Great, we're doomed now!

A divine intervention? By airplane?

With you?

— Ye Shou hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"What do we need to prepare?" Polnareff reminded him. "Ordinary police officers or even the military are useless against Stand users."

"I have already instructed the SPW consortium to prepare dozens of high-powered ultraviolet irradiation devices, as well as multiple teams for blasting, demolition, and fire suppression."

Two Joe's inhuman words made Ye Shou feel very close to him: "Even if Dio becomes a Stand user, he is still a vampire in essence. He is doomed as long as he is exposed to the sun. We don't need to play cat and mouse with him. The best thing to do is to attack him head-on and destroy his house!"

"Is one day enough? Ye Shou said that he has also gathered quite a few Stand users in the underworld."

"So we need to launch a surprise attack. It's impossible for all of Dio's desperados to gather together. Once Abdru joins us, with my intelligence and his Stand—[Red Magician]—most of the enemies won't even have a chance to get close to us."

While it's not foolproof, as long as Dior gets into the sunlight, everything will be fine.

“What if he runs away?” Bobo made a digging gesture, “like a tunnel or something.”

"It's alright. Mr. Ye Shou's high-tech equipment can greatly enhance the clarity of [Hidden Purple]'s speech and writing—it can even create three-dimensional images. As long as he's within a city, he absolutely cannot escape!"

Joseph Joestar pulled his hat down low and said solemnly, "His body comes from my grandfather Jonathan Joestar. Even if it's just for the sake of my grandmother who raised me with such difficulty, I must avenge this blood debt!"

Ye Shou nodded repeatedly upon hearing this:

Joseph had considered things quite thoroughly, and even left some things unsaid. He was wary of Dio mass-producing his followers (corpse-like beings) like he had a hundred years ago. In a densely populated place like Cairo, that would be tantamount to a biological crisis.

The purpose of preparing high-powered ultraviolet devices is to counter this.

The high technology that the German army painstakingly researched to target the Pillar Men can now be easily manufactured by the SPW Foundation, which even has stockpiles of them (SPW has been using ultraviolet light to contain the Santana statue).

The reason why this thing wasn't brought in the original work was not only because there wasn't time to prepare it, but also because it was too conspicuous and easily destroyed.

Now, things are different. First, without Holly's death countdown, Joseph can make arrangements more leisurely. Second, at this point in time, Dio has had two or three years less development time compared to the original storyline, and his forces are not yet as pervasive.

In fact, if Granny Enya had carried all the "arrows" with her, then the development of Dio's camp would have been stalled after she was captured.

However, it is clear that Dio would not entrust his safety to others. Even though Enya is loyal, he only sees her as a useful tool—she is too ugly to even be considered a small bread roll.

So of the five arrows in total (excluding the one Diablo kept), Enya only carried one, while the others were kept elsewhere.

However, judging by the timeline, Kira's father, Nijimura's father, and the priest had not yet received the arrow...

In other words, if Ye Shouneng could collect all five arrows after defeating Dio, he could completely overturn the plot of at least the next two works!

Just casually go to Italy and beat up some socially awkward youth, and you can make "JOJO" go straight to "THE END"!

—But thinking about it, I know it's unlikely to be that good.

The "fate" of this worldview is an objective reality, and it may even possess its own will. Ye Shou had to rely on the destiny of the Joestar clan to defeat Dio, and he wanted to overturn all subsequent plots in one fell swoop...

Who knows, maybe one day Dior will finish his cream puff and suddenly decide to distribute all the arrows to his men, sending them off to cause trouble all over the world!

"With so many preparations made, there's no chance of anything going wrong!"

Polnareff had never fought such a lucrative battle in his life. Although using various technological means was not in line with his swordsman aesthetic of "come and fight me if you're a brother," he didn't need to follow the rules of the martial arts world when dealing with villains like Dio!

"That's what I think too, but we must not be careless."

Instead, Joseph warned him seriously: "Dio is an incredibly cunning and vigilant fellow. Once he senses something is wrong, he will do everything in his power to sabotage our plans. He never considers morality or rules; there are no boundaries for him... We need to be mentally prepared!"

"Perhaps these devices won't even make it to Egypt, or they won't be of any use there—these are things we need to consider in advance."

Bobo is very open-minded: "If it ends up being a head-on confrontation, I actually think it will be much simpler!"

Needless to say, most of these things are probably useless, and we probably won't be able to fly directly to Cairo anyway—Ye Shou thought to himself.

Ultimately, they haven't yet encountered the diverse array of Stands, and they underestimate the troublesome nature of Dio's men.

That guy has only been out in the world for a few years, and he already has subordinates all over the world. No wonder Grandma Enya regards him as a born king. Anyone who sees this would think that he must be cheating!

“Actually, I also asked the SPW Foundation to hire Stand users, but the time is too short and I'm afraid we won't be able to contact many.” Joseph Joestar said with some regret, “So the main force will probably be us plus Avdol.”

"It's not surprising. As a supernatural power, a substitute can easily help people gain wealth and status, so it's not an exaggeration to say that it's an amplifier of desire."

Most Stand users who can resist temptation are living honest, law-abiding lives, and the SPW Foundation has no way of knowing their whereabouts. Those who have made a name for themselves in the underworld are often bounty hunters or assassins, and have probably already been recruited by Dio.

Ye Shou shook his head: "Even if we could buy it with money, it would be difficult for us to cooperate with those kinds of people."

Indeed~

Joseph Joestar sighed, "Luckily, I have an old friend I can trust. Avdol probably knows a few Stand users with good personalities, but I don't know if I should involve them... um?"

A staff member in uniform, wearing a hat with the letters SPW, ran over, carrying a mobile device the size of a suitcase—this was the "cell phone" from 86.

"what happened?"

"Sir, your friend wishes to speak with you."

"Oh~ He found a clue so quickly, as expected of him!"

Two Joes got excited and took the microphone: "It's me, Abdru, is that you?"

"Hello, Mr. Joestar?"

A man's voice came from the other end: "I'm sorry, I cannot complete your request."

"what?"

Er Qiao was taken aback: "Is it too difficult? Well, that's not your fault."

"No, I found Dio. To be precise, we met a week ago."

“A week?” Joseph frowned. “But I hadn’t told you that by then.”

"Perhaps it's fate. I never imagined that Lord Dio and my best friend would become enemies."

The other person's tone suddenly turned cold: "What an unfortunate coincidence!"

"what?!"

Joe Jr. grabbed the back of the chair with his left hand and forcefully broke off a piece: "Avdol, you don't mean—"

“I don’t want to fight my friends, but if you threaten Lord Dio’s safety, then there’s no other way. The Joestar bloodline is a huge threat to that lord, and I must eliminate it!”

Abdel paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Mr. Joestar, I am currently on my way to Japan."

"Japan!"

Joseph's eyes widened, his anger almost visible: "You mean—"

beep!

The call was disconnected before he could finish speaking, which angered Joseph so much that he smashed the phone.

"【Hidden Purple】!"

huh~

A purple thorny vine extended from Joe's hand, entangled the destroyed microphone, and emitted a piercing noise amidst a flash of light.

However, intermittent single words were also uttered—

KJ1……0……76……Chiba……Kujou……Kill!

"KJ1076 flight from Egypt to Japan! Tell the SPW Foundation to stop it from landing at all costs, make it turn back! Or deviate from Japan!"

Two Joestars were extremely anxious and shouted to Ye Shou and his companion, "Avdol must have been controlled by Dio. This is his subconscious sending us the last warning. That bastard Dio is going to harm my lovely daughter and my weak grandson!"

"What a despicable fellow!"

Bobo despises such scoundrels who target their own family members, and immediately slammed his fist on the table, saying, "Let's get started! Let's go to Japan right now!"

"You're right, aren't you, Ye Shou?"

[Fate Coin (Avdol) +1]!

"Yes, we really should go."

Ye Shou nodded calmly, listening to the sound of the gold coins falling, but he wasn't very happy, and even felt a little resentful:

A week ago, Avdel encountered Dio, so it's highly likely that Granny Enya's "disappearance" made him feel threatened, or perhaps he wanted to find a new fortune teller, so he targeted Avdel in advance.

This time, however, the Egyptian soothsayer failed to escape, resulting in the situation we see today.

—I've inexplicably returned to the path of forming the Stardust Expeditionary Force!

So, am I really going to Japan after all? The fate of this world is truly unpredictable.

But in the end, I have a huge intelligence advantage. Since you're trying to bring this together in the timeline, don't blame me for giving you side storylines!

...As they boarded the plane to Japan, the three had different feelings.

Unlike the anxious Qiao and the ambitious Bobo, Ye Shou still had the mood to write and draw in his notebook.

The information above was all obtained from Granny Enya, and Ye Shou kept him "with him" in the hibernation pod, occasionally using it to extract details.

He had originally planned a swift victory, taking into account the thirty-day time limit and Dio's incredible luck as a vampire, to prevent his opponent from having any chance to pull off an upset. But now that fate had been forcibly redirected to the original storyline, he was destined to waste some time.

He might not be able to complete his goal in this cycle and could only seamlessly transition to the next dungeon cycle at the beginning of the month after returning to the main world... But the longer it drags on, the more likely something unexpected will happen.

If the second cycle doesn't solve the problem, then we'll have to wait a month before we can enter "JOJO," by which time it will be too late!

Since that's the case, let's try our best to find something to do for the fate of this world and weaken Dio's strong luck as much as possible!

It's important to know that the fate of "JoJo" has never been more than just one person's!

“Mr. Joestar, although you are in a hurry now, since the SPW Foundation has already moved your daughter and her family, it should be able to buy you some time. We should be able to stop Avdol in time.”

"Besides, there's one more thing I need your help with—it might come in handy against Dio."

"Yes, you're right. There's no point in me getting anxious here."

Trusting Ye Shou, Er Qiao felt much relieved. She let out a long breath and tried to calm herself down: "What is it? I'm willing to do anything to make Dio suffer!"

"It's just a small matter for the SPW Foundation, and it might not even have any effect... But since it involves the Joestar bloodline, it's better to be cautious." Ye Shou's expression of concern for them greatly moved the two Joestars.

But he was stunned: "Jostar bloodline? But, but my family has always had only one son since my grandfather's generation, and I only have one daughter, Holly... Could it be that Jotaro already has a child?"

Oh my god! I knew Japanese education was unreliable!

"..."

They have quite a vivid imagination.

Ye Shou shook his head: "It's not Jotaro, but Jonathan Joestar's child."

"Oh, I see, it's my grandfather's... huh?"
