Its own abilities include time stop, but it is mainly based on numerical values, with time stop as a secondary function.
Therefore, it is impossible for a "Platinum Star" to appear because the so-called butterfly effect has lost the claim of time-stopping energy 1.4.
Unless the "world" also transforms into other abilities for some unknown reason, then the corresponding "Platinum Star" will also possess other abilities.
This is the fate that Dio will inevitably meet with, at the hands of the Joestar family.
What he was worried about was that, because of his own actions, Jotaro had not had enough time to grow up and was not yet able to awaken the ability to stop time.
Now it seems I underestimated Jotaro's potential...
No.
It should be said that his bloodline greatly increased Jotaro's potential, which led him to learn time stop ahead of time.
Thinking of this, Xia Yan revealed a rather narcissistic and satisfied smile.
With the prime young Joseph Joestar, the invincible Jotaro in black, and himself, a transmigrator, he didn't know how he could possibly lose this hand.
Chapter 116 Dio, the Lonely One
"Speaking of which, Mr. Xia Yan."
Polnareff looked at the silent Jotaro, and as if remembering something, asked:
"Now that you've learned Jotaro's 'Star Platinum' ability, you should also have the ability to stop time, right?"
Upon hearing Polnareff's question, everyone else looked at Xia Yan.
Dior can stop time for five seconds, while Jotaro can move for two seconds.
If Xia Yan can move for another two seconds, then it's equivalent to Dio only being able to stop time for one second.
one second.
If we round it up, does that mean Dior doesn't actually stop time?
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation.
"No way……"
Looking at the expectant gazes of everyone, Xia Yan waved his hand helplessly.
He actually wished he could stop time, but unfortunately, even though Dio had used time stop repeatedly, he didn't notice anything unusual.
"Although I can acquire the abilities of other Stands through learning or plundering, I do not completely copy their abilities. Instead, I take the most important abilities and enhance them."
"For example, I learned the ability of the 'Green Emperor' to condense and project destructive energy, but I can't control a person's actions by entering their body like the 'Green Emperor.'"
"Justice is just an illusion, and the Emperor can only conjure various firearms; he can't control bullets."
Xia Yan said with some regret.
As he said, although it's not exactly about taking the essence and discarding the dross, "Stairway to Heaven" only focuses on strengthening the most important aspects and abandoning the less important parts.
This process is beyond his control.
Although Star Platinum and The World are Stands of the same type, they are like two sides of a blank sheet of paper.
"Platinum Star" is based on fundamental values such as strength, speed, and precision, with the ability to stop time as a secondary attribute.
The "world" is based on the concept of time stopping, and comes with powerful basic attributes.
In other words, Dio's "The World" is superior in terms of time stop, reaching nine seconds at its peak, but it cannot match Jotaro's "Star Platinum" in terms of speed and power.
Therefore, the only way to obtain the ability to stop time is through the "world".
As they were talking, the ancient and magnificent castle was reduced to ruins by the flames.
After all, whether it's Avdol's "Red Magician" or Natsuhiko's "Stairway to Heaven," the flames generated by their Stands can instantly melt steel.
Burning down a stone building is an effortless task.
It was precisely because of the sheer power of this unreasonable flame that Avdol was stripped of his title in the original story.
Otherwise, the Stardust Crusade would probably have turned into Avdol leading a mob, setting fire to Dio's homeland.
Although Xia Yan and Avdol had put away the flames of the Stand, a raging fire still burned in the ruins, preventing the group from getting close.
After all, what was taken back was only the flame released by the Stand itself, not the combustion caused by igniting other items in the process.
However, Xia Yan, who has the ability to look away with his eyes wide open, doesn't need to check it himself; a glance is enough.
"White Eye - Open!"
The blood vessels and veins around Xia Yan's eyes suddenly bulged, adding a touch of ferocity and evil to his handsome face.
The entire scene within an eight-kilometer radius instantly came into view. The ruins before him became illusory and transparent, revealing everything that had been concealing them.
Beneath the ruins, a transparent sphere, seemingly capable of swallowing everything, was moving outwards at a relatively slow pace.
It is Vanilla Ace's Stand, "Subspace Miasma"!
As one of the few space-type Stands in the JOJO series, "Subspace Miasma" can be considered the strongest Stand in terms of destructive power alone.
The only comparable one is Da Congming Yitai's "Bombing Space".
The mouth of "Void Miasma" leads to an entrance to a void space. Anything that passes through this entrance will disintegrate into nothingness, with the sole exception being Vanilla Ace himself, who can use this space for defensive purposes.
"Sub-Void Miasma" can become a moving sphere by consuming itself, passing through any object or person it passes by.
Wherever it goes, it leaves behind holes that resemble scooping out ice cream.
When it enters a spherical state, the "sub-vapor miasma" is essentially indestructible and almost undetectable because it exists in another dimension that is generally invisible and inaudible to humans.
The only way to determine the other party's current location is by observing the environment.
The only weakness is that once you enter the void, you will not be able to see the outside environment.
Therefore, Vanilla Ace needs to leave the void from time to time to confirm the enemy's location, or move in a fixed trajectory when attacking.
Previously, this guy had hidden inside his own clone's stomach, using his invincible devouring ability to escape the flames.
"Iggy! Yangsha! Kakyoin, the Emperor's Barrier!"
Upon seeing the "sub-space miasma" again, Xia Yan spoke to Ichi and Kakyoin beside him.
Having anticipated this situation, Iggy did not hesitate at all, and the "Fool," like 843 and the robot dog, appeared behind him.
Within a 20-meter radius, a barrier composed of the tentacles of the "Green Emperor" also existed.
A thin layer of fine sand floated in the air.
Xia Yan and his group brought goggles in advance to avoid getting sand in their eyes.
Without a sound, a sphere that seemed capable of devouring everything and disintegrating it into nothingness flew out from the ruins.
The ruins left behind smooth cuts, like corks being pulled out.
With his Byakugan activated, Natsuhiko and Jotaro simultaneously discovered his location, followed closely by Kakyoin, who sensed the destruction of the Emperor's barrier tentacles.
Following the clues from the three, the remaining three people and the dog also discovered Vanilla Ace, who had left a trail in the fine sand.
They quietly surrounded it, moving at the same speed while maintaining a relatively stationary distance.
When Vanilla Ace poked his head out of the mouth of the "sub-vapor" to observe his surroundings, he found six burly men and a dog giving him bright and cheerful smiles.
Vanilla Ace: "???"
At 3:40 PM, "Sub-Void Miasma" Vanilla Ace—
death.
Chapter 117 On Dior's Major Disadvantages
"So that's how it was. They escaped by digging tunnels through the city's sewers..."
Looking at the newly formed passage beneath the ruins, Xia Yan's tone was filled with inexplicable emotion.
Incredibly, they managed to dig out a tunnel more than six meters deep and several tens of meters long in just a few minutes, deep enough for an adult to crawl through.
As expected of Dior, he easily accomplished what most people cannot.
If you went to drill a well, you could earn a lot of money in a day.
"He's hiding in the sewers and moving around. I can still see his location. Should I chase after him?"
Xia Yan looked at Joseph beside him.
"No, ignore him," Joseph said confidently. "There's still over an hour until the sun completely sets. He'll come looking for us after dark!"
"Given Dio's personality, he certainly won't let us, who pose a threat, live past tonight."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep peacefully anymore!"
"So the most important thing for us right now is to do one thing!"
Joseph held up one finger, looking at the others with a serious expression, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat tense.
"That is……"
"Yes, what is it?"
The most impatient of them all, Polnareff, swallowed hard and asked with some confusion.
The others were also startled by his serious demeanor. After all, ever since Joseph Joestar became younger, he had always maintained that frivolous and irreverent attitude, and rarely had he been so serious.
Even Xia Yan began to wonder if there really was some oversight.
"Yes, that is..."
Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him, Joseph nodded in satisfaction.
"That means we're going to eat."
"..."
The air fell silent for a moment.
"Hey! Just kidding..."
"What's wrong? Why do you look like this?"
"Eating is a very important thing! It's so late, and I'm starving. Aren't you guys hungry?"
