Dio: "Knock on Dio!" (83k)
Chapter 498 Dio: "Kuno Dioga!" (8.3k)
Did he move just now?
Dio quickly looked at Roy, but saw that his whole body was still stiff, locked in the paused time and motionless. Even the solemn light in his eyes did not dissipate at all, and the focus was not on him. It didn't look like he could move in the paused time at all.
"What? It's an illusion."
Dio was relieved, and a helpless and proud smile appeared on his face.
"It seems that I was shocked by his burst of strength just now. I subconsciously feel that it is not strange for this guy to move without stagnation in the paused time. However, it is just an illusion caused by the subconscious. Even if he is the so-called strongest in the world, he is still so powerless in front of my 'world'!"
"However, we can't be careless. It seems that there are people in Shueisha who can stop time. Although the length of time they can stop is far less than mine, they are still able to stand at the same level as me. Although we don't know who it is, we can't rule out the possibility that it is this guy..."
There are people in Shueisha who can stop time. This is what Dio discovered in the past six months.
There are heroes belonging to Shueisha who have used time stop when facing monsters, and Dio noticed it.
Although it is still impossible to lock in who in Shueisha is the one who can stop time, by watching the news to filter out which city's Shueisha heroes are fighting when the time is stopped, Dio basically ruled out the possibility that Roy is the one who can stop time.
But it is only a basic exclusion. Dio still can't be sure that Roy will definitely not stop time. He still chooses to be cautious against the enemy.
"Hmph, just in case, I'll just stand far away and attack!"
Dio convinced himself and took another big step back, pulling away from Roy. Light balls kept condensing in his palms, and in the blink of an eye, there were more than a thousand of them.
With more than a thousand light balls gathered together, he could kill even a dragon-level monster who was good at defense instantly with this move, and blast it to ashes!
The "god" seemed to be particularly optimistic about him and gave him a huge amount of power. He could even break the shield of the trembling tornado with this move. He was confident that even the energy protection layer on Roy's body, which looked very hard, would definitely not be able to block this move!
"Go to hell, Roy!"
Dio grinned, and the light ball in his palm drew a thick arc. With a bang, he rushed straight towards Roy on the opposite side with an unstoppable momentum.
At the same time, Dio's eyes were also locked on Roy. As long as he made a move, indicating that he could move during the pause time, he would turn around and run!
But at this moment, Roy still did not move.
A confident smile gradually appeared on Dio's face.
The next moment, a shadow swaying like a flame suddenly appeared from Roy's body, and in the blink of an eye, it condensed into a huge figure over three meters tall, blocking Roy in front of him.
Thousands of light balls hit him almost at the same time, but they did not even break his skin, so he did not retreat a step. He stood there like nothing happened, blocking all the attacks of the light balls like an indestructible shield.
After a round of crazy attacks, the figure was unscathed. The figure, which was far from being tall, was like a giant standing tall, and took on everything alone.
"Substitute?!"
Dio was shocked and exclaimed.
The figure looked more than three meters tall, with a human-like appearance. There were no eyeballs but two pairs of wings spread out for flight. There was a magic circle like a rudder on the top of the head, and a slender magic-breaking sword extended from the back of the right hand. It looked quiet, but it seemed full of hidden dangers.
Dio looked over and thought it was a stand-in. He thought Roy had been to his world without his knowledge and got the "arrow" from his world, thus awakening the power of the stand, or even a time-based stand, a stand that could move freely in his time pause. He couldn't help but take a step back and wanted to run away.
"No, that shouldn't be a stand-in!"
But then, Dio narrowed his eyes, stopped thinking about running away, and his eyes fell on Roy, who was still motionless behind the figure.
"If that's a stand, and a stand that can move freely even when I pause time, then he should be able to move freely now!"
The power of a stand will protect its owner, just like Dio. After the "world" stopped time, he was able to move freely under the protection of the stand's power. If Roy also has a stand that pauses time, then he should be able to move freely now.
It doesn't make sense to say that he is pretending to be unable to move freely. If he can move freely, it means that he is not restricted by the power of the "world" at all. With that amazing strength, he can be easily defeated. There is no reason to pretend to be unable to move!
"In other words, he himself did not break through the time pause, but he has a pet that can break through the time pause, similar to a stand!"
Dio's mind turned very quickly. In just two or three seconds, he saw through the secret, and a proud smile reappeared on his face.
"Humph, I was really scared. I thought he could really move freely. That's right. If he could move freely in the time pause, I would be dead now. But this pet is also quite troublesome. It seems that the defense is far superior to that of ordinary dragon-level monsters. But this is just a small matter. If the power is not enough, just increase the firepower!"
Dio shouted and opened his arms. With a series of buzzing sounds, thousands of light balls appeared in the air above his head, and then quickly gathered into a huge light ball with a diameter of more than ten meters!
The light ball is the ability given to him by "God". He does not need to pay energy or consume physical strength. He only needs to wave a stick like a conductor to control the appearance, fusion, turning, attack, etc. of those light balls, just like the baton in the orchestra. Dio guessed that those light balls themselves consumed the energy stored by "God" in a different space. "God" only gave him the right to freely control those energies. Humph, sooner or later he will use this energy of "God" for his own use!
These light balls, even if they are just a small one, have the power to kill a ghost-level monster head-on. When they burst out, they can easily smash a building. Thousands of them merge together, and the destructive power is immeasurable!
At this time, most of the time of time suspension has passed.
In his "world", the maximum time of time suspension is nine seconds. Originally, it can only be stopped for five seconds, but the after-sales service of "God" is very good, so that his spirit is completely matched with the body of the stolen Da Qiao, thus reaching the limit of nine seconds of time suspension.
Now the time suspension has passed for seven seconds.
Incredibly, although he said a lot of words during the time suspension, it seemed that it did not affect the time consumption of the time suspension at all, as if the commentary was just something that happened and ended in an instant.
"I will use this blow to kill you without leaving any residue!"
Dio laughed grimly, and his raised arms suddenly pressed down.
A huge ball of light suddenly fell from the sky like a spirit bomb, hitting Moxu Luo and Roy behind him. The ball of light looked small, but it exuded a destructive power, as if it was enough to destroy City A from the map.
Moxu Luo wanted to take the huge ball of light head-on.
When Roy had smashed those balls of light with his fists before, he had already adapted to this kind of attack with Roy's help. Even if he took it head-on with his body, it would not hurt.
But he looked back and saw the figure of his master Roy. He paused for a moment, but still raised his right hand and slashed the air with the sword of breaking the magic.
The huge sword energy instantly crossed the sky, cutting the light ball with a diameter of only ten meters like cutting sesame seeds, turning it into two hemispheres of equal size. The huge sword energy hundreds of meters long broke through the clouds in the blink of an eye and disappeared outside the atmosphere.
Moxu Luo looked at the sky quietly, and even Dio was too lazy to look at it.
His strongest point is that he can constantly adapt to various phenomena and surpass them with his own means. When facing a strong man of the space system, he can adapt to the distortion of space or perform a space slash. When facing a strong man of the time system, he can also adapt to the time pause, or even cut off the time pause!
The angles of adaptation are diverse. After completing each adaptation, he can proceed to the next one. For example, when facing Gojo Satoru who has no lower limit, he can first adapt to his "infinity" and perform a blow that is not blocked by his infinity. He can also adapt from the perspective of space slash, and performing a space slash can also break his no lower limit. This is the second method of adaptation.
The type of adaptation angle depends on his own means of attack. His means of attack is a sword, and he can also use fists and other melee, so he can use the magic-breaking sword to perform a space slash, or he can use fists to perform a space shatter.
But he cannot copy the no lower limit.
After Roy learned from Joseph that Dio might be in this world, he immediately found Yachiho and Himanrin from the Magic Defense Team and asked them to train with him, who also had time-related abilities, so that Mokoro could break through the time pause.
Because both of them could go back in time, and even after this training, Mokoro had already broken through the time reversal!
The problem is that the way Mokoro broke through the time pause and time reversal was evolved automatically by himself to adapt to the time ability. It was his own ability, not Roy's ability.
If Roy wants to copy his coping method, he must first have similar attack methods.
For example, Mokoro learned the space slash in the battle with Izumo Tenka. The attack method is slashing. Roy himself has a slashing technique that can expand the slashing object into the space itself, imitating Mokoro to perform the space slash.
But Moxu Luo broke through the time pause by relying on his body, his characteristics, and his body itself evolving. Roy himself does not have this characteristic - his own adaptation is to adapt to the rules of different worlds, not to adapt to different phenomena - because he does not have Moxu Luo's special body, Roy cannot break through the time pause by himself.
Of course, Moxu Luo has also learned to cut off the time pause. Roy can also imitate Moxu Luo to cut off the time pause by expanding the object of the slashing technique to time. This is not easy for him, but it is not impossible to assist with the reverse moon magic eye that can strengthen the technique.
But he himself is in the time pause and can't do anything at all. How to cut off the time pause?
How to break through the time pause?
Then cut off the time pause!
But my time is suspended, how to cut it off?
You can cut off the time pause by cutting off the time pause!
You will fall into this dead loop like a certain emoticon package.
So at this moment, Roy has indeed been frozen by Dio's time pause. Not only his body, but also his thoughts are frozen. He can't move a bit until time is unpaused.
Of course, Roy's own vitality is terrifyingly tenacious. Not only is his defense extremely amazing, but his own body's regeneration ability is also terrifying. He even set up a "automatic repair when destroyed" program for his cells. Even if his brain is destroyed and loses the ability to think, the body will automatically start the repair program. In other words, unless he is killed in an instant without even a cell left, even if time is paused, the enemy cannot kill him.
But if someone dares to do this, it will definitely wake up Tiamat who is sleeping in his soul. Once Tiamat wakes up, the enemy will immediately understand how heavy his mother's love is.
He cannot be killed without destroying all his cells, and once all his cells are destroyed, Tiamat will be immediately stimulated. In this way, it will fall into a dead loop again.
Moreover, even if all his cells were destroyed, as long as his soul was still there, Tiamat could still mold his body out of his soul.
In other words, unless the enemy was much stronger than Tiamat, and being a little stronger would not help, Roy could teleport back to the world channel as soon as he was resurrected, and then escape back to the Type-Moon world, but he still couldn't kill him. So unless the enemy was so strong that he could kill Tiamat in one move, leaving her no time to mold Roy out again, it would be meaningless.
Roy's immortality was already perfect in a world like One Punch Man, and no one could kill him.
Even if the protagonist Saitama was still at home and could blow up Tiamat with one punch, as long as he didn't realize that he had to kill the soul to kill Roy, Saitama couldn't kill him.
Dio certainly couldn't do it.
Especially at this moment.
Under the dark night, Moxu Luo cut off the big ball of light with a sword, and the sword energy rushed into the sky. The huge sword energy cut off some invisible shackles as if it could break through anything.
There seemed to be a clear sound of breaking, and the world that was forced to pause resumed its flow.
In Roy's eyes, this was just a momentary change. Dio suddenly appeared in front of him from the smoke and dust, with a smile as stiff as a wax figure on his face.
Moxu Luo made way, stood aside, and raised his arm to Roy.
As if to say, please.
"Well done, Moxu Luo!"
Roy burst into laughter. Although he was sure that he would not lose to Dio, it was a question of how much Dio's light ball could break his body magic, not to mention that he was blasted to the point where there was no cell left, or even destroyed his soul.
But Moxu Luo broke through the time pause so easily, Roy was still right about him. It was a great decision to trade him from Fushiguro Megumi!
On the opposite side, Dio saw Roy recover from the time stop, his face was unbelievable, and he turned around and wanted to escape.
Just like an overheated gun barrel needs time to cool down, his "world" also needs a certain amount of breathing time. Only after this breathing time can he continue to activate the time stop.
But even if he can activate the time stop, he doesn't know how to deal with Roy's pet.
Not only can he move freely in the time stop, but he can even cut off the time stop with a sword. This is an ability that Dio has never seen before!
Roy didn't give him this opportunity at all. He stepped on the ground and instantly came behind Dio with the shrinking footwork. He pushed out a palm, and the invisible slash surged from the palm, covering the back of Dio's head.
Dio heard the wind behind his head, and cold sweat broke out on his face. He knew it was bad, but he still struggled to death. In an instant, he summoned a golden phantom and punched Roy.
Roy's face did not change. He spit out his palm and slashed instantly. Countless slashes whistled out crosswise, cutting the golden phantom "world" into countless pieces from front to back.
Dio's eyes widened with reluctance. The injuries of the substitute would return to the original body. His body was torn into pieces in the blink of an eye, like a piece of pork.
"I Dio! I actually-"
Before he finished speaking, his body was scattered into pieces of meat and fell to the ground, sticking there.
But this still couldn't kill him. The constitution of a vampire made his body cells instinctively wriggle, trying to piece together into their original shape.
Roy immediately stretched out his hand, and the flame spell condensed in his palm, ready to burn Dio to ashes.
But the next moment, he suddenly saw Dio's body shrivel up quickly, like a corpse exposed in the wilderness, drying up quickly. In less than a breath, his body lost all moisture and turned into a mummy.
Immediately afterwards, when the evening breeze blew, his mummy turned into ashes, which drifted away with the evening breeze, flying all over the sky.
Before Roy could do anything, Dio's ashes had already been scattered.
"What happened?"
Roy was stunned for a moment.
Dio was a vampire after all, how could his body turn into a mummy so easily?
Not to mention drying up in one breath, if he just left it alone, he could stand up again after a while, laugh and stop the time again.
How could a vampire's body, which had even adapted to the sunlight with the help of "God", dry up in one breath...
Wait, "God"?
Isn't this sign of drying up in an instant exactly the same as Wandering Emperor's death?
Because Wandering Emperor wanted to reveal something about "God", the angry "God" drained his power and his body quickly turned into a mummy in a very short time.
Dio's death was exactly the same as Wandering Emperor's!
"You are very strong, much stronger than I thought."
At this time, a voice full of emotion came from behind Roy. It was a female voice, and it sounded quite familiar.
But in Roy's ears, this voice was somehow stained with a strange inorganic texture, as if it was evil.
Roy turned around and saw Fubuki in a black dress standing behind him.
It was as if she had sent Tornado to the hospital and came back to watch the battle.
But Roy understood.
This person was not Fubuki at all. He just borrowed Fubuki's image and projected himself in front of Roy's spirit.
That's right, it was just a spirit, without substance at all. Because He deliberately let Roy see Him, only Roy could see Him now, just like the original source.
He is——
"You can call me 'God'."
The figure in the shell of Fubuki introduced himself in this way. His voice was inorganic with evil aura. As soon as he heard it, he knew that He was definitely not human.
"Dio is the apostle on Earth that I chose, but he seems to have some ambitions that he shouldn't have. He secretly developed a large number of vampires and seemed to be studying the changes in the nature of vampires and monsters to avoid the physique I gave him. I'm afraid he wants to get away from me one day."
God used the shell of Fubuki to talk to Roy.
I see.
Dio developed a large number of vampires. Is this his purpose?
A man like Dio would never willingly submit to someone else, not to mention that this person was secretly holding his weak spot - God gave him the ability to walk under the sun, and he was afraid that he could take back this ability at any time. He recognized this and wanted to avoid God by studying the existence of monsters, and walk under the sun with his own ability.
"So, the dignified 'God' appeared in front of me, what's the matter?"
Roy looked at the god calmly, his tone was not moved at all, neither afraid nor excited.
Compared with Tiamat, it is unknown who is stronger.
However, even if He is stronger than Tiamat, He cannot appear on Earth directly. His true body was blocked by Blast and his alien companions in other dimensions, and he can only come to Earth with his spirit. The interference he can make on Earth is very limited. At most, he can only spread his "angel" or seduce the people he values. He cannot take action directly, so Roy is not afraid of Him.
"I'm here to invite you. You're much stronger than Dio. Come be my apostle!"
The God reached out to Roy with the shell of blowing snow.
"You are a person who cares about your own strength. As long as you become my apostle, I will give you powerful strength, which will definitely be much stronger than now. By then, even if you rule the world and become the strongest person on earth, it will be easy!"
The tone of God seemed to be kind, and he invited Roy very sincerely.
After the voice fell, He kept staring at Roy, without urging him, waiting for his answer as if to show his patience.
"How long have you not paid attention to the earth?"
Under His gaze, Roy pulled the corner of his lips and asked instead of answering.
"?"
The God seemed to have a little doubt.
Roy smiled and looked at this God.
"This earth has long been different from the earth in the past. Have you noticed this?"
"... I know a little."
He nodded, knowing a little, but not much.
After all, He is not always paying attention to the Earth. He can only understand the Earth to a limited extent through the connection with the Apostles. But even from Dio, He knows that the Earth has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past two years.
"Do you know how many "gates" are connected to other worlds on this Earth?"
"..."
The God was silent.
He knew a little about the situation on Earth, but he knew nothing about how many worlds there were with this side. At most, he only knew one world, Dio, and nothing else.
"Don't you know?"
Roy sighed, with a look of disappointment on his face.
"Although I don't think you know, in short, the Earth now is not the Earth you knew at the beginning. Ruling the world is of no benefit to me, and it is not difficult. I can do it without you. Becoming the strongest on Earth, isn't it?"
If Saitama was there, Roy certainly wouldn't dare to call himself the strongest.
But without Saitama, Roy can still be called the king.
The future Garou may be able to challenge him, but he himself is not without improvement. By then, even if it is the peak Garou, or even the universe Garou of God Gold Hee Hee, it is still unclear whether he can defeat him.
As for Blast, his ability to control space is strong, but he couldn't even kill the centipede elder on the spot, and let it escape with serious injuries. From this point, it can be seen that his output is quite limited.
Even if he can control space, does that mean Roy's shrinking the earth and space slash are weak?
Moreover, doesn't he still have the Moxu Luo who can adapt to everything?
Let Moxu Luo fight with Blast, and Moxu Luo will definitely evolve again. Roy can't copy his time ability, but he can still copy a lot of space ability. By then, his strength may be improved!
"...You want to reject me?"
God's voice suddenly sank, as if he was very unhappy.
"You understand correctly, I just want to reject you."
Roy smiled and said calmly.
"You don't think your temptation is very attractive? Just look at it, I am from another world, can your power allow me to mobilize it in other worlds? There is no way, right? Isn't that pure chicken ribs?"
God's light ball ability allows the apostles to borrow the energy He puts in the other dimension and then use it. Depending on the apostles' qualifications and the degree to which He is willing to lend, the apostles can exert different powers.
If he remembered correctly, God can also give the apostles "supernatural powers"?
It is this magical power that allows Garou to evolve into the universe form of God Jin Xixi. Of course, this is also based on the fact that Garou has strong qualifications. The magical power is just the trigger for Garou to evolve.
"But these are just minor issues. You call yourself a 'god'. The most annoying thing about you is that even if you can give power to others, you will take back that power as you wish, right?"
Roy smiled, but he looked like he was smiling, but there was no smile on his face.
"Dio was given power by you, but the reason why he dried up quickly just now was because you took that power away, right? Tell me, who would be willing to join you, a god like you who has no manners and talks to himself?"
When he is useful, he will be accepted as an apostle.
When he is not useful, he will drain his power and turn him into a mummy.
Even the root will not do such a tasteless thing!
Dio was right to be wary of this god, but it was a pity that he died before he could swing his iron fist at the god. He was defeated by Roy and was drained by the god.
"Human, you are so brave!"
The god suddenly sneered, and his tone became very impatient, as if he was irritated.
"Dare to refuse the invitation from the god, you'd better remember it, there will be a lot of time for you to regret it later!"
The moment the voice fell, Fubuki's figure faded like a mirage.
After being rejected, the god was angry and withdrew his spiritual body in the blink of an eye.
"You still call yourself a god."
Roy curled his lips, his expression full of sneers.
"You don't even have a little self-restraint. Even the water snake god at the beginning is more like a god than you. You are really a third-rate hairy god with no manners at all!"
Roy sneered, turned around and disappeared on the spot.
Soon after he disappeared, a space door opened on the spot, and a black-haired middle-aged uncle wearing high-tech armor and sunglasses walked out anxiously. Seeing that there was no one here, he was slightly startled and scratched the back of his head in confusion.
"I rushed back to Earth after sensing the arrival of 'God', but there was no one there... This means that the person rejected God's invitation, which is great. I don't have to do extra work. I wonder how the Hero Association is doing now?"
…………
A great war ended. All the defeated S-class heroes, including Tornado, were sent to the hospital by the pseudo-bodies that rushed over. There were still a large number of pseudo-bodies on the spot to carry out disaster relief.
Roy quickly came to the hospital and checked Bang and others' bodies. He found that the granulation was still there, but it had lost its activity. Although it would not be a big problem if it was left alone, for safety reasons, Roy still took action and pulled out all the granulation on everyone's body.
"I owe you another big favor!"
Bang came back to his senses and thanked Roy with emotion, with a strong sense of shame in his expression.
He was not controlled for a long time and was in good spirits.
On the beds next to him, the faces of S-class heroes who had been controlled for more than nine months, such as Atomic Samurai, Flash Flash, etc., were all ugly.
"Thank you very much."
Although the S-class heroes looked unhappy, they still sincerely thanked Roy for saving them from the clutches of the devil.
"The Hero Association is going to fall."
Then, Roy's first words shocked everyone.
"It has developed to this point, and the Hero Association can't stand alone. Of course, I don't deny that I added fuel to the fire and made it burn more vigorously. In short, from now on, it will be the era of Shueisha."
"If you remember my kindness, then join my Shueisha... Of course, I will also select people. For someone like you, you will never think of joining Shueisha!"
Roy glanced at the sexy prisoner and saw that he kept flirting with him. He was so disgusted that he almost vomited the overnight meal.
For the heroes, switching from the Hero Association to Shueisha is not a big problem. The Hero Association is just a convenient platform for them. They don't have much feelings for the Hero Association. Since Shueisha is better than the Hero Association, it is not a problem to change a boss.
Roy had saved their lives, and Bang was also trying his best to persuade them. After a while of hesitation, several S-class heroes agreed to join and try it out. As long as there were no problems, they would stay.
Considering the personalities of these people, this result was already good.
Roy immediately used his ability to heal the injuries of several people, allowing them to be discharged from the hospital and go through the withdrawal procedures as soon as possible. This move made several people admire him and also felt a sense of identity with the unfamiliar Shueisha.
The sexy prisoner was left alone in the hospital with a confused look on his face.
After digging into the Hero Association, Roy came to another ward.
Tornado was lying on the bed in this ward, her eyes closed and she was unconscious, her whole body was wrapped in bandages, and Fubuki was sitting beside the bed worriedly, watching her closely.
