TM : [180] Battle Ends
🕑 Added 2023-12-10 16:04:00 +0000 UTC"Was that Dio's time stop just now..." Jotaro Kujo moved his eyes away, deliberately looking at the approaching Stand in front, thinking to himself, 'The situation is not good... Just dealing with one Stand is already quite tricky, and now another time stop... Too dangerous! Moreover, the crucial part is that we can't say anything now... We can't say anything at all. Dio is nearby, watching. If we tell the old man and the others that Dio is coming, Dio will probably instantly know that we already have the concept of entering the world of [time stop]... That would be troublesome. Now, I can only make a slight move, and I don't even have enough time to throw a punch... I must make him use time stop a few more times to get used to it!"
Suddenly, it seemed like he thought of something as he shouted at the approaching Stand, "Everyone! Abdul's flames disappeared! Be careful, someone might ambush from the surroundings!"
...
"Tsk... Jotaro is really cautious. However, Muda Muda, the one destined for the final victory is me, Dio!"
...
"Hmm... This guy has no intention of revealing himself at all!" Kazuya looked at the Stand in front of him.
The current situation is a bit complicated...
They can only hide and constantly evade.
They can't do anything else; Dio just needs to stay hidden, and they can't launch an effective attack!
Moreover... Jotaro Kujo just said something deliberately. Could it be Dio...?
In the next moment, time stopped once again!
"This time, it's your turn! Jotaro Kujo!"
Dio, who could stop time again, quickly approached Jotaro Kujo, and his Stand, The World, appeared behind him.
"Die, Jotaro!"
Dio said, and his fist struck towards Jotaro's head! However—
"Ora ora—"
Plop—
"What... what is this?" Dio's face turned ugly as he looked at the hand that pierced through his chest from behind, held by Jotaro Kujo: "Wha... What's going on? How can he move within my stopped time? Impossible! This can't be!!!"
In the next moment, time began to flow again!
Dio was sent flying.
"Dio!" Kazuya and the others quickly looked over—
On the other side, Enya, who was originally hiding, ready to attack as soon as someone got injured, also ran out with an unpleasant expression.
Their plan was actually simple, but effective.
Vanilla Ice rushed in, breaking their formation.
Then, Dio used his Stand to stop time and launch an attack.
They didn't aim to kill them; just creating a small wound... a tiny wound.
Enya could then use her Stand, "Justice," to control that wound!
Her Stand had the ability to control wounds on others. If someone had many wounds, she could use them as a puppet.
If it was just an arm, she could also control that arm.
And if the controlled part was cut off? In that case, it would only increase the area of the wound, making it easier to control!
But... it failed!
It failed from the beginning.
Because—Jotaro Kujo could also move within that stopped time!
"Hmm? Dio, right now—"
In the next moment, before Dio could recover, all five of them took out flashlights and pointed them at Dio!
"Ultraviolet irradiation device!"
"Ahhhh—" Dio initially touched by these lights began to melt! Like ice encountering sunlight!
Bang—
In the next moment.
A person stood in front of him.
"Va... Vanilla Ice!?"
"Dio-sama, leave this to me!" Vanilla Ice blocked the ultraviolet irradiation device, and in the next moment, his face changed slightly.
The place he was irradiated also began to melt gradually.
"What is... this?"
"No more—"
Dio regretted a bit. If he hadn't turned him into a vampire, this wouldn't have happened.
However—there's no time to say these things now!
"The World! Time Stop!"
"Huff huff—" Dio, who was about to run away, suddenly looked ugly again. A layer of purple thorns had entwined around his legs.
"This... what is this? Joseph, that old man!"
Now, should he cut off his leg? No... not yet. It's daytime, and he can't escape too far; he can only stay in this mansion.
However—doing so would definitely make it difficult for him to fight against the group in front of him, especially with Jotaro seemingly dead or alive. And Jotaro Kujo can move within the stopped time!
"No... no more, time, time is up! However—"
Sure enough, Jotaro has already approached from over there—
He has stopped time for four seconds, the last second.
When he was about to cut off his leg, Jotaro Kujo had already run over!
Time began to flow—
"Ora—"
Jotaro Kujo's fist struck towards Dio!
"Eat this! Ripple Dash!"
Chichichichi—
At the same time, a golden light followed the purple Stand and stabbed towards Dio—
Bang bang—
"What—?"
"Muda muda muda muda muda!! Don't underestimate me! Jotaro!!" Dio roared, and his Stand, "The World," blocked Jotaro's fist. Meanwhile, his legs, entwined with purple thorns, were covered with ice!
Vaporization Freezing Technique!
Then—
Space Ripper Stingy Eyes!
A liquid from one eye suddenly stabbed out and pierced through Jotaro Kujo's neck!
"Ugh—"
Jotaro Kujo spat out blood, and the power of his Stand also weakened noticeably.
"Jotaro!!"
Stand is the manifestation of spiritual energy, and it has a weakness similar to Ripple - it gradually weakens when the breath disappears. For example, when Jotaro Kujo fought against Abdul at the beginning, the breath weakened due to the flames, and the Stand began to weaken.
"Not... not good!" Kazuya's expression changed.
The strongest, the only one able to move within that stopped time, Jotaro Kujo, suffered such an injury. Can he still play a role?
"Hehehe! This is the perfect moment—Justice!" Enya laughed. The damaged part of Jotaro Kujo's throat, instead of bleeding, formed a bottle cap-sized hole.
Even able to see the opposite—
"Enya, you fool—!"
But—Dio's expression changed, and in the next moment.
He stopped time...
Had to stop!
Vanilla Ice, who stood in front of him, had already been pulled out by Hierophant Green. In the next moment, he was about to face those ultraviolet irradiation devices.
He is a vampire and is not gradually transforming into a vampire like Vanilla Ice. He became a complete vampire a long time ago! If light shines on him, he'll die in a few seconds.
So, he must stop time and run away before that happens!
Swish—
His stand's hand shattered the Purple Haze Stand, and he was about to run forward without even looking—
But!
In the next moment, Star Platinum, appearing suddenly, delivered a powerful punch to his head—
"Ora ora—!!"
Star Platinum roared, although Jotaro Kujo couldn't speak due to his injuries, Star Platinum could!
"No... impossible—"
Can't breathe?
That won't kill him... at least not in a short time. Jotaro Kujo has fought in environments where he couldn't breathe underwater. Besides, Enya "kindly" stopped the bleeding.
This is what Dio is angry about. At a critical moment, she became a hindrance!
Dio roared, flew out, blood continuously flowing from his head.
Time stop also came to a halt.
"Ah... Ugh..." Dio's eyes were filled with killing intent as he covered his head, about to stand up. "I'll kill you... I'll kill you—"
However, in the end, he fell to the ground. Unable to stand—
"Why... why like this? Impossible... my legs... I don't need strength in my legs! I can't stand up! Head hurts... want to vomit—"
"Everyone! Don't just stand there!" Kazuya came to his sense and said, "Now everyone turn the ultraviolet irradiation devices towards Dio!"
"You won't succeed!!" Enya, with an unpleasant expression, stood up and said, "Justice—"
In the next moment, the room was filled with fog, blocking the light.
At the same time—
Jotaro Kujo's expression changed.
A force came from the area around his neck, pulling him forward.
"How could this be... I, DIO, actually feel so uncomfortable? Actually can't stand up because my head was damaged..." Dio's face looked ugly as he observed the situation: "Damn it! Now I must figure out what to do! Even though Enya is blocking in front, she alone cannot stop those Stand users. Vanilla Ice is melting, and his death is just a matter of time... Damn guy!!"
"Ora—"
In the next moment, with these sounds, the fog disappeared.
Enya lay there, but Jotaro Kujo also collapsed on the ground.
"Jotaro!" Kakyoin said, pointing the ultraviolet irradiation device at Dio once again, "Die, Dio!"
"Damn it—!!" Dio's face looked ugly.
At the same time, his body was entwined with Purple Haze once again.
Hierophant Green also followed along.
Ripple spread along as well.
Ripple, ultraviolet irradiation devices...
Directly led him to death—
"Jotaro!" After getting rid of Dio, Kazuya and the others ran over with unpleasant expressions.
"Jotaro..."
"Old... old man." Star Platinum spoke on behalf of Jotaro Kujo, but the once strong Star Platinum is now weakened.
"Wait! What do you want to say, it's not time to collapse now!"
Kazuya placed his hands on his chest, saying, "With this kind of injury, I can heal it!"
Zeppeli healed Jonathan's injuries using his life energy, even including the fractured neck bone.
This kind of thing, I can do it too.
This time, he expects a perfect ending.
So—
"Old... old man! What are you doing!" Star Platinum spoke on behalf of Jotaro Kujo.
"Ultimate... Ultimate Deep Passageway Ripple!!"
"This... what is this?"
"Although I don't know what's happening, look, Jotaro's injuries are healing." Kakyoin's face showed neither joy nor anger as he said, "But... Mr. Joestar, is getting older."
"Huff huff—" Kazuya breathed heavily, looking at the healed injuries of Jotaro Kujo, saying, "How is it? Recovered?"
"Old man!" Jotaro quickly supported him.
"Hahaha! Don't worry, I just transmitted the excess Ripple stored during this time, and now my body is still the same as before, after all... this time's goal is a big reunion, right?"
Kazuya laughed as he stood up.
"Indeed... recently, Mr. Joestar has become a bit younger, but now that I think about it carefully, he seems to have returned to his previous appearance."
"Really... If it weren't for this, I suddenly got younger, and I don't know how to explain it to Suzi Q. Now it's just right. Alright! Let's go—"
"Ah, let's go."
Jotaro sighed as he sat up: "Yare yare daze."
