Chapter 024: Myriad Transformations

After seeing off Lady Gremory, Wang Bo summoned his Stand.

Wang Bo's Stand was Superman, but he knew well that his Stand was not simply Superman; he had not revealed its true use.

Or rather, Wang Bo had not mastered the true ability of his Stand.

This was like Jotaro Kujo in the JoJo world. This third-generation JoJo initially thought his Star Platinum was just strong, fast, and precise, with no special ability.

But later, after fighting Dio, he learned that his Stand could stop time for five seconds.

The same was true for Wang Bo's Stand.

Superman was not the true ability of Wang Bo's Stand. After all, Wang Bo himself was Superman; the abilities his Stand possessed, Wang Bo actually had as well, only that for now the Stand was stronger and faster than Wang Bo.

Once Wang Bo grew, surpassing the Stand would not be a problem.

Thus, Stand·Superman was not Wang Bo's true ability at all.

But Wang Bo had never known how to master his Stand's true ability. This situation continued until not long ago, during the battle with Mephisto.

In that battle, Wang Bo used his Stand to wound Mephisto several times, and his Stand was stained with Mephisto's blood.

At that moment, the true ability of Wang Bo's Stand awakened.

But at that time, Wang Bo did not use it, because he wanted to keep a trump card.

For the true ability of his Stand was extremely terrifying.

In an empty room, Wang Bo looked at his Stand and, with a thought, his Stand underwent a tremendous transformation from face to body. The skin began to turn red, horns grew from the head, height expanded, and in the blink of an eye, a three-meter-tall demon appeared before Wang Bo.

This was none other than the Hell Lord who had been killed not long ago by Wang Bo, Lady Gremory, and Hela... Mephisto.

Wang Bo's thought changed again, and Mephisto began to transform into a pale-skinned, red-haired, tall woman wearing a crown... Lady Gremory.

But this change did not end. A few seconds later, as Wang Bo's thought shifted, Lady Gremory's hair turned black, her features became deeper, and she wore a cloak.

The Goddess of Death, Hela!

Finally, the Stand transformed once more, eventually returning to Superman.

Yes, this was the true ability of Wang Bo's Stand... Myriad Transformations!

As long as there was blood or cells, his Stand could transform into the owner of those cells. Of course, not only the appearance but also the inner nature, even abilities, could be used.

If Wang Bo's Stand transformed into Mephisto, then his Stand could use Mephisto's abilities.

However, this was not without limitations.

In fact, Wang Bo's Stand had three limitations in total.

The first limitation was that Wang Bo's Stand could only use abilities he had seen.

For example, according to the setting, Mephisto could convert magical energy into other abilities, such as superhuman strength, altering his own appearance and size, projecting illusions, manipulating memories, altering history, and high resistance to damage.

But in the recent battle, Mephisto only used superhuman strength, altering his own appearance, some magic, high resistance to damage, and super-fast regeneration.

Abilities like memory manipulation and history alteration were not used.

Therefore, the Mephisto transformed by Wang Bo's Stand could only use the abilities he had displayed; abilities like memory manipulation and history alteration were not used by Mephisto in that battle.

Thus, the Mephisto transformed by Wang Bo's Stand could not use such abilities.

By the same logic, Stand·Hela and Stand·Lady Gremory were the same; in that battle, many of their abilities were not used.

So Wang Bo's Stand could not use those abilities that were not displayed.

To be honest, in Wang Bo's view, his Stand might as well be called Copy rather than Myriad Transformations.

At least in Wang Bo's eyes, Copy was more fitting.

Back in the battle, when this ability awakened, Wang Bo instinctively hid his Stand's ability and secretly collected the blood of Lady Gremory and Hela.

Apart from Wang Bo, who fought with his Stand, both Mephisto, Hela, and Lady Gremory were injured, so collecting blood was perfectly normal.

As for the second limitation of Wang Bo's Stand, it was quantity.

Wang Bo's Stand could not endlessly collect blood to transform. His Stand could collect the blood of nine people in total. Besides the basic Stand·Superman, Wang Bo currently had the blood of three people.

Stand·Mephisto, Stand·Hela, and Stand·Lady Gremory.

Next, Wang Bo could collect the blood of five more people. Once these blood samples were collected, Wang Bo could no longer continue collecting blood.

That is, Wang Bo's Stand could transform up to nine times, excluding the basic Superman, a total of eight times.

Three had already been used.

So in Wang Bo's view, Myriad Transformations was far from qualified.

The third and final limitation was that the nine Stand forms were fixed.

Some people liked to play tricky moves, like collecting nine now, and when encountering something better, deleting one form and replacing it with another.

But Wang Bo's Stand could not do that.

He could not delete any form. That is, the nine forms of the Stand were fixed. Once decided, there was no way to regret or change.

And Wang Bo had already used three; the remaining five slots must be chosen with great care.

To be honest, if Wang Bo had known from the start that his Stand had such a flaw, he would never have collected the blood of Hela or Lady Gremory.

After all, these three were all magic users; Wang Bo would have preferred to collect some completely different systems.

But in reality, Wang Bo only understood that his Stand seemed to have such a flaw after collecting the blood of these three, but by then it was already too late.

However, on second thought, whether Mephisto, Hela, or Lady Gremory, they were all very powerful deities. Having his Stand use part of their abilities didn't seem too much of a loss.

So Wang Bo was not too discouraged; instead, he gladly accepted this.

Moreover, as he had just said, there were still five slots left; he just needed to be careful from now on.

At that moment, Wang Bo suddenly thought of someone.

The Goddess Athena.

Of course, not the Goddess Athena of the Marvel world, but the Goddess Athena of the Saint Seiya world.
