Chapter 18 Wishes Come True
Chapter 18 Wishes Come True
The priest gushed blood, but the blood didn't come from his open palms; it came from his mouth. Conversely, his right hand was only pierced, but no blood flowed, as if the screw was just a harmless prop.
The boy must have been the one who made the move, but Chen Miaowen couldn't see clearly how he did it. When he turned around, he saw that the priest was injured, and the sudden appearance of such a large screw also puzzled him.
"Am I Satan? What should I do? Father, should I beg Jesus for help, or should I rebel against Satan as one of Jesus' baptists?"
"Ouch...it hurts so much, it hurts so much!"
The priest was overwhelmed by excruciating pain, and his gentle demeanor had long since vanished; he could barely speak clearly.
He was just an ordinary person after all. As for the idea of Jesus descending upon him to judge the boy in front of him, that was simply impossible.
"Look at this, what use is Jesus? He's not even willing to help you! Satan is right in front of you, why doesn't he come to judge me?"
The boy turned to look at Chen Miaowen, his blue eyes sparkling, and laughed as he looked at the red-haired man.
"This person being baptized, what is your opinion on whether Satan is good or bad?"
"I can't be sure, but I do know that if we let this priest go, he might convert to Satan!"
When Chen Miaowen spoke to the priest, his voice trembled, but he did not appear overly flustered, nor did he appear overly calm.
Like an ordinary passerby, filled with fear yet upholding human kindness, praying to Satan to spare humanity.
He was acting, of course. He didn't want to get involved in troublesome matters and couldn't let the boy notice anything unusual or feel threatened.
Similarly, one should not feign excessive panic, otherwise, like the priest, one might incite the boy's violent nature, forcing him to clash with him.
Therefore, he believed that this was the only way to respond.
Moreover, he still can't understand the boy's attack method. He is most likely a Stand user, but Stands have never appeared before.
Unless it's that giant screw.
"Um, may I ask your name?"
"Tobio".
"Then, Dobio, I refuse."
The boy stood up, waved his hand, and out of thin air, a giant screw appeared and pinned the priest's other hand to the ground. Then, an invisible force suddenly lifted the floorboards that held the hands pinned to the ground, and dozens of stone bricks formed a cross shape without any chance. The cross then slowly stood up with the force, standing like a soldier in the center of the church.
Just like the Jesus sculpture at the very back, the priest was also nailed to a blood-red cross, seemingly recreating the death of Jesus.
However, he was not dead yet; he had simply lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss.
"What is your purpose in speaking up for the priest?"
The blond, blue-eyed child stared intently at Chen Miaowen, making him feel somewhat intimidated.
"I am an ordinary citizen from Naples. I came here to repent for the sins I committed more than ten years ago. At that time, I worshipped Satan. But now, I have decided to turn over a new leaf and become a good person, so I don't want anyone to die in front of me anymore."
Chen Miaowen lied without changing his expression, and his voice was unusually emotional, making it impossible for anyone to doubt him.
"You're such a good person, but I'm Satan... so you know that."
Upon hearing this, Chen Miaowen turned around to run away, but the door suddenly closed tightly and he couldn't open it no matter what he did.
"Are you going to kill me? Like a priest, like Jesus?"
"There's no way around it, because you saw everything I did. If you were blind, perhaps I would have let you go!"
Chen Miaowen was still caught up in trouble. There was no doubt that the boy was a Stand user, but the Stand didn't seem to activate in either of his two attacks. He didn't know how to deal with it.
"Could it be yet another enemy of a Stand user?"
"King Crimson!"
So when in doubt, use a stand-in to solve the problem.
In the world of Shi Shan, the first thing he thought of was to escape.
"The window over there is still open. Let's go out that way first, observe the situation, and then decide whether to deal with him."
He left the church, thinking he was safe for the time being, but when he looked up, he saw the divine ceiling inside the church.
"What do you mean?"
If it weren't for the priest nailed to the cross and the blond boy beside him remaining motionless, Chen Miaowen would have begun to doubt whether he was dreaming.
"That's impossible! I clearly left the church, that's a fact!"
He didn't want to believe that the boy was behind it. He activated his Stand ability without any warning and it could even affect the static world. How troublesome and terrifying must that be?
So only one word was on his mind: escape.
So he left through each window again and again within the limited time, but as expected, he returned to the church.
As time passed, he stood there dumbfounded.
"Oh, why aren't you moving in this situation? Weren't you trying to escape? The front door is blocked, but the windows are still open!"
The boy stroked his golden bangs, indicating that he was somewhat bored.
"I gave the church an order that no one is allowed to leave, but... why aren't you willing to try? Why are you even standing still? Could it be that you've already tried?"
This is bad, very bad.
Chen Miaowen hadn't expected that a boy of only about ten years old could be so meticulous in his thinking. The church also had a large clock, and the clever boy would probably get information about Chen Miaowen soon, and the secret of his Stand would be completely exposed. At that time, Chen Miaowen might not even be able to analyze the surface power of the enemy's Stand, and he would be defeated without knowing why.
"You've given up? My abilities are ridiculously overpowered, aren't they? Haha... I've named it 'Wish Fulfillment.' As long as I give the order, the world will accept it. Whether I wish for a meteorite to fall from the sky or for unlimited wealth to appear before my eyes, it will come true. Haha... Thinking about it that way, you really can't escape. Giving up is probably the right choice. Maybe I won't take your life. Just beating you into a pig's head, turning you into a vegetable, and having you spend half your life in the hospital would be enough for me."
The boy seemed to have unleashed his abilities, resolving a major source of confusion for Chen Miaowen.
However, the situation will not improve. If such a supernatural alter ego truly exists, no one can fight against it, because it is simply too outrageous and too invincible.
All the causal stand-ins, including Huang Zhen, would be powerless to fight, let alone the fact that he could only erase a little time and predict part of the future.
"What kind of overpowered thing is this? How am I supposed to play?"
He started complaining about the world for no apparent reason, complaining about Araki, and complaining that such an unbalanced existence still existed in the JOJO universe he had created. (I respect Araki-sensei, and secondly, this is fan fiction, so there may be deviations from the original work. These seemingly unbalanced Stands do not exist in Araki-sensei's JOJO universe. I wrote this just for fun and there is no other meaning.)
Since he encountered two Stand users, his strength and stats are estimated to be much higher than many of the Stands created by Araki.
If what Yedan said is true, then even if there is a price to pay, his Stand is equivalent to surpassing everything. If you have to say, it's no different from the world surpassing heaven.
"No, it can't be true. If someone had that kind of power, why would they be praying in this tiny church? They would have already ruled the world!"
He still refused to believe it.
