Chapter 227 The Unsolvable Time Stop?
Kuzuki suppressed his Intent to Kill and asked Jotaro:
“Jotaro, can you move during the Time Stop?”
Selling fish isn’t the issue, Jotaro suddenly felt a hint of suspicion, thinking that Kuzuki knew too much, even more than himself, who had just discovered he could move during Dio’s Time Stop.
How did Kuzuki find out so quickly?
Moreover, Kuzuki also knew many people’s Stand Abilities, even Dio’s Ability.
Isn’t that too strange?
Each individual’s Stand Ability is of utmost importance, and it would never be casually leaked.
How could Kuzuki know so much?
Considering they were on the same side and the situation was urgent, Jotaro didn’t voice his doubts but nodded and said, “In a moment of Time, what do you want to do?”
Dio himself is a very cautious person; without a guaranteed kill, he absolutely wouldn’t recklessly approach Jotaro.
In a moment of activity, there’s too little that can be done.
“Dio is injured; we must deal with him quickly to prevent him from recovering. Next, I will lure Dio here, and when he is Stopping time, it will be your turn to strike.”
“Yare yare daze…” Jotaro sighed, not asking Kuzuki how to lure Dio over, but with a serious expression said, “I understand.”
Black Clock·Black Clock!
The Stand’s Afterimage suddenly materialized in front of Kuzuki and floated towards Jotaro.
“My Ability should be able to help you.” Kuzuki explained briefly, then Black Clock landed a punch on Jotaro.
Ability activated!
Jotaro frowned and felt around; he didn’t sense anything different.
“I set a condition for activation; you’ll know when the time comes.”
After Kuzuki finished explaining, he looked towards Dio’s direction after Jotaro concealed himself.
Next, in order to lure Dio over and delay for a certain Time to create conditions for Jotaro’s Attack, he couldn’t just change places; he had to appear within Dio’s line of sight.
However, appearing in Dio’s line of sight was undoubtedly a very dangerous thing.
If Dio activated his Ability and Kuzuki couldn’t dodge the Attack, then he would be in danger.
Despite this, Kuzuki still showed no hesitation and directly made his move.
A single finger pointed, a white pillar of Fighting Spirit erupted from the tip, soaring straight for the sky.
After the pillar of light Phantom dissipated, where there should have been nothing, a LightDistortion appeared, and a disheveled Figure materialized out of thin air.
Dio, because he had been using his invisibility, thought himself undetected, but he was caught off guard and took a significant hit.
The Light Ring’s protective barrier requires Energy to generate.
The stronger the barrier, the more Energy it consumes.
Under his invisibility mode, Dio only used a small portion of his Energy to create the field.
Under the onslaught of the immensely powerful Hokuto Shinken Raiden, the barrier shattered like fragile glass.
With one hand pressing on the wound on his Chest, as Dio channeled Energy, the torn flesh quickly writhed and proliferated, filling the wound.
Then, the Light Ring flashed, and his battle suit was instantly restored to its original state.
Dio’s face was grim.
Kuzuki’s attack had pierced his invisibility, meaning his camouflage was completely Invalid against him.
And healing his Body had drained him of a considerable amount of Energy.
The healing power provided by the Light Ring wasn’t particularly strong.
The reason Dio’s regenerative ability was so monstrously powerful was primarily due to his vampiric nature.
The Light Ring merely elevated his recovery Ability to another level.
The Energy consumed during Body repair was still primarily Dio’s own.
Sigh… inhale… exhale…
Kuzuki’s Chest rose and fell gently, his immense Strength gathering within.
Then, with a thunderous roar, he unleashed a devastating punch!
Boom!
A Fierce Wind swept across the area, the air exploding with the force of the impact.
A massive Air Flow surged skyward, instantly engulfing Dio’s location.
However, when the Shockwave dissipated into the atmosphere, Dio appeared unharmed in his original position, not even budging an inch.
Attacked twice in a row, unable to locate his Enemy, Dio could consider himself defeated.
Dio shifted his Line of Sight, and the next moment, his gaze locked with Kuzuki’s.
Found you.
The instant he saw Kuzuki, Dio immediately vanished, preparing to close the distance.
However, after flying for a short distance, he abruptly halted.
“Wait a minute…”
Dio hovered in mid-air, looking at Kuzuki with suspicion.
“You’re different from before; why aren’t you hiding?”
Kuzuki didn’t answer but threw another punch.
The raging Air Flow Shockwave once again engulfed Dio’s figure, yet, just like last time, it had no effect on Dio.
“Useless! Useless! I’ve already seen through your attack!”
Dio sneered, crossing his arms, slowly descending from the air to a distance from Kuzuki.
It was clear that Kuzuki’s movements had raised Dio’s suspicions; he had been so cautious before, not even daring to show himself, yet now he boldly appeared before Dio, which would definitely make Dio suspicious.
“Is it a trap?” Dio pointed at Kuzuki. “Do you have allies lying in ambush? Or is there a trigger-type Stand Ability?”
“Before I kill you, there’s something I need to clarify: what is your relationship with Jotaro Kujo? No… I should ask, what is your relationship with the Joestar Family?” Dio said darkly.
“That has nothing to do with it; I have only one goal…”
Kuzuki paused for a moment, then suddenly stepped back: “That is to buy time for Jotaro’s escape.”
Dio’s expression changed, and he reacted violently, gritting his teeth: “You won’t escape! Whether it’s you or Jotaro, you both will die!”
Smash Valudo!
The silent and formless wave instantly spread throughout The World, and the next moment, Jikan Teishi Flow!
Kuzuki’s repeated sneak attacks on Dio had already ignited his anger, and he held a deadly intent towards Kuzuki.
Regardless of whether there was a trap, Dio could not allow Kuzuki to escape safely.
It was fortunate that he hadn’t found Kuzuki before, but now that Kuzuki had appeared in his line of sight, how could he let Kuzuki leave!
In the gray Stillness of The World, Kuzuki maintained a retreating posture, frozen.
Dio summoned his Stand, The World, and approached Kuzuki, looking down at him from a height: “This is my Stand… The World! The true strength that dominates The World!”
Thinking of the strength Kuzuki had previously displayed, that terrifying destructive power purely derived from his physical body, Dio couldn’t help but squint his eyes.
But seeing Kuzuki’s oblivious, frozen expression, Dio let out a chuckle, his shoulders shaking: “Hahaha… I admit you’re strong. For a moment, I even thought you might kill me. But unfortunately, the victor in the end is still me!”
“Though, for you with Time stopped, you wouldn’t be able to hear or feel anything…”
“Hmph, it’s a shame, a shame that I won’t get to see the Fear in your eyes as you die.”
[The World] floated in front of Kuzuki, paused for an Instant, and then unleashed a flurry of punches like a torrential downpour.
“Muda muda muda muda muda!”
[The World]’s Speed and Strength were unparalleled, and in a matter of seconds, it unleashed dozens of punches in rapid succession!
Thud!
The fierce Fist strikes caused the Air to violently erupt, creating a whirlwind of Air Flow.
In the next moment, Dio didn’t relax, but instead took a step back in surprise.
“This… this sensation, is it a Phantom?”
None of the attacks hit, all of them passed through Kuzuki’s Body as if it were Air.
[The World] swung its arm, slashing diagonally through Kuzuki’s Chest, but as expected, there was no resistance, and it passed through empty air.
Dio looked around, trying to find Kuzuki’s True Body, but it was nowhere to be found, as if Kuzuki had Disappeared, leaving behind only a Phantom.
“Impossible, where did he go? No, he must be around here somewhere!”
Just as Dio was shocked and perplexed, the hidden Jotaro made his move.
When Dio activated [The World]’s Ability, Stillness Time, Jotaro suddenly sensed something was off.
Everything in the Surroundings not only came to a Standstill, but also slowed down.
It sounded strange, but Jotaro indeed felt this way – in this Stillness of The World, only Dio and [The World] had the ability to move.
However, at this moment, from Jotaro’s perspective, both Dio and [The World]’s movements seemed extremely slow, as if the film was playing at 1/16th speed!
“No, it’s not that their movements are slow, it’s that my thinking Time has sped up!” Jotaro thought rapidly as he watched [The World] unleash punch after punch.
“I see how it is now…”
Jotaro’s Line of Sight swept across Kuzuki’s body.
“This must be what Kuzuki meant by helping me… hmm, it’s quite useful.”
With his sense of Time accelerated by Kuzuki’s Stand [Black Clock], Jotaro now had ample Time to think and prepare.
If it’s an Ordinary Person, even if their sense of time is accelerated, they can’t do anything about it.
Because what’s being accelerated is their “sense of time”, not “time” itself, at best, it’s just their thinking speed that’s increasing, but their body can’t keep up with their thinking speed.
Not only can’t they keep up with their thinking speed, but they’ll also experience a disconnect between their body and thoughts, leading to a situation where their reactions can’t keep up.
Yes, even if they’re thinking fast, their reactions won’t be able to keep up.
This is because [Black Clock] is a Stand with an ability that belongs to the illusion type, its essence is to disrupt the connection between “thoughts” and “actions”.
But Jotaro is different, he’s a Stand User!
It’s not Jotaro himself who’s acting, but his Stand, Star Platinum!
Star Platinum’s speed is incredibly fast, “fast enough to surpass the speed of light” is a fitting description for Star Platinum!
At this moment, with Star Platinum’s speed, Jotaro’s thinking speed is completely matched!
So when he saw Dio’s attack fail, [Star Platinum] immediately sprang into action!
Using [Star Platinum]’s ability to move for only 2 seconds… or perhaps 1 second, in stopped time, Jotaro only did 2 things.
He moved to Dio’s side (Star Platinum can’t leave Jotaro too far behind, so it’s Star Platinum that’s moving with Jotaro), and then attacked!
“Ora… ora…!”
Without holding back, he unleashed a furious strike with all his might, landing a solid hit on Dio’s head!
“What…?”
“Bam!”
Dio’s cry of surprise and the sound of impact rang out simultaneously, and then Dio’s body was like it was hit by a battering ram, a massive force exploded on his head, causing it to tilt, and his neck and spine to stretch, before his body was lifted off the ground and sent flying, rotating 7 or 8 times in mid-air before crashing into a wall.
The wall that Dio crashed into instantly caved in, with debris and bricks flying outward, slowly coming to a stop in mid-air.
Jotaro’s heart sank instantly, his mood plummeting to an all-time low.
“A hit, sure, but it didn’t break through the defense. Dio still maintains Time Stop…”
The protective barrier of the Light Ring!
Upon realizing it could be a trap, Dio immediately maximized the protective barrier covering his body surface, enough to withstand a point-blank cannon blast.
Not even Star Platinum’s heavy-hitting Fist could puncture his barrier!
Only Kuzuki’s explosive Strength could pierce through the Light Ring’s Force Field Defense!
Fifth second of Time Stop.
After rolling on the ground twice, Dio slowly got to his feet.
Clap, clap, clap.
Dio applauded, praising, “Not bad, Jotaro, you’ve given me quite a surprise. You didn’t run away…”
“Hmph… no, it’s not that you didn’t run. He deceived me,” Dio glanced at Kuzuki’s Phantom, clicking his tongue in displeasure. “Fooled by a trivial trick… I was too eager to kill you, so I acted on impulse when I heard you were escaping.”
Walking behind Jotaro, Dio brazenly draped his arm over the immobile Jotaro’s shoulder, maintaining a buddy-like posture as he leaned in close to Jotaro’s ear and said, “You can see it, right? Jotaro.”
The 6th second has passed.
The Light Ring on Dio’s hand is glowing.
“Heh heh heh, I don’t like others possessing [The World]’s ability, but watching you unable to move as I close in on you is somewhat amusing.”
Dio raised his fist, adorned with the Light Ring, a blissful expression on his face.
“After 7 seconds… I can still stop time. This Ring is a gift from heaven, bringing me more satisfaction than when I discovered the Stone Mask’s functions.” Caressing the Ring, Dio closed his eyes, leaned back, and spread his arms wide, embracing the sky.
“Eight seconds have passed. As expected, I am the only master of this The World! Then nine seconds… Jotaro, how does it feel to be pulled down when diving to the limit and about to surface?”
“Tenth second! Although I am a little unwilling, it seems that it can only last until this point. Regret… Go to hell, Jotaro!”
As Dio sighed, [The World] appeared in front of Jotaro and punched in the middle of Jotaro’s chest!
Bang…!
With the sound of bones and even flesh being torn apart, [The World]’s arm had completely sunk into Jotaro’s chest, punching a big hole in his body from front to back! The blood and flesh that flew out flew a short distance and solidified in the air.
Then, as [The World] retracted its arm, everything that had been stopped began to move.
The wall of the Surroundings collapsed suddenly, Jotaro spit out a mouthful of blood, and his body was thrown backwards, Blood and internal organ fragments are constantly spilling out from the hole in the chest!
