Seeing Higashikata Josuke grit his teeth, Kira Yoshikage shrugged indifferently, 'It seems that the murder of his mother had a greater impact than I thought. I shouldn't have put on such a show.'
But he still focused his gaze on the guy who called himself the Mountain God, "It's really annoying. For my inner peace, this kind of mystical stuff is fatal.
Speaking of the Mountain God, I seem to have some impression, and it's related to Kishibe Rohan. Hmm, are you that guy from the millionaire's village? The one whose Mountain God's Messenger I blew up.
Kira Yoshikage vaguely recalled the Mountain God's Messenger who was blown up along with those so-called masters. He had to admit, the power felt very similar.
The Mountain God's face seemed to darken slightly, and his tone became unfriendly, "Stubborn."
Instantly, the beach rose and surged upwards, slamming Higashikata Josuke directly to the ground. Kira Yoshikage, however, clearly managed to brace himself, but he was also enduring an unimaginable terrifying acceleration, looking at the Mountain God with shock in his eyes.
The beach, originally made of sand, was directly lifted, and a tall mountain rose from the ground, appearing on the coast of Florida. Kira Yoshikage and the others were on the edge of the new mountain, looking down at a terrifying, bottomless cliff.
It didn't matter to Kira Yoshikage, as he could fly anyway, but this ability seemed a bit terrifying. More importantly, the Mountain God gradually melted in his eyes, merging into the mountain.
Meanwhile, the sand began to writhe, like a giant skin. Even the priest who was underwater was flung up onto a barren land, but his vacant eyes seemed to say he had long been dead.
Terrifying golden energy rippled outwards, and the time acceleration was forcibly suppressed, like coarse sand flowing into gears, making their rotation incredibly difficult.
"Although everything went smoothly before, my luck seems to be bad now."
Kira Yoshikage stepped on the sand, but his foot was pierced directly. The sand on the ground condensed into rows of sharp spikes, and the ground was ripped up, carrying the spikes towards him.
Kira Yoshikage casually turned the air into bombs, using the force of the explosions to blast himself into the air, floating there by means of the jets.
"Oh, bombs are useless against this sand too? Higashikata Josuke, don't just watch, hurry up and try!"
But when Higashikata Josuke heard this, he only glared at him, his tone very unfriendly, the anger in his voice like two hot irons rubbing together, "Shut up! Don't come over and order me around! We'll settle our score later, you bastard! I will definitely defeat you with my Justice Messenger!
I haven't forgotten the revenge for my mother! Don't stand there acting superior and telling me what to do, who do you think you are?!"
However, despite his words, Higashikata Josuke still used the remaining Weather Forecast time to control a gust of wind to lift himself up. He looked at the large expanse of sand biting from below, then summoned thousands of hands, simultaneously pounding the ground with flames.
But what made him feel powerless was that the sand on the ground only dented slightly, and this, in turn, swallowed his thousands of hands. The sand on the ground was like a field of flowers.
Once an object touched the sand, a large number of petals made of spikes and sand would instantly be lifted, several petals combining to form a flower, creating a veritable sea of sand-man-eating flowers.
Instantly, with a snap, Higashikata Josuke's left half of his body was filled with tiny holes, spewing blood.
"Oh, in essence, is it more like a plural Stand? If these projected hands are damaged, the main body will also be injured, but the reflected damage seems very low; it can't kill you."
Kira Yoshikage stroked his chin thoughtfully, receiving a cold glare from Higashikata Josuke. He didn't care, knowing they would eventually fall out anyway, so analyzing the information was necessary.
However, Higashikata Josuke's attack wasn't entirely useless. Golden flames ignited on the ground, turning a patch of beach into a sea of fire, but the fire quickly extinguished.
Only sand, burned to a glass-like state, and tiny specks of fire floating in the air remained.
Yes, specks.
Tiny grains of sand became the core of flames, dancing in the air, forming a wondrous sight of scattered flames across the sky, but no one paid attention to this beautiful scene at the moment.
"This is truly a unique ability. For a mortal to be able to harm a great god, such an ability is simply unheard of."
The Mountain God's muffled and grand voice emanated from the beach. The sand twisted and writhed, forming a giant face that covered the entire mountaintop. Those eyes, made of mixed sand and earth, looked at Higashikata Josuke with an undeniable hint of admiration.
"Is it a Heaven series Stand? No, a Heaven series Stand cannot truly harm a great god before completing its journey. This is a truly strange ability."
"Oh, can I take that as a compliment?"
Higashikata Josuke touched the hole-filled left side of his body, looking at his hands covered in viscous blood. With a flick of his hand, the blood, like a water blade, slashed towards the Mountain God's eye.
But Kira Yoshikage flew even further away. He saw a second into the future. He barely caught a glimpse of the so-called Mountain God's movements: the sand on the ground twisted and climbed upwards, forming pillars that instantly blocked all routes the blood blade could take.
The blood sprayed on the sand and immediately dispersed, unable to harm the pillars at all. Instead, wisps of sand began to shoot out from the pillars, forming countless spears in the air, directly stabbing towards Higashikata Josuke, the spears twisting and rolling.
At the same time, thinner strands of sand formed whips, binding Higashikata Josuke. Higashikata Josuke's eyes instantly widened, "Damn it!"
More arms appeared in the air, but those indestructible arms were like paper in front of the Mountain God. Golden arms were crushed the moment they met the spears or whips.
The terrifying power of the Mountain God was fully displayed on the sand. Although the sand would be stained with large amounts of fire from those arms, once the sand caught fire, the Mountain God would immediately cut them off.
Without life, the flames on the sand quickly extinguished, and Higashikata Josuke's attacks could no longer harm the Mountain God... And the Mountain God's face didn't move at all throughout, just watching silently, even showing a smile, as if watching a monkey show.
Even now, the Mountain God only used a fraction of his ability. If he wanted to, he could unleash much greater power at any time. Currently, his main goal was to capture them alive and have some fun.
After all, a planet made of rock is, in a sense, also a mountain.
