My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

Xia Qing said in a low voice with a somewhat complicated expression, "Bucciarati, why are your lines so strange?"

Feeling as if she had accidentally wandered into Bucciarati's tragic world, Xia Qing mobilized the power of her own body and poured it into Bucciarati's body.

Bucciarati's synergy power can be represented by a drop of water, while Xia Qing's synergy power in the Lillid state would probably be measured in oceans.

"Now, let's begin the second round."

With Xia Qing's help, Bucciarati took a deep breath to calm the surging power within him and spoke to Fred opposite him.

After a moment of silence in response to Bucciarati's words, Fred burst out with a passionate curse: "Why the hell haven't those two idiots arrived yet? The other side has been charging up for ages!"

Fred suspected that he wouldn't have to wait for them to arrive soon, and that if all three of them attacked, they would die anyway.

The girl with the steel-haired body opposite me has surpassed me in terms of willpower and can break free from the constraints of my Stand at any time.

Fred gritted his teeth and prepared to fight hand-to-hand with his Stand. No matter what, his Stand was a Power B-rank Stand, which was stronger than most Stands in hand-to-hand combat.

Fred was unaware that the group in front of him consisted of two individuals with both Strength and Speed ​​A-ranks.

Excluding special cases like ∞ and ?, the strongest Stand stat is A, but even among A-rank Stands, there are differences.

Diablo, as the final boss of Golden Wind, naturally has a powerful card, and his Ace is among the top-tier ones.

Bucciarati's power and speed are relatively average, but with the addition of the power of combination, they have reached the top level.

At this moment, two top-tier Stand users with both A-rank power and speed were eyeing Fred intently, ready to give him a good beating at any moment.

"Steel chain fingers!"

With the power of the combination, Bucciarati felt a continuous surge of power.

With the appearance of his Stand, Fred also summoned his own Stand, but unfortunately it was of no use.

There's still a significant difference in speed between a top-tier Speed ​​B and a top-tier Speed ​​A. Bucciarati's Stand, Steel Chain Finger Punch, struck Fred like a phantom.

"Ali Ali Ali Ali Ali Ali Ali!"

The satisfying impact of the attacks made Xia Qing want to give it a try, but the thought of the Crimson King's lack of endurance made her feel helpless.

Combo attacks are one of the souls of Stand battles, so I need to find a way to improve my Stand's durability in a while.

After a moment of contemplation, Xia Qing realized that Bucciarati had already severely injured Fred. To prevent Fred from retaliating and trying to extract information, Bucciarati decided to use his chain fingers to separate Fred's body.

Fred's body was now divided into several parts, including his head, upper and lower body, hands and feet, making him completely unable to fight.

This is one of the applications of Chain Fingers' ability; Bucciarati's Stand ability is to create zippers on things.

Wherever his fist strikes, a zipper will be created. Once this zipper is unzipped, a special zipper space for storing items will be opened.

At this moment, Fred was truly torn to pieces. His body was divided into many pieces by the zippers created by the steel chain fingers, and each piece was still connected, preventing Fred from completely disintegrating.

Fred stared in horror at his current physique. In his understanding, a normal person couldn't possibly survive with such a bizarre appearance, but the Stand's power had twisted into doing so.

Unbeknownst to Fred, Xia Qing's power of combination had already invaded his body, ready to give him a surprise at any moment.

"I feel it, is this the feeling...?"

Just then, Giorno's voice rang out from beside him. Bucciarati, who had just dealt with Fred, looked at Giorno, who was engrossed in dancing.

"What a terrifying talent."

After making a comment, Xia Qing stopped talking. In his eyes, Giorno was now like someone who had cheated.

My initial efficiency in using the power of combination is 1%, but Giorno's has reached an astonishing 100%. What an enviable talent!

Xia Qing didn't say much. The JOJO world is so big, if you look carefully you should be able to find some people with similar talents to Giorno.

Giorno's talent is rare, but not unique.

Giorno quickly realized what was happening and stopped dancing. Looking at the others staring at him, Giorno explained somewhat awkwardly, "Sorry, I seemed to get lost in the dance."

This kid might be suited to be an idol.

As Xia Qing thought to himself, Fred beside him was already devastated. It was useless, all of it was useless. His two mentally challenged teammates should have already been dealt with.

Even if they're incredibly stupid, they shouldn't need this long to find their way. Besides, what good is it now that they're here? The guys on the other side are too strong; they'd just be easy prey if they came.

Just as Fred was feeling depressed and desperate, a creaking sound suddenly came from outside the arena.

Fred looked up and saw his teammate, whom he had been thinking about, approaching on a bicycle at a pace slower than walking.

"Where's my car? My car is so big!"

Fred, who loved his car dearly, turned pale. He couldn't understand what would make those two idiots give up driving and stupidly choose to ride bicycles instead.

Fred really wanted to say, "What the hell are you guys riding bicycles for? You're riding slower than walking! Are you some kind of sabotage sent by the other side to mess with me?"

Fred guessed the truth by chance, and at that moment his teammate on the bicycle shouted sincerely, "Brother, we're here to save you!"

Chapter Twenty-Three: Emperor Kono Diavolo, my position remains unshaken!

"Save my ass! Please, stop sabotaging me and go find backup."

Fred said listlessly, his eyes now lifeless. "What's the point of these two bastards coming here now?"

Before those guys started dancing, I could use my abilities in conjunction with Donham's heatwave execution to take care of them.

But that's clearly impossible now. The opponent's main attacker's strength has increased dramatically after he had his subordinates dance. Now, he could crush him in less than a second.

Most importantly, it wasn't just strength that increased; Bucciarati's willpower, amplified by the dance, had even surpassed the limits of what he could control.

Are these two guys just here to be delivered to our deaths? There's no chance of winning against Bucciarati's team in this situation.

"Don't worry, the Bucciarati squad is nothing but a match for us."

"This is what Xia Qing's spy, Matt, said confidently," Donam said, nodding in agreement. In his view, the unassembled Bucciarati squad posed no threat to them at all.

“We know about their Stand abilities, there’s no need to be so cowardly… Leave the rest to us, I’ll use my Heatwave Execution to send them to hell.”

Matt and Donham's confident words almost made Fred gasp for breath, while Xia Qing was somewhat at a loss.

Bucciarati, why are you just watching? Are you planning to betray us?

Xia Qing really couldn't understand what his nominal subordinates were thinking. Why did they listen to the other party finish speaking before making a move? Wouldn't it have been better to just launch a sneak attack?

Xia Qing vaguely sensed that something seemed a little off. Why would a gang do something so incomprehensible? Shouldn't they be pressing their advantage now?

"Don't worry."

Just then, the system's voice sounded in Xia Qing's mind. Upon hearing this, Xia Qing silently asked, "What does it mean?"

"These are just the rules unique to this world. Once you enter this world, your thinking will be assimilated."

This world has some special rules that are different from the real world. For example, during time-stop explanations, the good guys don't attack, there's the once-in-a-lifetime teleportation, and the villains take the lead and start acting recklessly.

There are quite a few worlds with such special rules. For example, many magical girl worlds have the rule of being invincible when transforming. By the way, Lillid's origin combination power also has the effect of being invincible for a moment when it is used.

However, such rules are generally limited to specific worlds. The reason you can still use the power of combination in this world is because I modified the strength and settings of the Li Erlid character card for you.

The system quickly explained that Xia Qing felt a surge of killing intent and was about to make a move, but found that he was not stopped.

Well, it seems that I am the villain in the eyes of this world.

"Don't underestimate them. They possess an ability called the Power of Combination, a supernatural power different from a Stand. Quickly, go to Venice and ask the captain for help!"

Fred stated decisively that he had been prepared from the day he joined the gang to do whatever it took to achieve his captain's goals.

"It seems you've misplaced your loyalty."

Xia Qing noticed the subtle expression on Fred's face when he talked about the captain. It seemed that the captain was more important to him than himself.

However, considering Diablo's actions, Xia Qing felt that this outcome was not surprising. Apart from the deliberately cultivated loyal members, the other members of the organization were actually more afraid of Diablo.

"No, no, no, don't worry, leave this to me."

Matt wiggled his finger confidently and said, "You?" Fred asked, puzzled.

"That's right, no one understands the power of matching better than me."

Matt struck a pose that Xia Qing found strangely familiar. Fred was surprised by his teammate's words but did not question them.

The drug squad is like an unbreakable steel bar; the trust between them is no less than that between an assassination squad.

"Are you sure no one understands the power of styling better than you?"

Abbacchio twitched his lips and said speechlessly, while Bucciarati and Giorno turned their gazes toward Xia Qing.

"Who are you?"

Looking at Diablo, Matt asked with some confusion.

"If that person is the strongest stylist who has surpassed everything and reached a whole new level, then I am the styling emperor who reigns supreme over all other styling."

Xia Qing said some lines that would normally be awkward, but since she had already influenced the tone of everyone around her, she wasn't embarrassed to say them since everyone else was saying them.

"Wow, paired with an emperor, what an imposing title."

Donam gasped, but Matt next to him felt that while the title "Emperor" was indeed quite imposing, the addition of the word "match" felt a bit odd.

"The King of Styling? What a boastful tone. But after defeating you, I will become the new King of Styling."

As soon as Matt finished speaking, Xia Qing turned to Bucciarati and said, "You guys take care of the remaining two. I'll go and have a go at this arrogant stylist."

After speaking, Xia Qing walked towards Matt, and Matt followed suit.

Be careful.

After listening, Bucciarati pointed out that from his perspective, Matt did not exhibit any fluctuations of power.

Those who can do this are either ordinary people who have never practiced anything like combining techniques, or their opponent's level of cultivation is far beyond their own.

"Heh, don't worry, I don't think I'll lose to anyone except that lord."

Xia Qing said confidently, and with repeated mentions, Bucciarati basically believed that there really was a leader among them whose power of combination surpassed that of Xia Qing.

A dazzling blue light began to shine from Xia Qing's center, and with the flash of the blue light, Xia Qing and Matt, who had separated the two battlefields, disappeared together.

With the disappearance of the two, the members of Bucciarati's team turned their dangerous gazes to Fred and Donam.

The crushing battle ended quickly, with Bucciarati and the others following Xia Qing's orders to eliminate Fred and Donam, who had just arrived.

With Bucciarati and Giorno working together, the outcome against an enemy whose Stand ability was ineffective when used alone was clearly predetermined.

The battle can be fought directly in reality or in a dimensional rift on a special stage.

When Xia Qing returned to the real world from the dimensional rift's stage, Fred and Donam were already dead.
