Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

"Za Valudo!"

He roared like a trapped beast, his extreme unease turning into rage. He even disregarded his condition of having only one head left and manipulated "the world" to attack Xia Yan!

The humanoid stand-in, resembling a diver, swung its fist, which was as big as a sandbag.

However, the base stats of "Stairway to Heaven" are comparable to those of "Platinum Star".

At this moment, Dio was too weak, which further reduced the attribute of "The World", making this punch completely ineffective. Instead, it was like a boxing dummy practice, and "Stairway to Heaven" grabbed it in one go.

The next second, "Stairway to Heaven's" fist pierced through "The World's" chest.

However, no blood was left at the wound site. Instead, golden light powder continuously emanated from it, drifting towards the "Stairway to Heaven" and merging with it.

Even though Dio's Stand "The World" was pierced through the chest again, he didn't feel any pain this time. Instead, he felt a sense of detachment!

He could clearly feel that his stand-in was leaving him!

This guy is stealing my Stand!?

Dior's pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinholes.

"You bastard! Toujou Natsuhiko! What on earth did you do!?"

"My substitute, my 'world' is leaving me!?"

"stop--!"

At this moment, Dior panicked completely.

"Stop! Dongcheng! You've been using Ripple to slow down your aging, which proves you don't really want to die! Reconsider, I'll grant you immortality too! Then you can live forever! Dongcheng!"

However, Xia Yan ignored whatever Dio said.

Are you kidding me? Do I need your help?

Its jet-black wings unfurled, and countless feathers drifted down, transforming into arrows that pierced through the "world's" body, leaving countless holes.

The world was instantly transformed into honeycomb briquettes in 850 seconds.

These holes, like cracks in a dam, were spewing out gold dust at an alarming rate.

The form of "the world" is becoming increasingly illusory and dim.

The next second, it couldn't even maintain its human form and shattered completely, turning into dust that shimmered with golden light and all of it merged into the body of "Stairway to Heaven".

Dio's head lost its support and fell to the ground.

However, his eyes had lost their former unruly gleam, and he looked like a middle-aged office worker facing an unemployment crisis.

"It's about to begin..."

"The Last Tarot Card..."

""world"……"

Avdol, Kakyoin, and Polnareff, who had been playing passively the entire game, looked excitedly at Xia Yan's location.

They were also looking forward to seeing how Xia Yan's stand-in would change after collecting all the tarot cards.

After absorbing all the light and mist transformed from the "world," Xia Yan felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.

It's like a giant jigsaw puzzle that's been in the works for a whole month, and now the last missing piece is finally in place, making it complete.

In that instant, Xia Yan felt a spiritual elevation.

"The first necessary condition is my Stand—'Stairway to Heaven'."

As if struck by a sudden inspiration, Xia Yan uttered these words in a low voice.

"The evolution of my Stand is the only way for humanity to overcome and change its destiny!"

Dio, who had already given up struggling, suddenly widened his eyes upon hearing these words and looked at Xia Yan in disbelief.

At the same time, the "Stairway to Heaven," which had been standing still after absorbing all the light mist, suddenly reacted.

He lowered his head, looked at his palms, then looked back at his wings, and then began to look around.

Like a newborn baby just opening its eyes, it curiously observes the world.

"The second necessary condition is a heinous enemy."

"He must be a heinous villain who plots to conquer the world, and the one who inspired me to want to change my destiny! That is to say—Dio!"

Xia Yan's gaze fell on Dio's head lying on the ground.

"What are you talking about?! What exactly do you want to do?!"

Although he asked the question aloud, Dio already had a vague idea in his mind.

However, this was a conjecture that he did not want to see.

"The third necessary condition is to come into contact with and acquire the ability to use the twenty-two substitutes that are symbolized by Tarot cards."

"Because the twenty-two tarot cards symbolize the twenty-two paths of the Kabbalah ritual."

Ignoring Dio's question, Xia Yan walked straight toward the "Stairway to Heaven," which was still observing everything around it.

"The next necessary condition is eleven secret codes."

He was still muttering those eleven secret phrases to himself.

"Kingdom," "Foundation," "Glory," "Victory," "Beauty," "Severity," "Benevolence," "Knowledge," "Understanding," "Wisdom," "Crown."

"These are the eleven points that exist on the Kabbalah Tree of Life."

As Xia Yan uttered these eleven secret words, the "Stairway to Heaven" stopped curiously observing its surroundings and instead focused its gaze on Xia Yan.

She took the initiative to come and greet him.

"The next necessary condition is courage; I must have the courage to temporarily abandon my Stand."

"Once my gradually evolving Stand acquires twenty-two powers, a new life will be born, requiring a response to eleven secret codes to merge it with me."

Finally, Xia Yan encountered the "Stairway to Heaven".

The moment the two made contact, the "Stairway to Heaven" suddenly exploded, turning into a liquid that enveloped Xia Yan.

From a distance, it looked as if Xia Yan was wrapped in a tight-fitting latex suit without any gaps.

"Could it be...could it be that you are...?"

"...Your goal, is it to go to heaven?!"

Upon seeing this, Dio glared angrily and roared.

He was now completely certain of what Xia Yan was doing.

Without a doubt, the other party's goal is the same as mine—

—Ascend to heaven!

His long-planned scheme, which he had been thinking about and preparing for for many years, has now not only failed, but he also has to watch his enemy accomplish what he had always dreamed of.

This feeling is even worse than killing Dio.

Meanwhile, Jotaro and the others looked at Natsuhiko, who was enveloped by a Stand, with worried expressions.

Although they had been informed by Xia Yan in advance that there might be some changes after collecting all twenty-two Stand powers with Tarot card symbols, they were somewhat prepared.

However, since Xia Yan himself didn't know exactly what would happen, he naturally couldn't tell them.

The scene before us clearly had a somewhat eerie feel to it.

It's as if evil alien creatures invaded Earth and swallowed humanity whole.

If they hadn't witnessed the changes in Xia Yan's Stand with their own eyes, and hadn't seen that the dark humanoid creature was actually Xia Yan wrapped in the Stand, they would have realized that the changes were far more significant.

They're probably preparing to launch an attack now.

However, their concerns did not last long.

"It seems like it's already over!?"

Jotaro kept his Byakugan active, observing Natsuhiko's situation.

While keeping an eye on Dio's head and Areci in the car, he was the first to notice something amiss.

Joseph and the others also became more attentive after hearing this.

The mud-like gelatinous substance that had been covering Xia Yan seemed to be absorbed, gradually seeping away and revealing Xia Yan's naked body.

Those bodies, so perfect they resembled Greek sculptures, were irresistible to both young women and wives.

However, there were no members of the opposite sex in the group, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

Xia Yan was also curious about the changes in his body.

At the very moment he had this idea.

A full-length mirror suddenly appeared on the ground. !?

Does this mean I've already gained new abilities before even completing the final step?!

May all your wishes come true?

Creation of the void?

Seeing this, Xia Yan was overjoyed.

But he quickly realized that this was not a new ability.

Rather, it is merely a projection of the desire for "judgment".

However, even though the Stand has disappeared, can one still use its abilities...?

No.

The substitute didn't disappear; it should have merged with my body.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan looked at himself in the mirror.

Since he was now completely naked, everything was on full display.

Overall, there haven't been any major changes.
