I'm just an ordinary person passing by.

"JO Taro, I don't know how to tell you this, but please believe me, I am not your enemy."

As DIO, played by Shiro, approached Jotaro with a benevolent voice, hoping to prove that he was a good person, but Jotaro remained unchanged and did not believe his thoughts at all.

"The first one to come to me, it seems I've really been seen through... No, maybe it's better this way."

"That way you won't have another chance to go see the old man and the others."

"Since you're already getting this close to me, why don't you get even closer?"

With that, Jotaro also lifted his foot and walked towards [DIO].

When the two sides closed to only five meters, Star Platinum appeared first and then immediately used Euler. The World followed closely behind, blocking Star Platinum's Euler with a loud Muda.

“JO Taro, I am not your enemy. I will explain to you why you are here and my identity. I hope you can give me some time.”

"There's no need for that, [DIO]. On the way here, I've already heard a lot about you from the old man... planning to seize the Joestar family's assets, kill the ancestors, and control others... Although I smoke, drink, and fight, and am considered a bad student by my teachers, I also understand what is good and what is evil!"

"DIO, you're evil to the core!"

As JO Taro spoke, he controlled Star Platinum to use Euler on The World, while The World, under the control of the White Curtain, used Mudai.

"Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora!"

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

The two stunt doubles began exchanging punches fiercely...

------

Let's go back ten minutes.

Bai Mu, who was chatting idly at home with the system, preparing to make the system clearly understand who had led whom astray, was stunned when he heard the sudden notification sound.

What did he see?

[World Beyond Paradise]?

What's going on? The system brought out its strongest stand, so what kind of monster has run in?

【World Beyond Heaven】 is the Stand possessed by DIO who successfully reached Heaven in a certain parallel storyline. This Stand is the most invincible Stand in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure from Part 1 to Part 8, and it is very likely to be the most invincible Stand in Part 9 as well.

This Stand possesses two abilities: one is to stop time before arriving in Heaven, and the other is the ability to completely overwrite reality after arriving in Heaven.

The so-called "rewriting of reality" means that it can forcibly change the laws of nature, brainwash humans, and even bring the dead back to life. Although the prerequisite is that it has been "hit" with a fist, this ability is still the most powerful ability.

Even Act 4 and Gold Experience Requiem can be nullified.

Apart from the fishmonger Qiang and the remains of the saint who also arrived in heaven, no one could resist such power.

The system gave him this template, so he'll definitely be facing enemies that only those with this template can defeat. And if we're talking about who the nemesis of [World Beyond Heaven] is...

"JO Taro!?"

Whether it reaches heaven or not, the world has only one nemesis: its Stand of the same type, Star Platinum.

But Jotaro is a good person, so why does the leader say that Jotaro is extremely dangerous?

Or is it that Jotaro wasn't the only one who came?

With these questions in mind, Bai Mu teleported to the place where Jotaro appeared. As soon as he arrived, he saw Jotaro preparing to unleash his invincible Star Platinum.

Good heavens, if Euler goes down there, won't this street be ruined?

Danger! Too dangerous! You're in too much danger, Jotaro!

Chapter Fifty-Six: This is a Trial

In Araki's character design, Jotaro is someone who is not good at expressing his emotions because he believes that everyone should be able to see them and there is no need to deliberately show his emotions. Even when he saw the old man being drained of his blood by DIO, and when he was furious during the final battle with DIO, he did not show it.

This is precisely why Jotaro is easily misunderstood. People around him think he is cold, rebellious, uninterested in anything, and often gets into trouble.

Although in the end, the one who suffers the most trouble is always the victim.

Besides his personality and emotions, Jotaro also has a very strong will. He is thoughtful and calm. Except when he was blinded by anger during his battle with DIO, which led to a misjudgment, he is extremely calm at other times and is often able to seize the enemy's weakness and kill him with one blow.

In Parts 4 and 6, if Jotaro hadn't been weakened, he could have single-handedly conquered both parts.

Especially in the sixth part, Jotaro's growth was complete, and his 5A panel completely broke through the limits.

However, sometimes strong willpower can make things a little worse.

For example, right now...

Hakumo called out to Jotaro, intending to explain what had happened, but Jotaro wouldn't listen, convinced that Hakumo was the bad guy, and directly brought over with Star Platinum Ora, forcing him to use the World to fight back.

He really wanted to scratch his head and use time stop to tell Jotaro that he wasn't actually the enemy. However, after seeing Jotaro and Star Platinum and thinking about the role he was playing, the DNA in his body started moving uncontrollably.

JO-Taro and DIO, Star Platinum and Zavaru... This, this... this wave, this wave could be a classic remake!

With her heart pounding wildly, Bai Mu had a bold idea pop into her mind...

The idea quickly took root and grew in his mind, and then spread wildly throughout his entire body!

No, I can't resist, I can't resist! This is a restlessness originating from the DNA within my body!

"Heh, heh ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

DIO burst into laughter.

Shedding that gentlemanly mask, he revealed his true self.

The vampire's arrogant and haughty aura spread out instantly.

"As expected of a descendant of Joestar, you are indeed cautious. Originally, I intended to break down your defenses like this and then launch a sneak attack, like a butcher extending his knife into a sleeping pig—quiet, cruel, yet full of love, taking your life like the Grim Reaper."

"This is one of the rare acts of kindness I, [DIO], show! You could have died without any pain, Jotaro!"

"Is this what you mean by collapse—walking out without any pretense? I think even the worst actors I hate can act better than you."

"Is that so? Since you're not satisfied, then I'll have no choice but to let you die in agony!"

"Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora!"

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

【DIO】 and JOtaro began exchanging fierce punches, their rapid exchanges shattering the surrounding ground. Then, relying on his rich 'experience', 【DIO】 seized upon a mistake by JOtaro and punched Star Platinum directly in the face. The immense force sent JOtaro flying, his body crashing into a building next to the street, burying him in the rubble.

Fortunately, the people around were smart enough to run away after seeing DIO and Jotaro. The appearance of the Digimon had confirmed the existence of JoJo, and now that DIO and Jotaro were fighting, they would definitely be able to get to a safe place as soon as possible.

Some of the bolder ones have even started recording videos with their phones.

"What's going on? Why is DIO fighting with Jotaro?"

"Yeah, wasn't the bad DIO already defeated by this [DIO]? Why is this [DIO] still fighting Jotaro?"

"Are you guys stupid? How could there be a good DIO? It must be that two bad DIOs killed each other, leaving only this one!"

"Huh? If Jotaro loses, wouldn't we be in great danger?"

"How could Jotaro possibly lose? He's a man who's practically invincible, he's bound to win!"

"But now Jotaro has been sent flying..."

"Huh? Are you questioning Jotaro's invincibility? He's the invincible Stand user personally appointed by the old demon. Do you even know the weight of the word 'invincible'?"

"Damn it! So that's why Fishmonger Joe, who's an A-level precision fighter, lost to someone with a B-level precision fighter. Turns out you guys were the ones who were jinxing him! Don't you know about the invincible death buff in the JOJO world? Even Fishmonger Joe died after being given that invincible buff!"

------

On the first floor of the building, JO Taro lay on the ruins of the stairs. Although the punch he had just received was indeed heavy, it was not a serious matter for JO Taro, who could perform Ora at the age of seven. The only thing that happened was that his 20,000 yen pants were torn.

"Ugh, ugh... that's enough."

JO Taro muttered his catchphrase as he pushed away the pebbles on his body, then dusted himself off and stood up.

He was about to go out and continue his duel with [DIO], but as soon as he stood up, as if he had sensed something, he suddenly looked up at the top of the stairs!

At the top of the stairs he was now ascending, a man appeared there, hands on his hips, back to the light, his face hidden in shadow, with mist rising around his feet!

"【DIO】!"

"Hmph...JO Taro, it seems my shit-egg-du-pava is superior to your shit-egg-du-pava. Whether it's precision or strength, my Zavarudo is a cut above!"

"It seems to be a Stand of the same type as my Star Platinum. Although its range is not far, its movements are powerful and precise."

"I'd love to test just how much stronger my Zavaro is than your Star Platinum, but that's something I already know without even trying. Zavaro is the strongest Stand!"

"You mean by 'testing' that you just gently stroke your opponent without leaving a wound? What a waste of my 20,000 yen pants."

Why are the Joestars so unwilling to admit defeat?

DIO's expression became more serious, but he quickly spread his hands and shrugged.

"Hmph, fine, I'll accept your ridiculous provocation and play with you a little longer... If you want to fight me, then step up here, JO Taro! Climb this ladder and come before me!"

"This is a trial!"

Chapter 57 Mr. DIO, what are you doing, Mr. DIO!

"[DIO]......"

Looking at [DIO], who was facing away from the spotlight and seemed to have somehow acquired a bunch of dry ice to boost his imposing presence, Jotaro was still unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

He lifted his foot and stepped onto the stairs.

"Acting this way is really tasteless, [DIO]. But I'll make you even more tasteless."

"—I meant your face!"

JO Taro took a firm step forward!

but!

"!?"

But he found himself even further away from DIO!

The feeling of his foot slipping caused Jotaro to lose his balance slightly, but he quickly regained it. However, he realized that... for some reason, the step he was supposed to take on the stairs had slipped and he had missed!

What exactly is going on?

At that moment, DIO on the stairs laughed.

"Hmph, hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph..."
