Chapter 288: Chapter 288: The One Who Holds the Power to Crush Galaxies!

〜JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Part 3: Stardust Crusaders Timeline〜

Kars, who had given up thinking and turned into a stone, drifting endlessly in the vast universe, felt incredibly heartbroken after seeing this scene.

“I finally became the ultimate being, yet I can’t even swim in lava. Is this demon of Kanon Island really that powerful?”

The more Kars thought about it, the more he felt bitter. Ever since the light screen appeared, he realized that there was always someone stronger. Just a roar could stop a volcanic eruption, the temperature of lava meant nothing to him, and he could jump into a bottomless abyss without a second thought…

Kars sometimes wondered what had happened to Earth during all those years he spent drifting in space. How did all these monsters and demons appear? He thought he was the ultimate being!

…..

[ Seeing Tenma’s terrified expression, Defteros seemed to understand. “Indeed, your method of using Cosmo is extremely clumsy.”

So he immediately began the first lesson. He casually scooped up some lava and easily molded it into a spherical shape.

“I’ll give you three days. During this time, control your Cosmo to my level. If you can’t, you’ll forever be a weakling, and I’ll kill and eat you.”

Just like that, two days passed in the blink of an eye. Tenma was still practicing in the scorching lava, but he hadn’t succeeded even once so far.

“BANG—!”

With another bang, the lava in his hand exploded again, and Tenma’s arm instantly turned crimson, already covered in burns.

“I can’t do it… I’m so unwilling!”

The dejected Tenma climbed up the valley, feeling the cool wind on his face, and thought of his lost companions. A stubborn force drove him back to the lava.

He carefully felt his Cosmo and gathered it in his palm. At this moment, the incredibly hot lava was actually tamed by Tenma.

“I succeeded—”

Before he could cheer, Defteros kicked him directly into the lava. Just as he was about to fall into the lava, Tenma immediately extrapolated, using the same principle to spread his Cosmo throughout his body, forming a protective shield.

Then Tenma shot out of the lava like a cannonball.

However, after Tenma emerged from his excitement, Defteros took him to the crater, where the scorching temperature seemed to distort space.

“This is the final test. You must use your own power to stop the eruption of Kanon Island’s volcano. Show me!” ]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

“They say strict teachers produce exceptional students, but I’ve never seen one this strict. This is training someone to death, yet I have to admit the results are remarkable.”

“Hahaha, Kanon Island, the quick success stage of power! Come if you dare, but remember to buy accident insurance first.”

No wonder Dégel told Tenma, when guiding his training, that whether he gained power or died was entirely up to him… Under the guidance of that demon, ordinary Saints, let alone getting stronger through training, would have trouble just staying alive.

…..

〜Jujutsu Kaisen World, Present Timeline〜

“Buzz—!”

Jogo’s face instantly darkened, and hot steam billowed from his head and ears in anger.

“Can you show some respect to volcanoes?!”

The thought of Gojo Satoru treating him as a teaching tool for that brat, Itadori, earlier instantly enraged him. He had never been so underestimated in his life.

When did scorching lava become a training tool? Everyone, one after another, treated volcanoes as nothing, with every Tom, John, and Harry coming to the volcano for special training.

“Didn’t underwater training used to be popular?! Go train there!”

As a Cursed Spirit born from people’s fear of volcanoes, Jogo now felt that people weren’t as afraid of volcanoes anymore.

…..

〜Bleach World, Karakura Town〜

“I thought bathing in lava was hardcore enough, but now they have to practice this for two and a half days, not even three full days, for a trainee like Tenma to stop a volcanic eruption?”

Rukia’s eyes showed a clear stupidity, looking somewhat bewildered, because to her, it was no easier than Kurosaki Ichigo, an outsider, mastering Bankai within three days…

Then Rukia’s face straightened. It seemed Ichigo really did it. With that precedent, Tenma might not be able to do it in three days.

Ichigo could empathize with Tenma’s feelings.

“Eh… Time is tight, and Tenma doesn’t have much time to train.”

Hades has gone to Elysium. The longer it drags on, the more dangerous the survival of the world becomes. Tenma can only use this remaining time to quickly become stronger.

…..

[ “Wha… what——?!” Hearing Defteros’s demand, Tenma was instantly dumbfounded.

Looking at the volcano continuously spewing hot lava, he still doubted whether he could really do it. However, if he didn’t take action, the surging lava would surely engulf the island’s residents.

At the foot of the mountain, the villagers had fallen into panic, crowding and fleeing. Seeing this, Tenma no longer hesitated, and his Cosmo instantly covered his entire body.

He leaped into the crater, falling towards the scorching lava! And at this moment, the demon’s voice rang out behind him.

“MAKE KANON ISLAND SUBMIT!!”

Even with the demon’s reminder, Tenma felt helpless after jumping into the lava. He had no idea how to make Kanon Island submit.

“Don’t surge out, lava…”

“Stop, STOP!!!”

Gradually, Tenma’s power began to deplete as he dealt with the scorching lava. The sensation in his body gradually disappeared, and if this continued, his body would also be swallowed by the lava.

At the critical moment, Tenma understood that the demon could stop the volcano’s rampage not by brute force, but by the perception of Cosmo.

“I can understand Kanon Island…”

At this instant, Tenma’s Cosmo received a substantial boost. A power beyond the five senses, even the sixth sense, was born within him.

“The me now…!”

As his Cosmo permeated Kanon Island, the entire island seemed to merge with him. At this moment, Tenma felt he could do it!

“STOP IT!!!”

With Tenma’s roar, Kanon Island truly stopped shaking, and the volcano ceased its eruption.

The scene changed, and the demon was seen pulling the exhausted Tenma out of the lava, holding the Pegasus Cloth in his hand. “I never thought you would actually stop the volcanic eruption.” ]

[ …..]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

“In three days, Tenma achieved unimaginable growth, and his mastery of Cosmo reached a height he had never even dreamed of.”

He actually did it… He really stopped the eruption of an entire volcano by himself. In this situation, everyone from other worlds was filled with surprise…

In just three days, he went from being a novice in using Cosmo to being able to precisely utilize the Cosmo within him. Could he be a genius?

The awakened power beyond the five and six senses, according to the Saints, meant he had reached the Seventh Sense… Now it was Dohko’s turn to be embarrassed; his own disciple was making rapid progress under someone else’s tutelage.

…..

[ Under the night sky, Defteros also dispelled the gloom on his face, revealing a handsome countenance, and his whole person became calm.

“There have been many rare guests recently… Asmita!”

Beside him, the soul of Virgo Asmita, who had already died, appeared from the Pegasus Cloth, standing next to Defteros.

“Thanks to you, he reached the Seventh Sense, even if only for an instant.”

Asmita also felt a bit surprised; he hadn’t expected Defteros to inject his own blood into the Pegasus Cloth.

Asmita was already dead, but he still wanted to persuade Defteros. “Don’t be confined to one island. Aren’t you the man who possesses the power to shatter the stars of the galaxy with a single blow?!”

“Go fight, and fight for me too.”

As his words fell, Asmita’s body became ethereal again, disappearing beneath this starry sky.

Defteros then stood up, a slight ripple in his eyes. Perhaps it was time to leave this small island.

In the Sanctuary, Dégel closed the book in his hand. He had a general understanding of the mission’s information, then walked towards the Scorpio Temple. ]

[ …..]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

“Asmita is dead and still has to come out as an advocate. What exactly is the origin of this Defteros?!”

“To possess the power to shatter the stars of the galaxy, although it shows he’s strong, it’s not so outrageous!”

Everyone from other worlds immediately called it impossible, absolutely impossible! How could humans possess such power?

If it were truly possible, then apart from not having the authority of gods, his strength would be almost on par with theirs; even the Gemini Gods weren’t said to be able to crush the stars of the galaxy.

…..

〜Record of Ragnarok World〜

“Are Saints really still human?!”

Zeus stared blankly at the ongoing Ragnarok, occasionally glancing at the screen.

Compared to the strength shown on the screen, they were actually just playing around, not even worth mentioning.

Fortunately, Saints didn’t exist in their world, and Brunhilde couldn’t summon them. Otherwise, the real danger would be to them, the gods.

Saying they would destroy humanity in front of those monstrous Saints?! Might as well just go to sleep. That’s like lighting a lamp in a toilet – asking for death. It would be good if they didn’t come to destroy us.

Even the incredibly arrogant Odin, with two birds perched on his shoulders, held the same thought. After all, what was being said? A man with the power to shatter the stars of the galaxy…

Although it sounded somewhat exaggerated, coming from Asmita’s mouth, its credibility was surprisingly high. He thought it might be true.
