Chapter 111: The Last Invincible Has Fallen

“Where am I?!”

Gou Lumu, who had just fallen to the ground, finally recovered from the intense discomfort and, as if suddenly remembering something, looked up.

The Dark Giant and the Light Giant, both now even larger than before, seemed to be engaged in battle.

“So terrifying!”

Gou Lumu’s legs trembled uncontrollably, but he forced himself to calm down and stood up, clutching the Diet long spear tightly.

Yet, the high-tech weapons of the Night Raid squad gave him no sense of security whatsoever.

“I’m going to die! I have to run! Run fast!”

Seeing that neither of the giants seemed to have noticed him, Gou Lumu cautiously backed away, afraid of drawing their attention.

Mephistopheles, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly glanced at him.

This made Gou Lumu’s face go pale with fright; he turned and bolted without hesitation!

Before Mephistopheles could react, Jojo charged forward and began to pummel him!

“You’re slow to react! Poor at combat! Clumsy and uncoordinated! Not a single decent attack!”

A sharp slap sent Mephistopheles spinning.

Halfway through his escape, Gou Lumu realized he might not need to run after all.

Looking back, he saw the Light Giant relentlessly beating the Dark Giant, feeling oddly strange inside.

How should he put it? He thought the Dark Giant’s fighting was like that of a novice.

If it were him, he was sure he could do better.

As he thought this, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind:

“Do you want power? My power is your power!”

At that moment, Mephistopheles was still taking the beating, feeling deeply wronged but knowing that if it continued, death was near.

As a newly born darkness, Mephistopheles did not want to vanish so easily, so it fixed its gaze on Gou Lumu and secretly used telepathy.

Its words startled Gou Lumu.

To be honest, his heart wavered for a moment, since he had always longed for power.

But seeing Mephistopheles being mercilessly beaten by the Light Giant and unable to fight back, Gou Lumu immediately sobered up.

Without hesitation, he refused, firmly holding onto his resolve.

Mephistopheles grew anxious: “If we merge, you can become the form I am now!”

“This power is invincible! You could command the entire world!”

Gou Lumu sneered disdainfully, glancing at Mephistopheles with utter contempt.

What use is your power?

Invincible? Have you looked at the state you’re in?

With the strength of this Light Giant, Gou Lumu felt that agreeing would make him look like a fool.

What good is turning into a Dark Giant if you’re just going to get trampled?

Feeling that this Dark Giant harbored ill intentions, Gou Lumu shouted, “Kill that guy! He’s trying to deceive me!”

Mephistopheles: “???”

Jojo slapped Mephistopheles hard again, making its head ring.

“How dare you play tricks in front of me! You clearly don’t respect me!”

Clapping his palms together, energy gathered, and as they parted, a jagged light saber materialized!

Mephistopheles, barely recovering, was about to draw its weapon, but it was too slow.

Ssss! Ssss!

Jojo swung the jagged light saber, instantly slashing two intersecting gashes across Mephistopheles’ upper body!

“Ugh!!!” Mephistopheles screamed in agony as it was flung backward.

Crashing to the ground, its upper body looked as if torn leather, leaking energy continuously.

Seeing this, Jojo tossed the light saber aside: “I’m kind-hearted; I’ll help you end your suffering.”

The jagged light saber clattered to the ground, much like a Kamen Rider discarding his weapon.

When needed, it was swung fiercely; when not, it was tossed aside without a second thought.

Jojo gathered energy in both arms, which burst into white light as his fists struck each other, converting energy.

Photon energy erupted, followed by an electric-like energy spreading out as his arms formed an L-shape!

The Stacked Beam Storm was unleashed!

Mephistopheles had just risen when the blue-white beam struck its body!

“Ugh! Impossible! I, Mephistopheles, would never—ugh!!!”

With a cry of unwillingness, Mephistopheles’ entire body turned a translucent blue.

As its voice abruptly ceased, its struggling froze, dissolving into countless powder-like light particles drifting within the Meta Domain.

Annihilated at the molecular level, there was no chance of resurrection.

Jojo ended the beam release; the Y-shaped energy core on his chest flickered twice but returned to normal as ripples faded.

His gaze shifted downward to Gou Lumu.

Gou Lumu was also watching Jojo, his eyes filled with longing.

So powerful! The strength of a giant!

Isn’t this the very power I’ve always yearned for?

With this, I wouldn’t have to fear any aberrant beasts!

The Meta Domain slowly dissipated.

Jojo’s body transformed into a beam of light but did not hurry away; instead, he landed beside Gou Lumu and reverted to human form.

“You didn’t fall for Mephistopheles’ deception. Well done.”

Jojo appraised Gou Lumu from head to toe—undoubtedly a talent.

Just a bit too easily frightened.

In the original TV series, if Gou Lumu hadn’t been afraid of Nexus’ call, he would have become a Nexus Aptitude User long ago.

Hearing the name Mephistopheles, Gou Lumu’s eyes flickered; he asked, “Mephistopheles? Is that the name of that Dark Giant?”

His gaze fixed on Jojo, wary that he might flee.

“Correct,” Jojo replied solemnly. “It’s a manufactured demon that enjoys turning humans into puppets.”

“If you had agreed to him earlier, even if you gained dark power, you’d have slowly been corrupted and controlled until you lost yourself completely.”

Gou Lumu was still a normal human, not corrupted; Jojo didn’t mind explaining.

Hearing this, Gou Lumu secretly felt relieved that he hadn’t consented.

Besides, even if he had—

His gaze met Jojo’s, eyes filled with curiosity as he watched him transform from giant to light and back to human form.

“Well then, how did you do it?”

His yearning for power made him want to understand.

“Human courage,” Jojo said seriously, looking Gou Lumu in the eye. “You can have this power too—you're just missing courage.”

“Courage?” Gou Lumu’s face showed shock.

Jojo explained solemnly, “You must sense it, right? The unique talent that sets you apart from others.”

Gou Lumu’s pupils contracted as he thought of his own unusualness.

“Strong will, courage, and the heart to vanquish evil!”

Jojo’s gaze locked onto Gou Lumu’s, and the atmosphere suddenly took on an old-fashioned solemnity.

“Tell me! Can you do it?”
