brows furrowed deeply.
He had lost contact with his Stand; no, to be precise, his Untouchable seemed to be enveloped by some special environment.
As a long-distance operative Stand, Untouchable could be released by Lin Jie Dian to a distance of nearly 20 kilometers, and after Lin Jie Dian obtained the rare and peerless advanced characteristic, Momo Amplification, this distance reached a terrifying 200 kilometers.
The Stand Untouchable was unexpectedly obtained by Lin Jie Dian when he was shot by an arrow in the initial trial world, the JOJO derivative world, so it could be said that it held a sense of destiny for him.
This was a very difficult special Stand to control. For a long time, Lin Jie Dian remained unknown because his greatest serendipity, the Stand, could not be well controlled.
But as he gradually mastered this Stand, Lin Jie Dian quickly rose to prominence, becoming a well-known long-range hunter in Space.
Untouchable

It had almost no direct attack capabilities, which made Lin Jie Dian once believe that his Stand was not suitable for combat. However, during an incident, he unexpectedly discovered that his Stand would deflect bullets unintentionally shot at it by enemies.
Not just bullets, but also sword light, flames, and rays—this Stand possessed a certain degree of deflection capability, and its intensity was linked to his Mental strength.
From then on, he gradually began to understand and master his Stand. Initially, it was used for defense, but soon, he found a better usage...
He actively attacked his own Stand, found the right angle, and used Untouchable's refraction ability to deliver a sudden, fatal blow. At the same time, this Stand's special ability also largely exempted him from the possibility of his body being harmed if his Stand suffered damage.
Furthermore, because his attack target was always his own Stand, many Reincarnators' abilities like crisis premonition and killing intent perception could not effectively prevent it.
In a sense, this was the perfect Stand most suitable for him.
The reason Lin Jie Dian became a shooting-type Reincarnator was not because this type was the most convenient for harming others or for easily killing other Reincarnators, but because he... was afraid of getting hurt.
Lin Jie Dian thus found his direction for growth. He focused his abilities on sniper power and his own Mental strength, becoming a rare shooting-specialized Reincarnator with extreme Mental values.
Unlike Reincarnators who rely on reactions, dynamic vision, and prediction for shooting, Lin Jie Dian only needed to maintain a sufficiently long distance and utilize the characteristic that non-Stand users cannot see Stands to execute bizarre snipes.
He gradually grew into the renowned hunter he is in Space today. Although a few people knew the origin of his abilities, very few could counter them.
Because of Untouchable's ultra-long range attribute, this Stand could operate at an extremely far distance from Lin Jie Dian himself, making it almost impossible to determine the Stand's location based on Lin Jie Dian's position.
Only when Reincarnators who were also Stand users appeared could some countermeasures be made.
"Team Leader Lin, Golden Emperor has really appeared. It's said that Karp is also approaching. That sea area must have turned into a special large-scale event. Aren't we going to participate?"
"Yes, Team Leader Lin, you didn't succeed in sniping Tao Bai Bai before, did you? Our current points are still 0, which is very unstable. I heard that Moon Demon and Flame Demon are both there. If one of us gets hunted, we'll lose singularity points at the end!"
The three Reincarnators around Lin Jie Dian, two Women, were somewhat agitated at this moment. One of them had long red wavy hair, wore black gloves on both hands, and her pupils were a vibrant rainbow color.
The other had a high ponytail and carried a katana with a red background and black pattern sheath at her waist. Her right hand had very long knuckles, much longer than an ordinary person's hand, and the excessively long hand did not appear slender and beautiful, but rather grotesquely resembled a withered branch.
The Woman with wavy hair had recently joined the team and was clearly very concerned about singularity points. As a lone wolf, she was not weak to have survived until now. The reason she joined this team was entirely due to Lin Jie Dian's reputation.
Being in a team with such a great killer significantly increased both the chances of kills and safety.
However, at this moment, after realizing the abnormality of this world, she began to want to participate further in such an unusual mission. At the very least, she should go to the periphery, where, relying on her own and Team Leader Lin's long-range killing capabilities, it would be easy to gain something.
Before Lin Jie Dian could speak, the last cornerstone of the team, the silent giant, nearly two and a half meters tall, who still appeared as wide as a wall even when sitting on the ground, codenamed Obsidian, spoke. He was Lin Jie Dian's original teammate and one of the few who had survived, the team's defense-specialized Reincarnator.
"Do not interfere with Lin's judgment, otherwise…"
"You will die."
Obsidian's voice was low. He sat on the ground, silently gripping some sand and soil in his hand, then squeezed tightly. With a terrifying crunching sound, the sand was forcibly kneaded into a rock.
Obsidian flicked his finger, and this small piece of rock was thrown out with immense force, landing in the sea, skipping several times before sinking.
In past missions, Obsidian had witnessed teammates who died due to greed. He understood Lin Jie Dian best; the other party was completely different from the "cold and vicious sniper" portrayed by the outside world. He valued life very much.
Lin Jie Dian had previously used his Stand to observe the situation on Skuld Island, even witnessing the battle between Moon Demon and Tao Bai Bai. He cautiously refrained from shooting at Moon Demon, precisely because he feared he couldn't kill her with one blow. Such famous Reincarnators always had many trump cards.
So he wanted to kill Tao Bai Bai, but he didn't expect that even after blasting through the opponent's chest, he still didn't get the kill.
Finally, in the chase between Flame Demon, Moon Demon, and Enel, he fired continuously, severely injuring Moon Demon, and his Stand pursued Moon Demon. However, after a series of whispers, he began to lose perception of his Stand's condition.
He wasn't injured, which meant the Stand wasn't harmed, but it was blocked by something…
"We will follow behind Golden Emperor's group, but without my command, you are not allowed to enter the target sea area. Enel in this world… is unusually strong."
The Woman with wavy hair, Michelin, pulled out a capsule, went to the seaside, pressed a button, and threw it. After a huge puff of smoke, a rather cartoonish small speedboat appeared on the sea.
The four followed behind the large fleet, heading towards the Skuld sea area. Mogu Town had been receiving a large number of ships every moment recently, with people from all over the world still heading towards this sea area due to the uncertain news.
One could only say that the allure of Golden Township far exceeded Bai Cangshu's expectations.
Golden Emperor's massive ship was in front, followed by ships from various factions. Everyone tacitly avoided any communication. Lin Jie Dian followed far behind, simultaneously sensing the condition of his Stand.
Less than thirty minutes later, the unhurried large fleet finally arrived at a special sea area.
The color of this sea area turned pitch black, and many floating corpses began to drift on the sea. The corpses included those wearing Marine uniforms and various civilian clothes, suggesting that a fierce conflict had erupted between the two sides.
Golden Emperor, Tezolo, lowered his eyelids and simply waved his hand.
"Continue forward."
He wanted to confirm the authenticity of the so-called Golden Township before the World Government. He knew very well that gold was his value, and if too much gold truly appeared, it would depreciate.
In the face of such value, the lives of ordinary people were insignificant. If necessary, he was willing to pay a high price to erase everything.
On Lin Jie Dian's side, the wavy-haired Woman's eyes turned white, and her body slightly lifted from the boat. The atmosphere instantly became agitated, and her Mental power began to spread to an extremely distant place.
She passed over the many floating corpses on the sea and finally saw Skuld Island and its surrounding sea area, which were shrouded in something like a black mist.

"That island seems to be obscured by something, there's a layer of black mist…"
"I'll go in and see again."
She was a Reincarnator specialized in Mental attributes, very skilled in perception and spellcasting, and very proficient in using Mental power. At this moment, her senses instantly zoomed in; that layer of black mist was not a barrier.
It could not impede her entry.
Lin Jie Dian had already raised his gun at this moment, and the Woman simultaneously raised her hand. With Mental Link activated, all her perceptions would also be shared with Lin Jie Dian. Their combined abilities allowed for over-the-horizon sniping.
Obsidian also silently came to the bow of the ship, ready to respond to combat at any time. Only the sword-wielding Woman strangely held the katana's hilt with her index and middle fingers.
Whether it was Flame Demon or Moon Demon, when the Lin Jie Sniper team was complete, they feared neither. They were a complementary team, highly skilled in focused burst damage and kiting maneuvers.
As their vision zoomed in, giant, broken human faces appeared in their sight. The entire island seemed to be covered by a layer of black substance, making it indistinguishable whether it was charring left by something strongly electrocuted, or if it was inherently the same as the black mist.
Bang!
A huge impact sound drew Michelin's Mental attention. She looked over and saw a giant bird, over a hundred meters in size, fiercely stomping the ground, while on the ground, another monster wielding a black blade unleashed terrifying, lotus-like sword light.
It was Moon Demon…
Just as the two made their inference, they heard a dragon's roar.
Roar!
They turned their heads and saw a giant red dragon in the air, struck down by a red lotus.
"Ha~haha!"
A kind of manic laughter emanated from that figure's mouth. Michelin focused her gaze and saw a pink, tattered robe swaying amidst black lightning and purplish-black fluctuations. The character "Kill" was incredibly clear.
Seemingly sensing someone peeking, the figure turned to look into the air.
It was Tao Bai Bai!
Michelin's mind was greatly shaken as she saw Tao Bai Bai's red, distorted face, and then noticed his left arm, which seemed to be burning like fire, and the black patterns constantly flowing over his body.
Buzz!
Pitch-black lightning shot out from thin air, instantly crossing tens of nautical miles and directly piercing through Michelin's body.
Puff!
The Mental Link instantly broke. Lin Jie Dian felt somewhat dizzy. He hadn't even fired a shot, yet the pitch-black lightning had already injured Michelin.
Michelin suffered a backlash, blood oozing from her mouth and nose. She trembled uncontrollably, her muscles still spasming as she lay on the speedboat.
Her pale face, which she couldn't control, said,
"It's… it's Haki of the Conqueror…"
Haki of the Conqueror?!
Lin Jie Dian found it somewhat unbelievable. Could Tao Bai Bai possess Haki of the Conqueror of such intensity?!
To be able to precisely attack Michelin from such a long distance, whether it was Kenbunshoku Haki or Haki of the Conqueror, its intensity must already be at the Four Emperors level.
Whoosh whoosh~
The long, distinctive whistle of a large warship sounded.
Obsidian immediately turned around. He instantly appeared in front of the others at the stern of the ship, but upon seeing the scene before him, his pupils also constricted.
A warship with a figurehead of a large dog holding a bone was flying through the sky…
