As for the external barrier, it can only be extended to one meter at present, and it requires mental effort to maintain, so it is currently maintained on the surface of the body.
Regarding the issue of inertia and gravity, just as Chang Yan had guessed, after the stand-in left, the pebble that had been stuck a short distance from the barrier suddenly fell to the ground, creating a small, shallow crater.
Regarding the second ability, Chang Yan only had a vague idea.
The animal that was previously being stuffed into the Stand's face was pressed against the Stand's face because Chang Yan was deep in thought, and as a result, the animal was suddenly stuffed in...
Then... the animal completely disappeared, and Chang Yan didn't feel anything foreign inside his body. But the stone that passed through him gave Chang Yan the feeling that something had hit his face.
Is this some kind of ability similar to the Stand "Subspace Miasma"? Is my face actually a separate dimension that can only absorb living beings? But my face is so small, how could it fit a grown person inside...?
Chang Yan caught several animals and threw them all over, while simultaneously canceling the distance barrier. The animals disappeared instantly after entering his face.
Sure enough, all the surveillance devices placed on these small animals disappeared, and these animals, being part of the body, vanished completely upon contact with the facial mist.
Instant death upon contact? That's incredibly powerful, my Stand...
No, I should say——
How powerful, a deceptive fog.
Yes, that's the name Chang Yan gave to his stand-in.
So, is the Distance Barrier really a barrier? If not, can this ability be used in reverse?
And so, Chang Yan fell into deep thought again.
Chapter 240 Stand users are attracted to each other!
As someone who has watched all five parts of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, I have countless speculations about Stand abilities.
Of course, abilities like those of Crimson King are incomprehensible and hard to guess; I really don't know how the boss tested them.
Chang Yan manipulated his own avatar to punch the only intact tree nearby, even through the air.
When we tested the Stand's physical strength before, all the surrounding trees were broken, except for this one.
Punch.
"crunch-"
The tree was snapped in two by a punch delivered from a distance.
Haha, as expected, the ability of the illusory mist is not a distance barrier, but a spatial compression!
Currently, it can only compress two-dimensional space to achieve things like retrieving objects from a distance, hitting people from a distance, creating distance barriers, and shrinking the earth to an inch.
But enough is enough.
The Stand's power level has already met Chang Yan's expectations.
Stand Name: Illusory Mist
Stand User: Common Saying
First ability: Space compression
Second Ability: Endless Carnage - Illusory Space
(I won't go into the specifics of its destructive power; that kind of stuff was already covered up by Araki.)
Although I've said it once before, I'll say it again—
I'm an emperor, as I always say! Nothing can stop me now!
Wryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Satisfied, Chang Yan headed towards the bustling city center, intending to have a big meal at the food street.
------
My name is Tang Yun, and I'm a homebody who transmigrates.
Originally, I was cosplaying Jotaro Kujo, the protagonist of Part 3 of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure," at a comic convention. He's also known as Jotaro Kujo.
When I accepted a girl's invitation to take a photo together, a man suddenly appeared out of nowhere, shouting, "XXX, die!" Then he pulled out a knife and stabbed me several times. It hurt terribly.
"What are you doing! He's not XXX! I'm a perfect match with this cosplayer! Call 120, quick!"
The girl next to her shouted in alarm and then dialed 120.
"What? I stabbed the wrong person?"
The man who stabbed me also shouted in a panic, and was then pinned to the ground by security guards.
You're probably not a StarCraft player.
And so, after leaving my final rant, I died, then I time-traveled, and then I got a cheat code.
And so, I followed in the footsteps of many of my predecessors who had transmigrated, becoming a glorious plagiarist.
After I wrote JOJO, I had a Stand.
This is the power of my cheat code; every time my work reaches a certain level of popularity, it randomly creates a stand-in for me.
So far, I only have 3 stand-ins, namely—
Star Platinum (Close-range power type, possessing high-precision movements and super speed, with overwhelming destructive power compared to ordinary Stands. It has currently awakened the ability to stop time, with a maximum duration of 2 seconds.)
Sun (A stand-in shaped like the sun that attacks opponents with intense heat and light waves)
Soft machine (humanoid, capable of puncturing a target with a needle, flattening it like a deflated balloon, and moving within the flattened space)
This time, the school organized a study trip. Originally, only students from our school were coming here, but it is said that due to some unforeseen circumstances, students from other schools will also be coming.
On this night, having nothing to do, I decided to go to the food street for some barbecue. So, I used my substitute's power to sneak out.
Then, it turns out that the statement "Stand users are attracted to each other" is absolutely true... what a load of rubbish!
Why do people here have stand-ins? Why did I show my stand-in to this person?
Tang Yun looked at Chang Yan in front of him with a heart full of ripples, as well as the illusory mist behind him, and then looked miserably at the Platinum Star behind him.
Just now, he saw a humanoid figure appear on Chang Yan's body, and then he instinctively activated the Platinum Star. Now, things have become incredibly awkward.
Stand users are attracted to each other... It seems that's really true, but I only awakened my Stand a few hours ago, how come I've already run into one? Also, how did this guy's Stand awaken? There aren't any arrows like in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure here.
But this guy's Stand is Star Platinum, could it be... a system host like mine?
(System, take a look at this guy, is he the system host?)
(Detection in progress... Detection complete. He is a partial system host. This system is his substitute. Its main ability is to convert "popularity" into special abilities, which are then used to convert into mental power to construct the so-called "substitute.")
(So, System, what benefits will you and I gain from killing him?)
As the saying goes, the first reaction upon hearing the system's explanation is to think about what benefits would come from eliminating this person.
Although he had already guessed that the guy in front of him was the plagiarist of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" in this world, that did not stop him from killing him for profit.
(There are currently no benefits to this)
......
But it's unbelievable that the stand-in is actually the author.
Forget it, I'll be a good person once in a while.
"Stand users are attracted to each other, that's definitely true. But looking at your Stand... As expected of the author of JOJO, you do have a Stand. I always thought I was the only one with one."
Seeing that my Stand is Jotaro Kujo's Stand, Star Platinum, you think I'm the author of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure? Too bad I'm just a plagiarist; my real Stand hasn't awakened yet.
Clearly, Tang Yun has not yet realized that his system is his own substitute.
"It's unbelievable. There really are other Stand users in this world besides me... Shall we have a meal together?"
Tang Yun feigned shock, then extended a very warm invitation.
Perhaps we can glean a method for obtaining an awakened Stand from this person.
"Extremely happy."
As the saying goes, he replied with a smile.
If a sucker is treating you to a meal, you might as well eat it.
After a friendly conversation, the two exchanged contact information and left in a pleasant atmosphere.
During the conversation, Tang Yun didn't directly ask Chang Yan what his Stand ability was, but only how he awakened it. Chang Yan simply replied:
"You suddenly awakened while experiencing some dangerous things, so what about you?"
Tang Yun simply shrugged helplessly.
"It appeared after I slept, I don't know how it happened."
The two looked at each other, then laughed and started eating oden.
It seems they're all people with secrets.
Chapter 241: Two missions triggered at once?
(This book suddenly went on sale sometime ago, but why hasn't my collection changed at all...?)
--------
A few days after returning to school, the system suddenly issued a new task.
(Triggering quest - The End of the Night King)
As a former member of the "Seventh Abyss" of the Underworld, now a man seeking death, he instigated a massive war between three major forces—Veil (the Land of Magical Girls), Megalo (the Underworld), and the Vampire Ninjas (the present world)—in order to truly "kill" Eucliwood. This caused severe destruction, and his intention was to provoke Eucliwood. However, his true purpose was simply to make Eucliwood reclaim the lost emotion of "anger."
(Mission objective: Make Eucliwood use Word of Power to destroy the Night King)
(Quest Reward: 1 Wonder Summon Attempt)
The Night King, a former friend of Eucliwood, felt his entire life had lost its meaning after Eucliwood turned him into an immortal zombie.
Simply put, he felt he had lived too long or experienced too much, so he decided to die. However, Yu's ability to create zombies was too powerful, and he couldn't die no matter what he did. Throwing him into places like the sun would only subject him to endless torture. So, he planned to kill everyone around Yu recently, anger her, and then make her shout "Go die" to him.
Overall, this guy was only trying to help Yu regain her feelings, and the other members of "Seventh Abyss" were also working hard to help Yu regain her feelings, although their efforts seemed a bit excessive.
The so-called Seventh Abyss was formed by a team of seven of the strongest people in the Underworld to protect it.
But, they're here so soon? I remember Yu was missing for several months. When I watched this part of the anime, I thought Ayumu Aikawa had been cuckolded by the Night King.
It's impossible not to misunderstand like this. The words written by the Night King, coupled with Yu's various actions and the fact that Yu didn't grab Aikawa Ayumu's outstretched hand later, made it super easy for people to misunderstand!
But where is the story at now?
Let's go check it out, but before that, haven't my mana crystals been full for quite a few days already?
(The long-forgotten Hearthstone system silently shed tears of emotion.)
So this time, it's you I choose—come forth, Midnight Nightmare!
(Consumes 4 mana crystals)
The nightmare dragon, born from a nightmare, let out an excited roar and then respectfully bowed its head before Chang Yan.
As expected of a dragon belonging to an ancient god, its unusual body is indeed terrifying, even to the point of causing mental pollution.
This time, I'm going to be a real dragon "knight," not just a dragon "rider"!
After performing a miraculous technique similar to "Idle People Retreat" on the Midnight Nightmare Dragon, Chang Yan happily stepped onto it. The Midnight Nightmare Dragon instantly soared into the air, traversing the clouds.
The clouds were right next to him, almost within reach, and the sudden drop in temperature and the oncoming wind pressure gave Chang Yan a unique feeling.
This feeling is surprisingly not bad.
Comfortable and carefree.
Standing atop the terrifying dragon, soaring freely through the vast sea of clouds, the high-speed wind pressure blowing against him made his clothes rustle loudly, a wind speed that made him feel incredibly comfortable.
The ethereal clouds, like a light veil or a thin mist, resemble blooming white lotuses under the clear sunlight. The feeling of looking up at the clouds from the ground is ultimately not as good as the feeling of walking with the clouds in the sky.
Flight, a dream of humankind since ancient times.
Even though we have airplanes and hang gliders, wouldn't it be even better to fly freely in the air without any constraints?
I wish I had a Coke.
