Chapter 98: Time Stops
"Ahhh
"What the hell just happened!"
Fogg tugged at his hair tightly, as if he were pulling weeds from his yard:
"I can't beat it..."
"An enemy of this level is simply invincible!"
His old fear of death has come again.
But Li Qing didn't have the heart to use the muzzle of the gun to help Fu Ge correct his mistakes, because he himself was a little panicked.
It's not that I'm afraid, it's the kind of despair that I have studied hard for three years and walked into the college entrance examination room, only to find that I can't do a few math problems in a row.
At this time, he no longer dared to regard the "Dio" in front of him as an inferior fake.
And actually...
The "Dio" in front of me is infinitely close to the real thing.
Willy's stand-in ability can restore the source of the target's fear with close to 100% restoration-
The subject's memory is only a "hyperlink" through which his avatar will jump directly to the Buddha-figure that really existed on Earth.
Bugarati had actually only seen the lumps of meat that were re-aired by the Melancholy Blues, but Willy's stand-in still copied the original that really daunted him.
Giorno only has a glimpse of Dio, but the "Dio" restored by the stand-in is also a "Dio" that is not much different from the deity.
In a nutshell...
It's actually a copy of the file that Willy's stand-in copied and pasted from the system records of "Earth OL".
But there can be no two people in the world who are exactly the same, and the core thing that holds one person together is memory.
Therefore, even if this "copy file" can even restore the stand-in power formed by the spiritual power, it will not be able to keep the memory of the deity archived.
However, this is also enough.
The phantom in front of him is still overwhelmingly powerful.
Facing such a powerful opponent, Li Qing was so nervous that he almost suffocated.
"No... Calm down..."
"Think back to what you just felt, and think of everything you can analyze!"
Li Qing unconsciously pinched his palms with his fingernails, and before he knew it, he began to lose blood.
He struggled to remember what had just happened.
As a blind man, he actually has a unique ability to perceive and analyze.
For example, the Crimson King, who seemed to be difficult to detect, as long as he concentrated and listened, Li Qing didn't even need to look at his watch, and he could find out that the other party had used the ability to cut time at the first time.
Because, after a few seconds, the surrounding "sound environment" is completely different.
Airflow, heartbeat, footsteps, breathing...
As long as the other party made a move, Li Qing could hear the subtle sound of the turbulence of the air current.
And now...
"The environment of the sound has not changed at all."
"The sound of the wind in the air and in the distance is exactly the same as the previous moment, indicating that time is not beating."
"But..."
Li Qing frowned tightly, recalling the feeling just now:
"The moment the other party activated the ability and Naranga appeared on the other side out of thin air..."
"The air flow on the ground has been gently disturbed!"
The geese have left traces, and the wind has left a sound.
When a person moves, the air is expelled, and the air that is squeezed away stirs up the surrounding air currents, creating a breeze that is difficult to detect.
By capturing subtle changes in airflow, Li Qing can even reproduce the trajectory of the other party's travel.
"This turbulence..."
"That Dio, he did just come over!"
"His stand-in ability is not spatial manipulation, nor is it teleportation, otherwise it would not have been possible to have such a noticeable turbulence of airflow."
"But..."
Li Qing racked his brains to meditate, and couldn't help but muttered to himself:
"If you want to move, it will definitely take time."
"However, the turbulence just now happened in a split second."
"I've moved, but I barely spend time... Don't?! ”
His eyes lit up.
"Dio" also heard his whispered voice, and his expression couldn't help but become sharp:
"I've already caught the key."
"This bald man has incredible perceptiveness..."
At this time, combined with the broad insight of reading various superpower-themed works in his previous life, Li Qing boldly speculated on the enemy's stand-in ability:
"Could it be... Is your stand-in ability...'Speed Force'?! ”
"Huh??" Everyone was slightly stunned.
Hearing Li Qing's conclusion, Fu Ge immediately exaggeratedly hugged his head and shouted:
"Speed Force... The Flash... The Flash? ”
"That's a comic book character who runs 300,000 times faster than light... There is really such a stand-in, we are still fighting ghosts! ”
"Calm down!"
Bugarati suppressed the throbbing in his heart and comforted his panicked companion:
"How can you have that powerful ability in the comics!"
"If he really has the ability of the Flash, why didn't he just kill us all in one go?"
"But..."
"Li Qing, your thoughts have reminded me."
He stared intently at "Dio" not far away, and said his thoughts word by word:
"I've moved on the ground, but I barely spend time..."
"To achieve this, in addition to the speed force in the comics, it also reminds me of an invincible stand-in ability that really exists in the world."
"Invincible stand-in ability?"
Everyone was a little curious.
Including the "Dio" who has no memory of the deity and knows nothing about this world.
"That's right."
Bugarati said with a serious expression:
"From a long time ago, there has been a legend among stand-in messengers all over the world."
"There is a man in the world named Jotaro Kujo, and his stand-in ability is - "Time Stands Still"!"
The abilities of the stand-in messenger are largely kept in absolute secrecy.
However, I don't know why, Jotaro Kujo's stand-in ability is known to everyone.
The whole world knows Jotaro's stand-in ability, and as the well-informed leader of the Passion organization, Bugarati has naturally heard about it.
Now when he heard the ability characteristics analyzed by Li Qing, he immediately couldn't help but think of that legendary invincible ability.
"Time stands still?"
When Bugarati said this, Li Qing couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "Isn't that with..."
He immediately couldn't help but think of a certain island animation he had watched...
That's right...
That's...
Doraemon!
Doraemon has a powerful prop called the "Time Pauser" in his prop bag, which is used by Nobita to tease the wild dogs on the side of the road and scribble graffiti on the face of the fat tiger...
"I see..."
"It's the time pauser in Doraemon!"
As soon as Li Qing explained this, the ability of "time to stand still" immediately became vivid.
The post-80s Giorno and his entourage have seen this classic work, and as long as the time pauser is mentioned, everyone will naturally have a picture in their minds.
"Oh?"
Seeing that his stand-in ability was cracked in a few words, "Dio" was slightly surprised.
But more curiosity:
"Jotaro Kujo..."
"Is there anyone in the world who has the same type of double as my Dio?"
"Good... Very good..."
He muttered the unfamiliar name, and then laughed haughtily:
"After I recruit my subordinates, develop my power, and become the king, I must go and meet this guy!"
The atmosphere is somewhat subtle.
Obviously just a stand-in, he has his own ambitions.
As the de facto ontology, Willy willingly knelt behind "Dio", unable to show the spirit of a "master" at all.
This made everyone present feel weird.
"Hey, hey..."Li Qing strengthened his conviction and interrupted his fanatical speech: "Don't treat us as if we don't exist!" Now that your abilities have been cracked by us, the next step..."
"What if it's cracked?"
"Dio" smiled dismissively.
He glanced at Li Qing coldly with his dark red deep eyes, and his smile was indifferent and playful:
"If you think you can really stop me, give it a try."
"I'll tell you plainly..."
"Dio" reached out and pointed straight at Apaki, who had just manipulated the melancholy blues rampage:
"He'll be the next one to fall!"
As soon as he finished speaking, "Dio"'s form sprinted out like an arrow from a string.
His speed was fast, so fast that it was unimaginable that this was the speed at which a human could burst out.
But that's just the way it is.
"Dio" sped through the shadows of the alley, as muscular as a cheetah.
The golden strands of hair swept through the air, leaving behind a brilliant phantom like lightning.
"How is that possible..."
"It's just a stand-in, how can the speed of the body be so fast?!"
Everyone is stunned, but "Dio" has already rushed out of the shadows with his stand-in "World".
However, in just one breath, he cut through the formation of the crowd and rushed straight towards Apaji, who was at the back of the line.
"This?" Apaji was able to do something.
But the wounds he had suffered from the flesh bite were devastating, making him even more panicked in the face of "Dio's" horrific murderous intent.
Between the lightning and flint, Apaki couldn't think of any way to stop the man.
Luckily, he also has a reliable group of companions:
"Golden Experience!"
Giorno made a quick decision and blessed Apaki with a golden experience.
"Chainfingers!"
Bugarati's steel chain fingers then moved, and he punched a blue phantom.
"Skysound!"
Li Qing predicted the enemy's position and sent the Sky Sound Wave to the empty space in front of Apaki in advance.
Directly attack Willy's body, and the other party will definitely teleport back directly.
Anticipating the attack on "Dio", there may be a glimmer of opportunity.
"Ahhh
Fogg was so frightened by the inexplicable aura of "Dio" that he didn't do anything.
But even then, the defense they formed was strong enough.
However, in the face of Li Qing and his party, who were united to protect their companions, there was only contempt on the face of "Dio":
"No Camel No Horse!"
"Such a weak force can't stop me at all!"
Without hesitation, he rushed forward head-on.
The golden warrior accompanies him, and the god of time bows down to him:
“The World!”
