However, even a saint can only protect the system to a certain extent with his own power. He cannot completely protect the Stand system after his intervention, let alone the parts that were fixed before his intervention.
Before the intervention of the sages, the substitutes related to foreseeing the future had already been completely locked and controlled by the gods. Once the prophecy was made, the part that was prophesied would be collapsed by the gods into a single future direction.
At this point, as long as humanity doesn't use Stands to carry out prophecies, the future...
One's fate is not fixed; it still holds a great deal of possibility. One can take a gamble and try to change their destiny through hard work and effort.
Until the modern era, the century-long history of blood feud between Dior and the Joestar family began.
From the time of the saint's death to the modern era, the gods continued to create more Stands, but no time-related Stands appeared during this period. Dio's World and Jotaro's Star Platinum are considered to be the first Stands on Earth with time-related abilities.
This attracted the special attention of the gods.
As time passed, what ultimately ended the fated relationship between the Joestar family and Dio was the priest's final Stand, which could accelerate time through gravity.
This Stand, named Paradise Made, became the final lock that strangled the fate of both humanity and Stands!
Chapter 409 Ultraman Tiga, who suffered the same treatment as Huang Zhen, should just admit defeat!
Made in Paradise.
That's a Stand with the ability to accelerate time, evolved from the normal White Snake Stand's third stage to its peak, powerful enough to influence the entire universe.
It's not surprising that they can affect the entire universe. Jotaro and Dio's time stop, and the boss's "King Crimson" time erasure, are basically cosmic in scope.
The fact that Stands can influence the entire universe does not mean they are terrifying, because Stands do not achieve this through sheer power, but rather by adjusting concepts to achieve this effect.
Time stop and time deletion have their own value, but that value is a concept that touches the realm of gods. In terms of hard power, this kind of practice that affects the entire universe is not even as valuable as the Stand [Weather Forecast], which actually changes the weather on a city-level scale. That is a true numerical manifestation.
Similarly, the fact that Heaven's creation can accelerate the entire universe is not a reflection of numerical strength, but rather a clever trick.
The acceleration created by Heaven cannot affect even half a living thing; it can only accelerate inanimate objects.
In other words, in essence, the power of Heaven's Creation is no more powerful or noble than that of Star Platinum. However, in reality, Jotaro was defeated by the priest who possessed Heaven's Creation with virtually no power to resist.
The real difference between the two sides lies in their endurance.
Activating any Stand ability requires consuming the Stand user's mental energy; this is an ironclad rule, except for Stands of the Afterlife Nen type.
What limits the power of Stands is human willpower. Even Jotaro, at his peak, one of the strongest humans with the most outstanding willpower, could not stop his time for more than a few seconds.
How come the priest was able to fight without any exhaustion, and become stronger and stronger after evolving, with his acceleration ability directly activated, from one speed, two speeds, and step by step directly to infinite speed, so fast that it could restart the entire universe?
This is undoubtedly an inconceivable phenomenon for a Stand user. How could Heaven create such a powerful ability without consuming the Stand user?
There will naturally be consumption.
The possibility of creating infinite acceleration in Heaven was originally only theoretical. With the priest's own mental strength, the speed could only be accelerated to a few dozen times at most. Moreover, if he were to accelerate to that extent, he might even be exhausted and forced to the brink of death.
But just as the priest was evolving Heaven's creation, all the gods noticed the potential of this substitute.
Or rather, before the priest evolved the creation of Heaven, they already valued him highly, which is why they used their power time and time again to stir up the winds of fate, making all the efforts of the Joestar family futile, and instead becoming messengers who supported the priest's ascension to Heaven.
Infinite acceleration, anchoring the fate of the entire world, and then restarting the universe?
If the priest truly fulfills this long-cherished wish, it means that these gods can achieve omniscience over all three-dimensional life, and at the same time, fix the fate of everyone on Earth.
As long as Heaven's creation is used again and again, and accelerated restarts are carried out time and time again, Earth's fate will become more and more fixed, and there will be no more unexpected substitutes. The substitutes will become just ordinary people, getting further and further away from the realm of the gods.
The mental energy required for Heaven to create that ability of infinite acceleration was provided and grafted from behind the scenes by the gods, which is why the priest was able to use this ability infinitely!
Jotaro Kujo is indeed a very tenacious human being. Even though the gods have been casting a torrent of misfortune upon him and using the power of fate to assist the priest, the priest has still been forced into dangerous situations many times.
Fortunately, no matter how tenacious Jotaro Kujo was, he was ultimately just a human being. The limitations of his mental strength prevented him from seizing many opportunities to win, and in the end, the priest had the last laugh.
Throughout the entire story, Jotaro Kujo only had one chance of winning, and that was the very first time, before the priest evolved into the creation of Heaven. If Jotaro Kujo had won that time, the fate of the world might not have been so fixed.
If this initial attempt fails, then no matter how many times it is repeated, Jotaro Kujo will never have any other possible ending.
But under the influence of misfortune, this invincible man ultimately failed.
So, after that accelerated reboot, until Tiga arrived here...
So far in this world, although the gods haven't calculated it, it's certain that the number of accelerated restarts has been numerous—so numerous that the fates of humans and their substitutes have been completely anchored. (Fantasy Princess updates fastest.)
This is why Giorno and his friends would immediately encounter various natural and man-made disasters as soon as they had the idea of leaving Italy. Giorno was bound to throw the punch that Bucciarati had, and Giorno was bound to drink Abbacchio's tea.
Because these things have already happened countless times, so many that they have become completely inevitable, there is no need for the gods to exert their power; inertia itself will prevent them from happening in every way.
Before Daigo became Ultraman Tiga, all the misfortunes were simply imposed by the inertia of fate.
It was only after the appearance of Ultraman Tiga, this new god from elsewhere, that the gods were drawn to him, making them aware of such a tremendous upheaval that had never occurred in any previous cycle of reincarnation. This led to the appearance of meteorites, dark clouds, and lightning strikes as obstacles.
Unfortunately, time was too short, and Tiga flew too fast. They were also used to the fixed fate created by Heaven and couldn't immediately switch gears. They couldn't all immediately unleash their strongest fighting power, which allowed Tiga to successfully break through fate and take Giorno and the others out of Italy.
Although it is only a small change, a change is a change, and now, the inertia of fate will suddenly crack.
To fill this gap, the gods will have to, as before, use Heaven's creation to restart the system multiple times, reinforcing the constraints on the fate of the Stands.
And these are the deepest mysteries of this world that the gods are now explaining to Ultraman Tiga.
As fellow travelers, Giorno and his companions could not understand the voices of the gods, but with Tiga listening nearby and transmitting these messages to them without loss of quality, Giorno and the others also learned of everything.
They were all numb.
According to this theory, the gods have only ever targeted the substitutes; what happens to humans is irrelevant. They only suffer undeserved calamities because they possess this potential, and are thus punished for possessing a treasure.
However, even if the potential Stand user belongs to another alien race, the universe's fate will still be predetermined. In that case, humans without Stand potential will still be affected. Kaka
There are no undeserved disasters; they are essentially caused by the selfishness and willfulness of overly powerful gods who can arbitrarily distort everything.
A group of people from the motherland who don't eat beef treat only those of equal status and power as equals. That's how they treat inferior three-dimensional beings.
The reason they are patiently explaining the whole story to Ultraman Tiga is simply because they feel that Tiga is qualified to be one of them and want to persuade him to join them and not stand against them.
And what was Ultraman Tiga's answer?
Giorno looked up, staring blankly at the mysterious giant of light.
This giant of light is so magnificent, vast, powerful, and all-encompassing. Compared to those gods who are as unapproachable as Cthulhu, Ultraman Tiga is more in line with the concept of a god that humanity wants to see.
However, despite his immense power, Tiga was alone, and at this moment he was still in a visibly damaged state.
There's no chance of winning if a fight breaks out.
"I understand."
Tiga narrowed his eyes, "You all set up a scheme to make the entire universe fall and be bound just because you felt your authority was challenged, and you still think it's justified. That's too selfish, it's simply vicious!"
"We understood it too."
The gods hummed, "You are a heretic, an outcast... Giant of Light, as beings of such high standing as ourselves, how dare you pity insignificant humans? This is a disgrace to the gods! You must desensitize yourself! We must make you understand that humans, such inferior beings, are not worthy of your favor. You must change yourself!"
The gods were angry.
The "saint" among them who once betrayed them, at least liked a substitute, a demigod who had ventured into the realm of gods.
But now, as another foreign god equal to them, he has actually stooped so low as to like humans and want to stand up for them?
This is absolutely infuriating!
If Ultraman Tiga is allowed to continue like this, what will become of the dignity of these gods? We must use swift and decisive measures to forcefully dismantle Ultraman Tiga's current morbid cognition and pathological mentality!
Tiga focused intently, ready to unleash his first and final suicidal attack using the last vestiges of his energy. He stared at the so-called gods, wary of their next move: "What are you going to do?"
"Fighting is unnecessary!"
The gods replied, “Our overwhelming numbers give us overwhelming power. In fact, given your current state of being so severely injured that you cannot even sustain yourself for another second, we don’t even need to fight you. You will already bring about your own destruction.”
"Since you refuse to join us, you've essentially cut yourself off from us. Don't even think about getting our help or treatment. Next, Giant of Light, you, whose cognitive bias has led you to love humanity, will be exposed to a hell we've tailored just for you. Enjoy it and then repent."
"Until you can't take it anymore and have a mental breakdown, even then, we won't give you a quick death. Instead, we'll continue to torture you, making you wish you were dead. Hahaha."
Hahaha! "
"--Oops!"
Tiga and Giorno immediately realized what was going on.
This misfortune did not stem from a threat from the gods, but from their discovery of a difference in time scales.
There are too many gods. After experiencing the betrayal of the "saint", they were never confident that Tiga would definitely join them, so they made backup plans.
While some of the gods were outlining those past secrets, others quietly separated this region from the rest of the world.
In the short time that the gods spent explaining things here, just like in the story of the game of Rotten Chess, the outside world had already changed...
The fifth installment, Golden Wind, has reached the point where the sixth installment, Stone Ocean, is about to conclude.
This round was already ruined, and the gods were already preparing for the next round, so they couldn't be bothered with so many fixed fates anymore. Therefore, for the first time in so many cycles, the boss escaped a calamity and did not fall into the hands of the Golden Experience Requiem, which can be called the happiest time.
Now, the boss has escaped unscathed, but it's the people here who will suffer.
"Did you hear that, Giant of Light? The rhythm of this most useful tool! Listen, and see—time is about to accelerate!"
Heavenly Manufacturing has begun!
In an instant, everyone present understood the thoughts of these deities.
Although Tiga, possessing true divine power, will not be affected by the trickery of the universe reboot, Giorno and the others will be. When Made in Heaven accelerates to reboot the universe again, they will all be immediately forced to return to their rightful places and do what they are supposed to do.
And they will also forget what they have seen and heard here at this moment.
The remaining giants of light could only watch this situation with great heartache. Even if they wanted to lead them to break free from the shackles of fate, they would be constantly blocked by a total of four hundred gods, making it impossible for them to do so again.
It's like Sisyphus's boulder; they are that boulder, the mountaintop is freedom, and Ultraman Tiga is Sisyphus. (Second chapter)
Even if Sisyphus were replaced by a powerful giant of light, there would still be four-figure numbers of equally powerful gods overseeing and intervening on the mountain, at its foot, and along every stretch of the mountain path, so the boulder would never be pushed to the top of the mountain.
Ultraman can only feel heartbroken but cannot achieve his goal, and whenever he tries but does not receive enough reward, the gods will show a satisfied smile.
With Heaven creating this tool, the gods can even repeat the same scene over and over again, allowing Ultraman Tiga to see the exact same person dying in the same way each time. Each time, they have to lend a helping hand, seemingly within reach, but each time they are too far away to arrive in time.
This is even more painful than being trapped in the Golden Experience Requiem.
Unless Ultraman Tiga voluntarily admits defeat, bows his head, and begs for the forgiveness of the gods, perhaps there will be a day when he is freed.
Before he begs for mercy, as long as he still cares about humanity, he will only suffer this endless cycle of torture!
The gods couldn't help but groan softly when they thought about the punishment they had set.
