Crossover Anime: I Became Invincible Starting as an Ajin

Chapter 139 Illusions and Sub-Void Miasma

"You—who exactly are you?!" Trish's voice was tinged with fear.

Wang Bai slowly released the joystick, looked at Trish's phantom image, and said calmly, "The game is over."

As he spoke, the mental game room constructed by the god Atum began to shake violently and became unstable.

Wang Bai's unusually calm demeanor and the way he cracked the game shook Trish's confidence and also interfered with Atum's absolute control over the spiritual realm.

In the real world, Trish Darby, standing in front of the mansion, groaned, his face turning pale. The screen of the game console in his hand flickered a few times before going dark.

He stared incredulously at Wang Bai, who slowly opened his eyes, his gaze still calm as still water, and at Jotaro, who, despite losing the game, had resisted the soul extraction with his strong will and was staring at him with murderous eyes.

He knew he had been defeated!

Once Trish believed he had lost, he had met the requirements for his Stand and internally believed he had failed.

Suddenly, his clone gradually disappeared, and he could not summon it no matter how he tried.

In front of Trish, the stand-ins of Wang Bai and the others had already appeared.

"Ora la la la!!!!"

A barrage of fists struck him directly, causing him to lose consciousness instantly.

Just when everyone thought they had won, they discovered that the scene before them had suddenly changed.

The familiar mansion surrounding them was violently distorted, shattered, and vanished, like a reflection on water with a stone thrown in!

Instead, rough, solid, earthen-yellow walls rose up from the ground without warning!

These walls combined and extended at an astonishing speed, trapping everyone in a huge, complex, and constantly shifting maze in the blink of an eye!

The sky overhead was no longer above, but a dim, oppressive, seemingly endless dome.

"What's going on?!"

Kakyoin Noriaki exclaimed in surprise as the green-clad Emperor instantly appeared, vigilantly sensing his surroundings.

"It's another Stand user!"

Joseph Joestar, with his extensive experience, immediately assessed the situation.

"Watch out! This maze isn't just an obstacle; it might actually be a Stand ability!"

"It's no use, Mr. Joestar."

A chilling voice seemed to come from all around the walls; it was Kenny G, who was hidden at the absolute core of the maze, manipulating the entire network like a spider.

"In my illusory dream" (Sethan), direction and distance are meaningless. You will become sitting ducks, at the mercy of my companions."

Before he finished speaking, a chilling sense of emptiness emanated from the depths of the passage directly in front of them!

"For Lord DI0!"

With a frenzied growl, Vanilla Ace merged with his Stand, "Void Miasma," which had transformed into a dark sphere, and charged forward like a moving black hole, carrying an aura of death that devoured everything!

"Get out of the way!" Avdol exclaimed as the red magician unleashed flames, attempting to illuminate the path and intimidate the opponent.

However, just as everyone tried to dodge to the sides, the maze walls around them moved and closed without warning!

The original passage instantly became a dead end, while a new path leading to the impact of the sub-space miasma was forcibly opened!

"Oh no!"

Kakyoin attempted to use the Green Emperor's tentacles to cling to the wall and change direction, but the wall was so smooth that the tentacles had nowhere to grip.

"Euro!"

Jotaro reacted the fastest, and Star Platinum roared as he punched the side wall that was trying to close.

But under Kenny G's control, the wall shifted between reality and illusion, and Platinum Star's heavy punch actually passed through it, hitting empty air!

But a real, solid wall closed in on the other side, temporarily separating him and Joseph!

"Pfft—!"

Despite everyone's best efforts to dodge, the changes in the maze were too abrupt and bizarre.

Avdol couldn't dodge in time; the sleeve of his left arm, along with part of his skin, was grazed by the edge of the sub-void miasma and instantly vanished into nothingness!

Blood gushed out from his missing left arm!

"Avdol!" Joseph's eyes widened in fury.

In the first coordinated attack, Abuder was seriously injured and his fighting strength was greatly reduced in just one encounter!

This is just the beginning!

Having landed a successful blow, Vanilla Ace did not linger in the fight, instead riding the sub-space miasma into another dimension and disappearing.

The labyrinth began to shift violently once again, completely separating the injured Avdol, Jotaro, Joseph, Kakyoin, and Wang Bai!

"Mr. Joestar! Jotaro! Can you hear me?"

Kakyoin ran and shouted through an ever-expanding passage, but only his own hollow echoes and the dull rumble of the moving walls answered him.

In another passage, Jotaro clutched his bleeding shoulder, his cold gaze sweeping over the ever-changing walls.

"Damn it—all you do is hide and run?"

Vanilla Ace will suddenly appear near Kakyoin and feign an attack.

When Kakyoin was on full defensive, he vanished in an instant, while the real attack pierced through the wall behind Jotaro!

Jotaro barely dodged thanks to Star Platinum's lightning-fast reflexes, but a bloody gash appeared on his side, his school uniform was torn, and blood was everywhere.

Joseph attempts to use the Hermit's Purple to explore the labyrinth's structure.

But Kenny G manipulated the maze, causing the ground beneath Joseph's feet to suddenly collapse, forming a deep pit.

At the same time, Vanilla Ace's sub-vapor miasma surged upwards from the bottom of the pit!

If Wang Bai hadn't promptly manipulated a shadow soldier to transform into a platform to support Joseph, and if another shadow spear hadn't forced back the sub-space miasma, Joseph would likely be in grave danger.

The injured Avdol was isolated alone in a small space within the maze.

Vanilla Ace appeared directly in this enclosed space like a shark that had smelled blood, and the miasma in the sub-space sealed off all escape routes!

Despite the excruciating pain of losing his arm, Avdol unleashed a cross-shaped fire hurricane, but its power was limited in the confined space. The sub-vapor miasma slowly advanced against the flames, and the scorching flames were continuously devoured and annihilated by the dark sphere!

The shadow of death loomed over Abuder.

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, becoming extremely dangerous and hopeless!

Avdol is on the verge of death, Jotaro and Kakyoin are wounded in multiple places, and Joseph is exhausted.

Although Wang Bai repeatedly resolved crises by relying on the mobility of the Shadow Legion and the calmness of his mind, he was unable to rescue all his separated comrades at the same time, and it was more like he was constantly extinguishing the flames that were burning everywhere.

The enemy's coordination was flawless. Kenny G controlled the entire situation, creating openings and illusions; Vanilla Ace, on the other hand, became the omnipresent death, reaping precise kills.

"At this rate—we'll be picked off one by one—" Kakyoin leaned against a cold wall, panting. His emerald water splashes hit empty air or illusions several times, draining his mana.

Jotaro's left shoulder wound continued to bleed, the blood loss and pain turning his face pale, but the flame in his eyes never went out. "I must—find the guy who built this labyrinth—"

Joseph leaned against the wall, and even the light of the Hermit Purple dimmed a bit.

He looked at the ever-changing walls around him and felt the gradually weakening breaths of his companions, a sense of powerlessness welling up inside him.

Is this the end for the Joestar family?

Just as this atmosphere of despair enveloped everyone like a thick fog, Wang Bai, who had been focused on avoidance and rescue, finally showed a resolute glint in his eyes.

He couldn't continue to be passive.

He stood still, but the Shadow Legion's power had already quietly begun to operate.

Several shadowy humanoid figures blended into the shadows cast by the maze walls like ink, swiftly moving along the base of the walls.

The power of artistic conception endowed Wang Bai with spatial perception abilities beyond those of ordinary people, as evidenced by the movement of the Shadow Legion in the shadows.

To some extent, it can ignore some visual illusions and directly perceive the core of the maze's actual spatial structure and energy flow!

"I've found you."

Wang Bai's gaze sharpened, locking onto a particular direction.

Deep within the labyrinth in that direction, a short man dressed as a servant, Kenny G, intently manipulates his Stand, maintaining and constantly altering this vast illusionary labyrinth to create the best hunting environment for Vanilla Ace.

"Mr. Joestar, Kakyoin, hold off that Devourer! Jotaro, Avdol, come with me! The bastard who created the labyrinth is over there!"

Wang Bai swiftly issued the order, and at the same time, he himself rushed towards the direction where Kenny G was hiding like an arrow. The Shadow Legion led the way for him, constantly correcting the path that had been misled by the illusion.

"clear!"

Joseph and Kakyoin responded immediately.

Joseph's Hermit Purple kept shooting out, not to attack, but to disrupt Vanilla Ace's vision and movement path.

Kakyoin's Green Emperor continuously released emerald water droplets, bombarding the walls and ground around the sub-space miasma, creating obstacles and dust to restrict its rampage.

Jotaro and Avdol followed closely behind King White. Jotaro's Star Platinum was responsible for violently destroying the illusionary walls blocking their path with absolute power, forcibly clearing a way.

Avdol's Red Magician is responsible for clearing any potential traps and providing long-range ambushes.

When Vanilla Ace saw Wang Bai and the others rushing straight for Kenny G, he became anxious and his attacks with the Void Miasma became even more frantic, attempting to break through Joseph and Kakyoin's blockade.

Vanilla Ace roared, once again activating the sub-space miasma.

This time, he didn't charge in a straight line, but instead made the dark sphere fly in a strange arc, bypassing the frontal interception and devouring Wang Bai and the others from the side and rear!

Watch out behind you!

Kakyoin noticed in time that the Green Emperor's tentacles suddenly grabbed Avdol, pulling him away from the path of devouring.

But the miasma in the sub-space was moving too fast and was about to engulf Jotaro, who was lagging behind!

"Euro!"

Jotaro whirled around, and Star Platinum unleashed astonishing power in his fists, not attacking the untouchable dark sphere, but slamming it hard into the ground beneath his feet!

"Boom!"

The immense force shattered and collapsed the ground. Jotaro used the recoil to narrowly leap backward, avoiding the engulfing range of the sub-space miasma.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Bai broke through the final illusion barrier and saw Kenny G, who was hiding in the core of the maze with a look of panic on his face!

"Your tricks end here." Before Wang Bai finished speaking, several shadow soldiers rose from the shadows beneath Kenny G's feet, and cold, shadowy blades were instantly placed against his neck.

Kenny G was terrified, and his Stand ability was instantly interrupted!

The entire enormous illusionary labyrinth rippled violently like a mirage before vanishing with a roar!

The group returned to the eerie entrance hall of the DI0 mansion.

However, the crisis is not over!

The moment the maze disappeared, Vanilla Ace and the Void Miasma, now without cover, were completely exposed to everyone!

"Damn it! You insects!"

Vanilla Ace was enraged, and the dark sphere of sub-void miasma expanded once more. The next second, in the middle of everyone, the void suddenly cracked open, and the dark sphere of sub-void miasma burst out!

This time, his target is Wang Bai, who has just solved the maze and seems to have relaxed for a moment!

The dark sphere, carrying an aura of annihilation, instantly devoured the location where Wang Bai was!

"Wang Bai!" Jotaro and the others' pupils shrank suddenly.

However, at the very moment the dark sphere closed, everyone saw that before being swallowed up, Wang Bai's figure seemed to transform into a faint shadow, silently sinking into his own shadow at his feet, disappearing without a trace, as if merging into water.

The attempt to devour the miasma in the sub-space failed!

"What?!" Vanilla Ace emerged from the alternate dimension, staring incredulously at the empty ground.

The next moment, not far from where Wang Bai's original shadow had been, a new shadow rapidly expanded and rose, and Wang Bai's figure slowly emerged from it, completely unharmed, his eyes still calm, as if the deadly attack just now was just a dream.

The Shadow Legion's ability—Shadow Travel! At the critical moment, Wang Bai used his Stand ability to merge with his own shadow, avoiding the absolute engulfment of the sub-space miasma.

"Impossible! How could you possibly have avoided the sub-aerial miasma?!"

Vanilla Ace's mindset completely spiraled out of balance.

"This is a technique that can only be used once. You might not fall for it next time, but just this one success is enough!"

"Your ability is indeed troublesome," Wang Bai said calmly, "but relying too much on devouring makes you neglect your own defense."

Just as Vanilla Ace made a mistake due to shock, "Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora—!!!"

The Platinum Star, which had been poised to strike, came from the side like a raging purple lightning bolt! Countless fists containing terrifying power slammed into Vanilla Ace's body like heavy hammers!

"Ugh!!!"

Vanilla Ace didn't even have time to dive back into the alternate dimension. His body twisted and deformed under the continuous blows from Star Platinum, and blood gushed out.

He flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashed heavily against the wall of the mansion, slid down, and completely lost consciousness.

The miasma in the sub-space also dissipated.

The lobby was finally calm again, at least temporarily.

After defeating Boingo, Hol Hoss, Petsha, the Darby Brothers, Kenny G, and Vanilla Ace in succession, everyone was exhausted, and Jotaro's wounds reopened, with blood staining the makeshift bandages.
