In JOJO's Golden Wind, the youthfully spirited Cioccolata is a beast who takes pleasure in slaughtering others.
Both are beasts, but Cioccolata and Obito are two different types.
Obito's reason for becoming a beast:
"Since you are not in this world, I will destroy this world… I will create a world with Rin."
"Rin was once my only light, and after losing her, the world I saw turned into a dark hell."
"The real world is too painful, what's so bad about living in the illusion of the Infinite Tsukuyomi."
Cioccolata's reason for becoming a beast:
"Hehe~ It's fun!"
To deal with the protagonist group led by Giorno, he unleashed the Green Day ability, turning the entire city of Rome into a living hell, with tens of thousands dying in despair from fungal infection.
He, with the assistance of his subordinate "Secco," recorded the entire process of people dying with a camera.
Rather than saying Cioccolata and Secco were following their boss's orders, it's more like they used this as an excuse to vent their own twisted desire to kill.
The duo of Cioccolata and Secco were subordinates even the scummy boss Diavolo found repulsive and feared.
"According to the original description, once Green Day's ability is activated, it can spread Limitlessly—
Because the fungus is real, as long as someone is infected and escapes while alive, wherever they go will become the next infection zone.
Only by climbing can one avoid being infected."
However, during the battle in Rome, Secco, as his partner, was unaffected by Green Day's fungal spread.
When Linto saw this part of the plot, he pondered a question:
Can Cioccolata control the fungus to not attack allies?
If allies were immune, Linto would have fewer concerns when using it.
Linto summoned Green Day and carefully sensed the details of its abilities, and soon he understood.
Allies cannot be immune.
Besides the Stand User himself, at close range, who can manipulate himself to not be attacked by the fungus, all Green Day can do is to activate and deactivate the fungus.
Secco's immunity to the fungal infection might be because his entire body was covered by his Stand's uniform, or because he was always hidden underground, using the soil to isolate himself from the fungus.
But this ability cannot be replicated.
Green Day is a truly indiscriminate, Limitless range, Limitless duration killing ability.
A king has a king's talent, a chef has a chef's skill.
Stands have no good or evil, it depends on how the Stand User uses them.
Green Day's ability can indeed become one of Linto's trump cards in some special situations.
"But no matter how it's used, one can never be too careful with this Stand."
Once the fungus accidentally leaks, even if Linto reacts and terminates the ability in time, it could still cause the deaths of a large number of innocent people in just a few seconds.
First Cheap Trick, then Green Day…
Linto scratched his face, feeling that something was a bit off today.
"Maybe it's just my imagination?"
"Why are all these disgusting villains' "underworld" Stands appearing today?"
Should I continue?
Linto rode his horse and thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth.
"Gacha!"
Linto refused to believe it.
Two hundred and forty… two hundred and fifty… three hundred…
At four hundred and twenty draws, the "item obtained" notification appeared again.
Linto prayed in his heart, "Please, don't give me another villain Stand."
Ding ding ding ding ding.
Five stars!
Here it comes!
Linto stared intently at the starlight, and in the next second, as the light faded, a gray-white mask hovered in mid-air.
Item Name: Stone Mask
Five Stars.
Owners: Kars / Dio Brando
Description: A special item invented by Kars, a member of the ancient race, the Pillar Men.
Upon contact with blood, the Stone Mask will extend bone needles to pierce the wearer's brain, stimulating their potential and transforming them into a vampire. This grants superhuman strength and recovery abilities, along with a thirst for blood and a fear of sunlight.
If a special gem, the Aja Stone, is embedded, it can guide a Pillar Man to evolve into an ultimate being that fears no sunlight.
Note: "I reject my humanity!"
Linto looked at Cheap Trick, Green Day, and the Stone Mask, and fell into thought.
Alright, alright, alright.
They just threw the villain's trifecta at him.
The moment he saw the Stone Mask, Linto thought of an impossible-to-counter use—
Using the Stone Mask to create a legion of loyal vampires who, at night, would carry Cheap Trick and use their own powerful life force to hunt down strong individuals.
During the day, they would return to Linto's underground demon palace, with Green Day's fungus surrounding the palace. Anyone who dared to intrude would be infected by the fungus and, upon descending into the underground palace, would be corroded into碎肉 (mutilated flesh) and die.
Thinking of this, Linto smiled.
Humans do laugh when they are extremely speechless.
He asked for some trump cards, and he got three Stands that are normally inconvenient to use, truly bottom-of-the-barrel trump cards.
He said he didn't want disgusting villain Stands anymore, and then a five-star villain item appeared.
Linto shook his head and took out the Stone Mask, the last item he obtained from the system.
According to the system's reminder, it had two owners: the creator Kars and the user Dio, meaning this Stone Mask turned Dio from a human into an immortal vampire.
"For me, the Stone Mask's purpose… might only be to embed it with the Aja Stone, thereby further stimulating my physical potential."
Linto could not abandon his currently powerful body to become a vampire.
He also could not use the Stone Mask on his own side.
Putting aside the characteristic of fearing sunlight, based on the performance in the JOJO series, those who turn into vampires will greatly stimulate their desire to eat people.
Even Hamon users who have practiced Hamon for many years cannot control this desire after becoming vampires.
This shows that this change is not a psychological one, but a rewrite truly at the brain level.
"But I am not a Pillar Man."
Linto analyzed his own situation:
"Kars just needed the amplified sunlight from the Aja Stone to become the ultimate being.
I am different; relying solely on the power of the sun can only amplify my Hamon. I still need natural energy of the same level.
That is to say…"
"Dragon Veins."
"And a perfect Dragon Vein, not the incomplete version that exploded today."
Only when the perfect Dragon Vein, the Aja Stone, and the Stone Mask are all gathered can Linto further enhance his body's power and become an indestructible ultimate being like Kars.
However, with the current broken Dragon Vein having exploded, waiting for nature to repair it is a distant prospect.
As for the Aja Stone, it's unknown how long it will take to draw it from the vast system interface.
Linto shook his head.
"Looking on the bright side, at least I've gathered one-third of the conditions for advancement. The rest is up to fate."
Four hundred and twenty draws, two five-star items, one four-star item.
Cheap Trick provided Linto with a new, unexpected way to trick people.
Green Day compensated for Linto's lack of large-scale attack methods and provided a better way to deal with enemies with regenerative abilities.
If he fought White Snake Sage again, Linto might not need to be so troubled. Just spreading the fungus would halve White Snake Sage's self-healing ability, making it easier to kill him.
The only thing to be careful about is to keep it far away from allies when using it.
The final Stone Mask provided Linto with a direction for Hamon advancement.
"It's not a loss."
Linto reassured himself and closed the system interface with a raise of his hand.
He didn't plan to draw anymore.
With today's momentum, who knows if he'll get a "Notorious B.I.G." next.
"Lord Linto, we've arrived," Amber pointed ahead.
Linto looked up; about ten meters away, there was a village of several hundred people.
At this moment, the village was in disarray, clearly having been affected by the previous earthquake and explosion.
A woman in her early thirties, with a dignified and beautiful appearance, was directing villagers to clear fallen supplies and rescue those trapped under the rubble.
Just then, dust swirled, and collapsed houses were slowly lifted by sand particles. Villagers buried underneath cried out as they were freed and embraced their families outside, weeping.
Queen Sara sensed the Chakra fluctuations, looked back, and a pair of beautiful, light purple eyes reflected Linto's figure on the horse.
