasn't far. If he took a taxi and rushed there, it wouldn't take more than ten minutes.
"What I wanted... has disappeared. This can't be real, right?"
Satan thought about it a lot, and then naturally realized that what he wanted had been taken away by Diablo...
"Holy shit!!!"
He was so angry he almost vomited blood.
"Master, Master... please don't be angry. The mark has disappeared, and given the opponent's speed, it will be difficult for us to find them... Moreover, that yellow clone may have already caught up with him, may have killed him, taken the arrow, or even destroyed it! That's actually acceptable..."
"Accept? How can I accept this? If that yellow stand-in gets those two arrows and becomes even stronger, how am I supposed to live?! Tell me, Satan!"
The car was unusually noisy.
......
Trish was never able to get there in time, not to mention the other Stand users who weren't in Egypt. After they regained their senses, they were only confused for a while before returning to their lives and getting back to their business.
