Chapter 148 - Chapter 149

In fact, it wasn't just Kibutsuji Muzan who thought so; anyone who went to the comment section would probably subconsciously think...

...that this title was talking about him for sure.

Members of the Demon Slayer Corps also showed surprised expressions and then began to focus on watching the video.

JOJO World.

"Hmm?"

The Egypt Tour Group, who had just finished dealing with one of DIO's subordinates, also noticed this title.

The others didn't show any strange expressions, but Joseph showed a rather peculiar one.

"What's wrong, Mr. Joseph?" At this time, Avdol noticed Joseph's strange expression and asked in confusion, "Could it be that you think something is wrong with this?"

"..."

Avdol's words made everyone turn their gaze over.

Kakyoin Noriaki, Jotaro, and Polnareff looked at Joseph with quite puzzled expressions.

They hadn't noticed Joseph's abnormality just now.

Joseph showed a rather 'bashful' expression and continued, "I feel like this video might be talking about what happened to me back then."

"???????"

The others looked at Joseph with faces full of bewilderment.

"Old man, you're not joking, are you?" Jotaro looked at Joseph with some surprise.

"Doesn't that mean we'll know the video content in advance?!" Polnareff, on the other hand, was quite happy; he had been practicing the so-called Total Concentration Breathing since just a moment ago.

That Flame Breathing stuff was a piece of cake for him, but this so-called Total Concentration Breathing was actually making him feel a bit uncomfortable.

So, combined with the earlier attack by Dio's assassins, he temporarily stopped his breathing practice and started watching the video within the multiverse projection.

In the previous video, just a moment ago, the Stardust Crusaders were still lamenting the impermanence of life and death.

But now, Polnareff was very interested in Joseph's past experiences.

Kakyoin Noriaki and Avdol also showed interested expressions; after all, among those present...

Joseph could be said to be the oldest existence. He clearly possessed life-extending Hamon/ripple, yet he had given it up for the sake of his wife.

This old man could have enjoyed his later years in peace.

Yet, for the sake of his daughter, Mr. Joseph had taken to the field once again.

Whether it was Avdol, Kakyoin Noriaki, Polnareff, or Jotaro, they all held him in high respect.

Now Joseph was saying that this title very likely referred to an incident from his past.

How could they not be curious about what kind of person Joseph was in the past?

"Well~"

Joseph gave a mysterious smile and continued, "Allow me to keep you in suspense. If it's not me, then I'll tell you in detail later."

Everyone nodded slightly, raising no objections.

The video began to play.

An ancient mural appeared on the screen.

In the background, a male voice rang out.

"A long, long time ago, an omnipotent being thirsted for power."

"He could live like the birds and dwell in the same places as the fish."

"He could breathe like the trees and move like the water."

"However, he could not run beneath the sun, so he created the stone mask."

"If one day he can become friends with the sun, the world shall be his!!!"

As the narration concluded, the scene shifted slightly. A stone mask inlaid with the red stone appeared, and it had already been put on by a 'person'.

Boom—!!

Purple light shot out from a device resembling a 'cannon', all of it shining upon the man wearing the stone mask inlaid with the red stone.

?!

In that instant, three people appeared. They wore extremely shocked expressions, clearly having never expected this scene.

Oh no!!! This is bad!!!!"

A large man in a military uniform showed a look of disbelief.

The BGM suddenly kicked in!

'Awaken, my masters!!!!!'

Hum—!!! Bzzzt—!!!

On the other side, the man wearing the stone mask with the red stone underwent an earth-shattering transformation. His bones poked through his skin, and he emitted a multicolored light that shone upon the people in front of him.

"I... I didn't know! He actually kept the stone mask hidden on him!! And he even inlaid the red stone!!"

The man in the military uniform was named Straizo, and he was a German soldier.

His expression at this moment was quite a sight, because he was the one who had ordered the attack. As it turned out, the order he gave had led to the enemy's goal being achieved.

This caused the soldier to feel immense regret!!

"Oh my god..."

On the other side, Speedwagon, wearing his hat, also showed a look of sheer terror.

"Kars..."

And one of the protagonists of this inventory video, Joseph Joestar, also slightly widened his mouth, wearing an expression of extreme shock.

Crack—!!!

Not long after their shock, the stone mask shattered. The being Joseph Joestar called 'Kars' seemed to have undergone some kind of metamorphosis.

At this moment, he seemed to see the'starry sky' and witnessed his own growth.

...

The perspective slowly shifted. Kars regained consciousness and slowly straightened his body. Fragments of the red stone of aja and the stone mask were stuck to his face.

At this moment, Kars's expression seemed somewhat blank, as if he couldn't grasp the current situation for a moment.

After standing up completely, the red stone of aja fell from Kars's face, landing on the ground not far away.

"Aaaaaah..."

"He... he stood up!!!"

The soldiers were terrified. Not just them, but Joseph and the others as well.

Everyone looked at Kars in horror, not understanding what this terrible enemy had just gone through.

"Don't panic!! German soldiers never panic!!!" Straizo shouted loudly. Although he was also very flustered right now, he could only force himself to calm down.

On the other side, Kars looked at his hand, which still bore the marks of being 'burned'.

"Ultimate Life Form? How is it possible... how could some perfect creature be created?"

Straizo's tone was very frantic, because he was someone who knew how powerful Kars was. Once given enough time to develop, he would trample over the entire world.

Furthermore, there were rumors that after obtaining the red stone of aja, he could become the legendary Ultimate Life Form.

Although he didn't know what the Ultimate Life Form was actually like—after all, Straizo had never seen one—Kars was already this strong now.

If he were to become even stronger, not to mention anything else, as long as he didn't fear sunlight, he would be like a ghostly assassin. No person or place could stop him.

"Look!"

At this moment, Straizo seemed to see something and pointed at Kars, saying, "That guy's arm! Smoke from the Hamon/ripple wound is still rising! It's constantly spreading into his body!"

"He's melting from the Hamon/ripple!! Even after wearing the stone mask with the red stone, he hasn't changed a bit from before! He's going to die just like this!!"
