[I wonder if the sudden appearance of the Devil's Palm here was a coincidence, or if it deliberately pulled you in? Also, you felt something merge into your left hand when you approached the cliff, but surprisingly, your left hand doesn't have a single scratch.]

Then, you gaze at the raging icy rain ahead, feeling your wounds miraculously healed. Subconsciously, you reach out and cover your face with the half mask that belonged to Lanling King. Instantly, you and the masked evil spirit floating behind you strike a strange chord, and a name springs to mind: Rainbow Catcher!

So this is the legendary Stand ability! A sudden thought flashes through your mind: it allows you to don the mask and activate your Stand ability, blocking the path of raindrops and causing them to float in mid-air. The manipulated raindrops are strong enough to support your weight, allowing you to even step on them. You can also use them to create blades. If a target attempts to pass through, these raindrops will tear through them.

[You can also completely merge with the rain. Becoming as invisible as water, you can use this to cut through or dodge attacks. (You gain the special skill: Rainbow Catcher.)]

You unleash your Stand ability through your mask, causing the blue ice rain across from you to hover in mid-air. With a gentle leap, you float above the ice rain, becoming one with it. Rainbow Catcher follows you like a shadow, disappearing into the rain. When you reappear, a flash of sword light appears, and the sword returns to its sheath. The icy blue evil spirit in the air is pierced and quietly disappears! (You earn the achievement: Invisible Dog.)

The storm suddenly subsides, and you feel your own immense strength, a wave of astonishment. With your Stand, your already formidable physique has reached a new level! Now, you're on par with some of the most powerful Heroic Spirits you've ever faced.

[But at the same time, you discovered that the palm of your left hand began to crack. The wound was large, but you felt no pain. After a moment, your palm suddenly separated from the skin and flesh. A mummy hand composed purely of bones fell out from your flesh, and gradually emitted a faint light!]

After a moment, your palm returns to its original state, with only the bony lines slightly visible beneath the skin. After a few squirming movements, it returns to normal, but you can clearly sense a left hand that doesn't belong to you hidden within yours. If you're not mistaken, this mummified left hand seems to have granted you some kind of mysterious divinity. Among heroic spirits, possessing divinity means possessing multiple supernatural powers and achieving growth beyond the limits of one's species. You have obtained the remains of a saint (left hand).

You silently retracted your left hand. You noticed that Bruce Wayne and George Washington seemed to have noticed you. You could also sense that Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando, who had been unintentionally dragged into this situation, should have also acquired Stand abilities. There was also likely another person with Stand abilities hiding nearby.

As you expected, Jonathan Joestar and Dio were like natural enemies, and the situation immediately became tense. A purple Stand appeared in front of Jonathan Joestar, while a golden evil spirit appeared behind Dio Brando.

But by then, the terrain within the Devil's Palm had already shifted. The mountains were rising, but the ground beneath them was sinking. The hoofprints from the way up were beginning to disappear. George Washington rode up, urging them to leave quickly. He had been deep within the Devil's Palm before, and the terrain here was changing every moment, and the climate was ever-changing. If they didn't leave immediately, they would surely get lost, and by then, they might not even be able to find a water source.

On the way out, you saw Wally West in the car, his body also pierced by a sword. He was in a coma. It turned out that he was the Stand user who had been hiding behind you and attacking you!

After a brief hesitation, you finally led him out of the Devil's Palm. You could kill him later, but you couldn't leave someone dying without help. That was your bottom line. Besides him, you unexpectedly encountered hundreds of other contestants who had entered the Devil's Palm along the way. Perhaps this was just as Washington had said before: The Devil's Palm actively selects its participants.

[At this time, there were approximately 800 contestants who, like you, had taken the same route across the desert. However, nearly 500 of them were eliminated by the Devil's Palm, and no fewer than hundreds died there.]

After you emerged from the Devil's clutches with first place, you were less than 25 kilometers from Monument Valley, at the northern border of Arizona. Wally West was shocked upon waking up, but then, upon learning that you had saved him, he fell silent.

He cryptically tells you that the reason he's participating in this horse racing event is to collect something for his church. It's something resembling a corpse, called a Saint's Remains. The Saint's Remains have the same properties as the Devil's Palm: they actively select people.

[Since there are so many contestants, one of them will definitely be chosen by the corpse. In order to increase his chances of being chosen, he is taught to kill as many of his competitors as possible.]

[Saint's remains?] Your immediate thought is the mysterious hand that just entered your left hand. Not only does it grant you divinity, but it also inspires your own Stand user. If nothing unexpected happens, this thing must be the Saint's remains.

But what puzzles you is, whose remains are these supposed saints? Why are they attached to you? As Warren West said, if we can gather all the other parts, we should be able to piece together a complete mummy. What would happen if we could gather all the parts of this powerful body?

Monument Valley lies ahead. To your surprise, you didn't take first place this time. Diana took a shortcut and surpassed you on foot, reaching Monument Valley first and taking first place in this stage. You crossed the finish line in second place. Bruce Wayne remained in third place, followed by Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando, who, like you, chose the straight route. The Joker, whose bicycle chain broke at a crucial moment and required a lengthy repair, unfortunately finished seventh.

After arriving at Monument Valley, you all had a night to rest. That evening, Lex Luthor, the tycoon who sponsored the competition, returned to Monument Valley and hosted a cocktail party. He took the opportunity to inquire about the situation within the Devil's Palm.

[At this point, you vaguely understand that Lex Luthor's purpose in holding this tournament should also be for the remains of the Saint. So the question is, will Bruce Wayne and Jorg Washington help you keep this secret?]

[You vaguely sense a crisis approaching you.]
