Chapter 157 Another Eternal Cycle

However, at 6:01 a.m., the moment it was time to jump rope, Kawajiri Hayato woke up from his bed as the alarm clock rang, and once again heard Kira Yoshikage's familiar, nauseating voice.

His spirits were once again dragged to the bottom by despair.

As the true form of the Stand Killer Queen, even if Yoshikage Kira is killed in the time loop, he still cannot affect the time loop at all.

But what if the number of people killed continues to rise? What if the amount of property destroyed continues to increase?

Kawajiri Hayato rallied his spirits.

After Killer Queen detonated her third bomb, she resided in Hayato Kawajiri's body. Despite his numerous suicide attempts, he was unable to affect Killer Queen and awoke the next morning after his death.

So, what if Yoshikage Kira himself retrieved Killer Queen and defused the third bomb?
Under the influence of some kind of 'fate', those who are killed by the third bomb, Bites Dust, or the broken items in each cycle will encounter the exact same fate as in the previous cycle at the same time in the next cycle, not a second earlier or later.

This means that such traces can accumulate in different cycles.

Through repeated cycles, Hayato Kawajiri has figured out the thoughts of Yoshikage Kira, the devil; what he seeks is peace of mind.

Then, I'll shatter your peace of mind!

In yet another loop, Hayato Kawajiri found a megaphone and repeatedly roared at the top of his lungs (Kosaku Kawajiri was killed by Yoshikage Kira and his identity was stolen!).
Sure enough, everyone who heard those words died from an explosion that appeared out of nowhere inside their bodies.

Yoshikage Kira, who seeks a peaceful life, wonders how he can continue living peacefully if everyone around him dies.
As expected, in a state of panic and rage, Yoshikage Kira withdrew his Stand, Killer Queen, and even defused the third bomb right in front of Hayato Kawajiri.

As he was killed by the enraged Yoshikage Kira, Hayato Kawajiri was surprisingly calm.

He knew very well that if such a huge number of deaths and injuries had occurred, and if there were other Stand users in the world, then Yoshikage Kira's peaceful life had been shattered. Perhaps he could still go to other towns and live in anonymity, but sooner or later, he might be found and killed by other powerful Stand users. Even if he had been dead for many years by then, he would at least have avenged his father.

As consciousness drifted into oblivion and then returned to clarity, Hayato Kawajiri was filled with despair to discover that time had once again returned to 6:01 AM on August 13, 1999.

Furthermore, all those who were killed by the third bomb, Bites the Dust, in the previous cycle because they had revealed information, as well as the items damaged by their own traps and other actions, have all been restored to their original state.

Everything has been refreshed again.

Thus, Hayato Kawajiri finally got the information about the third bomb.

On August 13, 1999, the timeline will endlessly rewind. Whether Yoshikage Kira is killed, too many people die or are injured, or too much destruction is caused, even if Yoshikage Kira, the devil, actively recalls Killer Queen and deactivates the third bomb, everything will be refreshed and returned to the state at the time of the first cycle.

Even Kira Yoshikage himself, as the true form of Killer Queen, is eternally trapped in this endless time loop.

After a long period of despair, Hayato Kawajiri rallied.

Now that he knew about the so-called substitute, he believed that there must be some kind of power that could stop the continuous rewinding of time.

Because proactively revealing information would result in those who noticed being killed in an explosion, Hayato Kawajiri began to probe, testing where the boundary line was.

He quickly came up with the idea of ​​using the property that items destroyed in the previous cycle would also be destroyed in the next cycle to transmit information.

In a single cycle, no information can be conveyed, whether through hints, words, or handwriting; all of these would result in the person who discovers the information being blown up.

But what if we piece together the information left over from each cycle?
In each cycle, all that is done is to leave a tiny, meaningless dot on the wall with a small stone.

With just a few dozen loops, these tiny dots can be pieced together to form a character, and with just a few thousand loops, these pieced-together characters can transmit information.

Again and again, again and again...

Hayato Kawajiri continued this Foolish Old Man Moving Mountains project until one of his experiments, a passerby who was attracted by him was startled when he saw the words that suddenly appeared on the walls, but was not killed by the explosion. Only then did he realize that he had succeeded.

From this point on, Hayato Kawajiri used the simplest process of elimination in each cycle to find the Stand users in Morioh, trying his best to lure them to the place where he recorded information, letting them see the writing on the wall and think for themselves, carving new writing on the wall for the next cycle.

In one cycle after another, the Stand users, those with the potential to become Stand users, were convinced by themselves to unite and try to break this endless cycle.

However, they all failed...

Every single attempt, without exception, failed...

Whether it was to steal the arrowhead from Yoshihiro Kira, Yoshikage's father, or to use that arrowhead to help each Stand user try to evolve their Stand.

Or it could be a special ritual called "going to heaven" provided by Jotaro Kujo.

Or perhaps, in that short day, they used the process of elimination, with the help of Jotaro Kujo and the Speedwagon Foundation behind Joseph Joestar, to search the entire world for those whose abilities are related to time and who might be able to break this endless cycle.

(It failed, it failed, it failed...)
At the far end of the sewer wall, there were incoherent, chaotic, and frantic writings.

Those were the words Kawajiri Hayato used to vent his frustration after his first complete breakdown and when he gave up entirely.

However, as endless time passes, Kawajiri Hayato, whose mental state is forever reset at 6:01 AM on every August 13, 1999, whose memories are constantly piling up and being forgotten deep in his soul, will one day rekindle his rebellious spirit.

In this eternal cycle of reincarnation that began on August 13, 1999, anything that was broken in the previous cycle will inevitably be broken in the next.

This time can only be brought forward, not postponed.

Although this 'fate' is fixed, there is still a slight room for change.

In these cycles, even if nothing changes, even if Hayato Kawajiri offers absolutely no resistance.

Ultimately, the friction between your feet and the ground, and the weathering brought by the breeze during your daily walks, will all be preserved.

In theory, after a sufficiently long cycle has passed, in the instant a new cycle begins, the entire earth and all the buildings on Earth will collapse due to weathering and the residual stress from previous cycles.

However, whether it was a legacy left over a long period of time, or Kawajiri Hayato's repeated thoughts of resistance, he left traces and transmitted information in various ways...

Everything, once it disturbs the peaceful life of Kawajiri Kosaku, or rather, Kira Yoshikage, will be reset all over again...

Now, all the writing that might remain in the sewer in front of Fang Zheng and in Morio Town are simply traces left from the last rebellion.

Behind the repeated updates to the status and the subsequent loss of any trace of resistance, how many times has despair been experienced?

Even Kawajiri Hayato himself has long since lost count...

Silently waiting in the sewer, Fang Zheng watched as the writing finally emerged, witnessing the resistance, the courage to defy fate, the struggle, the despair…

After a long while, a sigh echoed from the sewer.

Tilting his head, Fang Zheng looked at Kawajiri Hayato, whose spirit had been eroded by the vast amount of memories unearthed and who could only recover with the help of the cycle's power during the next flashback. He then said:
"I know everything about you." "Don't worry, leave the rest to me."

A way to break the time loop has already emerged from the intelligence.

In these countless cycles of time, the only thing that remains unchanged, the only thing that can possibly be broken, is only one thing—the soul of Hayato Kawajiri!

But the memories of other people's souls are refreshed with each cycle of time.

The only difference between the two is that the Killer Queen resides in Hayato Kawajiri's soul.

However, the information recorded on the wall, through countless cycles, with the help of all sorts of strange Stand abilities, even Killer Queen, who resided in Hayato Kawajiri's soul, was killed more than once, yet still could not break the cycle of time.

The souls of this world possess a completely different essence from the so-called souls of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Since it can awaken such unreasonable abilities as the so-called Stand, and even more outrageous abilities such as 'World Beyond Heaven' and 'Killer Queen 3rd Bomb Bites the Dust'.

This means that, at least to some extent, the so-called soul and the substitute have the same essence.

So let's give it a try. Let's see if, after emptying the soul of the entire universe, this so-called loser eating dust, this so-called time loop, can create a new soul out of thin air.

As the iron bucket appeared in Fang Zheng's hand, the World Sea Warship was placed.

Fangzheng's voice command was issued.

In an instant, the entire universe, except for the being named Yoshikage Kira, was swallowed up by the World Sea Battleship.

The next moment, the World Sea Battleship was collected in its liquid form.

Standing in the endless vacuum, watching the man named Yoshikage Kira struggling in pain from lack of oxygen, Fang Zheng just watched silently.

Watching him die in agony, watching his body drift in the vacuum.

As time gradually passes, and the universe is refreshed once again.

However, in this cycle, even though everything else remains the same, in that small town called Morioh...

As Kira Yoshikage was happily sipping coffee and eating a sandwich, he heard a thud.

"Hmm?" He frowned and suddenly noticed that Kawajiri Kosaku's wife, Kawajiri Shinobu, and son, Kawajiri Hayato, who had been smiling as they watched him eat breakfast, were now lying lifelessly on the ground.

"Is it a Stand attack?"

After a brief inspection, Kira Yoshikage cautiously moved away from the two corpses, biting his rapidly growing fingernails, somewhat anxious.

"What on earth happened? My third bomb, Bites the Dust, should have given me peace of mind forever, right?"

"Who launched an attack before I could detonate my third bomb?"

I cautiously walked to the door and looked carefully. Outside the door, a passerby was also lying on the ground.

In its cautious and meticulous exploration, the entire town of Morioh, everyone, every pet, every insect...

All life seemed to have lost its vitality at the same moment.

Growing increasingly anxious, Yoshikage Kira sped through the streets in his car, constantly searching.

Through television and the internet, he noticed that the entire Earth seemed to have lost its vitality at the same moment.

"What happened! What happened?!"

As evening fell, standing on the beach in Morioh, looking at the various fish carcasses scattered on the shore by the waves, and smelling the stench of decay, Yoshikage Kira finally couldn't take it anymore.

He suffered a complete mental breakdown and roared hysterically.

In this deserted world...

Even if he summons the Killer Queen back to try and disarm the third bomb, Bites the Dust.

可是，当1999年8月14日到来，6:00跨越到6:01的时候，一切又回归原样。

Kira Yoshikage was eating breakfast with a relaxed expression when he heard a thud and saw Kawajiri Shinobu and Kawajiri Hayato lying on the ground, looking dazed.

After repeated investigations, until dusk, he stood on the beach reeking of seafood, roaring hysterically.

Again and again, again and again...

He once spent countless peaceful, joyful, leisurely, and happy years in a state of complete ignorance and unawareness, as his memories were refreshed every morning.

And now, in this universe where not a single life exists, he will continue forever.

This is an eternal cycle aimed at him, at Yoshikage Kira!
If we say that all so-called substitutes are unreasonable entities whose abilities stem from some kind of expectation of their original self.

Fang Zheng's encounter with Dio, and the changes in the previous parallel universe, made him realize that there was something behind the Stand.

That thing could perhaps be called 'fate'.

That so-called fate, or even some kind of consciousness.

So, under this eternal cycle of reincarnation, even with each refresh of memories, how long can Yoshikage Kira, or rather, the one behind Killer Queen, that unknown entity, endure?
Time and time again, year after year...

100 years, 1 years, 1 million years...

Billions of years, trillions of years, trillions of years...

Yoshikage Kira continued that painful cycle almost eternally, while Fang Zheng always watched him, always waiting for some kind of change.

Many years later, one day, Yoshikage Kira roared hysterically on the beach once again. Killer Queen appeared without his summons, her cold and ruthless eyes staring at his true form.

With a single touch, Yoshikage Kira was reduced to nothingness by his own Stand in a silent explosion.

The cycle of eternal reincarnation has shattered...
