173 [173] Holy Grail Restoration Completed
"If that's the case, the restoration is complete." Jubstacheit von Einzbern looked at the Great Holy Grail in front of him and said, "Next is to fill it with magical energy. As long as there's enough magical energy, the next Holy Grail War can start at any time."
"Very well, then." Barthomeloi Lorelei.
This Holy Grail War had already attracted the queen who stood at the pinnacle of the Mage's Association.
"Oh, Heroic Spirits, it's a pity. I wanted to see what kind of existences you all are. However, a Holy Grail is a Holy Grail. With that, I'll take my leave. For magus, just select seven from below when the time comes."
"I understand." Jubstacheit von Einzbern bowed, even he had to lower his head in front of this person.
Before him was the queen of the Clock Tower, the leader of the aristocratic faction dominating the entire Mage's Association, the ruler of the Department of Policies.
Although appearing somewhat young, she had fully proven her necessity and capability in this position.
In terms of status, knowledge, and methods, she was at the pinnacle within the Clock Tower.
This was evident from the countless dead apostles who fell by her hands, demonstrating her ability that equaled or even surpassed high-ranking Dead Apostles.
In every aspect.
Jubstacheit von Einzbern couldn't maintain his arrogance in front of her.
Moreover...
What surprised him the most...
The queen of the Clock Tower seemed to have developed an interest in this Holy Grail War.
Leaving aside the Fifth War, she might participate in the Sixth Holy Grail War.
If that were the case... regardless, Einzbern would undoubtedly have to give up.
With her, possibly possessing combat capabilities at the level of a Lord, coupled with Barthomeloi's support...
Regardless of Einzbern's thoughts, he would surely have to give up.
However, those were thoughts for later; for now, it was better to prepare for the next Holy Grail War.
The next one was about to begin, and also about to end.
When the magical energy in the Holy Grail exceeded half, it would be time to issue Command Spells to the Masters.
...
"Finally... it's over." Takehito Koyasu sighed as he looked at the latest issue of JUMP, witnessing the conclusion of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3's serialization.
It was said that Part 4 would follow, depicting events happening in this Morioh Town. However, that was no longer of concern to him.
The character he voiced—DIO.
Was about to truly come to an end here.
Welcoming the end of his life.
"However, based on the president's previous works, the tankobon released later should be several times more exciting than the current one. Perhaps there will be different twists..."
That's right.
Just when everyone marveled at JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3, which truly brought JoJo to its peak, and it became a sensation throughout Japan.
Unconsciously, Kazuya had entered the dream.
The world of JoJo.
The world of Stardust Crusaders.
"Humming..."
"Uh..."
Slowly opening his eyes, what greeted Kazuya was an airplane.
He was on an airplane: "I remember... I turned everything off before going to sleep... This should be the dream of the Stardust Crusaders, why is it an airplane again..."
Looking at the person next to him, his pupils slightly contracted, Abdul!
Through the window on the side, clouds could still be seen outside. As for what was below, it couldn't be discerned, whether it was land or ocean.
"Uh... this is."
Kazuya twitched his lips, also receiving information from the current body.
"Oh my god!"
Stardust Crusader—
Since it was this world, he naturally hoped to directly become a Stand user, or else he would have to join DIO, find a way to obtain the bow and arrow from him, and try to awaken his Stand.
But now?
It was terribly bad.
His current identity was—Joseph Joestar!
The weak Ripple in this body, and the prosthetic left hand, told him his current identity...
"So weak, this Ripple, hmm... not much different from when I first met him." Kazuya sighed with some emotion, the first time he met Joseph was when he was Santana.
At that time, his Ripple was too weak to break through the body surface defenses of the Pillar Men.
And now, it was at this level.
Well... Joseph probably hadn't used Ripple since defeating Kars, and with the decline in life energy due to aging, the effectiveness of Ripple had also weakened significantly.
The Ripple he increased during training to deal with the Pillar Men completely disappeared from his later life.
Really, it's true that people who hate the words "effort" and "cheer up" the most in life.
And now, it seemed like he was on a plane to Japan... in other words, at the time when Jotaro Kujo, the protagonist of Part 3, just awakened his Stand.
"What's wrong, Mr. Joestar?" Muhammad Abdul looked at Joseph Joestar, who seemed a bit off.
"No, nothing... just a bit worried." Kazuya immersed himself in the role of Joseph this time.
This time, he didn't feel rushed.
After all...
If the lottery draw went as expected, what he drew might be the Stand "Death Thirteen" this time. This Stand was indeed not bad, but since he knew what it was, it lost its allure.
Hmm... he even hoped it would be Death Thirteen.
In that case, regardless of what he did, what he drew wouldn't change, and it would be certain that he would draw Red Stone of Aja later.
But... if he didn't draw Death Thirteen this time...
It meant that he might draw anything. Naturally, it also meant there was the possibility of not drawing the Red Stone of Aja.
What he drew could be a version of himself from an alternate world, and this version of himself might not be able to do it.
Such possibilities existed.
So...
With that in mind, it's better to draw Death Thirteen. Although he also wanted a different Stand, like Star Platinum or The World—powerful Stands like those.
However, it's fine to think about those later.
Having said that, he wanted to draw again! After all, it's better to wake up and draw the items first before coming in...
