He then walked up to the white man who was still lying on the ground holding Barrett, and dismantled that powerful weapon into a pile of scrap metal as well.

"How could you let such a cute white-haired loli wield such a threatening weapon?"

"Four seconds, passed."

“Blank, I, Su Chen, acknowledge your strategies and abilities. For an ordinary person, this would have been the end of the game.”

He turned all the automatic machine gun turrets firing from all directions 180 degrees, aiming them at their master.

"Unfortunately, I'm different! Now, when time resumes its flow, you'll already be 'dead.' Victory belongs to KoNo Su Chen!"

Finally, in the instant before the stillness of time was about to resume its flow, he returned to the place where he had first appeared.

It was as if it had never moved.

"—Time begins to flow"

Time to restore.

"—Fire!!"

The roar of the void abruptly ceased.

He stared blankly at the pile of cold metal parts that had suddenly appeared in his hands, then looked at the same pile of things in his sister's arms.

Finally, he slowly raised his head and saw dozens of dark gun barrels, exuding an aura of death, appearing from all directions of the room, all pointed precisely at his and his sister's foreheads.

"..."

"..."

"N...Nani?"

Kong's confidence and composure, that of a genius player, finally crumbled completely at this moment.

Instead, there was a bewildered feeling, as if they had seen a ghost.

'I can't understand what this man did.'

"you you…"

He pointed at Su Chen, whose face was radiating invincibility, his lips trembling, unable to utter a complete sentence.

"You cheat!"

In the end, all the shock and resentment turned into this powerless wail filled with the aura of a defeated dog.

Su Chen looked at him like this and simply put her hands in her pockets.

Then, mimicking the cool tone of an invincible high school student, he said:

"I didn't cheat."

"only…"

His gaze swept over the pile of scrap metal and the automated turrets that had become mere decorations.

"My double and your petty cleverness that relies on props and calculations."

"—In terms of 'performance,' they are not even in the same league."

He paused for a moment, then delivered his final verdict.

"The first game."

"I won."

……

He slumped to the ground, completely lost in thought.

He lost.

The loss was inexplicable.

The loss was completely unreasonable.

He couldn't understand at all what kind of "magic" the other party had used.

He glanced discreetly at Bai, the white-haired girl who had always been taciturn, who had somehow taken out her tablet computer.

The screen was flashing countless data models she had just deduced based on those "disappeared" few seconds.

A trembling voice rang in his ear, but its tone was full of certainty, as if it knew the answer to some question.

"elder brother."

Her voice was small.

"I see…"

"That guy's abilities..."

Her finger flew across the screen, drawing a straight line representing the "timeline," before she used a red pen to sharply erase a small section from the middle.

"Yes—time stops!"

"In that 'still world,' he was the only one who could move freely!"

"It's like pressing the pause button on a video recorder!"

"—I see! So that's how it is!"

The light in Kong's eyes instantly returned!

"I understand! I understand everything! No wonder, it all makes sense now. So this is the true power of his 'ghost'!"

"Well done, Bai!"

He suddenly leaped to his feet, his face regaining the confidence of a genius player!

"Su Chen, I have completely seen through the true power of your substitute—[TheWorld]!"

Chapter 49: The Truth About "The World"!

No sooner had Su Chen declared his victory than he heard Kong's shocking words.

"Su Chen, I have completely seen through the true power of your Stand—[TheWorld]!"

The roar of emptiness echoed in the vast top-floor hall.

The previous bewilderment was no longer on his face.

Instead, there was a radiance of excitement and confidence, as if a world-class problem had been solved!

Su Chen looked at him with amusement. "You said you know? Know what?"

Kong pulled Bai along, and the two stood up from the ground, patting off non-existent dust from their bodies.

"You say you won? Yes, you did win this game, I admit it!"

"But this game, from the very beginning, was not meant to be won."

His tone returned to its usual languid and confident as he spoke, snapping his fingers in the air.

moment.

The dozens of gun barrels that had been pointed at the siblings all drooped limply, returning to standby mode.

"Did you do this on purpose?"

Yui Yuigahama watched this scene with some confusion.

The other two were also shocked, never expecting that this duo would scheme to such an extent.

"Of course! Blank never does anything meaningless."

Kong pushed up his non-existent glasses, revealing a profound and inscrutable expression.

He slowly walked to a huge display screen behind him.

On the screen, all the monitoring data streams from those "disappeared" few seconds are being replayed.

Although the scene remained unchanged, it seemed as if Su Chen hadn't moved at all.

"Like a clumsy magician."

"He wanted the audience to think that the pigeons disappeared and reappeared out of thin air."

"But! All we need is a high-speed camera to capture his hand-switching motion, which is so fast that it's impossible for the naked eye to see it!"

"—Then, the 'truth' of this so-called 'magic' will be completely exposed!"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to his sister, who had remained silent.

Bai nodded.

She held up the tablet in her hand.

On the screen, countless final models she had just deduced based on those few seconds of "disappearance" and all of Su Chen's action data were flashing wildly.

Kong pointed one finger at Su Chen and the other at the clock next to him.

"Although you appear not to have moved, you actually have! You've even taken a series of actions!"

"Until I met you, I couldn't believe that such an invincible ability existed in this world."

"Your Stand's ability is to stop [time]! Is that right, Su Chen!"

"However, you can't stop time for too long, otherwise we would have been gone in the first place."

"There should be a time limit, right?"

Empty voice echoed in everyone's ears; at that moment, he looked exactly like some old man.

"Hahaha! You guys are really impressive! You're something else!"

"That's right, TheWorld's ability is to stop time."

Su Chen looked at Kong with great interest. He hadn't expected that the two siblings would understand the truth about the [World] in such a short time.

That's so clever!

"elder brother."

"I have calculated the approximate timeframe within which he can stop time."

Bai finished his calculations and analysis and looked at Su Chen.

"About 4 or 5 seconds."

Upon hearing Bai's words, Su Chen thought of an old friend who loved eating small bread rolls, and suddenly felt the urge to do something funny.

He began, mimicking DIO's tone:

"Wow, you guessed pretty accurately!"

"As a reward for guessing my [world], I'll tell you!"

"5 seconds, that's it for now. At first it was just a moment, but with practice I could stop for 2 seconds, 3 seconds, and the time I could stop was getting longer and longer. It might sound strange to say 5 seconds in terms of stopping time, but it's about 5 seconds. In the future it will become a minute, ten minutes or even an hour. One day I will be able to stop time at will. It's really something to look forward to, the time I can stop is getting longer and longer."

Su Chen's tone became increasingly strange, even somewhat sinister.

The brother and sister exchanged a glance.

They both saw a flame called "counterattack" in each other's eyes!

Su Chen looked at the two shut-ins in front of him, who seemed to have already declared "victory," and just smiled noncommittally.

"But so what? Even if I understand you, what can I do? What can the two of you do to me!"

His nonchalant attitude was as casual as if he were saying, "The weather is nice today."

Sora, who had finally rekindled his fighting spirit, felt as if he had punched cotton.

"You guy!"

"Alright, enough nonsense." Su Chen interrupted him directly. "If you lose, you have to admit it."

"Let's start the second game!"

"Really? Mr. Cheater, will you still be so calm later?"

He pointed at Su Chen and announced.

"The warm-up for the first set is now over."
