They traveled through time at the same time, but the villainous scientist

Chapter 75 Interlude
The following day, in a hotel in Cairo.

The atmosphere was a bit stagnant.

Joseph Joestar, Jotaro Kujo, Noriaki Kakyoin, and Polnareff huddled around a corner table, their eyes wary, glancing warily at another table not far away.

There, a long-haired man was enjoying his breakfast with an elegant demeanor.

Kaz had changed into a well-tailored casual outfit, exuding an indescribable air of nobility and composure in his every move.

The hotel guests around him would occasionally cast admiring glances at him and murmur their praises, clearly attracted by his outstanding appearance and demeanor.

This scene contrasted sharply with the tense atmosphere surrounding Joseph and his team, who appeared to be facing a formidable enemy.

"Jostas-san..."

"Is this guy... really as evil and powerful as you say?"

Polnareff lowered his voice, leaned forward slightly, and asked in a low voice.

He wasn't questioning whether Joseph was lying, but rather that what the other man was saying was simply too far-fetched.

Vampires, Pillar Men, and all that stuff—it's even more absurd than Stands…

Moreover, looking at Katz's elegant and noble appearance, and then thinking about the "Pillar Man" who brought endless despair in Joseph's story, he just couldn't reconcile the two.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Joseph Joestar frowned, his hand holding the coffee cup froze in mid-air, and a hint of uncertainty appeared on his face.

He recalled the bizarre conversation he had last night.

Kars clearly possesses the absolute power to instantly kill DIO and eliminate them all, yet in the end, he merely casually asks for some legal identification and... start-up capital?
This move really left his old heart, which had weathered countless storms, somewhat bewildered.

What exactly is this guy up to?

"Ugh! That's enough..."

Jotaro Kujo said something in a low voice, habitually pulling down the brim of his hat to cover most of his face.

He suddenly stood up, took long strides, and walked straight toward Katz's table.

"Hey! Jotaro!"

Joseph was startled and almost spilled his coffee.

Kakyoin and Polnareff were also taken aback, wondering what Jotaro was going to do.

Just as Jotaro approached Kars, a burly purple figure suddenly appeared beside him!

【Platinum Star】!
Without any warning, that fist the size of a clay pot, carrying a terrifying power capable of shattering diamonds, slammed straight toward Kaz's head!
fast!
too fast!
The air itself crackled and exploded from the punch!
However, faced with this earth-shattering attack, Kars didn't even raise his head.

He continued to slowly and methodically cut the food on the plate, only casually extending his right hand.

"Snapped!"

A soft sound.

The incomparably ferocious iron fist of [Platinum Star] was actually blocked by a seemingly ordinary palm with ease!

Extremely accurate!

Kaz's hand firmly caught the [Platinum Star]'s fist, remaining completely still.

Although he cannot see the so-called "stand" yet, thanks to the ultimate life form's extreme perception of airflow, the force and pressure generated by Star Platinum's punches are nowhere to be hidden from him.

"Nani?!"

"Isn't it?!"

Polnareff's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and he jumped up from his chair, staring at the scene in disbelief.

That's the Platinum Star!

A terrifying punch that can easily shatter even the hardest diamonds!
This man in front of me actually... actually caught it with his bare hands?!
"This is really..."

Kakyoin Noriaki rubbed his forehead, his eyes filled with surprise.

Last night, what this man named Katz displayed was more of a strange, unpredictable, and unpredictable special ability.

But what he is showing now is real, pure, and ultimate power!
Without using any fancy abilities, he withstood the full force of [Platinum Star]'s attack with his own physical body alone!
Is this the power of the ultimate life form...?

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!"

Jotaro raised an eyebrow slightly under the brim of his hat, seemingly somewhat surprised.

He slowly retracted the [Platinum Star], then unceremoniously pulled out the chair opposite Kaz and sat down.

"It seems that there really are such perfect beings in this world..."

Jotaro's voice was devoid of much emotion. He turned to the stunned Joseph and the others behind him and said:

"Old man! Since the other party possesses such overwhelming power, there's nothing to worry about."

"Oh? Have you made a decision?"

Kars elegantly wiped his mouth with a napkin before raising his head. His purple eyes calmly gazed at Jotaro Kujo before him, a faint smile playing on his lips.

As expected of the protagonist of the original comic, his decisiveness and courage are truly impressive.

"..."

Upon hearing Jotaro's words, Joseph Joestar was taken aback for a moment, then let out a heavy sigh, as if all his energy had been depleted, and slumped into his chair.

His grandson is right.

Faced with absolute power, any hesitation or wishful thinking seems utterly futile. They had no other choice.

Revolt?

What to resist?
Joseph took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound calm. He looked at Katz, his expression becoming incredibly resolute:

"Kaz, we can grant your request."

"But... I need to know what your true purpose is!"

"how?"

Upon hearing this, Kaz raised an eyebrow, his tone laced with a hint of laziness and mockery.
"If I said I wanted to rule the world, or use the Stone Mask here to create thousands upon thousands of vampire legions like DIO, would you be planning to bring them to stop me?"

He tapped the table lightly, his eyes gleaming with amusement.

The moment those words were spoken, the air tensed up again!

Joseph's heart skipped a beat, and his face turned pale.

Kars has the ability to create Stone Masks!
It can turn ordinary people into vampires like DIO, possessing immense power and long lifespans!
The mere exposure of this point is enough to cause a huge uproar in the entire human society!
After all, immortality, even with its huge side effects, is still an irresistible temptation for most mortals.

Not to mention, Kars himself possesses terrifying power beyond the limits of human imagination, the kind of power possessed by ultimate life forms...

If he actually does that, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Polnareff and Kakyoin Noriaki, who were standing nearby, also changed their expressions upon hearing this...

"If you really want to do that, just do it. There's no need to waste your breath arguing with us here."

Unexpectedly, Jotaro Kujo remained unfazed and even picked up the cola on the table and took a sip.

Just like he said.

If Kars really intends to wreak havoc on the world, their small group simply has no power to stop him.

"Haha! Looks like you've really gotten old, Joseph~"

"The idea of ​​ruling human society is just too boring."

Kaz chuckled softly as he looked at Joseph's nervous expression.

He shook his head slightly.

Although he inherited all of Kars' memories and abilities, he is not Kars himself.

Even the original Kars, from beginning to end, had no interest in the low-level pursuit of ruling humanity. All he wanted was to stand at the pinnacle of all life and conquer the sun.

"What I've always wanted to do is actually only one thing."

"That is, to figure out everything in this world that I don't yet know."

Katz's eyes deepened as he spoke to Joseph and the others.

This world is very interesting, not only because of the abilities of the ultimate life form itself, but also because of the phenomenon called Stands, both of which are worth studying.

Therefore, he needs a sufficiently advanced laboratory, as well as corresponding research equipment and materials...

This requires a lot of money...

While getting money is a minor issue for him, he needs legal identification and some start-up capital before that, nothing more.

Upon hearing these words, Joseph Joestar's tense nerves finally began to relax.

He let out a long sigh of relief, feeling that his back was a little damp.

Research?

It sounds... like it's not very harmful?
"Okay! I can accept your request!"

"We'll prepare your identification and start-up capital as soon as possible!"

Joseph nodded in agreement to Katz's request.

It must be said that the Speedy Foundation's efficiency is truly astonishing. In just the third day, Katz received a document containing various academic certificates, from birth to university graduation, and even medical records.

In addition, there are two million US dollars...

With these, Katz's operational efficiency became astonishingly high.

He quickly registered a company, and decisively chose the research and development and production of high-end medical supplies and biological agents as its main business focus.

Following this, several groundbreaking papers, enough to cause an earthquake in the biological and medical communities, were published in succession.

These papers are all authored by Katz.

Its advanced and groundbreaking content has shaken the entire academic community.

With its reputation and the amazing effects of its drugs, Katz's company quickly established itself in the market and rapidly gained fame.

Countless orders and cooperation intentions came in like snowflakes.

Katz, having secured ample funding and state-of-the-art experimental equipment, then devoted himself to the research.

at the same time.

Another world, the world of EVA.

Thanks to Zhang Qi's involvement and the cutting-edge technology he provided, the three parallel super biological computers [MAGI System] were completed a full year ahead of schedule in the original story.

Just as Zhang Qi began to consider his next plan, he unexpectedly received a message.

That was his direct supervisor on the project, Dr. Naoko Akagi, one of the developers of the MAGI system... who died.
