Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 187 The Stone Mask of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure World, the Legion of the Future Undead

"Uhhhhh!!!"

Zhao Mingyang let out a heart-wrenching scream, his body twisting in a bizarre posture. His skin began to turn deathly pale, his muscles swelled at a visible speed, and his fingernails grew into sharp claws.

His originally black pupils now glowed with a blood-red light.

Li Mo was still in a daze, staring incredulously at Zhao Mingyang in front of him.

"Is that... the Stone Mask from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure?"

"I accidentally used a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure reference without my knowledge?"

"You've become Dior, and I've become JoJo?"

Li Mo's lips twitched slightly, but he calmed down after figuring out the whole story; at this time, Shi Guimian had also completed the transformation of Zhao Mingyang.

Zhao Mingyang took a deep breath, not even having time to feel the powerful force surging within his body, and his figure flashed to the refrigerator like a ghost; his movements were so fast that they almost left afterimages, and his sharp claws precisely opened the refrigerator door, taking out a bag of dark red liquid, which was the blood of the mutated creature he had bought earlier.

"call."

Zhao Mingyang removed the stone mask, eagerly tore open the packaging, tilted his head back, and drank the blood in one gulp.

The flesh and blood of mutated creatures, nourished by spiritual energy, taste far superior to ordinary food; even their blood contains a rich spiritual power.

The moment the blood entered his throat, his pupils contracted sharply, and his entire body trembled involuntarily.

"This feels wonderful."

Spiritual energy surged through his veins like a warm current, bringing an unprecedented sense of pleasure. Zhao Mingyang could clearly feel that every inch of his skin and every cell was cheering with joy.

This kind of satisfaction, which stems from the instinct for survival, is far beyond what food can provide.

"While vampires in the JOJO world primarily feed on human blood, they can also survive on animal blood, though the effect is far less than that of human blood."

"In the lore, human blood contains stronger life energy, and the blood of the strong is more attractive to vampires than the blood of ordinary people."

"But without a doubt, the world of JOJO does not contain spiritual energy, which contains life force."

"So, your previous worries were indeed somewhat unnecessary."

Li Mo said to Zhao Mingyang.

After learning that the vampire was transformed from the Stone Mask from the JOJO world, he determined that the blood of the mutated creature was sufficient to satisfy their blood needs.

Because in the JOJO world, vampires have absorbed the blood of other animals, but that blood can only sustain their most basic survival. The biggest difference between animal blood and human blood is the amount of life energy.

Human blood contains stronger life energy; the stronger a person is, the more life energy they possess, and the more attractive their blood is to vampires.

In reality, the life energy in the blood of mutated creatures is far greater than that in humans.

“Indeed, I discovered this after I became a vampire.”

"My body didn't even have the thought of absorbing your blood; it simply drove me to the refrigerator to drink the blood of the mutated creature I bought."

Zhao Mingyang affirmed Li Mo's words, and Li Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing Zhao Mingyang's words, but still asked with some curiosity:

When did you obtain the Stone Mask?

"I found it by chance last week; you know, although the plot of JOJO is exciting, not everyone can stand the art style."

Zhao Mingyang said casually.

"That's true."

Li Mo nodded in deep agreement.

Those who like JOJO will love its unique art style, while those who don't will either be drawn in by the exciting plot and force themselves to watch, or simply can't watch a single episode.

Compared to anime fans who have already seen many masterpieces, those who are just getting into anime are like those who are just getting into novels. There are too many works for them to choose from, and even JOJO cannot be said to be more attractive than others.

At this moment, Zhao Mingyang handed the stone mask in his hand to Li Mo:
Do you need it?

There was a moment of silence.

The Stone Mask is a tool invented by Kars, a member of the ancient humanoid race, the Dark Clan, in his pursuit of becoming a "perfect being".

When an ordinary human or other creature wears a Stone Mask on their face and smears it with blood, numerous bone spikes will extend from the edges of the Stone Mask and pierce the wearer's head and brain; thereby turning them into a vampire whose physical abilities far surpass those of humans, who is immortal but can be destroyed by sunlight.

Despite its flaws, its effectiveness is undoubtedly extremely powerful.

Moreover, unlike other treasures of the heavens that can only be used by one person, the Stone Mask can be used by multiple people, and can even be used indefinitely as long as the Stone Mask itself is not destroyed.

The stone mask inlaid with Aja red stone is another story.

However, it is uncertain whether ordinary people can become ultimate beings by using a Stone Mask inlaid with Aja Red Stone; and not all Stone Masks can be inlaid with Aja Red Stone. Of the Stone Masks created by Kars, only the one that was worn last could be inlaid.

They obviously don't need to consider this issue.

So, should we use it?
From an ordinary person to a vampire with immense power, immortality, but who fears sunlight and craves blood?
A smile appeared on Li Mo's lips as he took the stone mask from Zhao Mingyang's hand without hesitation.

"Isn't that natural?"

If he were to transform into a ghoul who "can only feed on humans, whose survival depends solely on human blood, whose strength is suppressed, and who cannot consume any human food except coffee," he would definitely hesitate, because ghouls are destined to be a race that looks the same as humans but is completely different.

But is it a vampire transformed from a stone mask?
They possess immense strength and an immortal body. Although they can only obtain life energy from their blood to sustain their lives and cannot obtain it through food, they can still eat food without restriction.

Its only drawback is that it is afraid of sunlight.

Can this be considered a flaw?
As a human, he is not afraid of the sun during the day, but the daytime does not belong to him.

He might have one day off on the weekend, but even then, he just lies at home catching up on the sleep he missed during the week.

Speaking of this, the Stone Mask thinks it might be time to contact the Tian Shu Bureau and ask if they would be willing to cooperate and rent the Stone Mask to them.

It's definitely impossible for them to hand it over. Selling it is an option, but what if someone else around them wants to use the Stone Mask in the future?
Renting would be more suitable. They also trust the Celestial Pivot Bureau in this regard, or rather, they trust the contract of the Rock King Emperor.

If this thing were in the hands of the Tian Shu Bureau, and they could build a vampire army to defend against mutated creatures, then no mutated creatures should be able to break into Yun Chuan City at night, right?

They are indirectly protecting the city's safety.

Moreover, they can earn a lot of money, ensuring they live a comfortable life without having to work.

At most, I'll go out at night to forage for some mutated creatures, and then stroll around the night market, enjoying some barbecue and beer—human food.

Anyway, vampires don't have to worry about getting fat or sick.

"How much blood of the mutated creature did you buy? Is there any left?"

"I dare not use it now that you've used it all up."

Li Mo suddenly thought of something and paused.

Although it's uncertain whether he'll necessarily need to drink blood after the transformation, judging from Zhao Mingyang's actions just now, he must be feeling some hunger. He wouldn't dare use it if he didn't have the blood of a mutated creature prepared.

Zhao Mingyang smiled, turned around and took out a dark red blood bag from the back of the refrigerator.

"Would I have taken out the Stone Ghost Noodles without adequate preparation? I was even worried that one bag wouldn't be enough, so I specially prepared a few extra bags."

"But now it seems that one bag is enough."

"Good guy!"

Li Mo's eyes widened, then, as if he had figured something out, he pointed at Zhao Mingyang with a wry smile.

"You were all ready, and you were just pretending to ask me if I needed it?"

"Just to use a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure reference, huh?"

Zhao Mingyang shrugged and smiled noncommittally.

Li Mo shook his head, said no more, and slowly placed the stone mask over his face.

He picked up the dagger, which was still stained with Zhao Mingyang's blood, hesitated for a moment, and then smeared the remaining blood on his cheek.

"bring it on!"

"Let me experience what it's like to be dehumanized!"

Li Mo's voice sounded somewhat muffled through the mask, yet also carried a hint of nervousness.

The main reason is fear of pain.

The thought of a bone needle piercing the brain is painful.

Blood spread along the mask, and the Stone Demon Mask awoke once more. The moment the bone spikes shot out, Li Mo let out a violent scream.

Evolution has begun.

Chaoyang City, in the heart of the city.

Li Shuyang stepped over the broken concrete blocks, and the temperature of the long knife in his hand continued to rise; his breathing was steady and long, and with each exhale, the temperature of the blade subtly increased.

"Squeak."

Suddenly, the rusty tin roof was ripped open, and a mutated mastiff the size of a car burst out, with the remains of some kind of creature still hanging from its fangs.

The sword suddenly appeared.

"Breathe of the Sun, Type 5, Train".

The swirling whirlwind of flames instantly enveloped the mutated mastiff. By the time Li Shuyang sheathed his sword, only a charred corpse remained on the ground, still emitting wisps of smoke.

"At location four, the mutated creatures have been cleared."

He pressed the earpiece and reported.

The voice of the commander from the Tian Shu Bureau came through the earpiece:
"Received. The drone indicates that there are traces of mutated creature activity in the area 3,200 meters to your right. Please proceed to confirm."

"understood."

After Li Shuyang finished speaking, he rushed to the other side.

Meanwhile, in the underground parking lot not far from here.

Zhou Ming walked down the dimly lit corridor with his hands in his pockets, a pleased expression on his face.

Sure enough, although he could ignore the sunlight, he still preferred this place without sunlight to being under it.

"Alright, come out now, we've already spotted you."

"However, rat poison has been updated countless times, and there are still mutated rats now. Your reproductive and survival abilities are truly remarkable."

"But why is there only one?"

"What? Were you sent out to gather information?"

Whether it was praise or sarcasm, Zhou Ming's gaze fell on a spot in the underground parking lot, and he said with interest.

"Not coming out? It doesn't matter."

"boom."

Zhou Ming lightly stepped on the ground, and countless black, thorn-like things burst up from the ground, piercing the mutated rats hidden among the vehicle wreckage.

The mutated rat, as big as a house cat, was sucked dry and shriveled before it could even scream.
