Chapter 100: Life in Exchange for Time
Only after the fists actually made contact did Li Qing intuitively and shockingly feel the extraordinary power hidden in that body.
The muscles that were tougher than steel were twisted together like a high-powered car engine, providing Dio's fist with power far beyond the limits of human beings.
boom!
"Dio" threw a simple straight punch, but it created a blurry and brilliant phantom.
Li Qing had no time to dodge and could only symbolically protect his chest with his hands.
He was like a fly that was slapped in the face, flying backwards without any resistance.
"Dio" subconsciously wanted to chase and throw a few more punches in the air, but it seemed that he was not interested in the "weak" Li Qing, and the fist he stretched out quickly stopped after being sent out and retracted freely.
Li Qing flew straight out for several meters, finally measuring the width of the alley with his body, and was miserably embedded in the opposite wall.
“This guy…”
"It's not even a human!!"
Fugo began to roar in panic again.
The momentum and strength displayed by "Dio" were like the continuous tides, impacting his fragile heart again and again.
He couldn't even help but cast his gaze towards Giorno.
The look in his eyes was filled with shock, confusion, fear, and an unresolved resentment, as if he was silently asking:
"Curly Head, how come you have such a monster dad?"
“…”
Facing Fugo's extremely rude look, Giorno could only respond helplessly:
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not some little monster."
"As for my father..."
He habitually remained calm on the surface, but in fact, a huge wave of emotions had already been brewing in his heart.
Giorno could never imagine that he would have such an evil, mysterious, terrifying, powerful, inhuman monster father.
He also couldn't imagine how his vulgar mother, who had no advantages except her face, could find such a terrible father for him.
Faced with such a powerful being, even he could not help but feel despair:
"Powerful Stand, unstoppable abilities, non-human body..."
"It's impossible to defeat him in a head-on fight."
"Then the only way out is..."
Giorno turned and looked at Willy over there:
He had been trained to be very obedient by "Dio" and was now hiding in the shadows in the distance, watching the battle here with a fanatical look on his face.
Obviously Willy is the master, but he acts more like a well-behaved dog in front of his stand-in.
"We can only think of a way to attack Willy."
"But...how can it be that easy?"
Giorno pursed his lips tightly:
The reason he was able to touch Willy's body before was because he used "time" -
Willy didn't have time to teleport his Stand back, and was caught off guard by Giorno.
And now…
What the other party lacks the least is "time".
With time stopped and teleportation added, it was extremely difficult to bypass "Dio" and attack Willy.
Giorno and the others were trapped in despair and unable to move.
Narancia and Abbazi, who had been seriously injured earlier, also collapsed to the ground covered in blood, dying.
If the battle drags on like this, they may die at any time.
The balance of victory completely tilted towards "Dio".
He was like a diner tasting bread. After swallowing the food, he immediately turned his oppressive gaze to the next snack he needed to taste:
This time, he chose Fugo:
"The next one to fall will be you!"
This sentence is sonorous and powerful, and every word is as strong as a mountain. It doesn't sound like a battle declaration, but more like a prophecy of the future.
"ha??"
Fugo almost fell to the ground with a shudder.
"Why, why me?" He said with tears in his eyes, "Just now I... I didn't do anything at all!"
"But you didn't surrender to me, did you?"
"Dio" looked at Fugo with a hint of displeasure in his voice:
"Besides, you are too weak."
"It really annoys me to be told that I 'look like' this kind of bastard!"
“That’s the reason…” Fugo stepped back tremblingly: “They look alike… You can’t blame me!”
You can't blame him for being timid, it's just that Giorno's father is too scary.
But Fugo's submissive behavior did not arouse the enemy's sympathy, and "Dio"'s murderous intention was still firmly locked on him.
Finally, his agile figure soared up again.
"Fugo!"
Giorno and Bucciarati wanted to go forward to help, but they were too late to stop the swift figure of "Dio".
"ah!!"
Fuge shouted in panic and subconsciously summoned his stand-in Zi Yan.
Although he was scared, he did not lose his mind.
The imminent crisis made Fugo make the wisest decision at this critical moment:
"Zi Yan, release the virus around me!"
The virus capsule on Zi Yan's fist burst instantly.
A thick purple mist drifted out, covering Fugo's entire body.
He still has active viral antibodies in his body, so nothing will happen if he comes into direct contact with Zi Yan's virus.
And Fugo was still standing in the shadow of the alley.
The purple poisonous fog that was not exposed to direct sunlight spread out for four or five meters before it stopped, and soon created a death zone around Fugo that no living person could approach.
"What?"
The poisonous mist was almost about to hit "Dio" head-on in the face.
His forward sprinting figure suddenly stopped:
“The World!”
Time paused and the poisonous fog stopped spreading.
Bucciarati and Giorno rushed
"Dio" also relied on his extraordinary physique to narrowly stop outside the poison circle.
The first second.
He carefully observed the purple smoke in front of him and quickly made a judgment:
"It should be a very strong poison gas, right?"
"Although my body has surpassed that of humans, it is best not to touch these strange things."
Second second.
"Dio" briefly observed the environment and then turned and left.
Third second.
"Dio" sprinted forward and came to the car that Li Qing and others parked in the alley.
Fourth second.
"Dio" carried the car.
Fifth second.
"Dio" ran back carrying the car.
Then, the time stop ended and time resumed flowing.
Fugo, who had no idea that time had been stopped, was still thinking:
"With Zi Yan's poisonous mist here, that monster probably won't dare to take it..."
"ah!!"
Fugo screamed out again as if a pig was being slaughtered.
Because he suddenly discovered that at some point... a car had fallen on his head!
"Eat Me Car Attack!"
"Dio" and his stand "The World" stepped on the car together, applying pressure downward from mid-air.
The thick and huge car thus became a perfect shield against poison, and also a powerful killing weapon:
"Wood big wood big wood big wood big!"
"Wood big wood big wood big wood big!"
In mid-air, "Dio" and "The World" punched the roof of the car from top to bottom together.
The car, which had endured the endless heavy blows, immediately turned into a giant hammer and crushed Fugo below heavily.
Fugo was completely panicked. He was afraid of death.
And this fear of death has now become the direct motivation for him to fight back:
“Aaaaaaah!”
"Don't come near me!!"
Fugo made the most cowardly sound, but performed the most courageous operation.
Amidst the panicked roar, Zi Yan punched from bottom to top, creating a phantom image directly at the overwhelming car:
“Roar, roar, roar, roar!”
Amid the sky filled with fist shadows, Zi Yan let out an extremely manic roar.
After all, it is a powerful Stand with panel strength A, and its punching power should not be underestimated.
Now aroused by Fugo's strong desire to survive, Zi Yan actually burst out with strength and speed far beyond her usual, barely holding up the car pressing down on her head.
"oh?"
"You actually have the strength to fight back head-on?"
"Hahaha...then I'll show you some of my real skills!"
With arrogant laughter, "Dio" and "The World" increased their strength at the same time.
The car suddenly pressed down a lot.
Zi Yan immediately showed signs of defeat and could not hold on any longer.
"Fugo!"
Giorno and Bucciarati rushed forward anxiously.
Although they had not yet thought of a way to deal with the invincible man, they could not just stand by and watch as Fugo was about to be crushed under the car.
But at this time...
Li Qing suddenly grabbed them from behind:
"Don't rush in."
"I have an idea and I would like to ask for your help."
"Do you have a solution?"
Giorno and Bucciarati stopped at the same time, but couldn't help but worry about Fugo: "But... Fugo..."
“Don’t be impulsive.”
"If we rush in rashly, the result will only be worse."
Li Qing listened to Fugo's shrill wail with some embarrassment, then said seriously:
"This is the time Fugo bought with his life."
"Everyone must seize this only opportunity and not let Fugo's sacrifice be in vain."
