• Nagato sent Konan away and told Lin Qing that the bombardment would kill everyone in Kyoto City.

Lin Qing faced Nagato’s Tailed Beast bombardment and refused to abandon Kyoto City, but he found no reliable way to stop it. Whitesnake revealed it had prepared a trump card: it used the Dimensional Ascension Star Core to evolve, beginning a trial that left Lin Qing determined to carry on.

• Nagato explained that he had chosen to bombard Kyoto City with six Tailed Beasts, arguing that fear and overwhelming power could secure lasting peace, while Lin Qing refused to escape and abandon the city’s people.
• Lin Qing considered using Bites the Dust or drawing a six-star Stand, but Whitesnake warned that neither offered a dependable way to protect Kyoto City.
• Whitesnake revealed it had secretly placed an order in Lin Qing’s Memory Disc to use the Dimensional Ascension Star Core and evolve into C-Moon if Lin Qing faced an unsolvable danger.
• The system began a Whitesnake trial requiring Lin Qing to go to Kennedy Space Center in Florida, defeat Father Pucci, and seize C-Moon, with death causing failure and the Star Core’s loss.
• Lin Qing bumped fists with the fading Whitesnake, thanked it, and resolved to succeed.

Lin Qing entered Jolyne Kujo’s body during a trial mission and joined her group on the way to confront Father Pucci at Kennedy Space Center. After C-Moon’s gravity manipulation nearly sent them falling to their deaths, Lin Qing revealed his knowledge of Pucci’s abilities and introduced himself to the suspicious group.

• Lin Qing realized he had become Jolyne Kujo while traveling with Ermes, Emporio, and Anasui toward the Space Center.

• Lin Qing used Stone Free to pull Emporio from the falling car as the group clung to a guardrail and fought off falling debris.
• Lin Qing explained C-Moon’s abilities and warned the group to avoid its fists.
• Anasui questioned Jolyne’s changed demeanor, and Lin Qing identified himself and said he would leave after killing Pucci.

Lin Qing convinced Ermes and Narciso Anasui that he was not an enemy, then tested Weather Report's Disc and found he could use its power only briefly before it rejected him. At the space center, Father Pucci awakened his gravity-based Stand and realized the Joestar Family's blood was the final opportunity he needed.

• Ermes and Narciso Anasui attacked Lin Qing, but Emporio stopped them and reasoned that they should let him use Weather Report's Disc.
• Lin Qing briefly summoned Weather Report and used its abilities, but the Disc rejected his spirit and flew out of his chest.
• Lin Qing persuaded the group to continue toward the space center, and Narciso Anasui warned him not to touch Jolyne Cujoh's body.
• Father Pucci recovered at the visitor reception station and felt his body and spirit changing as a new Stand awakened.
• Father Pucci recognized that the Joestar Family's blood was the final opportunity he needed when he saw Lin Qing and the others arrive.

Lin Qing fought Father Pucci’s C-Moon at Kennedy Space Center, using his combat skills and Stone Free’s threads to evade and restrain the Stand before it broke free. As Anasui searched for Pucci nearby, Jotaro Kujo was dispatched to assist the soldiers outside the gravity-distorted area.

• Lin Qing received Anasui’s pouch of barbed nails and Steel Balls, then sent Anasui to search for the hidden Father Pucci while he, Ermes, and Emporio entered the plaza.
• Emporio spotted C-Moon sneaking up behind Lin Qing and warned him, but Lin Qing detected the attack with Stone Free’s threads and pinned the Stand to the ground.
• Lin Qing fired Emporio’s revolver at C-Moon, but the Stand inverted and tore apart the ticket hall, forcing Lin Qing to escape as C-Moon broke free.
• Lin Qing and C-Moon resumed their fight, and Lin Qing told Anasui to narrow his search for Pucci to fifty meters; Anasui acknowledged Lin Qing’s performance.
• Soldiers and police failed to enter the area, and their commander announced that Jotaro Kujo would arrive to help them.

Lin Qing endured C-Moon’s gravity-reversing punches, learned to counter them with Möbius-strip-shaped fists, and gained the upper hand. Anasui found Father Pucci and relayed his location, leaving Lin Qing poised to attack him with a spinning steel ball.

• C-Moon struck Lin Qing’s left arm and turned its flesh inside out, but Lin Qing calmly studied the effect.
• Lin Qing let C-Moon hit his injured arm again, restoring it and confirming that the second reversal healed the damage.

• Anasui found Father Pucci and sent his location to Lin Qing through a thread.
• Lin Qing kicked C-Moon, leapt toward Pucci, and prepared to strike with a spinning steel ball.

Lin Qing used the Ghost Room, Ermes's KISS stickers, and his Golden Spin to bypass Father Pucci's gravitational defense. The two spinning steel balls struck Pucci's temples, leaving him howling in pain.

• C-Moon blasted Lin Qing away with stone tiles, but Lin Qing anchored himself to the floor with threaded nails and Ripple.

• Lin Qing used Ermes's KISS sticker to make two steel balls attract each other, and they struck Father Pucci's temples simultaneously.

Lin Qing survived Father Pucci’s helicopter attack by using a rotating sphere of threads, ice, and Ripple to clear the flaming wreckage, then charged at him. Pucci exposed Lin Qing with C-Moon and fired a pistol at him.

• C-Moon’s shifted gravity caused two helicopters to lose control, and one crashed into Father Pucci, disrupting the Steel Balls’ alignment.
• The merged Steel Balls opened long wounds across Pucci’s face, but he declared the helicopter a gift from fate and used its wreckage to attack Lin Qing.
• Ermes, Narciso Anasui, and Emporio feared Lin Qing had been overwhelmed by the burning debris.
• Lin Qing formed a rapidly spinning sphere of Stone Free threads, Weather Report’s icy mist, and Ripple to deflect the wreckage, then rushed toward Pucci.
• C-Moon flipped Lin Qing’s protective threads inside out, and Pucci fired several bullets at him with a pistol.

Lin Qing killed Father Pucci and took C-Moon, revealing that he could wield multiple Stands. Jotaro Kujo arrived and demanded to know who Lin Qing was.

• Lin Qing used Golden Spin and Ripple to overcome Father Pucci, then recited Pucci's secret phrases as he stripped C-Moon away.
• Lin Qing used C-Moon to crush Father Pucci's skull, killing him and ending the threat of his gravity ability.

• Lin Qing told Emporio, Ermes, and Anasui that a spirit surpassing ordinary human limits could wield multiple Stands.
• Jotaro Kujo arrived with Star Platinum and asked Lin Qing who he was, saying he reminded him of an enemy who died in Egypt.

After defeating Father Pucci, Lin Qing left Jotaro with advice meant to reach other parallel worlds, then returned to Kyoto and used C-Moon’s gravity control to stop Nagato and confront the incoming Tailed Beast Bombs. The chapter ended with the world watching Lin Qing face the attack threatening Kyoto City.

• Lin Qing showed Jotaro a steel ball from their earlier battle, and Jotaro recognized him through a powerful sense of déjà vu.
• Lin Qing studied the space center’s blueprints before Emporio and Jotaro wondered whether déjà vu could transmit warnings between parallel worlds.

• Lin Qing returned to Kyoto, unlocked C-Moon, and used its gravity control to break Nagato’s Planetary Devastation and send him falling.
• Lin Qing reached Kyoto City’s wall as eighteen Tailed Beast Bombs approached, while Sasuke called the attack the “World” train hurtling toward them.

Lin Qing used the will of Kyoto City's citizens to destroy the Tailed Beast Bombs before they could hit the city, forcing Nagato to admit defeat. Obito escaped while four Tailed Beasts remained behind, and Lin Qing’s arrival frightened Matatabi and Isobu but did not stop Son Goku and Kokuō.

• Lin Qing coated rising stones in Ripple flames and used the citizens’ will to fuel them, blasting the Tailed Beast Bombs into the sky before they struck Kyoto City.
• Nagato caught a falling spark, admitted that he had lost, and collapsed.
• Obito threw two half-transformed Jinchuriki into the Kamui Dimension and fled, leaving four Tailed Beasts behind as flaming stones battered them.
• Matatabi and Isobu recognized Lin Qing and obeyed when he told them to be quiet, while Son Goku and Kokuō remained unafraid.

Lin Qing subdued the four tailed beasts, deciding to spare them for research, while the war’s defeat left Itachi without a purpose. As Sasuke and Xiaotao moved to kill him, Kisame sacrificed himself to help Itachi escape, and Sasuke killed Kisame.

• Lin Qing crushed Son Goku, Isobu, Matatabi, and Kokuō with gravity, and they surrendered.
• The Daimyo’s ninjas gave up as Lin Qing’s victory decided the war, leaving Itachi and Sasuke still fighting in Kyoto City.
