"I'm just a little bit special."
Cage instinctively made a humble gesture in response to Joseph's admiration.
"You're more than just 'special', I can tell."
Joseph looked at Cage with a meaningful gaze and then turned his attention back to the struggling undead in his hand. "Of course, it's still difficult to kill a corpse using that method alone."
As he spoke, Joseph raised his palm and exclaimed, "Ripple!"
His palm fell on the undead in front of him, and Cage felt a strange energy emanating from Joseph's body that entered the body of the undead in his hand. Then, he saw the movements of the struggling undead instantly freeze, and white smoke rose from its body as it turned into charcoal.

"The weakness of the undead is as obvious as that of a vampire -- they fear sunlight and the power of the Ripple."
Joseph Joestar explained as he withdrew his hand.
The Ripple was a strange ability in "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure" that had a destructive effect similar to sunlight and could cause devastating damage to vampires.
At this moment, Joseph was using Ripple, which came from Ultimate Lifeform, Kars. As the Ultimate Lifeform, Kars could control the cells in his body at will, so he could easily learn the Ripple.
Releasing his grip on the hand that was holding the undead, Cage watched as the charred remains crumbled into pieces. Smelling the burnt smell that filled his nose, he forced himself to calm down.
The scene before him was quite shocking for this vigilante, whether it was a zombie or a vampire hunter. Just a moment ago, he was thinking about tasting authentic Chinese food prepared by Mrs. Connie, but now he had lost his appetite.
"Why would an undead appear in Harlem?"
As a vigilante, Cage's activities weren't very extensive, but it was precisely because of that that he knew Harlem very well. He was very clear that until today, he had never heard of undead creatures or a vampire in Harlem.
"The appearance of a revived corpse only represents one thing."
Cage's question just fit Joseph's purpose, and he immediately answered, "That is, vampires have appeared in New York. In fact, that's why I came to New York in the first place. To catch the legendary vampire king, Dio. I got a lead in Norway, and his servant had appeared in New York."
"The vampire king?"
Joseph's words deepened Luke Cage's worries.
"If everything you said is true, I won't be able to deal with these vampires alone. We need to call the Defenders."
"The Defenders?"
Upon hearing Cage's response, Joseph's face made a perplexed expression.
"Who's that?"
Luke Cage replied, "It's a group of heroes."
.....
"How is it going?"
In Hell's Kitchen, Fisk Building.
Hiding his massive body in the shadows, Kingpin found that even after being transformed into a vampire, he could see everything clearly, even in pitch-black darkness.
Darkness was no longer an obstacle for him but his best cover.
"We've successfully transformed a vast majority of people into undead."
In front of Kingpin, a subordinate with sharp teeth lowered his head and gave him an answer.
After using the power of the [Stone Mask] to transform himself into a vampire, Kingpin didn't hesitate to infect his subordinates and command them to use their abilities to continuously infect others, quickly forming an army of undead. Now, this fearless army of undead filled the building, becoming his most terrifying weapon.
"Order all the infected undead to wear masks and protective clothing."
As a vampire, Kingpin was well aware of his weaknesses. The [Stone Mask] gave him powers and immortal life, but the price was that he could no longer walk under the sun.
Fortunately, this wasn't a big problem. During World War II, Red Skull was able to find a solution.
In this era, even more so.
"From today on, we will control the nights in New York."
"Yes, Kingpin."
Without hesitation, the subordinate lowered his head and answered. As a vampire infected by Kingpin, he completely obeyed his commands. Even if Kingpin asked him to jump off the roof right now, he would do so without hesitation.
"Speed up the infection process."
Lighting his cigar, flashes of fire flickered in the shadows as Kingpin continued to issue his orders, "Once everyone is infected, it will be time for us to attack."
Shaking off the ashes from his cigar, Kingpin grinned, revealing his sharp teeth. His red eyes flashed with hatred, "We'll destroy the Defenders first."
.....
"Wait, wait. Is this real ...?"

The Defenders gathered in Matt's office.
After listening to everything Luke Cage had said and turning to look at the weathered Joseph Joestar beside him, Jessica shook her head and tried to digest the news he brought.
"Or maybe you're gonna suddenly say this is all a joke?"
Jessica asked, to which Cage shrugged and replied with a bitter smile, "I wish it were, but obviously, it's not."
Cage's answer extinguished the last glimmer of hope in Jessica's heart. She muttered to herself and felt a headache coming on.
"Damn it, what's happened to this world? Aliens, vampires... I miss the old, ordinary and plain world. Although it was just as annoying, at least it didn't feel like a circus show every day, one surprise after another."
