Chapter 51 This old gentleman, please write this chapter.
"Mr. Xu!"
Jonathan and Zeppelin both looked pleasantly surprised.
Xu Yuan nodded to them.
"Did we win?"
"It's just that we've temporarily shaken them off."
After all, he can fly, but they can't.
After luring Sophia and Royal away, temporarily escaping their entanglement was not difficult for Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan wanted to kill the greatswords instantly.
Instead of fighting them head-on.
Because those guys are all ticking time bombs.
Who knows, it might awaken during the fight, and once the greatsword awakens, its strength will increase dramatically.
At this moment, DIO, who had been grabbed by the neck and lifted up by Xu Yuan, roared angrily.
"Don't get too cocky, human!"
He was an extremely arrogant person.
She has an extremely strong sense of self-esteem and believes that she is the strongest.
After becoming a vampire, he became even more contemptuous of humans.
For someone like him, the most unbearable thing is being treated with such contempt.
Whether it's words or actions.
His hands were cut off, and he was lifted up by the neck.
This was incredibly humiliating for DIO.
"What's wrong? You're on edge?" Xu Yuan looked at DIO. "Are you allowed to look down on others, but others aren't allowed to look down on you?"
"Damn humans!!!"
Humiliation and anger consumed DIO's reason.
He didn't even notice that his hands hadn't regenerated.
"Vaporization freezing method!"
"Watch out!" Jonathan and Zeppelin shouted in unison.
"It's nothing," Xu Yuan said.
A layer of ice appeared on DIO's neck, but when the ice spread to Xu Yuan's hand, it only caused a thin layer of ice to form on the surface of his skin.
Xu Yuan's arm trembled slightly.
The thin layer of ice then broke.
"It's cool and refreshing, is there any more?"
"Go to hell!!!"
DIO roared, and the fluid in his eyeball pierced through the eyeball, shooting towards Xu Yuan like a sharp arrow.
With a thought, Xu Yuan formed a psionic shield.
The fluid shot onto the shield, slid down, and slowly dripped onto the ground.
"That's disgusting, thank goodness I didn't get shot."
At this moment, DIO finally experienced the despairing gap in strength.
"Impossible!! This is impossible!!!"
Xu Yuan glanced at DIO's severed arm on the ground, then suddenly had an idea and asked the system, "System, can the Nightmare of the Undead title's effect be removed?"
[This is in effect by default and can be removed.]
The crow could not parasitize Sato.
This is because the parasites, after seizing and assimilating the brain, cause the host's death.
Demi-humans can be resurrected upon death.
Furthermore, the regeneration of demi-humans during their resurrection is extremely thorough.
Abnormal conditions such as physical exhaustion or anesthesia will be excluded.
The cells will return to their normal state.
Therefore, the assimilated brain will expel the parasite in order to complete the repair.
This cycle has been repeating itself endlessly.
The key lies in the domineering and unsolvable nature of its regenerative ability.
Not only does it not consume energy, it can also remove abnormal conditions and restore cells to normal.
But vampires are different.
When DIO had just abandoned his human identity and become a vampire, he was severely injured by Jonathan Joestar.
Afterwards, he repaired his injuries by drinking human blood.
In other words, his regeneration requires energy.
Even their immortality is maintained by life energy.
It was mentioned in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 2 that Kars created Stone Mask, which can create immortality, but requires a huge amount of life energy.
Bloodsucking means absorbing the life energy from the blood.
In short, DIO regeneration incurs costs.
This is completely different from demi-humans.
Anything that is consumed will eventually be exhausted.
Although it's not hard to deduce from the empty blood bag on the ground and the word "Sato" written on it—
DIO absorbed a lot of Sato's blood.
He may have gained some benefits from it, but it shouldn't have been enough to turn him into a subhuman.
From another perspective, if he truly benefited from the blood of the demi-humans, it would actually be a good thing.
This indicates that his vampire bloodline has the potential to grow.
In fact, this possibility is quite high.
Vampires gain benefits by absorbing blood, which is not uncommon in fantasy works.
There is no related content in the original JOJO manga, perhaps simply because DIO only absorbs ordinary people.
Regardless, it's worth giving it a try.
Remove title effects.
After dispelling the [Nightmare of the Undead] effect, golden ripples of energy appeared on Xu Yuan's hands.
Due to the vast disparity in strength between the two sides, he did not use his full strength.
Ripple continued to surge into DIO's body, beginning to damage his physical form and forcing him to continuously repair it.
Soon, Xu Yuan noticed that DIO's recovery speed had slowed down.
After all, his ripples were clearly too powerful for DIO.
After weakening DIO's regenerative abilities to a considerable extent, Xu Yuan knocked him unconscious with a single punch.
Jonathan and Zeppelin looked puzzled.
"What is Mr. Xu doing?"
"My pet can control targets through parasitism, and I plan to have it parasitize DIO."
Xu Yuan explained it to them.
He gestured to the little crow on his shoulder as he spoke.
The crow's head split open, and the fleshy worm that was its true form burrowed into DIO's ear.
Both Da Qiao and Zeppeli are righteous and heroic characters.
While characters who are perfect and righteous might seem a bit boring in anime, they are actually quite admirable in real life.
Negative examples include the arrogant and the riddle-maker.
It's fine to see it in anime and novels, but if you actually encounter it, it usually just makes you feel annoyed.
This is the difference between entertainment and reality.
He wouldn't show any mercy to Da Qiao and the others, but if they could part ways amicably, why not?
"Parasitization..." Jonathan and Zeppeli exchanged a glance and asked, "What will happen to DIO after he's parasitized?"
"I will die."
"Won't there be any problems?"
In Jonathan and his colleagues' minds, DIO was a formidable enemy.
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
At that moment, DIO suddenly woke up.
He looked at Xu Yuan and laughed wildly, "Hahahaha! I'm resurrected! I'm resurrected! Didn't expect that, did you, human! I, DIO, am immortal! You can't kill me!"
Xu Yuan frowned slightly.
The resurrection ability of demi-humans?
No, he's become even weaker than before.
Moreover, he suddenly became much weaker.
Understood.
Although DIO gained the ability to revive demi-humans, it was a flawed version.
As long as there's consumption, things will be easier.
Moreover, this is a good thing.
This proves that his bloodline has the potential to grow.
Xu Yuan knocked DIO unconscious again.
Unlike Sato, DIO is stronger than Crow.
Weakening his regeneration ability and stunning him are all ways to weaken DIO's resistance.
Then, Xu Yuan enveloped him with his soul power, keeping a close watch on his condition.
After all, resurrection requires consuming life energy.
If you suddenly feel weak, that means you've been resurrected.
We're not afraid he'll pretend to be unconscious.
"Little Crow, continue."
After saying that, Xu Yuan looked at Jonathan and the other man, who were startled, and said, "Don't worry, it's alright. What just happened actually makes me more certain that there won't be any problems."
At that moment, he suddenly thought of a guess, asked the system, and after receiving confirmation, said, "Besides, this is actually a good thing for you."
As Xu Yuan spoke, he casually knocked DIO unconscious, who had been resurrected once again.
That guy is indeed very cunning.
After being resurrected this time, he actually tried to pretend to be unconscious.
Fortunately, he was prepared, otherwise Little Crow might have been in trouble.
"Why do you say that?" Jonathan asked.
"As I said before, you will not die after you are killed, but will return to your original world."
"Was that old man like that? I saw him turn into specks of light and disappear, leaving no corpse behind. Was he also from another world?"
"That's right. So even if I kill DIO now, he'll just return to your world, and you'll have to deal with him all over again yourselves."
As Xu Yuan spoke, he knocked DIO unconscious once again.
Jonathan and his companion felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing this.
The outcome of their fight against DIO has already been quite clear.
The reason we've been able to hold on until now is thanks to Mr. Xu's pets helping out.
"What does Mr. Xu mean?" Zeppelin asked.
"But if DIO is parasitized by Crow, he will not only die, but he will also not return to your world; he will disappear from your world completely."
As for what will happen to the JOJO world after DIO disappears.
Will the Joestar family's fate come to an end?
Or will a new villain emerge in order to keep the plot going?
We don't know for sure about these things.
The system didn't say, so it probably doesn't know either.
Jonathan and Zeppelin exchanged a glance, both agreeing that this was undoubtedly the best outcome for their world.
Because they can't deal with DIO.
If we could keep him in this world that can deal with him... no, Mr. Xu said that DIO would die after being parasitized.
They died, and they will not return to their world.
He was completely dead.
This is undoubtedly the best result.
"host……"
Bang's punch knocked "DIO" unconscious.
Xu Yuan was slightly taken aback.
Oh no, I reacted instinctively when he suddenly spoke.
Just in case, Xu Yuan still opened the bounty panel to check.
The screen next to DIO's name displayed "Completed".
He can claim this reward now, or he can process the space nodes and settle the account together.
After receiving confirmation from the bounty panel, Xu Yuan felt relieved and patted DIO's face—now DIO's son, Crow—saying, "Wake up, wake up."
The crow slowly awoke: "Master."
Jonathan and his companion exclaimed in surprise, "Did it work?"
"That's right," Xu Yuan said.
"Where's DIO?"
"He's already dead."
Upon hearing this, Jonathan and Zeppelin breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just... seeing the little raven with DIO's face calling Mr. Xu "master" feels a bit strange.
Then Jonathan thought of a question: "Little Crow, right? Do you need to drink human blood?"
"No need," said the little crow.
Jonathan and Zeppelin both smiled.
But Xu Yuan noticed that Xiao Ya glanced at them subtly before answering the question.
"to be honest."
Upon hearing this, Little Crow changed his tune and said, "Yes, it is necessary."
Jonathan and his companion's hearts skipped a beat.
Is this... a dead DIO, and a new one coming?!
Moreover, this "DIO" has Mr. Hsu backing him up!
But Xu Yuan didn't seem to care much: "Don't worry, it's not a big problem."
Jonathan exclaimed anxiously, "How can this not be a big problem?"
Xu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Do you know about blood transfusion therapy?"
Zeppelin paused slightly: "More than a decade ago, during the war between Prussia and France, blood transfusions were used extensively to save wounded soldiers, but I heard there was a problem with blood clotting."
"That's because there are four types of human blood, and they need to be matched to be compatible."
"What?! So that's how it is?!"
"Mr. Xu, this is an incredible discovery! It could save countless lives!"
"I didn't discover it. Blood transfusion therapy is already very common in our world. Countries establish blood banks, and people donate blood for a fee or free of charge."
"What does Mr. Xu mean?"
"I can buy it. Although it's hard to buy through official channels, it's not difficult to find on the black market. It's not a rare resource. Don't worry, in our world, the risk of randomly sucking people's blood is higher than earning money to buy blood."
After all, making money is not difficult for superhumans.
At worst, we can just rob the Yakuza; they're not exactly good people anyway.
"in addition……"
As Xu Yuan spoke, he used his sword to cut open his palm.
Seeing this, the little crow immediately understood, squatted down like a puppy, tilted its head back and opened its mouth.
Xu Yuan dripped his blood into its mouth.
As Xu Yuan's blood was absorbed by the crow, its condition visibly began to improve.
They quickly recovered to their peak condition.
Jonathan and his companion were astonished.
So fast?! Just that little bit of blood?!
But then, Zeppelin immediately thought of the enormous life energy on Xu Yuan's body, which was far beyond his imagination in terms of both purity and quantity, far exceeding that of ordinary people.
"Just as I expected." Xu Yuan looked at the two of them. "I am much stronger than it. My blood contains powerful life energy, and just a little bit will be enough for it."
Hearing more is not as good as seeing it with your own eyes.
Jonathan and his companion were finally relieved.
Xu Yuan then looked at Xiao Ya: "Let's try a different look."
DIO's face... well, it's quite recognizable.
Moreover, he doesn't want a big brother by his side.
Parasites can change their shape at will; altering their size and appearance is very easy for them.
This was shown in the animation.
The little crow began to shrink, shrink, shrink...
Then it turned into a crow and flew back to Xu Yuan's shoulder.
Xu Yuan: "?"
No, I just want you to change your face.
Is this even possible?!
Ah, speaking of which, the flesh of the parasite seems to swell up quite often.
So compression isn't difficult for them?
Xu Yuan looked at Jonathan: "Alright, that's all over. Let's settle this now."
"Okay." Jonathan nodded without hesitation.
He knew very well that he was no match for Mr. Xu.
But avoiding a duel is certainly not gentlemanly behavior!
Out of respect for Da Qiao, Xu Yuan stepped back a few paces, giving him room to adjust and prepare.
On the other side, Zeppeli also took a few steps back.
They have no intention of intervening in this battle.
Jonathan is in very bad shape right now; he has frostbite all over his body and poor blood circulation.
Ripples are the power contained in the blood.
But he didn't say much, he just activated the limited amount of ripple energy in his body and got into position.
"Come on, Mr. Xu!"
"Okay," Xu Yuan replied.
He could kill his opponent with a single, casual sword strike.
But he felt that this was too disrespectful to Jonathan Joestar.
So he switched to holding the sword with both hands.
Zeppeli acted as referee: "Begin!"
Xu Yuan stomped his foot hard!
Flying Sword Style: Nine-Headed Dragon Flash!
Just then, a violent shockwave suddenly swept across between him and Jonathan.
That shockwave was terrifying.
It plowed a deep trench into the ground with just a graze.
The astonishing force of the punches continuously vibrated the air.
It actually sent Jonathan, who is 195 cm tall and weighs over 100 kg, flying.
Xu Yuan stopped and leaped backward.
He calmly turned his head and looked at Hayato Furinji, who was in a fist-throwing stance on the other side.
Hayato Fuurinji greeted him, "It's nice to see you again."
Although Xu Yuan was wearing a mask, he could not hide it from Furinji Hayato, who had seen him once before.
Just as Xu Yuan was about to speak, Jonathan, who had been blown away, stood up and shouted, "Old sir, why are you interfering with a duel between gentlemen?"
Hayato Furinji stroked his beard and said, "If I hadn't intervened, you would probably be dead."
Jonathan shook his head and said, "Mr. Xu said that I won't die after being killed, but will simply return to my original world."
"I see, that's what he told you?"
"Isn't that right?"
"I don't know, but that's just his side of the story; we don't know if it's true or not, do we?"
"You're right, but I believe him. Besides, this duel is a gentleman's agreement!"
Hayato Fuurinji was taken aback: "You'll die."
"I will not die. I believe Mr. Xu's words; he is a remarkable gentleman."
"Whether being killed will lead to returning to one's original world is uncertain. Wouldn't it be better to stay in this world than to gamble on that possibility?"
"Sir, I know you mean well."
"In addition, although we haven't had much contact, I can tell that this world is a very beautiful place."
"But I still have attachments in my original world."
"Moreover, Mr. Xu said that our presence in this world would affect its stability."
"In that case, I have to go back."
Upon hearing this, Hayato Furinji frowned.
Affecting the stability of the world?!
Seeing that the young man wouldn't listen to reason, he turned to another person: "And you?"
Zeppeli stated frankly, "When I resolved to eradicate the evil of the Stone Mask, I had already made all the necessary preparations. Now that my wish has been fulfilled, I have no regrets."
Hayato Fuurinji's face was filled with astonishment: "Aren't you worried about dying?!"
Upon hearing this, Zeppeli seemed to recall something and said, "Although it's different from the prophecy, if this is fate, then I'll accept it gladly."
He looked at Xu Yuan: "Mr. Xu, do you have any red wine?"
"No, will coffee be alright?"
"The coffee is too bitter."
"It's seasoned."
"Oh? Let me try some."
Xu Yuan took out a bottle of coffee and tossed it to Zeppelin.
Zeppelin opened it, took a sip, and exclaimed, "Not bad, a novel taste!"
Then, he looked at Furinji Hayato.
Jonathan also looked at Hayato Furinji.
"Sir, please go back."
