From the curse back, I started to eat the clone's soft rice

It turned out that the stand power of the dark red area that just came from all directions was not released by Tokisaki Kurumi who was seriously injured by him, but by these...

Diablo didn't know how to describe these girls who not only looked the same, but also had exactly the same stand abilities. Faced with this terrifying scene, his pupils were trembling at this moment.

"What...what on earth is this? What on earth am I seeing?!"

"Am I dreaming, or is it her Stand ability that's causing me to hallucinate?!"

"No, that's impossible. The only one who can retain self-awareness and actions during the annihilated time should be me, Diablo!"

The dark red area seemed to have no end, and the ability to delete time was about to end.

In the giant barrier released by countless clones, Diablo no longer had any chance of escape.

As the time deletion ended, Diablo was instantly overwhelmed by an unprecedented feeling of weakness.

Da da da...

Countless footsteps approached from all directions. Diablo didn't know how many identical enemies he saw. Ten? Twenty? Or even more than a hundred?

After surrounding Diablo, these clones did not rush to attack, but instead made way for Tokisaki Kurumi's real body.

I saw Tokisaki Kurumi's real body slowly walking up to the injured clone, and a huge golden clock symbolizing the Emperor of Keke appeared behind her.

"Fourth Bullet."

The fourth scale on the clock lit up, and the dark red spiritual power gathered in the flintlock to form a bullet. Then, Tokisaki Kurumi's real body fired a shot at the clone in front of her without hesitation.

Instantly, both the broken heart and other injuries caused by Diablo's previous attack recovered as if time had gone back. The clone stood up again, looked at the original body with resentment, and then retreated among the clones.

After doing all this, Tokisaki Kurumi turned around and looked at Diablo, who had witnessed the whole scene with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"It seems that as the leader of the Passion Organization, Mr. Diablo doesn't seem to realize the true power of the Emperor of Kekeke. What a pity."

"What just happened...could it be..."

Recalling the scene where the injured Tokisaki Kurumi recovered as if time had gone back, Diablo, who was lying on the ground, spoke weakly, and a terrible guess emerged in his mind.

"That's right, the true ability of [Emperor Keke] is the ability to manipulate time."

Tokisaki Kurumi smiled and answered.

"It's not just about erasing time or predicting the future, but it's based on the twelve marks on a clock, each of which represents a different ability."

"Whether it's accelerating time, reversing time, or summoning clones of my past self from different timelines, these are all the powers of the Emperor of Keke."

"It turns out...that's how it is..."

The extremely terrifying speed that the opponent had displayed before was time acceleration, and the means of healing was time reversal, and the countless enemies that appeared in front of him were summoned past selves as clones.

So, this is the true nature of the other party's stand ability?

Diablo's eyes were filled with hesitation, but even if fate gave him a chance to start over, he probably still wouldn't guess the truth unless the other party took the initiative to tell him the ability of the Stand.

After all, even his own Crimson King only had two abilities: time deletion and predicting the future. Diablo would never have thought that there was such a person in this world whose stand had twelve different abilities.

Since the opponent's stand's true ability is to manipulate time, is this dark red area also a manifestation of some kind of time power?

"The ability of the Time-Gone City is to plunder time."

Considering that Diablo will be sent soon, Tokisaki Kurumi kindly reminded.

"By the way, the ability of Time-Eating Castle is not one of Keke Emperor's twelve abilities, but rather his fundamental ability. Using Keke Emperor's power comes at a huge cost. Each use consumes time, and if one doesn't want to waste their own time, they must plunder the time of others as a reserve."

"So, this is why you attacked the Passion Organization? Do you think of all of us as your food?"

"How much time have you already taken from others?!"

Diablo asked with resentment.

"Ah, it seems Mr. Diablo has misunderstood me. The reason I attacked the Passion Organization wasn't to buy time. After all, even if several Stand Users try to steal time, the time they can gain is limited."

The reason why Tokisaki Kurumi attacked the Stand User of the Passion Organization was very pure from the beginning to the end, which was simply to contribute some insignificant points to her master.

As for how much time was actually taken?

"Do you remember how many slices of bread you've eaten, Mr. Diablo?"

Just like that, Diablo's figure slowly sank into the shadow of the City of Time, and Tokisaki Kurumi's real body also retracted all the clones and walked out of the base.

"With this, the Passion Organization has been completely dealt with. Now it all depends on whether anything unexpected happens to Miss Sakuya."

However, since he successfully dealt with Diablo, there shouldn't be any problems with Sakuya Izayoi.

After all, according to the setting of destiny in the JOJO world, Diablo, who has not abandoned the state of two souls in one body, should not be defeated at all.

Only after losing his identity as a two-faced emperor with two souls in one body, Diablo would lose the favor of fate and fall into an unfavorable situation. Now that Diablo has been successfully solved by himself, it undoubtedly shows that the fate of the JOJO world is just as Anxiu guessed, and cannot affect Anxiu who is equipped with a system and their materialized clones.

Without the intervention of fate, Kurumi Tokisaki could not imagine that Polnareff and Jotaro Kujo had any possibility of keeping the Insect Arrow in front of Sakuya Izayoi.

"In that case, let's go back to the manor and wait for good news from Miss Sakuya."

Without Miss Izayoi Sakuya by his side, the master must have felt a bit lonely staying in the manor.

The clones left in the manor cannot serve the master well, so the original body has to take action personally.

"Don't forget about us, you can't eat alone!"

The voice of the clone came from Tokisaki Kurumi's mind.

"That's right, and it's time to replace the clones that accompany the master in the manor. I took the knife this time to accompany the original master in a play, so I want to be the first one!"

“I want to be the second one!”

"Then I'll be the third one."

"Ah, I really want to be ravaged by my master..."

In an instant, Tokisaki Kurumi's ears became a mess. All the clones were talking to each other, and even quarreled for the spot to take the blame.

After all, the emotions of all clones are one-way communicated with the original Tokisaki Kurumi, that is, the emotions of the clones will not affect Tokisaki Kurumi's original body if they are out of sync, but the emotions of Tokisaki Kurumi's original body will be automatically synchronized to the clones.

As the clone manifested by Anshu, Tokisaki Kurumi's original body is absolutely loyal to Anshu. Naturally, all the clones summoned by Tokisaki Kurumi are also Anshu's loyal dogs, and obeying Anshu is even more important than obeying the orders of Tokisaki Kurumi's original body.

And depending on the emotions of the clones when Kurumi Tokisaki manifests them, there will be some clones whose XP is a little strange because of the thoughts in their minds during the corresponding time period.

It can be said that although they are essentially the same person, different avatars bring different feelings.

Annoyed by the noise of her clone, Kurumi Tokisaki immediately quickened her pace to return to the manor.

......

At the same time, in Rome.

Jotaro Kujo, dressed in white, stood in front of a dilapidated building, comparing the photos in his hands, and then took a deep breath.

"It seems that this is it."

The hiding place of his best friend, Polnareff.

Chapter 148: Polnareff's surprise, Sakuya Izayoi arrives

Looking at the dilapidated building in front of him, and after confirming that it was the same as the photo in his hand that showed the hiding place of his companion Polnareff, Jotaro lowered the brim of his hat and walked into the building.

At the same time, in the gloomy, dark, and small house, some empty cans and pizza boxes were scattered on the ground.

In the room, in front of the only light source, a middle-aged man with silver-gray hair who did not look very well, was sitting in front of a computer.

The slightly shrunken body vaguely shows the once strong and sturdy muscles, but unfortunately they have gradually disappeared due to long-term malnutrition. Both legs and one arm are equipped with prosthetic limbs. At the same time, one eye is blind. The remaining eye is now staring at the computer screen in front of him, browsing the content on it.

"Tsk, looks like today is also going to be a fruitless day?"

After checking the page in front of him, Polnareff couldn't help but say with some disappointment when he found that the secret door he left behind had not been triggered by anyone.

Ever since he was severely injured by Diablo while tracking down the whereabouts of the arrow many years ago and barely managed to escape with his life, Polnareff, who has been stranded in a foreign country, has been in a dilemma where he can neither contact his companions nor escape because all his means of communication with the outside world have been controlled by the Zealous Organization.

Fortunately, Polnareff had learned some programming skills. With the help of this ability, he could take on some work on the Internet from time to time, so he would not starve to death without a source of income.

Of course, it just means they won't starve to death. Their quality of life is very poor, and they often have to eat expired, moldy, and spoiled food to barely fill their stomachs.

No normal person could endure such a day for a week, but Polnareff has persisted for several years.

"When will someone who can stand up to Diablo appear? Is there really no hope?"

There was a flicker of resentment in Polnareff's eyes.

But soon, this unwillingness was covered by vigilance.

Because at this moment, footsteps were heard in the corridor outside Polnareff's room.

somebody is coming?

After hearing the sound clearly, Polnareff's face immediately showed a strong sense of vigilance.

You know, in order to avoid being discovered by the enthusiastic organization, the location of the old apartment where he was hiding was very remote, and under normal circumstances no one would come here.

Someone suddenly broke in. Could it be Diablo's minions?!

The footsteps were getting closer, and they were heading straight for the room where Polnareff was hiding. Realizing that he had to make a decision as soon as possible, Polnareff gritted his teeth and pushed the wheelchair quietly to the door.

After a moment, the footsteps stopped in front of the door, followed by a knock.

"who is it?"

Although he was sure that no one would normally come to the apartment where he was hiding, in order to avoid even the one in ten thousand chance of accidental injury, Polnareff gave up the idea of ​​a sneak attack after hesitating for a moment and took the initiative to ask.

However, what Polnareff didn't expect was that a familiar voice sounded outside the door.

"It's me, Polnareff."

"Jo...Jotaro?"

Hearing the voice coming from outside the door, which undoubtedly belonged to his best friend, Polnareff's eyes flashed with excitement, but in the next moment he revealed a more vigilant look.

"No, I haven't contacted Jotaro at all. Why would he suddenly come to a place like this to find me?"

"Is it some kind of Stand ability that can cause auditory hallucinations? Don't think I'll be fooled, Silver Chariot!"

Whoosh!

As Polnareff shouted, a silver stand in armor appeared behind him, and the rapier in his hand pierced straight out of the door at a speed invisible to the naked eye, accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air.

It can be said that Jotaro Kujo's voice not only made Polnareff let down his guard, but made him completely certain of the existence of enemies outside the door.

The fragile wooden door was instantly shattered into pieces by Silver Chariot's sword, but the next second, a familiar substitute firmly grasped the sword in Silver Chariot's hand.

"Star...Platinum?"

Looking at the familiar stand and feeling the genuinely powerful force coming from the other side of the sword, Polnareff was dumbfounded.

"Yeah yeah yeah..."

Jotaro Kujo, who had already retreated a few steps at some point, saw this scene and controlled Star Platinum to release the weapon in Silver Chariot's hand.

"Sorry, Polnareff, I'm late."

This time, Polnareff finally stopped doubting, but he still found the situation before him unbelievable. After all, happiness came too suddenly, and he was ready to fight alone and even die in Italy.

"Jotaro...is it really you? How did you find this place?!"

Polnareff didn't know how to describe his feelings. Excitement, joy, relief? All of these emotions were present, but the biggest factor was undoubtedly the sense of relief at no longer having to fight alone, with his once most reliable companion back by his side.

"Someone contacted me and informed me of your situation and approximate whereabouts. Then I used the old man's stand ability to find this place."

Jotaro Kujo replied.

"The situation here is very complicated right now. There are Stand users who can predict the future, descendants of DIO, Stands with the same ability to stop time as DIO, and the Passionate Organization. It's very dangerous for you to stay here in your current physical condition. I will arrange for someone to escort you away as soon as possible."

Seeing his former comrades again and witnessing Polnareff's miserable condition, it was natural for Jotaro Kujo to feel emotional.

But he knew that now was not the time for him and Polnareff to chat and reminisce. On the contrary, their current situation was extremely dangerous. A powerful Stand user, who was not sure whether he was a friend or foe, was lurking in the dark, and even he felt the pressure.

But these words left Polnareff dumbfounded.

"A person who can predict the future? A descendant of DIO? A Stand that can stop time just like DIO?"

Damn it, he just hid for a few years, how come the situation outside has become so different that he doesn’t even recognize it?

Indeed, compared to what Jotaro Kujo said, the matters concerning the Passion Organization can be put aside for a moment.

Obviously, both of them didn't know that the current Passion Organization had been destroyed by Tokisaki Kurumi, and even the leader of the organization, Diablo, had been imprisoned in the shadow space, trapped in a situation where he could neither live nor die.

"By the way, I've discovered a special arrow over the years. Unlike ordinary arrows, this arrow seems to be able to elevate the Stand to another new level. I'll go get it."

Pushing the wheelchair to a corner of the room, Polnareff carefully took out the insect arrows he had hidden.

"Is this a bug arrow?"
