Dragon Tamer: Ultimate Lifeform

Abandoned cabin.

Diavolo went out to deal with the onlookers and returned shortly, saying, "The wind is picking up outside; it might rain later."

Dawn nodded and urged everyone to pack up and prepare to depart.

"Dawn, Purple Hermit hasn't detected Mista's whereabouts yet. Isn't it a bit too early for us to leave now?"

Joestar put down the shriveled wild rabbit in his hand, looking somewhat confused.

"No, things like this have happened many times before. The enemy now isn't Mista, but Kars."

Dawn briefly explained the situation. The others exchanged shocked glances but still chose to believe him.

"Kars's Stand can copy our abilities in an instant. How are we supposed to deal with an enemy like that?"

Joestar sat atop Cloud Dragon, his tone filled with frustration and heavy thoughts.

"Don't worry, I've already thought of a solution."

Dawn touched Cloud Dragon's scales, his mood filled with excitement as he thought about what was about to happen.

A massive thundercloud was rapidly converging, lightning occasionally flashing across the pitch-black night sky.

Mista began to exert his power, and the world's rain clouds were surging towards this area.

To avoid being struck by lightning, Dawn had Cloud Dragon descend and fly rapidly towards Mista's location.

"An unprecedented supercell thunderstorm. Kars is certainly powerful, but in the face of absolute numbers, he'll have to yield."

Cloud Dragon soon reached its destination. Sensing Mista and the other person, Cloud Dragon let out a low growl and descended to the ground.

"Regain your full size. We have a tough battle ahead."

Dawn instructed Cloud Dragon before looking at Mista.

"How is it?"

Mista nodded, looking somewhat exhausted. Repeatedly using his Stand's ability, "Death Loop," had taken a significant mental toll on him.

Each time requiring a headshot, it was difficult for anyone not to break down.

Everyone concealed themselves, waiting quietly.

An explosion echoed from the sky. A giant peregrine falcon broke through the air, flapping its wings and landing steadily on the ground.

"Why do I feel a sense of familiarity when I see you?"

Kars, having transformed into human form, frowned. Dawn gave him a very complex feeling, like both an acquaintance and an enemy.

"A strange feeling."

Kars muttered to himself and took a step forward.

Dawn looked up at the sky. The thick, dark clouds felt like Mount Tai pressing down, giving him a strong sense of suffocation just by looking at them.

Splash!

Raindrops the size of beans poured down, and Dawn's figure gradually blurred in the downpour, making him difficult for Kars to see clearly.

"A petty trick. You're the demon who will destroy the world, aren't you?"

Kars spread his arms, enjoying the unprecedented downpour, his eyes fixed intently on Dawn.

Immediately, bone blades shot out from his arm, and he took a step forward, his figure crashing through the rain curtain and charging straight at Dawn.

"Wait a moment."

Hewitt flicked his staff, attempting to intervene.

"Noisy."

Kars's bone blade flashed, a cold light glinting. Hewitt's headless corpse lay on the ground, and it took him a while to get up, groping for his missing head in the rain.

"Rain can't stop me," Kars sneered, raising his hand slightly as he muttered.

"This is an ability I obtained by chance—the Sun."

A fireball with a diameter of two meters rose into the sky, emitting intense light and heat, evaporating the raindrops that hadn't yet fallen.

Dawn shook his head and replied to Kars's probing gaze, "Merely relying on rain won't kill you; at most, it'll cause you minor trouble. The real show is about to begin."

Dawn raised a finger. Thunder rumbled across the gloomy sky, like the terrifying roars of an unknown creature.

The thunder continued unabated, and lightning danced, weaving a dazzling, tree-like diagram.

Kars glanced at the sky. A lightning bolt flashed, and within the dark clouds, some unknown colossal entity was stretching its body.

Roar!!!

The giant entity stirred the dark thunderclouds, its blue vertical pupils locking onto its target. An invisible pressure fell upon Kars's heart.

Kars's wild hair involuntarily floated slightly, as if charged with static electricity—a premonition of an impending lightning strike.

"What did you do?!"

Kars felt uneasy, his body twisting rapidly as a layer of insulating skin grew, attempting to quell his inner turmoil.

"I'll kill you in one second!!!"

Kars's five fingers detached, twisting into venomous little snakes that burrowed into the ground, rapidly approaching Dawn.

He himself sprouted wings from his ribs and charged at high speed through the wind and rain.

Dio, observing from the shadows, gritted his teeth but could only fret. Once he activated Time Stop, Kars learning it would be beyond imagination.

At that point, not just Dawn, but everyone would die here.

"Thunder, obey my command."

Dawn pointed at Kars, and a deep blue lightning bolt suddenly struck, forcibly halting Kars's actions.

The ferocious thunderbolts wantonly destroyed Kars's cells, breaking through the insulating skin and ravaging his body.

"Is that all you've got?!"

Kars gritted his teeth and endured, a cold smile curling his lips.

The five venomous snakes successfully approached Dawn, erupting from the ground. In mid-air, they opened their maws, revealing sharp fangs.

"I said, I'll kill you in one second."

Kars wore a look of certain victory, but the next second, his expression froze, his teeth grinding audibly.

"Vaporization? Damn Stand ability."

Kars struck a pose and activated his Stand, Gaia's Consciousness.

"No, no, why can't I learn it? There's a problem!"

Dawn exited his Vaporization state, drew his sword, and cut down the venomous snakes. He then saw Kars striking a pose and immediately understood his intentions.

"Cloud Dragon, activate with full power!"

A low growl came from Cloud Dragon in the gloomy sky. Its massive body churned the thunderclouds, and bolts of lightning as thick as water buckets struck down.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The lightning bolts almost formed a continuous line. No matter how Kars dodged or separated his body, he couldn't escape.

The thunder that reverberated throughout the heavens and earth seemed to roar, never ceasing.

"Damn demon!"

Kars forcibly split his body in two, escaping the lightning's immobilizing effect. His upper body burrowed into the ground, while his lower half exploded, scattering in all directions.

Dawn did not relent. Rainwater poured into the openings, followed closely by lightning, which conducted electricity to once again restrict Kars's movement.

"Even the remaining flesh could grow into another Kars. We can't let a single one escape!"

Joestar roared. Dawn naturally knew this and brought down the lightning punishment from the heavens, pursuing the scattered remnants of flesh fleeing into the jungle.

A scorched smell began to permeate the air.

After a long while.

At dawn, the ferocious thunder gradually ceased, and the dark thunderclouds dispersed. The entire jungle was almost nonexistent.

The continuous bombardment of lightning had caused the ground to carbonize at high temperatures, turning rocks to powder. The surrounding trees and plants had completely vanished, as if it were the end of the world.

As the white smoke dissipated, Kars's hiding spot looked like a meteor crater, with occasional arcs of electricity still flashing and radiating intense heat waves.

An unknown creature lay in the center, its body covered in a large amount of graphene and metallic substances, with the surrounding sand and soil fused into it.

This form, somewhere between biological and mineral, preserved Kars's life to the greatest extent.

"Kars, you're still not dead?"

An immortal body, truly miraculous.

The group surrounded the crater. Mista drew his hand cannon and fired at Kars, but the bullet bounced off, leaving no trace.

A white object fell from the sky. Dawn reached out and caught it. Cloud Dragon, as thick as a finger, subconsciously coiled around it, showing no reaction.

[Stand: Beyond Imagination: Dragon Tamer]

Activate.

Cloud Dragon rapidly transformed into a pale white dragon egg, floating in Dawn's palm.

Dawn placed the dragon egg onto Kars's body. The immortal, unkillable body was finally gradually consumed, leaving not a single remnant.

Crack~

The dragon egg hatched, and a robust figure with two horns on its head and a few scales on its body crawled out.

The figure stood up, opened its pale golden vertical pupils, and its demeanor and actions closely resembled Kars.
