Great, we're doomed now!

To overcome this obstacle, the same blood must be offered as a sacrifice—that is, you, Joseph Joestar!

Thank you for bringing yourself to me!

hum~

Large raindrops vanished into thin air—

Get out of the way!

The sub-aerial miasma left a vacuum "tunnel" along its path, which in turn caused turbulence and made the heavy rain even more violent.

This time, however, the [Void Miasma] did not stay in the mansion, but instead rushed out without stopping!

"Varied!"

The two Qiao sisters turned around in astonishment, staring at the large hole that allowed them to see all the way to the outside world, their pupils suddenly contracting.

"Escape... no, he was sent away. This must have been Dio's order. The target was probably the radiation device outside the mansion and Jotaro!"

But...why?

In this situation, he's transferring his most capable lieutenant away, leaving himself to deal with us all alone? Is Dio really that arrogant?

"Oh no, we have to warn the people outside quickly, this is no joke!" Bobo suddenly became anxious, but then he heard a loud shout.

"Don't leave the water, Polnareff—[Hermit Purple]!"

Amidst the shimmering ripples, purple vines swiftly wrapped around everyone's waists, connecting the four of them into one.

Joseph stared intently at Dio: "We have only one goal, and that is Dio!"

From this moment forward, we are all bound by the [Hermit's Purple]. Whoever dies will be immediately known to the others. And your only task is to eliminate Dio with all your might!

“Mr. Joseph!” Avdol was impressed by the spirit of the two Josephs and immediately showed a resolute expression.

The determination to fight to the death boosted everyone's morale to its peak, but Ye Shou seemed oblivious, his expression remaining unchanged.

"Joseph...didn't you notice?"

"Hmm?" Er Qiao glanced at Ye Shou quickly. "What do you mean?"

"We may have been focusing too much attention on the enemy in front of us, and this Dio... is a bit strange."

Ye Shou shut his mouth, paused for a moment, and then said seriously, "I'm not a member of the Joestar family, so I can't sense it very clearly, but there's definitely something wrong!"

"This is completely different from the Dior I imagined!"

Different? But this is the first time we've seen Dior in person, and this appearance is undoubtedly...

Joseph suddenly sensed something, abruptly looked up, and frowned deeply.

"Indeed... every time I read and write, I feel an indescribable chill. This man is simply the embodiment of evil. Even just his back view is terrifying."

But right now, all I feel is the coldness of the rain. Is this thing... hiding something?

"What's wrong? Why aren't you launching an attack? You've come from afar to punish me, yet these glorious warriors have lost their courage at such close range?"

Dio gave a mocking smile: "That's pathetic. Jonathan is much braver than you. He's just a mortal, yet he dares to face me alone, someone who transcends humanity... Hmph, it's unbearable to watch."

"Trying to provoke us with these kinds of words? You're being incredibly naive!"

Joseph suppressed his doubts and said loudly, "Aren't you also afraid of Ripple, which is why you dare not make a move?"

This should have been a sore spot for Dior, but to everyone's surprise, he burst into laughter upon hearing it.

"Ha! That's ridiculous~"

Do you really think I'm afraid of any Ripple? Having already gained the power of a Stand, I no longer care about such ridiculous tricks—

Look closely, Joseph.

"what!"

To the astonishment of Joseph Joestar, Dio, shirtless, took a step forward into the empty space ahead—

call!

He fell from a height of ten meters to the ground, splashing up countless water droplets, and a fit body was exposed in the pool of water.

—Dio, he opened his arms wide to face the heavy rain!

"Come on, Jonathan's grandson, your blood feud begins here!"

impossible!"

Avdol adopted a defensive stance: "That Dio actually... walked right into a death trap!"

In this weather, Dio was essentially submerged in a pool of water; any of the three Ripple warriors present could kill him with Aja's redstone.

Victory is within reach!

"No! Something's definitely wrong!"

Dio wouldn't be so arrogant as to willingly throw his life away. He's an arrogant but cautious fellow, and there must be a reason why he did this!

The suspicion previously aroused by Ye Shou now clouded Joseph's mind: "A trap...is this a trap? Everyone, don't act rashly, I'll handle this—"

Snapped!

Water splashing~

Before the two Qiaos could finish speaking, a figure rushed out, lightning illuminating the night, a silver figure almost blending into it, leaving the three with a resolute back view.

"Polnareff!"

"Roar~ Silver Chariot!"

Metal Knight appeared beside him, but Polnareff only had eyes for Dio, who was brazenly making no attempt to defend himself.

Joseph's calls reached his ears, but he ignored them, his swift steps demonstrating the skills honed over twenty years of training.

A trap? Whatever!

Unlike Avdol, who possesses an all-powerful elemental Stand, or Joseph and Ye Shou, who have mastered Ripple to its fullest extent, his only weapons are the two swords in his heart and the two swords in his hands.

This is insignificant compared to the ability to stop time, and he is also the least threatening of the four to Dio.

So, it's okay if he dies here!

Regardless of whether Dio has hidden any traps, he will inevitably reveal his weaknesses when he fights him.

Even if you die during a time stop, everything that happens will be transmitted to Joseph by the Hermit Purple, thus exposing Dio's secret!

He was fearless; all the gloom had been cut off by the sword in his heart, and only one thought drove him:

Even if they lose themselves, their remaining companions can still defeat Dio!

"Prepare to die, Silver Ripple Dash!"

Two fingers shot out straight out like swords, and the Stand's rapier sliced ​​through the raindrops. The newly learned Ripple technique gleamed with silver arcs in the void, like a bolt of lightning piercing Dio's brow!

--puff!

Unsurprisingly, the rapier pierced Dio's skull.

"!"

The fact that it went so smoothly made Popo's eyes widen, and Joseph and the others couldn't believe it either.

But then, silver ripples flowed into Dio's body, and his flesh began to melt as if it were butter—

Snapped!

The oil exploded in the boiling oil, and golden liquid splattered all over Polnareff!

"What the hell is that?"

Then, a pair of arms emerged from Dior's body, grabbing Bobo's wrists, and a head popped out from his chest.

"what!"

A man with long black hair and a fleshy bud between his eyebrows emerged from the melting body of "Dior"!

"Got you, Polnareff!"

Enveloped by my "Yellow Restraint," you have nowhere to escape!

"You, you—"

It's not Dior!

There was definitely a trap!

"If he isn't Dio, then where is his true form...?"

Sa!

The stinging sensation made Ye Shou look down at his arm, where a trace of blood gradually emerged from under his clothes. Although he hadn't seen any flying object, it was clearly a wound from a sharp blade.

Time stop?

No, this isn't Dior's style, this is...

"From the sky!"

Ye Shou suddenly looked up and shouted sharply, "Watch out for the substitute attack—it's Horus!"

The moment the words left their mouths, the water beneath their feet froze instantly, turning their bodies into frost, and the raindrops all stretched into ice needles as they fell—

This is the unseen flying device!

call!

As if the needle rain wasn't enough, a huge ice spike, the size of a car, was smashing down on Ye Shou!

"Ripple Dash!"

The explosive heat instantly thawed his legs. Ye Shou twisted his waist, channeling all his strength into a spiral, causing the red stone embedded in his wristband to shine brightly. His golden iron fist collided head-on with the ice spike—

boom!

Thousands of fragments flew everywhere, and the ripple energy on Ye Shou's body almost solidified, standing proudly in the sharp icy rain. The flying needles were evaporated before they even touched his body.

"Are you alright, everyone? Abudul, what happened to you...?"

Bang, bang!

Two consecutive impacts rang out, and Ye Shou opened his eyes wide, slowly turning around to look—
