Chapter 790 The Final Battle (1)

dio pointed at Lu Ye.

"Joseph's bastard son is dead, and you're next. I'll kill you all slowly, just like you killed my men! You scum, you're not even as good as rat droppings in a toilet! Witness my true power, which surpasses even Heaven, as I, Dio, am destined to uphold the path of the 'Secret Emperor.' My century-long fate with the Joestar family must be settled here today!"

After saying that, Dio's figure suddenly disappeared.

Lu Ye, Jolyne, and Jotaro stood back to back, preparing for Dio's impending attack.

Lu Ye's eye twitched slightly.

If he heard correctly, Dio's ability is to overwrite reality?

how so……

“To ‘rewrite’ the ‘truth’?” Jolyne was taken aback.

“Mr. Jotaro, do you know Giorno Giovanna?” Luye asked.

Jotaro nodded: "What do you want to say? Although his safety is temporarily guaranteed, you don't want to call him over, do you? His identity is... Besides, calling him over now is useless; we've already been driven to the brink."

“No, it’s an ability,” Polnareff added for Lu Ye. “Giono’s ability is to prevent the enemy from ever reaching the truth they want, while Dio can not only break this ability, but also ‘overwrite’ it. Overwriting ‘truth’ is like using correction fluid to erase the words on paper and then filling in the content again with a pen.”

"Simply put, it's the so-called 'wish fulfillment,' an ability that can be described as invincible," Lu Ye said. "After saying that, Dio dared to directly state his Stand ability. Combined with the two hours we jumped between before, I dare say that Dio used those two hours to familiarize himself with this new Stand ability."

"This ability... do you have a solution?" Jolyne asked as she laid out threads around them.

Although she knew it was futile, she had not given up hope, and her fighting spirit remained undiminished.

The warmth emanating from Jotaro made her feel at ease.

As long as my father is by my side, I will be able to keep going.

She's just a 19-year-old girl now; perhaps she'll grow up to be even stronger.

As Lu Ye thought about this, he remembered Violet.

I must go back, and only after completing my mission.

Therefore, there is a way to ask Jolyne.

This is the last chance.

“Of course, the Diavolo’s arrow that I tracked down many years ago is now in my hands,” Polnareff said. “Next, I will hand this ‘arrow’ over to you, Jotaro.”

"Give me the insect arrow?"

“Your ‘Platinum Star’ can stop time. If it’s an ability that evolves further from that, it might be able to compete with Dio’s ‘The World Over Heaven.’ This is our last chance,” Lu Ye said.

“But there’s still a problem. The moment I take out the arrow… Jotaro, you have to activate time stop and pierce your own Stand with the arrow during the pause.” Polnareff said seriously, “Dio can overwrite reality, and he is likely nearby right now. Only in this way can we ensure that the arrow is not taken by Dio as much as possible.”

"Let's do it that way then, but how can you guarantee that Dio won't affect it the moment it's taken out?" Jolyne asked the crucial question at this moment.

Lu Ye smiled smugly: "Even if you want to rewrite reality, you have to make sure he knows that this 'reality' exists."

Lu Ye's hand quietly touched Polnareff's tortoise shell.

The next instant, Jotaro understood Lu Ye's intention.

Because he had already sensed the hard and sharp touch inside his right sleeve.

In that instant, Lu Ye had already taken out the insect arrow, eliminated it with the ability of the Gray Age, and then wrapped it with thread and sent it into Jotaro's sleeve.

With no idea when Dio's attack would arrive, Jotaro didn't hesitate and activated his time-stop ability the moment he sensed the "Insect Arrow".

"Star Platinum: The World!!!"

Everything tends to be still.

The broken half of the insect arrow from Jotaro's right sleeve slid into his right palm.

Just as he was about to thrust the arrow at Star Platinum, Jotaro's pupils suddenly contracted.

It's Dio!

Before anyone knew it, Dio had appeared above Jolyne, about to chop her head off with a hand chop. The World appeared behind Dio, striking the same pose.

Dio can even move in a world where time has been stopped!

Jotaro's anger surged.

If it were before, he probably would have rushed forward already.

However, having learned from Josuke's example, Jotaro was still able to maintain a sliver of rationality.

If we rush in now, everything will be over.

Even if they attack Dio now, they don't know if it's an illusion. Even if it is the real Dio, Star Platinum is helpless against him now.

Jotaro thrusts the insect arrow at Star Platinum.

But just as half of the arrowhead was about to pierce Platinum Star's skin...

The world before Jotaro's eyes regained its color.

Time flows on again.

"H-How could this be...?!"

Jotaro was taken aback.

I can pause for about 2.5 seconds.

The process of piercing the Platinum Star with an arrow takes less than a second.

Even after witnessing Dio's preparation to attack Jolyne, Jotaro instantly suppressed his anger and maintained his composure.

How could 2.5 seconds pass so quickly?

Could it be that Dio did something without knowing it?

Or perhaps... my subjective perception of the passage of time has changed?

At the same time, Jotaro was surprised to find that the insect arrow was no longer in his hand.

"Jotaro! What are you doing?"

At that moment, Polnareff's anxious voice rang out.

"The insect arrow is on the ground!" Lu Ye's voice reminded Jotaro.

He looked down at the ground and saw that the insect arrow had indeed landed there.

"Is it Dio?" Jotaro didn't immediately pick up the insect arrow.

"The arrow fell from your hand, Father!" Jolyne said. "From our perspective, your hand, which was suspended in mid-air, unconsciously loosened, and the arrow fell to the ground!"

let go?

But I didn't let go...

Jotaro suddenly realized something and looked sharply towards the horizon.

Before we knew it, dawn had broken.

A golden-red light appeared on the sea surface as dawn broke.

Lu Ye and Xu Lun also noticed this phenomenon.

But soon, the sun was rising rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then setting in the west.

The wind picked up quickly, and the tide surged in rapidly, instantly engulfing everyone up to their calves.

Jotaro finally understood.

My perception of time is indeed flawed.

The entire night passed in an instant.

That's right.

It's not a leap, it's an experience.

They simply knew nothing about it.

Chapter 791 The Final Battle (2)

The sun is setting in the west at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, the sky darkened again.

The tides rise and fall, and the once calm sea surface is now quite turbulent.

The seabirds that flew across the sky were so fast that they seemed like afterimages.

But Jotaro knew perfectly well.

The flow of time has accelerated, but their own time has not.

Moreover, the accelerated time cannot be applied to living organisms.

Otherwise, after a whole day, they would feel hungry.

The birds' speed didn't increase; it was the airflow that sped up. The seabirds that had just flown away from the sky couldn't really be described as flying; they were merely gliding along, carried by the sea breeze.

This also explains why Jotaro dropped the arrow.

During the time stop, he thought he was holding the arrow, but his perception of the passage of time had changed.

The so-called "time stop" is not a true time stop in a certain sense.

This is the conclusion Jotaro reached after he passed the exam for a doctorate in oceanography and studied the abilities of Star Platinum: The World.

If time truly stopped, even the phenomenon of light reflection would disappear. In other words, in a world where time is completely suspended, nothing would be visible, the effect of temperature transfer would also disappear, and people would quickly suffer hypothermia and freeze to death.

The time-stopping abilities of Star Platinum and Dio's world can be seen, to some extent, as "making themselves infinitely close to the speed of light".

In this way, with Jotaro himself as the reference, everything almost comes to a standstill.

Because the actual flow of time has accelerated, what Jotaro saw earlier was the scene from the previous second, and time had already passed. In the second that corresponds to real time, Jotaro actually did nothing; at that moment, the arrow had already left his hand and was falling towards the ground.

Although at the moment time resumed its flow, Star Platinum could have easily caught the insect arrow.

However, the flow of time in the real world has accelerated.

Aside from living things, time is passing by rapidly in everything.
