Infinite World: Random Characters, Start with Red Archer

Centered on the tornado, everything in the vicinity is frozen in place.

It was as if that area had become disconnected from the outside world, and had fallen into stillness.

"Time stops?"

"No...it shouldn't be."

"If this range is considered time stop, it's far too small compared to DIO's."

He could tell that it might be some kind of move, but Han Ming couldn't pinpoint which one it was.

The surface appearance suggests a time-stop effect...

This is also why the tornado was ultimately defeated by a hard crowd control effect...

"Fortunately, I can find out from the epitaph."

"It lasted for a very short time...only a few seconds."

"He's hiding such methods; this Payne is no ordinary man."

While moving, Han Ming also looked for a good spot.

The opponent is very strong...

However, having also experienced the depletion of this battle, it's impossible to say they were unscathed.

To prevent the worst-case scenario from happening, he had to go in.

Whether it's Genos or Tornado, Han Ming has to take both of them with him.

The former was to ensure the safety of the research, while the latter was to prevent the other party from obtaining the powerful card or the new Payne specimen.

He wasn't sure if the tornado met those conditions, but if it were turned into Pain, it would still be a real headache.

An attacker capable of striking from a distance using telekinesis...

Even if he had precognitive abilities, it would be difficult for him to evade it.

"It looks like this is going to be a battle that cannot be taken lightly."

.........

"Cough cough..."

Blood trickled down his forehead and cheeks as he collapsed to the ground, coughing violently.

She clearly formed a protective shield to protect herself before the attack even started.

But it could not do anything about the spirit that could penetrate matter.

Affected by this, their mental state deteriorated, causing their original defenses to crumble.

This allowed her to take a "Super Shinra Tensei" attack at close range.

Under normal circumstances, she was even confident that she could overpower the other party with this level of strength.

But being interfered with and unable to exert her strength led to this result, which she found truly unacceptable.

That power, which wasn't material and was like a ghost, was too much of a hindrance to her.

Even if you fall, your psychic powers will continue to activate.

"His spirit and willpower deserve commendation."

Without making a hasty approach, Payne simply looked at her and said coldly.

Even though this seemingly young girl is now seriously injured, he knows that this is just an appearance.

Even if the user faints, the tornado can maintain its protective shield for a period of time.

And right now, they're just holding on by a thread.

He doesn't need to do anything; he just needs to wait until the other side can't hold on any longer, and then he can start collecting the corpses.

When Payne first learned that Tornado had come to "demand an explanation," he devised a plan to eliminate her.

In a direct confrontation, several Pain's would be considered "toys" to Tatsumaki.

In terms of raw power, this person is arguably stronger than Payne.

But the real battle is not about size.

Rather, it's based on practical considerations...

The weak are not necessarily unable to defeat the strong, and the strong are not necessarily guaranteed to win.

As long as the relevant factors are controlled, it is not just empty talk to overcome the strong with the weak.

Unless the gap between them has become so large that it cannot be bridged.

As a veteran of the Black Ball, Payne has seen it all.

It's not difficult to come up with a way to deal with tornadoes.

Just use crowd control and high damage to finish them off quickly...

The opponent isn't some immortal monster; its core is still quite fragile.

The Pain soldiers he collected were prepared to deal with all kinds of enemies.

Unfortunately... this time I can only get the Tornado Card, and I can't fully utilize the other person's body to create the new Pain.

Otherwise, given the strength of that long-distance mental power, it would be very suitable as a substitute for the Hungry Ghost Path.

"Well..."

Sensing the other party's ill intentions, Tornado maintained her remaining consciousness and tried to get up.

But her injured body wouldn't allow her to do that...

Even moving a single finger is extremely difficult...

(How could I... be with a guy like that...?)

Instead of regret, she was filled with anger; Tornado believed she could control her opponent.

But now she's been defeated by a combo and can't get back up. How can she accept that?

The encirclement they were preparing to launch clearly wouldn't give her any room to escape.

The thought of the other person reeking of death gave her a vague sense that she might suffer the same fate.

(Rather than that... I'd rather...)

She would find it hard to accept being turned into the same kind of puppet and manipulated.

"pat..."

But just as she was about to put up a fight, the figure that suddenly appeared in front of her stunned her.

Excuse me...

"!"

An unknown figure appeared and blocked their path.

Tornado was both surprised and puzzled, never expecting to be protected by someone.

"Um...?"

Payne's eyes narrowed, and before he could finish speaking, he saw the other person throw a tornado behind him.

"?"

In the blink of an eye, their positions changed.

As if fast-forwarding, they are now in different locations.

Payne quickly understood the identity of the person involved...

"So that's how it is... the power to erase time."

"You are..."

"Diapolo!"

73. Clash! The King of Scarlet! Pseudo-Time Stop VS Time Delete! (6K)

"Diapolo!"

Han Ming was not surprised when his name was called out.

It's more accurate to say that the ability to erase time is so distinctive that it would be strange if it weren't recognized.

When he first entered the JoJo world, he experienced it once and immediately understood.

"!"

"Find an opportunity to run away yourself, preferably taking that person with you..."

"Take a short rest. You should be able to handle this little thing, right?"

"I'll hold that guy off."

Just as Tornado came to her senses, she found that the strange guy had appeared beside her and left a message.

"What kind of attitude is this! You..."

Coming out of her daze, Tornado was unusually annoyed by his way of handling things.

Is this underestimating her?

“I’m the helper King called, and he’ll be here soon. Your safety can’t be guaranteed if you stay here in your current state.”

It's important to offer appropriate advice, otherwise it will only backfire.

Given Tornado's stubborn nature, you can't expect her to obediently listen to you, so it's best to say it in another way.

"King?!"

"Tch... those guys don't believe me?"

Upon hearing the familiar name, Tornado hesitated for a moment, realizing that it was arranged by the Hero Association.

She was very angry about the fact that she had to ask others for support.

But now that the facts are in front of us, there is no room for stubbornness.

(If it's King... he should be fine.)

Those strange guys wouldn't be difficult for King to deal with.

On the contrary, staying here might become a breakthrough point.

Even if she was unwilling, only King's arrival could make the tornado think of backing down.

She knew that man could handle things here.

"!"

In the blink of an eye, the man who had been standing beside her had vanished.

Instead, we see images of an already entangled struggle...

The tornado itself had somehow left its original location.

"Time deletion..."

"Could it be his power?"

Realizing something, Tornado clutched her injured arm and muttered to herself, recalling Payne's words.

"As expected of King, he knows quite a few powerful guys."

Having confirmed that the person named Diablo was not an insider of the Hero Association, Tornado turned her attention to the absent figure.

Even with her extensive knowledge, she was puzzled by Han Ming's power. The fact that King could associate with such people was unknown to the association and seemed mysterious to outsiders.

"Phew... I feel like I overdid it in one breath."

"But I have no memory of what happened before."

"Is it the ability to omit processes?"

They vaguely located Ginos, a man who had somehow awakened and was looking around blankly.
