"[Ghost Ixtel]... What a unique Stand."
The Priest slowly sank in the seawater, his entire body completely submerged. The seawater had already filled his lungs, making him unable to breathe, yet he did not die. Or rather, he could no longer die from suffocation.
To be precise, the person slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea was no longer the Priest, but the Priest's lingering spirit. He had forcefully survived by using the Stand [Ghost Ixtel], turning himself into a transparent spirit.
When he sensed that Higashikata Josuke was acting strangely, he made two preparations: on one hand, he wanted to kill him, and on the other, he used this Stand to save his own life. He had previously experimented with a homeless man, and this Stand could turn a person into a spirit after death, allowing them to continue living.
Therefore, he secretly inserted this disc into his head beforehand, and relying on this Stand, he survived after a battle of gods. Fortunately, no one cared about his body, and it was blasted into the sea by the aftermath, sinking directly.
"I am Enrico Pucci, the one who will lead the world to a new world... Oh, my Father in heaven, no, it shouldn't be you, you have never manifested. It should be my dear friend in heaven, Dio, bless me.
The plan is about to succeed. Time is accelerating infinitely, and no one can discover or stop me. The new world will surely arrive, my dear friend, you too are about to be resurrected, possessing immense power. But the hidden danger of the Joestar bloodline, I am powerless to eliminate it..."
The Priest quietly closed his eyes, feeling the constantly accelerating current around him and his sinking body. He was like a body in the ocean, continuously descending. His transparent body could not be found by anyone. Now, he just had to wait for the outcome.
But what he didn't know was that in the accelerating time, the raging sea of fire on the surface was also accelerating its expansion. As a Stand of the same rank as Made in Heaven, The Messenger of Justice's range of influence, like Made in Heaven, spanned the entire universe.
It just had to spread from one point and eventually return to one point. However, to complete the metamorphosis, it only needed to cover the Earth, like a torrential downpour.
And above the sea, after gritting his teeth for a while, Higashikata Josuke could only sigh, "Although I want to use my The Messenger of Justice to get rid of that bastard, with Made in Heaven's ability, if he doesn't come out voluntarily, I can't find him... I must complete the metamorphosis before him!"
Higashikata Josuke made up his mind and began to continue expanding the range of the flame coverage with all his might, activating his ability using Weather Forecast's remaining time.
The Earth has experienced many extreme climates and weather. Even though Higashikata Josuke was just a high school student, he knew that the Earth's early climate was extremely extreme, creating a biological soup, and life originated in such extreme environments.
And now he was going to recreate that extreme environment, and with the help of that extreme environment, thoroughly push for the arrival of the flame divine punishment. "Weather Forecast · Global Magma Sea · The Messenger of Justice!"
Higashikata Josuke had once heard that for a period in Earth's early history, it was actually a giant ball of magma, with the entire surface covered in molten magma, reaching temperatures of up to 1200 degrees Celsius.
He felt that this should also be considered an extreme weather condition. There was no reason Weather Forecast couldn't recreate it; at most, the Stand energy would be insufficient, so the range would be smaller.
But if only one magma sea descended, punishing the sinners of one area, the corresponding flames would provide enough energy for him to unleash the next magma sea.
'Gurgle gurgle gurgle.'
The coastline gradually began to melt, and thick magma advanced from the coast inland. Higashikata Josuke pressed his hands on the surface of the sea, and flames rose along the magma, devouring the magma with high temperatures, replacing and melting the magma into a part of the flames.
Then, like a forest fire, golden flames devoured everything in their path, first the already destroyed Florida peninsula, then Georgia, Alabama, the raging fire consumed everything along the way.
Even Kira Yoshikage was forced into the sky, then flew towards the sea with a black face, following the direction of the flames, intending to take out Higashikata Josuke first.
Where the great fire passed, trees and beasts remained unharmed, while land and houses were first replaced by music, and then all turned into flames. But these flames were as solid and incredibly strong as a physical object. If one looked closely, one could even find golden arms within the flames.
And if these raging fires swept over people, ordinary people would more or less ignite a few wisps of flame, causing them to roll in pain and wail, but they would not die. Not only would they not suffer, but they would become invigorated, shouting praises to God's grace.
But if it fell on a wicked person, the wicked person would instantly become a large torch, as if receiving a medieval immolation, wailing in agony, their entire body almost burned to charcoal, often dying within a few seconds.
Life transformed into pure power, merging into the fire, causing the flames to continuously expand further.
In Alabama, on a farm at a private prison, dozens of black men were staring blankly at the sky. They watched the clouds in the sky constantly change, raining one moment, then their clothes suddenly drying the next, their eyes filled with confusion.
Even the work in their hands stopped, and the prison guard behind them, who was supervising their work, was also uncharacteristically not whipping these black men, forcing them to quickly pick cotton, but was also looking at the sky with a bewildered expression.
"Is this the end of the world? Time speeds up, then is normal, now it's speeding up again..."
The white prison guard muttered to himself, kneeling directly on the ground, hands clasped, his eyes filled with piety towards God. As a true white redneck, an absolute racist, he was incredibly devout to God.
"Indeed, the prophecies of the Apocalypse are all true. Now the judgment of Xu Shilong is coming, the end of the world is coming! Praise you, great Lord, purify and judge this muddy world! Quickly throw all these damned ones into the incinerator!"
"Idiot, what did you just say? What did you call us?"
"I want to..."
And the black prisoners in the cotton field, who had been bewildered, instantly became fierce. They glared angrily at the prison guard, but were completely ignored by him.
But before they could do anything, the ground instantly twisted into magma, then transformed into a combination of countless arms and flames, and they all instantly turned into fire people, both the black men and the prison guard alike.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
They could only let out cries of agony in the raging fire, and a lingering voice echoed in their ears, "God? I am not. I am not interested in any heaven, but I am indeed going to judge you."
