I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

And these children will become his steps to heaven.

That was his original thought, but he was defeated before he could even get to those things.

“I know what you’re thinking, you so-called ‘God King’,” DIO said. “You want to completely accept someone like me, to show your magnanimity and take everything I have for yourself, right?!”

“That’s right! Exactly! That’s exactly what I planned to do—” Osmandis made no attempt to hide his intentions: “Indeed, you are a villain who deserves no pity, and I have no intention of showing you any pity, but—your existence is my proof! The proof of the sun, let me make a prophecy—you will fail! You will fail once again, fail the saintess you despise, fail against the Golden Spirit—!”

“…” DIO fell silent.

Indeed, just as Osmandis said, he failed every time because of such things.

If one could know for certain whether they had failed, that would be fine; knowing the outcome would allow them to make a conscious decision. But now, it's precisely this ambiguous situation of being unable to determine the outcome.

In this way, 'enlightenment' cannot be born.

but--

That was the original situation!

"I am a [seizer]."

"?"

"I swear to become a [The Stealer]. So now, Osmandis, what do you think I'm going to steal? By deliberately leaving one or two enemies in this singularity and deliberately maintaining it, what am I trying to steal?"

DIO laughed loudly: "Hahaha—that's right! What I want to seize is the Demon King's purpose, his expectations, his journey around the planet's time, his purpose of coming to the beginning of the planet's birth. I will seize all of it! And make it my own. The one who can return to that point in time is not the Demon King Goetia, but me, DIO!"

Osmandis could only watch, now speechless, or rather, controlled and unable to speak.

He had exhausted himself in the last battle, which allowed DIO to take advantage of his weakness.

The man who called himself 'Solomon' also helped DIO, allowing him to completely strip Osmandis of his abilities and authority.

They had no idea what kind of monster his actions had unleashed.

Of course, it wasn't actually 'Solomon' but a collection of demon pillars called 'Goetia', a fact he only learned through DIO.

He can only speak when DIO wants to hear him; otherwise... he can only remain silent, watching helplessly and unable to say or do anything...

The person who currently holds the dominant position in this body is not oneself.

It's DIO!

Therefore, that one in Camelot had already been destroyed long ago.

The Lion King was defeated by his power.

The Knights of the Round Table have scattered. Apart from one who remained as his enemy, the rest have long since had their spirit origins stolen and become his subordinates by his ability to rewrite reality...

If it weren't for the fact that the Lion King was special, he would have already become one of his subordinates.

This couldn't be worse.

But he could only watch, unable to take any action.

But—he didn't believe it was all over! Just as he said, his thoughts were unwavering, and all his words contained 'resolve': DIO would surely fail again! He would surely be defeated again!

This is his prophecy as the god-king, as Osmandis!

Chapter 1217 Victory or Defeat

"Wang You..."

Agravan looked at the enormous ring above him, positioned in satellite orbit: "How much longer can we survive here...?"

The pursuers of Osmandis, the king of gods, are getting closer and closer to him.

They were getting closer and closer to the king, the Lion King, Artoria, who was already unconscious behind him.

The king originally possessed the Holy Grail and summoned the Knights of the Round Table.

However, among the Knights of the Round Table, there were those who followed King Arthur rather than the Lion King, and those who disagreed with the Lion King's ideas.

The result, naturally, was a civil war.

Although the rebellious Knights of the Round Table were wiped out, the Knights of the Round Table, including the Lion King, all suffered injuries of varying degrees.

At this moment—

An assassination attempt has occurred!

Osmandis, the god-king, appeared out of nowhere and after hiding for an unknown period of time!

At that moment, Artoria was punched right through the chest. She had just finished fighting the Knights of the Round Table. Even the Lion King couldn't help but linger in those few seconds of past sadness. The outcome was decided immediately!

Even now, Agravan can't believe that the God-King, Osmandis, would actually commit such an Assassin's act as 'assassination,' and do so with such skill in concealing his presence.

So he ran away with the Lion King, while the other Knights of the Round Table, still wounded from their battle with their companions, fought the God-King to stop him.

result...

Three days ago, he fought against pursuers from Osmandis.

The pursuer is Lancelot.

That man actually became one of Osmandis's men!

No matter how much he looked down on Lancelot, no matter how much he loathed this man... he couldn't believe it—that man was turning around and trying to kill him, trying to kill the Lion King.

And it wasn't just him; Gawain followed later, and that Sun Knight also became Osmandis's subordinate.

Although I don't know exactly what happened.

But all he could do was run, keep running—

"If...if Avalon were still here...if the Holy Sword Excalibur were still here...My King, perhaps the outcome would be very different," Agravure said to the unconscious Artoria.

In her hand she held the world's anchor—the spear that shines in the end (Rhongomyniad).

The power of the Holy Lance kept her alive; if she loosened her grip, she would truly face death.

As long as she still holds that holy lance, there is still hope.

Sooner or later she will awaken and then truly unleash the power of the Holy Lance to completely destroy Osmandis and his temple complex.

But...can I really hold on until the day she wakes up?

......

If Osmandis had any dissatisfaction with the current situation, it was with DIO's actions.

He never said anything to anyone that he was not Ottomandis but DIO; on the contrary, he openly waved his own banner.

When the Knights of the Round Table were fighting amongst themselves, it was probably because they knew that they, as the god-kings within the pyramids, wouldn't intervene.

That's right!

If it were him, he definitely wouldn't interfere!

But DIO is different!

He is a villain, an extremely wicked person! He doesn't care about those things, he doesn't care about reputation or value, and he doesn't care whether he can beat the Lion King right now.

Lurk in the shadows, wait for the perfect moment, and then deliver the most powerful blow without any dignity!

However, he also had doubts. What reason would he have for sparing the Lion King's life? Although he sent those who had altered his Spirit Origin with his abilities to attack Agravure, it was clear that he hadn't used his full strength, merely conveying the message that 'I haven't let you go.'

However, there's nothing he can do right now; he can only watch.

......

The enemy must be defeated decisively from the very beginning!

DIO narrowed his eyes slightly, awaiting the arrival of Chaldea.

Sitting in the temple like this, waiting for the enemy to arrive, he felt as if he had returned to Cairo, back to the time when his Stand had stopped time and was welcoming Jotaro Kujo and his group.

He was originally prepared to take action himself.

He had felt the spying a long time ago, but at first he thought it was just his imagination until one day he realized that it was Joseph Joestar's double!

He was thinking, 'Ignore him, I just need to focus on finding a way to reach 'Heaven'.' But—damn woman, news came from Nijimura that Kujo Hori had awakened her Stand because of him, but couldn't control it and was therefore running a high fever.

He found out at that time.

'Ah, just like back then, Joestar and his group will definitely come because of that woman.'

So, while searching for a way to ascend to heaven, he had to find a way to deal with Joestar and his group.

When Kakyoin Noriaki failed, he was prepared to personally finish off Joestar and his group, but Granny Enya confidently said, "Leave it to her." So, DIO didn't actually take action.

As a result... Granny Enya failed, and she died. As a result, the Stand users who were originally under Granny Enya's control lost control and began to act 'freely'.

Grandma Enya once suggested a plan: to bypass Jotaro Kujo and his group and instead target 'Hori Kujo' in Japan.

However, he rejected the suggestion.

The reason is simple: if he had actually made a move... Joestar and his crew would have 'exploded' like Jonathan did back then. Joestar's bloodline is not to be underestimated. If he had actually done that back then, death might have come even faster.

Although—the result was no different, I had indeed failed and been defeated.

However, according to my memory, it was a world where I succeeded... a world where I successfully ascended to heaven, and I gained that power as a result.

but--

How exactly did we manage to reach the top?

How exactly did they defeat Jotaro Kujo and his group?

No memory.

I have absolutely no memory of this; it's a gap in my knowledge.

And now, something similar is about to happen again. The only difference is that Joestar and his group won't be there this time. But... so what if it's Chaldea?

They restored the power they possessed by repairing several singularities.

That explosive power, that ability to turn the tide in a crisis...

"The outcome will be decided before they even become familiar with this world—I, DIO, will never make the same mistake twice!"
