Chapter 78 Your ability is to control the stairs! (Fifth update)

When Dio's gaze fell on Avdol, he paused slightly: "Oh, and there's another one we've met before..."

Of the group, only Yoshikage Kira and Iggy were seeing Dio for the first time. The other two had encountered Dio before. Avdol chose to trust his sixth sense and run away the moment he saw Dio, thus escaping the fate of being controlled. Polnareff was not so lucky. Like Kakyoin, he was controlled by Dio's flesh bud and became one of the assassins of Jotaro. And like Kakyoin, when he first faced Dio, he didn't even understand what Dio's Stand ability was before he was caught.

Without knowing the world's abilities, this kind of time-based Stand is indeed the perfect first-encounter kill.

Although, according to the timeline, Dio might not have awakened the time-stop ability at that time.

"Dio, you've finally come out!" Popo looked calmly at Dio at the end of the stairs.

Although the Hanged Man, the murderer who killed his sister, has been defeated, the real source of all this is Dio. For the past forty days, Bobo has been thinking about seeing Dio every moment and facing him again. He thought that when he saw Dio again, he would be angry, excited, and reckless, but when he actually saw Dio, he was calmer than he had expected.

"We're here to take your life!"

Bobo spoke again, his tone remarkably confident.

They had already defeated countless Stand users before finally arriving at the final boss.

"Hehehe... Hahaha!"

Dio laughed as if he'd heard the funniest joke in the world, letting out a laugh reminiscent of Takehito Koyasu. His gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Polnareff. He crossed his arms, a villainous, wicked smile playing on his lips, his tone brimming with confidence and arrogance: "Polnareff, I'll give you... I'll give you all a chance. Just step back two steps, and I'll grant you a chance to serve me..."

"On the contrary, if you want to die, climb the stairs ahead and face me, Dio!"

"Dio, you're still deluding yourself!"

Without a second thought, Popo immediately stepped onto the stairs. His movements were so fast that even Avdol couldn't stop him and could only follow closely behind. Kira Yoshikage, who knew what Dio's ability was, didn't rush up. Instead, he whispered a few words in Iggy's ear.

"Dio, today is your death day."

Bobo looked at Dio, who was only a dozen or so steps away from him, and declared that the battle was about to begin.

He not only climbed the steps, but went straight up a floor.

"Really? Really? Is this true?"

Dio revealed a sharp fang at the corner of his mouth, a confident smile playing on his lips, as if everything was under his control. He spoke, "Polnareff, are you and your companions in such a hurry to pledge allegiance to me?"

The moment Dio finished speaking, it was as if the World Cup had been paused. When Bobo and Avdol came to their senses after being reminded by him, something terrifying happened to them.

They were only one floor away from Dio, and Avdol was even ready to use the Red Magician to launch an attack at any time, but now the distance between them and Dio has increased to two floors.

They were just going upstairs, so why are they downstairs now?

"Why...when...should I be on top...?"

Faced with such a bizarre situation, Bobo and Abdellatif immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Humanity's greatest fear stems from the unknown. No matter how powerful the enemy is, they are not invincible. Yet, such an inconceivable situation unconsciously instills a sense of dread in them.

Only Yoshikage Kira remained motionless, his gaze fixed intently on the yellow figure.

As expected of the world... as expected of time stop... when the ability is activated, I am completely unaware of it.

Although I knew Dio was just showing off, the thought of Dio activating time stop to carry Polnareff and Avdol down the stairs made me feel incredibly amused.

"It's because of fear... your heart has wavered... you're afraid of me, Dio..."

Dior maintained his confident demeanor.

Winning hearts and minds...

Dior loved seeing his opponents' mental defenses crumble and look pathetic.

"That's utter nonsense!"

The hotheaded Bobo, of course, didn't believe Dio's nonsense, so he climbed the steps a second time, with Avdol following closely behind. However, compared to before, the two of them remained highly vigilant this time, their eyes fixed on Dio. If the other party made any unusual move, they would launch an attack immediately.

However...

In the same spot and at the same distance, the two of them returned to the place they had just been.

It was as if time had turned back.

Fortunately, vampires don't sweat, and their physique and strength are far greater than that of ordinary humans; otherwise, Dio, who had carried two strong men several times in a row, would have already been panting and sweating.

"You are all excellent Stand users; it would be a waste to kill you outright... Don't be Joestar's comrades anymore. There's no good outcome with those weaklings. They will be killed by me tonight... How about serving me?"

Dio's smile widened as he looked down at Popo and Avdol, like an emperor looking down at his subjects: "I can give you everything you want: money, power, women, strength, life, and... eternal peace of mind."

Dio, a vampire who has lived for a hundred years, is very skilled at manipulating minds. He did this a hundred years ago when he was with the Joestar family. With just a few words, he made Jonathan Joestar's former companions stand by his side, and with a few more words, he tricked a large number of people into serving him.

A century later, Dio became even more powerful in this regard. Once someone fell into his verbal trap, it was as if they were under a spell. Almost every villain, except for the main characters, would be persuaded by him and eventually serve him.

Bobo stared at Dio, his mind racing as he carefully recalled every detail of his encounter with Dio and meticulously considered every possible outcome.

Stairs, going upstairs, going downstairs, Dior's body... That's it!!!

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in Bobo's mind!

He figured it out, he understood it, he knew the most crucial point!

"I see..."

Popo shouted loudly, then suddenly pointed at Dio and said in an extremely firm tone, "I know your abilities, Dio..."

His tone was full of confidence and certainty, as if he had grasped some enormous secret.

Even Dior was taken aback...

Could it be that Polnareff really...?

But Bobo's next words were something no one expected.

"Control the stairs!!!"

"It's a control staircase!!!"

Dior: ? ? ?
