Let the Bizarre Adventure of the Joestars begin.

Once the disguise was removed, the similarities between Miss Jeanne and that woman became fully apparent: Miss Jeanne was exactly the same as her, at least in appearance.

"..." After seeing Miss Jeanne's face, she was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "So you're still chasing after me even in this world."

After saying that, she revealed a smile that was incredibly malicious. In that instant, without hesitation, she drew a rapier from somewhere and charged directly at Miss Jeanne, intending to kill her on the spot.

Unlike the rapier in her hand, which was blocked just as it was about to pierce Miss Jeanne's body.

The one that blocked the rapier was none other than Miss Jeanne, who had been using her greatsword to shatter dragon bones recently.

The Greatsword Shattered Dragonbone has an extremely wide blade (see the Dark Souls Greatsword for details), and since it was originally a piece of unforged iron, it's not surprising that it could block the thrust of a Western rapier.

However, after the giant sword appeared, she immediately moved away from Miss Jeanne.

"Ah, what's going on? I remember that Jeanne Alter, as a Servant, never has a greatsword in any of her forms. Has Brother Jun gone mad, or has Higashide gone off the rails again?" Looking at the greatsword in Jeanne's hand, she was a little puzzled, but her expression remained unchanged.

Upon hearing these words, Miss Jeanne finally realized that she was the one she was looking for.

"No, how should I put it? The state between the two of us is actually very delicate, extremely delicate. Of course, now is not the time to explain, or rather, you don't want to hear such an explanation, do you?" Unlike her neuroticism, Miss Jeanne spoke very gently.

“Such a smile, you can’t possibly be Joan of Arc Alter, can you? After all, I know all the variants of Joan of Arc Alter, and none of them would have the same smile as you.” Looking at Miss Jeanne’s smile, she finally realized.

"Well, now is not the time to explain. Let's wait until the fight is over." Looking at her, Miss Jeanne sighed, then raised her greatsword horizontally, swung it powerfully, destroying all the surrounding buildings and knocking her back.

“That’s true.” Seeing Miss Jeanne like this, she didn’t hesitate and rushed towards Miss Jeanne again, launching a fierce attack on her.

However, her aggressive attacks were ineffective, or rather, they seemed far too naive to Miss Jeanne.

The group of zombies from the Fire Era was too inexperienced to compare with this one. Although the zombies were not as strong in actual combat, their attacks were simply too fierce.

Especially those slow sword techniques, they're simply impossible to beat!

However, under such fierce attacks, that thing also began to crawl along the sword towards Miss Jeanne's body.

Of course, before it could climb onto Miss Jeanne's body, the thing was completely burned.

Without that thing, such attacks alone are simply not enough for Miss Jeanne.

Miss Jeanne, who casually parried her attack, sighed and then kicked her in the knee, forcing her to kneel on the ground.

However, after losing her balance, she did not kneel on the ground as Miss Jeanne had predicted, but instead fell forward directly, and at the same time...

Black flames erupted from her sword.

"La?Grondement?Du?Haine!"

With that low growl, the black flames that had just appeared suddenly exploded and attacked Miss Jeanne.

Upon hearing these familiar words, Miss Jeanne was initially a little stunned.

However, it is understandable that Jeanne is confused, because all the Jeanne Alters that Jeanne knows have not used their Noble Phantasms for a long time. Of course, the reason for not using Noble Phantasms is simple: there is no need to use them.

With the skills she inherited from Jeanne, she's already a top-tier Servant in terms of combat power. Why would she need that seemingly useless Noble Phantasm?

After they figured this out, Miss Jeanne didn't see them unleash their Noble Phantasms for a very, very long time.

And now, in this distant present, after hearing such familiar words again, Miss Jeanne suddenly felt that perhaps she should return to her old profession.

However, returning to her old profession is just a thought. After all, if Jeanne's flames were released as a Noble Phantasm, they could basically burn an entire planet to ashes—in both a physical and astronomical sense.

Therefore, Miss Na can only think about such things.

However, while she was thinking about these things, the flames had already engulfed Miss Jeanne's body.

"Heh, it seems I'm still stronger after all. What kind of damn Servant is this? They'd better just obediently become my nourishment." Looking at Jeanne, who was covered in flames, she grinned maliciously.

“Generally speaking, people who lack self-awareness are annoying, you know?” However, before she could finish laughing, Miss Jeanne’s words directly contradicted her.

"!!!" Upon hearing Miss Jeanne's words, she did not hesitate and directly increased her magical output, making the flames even more intense.

However, after she increased her magical output, she discovered something else.

The black flames he released were being gradually devoured by a bright orange flame.

"How is this possible..." Her face turned pale as she looked at the flames being consumed by another kind of fire.

But that's normal, since this is basically her biggest trump card.

The next chapter will reveal the biggest foreshadowing in the book (without exception!).

Who am I?: Chapter Eleven: The Truth About Miss Jeanne (Part Two)

She wasn't anything special, or rather, she was the beginning of everything.

Without her appearance, Jeanne would never have appeared in the Honkai world, nor would she have met Cecilia.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Miss Jeanne did not kill her directly.

As for her identity, it's even simpler. After all, to allow Miss Jeanne to appear in the Honkai world, and to have a certain level of Servant power, while also considering her appearance...

That should basically confirm who she is.

She was the Jeanne Alter who appeared at the very beginning, the Jeanne Alter who was killed by her Master, the transmigrator who wore the skin of Jeanne Alter.

“So, perhaps I should thank you.” Looking at her, Miss Jeanne sighed, then extinguished her flames, revealing a face just like hers.

"Why, why can I see these things when the flames interact?" She looked at Miss Jeanne's face, her eyes filled with resentment.

Unlike Miss Jeanne, who finally climbed to a happy life after going through countless hardships, she herself, because of that thing, almost every time she got close to someone she wanted to get close to, it would bring death.

That's why she's become the way she is now. Of course, it might also be partly due to the influence of that thing. Although, according to Jiang Ranlian, that thing shouldn't affect people's hearts, it hasn't actually been tested and is just Miss Na's speculation. So, whether it's true or not, Miss Na can't really say.

After letting out a slight sigh, Miss Jeanne's face showed some helplessness and embarrassment.

After all, it's quite strange that Miss Na would have to clean up the mess that Jiang Ranlian did.

But even if she has to clean up the mess herself, Miss Na has no way to resist, since this is one of the things she needs to settle.

“Because we are very similar, not in terms of how we are as people, but in terms of our souls.” After a slight sigh, Miss Jeanne finally began to explain: “The reason why our souls are similar is actually very simple, it’s just luck. If it weren’t for luck, I would have killed you right now.”

As she said this, Miss Jeanne slightly brandished the greatsword in her hand.

Although the greatsword wasn't particularly intimidating in Miss Jeanne's hands, it at least provided a basis for a proper conversation.

"A similarity in spirit? You might as well say you're Joan of Arc Alter, that would be more accurate." Jeanne laughed dismissively at Jeanne's explanation.

However, as she said, compared to the similarity of souls, it would be more credible for Miss Jeanne to directly say that she is Jeanne Alter from another time, since although Jeanne Alter's spirit origin is no longer in Miss Jeanne, she can still sense it if she wants to.

It was only after sensing the shattered spirit core within Miss Jeanne that she spoke those words directly.

“Jeanne Alter, perhaps my appearance was partly inspired by her Spirit Origin, otherwise it’s unlikely that I would have appeared with my Spirit Origin.” As she said this, Miss Jeanne lowered her head and looked at her other hand.

On that hand, which had no wounds, Miss Jeanne seemed to see something, but she also felt that she couldn't see anything at all.

"However, in any case, the biggest prototype of my existence is actually you, because you have the spirit origin of Jeanne Alter, so I can reference Jeanne Alter. Because of that thing on you, I later fell into the same predicament because of that thing." After clenching her hands slightly, Miss Jeanne finally spoke up the answer she had realized years ago.

Although the answer surprised Miss Jeanne slightly, it was indeed the only explanation at that moment.

“Because I took you into consideration, I am who I am now, and for that, I want to thank you.” Saying this, Miss Jeanne sighed, and then spoke again: “Five years ago, when I died, when Jiang Ranlian reminded me, I had already realized the problem.”

only...

"However, it wasn't until a year later, when I personally asked that bastard Jiang Ranlian, that I finally confirmed the whole story." As she said this, Miss Jeanne had a very helpless expression on her face.

To be honest, that was the answer Miss Na didn't want, but it was already a fait accompli, and under such circumstances, even if Miss Na herself wanted to deny it, she couldn't.

“You are not me, nor are you a fragment of my spirit origin. You are just a inferior imitator.” She looked at Miss Jeanne and said these words.

“Yes, I’m just a poor imitator, but there’s nothing I can do about it. Who told you to happen to be passing by that place when you were killed?” As she said this, Miss Jeanne suddenly laughed.

Miss Jeanne was not actually the time traveler who died, nor was she a personality formed from the spirit fragments of Joan of Arc Alter.

Miss Jeanne is actually a fragment of someone's soul, and while this fragment sounds absurd, considering the owner of this soul fragment, there's perhaps no reason to doubt it.

After all, that guy is really strong.

And Miss Jeanne was able to appear as Miss Jeanne thanks to the good fortune of this time traveler.

If this transmigrator hadn't happened to pass by the soul fragment area after being killed by his master, perhaps Miss Jeanne wouldn't have appeared.

As for which powerful being's soul fragment it was, that's even simpler.

Because, among all the world groups, only one person's soul fragment could cause a monster like Miss Jeanne to appear.

And that person's name was Jiang Ranlian.

Only in this way could she help Miss Jeanne in an unexpected way, and the reason why she didn't take back this fragment of soul is even simpler.

As mentioned before, there is the concept of the world's capacity to accommodate. The reason why Jiang Ranlian never appeared again after bringing Miss Jeanne back is that even if the infinitely growing new world reaches its limit, it will not be able to accommodate Jiang Ranlian's appearance.

Because of a certain event, Jiang Ranlian needs someone to influence all the worlds in her place, someone to find capable individuals in each world. It is precisely for this reason that Miss Na was not retrieved. (Her main task is actually to retrieve the experimental items that flew out after Jiang Ranlian's laboratory exploded years ago.)

Of course, the reason why Jiang Ranlian didn't destroy the world upon her appearance is even simpler.

Because Jiang Ranling is not the complete Jiang Ranlian.

Jiang Ranling is actually Jiang Ranlian in a state of incomplete soul jealousy, although it doesn't mean that she can't use her full strength because she lacks a soul.

Rather, it's because Jiang Ranling's death was unusual. Her suicide caused her power to leak out, which destroyed the entire world cluster at that time. Therefore, some smaller world clusters now contain fragments of Jiang Ranling's power and soul.

Therefore, the fact that she asked others to call her Jiang Ranlian meant that she had already collected all the soul fragments except for Miss Jeanne's, and was also preparing to go to a special world that she had already designed.

In that world, she would not cause its destruction; in fact, she would cause it to begin to develop continuously.

After all, she is the force that gave birth to that world, and even to all worlds.

As for the mechanism of creation, it is even simpler: as long as someone has a feasible worldview, a new world will be formed almost instantly, of course, relying on her power.

However, Miss Jeanne never expected that her identity would cause her so much headache.

After letting out a slight sigh, Miss Jeanne looked up at the sky and said, "So, the idea that I have to solve my own problems really doesn't apply to me."

If the problem is handled according to the principle of "solving one's own troubles," Miss Jeanne will find herself in a very troublesome situation, because the small world group that Miss Jeanne is currently in is actually only barely connected by Miss Jeanne's essence.

Therefore, according to this statement, Miss Jeanne has a lot of things to solve.

However, before Miss Jeanne could finish her exclamation, the time traveler looked at her with an expression that suggested she wanted to kill him.

"A poor imitator like me would be better off dying a little." With that, she swung her rapier once more.

Although what she said made a lot of sense, her current state seemed very strange to Miss Jeanne. However, it was just strange, since the thing that was simulated back then did have some effect on Miss Jeanne.
