JOJO: Madness of Multiverse

"Ar... Arima... Kishou!!"

This is a name that makes ghouls turn pale at the sound. Irimi Kaya was dumbfounded, her face full of fright.

"You're not joking?"

Her footsteps suddenly stopped.

If the one guarding the underground was really that man called a Shinigami (Death God), then for them ghouls, there was absolutely no chance of breakthrough.

Going there was no different than sending themselves to death.

She froze, because just from Jotaro's expression, she knew, he wasn't joking at all. He truly planned to break through CCG's defenses from there.

Someone who made such a decision was either an idiot or a madman.

She hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and called her subordinates to follow Jotaro's steps.

Surrounded on all sides by CCG's investigators, right now, no matter where they went, it was a dead end.

The underground passage seemed dangerous, but at least they had a war god-like Jotaro. In her eyes, Jotaro's strength was not to be underestimated.

Even if not on par with Arima, the gap between the two shouldn't be too large.

Only…

"Guarding the underground isn't just Arima, but also the Zero Squad he commands."

Zero Squad is known as CCG's strongest combat force. The members inside are powerful and each of them has the potential to become a Special-Class Investigator.

They come from the place where CCG cultivates special investigators, Sunlit Garden. Most of them, like Arima, are Half-Humans.

This species has reproductive isolation with neither humans nor ghouls. But humans and ghouls can not only produce offspring, those offspring are also fertile.

That is to say, the two are the same species.

Half-Humans are the children of humans and ghouls.

Their combat talent far surpasses both humans and ghouls. Though they seem superior, in reality, they have major flaws.

Aside from being unable to use kagune, their lifespan is also short. Most won't live past thirty years.

Some Half-Humans are natural born, and some are Half-Ghouls.

Half-Ghouls can be said to be an extremely perfect species, inheriting the advantages of both humans and ghouls.

They can use kagune, eat human food, under the premise that their Rc cell levels don't exceed limits, and have normal lifespans.

But the probability of producing such an existence during reproduction is extremely rare.

Most are still Half-Humans like Arima.

"You are a CCG investigator, you should be well aware of the strength of Zero Squad."

"Each of them has combat power comparable to a squad."

Irimi Kaya's words didn't concern Jotaro at all. He pointed to the manhole cover under his feet.

"We'll go down from here!"

"ORA!"

Star Platinum directly blew off the manhole cover above the sewer, and then Jotaro stepped forward and leapt in.

This was his first time entering the sewers, but his movements appeared incredibly practiced.

Irimi Kaya sighed, followed closely behind with her subordinates, and didn't say anything more.

Honestly speaking, she had long since become indifferent to life and death, Jotaro had let them off, and she owed him a favor. She just didn't want to see him walk to his death, that's all.

Her eyes swept over Jotaro's blood-covered body.

This guy's injuries looked very serious.

"Just dealing with Arima alone is already difficult for you, let alone having to face so many Zero Squad members as well..."

The members of a squad wouldn't fight individually. They had coordination, organization, and discipline. With someone like the Reaper Arima in command, even if Jotaro's strength astonished her, she still couldn't see any hope of victory.

Jotaro had once seen the underground routes in a tactical meeting, he had a general impression.

After landing, he didn't pause for a second and walked toward the direction away from the battlefield.

His steps were quick and steady, but very soon slowed down, and eventually stopped entirely.

He had directed the ghouls to a safe route, but now it seemed, not every ghoul had followed his instructions to leave from that direction.

Many ghouls had also chosen to escape underground.

The underground defense was weaker than the surface. Everyone knew this, and it was indeed true, only, the one guarding this direction was Arima.

They were now paying the price for their wrong choice.

Blood splashed on the walls, corpses piled like a mountain, and standing in the middle of the corpse pile, in a dustless white robe, the icy man was the Reaper.

Kishou Arima.

The moment she saw this man, Irimi Kaya's steps stiffened, fear uncontrollably rising from her heart. A bone-chilling cold climbed from her heels to her back.

Her subordinates also became extremely tense.

Because at that moment, all of them had the illusion that their lives were no longer under their control.

"Move."

Jotaro looked at the man before him. He didn't seem to notice the killing intent from the other, his expression calm and indifferent.

Arima's eyes met Jotaro's in midair, equally cold and sharp.

Arima showed slight surprise. In battle mode, very few ghouls dared look him in the eye.

Under threat of death, most ghouls focused not on his eyes, but on the Quinque in his hand.

"Human?" Realizing Jotaro's true identity, Arima's expression slightly changed. "Kujo Jotaro, headquarters First-Class Investigator."

He had some impression of this man in the black coat.

Though he had served as an investigator for a short time, he had already gained a large number of fans within the CCG.

That person was a hands-on type, with brilliant battle achievements, outstanding strength, and a well-deserved reputation.

Some fanatics even worshiped him as someone who could surpass Kishou Arima.

At the current speed of Jotaro's promotions, it indeed surpassed what Arima had achieved.

Though Arima didn't care for vanity, he had paid attention to this man who could be considered his equal, and had once privately looked into his records.

"Investigator Kujo?" Kishou Arima glanced at Irimi Kaya behind Jotaro, showing slight astonishment.

"As a headquarters investigator, why are you with ghouls?"

"And..." His face turned cold as frost, and his aura burst forth in an instant. "Just now we received a notice, you've been identified by CCG as a major wanted criminal for killing Director Washuu."

The Quinque in his hand also extended in that moment, a pitch-black spear radiating deadly aura.

Countless ghouls had died under it. Its demonic blackness seemed forged from ghoul blood.

Jotaro turned a deaf ear, paying no mind, coldly said, "Move aside!"

Irimi Kaya stepped forward and grabbed his arm, exclaiming, "You really want to fight him head-on?"

Jotaro gave her a glance, calmly said, "You go to the back. Don't get in the way here."

Irimi Kaya did not retreat, but instead stood in front of Jotaro, firmly said, "We'll stall him. You take the chance and go."

"Thanks to you, most ghouls in the 20th Ward have escaped safely. I, Black Dog, don't like owing people favors!"
