Chapter 123: There's still confusion in my heart... No need to stimulate it
🕑 Added 2025-05-26 03:05:01 +0000 UTCJohnny's ultimate ideal pursuit was to seize the Corpse Parts so he could stand again. Originally, he could have left Gyro entangled in the branches of a tree for hundreds of years, not caring whether he lived or died, and run away with the Corpse Parts.
But in the end, he chose to exchange the Saint's Corpse Parts for the red wine to save Gyro's life, giving up the Corpse Parts.
He exchanged the Corpse Parts for Gyro... Gyro naturally knew the significance of the Corpse Parts to Johnny, and he also knew that Johnny was as conflicted as he had been.
Therefore, he was filled with gratitude and joy for Johnny's choice. In the end, the two drank the bottle of wine exchanged for the Corpse Parts in the snow, and their friendship was sublimated!

Doctor Roman leaned back in his chair, took a sip of the coffee in his hand, and sighed with a strange expression.
"Johnny is a very magical person. He loves to cry! Every time, he fights while crying, moves forward while crying, and makes choices while crying..."
"But after crying, he has to continue moving forward. His tears record his growth. Every cry makes him stronger, allowing him to continuously move forward from a negative starting point!"

"Perhaps it was when Johnny saved Gyro with the Corpse Parts that Gyro truly accepted Johnny from the bottom of his heart... That's why he raised his glass to the next Corpse Part instead of the stage champion!"
"From the moment he met Gyro... Johnny's dead heart was rekindled with hope!"
Bucciarati looked at Giorno. When we met in Naples, my dead heart was also revived!
This choice was too painful for Johnny. No matter how he deceived himself, he understood that Gyro was the one who gave him hope.
The snow fell harder and harder. After such a difficult battle, all they got was half a bottle of red wine. Their hearts were filled with complex emotions, with so much to say, yet not knowing where to start.
They could only entrust all their unspoken words to the wine!
【 Before drinking in the snow, Johnny accidentally imprinted the map on the snow. He also remembered the location of the next Corpse Part. After losing all the Corpse Parts, the two embarked on the journey again.
The two relied on the last cliff suspension bridge, using the Spin to secure first place in the sixth stage.
Then the seventh stage began, this time traveling over 1300 kilometers to Philadelphia on the American East Coast. Twelve days passed in the blink of an eye, and the two arrived outside Gettysburg, 145 kilometers from Philadelphia!
The two, who were planning to rest, noticed Hot Pants passing by quickly. Gyro and Johnny exchanged glances and chased after her.
Arriving in the city, Gyro found the discarded teddy bear. Just as he picked it up, he found the bear burrowing into his arm.
On the other side, the dinner knife Johnny had thrown away also burrowed into his arm.
Seeing this bizarre scene, Gyro's expression changed drastically: "This... is this guy the enemy?"
Before Gyro could figure out what was going on, the teddy bear had completely entered his body, and a voice appeared behind him.
"Will you abandon certain things to move forward, or will you return to the past?... Gyro Zeppeli!"
Gyro turned around and launched a Spin-infused Steel Ball attack, directly shattering the robotic-like Stand!
Gyro reached out to recall the Steel Ball but found more than a dozen Steel Balls rolling out of the nearby trash pile. Upon closer inspection of the marks, each one was indeed his own.
On the other side, Hot Pants, unable to abandon the past, had his mind sealed. Hot Pants cried, "No one can escape the past they discarded... But Johnny! You still have time."
"Quickly wash off the dagger with water! Before your heart surrenders!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hot Pants was compressed by an invisible barrier and disappeared before their eyes. 】

"The abilities are getting weirder and weirder! These abilities have risen to the conceptual level..."
"This time it's the inescapable past... Once you pick it up again, you can't move forward."
"What kind of Stand ability is this?! This time it's an attack from the heart!"
"An attack from the heart is impossible to defend against... You can only rely on your personal will to choose to move forward or backward. It's up to them."
"But Hot Pants disappeared. Where did she disappear to? Will she be forever mired in guilt over the past?"
【 Realizing something was wrong, Johnny was about to leave when a white mouse appeared beside him. It was the white mouse he had released, causing his brother's death... He then killed the mouse with a Tusk.
His body, like Hot Pants's, was gradually entangled by an invisible barrier. Based on Hot Pants's last information! Johnny used all his strength to crawl towards the saddle to get water to break this ability.
Before he could reach the water bottle, the mouse he had just killed with Tusk reappeared before his eyes. Seeing the mouse getting closer and closer, Johnny pushed off the ground with one hand and leaped into the air!
Then he raised his hand and fired a Tusk, but this time he didn't expect the mouse to dodge it and burrow directly into Johnny's body.
The plastic-like barrier on Johnny's body grew larger again! It began to spread throughout his body, but Johnny's expression was extremely calm at this moment.
"That Tusk! Its target wasn't the mouse, but the water bottle on the saddle."
The water bottle had been pierced, and clear water fell from above, and the various items that had burrowed into his body fell out, and the white mouse also left his body.
Moreover, his Tusk wasn't just for that, because he had noticed the well not far away. Clear spring water gushed out of the bullet hole. As long as he had this water, he could save Gyro.
The enemy hiding in the dark, seeing Johnny's performance, was certain that the Saint's Corpse was inside him!
Johnny pulled over his backpack, ate the herb that rapidly grew his nails, and fired another Tusk at the mouse not far away.
But this time, the mouse dodged into the house! Johnny didn't know whether to pursue it or not.
Just then, a deep voice sounded in his ear.
"Johnny Joestar... If you have doubts, don't fire!"
Johnny turned his head slightly and saw a middle-aged man wearing a crown of thorns behind him. 】

"Is that the Saint? The Corpse Part recovered from Hot Pants is inside Johnny... But I didn't expect it to be alive."
"It's been so many years since he died, but he can not only awaken Stand abilities in those who have the qualifications, but also allow Johnny, who is paralyzed from the waist down, to move again, and even talk to people. It can only be said that he is worthy of being a Saint."
At this moment, some worlds with relevant legends have no difficulty guessing the true identity of the Saint's Corpse; after all, even the image has appeared.
~JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Part 3: Stardust Crusaders Worldline~
"Is the identity of the Saint's Corpse, is Jesus?"
Old Joseph used a question mark, but his tone was beyond doubt. But with the identity exposed, I wonder if the Corpse Part in this world will have the same effect?
He was worried that Dio would try to find the Saint's Corpse, and if it really had the same abilities, it would be difficult...
"Don't worry!"
Jotaro Kujo, with an invincible look, pressed down his hat and said in a deep voice.
"If the Saint's Corpse in our world really had such miraculous abilities, it would have been snatched away long ago! It's impossible that there wouldn't be any news."
But the most serious thing is Christianity! At this moment, some believers have completely gone crazy...
