Chapter 159

"The...last...emerald splash."

The attack fell, and Kakyoin Noriaki, who was lying on the water tower, exerted his last strength, and the Emperor's green could not be maintained.

"This is a reminder. I have tried my best...you must understand it and then...tell them..."

His breath became weaker and weaker, and his heart felt like he was praying, which was heart-wrenching.

After saying that, he tried his best and closed his eyes.

Never opened again...

[Kakyoin Noriaki, death! 】

Chapter 184 It’s your turn next, Jotaro

"Hermit's Purple!"

“Buzz——!!”

Joseph Joestar's angry shouts and the strange buzzing of the 'substitute' power summoned sharp dark purple thorns, tearing the air, carrying an unparalleled fierce momentum, climbing up to the sky more than ten meters high , wrapping the vampire king in golden flames, tightly binding and restraining him, unable to escape!

"Then, take the move - the power of the sun, 'Ripple'!"

As he spoke, golden lightning leaped out of the palm of Joseph Joestar's hand - if nothing else happened, the 'ripple' power from the sun would move along the Hermit's Purple under his control. The thorn conduction acts on Dio's body to achieve the most effective restraint effect and defeat him!

However, a sudden change occurred!

"Old guy, your 'substitute' is the most useless!"

The whole body was wrapped in golden flames, with an arrogant expression, Dio made derogatory remarks without any scruples, and also forcibly broke away from the thorns of the Hermit's Purple, avoiding the attack of 'ripples'!

Seeing this, Joseph Joestar, knowing that he could not defeat his enemy, decisively jumped off the roof of the building, threw out the slender purple thorns of the Hermit, wrapped around the top of the distant clock tower, and swayed his body, Run away that way.

"Don't even try to escape!"

In this regard, Dio, who showed his fierce look, naturally would not let Joseph Joestar escape, and immediately chased him and tried to kill him.

At this point, the chase between Joseph Joestar and Dio begins again!

At the same time, many viewers waiting in front of the video screen also had different reactions to the death of Kakyoin Noriaki... Of course, the vast majority of people had different reactions to the members of the 'Stardust Crusaders' They all maintained their respect and sadness, and offered their sincere blessings to them.

As for Kakyoin Noriaki himself, he did not show much reaction.

After all, he had been mentally prepared to sacrifice from the beginning... Moreover, compared to seventeen years of loneliness, these 50 days of friendship were what he really cared about.

"Kakyoin, why did you destroy the clock tower?"

While wandering over the city, avoiding Dio's attack, Joseph Joestar looked solemn, looking back in the direction of the water tower and Kakyoin Noriaki's body, silently muttering doubtful words.

"What message are you trying to tell me by destroying the bell tower?"

He knows that as the calm representative of the team, the more critical the situation, the less likely Kakyoin Noriaki will do unnecessary things... The final emerald splash cannot be in vain. Behavior must also contain great significance.

"Sure, it has some important meaning!"

After saying that, he released the slender thorns, shook his body, and fled away.

Behind him, Dio, who was wrapped in golden flames, was flying freely in the sky by means of unknown special means, chasing his pace with all his strength, which was very dangerous.

This scene fell into the eyes of Jotaro Kujo and Polnareff, making them look surprised.

Not only that, Groudon, who was waiting in front of the video screen, also showed an expression of anger and grievance, causing the magma pool under his feet, as well as the Chimney Mountain where he lived, to enter a "boiling" state - fortunately, The God of the Earth remained rational enough and did not let the volcano erupt and affect innocent lives.

In response, Kyogre, who was living in the sea cave, showed a happy expression.

"Could it be that, Kakyoin... you solved the secret of Dio's 'substitute' in such a critical situation?"

Finally, Joseph Joestar, who was wandering over the city, guessed what Kakyoin Noriaki meant.

At this moment, his heart beat faster and there was a nervous expression on his face.

Afterwards, he tried to recall the situation just now... Kakyoin Noriaki's brief attack, the emerald splash that contained his last vitality, and the target of the attack, trying to deduce what his companions wanted to express from the meager information. Give yourself true meaning.

"Destroyed the clock with 'Emerald Splash'... Destroyed the hands of the clock and stopped the clock?"

At this time, along with the memories of Joseph Joestar, Kakyoin Noriaki's efforts at the last moment of his life were also shown in the video screen, catching everyone's eyes.

In response, Dio, who was waiting in front of the video screen, smiled.

As the 'savior of the evil', he didn't care that the world's 'substitute' ability was cracked by the enemy, and even spread through the 'dimensional editing system' and spread widely.

After all, Dio, who is blessed with "strong luck", has become the king of the dark world.

In this way, he, who has a broad mind... Even if the ability of the 'substitute' is leaked, he does not have to look panicked and angry. As long as he calmly kills the enemies one by one, he can stabilize his position and safety.

Rather, even if Theworld's 'substitute' ability is leaked to the enemy, Dio believes that he will not lose to anyone, and there is no need to panic.

"Humph, Joseph Joestar...let me see, as the grandson of Jonathan Joestar, how far can you go to please me?"

Dio, who was leaning on the soft bed with a red wine glass in his hand, showed a sarcastic smile.

In the mansion, those subordinates who watched the video and knew their fate of defeat and death, but still chose to be loyal, had gathered together, put aside their anger and arrogance, and discussed a new deal. enemy plan.

Not only that, some people who openly betrayed, especially idiots, have been thrown into the sun and died without a burial place.

Just like Dio, they don't have any panic or fear. The reason...naturally is that they believe in their master. They believe that under the leadership of that guy and with a brand-new plan, they will inevitably lose.' Stardust Crusaders' Five Men and One Dog.

Of course, I hope that in an hour they can still show such overconfidence... I believe that at that time, many people in the mansion will fall into severe madness and anger.

However, now, with the memories of Joseph Joestar, many viewers waiting in front of the video screen have had an extremely bold idea in their hearts.

That thought was so terrifying that they themselves couldn't believe it.

Later, under Dio's continuous pursuit, Joseph Joestar, who climbed up a tall building relying on the thorns of the Hermit's Purple, also showed a shocked expression.

"Is it...could it be that...how is this kind of thing possible?"

Obviously, he also guessed the answer and was shocked by it.

"Is the true ability of Dio's 'substitute' theworld the power to 'stop' time?!"

Finally, Joseph Joestar, who was on the run from the chase, shouted out the final answer to the question!

Then, Dio, who was following him closely, also showed a contemptuous smile.

The next moment, the video screen fell into playback, reaching the moment when the "emerald splash with a radius of twenty meters" was successfully released and shot towards Dio - at this point, the blond vampire surrounded by emeralds called out His own 'stand-in'.

"theworld——!!"

A sturdy golden figure appeared in front of Dio.

“Buzz——!!”

The next moment, with Dio as the center, the entire world lost its vitality and life, twisted, lost its original brilliant colors, and was cast into a lifeless gray.

Not only that, the emeralds shooting out, the airtight green tentacles, Kakyoin Noriaki standing in the distance... everything has lost the power of movement, hovering strangely in place, and The world they live in has lost its color and cannot continue to move.

However, dio and theworld, who control 'time', are the absolute masters of this gray land!

"Shua——!!"

Raising his arms, he threw off the red cloak and swept away the green tentacles and emeralds in front of him.

Afterwards, Dio and TheWorld successively cut open the slender tentacles of the Emperor's Green, and quickly approached Kakyoin Noriaki, who was twenty meters away, with a cheerful smile on their faces.

Obviously, he used the power of 'time stop' to cut through the barrier tentacles of the Emperor's Green within the 'time' that no one could observe, came to Kakyoin Noriaki, and gave him a fatal blow. attack!

"This is the true power of my theworld... However, you who have 'stopped' time cannot see or perceive anything at all."

The next moment, theworld clenched its fists.

"Go to hell, Kakyoin!"

"laugh--!!"

The heavy fist swung down and penetrated Kakyoin Noriaki's abdomen, causing blood to spurt out and solidify in the air... The red-haired boy in a green school uniform suffered a blow while he was unconscious. Fatal pain!

"You didn't even realize that you were dead."

With his hands folded across his chest and looking at Kakyoin Noriaki who had a normal expression, Dio mocked mercilessly.

Afterwards, the world quietly retreated... After the effect of 'time stop' was lifted, the consequences that awaited Noriaki Kakyoin and Joseph Joestar were the tragic endings just now.

At this point, all the secrets of dio and the world have been completely revealed in front of everyone's eyes!

At the end of the memory, Fio finally lost all the patience to play chasing tricks with Joseph Joestar and disappeared into the sky in an instant, leaving the old man with a shocked expression. He no longer continued to run, but chose to stop. The steps landed on a roof.

Then, dio and theworld suddenly appeared behind Joseph Joestar, raising their fists.

However, the golden punch hovered in front of Joseph Joestar without falling... In this way, it gave him a chance to escape and stay away from dio and theworld.

It turned out that during the escape process, Joseph Joestar tied the Hermit's Purple, which was entangled with the power of '', to his body, covered it with clothes, and tried to lure Dio to attack him. Plot against the enemy.

Unfortunately, his tricks couldn't be hidden from Dio's eyes.

After all, a hundred years ago, Dio suffered a lot from the 'Ripple Qigong' under the hands of Jonathan Joestar. He also nearly died many times and gained a memory.

Not only that, during the brief confrontation, Joseph Joestar also discovered that the length of 'time' that the world could be suspended was only a short time, which did not allow him to do too many things.

In this way, there is hope of defeating the enemy!

"The Hermit's Purple and Ripple——!!"

Lightning flashed and thorns arose, and Joseph Joestar launched the most violent attack on Dio in order to seek justice for Kakyoin Noriaki - after all, the secret of the world was the answer he paid for with his life!

"It's so boring, Ripple and his ilk, I don't even need to touch your body to launch an attack!"

In this regard, Dio did not show any panic expression and directly controlled thousands of TheWorld to smash the chimney at the top of the house.

"Bang!"

The stone collapsed and was hit forward by the world, bombarding Joseph Joestar's body, knocking him off the roof and falling to the ground.

"ah!"

Fortunately, at the last moment when he fell to the ground, he released the purple thorns of the Hermit and tied them to the window of the house, slowing down the impact for himself and ensuring his ability to move normally.

Later, Dio also jumped down, planning to chase the enemy.

Upon seeing this, Joseph Joestar, who was ridiculed by passers-by, immediately got up from the ground and prepared to escape... As a result, when he raised his head, he found Kujo standing on the opposite side of the road. Jotaro was looking at him in confusion.

Behind him, Dio slowly landed on the ground, frightening the wild cats on the roadside to the point where they screamed in panic.

Time was running out, and Joseph Joestar immediately shouted to Jotaro Kujo, revealing Dio's 'substitute' ability.

"Jotaro, the mystery of his 'stand-in' theworld's ability lies in time. He is a 'stand-in' who can 'stop time'!"

"theworld!"

However, Dio, who reacted quickly, stopped time and brought everything to a standstill.

The panicked Joseph Joestar, the shocked Jotaro Kujo, the pedestrians on the roadside, the wild cats with explosive hair...all fell into the quagmire of 'time stopped', only Dio remained. Eligibility for free movement.

"At first, this ability could only be paused for a blink of an eye, but as the neck wound healed, the pause time became longer and longer for two seconds, three seconds..."

As he spoke, he smashed the wild cat beside him with one punch, letting the blood and debris fly into the cups and bowls of passers-by. He walked forward indifferently, and muttered something in the end: "Now, I I can stop time for 5 seconds, and it will expand to 1 minute and 1 hour in the future. One day, I will be able to stop time at will, which is really exciting!"

Then, he came to Joseph Joestar and Jotaro Kujo, raised his palm, and wanted to cut off the former's head immediately.

However, at the last moment when the palm fell, he thought of Joseph Joestar's cunning.

"Although 'ripple' made me feel a little troublesome a hundred years ago, in front of the world, everything is in vain."

After saying that, he distanced himself from Joseph Joestar and took out a throwing knife from his arms.

For a moment, many viewers waiting in front of the video screen showed expressions of astonishment - obviously, everyone had guessed what Dio was thinking and were surprised by it.

“Wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big—!!”

Holding the flying knife tightly, Dio laughed loudly at Joseph Joestar's useless skills, threw the blade out with all his strength, and struck directly at the enemy's neck, hovering an inch away from there, with bites flashing on the edge. The cold light of man!

"Jonathan's grandson Joseph, if this happens, you will definitely die!"

Turning around, Dio stretched out a finger and counted down the life of Joseph Joestar.

However, some of the viewers squatting in front of the video screen noticed that there seemed to be a subtle change in Jotaro Kujo's expression?

"Countdown to one second...zero seconds..."

The next moment, the gray world regained its own color.

Then, hovering in front of Joseph Joestar's neck, the extremely sharp silver-white flying knife stabbed into it mercilessly, causing blood to spurt out!

"Old man!"

Standing on the other side of the street, Jotaro Kujo let out a worried cry.
