"King Crimson"
"Isn't it disgusting for a grown man to use 'cat' in his speech?"
"Heh heh, I won't listen!" Lu Guan, the Crownless, gave the middle finger, then slightly raised his head. "You can play with my friends for a bit while I go and do what I need to do!"
After saying that, he turned and left without looking back, activating his senses to search for Phrolova's figure in the vicinity.
"Damn it... you come back here!" The furious voice of the Jué rang out, but the Mahoraga gave it no chance at all, rushing straight to the face of the Crownless and kicking the Dreamless beside him flying.
Because of its two-dimensional nature, the Jué finds it difficult to use the martial arts He gained from "war" on His creations. Even in a two-on-one situation, He is overwhelmed by the Mahoraga.
The Jué was very frustrated.
He was born of war, and although cautious by nature, his desire for war and battle was stronger than anyone else's.
It's like a gourmet. At the beginning of the battle, Jué was enjoying delicious food, but after Lu Guan summoned Mahoraga, the food he was tasting turned into simple meals, which was still acceptable, since he wasn't picky about battles.
Lu Guan's series of attacks just now were like binding Him and forcibly stuffing a large, fermented pile of dog feces into His mouth, forcing Him to swallow it. How could He not break down?
The Jué is now powerless, as Lu Guan's abilities have completely restrained him. If one wants to learn from the battle with him, the first thing to do is to fight him. But the key is that Lu Guan doesn't fight him at all; he just drops a summoned creature and runs away.
Moreover, the summoned creature seemed tireless; as long as his attacks didn't completely annihilate it, it could regenerate indefinitely. Even though he was currently being attacked unilaterally, it was still adapting to his fighting style!
Seeing that his attacks were no longer effective against the seemingly invincible Mahoraga, the Jué had no choice but to resort to some power from beyond this world!
Seeing this, Lu Guan, who was searching for Phrolova, smiled slightly; his goal had been achieved...
Come on, let me see what you're hiding!
"You forced me to do this!" The furious voice of the Jué resounded from the sky. The purple aura of the "illusory moon" hanging in the sky intensified, and soon a light Retroact Rain began to fall.
Large and small Tacet Discord appeared in the rain, as if being manipulated, and began to form a peculiar formation under the control of the Jué.
"Formation..." Lu Guan frowned slightly. Although he had never read any military books, he could easily see the intentions of the Jué.
But what use is this formation of miscellaneous soldiers against a unit whose individual strength is enough to overwhelm it?
But Lu Guan soon paid the price for his thinking.
The moment the formation was completed, the echo energy on the Tacet Discord lit up, forming a strange Resonance Circuit. A huge, illusory figure appeared on the formation and threw a swift punch at Lu Guan.
"... Atalang!" After Lu Guan shouted these words, he got stuck in the spatial rift and dodged the attack.
The Jué had clearly developed some understanding and adaptation to Lu Guan's fighting style. He accepted the fact that Si Feng's Resonator was stuck in the wall again in just 0.01 seconds.
But... does this really work?
"Iku!" With a roar from the Jué, the illusory figure kicked Lu Guan out of the spatial rift, sending him plummeting straight onto the beach of Norfall Barrens.
This was the first time Lu Guan, a character known for his quirky mechanics, had his skill countered. Caught off guard, he took the full force of the kick and fell to the ground, feeling as if his entire body had fallen apart.
"Cough cough..." Lu Guan coughed up several pieces of bloody internal organs. He could feel that his condition was very bad. After all, no matter how much he strengthened his physique, he was still just a fragile person compared to the Jué.
"Oh, weren't you quite arrogant just now?" The Jué had clearly mastered the essence of Lu Guan's sarcasm. "How pathetic you are. In just a moment, your life was already a candle flickering in the wind..."
"Heh... let you be smug for a while." Lu Guan raised his head and pointed behind him with his thumb. "My family and friends are still waiting for me. I absolutely cannot fall now!"
With the activation of his resonance ability, Lu Guan's injuries healed rapidly, and his aura surged dramatically.
"Your failure to finish me off when I was off guard is the reason for your defeat!" Lu Guan smiled slightly, his eyes revealing boundless killing intent. "Now, it's round two."
"Hahaha... is that so..." The Jué laughed twice, as if a gourmet had discovered a treasure restaurant. "The reason for defeat? The battle has only just begun!"
How strong is Lu Guan's full power?
It depends on how rich his imagination is.
In the past, when facing enemies, he usually used some subtle and weak moves to assist him. Although he usually started with Hollow Technique "Zi", it was actually just his basic attack.
Facing an opponent who was putting immense pressure on him for the first time, Lu Guan knew he had to fight with absolute focus, or he might very well suffer a crushing defeat...
A piece of music with an unclear meaning began to play.
"This is a trial!" Lu Guan's voice was deep as he slowly walked towards the illusory figure while taking off his shirt. "I accept the trial to overcome the past..."
"Human growth is about overcoming the immature past!"
"You think so too, Jué!"
The voice of the Jué echoed from the heavens, "What do you mean? I don't understand a word you're saying!"
"Hehehe..." Lu Guan said with a laugh, "It's nothing, it's just that you have absolutely no chance of defeating me now..."
"King Crimson!"
King Crimson is the Stand of Diavolo, the final boss of Part 5, Golden Wind, in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. His abilities include "Epitaph," which allows him to predict the future, and "Time Erasure," which allows him to erase a period of time.
During the period when "Time Erasure" is in effect, everyone will mechanically and unconsciously perform their previous actions and will not remember anything that happened during this time...
In other words...
"... Attempting to challenge the gods!" The Jué froze after uttering these words. Why did his speech seem incoherent? There should have been another sentence before, but why couldn't he remember it?
A strange feeling began to spread in the heart of the Jué. He gazed at the man below through the illusory moon. The feeling he had just experienced was definitely not false; the man must have done something!
"Jué... do you know, the Retroact Rain might be an extremely troublesome problem for others, but for me..."
"With my background music playing, no one can defeat me. That's a huge boost for me!"
"Rainie Love (DJ Version)" is now live!
The weather outside the window~
Just like ~your ever-changing expressions~
It's raining, and the rain is crying with me.
I can't see it clearly, and I don't want to see it clearly either.
Leaving you, I quietly withdraw.
The plot is too painful to reveal~
My tears are hidden deep inside; I've learned to let go.
Listen to the sound of raindrops—each drop clear and distinct.
The Jué was greatly alarmed. Faced with the overwhelming aura of this man who seemed to have his own background music, He felt fear for the first time.
"There's no such battle at all!"
Lu Guan scoffed, "You're just scared!"
"Who the hell isn't afraid of that?"
How powerful is "Time Erasure" combined with a fully charged Hollow Technique "Zi"? Jué has experienced it firsthand.
In an instant, "King Crimson" activated again, and a fully charged Hollow Technique "Zi" was pressed directly into the chest of the illusory figure by Lu Guan, detonating inside its body.
"You bastard!" Jué's furious voice rang out. Although this move was not enough to destroy the phantom he had condensed with "military formation", it was extremely insulting, like someone throwing a firecracker in your mouth and then driving away.
"You've already broken through?" Lu Guan smiled slightly. "If this is all you're capable of, then I should probably end this pointless battle..."
"You brat, don't underestimate me!" The Jué solidified its illusory figure once more, this time wielding a battle blade, and slashed straight down at Lu Guan.
"King Crimson"!
How could Lu Guan, who possessed the "King Crimson," be hit by such a simple attack? He unleashed his power once more, casting "Spell Reversal - Azure" at the lower body of the illusory figure.
Although the illusory figure did not possess the Demon Orb, its repeated use of this highly humiliating attack completely drove the Jué to utter madness, "You damned bastard! I'll kill you!"
"Hehehe... Jué, you are nothing but a mortal born in an era without me..." Lu Guan stood in the air, looking down at the illusory figure. "If I had been born two hundred years earlier, the ' Battle of Clouded Cliffs ' would have been the time of your demise."
