People in most worlds were watching the screen of the multiverse projection, just like the people in the Naruto World.
They felt that Joseph was doomed. Kars clearly wasn't going to let him go.
Now that Joseph had used all his schemes and even had his hand cut off, could he possibly have some hidden move?
For example, like that Might Guy, directly sacrificing his life to open the Gate of Death and nearly kicking Six Paths Madara to death.
Everyone waited in anticipation, but in their hearts, Joseph was already a dead man.
The video continued to play.
By the volcano, Joseph wailed incessantly, clearly in immense Pain. Beside him, Kars maintained a joyful expression.
It was as if he wasn't listening to Joseph's screams, but rather to some pleasant symphony.
"That is a god..."
At this time, Straizo also spoke. His pupils were trembling. Straizo, who had shown high-quality performance until now, was terrified at this moment. Yes, he was afraid.
Straizo looked at Kars's figure and said with a trembling voice, "That guy has become a god. We humans simply cannot defeat a god; we can only obey him!!!!"
Straizo, who had intended to kill Kars earlier, finally realized at this moment.
Just how terrifying Kars had become after becoming the Ultimate Life Form.
This guy was no longer a biological being, but a god. There was no power on Earth that could defeat him anymore.
At this time, Joseph stopped wailing, his body trembling.
"What? Did you just say something? JoJo?" At this moment, Kars pricked up his ears as if listening to what Joseph was saying.
"!!!!"
Cold sweat dripped from Joseph's forehead. His expression of Pain vanished, replaced by one of extreme determination.
"Aaaaaah!! Take this!!!" Joseph shouted, then he stood up and kicked out at Kars, yelling, "Hamon Overdrive!!!"
Golden Hamon/ripple swirled around Joseph's leg as he kicked toward Kars.
Outside the video.
This scene caused the people (and demons) of the Demon Slayer World to widen their eyes slightly.
They were no strangers to Hamon Overdrive.
Among them, Kokushibo, the Upper Rank One, narrowed his six eyes slightly. He reached out and placed his hand on his abdomen.
There was a blade scar there that had not yet healed; this was the spot where he had been attacked by Tanjiro using 'Hamon/ripple'.
It was also because of this strike that Kokushibo had retreated. Due to this wound, he couldn't even utilize sixty percent of his full strength.
At the time, he was being overwhelmed by the 'Hashira' of the Demon Slayer Corps. In desperation, Kokushibo could only heavily injure one Hashira before leaving with the other Upper Moons.
The Hamon/ripple Tanjiro used was very weak, but Hamon/ripple was like a Breathing Technique specifically created to counter 'demons'.
Tanjiro could injure him even without much training; one could imagine if the Demon Slayer Corps were given enough time to develop.
Then, eliminating demons would be a very simple matter.
Now, Kokushibo knew which world the Ripple Breathing in Tanjiro's hands came from.
Inside the video.
Hum—!!!
Accompanied by the sound of Hamon/ripple.
Joseph extended his leg and launched an attack at Kars. This was his last resort, though he knew full well that this move couldn't possibly land an effective blow on Kars.
But even if he couldn't damage Kars, he was determined to land one final kick.
"Ha?"
At that moment, Kars showed a look of utter disdain. Watching the incoming kick, he reached out with his left hand without a word and shouted, "Hamon Overdrive?!!"
Boom—!!!
Kars's elbow slammed directly into Joseph's knee, and blood sprayed from the impact.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!"
Joseph let out an unimaginable scream of agony as he was sent flying backward. He had clearly suffered an inconceivable blow.
Seeing Joseph in such a wretched state, Straizo cried out in worry, "JOJO!!!"
"Humph~" Kars wore a look of pleasure. He gave his hair a slight flick as he looked at Joseph nearby.
The camera zoomed in on Joseph's knee. It was starting to 'melt,' and faint white smoke was rising from it.
Joseph stared at his own knee, his voice trembling, "Ah!!! What is this impact?!! It's melting?! How can this be?!! My leg is melting?!!!!"
At this moment, Kars finally launched his counterattack. With just one ordinary strike, he had reduced Joseph to this state.
His knee was actually melting—it was truly unbelievable!!
"What?! This effect!!!" Straizo seemed to realize something and looked up at Kars in disbelief.
"Could it be?!"
Joseph also seemed to have realized something, as he was a user of this power himself.
"That's right! This is Hamon/ripple!!!"
Kars waved his hand grandly, pointing at Joseph in mockery. "You fool! Did you think that I, who have conquered even the sun, would be unable to do this?! You idiot!!!"
"W... What?!!!" Joseph's voice was trembling. How could Hamon/ripple possess such terrifying power!!!
Ordinary Hamon/ripple could affect the human body, but the strongest Hamon/ripple master he had ever seen was Lisa Lisa, and even she hadn't reached the point where she could use Hamon/ripple to melt a human body.
Kars mocked Joseph and Straizo, saying, "And judging by the effect, I can produce Hamon/ripple hundreds of times stronger than yours!!!"
"Hamon/ripple hundreds of times stronger?!!!!"
Straizo also understood the principles of Hamon/ripple. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he thought in shock, "That's equivalent to being scorched by the sun!!"
"The flesh will be liquefied, or even vaporized!!"
As Straizo thought this, the camera focused on Joseph's knee.
This was proof enough of just how terrifying the Hamon/ripple used by Kars was.
Kars was like a hunter toying with his prey. He asked Joseph, "How does it feel to be hit by your own Hamon/ripple?"
"Ugh, AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
At that moment, the pain surged, and Joseph screamed in agony.
Kars's expression was exceptionally delighted. He smiled and said, "A good answer. For the sake of those screams, I'll give you a quick death!"
"JOJO!!" Straizo shouted in despair.
Kars began walking toward Joseph.
Joseph lay on the ground, his face filled with despair.
'It's over. I'm going to die. There's no hope left.'
Joseph's desperate inner monologue was conveyed to everyone. Indeed, he currently saw no chance of a comeback.
