I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

Not only the Purple Hermit, but also the Green of the Emperor.

In front, there is a frame formed by flames, with six sides pointing to the front, back, left, right, up, and down.

Anyone or any Stand energy that enters within a 15-meter radius of this flame will be detected!

However, they couldn't find Vanilla Ace's Stand.

"Found it—over there!" Looking at the part where the flames were glowing, Kurokawa Kazuya immediately pointed: "It's one of those pillars over there!"

"Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora ——————"

Boom boom boom boom—

One by one, the pillars were shattered by Jotaro Kujo's Stand!

Then—one of the pillars revealed the person inside, someone hidden in the pillar, who was knocked unconscious before the fight even began.

The surrounding maze-like terrain was restored, turning into a normal room.

"It's...it's a success! Now it's time to go upstairs. Dio should be upstairs!"

"I'm really sorry, but I can't let you through here." Just then, a person walked over.

The man was wearing white clothes and a black shirt with purple hearts printed on them.

Terrence. T. Darby!

This man's name.

"Do you...know the future?"

"YES, YES, YES, YES, NO."

"What—?" Terence T. Darby's expression changed. Why was Joseph's answer NO? No! He couldn't worry about that now—

"Avdol! We can't give him time to continue questioning! Act now!"

“Ah, I know—Magician Red—!” ​​Avdol said, immediately using his Stand.

The flames rushed towards him.

Terence. T. Darby's face was grim, but he still asked his question: "Do you know about Lord Dio's true Stand ability?!"

"YES, YES, YES, YES, YES!!!"

"I really know!!! Ahh ...

"I see. It seems they do have some way of seeing the future... Not just Darby, it looks like they even know about my and Lord Dio's Stand abilities. We must pass this message on to Lord Dio!"

"Huh? Look, what's that—?" Following the direction Kurokawa and Mi pointed, everyone looked over and immediately saw a man whose head seemed to be growing out of the ceiling!

"Vanilla Ace!!"

"So you do know my name... and you know all about my abilities too, that's why you've arranged everything so thoroughly. But—so what if you know!?"

boom--

As he spoke, he entered his own clone and directly passed through the ceiling to reach the next level!

"Let's go! Catch him! But don't forget to watch your surroundings, he might pretend to run away but actually be lurking nearby! Purple Hermit! Kakyoin, you come too! Make the barrier even denser! If that Stand catches us, we're really done for!"

"Ah, I understand, Mr. Joestar, the Green of the Emperor!"

......

"I see, so you can see the future... You even know everything about my Stand ability, DIO... That makes things a bit difficult! But! Knowing my abilities isn't enough to solve this problem!"

Dio Brando lifted his neck to reveal the scars on it and said, "Ace, look at the wounds on my neck. If I just drink the blood of one more person, Jonathan Joestar's body, which he still hasn't adapted to, will completely become mine. The wounds will heal completely, and I'll be able to fight Joestar and his group with all my might. Ace...would you be willing to give me your blood?"

“Yes, I am honored.” Vanilla Ace’s tone was firm and unwavering!

He simply picked up the pot from the side.

"Please accept this!" With that, he used his double to chop off his own head!

Blood gushed uncontrollably from his neck and flowed into the pot in front of him!

"To actually cut off your own head, how beautiful. But, Vanilla Ace, I will not accept the blood of someone like you. I will use the blood of others to heal myself. You don't need to die. Wake up with my blood. With this resolve, you will definitely not lose."

“DIO…sir…” Vanilla Ace touched his neck and stood up.

"As expected, your own body is still the best. I adapted in an instant. From now on, Vanilla Ace, I'll fight alongside you. How about it?"

"Yes, it is my greatest honor, Lord DIO," Vanilla Ace said, kneeling slightly, his body trembling slightly.

What an honor this is!

Since Lord DIO wants to fight alongside him, he must... show Lord DIO his power and let him know that... only he, Vanilla Ace, can be by his side!

"Grandma Enya!"

"Yes, Lord Dio, preparations are complete." From the shadows, the short, two-handed old man said with a sinister expression, "This time, we will kill every single Joestar and his men!"

"That's good, let's go!" Dio said, pushing open the door. "Let the Joestar bloodline be completely severed here!"

......

"Huh? This is... this is sub-aerial miasma!"

As Kurokawa Kazuya watched as the flame detectors devoured Avdol and the surrounding purple hermits and the unidentified green object of the Emperor, he immediately shouted, "Everyone, scatter!"

brush brush --

Click click click —

In an instant!

Time stopped.

Silently, time was stopped!

"Hmm..." Dio walked down the stairs next to him, and a yellow, ghost-like thing appeared behind him. That was his Stand—The World!

He just stopped time!

"Jotaro Kujo, I see. So this is your trump card?" Dio said with a slight smile. Just now, before the miasma from the sub-vacuum rushed down, the four of them had subtly placed Jotaro Kujo in the very center, protecting him!

"But this is the end! It starts with you—die, Joseph!!"

As he spoke, he brought his fingers together and struck Kurokawa Kazuya's neck like a chopstick!

"Oh my god—you old bastard, you're quite cunning. Could it be... that you've spread Ripple all over your body now? Should I take out Jotaro Kujo first?"

"Tsk, it's almost time." Dio said, hiding himself out of Joestar's and his group's sight. It wasn't his turn to appear yet.

Just keep an eye on them from the shadows and look for an opportunity to stop time!

Dio didn't notice... that someone had been trying to move their fingers throughout this frozen time, and... staring at him with their eyes!

Time begins to flow—

Chapter 180 The Battle Ends

'Was that Dio's time stop just now...?' Jotaro Kujo averted his gaze, deliberately looking at the sub-vacuum miasma in front of him, thinking to himself, 'This is bad... A single sub-vacuum miasma is already quite troublesome, and now there's a time stop... It's too dangerous! And more importantly, I can't say anything now... I can't say anything at all. Dio is watching nearby. If I tell the old man and the others that Dio is coming, he'll probably know in an instant that I've entered the concept of the [time stop] world... That would be tricky. Right now, I can only move slightly, not even enough time to throw a punch... I have to make him use time stop a few more times to get used to it!'

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he looked at the approaching Void Miasma and shouted, "Everyone! Avdol's flames have disappeared! Be careful, someone might attack from all sides!"

......

"Tsk... Jotaro is really cautious, but... Muda muda, I, Dio, am destined to be the one to win in the end!"

......

"Hmm...this...this guy has absolutely no intention of showing himself!" Kurokawa Kazuya said, looking at the miasma in the sky.

The situation is a bit complicated right now...

They could only hide, constantly trying to hide.

He can't do anything else; as long as he doesn't show himself, there's no way for him to attack!

And then... what exactly did Jotaro Kujo mean by saying that?

Could it be that guy Dior—?

next moment--

Time stopped once again!

"This time, it'll be you! Jotaro Kujo!"

Dio, now able to stop time once again, quickly walked towards Jotaro Kujo, his Stand—The World—appearing behind him.

"Die, Jotaro!"

Dio spoke, and his fist aimed at Jotaro's head! However—

"Eurah————"

*Pfft*

"Wh...what—?!" Dio's face was ashen as he stared at Jotaro Kujo's hand that had pierced his chest. "What...what happened? How could he move within my time...my frozen time? Impossible! This is impossible!!!"

The next moment—time began to flow!

Dio was sent flying.

"Dio!" Kurokawa Kazuya and the others quickly looked over—

On the other side, Granny Enya, who had been hiding to the side, ready to launch an attack as soon as someone was injured, also ran out with a grim expression.

Their plan was actually very simple, but also very effective.

Vanilla Ace charged forward and broke through the formation.

Then Dio used his Stand to stop time and launch an attack.

It doesn't have to kill them, just make a small wound... a tiny wound.

Grandma Enya is able to control the wound using her substitute "Justice"!

Her Stand has the ability to control the wounds on other people's bodies. If someone has many wounds, she can control that person like a puppet.

If it were just an arm, she could control it too.
