The Dimensional Codex of Destruction

Upon arrival, Qin Mo saw five tall figures standing by the sea, seemingly discussing something.

"This scene..."

Qin Mo observed their body language and the action of an old man removing his gloves.

Isn't this the plot where Polnareff joins the Stardust Crusaders?

Meaning, if he had come earlier, he could have beaten up Polnareff?

Ah, a loss of fifty Crystals, and this is Hong Kong. JOJO and the others are about to depart again, so there's no time to sightsee.

Qin Mo led the two behind him towards the five figures.

At this moment, Polnareff had just declared his intention to join JOJO and the others in hunting down his enemy.

"Anyway, even if we refuse, you'd still follow us, right?"

Joseph Joestar shrugged and said.

"In that case, bring us three along too."

As Qin Mo's voice came from behind them, the five figures instantly became alert and looked over.

"This won't do, Jotaro, Mr. Joseph. You can't be so careless on the way to hunt down Dio."

Qin Mo shrugged.

"Dio! You just mentioned Dio!"

"Another killer sent by Dio!"

"There are three of them!"

The five figures immediately summoned their Stands, ready to face Qin Mo.

However, Qin Mo wasn't nervous. The two behind him couldn't see Stands at all, so they naturally didn't know what was happening. Qin Mo had told them when he arrived that he would handle the negotiation.

"Mr. Joseph, you don't need to summon your Hermit Purple. It's not a combat-type Stand."

Qin Mo said jokingly, "You all don't need to be so tense. I am not your enemy, but your friend, or even an old friend. It's just that you don't recognize me now."

"What do you mean?" Jotaro asked Qin Mo expressionlessly.

"Time travel, you understand, right? I'm from the future, here to change some past events."

Qin Mo spoke off the cuff, beginning his deception.

Chapter 3: Joining the Team

"The future?"

Qin Mo nodded. "In the future, I get to know Jotaro and Mr. Joseph. However, Mr. Joseph in the future has dementia. I suspect it's because his brain was injured by an enemy Stand user's attack during this journey."

The group looked at Joseph, clearly not believing him. "Do you have any proof?"

"Yare yare, it's really not easy to find proof. After all, a lot of information is from the future, and in the future world, only Mr. Joseph, Jotaro, and Polnareff are still alive."

"Polnareff? You mean me?"

Polnareff pointed to himself, surprised that he was being brought up.

"Ah, right, there's something only Mr. Joseph knows."

"Something only I know?"

Joseph Joestar pointed to himself, then looked at the others who were looking at him. "Go on, tell me. I'll judge for myself."

"That is, you cheated on a woman named Holy Joestar, and she has now given birth to a child for you named Josuke Higashikata, who lives in Morioh... Ugh..."

Before Qin Mo could finish, Joseph covered his mouth. "Alright, alright, old man. I believe you. Jotaro, this young man is probably telling the truth."

"Yare yare, old man, I'll tell Grandma Suzie Q about this."

Jotaro pulled down his hat. It was obvious to him that Qin Mo was telling the truth.

Avdol and Polnareff nudged Joseph. "We never expected you to have such a romantic history."

Joseph scratched his head. "I didn't know Holy had a child either. If it's true, neither I nor the SPW Foundation know about it. But if that child really grows up, he'll find out eventually. I'll have the SPW Foundation investigate it later to see if it's true or not."

Qin Mo shrugged. "Of course it's true. I just didn't expect that you, Mr. Joseph, never paid attention to Josuke all this time. Speaking of which, he's also having a high fever due to his Stand. If we don't deal with Dio, he'll probably die too."

"Really! How do you know?"

Joseph was shocked. He only had two children, and both were on the verge of death because of Dio.

"Of course, he told me in the future. He said that when he was four years old, he had a high fever, and his mother's car broke down due to heavy snow. Then a young man with a pompadour saved him, which is why he's kept the pompadour. By the way, he's thirteen years younger than Jotaro, but he's Jotaro's uncle."

"Yare yare..."

Upon hearing this, Jotaro pulled down his hat again. Kakyoin patted his shoulder in comfort.

However, after hearing Qin Mo's words, the group began to place some trust in him.

"Never mind my affairs, tell us why you are here and what you are here to do."

Joseph didn't want his romantic history to be known any further and quickly changed the subject.

Qin Mo didn't dwell on it and continued, "In the future, Dio's closest friend inherited Dio's dying wish and restarted the world."

"The root cause of restarting the world is because after you defeated Dio, Jotaro, you read his notes. And that best friend's Stand ability is to turn a person's Stand and memories into DISCs."

"In the end, Jotaro and his daughter's friends sacrificed themselves to stop that person, but he still accelerated it by half, and the original world was still destroyed."

Qin Mo roughly explained the unfolding of Stone Ocean, and that the notes were about things that would happen in the future.

"Jotaro has a daughter!? What's her name?"

"Old man!"

Joseph's focus was clearly a bit off. After Jotaro shouted angrily, he sighed, "So, you're here to stop me from looking at that notebook?"

Qin Mo nodded and then shook his head, "Not entirely. This experience, Mr. Jotaro, you will remember for a lifetime. But because of Kakyoin, Avdol, and Iggy's deaths, you've always regretted it, especially Polnareff. So since I have this opportunity, I also want to try and see if I can change the outcome."

"I will provide you with information about the enemies you've mentioned to me before, but there might be some you haven't mentioned. Also, because of my interference, there might be a butterfly effect, so you still need to be vigilant."

The few people pondered Qin Mo's words.

"If that's the case, your information is indeed useful. Then what about these two young girls? And how did you travel through time? Also, what is your Stand ability?"

Joseph nodded, temporarily believing Qin Mo's unbelievable claims, but still asked cautiously.

"Time travel is not my Stand ability. It's a one-time ability I obtained through other fortunate encounters. The price for it is that my power has been limited. The current Stand is an ability borrowed from a Stand user I met in the future."

Qin Mo didn't hide anything. Instead, he revealed his Stand, Crazy Diamond: "This Stand is the Stand that your son, Josuke Higashikata, will obtain in the future. Its ability is to repair. Even if a person dies, as long as their soul hasn't dispersed, it can be healed."

After speaking, Crazy Diamond punched the floor, smashing it, but a golden energy controlled the debris in mid-air, and it miraculously returned to its original state.

"Oh, oh, it really recovered."

The few people exclaimed in amazement.

"And then there's this, it's the Stand of Josuke's friend, Killer Queen."

Crazy Diamond suddenly transformed into Killer Queen, and he waved his right hand towards the nearby wall: "Its ability is to erase space."

"How is that possible!? One person has multiple Stands!?"

Facing everyone's shock, Qin Mo smiled, "This is also due to my fortunate encounters. And this Stand, King Crimson..."

"Its ability is to delete time, making people lose a few seconds of memory. Polnareff, this is also the Stand of the person who will cripple you in the future. His name is Diavolo, and he is the boss of Passione."

"Cripple me!? With this ugly Stand?"

Polnareff pointed at himself in shock, then suddenly realized Qin Mo had disappeared: "Where did he go!?"

"I'm here!"

A white palm patted Polnareff on the shoulder.

"When did that happen..."

"So fast!"

It was Joseph who understood immediately: "No, this time deletion, what a terrifying ability. I didn't notice it at all."

Releasing Polnareff, Qin Mo smiled and said, "This is nothing. Jotaro's ability with DIO's Stand is truly terrifying."

Everyone's gaze turned to Jotaro.

"Yare yare daze... Star Platinum also has abilities?"

Everyone thought Star Platinum's ability was just high stats, but now it seemed it had undeveloped abilities.

"Time Stop. The current DIO can stop time for five seconds, and it might even develop to nine seconds later. Jotaro also has the same ability, but because he is human, the limit can only reach five seconds."

"Time Stop, huh."

"A terrifying ability..."

"Can we even win against that?"

Joseph looked at Jotaro, "If that's the case, then perhaps the key to defeating Dio lies with you, Jotaro!"

"Yare yare daze..."

Qin Mo finally introduced Kiana and Mei: "Actually, this isn't my first stop. I've been to other worlds and gained some special powers. And these two have been accompanying me on my travels."

"This white-haired one is Kiana, and this one is Mei. They are both my best friends."

"However, due to time travel, our powers have been sealed. These two are not Stand users yet, so they can't see Stands. But with some time, they can recover some of it. By then, I will give them two other Stands to use."

Kakyoin Noriaki looked at Qin Mo and said, "To be able to lend Stands to others, what a terrifying fortune."

"Hahaha, you all shouldn't doubt me anymore, right? Since they are our future friends and friends of friends, then they are our friends too. Let's celebrate together tonight. The ship the SPW has arranged should arrive tomorrow."

Joseph laughed heartily, seeming satisfied with the day's events. The others also nodded.

But just as they turned around, Jotaro's Stand suddenly appeared, and both his left and right fists suddenly struck towards Kiana and Mei.

Then, at the limit of their reach, they stopped abruptly.

"Yare yare daze..."

Jotaro pulled down his hat and retracted his Stand, while Kiana and Mei were completely unaware of what had happened.

"Remember to apologize tonight."

Hearing Qin Mo's words, Jotaro didn't say anything, just pulled his hat down lower.

Chapter 4: Clash with Polnareff

"You're welcome, let's toast to our four new companions today!"

That evening, Joseph treated everyone to a big meal at a local restaurant, and their departure ship was scheduled for the next morning.

In the afternoon, they had already booked rooms at the hotel, and Qin Mo had informed them about the forms of Stand users they would encounter and their Stand abilities.

Upon hearing that The Hanged Man was the enemy he had been searching for, Polnareff jumped up. He was also indignant to learn that he had barely won his previous fights, either achieving a narrow victory or relying on others for help.

Kiana and Mei listened with amazement. They couldn't see Stands yet, and the bizarre Stand abilities Qin Mo described opened their eyes.

Kiana was eager to try them out, wishing she could awaken a Stand immediately to experience it.

"Then I won't hold back."

Kiana had been hungry for a while. In their original world, the great Destruction had occurred in the morning, causing the three of them to miss lunch. After arriving in the new world in the afternoon, they had been explaining and rushing around. In reality, it wasn't just Kiana; Mei and Qin Mo were also very hungry.

"Hahaha, don't hold back."

Seeing Kiana's genuine hunger, Joseph chuckled. Kiana possessed a strength that could always infect others.

Mei nudged Kiana, who was eating like a starving ghost, with a bit of embarrassment before politely thanking Mr. Joseph.

Regardless of anything else, Joseph was the oldest person present. Although he sometimes acted like a young man, and Jotaro often rudely called him an old man, it was clear that everyone deeply respected him.

"But this way, our team is even younger."

Joseph said, looking around at the people present. While still strong for his age, he also realized that he was getting old.

"Mr. Joseph, you're probably not even fifty yet."
