The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

"Although I could only stop the blink of an eye at first, I have become more and more familiar with this ability after using it for a few days. Now I can stop time for three seconds."

"Your speed is indeed too fast to be captured by the naked eye, but it is meaningless in front of me who can stop time."

As he spoke, he yawned and moved without any tension.

He raised a finger and flicked Lin Qiao's spider-shaped visor.

"But even if I say this, you won't be able to hear it now."

"so--"

"Platinum Star!"

Chapter 15 The Invisible Challenger

What…happened?

Lin Qiao's brain went blank for a moment.

The scenery in front of me is rapidly receding - no, it's not the scenery around me that is receding.

The one who is regressing is... him?

"what……!"

It was only later that I felt the clear and intense dull pain in my chest and one side of my head.

It was as if at some point in time, a super strong man had beaten him up.

There were several fist marks on the armor on the chest, and there seemed to be cracks on the armor on the visor.

bang——

The body flew more than ten meters before falling back to the ground, and under the action of inertia, the body and the sand surface made a rustling sound.

“What on earth is this…?”

I endured the pain and took a few deep breaths.

I have to admit, it was indeed extremely painful, but thanks to this, his mind, which had been overwhelmed by anger due to A2's death, calmed down a little... although it was really only a little.

The rage that made him want to tear the person in front of him into pieces showed no sign of extinguishing.

Moreover, compared to keeping a cool head, he wanted to see Li Teng's brain running wild.

He got up from the ground. From the moment the injury occurred, his body's repair ability had already started working, and the originally severe pain was disappearing quickly.

Although this is just a method similar to anesthesia and it will take some time to truly heal, at least it will not affect the battle.

And his injury wasn't serious to begin with.

Lin Qiao quickly adjusted his state and assumed a fighting stance again.

"Time...stop, substitute?"

He recalled the last scene he saw before he was blown away by the unknown force.

"The World".

Then it all makes sense.

Moreover, although the distance between Li Teng and his final standing position was not much different, it was indeed a change similar to frame skipping.

"It seems you also know my abilities."

There wasn't much surprise in his tone.

Li Teng walked to the top of the sand dune and looked down at Lin Qiao, who seemed to have no other injuries except for some pain.

It was obvious that he had just been beaten up by Star Platinum's full-strength attack when time was stopped, but he was still in a state of dragon, fire and tiger.

"Tsk, your body is really hard, you stinky crab."

With a cold snort, if it weren't for the amazing defensive power provided by the armor, everything should have been over.

So stacking armor is still very necessary.

"... "

Facing Li Teng's ridicule, Lin Qiao did not respond.

Although I have figured out his abilities, it is hard to say whether his Stand is Star Platinum or The World...

No, that's not important.

In terms of type and ability, there is no essential difference between the two. Both are close-range power stands and can stop time.

The key is to be able to stop for a few seconds.

and…

boom!

He pulled out the smoke gun and quickly fired an American Iai shot at Li Teng.

"Ola!"

A rough war cry was heard, and waving his arms thicker than an adult's thigh, the Platinum Star beside Li Teng easily knocked away the incoming light bullets.

However, from Lin Qiao's perspective, the destructive light bullet shot towards Li Teng had changed its own trajectory.

“I can’t see it…”

Lin Qiao muttered in a voice that only she could hear.

As a manifestation of spiritual power, only the Stand User can see the Stand...although the existence of a system makes this theory not absolute.

But unfortunately, Lin Qiao is not one of the exceptions.

Not only does the opponent have the ability to stop time, but he can't even see.

It's the worst possible scenario!

So, should we retreat temporarily to be on the safe side?

No, that's absolutely impossible!

Thinking of A2's last appearance, the anger that had already burned in his heart made him reject this safe method.

For Lin Qiao, just standing here and watching that guy talking nonsense was already reaching the limit of her endurance.

——Kill him!

It has nothing to do with the system's resurrection match. This is all he wants to do now.

With fists clenched and eyes fixed on Li Teng on the sand dune, Lin Qiao strode over.

"Wow~ You're not running away? You know my ability of "The World", but you're actually walking towards me? That android risked his life to save yours, so why are you so eager to go back?"

“…If I don’t come closer, how can I kill you?”

"Heh, are you playing some old trick? But never mind, since you came here on your own initiative, why not come a little closer..."

But before he could finish his words, the muzzle of the smoke gun was pointed at him.

Bang bang bang!

He pulled the trigger quickly, and one destructive light bullet after another shot towards Li Teng.

But just like before, the destructive light bullet was shot away by Star Platinum.

"It's too slow. With this rate of fire, there's no need to even use "The World"!"

This is indeed the case.

As one of the few 5A-level panel stands, Star Platinum is the ceiling among all stands in terms of speed and strength.

Coupled with the ridiculous precision, dealing with a smoke gun with a pistol-like firing speed is not even a warm-up.

Of course, Lin Qiao also knew this.

Just as the two sides approached within a range of about ten meters, two extremely huge scarlet spider legs suddenly unfolded behind him.

"Ola Ola Ola Ola!"

With a battle cry that Lin Qiao could not hear, Star Platinum used high-speed punches that could leave afterimages and started hitting the two spider legs at the same time.

What a powerful force!

He forced himself to keep his body steady and controlled the two spider legs to repeat the downward movement.

But compared to him who was somewhat reluctant, Li Teng on the opposite side was still in a leisurely manner, and his speed of walking towards Lin Qiao did not change at all.

Lin Qiao stared at the front where even the air began to vibrate.

There, in the dust raised by the ground, there was a vague human-shaped space.

"Is that a stand-in?"

It is really impossible to tell from this overly rough appearance whether it is Star Platinum or the World...

But that doesn't matter anymore.

Now that we can see the rough outline, the next thing to do is simple.

Once again, it unfolded the remaining two spider legs from behind and attacked Li Teng's body together.

"Heh, you don't think an attack of this magnitude would be useful?"

Even though he had two more spider legs, it was still manageable for his Star Platinum.

The vibrations in the air became more intense and frequent, but Li Teng remained calm and walked towards Lin Qiao, who was standing still to steady himself.

Then--

"Platinum Star·TheWorld!!!"

Just when the distance between them was close enough, Li Teng activated the time stop again.

only--

Just before he stopped time, Lin Qiao was ready.

"SteamBreak!"

"Bat!"

The muzzle of the smoke gun was pointed diagonally downward, and Lin Qiao decisively pulled the trigger.

Then——

Time stops at this moment.

Chapter 16: The Weakness of Star Platinum

It is true that stopping time is a powerful ability, but unfortunately, with Li Teng's current ability, 3 seconds is the limit.

In this regard, those indescribable anime that often stop for an hour or a day are much better.

However, if you want to add a Star Platinum with double A in strength and speed within these three seconds, that’s another story.

There aren't many people who can be killed by Platinum Star Ora for at least three seconds.

But at the moment, Li Teng is indeed caught in a dilemma.

Although he planned to finish off Lin Qiao once and for all during the time pause, he hesitated when he saw the purple lethal light bullet that was sprayed out from the muzzle of the smoke gun and was about to fall to the ground beside Lin Qiao.

"Area attack?"

He also saw it when Night Rogue used his ultimate move before.

To put it bluntly, if he really got hit head-on, given his physique, he would probably die on the spot.

So as it is now, Lin Qiao's behavior of including himself in the killing range makes him very uncomfortable.

After all, although Star Platinum is strong, as his original body, he is just an ordinary person who is slightly stronger. He cannot be compared with those traversers with enhanced physical bodies.

He must die.

Once he chooses to attack Lin Qiao, he will naturally be affected by the explosion caused by the fatal light bullet after the time stop ends.

Even if he didn't die at that time, he would be seriously injured - even the distance he was at now was very dangerous.
