Chapter 96 Dio

Giorno's father's name is Dio Brando, everyone calls him Dio.

This is also the only information he has about his biological father.

Whenever Giorno wanted to ask his mother about his biological father, his mother would order him to shut up in an extremely excited and secretive manner, like a possessed cult follower.

Over time, he gave up on knowing his biological father.

If it weren't for Willy's Stand ability that awakened the fear that had been buried in his subconscious for many years, Giorno would not even know that he had met his biological father when he was a baby.

In a sense, this gave him a chance to understand his father.

However…

The current situation is completely different from the scene of "father and son meeting", which is naturally warm and heartwarming.

Without knowing more, Giorno knew that his father was probably not a good person just by recalling the look that made him subconsciously fear his whole life.

And after that "Dio" appeared before him alive...

He even relied on an inexplicable sixth sense to smell a disgusting evil from the handsome man with evil temperament.

The five-pointed star birthmark on the shoulder was slightly hot.

Giorno stood cautiously with his companions, looking straight ahead with a serious expression, looking at his "long-lost father".

"Is this your dad?"

Li Qing's slightly surprised voice disturbed the dead silence:

"How come you look so young..."

"Hahaha... So, Giorno, the person you fear the most is your own father?"

"etc…"

He suddenly thought of something:

Giorno’s dad…seems like he’s a pretty incredible guy?

Although he had only watched two episodes of JOJO, Li Qing still vaguely knew about this situation.

After all, he clearly remembered that the two episodes of the animation began with a story about a man whose hair and hat grew together and sent his men to Naples to find Dio's son.

The man with the hair and hat growing together looks like the protagonist.

Giorno's father is obviously not an ordinary person, as he can make the "protagonist" so afraid of him.

"Could it be..."

Li Qing's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly:

"Giorno, your father is also a Stand user, right?"

"yes."

Giorno touched the rib that had just been broken by "Mu Da" and coughed lightly, spitting out blood foam:

"Don't look at me like that, Li Qing..."

"I don't know his Stand abilities either."

"The only thing that can be confirmed now is that the guy's Stand is very strong. Its destructive power and speed are far beyond the Golden Experience... No, it's probably several times stronger than Bucciarati's steel chain fingers."

"well?"

Just hearing this, Li Qing felt a little numb.

The punching power and speed of Steel Chain Fingers were already among the strongest he could remember.

It is several times stronger than the steel chain finger . Doesn't it mean it is even more domineering than the Crimson King he met this morning?

So...

There is no need to consider the ability of the stand. The opponent can kill me, who is weak and thin, just by attacking.

Li Qing and others were so frightened that they dared not move, and Willy, who had been frightened by the sudden change, finally reacted.

He vaguely realized that although the original piece of flesh had disappeared, his transformed stand was still overwhelmingly powerful.

No, not just powerful...

From Willy's perspective, "Dio" exudes a unique charm.

This kind of charm has nothing to do with gender and age, just like the cold wind blowing after the autumn rain, which makes people feel cold on the back and body, but also makes people feel inexplicably excited.

As he watched, Willy suddenly had the urge to worship him.

But…

That's obviously my substitute!

If he is my substitute, shouldn't he obey me?

Willy thought so in his heart, and then he mustered up his courage with difficulty and said tentatively:

"Um...my friend..."

"Shut up!"

That "Dio" actually spoke.

That deep, powerful and penetrating voice was exactly the same as the one Giorno heard in his distant memory.

"Poor, too poor!"

"Such a poor and weak being is not worthy of being my friend."

"If you really want to win, just shut up and kneel down at my feet!"

“Yes, yes!”

Willy shuddered violently.

Being insulted with disdain by his own stand-in, he was not only not angry, but also felt confused.

Before Dio's order, Willy actually gave up the dignity he had just picked up and knelt down in front of him with great humility:

"Master Dio!"

It's a wonderful feeling.

After completely prostrating himself at the man's feet, Willy felt a sense of peace.

Just as a dog serves its master and a wolf follows its king, he also found his own "salvation".

"very good."

"Leave the rest of the battle to me, Dio!"

The blond man smiled so arrogantly, then turned his dark red eyes coldly towards the front.

“Hello…”

Li Qing felt more and more uneasy: "How can this guy still talk?"

"Giorno, he wouldn't really be your dad, would he?"

"No."

"Dio" took the initiative to answer this question:

"I am not that Dio, and I have no definitive memories of that Dio."

"But I am the most realistic phantom restored from Giorno's memory."

"I have inherited Dio's strength, personality, brains, and way of thinking 100%!"

"In other words..."

"The one standing here now is also "me", Dio who has surpassed humans!"

The phantom who called himself Dio stood in the dim shadows of the alley, with his arms stretched out ostentatiously, as if he wanted to embrace the whole world in his arms.

No one dared to interrupt his declaration.

In this tense and deadly atmosphere, "Dio" broke the silence again:

"That idiot only wanted to kill Bucciarati and Fugo."

He bluntly called his original body "waste" and made a suggestion to Li Qing with a playful smile:

"You, Giorno, and the other two guys."

"As long as you hand over Bucciarati and Fugo and swear to be my subordinates, I can spare your lives."

"What a joke!"

Not even the slightest hesitation.

The moment he heard this "tempting" proposal, Li Qing immediately showed his disdain.

The mysterious and indescribable aura of "Dio" is indeed very strong, even Giorno and Bucciarati, whose wills are far stronger than ordinary people, are shocked by it.

but…

Li Qing, who positioned himself as a "gamer", never felt afraid of this:

"Hey, hey... Just because you have a 'brain', you want to make trouble?"

"It's clearly a soulless phantom, a substitute that imitates the existence of another person..."

"Since you are such a fake existence...don't imitate human behavior and put on such a poor performance!"

He straightened his back and looked at "Dio" with contempt in his eyes.

But "Dio" was not angry.

He seemed to have completely inherited the original's spirit. Even in the face of Li Qing's ridicule, he was able to maintain a calm and composed attitude:

"Really... like that?"

"Since you are so courageous...then take two steps forward!"

"Dio" looked at Li Qing playfully, as if he was looking forward to his next reaction.

Li Qing naturally would not be cowardly at this critical moment.

"Just take two steps!"

"I just don't believe it... Are you really invincible?"

While concentrating on guarding against the unknown Stand ability that the enemy might activate, he took a big step forward in a reckless manner.

However, the next moment...

It is not just the next moment in Li Qing’s consciousness, but the “next moment” in the true sense…

"Dio" suddenly smiled at him:

"Hehe...what..."

"You speak with a firm voice, but your heart is wavering?"
