"Oops!"
Sensing the contract being broken, cold sweat trickled down Rohan's forehead.
He really didn't expect DIO to be so fast.
Moreover, if amber is lost, their previously discussed Plan A will almost completely collapse.
"Be careful! It's hard to react to his movements!"
Josuke watched DIO warily, while also having Sakuya dispel her time clone.
"Wow!"
The world had already appeared beside Josuke, but the swinging fist was swiftly dodged by the opponent.
"Wow, you knew about the World Beyond Heaven's actions without even looking back?"
Somewhat surprised, DIO watched Josuke's figure disappear from the spot, glanced at the others who had spread out and spoke.
The time acceleration was all used in that process, meaning that as long as DIO's location is known, you can move to a place where he doesn't exist.
As long as something can be detected, there is a possibility of evasion.
But the key question is how to capture the positions of DIO and the "world".
Therefore, DIO was quite surprised that Josuke dodged that attack.
After absorbing the amber, he withdrew "The World" so that he could launch a surprise attack from behind Josuke Higashikata. He was certain that there was no vision behind Josuke Higashikata, so it should have been an excellent opportunity for an attack.
But the other party still avoided it. This aroused DIO's suspicion.
(This was a huge help.)
Wiping his sweat and thanking her, Josuke dared not imagine what would have happened if he had hesitated even slightly just now.
If someone hadn't warned him that "the world" was behind him, he would have been finished.
"I don't know exactly what you did!"
"But without Assassin's assistance, they have lost their biggest asset."
With his hands outstretched, DIO burst into laughter, a smile spreading across his face.
Upon hearing DIO's words, Rohan, Josuke, and Subaru all tensed up.
"The World!"
"!"
"?"
"!!"
Sure enough, the surrounding environment changed the next moment, and the world that was originally full of color fell into darkness.
Time stops!
Moreover, these are different types of items that Sakuya can't get rid of!
"Wow, so you really are the most peculiar Master."
"Humans can move within stopped time without the aid of substitutes or external forces."
DIO turned to look at Subaru Natsuki and said in a calm tone.
"Hey"
Under such gaze, Subaru Natsuki felt an immense pressure.
This guy really is just as described.
There's an indescribable sinister charm about him; just looking at him gives you a natural sense of being suppressed.
This was perhaps the most dangerous time of his life.
"Then let's start with you!"
"Let me bury you myself!"
DIO looked at Subaru Natsuki and rushed over, his outstretched hand seemingly about to grab the other's neck.
"Wow!"
"Pfft!"
But as Subaru Natsuki looked on in alarm, his vision suddenly shifted, and DIO's wrist was scratched.
Sakuya grabbed him by the collar and pulled him away, the small knife in her hand stained with bright red blood.
"Caster, do you choose to abandon your Master?"
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Seeing that he was being hindered, DIO gently touched his wound to heal it, and then said coldly.
The world raised its hand and touched Josuke directly.
Sakuya immediately released Natsuki Subaru and attempted to "teleport to save him" again.
"call out!"
DIO reached out and touched nothing again. He looked at the world and realized that although he had failed to get what he wanted, he had noticed something was wrong.
"As expected, your so-called time clone can only be used within the normal flow of time."
"If time is stopped first, then it won't be usable, right?"
"Um"
Seeing Sakuya personally save the person, DIO revealed the secret.
"."
There was no intention to answer, but Sakuya was also finding it difficult to deal with DIO at this moment.
It's simply impossible to engage in close combat with this person.
Once touched, it will lead to an extremely dangerous situation.
In an environment where time stands still, the thrown knives pose no threat to DIO, much like toys.
They lack effective means of countering the enemy.
"It's just a death throes."
Looking at Sakuya's expression, DIO knew what she was thinking.
Even at this moment, they still try to resist themselves; one can only say that this stubborn spirit is very similar to that of the Joestar clan.
That's something DIO really hates.
Because of his connection with the Joestar family, DIO is constantly torn between fate and destiny.
Even now, encountering such a person on the path to breaking through the dead end of fate is truly unpleasant for DIO.
"The final blow!"
"I will not give you any room to struggle anymore!"
Sakuya's attitude provoked DIO's dissatisfaction, and he made a declaration to the people present.
"The ability to accelerate time"
"There is no way to stop me, DIO!"
Before he could finish speaking, Sakuya had already dragged the person away and disappeared.
"Hmph, it's no use no matter where you run to!"
DIO glanced at the vanished Josuke and Subaru, then grabbed Rohan and Koichi beside him, absorbed their souls, and said coldly.
……
"That was close, I almost thought we were doomed."
Natsuki Subaru patted his chest, still shaken, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although we know this is just a temporary measure, at least we don't have to face DIO head-on.
"The problem is serious now. Assassin is dead, the Master can't move, and if you two are taken along, you'll be caught sooner or later no matter how hard you try to escape."
Sakuya glanced at Subaru Natsuki and made a definitive statement.
"An event?"
"There might be a way."
"But whether we can hold out until then is another matter."
Sakuya was taken aback upon hearing Subaru Natsuki's words.
"Actually, it's like this."
After briefly explaining the situation, DIO appeared behind them in less than a few seconds.
"!"
