Summary
Jotaro and Joseph discuss their next actions. Jotaro, ignoring Joseph’s suggestion to return to their hotel, heads into the crowd. Joseph worries about Holy, as she only has three days left.
Polnareff, bruised and exhausted, inspects the north area of Al-Darb al-Ahmar in search of the Stand user who summoned the monsters attacking him. In spite of his vertigo, Polnareff musters all of his fighting spirit, preparing for another assault. He suddenly hears the sound of horses approaching, and is attacked by a Roman chariot. He acts too late, and his leg gets run over. Before even coming to his senses, the chariot knocks him out. Polnareff is approached by a mummy-like figure who delights in taking out one of the members of the Joestar group and disappears in the Cairo bustle.
In 1908, a British explorer named E. Stevenson took part in an expedition to the Valley of the Kings. Despite being widely anticipated, it didn't bring any satisfactory results. Only afterwards were some papyrus documents unearthed. After they were deciphered and assigned the name The Genesis of Universe, E. Stevenson disappeared. On January 1, 1913, he died of a heart attack while writing a summary of the documents, which, despite their age, contained the entire history of Egypt up to the present day. The Genesis of Universe soon disappeared. With no evidence, his writings were dismissed as fits of madness.
Joseph and Avdol, while returning to the hotel, suddenly sense an enemy nearby. Unable to fight in a crowded area, they head to an alley and call out their Stands. To their utter bewilderment, instead of an alley, the two find themselves at the gates of the underworld. In front of them were 42 judges and a scale with a feather and a beating heart. To see if it's an illusion, Avdol unleashes Magician's Red’s flames upon them. Joseph, who, through Hermit Purple, determined that this is not the case, tried to stop him. It was too late; the 42 men cry out in pain before being turned to ash along with the gates and the scales. Joseph tries to calm down Avdol, who becomes extremely distressed after seemingly doing something unforgivable. At the end of the alley, they see an old man holding a papyrus in his hands. He tells them about his Stand, The Genesis of Universe, and introduces himself as The Scribe Ani. He tells them about the crusades, and a whole army appears in front of Joseph and Avdol. One of the soldiers charges at Joseph and manages to cut his cheek. Avdol, now knowing that they're not real people, cuts through the army that stands in his way, with Joseph following behind. Their road is suddenly obstructed by a giant sphinx. Joseph wraps Hermit Purple around an emergency ladder, grabs Avdol, and climbs up to the fourth floor. They break through the emergency exit and finally get away from their pursuers. At the end of the hallway, they see an Egyptian ship with countless warriors advancing towards them.
Night falls, Jotaro is looking for Joseph. He asks a street vendor if he's seen him, but, instead of answering directly, he tries to make Jotaro buy a bottle of perfume in exchange for the information. Jotaro caves in, so the vendor tells him about 2 foreigners entering an alley.
They barely manage to avoid the ship's attack. The rubble begins falling off everywhere, accumulating in the ground. From the rubble, emerges a statue of the high priest Pinedjem. It swings its fist at Joseph. He dodges it but loses his balance and trips, as another fist approaches him. Avdol tries to help, but Joseph is out of reach. Suddenly Polnareff shows up and shoves Joseph out of the way. The statue leaps at them. Polnareff prepares to strike, but, before Silver Chariot’s blade reaches the statue, it turns back to rubble which completely buries him. When Avdol tries to help him, he gets stabbed in the chest by a Roman soldier and collapses to the ground. Ani mocks the group for their fear of death; he kicks Avdol and spits on him as he moans in pain. Joseph and Polnareff split and run towards Ani, aiming to strike him at the same time. They, however, only manage to graze his Stand, as, behind him, emerges a Roman army, raining arrows on the two. As they futilely try to avoid them, they bump into an unseen wall and lose consciousness. The old man, satisfied, closes the book as the army behind him disappears.
The Scribe Ani is browsing The Genesis of Universe to find the right way to finish off Joseph, Polnareff, and Avdol. He them hears Jotaro's micking voice behind him. In spite of Joseph's and Ani's warnings, he is sure that he'll be able to use Star Platinum before the old man finishes reading the selected passage. Unbeknownst to him, he had already summoned the beast-goddess Ammit under the road. Joraro stumbles in the middle of a punch as the ground erupts beneath him revealing the demon Ammit.
