"Otherwise, the only option is to get you closer to Giorno and form a team to rescue each other."
Feeling utterly helpless, Polunarev looked at the rising sun and stepped aside to stand guard.
……
"So that's it, it's this guy."
Having caught sight of the figure passing through a street, Diablo's eyes widened as he recalled past memories.
Polunarev...
This Stand user from another country wants to investigate me because of the [Insect Arrow] incident.
But he intercepted and killed him. He was chopped into a human stump and thrown into the sea. There was no way he could have survived such a serious injury.
But somehow, this person reappeared completely unharmed...
“Life knocks on the door of Jun”
"No...this is a reckoning for my immature past!"
"Traitor or old grudge..."
"This time, will it be possible to..."
"bury!"
Slowly walking towards the door, pushing it open and going down the stairs, Diablo said coldly.
(Leaving Bucciarati there was definitely the right thing to do...)
(This allows for the maximum possible division of their team composition.)
(Then, let's take care of them one by one!)
At the same time, his appearance changed to another state...
Toby!
My other identity!
A two-faced emperor!
This is his destiny...
22. Just like those trashy games where you encounter a plot hole at the end but are missing key items and can't finish the game!
"Jorno, have those guys gotten separated again?"
"At the eleven o'clock position, his body can split into very small pieces and then reassemble in other places."
While Narancia was chasing Buggy's legs, Giorno was using the bird-like creatures he had just created to observe Buggy's range of activity.
Han Ming once told him that the movement distance of the split body of Pakistan is limited, so as long as you can see the distribution of the different bodies, you can probably guess where the "two feet" at the center are.
All I can say is that Bucky's abilities are incredibly convenient.
If the feet are hidden, they can't even be observed very easily.
Once it hides inside a box or building, it's so small that you wouldn't notice it unless it suddenly appears right in front of you.
(It should be in this area...)
(His legs, which form the central axis, are definitely outside to support the movement of the rest of the body...)
Using information relayed by birds in the sky, Giorno summons a Stand. He touches a nearby stone, turning it into a snake. The numerous creatures, like loaches, slither along the roads and alleys.
As they continued their pursuit, a young man not far away was holding a cloth bag to his ear.
"Dudududu..."
It made a strange noise, which would have attracted attention if there hadn't been no one around.
Toby!
As Diablo's outward persona, he consistently carried out the boss's orders.
"Continue to approach? I understand."
Unusual snakes had already darted past beneath his feet, and Tobias calmly continued his conversation with Diapollo.
He was not frightened by the ruined street in front of him, but walked slowly forward.
(That's right... Tobio, Narancia has probably already found out, but it's okay, he doesn't know your identity.)
(And when I'm old enough to summon a Stand, I'll do it myself...)
Diapollo gave instructions in a cold voice, without any hurry.
Giorno is just a newcomer to the organization; he has some skills, but nothing special.
The priority now is to identify those with investigative abilities.
If Narancia, who can detect the enemy's location by their breathing, is not eliminated first, it will always hinder his movement.
Now that Narancia only has Giorno by his side, the possibility of him instantly killing the two of them and retreating calmly is extremely high.
Diablo was also pleased that he hadn't killed Bucciarati himself but had instead let him live.
That officer, who was practically dead, made good use of his remaining warmth to hold off the other team members.
Otherwise, if four or five people are together and wary of each other, even if he succeeds, he will inevitably suffer some losses.
"Hey!"
"If you come any closer, I'll beat you to death!"
Narancia had discovered Tobio's location long ago, but initially he didn't pay attention. However, Tobio's gradual approach alerted him.
Now is a critical moment to track down the enemy, and we must not let irrelevant people interfere.
"!"
Giorno frowned as he looked in the direction Narancia was roaring and saw Tobio's figure.
Judging from appearance alone, Tobyo does not pose any danger.
But for some reason, he had a bad feeling.
"Yellow……"
Just as I was about to unleash the golden experience, something strange happened in the world before I could even do it.
"It's too late..."
"King of Crimson!!"
The sudden change in body and posture, coupled with the ability to strike instantly, allowed Diablo to reach behind the two without any surprise.
“Gyrono Giovanna, you are very vigilant, but unfortunately... you are still too green in front of me.”
Lingering in this space where time has been erased, the surroundings have transformed into a completely different landscape.
Everyone and everything stopped moving.
Only Diablo moved freely...
He looked at Giorno, who had summoned his Stand to cover for Narancia, with a mocking expression, and then aimed a punching stance at the former.
"Just at that moment..."
Time! Cut it away!
In that instant, the world leaped.
"Pfft!"
"Ugh...cough cough?"
Nalanjia stared wide-eyed at the fist that had somehow emerged from his chest.
The pain spread from his chest with the splattering blood, but his consciousness gradually faded.
"Narancia!!"
Giorno noticed it immediately, but even so, he still witnessed the enraged scene.
(This guy... is the BOSS!)
He never expected to be confronted like this, and he realized that Diablo was far more dangerous than he had imagined.
"Wood, big, big, big, big, big!"
"Humph……"
Diablo remained unmoved by the sharp punch.
The reason he killed Narancia first was because he knew that Giorno posed no threat to him and could be dealt with later.
With his gaze fixed on the other person, Diablo shouted in a deep voice.
"Go to die too!"
…………
"Hey, where did Narancia's Aerosmith go?!"
"The timeline jumped noticeably just now... Does that mean the Boss has appeared?"
Mista and Trish's horrified conversation alerted Bucciarati to something amiss.
(Oh no... Is the boss deliberately not killing me to divide the battlefield?)
At first, she wondered why she hadn't been killed, but now it seems that Diablo had a plan.
"We can't dawdle any longer... Mista, Trish, we have to get there right now, Giorno is in danger!"
"But your body..."
Mista and Trish were naturally anxious, but Bucciarati had difficulty even moving around, so they couldn't move quickly at all.
"It's OK……"
"You just need to go over there, I'll follow."
As he spoke, Bucciarati roused himself and summoned his chain fingers.
He has already figured out how to act without holding others back.
Before we get the [Insect Arrow] back, we absolutely cannot let the boss run rampant.
.........
"This is Diablo's time deletion..."
"What happened? Did someone run into him?"
His face looked terrible, and beads of sweat appeared on Polunarev's forehead.
He understood his opponent's personality quite well; once he used this move, it meant it was time for a decisive blow.
It is almost impossible to avoid the sudden attack that comes after time has been deleted.
They haven't seen Diablo yet, but the Crimson King's power has still been activated, which means that others have encountered him.
"This is very bad..."
Han Ming didn't believe that Diablo would delete things randomly, so he must have seized an opportunity.
(Anyone will do, except for Giorno.)
This idea is somewhat extreme, but it is also his heartfelt thought.
Whether it's Narancia, Mista, Trish, or Bucciarati, they are all "pawns" that can be discarded.
It wasn't that Han Ming looked down on them, but in the upcoming battle with Diablo, everyone, including himself, was probably only fit to be a buffer...
Just how terrifying are the time-deletion and future-predicting abilities in Crimson King? You'll know once you experience it.
He wasn't arrogant enough to make an exaggerated claim like "I can delete in time."
Even if you are mentally prepared, it is difficult to adapt in a short period of time. Just like a student dozing off in class, you try to keep your eyes open, but there will always be times when your vision goes black and you lose consciousness.
It's no wonder that even Polnareff, a seasoned Stand user in the original work, would turn pale at the mention of this combination.
After all, as long as Diablo knew the future was still around, he was essentially invincible.
