Infinite: The Main God Space Starting from Naruto

Chapter 242 Poisoning

"However, now—"

"Muda!"

The world's fist slammed out, colliding with the Nichirin Blade. The enormous impact made Tanjiro's arm go numb, and the flames wrapped around the blade were scattered.

Just as Tanjiro's right arm went numb, the world flashed to his left.

The thick arm, accompanied by a piercing sonic boom, aimed straight for his temple. The air was compressed in front of the fist, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

Tanjiro's pupils contracted sharply, and at the critical moment, his nose suddenly caught something.

It was the unique scent carried by the force of the punch, along with extremely subtle fluctuations in the air.

"In this direction!"

Tanjiro felt a sense of crisis coursing through his body like an electric current, and his body instinctively sank downwards.

The world's fist grazed his hair, creating a violent shockwave.

"What?!" A hint of surprise flashed in Dio's eyes. He hadn't expected Tanjiro to be able to dodge the world's attack.

Taking advantage of the crouching posture, Tanjiro slammed his right foot into the ground. The ground instantly shattered, sending shards of stone flying everywhere.

He shot towards Dio like an arrow released from a bow, his Nichirin Blade drawing a crimson arc in the air.

It was so fast that it even left an afterimage in the air!

"THE WORLD!"

Dio let out a roar, and time stopped at that moment.

Tanjiro's figure froze in mid-air, the crimson blade only centimeters away from Dio's cheek.

"That's really surprising." Dio circled the still Tanjiro. "Not only has his strength increased, but his combat awareness has also improved so much."

"but--"

Dio stopped in his tracks, and the figure of the world silently appeared behind Tanjiro.

"Before me, Dior, these are all futile struggles!"

"Muda!"

The world's fist slammed out, the sound of the fist tearing flesh was clearly audible, and a bloody hole instantly exploded in Tanjiro's chest.

The moment time resumed its flow, the immense impact erupted.

"puff!"

Tanjiro spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire body flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground.

Tanjiro gritted his teeth, trying to stand up, but his arms trembled uncontrollably.

The wound on his chest was too large; even with a demon's regenerative abilities, such an injury wouldn't heal in a short time.

"How is it?" Dio walked over slowly, looking down at Tanjiro. "This is the insurmountable gap between you and me."

Just then, the clear sound of a shamisen came from afar.

"Zheng—"

Muzan's remaining flesh began to writhe, attempting to seize the opportunity to escape. A dozen grotesque blood vessels crawled wildly across the ground, winding their way into the darkness.

"Trying to run again?" Dio turned to look at Muzan. "Looks like you still don't understand your situation."

"THE WORLD!"

In the instant time stood still, Dio had already appeared before the flesh and blood. The world's fists rained down like a storm, pulverizing the writhing flesh and blood.

"Time begins to flow!"

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Muzan's voice, filled with rage, erupted from the flesh and blood: "Who do you think you are? You're nothing but a fool who stole my power!"

His voice was distorted with anger, "Why...why do you have to go against me?!"

"Oppose you?" Dio sneered. "You're wrong, Muzan. I'm merely clearing obstacles from the path. This world only needs one emperor, and that's me, Dio!"

"asshole!"

With a roar, Muzan's body swelled and deformed once more, and more than ten thick bone spikes shot out from his body.

The world appeared before Dio, his fists raining down like a storm, shattering the flying bone spikes one by one.

Just then, Dio's nose twitched slightly. A strange, bloody smell came from behind him.

Before he could react, a gust of wind howled behind him, and Dio whirled around. There he saw Tanjiro, who had somehow gotten up and was charging at him with his Nichirin Blade in hand.

"He recovered so quickly?" A hint of surprise flashed in Dio's eyes. He hadn't expected Tanjiro's recovery ability to be so astonishing.

"A terrifying, gaping wound!!"

Dio's eyeballs suddenly swelled, and a high-frequency liquid shot towards Tanjiro like a sharp sword.

Tanjiro raised his sword to block, and the high-frequency liquid struck the blade, producing a crisp metallic clang.

"This level of sneak attack," Dio's eyes turned slightly cold, "does it even dare to hurt me, Dio?"

"This time, I'll finish you off completely!" A ruthless glint flashed in Dio's eyes, and a golden Stand appeared behind him.

"THE WORLD!"

In the instant time stood still, Dio had already flashed to Tanjiro's side.

"Mu da wood da wood da wood da!"

The world's fists rained down like a storm, each punch hitting the vital points with pinpoint accuracy.

"Time begins to flow!"

Amidst the resounding punches, Tanjiro's body twisted and deformed continuously in the air.

Blood and flesh splattered, bones shattered, and the person was beaten to pieces like a rag doll.

"it's over."

Dior watched the shattered flesh and blood in the air with a cold smile, but his smile suddenly froze on his face.

A sharp pain shot through his body. He looked down and saw that his body was now covered in bloody holes.

"It was just now." Dio's pupils contracted sharply, and the image of Tanjiro rushing towards him flashed through his mind.

At that moment, a faint fragrance did indeed waft through the air.

"Ha, resorting to such methods," Dio wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Trying to trap me, Dio, with illusions?"

"THE WORLD!"

In the instant time stood still, Dio immediately held his breath and retreated rapidly, quickly creating a distance of tens of meters.

Dior rapidly rotated his wrists, palms facing outwards.

A violent gust of air instantly swept through the entire space, dispersing all the remaining odors in the air.

Dio's vision cleared again, and just then, he saw countless bone spikes attacking him from all directions.

"world!"

A golden clone instantly appeared, unleashing a barrage of punches. Each punch precisely struck the bone spurs, shattering them completely.

"Mu da wood da wood da wood da!"

The shattered bone spikes exploded in the air, turning into countless fragments.

Just then, as time resumed its flow, a sudden change occurred.

"What?!"

Countless spheres of flesh and blood suddenly appeared in the void, densely covering the entire space.

Dio's eyes narrowed, and before he could react, the fleshy spheres exploded simultaneously.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Pfft!"

Blood-red spikes shot out instantly at an astonishing speed.

Even Dio didn't have time to completely dodge; dozens of arrows pierced through his body in an instant.

Even more terrifying is that these spikes begin to grow wildly after piercing the body.

The excruciating pain of flesh being torn apart spread throughout his body, and Dio could clearly feel these things spreading wildly inside him.

Just at this critical moment, a figure suddenly shot out from the smoke and dust.

"Now!" Tanjiro's eyes turned bloodshot, and he shot out like an arrow.

He gripped Tamayo's specially made syringe tightly in his right hand, his blood boiling. This was his only chance; once he missed it, he would never be able to stop Dio again.

Tanjiro concentrated all his strength, aiming the needle straight at Dio's heart.

"Ha, how naive!"

Dio suddenly let out a cold laugh. His veins bulged instantly, and a chilling aura burst forth from his body.

"Vaporization freezing method!"

Extreme cold instantly swept over his entire body, and the sharp spikes inside and outside Dior became extremely fragile under the low temperature.

The sounds of cracking and breaking echoed as all the spikes disintegrated in an instant.

"world!"

The golden Stand appeared instantly in front of Tanjiro, its thick arm blasting out with terrifying pressure.

"I won't let you succeed!" Tanjiro gritted his teeth, his blood surging wildly.

He used his left hand to block with the knife, while simultaneously thrusting the syringe forward with his right hand.

"Bang!"

The world's fist collided with the Nichirin Blade, and the resulting shockwave caused the surrounding rubble to tremble.

But what was even more terrifying was the force transmitted along the blade. Tanjiro felt a sharp pain in his hand, and the bones in his left arm groaned as if they could not bear the weight.

At this critical moment, another fist from the world slammed into Tanjiro's right wrist.

"Bang!"

The sound of bones shattering was clearly audible. Tanjiro's wrist was instantly crushed by the terrifying force, and the syringe flew out of his hand.

But before Tanjiro could even cry out in pain, Dio's right hand had already gripped his throat.

"Since you're so eager to die," Dio lifted Tanjiro up, "then let me enjoy your blood!"

Dio's fingers pierced Tanjiro's neck, and warm blood flowed down his throat.

As his blood continued to drain, Tanjiro's body gradually withered away. His skin turned pale.

But at that moment, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Dio was immersed in the pleasure of drinking blood when he suddenly felt a scorching heat rising from his body.

The feeling was like magma flowing through my veins, with every inch of my flesh being intensely burned.

"This is.!"

Dio abruptly released his grip and staggered backward. But it was too late; the burning sensation had already spread throughout his body.

Tanjiro staggered to his feet and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

A victorious smile spread across his face: "Miss Tamayo's special poison, the kind specifically designed for you."

"When?"

"I knew from the beginning that it was impossible to inject blood into your body." Tanjiro said, slightly out of breath.

"But knowing your personality, you'll definitely choose to drink my blood. So just now, I injected the toxin into my own veins."

Dio's eyes suddenly turned cold: "So that's why you seem so vulnerable? Deliberately letting me drink your blood. Heh, interesting."

"However, with this level of toxin," Dio's veins bulged as he tried to expel the toxins, "you think you can take on me, Dio?"

But this time, his body, which he was so proud of, showed no reaction. The toxin seemed to have seeped into his flesh and blood, inseparable from him.

"The world!"

Dio let out a roar, and time stood still at that moment.

His figure vanished from the spot and reappeared behind Tanjiro, while the world's fist was already slamming into the back of Tanjiro's head.

But just as the fist was about to strike, Tanjiro suddenly turned around, and his Nichirin Blade precisely blocked the trajectory of the fist.

"clang!"

Amidst the clanging of metal, sparks flew. Tanjiro used the force to slide backward, leaving two deep furrows in the ground.

"This is impossible!" Dio's pupils constricted sharply. "How could you... no, it's the toxin affecting the duration of time stop!"

He finally realized something was wrong. What could have been a three-second pause could now not even last one second.

The JoJo body, which had been completely integrated with his own, was now vaguely beginning to feel a sense of rejection again.

"Next," Tanjiro took a deep breath, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes, "let's settle this once and for all, Dio!"
