The Green Baby slowly opened its mouth towards Father Pucci. Instead of a baby's gums, its mouth was filled with dense, sharp teeth, as if capable of gnawing through anything.
Pucci did not flinch. He extended his intact hand, his fingertips trembling slightly but firmly, offering it to the Green Baby, along with the bone in his hand.
It was his own bone, still warm, stained with the blood that had spilled when White Snake had just cut him.
The Green Baby extended its small green hand and grasped the Father's finger, not just the finger bone.
Without hesitation, it lowered its head, opened its tooth-filled mouth, and bit down!
"Ugh—!"
Pucci grunted, intense pain radiating from his fingertip, but he forcibly endured it, not pulling his hand back. He calmly watched as the Green Baby gnawed and swallowed his finger and bone together.
He could see his flesh and blood being easily gnawed and swallowed, the sound of bones breaking clearly audible, yet his heart grew increasingly calm, a sense of glory rising within him.
This was not merely physical consumption; he felt his soul, will, and even the concept of his existence being greedily absorbed by the other party, but at the same time, this was also a fusion.
However, at the peak of this extreme pain and on the verge of being completely consumed, a change occurred.
A sharp pain suddenly erupted, and another disc popped out from the top of the Father's head. It was a Stand disc, a gravity-related Stand called 'Tractioner,' which was the reason the Father could resist Time Stop before.
Just a few days ago, for some unknown reason, the Father suddenly discovered that he could carry other Stands. He could operate two Stands simultaneously, but now, this Stand was ejected for some reason.
And the Green Baby's gnawing and absorption continued to accelerate.
The moment he lost Tractioner, Pucci felt a sense of exhaustion, but the Green Baby's "fusion" process abruptly accelerated!
No longer simply gnawing, the Green Baby's body seemed to lose its solid form, beginning to "flow" and spread upwards along Pucci's bitten arm like a viscous, living green liquid!
"Ah ah ah—!!!"
Pucci let out a horrific scream. This had already far exceeded the realm of physical pain. His chest immediately shattered, and the substances poured directly in, beginning to greedily absorb his internal organs.
This bizarre scene even made Dio's remnants twitch their eyes. They had indeed seen Lord Dio eat people, and they had seen countless times more brutal and ferocious acts of torture.
But they had never seen Lord Dio eat people like this before. Previously, Lord Dio would elegantly suck people dry.
"However, it's normal. After all, Lord Dio is in a child's state now. It's perfectly normal for children not to mind table manners..."
"Yes, that's right."
But they quickly convinced themselves. Their mindless loyalty and idealized view of Dio allowed them to easily deceive their own thoughts.
Returning to the Father, the Green Baby's substance was like living strong acid, or countless tiny roots, forcibly fusing with his flesh, bones, nerves, and even every single cell.
His arm deformed first, his skin stained an eerie green, muscles unnaturally swelling and twisting, and then it continued to change.
The fused parts emitted a grating "sizzling" sound, as if two different life forms were intensely clashing, compromising, and finally forcibly copulating.
The green "liquid" quickly covered his shoulders and chest, spreading throughout his body, transforming his very life.
Pucci's body began to melt and deform like a candle. His limbs were stretched, his joints groaned under the strain, his spine unnaturally bent and straightened. He was like a lump of dough being kneaded at will in someone's hands.
His head was also enveloped by the green substance, his facial contours fluctuating violently between melting and reshaping, sometimes clear, sometimes turning into a mass of wriggling green tissue.
Throughout the entire process, Pucci's screams were incessant, interspersed with the terrible sounds of bones breaking and muscles tearing. His body was like a lump of dough being wantonly kneaded by an invisible hand, being forcibly reshaped into another form.
The Green Baby had completely disappeared; it had transformed into this living, self-aware substance that was transforming Pucci, and its Stand had also merged into Pucci at this moment.
Dio's will contained within his finger bone, the soul energy of thirty-six sinners, and everything of Pucci himself, were all madly stirred and fused in this terrifying process.
Who knows how long it passed, perhaps minutes, perhaps an eternity.
The wriggling, terrifyingly sounding green substance finally began to stabilize and solidify.
A new silhouette gradually became clear.
The fusion was complete.
A brand new existence stood in place. His height was much taller than Pucci's original, his physique more robust and well-proportioned, filled with a non-human sense of power, even reminding the remnants of Lord Dio's former grandeur.
His skin was no different from Pucci's of old, only smoother and more elastic, with eyelashes and eyebrows several points longer, possessing an eerie beauty.
His face clearly showed no change, yet everyone could feel that he was different now. He was now carrying Lord Dio's life, and after the plan was complete, Lord Dio would be reborn through his body.
The Father slowly raised his hands, gazing calmly. His injuries had completely recovered.
"...Fusion... is complete..."
He said slowly. Although C-Moon was not yet fully conceived, it was only a matter of time. Once the two Stands were completely fused, C-Moon would naturally be born.
Then, as long as he reached Cape Canaveral at the appropriate time and received the baptism of gravity, the plan would be completely finished. He would put an end to the Joestar family.
And then, in the new world, he would let Dio become a god!
He could feel that even though Dio did not yet exist, Dio's consciousness was indeed fused within his body, just as he had said before.
When the plan was completely finished, Dio might be able to be reborn through the new world's counterpart. At that time, he would be able to use the power of the Heaven Plan to ascend to the eternal heaven he had always wanted to reach, completing the ultimate evolution of the spirit.
And in the new world, almost all people from the old world would completely die in one disaster after another, utterly destroyed in accelerated time, becoming a similar yet different flower in the new world.
They would be completely unable to resist Dio and him, who had completed the Heaven Plan, and could only accept their fate.
However, they would also fully know everything they were about to experience, so they could reach a state of peace of mind. This was the true Heaven.
This was not only for their own peace of mind, but also for all humanity, to let all humanity ascend to Heaven!
By then, everyone would have enlightenment, and they would all achieve happiness. Those who are enlightened are always happy!
This was the great Heaven Plan!
