Chapter 325 Invincible Ability
Diablo's attack came from a direction no one expected.
Everyone present focused their attention on Diablo. They didn't expect that the real threat had been lurking under their feet in the unpredictable past.
Huge energy like a tsunami was suddenly released from the concrete-covered road surface.
The invisible shock wave of the explosion shattered the surface that had not yet solidified into powder in an instant, and swept in all directions at a speed far exceeding the speed of sound.
The speed of the shock wave was so fast and the explosion came so suddenly.
No one could react in time to this crisis without warning, including Lee Sin, who was no longer a human, and the invincible Star Platinum.
When Li Qing noticed the explosion under his feet, the terrible supersonic shock wave had already risen from the ground into the sky.
The shock and horror had just surged up in his heart when this violent shock swept through his body like a whirlwind.
The strong vibrations caused the flesh and blood to be stretched, squeezed, and sheared in the earthquake, completely deforming and twisting.
What followed was the high-pressure air wave and scorching flames produced by the explosion.
The heat wave rose into the sky like a volcanic eruption, instantly submerging Li Qing and others who were stepping into the trap in endless light and heat.
With the protection of data, Li Qing will not be in any danger.
But his companions were different.
In order to block Diablo, the five of them all stood on the wide road where the cement had not yet dried.
When the calm road surface suddenly turned into an erupting volcano, not only Lee Sin, but also Jotaro, Giorno, Josuke Higashikata and Polnareff were all unable to escape.
Especially Jotaro.
He was standing almost at the center of the explosion.
The ability to stop time still has a cooldown period of just a few tenths of a second, and even the invincible Star Platinum cannot change the situation.
Jotaro's flesh was torn into pieces in the explosion, and his skin melted and fell off under the scorching heat of the flames.
The sturdy body that seemed to have never fallen down became shaky at this moment.
The strong wind and heat waves of the explosion quietly dissipated, and he collapsed in the smoke and embers.
"Mr. Jotaro..."
Everything happened too suddenly.
Li Qing was frozen as if he was petrified:
Perhaps thanks to his strong body that can defeat others even at the age of 70, Jotaro is still alive, with a weak heartbeat and breathing.
But he had completely lost consciousness, and even the invincible platinum star disappeared into thin air.
Li Qing temporarily lost his most powerful companion.
And his trusted friend:
"Girono! Polnareff!"
Giorno was lucky. Like Polnareff, he was standing in a relatively marginal position, so the impact of the explosion was much smaller than that of Jotaro.
But even so, the terrible explosion was enough to completely destroy Giorno and Polnareff's bodies.
At this moment, they were lying powerlessly on the messy and broken road surface, with black and red burns all over their bodies. The light in their eyes was almost gone, and their breathing was as heavy as an old leaky bellows.
Giorno and Polnareff are now like two candles with dim flames, which may go out with just a slight breeze.
The luckiest person should be Josuke Higashikata.
He was originally stationed alone at the outermost edge of the encirclement, standing on the outskirts of the "minefield", and when the explosion occurred he was simply hit head-on by the oncoming shock wave.
But even so, it was enough to cause serious injuries to Josuke, who was just a flesh and blood body.
His entire body was now charred black, and dark red blood was constantly oozing out of the corners of his mouth.
Although they could still stand and remain conscious, both Josuke and Crazy Diamond beside him looked so fragile and fragile at this moment.
Josuke tried hard to cheer himself up and save his seriously injured and dying companion not far away, but now he found it difficult to even take a step.
The only thing he can do is stay awake and maintain Crazy Diamond's existence.
When Giorno has no strength to fight anymore, Josuke's Crazy Diamond is the last hope to save his life.
A moment, just a brief moment.
Li Qing's side, which once had the advantage, was forced into this almost desperate situation.
"Diabolo!"
Li Qing clenched his fists tightly, anger surging from his heart like a tide.
With boundless anger, he searched for Diablo in the scorching wind that had not yet dissipated.
At this moment, he was shocked to find:
Not only was Diablo not hurt at all by the explosion, but he was also completely turned into nothingness in the flames of the explosion.
He performed a strange trick of "disappearing out of thin air" and "returning instantly".
But, unlike last time...
The last time Diablo disappeared and returned, he was inexplicably covered with serious injuries.
And this time, when Diablo reappeared in Li Qing's perception... all the injuries on his body disappeared "instantly".
His body was healthy and full, and there was no sign of the miserable appearance of dying and paralyzed man a second ago.
"how so…"
"What on earth did you do?!"
Li Qing was shocked and angry and shouted subconsciously:
In the blink of an eye, almost all of his companions were wiped out, but the opponent's injuries healed out of thin air?
"hehe."
Diablo smiled lightly and did not answer:
The injuries on his body were able to disappear in an instant because he slowly discovered the true use of [Ouroboros].
This time, he not only went to April 4th to set today's trap.
Because the cooldown time of [Ouroboros] is only ten minutes, and each time he crosses, he can be active at that time anchor point for a full hour.
So, Diablo tried and found out:
After returning to the past, he only needs to wait 10 minutes before he can use his ability to return to the "past of the past" again.
As long as you repeatedly lock the time anchor point and travel forward, each time you travel can provide 1 hour of activity time, which adds up to an extremely ample time.
During that long journey, Diablo had enough time and opportunity to seek medical treatment and heal his broken body.
"I am not as fragile as I used to be..."
"As long as I am not fatally hit, I can recover in 1 second even if I am injured."
Diablo thought with confidence.
Of course, he would not tell Li Qing such a secret on his own initiative.
He completely ignored Li Qing's anger and shock, and glanced at the surroundings with a relaxed look:
"Three down, one seriously injured."
"The so-called invincible Jotaro Kujo has now fallen down helplessly like this."
“Hahahaha…Li Qing.”
Diablo's mouth curled up into a smile:
"How about it, are you satisfied with the surprise I prepared?"
"you!!"
Li Qing's anger burned fiercely.
He suddenly stepped heavily on the ground, creating a dent, and then shot out like a phantom.
Powerful and vast force gathered in his iron fist, turning his arm into an unstoppable cannonball and an indestructible spear.
The fist wind was fierce and swept over.
But the fierce fist wind suddenly stopped in front of Diablo.
The fist that was powerful enough to punch through steel was blocked. What blocked him was a knotted arm covered with evil red and white patterns.
"The Crimson King?"
"How is it possible... How can it have such power that can rival mine?!"
Li Qing's expression became extremely gloomy.
"Oh, do you think I'm still the stray dog that you've cornered me with?"
"Idiot... My Crimson King has already evolved to another level!"
Diablo smiled with great satisfaction.
This dark emperor, who has always been in a high position and invincible, is experiencing the pleasure of a comeback for the first time.
"You can't stop me now, Li Qing!"
Diablo shouted loudly, and the Crimson King immediately blasted out a fist shadow that covered the sky.
The punch was powerful and fierce, and the speed and strength it displayed were no less than Li Qing's.
Moreover, it seemed to be a way to vent the frustration of hiding and running away in the past few days.
Diablo unexpectedly changed his past style of sneak attacks from behind and instead, like a real strong man, he controlled the Crimson King and Lee Sin to engage in a head-on hand-to-hand combat.
The Crimson King's fists were like endless waves in a long river, each wave more powerful than the last.
"Damn it... I've become stronger, so what..."
"I will definitely kill you, this is my promise!"
Li Qing also burst out with his greatest strength at this moment.
The power of the Crimson King was indeed unexpected, but he could not retreat now, he had to win.
Only by defeating the Crimson King and Diablo can he save his best friend and companion who is about to die from his serious injuries.
"Ah, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit!"
"Ah, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit!"
The two storms collided violently on the ruined avenue.
Fist against fist, force against force, this most primitive violent collision happened hundreds or thousands of times in just a few seconds.
The terrifying impact force even spread from the fist bone to the arm, shoulder, and even the internal organs .
Even though the Crimson King's fist was blocked, the reaction force was still causing Li Qing's health to slowly decrease.
But Li Qing was not afraid.
He knew that he was only losing blood, while Diablo would have to pay a huge mental expenditure for the highest level of power collision.
And the fact is just as Li Qing expected...
After an extremely intense physical collision, he could clearly feel that the power of the Crimson King had weakened slightly.
This is a sign that Diablo's mental strength is being drastically depleted.
Li Qing knew that if this kind of primitive and violent fist-to-fist clash continued, he would be the winner in the end.
But just when he thought Diablo would lose this head-on fight...
Diablo silently said in his heart:
"The Crimson King's third ability—"
"Ouroboros!"
At this moment, the bodies of Diablo and the Crimson King became ethereal and transparent.
Li Qing's fist seemed to hit the air, and it went through without any effect.
Everything happens exactly as before:
Diablo's body went from solid to intangible in just 1 second after the ability was activated, and finally disappeared completely.
And in just the next moment, he appeared in front of Li Qing again.
Diablo seemed no different from before he disappeared.
But Li Qing could sense from the slightest changes in his body...
Diablo's breathing, which had become slightly disordered in the head-on collision, now became as steady and powerful as before the fight.
"Keep going, Crimson King!"
There was unabashed confidence in his voice.
The Crimson King, who had disappeared and returned, punched again at this moment, pouring out his terrifying and devastating force at Li Qing.
"how so…"
"It only disappeared for a moment."
"That guy's strength and speed have completely recovered to their peak state!"
Li Qing continued to fight fiercely with the Crimson King without showing any disadvantage.
But the evenly matched situation was only an appearance. Li Qing was already feeling a little panicked:
His health was slowly decreasing during the collision.
But the opponent can use that incomprehensible ability to refresh the status, "full health and magic with one click".
"The worst thing is... the abilities like 'disappearing out of thin air' and 'recovering in one second' are like they have no cooldown at all."
"If the stalemate continues like this, I will be exhausted to death by the Crimson King!"
Li Qing's strength has always been close combat.
But now, the Crimson King used his extraordinary "recovery ability" to defeat him in the field he was best at.
"what do I do…"
Thinking of this, Li Qing couldn't help but feel desperate even though he had a strong mind:
"This ability... is simply invincible!"
