Chap 81: The world 4
He moved to her side, using his Stand as a support, Kakoyrin's body was lowered smoothly. Unfortunately, his Stand can't heal the damaged state as in just one punch, her ribcage was fractured along some inner organs.
"The..stand pow...er-" through a bleeding mouth, Kakoyrin still tries to tell him. spilling more blood from the c9nner of her mouth.
"I understand it now, you can rest. I'll make sure to let the others know."
Only then was Kakoyrin able to calm down and lie still. He quickly went to the rooftop edge, his eyes see the scene of everyone in the Stardust crusader fighting Dio. who was having a rough time but she was able handle all four of them at once.
'Yes, this will be the end. Come on, me.' He can see the changes he made. Kakoyrin is still alive, and so are Avadol and Iggy.
Hope, this is the result of his changes. and it brought hope, not to just him. but each and everyone down there as well.
The World engages Star Plantium in an exchange of fist clashes, the two are evenly matched. Meeting punch for punch in their attacks, both were equal in physical strength and speed. Both Stands, embodying their respective user's will, they move at blinding speeds, their fists colliding with an almost deafening impact.
"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!!!" the Stand cried out as she deliver her powerfull punches.
"MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA!!" The World was sending equally strong counter punches back.
Each fury-filled punch from Star Platinum meets the same intensity of The World, creating a rapid exchange of blows that seem almost impossible for even stand user eye to follow.
The impact of their fist hitting each other sends shockwaves that make the surrounding environment tremble. The air around them distorts under the sheer energy of their clash, with shockwaves rippling outward. standing with her back to The World, Dio is fighting with the two stand users.
"Take this!!" Polnale's Silver Chariot performs multiple slashes with Dio herself parrying them using her nails that grew out to be more like claws.
Her vampiric strength was more than enough to keep up with her stand. The swipe from her claws creates sparks flying in the air.
Moving like an acrobatic, she bends her body to dodge flaming arrows shooting from Magician Red. Avadol standing just far enough from them so she won't be able to attack her. caught in their attack formation, Dio is trapped. she can't move away from the jojo and she can't target the other weaker stand user, less she let herself open up for an attack.
Despite handling them all like this, Dio is losing ground. Her confidence is slowly cracking, and a small twist of anger rises from inside her mind.
She was, no. She is definitely able to kill them. but somewhere on tge road, there is an moment where her plan fails. from that point she was on a down hill loss, she can't accept this humiliation.
'I will them all, then my plan to heaven will come to fruition.' DIO was about to hit Polnale with a claw strike when a purple vine caught her wrist, and that small window allowed the blade of Silver Chariot to pierce her head in one stroke.
Her body was frozen, a glint shining in all of them. At this let them get their spirits up, it alow for something she hate apeared. hope, it was the shining light of hope leading them to belived that she could be killed.
Her eyes turn furious, 'That's it!' A rush of anger ran through her blood, and Dio's hand grabbed the blade.
"ZA WARUDO!!"
The world stopped again, she pulled the blade out of her brain and send a punch to Polnale's gut with her hand.
The vine from Purple Hermit was easily torn away by a simple turn of her arm. She was about to bend her knees and jump to Josano and hit her, but something felt off. Again, she didn't know what was wrong, but she couldn't detect it. she didn't risk any chance and just recall The world while retreating out of their formation.
The time has resumed to this world.
Everyone glances in surprise, seeing her body suddenly disappear from sight. Polnale was flung into the air, hitting Avadol in the progress. both girl git the floor with a hard thud to the ground, cracking it.
With only two of them managed to stay calm, the two Jojo. Locking eyes with her in stoic stare.
'Them. It must be one of them.' That terrible feeling she has ever since this fight began, 'Truly, Jojo's bloodlines are the obstacle that stops me. Then i will ensure that you all shall be erased, this feeling ? It is nothing more than proof that i must destroy you all, and once i killed you all, so will this terrible feeling go away.'
*snuff*
Something flew in the air and hit the ground in front of them. A blob of slime, her eyes itched like an eyesore when she saw the words begin to morph into words.
"The ability to stop time." The letters were arranged to be seen from the Crusaders' point of view. yet it didn't stop Dio from decoding the message.
In a small amount of words, Takichi is successful in communicating to them the true power of Dio's Stand.
"I see. So that is her power." Miss jostar said, a sense of urgency in her voice.
"I understand it now. The same type of stand like Star Plantium, close range but have incredible physical strength and speed."
Seeing her power being revealed, the anger from before swelled up inside her even more. "So what, you figuring out my power won't help you in defeating me."
"That is left to be decided." Jojo said the resolve clear in her tone as she then summoned her to stand for another barrage of punches.
"Tch, you Jojo are so stubborn. Why can't you just admit your loss!"
"Za Warudo."
All around, the world remains unchanged; the chaos of battle is muted by an eerie silence in black and white.
The only thing moving is the awareness within Jojo’s mind. She can think, she can feel, but she cannot act. Everything, including her own heartbeat, is frozen, yet her thoughts race.
She can see Dio moving towards her in a stride, moving step by step. Totally unaware of the small change.

(Tojiko's pov)
"Have i met you girls before ?" The former zennin said with a bored expression. Her eyes are dull and looking like half-lidded as her eyes lack focus to even care. Their gaze wanders, looking at nothing in particular.
She was just on the way back home after doing an assassin job when on the road her car got blown up. Jumping out to the barren countryside, there isn't much around at a glance.
"We can't do that." A hoarse voice from the Volcano curse spirit, Joso. Right next to her is nature Curse spirit, Kanami
They block Tojiko's path from going any further.
That is the only thing she understands, which means. They're her enemy, and without hesitation, they started to attack.
Two balls of flame launch and miss as she jumps into the air. Vines are sent at her, but she avoids them just by stepping from the tip of her toe.
She landed gracefully at a distance far from them, surprising the two nature curse spirits.
Joso stood with flames licking at her shoulders, her volcano-like head smoldering, while Kanami’s blackened, gnarled limbs pulsed with cursed energy, vines writhing at his feet.
Across from them, Tojiko stood lazily, hands in her pockets, a grin creeping across her face. Curse tool in the form of a spear rested casually against her shoulder.
Joso sneered. “A mere human? You don’t even have cursed energy.”
Tojiko cracked her neck. “Don’t need it.”
In an instant, Toji vanished. No sound, no warning. Just raw, overwhelming speed. She reappeared right in front of Joso, already mid-thrust. The spear moves downward, aimed at the cursed spirit’s head.
Barely managed to raise her arm in defense. Sparks erupted as the blade met her hardened magma skin, slicing through the upper layer with unnatural sharpness. Joso let out a snarl as she blasted Tojiko backward with a surge of fire. The assassin twisted midair, landing effortlessly, her grin widening.
