Chapter 212 The Fearsome Ability!

Black Shadow stood quietly behind Kuzuki, and after a while, it disappeared into thin air, merging into Kuzuki’s body.

After spending half a month in the Training Space, Kuzuki had basically mastered the movement of his Stand, and was now testing the limits of its various abilities.

“How weak…” Kuzuki compared the difference between his main body and his Stand, and frowned deeply.

Even before obtaining his Stand, Kuzuki had been considering this matter.

Would the Stand be stronger than the main body?

The answer was no; the Stand is an image condensed from the spiritual energy within a living being, and the physical body’s strength has little impact on the Stand.

(There are 2 theories in Jojo, one is that the Stand is produced by the body’s life energy, and the other is that the Stand is an image condensed from spiritual energy; the latter theory came later, so it is adopted here.)

Dio, a vampire, had a physical body that exceeded human limits, but his Stand’s strength was not as great as Jotaro’s, who was human.

Kuzuki’s main body was too strong; if he could easily obtain a Stand that surpassed his main body’s strength with just a simple arrow, then that strength would come too easily.

“It’s a Close-Range Strength Type Stand… hmm, the destructive power is not bad… if compared to other Stands, not his main body.”

Stands can be classified into 3 types based on their operating methods: Close-Range Strength Type, Long-Range Control Type, and Long-Range Automatic Control Type.

Close-Range Strength Type Stands have strong attack strength and are usually humanoid in appearance, but their range is short, and they can only exert their maximum ability within a certain distance; they often activate their special abilities through hand attacks or contact with the target, so if their hands are cut off, they may not be able to exert their abilities.

Long-distance manipulation type Stands have relatively weak Attack power and cannot be controlled precisely, but they can be manipulated over a relatively long distance.

The Stand User usually keeps a low profile, avoids direct attacks on the Main Body, and uses wide-range Attack Methods to counter their enemies.

Due to sensory sharing, they can also perform reconnaissance or sentry work.

Long-distance automatic manipulation type Stands can move freely away from the Main Body, making it completely safe from attack.

However, the Stand User cannot control it freely according to their will, nor can they share the Stand’s senses, so the Main Body is unaware of the Stand’s status.

Typically, they possess strong Endurance and special Attack Methods, which are triggered according to certain rules and conditions.

The only way to eliminate this type of Stand is to directly defeat the Main Body, but there are exceptions where the Main Body dies, and the Stand remains active.

Kuzuki’s Stand is of the first type, but it only possesses the most basic Ability, and its Special Ability has not yet awakened.

The so-called Stand Ability Value is evaluated based on 6 values: “Destructive Power”, “Speed”, “Range”, “Sustainability”, “Precision”, and “Growth”.

Generally, they are divided into 5 ranks: A (Excellent), B (Good), C (Equivalent to Humans), D (Poor), and E (Very Poor).

After a series of tests, Kuzuki’s Stand Ability Value is: Destructive Power: A, Speed: B, Range: C, Sustainability: B, Precision: B, Growth: A.

Although the Value may not be specific, it can be understood through an example.

Its Strength is approximately 50 tons, its Speed is close to the speed of sound, it can only move within a 3-meter radius centered on Kuzuki, it can stay outside for over 10 minutes (which is meaningless for Close-Range Strength Type Stands, as they can simply be recalled and released again, with almost no effect), and its precision is high enough to cut a fly’s wings in mid-air without harming its body.

Since it was newly obtained, its Growth was high, and its Special Ability had not been developed yet.

(For example, [The High Priestess] could Change shape and control minerals, while [Justice] could manipulate others through Mist and create illusions, which were its Special Abilities.)

Compared to Kuzuki’s Main Body, such data was utterly useless, with every aspect being completely outclassed.

However, he didn’t feel particularly disappointed, as he had expected this from the start.

In short, Kuzuki valued a Stand’s Special Ability more than its basic abilities.

Even a Stand with all 6 Attributes at A-rank would be insignificant in his eyes, and only a Stand with unique and special abilities, like those possessed by Stand Possessing, would be worthy of his concern.

For instance, Kuzuki’s target, the vampire Dio who had obtained the Light Ring, possessed a Stand Ability that allowed him to ‘Stop time’ and ‘move in stopped time’, 2 abilities that made him a formidable foe.

That was essentially Time Stop!

Even among the various abilities in the Multiverse Endless, it was an Absolute top-tier ability.

This ability was so overpowered that even a little development would make it impossible for Kuzuki to handle.

Even if Dio hadn’t obtained the Light Ring, if he were to develop this ability slightly, Kuzuki would be no match for him and would be killed in the first exchange of the battle, without even realizing it, as time would be stopped… assuming Kuzuki tried to Improving and fight head-on.

Fortunately, Dio was likely still in the process of developing his ability and was focused on extending the duration of Time Stop.

“If, after obtaining the Light Ring, he becomes obsessed with its immense strength and tries to master controlling the Light Ring, then it would be manageable. Jikan Teishi… just thinking about it sends shivers down my spine… if that’s a genuine ‘Time Stop’ ability, rather than some sort of ‘sealed space’, ‘accelerated personal time’, or ‘time fragment insertion’.”

How large is Dio’s ‘Time Stop’ range?

It must exceed a light-year.

Since he obtained the Stopping Time Ability, he has frequently started training.

If it were limited to a certain region or country, other humans would definitely notice the anomaly.

Only if the range exceeds a light-year, and he uses the Ability frequently for a year after obtaining it, would it go unnoticed by any individual on Earth.When Dio activates Stillness Time, within the space affected by his Ability, atomic motion is still.

If Dio’s Ability’s range isn’t wide enough, then Earth’s orbital trajectory, process, and position would change, producing various information misalignments.

This kind of thing is impossible for countries to ignore.

To bring all activity within a light-year of space to a standstill, the Energy required would be astronomical.

Even if the entire Earth’s energy were produced through mass-energy conversion, it wouldn’t be enough to completely still even a single atom.

So, if Dio’s Stand is truly Stillness Time, rather than achieving a Stillness Time effect through some other Ability, then his Stand is terrifying.

“After all, what my Stand Ability truly is, should manifest now…”

Kuzuki continued to familiarize himself with his Stand in the Training Space until one day, he suddenly felt a change… like a 16-year-old boy’s instincts awakening after seeing an adult video, at that moment, Kuzuki sensed his Ability.

It was a change he discovered while sparring with his Stand.

(He was exchanging blows to test his defense, because a Stand’s injuries affect the Main Body, Kuzuki wanted to test his defense).

After being hit by the Stand’s punch, Kuzuki’s subsequent attacks all missed, none landed!

This was an impossible occurrence; for a martial artist of his level to make such a mistake… There’s only one explanation, his Stand has awakened.

After constant use, Kuzuki has finally gained some mastery over his Ability (though he doesn’t understand it), but with just this mastery, he clearly senses the terrifying power of this Ability.

There is no strongest Stand, only the strongest Stand User ── these words ring true indeed…

But…

“I wanted an Ability related to Time and Space, but not like this… Just because the name is related, what’s the point in that…” A Black Shadow disappeared behind Kuzuki, who felt a bit sullen.
