My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

"Diego, I didn't expect you to still be so arrogant."

Katz's voice followed closely behind; in fact, he also felt that Diego's condition on the screen was a bit off.

"Hahahaha, so you're really funny, Diego. I've decided, I won't fire you."

Valentine then stood up, leaned back in an odd posture, and said, "There are multiple seats to choose from at the intelligence gathering place, but in reality, the price of each seat is exactly the same."

The private rooms and the main hall are connected, and the difference between the two types of seating is probably that the former is quieter than the latter. However, many people who prefer a lively atmosphere or the ambiance of a movie theater will choose the latter two.

Even if you are not satisfied with your choice, the theater will offer the option to change it temporarily.

Valentine leaned against the wall, finding it incredibly amusing, though he had no idea how his counterpart from that other world had brainwashed Diego.

Diego himself knew at a glance that he was extremely power-hungry and that it was absolutely impossible for him to say those things sincerely.

Something must have happened in that world. The method of spatial teleportation was extremely similar to the one I had awakened, only the national flag was slightly different.

If I remember correctly, that flag should be Syrian, right?

Ha, interesting. Could it be that in that world I wasn't the President of the United States, but the President of Syria?

"No, where do you get the confidence to think I'd swear allegiance to you?"

At this moment, Diego spoke in an unfriendly tone, while the director and others on the other side of the theater were silently observing Diego.

On the screen, Diego, now appearing as the Syrian flag, continued: "Actually, deep down I'm someone who always wants to be an emperor."

Obsessed with winning and losing, entangled in worries, constantly creating enemies that keep me up at night—this is the state I maintain in order to become an emperor, and I am well aware that this is my motivation.

"The one who wields power beyond time, reigns supreme at the pinnacle of evil, and will rule the world as the emperor of this realm—that will be my name, Diego, without wavering!"

Chapter 858: Emperor Kono Johnny Joestar!

After hearing Diego's speech, Diablo's eyes lit up: "Is there such a good thing? Diego, let's switch fates. I'm not going to be an emperor anymore. I want to be a person who enjoys money and power."

"Who wants to be an emperor like you, constantly forced to commit suicide!"

Diego clearly did not intend to accept the exchange of Diavolo, and at this moment the director on the screen showed a subtle expression.

"If I remember correctly, it seems like not long ago you said you believed everyone should be Valentine's servant, right?"

"Sorry, men are all fickle."

Moreover, times have changed. Not long ago, I discovered that my application had been approved, and the offer from the new group made me realize something.

I believe Diego is the master of the world, and everyone should be his servant.

As Director Diego spoke with self-righteousness, Mordred frowned and said, "No one is anyone's servant. All men are created equal. Diego, what is your purpose in saying all this?"

An unforeseen path.

After glancing at Mordred, who seemed to be leading Britain in a strange direction, Diego revealed his inner desire: "I choose to betray Valentine and become the new king myself."

At this point, I had already qualified to become the new king, a power bestowed upon me by that being that directly elevated the very essence of my life.

Everyone, for 100 million Saint Quartz, I will help you deal with Little Lucky Grass King, and even help you deal with Jeanne Alter.

Having gained that power, I am now very confident in confronting Valentine, who is ready to take on this job.

Upon hearing this, the director revealed a knowing expression: "Oh, I see. You want to betray the name Valentine gave you and take our orders yourself."

Upon hearing this, Diego quickly launched into a tirade about how something involving an emperor could be considered betrayal, only to be met with unanimous opposition from Mordred and Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"No, we are not traitors."

"Crack, snap, snap."

The two spoke in unison, and just then, applause suddenly rang out.

"Who?"

Upon hearing the sound, everyone looked directly at its source. The director's expression was somewhat subtle. Wait, hadn't this just happened before?

"It's you, Johnny Joestar!"

Upon seeing the man who had suddenly appeared, Diego's pupils constricted slightly.

"Long time no see, Diego."

Looking at Diego, the blond-haired, blue-eyed newcomer spoke.

"Hmph, so you still intend to kill this villain here? In that case... first, try to defeat the puppet Valentine gave me!"

As Johnny Diego frowned and took out a puppet resembling a medical model, the Chaldea members silently moved away, clearing a space for the two to fight.

"You're next, Diego!"

For some reason, Johnny, whose leg had recovered, pointed at Diego and said this. In reality, Johnny's eyes lit up at this moment. I, I can actually have such a domineering side.

As for Araki Manor at this moment, Valentine shook his head and said, "Such an easy betrayal, Diego, you're fired."

"I don't care whether you've been fired or not, we're just business partners."

Diego said coldly, while Johnny on the screen slowly walked towards Diego.

"Holy crap, instead of running away, they're walking towards my wicked Emperor Diego?"

As Johnny and Diego crossed their arms and smirked, Johnny suddenly accelerated and punched Diego through the heart: "King Johnny Joestar, this has never wavered!"

???

Seeing the look of disbelief on Johnny Diego's face, and noticing Diego's sudden acceleration, Johnny said firmly, "I, Johnny Joestar, have a dream: to become the emperor of the new world!"

For this, I have sworn allegiance to Valentine!

???

"You son of a bitch, you betrayed the spirit of the Gold Saints, you insulted the history of the Joestar bloodline that has existed for countless years!"

Seeing Johnny with his chest pierced, Diego was inexplicably furious, while Johnny casually pulled out his right hand and struck a pose that could only be described as cool in this situation.

Blood floated in the air, but apart from the blood that had just stained his cuffs, not a single drop of blood fell on Johnny as it swayed in the wind.

Johnny, standing in a cool pose, slightly raised his head and looked down at Diego. Looking at Diego, he said, "Golden Spirit? I threw that away a long time ago."

Hmm, or rather, I've never had anything like that. Does not having the Golden Spirit mean an insult to the Joestar family's history? Is Joestar's blood such an inconvenient thing?

My heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror. All my deeds are righteous.

When I expound justice, I do not use any golden spirit. What I, Johnny Joestar, possess is the dark will to become emperor!

Under the witness of the darkest will, the first napkin will inevitably be picked up by me, Johnny Joestar—that is irreversible!

In real life, Johnny looked like he'd seen a ghost.

Wait, what did I do?

I dashed up to Diego and punched him through the chest, saying I was going to be the emperor of the new world and swore allegiance to Valentine.

This is outrageous!

"Johnny, I never knew you had such ambitions!"

At this moment, Jero looked at the boy beside him with a surprised expression. He had never realized that Johnny had such grand ambitions.

As Johnny tried to explain, Jonathan, on the other side of the theater, saw this scene and, remembering the rumors about his descendants, suddenly felt dizzy and passed out.

I'm so angry at my own bodymate!

Jonathan was furious, while DIO, who in a sense also possessed Joestar blood, was slightly taken aback.

If I remember correctly, that Johnny Joestar is Jonathan's parallel universe counterpart.

Interesting. So Jonathan has this side to him? Well, that makes sense. Nine good and one evil doesn't mean he's all good and no evil.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Johnny Valentine, watching the screen, clapped his hands: "So Johnny is really funny. I've decided not to issue an arrest warrant for him."

His talents can be used to our advantage and contribute even greater value to the United States.

At this moment, Diablo, who had just died and been resurrected, said with a subtle expression, "Is the position of emperor so sought after? Maybe next time I should go ask Johnny if we'd consider exchanging fates?"

Chapter 859: I, Johnny, also want to go to heaven.

"A dark will, huh? How interesting."

Looking at Johnny on the screen, DIO spoke.

Meanwhile, Johnny, whom he had mentioned, was looking at Diego with a calm gaze on the screen. After a few seconds, he got up and walked towards the director.

"Valentine's trust is something I must gain, so... become the sacrifice I offer to gain that trust."

As he left Johnny, he said, and at that moment, Diego, who had just been punched through the chest, showed a look of sudden realization: "I see, I understand now."

"Do you realize you have no chance of defeating Valentine, and are planning to first swear allegiance to gain his trust, then infiltrate his ranks and launch a sneak attack at a crucial moment?"

Upon hearing this, Johnny in the real world and Jonathan, who had recovered, showed expressions of realization; if that were the case, it would indeed make sense.

On the screen, Johnny calmly said, "What are you talking about? I have no such plan. My trust in Valentine is just for my own selfish desires."

After a moment of contemplation, Diego's expression cleared up again: "So that's how it is. You pledged your allegiance to Valentine just so your leg could recover?"

"No, I'm going to heaven."

Johnny immediately refuted Diego's guess, leaving Diego slightly taken aback: "Go to heaven?"

"I, Johnny Joestar, have a dream: to transform the earth into a paradise, to eliminate strife, ugliness, and depravity from this world. To achieve this, I must activate the paradise mode of my Act 4.

"Everyone eventually goes to heaven, and my lifelong pursuit, Johnny Joestar's, is to ensure that everyone has a place in heaven."

Johnny directly stated his true purpose, while Diego was somewhat surprised: "Wait, I didn't expect you to have such a grand ideal, but what does Valentine have to do with you going to heaven?"

After a moment of silence, Johnny said after hearing Diego's words, "Since the preparations are complete and the time to ascend to heaven is just around the corner, there's no harm in telling you."

"If I, Johnny, want to go to Heaven, I must fulfill six conditions. The first condition is that my Stand, Fang, awakens to the fourth stage, gaining power strong enough to shatter the gates of Heaven."

What did Heaven's Gate do wrong?

In the real world, Rohan Kishibe subconsciously thought of his familiar Stand name.

On the screen, Johnny then stated his second condition:

"If I want to go to heaven, the second condition is to gain the trust of a ruler who regards the country as everything and is more sublime than the laws of God, and who is deeply trusted by his people."

Upon hearing this, Diego immediately asked, "Ah, what use is this for going to heaven? Wait, I understand, your consciousness is gathering the faith power of a nation to send you to heaven?"
