Chapter 1 The Emperor Chooses to Escape
Chapter 1 The Emperor Chooses to Escape
Chen Miaowen's favorite manga is "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure".
My favorite Stand in the anime is The World, because Takehito Koyasu's voice is very distinctive; he often says to outsiders:
Anyone who doesn't like "the world" is considered to have no taste.
Having read through the entire series of comics, Chen Miaowen was fascinated by Araki's art style and battle panels. As a result, he tried to get into painting in real life and even became a well-known abstract painter at school... He really had no talent for painting at all.
Dio Brando is his favorite villain, followed by Yoshikage Kira. Not only does he possess the absolute charm of a villain, but most importantly, Killer Queen is very cool.
Chen Miaowen uses photos of Yoshikage Kira and Killer Queen as his profile picture on any social media platform.
His classmates all thought he was obsessed with reading comics, but only he knew the truth. He simply longed for the scenes of Stands fighting.
Having a stand-in is so exciting!
"When will my Stand awaken?"
Countless nights, Chen Miaowen lay in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Perhaps it was a blessing from fate, but one day he woke up and truly awakened a Stand. To be precise, it wasn't his own, but Diavolo's, the final boss in the Golden Wind world.
King Crimson.
When he came to his senses, he found himself enveloped by a yellowish-brown sky. He immediately recognized that this was a world in the JoJo universe.
Behind him was a red stand-in with a small face etched on his forehead.
It wasn't an awakening, it was time travel!
I'll transmigrate into the boss's body!
While excited, he also found himself confronting Giorno Giovanna. Under normal circumstances, he felt he could handle it; if he could win, he would fight, and if he couldn't, he would run away. However, he was unwilling to harm these protagonists from the JoJo world.
But things are different now. Bucciarati has deactivated the Silver Chariot Requiem's power, and Giorno has obtained the Insect Arrow.
Chen Miaowen could no longer laugh at the upcoming plot and what was about to happen.
He felt fear and despair, to the point that he was trembling all over.
It's like suddenly possessing the power to destroy the world, only to find that you can't use it even a little bit in front of a bloodthirsty criminal... In short, if you don't run away, you'll die countless times in an untouchable reality, just like the plot has developed!
The will that "running away would destroy the pride of an emperor, I cannot run away, my goal is to be at the top" still lingered in his mind. This was the remnant of Diablo before his soul was possessed, but he was Chen Miaowen!
He threw his will to the back of his mind.
The boss was unaware of the plot and believed he could still struggle and had a chance to become emperor, but he knew everything.
Fate is irresistible, and Diablo's final fate was to be unable to access reality and to linger in the brink of death.
Although that's what he thought, now that he'd transmigrated, he had to find a way to survive, and he didn't want to experience his boss's pain even in death.
He also believed that if he ran away at this time, it would be difficult for the main characters to catch up.
If the boss had given up his so-called pride and run away in the original story, Golden Wind could have been filmed for at least four or five more episodes.
So, just a second before Rongrong pierced his chest with the insect arrow, he activated his ability.
"King Crimson!"
Chen Miaowen had always believed that activating a Stand ability required calling out a name.
Buzz----
For the first time, he experienced what it was like to be in a world of time and space, but he had no time to marvel at it. He had to escape quickly, escape the riverbank, escape the Colosseum in ancient Rome, escape Italy.
"It will probably be some time before the Gold Experience Requiem awakens, and I need to do my best to unleash my full potential."
In the original story, Gold Experience seems to die first and then transform into Requiem, which may take one or two minutes. However, the deletion time is ten or so seconds. Adding the four or five seconds required for the ability's interval, he can only delete it seven or eight times in total.
"It should be able to run quite far now, right?"
Mista's blood suddenly started dripping very quickly. He knew that the Crimson King had used his powers several more times. Trish could also feel her father getting further and further away. She reminded Giorno again that her father still had to be afraid of running away.
Unexpectedly, their last remaining combatant—Gold Experience—was pierced by the insect arrow, and Giorno also collapsed.
After several deletions of time, Gold Experience successfully transformed into the strongest causal Stand in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure history. However, Chen Miaowen, the enemy, had already run away.
"Diavolo!!!"
......
Chen Miaowen had never learned about the Roman Colosseum or the internal terrain of Italy. He only knew to run in the opposite direction and get as far away from that riverbank as possible.
He dared not relax. According to the setting, the panel data of Gold Experience Requiem is simple yet strangely nothing. This nothing could represent infinity, infiniteness, or meaninglessness, so he had no way of deduce the weakness of Requiem.
Unable to fight back, with no chance of winning.
Golden Experience Requiem is universally acknowledged as invincible in the old world of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
Although the original story ended with Ryujin preventing the boss from achieving his goal, much of the power of Requiem was not revealed.
For example, returning to the initial state, eliminating all unfavorable factors, etc.
Who knows if Giorno has the ability to return the battle to its initial state?
"Probably not? How are we supposed to hide then?"
In the manga, Araki did not provide a specific explanation of what exactly this "return to the beginning" encompasses.
If I were to travel through time, would these settings still exist?
"Hey buddy, slow down, watch out!"
As Chen Miaowen was lost in thought, he bumped into an Italian man on the street while trying to undo the deletion.
To his surprise, he was able to understand what the Italians were saying.
It felt as if a Chinese person with a slight accent was having a relaxed conversation with you.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"Alright, alright..."
The Italian turned to leave.
They were able to understand my replies.
"Hey friend, can I ask you something?"
Chen Miaowen suddenly stopped the Italian man, took out some money from his pocket, and waved his hand.
The Italian's eyes flickered.
"Go straight ahead, then turn left at the fork in the road. There's a hidden harbor there, and a horse-drawn boat will be leaving in two minutes."
Chen Miaowen had some of Diablo's memories, but he didn't expect that his boss hadn't even left himself a way out; the ship that left Italy didn't even exist in his memory.
Fortunately, he was lucky enough to ask a local who owned a private boat, and since he was planning to rent it out, taking a waterway was not a problem.
"Is this some kind of fate?"
In the world of JoJo, fate is real, and since I am no longer Diavolo, nor the final villain of Part 5, the boss's fate of defeat may no longer exist.
"Alright, friend, consider this money as payment for the boat fare!"
"Oh dear, this is too much, I'm so sorry..."
Despite saying that, the Italians immediately pocketed the money, and Chen Miaowen couldn't take it back even if he wanted to.
But he didn't care, since the money didn't belong to him anyway.
He summoned the Red King and secretly took it from the Italian's pocket; it was simply returned to its rightful owner.
"I can't use my ability anymore. Stand users attract each other. Even if I didn't run into Giorno, I might still run into other troublesome beings."
For example, Fugo, as far as he knew, disappeared after leaving the main characters' group, and it wouldn't be surprising if he appeared anywhere.
Although Ziyan has no way of getting close to the Red King, and there is no such thing as Ziyan restraining the Red King, so dealing with him would probably be easy for me, Fugo's IQ is so high that he might discover something strange during our first meeting and conversation, thus exposing my whereabouts.
Of course, if fate allowed, he also wanted to become friends with Fugo or Giorno.
Unfortunately, that's impossible.
"...Let's leave Rome first."
