Chapter 66: N'Doul-chan—
Chen Mo felt somewhat depressed. He had expected an imposing entrance for his first world-crossing, or at the very least a normal and steady arrival. Instead, the moment he confirmed the crossing option in the chat group, he found himself transported straight into this desert. Before he could even react, a mass of water smashed right into his face.
Had he not reacted swiftly in time and deployed his internal energy for protection, his clothes would likely have been soaked through by now.
"A Stand? Geb?"
Recovering his senses, Chen Mo looked at the seemingly living stream of water that had failed to breach his protective armor and was now retreating back beneath the sand, and he quickly figured it out.
He looked around. Standing beside him was a twin-tailed girl wearing a red-and-black Gothic dress—none other than the true body of Tokisaki Kurumi, who had protected him in the world of *Skylines*. Not far away, several tall, powerfully built men were gathered on the roof of an off-road vehicle, their overall aesthetic much rougher and more rugged than his and Kurumi's.
One of the pink-haired muscular men, dressed in a green student uniform, appeared to be injured. His eyes looked as though they had been clawed by some ferocious beast, with fresh blood trickling continuously from the wound and dripping onto the roof of the off-road vehicle.
"Yo, Miss Kurumi, Mr. Joseph... Though I'd love to chat with you all for a bit right now, it seems this isn't the right time yet."
Dragon wings unfolded behind Chen Mo. Without even a flap, his body lifted off the ground.
"That injured person should be Kakyoin Noriaki. I'll leave it to you, Miss Kurumi, to heal his wounds. I'll go fetch that hostile Stand user first."
With that, Chen Mo's figure vanished from the spot and soared high into the sky.
"Ara ara, Mr. Chen is certainly impatient..." Tokisaki Kurumi gave a slight wave, turned her head toward Joseph and the others not far away, and smiled.
"Hello everyone, my name is Tokisaki Kurumi. Are you friends of Mr. Joseph? I'm here to help you..."
Soaring high into the air, Chen Mo instantly locked onto N'Doul, who was standing several thousand meters away, thrusting a cane into the sand to listen in on the movements of Joseph's group and control his Stand, Geb.
Having devoured the flesh, blood, and genes of numerous supernatural and ordinary creatures, Chen Mo possessed super-hearing, super-smell, and super-sight. Finding N'Doul's trace in this open terrain was far too easy.
With a single flap of his wings, Chen Mo sped rapidly in the direction of N'Doul.
After that, there was not much left to say...
A blind Stand user running into a transmigrator who knew his ability's intel and possessed combat power equivalent to a Tier 3 powerhouse—need the outcome even be explained?
"Taste my Elephant Stride Drop of Ten Thousand Catties!"
Transforming his legs into the colossal, massive legs of a titanic mammoth, combined with the terrifying kill move of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Gong, Chen Mo plummeted downward at supersonic speed from a height of a hundred meters directly above N'Doul's head.
"Gah?"
N'Doul raised his head in utter bewilderment.
BOOM————
An impact akin to a falling meteor shook the surrounding sand and rocks flying a hundred meters outward. The massive tremor was faintly perceived even by Joseph and the others several thousand meters away.
"What the heck, what just happened?"
Polnareff was completely dumbfounded at this point. A person had suddenly appeared to block an unknown Stand user's attack, grew wings, and flew away; then another suddenly materialized gorgeous girl claimed she wanted to heal Kakyoin, and without another word, pulled out a flintlock pistol and aimed it right at Kakyoin...
Yet they knew Mr. Joseph, and Joseph seemed to know them too? Plus that sudden explosion-like tremor in the distance...
"Bang—"
Tokisaki Kurumi pulled the trigger of her flintlock pistol, and the fired bullet struck the injured Kakyoin. Jotaro and Avdol's eye twitching slightly at the sight, but given Joseph's obstruction, they managed to hold back from making a move.
The moment the bullet hit Kakyoin, a miraculous scene unfolded. The wound on Kakyoin's eye caused by Geb vanished as if time were rewinding. Kakyoin slowly opened his eyes, sat up, and touched his completely healed eyeball.
"It's... it's healed?"
"The wound actually healed just like that?"
Jotaro looked at the healed wound on Kakyoin's body, then glanced at the retreating Emperor (Zafkiel) fading behind Tokisaki Kurumi.
"Is this that girl's Stand ability? Old man, when did you get to know these people? Didn't you say the only reinforcement was that dog, Iggy?"
"Indeed, Mr. Joestar." Avdol, standing nearby, couldn't help asking either, "Who are these people? How come even I don't recognize them? Could they be friends of Mr. Joseph?"
Joseph stroked his chin whiskers, pondering how to explain this issue.
"You could say that... though I only got to know them not long ago, probably less than a day? They're the people from that thing called a chat group that appeared in my mind, which I mentioned to you earlier..."
"Yare yare."
Jotaro pulled down the brim of his cap and sighed.
"Things seem to have gotten a bit complicated... Still, as long as they harbor no ill intent and have helped us, you can explain it to us slowly later, old man."
In the distance, N'Doul, located right at the center of the impact, had successfully been transformed into "N'Doul paste." The surrounding terrain had also suffered massive destruction, leaving behind a crater over ten meters deep and tens of meters in radius.
Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, tentacles sprouted from Chen Mo's back, greedily and swiftly devouring and absorbing the flesh and blood remnants of N'Doul on the ground, leaving absolutely nothing to waste.
A semi-transparent, human-like soul drifted up from the minced meat on the ground, only to be grabbed by Chen Mo, instantly refined, and then shoved into his mouth to be swallowed.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad. A Stand user's life force is quite ordinary compared to the meat of magical beasts, but the taste of this soul is indeed acceptable..." Feeling his strength and soul faintly improving, Chen Mo couldn't help praising.
Having ingested a large amount of supernatural genes, Chen Mo had mastered the abilities and traits of many supernatural entities. For instance, the flesh and blood of the South Ocean Team leader, who was a mix of vampire and demon, had endowed Chen Mo with the innate abilities of blood-sucking and soul-devouring.
This allowed Chen Mo to devour souls right along with life force when consuming beings, truly achieving a "clean plate" policy and wasting none of the resources left behind by fallen enemies.
[Houraisan Kaguya: Good job. It looks like you've defeated the enemy and also healed Kakyoin's injuries.]
[Chen Mo: Can you see what's happening on our end?]
[Houraisan Kaguya: Can't see it, but on my end, I can track your mission completion progress. Currently, that Stand user has been defeated by you, and Kakyoin's injuries have also been healed, perfectly fulfilling the mission requirements.]
[Houraisan Kaguya: You can now choose to submit the mission and return to your original world, or wait until the mission time limit expires before returning, staying in this world a bit longer...]
[Houraisan Kaguya: Well then, Chen Mo, do you plan to stay in this different world a bit longer, or choose to return to your original world right now?]
