Chapter 256: [256] The Beginning of the Performance
18:22
"My The World Over Heaven, performing a true rewrite is not something that can be done casually... A large number of souls and control over time are necessary. Advantages and disadvantages are two sides of the same coin, not something to be taken lightly! However—now that I have the Holy Grail, my freedom has increased, and with each Servant I send into the Grail, filling it... my freedom will rise even more. Once the Holy Grail is completely filled, I can freely use this Stand, and the world will truly be in my hands!"
DIO's body slowly appeared in the ruins of Cairo Tower.
He laughed at the group of people still discussing something and hadn't left yet. "It seems like you've already anticipated your own deaths! Are you waiting here for me to come and kill you?"
"DIO!"
"Roar————(whatever you are! Prepare to die!)" Berserker roared and charged towards DIO.
The next moment!
DIO's Stand, The World Over Heaven, appeared behind him!
Transformed into a white Stand, it extended its arm towards Berserker!
Bang————!
With no force to resist, Berserker, who should have the strength to crush DIO, was sent flying!
In mid-air, he exploded, and his spirit entered DIO's body—
"This... what is this—!?"
Marta couldn't believe it. "He already obtained the Holy Grail? And the Holy Grail is inside his body??"
"The crucial point isn't that!" Mordred, holding his sword, said with a sweaty back. "Berserker got taken down!."
"Yes..." Enkidu nodded. Even he felt Berserker was troublesome, but he was instantly defeated... What ability is this?
Just an instant!
Just a simple punch.
And he's down!?
"Everyone, retreat—keep your distance! Keep your distance!" Barthomeloi Lorelei shouted, "We don't know his ability yet. Everyone, stand back—use magecraft. Executors—"
"I understand!" Ambrose Conant nodded, "Everyone, prepare to attack, protect the Servant! Before understanding his ability..."
"Oh... wise choice!" DIO said with a smile. "Indeed, now in front of me, no matter who you are, how strong you are, or how many you are... it doesn't mean anything! Because—this is my Stand! The World Over Heaven——!!"
The atmosphere became heavy.
Everyone felt a dense pressure coming from DIO!
"Well then, let me try—"
"Shakespeare?" Barthomeloi Lorelei frowned suddenly, as if she remembered something. "Right! Your Noble Phantasm!"
"Exactly—" Caster Shakespeare said and took two steps forward, facing DIO. "Let me show you—"
Saying that, a book appeared in his hand, and the pages fluttered. "An unknown ability, a powerful move. Truly troublesome, truly troublesome. But interesting—if you face him in this situation, how will you fare? Facing that person—when the performance begins, offer a thunderous applause!"
"Oh..." DIO just stood there without moving. "Alright! Use any move you have! Let me tell you, in front of DIO, the power you pride yourselves on is so fragile!"
Boom————
The scene changed the next moment.
The scenery in front turned into that of a mansion, with the moon hanging in the sky.
His clothing also changed, and he seemed much shorter—
"What is this...?" DIO looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery and squinted slightly. "Joestar family mansion?"
"I finally found it! DIO! Prove the evidence of your demonic plot!"
"Jonathan..." Looking at the familiar figure in front of him, DIO said with some nostalgia, "So this is the Noble Phantasm of that Caster?"
Buzz—
The Stand appeared from behind him. It was still The World Over Heaven, but its appearance changed, its clothes changed, but its actual strength didn't change at all.
Still the vampire DIO!
"I've obtained the antidote, just gave it to Father—"
"How nostalgic... JOJO~~"
"Huh? What are you saying?" Jonathan frowned.
"Hehe, well... it's enough like this. It's been too long—You're no longer my weakness!"
Bang—
Saying that, The World's fist directly smashed Jonathan's head, who was defenseless.
"Is this the end? Is it over like this?" DIO lifted his head and said.
"No, no, it's not just that, then—Act 1 begins!"
Bang—
"Oh, oh... really fast," Shakespeare said. The first act is knights, but it's only an instant, and DIO smashed Jonathan's head without any hesitation!
"Huh, does this Noble Phantasm want to find the weakness of my DIO's soul? No—impossible! I have already achieved eternal peace, and weakness, such a thing—simply doesn't exist in me!"
"No, no, no, not really—generally, yes. But—how will you face him when he's in front of you? I'm curious! Act 3 begins!"
"DIO—!"
"——!" Hearing the voice, DIO quickly turned around. "Jotaro..."
"You—bastard—how are you still alive?" Jotaro Kujo looked at DIO, gritted his teeth, and stepped forward step by step. "This time... I must absolutely kill you for real!"
"Hmm..." DIO was silent for two seconds. "I really didn't expect— that Noble Phantasm could bring you here in front of me... Haha... But even if you've come, so what? Is it to be killed by me—"
"No! It's to kill you!—Star Platinum!" Saying that, Star Platinum appeared in front of him, and with a fierce punch, he struck towards DIO!
"What—the hell?" DIO's expression changed. "Stand—? He can use Stand? It's not just a simple illusion—?"
"Ora——!!"
