"Did it fail? As expected..." The white-haired man said.
He had anticipated the girl's persistence regarding Kurokawa Kazuya, but what he saw in Kurokawa Kazumi's past and future wasn't as rosy as he thought.
However, that assumption was based on the premise that Kurokawa Kazuya remained unchanged.
Now it's different—
Kurokawa Kazuya... This man was an enigma. His records spanned only two short years... Going back further, it was another completely different pers...
Intense pain—
Accompanied by a wave of intense pain.
Kazuya woke up from his slumber.
"It's that... familiar feeling again," Kazuya sat up in bed, accompanied by the usual pain. He poured himself a cup of hot water from the kettle at the bedside.
Before this, in his dream.
In the world of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure," he had died...
At that time, Dio charged at him—
His speed, combined with the overwhelming force.
Although he had tried...
Inside the car sat four robbers, groaning in agony, their faces covered in blood.
Glancing at them, Russell didn't hesitate. White tendrils emerged from his right hand, forcibly pulling them out of the car.
Due to his somewhat rough actions, their injuries worsened, aggravating their already harmed states.
However, he paid no heed to this matter.
After extracting the four robbers from the car, he controlled the Symbiote to envelop them, providing some minor t...
Although the beautiful female assistants sent by HYDRA were quite attractive, Russell didn't pay too much attention to them.
He might be a man who succumbed to temptations, but he wasn't someone who could be easily deceived.
After handing the design sketch to Peter and giving him an encouraging look, Russell left the laboratory and returned to his office on the third floor.
Specialized matters were best left to professionals.
Although Peter wasn't exactly a profess...
Adding a Gatling machine gun to the back, emitting blue flames.
Equipping it with miniature armor-piercing rounds, air-to-air missiles, anti-armor missiles, and so on.
Laser weapons, of course, couldn't be left out.
Russell swiftly sketched according to his imagination.
At the beginning, he referenced Colonel Rhodes' War Machine.
However, as he added more weapons, the appearance of the battle armor evolved into the look of another type of advanced high-tech ...
"What—?" Dio gritted his teeth and said, "Dodged it?"
In that moment—
Kazuya and Jonathan Joestar stopped Sir Joestar and quickly pulled Jonathan away.
However, even so, Dio's dagger had already cut Jonathan's waist, leaving a not-too-deep wound.
"Hehe... hahaha... hahahahahahaha——————"
Nevertheless, as he looked at the Stone Mask in his hand, he started to laugh.
He put on the Stone Mask, and with Jonathan's blood that splattered on h...
"Dio hasn't returned?" Jonathan Joestar looked at the butler and asked.
"Yes... that's correct. He went out earlier and hasn't returned since," The butler of the Joestar family replied as he looked at Jonathan.
"Hmm... did he run away? That Dio!" The police chief voiced his suspicion.
"I don't know... I really don't," Jonathan replied after a moment of silence. He didn't know if Dio had run away or simply hadn't come back.
"Well... if he has run away, I'll issue a ...
To resolve the issue of experimental equipment, Russell reached out to HYDRA.
Although he hadn't done anything since joining HYDRA, he believed they wouldn't refuse him the temporary use of their resources. After all, he was destined to become the leader of HYDRA.
In order to swiftly tackle the laboratory problem, he wasted no time and directly contacted Bakshi.
After hearing his request, Bakshi was momentarily stunned before responding. Although he wasn't sure what Russe...
Even if Gwen hadn't said anything, Russell would have taken care of Mr. Negative's body.
If Gwen hadn't arrived, he would have already called the cleanup crew to deal with the body.
"Thanks for the reminder," Russell said slowly to Gwen.
Although he couldn't see Gwen's expression at the moment, from her tone, it seemed she didn't really care about Mr. Negative's death.
Upon hearing Russell's response, Gwen didn't speak further; she simply nodded.
Then, under...
"Almost done..."
Looking at the protagonist he had drawn in the manga, along with a series of various settings, Kazuya checked the time and said, "Kazumi will be back soon. Let's call it a day here."
As usual—
He prepared dinners.
His cooking style was Japanese cuisine.
Japanese cuisine was often very mild, living for a long time in Japan has made him adapt to the tongue of Japanese people, and now he has begun to like Japanese cuisine.
Hmm... besid...
The spinning wheel came to a stop.
Then, slowly, it disappeared, leaving only one prize that left Kazuya feeling somewhat speechless...
[Stone Mask]
In the world of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, when one wears this mask and applies blood to it, bone spikes emerge from within, penetrating the wearer's brain, transforming them into a vampire.
As a vampire, one gains a powerful physique, immortality, and the ability to survive even if their brain is pierced. They can surv...
Mr. Negative, possessed by the symbiote, was completely unable to resist Russell. He could only watch helplessly as Russell in his Serum form grabbed his neck and lifted him off the ground.
After lifting Mr. Negative, Russell released the symbiote possession on him and returned control of his body to Mr. Negative.
However, before Mr. Negative could feel relieved, he sensed an indescribable force.
The Negative energy within him rapidly dissipated under the suppression of t...
Although Russell's attitude seemed arrogant, Kingpin and Bullseye didn't find anything amiss.
The dominance and arrogance of Traveler had long spread throughout New York's underground world.
In their eyes, this was just Russell's normal style.
The only thing they couldn't figure out was why Russell had targeted Mr. Negative.
Although Russell claimed it was a personal grudge between him and Mr. Negative, both Kingpin and Bullseye knew very well that the two of them ...
In addition to inquiring about K'un-Lun and Dragon Bones from the Bakuto and his companions, Russell also asked them about information regarding the Dragon Bones.
Due to the K'un-Lun people's exceptional longevity, strength, and mastery of magical abilities, the people around them often mistook them for gods.
However, in reality, the gods were entirely different from the K'un-Lun people.
According to what the Bakuto and his companions said, K'un-Lun was a golden hol...
"Where is this—?"
After closing his eyes and entering sleep, Kazuya opened them again, he found that his surroundings had changed.
He was now in 19th-century England, in the year 1881.
His identity had transformed into that of a British policeman...
His name was "Jerry Copperdale."
"What on earth is going on...?" He shook his head, trying to sort out the memories in his mind.
His memories were incomplete, lacking any daily routine for this character...
Russell successfully obtained the answers he wanted.
After using completely unqualified surgical techniques, he curiously conducted a series of scientifically oriented academic research on the Bakuto trio. Through this process, the Bakuto trio revealed everything he wanted to know.
Originally, he planned to subject the Bakuto trio to the so-called prisoner's dilemma in order to obtain the answers he desired. However, after arriving at the safehouse, he changed his mind.

"Ugh—"
Kazuya, who had just woken up from his slumber, shook his neck and moved his somewhat stiff body. He didn't know why, but he felt unusually comfortable after this nap.
It made both his body and mind feel extremely refreshed.
"Phew... Anyway, the game is almost over."
After standing up and moving around a bit, he opened the window and looked at the bamboo forest outside. Kazuya sighed softly.
He had become familiar with everything in his dream. He knew wh...

So, she chose to slumber, leaving everything to Shiki and SHIKI.
Because, even though she was connected to The Root, it was as meaningless to her as a dream-like thing for magus.
For her, the laws governing the reorganization of microscopic phenomena, or even changing the system tree that originated the planets, were entirely achievable.
Indeed, it was something that a being called...

The personality of the girl beside him shifted slightly.
"What about the manga you mentioned?" After dinner, Shiki casually said to Kazuya, "Last time, you said you'd show me the manga you drew yourself, didn't you?"
"Ah, that's right." Kazuya retrieved a stack of books from his backpack.
"This is it. By the way, do you need me to read it to you?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you're still quite young, so have you learned all the characte...

Except for his skin turning black, most of Mr. Negative's appearance has turned white.
Although his appearance looks quite abnormal, it has to be said that he looks handsome in this form.
In Russell's opinion, Mr. Negative in this form is much handsomer than his normal human form.
In his black and white appearance, Mr. Negative now holds a samurai sword snatched from a Hand ninja. He holds the sword i...
Murakami's close combat skills weren't weak.
After all, he had received formal K'un-Lun education.
However, he still hadn't expected that he, who had initiated the attack, would be sent flying with a punch from Russell.
Not only was he hit, but what made it worse was the astounding power behind Russell's fist.
If it weren't for his Qi cultivation and the nourishing of his body by the Dragon Bone, that punch alone could have taken him out.
As Murakami was sen...
"Hmm?"
The Head of the Ryougi family, who was in conversation with Kazuya, seemed to sense something and said, "It looks like Shiki is here."
"Huh?"
Kazuya turned slightly, but the room's door remained motionless. He wondered how the old man had detected someone's arrival.
"Don't worry about it," The head of the Ryougi family said, closing his eyes. "Come in, Shiki."
Whoosh—
As the door opened, a small girl, around five or six years old, with twin tails a...

"Oh, yes, I remember now. You're the Kurokawa-Ojisan from back then," Rin Tohsaka exclaimed as if she had just realized. "Um, you always had me call you 'Onii-chan,' even though you're like twenty years older."
"Oh, you actually remember?" This time, Kazuya was surprised. Back then, Rin ...

Russell didn't even need to use the power of the Symbiote. With just Bullet Curving and a bit of his enhanced strength, he could easily take care of these crazy ninjas wielding cold weapons.
At this moment, he held a modified Glock 34 in one hand and a samurai sword he picked up in the other, descending floor by floor.

Dodging bullets is both a science and a mystical art.
For the Hand ninjas, they possessed abundant experience and adept skills in dodging bullets.
Those Hand ninjas who were not skilled at dodging bullets had already turned to dust.
In the technologically advanced 21st century, sticking to traditions came with a price.
However, the first two Hand ninjas who rushed forward wouldn't have imagined encountering bullets that defied all logic.

"Kurokawa Kazuya, is it? Hmm... It seems like a regular visit," Said Tohsaka Tokiomi, looking at Kazuya at the front door. "Aoi, please, bring him in."
"I understand," Tohsaka Tokiomi's wife, Tohsaka Aoi also known as Zenjou Aoi, nodded and said, "But, dear... are your hands alright?"
"Ah... this?" Tohsaka Tokiomi looked at the Command Seals on his hand and said, "It's alright. I've applied a hidden magecraft. He won't be able to detect it, or if he can, it would imply some magi...
"Alright, I've called the editor, so we'll be able to see Kohana tonight."
Back home, after making the phone call, Kazuya spoke to his sister.
"Yeah... That's great. It's been a while since I saw Kohana..." Kazumi lay lazily on the bed, looking like she had been tired from this trip.
From her perspective, this trip had indeed been quite interesting.
They had traveled through several countries and experienced many different things. Although... she had been kidnapped...
Russell had no idea what exactly Kingpin was preparing, but whatever it was, it took him a whole week to get ready.
2 AM.
Manhattan.
Midtown.
Russell had originally intended to sleep, but he received a call from Kingpin a little after 11 PM.
If Kingpin wasn't his current employer, he wouldn't have considered going out in the middle of the night.
A bright full moon hung in the night sky, casting an ethereal glow over the bustling Midtown of Manhattan. ...
Primitive demon, Beast!
Although Russell didn't know which dimension Beast was from, the fact that the Hand was still active suggested that Beast wasn't an ambitious demon.
Otherwise, with the way the Hand operated, they would have been eliminated long ago by the Supreme Sorcerer Ancient One and the Sorceress Kamar-Taj.
Regarding the origins of the Hand, Russell had two versions in his memory.
One was from 1588, when a Japanese nation individual named Kagenobu Yos...
Failure—
Garfield watched as Kazuya picked up the handgun. His head was spinning, and then he passed out...
Indeed, he should have used the handgun first. Ordinary people couldn't dodge bullets, but...
It was a matter of his pride as a magus...
His magical abilities were lacking, so he thought of using this method to enhance the power of his magecraft...
Inside the magical device he had created, there was indeed gasoline, but there was no ignition device. ...
