Uplifting Journey

"Didn't I just stand here? How can I ask someone face to face if they are dead?"

Cheng Bin knew what Jotaro wanted to ask, so he asked back with a smile, then he turned his gaze to Polnareff and said curiously: "I can even detect the self-destruction of my soul." , The Silver Chariot Requiem is quite 'concerned' to me. Should we have an open and honest talk?"

Polnareff and Jotaro looked at each other, then he took a step forward, opened his hands to Cheng Bin and said calmly: "I know something from the Silver Chariot Requiem, although I still don't know Specific reasons, but the current situation is indeed caused by his intentional guidance

"Now you have temporarily severed the connection with 'infinity', and your past words and deeds generally conform to 'a certain standard', so the substitute alliance represented by the silver chariot Requiem is willing to have further contact with you. "

"Stand-in. Alliance?" Cheng Bin glanced at his palm thoughtfully——

As one of the humanoid daughters with a special status in certain fields, he is currently in charge of several experimental projects on substitutes, such as reshaping the soul that currently controls the unformed, and trying to use soul energy to reproduce the power of a substitute .

Although in the current exploration results and research conjectures, there is a high probability that such a strange thing as a substitute is related to other parallel worlds. No matter how hard you try in a single world, you can't reproduce the miraculous power of a substitute, but...

Cheng Bin felt that there should be far more than one case in which he disliked the troubles of Katz's entanglement and abandoned the "infinite" world in a normal world line large-base environment-after all, the so-called stand-in alliance seemed to be happy to promote the occurrence of this matter .

Then, with the convenient intermediary and carrier of soul energy, he can give it a try. Relying on the tacit understanding with himself in the parallel world, he can customize a new substitute through space cooperation.

This is also an exploratory experiment on the origin of the substitute—where did the various substitutes that existed before the substitute messenger come from? Can it be born out of thin air in this way? Or, is the base of existing stand-ins large enough to screen out individuals who fully match Cheng Bin's customization needs?

To be honest, this kind of experiment is difficult to control, and it is quite difficult for Cheng Bin in the alone world to judge whether there is progress and which direction the progress is.

However, there seems to be a more convenient verification channel in front of the Substitute Alliance, how many secrets behind the Substitute will you know?

After a brief moment of pondering, Cheng Bin put down his hand that was vaguely shrouded in phantom, looked at Polnareff, and said to this guy who always had his thoughts and emotions written on his face: "The fate of the stand-in messenger depends on me." I have heard it for a long time. Judging from the situation in the world, there are all kinds of contradictions and conflicts between the substitute messengers and the substitutes.

"It's hard to imagine that a special life like a substitute, who can use abilities to rule a specific field, can form a unified alliance. So, do the substitutes of the alliance face an extremely dangerous living environment, or do they have extremely terrifying foreign enemies? ?”

It is nothing more than those factors that can make a group full of internal contradictions put aside all disputes and form a unified group.

Polnareff, who is not good at hiding his emotions, changed his expression slightly when he heard the last word, making Cheng Bin, who was observing him, nod clearly: "I see. Is it a foreign enemy? Look at you, the foreign enemy is still you." Known, individual? A powerful enemy who can force a large number of doubles to unite to fight against it."

Risut, who was trying to reduce his sense of existence under the faint hostility of Jotaro, shuddered unconsciously when he heard this, and took a step back subconsciously——

who I am? What are they talking about? what am i doing here

Hearing the sound of retreat, the three of Cheng Bin turned their gazes to Risut at the same time, and then retracted them as if nothing had happened. This caused Risut, who knew nothing about the situation, to have tremendous psychological pressure, and he unconsciously approached the door. up.

Seeing Risut "consciously" retreating from the laboratory door, Jotaro, who was instinctively hostile to vampires, raised his hand and pressed the brim of his hat, then he put his hand on Polnareff's shoulder and sighed After yelling, he said to Cheng Bin: "The enemy of the alliance is a real monster."

Recalling the shock and throbbing in his heart when he learned the truth from Polnareff not long ago, Jotaro, who came over from the German research base when he was grounded, had a complex look on his face: "That is a person who can A monster that devours other doubles completely, erasing the soul of its carrier from history

"Possesses the ability to almost make one's wishes come true, distorts and overwrites the reality of the entire star universe, and constantly devours more time, space and life. The monster, our old enemy - Dio! Or the stand-in 'world'!"

That "world" in "Platinum Star World" that can stop time.

The memory of the bloody battle many years ago, along with the revealing of that name, resurfaced in Jotaro's heart.

The culprit who has entangled the shadow of the Joestar family for hundreds of years and killed several generations of the family, is the extremely evil vampire Dio.

Jotaro originally thought that the terrifying enemy whose ability was so powerful had been completely defeated and killed by him who had awakened the same ability. But what he didn't expect was that the causal entanglement between him and that monster was far from complete. Finish--

On the river of time and space formed by countless world lines, monsters with the ability to devour are hunting weak substitutes everywhere. Every time a substitute is swallowed, even if only a part of it is swallowed, he will become stronger and possess the power of the devoured person at the same time. partial capacity.

Constantly devouring, constantly expanding and becoming stronger, even made this monster closer to the essence of stand-in ability in the essence of ability, and his ability in the world gradually broke away from the constraints of rules and regulations, and moved towards a free mind. Make big strides.

The crazy devourer "World" vainly tries to devour all the substitutes and gather the power of all the substitutes into one, so as to reach a higher realm.

Under the pressure of survival, most of the stand-ins united and ignited a huge war against the Devourer in countless worlds. In the end, with huge sacrifices, the Devourer's progress was defeated by the Alliance in the decisive battle. The strongest of all restrained—

The Time Ruler, Platinum Star Requiem, gave up part of himself and was swallowed by the world on his own initiative. In the process, he joined forces with other partially swallowed and not completely dead doubles to defeat the world's sanity from the inside.

But that was only temporary. The battle didn't end, it just shifted into another form.

After listening to the brief narration of the two, Cheng Bin looked at Jotaro in surprise and asked: "So, your current substitute Platinum Star, and that Dior's substitute world are essentially the same world that was devoured and fused after the decisive battle. An individual? You can all exert influence on each other's spirit through a substitute?"

Jotaro was silent for a while, then shook his head and said: "It can only be said that the connection is extremely close. Now that I think about it, when he was attacking Dio, he used to use intelligence similar to my grandfather Joseph's "Hermit Purple". Substitute ability, but this short-lived thing did not attract much attention after his death.

"I thought that my ability to stop time, like the Hermit's Purple incident, was due to the mutual influence of Dior and Joestar's family blood. Now, looking at it from another angle, maybe this guy really swallowed our substitute The power of possesses part of our abilities.

"...I now somewhat understand what the evil ritual that guy left behind to ascend to 'Heaven' by devouring souls is used for."

Seeing that Cheng Bin wanted to ask more in-depth questions, Polnareff took a step forward and interrupted with a cough: "A lot of information I know from the Silver Chariot Requiem is actually incomplete. There is also a lot of speculation at this level, so there are some secrets that don't need to be delved into for the time being, let's solve the immediate problem first.

"In order to allow the power of the alliance to truly intervene in this world and prevent everything from being swallowed by that monster, we have to pull out the two remaining thorny nails outside the Crimson King as soon as possible."
