The Invincible Stand, the Useless Stand User
Although my mood has inexplicably calmed down, the situation will not improve as a result.
That nauseating Meat Mountain is still slowly approaching.
Although the speed was extremely slow, the oppressive feeling coming from the front was still so heavy that it was suffocating.
The air was eerily still, with only the faint sounds of flesh and blood writhing echoing in the dim alley.
Finally
"Aerosmith!"
A 'toy airplane' took off from around Narancia and soared into the sky in the next second.
At the same time, the Meat Chunk that sensed the movement of Aerosmith also suddenly burst forth with astonishing speed.
Unlike the out-of-control and mindless original, this Meat Chunk is actually Willy's stand-in.
Even if it senses the "fastest target," its "hatred" will still be firmly locked onto the targets that Willy made it kill.
"Narancia!"
"What... what are you doing?!"
As the Meat Chunk hurtled towards him like a speeding train, Fugo couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
Narancia, however, silently gave Bucciarati a knowing look, then quickly maneuvered his Stand, which had taken to the air, to change its orientation, pointing the nose, which carried two machine guns, at Willy on the ground:
"Aerosmith, fire!"
The machine gun fired two streams of intense heat, and Willy's expression changed drastically:
"Huh, a bullet?"
"Help! Help me!"
At this critical moment, the Meat Chunk that was about to engulf Li Qing and the others with its super-fast speed suddenly disappeared from its original spot.
It appeared instantly in front of Willy, using its massive, mountain-like body to form a wall of flesh, blocking the machine gun fire from Aerosmith.
The firing only lasted a few moments before it stopped.
"Thank goodness you were here."
"I'm fine now. Go back and kill them all!"
Willy breathed a long sigh of relief, and only then did he remember to order the Meat Chunk to fight back.
However, just as the Meat Chunk responded and slowly moved away from the body...
Li Qing and the others were no longer in the alley.
"Huh, where is everyone?"
Willy was slightly taken aback.
Five meters underground, the sewer.
Besides being able to open up alternate dimensions anywhere, Bucciarati's zipper has another very strange use: burrowing underground.
By continuously 'unzipping' the soil with his Steel Chain Fingers, Bucciarati can create alternate dimensions within the earth and use them to move his companions underground.
"Wow, so that's how it can be done!"
Fugo finally snapped out of his shock:
"I almost forgot that whenever Willy panics, his Stand will automatically teleport back to protect his main body."
"And this Meat Chunk is so big that while protecting the main body, it also blocks Willy's own view."
"Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bucciarati will have time to have the Steel Chain Fingers open the ground and escape with us."
"How lucky!"
He let out a long sigh, which drew nods of agreement from the crowd.
That was indeed lucky.
They were only able to escape because they were lucky enough to run into a very weak opponent—specifically, Willy himself.
If Willy hadn't been so cowardly as to insist on having his Stand protect him, given the speed at which the Meat Chunk were able to unleash their power, they could have easily suffocated Li Qing, Narancia, and the others the moment the machine gun bullets hit his body.
With the Meat Chunk turning to protect itself, Willy cowered behind the wall of flesh, hesitant to show his face.
That's not just cowardly, it's incredibly stupid.
Although Stand abilities are invincible, Willy is far from qualified to be Stand User.
"While this idiot hasn't realized what's happening..."
After securing temporary safety, Fugo immediately suggested:
"Shall we run down the sewers?"
"Willy's stunt double has a limited range. As long as we can escape a distance long enough, the Meat Chunk won't be able to catch us."
"Run?" Bucciarati hesitated slightly.
"Bucciarati".
Narancia couldn't help but chime in to help Fugo:
"Aren't you planning to run away?"
"How could we possibly defeat those monster clones?"
"But."
Bucciarati frowned deeply:
"I always felt that if we ignored Willy, who has this Stand, something terrible might happen in the future."
The moment the words were spoken, it was as if some supernatural power made them come true.
Suddenly, a piercing wail rang out from the ground, its devastation so intense that it could penetrate the thick layer of soil and faintly echo from the sewers.
What is that sound?
Everyone had a very bad feeling.
Li Qing, whose hearing was the most acute, carefully sensed the surroundings, and his expression suddenly turned grim:
"They're the thugs we knocked out and left in the alley before."
"That guy named Willy."
"They are currently feeding their own stunt doubles with living people."
Li Qing could clearly hear the terrifying sound of the Meat Chunk devouring human bodies and tearing flesh apart.
Those poor thugs, having just awakened from their coma, suffered a punishment a thousand times more horrific than being torn apart by five horses.
Amidst their piercing, agonizing screams, faintly mingled with Willy's frenzied, bloodthirsty roars:
"My friend, eat a little more, grow a little bigger."
"Eat all those who bullied me!"
He was talking to his stand-in, and also addressing Bucciarati, who was lurking underground:
"Bucciarati, get out here now!"
"My friend has already sensed that there are several rats scurrying around underground."
"It originally intended to come directly to you, but I stopped it—"
"Hahahaha," Willy laughed maniacally, "I want you all to come out and kneel before me!"
"Otherwise, I'll kill everyone on the ground!"
The writhing of flesh, the gushing of blood, the wails of the dead, the maniacal laughter of the murderer.
These terrifying sounds merged together, tormenting everyone's hearts.
Damn it!
"That piece of trash. I should have beaten him to death long ago!"
Fugo clenched his Riot Games tightly, his teeth clenched in hatred.
Narancia, meanwhile, looked cautiously at Bucciarati and tentatively asked:
Are you really going out?
"But... we have no way to fight that Meat Chunk."
Bucciarati fell into deep thought and remained silent for a long time.
Indeed, they had no way to defeat that Meat Chunk.
But now that the Meat Chunk have discovered their trail, even if they cowardly choose to run away, they may not be able to escape the enemy's pursuit.
Moreover, Willy was feeding the Meat Chunk with humans, causing Meat Chunk to swell and grow continuously.
After a brief silence
"Get out!"
It wasn't Bucciarati who spoke, but Li Qing.
With his eyes, which could barely see, he stared intently at his opponent through the thick layer of earth:
"They said they wanted us to come out on our own."
"Ultimately, he was afraid that if his Stand got too far away from him, no one would be able to protect him in real time, so he didn't dare to let the Meat Chunk chase him freely."
"Although the Meat Chunk is invincible, it has such a cowardly and incompetent original body."
"On the contrary, it has gained a huge weakness!"
"You mean?"
Bucciarati vaguely understood something. "A direct attack on the main body?"
"This still won't work!"
Fugo raised objections:
"Whenever this coward gets scared, his Stand will teleport to his side to protect him."
"That's teleportation!"
He looked around and sighed helplessly:
"Li Qing, you're the kind who uses his Riot Games, so there's no need to talk about you. Even if I were to stand face-to-face with Willy and attack with Purple Haze..."
"Although the time taken from summoning the substitute to releasing the poison mist is short, it is definitely enough for that Meat Chunk to teleport back!"
"That short time is simply not enough for us to kill the main body!"
"No."
"We don't need to kill the main body at all."
Giorno calmly interrupted Fugo's dejected remarks.
He glanced at Li Qing, who also remained calm, and then, with perfect understanding, explained the essence of the plan:
Have you forgotten?
"Willy cannot control his Stand; his Stand changes automatically as his original self comes into contact with other people."
"So, all we need to do is find someone who is completely unafraid of the Meat Chunk and let him 'touch' the main body."
