I'm just an ordinary person passing by.

—Vanilla, you can't rise again!

Chapter Sixty-Five W... DNMD!

As time began to flow, Vanila was slammed into the wall by the white curtain and could not get up. When Avdol, Iggy, and Bobo came to their senses, they couldn't help but open their eyes wide, revealing expressions of panic and surprise.

"What happened?! Why did that bastard suddenly fly out?! What happened?! What on earth happened?!"

"Calm down! Polnareff! That must be DIO's ability! Although we don't know why DIO sent that man flying, there's no doubt that it was DIO's ability! Before we could even react, DIO used his ability!"

"Wang Wang!"

What exactly is that ability? I've been focusing my gaze on DIO without moving an inch, but why can't I see anything?

So what exactly is this ability?!

Nobody's surprised that DIO killed Vanilla? He was DIO's SVP, after all.

【DIO】My lord, have you betrayed me?

Unlike Avdol and his group, who were shocked and terrified, the White Curtain breathed a long sigh of relief after killing Vanila.

Alright, now that DIO's SVP has been defeated, Iggy and Avdol can survive. Next, it's time to defeat DIO.

He paused for a moment, letting go of the flamboyant... oops, the madness that belonged to DIO, and replacing it with the same smile as Da Qiao.

“Polnareff, Avdol, Iggy, although you should all know me, this should be the first time we meet.”

"My name is DIO, Dio Brando."

"Your partners."

"Partners? You actually call yourself our partner? Don't take this as a joke, DIO! Are you kidding us?! We came here to defeat you! [Silver Chariot]!!"

Bobo summoned his silver chariot and launched an attack on the white curtain without hesitation.

Although they don't know Zavarudo's true identity yet, no matter what his abilities are, as long as they keep attacking and forcing him to use his abilities, they will definitely be able to see through Zavarudo's true identity!

As the silver chariot hurtled towards them, Bai Mu's DNA began to stir again.

Damn it, I really want to stop time and move Bobo here...

What should I do? My DNA is about to burst forth!

Where's the stairs?! Stairs, come quick and save us!

The smile that was originally the same as Da Qiao's has gradually become somewhat awkward.

【DIO】The expression on his face began to become a little unrestrained. He was almost unable to resist moving Polnareff to the top of the stairs, and then standing on the stairs himself to play a classic replay with Polnareff.

"Hmph, hmph hmph hmph..."

"Yare yare... Polnareff, wait, that [DIO] isn't an enemy."

Fortunately, just as the white curtain was about to unleash its madness and cause a time-stopping event, Jotaro's voice rang out.

The invincible man emerged from the large hole created by DIO. He stood between the two sides, his back to DIO, facing Avdol and the other two, and said, "This guy is our partner, not our enemy, so there's nothing to worry about."

"JO, JO Taro?"

Upon seeing Jotaro appear, Avdol, his companion, and their dog were all somewhat surprised. But soon, Bobo asked with great delight, "Jotaro, are you alright? Where are Mr. Joestar and Kakyoin? Where are they?"

"The old man and Kakyoin are elsewhere, don't worry, they are safe. Little Darby has already been defeated by us."

"Great! All we have left to do is take down this guy!"

“Wait, Polnareff, I just said that this [DIO] is not our enemy.”

"I know this sounds unbelievable, but it's true..."

JO-Taro recounted his experience of going to another world and fighting with DIO.

In the 1980s and 90s, talking about time travel, while not as far-fetched as saying that an iron box could run away in ancient times, still made people immediately think it was fake.

Not only Bobo, but even Avdol thought Jotaro's words were unbelievable.

"JO-Taro, how could this be true? You've definitely been fooled by this guy! That's DIO! His cunning is beyond our imagination! Wake up, JO-Taro!"

JO Taro pulled his hat down low and muttered "Yare yare".

When JO Taro arrived here, he hadn't thought too much about it; he only wanted to save Avdol and Iggy. But after seeing Vanilla die, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.

However, he also realized the trouble the situation was going to cause. Putting aside his personal situation, it would be very difficult to convince Avdol and the others that this [DIO] was good.

He and the old man came here to save their mother (daughter), while Bobo came to avenge his sister, and Avdol came here to confront his own cowardice.

Both Polnareff and Avdol have reasons to confront and defeat DIO, and such explanations undoubtedly make it difficult for them to trust DIO.

They even wondered if they had been affected by DIO's Stand ability.

He glanced at the white curtain.

Noticing his gaze, the white curtain thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded. Fortunately, the feeling of the DNA activating was interrupted by JO Taro, otherwise he probably wouldn't have been able to gain the trust of Polnareff and Avdol.

He approached Jotaro and summoned his Stand.

"Polnareff, Avdol, I know that the 'me' in this world has done many evil things, but please believe me, I am different from the 'me' in this world! When Jotaro spoke just now, he did not tell you about my Stand ability."

“Actually, Jotaro already knows about my abilities.”

"Yes, my ability is to stop time."

"This is Zavarudo's true face!"

"—!!!?"

"Stop time?! How is that possible! How could anyone have such an absurd ability!"

As expected, the white curtain revealed Zavarudo's true abilities, which surprised Avdal, his companion, and their dog.

Stop time? What kind of monster ability is that?!

Zavardo's Speed ​​and Power stats were already at the top level, and apart from Star Platinum, no one could be considered a sure win. But then you say that besides such a high stat, Zavardo also has an ancestral ability?

W、、DNMD！

Order it, it's pointless, how the hell are you supposed to play this?!

Chapter 66 There really are two DIOs!

Upon learning of DIO's abilities, Polnareff couldn't help but feel a sense of despair. Apart from his attributes and swordsmanship, his Silver Chariot had no outstanding abilities. Even the acceleration after removing his armor was useless in DIO's eyes. Could he really defeat DIO like this?

Recalling the powerful figure I faced, the fear deep within me rose involuntarily once again.

I... am about to surrender again...

--Do not!

Absolutely not!

This isn't a question of whether we can win or not; it's a question of whether we absolutely have to fight!

He overcame so many difficulties to get here, wasn't it all for this one step? If he backs down here, wouldn't everything he has been given be negated?

We must fight, even if it means stopping time!

"【Silver Chariot】......"

"Polnareff! Wait a moment!"

However, just as Popo was about to steel his resolve and fight DIO to the death, he was stopped again.

This time, however, it wasn't Jotaro who stopped him, but Avdol.

"Abudel?"

"...JO Taro, I can trust you, right!"

"Ah, sure. Whenever."

JO Taro spoke in a low voice, his tone calm but very serious.

Avdol stared at Jotaro for a while before finally nodding.

"In that case, I'll trust you! I'm entrusting my life to you!"

"Hey, Avdol!?"

Polnareff and Iggy were stunned upon hearing this; it was DIO before them! Jotaro had been bewitched by DIO using some unknown power, and now only they could save him. But Avdol, you...

Have you been bewitched too?

“Polnareff, Jotaro isn’t the kind of person who’s easily swayed. Besides, if [DIO] really wanted to kill us, we would have been dead long ago if we were within his attack range.”

"He saved us and killed that man!"

"Regardless, this is the truth!"

"Therefore, I'm willing to trust this once, to trust Jotaro's judgment!"

Avdol is considered one of the strategists in the Star Crusade. Although he has never shown any outstanding strategic prowess, Avdol is indeed a thoughtful person who knows when to make certain judgments.

Based on his trust in Jotaro and DIO's recent performance, Avdol decided to give it a try!

He entrusted his life to Jotaro!

"Oh......"

JO Taro lowered the brim of his hat, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing Avdol's serious expression, Popo wanted to say something, but the words wouldn't come out.

He opened his mouth several times, but in the end he couldn't help but clench his teeth.

"hateful!"

"Do as you please!"

And so, Polnareff, Avdol, and Iggy all temporarily regarded [DIO] as an ally and no longer saw him as an enemy.

"Alright, that's all. Let's go, everyone, let's defeat DIO!"

With a smile just like Da Qiao's, Bai Mu extended an invitation to the Star Crusaders. They exchanged glances, and although Bobo was still a little unhappy, he still followed them up the stairs.
