Staying inside the visitor center at least provides cover for other tourists.

…………

At this moment.

On the side of the road outside Kennedy Space Center.

"Oh dear, let's not go, honey... Look, it's already past five o'clock, and there's less than an hour before the space center closes. Let's go to the hotel first and come back tomorrow, shall we?"

"An hour is enough for a tour! I even want to shake hands with a famous astronaut!"

"But a one-hour ticket costs $70..."

"It's only $70! Don't you think I'm worth $70? Don't you love me anymore? Do you have another woman on the side?!"

"No, no, that's not true! Why do you always say that?"

A white car was parked on the side of the road, and a man and a woman were arguing.

No, it would be more appropriate to say that the man was the one who was given a lesson.

However, at this very moment...

A magnetic voice rang out.

Instead of arguing here, I'll take you there.

The couple turned around and saw a blond man standing a few meters away from them.

He's very tall, probably around 195 cm.

But this is not the point.

The man was beautiful and alluring, as if he had stepped out of an ancient Egyptian mural, his face pale with a sickly pallor.

Surprisingly, the terrain around here is flat, and the scenery along the highway is pleasant.

This blond man didn't seem to have arrived by car either...

The couple didn't even know when the man had approached them.

The woman's face immediately turned red: "So, so handsome."

The man glanced at his girlfriend with displeasure, then smiled at the person in front of him and said, "How much is it? Are you an employee? Can you give me a discount?"

"A discount?" The man laughed. "I won't charge you. I was just going there anyway, and I happened to run into you, so I thought I'd take you with me."

"Really? You're so kind, brother!"

The woman shook off her boyfriend and grabbed the strong arm of the blond, handsome man in front of her.

"How could you do this?" the boyfriend exclaimed angrily. "I'm still right here!"

"So what? We've broken up. Get lost, you poor bastard who won't even give me $70! It's over!"

The woman waved her hand and pretended to roll away.

The man was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.

That damn bitch! She spent so much of my money on our trip, and now she wants to dump me like this?!

He wanted to make a move, but the blond man in front of him was all muscle, and he had already lost too much in terms of sheer presence.

"What makes you think this man is rich? He needs a car to go to the Kennedy Space Center, but this man doesn't even have a car?!"

"So what? Can love be measured by money? Breaking up with you was definitely the right choice!"

The woman nestled against the blond man's firm chest, drawing circles on it with her fingers...

"Hey handsome, what's your name? How are you going to get me inside?"

The blond man glanced at her.

“Dio, my name is Dio Brando.”

"As for how to get you in..."

As he spoke, Dior suddenly lowered his head and bit the woman's slender neck.

"Eek ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh!!!"

The woman let out a pitiful scream.

Her once-proud, youthful, and smooth skin rapidly aged and sagged.

The man named Dior's pale face visibly regained its color quickly.

The man was stunned by what he saw.

He didn't come to his senses until his girlfriend turned into a dried-up corpse.

Seeing his girlfriend's contorted and miserable face, anger gradually replaced his reason.

However, having understood the situation, his hands and feet trembled like dice.

The man in front of me is dangerous.

Reason clamored for him to run away, but emotion and fear kept him where he was.

"You, you bastard...!"

"Oh? You're not running away, and you're glaring at me... Are you going to attack me?" Dio laughed. "This woman used to fawn over me, and now she wants to abandon you."

The man clenched his fist.

"Being able to face me without backing down... perhaps it's because I've become weaker, or perhaps it's because your mental strength is simply too strong. It's a real shame you don't have a substitute, but I admire your bravery... cowards don't deserve anything, anyway, they'll lose it sooner or later."

Dior tossed the now-mummified woman aside like a discarded trash bag after eating a small bread roll.

Then, he approached the man step by step, his voice almost a whisper.

"This kind of woman doesn't deserve you. Come be my friend..."

……

Not long after, a white sedan glided over.

Dio arrived at the parking lot outside the Kennedy Space Center.

A staff member was smoking by the railing next to the flower bushes.

A kitten meowed and approached him, but he kicked it away, and it ran off howling.

Dio's face darkened, and he walked straight over, whereupon the other person also saw him.

Before the staff member could even speak, Dio delivered a swift chop, sending the staff member's head rolling in an arc into the flowerbed, the cigarette still in his mouth.

The moment they were killed, Dio absorbed the staff's blood.

Dio cautiously surveyed his surroundings, then changed into staff clothes and put on a hat.

Then, he walked toward the Kennedy Space Center.

One...no, two?

The closer Dio got to the Kennedy Space Center, the clearer he could sense that the two descendants of the Joestar family were inside.

Although the exact location is unknown, the other party must also know that they have arrived nearby.

"Hmph... Hmph hahahaha..."

I never thought I, Dio, would have such a day.

Twenty years have passed, and it seems that the Joestar family has grown considerably.

But it doesn't matter, the more descendants the Joestar family has, the happier I'll be in dealing with them.

However... since they have already arrived here ahead of time, they will definitely be looking for our traces.

Dio turned his gaze to the man in the ticket hall.

He was one of the couple from before.

Right now, I'm obediently buying a ticket all by myself.

There aren't many people in line now, so I guess I'll be able to get in soon.

Dio stood in the passageway, his breathing suddenly becoming heavy.

"It's happening again...?"

Dio felt a wave of discomfort.

Since merging with the green baby, her Stand, The World, has disappeared.

The flow of the spirit leads to heaven.

This is only halfway through the journey.

I wonder what kind of Stand abilities will appear after this.

Before that, I must be extremely careful.

Just then, the announcer's voice rang out from inside the visitor passage.

This is a pre-programmed recording that will play on a loop as long as there are people in the queue.

"Dear travelers, welcome to the Kennedy Space Center. This is the most suitable place in the world to launch rockets. Do you know why?"

"The biggest challenge in launching a rocket outside the Earth is gravity. For rockets, the less gravitational resistance, the better. Therefore, the launch site should be as close to the equator as possible. This is because the Earth's rotation generates centrifugal force, which causes the equator to be less affected by gravity than other places on Earth."

“The sea surface near Cape Canaveral has a unique characteristic. Generally, the sea surface elevation is recorded as zero meters. However, recent studies have shown that this is not always the case, depending on the location. For example, in the Maldives in the Indian Ocean, surveys show that the sea surface near the island is sunken by nearly 100 meters, while the sea surface in the Sea of ​​Japan is raised by nearly 30 meters. In the area around Cape Canaveral where we are located, the sea surface is raised by as much as 50 meters.”

"This shows that Earth's gravity is uneven, and the gravity at Cape Canaveral is relatively weak. Add to that the effects of lunar phases and tides, and the sea level can rise by up to 100 meters. Therefore, this is the most suitable place in the world to launch rockets..."

Uneven gravitational forces...

Lunar phases and tides...

A seductive smile appeared on Dio's lips.

Trust in gravity.

The encounter between people is also determined by "gravity".

To reach "Heaven," besides waiting for the new moon, finding a gravitational force close to the time of the new moon can achieve the same effect. This is the true meaning of the second "singularity" in the secret language.

The gravitational conditions achieved at the time of the new moon.
