After becoming invincible, start having fun in the world

Chapter 178 The protagonist's halo and the second stage of growth
Zhang Xiu shook his head, wrapped his coat tightly around him, and quietly slipped out from the back of the Chu mansion.

Golden ripples attached to his feet, allowing him to fly across the muddy ground like a dragonfly, all the way into the mountains, and he found the cave that he had carefully selected during the day with ease.

Then, he stretched out his finger and pressed hard on the entrance of the cave. The ripples instantly spread to the entire entrance of the cave, and the rocks shattered, burying the entrance of the cave.

After doing all this, Zhang Xiu took out a stone mask from the arms of his tightly wrapped coat.

With the moonlight shining through the cracks in the rubble in the cave, Zhang Xiu looked at the stone ghost mask with an expression of uncontrollable joy on his face.

Just now, he sneaked into Chu Ke's house and found the stone ghost mask that was used as an ornament on the wall of the hall. He used his kung fu and the absorption of ripples to quietly bring it out of the villa.

"It's a pity that it's not the complete version of the Stone Mask." Zhang Xiu didn't find the socket, but just frowned slightly: "But it's not a big problem."

In his memory, the reason why Stoneface couldn't transform Kaz into the Ultimate Creature was due to a lack of energy, and the Perfect Edge Redstone could enhance the power of ultraviolet light through special refraction to supply the missing energy.

He did steal the perfect Aizhe redstone, but the stone mask in his hand was not the one with a socket, so he couldn't use it.

So can ripples replace this missing energy?
In the original work, there was also a Ripple Walker who became a vampire, but he had no idea of ​​the defects of the Stone Mask, and had never thought of using Ripple to replace the energy source. Therefore, whether Ripple can replace Edge Redstone is still a mystery.

So why not give it a try?
After this bold idea began to sprout in Zhang Xiu's mind, it spread like wild weeds and could not be stopped.

He did it as soon as he thought of it. Zhang Xiu raised his hand and pressed the stone ghost mask on his face, then took out a small knife and cut his palm.

As he pressed his bloody palm onto the stone ghost mask, he mobilized all the ripples in his body to flow into his hand.

The next moment, Zhang Xiu's face was filled with joy.

The moment his palm touched the Stone Ghost Mask, he felt that all of his ripple energy was absorbed into the Stone Ghost Mask.

"It can happen!"

Then, ten bone spurs emerged from the sides of the mask and pierced into his brain.

A huge amount of energy was injected instantly. At this moment, Zhang Xiu's strength increased rapidly and vigorously!
But the joy on Zhang Xiu's face gradually disappeared. This power seemed too violent!

He quickly put his hands on the mask and pulled it hard, but how could the deep bone spur be pulled off so easily?
"No, wait, stop!!"

"collapse!"

In the cave, Zhang Xiu exploded like a balloon filled with blood, and flesh and blood splattered everywhere, indiscriminately spreading to every corner. No, or rather, spreading to every corner except the direction of the cave entrance.

When the bloody rain ended, a figure slowly emerged at the entrance of the cave, which seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier.

"Tsk, logically speaking the memories haven't been modified too much, why are the personalities of these clones still different?" Zu Ke, wearing a white coat, slowly emerged from the air, still holding the recording tablet in his hand: "Is it because of the [Fate] problem?"

Zuko tapped the tablet lightly and crossed out a project called [Clone No. 33].

Just half an hour ago, Chu Ke successfully analyzed the entire "Zhang Xiu", along with everything on and behind him, and obtained some information about the "traveler" and the "protagonist".

To put it simply, in the infinite ocean of the universe, there are beings "traveling" between worlds at every moment due to various accidents, and this kind of travel will, to a certain extent, tear off a small part of the things in the original world and bring them to the new world.

If we regard each world as a soap bubble, then it is equivalent to taking away a little bit of the bubble water, which is harmless to the original world, but is more or less a pleasant surprise to the new world.

In return, the new world will be a little more inclined towards the person who delivers the express to itself, thus forming the so-called "protagonist halo".

Zhang Xiu is a carrier of this kind of protagonist halo, and in the world of JOJO, the word "destiny" runs through almost the entire world, making the protagonist halo even more powerful. As long as Zhang Xiu does not mess with some "small generations" who are far beyond his strength, he will not die at all. It is only a matter of time before he achieves what he wants, "becoming the ultimate creature."

Then he met Chu Ke, a master who was not under the control of the world, and died on the spot.

Chu Ke is still very interested in the use of the protagonist's halo. It can be used as a small buff to give to people he likes in the future, such as people in the chat group, or interesting newcomers in the main god space.

Of course, the protagonist's halo also has side effects. For example, Chu Ke put the protagonist's halo that he had just stripped off on his butler's head, and then the butler, who was over fifty years old, performed a series of "bitter smile", "touching nose", "shrugging", "meaningful eyes", "helplessness", "arrogant indifference", and "stretching" for Chu Ke on the spot.

You could say it's a side effect, but it's actually not that bad, just a little bit speechless.

What's wrong with stretching? Chu Ke said that stretching is really comfortable, okay? Especially the crackling sound caused by stretching after sitting for a long time, it's so refreshing.

However, this is also a place where he can make some adjustments. If Chu Ke finds a novel with a male protagonist named Long Aotian next time, he will definitely make some minor adjustments and then give it to the male protagonist.

For example, the male protagonist changed the "helpless" or "touching nose" before speaking to "knocking nose".

[Long Aotian fought his way out of the Eightfold Hell and finally arrived at the cell where Mary Sue was imprisoned.]

[Facing the heroine Mary Sue who was tied up with iron chains, Long Aotian tapped Yan Zi's butt and held Mary Sue's face affectionately: "No one can bully my woman."]

[The heroine Mary Sue surrendered to the enemy. 】

Thinking of this, Chu Ke couldn't help but laugh.

It's something that can be written into the biography of Mu Susu.

Thinking back to reality, Chu Ke shook his head at the "pool" of Zhang Xiu on the ground.

The reason why he wanted to clone Zhang Xiu was mainly because he was attracted by the other party's intention to cause trouble.

Now that Dio has become the godson of his own gene origin, it is impossible for him to become a vampire. The big boss of the first part was strangled in the cradle.

Chu Ke was afraid that he would ruin the two of them. After all, Dio at the beginning was not the evil emperor who later became, but just a green tea girl fighting for the family inheritance.

Now that Dio has inherited his family property and looks down on the things of the Qiao family, there is naturally no conflict.

Therefore, it is urgent to pull out a new BOSS. Currently, there are only two options. One is to awaken the BOSS of the second part, Pillar Man, in advance, and the other is to start the Stand era in advance.

Needless to say, the Chu exploration team is still digging for meteorites.

The former is out of date. With the current strength of Qiao Qiao and Dio, after learning the ripples, it is not like in the original work. It is almost the difference between low-level martial arts and high-level martial arts. The ripples refined from the physique of the original gene can be used as Kamehameha, and the Pillar Man will be killed in seconds as soon as he shows his head.

Unless the opponent hides and develops into an ultimate creature and also learns Ripple.

Given the character of the Pillar Man, he will definitely not keep a low profile unless he fights with Da Qiao and the others.

This is the same as the closed loop of "kill it as soon as it shows up".

The appearance of Zhang Xiu gave Chu Ke inspiration and it was also an opportunity to arrange a clone to be inserted into the Pillar Man team for a try.

After understanding where he made the mistake, Chu Ke would not make the same mistake this time. After returning to the laboratory and catalyzing another clone, Chu Ke copied the protagonist halo that originally belonged to the new Zhang Xiu and threw him out of the mansion to let him develop.

The next morning.

Qibelin came to the door anxiously to inquire about the whereabouts of Zhang Xiu, who had not returned all night and had no news. After hearing Chu Ke say that he had not seen him, he left with annoyance.

At noon, Zeppelin and George found Chu Ke together and asked about the whereabouts of the Stone Mask.

After Zhang Xiu disappeared, Zeppeli, who was short of manpower, had to rely on George's power to find him and search for the so-called "root of evil", the Stone Mask.

After learning that George had a stone mask in his hand and it was borrowed by Chu Ke, he went all the way to Chu's house to inquire about it.

"What? Gone?" Zeppeli was shocked.

"Yes, I hung it here last night." Chu Ke also pretended to be surprised and pointed at the empty nail on the wall.

Before this, Zeppeli suggested that Chu Ke take the servants of the mansion out to bask in the sun, thus ruling out the possibility that someone in the mansion turned into a vampire and stole the mask.

Considering what seemed to be wrong before Zhang Xiu set out, a terrifying guess emerged in Zeppeli's mind.

After that, Zeppeli hurriedly said goodbye to Chu Ke and George and started searching for Zhang Xiu alone.

Time flies. In the blink of an eye, a year has passed since Zeppeli left. Without the disturbance of outsiders, the small town fell into a period of tranquility and peace.

Jonathan, who was now able to defeat his own knight independently, appeared in the arena again. However, this was not the previous arena that was simply surrounded by branches by the children in the town, but a farm specially built on the back mountain of the Jonathan manor. Before this, Jonathan learned to fight with his own knight here.

At this time, Jonathan and Dio were sitting at the two ends of the fenced arena, with boxing gloves tied on their hands.

"Dio, I will never let you go!" Jonathan bit the cloth strip on the glove and wrapped it tightly around his wrist: "You really pissed me off!"

Although Zuko had banned the two from fighting for a period of time, Dio also had a direction for succession and no longer needed to suppress Jonathan.

But Dio's dissatisfaction with Jonathan was not just because he wanted to seize the Jonathan family's inheritance. He would naturally not give up so easily. He could not suppress Jonathan with his fists, so Dio relied on his social skills to unite his peers in the town to isolate Jonathan.

Not everyone can bear the feeling of loneliness.

Fortunately, there was someone to accompany Jonathan.

Before Dio entered the Joe family, Jonathan heroically rescued a girl named Elena Pendleton from two gangsters. Just when Jonathan was most lonely, Elena entered his life and the two quickly fell in love.

Dio naturally couldn't accept this development. One evening, Dio intercepted Elina and forcefully kissed her, saying the famous line "You and JOJO haven't kissed before, right? Your first kiss wasn't with JOJO, ko no dio da! (It's me, DIO!)"

Elina hates Dio but is also unwilling to see Jonathan in such a filthy state, and the two people who love each other gradually become estranged.

Jonathan immediately exploded with energy, defeated his own knight, and asked Chuko for the opportunity to duel with Dio.

"Wow." Dio also tied up his gloves, came to the center of the arena, and made a starting motion: "It has been a year since our last fight."

"I still remember how miserable you looked when I beat you. If it wasn't for the Godfather stopping you, would you have cried this time?"

Although he said this, Dio was still extremely vigilant.

After gaining the power of the "Original Gene" as mentioned by the Godfather, although his strength did not increase, his increasing resistance to blows made Dio, who had already beaten up all his peers on the street, even stronger. He was not afraid even when facing seven or eight adult thugs at the same time.

If Dio hadn't been afraid that there would be too many people and that he would be tied up in the chaos, he could have shouted what he heard from the Godfather - "I'm going to fight ten of them!"

According to Dio's test, his current defense is such that even if he uses all his strength to hold the knife, it is difficult to leave a mark on his skin, and his internal organs can be run over by a carriage without any damage.

Because of this, Dio also understood how difficult it would be to deal with Jonathan, who had the same power as himself.

However, the battle with Jonathan can also test his current limits.

As soon as Dio said this, Jonathan, who was already furious, completely exploded.

He used his back foot to gain leverage, stretched his entire right arm backwards, and was about to throw out a swinging punch.

"Humph, so much time has passed, and you're still clueless." As soon as Dio said this, his hair stood on end.

wrong!

At the same time, Jonathan used the movement of pulling his right hand back, and his left fist had already hit Dio from bottom to top at a tricky angle.

That extended right hand was just a feint!

Jonathan dared to do this because he relied on his increasingly improved physical fitness. If it were an ordinary person, his tendons would definitely be injured, and he would suffer a hundred casualties before killing the enemy.

Dio leaned back suddenly, just able to avoid the tricky punch, then kicked out with a whip kick, sweeping towards Jonathan, whose lower body became unstable due to his movements.

Jonathan suddenly retracted his strength, took the counterattack and jumped up, stepping on Dio's leg.

The two of them tested each other for a few times, and then when they found that the other party could not hurt them, they started to open fire with all their strength.

"Boom!"

Jonathan crossed his arms and blocked Dio's fist.

"Dio, I really didn't expect you to do such a despicable thing!" Jonathan yelled angrily, "I heard that your father was my father's savior, but I didn't expect you didn't inherit even a little bit of his nobility!"

As soon as these words came out, the calmness on Dio's face disappeared instantly, replaced by boundless shame and anger:

"What did you say?!"

"I'm not as good as that scumbag? The kind who tortures his own wife." For a moment, Dio couldn't find a word to describe his current mood.

With Jonathan's whisper, Dio felt that some restriction in his body was released.

The next moment, he punched out.

"Oh!"

Jonathan broke through the fence like a meteor, flew dozens of meters and landed in a pile of straw, blowing the straw all over the sky.
