"Of course." Hit's expression was calm. "It'll be over soon. You won't feel any pain."
Hit said no more and activated Time-Skip, stopping time for 0.1 seconds.
Perhaps 0.1 seconds meant nothing to an ordinary person.
But to top fighters like Mu Yang and Hit, 0.1 seconds was enough to be fatal!
Hit needed only 0.05 seconds to reach Mu Yang.
Mu Yang stood perfectly still before him.
"Then this is goodbye!" Hit said, looking at Mu Yang's face as he prepared to finish him off.
"So this is what the world inside Time-Skip looks like? What a strange feeling." Mu Yang sighed.
Hit staggered back several steps as if struck by lightning, his expression stunned.
Soon, the 0.1 seconds were up.
Time resumed its flow.
Caulifla and Kale, standing nearby, had no idea what had happened. Their heads were full of questions.
"What exactly did you do?" Hit asked, his expression grave as he looked at Mu Yang.
"I didn't do anything." Mu Yang smiled faintly.
And that was the truth.
Mu Yang really hadn't done anything. His Time Immunity Constitution had simply nullified the time stop from Hit's Time-Skip automatically.
"You're still not willing to tell the truth?" Hit naturally didn't believe him, and his expression darkened.
"There's no need to be so tense. How about you try out my new move? I think you'll find it pretty interesting." Mu Yang lightly scratched his cheek. Behind him appeared a burly, platinum-colored humanoid Stand.
"That's your move?" Hit's expression darkened even further.
He seriously suspected Mu Yang was messing with him.
All he'd done was summon a mere humanoid double.
Nothing impressive.
"THE WORLD!"
Mu Yang's lips curled upward. Under the Stand's power, time around them abruptly stopped.
"Th-this..."
Hit's eyes widened, and he was at a loss for words.
He knew this space.
It was his time-stop space!
"So, how does it feel to be time-stopped for the first time? Not bad, huh?" Mu Yang walked slowly up to Hit and spoke with a smile.
Mu Yang wasn't in any hurry to end the fight. Instead, he kept chatting with Hit like an old friend.
Hit ignored him and tried to move. Once he realized he couldn't budge, he calmly asked, "You know Time-Skip too?"
"Time-Skip?"
Mu Yang smiled, almost scoffing. "Why don't you think about how many seconds have passed?"
Hit tried to recall, then realized in shock that time had already stopped for four seconds.
Time-Skip could never last that long!
"You..."
"This is an ability that can stop time for five seconds." As if he'd known what Hit was about to say, Mu Yang answered before he could.
As for where Mu Yang had gotten this ability...
The answer was simple.
The moment Hit had first used time stop to reach him, the system in his mind had stirred.
[Beep! Congratulations, Host! This is your first time experiencing Time-Skip. With your heaven-defying comprehension, you have automatically mastered the Stand Star Platinum.]
Star Platinum.
The time-stopping trump card from JoJo had now been mastered by Mu Yang.
It was a shame the power wasn't a time rule, but Star Platinum's ability to stop time was still pretty good.
It also confirmed Mu Yang's guess: the time rule belonged to the Angel Race.
Five seconds passed in a flash.
Soon, time began to flow again.
To Caulifla and Kale, who were watching, Mu Yang and Hit looked like they were performing magic.
In the blink of an eye, Hit had suddenly appeared in front of Mu Yang without moving, then Mu Yang had suddenly appeared right next to Hit, also without moving.
"Big Sis, how did they do that?" Kale wondered aloud, completely baffled.
"I don't know either." Caulifla kept frowning as she watched the two of them in the distance.
She could tell that although they hadn't started fighting yet, it wouldn't be long now!
On the battlefield.
"So my Time-Skip has no effect on you, but your time stop works on me?" Hit frowned, unsure what to do.
He hadn't expected to run into such an incompatible opponent while out on a mission.
"That's about right." Mu Yang smiled at Hit, curious to see what he would do next.
"If Time-Skip won't work, then we'll just have to fight it out and see who's stronger." Hit thought it over briefly and reached his final conclusion.
"Whoosh!"
Hit's figure flickered and vanished from in front of Mu Yang.
Mu Yang's pupils shifted, as if he could see him.
In an instant, Hit appeared behind Mu Yang. A deadly attack gathered in his hand as he struck toward Mu Yang's heart.
"It's over."
Hit was already certain of the outcome.
Mu Yang suddenly grabbed the deadly hand and used all his strength to hold it in place.
"What?"
Hit hadn't expected Mu Yang to react in time. He immediately tried to pull his hand back.
But no matter what he did, he couldn't free it. His opponent seemed even stronger than he was!
"Hmph." Mu Yang tightened his grip.
"Hng..." Hit grunted as pain shot through him.
"Caulifla, Kale, watch closely. This is the Super Saiyan transformation." Mu Yang ignored Hit and turned to address the two nearby.
Then Mu Yang gathered the vast, ocean-like energy within his body into his back. His hair suddenly turned golden, and an astonishing burst of power erupted from him, forming a golden aura.
"This is a Super Saiyan, Caulifla." Mu Yang's lips curved slightly.
"That's so cool! Saiyans have a transformation this awesome?" Caulifla's eyes sparkled with admiration as she watched Mu Yang's transformation.
Kale wasn't particularly impressed by Mu Yang's transformation.
Her attention was entirely focused on Caulifla.
"Are you really a Saiyan?" Hit asked after a moment of silence.
"That's right," Mu Yang replied.
"I've never seen this transformation before." Hit stared at Mu Yang, now transformed into a Super Saiyan.
"Don't worry." Mu Yang smiled mysteriously. "In another ten years or so, you'll get to see this transformation every day."
Hit: "???"
"Next up is... the Legendary Super Saiyan transformation." Mu Yang turned to look at Kale and shouted, "Watch closely, Kale! This is what the Legendary Super Saiyan transformation looks like!"
"Raaah!"
"Raaaaah!!!"
Mu Yang released Hit's hand and clenched both fists. Dust swirled around them, rocks shot through the air, and the commotion grew louder and more intense.
