Bab 250: [250] Villain and Saint
11:18
"Hehe... Hahaha—exactly like this!"
Just as DIO, having just used his dead apostles and the reality marble to escape, materialized under the raindrops falling from the sky, he burst into laughter. "The sunlight is completely obscured! Even in this state, it doesn't matter—indeed, fate is on my side. Successfully ascend to heaven is already a predetermined fate! Hahaha!"
"Lord DIO..." Isaac Barnes, the last remaining dead apostle by his side, bowed and paid his respects. His eyes reflected the fanaticism of a devoted follower. As for the deity he believed in...
Undoubtedly, it was DIO!
...
11:24
After enduring for about five minutes, the reality marble was completely shattered.
Only the corpses of two dead apostles were left behind.
"Tsk... Now we have to wait for instructions from that saintess..." Mordred sighed, forcefully thrusting her sword into the ground. "Damn it! That guy sure knows how to run!"
"This is inevitable..." Ambrose Conant said, "After all, he's a high-ranking dead apostle. That DIO..."
"Forget it, let's go. DIO won't be here. Let's go to the previously mentioned place and see if he might be waiting there."
The group quickly left.
What remained...
Were the corpses of two dead apostles... Alucard had pulled the bodies into his own river of death.

"Finally—found you! DIO—"
Martha looked at the man in the rain and spoke,
"A bit calm... a bit calm—" DIO, with his back turned to her, said, "Don't you feel, this rain heralds destiny?"
Martha didn't speak but glanced around. Nothing.
According to the previous information, there should be another dead apostle with DIO, but now... there was nothing!
"It ends here, DIO! Repent now—" Martha discarded her staff, and brass knuckles appeared in her hands. She anticipated the impending battle!
"Hmph—" DIO smirked slightly, turning halfway.
Raindrops struck his pale skin, golden hair... his fair complexion, the eerie smile. In the pouring rain, he exuded an unusual aura.
Behind him, Martha holding her fist felt an inexplicable chill, as if something was licking and sucking on her neck...
As if she had fallen into a nest of countless serpents!
"Have you... seen the one you worship with your own eyes?" DIO showed no intention to attack, leisurely approaching Martha.
"Of course! Who do you think I am? I've seen him with my own eyes!"
"Oh... I see. It seems you, as a saintess, still harbor that possibility. So... do you still believe in him?" DIO said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Martha clenched her fist. "Certainly! Even if it means exterminating you now, it's a revelation for me!"
"Really?" DIO suddenly appeared behind Martha, whispering into her ear.
Martha threw a punch behind her, but it hit empty air.
"Playing with the ability to stop time, is it interesting?" Martha raised her fist. "You never moved in front of me."
"Haha... you're not sure, are you? So, let me make it clear. Are you afraid of me? Afraid that I'll grow stronger and you're rushing to eliminate me?" DIO's lips curled. "Admit it, you fear me, fear that I'm about to grow and become a threat, so you're eager to destroy me..."
"And what if I am? No matter what, I'll end you here, DIO!" Martha took a deep breath, calming herself. She couldn't argue anymore; it was time to smash his head!
"Haha... destroying me, huh?" DIO slowly stood up. "In that case, allow me to propose something to you before that."
DIO suddenly appeared behind Martha again. "How about serving me? Like how you serve your god."
"I would never—!"
"I'm about to reach that realm, about to ascend to heaven, become an all-powerful being, granting eternal peace. So... are you willing to join me? Share in this peace with me."
DIO reached out his hand, saying, "Come... take my hand... and serve me forever—"
Boom!
Their fists collided!
Martha's brass knuckles clashed with DIO's Stand!
"Ohh... looks like you refused, huh? Rejected my proposal, Dio's proposal! Refused the proposal of a soon-to-be divine being who will ascend to heaven!"
"Go to hell, monster! ORA—"
"Well, this is quite nostalgic... So, let's play a bit."
DIO said, and his Stand appeared, assuming a stance.
"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA—!"
"MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA—!"
"Haha, your imitation is interesting... Well then, can you also imitate this? THE WORLD! Stop! Time—!"
In the next moment,
Time stopped!
"Too bad... the only one who could track me down in this place, since he refused my proposal, there's nothing else to discuss—go die!"
DIO said, raising his hand to chop at Martha's neck!
