Crossover Anime: The King of Time? Actually, He's a Slacker!

"We have been tracking Dior's movements recently."

The man's voice was low, his hands on the steering wheel were as steady as a rock, and his gaze swept through the rearview mirror toward Jotaro Kujo in the back seat.

"But his strength far exceeded our expectations. Originally, because we shared the same goal, we planned to gradually make contact with you, but we didn't expect Dio to launch a surprise attack first."

Jotaro didn't say anything, but simply adjusted his hat as usual.

The man paused, his tone becoming more serious:

"Mr. Jotaro, you possess the same type of power as Dio. Only you can defeat him."

"Even though you say that..." Jotaro began slowly.

"But in the battle of time, I lost to it."

Everyone naturally knew, after all, they had all witnessed the dangerous scene just now.

"Don't belittle yourself, Mr. Jotaro," the man comforted him.

"The reason you lost to Dio was not because you were weaker, but because he used restraints."

"Restraint?" Upon hearing the unfamiliar word, everyone looked puzzled.

"It's a different power system's rules. He gained absolute control over the domain in exchange for 'reducing the scope of time stop'," the man explained.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jotaro's pupils contracted slightly.

No wonder he couldn't even move his fingertips while in the time stop, yet Joseph and his team were able to pull him away from outside the area. It wasn't an absolute difference in strength, but a trick of the rules.

"You can do this kind of thing?" Polnareff blurted out, his face full of disbelief.

"Yes, Dio has great ambitions. It has made ample preparations to deal with you, and according to our investigation, it has also been in contact with 'Zu'," the man continued.

It was yet another unfamiliar term, which made Joseph seem thoughtful.

Before they could think any further, a deafening explosion suddenly came from the car!

Dior had caught up and punctured the tires.

The car suddenly veered off course and crashed violently into the roadside. The people inside reacted quickly, jumping out of the car and landing safely.

"Heh heh, even the church flies have come over." Dio chuckled, his contempt undisguised.

"But a fly is still a fly; no matter how many come, they're just going to their deaths."

It raised its chin and swept its gaze over the crowd, finally landing on Jotaro, its smile growing increasingly arrogant.

"The 'World' is the strongest Stand, and I, Dio—will ultimately become the sole king of this world!"

Before the words were even finished, it suddenly spread its arms wide, and its roar echoed throughout the entire street:

"Time, stop! Zawaludo!!"

"Make way!" the lead executioner shouted.

As Hua Hua and Abududu retreated, they summoned their Stands, and two ranged attacks hurtled straight at Dio's face.

But the emerald water droplets and flames were abruptly stopped in mid-air as soon as they stepped into that invisible realm.

"Useless, useless, useless!" Dio stood with his arms crossed in the center of the time stop, his expression as arrogant as a god looking down on ants.

"In this realm, I, Dior, am absolutely invincible!"

Kakyoin Noriaki gritted his teeth, pushing the power of his Stand to its limit, and the tentacles of "Green Emperor" rapidly spread around him.

"Take this, Dior! Emerald Water Splash with a radius of twenty meters!"

The eerie green barrage swept in from all directions, covering everything without leaving any blind spots. But the moment each attack touched the boundary of time stop, it froze completely, unable to even tremble.

Kakyoin's heart sank as he looked at the unmoving attack before him.

The next second, time began to flow again.

The hovering emerald-green water droplets crashed onto the open ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. Taking advantage of the brief moment, everyone quickly retreated, exchanging glances—

Dior's time stop can only last for seven seconds.

"Let's go! We're no match for it now!" Joseph shouted.

But Polnareff couldn't swallow this insult. As soon as he finished speaking, he drew his sword and charged forward.

The "Silver Chariot" instantly burst through its armor, and the sword light was so fast that it was reduced to a mere silver line, piercing straight through Dio's head!

"We succeeded!"

Seeing that the attack had hit, everyone's spirits lifted and they immediately followed up with their own attacks.

But in the next instant, the world fell into absolute stillness once again.

"You really think this little attack can hurt me? You really think my head is my weak point?"

Dio smiled, gently brushing aside the stray hairs on his forehead with his fingertips. Not a few drops of blood had seeped from the pierced wound. His eyes were completely calm, as if he were looking at a group of clowns who overestimated themselves.

"You're wrong, terribly wrong. Your so-called advantages are nothing but an illusion that I, Dior, want you to see, a death throes that I'm mercifully bestowing upon you."

It slowly raised its hand, its fingertips pointing at Polnareff in front of it.

"Then let's start dying with you, Polnareff."

The moment the fist, imbued with immense force, slammed down, a figure crashed into the time-stopping domain.

Jotaro's forehead veins bulged as he used all his strength to activate "Star Platinum" and stand in front of Polnareff.

The moment their fists collided, the shockwave sent debris flying from the surrounding walls. But Jotaro's movements quickly slowed down, and "The World" seized the opportunity, delivering a powerful punch to his chest.

"puff--"

Jotaro coughed up a mouthful of blood and flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a brick wall by the roadside, raising a cloud of gravel and dust.

"Jotaro!"

The moment time resumed its flow, everyone cried out in disbelief.

Dior brushed the dust off his shoulder, his expression nonchalant.

"He couldn't possibly have survived that punch." A satisfied smile curled at the corner of its mouth.

"Being able to take care of Jotaro Kujo first is a huge relief."

Polnareff clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, a wave of self-reproach washing over him. But there was no time on the battlefield; Dio's attack came again, and everyone could only grit their teeth and continue fighting.

Relying on the limitations imposed by the "binding", the group managed to maneuver by pulling and tugging.

Time ticked by, and one by one, his companions fell. Kakyoin collapsed amidst the shards of emerald water, Avdol's flames gradually died out, and Polnareff, clutching his broken sword, knelt on the ground, unable to rise again.

Just when Joseph was about to give up, the sky began to lighten.

The rising sun broke through the clouds, and its dazzling light instantly bathed the entire street.

"We won! Dio!" Joseph, covered in blood, leaned on his knees, his voice filled with the ecstatic joy of surviving a catastrophe.

But the executioner beside him suddenly changed his expression.

Dio, standing in the sunlight, did not scream, did not melt, and did not even try to hide.

An ominous premonition arose instantly.

The next second, Dio slowly turned around, standing in a thunderous stance with his back to the rising sun, his golden hair gleaming dazzlingly in the light. He spread his arms, tilted his head back, and let out a maniacal laugh.

"No...impossible!" Joseph's pupils dilated in shock.

"Dior, bathed in sunlight?!"

"Hmph... Hahahaha—!!!" The maniacal laughter shook the air. Dio looked at the last two people, his eyes filled with arrogance that looked down on all living beings.

"I, Dio, have become the most perfect being in this world. I am worthy to inherit the title of 'Ancestor'."

It raised its hand, letting the sunlight filter through its fingers, its tone filled with an almost intoxicated admiration:

"The sunshine...how wonderful the sunshine is."

"Joseph Joestar, and the ants of the Church. You can die without regrets, having witnessed my ascension."

Its gaze turned cold, and its killing intent poured out without any attempt to conceal it.

The expected fear did not appear on the faces of the two men opposite them. Joseph and the executioner stood frozen in place, their gazes passing over it and looking behind them, as if they had seen something unbelievable.

Dior frowned and turned around abruptly.

A young man in black wearing a hat was standing there.

"Jotaro..." Dio's pupils contracted slightly.

"You're not dead?!"

"Ah... I'm sorry to disappoint you." Jotaro looked up and stared at the other person.

"That was really hard. My body still hurts, but..."

His tone suddenly turned somber, and the air pressure around him instantly dropped to freezing point.

"You've really angered me."

After saying that, he took out his watch face and immediately dialed back.

Upon seeing that thing, Dio was startled. Had this guy actually picked up the thing he had discarded because he thought it was useless?!

"2016 Invincible Player"

"The Ultimate and Invincible Exyde"

"Ora!" Star Platinum roared, and a dazzling golden armor instantly appeared on his body. Fragments slowly fell from the sky, glittering in the sunlight.

"Platinum Star: Invincible Player"

"What...what kind of power is this?"

Dio involuntarily took a half step back, a genuine sense of panic welling up inside him for the first time.

Jotaro pointed at him, his tone calm, yet carrying an undeniable and absolute dominance.

"Next, I won't even need a second to deal with you, Dior!"
