I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

"As expected... these guys have already arrived in Cairo."

As he spoke, he sat down on a chair nearby: "Grandma Enya, do you have any clues? What kind of special abilities do they have over there?"

"No... well, based on the current intelligence..."

“Well then, take a guess.” Dio said, beckoning to the side. A woman with a gentle smile slowly walked over. “Once might be a coincidence, but what about after that? The second, the third, the fourth… Was our plan leaked? No, that’s not right! Only they themselves know the plan. Even I, DIO, didn’t care how they planned to deal with Joestar and his group… So, are they all traitors?”

“No…it’s impossible! How could they dare to betray Lord Dio!” Granny Enya exclaimed.

"That's right, they really don't dare, and can't... So what is it? What's the reason? What's the logic... Could it be... could they see the future? Heh heh... Could it be that they actually already know about my abilities, DIO..."

*Pfft*

As he spoke, he plunged his hand into the neck of a woman who walked over, sucking her blood. Every now and then, he would pull his hand out, leaving the woman to fall to the ground.

"I'm still far from recovered... My injuries will require the blood of dozens of people to heal. The blood of these women alone is far too ineffective! And now... Joestar and the others are coming! Honestly... the Joestar bloodline is like dog shit on my path of fate, and now, I feel a little uneasy."

"Master DIO..."

"It's too obvious... have they... have they seen the future? Do they already know my abilities, or even—have they found a way to defeat me... defeat me, DIO! I don't want to think this way, but that's exactly how things are unfolding..."

"Leave five Stand users in the room! I need powerful Stand users with strong frontal combat abilities so that when Joestar and the others arrive, we can attack them head-on! The main targets are Jotaro Kujo and Joseph Joestar! Once we successfully eliminate the bloodlines of these two Joestars, the rest will be no threat!"

“Yes, I understand, Lord Dior.” Granny Enya continued, “Then, what about the others?”

"Whatever, get out there and confront Joestar and his group. Take them down one by one."

"Yes, Lord Dior." With that, Granny Enya also withdrew.

“Jostas… Hmph.” Dio Brando touched the scar on his neck: “Muda muda! No matter how much you struggle, you can’t change your fate of being killed by me, DIO!”

......

"Found it—the mansion where Dior is!"

Joestar and his group, who had been helping to find Dior's mansion in the vicinity, looked at the mansion in front of them and exclaimed with delight.

"Hehehe, I told you, we'd find it within three hours. See? This time it only took less than two hours. You really should have just waited where you were. Why did you have to follow us? Avdol! What happened to the reward you promised?"

"Ah, don't worry." Avdol nodded: "You won't be shortchanged on your compensation."

“Hmm? Look! That’s—? What—” Polnareff said, pointing to the bird on the roof of the house outside the window.

That's a bird!

No, to be precise, it should be an eagle!

A large amount of ice appeared around it, and then huge ice spikes were launched at the vehicle!

"Jotaro!"

"Ah, I know!"

laugh--

The next moment, Star Platinum appeared behind him and punched the ice spike that was shooting towards him!

"Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora!!!"

Boom boom boom boom—

"Aaaaaah, what on earth is going on?" The beggar who had helped find Dior's mansion looked at the scene before him in bewilderment.

Chapter 178 The Final Battle

"We've finally arrived!" Kurokawa Kazuya looked at the mansion in front of him.

Twenty days have passed... I was planning to finish this quickly, but now twenty days have gone by without me even realizing it...

"Be careful, it's daytime now, it's our chance! Whether we're scouting Dio's situation or taking direct action, it's perfect. If it gets to night, it'll be terrible. That guy's most afraid of sunlight. And—here you go!"

"Huh? What's this, Mr. Joestar?" Polnareff asked, looking at the flashlight-like object in his hand.

"An ultraviolet irradiation device! After decades, it's now much smaller and more convenient than it was when we fought the Pillars! Don't forget that Dio is a vampire; this is his natural enemy!"

Kurokawa Kazuya said this, but he also knew very well that Dio was not on the same level as those cannon fodder vampires who appeared in the second movie.

People often compare Dio's strength to that of the Ultimate Life Forms and Pillars.

Who will win?

The answer to this is not necessarily!

In battles in this world, strength certainly plays a certain role, but it is not absolute. Unless you have overwhelming strength, even if you are twice or twice as strong as your opponent, there are countless possibilities to defeat them by using strategy!

Even so, no one still compares Dio to those vampires.

That's a world of difference.

Therefore—even having such an ultraviolet radiation device doesn't guarantee victory!

“How reliable, Mr. Joestar!” Avdol exclaimed in amazement. “When did you begin preparations?”

"Hmph, it's simple. Of course, it started from the very beginning. As soon as my daughter had her accident, I had the SPW Foundation start preparing, and thankfully, we made it in time." Kurokawa Kazuya continued, "Although it might not be effective against DIO, since he has a Stand and can stop time, it's incredibly useful against other vampires!"

"Let's go!" Jotaro Kujo said, and the group of five walked towards the room in front of them, which exuded a chilling aura.

Behind him.

It was a bird that had been burned unconscious and had all its feathers burned off.

......

"The Purple Hermit—"

"The Emperor's Green —"

chi chi-

The purple thorns completely enveloped Kurokawa and the others.

The outermost layer is the Dharma King's barrier, and the two combined cover a space of more than ten meters around!

"That's right, watch your step, don't get ambushed!" Kurokawa Kazuya said. They were doing this to explore the Stand user, the Void Miasma, who might attack at any time.

His Stand ability is very difficult to deal with, but it's not entirely impossible.

In Kurokawa Kazuya's view, Joseph's Purple Hermit and Kakyoin's Emperor Green are perfect counters to his Stand!

Subspace Miasma: This Stand can swallow itself and the Stand user into a dark space. Then it forms a sphere that is invisible to the naked eye, roughly the size of a normal person.

Then, everything the sphere moves through will be completely devoured. At this point, it cannot be attacked, and everything that attacks or touches it will be completely devoured.

However, there is a drawback: within that space, the Stand user cannot assess the situation outside.

I can only open the dark space and use my own eyes to see what's happening outside when I have free time.

At this point, you can attack him.

In...JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Polnareff judges Polnareff's location and timing by observing the sand he kicks up, thus enabling him to launch his attack.

But—we don't need to now!

The surroundings were covered with purple hermit and the green of the emperor.

Even if these tentacle-like things are swallowed, they will not harm the main body. Instead, they will directly determine the location of the host!

Furthermore, it can continuously follow their movements.

That's why it's said that the Purple Hermit and the Green Emperor counter his abilities. As long as you can identify his movement trajectory and launch an attack at the right time, then there's nothing to be afraid of with this Stand!

......

"That old bastard Joseph...does he really know something?"

ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ

On the roof—

Although the Emperor's barrier and the Purple Hermit had indeed spread all around, he hadn't touched them. If he were to enter, the tiny gap in the middle would be constantly shifting.

It's certain that he, Vanilla Ace's Stand, will be encountered and discovered, but as long as he isn't touched!

He can observe from the shadows like he does now!

“Darby—” Vanilla Ace grabbed Terence as soon as she returned upstairs. T. Darby: “Go and test them, see if they know about Lord Dio’s Stand ability, whether it allows him to see the future.”

"Huh? What the hell?" Terence T. Darby's expression was a little grim; his ability was to pull out the souls of those who lost to him in games!

Then he can put it into the dolls he made for himself to admire.

That's his ability, or rather, one of his abilities.

He has another ability—mind reading!

However, it is limited.

For example, right now—

"What if... what if I don't go?"

“What will happen if you don’t go? You’ll know for yourself. My heart…” Vanilla Ace looked at him with icy eyes.

"Is...is it going to swallow me into that dark space?" Terence T. Darby asked.

next moment--

He saw into the heart of the person in front of him: "YES, YES, YES, YES!!"

That's right! He can only see "YES and NO," that is, "yes or no," and makes a judgment by asking a question, but he can't do anything else.

"So... if I go, will you let me go?"

"YES, YES, YES, YES, YES!!" Terence T. Darby breathed a slight sigh of relief. That was good; now... the next steps could be decided: "Okay... I'll go, I'll go!"

If you go, you'll at most get a beating; if you don't go, you'll die.

He now knows very well whether he should go or not!
