At this moment, Valentine appeared in front of Lucian; after all, the Saint’s Corpse was currently on Lucian.
Someone like Mountain Tim was not important to him.
More Valentines kept appearing from the gap between two objects, and bullets were still raining down densely.
Lucian used his metal skin to block the damage from the bullets, yet the mere impact of the bullets caused Lucian great harm.
Lucian tried to give himself the fluidity of mercury to let the bullets pass through his body.
Unfortunately, with his current strength, he was still unable to do this; the growth of a Stand requires constant development.
Perhaps after obtaining the stand arrow in the future, he would evolve such an ability.
Heartsteel flew toward the nearest Valentine and punched through his body.
But the other Valentines did not even frown, and they continued to fire their guns.
Two bullets happened to collide beside Lucian, and they immediately annihilated each other.
A powerful force knocked Lucian to the ground, but fortunately, Lucian was incredibly tough now.
Falling to the ground did not cause any further damage.
D4C flew directly toward Lucian; although D4C did not make many moves in the manga, it actually had A-rank power and speed.
As soon as Heartsteel clashed fists with it, the gap in their attributes was immediately apparent.
Although the gap in speed between the two Stands was not large, Heartsteel still had a significant gap in strength compared to Valentine’s D4C.
D4C suppressed Lucian’s Stand, Heartsteel.
If this stalemate continued, defeat would be the inevitable outcome.
In another world, Mountain Tim, who was on the side, saw Lucian suddenly disappear from his side and immediately started firing his gun at Valentine.
He did not know what had happened to his companion, but he figured that his fate had ended here.
Perhaps his own end was here as well.
That Easterner, who had gone to such lengths to avoid fate, had actually died here before him.
How pathetic!
The remaining Valentines fired at Mountain Tim in unison, and the lethal bullets were dodged by Mountain Tim by separating his body.
However, some of the less lethal bullets still successfully hit him.
“You are the nation’s sheriff, why do you resist my will?
You must know that my will is the will of the nation.
I will bring happiness to this country. Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
And you are currently standing in the way of this country’s path to happiness.
Put down your gun and pledge your loyalty to me; there will be a place for you in the future of this happy nation.”
Funny Valentine asked Mountain Tim; at this moment, he held the winning hand.
So he was qualified to say such things now.
Mountain Tim’s only response to him was a bullet.
Only after emptying the bullets in his hand did he speak slowly:
“I cannot see how your actions are for the sake of this country; in this country, everyone is free.
Even you, Valentine, cannot arbitrarily decide the fate of others.” Of course, Lucy Steel was also a major reason for Mountain Tim.
Funny Valentine let out a scornful laugh: “Heh heh heh, a person like you has no patriotism at all.
A lowly person like you cannot understand the great mission of patriotism.”
He now had no room for mercy for this person who lacked patriotism.
D4C is unique, so in the base world, Valentines were suppressing Mountain Tim with bullets.
Mountain Tim was using his Stand ability to dismantle the remaining Valentines one by one.
Valentines did not fear death.
This was a necessary step to bring happiness to the country.
More bullets severely wounded Mountain Tim; his ability was still too weak.
In the parallel world, the suppressed Lucian felt that things could not go on like this.
With the Stand’s A-rank stats against him, his defeat was inevitable.
So now he had to find a way to change this situation.
Lucian suddenly shouted at Valentine: “You should be able to see that I am not from this world, so I have a way to leave.
Do not force me to take a part of the Saint’s Corpse and leave this world.
That world is not a parallel world; once you lose a part of the Saint’s Corpse, you will never be able to get it back.”
As soon as these words were spoken, D4C indeed stopped its movements.
At this moment, a Funny Valentine walked out from the shadows.
Seeing D4C stop, Lucian first caught his breath, then proposed a deal to Funny Valentine:
“I don’t necessarily need the Saint’s Corpse; what I have always pursued is just power.
This world seems to be fighting over a diamond.
If you give me the diamond, I will hand the Saint’s spine over to you.” Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
This world seemed to be fighting over a diamond with magical powers.
The Saint’s Corpse is unique, but the diamond is not, so there was a possibility for the diamond to be taken away by Lucian.
Johnny in the parallel world was just winning effortlessly.
Actually, just as Funny Valentine himself said, the Saint’s Corpse liked him, Funny Valentine, so it was inevitable that the Saint’s Corpse would fall into his hands.
Because in this story, only he possessed the belief of [selflessness].
He did not even care about his own life.
Johnny had also possessed the Saint’s Corpse later on, but at that time, the effect exerted by the Saint’s Corpse was not as powerful as when it was in Funny Valentine’s hands.
Fate mocked him in the end, while Johnny displayed his Golden Spirit in the end.
Because by that time, fate already needed him to exit the stage.
Funny Valentine stared at Lucian and began to ponder the various pieces of information in his words; could there be worlds he didn’t know about?
And where did this Easterner in front of him come from?
Seeing Funny Valentine’s expression fall into hesitation, Lucian immediately kept speaking:
“I am not a person from this world; since you have traveled through so many parallel worlds, you should be able to understand that the world barriers are sometimes not that stable.
I will not threaten your country.
I am bound to leave.”
“As long as I kill you before you leave, I can still get the Saint’s Corpse.” Funny Valentine said with an unchanging expression.
“You won’t gamble; you don’t know how I will leave.
If the Saint’s Corpse is missing the Saint’s spine, I’m afraid your country will never have the chance to obtain happiness.” Lucian kept bluffing.
Funny Valentine indeed would not gamble on whether Lucian could take the Saint’s Corpse and leave; he needed to ensure he used the most foolproof method to obtain the Saint’s Corpse.
“How do you prove that you come from another world?”
Lucian thought for a moment and replied: “As long as this possibility exists, you cannot sit idly by; right now, you have the advantage.
If I deceived you, even if the diamond ended up in my hands, you could still snatch it back.”
Valentine was silent for a moment before agreeing to this suggestion, and then he said: “Cover yourself with the cloak; there is no diamond in this world.
I will take you to another world.”
The diamond was indeed not the most important thing to him; after all, he had already given up on many worlds that had diamonds.
But there was only one Saint’s Corpse.
And only the Saint’s Corpse could bring [happiness] to the country.
Lucian had guessed correctly that Funny Valentine would not allow such a risk to persist.
