Chapter 128: S+ Talent: Stand · The World! JoJo, I Reject My Humanity!!!
Sword of Promised Victory.
This holy sword.
That was right.
After discussing it back and forth, everyone felt it should be called a holy sword.
The forging of this holy sword seemed to have opened up Nimaiya Ōetsu's hidden potential, as if the two meridians of Ren and Du had been cleared.
His talent had completely begun to erupt, responding to his brothers' thoughts one after another.
"Artoria."
"Red Dragon King."
"Sword of Promised Victory."
Ike looked at his eldest daughter, whose equipment was becoming more and more complete. He smiled and shook his head. Then he glanced at the little ones who had all started making a fuss and said helplessly, "These brats…"
Ike turned and left.
Artoria, meanwhile, was still holding the Sword of Promised Victory, unable to put it down.
A growth-type weapon.
On this sea, such a thing had never appeared before.
As far as this sea was concerned…
Even the special weapons Vegapunk would create in the future, or the Pacifistas, still ultimately relied on Devil Fruit power. But as for Nimaiya Ōetsu, he had genuinely relied on his forging skill and research to develop this kind of growth-type weapon.
One could only say.
In every aspect related to weapon forging, his seventh son had already begun gradually surpassing everyone in this world. They were no longer on the same level at all.
Moreover.
His seventh son had genuinely improved his own talent to A-rank. Could he improve it to S-rank in the future? Could he improve it to Z-rank?
All of these were things that could be considered.
As Ike walked along the road, he could not help smiling emotionally. "Really! As a father, I still don't pay enough careful attention to my children. I actually failed to notice Seventh Brother's situation so completely."
Ike shook his head helplessly and thought inwardly, "I need to pay more serious attention to every child."
"Talent."
"Aptitude."
"They only determine their lower limit. As for their upper limit…"
"In other words."
"Although it is extremely difficult, all the children have hope of going one step further. That path may be incomparably difficult, but as long as such a possibility exists…"
"Then."
"I must carefully pay attention to every change."
The birth of the Sword of Promised Victory had indeed proven once again that every child in his family possessed outstanding talent. And the way these children would grow in the future was only determined at the lower boundary by their talent and aptitude. As for how high their upper limit would be, and where their ultimate peak lay?
That was right!
These were things that could not be determined. Precisely because they could not be determined, it also proved that their future was actually very promising. It proved that every one of his children had a future.
Only.
The problem within this required protection and excavation.
"Seriously." Thinking of this, Ike shook his head and rubbed the space between his brows. "This is indeed my failure as a father. Every child has their own upper limit, and every child has their own extreme. Since that is the case, does that mean these children are unable to break through their own limits?"
Ike's thought was not wrong. Although they had their own peaks…
The problem was!
Did that mean the children could not break through their own limits?
This was something that could not be confirmed.
After all!
Every child possessed a firm heart. Since that was the case, why could they not break through their own limits?
This was an extremely important question.
"Husband?"
"I was thinking… sometimes, have I let go too much when it comes to these children?"
Selina walked beside Ike, seemingly a little confused and not quite understanding what he meant.
Ike said seriously, "How should I put it? Take children like Seventh Brother, for example. Their talents and aptitude do indeed have an upper limit. But are they truly unable to break through their own limits? Just like Seventh Brother, he has broken through his original limit on the path of forging."
"Mm…"
Selina smiled and said, "Husband, what are you saying? Every child has their own limit, but they have not even reached their current upper limit yet. Whether they can break through their limits in the future is not something we can manage. It is something they must bring about themselves."
"That is true." Listening to Selina, Ike shook his head and said, "I was also getting a little stuck in my own thoughts. Let's go."
Selina covered her mouth and chuckled softly, leaving together with her husband.
The next day.
October 10th, Year 1480 of the Sea Circle Calendar.
Today.
Alice had already been sent into the delivery room.
Of course.
Ike also rushed over very quickly.
After all!
That S+ fully random template had been gestating inside Alice's body. Ike was also very curious. What kind of talent would this child have? Or rather, what kind of ability would he possess?
Ike found it very interesting and thought to himself, "Alice is from the vampire race. In other words, she is like a vampire. Then! This child's talent should be influenced by his mother."
If it were a fixed talent, then the child born would naturally possess that fixed talent.
But!
If it were a fully random talent, then it would be influenced by the mother. In other words, the mother's race, the mother's personality, and so on would all influence it.
Precisely because of that.
The current Ike found it very interesting. What kind of child would Alice give birth to?
At this moment!
Suddenly.
As light bloomed, the female doctor delivering the child raised her head, glanced at it for a moment, then calmly lowered her head again.
What was this?
Small matter.
No big deal!
She had seen this kind of thing too many times. Meanwhile, the young female doctor at her side, who was only eighteen or nineteen years old and serving as an assistant, was frightened badly. Her whole body froze.
"Work properly." The female doctor scolded sternly, "There is nothing wrong. Remember that."
"Yes."
The young female doctor immediately recovered her spirit. Since there was no problem, then everything was fine.
"Hm?!"
Ike looked at the child and narrowed his eyes slightly. One Tarot card after another began to appear—twenty-two Tarot cards in total.
In the end.
Only the card representing The World remained. Not only that, soon after, even this Tarot card gradually vanished without a trace, replaced by a scene that seemed to open up heaven and earth itself.
By this point, every scene had disappeared completely.
"Well…"
Ike watched all of this. As a standard anime fan in his previous life, he had watched countless anime.
He seemed to understand exactly what kind of talent this child possessed.
"No way?!" Ike could not help muttering. For a moment, he found it somewhat difficult to understand. It was truly outrageous.
However.
"JoJo, I reject my humanity!"
"Muda muda muda…"
"I'm so HIGH I can't take it."
These voices truly echoed uncontrollably in Ike's mind. His entire brain had been completely infected.
Ike hurriedly pressed down the chaotic thoughts in his mind and muttered helplessly, "This really is far too addictive. The memories of JoJo are actually attacking me through language."
"My lord."
"My lord."
"Mother and child are safe."
"Mother and child are safe."
At this time, the female doctor led the young doctors out. Ike nodded, then strode quickly into the delivery room. Selina arranged everything else. She was already used to it.
This had always been Selina's work, after all.
Ike strode into the delivery room. Looking at the sweet smile at the corner of Alice's mouth, he smiled and asked, "Alice, how do you feel?"
Alice nodded gently and said, "Husband, I'm fine."
"That's good."
Ike also smiled and nodded. Then he looked deeply at Alice, and the corner of his mouth curled into a smile.
Sometimes.
Reality was simply like this. For Alice, she had truly reached this step.
To be honest!
Among Ike's wives, some had relatively special identities and status. There was no need to mention Selina. After her, Yuhua, Huayu, and Alice all had very special identities.
Kurozumi Yuhua.
Baloric Alice.
They respectively represented the Kurozumi clan and the Baloric clan.
It could be said.
The identities of these two women were both very special.
Of course.
The identities of the two women were only one reason. Aside from that, an extremely crucial point was that while their identities were special, they had also given birth to S+ children.
Whether it was Seimei, the child born from Kurozumi Yuhua.
Or the S+ talent and aptitude child born from Alice now.
All of these represented that their status could rise one step further.
As for Huayu?
Her identity was also very special.
However!
Ike could only say that without an S+ child, it was basically impossible to become an equal wife. Of course, if Huayu could give birth to an S+ descendant, then she would also be qualified to become an equal wife. But before that, she was not.
That was right.
Aside from Selina, no one else was suitable. It was still the same saying: a mother's status rises because of her child. With Artoria, the eldest daughter, present, no one could shake Selina's position. When the Edward Family established a nation and Artoria became king, Selina would truly become the main wife.
Ike shook his head and stopped thinking about these things. Instead, he walked to the baby crib.
First of all, this was a bright-eyed child. Just by looking at how adorable and lively he was, Ike already knew what level this child had reached.
That definitely did not need to be said.
Secondly.
Although Ike could tell from one glance that this child was a boy…
Of course, that was nonsense. Ike had already begun checking the child's panel.
[Edward Dio]
[Identity: Sixty-Second Son]
[Birthday: October 10th, Year 1480 of the Sea Circle Calendar]
[Talent: S+ Stand · The World]
[Aptitude: S+]
The corner of Ike's mouth curled into a smile, and he said with interest, "As expected, it is almost exactly as I predicted. It really is this talent!"
Stand · The World!!!
To put it simply.
Ike had already expected this talent somewhat.
"Dio." Ike said, "Edward Dio. There is absolutely no name more suitable for this child than this one."
Alice did not quite understand, but she still nodded. "Understood."
Ike turned his head and looked at Alice, then quietly said, "From today onward, you are my equal wife. The things that should be prepared for you will be prepared before the end of the year. The ceremony will be held together with the New Year's banquet."
After saying that.
Ike had already left the delivery room. Selina, who had just entered, happened to hear Ike's words. She more or less felt something strange.
But!
That seemed right as well.
Selina was also a very clever woman. After thinking carefully for a moment, combined with the child Alice had just given birth to, she understood. One needed a child as support to advance further. This was an extremely important matter.
Selina nodded gently. Looking at Alice, who was already exhausted, she also stepped forward to offer comfort.
Honestly, even she herself felt that she truly was something. At a time like this, she could actually think of such matters.
Besides this.
There was something else.
Something was not quite right. Dio's talent seemed to have caused a special change somewhere.
Ike said softly, "Little Dio, little Dio…"
For a child with S+ talent and aptitude, the abilities born alongside them were basically linked to their own power.
The appearance of The World…
To put it bluntly!
"Can he evolve into Heaven Ascension?" Ike murmured.
Ike shook his head and slowly said, "Let Dio work hard on his own. If he succeeds, then that would naturally be best. But if he fails…"
Ike did not say the rest.
This was something this child would need to work hard for himself.
It should be said.
No one could determine this matter. Ike could only guess.
Judging from the original work, Heaven Ascension was ridiculously outrageous. Ike felt that if Dio could truly reach the level of Heaven Ascension, then his power would more or less become far too bug-like. Overwriting reality was that kind of ability.
Ike looked at his own child. He felt that there was a chance of success, but that probability would definitely be very low. It could even be said to be almost negligible. But as long as the possibility existed, then there was hope for success.
Of course, how high was the probability?
Ike could only say it was extremely small.
"Forget it!"
Ike shook his head and muttered, "I really am a greedy snake trying to swallow an elephant! Damn it. Little Dio is already an S+ talent and aptitude child, and there is also a Z+ talent and aptitude child about to be born. Yet I'm still thinking about so many things!"
Ike hurriedly threw those messy thoughts out of his mind.
Not important.
Not important.
Truly!
Future matters could be discussed in the future. For him right now, preparing for this year's New Year's banquet, as well as preparing a sense of ceremony for Alice, was enough.
There were still about two months before the New Year arrived.
Who asked his family to have such a large business?
With such a huge family and enterprise, preparing one or two months in advance was only normal.
