Chapter 2725 The Appearance of 'Pillar Man' Santana!
The holographic image slowly dissipated in the center of the starry round table.
The originally sci-fi-inspired visuals transformed into starlight and returned to nothingness.
But the silence in this mysterious space lasted for less than a second.
"OH——MY——GOD!!!"
Joseph Joestar held his head in his hands and leaned back at an exaggerated angle.
Those bright blue eyes were wide open like copper bells.
Her elongated chin almost hit her chest.
"This is insane!"
He sized up the small, unremarkable Natsuki Subaru with the eyes of someone looking at a monster, then pointed at him and shouted:
"Return from the dead? Resurrection?"
"Having gone through that hellish torment, how could you have remained rational and not gone insane?"
Joseph swallowed, his frivolous expression fading slightly, replaced by an indescribable admiration.
"Although I hate to admit it, if it were me, it would be so utterly terrible. Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle!"
"You're not exactly a great guy, but you're definitely got some toughness!"
Natsuki Subaru was a little embarrassed by this sudden, exaggerated praise.
He could only scratch his head and smile wryly: "Actually, I've also broken down many times."
“Especially before joining the council, I was planning to run away with Rem.”
"You've already done an amazing job of surviving so many deaths!"
Joseph said it with absolute certainty.
His gaze then shifted to Perona, who was sitting next to him on his left.
"And the world government you mentioned!"
"An organization that rules over nearly twenty worlds and even takes over the underworld is simply terrifying beyond belief!"
"I hope that 'stargate' doesn't open on my Earth, otherwise I don't know how I'll face it!"
"Horo horo horo~"
Upon hearing this, Perona immediately beamed with joy.
"Isn't that great, Brother Joseph? We can meet in real life now!"
“Oh—No—”
"I refuse to meet my pen pal in real life!"
Joseph shook his head repeatedly: "Who knows what my world will become!"
Finally, his gaze fell on Aizen, who maintained a gentle demeanor throughout.
"And you too!"
"He looks like a refined Asian university professor."
"It really is a 'Grim Reaper'?"
Aizen calmly met his gaze: "Most people do not really want to see Shinigami, I can understand that."
"hiss--"
Joseph suddenly took a deep breath.
Even someone as impulsive as him was experiencing a tremendous psychological shock at this moment.
But he is, after all, Joseph Joestar.
A man who can find a way to survive in any desperate situation and possesses the strongest adaptability.
Although he is still a bit green and inexperienced now, he is not the 'old guy' he will become in the future.
He suddenly slapped his cheeks.
The shocked and exaggerated expression on his face receded like the tide.
In the blink of an eye, he regained his cheerful and confident demeanor, with a hint of slyness in his smile.
Joseph plopped back into the Libra chair.
He habitually crossed his legs, brushed his bangs aside with his left hand, and scanned Aizen, Subaru, and Perona.
"Alright alright!"
I believe in you!
Joseph leaned back in his chair, shrugged his broad shoulders, spread his hands, and grinned:
"Looks like I've really hit the jackpot this time."
"I've actually gotten involved in such a bizarre event that I could never have dreamed of."
His azure eyes sparkled with excitement for the unknown and the mysterious.
"Able to communicate across worlds, help each other, and trade goods?"
"That sounds really exciting!"
Appreciation flashed in his eyes behind the blue-dyed glasses.
This young man's mental fortitude and ability to adapt were even better than expected.
Natsuki Subaru, who is the same age as him, didn't show this behavior back then.
"Since you have already accepted the status quo."
Aizen crossed his fingers on the table and spoke again in a gentle, warm voice.
"Would you be willing to share your story and the features of the world you live in?"
"I believe that anyone chosen to come to the Council of Stars is definitely not just an ordinary person."
"Indeed, my identity and experience are worth discussing."
"I have indeed encountered some trouble recently that required assistance."
Joseph's playful smile faded, and his eyes gradually became serious.
At that moment, his entire demeanor changed.
Especially the musculoskeletal structure and the boundary between light and shadow on the side of the face.
Subaru and Perona seem to have become more three-dimensional.
Is it just my imagination?
“A few days ago, I just wanted to go to the Nazi base in Mexico to rescue Grandpa Speedwagan.”
"did not expect"
At this point, Joseph recalled the thrilling battle of the previous day.
The chill still sent a shiver down his spine.
"There we met a monster called 'Santana'."
"Is Santana even human?"
Perona tilted her head curiously to look over.
"No, little princess, that's not a 'person'."
Joseph shook his finger and continued his statement in a somber tone.
"I don't know much about it either."
"It is said to be the ultimate life form with a dormant period of two thousand years."
"Because it was found integrated with the wall, the Nazis called it the 'Pillar Man'."
Joseph's voice lowered, carrying a menacing tone as if he were telling a ghost story.
"The Pillar Man?"
Subaru Natsuki repeated the strange title.
Joseph wagged his finger: "Although I killed it myself yesterday, that guy was a nightmare."
He began to vividly describe the battle with Santana.
"Santana's body is completely unreasonable."
"He can control his flesh and blood to squeeze into ventilation ducts that are only a few centimeters wide, despite his size being about two meters tall."
"He can enter other people's bodies and control them from the inside."
"Or by making contact with it and completely devouring its flesh and bones."
"His IQ is ridiculously high."
"The first time I saw a firearm, I could immediately disassemble it and learn how to use it after just one glance at the process of using it."
"This made him increasingly difficult to deal with during the battle."
"That's why Stroheim said it's the ultimate form of biological evolution!"
"Manipulating the body's flesh and blood."
Ten-year-old Perona looked unusually thoughtful.
"It sounds a bit like the 'life return' that the teacher mentioned in biology class."
"I just don't know if I can achieve the level you described."
Aizen, seated in the Gemini constellation, remained silent.
The reflection on the lenses made it impossible to see his eyes.
"The scariest thing is..."
Joseph, with a serious expression, continued speaking.
“Nothing can kill him except sunlight and Ripple Qi Gong.”
"Even if you fry him into a pile of minced meat, he can quickly recover."
"what?"
Natsuki Subaru was shocked upon hearing this: "How are we supposed to deal with this?!"
"Afraid of sunlight... Doesn't that sound a lot like a ghost or a vampire?"
Perona thought to herself, "But I remember that among the vampires of the starfish, those who reach the rank of Baron can use their blood energy to protect themselves from sunlight."
Joseph sighed. "It really does resemble a vampire from legend."
"However, when it is exposed to the sun, it does not turn to dust, but into a stone."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but clutch his head and scratch his hair.
“What’s worse is that before he died, Stroheim told me that there were three ‘Pillars of the Gods’ in Rome, Italy, who could awaken at any time.”
"If something like this happens, all of humanity will be in danger of extinction. I really don't know how to deal with it."
"The Santana was all won by luck, let's get three more."
"interesting."
Aizen, who had been listening quietly, finally spoke again.
