It wasn't until time began to flow that Dio remembered that the miasma was emitted by the sword in Lu Ye's hand, and it was an extremely dangerous gas.

But Lu Ye was nowhere to be found.

Dio believed it was part of the "Stand ability," so he planned to stall for time and wait for Lu Ye to appear. As long as Lu Ye appeared in the space, his vampire senses would be able to detect his presence.

However, Dio was unaware that his actions were meaningless.

Just like how [The World] pauses time whenever it activates its ability.

Once Lu Ye's ability is activated, he will disappear from the world for five seconds no matter what, regardless of anyone's feelings or opinions.

Sensing that his vampire traits were failing, Dio roared wildly.

Lu Ye had not anticipated this situation.

I never expected Dio to survive on the spot! Just how tenacious is this guy's vitality?!

"Run!" Lu Ye roared, "Dio is going to stop time!"

"The World!!"

Time stopped once again amidst Dio's frantic roar.

Dio's speed slowed down.

It's not that the ability has failed.

Rather, it was his physical condition that had deteriorated rapidly.

Having lost a large amount of blood, suffered a devastating attack on the heart, and was in poor condition.

But in any case, at least the loss of vitality has been prevented...

Dio looked ahead and saw that Lu Ye had appeared beside Josuke at some point.

And that pesky blackish-red miasma once again lingered around them.

"Hmm... teleportation?"

Dio arrived in front of Jolyne and the others.

"Once I recover, my life force will continue to drain away. I'll use your blood to replenish it... It's impossible to stop me using an air barrier! [The World] is the strongest Stand!"

Dio summoned the "World" app and immediately targeted the weather forecast, completely ignoring the miasma.

Because he was already afflicted by miasma.

In other words, he no longer had any scruples.

Chapter 783 - Euler!!!

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

Dio attacked the weather forecast at the very front.

[World] easily broke through the Weather Forecast's air wall defense with his fist, piercing his chest, and then Dio directly absorbed his blood. After all, only Dio could move and influence objects in this "gray" world.

Dio didn't do this before because he hadn't yet suffered the irreversible damage from the miasma, so he had some reservations.

Just like nuclear weapons are most powerful before they are launched.

With his heart destroyed by the Mortal Blade, Dio no longer cared about the miasma and used his Stand, The World, to launch an attack.

In a world where time has stopped, the weather forecaster's brows are furrowed, showing no sign of pain, but his skin is gradually drying out, like a withered tree in the desert, devoid of life.

At first, Dio's expression was even more terrified.

Because the loss of vitality continues...!

Out of terror, Dio screamed desperately in his heart.

Decades ago, during his battle with Jotaro in Egypt, he was able to continuously extend the time he could stop, all because of his perfect, superhuman vampire body.

However, at this moment, his vampire characteristics were gradually losing their effectiveness, so how could he not panic?

Perhaps the absorption of blood was effective, and the loss of vitality gradually stopped.

If Lu Ye's consciousness could flow at this moment, he would definitely find it impossible.

Only a panacea can stop the Mortal Blade's life from fading.

Those wounded by the Mortal Blade can only begin to recover peacefully after the life force is stopped through the use of a panacea. This is something he can be certain of after experiencing it many times.

But Lu Ye was completely unaware of this at the moment.

His time has been completely suspended.

The body's functions and the mind's thoughts have all stopped.

No, for Lu Ye, it might not be a stop, because the instant time flows, his body will perfectly connect with the actions before time was stopped, and only Dio will be changed.

Lu Ye's last five seconds of desperate effort completely destroyed Dio's heart with that attack.

This kind of injury should have killed him instantly, like an ant being crushed by someone's finger, without even a chance to struggle. After all, that's the heart, the source of all the body's power.

But after destroying Dio's heart and seeing Dio let out a frenzied roar, Lu Ye realized he had made a stereotypical mistake.

Dio is not human.

His vitality was quite strong; for him, his heart was merely a regenerable organ.

Even if his brain is churned up with a stick and his head is cleanly chopped off at the neck, given enough time, Dio Brando could recover.

It was during this process of dying that Dio activated time stop.

After removing his hand from the weather forecaster's chest, Dio, feeling slightly better, immediately turned his gaze to Josuke and Jolyne...

"It took three seconds to absorb the blood from the weather forecast... It's not that the time to stop was shortened, but that I was already on the verge of death... Originally... my first target should have been Joseph's son, or Jotaro's daughter. The Joestar bloodline is an invaluable medicine for me, Dio..."

"But that knife is too terrifying. To the best of my knowledge, I have no idea what it is. In this world where only I, Dio, can move... my life force is still draining away. If it's not replenished... I'm afraid I'll die before nine seconds are up! So I can only absorb the blood of the Weather Forecast for now!"

"Now, it's Joseph's son's and Jotaro's daughter's turn... Hmph, I really want to see what Jotaro's expression will be when he sees his daughter sucked dry, hehehe, just thinking about it makes me so excited!!"

Without hesitation, Dio plunged his hands, covered in sharp nails, into the necks of Josuke and Jolyne.

He no longer cared about Jotaro, who "might" be lurking nearby.

Because the weather forecast team has already proven this with their actions.

Dio was well aware that Jotaro could move for a second or two during the pause. Coupled with Star Platinum's extremely fast speed, even if Dio's main body accelerated three times, if he were ambushed while absorbing blood, he would definitely not have time to escape. He would be blown to pieces the moment he tried to run away, just like he did more than twenty years ago.

If Jotaro is lurking nearby, then the weather forecaster doesn't need to go to great lengths to defend against miasma, let alone prepare an air barrier to prevent flying knives; it can simply act as bait.

In fact, Dio had suspicions from the very first time he sensed Jotaro's presence.

Is Jotaro among them? After all, they haven't been able to monitor the weather forecaster and others since leaving the NASA center.

But after several attacks, Dio finally confirmed it.

Jotaro Kujo was in the vicinity of the Kennedy Space Center, but he had not yet arrived here.

After all, this place covers an area of ​​about 30,000 hectares, and Jotaro won't be able to get back in time.

Fresh blood was continuously injected into Dio's body.

Dio felt a long-lost sense of continuous power, and the scar on his neck from when he possessed Jonathan Joestar's body was gradually healing perfectly.

It absorbed the blood of two Joestar descendants in one go!

Dio is feeling a continuous surge of power coming towards him!

Just as Dio was overjoyed, he caught a glimpse of Lu Ye and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Lu Ye.

What an enigmatic figure...

Regardless of birth and origin...

A Stand can only have one Stand ability.

What may seem like superfluous abilities are actually just disguised uses of the true nature of those abilities.

This is what is known as learning by analogy.

But the abilities this kid has shown seem to exceed that.

There are two seconds left.

Dio withdrew his hands from Josuke and Jolyne's bodies, and incidentally pierced Josuke's chest with [The World].

Looking at the bloody hole, Dio had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

The feel of killing Weather Forecaster and Josuke seems a little different from the feel of killing Anna Sui...

Dio narrowed his long, narrow eyes and immediately used [World] to pierce Jolyne's chest again.

This time, however, he did not destroy it directly, but instead extracted Jolyne's heart.

Looking at the bright red, now-cease-beating heart, Dio snorted coldly.

"It seems I was overthinking it. Piercing through the chest is the fastest and most direct way to kill a human. After all... you are not me, you cannot reach the same level as me, Dio."

The blood has indeed been completely drawn.

Two seconds passed, but time did not stop flowing.

"Hahahaha... Just as I expected, the time I, Dio, can pause has increased again. Not one second, not two seconds, but a full five seconds. I can feel it. In four seconds, you will all die here. Fate... is indeed on my side, Dio!!"

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

The world launched a furious and relentless attack.

In five seconds, [the world] destroyed the weather forecast's comprehensive air defenses in just two and a half seconds. After all, in a world where time has stopped, even if the weather forecast's head is cut off, he won't die...

To be precise, it didn't reach the point of "death".

Because his time was frozen before his death.

Therefore, the Stand ability will not disappear.

Dio originally intended to use [World] to kill all of these people.

However, being cautious, he glanced at Lu Ye again.

“Considering there are only two and a half seconds left, and I don’t want to risk taking another hit from that strange blade…” Dio leaned closer to Lu Ye. “Back on the ice, you seemed to vanish instantly, right? Was that high-speed movement, or teleportation? Since you can use so many incredible abilities… Ah, could it be that you can move within the frozen time? Could you possess the same ability… But why didn’t you attack me the first time, when I, Dio, forgot about you? Why? Was it because you simply couldn’t keep up with me, or… was it because I, Dio, am too fast?”
