The Dimensional Codex of Destruction Chapter 20

The King of Puppets, Dogri

Narciso

Zeppeli

Koby

Rabido

Nameless Genin

Tohsaka Tokiomi

Arad Novice Grappler

Assault Demon Soldier

Seeing these names, Qin Mo recognized some of them, but many more were things he didn't know, and some even felt like filler, like Nameless Genin, Arad Novice Grappler, and Assault Demon Soldier.

The description for Nameless Genin stated they were genin from the Naruto world who only mastered the Three Body Technique.

The Novice Grappler was in a similar situation. The Assault Demon Soldier was from the same world as Credo, whom Qin Mo had drawn before, but the two were worlds apart in terms of power; the former was merely a mook.

However, Qin Mo could now confirm his previous guess.

The threshold for A-rank was having a special ability that surpassed ordinary humans or mastering a special energy.

Among all his A-rank cards, Ezio was the closest to a normal human, but Ezio also possessed a special ability called Eagle Vision.

Therefore, even mere mooks like Nameless Genin and Assault Demon Soldiers were classified as A-rank as long as they possessed special powers.

Looking at it this way, his luck with drawing cards hadn't been too bad.

Among these nine cards, two came from the JOJO world. Zeppeli was Will A. Zeppeli, the one who taught Jonathan Joestar. Besides his mastery of Hamon, he had no other abilities, and Hamon was useless to them in the current situation.

The other was Narciso Anasui, whose Stand was Diver Down, capable of injecting power and speed into objects before releasing them.

The remaining Rabido came from the Hunter world, whose Nen ability was Explosive Propulsion, with its effect being as the name suggested.

Koby came from the One Piece world and possessed more skills than the others, including Rokushiki and both Observation Haki and Armament Haki.

Although Koby's proficiency in each skill wasn't particularly high, it was still a seed of power.

Tohsaka Tokiomi was from the Type-Moon world, but his magical abilities relied on jewels, making their symbolic meaning greater than their practical significance.

Although many of the characters drawn this time were unusable, they opened up three new worlds: Naruto, One Piece, and Type-Moon.

Currently, Qin Mo's goal in drawing cards was to obtain characters that could help him break through the current predicament.

Looking at the cards in the system, Qin Mo realized that one item could help him now.

Chapter 21: Abilities from Another World

He silently replaced Ghiaccio's character card with Koby's, and a special sensation instantly filled him.

Haki, a special power that existed in the One Piece world. The essence of Haki was a latent power inherent in the human body, like aura and killing intent, originating from willpower.

Among them, Observation Haki was an ability that could sense the surrounding environment.

Unlike Eagle Vision, which, although essentially a form of sixth sense, leaned more towards seeing with the eyes, Observation Haki leaned more towards hearing.

In the current situation, Qin Mo had already tried Eagle Vision but hadn't seen any enemies.

Either the enemies were beyond Eagle Vision's range, or Eagle Vision couldn't detect them.

As Qin Mo activated Observation Haki, for a moment, the emotions of all the surrounding creatures flooded his ears.

The surroundings seemed to become noisy, filled with Mei's concern, Kiana's curiosity, Polnareff's irritation, Jotaro Kujo's vigilance, and the expectations of others.

Within the mountain wall, there was an emotion filled with malice, and outside the cave, there was an emotion exuding laziness.

This is...

A Stand...

He had already prepared himself for the possibility of not being able to detect Stands after losing his own, but he hadn't expected Observation Haki to be able to sense emotions emanating from Stands.

No, it should be the emotions emanating from the Stand users through their Stands.

After a brief moment of confusion, drawing upon Koby's experience in using Haki within the character card, Qin Mo instinctively grasped this sudden power.

He had to thank the sun outside; all the insects had died under that sun, creating a life-forbidden zone around them.

And underground, two hundred meters away, there were five presences, and these five presences were filled with malice...

"There are actually five..."

Death Thirteen, High Priestess, The Sun. Even with Judgement, which could manipulate earth, that only made four. Could the Egyptian Nine Glory Gods have arrived too? If going by order, it should be the Stand that uses water, Geb.

"I've found the enemy..."

Qin Mo pointed his finger in one direction: "The enemy is in this direction."

Everyone looked at Qin Mo's finger pointing at the ground, stunned, then reacted: "It's underground!"

"No wonder we couldn't find them!"

"They are two hundred meters away from us."

Polnareff stared at the ground in disbelief. "But how are we supposed to defeat them!?"

"We can't attack them at all if they're underground!"

As the group looked at the ground, troubled, Jotaro had already summoned Star Platinum. "In any case, we just need to break through."

"ORA!"

After Star Platinum punched the ground, it began a barrage of rapid attacks. However, unlike a mountain wall, the dirt from the craters it created remained within the holes, making progress very slow.

"Hee hee hee, that's right. Even if you dig for a day, you won't be able to reach us."

Mitra, using The Empress's vision, saw the futility of Star Platinum's attacks and wasn't in a hurry. Wheel of Fate's digging ability was also extremely fast. Even at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour, Jotaro and the others couldn't shake off Wheel of Fate, which was traveling underground.

Even if Star Platinum managed to dig all the way here, Wheel of Fate could still escape from everyone else immediately.

The other Stand users around them dared not speak, merely watching the esteemed Mitra with trepidation.

Sensing the mockery emanating from The Empress's Stand through his Observation Haki, Qin Mo felt relieved. At least she wouldn't launch a surprise attack.

And the enemy wouldn't escape either...

Qin Mo had initially thought Kiana's lucky cheat had been disabled, but now it seemed the luck effect was still present, just not as exaggerated as before.

At least at this moment, the two perfect character cards drawn could handle the current situation. "It is the best policy to learn from others' mistakes," and under this ability from another world, even well-hidden enemies would be exposed.

"Diver Down..."

The others looked at the new Stand summoned by Qin Mo with expressions of surprise.

"Oh my god! Is that a new Stand?"

Qin Mo nodded. "Yes, it's the Stand needed for the current situation."

As he spoke, Diver Down began to furiously strike the ground. Unexpectedly, Diver Down's attacks caused no damage to the ground at all, as if it were just going through the motions.

"Qin Mo, is that Stand really useful?"

The group watched Diver Down perform what seemed like "useless efforts" on the ground, completely unable to understand its purpose.

"Of course... In fact, the enemy has already been defeated by me."

As The Empress was still trying to guess the abilities of the newly appeared Stand, she heard Qin Mo's words and her expression suddenly changed. "Quick! Drive away from here!"

The Empress had guessed that this new Stand's ability was to strike from a long distance, ignoring obstacles.

But clearly, she had misunderstood something.

Just as Wheel of Fate began to move, countless fists suddenly appeared on Wheel of Fate, launching indiscriminate attacks on everyone inside the car.

Diver Down, Speed A, Destructive Power A, it could even send its attacks, or itself, into objects. It could deliver attacks through obstacles like striking through a wall to hit the target behind it, or cause attacks to erupt within an object, producing an effect that ignores defense.

And the earth itself was a single entity. Wheel of Fate, being in direct contact with the earth, was naturally within the range of this power's transmission.

The destructive force that was driven into the ground erupted directly inside Wheel of Fate.

"It's already defeated?"

Polnareff looked incredulous. Star Platinum also stopped its attacks on the ground.

"If I'm not mistaken, the sun will disappear soon, and we can finally get a good night's rest."

Without detailed explanation, as Qin Mo's words fell, everyone saw the sunlight outside disappear.

"It actually did!?"

The group watched the sun disappear and then looked at Diver Down, which was still relentlessly attacking the ground. Except for Polnareff, who kept asking what had happened out of curiosity, the others remained silent.

"Alright! It's already past midnight. This enemy was quite troublesome. Everyone should get some rest."

Glancing at the time on his pocket watch, the tug-of-war with this enemy had lasted a long time. Fortunately, they had finally defeated the opponent with Qin Mo's clever trick, otherwise, it would have been very disadvantageous.

Qin Mo took out tents and sleeping bags from his backpack and distributed them to the others.

"No matter how many times I see it, your ability is so convenient. This way, we can also prepare more supplies."

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Stand That Foresees the Future

"We've finally arrived in Egypt..."

As the group officially set foot on Egyptian soil, Avdol exclaimed.

After being attacked by The Sun, they hadn't encountered any more enemy attacks. They had traveled across several countries from Pakistan and finally landed on Egyptian soil.

The fact that they hadn't been attacked by DIO's subordinates along the way left everyone puzzled.

"Could it be that the so-called Egyptian Nine Glory Gods never leave Egypt?"

Although it sounded absurd, there was some logic to it. While the Egyptian Nine Glory Gods sounded similar to the Ennead, they were actually different things.

Most of them were different from the Ennead that Qin Mo knew. Qin Mo remembered being ridiculed when he thought the Nine Glory Gods were the Ennead and discussed it with others elsewhere. He only realized later, after looking up information, that the Nine Glory Gods in JOJO were fabricated by the author.

However, in the world of JOJO, the Nine Glory Gods seemed to be the legitimate ones, and the Ennead he was familiar with did not exist.

"Isn't it better if no enemies attack? We've arrived in Egypt earlier than expected, and we're one step closer to DIO."

Kakyoin Noriaki stepped onto the Egyptian land with the others and looked around. "Is this Egypt? It's all desert as far as the eye can see."

He took an off-road vehicle out of his backpack and placed it on the ground. "I wish it were just like this. If the enemy decides to make a stand in Cairo, it will be troublesome."

Although this possibility was quite low, as DIO needed time to recover from his injuries, even without him, the other Stand users gathering together would be a huge problem.

"Ahhhh... the journey so far has been okay, but why is it basically all wilderness or desert from here on out? This lady wants a bath."

Lying on the off-road vehicle, Kiana said weakly. Although they hadn't encountered any enemies, the rest of the journey was far from comfortable. While Qin Mo had prepared ample supplies, taking a bath was still impossible.

"Once we get through this desert, we'll find a town and rest properly. Traveling for this long has been really tiring."

Joseph got into the car and patted its seat. The others also got into the car.

The group drove all the way to the Nubian region of Egypt, and they still hadn't encountered any attacks along the way.

Enemies like Enndou, who should have been ambushing them in the desert, did not appear.

As a blind person, Enndou's best battlefield was an empty desert. His water-based Stand made him immune to physical attacks, allowing him to easily infiltrate the sand. The open terrain made it impossible to track his movements. Lastly, as a blind man, he could only rely on his hearing to judge enemies. In the desert, everyone besides him was an enemy, so there was no need to distinguish whose footsteps they were.

Once they entered the city, all these advantages disappeared.

After a day's journey, the group drove to the Nubian area, the nearest town.

"We're entering the city next, so let's hide our weapons first."

Because there was no one else in the wilderness and desert, Raiden Mei and Kiana carried their weapons with them at all times to deal with any enemies that might appear. For "professionals" like them, attacking the main body with their weapons was more natural than using their Stands.

However, it was different entering the city. These weapons could easily cause unnecessary conflict.

The two nodded and put their weapons into cloth bags, slinging them over their backs.

"We'll rest here in Nubia for the night and continue our journey tomorrow."

Joseph looked around. "There are actually more shops here than I expected. Let's find a place to eat dinner first. We've been camping outdoors for days and I'm sick of eating emergency rations."

"Okay, then let me choose..."

As Polnareff volunteered to pick a restaurant, the other three were hiding in a corner of Nubia.
