I, the little cat, am a substitute for others who are starving and thin

Kakyoin, who had not yet recovered from what had just happened, half-knelt down and covered his head.

Not only him, but also the nocturnal birds suddenly fell to the ground, the invisible reptiles retreated into their nests, and even the residents living in this block who were awakened by his roar just now also lay down again.

In the darkness, the arrows carved in the shape of insects seemed to have their own consciousness and merged into the silver chariot's staff, while his appearance changed to a person dressed in black and wearing a Robin Hood hat.

Chapter 20 The Lord will bless you.

Pucci, separated from Dio, wandered the streets. Having just awakened his Stand, he did not yet have the ability to share Dio's worries, but watching Dio fight alone was definitely not his purpose in coming to Egypt.

"Zi-buzz!"

"This is?"

It was a layer of light that Pucci had only imagined in his mind when he was learning Mass. It seemed to be a sacred light from heaven without any impurities or discomfort.

It was as if a hand with a hole in it grabbed Yimi's collar and threw her out from the light, causing her with her small arms and legs to stagger, and then a scarlet spear was thrown at her feet.

Yimi stepped on the Spear of Longinus and put it back into the storage space to seal it.

This state of neither sadness nor joy, which was catalyzed by the divine power, was still beyond her control. If this situation continued for more than 20 seconds, her rationality would probably override her emotions to the point that she would think that the strongest state was better as the norm, and thus she would directly abandon the Spear of Longinus.

But the only way for her to escape from that space was the complete Love Train that could shrink space.

"Could this be possible?"

Having witnessed everything, Pucci clutched the cross around his neck, swallowed his saliva, made the sign of the cross on his forehead, and tried hard to recall the knowledge he had been taught in the seminary.

There doesn't seem to be any passage telling him how to deal with the situation when an 'angel' comes.

"who are you?"

Yimi turned to look at the man and sniffed the air.

The human form's physical sense of smell wasn't as sharp as the cat form's, but at such a close distance she could still tell that this man was one of the guys with the one named Dio.

"Are you Dio's first target for reaching heaven?"

Pucci lowered his head stiffly and looked at the girl in front of him. The teachings in his heart told him how disrespectful this kind of looking down was.

He remained in a half-kneeling position, looking into Duju's eyes from a slightly lower perspective.

"Go to heaven, you know how, go to heaven?"

Yimi looked up at him.

"I'm sorry, I don't know anything about this."

Dio wrote all this down in his notes and said he would show it to him later.

Pucci looked at her in confusion and made the sign of the cross again: "Excuse me, but may I take my leave for now? I won't make this matter... No, I will persuade Dio."

Yimi put her hands on her hips, narrowed her eyes, and pondered the relationship between them.

Misinterpreting her gesture as scrutiny, Pucci bowed his head devoutly. "Lord, please believe that this isn't just kneeling before an 'angel.' If this were just an ordinary little girl targeted by Dio, I would still follow the teachings and pretend I saw nothing."

Yimi didn't quite understand what was being said, but she caught the word "master". Although she didn't have a deep understanding of what "master" meant, she patted Pucci's shoulder just like she had done to Fran in the previous world.

"The Lord will bless you."

She turned back into a cat and continued to look for Dio, Jotaro and the others.

"..."

Does this mean that the Lord is willing to forgive him his sins?

After she left, Pucci stood back up and sighed.

I am a little torn between "friendship" and "faith", and I cannot judge which is more important based on my limited life experience.

Convincing Dio that the key to heaven lies in angels is like saying you need a knife and fork to eat steak.

Helping a friend back from the wrong path can also be considered his duty of "saving", no matter in which capacity.

But even Pucci didn't notice that Dio himself was standing on the tallest clock tower in Cairo, with his arms folded, looking in that direction.

Although Dio was surprised by Pucci's humility towards Imi, he was not angry. Although he could not see the hand that threw Imi out from such a distance, he could still feel the sacred light curtain.

The vampire felt instinctively uncomfortable, but he did not feel psychologically uncomfortable, which just proved that the little devil's ability to help him ascend to heaven was a true reflection.

"Lord Dio."

Beside him was a thin man kneeling on one knee respectfully. His features were quite similar to those of the butler in Dior's mansion.

He presented a stack of chips with both hands. This was the ability of his substitute, the God Osiris. Anyone who lost to him in gambling would have his soul pocketed in the form of chips.

Incidentally, his younger brother also possesses a similar, but more powerful, ability to steal souls. These two are the key to Dio's collection of the souls of 36 heinous criminals.

At first, he thought that the more capable little Darby was capable of taking on this task, so he kept him by his side as a butler. However, after witnessing Pucci's abilities, he suddenly realized that this condition seemed to be closely related to a "trustworthy friend". However, the current situation was obviously too late to prepare for Pucci.

Dio squeezed the chips into his palm: "Dabby, what kind of existence do you think of as a 'bad person'?"

"Lord Dio, I..."

Before he could even say anything, Dio frowned and covered the star-shaped birthmark on the back of his neck.

"Oh, sorry to bother you, but could you please ask for directions? It's almost four in the morning and it's hard to find someone to talk to."

Some unruly voices came from the clock tower, and it was from a man who looked very young.

"My name is Jotaro Kujo, and I'm looking for a pedophile named Dio. Have you seen him? It doesn't matter if you haven't—"

Suddenly, a light like electric current exploded from his hand, and then he swung out a rope-like object and threw it towards Dio.

"Hmm? A new face I don't recognize."

Dio's posture remained unchanged, and the world seemed to have stopped the gears of time, and all matter except him came to a standstill.

A golden stand stretched out in front of him, deflecting the ripple attack directed at him.

"Ripple, it's really a nostalgic power."

Dio turned his head and looked behind him: "But as a member of the Joestar family whose fate is linked to mine, it would be naive to try to sneak attack me, Dio. Such naivety will cost you your life."

Behind him, Jotaro had climbed to the edge of the clock tower, seemingly waiting for Dio to be attracted by the young Joseph so that he could launch a sneak attack.

"You, with the blood of the Joestar family flowing through your veins, should be aware that I can sense your arrival. Well, all schemes and tricks are futile in front of the World."

Dio walked over and put one foot on the back of Jotaro's hand, ready to give him a fatal blow.

But then, Jotaro's eyes suddenly turned to his face, which happened during his time stop.

"Nani?!"

"Eula!"

Star Platinum's fist shattered Dio's bones and sent him flying.

"impossible!"

Dio's time stop ends.

Jotaro climbed up and brushed the dust off his hands. "Ah, my! I thought your ability was time-jumping or something like that. Was I wrong?"

"Hehe, hehe, hehe!"

Dio covered his gradually recovering injuries and laughed out loud: "The same type of stand as in my [World]? But ah Jotaro, humans always have their limits. The reason you only threw one punch is because you can only move for one or two seconds!"

21

Chapter 21 Destiny.

When Jotaro climbed up, Dio took advantage of the opportunity to create some distance. Although that punch was enough to paralyze an ordinary person, as a vampire, he was still able to move a certain distance.

"Jotaro!"

Young Joseph picked up the rope that helped him climb the bell tower and wanted to support his grandson.

"Oh Do, ignoring others is not a good habit."

Dabi, who almost thought Dio was going to lose, breathed a sigh of relief, moved in front of Joseph, and took out a stack of chips.

"Although your situation is urgent, how about we make a bet? It might be good for you. After all, I have..."

As a gambler, he possesses a knack for cheating and is adept at manipulating others' minds. As the saying goes, a gambler never gambles without preparation, and he would even bribe everyone around him, from an 80-year-old man to a 3-year-old child, to gamble.

For example, he even spent a day making fake soul chips for each of them based on the portraits Dio had written. As long as they were separated, there would be no chance to verify whether what he said was false...

"Get lost! As soon as I heard the word 'gambling' I knew you were planning some scheme to lure me into it. I don't have time for you!"

Joseph punched Darby in the face with a ripple.

Darby couldn't get up again.

But it was at this moment that Dio finally recovered and was able to activate his stand ability.

"The World!"

Dio paused time, but due to the speed and power of Jotaro's punch just now, he didn't dare to attack rashly at close range. Instead, he took out a handful of throwing knives.

"I'm truly surprised, but that's all. All your schemes and tricks are in vain in the hands of my invincible 'world'. How many flying knives can you dodge in just one or two seconds? Mudamuda!"

Dio threw dozens of throwing knives, which he didn't know where to hide, at Jotaro. The throwing knives flew in the air for a while after leaving his hands and then stopped in front of Jotaro.

"Wood big wood big wood big, wood big!"

Just as he said, Jotaro could only use these two seconds to deflect a small number of the throwing knives.

"Uh!"

"Jotaro!"

Jotaro flew backwards, using his Stand's fists to dig into the wall to cushion his fall, and finally fell to the ground.

The flying knives didn't cause him any serious damage. Before leaving, he stuffed the Ocean Encyclopedia into his chest just in case. Also, whether intentionally or not, the belt in his pocket blocked a knife for him, seemingly without any damage.

Although the old man's ripples were strong when he was young, they were still not enough when facing the ability to stop time. Dio would deal with this threat as soon as possible.

He should have thrown all his throwing knives. Although it was a bad idea, the best option at this time was to crash into Dio and wait for him to show a flaw.

Jotaro's hand couldn't help but touch his pocket, because when he found that he could move from the time paused by Dio, he vaguely felt that this game console... or to be more precise, the game console's cartridge was resonating with him.

It was as if some magic was attracting him to use this thing.

Do you want to try using this thing of unknown origin?

Just as he thought, Dio flew down from the bell tower without paying any attention to Joseph, looking at him doubtfully.

"You didn't turn into a pulp after falling from such a height? Are all Joestars so strong, or are you up to some trick?"

"never mind."

He pulled down a nearby road sign and said, "Use this to chop off Jotaro's head!"

Jotaro: "?"

Familiar actions and words.

A slight emotional relaxation caused something unexpected to happen to him.

The reason he stayed in prison in the first place was not only because of rebellion, but also because he mistook his double for an evil spirit.

This is not groundless. When he awakened his Stand, he happened to be fighting with a group of bad guys. Perhaps because of his violent mood at that time, he awakened such a powerful Stand with pure panel. But during that period of time, he was not able to control Star Platinum very well. It was basically a situation where he had just come up with an idea and the other party had already started to do it.

Just like now.

"Is he really not dead?"

In Dio's eyes, Jotaro's Star Platinum suddenly appeared.

I grabbed the game console from his pocket and instinctively pressed it against his waist.

【GACCHAN】

"Boom-"

The sound came from the clock tower above. Perhaps one of Dio's flying knives had just struck the clock, and at four in the morning it was malfunctioning and making a sound that echoed throughout the entire block.

【KAMEN RIDER CHRONICLE】

"What the hell is this?"

Dio was wary and didn't dare to get close.
