As for the process and methods, those are not important!
"Sorry, we're full."
What?!
Just as DIO was about to escape through the window through the hole in the wall that his subordinates had just devoured, Jotaro Kujo suddenly emerged from behind the hole, looking at DIO with icy eyes. As he spoke, he controlled Star Platinum, raised his fist, aimed at DIO's head, and slammed it down with all his might.
Just as Star Platinum was about to hit, the heart on 'TheWorld's' right knee suddenly lit up. Then, time began to turn strange. Star Platinum continued to swing its fist at DIO's location, but DIO quietly left and circled behind Jotaro Kujo, running towards the window. Jotaro Kujo seemed completely unaware of this.
This is one of the abilities DIO gained by consuming the blood and lives of others—time erasure. It erases the time when he was attacked and allows him to move freely during this brief 'time erasure', but he cannot attack. However, he can take advantage of the moment when a person is in a daze after the 'time erasure' ends to launch an attack.
But escaping is the priority right now. DIO has already 'foreseen' the future. If he has even the slightest thought of staying, a green double-necked knight will wrap himself around a tornado and slice him into pieces of flesh thinner than paper. In that case, even if a vampire has the strongest self-healing ability, he will definitely be dead.
However, DIO oversimplified the problem. Although during the 'time erasure,' in everyone's consciousness he was still at the place where Star Platinum had brutally beaten him, for a knight who had cultivated sufficient caution during a long battle, how could he not be there after using 'Cyclone'?
Therefore, when DIO reached the window and, at the moment the 'time erasure' ended, he smashed through the glass with lightning speed, preparing to quickly crawl into the sewer to escape, he desperately discovered that a wind field had appeared outside the window, surrounding the entire building. He had just jumped out of the building when he was bounced back by the howling wind in the next second, landing between Gengo and Jotaro Kujo.
"........"
Under everyone's gaze, DIO fell into an awkward silence for a moment. Then, the heart on 'TheWorld' belt glowed, DIO clenched his fist, raised his thumb, and made a gesture as if he wanted to press the bomb detonation button. However, such a gesture was too obvious, and a flash of wind blades instantly interrupted his spellcasting process.
At the same time, Jotaro Kujo and Gengo rushed towards DIO. The howling wind lifted the vampire off the ground. One after the other, Star Platinum and the Knight clenched their fists and swung them at DIO!
Oh no, 'time deletion' hasn't been applied yet...
"Taku—!!"
"Ora ora ora ara!!!"
Amidst their battle cries, DIO was like a plastic bag in the wind, violently shaken as his dented body twisted into bizarre shapes in the air. The horrifying sounds of his body being beaten made even the feverish and delirious Josuke Higashikata tremble with fear.
After a three-minute beating, Gengo and Jotaro roared in unison, one aiming at DIO's head and the other at his heart, delivering a full-force punch that turned DIO's truly riddled body into a broken sandbag. Then, Gengo used wind to gather DIO's scattered flesh together, and then used Ripple to completely destroy him, leaving him no possibility of rebirth.
At the same time, Joseph couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose. The smell emanating from this guy when he was destroyed by Ripple was so foul that even the smell of vomit couldn't mask it. What a terrifying aura of evil it was.
No matter how foul the stench was, the long journey was finally over.
Joseph and Caesar exchanged a glance and smiled from the bottom of their hearts. At the same time, he also noticed that Josuke Higashikata's body temperature was rapidly returning to normal. With just a little stimulation from the Ripple, he would wake up healthy and well.
"Wait...wait a minute, Caesar."
At this moment, Joseph hurriedly stopped Caesar, who was trying to wake Josuke Higashikata. Because of the battle just now, he looked quite disheveled. Since this was his son, he couldn't let him see his father being so immature.
Caesar naturally understood his old friend's thoughts. He shrugged helplessly and withdrew his hand, which was wrapped in ripples. Joseph also breathed a sigh of relief. But just then, a bubble quietly floated out from the other side. Before Joseph could react, it landed on Josuke Higashikata's cheek and burst open with a bang. Golden ripples then flowed into the child's body.
"Caesar—!!"
Joseph gritted his teeth and shouted at his old friend. He had just been fantasizing about how he should make a proper entrance and save his image as a father who had been missing for many years, but now, all of that was ruined because of this guy's prank.
"Hahaha......"
"Ugh... Ugh?!"
Amidst Caesar's triumphant laughter, Josuke Higashikata slowly opened his eyes, meeting Joseph's complex gaze. The shared bloodline compelled him to reach out and touch the old man's beard and dusty face. Then, as if remembering something, the boy struggled to look to his side, seeing Genji, who had deactivated his transformation, giving him an affirmative smile. Josuke then pouted, hugged Joseph, and burst into tears. Joseph sighed deeply, gently stroking the boy's head, all his emotions unspoken.
"Yare yare..."
Looking at his uncle, who was at least ten years younger than him, Jotaro Kujo sighed with a headache and helplessness, tugging at the brim of his hat. Gengo chuckled and patted him on the shoulder. Jotaro Kujo glanced at Gengo and smiled, a rare occurrence for him. In a way, these two started their friendship by beating up DIO.
"Phew... Is it over yet?"
At that moment, Mohawk and Avdol walked in from outside the ward. They had just been with Kakyoin Noriaki. After the time stop ended, knowing they might be a hindrance, they chose to eliminate the vampires that DIO had transformed into. Although there were Stand users among those vampires, they were quickly eliminated by the three of them working together.
"Huh? Where's Kakyoin?"
"Here I am."
Kakyoin Noriaki, wiping his hands, entered and answered Avdol:
“I just saw a priest acting suspiciously, his eyes full of hatred as he looked at us. He must have been one of DIO’s accomplices, so I set a trap for him and eliminated him.”
Well, the Emperor's Barrier, which failed to work on DIO, was applied to his accomplice by this boy without hesitation.
"Since it's all over, I'll leave now."
Gensho stretched lazily, a lazy smile on his face, and waved goodbye to everyone. This accidental request had unexpectedly unlocked the effect of 'time resistance,' and it had to be said that even without a reward, it was quite worthwhile. However...
Gensou tilted his head, blinked with a worried look on his face. To add another "+1" to the existing level, the effort required would be several times greater than before. He had almost gone through the entire timeline of human civilization with Shotaro-senpai to get his "time resistance +2". What kind of terrifying event would he have to encounter to get another "+1" next time?
Forget it, if I don't want to add it, I don't want to add it. My young bones really can't handle any more of this.
"Yuanxiang, have you finished thinking about things?"
Those who had initially wanted to persuade Gensou to stay immediately fell silent upon seeing the boy's thoughtful and troubled expression, afraid of disrupting his train of thought. As soon as Gensou came to his senses, Caesar spoke up, asking a question. At the same time, Kakyoin Noriaki stepped forward, looking at Gensou and saying:
“Mr. Gensho, you saved my life, so please don’t leave in such a hurry. Let me express my gratitude a little.”
"Cough cough."
Jotaro Kujo coughed slightly, then pointed at Joseph, who was comforting his son, and whispered:
"The old man is very rich, you don't need to be polite."
"Hey! Jotaro, call me grandfather properly!!"
"Stop nagging! You old geezer!"
Seeing the relaxed smiles on everyone's faces, Gensho couldn't help but laugh as well, waving his hand at them and saying:
"No, no, I appreciate your kindness, but I really have to go back first. I just got back from a business trip, and now I've disappeared again without a trace. My sister must be so worried."
"Hmm! Brother Yuanxiang, you have a younger sister?"
At this point, the man with the mohawk seemed to have instantly found common ground with Gensho, and he chuckled as he leaned closer and said:
"We really can't delay. It would be a huge mistake for an older brother to make his lovely little sister sad!"
"Mmm! That's it, buddy, you're surprisingly knowledgeable!"
Yuanxiang nodded vigorously, gave a thumbs-up, and grasped the mohawk-haired man's wrist, approvingly praising him:
"My name is Yuanxiang. I don't know your name yet, young man."
“Jane Pierre Polunarev, if you think my name is too long, you can call me Popo.”
"Okay, Bobo, come visit me sometime, and I'll introduce you to my lovely little sister!"
"No problem, it's a date then!!"
Seeing the two guys smiling broadly and giving a thumbs-up as they made their promise, everyone's expressions became somewhat complicated. Because... they all knew that Polnareff had initially joined their team to avenge his sister, who had been killed by DIO's henchmen. Now, he was so cheerful and openly discussing this issue with Gengo... they really didn't want to break this pleasant atmosphere.
Ok?
Just then, Gengo suddenly realized something and pulled Polnareff, who was still laughing and talking about how cute his 'little sister' was, behind him to protect him. Then, he looked sharply at the rooftop across the street, where he saw a child wearing a black cloak and with golden twin tails who had appeared there at some point. She was like an elf of the night, expressionless, but Gengo inexplicably saw a hint of envy in her eyes.
Genji was taken aback by the look in the child's eyes. In addition, the child did not exude any murderous aura like his own, and appeared to be about the same age as Takamachi Nanoha. Therefore, he instinctively lowered his guard and wanted to ask the child if he needed help.
But in that instant, Gengo suddenly felt something gathering around him. It was so fast that Gengo didn't even have time to transform before he was bound by a magic circle that looked like shackles. The power of the 'Joker' was fiercely fighting against the restraints, but in battle, even a fleeting opening is a deadly threat, let alone such a high-intensity power restraint.
So, even though Jotaro Kujo and the others wanted to rescue and protect Gengo, the girl suddenly burst out, and with supersonic speed, she took Gengo away in an instant, giving the others no time to react.
Meanwhile, Yuanxiang, who was being pressed down on some wetland by the girl, slightly twitched his eyelids and subtly moved his body. In his original calculations, being hit by the ground at that speed, given his physical strength, would have cost him at least half his life, if not killed.
But now, I am safe and sound. Needless to say, it was this child who shielded me from that deadly shock. She truly has no hostility towards me.
What are you looking for?
Yuanxiang looked at the girl who was fumbling in her pockets and tentatively asked in a soft voice:
"Why don't you ask me? Since you're just as cute as my sister, I might consider telling you the answer directly."
"........"
Yuanxiang could feel that after he said those words, the child's movements stiffened noticeably, and a very faint blush appeared on her expressionless face. Sure enough, she was just envying the love from her brother.
"Don't be so cold. Look, I've turned all my pockets inside out, and they're all empty. So tell me what's going on. How do you know I won't answer if you don't even ask?"
"...The Seed of the Holy Stone."
".......What the heck?"
After a brief silence, the girl finally spoke, asking, "My mother said that the timeline of this world has changed drastically, and there might be a lost Holy Stone Seed. So she has to come and retrieve it. But after she used magic to locate the Holy Stone Seed, she found that she could only confirm that the item was on this 'Source Village,' but she couldn't find its exact location."
"Wait, don't rush. Describe what that thing looks like. I don't understand your technical terms."
Seeing the child's face harden again, Yuanxiang quickly added, unwilling to give up this easy lead. The child hesitated for a moment, then described the situation as Yuanxiang had requested. Afterward, Yuanxiang smiled calmly, tapped his chest with his chin, and said:
"Untie it, it's on my chest."
? !
Upon hearing this, the child paused for a moment, but obediently unbuttoned Gensou's shirt. The first thing that caught her eye was the fragment of the Moon Emperor Stone hanging on Gensou's chest. The immense energy contained within it immediately stunned the child. At the same time, Gensou's gaze fell on her face out of the corner of his eye.
However, the child immediately looked away, swept the Moon Emperor Stone aside, pulled open Yuanxiang's inner shirt, saw the crystal embedded in Yuanxiang's body, and fell silent.
"That thing must be broken by now."
At this moment, Gensou said softly, "I overloaded that thing during the battle, and it stopped responding afterward. If you want it, you can dig it out, but I have a small request."
Noticing the child looking at him, Yuanxiang winked mischievously, smiled brightly, and said softly:
"Could you tell me your name? Are you my..."
"......"
"How is it? Is it good?"
"...Fate."
As Genshou watched, the child raised his staff, pointing it at Genshou's chest, his face slightly flushed, and spoke in a calm tone:
"Fate Testarossa".
144 Um... continue?
As soon as Fate finished speaking, a complex magic circle appeared at the tip of her wand, which then struck Genji's chest hard. Stimulated, the 'Joker' immediately began to react violently, trying to break free of the mysterious magical shackles, but Genji took the initiative to suppress it so that Fate's magical ritual could proceed.
Although it was a magical ritual, Fate's method of removing the Holy Stone Seed was quite simple and brutal. After the magic circle and the Holy Stone Seed were deactivated, she seemingly easily pulled it outwards, and the crystal detached from Genji's chest with a 'pop'. Along with it, blood splattered high, and Genji's expression couldn't help but crease slightly. This pain was truly like having his heart ripped out.
However, although Fate successfully removed the Seed of the Holy Stone from Gensou's chest, the crystal turned into dust as soon as it left Gensou's body and dissipated into the world. Just as Gensou had said before, this thing was broken, just like the Seed of the Holy Stone of Shinichi. If it weren't for him as the vessel, it would have long since disintegrated in the long river of time.
To be honest, Gengo was constantly worried about the crystal on his chest that should have disappeared. He had been thinking of digging it out after preparing medical supplies, but before he could do anything, Fate came to 'help' him. That's why Gengo suppressed the 'Joker's' restlessness.
However... it's better to do it myself than to let the child do it; at least I know what's important.
Seeing Fate reach out to grab the dust of the Sacred Stone Seed, Genji twitched his lips and said softly:
