I'm just an ordinary person passing by.

"Time begins to flow!"

"Muda!"

As time began to flow, the white curtain launched its attack without hesitation. But this time, DIO did not attack at the same time. He first stood still, stretched out his finger and shook it, making a disdainful expression, and then laughed loudly.

"Boxer briefs, boxer briefs!"

"I have drunk your blood, and your power has merged with mine. Not only can I stop time, but my strength and speed have also surpassed yours!"

DIO's "The World" came from behind and gained the upper hand. Although it was controlled by the system, in the contest of power, the White Veil, which used a little bit of the power of the Demon King Shuten-dōji, was actually suppressed by DIO's "The World".

The sudden outburst from the two surprised countless people around them.

"W-What's going on? Why did the other [DIO] suddenly collapse?"

"It's Zavarudo! They all used Zavarudo together!"

"Did DIO protect that person? But why? Isn't DIO a bad guy?"

"Could it be a parallel universe? In that world, [DIO] became a good guy? He grew up alongside Jonathan Joestar!"

"But didn't the other one also grow up with Jonathan Joestar? DIO is rotten to the core, you know, the villainous savior?"

"Who cares about these things? Araki is just a manga artist, what does he know about JOJO?"

As the people discussed the matter, everyone had already retreated.

Although they were surprised by Bai Mu's actions, they still clearly saw how the woman was so frightened that she fell to the ground.

Those are vampires, they eat bread rolls, it'd be better to run far away...

The battle between DIO and the White Curtain was decided in just a few seconds.

Having absorbed Jonathan Joestar's blood, DIO is undoubtedly stronger, and even The World has become stronger. His speed and power are probably almost as monstrous as Star Platinum's.

Even so, it won't be that easy for DIO to defeat the White Curtain.

"【DIO】, to defeat you, I'll have to rely on Zavaru's true power after all!"

"Zawarudotochiyotomare!"

For some reason, he disappeared after DIO stopped time, leaving only Hakumoku waiting in the same spot.

One second passed.

Two seconds passed.

Three seconds passed.

DIO remained motionless for seven seconds without appearing. Only then did the white curtain seem to realize something and suddenly look up at the sky.

"Takizawa Laura!!!"

Chapter Twelve: There's Only One Reason You Failed

With a loud bang, White Curtain instinctively looked up and saw DIO conjure up a huge road roller from somewhere, which then descended from the sky.

They tried to crush him under the road roller.

His eyes widened involuntarily, and the white curtain suddenly summoned the [World], intending to escape from there.

"Hahaha, too late! You can't escape now!!!"

DIO's world begins to unleash a powerful punch.

Two worlds, sandwiching a road roller, began a frantic fistfight.

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

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

Although White Curtain had tried its best to resist, DIO was still superior to White Curtain after absorbing blood. The steamroller got closer and closer until finally, the entire steamroller crushed White Curtain.

"DIO!!!"

"Hahahaha! I, Dio Brando, am the Emperor!!!"

Amidst the white curtain's unwilling roar, the world threw its final punch, and then, a pool of blood splattered on the ground.

Watching this scene, DIO was filled with mixed emotions.

In the end, he still won against his other self in another world.

"Hmph... Finally, DIO's world has been completely defeated by my world... Zavaro is indeed the strongest shit-eating dog!"

"Abdominal muscles, old age review, shit balls are all amazing!"

"I'm so incredibly excited! Hahahaha!!!"

Eleven seconds passed...

"Hmph, hmph hmph hmph, I can still stop time!"

Twelve seconds passed.

Thirteen seconds passed.

"I can continue! The power is still flowing out... It seems that thirteen seconds is the limit."

"Forget it, let's go check on how 'me' in the other world is doing, and drain all his blood, if he still has any!"

Time begins to flow.

"Wait, why is there a road roller here?"

"Are you stupid? This is a steamroller that DIO brought over to defeat Jotaro!"

"But only the factory has road rollers. This is the center of Chiba City, and the factory is at least dozens of miles away. Is the time it takes for DIO to bring the road roller over?"

"As expected of DIO, he easily accomplished what we couldn't!"

"Wait a minute, isn't this a bit off? Didn't DIO lose with the road roller? Why is he still standing there?"

"Damn it, DIO didn't suck the old man's blood, and the vehicle killer function wasn't triggered! It's over! [DIO] is going to lose!"

The crowd was abuzz with discussion. While they were amazed that things had turned out this way in the blink of an eye, they were mostly filled with fear at DIO's victory.

The other one is also a [DIO], but at least he is a [DIO] who protects people. However, this DIO needs to eat small bread rolls.

If even DIO can't stop DIO, then is the world doomed?

Ignoring the whispers and panic of the surrounding bunkers, DIO simply jumped off the road roller and raised his hand to lift it up, to see if his other self underneath was even bloodless. But, the moment he lifted the roller...

"Muda!"

A fist suddenly came flying toward DIO's face. DIO was taken aback, but he quickly summoned The World to block the attack.

Then, he saw the situation below.

It turns out that, due to the vampire's powerful vitality, Whitebeard did not die directly under DIO's steamroller. Instead, he survived while still severely injured. He was just waiting for DIO to come down and push the steamroller away so that he could launch his attack at that moment.

I didn't expect DIO to react so quickly and block the punch.

"Haha, this is really unexpected. No, perhaps it should be said that this is the real DIO, able to survive under such circumstances!"

"But I think it would be better for you to just lie down like this."

"Your body is already exhausted, there's no point in continuing to fight, the outcome is already decided!"

DIO didn't rush to kill the White Curtain. Instead, he watched as the White Curtain stood up using the pineapple-shaped body, and then circled around behind it.

Bai Mu didn't speak, but the moment he stood up, his body miraculously bled profusely again, and then he couldn't help but fall down again, barely able to support himself with his hands.

"Hehehe, look at you, do you still resemble me, DIO? You could have become an emperor and ruled the world, but you insist on being a foolish gentleman like Jojo. How ridiculous."

"If you hadn't been a gentleman, JoJo wouldn't have died, and if you hadn't been a gentleman, you wouldn't have died either."

"How foolish!"

"However, let me understand your pain!"

"To deal with you in your current state, I don't even need to stop time!"

"Zawarudo!"

[World] Swings his fist at Bai Mu's head. If this hits, Bai Mu will definitely die!

But just as [The World] was about to succeed, the white-veiled [The World] appeared and knocked down DIO's [The World] with a single punch at an even faster and stronger speed!

"W-what!?"

The force, faster and stronger than before, caused DIO to fall backward, but he was pulled back before he could fall.

Bai Mu stood up again at some point, then took his hand and said with a righteous expression, "DIO, becoming a gentleman is the most correct thing I've ever done in my life! My mother will be proud of me in heaven, and my best friend will always be with me! I will never allow anyone to insult my mother and my best friend!"

"Zawarudo!!"

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

The white curtain, shimmering with golden light, roared, carrying a golden will. [The World] unleashed a series of rapid attacks, the power enough to shatter bricks, bombarding DIO as if time had stopped.

Under the full force of the [World]'s attack, DIO's body cracked open.

At this point, even if DIO wanted to stop time, it was too late.

His eyes widened in horror, filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible! Kono DIO, Kono DIO!!!"

DIO cracked.

Looking at the cracked DIO, Hakumo stood there with difficulty, and said in the most righteous tone: "DIO, there is only one reason for your failure, and only one reason."

"That is, you insulted my dearest friend..."

Chapter Thirteen: System, transform!

"So handsome! How can this damn man be so charming!"

"Is this DIO after inheriting the golden spirit of Jonathan Joestar? If Jonathan Joestar knew, he would be very happy."

"'There's only one reason you were defeated, and that's because you insulted my best friend.' So, did DIO become best friends with Jonathan Joestar?"

"You're so kind of you, DIO, to be in such a desperate situation while trying to save someone."
