Chapter 320: Incomprehensible New Abilities
It turns out that the power of arrows is not invincible.
Thinking of this, the courage that Diablo had finally mustered up completely disappeared.
Even though the arrow containing mysterious power was in his hand, all he was thinking about was escaping.
Run! Run! Run! Run as far away from Li Qing as possible!
The former dark emperor finally gave up his pride as a king.
As long as I can stay alive.
As Diablo thought about this, his legs unconsciously stepped in the direction away from the Dongfang family.
However, before he could even take two steps away, he ran head-on into the face he least wanted to see at the moment.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
"Since you're here, why don't you stay as a guest?"
Li Qing walked over slowly and blocked Diablo's way.
The road was wide, but he just casually went to that station, and it made people feel that there was an insurmountable mountain blocking the way ahead.
Diavolo's face changed drastically and he was horrified.
He subconsciously turned around and looked back, only to find that Jotaro, with an expression of invincibility written all over his face, had appeared dozens of meters behind him.
Giorno, Josuke Higashikata, and Polnareff then showed up and blocked Diavolo tightly on this newly repaired avenue where the cement had not yet dried.
The atmosphere became tense and heavy, as if a storm would break out at any time.
The foreman of the construction team frowned and said to the younger brother beside him:
"Everyone, get away. Something is not right here."
"And..." He looked down at his watch: "The time is almost up."
"Yes, big brother!"
The road workers nodded in response.
As if they felt the extremely oppressive invisible aura of Li Qing and others, they didn't even bother to pack up the remaining tools and equipment, and hurriedly followed their eldest brother and left.
No one stopped the road workers from leaving. It was a good thing for these ordinary people to take the initiative to stay away from the battlefield.
Li Qing was vaguely concerned about these "road workers" who had taken over his killing orders in a certain reincarnation.
But realizing that they were running farther and farther without stopping, to the point where they could no longer affect the war situation, he temporarily put these Japanese colleagues who were living a hard life behind him.
The only thing that matters now is Diablo.
Under the leadership of Lee Sin, Jotaro, Giorno, Josuke Higashikata, and Polnareff approached the center of the encirclement at the same time.
The same lineup appeared before our eyes again.
Diablo couldn't help but recall the despair he felt when he was crushed and beaten by Lee Sin and Jotaro in front of the train station yesterday.
“You…you…”
"How did you know I was here?!"
His mind was in turmoil and he lost control, and he subconsciously asked about the shock in his heart.
"Haha." Li Qing smiled without saying anything.
Just like Mr. Krabs would never give up his secret Krabby Patty recipe, he would never go and volunteer such important information.
The tracking capabilities of the Gold Experience are just too good to be true.
Now Lee Sin doesn't even have to worry about Diablo escaping when he activates the attack -
Anyway, with those flies around, Diablo will be found no matter where he runs.
"Diabolo, do you regret it?"
"I was just passing by that morning."
"If you hadn't taken the initiative to provoke me, you might still be your dark emperor now."
Li Qing's tone was very calm when he said this, but it was extremely painful to Diablo's ears:
Provoke you? It was you who broke into the hotel room where I stayed!
He was just killing people out of habit to silence them and erase all traces.
But who would have thought...
This ant, which could once be crushed to death with ease, has grown so big that it can force itself into this desperate situation.
Counting the time, it has been less than 12 days from that morning to now.
Why did such an unbelievable thing happen? Is it really fate that is against me, Diablo?
Diablo couldn't help but feel a deep despair in his heart.
"It's time to end it."
"You've been on the run long enough, Diablo."
Li Qing slowly approached his old enemy, with whom he had a grudge since the beginning of the game.
The fear and anger he once had towards Diablo had now faded into the depths of his heart as time passed.
His lifeless eyes were full of calmness, as if he was just about to complete a side quest that had been delayed for too long.
Jotaro approaches Diablo with a stern face, and Star Platinum is ready to strike.
He has a blood debt to pay with Diablo.
The silver chariot revealed its blade, and Polnareff's expression was deep and emotional.
He has a ten-year grudge to settle with Diablo.
Josuke Higashikata and Crazy Diamond followed closely, with equally imposing momentum.
He wanted to drive away the darkness and restore peace to his hometown.
Giorno and Golden Experience followed closely behind.
He wanted to witness the destruction of the king of this old era and clear the final obstacle to the beautiful new era.
“…”
Diablo fell silent.
He could already see his own death.
Seeing the fate that seems to be impossible to escape.
"Is fate really impossible to resist?"
Diablo once again thought back to the Stone's prophecy.
He once shrugged it off, thinking he could strangle fate by the throat, but the reality was so cruel.
The experiences of these days finally made him understand what the strange sculptor said before his death: everyone is just a slave to fate, including him, the dark emperor.
Despair came like a tide.
Diablo was overwhelmed by despair and almost suffocated.
He even forgot that he was still carrying an arrow that he once believed could change his destiny.
He had lost all hope. Even the so-called divine power of arrows could not arouse his will to fight.
"I'm going to die..."
"In a terrible posture that no sculpture can describe."
As death approaches, Diablo's mind reels back to memories of the past.
He was a born devil, with no relatives or lover in his life. Although he had physical pleasures, they were all just for show.
All I can think of in my memory is killing, killing, and killing.
I'm about to die, but I can only recall these things before I die...
This is quite sad, isn't it?
Diablo's heart, which was as cold and hard as ice, suddenly became sentimental.
Finally, he closed his eyes tightly in despair.
Diablo finally gave up on this whole world.
But... surprisingly, the world did not give up on him.
Buzz buzz buzz——
At the moment when Diablo closed his eyes and waited for death...
The ancient arrowhead that he had forgotten in his pocket suddenly began to vibrate violently without any warning.
It flew into the air in an instant, flew out of the pocket, and pierced straight into Diablo's arm.
Diablo's skin melted and opened up like mud in front of the arrow blade, and the sharp arrowhead instantly sank into his body like a swimming fish.
At the same time, an extremely powerful energy blossomed in Diablo's soul.
"Is this... an arrow?!"
Diablo suddenly opened his eyes.
Li Qing was also immediately stunned.
The last time Kira Yoshikage awakened, he was concentrating on attacking and didn't notice.
This time, Li Qing clearly felt the process of the arrow flying out of the pocket and sinking into the flesh and blood, and he finally discovered the existence of the arrow.
"Arrow, Diablo already has an arrow in his hand?!"
"Oh no... Could it be that the arrow in his hand..."
Li Qing suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart.
He couldn't help but think of Kira Yoshikage, and his ability that came from nowhere and was so powerful that it was almost unstoppable.
Before this, Li Qing had never figured out why this country killer would suddenly display such terrifying power.
Seeing the arrow that strangely penetrated Diablo, Li Qing immediately understood something:
It's an arrow. That arrow can stimulate the evolution of the Stand!
Diablo must be stopped.
We absolutely cannot let him get kicked out of the second stage of the boss like Kira Yoshikage!
But now it might be too late for Li Qing to take action himself, he could only call out loudly to the only man who could possibly stop all this.
"Mr. Jotaro—"
"Use your invincible Star Platinum to stop time!"
"Um?"
Jotaro frowned slightly.
Like everyone else, he originally thought that the battle was a sure win.
But now Li Qing suddenly reminded him loudly, obviously something uncontrollable had happened in the situation.
"Star Platinum—"
“The World!”
Just then, Jotaro approached the appropriate attack range.
After a brief pause, he stopped the flow of time as Li Qing reminded him.
The waves of the long river of time solidified like an ice sculpture, and Diavolo's expression of shock, surprise, and joy was completely frozen at this moment.
Now the duration of Star Platinum's time stop has been restored to 3 seconds.
Jotaro immediately jumped out and took 2 seconds to run the last distance to Diablo.
In the last second of time stopping, Star Platinum rushed to Diablo's side.
But it was not until this time that Jotaro realized that he seemed to be a step too late.
Diablo seemed to have activated some kind of ability.
His solid body became half real and half virtual at some point, and he stood there like a disembodied phantom.
"I can't hit him..."
"The fist went straight through him. It was like he was punching air."
"This isn't the ability to erase time... What kind of ability is this?"
There were some waves in Jotaro's heart:
Even in his home court, during this period of stillness, Star Platinum was helpless against Diablo who had entered the "hollow" state.
Soon, the last second ran out and time began to flow again.
It was not until this moment that everyone present, including Jotaro, discovered with shock:
Diablo’s body was becoming transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It's not that the transparency is simply increased to make it invisible, but his body is rapidly disappearing from this world in some way.
In just about one second, a living person with flesh and blood mysteriously turned into a phantom.
Diablo disappeared from this world.
"Where did he go?!"
Li Qing was deeply shocked.
His perception, which was pushed to the limit, could sense every fly within a hundred meters, but he could not sense Diablo who disappeared out of thin air.
A feeling of fear and worry rose up in everyone's heart uncontrollably.
But before this emotion had time to surge up...
The moment after Diablo disappeared...
Diablo unexpectedly reappeared from the same spot.
There was almost no interval between disappearing out of thin air and reappearing.
It was as if he had never disappeared.
But whether it was Li Qing, who had supernatural perception, or the others who were ordinary people, everyone knew that Diablo must have activated some ability just now.
because…
Diablo had no injuries on his body before he disappeared.
But now, his flesh was rotten and broken, his bones were deformed and twisted, and his whole body looked like he had been run over by a steamroller.
"this…"
The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.
Li Qing's extremely smart mind once again encountered an unsolvable problem:
"We hadn't even started to move yet, and in the blink of an eye he was lying on the ground by himself."
"What kind of move is this?"
