Great, we're doomed now!

If you are not chosen by the arrow, even a fatal wound can be healed with the energy in the mark.

Even if we take a step back and say that the "arrow" is an instant death in the realm of metaphysics, it can still consume a mark to fix the soul and directly use resurrection magic!

Ye Shou suddenly realized that he had met the basic requirements to use resurrection outside the maze.

With this stand as a safety net, it's not just qualified people who can become stand users; anyone Ye Shou sets his sights on can become a stand user as long as he's willing to invest the time and effort!

In addition, the [Prosperous Country] can be used as a group buff in normal times, and can also add a "multiple health bar mechanism" to oneself and companions when necessary.

So although its attack power wasn't what Ye Shou wanted most (like the Void Miasma), but rather a pure attrition-based attack, Ye Shou was still quite satisfied overall.

However, Ye Shou was a little worried about whether the "growth potential A" would change in the future. It would be troublesome if it evolved in a direction he didn't want. There were examples of this before.

As for energy consumption... well, we can just open a few more "accounts" and "store" more energy! For us Olympians, the most important thing when we're out and about is knowing how to "borrow"!

Go back and mark Obik!

It's a pity that the Holy Grail Mark can only be sensed within the same world; otherwise, just by "extracting surplus value" from Obik, Ye Shou could dominate most worlds...

However, every loss has its gain. Because the marks of each world are calculated independently, even if Ye Shou uses up all his marks in the JOJO world, it will not prevent him from continuing to develop his business in the main world.

We'll have to do some experiments later to see how many marks he can make at most, and what conditions limit the number of marks.

"This is a cemetery... The old witch has really angered the whole town."

The original body lost consciousness, and the stand in the mist quickly dissipated. Polnareff walked over and carefully observed it. He breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that Granny Enya was not faking it and that she was indeed unable to get up again.

"do you died?"

"I hope not."

Ye Shou closed his eyes and pulled the restless [Prosperous Country] back into his body. He immediately felt a headache, but quickly recovered.

The ability of the Flame of Life can only be used freely with the support of the Holy Grail Mark. Moreover, the more marks there are, the greater the reserve energy and output power will be. When Ye Shou used it for the first time, he could only consume his own energy, and he was supposed to enter a period of weakness.

Fortunately, there's a transition effect that consumes about one-tenth of your life energy, and it's fully restored in one turn.

"This old woman is no ordinary person. There is a more powerful and evil being behind her. Fate will lead me to meet her... If only I could get some information before that happens."

"Other Stand users? Are they just as troublesome?" Popo tensed up as soon as he heard that.

Ye Shou smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, I will take my mother-in-law away from here. I will never let that darkness threaten this place. You and your family will be safe and sound."

“...Is that so?” Bobo’s eyes flashed, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn’t speak.

He paused, then changed the subject: "Women are difficult to deal with no matter their age. This mother-in-law looks mentally unstable, and you're her enemy. It won't be easy to get anything out of her."

“I do know a little about interrogation techniques.” Ye Shou’s eyes narrowed slightly, his expression intriguing, but Bobo didn’t see this through the power armor.

Truth serum, hypnotic devices, lie detectors... Ye Shou isn't a policeman, so he doesn't have that many rules and regulations. As long as the methods aren't against human nature, he won't feel any psychological pressure.

What good is loyalty to Dior?

I am not from the Joestar family, who are known for their respect for the elderly and love for the young, and for being gentlemen for generations!

In fact, J. Kyle's body contained not only a locator but also something that could send Granny Enya to heaven at any time. If it weren't for the need for intelligence and "arrows," Ye Shou would have already activated the C4 color wave and sped away!

“Polunarev, I’ll stay here and watch over her. Go check on the police.”

"Oh, I almost forgot! Uncle Pierre!"

Bobo slapped his forehead and hurriedly ran away, but there were too many corpses on the road, and he kept stepping on them, so he kept muttering apologies to himself.

Calmly watching him leave, Ye Shou suppressed his smile, opened his power armor, and stepped out. He then took out a silver metal tube from his "pocket," grabbed Granny Enya's hair, and poked it behind her neck.

Remove the cylinder; three tiny holes, each the size of a pinprick, are left. There is a faint bluish tinge under the skin; if you don't look closely, you would definitely mistake them for age spots.

Having been slashed by the "Prosperous Country," even if he survives, he will likely be extremely weak and probably won't have the ability to cause trouble. However, since he is Dio's guide and carries a powerful destiny, it's still best to be on guard.

In this way, unless Grandma Enya can run a hundred kilometers away in an instant, her life or death will be entirely in Ye Shouyi's hands!

Hey~

[Destiny Coins (Grandma Enya, DIO) +3]!

-

Did you fail?

"……Um?"

Enya, still half-conscious, opened her eyes and found herself lying on a luxurious Egyptian carpet, with a voice that intoxicated her.

"Lord Dior!"

Enya scrambled to her feet and knelt on the ground.

Meanwhile, a person sitting in the darkness deep inside the room crossed their legs and said with a hint of amusement:

"Didn't you get revenge for your son?"

"Yes……"

Just thinking about it made Granny Enya grit her teeth in hatred: "The enemy is very cunning and very powerful, but Lord Dio, rest assured, I have already seen what they look like. As long as we keep sending out assassins, we will definitely be able to eliminate them and comfort my son's spirit in heaven!"

"Hmph~ Interesting. What kind of guy has left you helpless? I'm a little curious too."

"Lord Dior wants to take action personally? No way! Absolutely not!"

How can an emperor waste his energy on such things? For you, the most important thing is to fully develop your Stand's power and completely dominate the world as soon as possible!

And...and..."

That person must absolutely not be allowed to meet Lord Dio!

The thought of the stand-in she saw in the final scene filled Granny Enya with a fear that seemed to originate from her very soul. Her intuition told her that if she allowed the stand-in to meet Lord Dio, fate would take a huge turn, and Lord Dio's ambitions would be affected!

At this moment, his loyalty to Dio even surpassed his hatred for Ye Shou.

"You don't need to worry about it. The Stand users I hired and recruited for you are perfectly capable of completing this task!"

[Lovers], [The High Priestess], [Empress], [Temperance]!

They are all top-notch experts, each with extensive experience and unique skills.

No one can stay vigilant 24/7. Once he reveals a weakness, the assassins will skin him alive!

"They're just a bunch of small fry; I don't think they're a match for that guy."

"How could that be? Putting aside others, [Pope] Mitra has an almost invincible clone; no one can escape her assassination attempts!"

Of course, Lord Dio is an exception, because he has already transcended humanity.

"Mitra...where are you now?"

"She likes to be around the Red Sea, and she should be..."

After Enya finished recounting the information about the Stand users, she suddenly frowned and belatedly looked around—Dio's room was always shrouded in darkness, so she hadn't noticed before, but upon closer inspection, it seemed a little different from what she remembered…

"Lord Dio, I remember being defeated by that wretched brat... How did I get back? Did you send someone to rescue me?"

"..."

"Dio... Lord?"

"Heh~ You noticed it pretty quickly this time."

Dior stood up and walked into the darkness behind him.

"See you next time, Grandma Enya."

"Lord Dior... no! You're not!"

Grandma Enya, who was still dazed, suddenly snapped to attention: "Who are you? Where is this place? Why am I... um, eh?"

Suddenly, a wave of dizziness washed over her, and Grandma Enya collapsed to the ground, her consciousness fading away.

"Could it be that you..."

-

In reality, in a hospital ward.

Ye Shou opened his eyes, took off his VR glasses, rubbed his nose, stood up from his chair, and took the opportunity to retrieve Grandma Enya's stealth device.

After several failures, Ye Shou's tone and wording were already very similar to what Enya remembered, and he had extracted a lot of information. However, she probably had some kind of intuition, as she always sensed something was wrong halfway through.

But Ye Shou believed he was close to breaking through her final mental barrier.

The only thing to be careful about is not to try it too frequently, since her life energy is already very weak, and even a shallow brainwashing would be too much of a burden.

Grandma Enya's defeat was not undeserved, given Ye Shou's absolute intelligence advantage.

He's always been someone who likes to be prepared, and before transmigrating, he even arranged for Mr. Silver Brando to do a recording job under the guise of work, using AI to capture his voice—though he didn't expect it to be used in this kind of situation at the time.

“Mitra, an Egyptian, has a minority religious belief due to family circumstances, and now…”

Ye Shou carefully noted down the intelligence he had obtained, reviewed it again, nodded, and put it away.

Perhaps because it was two or three years earlier than the main storyline, Dio's lineup was slightly different, but the most memorable main characters were all in place.

It's worth mentioning that among these people, no, these Stand users, besides Granny Enya, the most senior one is actually the peregrine falcon Petsha (Horus), and like Enya, he took a liking to Dio and came to him on his own.

dong dong!

"It's alright, come in."

Polunarev pushed open the door and entered, bringing with him Sheriff Pierre.

The policeman, who was quite frightened, first glanced at Grandma Enya with apprehension, then turned to Ye Shou, his gaze immediately softening.

"It's been dealt with. The official story will be that an underground natural gas leak caused a large number of police officers to faint, and some of them experienced hallucinations as a result."

Those bodies are a bit of a problem. Although it's said that the tomb was blown open, the traces at the scene are hard to explain... But my lads are very tight-lipped, so it will probably remain an unsolved case in the end.

Mr. Ye Shou, thank you for your contributions to this town. It is thanks to you that we were able to catch this witch who desecrated corpses!

The elders always say that Gypsies use strange witchcraft, and now I believe it… These outsiders are going to bring trouble!

Pierre spoke with resentment, but Ye Shou smiled indifferently.

The idea that Gypsies are petty thieves and secretive is a typical stereotype, just like how people associate Miao region with Gu poison.

"In that case, I'm relieved. But there's one thing... This old woman is extremely dangerous, as you can see. No matter what kind of prison we put her in, she'll probably escape."

"If I let her die here, the criminal forces behind her will come knocking, and the whole of Marseille will be thrown into chaos. It's better if I take her away."
