[Ability Four (Wheel of Time · Holy Duality): Stand and user are two sides of the same coin; neither can be separated or plundered. If the Stand dies, it will be reborn in the user; if the user dies, it will be reborn in the Stand.]
In an instant, Suze felt completely enveloped in a sense of security, and a happy delight flashed in his eyes.
A Stand was a cheat, but also a weakness.
Dio died because his Stand was destroyed.
With this ability, he no longer had to worry about that, and it also eliminated the hidden danger of his Stand being stolen by rule-type abilities like DISC.
A Stand was a manifestation of spiritual and life energy—now it could be seen as his spiritual energy, life energy, and physical body becoming an inseparable whole.
"Transcendence, King of Time, Holy Duality are all defensive abilities... Am I really that insecure?"
"It's all because of this world full of crises!"
Suze suddenly felt a bit indignant.
Suddenly, he looked at the five motionless clocks behind Chronos.
Speaking of which, judging by this trend, there should be five more abilities in the future.
But among the five abilities, there wouldn't be abilities like causality reversal or calamity, would there?
Chronos was clearly a time-based Stand; wouldn't messing around like this make it too muddled and affect its upper limit?
"Let's see if it can evolve again."
Suze pondered without result, so he simply picked up the Substitute Arrow and inserted it into his body again.
No reaction.
This Substitute Arrow was worth 40 million Desire Points, but he didn't plan to reclaim it immediately. Instead, he intended to keep it as "backup Desire Points" for emergencies and for his girlfriends to use on a daily basis.
Afterward, he tested a few wishes related to clones and then left the Crystal Palace.
...
At noon, Suze accompanied Oriental Woman to complete her resignation procedures. As they were leaving the school gate, they were stopped by a high school girl with beautiful, seaweed-like long hair.
[Name: Yama Gishi Yuhua Zi]
[Tags: Yandere, Stand User, Beautiful Girl, Love-struck]
[Psychology: This is my ideal partner!]
[Desire Value: High]
[Danger Level: Medium]
[Introduction: A beautiful girl who fell in love with you at first sight. If you don't accept her confession, she will do some very crazy things.]
"Love at first sight? Are you sure it's not lust at first sight?"
"And a mere Yama Gishi Yuhua Zi, her danger level is actually medium. Is it because she has a Stand?"
"A personality like Yama Gishi Yuhua Zi's indeed makes it easy for a Stand to undergo abnormal changes."
Suze looked at the love letter Yama Gishi Yuhua Zi handed over, his mind racing as if time had stopped.
Slap!
Oriental Woman, with the demeanor of a dignified wife, slapped the love letter away: "Suze is my boyfriend."
"Older woman-younger man relationship?!"
"Teacher Oriental has gone public!"
"I don't know whether to envy Teacher Oriental or that boy."
The students at the school gate immediately began to discuss.
From the moment Suze entered the school, he had already become a topic of conversation. Many girls wanted his contact information but were too self-conscious to approach. Unexpectedly, Yama Gishi Yuhua Zi got ahead of them and also revealed a shocking piece of gossip.
"You…" Yama Gishi Yuhua Zi was utterly furious, her eyes, hidden beneath her long hair, stared coldly at Oriental Woman, and black aura emanated from her body.
This black aura was caused by the externalization of spiritual energy, appearing when a Stand user used their Stand, and was invisible to ordinary people.
Oriental Woman was unaware of the seriousness of the situation, leaning forward and looking at Yama Gishi Yuhua Zi with disdain.
"If you want to pursue me, then find a way to join Sō Ryūin and become a fighter under my banner," Suze threw out a business card belonging to Kunae Son.
This was temporarily created using Desire Points.
Kunae Son had recently been recruiting female fighters, and the women's fighting group could accommodate this unusual girl, Yama Gishi Yuhua Zi, very well.
Yama Gishi Yuhua Zi's fair hand, where tiny blue veins were visible, caught the business card. Her seaweed-like black hair grew wildly, attacking Oriental Woman like a tidal wave.
This appearance was truly terrifying, somewhat like a horror movie.
Chronos appeared out of thin air, waving its palm, and a gust of wind suddenly swept out, blowing the black hair back, preventing its advance.
While the two Stands were in a stalemate, Suze had already embraced Oriental Woman and turned to leave.
A luxury car was parked at the school gate, and Akai was waiting for him.
"How is it, Oriental Woman, do you still have any lingering feelings?" Suze asked with a smile after they got in the car.
Oriental Woman looked at the school with complex emotions and gently shook her head.
"If you want to come back later, you can come back anytime," Suze comforted her, "I'll have a helicopter send you then; it'll be grand."
Oriental Woman was immediately amused.
Listening to the laughter from the back, Akai, sitting in the front, rolled her eyes.
This guy, he really couldn't stay idle for a moment.
The luxury car carried the four of them all the way back to the Higashikata home.
"Mom, you're finally back. Two strange guys have come to the house!" Zhangzhu heard the commotion at the entrance and immediately ran over, exclaiming loudly.
"Those are guests, not strange guys," Oriental Woman mildly rebuked him.
Since they were in the house now, it meant they had already gained the approval of Miss Sanshoku Kin.
"Okay, I understand," Zhangzhu nodded obediently.
The group entered the house, and Suze saw Vermouth and Takashi Miki sitting at the table leisurely drinking tea, with two hooded ladies sitting beside them.
Suze activated his True Magic Eye, and his expression immediately became intrigued.
These two were not nobodies.
One of them had an extremely high Desire Value, which was even rarer than anime protagonists!
"Nice to meet you, Suze. I am Lisa Lisa." The woman with the extremely high Desire Value removed her hood, revealing a flawless, perfect face, truly a great beauty.
In terms of looks, Lisa Lisa was second to none in the JOJO series.
"You're still alive," Suze's tone revealed a hint of surprise.
"You know me?" Lisa Lisa was also very surprised.
Suze nodded: "I've heard a little about it."
Lisa Lisa was active during World War II, was the master of the Ripple Master Zeppeli, and also the mother of Jojo. She must be over a hundred years old by now.
"Well, that explains a lot," Lisa Lisa's eyes were sincere, and her words were astonishing: "The fate on you must be too much to bear, isn't it?!"
Suze's expression changed, and he said in surprise: "You know about fate?"
"I can sense it vaguely," Lisa Lisa replied.
Suze carefully looked at Lisa Lisa, then made a gesture for her to sit down: "Tell me in detail... what happened after Kars's death, and your purpose in coming to me."
"You actually know such secret matters!" Lisa Lisa was deeply moved.
She had investigated Suze before coming to Morioh Town. He was just a young man not yet twenty, who had perhaps spent some time wandering in a rather powerful organization in Japan.
But she was certain that the leader of that organization did not know such detailed information about her.
Karasuma Renye was an old monster, but so was she.
"Of course, I am willing to explain my purpose to you, but before that, please allow me to introduce my assistant, Mariah."
Mariah removed her hood, revealing dark skin, white hair, red lips, and cold-toned hazel eyes that stared at Suze, with some enthusiastic colors flickering within them.
