Diablo and Kira Yoshikage felt despair at the same time.

They also realized that even if Kishibe Rohan's unexpected episode did not work, the final result would be the same:

They will die, die at the hands of Li Qing's side who have absolute combat power advantage.

“Damn it…”

Diablo's mentality was somewhat broken:

"Kira Yoshikage, what on earth did you do?"

"You are the one who lured Li Qing here?!"

First he was hit by Rohan Kishibe's full set of tricks, and then he encountered the magical soldiers from Li Qing and others who descended from the sky. Diablo had to suspect that this was a trap set for him.

"Do you think I sold you out?"

Kirara Yoshikage replied with a gloomy expression:

"Didn't you see? I was almost killed by Li Qing just now!"

"I don't know how they found out, but..."

"Wake up! Now is not the time to start a quarrel!"

“…”

Diablo said nothing more.

He knew that what Kira Yoshikage said was right.

According to the personalities of Li Qing and others, they would never get together with a murderer.

It was probably because the rookie Kira Yoshikage was careless and failed to properly handle his own traces, allowing Melancholy Blues to seize the opportunity.

It is meaningless to pursue these issues now.

With a powerful enemy ahead, the two of them must work together if they want to survive this desperate situation.

"The Crimson King—Epitaph!"

The threat posed by Li Qing and others was too great. He knew that if he took a wrong step next, he would be defeated and killed miserably.

Therefore, Diablo did not hesitate to use his best predictive ability, hoping to get ways to deal with the enemy by peeking into the future.

But the future he saw made him even more desperate:

In the first second, Li Qing took the lead and charged forward.

His speed was so fast that Diablo couldn't escape at all.

In the second, Li Qing was the first to rush to the front of the Crimson King.

His health is only about 60%, and Scarlet King is also a powerful melee stand. It seems that Scarlet King still has hope of winning.

However, when the two sides really fight...

The powerful and evil Crimson King was now like a bamboo rat that could be easily picked up by humans, and could only kick and flap its legs weakly in front of Li Qing.

With his speed and strength suppressed, the Crimson King, who was tightly stuck by Li Qing, could only struggle helplessly.

The third second, and beyond...

The following scenes are all about Lee Sin beating up King Crimson. There's nothing much to see.

The Crimson King could occasionally seize the opportunity to hit Lee Sin with a knife, but this knife, which once could take away half of Lee Sin's life, could now only cause a pitiful 7% or 8% of the damage.

By the tenth second, Diablo was already dead.

This is the future.

If Diablo didn't use the time-limited nerf to change his fate, he would be beaten to death by Lee Sin as predicted.

"Damn it... I'm completely powerless against this bald guy!"

Diablo was horrified, his face turned pale:

In just over a week, the ant that could only be crushed to death had grown into an elephant that he dared not provoke.

"Run, don't stay even a second longer!"

Diablo understood.

He was not even qualified to stand in front of Li Qing now, so he had to run away immediately:

"King Crimson, let time leap!"

With the ability to predict the future, Diablo cut away time in time.

At this moment, Jotaro was not close enough to attack Diablo, so he did not activate the time stop.

Diablo safely entered the timeline that belonged to him.

But that didn't give him peace of mind.

He looked at the noisy crowd nearby, and then looked at Kira Yoshikage beside him:

"If I try my best to shave off time, I'll probably have about ten seconds to escape from here."

"These ten seconds are enough time for me to blend into the crowd. If I'm lucky, I might be able to escape successfully."

"As for this Kira Yoshikage..."

"Let's take him and run away together!"

Diablo originally wanted to take the arrow from Kira Yoshikage and escape alone.

But now, after experiencing the despair of being at his wits' end, he really needed a companion he could trust.

It's a pity to let Kira Yoshikage die like this.

Therefore, Diablo quickly ordered the Crimson King to carry Kira Yoshikage on his shoulders, and then ran quickly with his only companion during the time that was cut.

Just like that, in an independent timeline that no one was aware of, Diablo and Kira Yoshikage quickly blended into the crowd.

He pushed his time-cutting ability to its maximum, buying himself more than ten seconds of life.

After these ten seconds...

Diablo had already merged into the densely packed crowd along with Kira Yoshikage.

Their figures were submerged in the sea of people, and their breathing, heartbeats and footsteps were perfectly hidden in the chaos.

"It should be safe..."

Diablo deactivated his ability.

Maintaining this kind of time-consuming slashing is very energy-consuming, and the long time of slashing just now has already approached the limit of what he can achieve.

But his all-out escape, regardless of the cost, did work - at least, he seemed safe now.

"Let's go."

Diablo said to Kira Yoshikage, who had just escaped from the time-shattering and was still a little confused:

"Keep a low profile."

"Hide in the crowd and slip away quietly."

"Hmm... I see!" Kira Yoshikage finally reacted:

He had just been preparing his last words in his mind, but now he had been rescued by God Diablo without anyone noticing.

This guy... is unexpectedly reliable!

Kira Yoshikage's trust in Diablo grows deeper.

He clutched the ancient arrow in his pocket tightly and obediently followed Diablo into the crowd.

The crowd was their best cover, and it was not easy for Li Qing and others to find their whereabouts among the hundreds of people.

If they continue like this, they will be able to escape quietly soon and completely get rid of the threat posed by the enemy.

However, just as Diablo and Kira Yoshikage were running away with this wonderful thought...

Instead, they ran head-on into the bald man whose face had an expression of invincibility written all over it.

"Li Qing..."

Diablo's expression turned extremely ugly:

Without knowing when, Li Qing had actually blocked their way of escape!

"Damn, have we been discovered?"

"That Apache is clearly not here, and my actions during the time cut should not leave any 'memory'."

"How could my whereabouts be exposed so quickly?"

Diablo was completely at a loss for an answer.

"Oh, have you ever wondered why we were able to track down the tram station?"

"Diablo, give up. We have completely figured out your whereabouts!"

Li Qing gave a rather misleading answer.

But in fact, the real answer is very simple. They used the remote tracking ability of the Golden Experience to turn the hair that Kira Yoshikage dropped at the Higashikata family into a fly that can track the original body.

Following the fly, Li Qing and others easily reached the tram station.

Just now, Diablo mercifully took Kira Yoshikage away, but he did not expect that this companion who had shared life and death with him would continue to expose his whereabouts.

The answer was so obvious, but Diablo had never expected it:

Because the stand-in war is an intelligence war.

Diablo had no idea that Gold Experience had tracking capabilities, so he had already lost half the battle before it even started.

Due to the lack of intelligence, he still can't figure out why his whereabouts were exposed.

But what Diablo knew was that he had to keep running:

"Crimson King, let time fly..."

"You want to waste time and escape again, right?"

"Yes, no matter how strong my fighting ability is, I can't stop your time-cutting, but..."

Li Qing showed a cold smile on his face:

"Think about it, at my speed..."

"If I was the only one chasing after you, would it take me so long to appear in front of you?"

At this moment, time seems...

No, time really stood still.

Behind Diablo, who hadn't noticed, a face full of invincibility appeared.

The crowd can hide Diablo, and also hide his enemies.

Jotaro had already quietly approached Diablo under the cover of the crowd.

Diablo is already within the range of Star Platinum:

"Star Platinum—"

“The World!”

Time froze at this moment and the entire universe came to a standstill.

Trapped in this still time, Diablo was unable to move, think, or even realize what he was about to encounter.

"Ola Ola Ola Ola Ola!"

A tsunami suddenly rose up in the stagnant time.

Like a volcanic eruption, raging winds and waves, the vast and boundless power poured onto Diablo without reservation at this moment.

His fragile body was soon twisted and deformed like a rice cake beaten by a sledgehammer, and his bulging chest was constantly breaking and denting.

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds. Jotaro, who has been practicing in actual combat these days, has trained his ability to stop time back to 3 seconds.

Although it is only 1 second longer than before, this short 1 second can increase Star Platinum's output during the time stop by 50% compared to before.

And Star Platinum's extremely fast fist made these three seconds seem infinitely long.

Finally, the stagnant time began to flow again.

The terrifying fist power accumulated in Diablo began to explode like a time bomb.

Diablo tried hard to regain his composure from this sudden and intense pain.

But Star Platinum, who was well prepared, quickly submerged it again with her fists:

"Ola Ola Ola Ola Ola!"

The skin was torn, the flesh was rotten, the bones were shattered, and the internal organs were mixed into a pool of paste.

Diablo no longer has the strength to resist, and his life is about to come to an end.

"This is the debt you owe Polnareff."

"I helped him get it back."

Jotaro looked at Diavolo coldly, with uncontrollable anger surging beneath his calmness.

But he did not let Star Platinum deal a fatal blow to Diablo. He just watched the seriously injured Diablo die painfully on the ground.

This is certainly not because Jotaro has any special .

This is just a good habit that Jotaro has developed over the past week:

He is responsible for crippling the enemy, leaving the heads for Li Qing to take.

Anyway, leaving Diablo's life in his hands would only serve to vent his anger, so it would be better to let him stay and let Li Qing make some profits.

With this thought in mind, Jotaro no longer paid attention to Diablo.

And Diablo can't do anything now.

He could only collapse to the ground like a piece of rotten meat, watching his life, like a candle in the wind, gradually fade away in pain:

"Am I... am I going to die like this?"

"Damn it... Is fate really unchangeable..."

In the last moments of his life, Diablo thought of a lot.

The revolving lantern of life started running at the right time.

Among the countless hazy images, what finally settled in Diablo's mind was a round stone:

"What the hell... what are you talking about the Stone of Destiny..."

"What a miserable death that cannot be described in carving..."

"Is it impossible to carve my dead appearance now?"

Diablo gradually stopped thinking:
