《I Am an Evil Lord Yet, Why Are They Happy to Serve Under Me?》Chapter 22 : Cool Men Don’t Look Back After Creating a Mess
Advertisement
Pucci stands up and floats down from the building. "It is really hard to find you; you know that? Even after searching you across many parallel worlds, imagine my surprise after finding you in the main world, which I and my friend kept our close eyes on. And your healing power… it is not natural, isn't it?"
"What can I say? I like traveling a lot," I shrugged my shoulders. "And as for my healing power, why ask something simple?"
"Your traveling includes places beyond the border around the dimension we are staying in, correct? If not for that, there is no way we can't find you. So, you are the key for my friend to go beyond border and rule over them," he told us like he is stating the truth.
"Well, good luck trying that," I flip him a bird.
"I will be taking you to my friend," Pucci starts giving a pose. Burh, we are just talking. Why the hell are you giving a pose?
"I can't allow you to do that," Jotaro came in front of me and shield me from Pucci's sight. I hate to admit it but I am shorter than Jotaro.
"Jotaro Kujo… this is not the first time I've met you. In fact, this is the second time I've met the 1988 version of you," Pucci smiles and shrugs off the stare that Jotaro gave him.
"What are you saying, you bastard?"
"Well, what he trying to say is, he had met the other version of you and had eliminated that version of you. Isn't that right, Pucci?" I push Jotaro to the side and walk toward Pucci.
"That is correct. It was a hard battle but we were able to defeat the Joestars and the gang who came to Egypt," Pucci also walk toward me.
"You guys stay back. Aside from Jotaro, others are useless in this fight. Even Jotaro's time stopping duration will become shorter when the fake priest in front of me uses his Stand," I shouted at the others while looking back. Where is our local pianist when we needed him the most?
There is a reason why I want Giorno from this timeline instead of the one from inside the turtle. You see, Requiem Stands are assholes and the users will not be able to control them as they have their own will. Gold Experience Requiem is just less bitchy about it. For example, Giorno and his Gold Experience Requiem inside the turtle are like two new friends. They just know each other and are still trying to make sure if their friendship will work out. And for Giorno from this timeline, the relationship between him and his Stand will be like a friend you've known for a long time. I mean they have over 10 years to get to know each other.

Pucci disappeared in front of me and by the time I understand what happened, my arm had already fallen off. I quickly grabbed it and reattached it to my body. Although can regrow limbs, it will take longer than just attaching. And with Pucci using Made in Heaven, I can't dismiss that few seconds.
I steady my breathing and close my eyes. I have no ideas what the hell I am doing but I am copying those shonen MC(s) when they are fighting invisible enemies. Why the hell is the dude running around the field instead of straight-up killing me or anyone in the vicinity. Is this also Araki's thing? I'm not sure but I'll need to thank the dude if it is true.
He passed me from my side, now from the front, now from the back, and now from the side again. He just passed my body without doing anything. I pull out Never and made him punch at the place where I thought he'll be.
"ZA!"
And the hit lands right to his face. Why didn't he dodge if he can see the slow-motion of how my Stand punching? Well, it might just be some bullshit power that my Stand has. I'm not sure but I hope it does.
"To think that you would be able to punch me during my accelerated state. As expected of Urien Gregorios, someone even DIO told me to watch out for," he grabbed his chin and relocated his mouth.
Huh? Heaven attained DIO knew about me? Is that the reason why he searched for me in many different parallel worlds? Well, that answered one of the mysteries.
After that is the one side beat down from Pucci's side. My clothes are full of slash marks and I don't even remember how many times needed to heal me.
Never is in guarding motion. Time from time, our punch connects him but he gets up as nothing happened and resumes his assault. Some might ask what is Jotaro doing. Well, every time he uses Star Platinum: The World, Pucci made sure to shorten down the duration of time stopping to the maximum. So, every time Jotaro stops the time, he would get a punch on the face or a large slash on the body by Pucci. That is one of the reasons why he couldn't tell me the location of Pucci.
My stamina is going down faster now as I need to both guard the assault and locate Pucci. "You know what to do! Go further beyond and break your limit, Never!" I somehow got emotional about this and together with my emotion, Never awaken his new ability.

I used this skill and the clock from the right eye of Never made a full rotation. During these 4 seconds, I saw the places where Pucci will be attacking. And I grabbed both of his arms when I saw him coming closer. And hammer him with my head. Believe it or not, my head can still function properly after getting a full-powered bang by Tanjiro's forehead.
After hitting him with my forehead, Pucci got a little dizzy. It was then I punch him with a full barrage of punches releases from my Stand. "Za! Za! Za! Za! Za! Za!"
He was sent flying across the arena we are fighting. But he immediately gets up from there and a large amount of energy started to pour out from his body like other anomalies.
"I see. You had unlocked the new function of your Stand. But that won't help you defeat me," he cleans off the dust from his body. I hate to admit it but he is correct. Although I had unlocked the new function, I will need to break the limit another to actually be able to match his Stand's ability. I am now standing back near the gang.
At that time, we heard the sound from the side of us. When we look over, there is nothing but a road going up in heaven. For those who forgot, the place is still fucked up by gravity. Anyway, both Pucci and I stare at the place where we heard the sound of the footsteps.
After a while, we saw a golden-haired young man in his twenties walking up from the vertical road just like he is walking on the ground. Wait, why am I having Dio flashback? Now that I look at it, the way he walks is similar to the way how his father walks on the wall to follow Jonathan Joestar in the burning Joestar mansion.
"Oh Mr. Urien, I finally found you. I was held back by someone named Tamaki Damo and Yotsuyu Yagiyama. It took a little longer because I was using original Gold Experience as it is a hassle to bring out Requiem," he talks as starts walking toward my direction.
"Uncle, do you know him?" beside me, Jolyne asked while nudging me with her elbow.
"Well, yes. Not exactly him but another version of him. His name is Giorno Giovanna, a mafia boss of a gang named Passione. And he is also a son of Dio," I reply to her.
"What Dio?! Do not make fun of me, Uncle! Every child of Dio is evil!" Jolyne screamed. Well, for her who fought with other children of Dio in a deathmatch, no doubt she will think like that.
"Yes, I won't deny that. But Giorno is different. Although he has some personality of Dio such as being ambitious and cold-blooded to the enemies, he is, without doubt, a Joestar who has compassions toward the innocents and has righteousness in his heart. By the way Jolyne, he is your great-great granduncle. Don't be rude to him, okay?" I replied.
"If you say so, Uncle. But I will be watching him closely," Jolyne humphed.
"Sure, sure." I just shrugged my shoulder.
"Is this the person we are fighting, Mr. Urien? Do you have any plans?" he asked when he got beside me. The pianist is wearing the same black outfit as the one he was wearing when he became the boss of Passione. Wait, why am I calling Giorno a pianist? Well, it doesn't matter.
"Can you hold him down for about 30 seconds?" I asked.
"I think I won't be affected by his Stand if I use Requiem. So, yes," he replied.
"Great! Now, let's start Round 2," the two of us rushed toward Pucci who is eerily silent the whole time.
"Giorno, why would you rebel against your father?" Pucci asked Giorno.
"Because in my heart, I know that all of what he had done are wrong!"
"So, instead of Dio's impulse, you got Joestar's bloodline, eh?" after saying that, he disappeared from our sight.
"Gold Experience Requiem!" Giorno shouted. And with that, the way he moved also sped up. After a few seconds, I was greeted with Pucci being wrapped by vines strangely coming out from the ground.
Is this some kind of a tentacle play with a priest instead of a nun? Fuck, I might need to bleach that out of my eyes. I turn around to look at Jolyne who just tilts her head. Great! Now, bleaching is finished.
I rushed toward him and brought out something from inside my . It is a body, rather, it is a corpse. I swing the corpse toward Pucci by holding it from the legs. Fortunately, it was also the time when Giorno's vines became undone.
When the body struck Pucci, many sparks came out from both of them. "No, it can't be. This is…" Pucci screamed.
"Yes, this corpse is your corpse from this world. You know the rules of parallel worlds. When the two identical people from different parallel worlds get too close to one another, both will crumble, splitting into Menger sponges before obliteration, potentially causing an explosive reaction that may harm those close by. With this, I said goodbye, Pucci," I turn around and walk away with the explosion happening behind me.
Wait, I am standing in front of something I've destroyed, right? Then did I get into the "Cool Men Don't Look Back After Creating a Mess" club?
