Great, we're doomed now!

Cross-shaped Flame Whirlwind!

Abudul made a gesture with both hands, and the bird-headed fire god flapped his wings, gathering flames to launch a ring of fire in the shape of anka (an ancient Egyptian symbol), which then formed a whirlwind of fire and was released.

The area is large enough that the water arrow has no way to avoid it!

--laugh!

Most of the water jet evaporated, but the remaining part broke through the ring of fire!

"Varied!"

A Stand is a manifestation of spiritual power. Although it is like flowing water that can change freely, the original body will still be harmed if it suffers any damage.

Most of its volume dissipated... Even if the main body didn't die, it should have been powerless to fight anymore, but... this water arrow was still so sharp!

"【The Red Magician】!"

Avdol's eyes widened, but he didn't retreat a single step. The flames suddenly vanished, and his bird-headed, human-bodied clone appeared behind him, throwing a straight punch that engulfed everything in sight with its golden, crimson light.

boom!

call out!

A wisp of moisture, like an air gun, traced an eerie arc, scattering the turban on Abuder's head and revealing the scars where granulation tissue had once been implanted.

"Thank you, Ye Shou." Avdol looked at the devastating scene around him, which looked as if it had been bombed by a meteorite. "I never thought my Stand could do this much."

What are your thoughts?

“…A terrible enemy.” Avdol picked up his headscarf and said with a sigh, “Indeed, we must eliminate Dio! Otherwise…”

"This kind of bewitching charm will only give birth to even more terrifying beings," Ye Shou added.

"But our mission is to prevent this from happening, isn't it?"

“Yes!” Abudel rallied. “Justice will ultimately prevail!”

...And in a deserted corner of this base, a blind man holding a cane huddled up, his body slowly turning charred black without any visible flames, emitting wisps of black smoke, and died silently.

Chapter 146 The Strongest Ripple Warrior in Modern Times

"Sorry, I accidentally went too far," Abuder said, bowing his head in front of everyone.

Two Joe first comforted him and told him not to worry, then looked in surprise at the burned ground and part of the warehouse: "But we didn't expect the power of the [Red Magician] to be so strong. Although it has been abandoned, this base was built to the standard of a defensive fortification. It's as if it was bombed by napalm."

"The range is smaller, but the power is much greater. Look, it melted through such a thick steel frame!" Bobo exclaimed in amazement as he looked at the battle marks on Avdol.

"If I were on the opposing side, I have no idea how to fight against an opponent like this... Fortunately, you hadn't met Ye Shou when you were controlled by Dio."

"I am truly ashamed!" Avdol felt even more embarrassed. "It is so shameful that my mistake has affected the entire plan!"

"Alright, alright~ Nobody's blaming you." Poppo waved his hand. "Only you can handle those 'whack-a-mole' Stands... What should we do next?"

Everyone turned to look at Ye Shou, but the boy just shrugged, indicating that he didn't have any particularly good ideas either.

Joseph Joestar pondered for a moment and said, "If all else fails, let's take an off-road vehicle across the desert. If we stay here too long, we might get entangled with the enemy's Stands again. After all, this is Dio's stronghold, and it would be troublesome if we were outnumbered."

As soon as he finished speaking, a staff member came out. It was the same person who had been attacked by the stand-in and then saved by Ye Shou.

"We will have the runway ready by 2 p.m., all parts of the aircraft have been checked and the fuel has been successfully refueled, so it will definitely not delay everyone's plans."

"Really? Isn't that too much of a stretch?" The two Qiao sisters were overjoyed.

"will not!"

The man nodded to Ye Shou and said very seriously, "Our mission is to clear obstacles for you all. Mr. Ye Shou and Mr. Joestar, you only need to think about how to defeat Dio. We, the logistics staff, will handle everything else!"

"Um... thank you."

Ye Shou also said earnestly, "Then I'll leave it to you!"

-

hum~~~

The small transport plane landed smoothly on the runway, and everyone, including Ye Shou, breathed a sigh of relief.

This was their smoothest long-distance transfer since they embarked on their journey. They encountered no trouble during the process and did not need to make a forced landing under harsh conditions. Below them was a well-maintained airport, not a dilapidated military base.

As they stepped off the gangway and onto Cairo soil, everyone felt as if they had stepped into another world.

"Good, we've finally arrived at our destination. Now there's only one thing left to do—take down Dio!"

The two Qiaos clenched their fists, their eyes gleaming with a desire for victory.

Finding Dio's location was a challenge in the original storyline, but it's a piece of cake for the now-enhanced [Hermit Purple] and the VR glasses provided by Ye Shou. Joseph memorized enough information while reading and writing, and by verifying each other, he had already locked down the general area.

In order not to alert the enemy, the SPW Foundation was not allowed to move its personnel and equipment there, but instead stockpiled them in several other locations so that they could be quickly mobilized to one place as soon as the operation began.

"Mr. Joestar, welcome to Cairo."

A young man in an SPW uniform approached, handed the manifest to Joseph, and said in an elegant tone, "You must be tired from your journey. We have booked suites in a star-rated hotel for you all to wash away the dust of your travels. Is there anything else we can do for you? Please let us know."

"That's all."

Joseph took it, looked at it, and nodded, saying, "There's only one thing I want to know. I want to know Jotaro Kujo's current situation. Has he arrived in the Middle East? Has he encountered any enemy Stand users?"

"You're worried about Mr. Kujo's safety, but there's no need to worry. Your grandson has left the Middle East safely. Although he encountered some trouble, he has the help of others and has arrived in Cairo safely with important supplies."

"Huh? Even faster than us!"

The two Qiaos looked up in surprise, only then realizing something was wrong: "You are..."

“His name is Kakyoin Noriaki, and he is a friend I met on the road.”

A slightly immature but already quite composed voice came from behind. Everyone turned around and saw Jotaro, dressed in a modified school uniform, walking slowly towards them.

"Jotaro!"

Joseph's gaze was complicated as he called out his name. He had been somewhat annoyed by this presumptuous young man, but upon seeing him in person, all that remained was pity and affection.

"You're alright...that's good."

The staff member also took off his hat, revealing delicate and well-proportioned features. He was clearly well-educated and had a much gentler demeanor than Jotaro.

"Hello, Mr. Joestar, I am Kakyoin, JOJO's friend."

He greeted Ye Shou and the other two in a friendly manner: "I may be fighting alongside you all in the future, so please take good care of me."

"Hmm~ Although young, I can sense that he has quite impressive mental strength." Avdel nodded.

The boy, who also had an Asian face, smiled, seemed lost in thought for a moment, and then extended his hand to him: "I am Ye Shou. I have been looking forward to your joining us for a long time, Kakyoin."

"Ok?"

Kakyoin Noriaki asked in confusion, "What did you say?"

"It may sound abrupt, but I already knew you would join this expedition. I'll explain the details to you later."

Ye Shou shook hands with Kakyoin, then looked at Jotaro seriously: "Did you bring all those things?"

"We encountered Stand users on the way and lost about one-fifth of our strength, but most of them were unharmed."

Jotaro adjusted his hat: "We only carried a small portion ourselves; the rest were sent to Cairo in the private mail of Dubai tycoons. Probably because our main focus was diverted to you, these goods were not intercepted."

Having said that, Jotaro picked up the box in his hand.

“Those large installations are being assembled by the engineering team, but I think it’s best to hand 'this' over to you personally.”

"it is good!"

The two Qiaos perked up, their eyes gleaming. They stepped forward, carefully took the box, and opened it on the spot to verify its authenticity.

Ye Shou's gaze was also drawn to it at this moment. When the dazzling and pure red light appeared in his field of vision, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

"Aizhe Redstone!"

-

Aja Redstone is a unique and extremely rare natural crystal found only in this world. Its interior can reflect light hundreds of millions of times and concentrate it at a single point, giving it an extremely strong energy amplification function.

Furthermore, due to the similarity between Ripple energy and sunlight, this redstone can also amplify the power of Ripple, making it seem like a treasure specifically prepared for Ripple warriors.

The above only describes the effects of regular Aja Redstone. There is also a legendary "Super Aja Redstone," whose effects are vastly different from the regular version!

Originally, because the Super Aja Red Stone could release powerful energy that allowed the Pillar Men to evolve into perfect beings, and could also be the key to killing Kars, the Ripple Warriors protected it with their lives for generations.

More than forty years ago, Joseph, with the help of courage, wisdom, and great luck, defeated the perfect creature, and the spiral of fate between the Ripple Warriors and the Pillar Men was broken, rendering the Red Stone useless.

However, the Stone Mask, an experimental product of the Pillar Men, has not completely disappeared from the world, and vampires may still appear. Therefore, the SPW Foundation has been collecting special items such as the Stone Mask and Aja's Red Stone to ensure that the shadow of the ancient times stays away from modern humans.

This judgment proved to be correct; these Aja redstones will come in handy in dealing with Dio!

"It's been so long... I never thought I'd have the chance to use redstone again."

Qiao looked at the beautiful ruby ​​in Xin Yi's hand, sighed for a while, and then covered it with her gloves.

"Hopefully, this will catch Dior off guard."

On the other side, Bobo held Anubis and examined it repeatedly, looking at the gem set in the hilt of the knife with a suspicious gaze.

"Does this thing even work? It just looks like a decoration."

"Not necessarily."

Ye Shou toyed with a red stone in his hand and said jokingly, "You can try it. Didn't I teach you how to infuse ripples into items before?"

Hearing this, Er Qiao also looked at Bo Bo, expecting something just like Ye Shou.

"Well……"

To be honest, being looked at by these two was very stressful, which made Bobo hesitate subconsciously. But he was a brave and fearless French man, how could he be afraid of a small gem?

So he opened his ribs, took a deep breath, pumping a large amount of air into his lungs. Immediately, his blood flowed faster throughout his body, and a surge of heat burst forth from all parts of his body, concentrating in his palms with a specific pulse—

"Ripple Dash!"

Electric-like ripples of energy enveloped Anubis's entire body, giving the black blade a dazzling color, which also made Popo nod in satisfaction.

For someone of his skill level, achieving this level is already quite impressive.

But just as he was about to finish his practice, the ripple energy in his body suddenly surged out uncontrollably like water pouring into a silver pool. The ripples, which originally needed to be transmitted smoothly in an object at a certain frequency, actually slipped into that small gemstone with unparalleled smoothness, and the speed was even faster than when it flows in the human body!

"Varied!!"

"Varied!!"

A phantom image of a jackal god with a jewel embedded in its forehead appeared, and it cried out in unison with Polnareff. Before either of them could react, a figure appeared beside them in a flash.
