Chapter 144, 14 Secret Phrases

After determining the extent of the strange, shrinking area, the group cautiously approached it.

They surrounded the strange green baby, looking at Dio, who was so close yet had a blank expression and was even drooling. The men frowned, unsure of what to do.

The surrounding plants grew in an extremely bizarre way; they had human faces, or rather, they grew from human bodies, nourished by human flesh and blood.

There are a total of 36 strange plants transformed from humans, their roots connected together, and a fruit condenses in the center, inside which is the strange green baby.

Joseph analyzed, "These 36 guys who turned into plants are probably prisoners in this prison."

"But why did they turn into plants? Why did they condense into a green baby?"

Hermit Purple once again displayed its might, presenting a frenzied battlefield in a dynamic scene composed of dust on the ground.

All the prisoners in the prison were released and gathered in different squares.

In the square, after a flash of some kind of electric current flickered in the sewage, the prisoners began to fight each other with excited and angry expressions.

In the frenzied battle, only one person remained in the end.

"Is this some kind of cult?" Abudel suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.

In the ancient culture of a certain country, in some remote areas, there exists a practice known as "raising Gu" (a type of poisonous insect).

That is, to collect all kinds of poisonous insects, gather them together, let them fight each other, and finally only one remains. That one is the product that gathers the essence of all the poisonous insects and has some extraordinary power.

As a truly skilled diviner, Abuder had traveled to different countries and actually encountered so-called Gu worms, almost suffering a great loss as a result.

"The purpose of raising Gu is to gather the essence of different poisonous insects. If this is really raising Gu, then what power is Dio trying to gather by using prisoners from the prison to raise Gu?"

According to the footage provided by Hermit Purple, this behavior occurred a total of 36 times. The number in the video kept decreasing, representing the 36 battles that left only 36 prisoners out of the more than 5000 inmates in the entire prison.

Then, these 36 wounded prisoners were driven by a Stand user to gather in this garden for a final battle.

As each prisoner died, a strange plant sprouted from a bone, releasing spores that grew on their corpses, using them as nourishment to grow, and eventually coalesced into that bizarre baby.

Dior used a method of raising venomous insects to gather more than 5000 people in the prison into the final 36, and then used these 36 people as nourishment to condense this green baby. What exactly is he trying to do?
The group tried to attack, but under the cover of that invisible domain, no attack had any effect.

Whether it's the Emerald Water Splash launched by the Green Emperor, the Fireball unleashed by the Red Magician, or the Hermit Purple's attempt to lift the entire ground...

Even when Joseph had a sudden inspiration and tried to use ripples to condense light for an attack, it had no effect whatsoever.

Any attempt to attack shrinks infinitely within the realm of Zeno's tortoise paradox until it vanishes into nothingness.

Joseph frowned even more as he looked at Fang Zheng, who remained standing there motionless and silent.

He tried to ask Fang Zheng for help, asking if he could kill Dio.

However, Fang Zheng, the only one who might have been able to break through Zeno's tortoise domain by using unconditional coordinate transformation, shook his head after some attempts.

Fang Zheng tried both the Nether Alloy Sword, which reduced health, and the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword, but to no avail.

Even teleportation is the same.

While moving along the coordinates, it is indeed possible to reach the designated coordinate point. However, at this moment, the green baby in front of Fang Zheng, although it seems to be right in front of him, is shrinking in size as Fang Zheng moves forward, just like the baby in the coordinate input.

It appears to be only 4 meters, but when you input a distance of 4 meters in the coordinate teleportation, you can only enter 2 meters.

If you input a coordinate distance of 8 meters, you can only move forward 3 meters.

The domain that appears to be Zeno's tortoise in front of me doesn't shrink matter as you get closer; it actually warps space.

Just as the closer you get to the singularity of a black hole, the more the curvature of space tends to infinity.

The area surrounding this strange green infant expands towards infinity the closer one gets to it. Fang Zheng, capable of teleportation but limited to a three-dimensional scale, could try inputting ∞ in coordinate teleportation, but was unwilling to risk the unknown.

With an infinite distance, who knows where we'll end up?

Even if it's just about stretching and compressing a three-dimensional space to make the spatial scale approach infinity, an imperial weapon that could potentially tear space apart might have a chance to violently break it.

However, Fang Zheng was unwilling to risk annihilating millions of light-years in a single blow by using the Imperial Weapon.

"Damn it!" Jotaro could only curse angrily as his enemy was right in front of him, yet he was powerless against him.

His body had returned to the age of a junior high school student, and he clenched his fists, his fingertips making a cracking sound.

"If I could stop time, perhaps I could break through this barrier, but right now I can't summon my Platinum Star..."

If it weren't for the time reversal ability that caused Jotaro's time to go backward, giving him Star Platinum and awakening a time-stopping ability similar to Dio's, he might have been able to break through Zeno's turtle domain while in time stop, calmly walk up, and kill the resurrected Dio with a single punch.

But now, the power to turn back time has completely dissipated; there are still at least several minutes left.

Even if time were to reverse, Dio, resurrected by this power, would return to the state of a corpse.

But what exactly will Dior do in those few minutes?
No one knew. They could only stand there silently, using all their abilities, but they couldn't stop what was about to happen.

Suddenly, Dio, who had been sitting on the ground as if in a daze and seemingly devoid of consciousness, began to speak.

Dior's magnetic, yet deep and hollow, emotionless voice began to rise, chanting some secret incantation containing a special meaning—

"Spiral Staircase"

rhinoceros beetle

"Ruined Streets"

Fig Tart

rhinoceros beetle

The Way of Mother Teresa

rhinoceros beetle

"Singularity"

Giotto

"Angel"

Hydrangea

rhinoceros beetle

"Singularity"

"The Secret Emperor"

As the 14 secret incantations were recited, the eerie green infant, which had been curled up in a ball, opened its blood-red eyes. It looked at Dio, who was staring blankly at it, and suddenly opened its mouth and bit down.

Amidst the flying blood and flesh, the green baby gradually merged with Dio's body.

Dio's lifeless eyes gradually began to regain their sparkle.
