Johnson Joffrey shakily climbed out of the blood, his hands and feet trembling, blood occasionally bursting from his body. He considered this a bad start.
I'm developing into a Mista-like meat shield, which doesn't fit my persona of being a decisive and influential figure, even though I added that persona myself.
Gloria watched Johnson Joffrey get up from the ground, remained silent for a moment, then reconnected the call.
The remote automatic robot's eyeballs unnaturally rotated in different directions, then it suddenly charged at Johnson Joffrey.
"I've already seen through your attack," Johnson Joffrey said, pulling an arrow from his pocket. This was Polpo's arrow, and it was surprisingly useful in his hand. The main reason was that this arrow could attack Stands and was rich in immense energy. At the very least, Johnson Joffrey couldn't risk having Reversed Hierophant let go while he was connected to the arrow.
The robot sped towards Johnson Joffrey, who was covered in blood. He secretly calculated that its safe zones were 2 meters, 1 meter, 0.8 meters, 0.92 meters. There was a thin membrane between the safe zone and the explosion zone. The membrane appeared one second before it shouted the attack range. I must enter its range when it shouts the safe zone, otherwise I will be ejected by the thin membrane and then explode.
"Your next line is..." Johnson Joffrey smiled.
"Attack range 0.908 meters — —"
As Johnson Joffrey finished speaking, he pulled out his revolver. Although the calculation method was very simple and seemed really silly, he had no choice. He only had one bullet left, and he was gambling his life.
Whether I am a DIO family member or a Jo family member, my luck is exceptionally good.
"Bang!!" A loud gunshot rang out.
"Attack range 0.908 meters!" the robot roared.
A huge explosion occurred. This should have been the last explosion the place could withstand; half of the terminal building was directly blown down.
Johnson Joffrey, 0.8 meters away from his Stand, raised the arrow high and plunged it into its head.
I won!
The explosion lit up behind him. There was no oxygen the moment he entered the membrane; this was indeed a vacuum field.
The robot Stand let out a frantic cry, struggling and starting to emit green smoke, like a moth to a flame, disappearing under the sunlight.
When the smoke from the explosion cleared, Johnson Joffrey quietly picked up the arrow.
"I survived..." Johnson Joffrey said faintly, then looked at Ghiaccio over there. He lay quietly, the frozen part of his brain beginning to thaw due to his body temperature. I must knock out the little girl before he wakes up to disable her Stand Ability, otherwise Ghiaccio will impede my attack on the little girl.
Johnson Joffrey limped towards the little girl.
Gloria was horrified; it seemed her Stand could only attack one person at a time, which was why she brought "Sunset Anthem." Two Stands against two people. If this little girl could control many people at once, it would be truly terrifying. He and Ghiaccio would both be finished here.
She stumbled forward on her small feet.
"If you don't stop, I'll shoot!" Johnson Joffrey mercilessly raised the empty pistol and aimed it at the little girl.
"Ah ah ah ah!" she screamed, falling to the ground, having scared herself. She really looked like a little girl, not some deceptive old woman in a child's body. She flailed her small arms, shouting, "Don't shoot, don't shoot!"
"Quickly dismiss your Stand!" Johnson Joffrey said expressionlessly.
The little girl slowly began to sob.
"Cry again, and I'll blow your head off, you brat!"
She immediately stopped crying, whimpering, "I… I can't dismiss it. It only dismisses automatically when he truly forgives me. I can't do anything!"
"Why didn't you leave? Wasn't it because you needed to control the Stand?" Johnson Joffrey questioned.
"No!" She immediately shook her head. "To wait for you all to die, and take your heads to anger Risotto!"
Johnson Joffrey spun the revolver, aimed at her, and lightly pulled the trigger. The revolver made a crisp sound—
"Don't shoot… don't shoot…" She closed her eyes and let out a deafening cry, then… she fainted from fright.
Johnson Joffrey walked over and kicked her. Finding no movement, he realized she had truly fainted from fright.
Johnson quickly ran to Ghiaccio, who was slowly coming to. The intense sunlight shone into his eyes, and he abruptly sat up.
He stared blankly at Johnson Joffrey for a long moment. Johnson waved his hand in front of his eyes, checking if his brain had been frozen.
He blinked at Johnson, finally reacting, then dry-heaved a few times. It seemed his brain had taken a bit of a jolt.
Ghiaccio, you didn't go stupid, did you?
He looked around the terminal. The terminal was basically in tatters, bombed beyond recognition. He whispered, "You defeated them?"
"Yes."
After a moment, he said again, "Johnson, you still say your ability isn't explosions!"
Johnson: "…"
Suddenly, Ghiaccio seemed to remember something and roared, "Where's that bastard girl?! Huh?!"
Ghiaccio seemed to have just remembered. He didn't seem stupid yet; he could still rage impotently, which meant he was still Ghiaccio!
The Stand behind his neck activated again, forming a pair of hands that firmly gripped his neck.
"Ghiaccio! Calm down first!"
"Ugh… ugh… da… damn it…" Ghiaccio clutched his neck and painfully collapsed to the ground.
"Quickly… Johnson… go find Melone!" Ghiaccio struggled on the ground.
Melone's Baby Face couldn't possibly be useful; it could only cut Ghiaccio into pieces. But from Johnson's perspective, this "Apology Letter" was firmly attached to Ghiaccio like a tattoo.
Johnson looked at the arrow in his hand, then at Ghiaccio. Stabbing him with the arrow was definitely not an option; it was too risky. What if he accidentally stabbed Ghiaccio?
"My Stand is the absorption and control of energy. The lines I pull out can be said to be the embodiment of energy," Johnson calmly analyzed.
Ripple is also a form of energy, and a Stand is also called a Ghost Ripple… One of the progenitors of this body of mine is Jonathan Joestar. Did some of his Ripple power get inherited by me?
If the energy my Stand extracts is a type of Ripple, then a Stand is also a type of Ripple. I have also extracted the energy threads of Black Sabbath before.
Reversed Hierophant appeared behind Johnson, placing its hand on Ghiaccio's neck, and a shocking piece of information entered his mind… There were indeed two energy fluctuations on Ghiaccio's neck. If this is the case, does this mean I've picked up a discarded setting from the JOJO World?
Johnson smiled faintly, and Reversed Hierophant suddenly appeared behind him—
"Muda Muda Muda Muda—"
After several shouts of Muda, a thread was indeed extracted from Ghiaccio's neck. Johnson connected it to the thread on the arrow without hesitation.
The arrow, as if alive, began to devour the shadow on Ghiaccio's neck. After absorbing it completely, it became like an ordinary arrow again, emitting a dim light… "Ha… Hoo…" Ghiaccio exhaled deeply. He looked at the clear blue sky, feeling the joy of life.

Today, I saw I was second on the complaint ranking. I looked to see who the mighty first-place Big Boss was, and it turned out his bounty was to add a chapter for every thousand complaints.
Such a formidable Big Boss!
