Crossover anime: In Little Garden, proving godhood once and for eternity

Joseph couldn't understand why Qin Qi, who was usually so calm, would suggest something so reckless at a time like this.

"You're right, JoJo. If it were up to me, I'd blow his house up and burn it down."

"But I have one concern right now: just how many people are inside? Could there be an escape route or something?"

"If I were Kars, I'd definitely leave myself a way out, a way to escape even if the house was blown up."

That was what worried Qin Qi. In the anime, only Wamuu was inside, but that might not be the case now.

"We could wait until they come out at night to attack them. Wouldn't that be safer?"

Joseph still thought it was far too reckless, and he spoke up.

"That's true, but what worries me more is that there might only be one of them inside, not two."

"Suppose it's Kars. We can charge in and kill him, and that'll be the end of it. But what if it's Wamuu instead of Kars?"

Qin Qi asked.

"Kill him."

Caesar answered without hesitation.

"No. If Esidisi and Wamuu die one after the other, Kars will completely abandon his contempt for us."

"If Kars dies and only Wamuu is left, I'm not worried. That guy has a warrior's honor; he'll definitely come after us for revenge."

"But Kars is different. He'll pay any price to achieve his goal, even if we kill all his companions."

"As long as Kars senses danger, he'll stop showing himself and keep watching us from the shadows."

"He might even go straight into hiding for a few hundred years, wait until we're dead, and then come out to seize the Super Aja Stone."

"How would we deal with that when the time comes?"

Qin Qi was confident in his current strength. What worried him wasn't being unable to defeat the Pillar Men, but Kars going straight into hiding.

It would be too hard to find him in such a vast world. He might even turn himself to stone and hide in the sea, leaving them no way to find him at all.

"We..."

Caesar, Joseph, and Lisa Lisa all fell into thought. That was right. Besides whether they could defeat their enemies, there was another enormous problem.

That was whether their enemies would fight them at all. If they hid and waited a few hundred years, there really would be nothing they could do.

"Our only chance is to take advantage of Kars and the others' contempt for Hamon warriors and their desire for the Super Aja Stone!"

"We deliberately charge in now and tell them we're here, and that we have the Super Aja Stone too."

"That'll make them come looking for us!"

Joseph slapped the table and spoke at once.

"Smack!"

"Don't steal my lines! I was supposed to say that, and you went and stole it from me!"

Qin Qi backhanded Joseph with a punch. They had been just about to reach the climax, and he had been about to reveal the plan.

Who would have thought Joseph would jump out halfway through and steal his lines? How infuriating.

"All right, stop fooling around. Now that we've decided, let's put the plan into action."

Lisa Lisa broke up their horseplay, and they made preparations before officially putting the plan into action.

Qin Qi remembered a joke about Demon Slayer's breathing techniques: "Fooled you! There are no breathing techniques at all. I'm just that strong. I only told you catching my breath after getting tired from fighting was a breathing technique so I could fit in."

It was a joke, but on closer thought, it seemed right. For a cheat like Yoriichi Tsugikuni, wasn't a breathing technique just taking a couple of breaths after getting tired from fighting?

And the protagonist seemed capable of that too! Ripple Breathing Method? No such thing. It was pure instinct and cheating.

Chapter 15: The simulation ends, leaving the JoJo world!

[You launched your attack as planned and encountered Wamuu at the house. After a battle...]

[Wamuu was injured, and he also saw the Super Aja Stone hanging around your neck. In the end, Wamuu chose to flee.]

[Your plan succeeded. You exchanged glances and all smiled.]

[That night, you made thorough preparations and waited for the Pillar Men to attack. At four or five in the morning, when humans were at their most exhausted...]

[Kars and Wamuu attacked, but you were prepared and were not caught off guard.]

"Lisa Lisa, go help JoJo and Caesar deal with Wamuu. I can handle Kars alone."

Qin Qi spoke to Lisa Lisa.

"All right! Stay alive, don't die!"

Lisa Lisa didn't hesitate. She knew Qin Qi's suggestion was the best choice: concentrate their strength on one point of the enemy. That was the best choice.

"Don't worry, I'm strong. Besides, I don't want to die either."

As he spoke, Qin Qi charged at Kars, and the battle began in an instant.

"You deliberately lured us here, and you let Wamuu escape on purpose too. Your goal was to catch us all in one net."

"Hmph. You were afraid you wouldn't be able to find us if we went into hiding. Humans are such short-lived creatures."

Kars also quickly worked out what was going on. His first choice was to call for Wamuu to retreat.

Since the enemy had laid such a trap, they were bound to have prepared a killing blow. Fighting now would be foolish.

The smart thing to do was to escape, observe the situation, and wait for an opportunity.

"It's too late, even if you've figured it out. The moment you appeared before me, you were already going to die!"

"Hamon drive, Magnetic Field Rotation, full power, Thunder Hamon Overdrive!"

Instead of releasing lightning as he usually did, Qin Qi concentrated the power of Magnetic Field Rotation, which strengthened his body, directly into his fist.

That would let him strike with more concentrated, more powerful force.

As soon as Qin Qi finished shouting, he turned around. In the shadows not far behind him, a pair of eyes suddenly opened!

"Hidden Thunder Hamon Overdrive!"

Countless bolts of lightning Hamon erupted across the ground. Kars sprang into action, ready to dodge, but he was still a step too slow.

His body was caught by the magnetism of the lightning Hamon, slowing him for an instant.

By then, Qin Qi was already in front of Kars, striking out with a punch. Kars met it with his rapidly spinning bone blade.

Fist and bone blade collided in an instant. The incomparably sharp blade, capable of slicing steel to pieces, was shattered by Qin Qi's punch.

The fist struck Kars without losing any of its force. In an instant, his cells began to collapse and melt.

"You... how the hell did you find me?!"

Kars asked with a final scream. His body had completely turned to stone, so even Hamon couldn't detect him!

How had this guy found him?!

"Simple. There are only two kinds of people who waste words on their enemies. One kind deliberately uses words to draw their attention, and the other is genuinely stupid."

"And you're no fool. You're the kind of guy who'll stop at nothing to achieve his goal."

Qin Qi really hadn't noticed Kars at first. Kars had turned his body to stone and blended perfectly into the environment there, without a trace of life.

So his life magnetic field detection really hadn't found anything wrong. But watching Kars waste words, he had instinctively felt something was off.

He probed again and found an incredibly faint mental fluctuation. In that instant, he understood that Kars was once again making a feint in the east to strike in the west.

Sure enough, the old schemer could never fight head-on.

Kars's body melted completely. To the very end, he had failed to overcome sunlight and the effects of Hamon.

Kars was dead, and his double instantly collapsed as well. Qin Qi turned to look toward Wamuu. Lisa Lisa and the others had also defeated him.

The battle was over, and it was just five or six o'clock. The morning sun gradually rose, and dawn appeared before them.

[Life simulation completed. Your Hamon learning performance, battle performance, and ending completion met the standards, and your performance was exceptionally good.]

[Reward: Steel Ball Spin Technique. Additional reward: improved physical attributes. Additional reward: Gift: Stone Mask.]

[Simulation complete. End the simulation and return to the original world?]

Qin Qi didn't accept immediately. He walked over to Lisa Lisa and took the Super Aja Stone from around his neck.

"Lisa Lisa, the battle's over. I'm getting ready to leave. I'm giving this back to you."

Qin Qi didn't know whether he could take it out of this world, but... he still chose to return it to Lisa Lisa.

For Lisa Lisa, who had protected it for so many years, its symbolic meaning outweighed its practical value.

For Qin Qi, although the Super Aja Stone could help with cultivation, it wasn't one of a kind. He could buy a similar item after returning to Little Garden.

But for Lisa Lisa, it was one of a kind.

"You're leaving? Of course. You were a detective with a life of your own to begin with. You only got caught up in all this because you were learning Hamon."

"Now that it's over, naturally you should go back to your own life."

Lisa Lisa stared at the Super Aja Stone Qin Qi held out to her. She paused, and then a hint of disappointment appeared in her eyes.

After spending so much time together, Lisa Lisa had grown used to having Qin Qi around. Now that he was suddenly leaving, she felt a little sad.

She reached out to take the Super Aja Stone, but Qin Qi took her outstretched hand.

"Lisa Lisa, you said before that protecting this was a mission you had to hold fast to, but... I don't think so."

"The kind of life you want to live should be your own decision. Now that everything's settled, you can go after the life you want."

"Consider this a small, slightly unreasonable request from me before I leave."

Qin Qi raised Lisa Lisa's hand and placed the Super Aja Stone in it. Then he smiled and kissed the back of her hand.

After doing all that, Qin Qi prepared to leave, but Lisa Lisa called him back.

"You really are always so gentle, staying by my side when I'm lost and sad. If I really were a young woman in my twenties..."

"I'm afraid I'd fall for you no matter what. But unfortunately, I'm already an old woman now."

As Lisa Lisa spoke, she leaned forward, looking as though she were about to kiss Qin Qi.

"Ohoho!"

Joseph still didn't realize how serious things were. He even pulled Caesar over to watch the show, his eyes blazing with the flames of gossip!

Qin Qi was ready too, but he froze the next second. He saw Lisa Lisa lean forward and then hang the necklace around his neck.

"If I keep it, it'll only be an ornament. It's more useful to you than it is to me."

"Besides, the Pillar Men have been wiped out, so there's no need to hold on to the Super Aja Stone anymore. That's why I'm giving it to you."

"Mua. Consider this a parting gift too. No matter where you are in the future, I wish you safety and good health."

Lisa Lisa smiled. This time, her smile was a little more playful and a little less serious. She rose on tiptoe and gently kissed Qin Qi on the forehead.

"Thanks, Lisa Lisa. No matter where I am, I won't forget any of you. I'll carry this journey in my heart."

Qin Qi turned and said goodbye to everyone again. Once he had walked out of their sight, he chose to return.

After Qin Qi left, the sunlight fully illuminated the world. Lisa Lisa and the others watched the rising sun.

"It's over? Just like that?"

Caesar looked at the morning sun, a little lost. The nightmare that had haunted three generations of his family had vanished just like that.

Everything had gone so smoothly-so smoothly that it had almost been too easy.

"No, it wasn't easy at all."

"To deal with the Pillar Men, Qin Qi spent a great deal of time cultivating Hamon, pushing it to an unprecedented level."

"Even so, he still proceeded with caution at every step. The enemy was hidden while we were exposed, but Qin Qi took advantage of their contempt."

"He lured Esidisi over and used ultraviolet lamps to eliminate Esidisi, their strategist."
