Infinite World: Random Characters, Start with Red Archer

Now that the other party seems to have some kind of plan, Han Ming will be even more careful.

Not wanting to miss any feedback from the epitaph, he wanted to see what brilliant idea this person had.

The image of that figure descending from the sky had already appeared in my mind.

Hell?

Including the Deva Path, the two Pains will gather here to fight him together.

The moment his hat was flipped off, he had already revealed his true identity as the one from the Underworld.

"It's her?!"

Han Ming's pupils contracted, startled by the foreseen future.

I had considered the identities of many people, but I never expected this one to be made into Payne.

"I see... that time-stopping area effect from before..."

Suddenly realizing it, he felt even more how comprehensive the Payne character card was.

It has many uses to explore, and in the case of modifying the new Pain, it can even be used to make amends using other people's corpses.

It's like having significantly more character cards than others just by having no resources.

A master of multi-management tactics...

Compared to using the black ball for various development and enhancement, being able to explore new things at a deeper level can be considered a new way of thinking for the participants.

"Does she want to use her power to try and stop my time deletion?"

The moment the words were spoken, the figure descending from the sky appeared exactly as predicted.

Pain of the Hell Path had already arrived and heard the self-deprecating words, but the Deva Path did not see the slightest surprise or panic on the other's face.

This scene must have been seen by the other party long ago.

What he needs to do is not to communicate with the enemy here...

The moment he activated the Hell Path's power, his fallen hat revealed his face.

Even if a woman's appearance changes, it is only a change in her general appearance.

To describe it specifically, it would probably be the color...

Yes, color...

In Han Ming's eyes, Hell was a beautiful woman with orange hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes.

Even after becoming Payne, his temperament and charisma still couldn't be concealed.

The name of the move the opponent uttered when they opened their mouth also revealed their original identity before being modified.

“摩訶闾啬Γ ”

"King of Crimson!"

Having already known the future developments through the epitaph, Han Ming deliberately kept them in sync, allowing both to activate their abilities simultaneously.

“If it were Jotaro and Dio instead, there would be some explanation.”

"Only Esdeath..."

"Trying to use fake time stop to counter time deletion? I've really been underestimated."

Having created some distance, Han Ming showed no intention of staying in one place.

"I've always wanted to know whether stop time or delete time is more powerful."

"But judging from the current situation, I have come to a conclusion."

Witnessing the situation in the Time Deletion Space, Han Ming finally understood the effect of "Time Stop" on "Time Deletion".

Esdeath's Mohalus is essentially a pseudo-"time stop," but that doesn't prevent its specific effects from being close.

Therefore, Han Ming can learn from this competition what would happen if he encountered a real "time stop".

This is also a way of confirming things in advance... so we won't be caught off guard later.

After all, he believed that Jotaro and Dio's cards would eventually be possessed by someone involved.

Consider this a rehearsal...

"You will still be affected by the duration of the ability during my deletion process."

Five seconds? Six seconds? Seven seconds?

"Can it last for ten seconds? That's incredible..."

"But unlike a true time stop, the area you can affect is only this area."

"Unfortunately... I only had 20 seconds to delete, which was only half of my usual time."

Han Ming summarized that the limit for deleting images when witnessing interference from the Hell Path is ten seconds.

"Time Stop" and "Time Delete" are used when they are activated simultaneously.

That is to compete with each other's "endurance".

The pseudo-"time stop" technique used by Esdeath in this hell passage only covers half the scope of his actual time stop.

And the impact of this is...

They both controlled each other...

When their abilities are activated together, time is in a contradictory state of being both "deleted" and "stopped".

If we convert this to a situation where time stops, the same result may occur.

However, because Esdeath's duration is not as long as his, the world will enter a time-deletion settlement state after the "time stop" ends.

That is, Diablo's home ground!

"That's a really interesting test."

"In other words, if I encounter someone with the ability to stop time, as long as they don't get the first move, whether they activate it at the same time or after the enemy has time-deleted, I will be invincible."

Han Ming was very satisfied with this answer.

Even if Esdeath is just a fake "time stop", he can still figure out a similar effect.

This is undoubtedly a new point of knowledge...

"what?"

By the time Payne came to his senses, Han Ming had already created distance between them.

The ice cones covering the ground represent attacks that miss their mark.

"It's a real shame that the Crimson King is still stronger in terms of ability."

Having uttered those words with pride, Han Ming also felt that Diablo's confidence as an "emperor" was justified.

Given the possibility of an overtime cut, as long as he isn't subjected to a dimensional reduction attack, there's virtually no chance of him losing.

With such an "invincible" combination, who wouldn't be arrogant?

"call out!"

"Useless!!"

The continuous spikes came, but they were all knocked down by the Crimson King that he controlled.

Foreseeing what the future held, Han Ming's lips curled into a smile...

"Want to have a speaking speed contest?"

"Maha...!"

"King of Crimson!!"

Knowing full well that the other party would reactivate that ability, Han Ming preemptively activated Time Delete.

In the stagnant space, he slowly walked to the side and then raised his hand.

The Hōgyoku on his chest was gleaming.

The Crimson King's head was covered by a shell with demonic markings, and empty holes were growing from its chest.

That's a symbol of "the broken face"...

It turns into this every time it draws upon the power of the Hogyoku.

"The inability to attack enemies during time-deletion is indeed the biggest weakness..."

"But that doesn't mean I can't launch an attack in advance..."

In the original story, Diablo's repeated successes in flanking maneuvers stemmed from his pre-planned attacks; he only needed to wait for the timer to finish before launching his strike...

Back then, the reaction time given to opponents was very short, sometimes so short that there wasn't even time to think.

However, Han Ming did not need to go to such great lengths to get close to the enemy.

A dark red beam of light flickered at his fingertips...

In another world, that power is known as "Cero".

"Unfortunately, at this time, you can't see or feel anything."

Han Ming whispered, gathering his strength for the attack he was about to unleash.

This is also what he considers the most sinister place.

You can prepare an attacking stance in advance, but your opponent won't even notice.

They will only act according to the predetermined future.

However, one can adjust their position and stance at any time.

Han Ming's enhanced Diablo is evolving towards the ultimate.

"Even without using the ultimate time-deletion method, your fate is still uncertain."

The moment Han Ming launched the "Cero Flash," he extinguished the power of the Hogyoku.

In order to prevent others from noticing the Hogyoku, he always moved it within the time limit.

This way, it can be done without anyone noticing.

The same was true in his previous battles against Cú Chulainn and Gojo Satoru.

"Time...starts to flow!"

Following Esdeath's use of the Great Demon, what struck was the dark red beam of light that had somehow become close before her.

"Boom!"

The already impoverished land was further scarred by a long scratch...

"!"

With a flicker of his eyes, Tiandao stared intently at the Hell Path, whose upper body had vanished without a trace, and fell silent.

What happened?

Why did a red light suddenly flash by?

attack?

But he had no idea where it came from.

Is it dried by Diabolo?

But this is clearly an energy wave technique, something the Crimson King couldn't do.

Because he understood Diablo, he made this judgment based on preconceived notions.

No matter how he thought about it, he found it hard to imagine that the Crimson King had long-range energy attack methods.

(Could it be that his Stand is actually an evolved form?)

(Even after being pierced with an insect arrow and transformed into a requiem, there was no change in its appearance.)

(What exactly happened?)

Realizing for the first time that things were going beyond his expectations, Payne turned his gaze to the figure not far away.

The attack didn't land on him but on the hell passage, which was clearly intentional.
