Chapter 105: This Alone Is Far from Enough!

Page 1/3

Jo Zhe had always been conscious of preserving the star-shaped birthmark on his shoulder, so even as his body continuously evolved, that mark remained. It was all for the day he would return to the JoJo world and forcefully rewrite his fate!

In the JoJo world, nearly every saga had its own boss.

According to Jo Zhe’s original plan, if he could clear every boss, wouldn’t he soar to new heights directly?

But how to put it—supporting characters in that world must never harbor thoughts of changing their fate, or else death is inevitable. Moreover, Jo Zhe had “cut in line,” inexplicably becoming part of the Joestar family, an absurdity that made fate focus intensely on him.

The specific reason lay in a blood transfusion.

At that time, Jo Zhe was just a little brat, merely a background character in the JoJo world.

His standard origin was orphaned parents. Lisa Lisa once said he was found abandoned in the snow by two people.

He was near death, and upon arriving at the hospital, Jo Zhe was barely breathing. Joseph Joestar could not stand idly by.

The only solution was for Lisa Lisa to use the Ripple to infuse new blood into Jo Zhe’s body, thereby generating vitality. Coincidentally, Joseph Joestar’s blood type was the same as Jo Zhe’s, so the transfusion went directly through.

Once the blood entered Jo Zhe’s body, combined with the Ripple’s effect, it was as if his entire bloodstream was replaced, even his appearance became similar to the future Josuke.

A star-shaped birthmark appeared on his shoulder. Seeing this, Joseph Joestar simply adopted Jo Zhe as his foster son.

Since he had no experience naming him, he just appended “Joestar” to Jo Zhe’s name and called it done.

Reflecting on his unlucky experiences in his previous life, Jo Zhe touched the spot on his shoulder.

Why was he able to awaken the Stand, “Platinum Star”? Probably because in his past life, the copied Platinum Star was used most frequently.

As a Ripple warrior back then, he naturally lived long and, like Joseph, awakened Stand abilities.

The “Right Hand of God” Stand could replicate and transform into any Stand it touched but could not switch at will.

In the old world, the most powerful Stand belonged to Jotaro: Platinum Star.

Because of the severe switching restrictions, Jo Zhe definitely chose the strongest one.

Unfortunately, even with this defiance of fate, destiny still had other plans.

The EX unit quickly flew above Nachi Falls.

Looking down through the glass window, Jo Meng and Fujimiya were locked in a contest.

At this moment, the two were braving the waterfall’s force, gripping the rocks with both hands as they climbed.

Jo Zhe maneuvered the EX unit to descend and found an open space to land.

Stepping out of the cockpit, he looked up at Fujimiya and Jo Meng, hand under chin, muttering, “They seem way too relaxed… Got it!”

Suddenly, Platinum Star burst forth from his body, and Jo Zhe put his plan into action.

At the center of the waterfall, Fujimiya’s clothes were soaked through, his hair whipped wildly by the rushing water.

To continue climbing upward, he had to raise his eyes to observe the route.

The waterfall’s torrent rushed downward at high speed. With his current Ripple, he still couldn’t stand atop the cascade, only able to cling to rocks with his fingers and climb slowly.

Turning his head toward Jo Meng on the other side, Fujimiya caught his breath and looked upward to proceed.

But at that moment, he noticed a dark shadow approaching.

Before he could react, his head was struck!

“Ugh, what was that?!”

With a dull thud, Fujimiya’s mind went blank, his breathing faltering and the Ripple energy in his hands dispersing!

His left hand let go of the rock, leaving only his right gripping the stone as his body swayed dangerously, nearly falling.

Fortunately, he adjusted his breathing in time, keeping the Ripple in his right hand intact.

Looking down, he saw a tree trunk tumbling with the waterfall into the pool below.

“A tree trunk? How did that suddenly fall down here?”

Still feeling the pain in his head, Fujimiya’s face was puzzled when Jo Meng suddenly shouted in pain.

“Ah, that hurts!”

Jo Meng had been hit in the head by a tree trunk, suffering a similar situation, with only one hand holding the cliff.

This matching circumstance gave Fujimiya an ominous feeling.

He abruptly looked up, squinting, just in time to see a dark figure crashing down at high speed!

“Jo Meng! Watch above your head!”

Shouting a warning, Fujimiya swung his arm to the side and grasped the rock with his other hand to adjust his position.

The tree trunk smashed down beside him, splashing water into the pool below!

Had he not dodged, Fujimiya would have had to start climbing from scratch.

Hearing Fujimiya’s warning, Jo Meng squinted and looked up.

Seeing the incoming object, he quickly adjusted and narrowly avoided the tree trunk’s blow.

“What the heck is this? How can there be tree trunks falling down here?!”

Looking down at the pool below, Jo Meng couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.

“JoJo!” Fujimiya roared, anger flashing across his face.

One time might be an accident, but two or three times was clearly abnormal.

Fujimiya couldn’t think of anyone else but JoJo capable of this.

“Whoa—have I been found out?”

Jo Zhe’s voice came from above.

Fujimiya and Jo Meng immediately looked up.

Jo Zhe stood at the waterfall’s summit, letting the torrent rush beneath his feet, yet his body remained unmoved.

“Climbing skill alone is far from enough!”

“You not only need to master the Ripple skillfully but also adapt spontaneously!”

Platinum Star flickered as tree trunks repeatedly crashed down toward the two below, propelled by the waterfall’s force!

Jo Zhe was relatively humane—he didn’t just hurl boulders down.

Back when he was training, a barrage of rolling stones pelted him continuously. Compared to that hellish pillar, this was nothing.

Still, Fujimiya felt overwhelmed; Jo Meng was equally flustered.

Both wanted to curse but had no time amid dodging the attacks.

After narrowly avoiding another tree trunk, Fujimiya scowled: “No, this won’t do. We can’t keep climbing like this. We have to find a way!”

“Got it! I’ll try this!”

Looking up at the incoming tree trunk, he quickly assessed the rock surface and pushed off forcefully with hands and feet.

Dodging the attack, his body surged upward considerably.

Seeing Fujimiya’s move, Jo Meng admired his quick reflexes and hurriedly imitated him.

Together they leapt upward, evading the falling debris, slowly approaching the waterfall’s summit.

Jo Zhe looked down at the scene, raising an eyebrow as he increased the frequency of attacks—but still within a range they could dodge.

This frequent jumping and dodging rapidly drained their stamina.

Though they had learned the Ripple, their mastery was still basic; high-frequency exertion was pushing their bodies toward exhaustion.

Watching Fujimiya and Jo Meng draw ever closer to the top of the waterfall…
