Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

Anna Sui seems to have discovered something.

"Hey, look! What's happening down there? People are surging out like a rising tide!"

FF and Emporio looked down.

Sure enough, many people rushed out of the movie theater as if something was chasing them.

FF yelled, "Wait a minute! Look! What's that?!"

Anna Sui and Emporio looked in the direction she was pointing and saw some mutated, terrifying figures pinning down tourists running ahead, biting them viciously, or digging their fingers into other tourists' necks. The injured tourists then began to mutate as well.

FF yelled, "Hey... this is like something out of a zombie movie, and it's actually happening! What on earth happened?!"

"I don't understand, but one thing is for sure: this must be Dio's doing!"

"I see!" Emporio understood. "I know! The commotion that Jolyne and the others encountered was probably the source of the outbreak! Once these people are converted, they will become Dio's allies! Then the situation will be completely reversed!"

"At first, we blended in with the crowd, but these tourists will then search for us, forcing us to divert our attention to deal with them. Dio, on the other hand, can blend in more easily and wait for the new moon to arrive!"

"Were we tricked...!?"

"Look, this is happening in other places too!"

Emporio looked around and, sure enough, the entire visitor center was beginning to fall into chaos.

A large number of uninfected tourists rushed towards the exit, with a few still preparing to climb over the wall and pass through the railings...

The visitor center is in complete chaos.

Forget about finding Dio, even finding the location of the other companions is difficult.

In a few more minutes, this place will probably fall.

But even if you rush down there rashly, there is still a risk of infection.

Are we just going to be delayed like this until the new moon?!

But soon, they and Ames received a message from Lu Ye.

[Everyone, head to the upper level of the shopping mall. Use your Stand abilities to protect yourselves and be careful not to get infected by those undead.]

"Should we go now? There are so many zombie-like creatures outside!"

FF glanced down at the densely packed crowd below.

More importantly, these people will not leave even when the park is closed.

Because they have turned into zombies.

“We have to go, whether we like it or not,” Emporio said. “Now we’re the ones being hunted. If we don’t come together, Dio will pick us off one by one.”

“You’re right…” Anna Sui’s expression was serious. “Besides, the place we’re in is so cramped. If Dio gets close, it’ll be terrible. With time stopped, no one can do anything…”

After saying that, they set off.

Ames and the weather forecaster also started heading towards the shopping mall from the other side of the safety net.

"Well, has the message been sent out?" Josuke Higashikata asked.

the other side.

NASA Center rooftop.

Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, Dio looked down over the entire visitor center.

Behind him were more than a dozen mummified corpses that had been drained of their blood.

"Just as I thought... So these sewer rats are finally starting to gather," Dio sneered. "It seems they're still afraid of the power of my [World], afraid of being defeated one by one, which is why they've chosen to gather together, isn't it?"

"But then... how will you efficiently search for my whereabouts, Dio?" Dio sneered. "Over a hundred years ago, even with limited communication, Jonathan was able to find me in a short time, let alone now. However... what if you're just using these undead as a barrier? I, Dio, am right here, but you can't find my exact location. In forty-one minutes, night will fall..."

"Is that so? Then I'm afraid you won't live to see the moon...Dio!"

"what?!"

Dio turned around and saw only a blue-green figure.

It emerged from the wall, like a fish surfacing for air.

Dio frowned slightly: "A stand-in?"

Just then, the doors on the top floor of the NASA center opened.

Lu Ye and his group appeared in front of Dio.

Josuke Higashikata frowned: "Is this guy...Dio?"

Whether they had never met Dio before or Polnareff had fought Dio, they all felt an evil and dark chill.

Even Anna Sui, who came only for Jolyne, had a terrifying thought of "submission" arise in her mind the moment she saw Dio.

This gave him a sense of dread.

No wonder Jolyne and the others were so wary of this guy. He was already like this even in a weakened state. If they didn't take care of him now... the consequences would be unimaginable!

Even though he had been discovered, Dio showed no fear.

"Thank goodness you found this place so quickly..."

Lu Ye said, "Dio, you want to use the Corpse People to interfere with us, which means you have given up your chance to disguise yourself and want to buy time by restraining us. But you old fogey have forgotten one thing... times have changed."

“That old bastard Joseph’s adopted daughter isn’t here. I sensed her presence in the mansion,” Dio’s gaze shifted to the monitor. “Hmm… I see. She must have gone to the monitoring room or something. When a large number of people leave, it becomes much easier to monitor places with surveillance. After all, what used to require sifting through a hundred people to find a target doesn’t need to be done now… I, Dio, actually forgot this. After all, these things weren’t common more than twenty years ago…”

"Dio!" Jolyne took two steps forward. "You're finished. You can wake up from your dream of 'going to heaven,' because the place you're about to go... is hell!"

Chapter 776 The Crisis of the Corpse-like Beings

As Jolyne approached step by step, Dio snorted coldly, then revealed a smile.

This gave Lu Ye a bad feeling.

Is it just my imagination?

I have a feeling that there's something strange about Dio.

When we came down from the roof of the shopping mall, we had already made a plan.

Since Dio has already used his vampire abilities to create corpses, it means he has been able to obtain enough blood to overcome his weakened state. The dozen or so corpses piled up in the hall here are enough to prove this point.

In other words, Dio can now pause for about nine seconds.

This is precisely why everyone has gathered together.

Nine seconds, even if it's just killing one person per second, is enough for Dio to wipe out his entire team.

However, there are only two ways for him to kill Lu Ye and his group.

One method is to pause time and use long-range attacks such as throwing knives to throw knives at each person's vital points. In this way, when time resumes its flow, even if a Stand with extremely high speed can react in time, it may not be able to block the knives successfully, thus achieving a kill.

Secondly, when they approached within about ten meters, to a position where Dio's Stand, "The World," could launch an attack, they activated the time-stop ability, killing everyone, starting with Josuke, through the chest within nine seconds, without giving them any chance to use their Stand abilities.

Given the current situation, Dio can only choose the second method of attack.

The reason for this is because of Lu Ye and the others' positioning.

They had just come up the stairs, their backs against the wall, and those behind them were blocked by those in front. Dio couldn't throw knives from all directions, nor could he kill everyone in an instant from the front.

Even if he wanted to kill a few people first to reduce Lu Ye and the others' combat strength, he would be attacked by the others.

No matter how strong Dio's Stand [The World] is, it's impossible for him to withstand attacks from more than five Stand users. He will be instantly defeated before the next time stop is activated.

In other words, Lu Ye and the others walking together, not too far apart, was a baiting tactic to lure Dio into a trap.

Dio's choice to launch an attack using the second method played right into Lu Ye's hands.

Jolyne had already set up a thread barrier around Lu Ye and his group, about ten meters away, outside the range of Dio's Stand attack, using her ability to turn her body into threads.

Admittedly, Dio's [World] time-stopping ability is extremely powerful; within nine seconds, he is the only one unaffected by time stop and able to act normally.

It takes about one second to activate the time-stop ability.

Lu Ye and Jolyne were well aware of this, because they had already seen Jotaro's memories.

To be precise, it takes one second for Dio to activate and complete his ability.

Dio must be about ten meters away to activate his ability. Otherwise, if he activates the time-stop ability from a distance and then gets closer, he won't be able to kill everyone within those nine seconds. At most, he can only kill Jolyne, Anna Sui, and Ames who is the closest.

Then, he will be targeted and attacked by the rest of the team.

But once he chooses to approach.

The moment Lu Ye touches Jolyne's threads, he will activate his ability to "Escape into the Void".

It's not a weaker version, but a genuine five-second "invincibility" period, allowing for a decapitation kill on Dio.

This is the plan.

Because time-stopping is a rather tricky ability.

Not knowing when the other party will stop time makes it impossible to take countermeasures, just like a roast chicken that has been skewered on an iron hook and put into an oven, with no way to change the outcome.

The only person who can deal with Dio is Jotaro. Only he can act for about two seconds in Dio's time-stopped world. However, he is still on his way. This situation is as awkward as the main DPS just coming out of the fountain during a team fight.

Even if Lu Ye is unaffected by time stop after activating his ability, that is still after activating his ability.

Once Dio activates his ability, we're doomed.

He won't be spared then either.

However, if Jolyne sets up a barrier around them like Jotaro's companion, Kakyoin Noriaki, and combined with Dio's earlier desire to achieve a one-time kill of everyone, then Lu Ye would be able to sense Dio in advance.

Indeed, a line from Jolyne was quietly piercing into the web of Lu Ye's left hand.

Once Dio touches the barrier, the threads will notify Lu Ye, who will immediately activate his ability.

After Dio enters a distance of about ten meters and activates time stop, Lu Ye will be unaffected and will be able to observe Dio's movements. Because he activates his ability two seconds earlier than Dio, he will be able to eliminate Dio before Dio can make a move, just as the ability world ends.

However, Dio seemed to have no intention of getting close at all.

There is another possibility...

That's right, that's the new ability that Dio gained after fusing with the green baby.

Jolyne and her group did not devise a strategy for this, because they were unable to.

Because they don't even know what the opponent's Stand looks like, let alone understand the Stand's new abilities, they can't develop a strategy specifically targeting those abilities.
