Behind-the-scenes video of the beginning of Honkai.

Page 67

"Come on, you stubborn old man from the parallel world, don't lose to this bad guy!"

Kiana, who was in space, was also cheering for Qigefei. For some reason, seeing this scene made Kiana feel excited.

"I never imagined Siegfried could be so manly!"

Seeing Siegfried fighting Dior in the video, even Theresa, who was at odds with Siegfried, had to admit that Siegfried was truly charming at that moment.

"Haha! I never thought I'd get a highlight reel!"

Siegfried didn't have a good impression of his parallel self when he thought the parallel self wanted to use Cecilia Adam's sacrifice to achieve some kind of world peace wish. However, when his parallel self genuinely went to save Cecilia and there was such a cool scene, he had to admit that his 'self' was really cool!

"Why did Siegfried have such a glorious moment, while I was simply betrayed and forced to leave the stage!"

Raiden Ryoma also felt resentful. How come Siegfried had such a cool scene, while he was eliminated like a clown? He felt the deep malice of the world.

"Ryoma, you're lucky. In the parallel world, I'm a major villainous boss, and I'll probably end up in a really bad situation!"

Ever since he betrayed Ryoma in the parallel world, the atmosphere between the two has become somewhat awkward.

"However, both Dio's Stand and Siegfried's Stand, who became a Servant, have time-stopping abilities. Could there be a connection between them?"

Even Welt Yang found Dio's Stand ability, which was time-stopping, troublesome. After all, even the Herrscher of the Void only controlled the power of space. If the Herrscher of the Void hadn't misused her powers, humanity would probably have been finished during the Second Honkai Impact.

Even so, defeating the Herrscher of the Void came at a huge cost. This time-stop ability is a time-related power and is quite unsolvable, since everything is equal before time. The only way Welt Yang could think of to deal with such an opponent was to eliminate him before he could use his ability.

"As expected, the precision of my world's power is still superior to yours!"

In the duel between the World and Star Platinum, a blow struck his face, and Siegfried simultaneously coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Now I know the outcome, and you're useless now. I'll finish you off in one fell swoop!"

"Then give it a try and see if it works!"

Siegfried looked at Dio with disdain, which completely enraged Dio.

"I've long decided that I will show no mercy to the Emiya family and will put them to death!"

"I'll give you a dignified death. My decisive blow will be delivered with the world's true power—"

"World! Stop time!"

Dio spread his arms in the air and shouted. In the world after time was stopped, everything except Dio turned black and white, but Dio, unaffected, slowly floated toward Siegfried.

"Let the Emiya family be severed here! Farewell, my nemesis who appeared in my destiny!"

But at that moment, Siegfried's finger suddenly twitched, leaving Dio completely stunned.

"Impossible! After time stopped, why would anyone else be able to move besides me!"

Before Dio could figure it out, Siegfried's finger twitched again, and Dio quickly dodged.

"What?! He just moved!"

"This...how is this possible...this guy's finger actually moved just now!"

"No...impossible...impossible...the same?"

Only then did Dio remember that Siegfried had said that his Stand, Star Platinum, and his Stand, The World, were the same type of Stand.

"Could Siegfried see me during time stop?"

At that moment, the time stop was over, and Siegfried turned his head to look at Dio.

Can you...see me?

However, Siegfried looked at Dio calmly and did not answer Dio's question.

Dio, seeing Siegfried's expression, roared angrily, "I'm asking you! Can you see me? Siegfried!"

"Heh! Who knows, Dior!"

It then changed direction and flew to another location, with Dio following suit.

"You're something else, but whatever. In a world where time stands still, whether you can see it or not, if you can move freely like I can in my world, then let me see it!"

"Let me assess just how strong you really are!"

"World! Stop time!"

Dio paused time again, but this time Siegfried made no move.

"As expected, it was all a coincidence before. Let it end here, Siegfried!"

The World charged straight at Siegfried, and Dio, having lost patience, wanted to finish Siegfried off immediately. However, just as the World was about to touch Siegfried, Star Platinum pierced through the World's chest.

"What!?" Dio's chest was also pierced through, blood gushing out. "You... this guy... you can actually move, even if only for a moment, you really can move. You lured me in so you could ambush me, right!"

"But... but it's you, a descendant of the Emiya family, who has barged into my personal frozen time!"

Then the injured Dio fell into a shop, and Siegfried chased after him, only to find that Dio's wounds had already healed.

"Vampires regenerate really fast, huh? Looks like I won't be able to deal with you, Dio, unless I blow your head off!"

"I admit I underestimated you. You actually followed my gaze with your eyes. I can see you can already keep track of my movements, Siegfried!"

"I have to thank you for this, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to crack your world so quickly!"

Siegfried had memorized the feeling of time stop after fighting his parallel world counterpart. He spent the next day practicing this feeling, but he was still not proficient. In his battle with Dio, his time stop further helped him improve this power.

"Even so, let me guess how many seconds you can move during time stop. Let me guess, one second, two seconds, or five seconds like me, but just pretending not to move? What is the answer?"

"So be thankful now. I'm going to get serious now. It doesn't matter how many seconds you can act, Siegfried!"

"World! Time, stop!"

The world turned black and white once again, just as Dior was preparing for his next move.

But one thing never stopped! That was Siegfried's relentless fist!

"Platinum Star: World!"

The next second, under Star Platinum's merciless blow, Dio's skull shattered.

"What? How is that possible!"

"Oh!"

Dio was thrown directly from mid-air to the ground.

"Finally, we hit him in the head."

"But this guy shouldn't be dead yet, we can't let our guard down!"

"I'll kill you! I'm going to kill you!"

Dio spoke from the ruins, his eyes fixed on Siegfried with a vicious glare, wishing he could tear him to pieces.

"What? No way! My feet... my legs are too weak, I can't stand up."

"My head hurts so much...and I feel a little nauseous...How could this happen? Why am I, Dior, feeling unwell?"

"My head was damaged, and now I can't even stand up?"

"This, this is a new moon!"

At this moment, Dio looked up at the moon hanging in the sky and knew that even if it hadn't arrived yet, it should be soon!

"Damn it, I need to figure out how to escape from here first. Once I find a location, I'll be the one to win in the end!"

To reach heaven... it's not just about the new moon; the new moon is just a point in time. What's important is the 'gravity' at that point in time!

You must find this spot; if you find it wrong, you might be a day or two late in reaching heaven! But if you find it right, it's not impossible to arrive a day or two earlier!

Now he needs to find this "position"! Find the best "position" where his Stand can evolve perfectly!

"Platinum Star: World!"

Time stopped once again.

"call----"

As the distance between them continued to close, Platinum Star clenched his fist.

Dio's expression was somewhat unpleasant. Having the ability to stop time as well, he naturally entered this stopped time as well.

But—I can't move!

Although he could see Siegfried's Star Platinum moving, he couldn't move. He was so badly injured that he didn't even have time to use the world before time stopped.

Seeing that Siegfried had already arrived, he could close the distance between them in just one second at his speed. If Jotaro Kujo could stop for five seconds like him... then Siegfried could beat him up to his heart's content in the next four seconds!

"I'll execute you right here, Dior!"

"Ora ora ora ora——————!!"

For a full four seconds, Star Platinum's fists relentlessly struck Dio's head: "I'll smash your head, pierce your heart! And then, when dawn breaks, I'll turn you to dust!"

boom----

The blood congealed in mid-air, and Dio's face, ripped to shreds, remained suspended in mid-air, with shards of bone still visible.

A normal human being would have been dead long ago by now.

As for what will happen to Dior, Siegfried neither knew nor wanted to know.

"Time begins to flow—"

boom--

Dio, who had been hit hard, was sent flying.

"Hahaha! Siegfried, you've fallen for my trap! This is exactly my escape route!"

"boom!"

But just then a gunshot rang out, blowing Dio's head off.

"Who goes there!?"

Siegfried also showed vigilance at the sudden gunshot, after all, he didn't know whether the other party was friend or foe.
