Chapter 125 The Empress's Wheel of Fate Cannot Be Reset!

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked down at his right arm.

Under sunlight, the skin on his arm looked normal.

However, his keen perception of the scene allowed him to detect that the muscle texture under the skin seemed to be wriggling slightly and unnaturally.

An energy that doesn't belong to him, filled with greed and malice, is taking root and growing there!

"Stop the car!" Wang Bai shouted in a low voice, his tone carrying an unquestionable seriousness.

The driver instinctively slammed on the brakes. Everyone on the bus looked at him with puzzled expressions.

"Wang Bai, what's wrong?" Joseph asked.

Wang Bai did not answer immediately. He rolled up the sleeve of his right arm, his gaze sharp as a knife, staring intently at his arm.

Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, the skin on his arm began to bulge unnaturally, forming a blurry...

A throbbing, pulsating bulge, like a tumor!

The bulge seemed to have a mind of its own, rapidly devouring his flesh and blood to grow stronger!

"What is this?!" Polnareff exclaimed in horror.

"It's a Stand attack!" Avdol immediately realized. "When—"

"Hehehe!" The tumor actually grew a mouth and mocked Wang Bai, "You've been targeted by me. I'm the stand-in user symbolizing the Empress card."

As the tumor grew, Wang Bai felt the sensation of being devoured in his body become even stronger.

Let me guess what you're thinking right now!

A face that looked unsettling grew out of the mouth from the tumor.

"You think only a Stand can defeat another Stand, but you have other ways!"

"The Imaginary Tree! Magic and Immortality!"

"Hahaha, I never expected my host to have so many secrets, and that he's not even human!"

"That's truly amazing!"

The Empress's double's unsettling face emitted a shrill laugh; it not only parasitized the body but also peered into Wang Bai's thoughts!

The Imaginary Tree, magic, immortality—these are Wang Bai's greatest secrets, laid bare before his companions!

Upon hearing this, Joseph, Jotaro, and the others all showed a look of shock and disbelief in their eyes.

Not human?

Imaginary Tree?

This information far exceeded their understanding of Stands and supernatural powers.

Wang Bai's heart sank, but he maintained absolute composure on his face.

While it's troublesome to have the secret exposed, the most important thing right now is to deal with this parasite!

"Mind reading? Unfortunately, what you know is only the surface level that I want you to know."

Wang Bai's voice was cold, carrying a condescending sarcasm.

He must turn the tide immediately and not allow the Empress to continue digging and causing chaos!

Instead of trying to force the Empress out of his body, Wang Bai made an even more extreme decision—to completely control the battlefield inside his arm! He fully activated his intent power, compressing and condensing the Shadow Legion's concept of "shadow" to the extreme, making it like an invisible swarm of nanobots, actively infiltrating the flesh and blood area parasitized by the Empress!

This is not a brutal division, but a more subtle "shadow assimilation" and "territory struggle"!

"Ah! What is this?! Your power—is polluting my domain!" The Empress's laughter abruptly stopped, replaced by a scream of shock and rage.

Inside Wang Bai's arm, a silent microscopic war broke out.

The power of shadow is no longer about cutting; instead, it begins to erode and cover the energy roots extending from the Empress's Stand.

As the shadows spread, Wang Bai gradually regained control of the parasitic organization. The "nutrients" that the Empress sensed began to become mixed and difficult to absorb, even carrying a cold, shadowy attribute that rejected it.

"It's no use! It's no use!"

The empress screamed and accelerated her devouring, trying to fully strengthen herself before losing control and bursting out of her body.

The tumor writhed violently, growing larger and more grotesque, and the human face even tried to break free from its grasp.

"Do you think you're the only one who can absorb it?"

A cold smile curled at the corner of Wang Bai's lips.

He risked mobilizing an extremely weak trace of the primal power from the seed of the Imaginary Tree, not for attack, but to "transform" and "overwrite" its properties, mixing it with the shadow energy and injecting it together!

The empress greedily absorbed this seemingly more "advanced" energy, only to discover to her horror that after entering its core, this energy was not assimilated but instead began to reverse!

It felt that the power it had painstakingly gathered was being forcibly "rewritten" into another form that it could not understand or control by this foreign energy, and it was even about to be absorbed by Wang Bai's body!

"No! Stop! This is my power!"

The empress was completely panicked; she felt as if she was not being devoured, but rather being "digested"!

"Yours? No,"

Wang Bai felt the reversal of the balance of power within his arm and slowly said, "From the moment you stepped into my domain, everything about you, including the so-called secrets you've read," has become my prey.

He exploited the Empress's mind-reading and greed, deliberately leaking some real information as bait to lower her guard, and then used his true trump card—a sliver of the Imaginary Tree's essence that "overwrites reality and possibility," combined with the Shadow Legion's internal corruption, to complete a desperate counterattack!

"puff--!"

This time, it wasn't the tumor that was forced out, but the entire energy structure of the Empress's stand, along with that ugly head, was forcibly "washed out" from the wound on Wang Bai's arm by a torrent of energy mixed with shadow and glimmer!

It landed on the car floor, no longer in the form of a complete tumor, but a twisted energy ball that flickered between solid and shadow, with an extremely unstable structure, emitting a mournful and unwilling howl.

"Impossible—how could I—be—"

The already wary crowd needed no further explanation.

"Euro!"

"Judgment by Flames!"

"Silver Chariot!"

The concentrated fire instantly annihilated the unstable energy.

The carriage fell silent again. The wound on Wang Bai's arm was still visible, but the uncomfortable wriggling and sucking sensation had completely disappeared.

His face was pale and his breathing was somewhat disordered, not only due to physical exhaustion, but also due to the burden brought about by using that trace of the Imaginary Tree's essence.

He looked up and met the complex and inquisitive gazes of his companions—shock, doubt, concern, and a hint of awe at the unknown.

Wang Bai took a deep breath, knowing that some explanations were necessary, or at least partial explanations.

"As it reads, I am not an ordinary human. I come from—another world. The Imaginary Tree is one of my sources of power."

As for immortality," he paused, glancing at Jotaro, "to some extent, what you call 'Ripple' or Stands is a special constitution, not true immortality."

He selectively revealed parts of the truth, both responding to the shock he had just experienced and providing a reasonable explanation for his uniqueness.

Joseph stroked his chin, his eyes sharp: "Another world—that's much more troublesome than Dio. But at least for now, we're partners fighting side by side, right?" The shrewd Joseph chose to accept and trust for the time being.

Jotaro pulled down his hat brim: "Yare yare daze—what a troublesome fellow."

But the hostility in his tone had dissipated, replaced by an acknowledgment of the strong and a willingness to fight side by side.

Wang Bai nodded: "Our goal is the same: to defeat Dio. That's enough."

The vehicle traveled along the desolate Gobi Desert highway, the atmosphere heavy and oppressive. A familiar figure appeared by the roadside, waving—it was An, the young illegal immigrant.

"well--!!"

Everyone was helpless.

After all, there's no way to leave such a young child here alone.

But how exactly did this little guy find them?

Or was it just a coincidence?

After driving for a while, the group saw a dilapidated red sedan ahead.

Following behind the other car's dilapidated vehicle, the dust kicked up choked Polunarev several times.

"Pfft, what a piece of junk!"

Polnareff complained that not only was the other driver going very slowly, but the dust kicked up by the other driver was so thick that it was hard to breathe.

Polunarev floored the accelerator and drove past the other car on the right.

"Hey, that's too dangerous!"

Joestar warned.

"Also, didn't the rock you just threw graz the other car?"

Polnareff: "Whatever, that guy can't catch us anyway!"

However, after driving for a while, they noticed that the red car was still closely following them and kept honking its horn to urge them on.

"What happened? How did they catch up with us?"

Joestar advised, "Forget it, let them go."

Watching the conflict, a thought suddenly popped into Wang Bai's head: "Could the other side be a stand-in, deliberately doing this to assassinate us?"

Everyone was stunned. After thinking about it, they felt that what the other person said made a lot of sense.

"Forget it, there's no need to think too hard. Let's just use a simpler method."

"The Shadow Legion!"

As Wang Bai finished speaking, numerous shadowy soldiers emerged from the cliff above.

They descended from the sky and landed on the red vehicle behind them, conjuring shadow weapons in their hands and stabbing them viciously into the driver's seat.

Since there's no way to tell, you only need to attack once to determine if the opponent is a Stand user.

If they were truly Stand users, they would never risk being attacked and killed without defending themselves.

The next second, the red vehicle suddenly transformed into a terrifying war machine.

The sturdy vehicle shell withstood the attack of the shadow soldiers.

"I didn't expect you to find out so quickly. How did you figure out I was the assassin who was meant to kill you?!"

"But now that I've been discovered, then witness the power of my Wheel of Fortune!"

A question arose from within the red chariot.

If the Stand had been a little slower to appear, it probably would have been killed by that black Stand.

There's a truly ruthless killer among them!

But before they could finish speaking, the red chariot accelerated.

"It's a Stand attack! Something's wrong with that car!" Joseph yelled, trying to maneuver the vehicle to avoid it.

But the red sports car "Wheel of Fortune" has performance far beyond the ordinary, and like a persistent ailment, it repeatedly pushes them to the brink of danger.

Finally, after a violent impact, their vehicle went out of control, rolled over the roadside guardrail, and plunged down the steep cliff!

"Green Emperor!" Kakyoin reacted extremely quickly. The Green Emperor, like a snake emerging from its hole, swiftly shot out a cable that precisely hooked onto another protruding rock above the cliff!

The downward momentum decreased sharply, but the vehicle was still hanging in mid-air, teetering on the verge of falling.

"Ora!" Jotaro's Star Platinum grabbed the cable, unleashing a powerful burst of strength that pulled the entire vehicle, along with its occupants, upwards!

During its ascent, Star Platinum delivered a powerful punch, smashing the Wheel of Fortune, which was attempting to continue its attack, causing it to tumble and plummet into the abyss.

The group, still shaken, had just returned to the road.

"Hahaha! You fools!"

A loud voice came from the radio in their wrecked vehicle.

"My Wheel of Fortune won't be taken down so easily!"

Before they could finish speaking, the ground beneath their feet suddenly cracked open!

The red sports car that should have crashed instead emerged from the ground in an even more ferocious form, covered with drill bits and spikes, and smashed their wrecked vehicle to pieces!

"Scatter!" Abuder exclaimed.

Everyone scrambled to get out of the way.

The "Wheel of Fate," which had transformed into a monster truck, turned around, and a large amount of viscous liquid sprayed from its roof like a water truck—it was gasoline!

"Oh no!" Polnareff realized what the other party was planning to do.

Sparks flew from the front of the Wheel of Fortune, instantly igniting the gasoline vapors filling the air!

"boom--!"

The flames instantly engulfed Jotaro, who was standing at the very front!

"Jotaro!!" Joseph and the others cried out in terror.

Amidst the flames, Jotaro's figure could be vaguely seen struggling before slowly collapsing.

"Mr. Jotaro!" Kakyoin and Polnareff's eyes were splitting.

Z.Z, the messenger who manipulates the wheel of fate, lets out a triumphant laugh: "It's over! Jotaro Kujo!"

However, just when everyone thought Jotaro had met with misfortune, Wang Bai, who had been calmly observing, suddenly spoke up. His spiritual senses detected a faint movement and a gathering of fighting spirit from beneath the ground.

"Don't be fooled by appearances." Wang Bai's voice was like a reassuring balm. "Jotaro isn't that easy to kill."

As if to prove his words, the ground beneath Z·Z's feet suddenly exploded!

It was Jotaro!

The instant the flames reached him, he used Star Platinum to dig a hole in the ground and hide underground!

"Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora—!!!"

Star Platinum's furious punches were like a storm, instantly shattering the massive "Wheel of Fortune" Stand into pieces, sending parts flying everywhere! Z·Z himself was also dragged out by Star Platinum and thrown into an open space in the distance like trash.

Enraged, Jotaro stepped forward and unleashed a relentless barrage of Ora attacks on the limp Z·Z until Joseph intervened and finally chained him to a giant rock.

Without the support of the Stand's power, the monstrous truck turned back into a dilapidated old car.

Left with no other option, the team had to requisition this only vehicle to continue their journey.
