Crossover Anime: I Became Invincible Starting as an Ajin

Chapter 128 Three formidable enemies ahead?

On the road ahead of Wang Bai and the others, the three assassins gathered together on Dio's orders.

Faced with Wang Bai and his group who had defeated many powerful enemies, they did not intend to keep the spoils for themselves. Instead, they wanted to cooperate, eliminate Joestar and his group, and then distribute the rewards.

The card's ability represents the sun.

Kenny G is an extremely arrogant person who worships absolute power.

He witnessed the failures of many of his former colleagues.

Whether it's the Hanged Man's cunning, the Empress's treachery, or the lover's manipulation, in his eyes they are all unorthodox methods, tricks that only the weak would rely on.

He firmly believes that true power is an absolute force that is irresistible and cannot be hidden, like the sun.

"Those useless fools, always trying to play tricks, what happened? They were still defeated one by one."

Kenny G was filled with disdain.

"In the face of the true 'sun,' all shadows and tricks will evaporate!"

So what if that guy named Wang Bai has the sharpest senses?

Can he escape the omnipresent sunlight?

Can he withstand the relentless high temperatures?

He believes that the effectiveness of the white-hat manipulator will be greatly reduced in the face of continuous and comprehensive environmental attacks.

Shadows need shade to hide in, but he will make them nowhere to hide; atmosphere needs calm perception, but he will torment their spirits with scorching heat.

He chose to go along the route that Joestar's group would take to reach the next supply depot.

A vast, unprotected, rocky desert was prepared as a battlefield in advance.

His plan was not to explode suddenly, but to control the environment like boiling a frog in warm water.

Hours before the team arrives, he will summon the "Sun" Stand at the designated location.

The initial temperature is not immediately fatal, but it slowly and steadily raises the temperature of the surrounding environment, gradually increasing it to 50 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Celsius, or even higher.

This would make the Joestar team feel like they were entering a giant, slowly heated oven when they stepped into the area.

The sustained high temperatures will rapidly deplete the team members' water and energy, leading to dehydration, heatstroke, and mental fatigue.

They would instinctively seek any possible cover—perhaps the shadow of a giant rock, or the shell of an abandoned vehicle.

But this avoidance of the sun's continuous scorching heat is merely a delay in the process of dying.

This move aims to severely deplete the opponent's physical strength and resources, and force them to focus on fighting the environment, thus creating the perfect opportunity for their two companions to act.

Kenny G is confident that any attempt to break through or fight back in his "Suns" territory is futile.

He doesn't need to hide; he only needs to maintain this majestic aura to exhaust his opponent's last bit of strength in despair.

He looked forward to seeing Wang Bai's spirit collapse under extreme environmental pressure.

In contrast to Kenny G's straightforwardness, Cameo is a cunning schemer who deeply understands human weaknesses. He believes that conquering the body by force is a inferior strategy; undermining the enemy's will from within is the true art.

"The Joestars seem united, but each of them has a crack in their heart," Cameo thought sinisterly. "Jotaro Kujo is burdened with the responsibility of saving his mother and is eager to find Dio; Joseph Joestar is old and may yearn to regain his youth; Polnareff is obsessed with revenge and is searching for the man with two right hands; Kakyoin Noriaki seems calm, but he also has something he cherishes or an unfulfilled ideal—and what is Wang Bai, a visitor from another world, his greatest desire? Return? Power?"

Or should we protect these newly acquainted companions?

He believed that in the extreme pain and despair created by the "sun," the desires deep within the human heart (and humanoid beings) would be amplified infinitely. At that time, the "bait" he threw out would become irresistible.

On the other side, a card representing judgment—

In contrast to Kenny G's straightforwardness, Cameo is a cunning schemer who is well-versed in human weaknesses.

He believed that conquering the body by force was a inferior method, while undermining the enemy's will from within was the true art.

"Jostar and his group may seem united, but each of them has a crack in their heart."

Cameo pondered sinisterly, "Jotaro Kujo carries the responsibility of saving his mother and is eager to find Dio; Joseph Joestar is old and perhaps longs to regain his youth; Polnareff is obsessed with revenge and is searching for the man with two right hands; Kakyoin Noriaki appears calm, but he also has something he cherishes or an unfulfilled ideal—and what is Wang Bai's greatest desire? To return? Power? Or to protect these newly acquainted companions?"

He believed that in the extreme pain and despair created by the "sun," the desires deep within the human heart would be amplified infinitely.

At that time, the "bait" he throws out will become irresistible.

He will lurk on the edge of the "Sun" realm, using sand and his Stand ability to create several "Wishing Clay Dolls" in advance.

.

These clay figurines can be precisely transformed into forms that touch the deepest desires of the group members.

These "wishing clay figures" appear in just the right way when the group is on the verge of collapse under the high temperature.

For example, presenting Jotaro with a clear illusion of a path pointing to Dio's hiding place;

To show Joseph his youthful vigor;

To reveal the clear faces of Polnareff's enemies;

As for Wang Bai, Cameo would try to create a beautiful woman or an object that the other person subconsciously desires.

Once someone succumbs to temptation and touches or makes a wish upon the clay figure, the power of "judgment" will be activated.

At best, it will devour some of the life energy of those who touch it, creating powerful clay golems to attack everyone; at worst, it will directly distort reality, causing terrible backlash to the wisher.

More importantly, this will immediately trigger a crisis of trust within the team.

Why were you tempted?

"What did you wish for?"

"Are you harboring ulterior motives?"

Once the seeds of suspicion are sown, they will quickly take root and sprout in extreme environments, eventually crumbling on their own.

Cameo specifically targeted Wang Bai.

He longed to uncover the secrets of Wang Bai's heart. If he could make Wang Bai lose control due to his desires, and even cause conflict with the Joestar family as a result, it would be a more wonderful victory than killing him directly.

Finally, there's the card representing Death.

Manden Tim, or "Death 13," is a demon who lurks in the dream dimension.

He was cruel and patient, enjoying the process of his prey's mental breakdown without them even realizing it.

He knew that Wang Bai's perception was amazing when he was sober, and a direct confrontation was definitely not the best strategy.

"The real world is your domain? Very well. But dreams are my kingdom."

Death 13 pondered indifferently.

"No matter how capable you are in reality, once you fall asleep, your consciousness becomes my unguarded playground. Even the strongest 'spiritual state' can't protect your sleeping brain."

He believed that no matter how powerful Wang Bai was, as long as he was still a living being who needed rest, he could not escape the control of the dream.

The pressure created by the "sun" and the "judgment" was the perfect catalyst that forced Wang Bai to become mentally exhausted and fall into sleep.

The scorching heat of the "sun" and the psychological temptation of the "judgment" left Wang Bai physically and mentally exhausted.

Even if he only falls into a brief nap or light sleep, Death 13 will immediately lock onto his dream and wield his giant scythe to sneak into it.

In the dream, Death XIII is invincible.

He will weave the cruelest nightmares targeting Wang Bai's deepest fears and obsessions.

The members of Joestar's group died one by one before his eyes due to his flawed decisions.

These realistic hallucinations were designed to completely destroy Wang Bai's mental support, filling him with self-doubt, fear, and despair.

Alternatively, one could delve into the other person's mind, find their vulnerabilities, and then, in conjunction with the power of the sun and judgment, strike at those weaknesses.

The constant torment of dreams prevents Wang Bai from getting real rest in reality.

His spirits are increasingly low and his judgment is declining.

If the time is right, Death 13 could even "kill" Wang Bai's consciousness directly in his dream, causing him to fall into brain death or go completely insane in reality.

Without Wang Bai, the core strategist and strategist of the team, the remaining Joestar group's defeat under the siege of "The Sun" and "Judgment" is only a matter of time.

The three of them have abilities that complement and enhance each other—a perfect match, like two substitutes made in heaven.

Now all we need to do is wait for the target to arrive!

The wheels kicked up dry sand as they drove along the seemingly endless Gobi Desert highway.

The heat wave in the air had begun to distort the distant scenery, but this heat seemed different from usual.

Wang Bai leaned against the car window, closing his eyes to rest, yet his spiritual power acted like the most sophisticated sensor, constantly sensing the flow of energy in his surroundings.

Suddenly, he frowned slightly and opened his eyes.

This weather feels a bit off.

It wasn't just intense heat; the surrounding temperature was rising at an unnatural rate.

A vast, scorching, and hostile energy source, like an invisible, igniting furnace, hung high in the sky above them.

"Something's not right." Wang Bai's voice broke the silence in the car, clear and calm. "The temperature is rising too fast, too quickly. This isn't natural weather; something is manipulating it."

Joseph, who was driving, immediately became alert; his seasoned adventurer's intuition told him something was amiss. "Could it be—?"

Before he finished speaking, as if to confirm Wang Bai's judgment, the sky suddenly became even more dazzling!

It wasn't that the clouds parted and the sun shone; rather, in the already bright sky, an even more dazzling and scorching orb of light suddenly appeared. It was like a miniature, angry sun, hanging high in the sky, relentlessly pouring light and heat down on the small area below!

"It's a Stand attack!" Joseph jerked the steering wheel, trying to find a way out.

But as far as the eye could see, there were only bare rocks and sand, with almost no decent shelter.

"That sphere of light—it's the 'sun'!"

The well-informed Abuder began to explain to the crowd.

"sun?!"

Polnareff gasped, feeling the terrifying temperature rise suddenly through the car window, as if he had been thrown into an oven.

"Quick! Drive behind that giant rock!"

Abuder pointed to a huge, weathered rock not far ahead and shouted that it was the only place in this open area that seemed to offer some shelter.

The vehicle roared and scrambled into the narrow shadow cast by the giant rock.

The smell of overheating emanated from under the hood, and the interior of the car instantly turned into a steam room.

Everyone hurriedly got off the car, their backs pressed against the scorching hot rocks. Even their exposed skin felt the sunlight sting like burning needles.

"Damn it—it's so hot!"

Polnareff tugged at his collar, sweat instantly soaking his front. His breathing became rapid and labored. "It feels like the air in my lungs is about to catch fire!"

Jotaro lowered the brim of his hat, the shadow obscuring part of his expression, but his tightly pursed lips and the beads of sweat sliding down his jawline showed that he was also enduring torment.

The platinum star within him was poised to strike, but it could not find a target to attack.

Kakyoin attempted to summon the Green Emperor, whose green rope-like Stand tried to extend out to investigate. However, under such intense light and heat interference, its perception range became extremely limited and blurry, as if the signal had been severely interfered with.

Although Avdol's Red Magician controls fire, he is powerless against the continuous and all-encompassing high temperature of the environment. The flames seem to have lost their former majesty in front of the "sun".

Wang Bai leaned quietly against the rock, feeling the deepest emotions.

His Shadow Legion was born to be accompanied by light and shadow.

But at this moment, under the almost omnipresent intense light of the "sun," the shadows were compressed to the extreme.

Like ice and snow exposed to the sun, movement became exceptionally difficult and exhausting. Each time the shadows were summoned, it felt like wading through viscous lava.

The insight he relied on to foresee opportunities required many times more effort than usual to penetrate the interference of this scorching energy field and the restlessness he felt due to the high temperature, in order to maintain the necessary calmness and perception.

This is not just physical torture, but also a form of mental anguish.

The holder of "Sun" has a very clear goal—to use the purest environmental power to consume and torment them, causing them to slowly lose their will to resist in despair.

"Water—how much water is left?" Joseph's voice was a little hoarse.

Abudel checked his water bottle, his expression grave: "Not much left, we must conserve. In this environment, dehydration will quickly wear us down."

Time passed slowly and steadily, and the shadow of the giant rock shrank as the "sun" moved, leaving them with an increasingly smaller safe zone.

My throat was sore and dry, my lips were cracked, and my head was starting to feel a little dizzy from lack of oxygen and the high temperature.

Polunarev even experienced mild tinnitus.

Just when everyone was exhausted and their willpower was at its weakest due to the continuous high temperature, another change occurred!

Beyond the distant curtain of air, distorted drastically by the heatwave, some blurry, swaying images began to emerge. They were initially indistinct, but gradually became concrete as the spiritual yearning was projected—

Polnareff's eyes widened. He seemed to see a swaying palm tree and clear, reflective water! "It's—it's an oasis?! We're saved!" He leaned forward instinctively, his parched throat making a swallowing motion.
