Chapter 117: Joestar, You...
Page (1/3)
The Alpha fighter jet was broadcast live via satellite to the main screen of the Night Raid team, along with the voices of two people conversing.
Under Yuu Kirazawa’s control, the main screen split into two sections, displaying the situation inside the fighter jet.
Ever since Sara Mizuhara investigated Jotetsu’s background years ago, his Ultraman identity had been known to several high-ranking officials in TLT; there was no point in hiding it any longer.
“Jotetsu Josta,” Sara Mizuhara introduced the name, pausing briefly before adding, “He was a friend of mine.”
Hayato Umoto, upon hearing this, glanced at Sara Mizuhara in surprise.
As her direct subordinate, he wondered how he didn’t know this person—when did Jotetsu become their boss’s friend?
He recalled having a friend, but wasn’t that Shun Maki?
Ah well, better not meddle in the boss’s affairs.
Sara Mizuhara continued, “He is also someone possessing great power; this operation was planned and executed under his responsibility.”
She stopped there, indicating no intention to reveal more.
However, Jotetsu’s current appearance had been disguised to look like someone else, so Komuro didn’t recognize him.
The conversation inside the Chester fighter jet was also transmitted by Yuu Kirazawa.
Mitsuhiko Ishibori noticed the fighter’s optical camouflage deactivate and asked aloud, “Are we close to the location?”
“That’s right, almost there.” Jotetsu, fiddling at the pilot’s seat, handed a briefcase to Ishibori. “Here’s the equipment you need. You’d better check it.”
He spoke earnestly, placing the briefcase on Ishibori’s lap, then resumed piloting.
Ishibori was puzzled; he had brought his own collection devices.
But since Jotetsu offered it, he decided to open it.
It was just for show—he wasn’t really going to analyze anything.
That aberrant beast wielded dark power and had to be absorbed, which would cause quite a commotion.
Later, this man and those containing the aberrant beast would all have to be silenced.
What puzzled Ishibori was that he sensed no trace of dark power at the moment.
‘We’ll know when we get there; maybe the darkness is deeply concealed.’
Thinking this, Ishibori unwittingly opened the briefcase.
A clicking sound sounded; several syringes came into view, and suddenly something swiftly pressed against him.
It was Jotetsu’s Platinum Star!
Although Ishibori, as a Zaki’s potential user, could see the Platinum Star, he was utterly unprepared.
At such close range, his neck was instantly pierced by the syringes, and the liquid was injected into his body!

Ishibori’s eyes widened as he felt his body’s cells collapsing continuously.
“Why?! No, wait! Who are you!”
Seeing Jotetsu’s Platinum Star beside him, Ishibori immediately realized this man was no ordinary person!
His eyes turned bloodshot, and dark red patterns appeared on his face!
Injected with some unknown substance, all his cells and genes were breaking down in self-destruction; Zaki had to use dark power to sustain him.
“Oh, hey there, Jotetsu Josta.” Jotetsu reached under the pilot’s seat for something, spinning his chair to face Ishibori. “Of course, you can call me Ultraman JoJo!”
“How does it feel to be outsmarted, Wave Thomson!”
Gunfire erupted relentlessly!
Jotetsu wielded a submachine gun; the special bullets infused with ripple power easily pierced Ishibori’s dark energy, embedding deep into his body!
Jotetsu was no longer disguised; his face had reverted to its original form.
Ishibori’s eyes reddened with fury, instantly realizing he had been deceived!
“You bastard!! Ugh!!!”
The pain intensified as Ishibori screamed; his body was utterly destroyed beyond repair.
After emptying the magazine, Jotetsu pressed a button on the pilot’s console: “Zaki, your potential user is done for!”
At that moment, the pilot’s seat ejected explosively into the sky.
The mechanical voice from Pal No. 2 sounded.
[Self-destruct sequence 1098 initiated.]
“Damn it!!!” Ishibori, furious, immediately pressed the ejection lever in the co-pilot’s seat.
But nothing happened, and the self-destruct countdown reset to zero.
[Self-destruct confirmed immediate.]
“?”
Ishibori was stunned. Then, a roaring explosion engulfed him in flames!
The Chester Alpha’s self-destruction was broadcast live to the Night Raid base.
Kazakura watched with a pleased expression: “Is this guy dead?”
From the moment the dark red marks appeared on Ishibori’s face, Kazakura was certain this man was the mole within Night Raid!
Though betrayed by a subordinate was painful, he hoped Ishibori was taken care of.
Everyone else stared at the main screen, convinced Ishibori was finished—no one could survive such an explosion.

Only Sara Mizuhara remained serious; having seen humans possessed by monsters before, she wasn’t ready to conclude definitively.
“Ishibori Mitsuhiko was possessed by Zaki; he is no longer human.”
Sara Mizuhara frowned and continued, “Although the chemical solution and special bullets I developed were all injected into Ishibori’s body, as a human he is undoubtedly dead, but Zaki—”
On the main screen, as the blazing explosion in the sky subsided, a black orb of light suddenly burst forth!
Ishibori’s body was gone, but Zaki was not dead!
Realizing the body was beyond salvage, it chose to abandon it.
Taking the form of a dark orb, Zaki flew straight toward Jotetsu high above!
“Josta!!!”
An enraged, guttural roar sounded, showing that Zaki bore extreme hatred for Jotetsu!
Now fully aware that Matsunaga had set him up, Zaki understood his identity was compromised!
All the high-ups in TLT probably knew it was Zaki!
All because of this bastard called JoJo!
Over twenty years—twenty whole years!
After arriving on Earth, it had schemed little by little, and now it was all gone!
Beast! Damn beast!
The dark orb that was Zaki locked its gaze on Jotetsu in the sky!
It sensed this was not a Nexus potential user!
Without a potential user, Zaki had to find another host; who better than Jotetsu to possess and exact revenge!
“JoJo!!!”
Zaki roared again, the dense darkness forming chains that flew rapidly to ensnare Jotetsu!
Jotetsu, seeing Zaki’s attack, originally planned to trigger the invincible frame from his transformation.
But this felt wrong!
Instead of transforming into a giant, Zaki appeared as a dark orb!
Zaki wanted to possess him!
