Green Day's stand-in ability is to release extremely corrosive and deadly mold. Its ability range can cover a city with a population of one million. All people within its ability range will be directly corroded to death by the mold as long as they move to a position lower than themselves.

If you know the information in advance, it is not difficult to avoid this stand-in ability. You can avoid mold corrosion by just walking to higher places or simply standing still. However, the problem is that the scope of this ability is too large.

JOJO World Ordinary people don't know what Stand User is. Faced with such a disgusting stand-in ability, Tokisaki Kurumi is confident that it can easily win even if its frontal combat capability is not strong. But by the time the battle is over, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people will die in the entire city.

After all, in the original book, it was late at night when Green Day used his stand-in ability, but now Tokisaki Kurumi attacks at noon.

Fortunately, after solving the combination of Cioccolata and Secco, the remaining guards are basically nothing to worry about. In Tokisaki Kurumi's view, the threat level is even less than that of the assassination team.

While walking towards the outside of this room located high in the stronghold, Tokisaki Kurumi prepared to release City of Devouring Time.

After all, Passione's people already know part of City of Devouring Time's abilities, and City of Devouring Time, as a barrier, cannot move, so continuing to expand it is just a waste of power.

You can't expect others to come in and deliver it, right?

Oh no, it seems like someone will actually come to deliver it.

As if something suddenly occurred to him, Tokisaki Kurumi waited for a moment, and sure enough, a figure took the initiative to break into City of Devouring Time's barrier.

Plop!

The figure fell to the ground the moment it entered the range of City of Devouring Time, and Tokisaki Kurumi walked to the opponent without any haste.

Carne, Diavolo members of the Guards, Part 5 in the JOJO series are the strongest substitute owners except Gold Experience Requiem. The substitute name is [Notorious B.I.G.], which is an extremely rare deathrattle type substitute in the entire JOJO series.

Before the death of the main body, [Notorious B.I.G.] has almost no fighting ability, but after the death of the main body, BIG will directly transform into the ultimate numerical monster.

Except for Gold Experience Requiem, in the entire JOJO series Part 5, only BIG makes Tokisaki Kurumi feel a little troublesome. Of course, it is just a little troublesome.

Keke Emperor's basic abilities can already cause a dimensionality reduction attack on most stand-ins in the JOJO world. Keke Emperor, who has no shortage of time reserves, will not be at a disadvantage even when facing the BUG stand-ins in the original work, excluding the influence of fate.

Not to mention anything else, Limitless time reserve plus Yud Bet time travel, even if it is Father Pucci who has ascended to heaven, Tokisaki Kurumi can go back to the opponent before he awakens his substitute and kill him with one shot.

You are right, your substitute ability is indeed very strong, so I want Yud Bet to be activated.

Therefore, facing BIG, as long as Tokisaki Kurumi thinks about it, there are still many solutions.

For example, the simplest way is to directly use Zayin to stop its time, then follow the original example and throw BIG into the sea, and let the other party slowly chase the waves, or open a single room for BIG in Shadow Space, shut it into an independent space with nothing, and let it slowly disappear.

Of course, these are all BIGs that have been successfully activated. At present, neither Diavolo nor the members of the Guards probably know that Tokisaki Kurumi actually knows all of their stand-in information early on, so Carne took the initiative to crash into City of Devouring Time in an attempt to die. Tokisaki Kurumi was naturally not polite and arranged a single room for Shadow Space on the spot, preparing to take it to Makima later.

As Carne sank into the shadows, only two of Diavolo's personal guards were left in the stronghold, namely Squalo whose substitute was [Clash] and Tiziano whose substitute was [Talking Head].

There's nothing much to say about the gay man in the original work. It's okay to be a bit dirty when the enemy doesn't know the ability of the stand-in, but his frontal combat ability can only be described as "crotch pulling".

However, just when Tokisaki Kurumi disarmed City of Devouring Time and prepared to kill the two of them with one shot of Aleph, another breath quietly sneaked into the stronghold.

Upon noticing this, Tokisaki Kurumi revealed a dangerous smile.

Because the person who sneaked into the stronghold at this time was none other than Venica o Doppio, the last member of the Guards, or rather his true identity, the leader of Passione, Diavolo.

"Interesting. Do you want to take advantage of the opportunity for the Guards to attract attention to observe the intelligence at close range or find an opportunity to make a sneak attack? No wonder you have to order the Guards to turn from darkness to light, and you must stay in this stronghold."

"If that's the case... let's have some fun with it. I hope I won't scare anyone."

After all, Diavolo's stand-in, King Crimson, is quite capable, and Tokisaki Kurumi is also planning to send it to Makima.

Chapter 146: Tokisaki Kurumi's trap, Diavolo: So, I took action

The dark red field covering nearly half of the stronghold gradually dispersed, and outside the field, Squalo and Tiziano, hiding behind a building, stared at the scene in front of them with solemn eyes.

At this moment, there are only two of them, Stand User, left in the stronghold, and the other three members of the Guards may have met with something unexpected.

But even so, when the dark red field had not yet dissipated, the two of them did not dare to have the slightest idea of supporting other members of the Guards in the field. According to the intelligence, once they were enveloped by the substitute ability of the dark red field, everything would be over.

Therefore, Squalo and Tiziano only dare to wait outside the field. As long as the dark red field in front of them completely disappears, they will attack the moment the enemy appears.

At the same time, Diavolo, who had secretly sneaked into the stronghold, was also watching the battle in the dark. Looking at the gradually disappearing dark red field, Diavolo held his breath.

It seems that the special field formed by the opponent's stand-in ability cannot be moved, otherwise the opponent would have no reason to let the two members of the Guards outside the field take the initiative to disable the ability. This is good news for Diavolo.

Next, just see if the opponent can continuously activate the substitute ability, or how they will deal with the remaining enemies if they cannot activate the substitute ability continuously.

Just use your lives to bring me as much information as possible.

Diavolo stared indifferently at Squalo and Tiziano on the battlefield, not caring about their lives at all, and showing no intention of stepping forward to help.

Just like that, the dark red field completely dispersed, and what appeared in front of the three people was an empty scene.

Are you hiding?

Squalo, Tiziano and Diavolo who were hiding in the dark suddenly came up with this guess in their minds.

If the opponent's substitute ability to expand the field cannot be activated continuously, then it is indeed a reasonable choice to take advantage of the opportunity for the substitute ability to be released to hide and wait for the next activation of the substitute ability.

Realizing this, Squalo immediately prepared to summon a substitute [Clash] to search for traces of the enemy.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind Squalo and Tiziano.

"Ara, are you two looking for me?"

For a moment, Squalo and Tiziano's pupils tightened, and they quickly turned around and tried to look behind them. However, Tokisaki Kurumi, who appeared behind them through the time acceleration effect brought by Aleph, first raised Flintlock in his hand and aimed it at their bodies.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several gunshots were fired in succession, but Tiziano reacted first and pushed Squalo away, but his body was penetrated by several bullets.

"Tiziano!!!"

Seeing this scene, Squalo was heartbroken, and even Diavolo, who was hiding in the dark, opened his eyes wide.

It wasn't that I was moved by the sincere feelings between the two, but I was shocked by the speed of Tokisaki Kurumi.

When... why didn't he notice at all when the other party appeared? Is this also the other party's substitute ability?

With such an ability, doesn't it mean that even if the dark red field cannot be used continuously, the opponent can instantly leave the battlefield at any time and return again when he recovers?

"Damn, luckily I didn't show up rashly."

For a moment, Diavolo was extremely grateful for his caution.

The two stand-in abilities currently displayed by the other party can be said to be invincible when combined. Once he accidentally exposes himself too early and makes the other party wary, leading to the release of such a powerful and elusive Stand User, then Diavolo estimates that he will not be able to sleep peacefully for the rest of his life.

"You guy... actually killed Tiziano..."

"Clash, bite this woman's throat off!!!"

Looking at the fallen body of his companion, Squalo's face was filled with anger. As he shouted, a fish-shaped avatar with a mouth full of sharp teeth rushed out of the pool of blood and jumped towards Tokisaki Kurumi.

Squalo's stand-in [Clash] can move freely between liquids and attack the enemy. Now he is using the blood that flowed out when Tiziano fell down as a springboard to let the stand-in launch an attack on Tokisaki Kurumi.

However, as a stand-in whose panel destructive power is only D, Clash, who only relies on some blood as a springboard, is obviously not strong enough. Relying on Elf's physique that is far beyond ordinary people, Tokisaki Kurumi turned the butt of his gun and knocked Squalo's stand aside with a wave of his hand. Then he instantly appeared in front of Squalo and kicked him away.

Peng!

Squalo, who was kicked away by Tokisaki Kurumi, hit the wall of the building in the stronghold, and several crisp bones cracked. Feeling that his body was about to fall apart, Squalo forced himself to stand up from the ground, and wanted to continue letting his substitute attack. However, due to the movement just now, there was no water source around the position where he and the opponent were at this moment.

Seeing this scene, Squalo picked up a sharp piece of gravel from the ground with firm eyes, wanting to use his own blood to artificially create a new water source. Unfortunately, Tokisaki Kurumi, who was standing not far away, had already made a new move.

"It seems that you are at your wits' end. What a pity. I don't see your interest in continuing to fight for your companions."

"But with this kind of awareness, I will temporarily recognize the will of you and your companions. It just so happens that the time is almost up, so I will use this trick to deal with you."

Under the gaze of Squalo, the dark red barrier spread outwards with Tokisaki Kurumi as the center, covering everything in sight in an instant.

And his body also lost all strength in an instant, falling to the ground helplessly, and his spirit became extremely exhausted, as if he might lose consciousness at any time.

What a terrifying substitute ability... can it be used again so quickly?

How long has it been since the last time the opponent used this dark red field, ten seconds or fifteen seconds? In short, it must not have been more than half a minute.

"No wonder the BOSS will mobilize all the escorts just to deal with you. An opponent like you... I'm afraid it can only be solved by the boss himself..."

Squalo forced his eyelids up and stared at the girl in a daze as he stepped in front of him and raised the muzzle of the gun in his hand.

But, is it his illusion? Although the appearance and temperament of the girl in front of him have not changed at all, he always feels that she is a little different from before?

Bang!

After a gunshot, the dark red field disappeared. Looking at the corpse in front of him, Tokisaki Kurumi put away Flintlock in his hand.

"In this way, everything is solved. Next, we only need to find the leader of Passione and kill him. The purpose of this trip will be successfully completed."

"However, it is said that the leader of this organization never shows up, and no one has seen his true face. It seems that if you want to find the target, you must first find a more powerful intelligence substitute to conduct a thorough investigation."

In the darkness, Diavolo, who was not within the range of City of Devouring Time just now, lost his combat power when he heard this, the killing intent in his eyes skyrocketed.

"Sure enough, her target is me. This woman has no intention of letting anyone go from the beginning!"

"Calm down, no matter what kind of enemy you face, as an emperor you will eventually overcome it. The opponent has just released the substitute ability that can deprive others of their power on a large scale. In the next few seconds, she will no longer be able to use this power."

"This is my chance. As long as I use the ability of my stand-in [King Crimson] to attack her during this period, I will definitely be able to kill this woman with this gap!"

The more critical the moment, the more cautious Diavolo is. Considering that the opponent has some kind of substitute ability similar to high-speed movement even if he cannot use the substitute ability to expand a large dark red field, Diavolo understands that he only has one chance to take action.

Once there is no one-shot victory, and if the opponent realizes that there is still an enemy hiding in the dark, the opponent will definitely use that ability to retreat instantly, and then return again when the substitute ability of the large-scale dark red field can be used again. The interval between this period will not exceed fifteen seconds.

It is impossible for him to escape in such a short period of time. In other words, as long as he is exposed and fails to kill the opponent, the situation will immediately become overwhelmingly unfavorable to him.

But this is already the best opportunity to kill the opponent. Once missed, the chance of winning next time will only be even slimmer.

So, take action now! The so-called fear is what he must smash, and now, he Diavolo must step over her!

""KingCrimson"!"

King Crimson's ability is activated, and under the influence of Time Erasure, everything around him seems to be trapped in Nihility, and everything runs according to the original trajectory. Only Diavolo is not affected.

But even in such a world, Diavolo still did not relax his vigilance. Just in case, he activated another ability [Epitaph] of his [King Crimson] before taking action.

Epitaph can allow Diavolo to predict the future about ten seconds later. Unless it is affected by Time Erasure, the future predicted by Epitaph will definitely happen.

Through Epitaph's ability, Diavolo will change his strategy based on the future he sees. If he succeeds in the future predicted by Epitaph, then this time Time Erasure is a fatal blow to the enemy, and if he fails in Epitaph's prediction, then Diavolo will not hesitate to use Time Erasure to escape.

Just like that, the picture of the future appeared in front of Diavolo.

On the screen, he saw his King Crimson attack strikingly penetrating this woman's body.

"We won, this is a victory for the emperor! It seems that fate is still on my side Diavolo in the end! Let me die!!!"

At this moment, with the future reflected by Epitaph and knowing that he would definitely win, Diavolo took action.

Chapter 147: Tokisaki Kurumi: Zafkiel's real ability is to manipulate time.

Poof!

King Crimson's hand knife carried huge power and penetrated the girl's body at the moment when the time cut ended.

Suddenly being attacked like this, a bit of shock flashed in the girl's eyes, but it was obviously too late to react at this time. In order to ensure death with one blow, King Crimson's attack was aimed at the girl's back.

In other words, the girl's heart has been destroyed at this moment, and everything is as predicted by Epitaph.

"It's over..."

Diavolo looked at the scene in front of him with a somewhat ecstatic smile on his face.

However, even at this moment of determined victory, Diavolo still did not relax his vigilance. After succeeding in the attack, he did not hesitate to use Time Erasure again and retreated to a safe position.

Plop...

As Diavolo retreated, Tokisaki Kurumi's body half-knelt on the ground as if it had lost power. A large amount of blood instantly stained the ground red.

It was not until this moment that Diavolo finally confirmed his victory.

"Hehehehe... hahahahahahaha, once again, it seems that fate has once again chosen me, Diavolo, to stand at the apex of invincibility!"

"To be honest, I was actually filled with fear at that moment, but it was great that I didn't run away. Otherwise, I might have lost this easy victory."

Diavolo, who retreated not far from Tokisaki Kurumi, slowly approached, and at the same time, King Crimson's figure appeared next to him again.

"With your heart destroyed, you must be completely weak now, and it's difficult to even breathe, right? Your wounds are bleeding continuously, and your brain will soon lose consciousness, which means that even if you leave it alone, you will die in a few minutes at most."

"But even this still doesn't make me feel at ease. For someone like you who provokes the majesty of the emperor, I will personally chop off your head with King Crimson after you lose consciousness!"

"Really, but I think you probably won't have this opportunity."

Tokisaki Kurumi, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head slightly after hearing this. What surprised Diavolo was that the girl in front of him didn't have the despair or pain in his eyes at this moment.

On the contrary, although the girl's eyes looked weak at this moment, it was more like the playful expression of a hunter when he sees his prey falling into a trap. That is not an expression that should appear on the face of a dying person at all.

The strange scene made Diavolo feel uneasy, and it immediately reached the extreme level.

Even though the enemy in front of him has theoretically lost all resistance, Diavolo still has an urge in his heart to escape from this place immediately, and Diavolo has already planned to take action for this.
