hero?it must be me

No, impossible!

After taking three heavy punches from [World], how could it be possible for Polnaluf to look so unscathed? !

Surrounded by flames, Dior's field of view has poor visibility.

But with the help of [World], he could clearly see that Polunaruf, who was alive and well without any signs of injury, was rushing towards him with blood on his body!

What rushed at the same time was the sword of the silver chariot!

"I didn't even tell Zheng Qi about this trick! Suffer it! Dior!"

Immediately, the sharp sword of the chariot shot out like a sharp arrow!

"Pfft!"

The sharp blade sank straight into Dio's head!

"Gaha!"

Dio's body, also under the influence of the impact contained in the sharp blade, flew backwards.

Seeing that it is about to fall into the sun——

"—The World!"

So, when there is no CD, it is no different from opening and closing.

A set of combination attacks that can be called lore on most enemies is still broken by Dio's unreasonable time-stop ability.

At the last moment when his body was about to touch the sun, Dior stopped time.

At the same time, with the assistance of [World], he stabilized his body.

"Drink, drink, drink..."

Dressed roughly, Dio asked [World] to pull out the sharp blade belonging to the chariot in his head, and threw it aside.

"Damn it! I, Dio, would be forced to such an extent when facing this kind of opponent!"

He extinguished the embers of the fire, and the parasol was reduced to ashes in the flames.

Dio looked back.

In addition to Polunaruf in the sky, Abdel who is relying on the red magician to release flames can be seen from the window of one side of the building.

"Did some kind of method be used to quickly heal Polunaruf, and then the two of them sneaked here to ambush while my attention was distracted?"

Dio's face darkened.

"It actually caused me, Dio, to be so hurt. Sure enough, you two are excellent stand-ins, what a pity..."

Dio took out two throwing knives.

"If you want to hate, then hate the Joestar family who led you astray!"

As he said that, Dio was about to throw a throwing knife!

"You deserve to talk about going astray?"

Dio was startled by the voice that suddenly rang in his ears.

He was just about to turn his head to look—

"Eura!!!!"

——Platinum Star's heavy fist slammed into Dio's head, smashing about a quarter of his skull!

"Puff!!!!"

In the still world, Dior's body plummeted!

Chapter 164 Chapter 160 II: The same type of substitute

"Boom!"

Dior, who hit the ground, exploded a cloud of smoke as high as a person!

(Finally, took the opportunity to punch Dio in the head.)

In mid-air, Jotaro stared at the scene.

However, it is a pity that Dior still reacted to a certain extent at the moment of being attacked, and this punch failed to directly hit him with the flying knife in the sun.

and……

(Now, only two seconds.)

Feeling that his body was gradually sinking into a certain state of stillness, Jotaro frowned.

Although, Zheng Qi once told him that his [Platinum Star] and Dior's [World] are doubles of the same type, that is to say, both doubles have the same ability to pause time.

However, Jotaro has not been able to find a way to actively enter that realm.

Until now.

In other words, as Jotaro gradually approached Dio's location, he began to have a more and more sense of the so-called "Time Pause". Should it be called an induction?

It's as if Dior can sense the positions of Jotaro and Er Qiao in the dark, that kind of echoing feeling based on soul and blood is hard to describe, but it really exists.

In fact, on the way to meet Zheng Qi, Jotaro has already realized the matter of [Dior is pausing time] many times in the car.

When Dio and Zheng Qi confront each other and use the ability of [World], Jotaro will clearly realize that time has been stopped.

5 seconds.

Several times of 5 seconds.

That experience opened a door for Jotaro.

If you want to compare it, it is like when a person is doing arithmetic, he knows that 5+5 will equal 10, but when he has not seen the nine-nine multiplication table with his own eyes, or has actually received multiplication education, he will see 2X5. The law associates it with [equal to 10].

Although Jotaro knew the concept of "time" at the level of common sense, and also got the psychological hint of "you can pause time" from Zheng Qi, but without actually seeing it or having no actual experience, he wanted to open that concept. It is too difficult to open a "door".

The ability of a substitute, in a sense, is the realization of the obsession of the substitute messenger.

In other words, if you want to master or strengthen your own substitute ability, one of the keys is the substitute messenger's [knowledge] of the ability.

The test is the confidence of the stand-in messenger in his own ability - how firmly do he believe that this ability is what should happen!

It is easy to say, but it is really difficult to actually do it.

Dior's [World] seems to have given Jotaro a template, an example.

It can be said that Dior's [World] helped Jotaro's [Platinum Star] cross the most difficult threshold of "from zero to one"!

Then, perhaps because of the long-term accumulation of attempts, or the orb bestowed by Zheng Qi played a role, Jotaro, who was involved in the time stop in a face-to-face situation, immediately mastered the time stop technique, And has a full two seconds of activity time!

In the first second, he moved Kakyoin and Er Qiao away from the direct attack route of the emerald torrent.

In the second second, he gave Dior a heavy punch!

"But, damn it... I'm going to kill you..."

Amidst the smoke and dust, Dio sat up tremblingly with his head splashing out and blood flowing.

He stared at Jotaro in mid-air for two seconds before returning to a still state.

"I want--"

He was about to get up, but suddenly his body went limp and he fell to the ground.

"What, what is this—I can't use my legs... How is it possible! I can't stand up! And, I have a headache...! I want to vomit!"

Covering his head with his hands, Dio's eyes widened: "I, Dio, am I so embarrassed?!"

"The head is damaged, is it so difficult to even stand?!"

"Time, there are 2 seconds left, damn it! Jotarou, how, how, can he be in my [world]—"

Jotaro can move in static time, which means that Jotaro's 【Platinum Star】may also have the ability to control time.

Although it seems that the length of time he can pause is temporarily shorter than his own, Jotaro has undoubtedly crossed the gap between what can be done and what cannot be done.

Unbelievable, even ridiculous.

This outburst of emotion, coupled with such a severe head injury, caused Dio's thinking to become confused for a while.

But, should it be said that it is Dior?

Even in this situation, he has quickly judged what to do now.

"In short, let's find a way to reset the situation..."

His gaze quickly locked on a good place.

That's the manhole cover for the sewer.

-

"Oh!"

Jumping on the top of the building, the current Zheng Qi can no longer care about whether his exertion will cause damage to the building.

After escaping from the collapsed cellar, he relied on the smell to find the storefront where Dior was hiding, but the smell stopped there.

It was Yi Qi, a real dog, who helped Zheng Qi re-locate Dior by relying on his sense of smell, which had a much wider search range than Zheng Qi.

"Wang!"

Yi Qi, who was lying on Zheng Qi's left shoulder, let out a cry.

"I saw."

Zheng Qi did see it, it was Huajingyuan and the others on the street.

"Kakyoin."

With a loud shout, Zheng Qi jumped down from the top of the five-storey building, and landed in front of Huajingyuan and the others with a muffled sound.

"Zheng Qi! You are really fine!"

Seeing Zheng Qi, Polnaruff shouted excitedly.

Abdel and Kakyoin also showed a slightly relieved expression.

only……

"Are you fighting with Dio here? Where are Joestar-san and Jotaro?"

Only Kakyoin, Polunaruf, and Abdel remained on this messy street, while Nijo and Jotaro disappeared.

"They are going after Dio."

Unwillingly, Polunaruff clenched his fists and compared the entrance to the sewer with an open manhole cover.

"Sorry, Zheng Qi, we still couldn't keep Dio, but he has been severely injured by Jotaro in the head, and he probably wanted to use the running water in the sewer to reduce the burden of moving. We wanted to keep up, but..."

"Because it's not sure whether Dio, who is a vampire, has any other backers in that state, Mr. Joestar asked us to stay here and wait for you, and he and Jotaro will track down Dio."

Abdel accepted Kakyoin's words, and then he took out a map that he had prepared a long time ago: "We don't have the sense of smell like you and Izzy, so we are going to go to this place directly according to the confluence of the city's sewers. "

He pointed.

That's a big bridge.

The big river under the bridge is the last confluence of most of the city's sewers!

"If you can't annihilate Dio in the sewer, force him here."

Abdel said in a deep voice.

"Right here, join forces to annihilate him in one fell swoop!"

Chapter 165 Chapter 160 Three: The World of the Sewer

The moment they entered the sewer, the expressions of Yi Qi and Zheng Qi changed.

Zheng Qi frowned slightly.

Iggy covered his nose in a more explicit way.

The smell in the sewer is really irritating to a person and a dog with a keen sense of smell.

To be honest, it is not easy to distinguish the scent trail of someone or something in this environment.
