"Boss, I guess we completed the mission, right?" Sera Masumi composed herself and asked.
"Mm, think carefully about your wish." Su Ze knew what Sera Masumi wanted to ask. He nodded, then looked at Kishibe Rohan. "Rohan, thank you."
Kishibe Rohan smiled. "If you really want to repay me, be my model for three minutes later."
"Alright." Su Ze readily agreed.
He clearly felt that when he obtained the arrow, the gaze of fate was distributed among Kishibe Rohan, Sera Masumi, and Higashikata Josuke.
"To this extent of fate… I should be able to protect them."
Of course, the prerequisite was to protect himself first.
Fate's attention on him at this moment was terrifyingly high.
Suze's hairs stood on end, feeling as if there were unnameable enemies all around him.
"You're already this excited just by holding it. If I really took it away, how excited would you be?"
Su Ze thought to himself.
If he were to avoid offending Fate, he should discard the Substitute Arrow after using it.
But…
"System, how many Desire Points can I get if I recycle the Substitute Arrow in my hand?"
"23,999,999 Desire Points."
Can't throw it away, absolutely can't throw it away!
In fact, considering the effect of the Substitute Arrow, tens of millions of Desire Points were already considered little, as it only stimulated the target's Stand, rather than directly granting power.
If it could directly grant Stands like Star Platinum or Killer Queen, its value would be immeasurable.
"If I sell the arrow, I'll have over thirty million Desire Points… Thirty million Desire Points are completely enough to push the quality of my Stand to the extreme of extremes!" Su Ze's mind raced, deciding to take a risk.
As for whether thirty million Desire Points for awakening and enhancement were worth it…
Absolutely worth it!
For example, if Su Ze directly wished for a time-stopping ability with the same effect as a Stand like The World, it would cost around thirty million Desire Points.
And an ability like Bites the Dust, which rewinds timelines, would be an even more astronomical figure.
This was just a pure ability, it couldn't awaken Requiem, let alone go to Heaven!
Stands merely have an unclear ability to cause trouble, but their actual status is extremely high.
For Su Ze to awaken a Stand with thirty million Desire Points was equivalent to using a "town-level power" to accomplish a "world-level" feat.
"Wait for me a moment." Su Ze said, and without waiting for their response, he turned and walked into the Dimensional Door.
The moment he stepped into the Dimensional Door, the sky began to thunder, with thick blue lightning bolts intertwining, incredibly frightening.
The entire Morioh Town seemed to be welcoming the apocalypse.
Sera Masumi and Kishibe Rohan were both startled by the lightning, their hearts pounding.
Rainbow Village Okuyasu was even worse, crying non-stop.
… …
Inside the Crystal Palace.
Oriental Woman and Tsuji Aya were strolling around.
Some crystals were as thick as walls, while others were so transparent that even light could pass through, making for a dazzling display.
The two women didn't feel bored at all, even chatting and laughing.
Although Kohei Azuma had only died recently, he was quite old, so it was considered a natural death. Therefore, Oriental Woman wasn't heartbroken to the point of wailing.
When the two women saw Suze appear, they both came forward to greet him.
"Suze…" Oriental Woman had a smiling face, which, coupled with her reddish eyes, gave her a look of pear blossoms bathed in rain.
Su Ze hugged her. Oriental Woman had a faint sandalwood fragrance on her, which had been infused into her clothes from burning incense earlier.
"Where's Josuke?" Oriental Woman asked casually after enjoying a moment of warmth.
Upon hearing this, Su Ze quickly released Oriental Woman: "Let's talk later, I have an urgent matter now."
He entered the Crystal Palace because he was afraid that Fate would secretly interfere when he awakened his Stand.
But now there was a problem.
If he left, the weight of Fate would likely be distributed to Josuke and the others!
So he had to accelerate the awakening of his identity!
Seeing Suze so serious, Oriental Woman sensibly pulled Tsuji Aya away.
Su Ze quickly deleted and added some wish conditions in his mind, then spent a minute confirming everything was correct, and then plunged the Substitute Arrow into his neck!
At the same time, he recycled the Substitute Arrow and made his wish within one second.
"System! Consume thirty million Desire Points to successfully awaken an ultra-spec Stand that perfectly fits my characteristics… The Stand needs to be to my liking… No other consciousness… "
Oriental Woman and Tsuji Aya's eyes widened, not knowing why Suze was self-harming. Just as the two were about to rush up to stop him, a stunning spectacle erupted from Suze's body.
A golden light pillar, like a rock pillar, soared through the heavens and earth, shining in all directions, with thousands of auspicious rays and sacred scenes manifesting one after another.
Su Ze was at the center of the light pillar, with golden elves circling around him, scattering light rain as they danced.
Unknown murmurs began to sing out of thin air, sacred and magnificent, reaching far and wide, omnipresent, like the initial stirrings of the universe.
Angels and saints appeared in the high sky, their blessings transforming into musical notes, converging towards Suze.
Two flowing, splendid light lines appeared in the Crystal Palace. Each time the light lines flowed, they transformed into various forms of sentient beings and cosmic forms, as if they were paintings from various parallel worlds.
The warp threads were the flowing years.
The weft threads were the karma of all beings.
Warp and weft were also years and time.
The golden light pillar, piercing through heaven and earth, slowly receded, and a giant golden clock surrounded by angels emerged!
It emitted endless light, dispelling all anomalies.
"Blessed moment! Holy praise! Chronos!" The angels and saints uttered their final praise, then transformed into light and shadow bubbles, disappearing without a trace.
They were not truly existing life forms, but merely some kind of sacred phenomenon.
"A clock?" Su Ze looked at the clock above his head, slightly raising an eyebrow.
If he remembered correctly, he had wanted a humanoid Stand in his heart, and when he wished, he added a vague prefix of "to my liking"… In this situation, if it didn't affect important factors like combat power, the Stand should be humanoid.
Just then, the golden clock shattered inch by inch, and fragments of brilliant golden color fell downwards, transforming into a two-meter-tall humanoid creature with seven clocks suspended on its back.
It was solemn and sublime, with seven clocks nestled together on its back, some large and some small. Its slender body radiated golden light, like a divine being. Black and gold domineering armor enveloped its body, with two ferocious sharp horns on each shoulder pad, and exposed muscles that were full and powerful.
Looking at his Stand, Su Ze activated his True Magic Eye.
This was the fastest way to understand the Stand.
"Stand: Chronos."
"Destructive Power: ?"
"Speed: ?"
"Range: ?"
"Durability: ?"
"Precision: ?"
"Development Potential: ?"
"Ability One (Transcendence): The Stand and the user possess a unified, independent timeline, with no co-located entities or other spatiotemporal entities."
"Ability Two (King of Time): Unaffected by any time-based abilities."
"Ability Three (Wheel of Time · Time Stop): Inserts a personal timeline into the original timeline, for a maximum of three minutes. After time stop, individuals whose foreheads are touched are unaffected by time stop."
To investigate Chronos's information, Su Ze used one-third of his magic power, and when he finished reading all the information, he had only two words in his heart.
Invincible!!!
