Crossover Anime: I Became Invincible Starting as an Ajin

Chapter 137 Approaching Dior

Finally, it was Wang Bai's turn to draw a card once again.

He picked up the cards, but instead of immediately stating the positions, he looked at Darby and slowly asked, "Mr. Darby, do you believe in possibility?"

Darby was taken aback, not understanding why Wang Bai suddenly asked this question.

Just then, Wang Bai gently placed the cards on the table, still without turning them over.

"This card is the Ace of Spades. It should have been the 15th card."

Wang Bai's voice had a strange magnetism. "But in my memory," I slightly altered its position. Now, in my heart, it's number one.

"Nonsense!"

Darby said sternly.

"How could memories be altered! A game under the supervision of Osiris allows no supernatural cheating!"

"This is not cheating."

Wang Bai smiled slightly, the power of his artistic conception flowing subtly, not directly affecting the cards or the game, but strengthening his own beliefs, while interfering with Darby's perception and judgment in an extremely subtle way.

"This is a perception." I firmly believe that what I see is the Ace of Spades on the first card. So, in your perception, where exactly is it?

Wang Bai's words, combined with his unfathomable calm, were like a boulder thrown into Darby's heart lake! For the first time, Darby's confidence in "absolute rules" and "observation," upon which he depended for survival, began to waver.

He tried desperately to recall, but found that his memory of the position of the Ace of Spades was indeed somewhat hazy! Was it the 15th card? Or—had he really been influenced by the other party?

"No—it can't be! It's the 15th card! It must be!" Darby shouted, somewhat losing his composure.

"Then, let's open it and take a look," Wang Bai gestured.

Darby's hands trembled as he turned over the card—the Ace of Spades!

"Where is it located?" Wang Bai pressed.

"It—it—"

Darby stared at the Ace of Spades, his mind a complete mess. His memory of its position had been utterly confused by the mental pressure deliberately instigated by Wang Bai and his own fear!

He couldn't be sure! For the first time, he began to doubt his own abilities!

"I—I can't remember—" Darby said dejectedly, his face pale.

For a gambler, especially one who relies on absolute memory and composure, losing control of their memory is tantamount to losing everything.

"In other words, you cannot accurately state the location," Wang Bai calmly declared. "According to the rules, you have lost."

"No—!" Darby cried out in terror.

But the rules of Osiris are merciless. The outcome of the wager is decided!

"Buzz—!"

Osiris let out a mournful cry, and Darby's Soul Collector trembled violently. All the souls he had won, including Polnareff's, flew out and turned into points of light, returning to their respective bodies.

"Aaaaaah!"

Darby himself seemed to have all his strength drained away, collapsing to the ground. His soul was forcibly extracted by the god Osiris, turning into a small puppet that fell into Wang Bai's hands.

He paid the price for his greed and arrogance.

Polnareff jolted, his eyes regaining their focus. He gasped for breath, still shaken, as he looked at Darby lying on the ground and Wang Bai, who was playing with Darby's spirit doll.

"Wang Bai! You—you beat him?!"

Wang Bai put away Darby's soul doll, stood up, and said calmly, "Just lucky. Next time, don't be so impulsive, Polnareff."

When the two returned, they were met with a scolding from Joestar: "Hey, where have you two been?!"

"You just said you were going to buy some drinks, why did it take you so long!"

Wang Bai waved his hand and pointed at Polnareff: "It's all because this guy fell for the enemy Stand user's provocation and got tricked."

Joestar: Why is it Polnareff again? This guy is just too unlucky!

Jotaro was speechless, but seeing that they had all returned, he figured the enemy had been defeated.

Iggy's way of welcoming him was still quite unique; he hugged Polnareff's face and then mocked him mercilessly with a fart.

"You wretched, vicious dog!"

Polnareff roared, and Iggy, having eaten something, smelled particularly foul this time.

Then, the two of them continued to fight using stunt doubles.

However, facing a Stand that is well-controlled, Polnareff is clearly the one who gets beaten up.

During the playful interaction between the man and his dog, Wang Bai had the Shadow Legion bring over some drinks and move over tables and chairs.

While sipping his drink, Joestar said to the group, "We're very close to Dio now, and we should be able to meet him soon."

"This distance is now enough for my Stand, Hermit Purple, to be used to its fullest potential."

"That is, finding Dio's location."

Joestar pulled out a high-end camera and smashed it down hard, leaving the passersby stunned.

In this day and age, cameras are expensive and rare items that not everyone can afford.

Especially in Egypt, Joestar's action was like someone destroying something worth a fortune, which was hard to understand.

But at this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the photos that were about to appear.

That photo will show the important information: Dior's location!

Crunch, crunch—

The damaged camera slowly produced photos.

As time goes by, colors appear in the photograph.

Upon seeing the photo, Joestar immediately frowned and exclaimed in surprise.

"What is this?"

The others crowded around and saw a white cat-like creature with red, ball-shaped eyes in the center of the picture, with an ancient Egyptian-style house behind it.

"This is--!!!"

Wang Bai recognized it immediately—wasn't that QB?!

As expected, Dio and the Stand are indeed related to the Incubator civilization.

Is this a new action they're taking after adapting to this world?

Moreover, looking at the photos, Wang Bai sensed that the Incubator civilization had sensed their arrival and Joestar's use of the Hermit's Purple, and was therefore trying to stop them.

Most of the scene was obscured, making it impossible to see the house in its entirety; only some corners were visible.

"Damn it, why did this strange animal appear? Could it be related to Dio that caused it to appear?"

Joestar asked in confusion, wanting to use Hermit's Purple again, as he had brought more than one camera this time.

After all, given the SPW Group's resources, this camera could be used as a disposable item.

But even after he used up the second and third, until all the stock was gone, he still hadn't seen the whole house.

Even more surprisingly, QB got closer and closer to the photo, gradually obscuring the entire image.

At that moment, everyone realized what was happening.

This strange animal is the key to Dio's efforts to stop them from investigating.

"Damn it, now we don't know where the other side is."

"Not necessarily!"

Wang Bai's sudden words surprised everyone.

"I see that the corners around this photo look quite old, which proves that this house must have a very long history."

"Then we've narrowed it down to the old town. Once we find groups of buildings that are over fifty years old, and gradually investigate, we'll be able to locate them!"

In the afternoon in Cairo, Egypt, the sun was scorching, making the air seem slightly distorted.

After navigating through a maze of streets and alleys brimming with life, a relatively desolate area comes into view.

After a long search, the group finally discovered a magnificent yet dilapidated mansion with a strong Victorian style, standing there abruptly like a huge ghost crawling in the yellow sand and ruins.

The towering wrought iron fence was rusted, and the plants in the courtyard grew wildly due to neglect, exuding an atmosphere of death.

This is the most likely place for Dior.

Wang Bai frowned, a sense of worry beginning to creep into his heart.

In a world where the Incubator civilization has intervened, is it really possible to defeat Dio like in the original work?

He is now merely a split entity, and the little remaining energy of the Imaginary Tree within his body has been used to navigate his main body.

Seriously, why did the Incubator Civilization go so far?!

"This is it."

"Joseph Joestar said in a deep voice, his self-scanning sharply across the ominous building.

An invisible pressure permeated the air, mixed with ancient dust and a faint, almost imperceptible smell of blood.

Jotaro Kujo pulled his white school cap down low, his eyes beneath the brim as sharp as a hawk's.

"Yare yare daze————" he muttered under his breath, and took the lead in walking towards the huge iron gate that was tightly closed and seemed to separate two worlds.

Muhammad Abudir and Kakyoin Noriaki stood on either side of him, vigilantly watching their surroundings.

Wang Bai walked slightly behind, seemingly casually, but the power of his artistic conception had already quietly unfolded, sensing any discordant energy fluctuations in the environment.

His shadow, under the blazing Egyptian sun, seemed deeper than that of ordinary people.

Just as they were about ten meters away from the iron gate, a short, flustered figure suddenly darted out from behind a stone pillar in the mansion's porch!

He was wearing an exaggerated Arabic-style turban and clutching a book with a brightly colored cover and childlike illustrations in his arms; it was Boingo.

He glanced at Jotaro and the others in alarm, then, like a startled rabbit, threw the book in his hand to the ground. Without looking back, he scrambled back into the shadows of the mansion and disappeared.

The book that had been left on the ground lay open quietly.

The title on the cover is exceptionally eye-catching—"The Prophecy of Thoth".

"What is that?" Kakyoin frowned, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

As if in response to his question, the open book of prophecy, without wind, began to turn its pages with a rustling sound, eventually settling on a particular page. On that page, simple yet clear lines outlined the future that was about to unfold—

On screen, Jotaro Kujo is clutching his shoulder with a pained expression on his face, and the background behind him is exactly the same as where everyone else is right now!

Next to the prophecy was a brief note: "An unavoidable bullet will pierce the left shoulder of the star."

"Jotaro! Watch out!" Joseph warned sharply, and the vines of Hermit Purple instantly spread out from his arm.

Almost at the same instant the prophecy manifested, "Bang!"

A crisp gunshot rang out from a second-floor window of an abandoned building in the distance!

A bullet, imbued with a deep blue energy and entirely composed of Stand abilities, defied the constraints of physical laws, tracing a bizarre arc that was absolutely impossible and utterly contrary to ballistics!

It was like a living thing, bypassing all possible obstacles and interception routes, and shot with perfect accuracy at Jotaro's left shoulder!

"Euro!"

Star Platinum appeared instantly, accurately judging the trajectory of the bullet, and its huge fist, carrying the force to tear through the air, swung towards the energy bullet!

Logically, this punch should have been enough to shatter the bullet prematurely.

However, just as Platinum Star's fist was about to touch the bullet, the energy bullet made a barely perceptible secondary refraction in the air, exceeding the limits of physics!

It glided past the edge of the Platinum Star's punch like a slippery fish!

"What?!" Jotaro's pupils contracted.

"Pfft!"

The energy bullet struck precisely the location predicted in the prophecy—Jotaro's left shoulder!

A burning, stinging sensation instantly shot through him, and blood quickly stained his school uniform.

"Jotaro!" Joseph and Kakyoin exclaimed simultaneously.

"Hahaha! It hit the mark! Did you see that, Jotaro! The prophecy cannot be changed!"

"My partnership with Boingo is invincible!"

From a distant building window, Hol Hol laughed triumphantly, raising his Stand Emperor once more and aiming at Jotaro, whose movements were halted due to his injury.

"The next shot will kill you!"

However, what he failed to see was that Boingo's comic books had changed once again.

A soldier made of shadows appeared beside Horhos.

Jotaro gritted his teeth, clutching his bleeding shoulder with his right hand, but his eyes grew even more ferocious and cold.

"asshole----"

Just as Hol Hols was about to pull the trigger again, something unexpected happened!

Wang Bai, who had been standing silently at the back, had a cold glint in his eyes.

He didn't even make any obvious movements, but from the shadows beneath his feet, a pitch-black shadow soldier shot out like a ghost!

Its speed was incredibly fast. It didn't move in a straight line, but instead traversed the path of the shadows cast by the buildings, covering a distance of tens of meters in an instant, and appeared directly at the window where Hol Hols was!

"What the hell is that?!"

Hol Hols felt a sudden darkness before his eyes as a faceless, shadowy humanoid figure lunged at him, its short blade, formed from shadow, piercing his face with chilling killing intent!

Hol Holmes was terrified and forgot all about firing. He rolled backward in a panic, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

He watched in horror as the shadowy soldier, having missed his target, slowly sank into the shadows of the room and disappeared, his back instantly soaked with cold sweat.

"Monsters! These guys are monsters!"
