Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 18 Diamond
As the cloak successfully covered Lu Chen, the surrounding scene shifted slightly again. A gravely injured Mandentim collapsed to the ground, still alive. Lu Chen and Valentine returned to the basic world.

Then the scene changed again. The President brought Lu Chen to a new world. He didn't notice Mandentim lying on the ground. A doomed sheriff wouldn't have any impact on his plans.

Lu Chen figured out the mechanism of his teleportation. He could return to the door he had come from, and there was no need to rely on the power of D4C. In other words, the power added by D4C was for round trip.

Diego had also used this to return to the previous world from where he came from. So he could return to the basic world on his own without the help of D4C.

In this world, there is a president holding a diamond who is waiting for Lu Chen. It seems that Valentine in this world has successfully obtained the diamond.

Valentine said seriously, "Now give me the saint's spine, and I will give you the diamond. I swear to the goddess that I will give you the diamond."

"I don't know if the diamond in your hand is real. Throw the diamond to me first. If it's real, I will give you the Saint's spine. I still want to stay in this world for a while. So I have no reason to lie to you. Since you are willing to give me the diamond, why are you hesitating now?"

Valentine was silent for a moment and then threw the diamond away.

Lu Chen immediately used the steel of heart to catch the diamond.

The moment Lu Chen's double took the diamond, the portal in his mind suddenly glowed. The diamond's power fueled the portal, and now that it was fully charged, Lu Chen immediately knew that this portal could indeed lead to other worlds. However, he didn't know which worlds. He had to push the door open, but once it opened, he would be transported through time. So there was no way to prepare in advance.

However, the words he had used to threaten Valentine before became true at this moment.

Since there is a means to leave, the fear of fate will not be so deep.

Moreover, Lu Chen felt that this diamond could also enhance the ability of the stand, so he would have to study how to use it specifically in the future.

"I've already given you the diamond. Now give me the Saint's spine." Dozens of Valentines spoke in unison, dozens of pistols aimed at Lu Chen simultaneously, and the D4Cs were ready to attack at any moment. If Lu Chen violated the agreement, the Valentines would immediately launch an attack.

Lu Chen first grinned, then used his substitute to pull the saint's remains out of his body.

"The remains long to be reunited, so I will not break my promise. I will give you the saint's spine. I also hope that you will be able to gain enough awareness to obtain the complete saint's remains. Fani Valentine, if you want happiness, you must face disaster. This is your destiny."

After Lu Chen finished speaking, Heart Steel threw the Saint's Spine at Valentine. Lu Chen felt secretly pleased with himself for verbally attacking the President. In comics, it was always the President who verbally attacked others.

Valentine used D4C to take the saint's remains that Lu Chen had thrown over. He then laughed loudly and said, "I will keep my promise. You and Diamond will stay in this world until you get tired of it and leave."

He planned to leave Lu Chen in this world, lest his return affect his plans. He also wasn't about to break his promise to retrieve the diamond. However, he hadn't promised to bring Lu Chen back. For now, he could only stay in this world and fend for himself.

He was about to leave this parallel world when his body suddenly sensed that the Oriental man before him still possessed the ears of a saint. The spine was the most important part, so his previous attention had been focused on it. Valentine then stopped and returned to the basic world.

Lu Chen looked at Valentine's puzzled expression and explained, "I was only talking about the [Saint's Spine], not all the saint's remains in my possession. So the saint's ears still belong to me."

Valentine was puzzled by Lu Chen's actions. Since he was willing to give him the saint's spine, it meant he had no desire for the saint's remains. Regardless of whether his claim of seeking power was true, it made no sense for him to keep the ear in his hands.

Valentine then spoke up: "Since you understand that the remains long to be reunited, why do you want to go against the saint's wishes? If you hand over all the remains to me, you can do whatever you want in this parallel world. After all, you are unique here. When you have had enough fun, you can return to your own world. I will never return to this world again."

"This is another deal. You have to make a new offer."

Valentine hated Lu Chen's greed. But it was good, as greedy people could be made to give up what they had at a price.

After a moment's silence, Valentine offered his own advice: "Give me the Saint's ears, and I'll give you a large sum of money so you can have fun in this world. I can also use my position as President to grant you some privileges." He was ready to give up this world. The basic world was the most important.

Lu Chen was somewhat dismissive of this offer. However, he thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know about insect arrows? Are there arrows in any parallel world? If so, I'm not against making another deal with you."

Valentine had never heard of worm arrows, but knowing the request made things easier. He immediately searched for them throughout the infinite worlds. Then, somewhat wearily, he reappeared and said, "I've asked my various selves in different worlds, and there's no such thing as you describe."

Lu Chen pondered for a moment. Was there no insect arrow here? Was it because the world had been rebooted, or was it for some other reason? It seemed that if he wanted his Stand to become Requiem, he would have to go back to the first four films.

"What a shame, it seems you don't have what I need."

Valentine threatened, "Do you think you can leave without handing over the Saint's ears? Think about why you made a deal with me. You're not strong enough to make a deal with me."

"Maybe now I have a new idea and I'm ready to try again."

After saying this, Lu Chen immediately covered himself with his cloak again, and in an instant, he was back in the basic world. Leaving was just as easy as coming in. However, it seemed like the trip back and forth between parallel worlds was only once. When Lu Chen returned to the basic world, the power D4C had applied to the cloak disappeared.

After realizing the details of D4C's abilities, Lu Chen would no longer cover himself with a cloak.

The president also appeared and looked at Lu Chen with a gloomy face.
