But Qin Chuan knew that the sub-space miasma only appeared to have disappeared; in reality, it was rushing towards him from another space—if it hit him, his body would be annihilated by space!

Moreover, the sub-aerial miasma may not necessarily rush straight towards Qin Chuan; it may also rush towards Qin Chuan's left or right. Therefore, Qin Chuan must determine the direction of the sub-aerial miasma in order to avoid the path that will be cut off.

For an ordinary person, this would probably be a gamble, choosing one of the four directions—left, center, or right—to dodge. But Qin Chuan was different. He simply raised his hand and punched the ground below him hard.

boom!

The ground was shattered by the terrifying force of the punch, revealing a huge crater. Qin Chuan's body fell into the crater, and then he looked up.

Swish-!

Sure enough, the next moment, a sound of space being slicing away came from above Qin Chuan's head. Then, the head of the Void Miasma appeared, and Vanilla's face appeared in the Void Miasma's mouth, trying to see if it had hit Qin Chuan.

However, Vanila clearly didn't notice that Qin Chuan was already below him.

"Blackbird!"

The black Stand instantly appeared in front of Qin Chuan and delivered a powerful punch to the Void Miasma above, aiming directly at the head of Vanilla, which the Void Miasma was talking about!

"What!?"

However, Vanila sensed it in advance. The moment the sub-vapor miasma appeared, Vanila felt that there was nothing beneath her feet. Looking down, she saw that there was a huge pit beneath her feet.

Judging from the shape of the crater, it was clearly smashed down!

Inside the deep pit, Qin Chuan's figure was clearly visible, and his stand-in, Black Bird, was already standing directly below the sub-space miasma, its enormous fist smashing towards his face.

A deep sense of fear welled up in Vanilla's heart. He had a feeling that if he were hit by this Stand's fist, his head would be crushed as if it had been sliced ​​off by the sub-vapor miasma.

Extreme fear and the premonition of danger made him quickly pull his head back into the mouth of the sub-vapor miasma—but while he managed to pull himself back, the sub-vapor miasma's body couldn't return to the alternate dimension in time.

Boom!

Blackbird's fist struck the Void Miasma squarely in the shoulder, instantly tearing its body apart. Vanilla's scream echoed from the Void Miasma's mouth:

"Ughhhhhh—! You bastard!"

The next moment, Vanila endured the pain and let the Void Miasma devour itself again, disappearing from Qin Chuan's sight and hiding in the alternate dimension.

But in the deep pit, an arm and a leg fell—not Vanilla's limbs, but parts of the sub-space miasma shattered by the Blackbird.

"The Stand's parts were shattered... According to the Stand's injury pattern, it will be reflected in the user. Now Vanilla should also be missing an arm and a leg."

Qin Chuan glanced at the limbs of the "sub-void miasma" beneath his feet, frowned, and looked at the spot where the sub-void miasma had disappeared. "It's a pity I couldn't kill him with one punch, and he hid in the alternate dimension... It's okay, I can finish him off with the second punch."

Chapter Forty-Three: Unable to Satisfy Lord Sub-Void Miasma

"Damn it, who is this guy? How can he punch such a big crater? Is he a vampire like Lord Dio?"

Inside the miasma of the sub-space, Vanila's left hand and left leg were broken. He gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with hatred for Qin Chuan, and he was puzzled and fearful of the power that Qin Chuan had used to create the huge crater with his punch.

In his opinion, ordinary people simply couldn't do such a thing. He had just seen Qin Chuan call out his substitute when he attacked him, which meant that Qin Chuan had personally created that deep pit.

Only vampires like Dio possess superhuman physical strength, but to be honest, Vanilla wasn't sure if her revered Lord Dio could achieve such power.

His reason told him that even Dio, a vampire, couldn't create such a large crater with a single punch, but his admiration for Dio made him unable to deny Dio's power.

"Whatever it is, it has destroyed my body, which was created for Lord Dio, to this state. I will wipe it out completely!"

However, he quickly put those things out of his mind, replaced by intense anger—he roared and manipulated the sub-space miasma to begin swirling and approaching Qin Chuan.

Indeed, being hidden inside the miasma of the sub-space, he was unable to observe the outside world with his eyes, which made it impossible for him to determine the exact direction of the enemy and to launch an attack that could actually hit them.

But as long as he draws a huge circle by shaving space, like a mosquito coil, and spirals continuously toward the center of the circle, then the enemy will not be able to escape his spatial shaving.

Just as a circular wall is built by rapidly shaving away space and constantly compressed, people trapped inside the wall called "spatial shaving" cannot escape.

"Looks like this guy has really pushed me to the limit, resorting to this kind of attack so quickly."

Standing in the deep pit, Qin Chuan quickly noticed that the surrounding space was being frantically shaving away like a spiral, with large amounts of cement and objects being swallowed up and disappearing into the alternate dimension.

A fire hydrant not far away had been cut in half, with a large amount of water gushing out. A part of the telephone booth in front had been cut off, exposing the mechanical parts of the telephone inside. Trees along the street were also snapped in half and thrown to the ground.

Vanilla clearly didn't care whether the horrific scene here would be noticed by ordinary people, after all, he had killed everyone in the hotel, showing that he had no feelings for ordinary people.

In the original work, Polnareff, a member of the main group, could hardly think of a countermeasure when faced with this move, but Qin Chuan is different. Qin Chuan can still break this method of spiraling and cutting through space to close in.

His physical strength is far superior to Polnareff's, and unlike Polnareff in the original work, he doesn't have half of his foot cut off. With a powerful jump, he can reach places that Vanilla can't reach.

However, Vanilla may have also considered this point—he must have known that Qin Chuan was incredibly strong and could jump very high, so the other party may have already taken precautions against Qin Chuan escaping through the air.

"Space erasure is indeed a troublesome ability."

Qin Chuan squinted as he watched the spherical space continuously draw spiral circles on its outer side, gradually moving closer to him. Then, he looked down at his feet.

At his feet lay a hand and a foot of the Void Miasma—logically speaking, these two Stand parts were meaningless to Qin Chuan, since a Stand was merely a manifestation of spiritual power and had no physical form.

But Qin Chuan vaguely sensed something. He looked at the black bird beside him—and the black bird seemed to obey Qin Chuan's thoughts, bending down to pick up the hand and foot from the ground, and then…

It was placed inside its own pitch-black body.

……

"Disappear, Qin Chuan!"

hum!

The next moment, the spherical spatial shavings reached Qin Chuan's location. The terrifying spatial power carved a spherical crater into the spot where Qin Chuan had originally been, and it even looked a little larger than the surrounding area that had been shavings.

Perhaps it was Vanilla's hatred for Qin Chuan that caused him to expand his abilities slightly when he eliminated Qin Chuan's location.

"Did it disappear? Was it completely wiped out by the sub-space miasma?"

The figure of the Void Miasma reappeared as the space was cleared, but compared to its initial appearance, the Void Miasma was now missing an arm, and the foot it had swallowed in its mouth had also disappeared, making it look somewhat disheveled.

Vanila, breathing heavily, peered out of the miasma-filled air and looked around—nothing in front, nothing to the left, nothing to the right, nothing behind, not even above or below.

It seemed that Qin Chuan had truly been wiped out by his sub-vapor miasma, leaving not even a trace... But Vanilla knew very well that he hadn't actually cut anything off at all!

The essence of the sub-void miasma's ability to shave away space is to use the miasma's mouth to gnaw at space—that is to say, its space shaving is actually eating, and it can still distinguish whether its mouth has bitten anything or not.

However, Vanilla soon discovered that a black object remained at the spot where he had spiraled away.

Still huddled inside the miasma, Vanila quickly floated over and then saw clearly what was on the ground.

It was a black humanoid object with only its lower body, and Vanilla remembered this kind of thing—Qin Chuan's Stand "Blackbird" was a completely black humanoid Stand!

"So that's how it is. As I spiraled toward him, I had already sliced ​​him in two at the waist?"

Seeing this, Vanilla felt much more relaxed. Once she realized that Qin Chuan's stand had been cut in half, Qin Chuan naturally couldn't have survived.

He didn't actually cut anything with his last bite, but that seemed to be because Qin Chuan had already been hit in the upper body by him before that.

The Stand's injuries are synchronized with the original user's. His sub-vapor miasma had broken off an arm and a leg, resulting in his own arm and leg also being broken, and they were still throbbing slightly.

"Hmph... Damn Qin Chuan, although I couldn't kill him in the most painful state, that guy's strength is indeed not to be underestimated. This is probably the safest outcome."

Vanila poked her head out again, probably thinking that Qin Chuan was beyond dead, so this time Vanila even stuck her neck out of the mouth of the miasma.

It seemed as if they wanted to get close to that half-black body, wanting to see clearly how Qin Chuan's double had died.

Even though Qin Chuan's body had been thrown away somewhere, just seeing the miserable state of his substitute was enough to make him feel much better.

Chapter Forty-Four: Black Bird - Sub-Void Miasma

"Thank you, Vanilla Ace."

Just as Vanilla strained his neck to see the black bird's dead state, a hand suddenly shot out from the void and grabbed Vanilla's neck.

Then, amidst his panicked expression, they forcibly pulled him out of the miasma's mouth.

That strange strength was something that even Vanila couldn't contend with despite her best efforts. It was like a human trying to catch an insect—an insurmountable gap. What's more, Vanila was missing an arm and a leg at this point.

"This...this is..."

Under Vanilla's horrified gaze, a black substance slowly emerged from the base of the hand that appeared from the void, gradually expanding into the shape of a black bird.

Qin Chuan slowly emerged from the shadow of the black bird—the hand that had grabbed Vanilla's neck was Qin Chuan's right hand.

Without a doubt, now Qin Chuan's right hand only needs to exert a little force to easily break Vanila's neck, just like a Cantonese person twists a chicken's neck.

But what Vanilla cared more about was the way Blackbird made his entrance:

"Your Stand... its ability is..."

"It seems you recognized it. Yes, it's your 'Sub-Void Miasma' ability."

A malicious smile appeared on Qin Chuan's face—just now, driven by his instincts, he had made the black bird devour a portion of the short limbs of the sub-vapor miasma into its body.

Then he realized that his Stand, "Blackbird," was not a blank slate that simply copied his power, but a Stand that could devour objects to acquire their abilities.

After absorbing a portion of the limbs of the sub-void miasma, the Blackbird also gained the ability to connect to other dimensions. Now, the Blackbird can also perform spatial erasure and use other dimensions to contain Qin Chuan's main body.

Of course, it's also possible to devour Blackbird's own body into another dimension, thus disappearing from everyone else's sight.

"How could this be... I clearly saw the lower half of your black bird..."

Vanilla's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the half-black body not far away.

It was that black lower half that made Vanila think Qin Chuan was dead, which is why she stretched out her neck without any suspicion, only to be grabbed by Qin Chuan.

"What? You don't even recognize the people you killed?"

Qin Chuan sneered, and the black bird behind him grabbed the half-black body and threw it over, landing in front of Qin Chuan and Vanilla.

Vanilla then realized that the reason why this half of the body was completely black was because it was covered in black ink.

"This is the lower half of the innkeeper you killed. His body, along with several bottles of black ink on the counter, was pulled out of the inn entrance by the wind pressure generated when you shattered the space."

Qin Chuan looked at Vanilla and said calmly.

“You were hiding in the sub-space miasma, unable to see anything outside. So I used that ink to stain his lower body black and left it aside to see if I could lure you out on your own.”

Vanilla's face turned pale instantly—he had indeed seen the pure black lower body and subconsciously assumed it was the body of a black bird.

While she thought she had killed Qin Chuan, Qin Chuan used the "sub-void miasma" ability that the black bird had absorbed to hide in another dimension, just waiting for her to stick her neck out.

"How is it possible... to have such an ability..."

Vanilla's eyes widened as she stared intently at the black bird behind Qin Chuan, seemingly instinctively wanting to oppose the existence of this ability.

But the fact is that Qin Chuan did indeed walk out of the Black Bird's body just now. Although the Black Bird also possessed the ability of sub-vacuum miasma, its manifestation was completely different.

Unlike the sub-vacuum miasma, the black bird did not swallow Qin Chuan with its mouth. Instead, it allowed Qin Chuan's body to merge into its own, as if he had merged into its own shadow.

This scene undoubtedly demonstrates that Blackbird has indeed acquired the ability to control sub-space miasma.

He wanted to use the miasma to eliminate Qin Chuan and the black bird behind him, but with his neck being choked, he already felt his brain was lacking oxygen.

As his consciousness gradually faded, he was no longer able to control his Stand. The Void Miasma behind him only managed to raise its hand with difficulty before falling silent.

"Thank you for your hard work, Vanilla Ace. You helped me discover the true power of the Blackbird and provided me with the space to eliminate such an important force... I will remember your contribution."

Qin Chuan coldly stared at the pale-faced Vanilla Ace, whose behavior confirmed Qin Chuan's earlier thoughts—he had indeed not been turned into a vampire by Dio.

"I'll use the power you know to finish you off—BlackBird Cream!"

Blackbird stretched out its hands and grabbed Vanilla's head. The next moment, the power of spatial tremors erupted.

"You bastard!!!"

Vanilla let out a final, furious roar, already knowing his ultimate fate.

hum!

Immediately afterwards, the force of spatial annihilation acted on Vanilla, and his body vanished instantly, leaving only a few severed limbs on the ground.

If you carefully arrange these limbs, you will find that Vanilla's body was cut off by a spherical space, and his severed limbs have a smooth curve.

"Huh? Vanilla is completely dead, but his Stand hasn't completely dissipated yet?"

After completely eliminating Vanilla, Qin Chuan looked at the Void Miasma that had been behind Vanilla—this strangely shaped Stand had not yet dissipated, but was just floating there blankly.

There are many such examples in the original work. For instance, after the fat man in the fourth part died, his stand-in was able to hold on until he handed over the clues about the killer to others before finally collapsing.

"In that case... Blackbird, swallow it whole. Maybe the abilities you gain will be more complete after swallowing it clean."

Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, Qin Chuan controlled the black bird to move forward and swallowed the remaining limbs of the still-dissipating sub-space miasma into its body in one go, making Qin Chuan feel that his ability to eliminate space had become even more proficient.

"Vanilla Ace is Dio's confidante and also Dio's most troublesome subordinate... Normally, if I were to fight Dio, Vanilla's presence would inevitably increase the difficulty."

As Qin Chuan watched the black bird completely devour the sub-space miasma, he pondered.

"So, killing Vanilla now should speed up my main quest completion."
