Dimensional Chat Group: Speed-o'-Light

Seeing that The World was now only a step away from the Stardust Crusaders, even DIO couldn't help but show a hint of joy.

As long as he had a hostage, escape was still possible. As the villain, DIO didn't have any resolve to fight to the death.

Naturally, DIO's target was Jotaro. Not only because Jotaro had the bloodline of the Joestar family, but more importantly, because Jotaro was still young.

If DIO hadn't witnessed the power of Kizaru, he might have considered leaving a few descendants of the Joestar family alive to avoid too much boredom in the future.

But thinking about it now, it was better not to. The last thing he wanted was for a few of Jotaro's descendants to pop up when he returned to action.

First, he'd capture Jotaro as a hostage, then escape, and after draining his blood, he could grow even stronger.

"Yare yare daze..."

However, what DIO didn't expect was that, just as The World was about to grab Jotaro, Jotaro suddenly raised his head, adjusting his hat, despite theoretically being in the time-stop state.

Having previously been caught off guard by Kizaru, DIO was terrified!

He never imagined that, aside from that unbeatable monster, even Jotaro could move in the time-stop world.

In the next moment, Jotaro's Stand, Star Platinum, swung its fist and punched through The World's chest.

Caught off guard, DIO was blasted away by the force of the punch.

Having experienced time-stop several times himself and knowing that his Stand, Star Platinum, had also gained the ability to stop time, Jotaro could now control time-stop as well.

Although Jotaro and Star Platinum could only move for a brief moment during time-stop, this surprise attack heavily wounded DIO.

"DIO... huh? What just happened?"

The five seconds of time-stop quickly passed, and the Stardust Crusaders only saw a blur before them.

The source of all evil, DIO, had been punched through the chest and was lying on the ground, glaring fiercely at Jotaro.

"Time-stop, huh? That's nothing special."

Jotaro, who had always been quiet, didn't mind saying a few words to make DIO's mindset crumble, especially since DIO was such a vile villain.

"Bastard! Impossible! Impossible! Wah...!"

DIO couldn't believe it. Not only had his time-stop ability failed to work on Kizaru, but now even Jotaro had broken through it. This sent DIO into a near-mad state.

Before his injuries could even heal, he summoned his Stand again.

"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA..."

However, before DIO could activate his Stand ability, Jotaro preemptively stopped time.

In the time-stop world, Jotaro's Stand, Star Platinum, moved at an incredible speed toward DIO, grabbing DIO's shoulder and positioning him at the most optimal angle to strike.

Then came a barrage of furious ORA ORA punches. Although up until now the Stardust Crusaders hadn't sustained any injuries and their progress felt almost like a leisurely outing, only Jotaro knew the truth.

If it weren't for joining the Dimensional Chat Group and receiving Kizaru's help, even if he could defeat DIO, he would have lost several companions in the process.

"Scary..."

In the time-stop world, Kizaru couldn't help but comment with a sense of detachment.

If it weren't for his advice, even though Jotaro had gained time-stop ability, DIO wouldn't have been completely powerless against him.

Jotaro's time-stop ability wasn't yet on the same level as DIO's five-second time-stop. Soon, time began to flow again.

"Ah..."

Before DIO could even make a sound, he was relentlessly pounded into the ground by a barrage of punches.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...

Jotaro showed no mercy during his ORA ORA barrage. The moment time resumed, dozens, perhaps hundreds, of punches hammered DIO into an unrecognizable form.

His body became like a heap of mush embedded in the ground, unable to move despite his vampire regeneration, even with his inhuman recovery abilities.

Only the flattened face of DIO remained, faintly showing traces of unwillingness and fear.

"Let's end this here. Let me think of a name for this move... Got it! Sunshine Radiance!"

Kizaru snapped his fingers lightly.

Endless light poured from his body, a brilliant radiance so dazzling that it lit up the entire dark night sky, turning it into day.

It was as if the sun had risen over Cairo at that very moment, purging all darkness and filth from the world.

Before DIO could even make a sound, he was turned into smoke, vanishing from the world in the blinding light.

"..."

The Stardust Crusaders were completely speechless, and Polnareff, who was staring at Kizaru, even shed tears of 'emotion.'

"The Sun God..."

Avdol murmured softly.

As a local of Egypt, Kizaru's display was so extraordinary that this somewhat eccentric diviner momentarily believed that he must be the Sun God Ra from Egyptian mythology.

As for why the Sun God would personally appear? It was easy to explain. After all, DIO's subordinates were so arrogant, daring to impersonate one of the Nine Pillars. The real master had come to set things right.

"So strong... What was that just now?! What happened to you... the light... the sun..."

Polnareff was so excited that he babbled incoherently, but he didn't realize that, apart from him, both Kakyoin and Joseph were cleverly pretending nothing had happened. Even Iggy, the dog, gave him a look of contempt.

The big boss... No, the great deity clearly didn't want to expose their identity and had prepared a fake name. Why do you have to be the one to blabber?

Now that he thought about it, DIO's death was truly not in vain. The Sun God Ra was the supreme deity in Egyptian mythology. If the great god personally intervened, even DIO's death was worth it.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Borsalino."

Jotaro, although not likely to mistake Kizaru for a god, couldn't help but feel shocked by his immense power.

"No need for thanks, it wasn't charity. As per our previous agreement, the spoils are mine."

Kizaru took out a few test tubes and shook them.

Inside were the blood and flesh remnants, left behind after Star Platinum pierced through DIO's chest.

Although DIO himself had been completely wiped out by Polnareff's Sunshine Radiance, the blood and flesh that remained were preserved and didn't vanish with his demise.

"Of course, there's also that..."

Jotaro nodded and helped Kizaru search through DIO's mansion. Eventually, they found the most important spoils on the top floor of the still-intact tower.
