The will of a world and a beast

-What?

[World rejection is entering the first phase.]

The clones looked around startled.

-Don't get distracted! Let's start!

-Be careful!

The clone touched my skin and a small droplet of blood seeped into it.

Hundreds of images, sounds and smells were passed into my head in an instant.

I used my mind power in overdrive but even so…

IT HURT A LOT!

After a few minutes the first clone was done, all the while wind, lighting and rain hit the clocktower.

-Harf, harf…

I made it. There is still a lot of information to absorb…

/BANG! BANG! BANG!/

Three consecutive lightning bolts crashed from the sky. flames ignited at the top of the clock tower, but for some reason they weren't doused by the rain.

-NEXT!

Two clones, 5 clones… 9 clones. My head was almost bursting.

[Danger! Continuing with this may cause damage to the spirit]

What? I said while my head buzzed.

-Is it finally happening?

-We already prepared for that! The clone took out a special fluid from his pocket.

-Drink this. It's going to alleviate the pain and make the information settle faster in your brain.

-Just say that from the beginning.

I drank the strange orange juice. It wasn't pleasant. Tasted like salty water.

…

This process was repeated several times until all of the clones had been fused back into my body.

-My head… I said while rubbing the side of my head.

/Crack!/

My world started to tilt. It wasn't nausea or anything like that, it was the clocktower falling to the side.

-Shit!

I jumped from the clocktower only to be almost hit by a lightning bolt.

-This is getting ridiculous.

/Crunch!/

A crack formed on the ground and almost engulfed me. A terrible smell came from it. It probably connected to the sweers…

-Damn…

My head! The world is spinning… I need to settle somewhere.

I entered a house and started to calm down.

-Okay. I have the mask, the arrows, information and some other stuff.

-And by the clones' memories, they have achieved immense political control over many corporations around the world in order to gather materials.

-First the arrows!

I need to gain some energy back. This is my main focus after all.

As for using the arrow…

It would be too expensive to bring a Stand all around.

Ok, they might be strong but that is only a if.

For what I know I might gain something more disadvantageous than useful.

And bringing one with me is useless as well, since they would lose their power later.

-Absorb it all.

[Performing action… Absorbing 8 arrows will result in… Converting to basic universal currency… 20000 Units.]

...That's a lot… Less than what I gained in the previous world, but this comes from only a handful of objects. I greatly wonder what was that meteorite that fell on the world.

Okay, the arrows are out of the way. Lets see the other things I have from previous missions…

This ticket. Something from many years ago. I finally have a use for it.

[Level 1 power ticket]

This ticket can supposedly pay for one of my abilities forever, as long as the price does not surpass its maximum threshold.

But what is considered as a power?

[All of the user's current powers ,with the exception of the clones, are connected with his physical body.]

(Meaning, if he loses his body. He won't be able to use the abilities unless he pays for a power transfer between bodies. It's much easier to just have his body rebuilt from a drop of blood though.)

So I should use it on my body?

…

No response?

Sigh… I guess it's not programmed to give me such deep tips.

Alright. Use it!

The ticket burned with a dark flame before turning into sparks.

[From now on, the host does not need to pay for the ability numbered...]

Just jump to their names…

[Tyrant physique… Warning! External influence has activated the will within the bloodline! Initiating fusing process...]

(Basically, he uses the power ticket that pays for his body. Which is the Tyrant physique. But that awakens the will inside of it due to the outside stimuli.

It's more like the will of the species itself.)

What about Hamon and all of this?! Wait. The what?

[Processing...The bloodline does not tolerate "impurities". Due to the properties of the special ability, and due to the influence of the ticket. All abilities with the exception of the clones shall fuse into the "Tyrant physique" ability.

(Since the clones are more of a spiritual ability. Hamon is an energy, but it's within the jurisdiction of "physical" powers.)

As in adend number… This process was caused due to a lack of attention from the Nexus side, we offer our sincere apologies and we shall make sure the process does not affect the user negatively.] A more feminine voice came from the Nexus key this time.

… Okay then…

I hope that...

But it was then that immense pain overcame my body.

-ARG! I did my best to keep quiet. But the pain was beyond anything I ever felt before.

/BANG!/

A massive thunderclap reverberated in the room, during this process. Muffling my scream.

[Stage two of world rejection incoming.] Said the mechanical voice of the nexus key.

I breathed heavily while the house trembled and creaked.

[Fusion ended. A new power has been created under the fusion of the abilities. Would you like to name it?]

-Arf… Arf…

I breathed heavily after experiencing such a traumatic experience.

My muscles spammed and trembled due to the changes.

/Inhale/

I breathed normally just like any other time. But this time something happened.

/Sizzle/

The water and blood on the ground immediately vaporized, even the stone on the ground became red.

-What… Happened? I said with difficulty.

[Host's body has finished its transformation. The Nexus would like to once again ask for forgiveness due its interference in the transformation. Hence we are giving you something as an apology…]

[A small text has been received... Opening it automatically.]

[Hello User #232… Here is the manager of sector #786…

End of the information.

We hope that with this, your development may reach even higher standards! If you are unsatisfied or if… Please enter in contact through our associated number.]

[End of message.] Said the mechanical voice.

-... Fuck.

I feel as if I slept over broken glass.

With this, I finished my more urgent tasks.

/Tremble/

!

I quickly left the house and it collapsed the moment I stepped outside

… Shit… Can you calm down a little, I at least want to say goodbye to my friends.

I had an idea.

A small drop of blood left my finger and a clone was formed.

-From now on, you are John. You shall live my life in my place in this world. You can take control of its policies or continue our research. Whatever you find interesting. Just continue to help my friends and train. Good luck.

And with this I left running towards the shadows.

The clone soon left towards the place where Dio and the crusaders were fighting.

I did this for two reasons.

One was simply to help my friends, the other was to keep someone behind to continue the clones efforts and gather more arrows/items containing source power.

As for why I didn't leave a clone in the last few worlds…

I haven't really thought of this aspect of my ability yet. Leaving clones behind to research and collect possible energy sources…

The possibilities are great.

I ran towards a nearby store to recover some energy while my clone met with the Crusaders…
