Chapter 149 Sending You to Heaven
He traveled to various ancient civilizations around the world, searching for people with all sorts of special powers, including fortune tellers, exorcists, those who raise ghosts, and those who practice witchcraft...

Thus, Dior gradually devised a way to reach a completely new spiritual realm, to reach paradise!

In order to reach heaven and achieve true peace of mind, one must evolve one's Stand.

Through a special ritual, or perhaps a special Stand, Dio planned to separate his Stand from his original body, causing it to re-enter an unstable state.

Next, find the souls of more than 36 heinous criminals and, through a special ritual, have your substitute devour them.

This result was obtained by referencing mysterious rituals such as raising Gu poison and raising ghost children.

Dior learned from different people all over the world that after a person dies, their soul often ascends directly to heaven. Even if they become a bound spirit due to some accident, they will gradually lose their subjective ability to act and become dull.

Only strong emotions and obsessions etched into the soul during life can drive the soul to continue acting with a certain inertia after death.

Among them, the souls of the good and the evil, in their lifetime, acted in accordance with their hearts, possessing enough power and emotional obsession to penetrate deep into the soul.

Like fire and ice, whether hot or cold, they represent extraordinary power.

The mediocre, on the other hand, have souls as bland as lukewarm water. They can hardly muster strong emotions or obsessions, let alone awaken a substitute with their weak spiritual power.

Among them, villains are Dio's best choice because villains generally have a strong desire for control, and this desire to control everything is exactly what Dio needs.

After detailed calculations, Dio concluded that at least 36 evil souls were needed to fulfill his requirements.

However, once you enter the soul state and absorb the souls of more than 36 evil people, how can you guarantee that you are still yourself, instead of being completely devoured by the souls of 36 evil people and becoming another person with mixed memories?

This question has different answers in different countries, but one common answer is 'spell'.

Certain incantations can awaken specific memories of the souls fused during the ritual.

Looking back on his life and his goals, Dio diligently studied psychology and the mysticism of various countries, condensing his life and goals into fourteen secret phrases.

Then, he continuously imprinted 14 secret phrases onto his own stand's 'world' in the form of scars.

A Stand is the embodiment of the soul. When an imprint is repeatedly made on a Stand, the soul will also deeply remember it.

When one abandons their substitute and their life, and their soul is mixed with other souls through a special ritual, they will almost inevitably lose their self because of this mixing with other souls.

These 14 secret phrases, summarized from one's own life and goals and etched into one's soul, serve as anchors for rediscovering oneself.

Finally, when the self is awakened, the revived obsessions and emotions, mixed with the desires of those evil souls that have been merged into one, will cause the Stand to be greatly impacted and begin to undergo a formal transformation.

But that's still not enough!

The resulting transformation is still too weak. Even if it can indeed bring about a new transformation in the Stand's ability, it will inevitably fail to achieve its true goal.

Therefore, more souls are needed, a sufficiently large number of souls, as nourishment for continued transformation and for continuing to be able to be called "gods"!

But how can so many souls be collected?
By massacre?
This is indeed quite difficult.

Moreover, after completing the initial transformation, if it absorbs souls with different emotions and obsessions again, it is very likely to interrupt the evolutionary process, causing the new ability, which has evolved to be closer to the essence of the Stand ability, to undergo complicated changes.

Therefore, unlike the initial transformation which required strong determination, what is needed next is a soul that is pure enough to be almost devoid of distractions.

But where can we find such a soul?

Are you suggesting using a baby?

It's not impossible, but the required quantity is too large, and collecting it would be too troublesome.

After much deliberation, Dior set his sights on one thing—'Heaven'!
Souls go to heaven after death, and similarly, Dio learned some things through some stand-ins who could summon souls.

That is, in heaven, the soul hardly thinks, but simply sleeps.

In other words, the so-called Kingdom of Heaven is, in some sense, a great storehouse of pure souls!
How then can one get to heaven?
After conducting an investigation and observing the souls that flew into the sky through various rituals, Dio arrived at the following conclusion:

A torrent of souls!

After humans die, their souls do not directly enter the so-called heaven, but gradually gather in the sky, forming a vast torrent.

Such a torrent of souls will travel together along an inexplicable trajectory at certain times and places on Earth. Only after accumulating a sufficiently large amount will it open the gates of heaven and disappear.

In the cultures of ancient countries, the places where spirits reside are called dragon veins or sacred lands...

Dior believed that these places were his best targets.

After careful consideration, Dior selected a relatively ideal location – (28°24′N, 80°36′W).
It was a coastline called Cape Canaveral, where, at the time of the new moon, a considerable torrent of souls would open the gates of heaven at the right time and place and enter.

Dio was absolutely certain that as long as he absorbed the souls of 36 sinners and developed new abilities, he would be able to use the torrent of souls to penetrate him and use that unparalleled soul power to push his Stand to a new level of evolution.

At that point, he might even be able to freely open the path to heaven, turning all the souls contained within heaven into nourishment to drive the continuous evolution of his own clone.

Thus, the 'world' will, through continuous transformation, truly arrive at the essence of the Stand's power, which is to rewrite the world's information, or in other words, to make one's wishes come true.

Once Dio truly masters this power, he will break free from the shackles of fate, truly reach the paradise he has always dreamed of, and truly gain eternal peace of mind!
"However, before my grand plan could begin, you insignificant insects have jumped out on your own."

Dio gazed up at the sky and stated in a detached tone, "Fate does indeed exist. Perhaps your attempts to stop me are a response arranged by fate."

“Fate does not wish for me to successfully complete my plan and thus surpass Heaven.” Dio sneered, pointing at Fang Zheng, “Foolish cube god!”

"Fate may prevent me, Dior, from transcending heaven and destiny, but that also means that as long as I execute my plan correctly, I will surely achieve my goal!"

Dio continued, "I also have to thank you, you silly cube thing. Without your help, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to truly complete my plan!"

"Oh?" Fang Zheng tilted his head, his tone devoid of any emotion. "What do you mean by that?"

“Hehehe…” Dio chuckled softly, and said with emotion, “Globally, the trajectory of the torrent of souls is constantly changing, and the location of the gate to heaven is also changing accordingly.”

“The flow of souls with relatively fixed trajectories and coordinates and the opening of the gates of heaven are extremely rare, and most of them are located deep underground or high in the sky. Places that can be easily reached are even rarer.”

"It was by fate that I could not have arrived at those precise times and places at this moment."

Dior pointed at Fang Zheng and laughed, "But no one says that such a torrent of souls can't be artificially created!"

"You foolish cube god, according to the information I provided, you have carried out a massive massacre of evildoers around the world. The killings of specific groups of people in specific locations constitute an extremely large ritual."

"Driven by cause and effect, the hundreds of thousands of evil souls naturally began to converge on the center of the ritual—Cairo."

Dio continued, "As the souls journeyed toward Cairo, they stirred up other souls, creating a larger torrent."

“In Cairo, I deliberately allowed my men to commit massacres, stirring up the emotions of the residents. By using the panic and the cries of death, I created a fragile spiritual land, a dragon vein.”

Dio looked at Jotaro and his group and laughed wildly, "Do you really think that the mental bursts and Stand power surges during battle are all due to your own efforts? The ritual I arranged in advance deserves at least half the credit!"

"The torrent of souls of the wicked you killed converged on Cairo through the ritual."

Dio continued, “With the help of the ‘Sun’ and ‘Set’, I had those lowly ghouls drive away the crowd, causing their bodies to be shrouded in the shadow of ‘Set’, rewinding time to the state of an embryo or even nothingness, and their souls to the pure state before birth, thus detonating the key point in the ritual!”

"Similarly, Jotaro, you are the key to my path to heaven!"

"The fierce battle with you made my mind increasingly unstable, and my Stand was on the verge of transformation. When I was defeated by you and my head was smashed, my soul and my Stand were both freed!"

"Under the influence of the 'Set God's' retrograde power, my soul and Stand returned to the state before my Stand was awakened, just like going back from adulthood to the embryonic stage."

“A part of my soul and body, according to a pre-arranged ritual, absorbed the souls of all the criminals in this prison as nourishment.”

Imagine it!

"When my already near-transformed soul and Stand, after absorbing a large number of evil souls, were forcibly regressed to the time before my Stand was awakened, my self was awakened by the recitation of 14 secret phrases."

"As the power of the god Set faded, I was reverted to my former soul and leaped towards my original future!"

"When my soul traversed time and reached the critical point where my Stand was supposed to awaken, all the obsessions and emotions within the villain's soul were ignited!" Dio shouted. "And so, my Stand 'World Abyss Glow' began to sprout!"

As Dio continued his story, the time he had been waiting for finally came to an end...

The special ritual constructed by the torrent of souls finally converged here, and the amount of the torrent of souls reached a certain limit.

Dio spread his arms, forming a cross shape, and flew into the air. His body, pierced by hundreds of thousands of souls, emitted a dazzling light and colorless flames.

Behind Dio, the pitch-black figure enveloped in holy flames—the Stand 'World Abyss Radiance'—under the impact of the converging torrent of souls, accompanied by a mysterious shattering sound, completed its final transformation.

As the formless and shapeless gates of heaven opened, hundreds of thousands of souls surged into the kingdom, and holy flames completely engulfed the pitch-black humanoid figure before receding. A golden substitute, like a god, materialized from the void.

"Finally! Finally!"

"Hahahahaha!!!"

Dio laughed wildly, clenching his fists as he felt the surge of new power from his Stand.

"Replicating reality! This is the power to replicate reality! This is the power to overturn everything! This is the power of the gods!"

Suddenly, he looked up at the sky and his gaze locked onto the dazzling sun.

With a hint of maniacal laughter, he reached out his hand towards the sky and gently grabbed it.

Suddenly, a strange thing happened.

The sky seemed to have become a curtain, and Dior's hand looked as if he were plucking a light bulb.

And then, it got dark...

The sun in the sky, which is one astronomical unit away from Earth, about 1.5 million kilometers away, and whose distance even light takes 8 minutes to travel, has disappeared!
Chaos ensued across the Earth. "What is that in the sky?! Why is there a giant hand?!"

"Oh my god! What happened? The sun has disappeared?"

"God! God! Amitabha! Heavenly God! Olympian gods, what on earth has happened?!"

Not only did the sun disappear, but the light that was supposed to last for eight minutes, as well as the sun's gravity, vanished in an instant!

The Earth, which was originally orbiting the Sun, lost its gravitational source and immediately began to move along the tangent of its orbit. After a long period of time, it will completely leave the solar system.

Dio opened his hand, looking at the sun in his palm, which was as small as a marble but contained terrifying power. He smiled and clenched his fist tightly.

With a snap, the sun that nurtured all life on Earth, a star with a mass equivalent to about 33 Earths, releasing about 3.846 × 10^26 joules of energy per second, and capable of burning for another five billion years, was wiped out!

With another light stroke towards the sky, like a primary school student sketching a sun on paper, a brand new sun, a strange sun with a smiling face, was born.

"This! This! This is the power of 'World Beyond Heaven'!"

Dior raised his hands high, as if the whole world was under his control.

From this day forward, destiny will be determined by him; he will decide the fate of the entire world and the fate of all life.

The power of 'World Beyond Heaven' has no limits; it can continuously absorb more souls, further increasing its power indefinitely.

Until one day, he will truly become an all-knowing and all-powerful god!
To bring all living beings under one's control and eternal rule!
True and lasting peace of mind will finally arrive!
Taking a deep breath, Dior's frenzied excitement gradually subsided.

"Alright, the Joestar family, and those ridiculous gods and such, these eyesores, it's time to wipe them out. My new world doesn't need these boring things."

"Huh?" Suddenly, Dio looked at the ugly, cube-shaped figure's movements with a hint of confusion: "What are you doing?"

At this moment, Fang Zheng was building a small platform and placing several pieces of soul sand on it.

Watch as the special effects of the big-nosed villager's head began to emerge on the Soul Sand, slowly gathering at the location of Diogang in mid-air, and then disappearing into thin air.

Fang Zheng nodded. "Yes, I understand."

Dio was somewhat surprised: "Foolish cube, what the hell do you know?"

“Forget it,” Dio shook his head. “I was just too excited and bored. I actually had the mind to talk to a god like you who only acts according to rigid rules. I don’t care what you know. Just disappear. You’re just an eyesore.”

Then, he opened his arms to Fang Zheng, Jotaro Kujo, and the others.

The Stand 'World Beyond Heaven' has begun to replicate reality, aiming to erase it entirely.

"Hmm?" Dio's expression changed.

Jotaro Kujo and the others, who were furious and trying to fight back, were completely wiped out without any power to resist, but that damned cube-shaped man did not change at all.

"Impossible! You're not a god, what kind of thing are you? How can you withstand my invincible power!"

Fang Zheng still didn't care what Dio was doing. He simply hovered in the air, threw a healing potion at the place where the soul had disappeared, and shattered it.

In an instant, as the red spiral of the healing potion spread, even the 'heaven', which should have been formless and intangible and existed on another level, was affected by the power.

A storm of blood and flesh erupted from the sky, and naked people and countless animals were resurrected from the place where souls belong, from that 'heaven'.

Thousands of people fell from mid-air almost simultaneously, crashing to the ground and groaning in pain.

"Awooo!!!" A figure resembling a primitive man howled in terror.

"Where is this place? Why is the underworld so immoral?" asked a person reciting in a broken classical Chinese voice.

"Oh my god!" A devout believer exclaimed in utter terror at the scene before him...

"Hmm, I see." Fang Zheng nodded, observing everyone's reactions.

"So this is what paradise looks like in this world..."

"Then I'm completely relieved. It's time to send you to 'heaven'."

Dio frowned, staring at Fang Zheng who was completely ignoring him. "You damn fool, what the hell are you talking about?"

"What!" Suddenly, Dio's eyes widened, a strong sense of threat rising from his heart, causing him to immediately unleash the power of the world beyond heaven, putting a powerful defense on himself.

Then, the damned blocky man waved his hand and placed a strange block on the ground. Then, a moon-white longsword appeared in his blocky hand.

That was an imperial weapon without any divine spirit among its weapons—the Moon Blade of Taiyin.

Then, the moon-white blade slashed down repeatedly!
Boom boom boom! ! !
In the midst of a silent roar, a destructive force erupted.

With a single slash, the power transmitted transcended time and space, spreading at speeds many times faster than light.

With a single slash, the entire Earth, the entire solar system, the entire Milky Way galaxy...

A spherical region with a radius of approximately 9000 million light-years was thus reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.

With another slash, the combined forces collided outside the boundary of the spherical region with a radius of 9000 million light-years, creating an even larger cosmic void.

Under Dio's horrified gaze, the terrifying blade swung wildly, its destructive power nearly annihilating everything.

Even if such power did not harm him in the slightest.

Under the power of the world beyond heaven, Dio clearly saw an area with a radius of almost one hundred billion light-years being destroyed. The universe was destroyed by its attack as easily as a sandcastle on the beach being smashed by a child.

Terror and rage surged within him. As the endless torrent of energy washed over him, Dio roared, "You damned beast, what the hell are you doing!"

In the center of that destructive energy torrent, where the energy density almost surpassed that of the beginning of creation and the early stages of the Big Bang, the square-shaped figures remained steadfastly on a bedrock, waiting for the energy torrent to cool down over time.

Hearing Dio's roar, Fang Zheng was somewhat surprised that he hadn't been killed. He simply said matter-of-factly, "Of course, I'll send you to heaven."
