"His heart isn't beating. This guy is completely dead."
Inside the video, Dio slowly stood up from the ground. Just as he was about to kill Polnareff, he heard a sound coming from Jotaro's side, so he quickly checked if Jotaro was dead.
Using a gun, listening for breathing, and just now, listening for a heartbeat.
"It seems my feeling that he was still alive was just a misconception." Dio picked up the nearby circular road sign again, looked at Jotaro, and continued, "Just in case, I should cut off his head. Only then can I be completely at ease."
Saying this, Dio looked at Jotaro and said with a smile, "Right, Jotaro!"
"..."
Jotaro remained silent. Star Platinum stretched out its hand and quickly pressed against his heart, making the blood flow rapidly.
"Hmph!"
Dio swung down the circular road sign in his hand, accompanied by a sharp sound.
"Nani!!!!!" Dio cried out in extreme surprise. He then saw Star Platinum, looking ferocious and raising its fist, and panicked, shouting, "Time, stop!!! Za Warudo!!"
At this moment, Dio wanted to imitate the 'surprise attack' he had just suffered from Polnareff, quickly using the time-stopping ability to escape his dangerous situation.
Unfortunately, even though time was stopped, Star Platinum's fist still successfully struck him on the forehead.
"That really took some effort." Facing this scene, Jotaro naturally felt relieved and said, "Even if you stop time, I will still smash your brains out, Dio!"
As soon as those words fell, the scene switched.
Star Platinum's fist destroyed Dio's skull. The most conspicuous detail was... a heart-shaped skull on Dio's forehead.
"Wh—What!! How could this be!!!" Dio felt an immense force shatter his brain.
"ora—!!!!"
Star Platinum didn't hesitate, heavily punching Dio and sending him flying!
"Finally."
Jotaro stood up, clutching his arm, and looked at the flying Dio. He said seriously, "Finally, I landed a punch on his head."
"But Dio is a monster who lived for a hundred years at the bottom of the sea. He shouldn't die just like this; I can't relax yet."
Saying this, Jotaro looked to the side, where two buckets were placed, seemingly meant for holding water.
"Bang—!!!"
Dio landed heavily on the ground, blood spurting from his head. He looked at Jotaro with terrifying eyes, clutching his bleeding head, and said chillingly, "I will kill you!!!"
Dio wanted to Stand up at this moment, but although he had the thought, he couldn't actually rise and instead slumped to the side.
He looked extremely disheveled.
Dio looked at his legs and exclaimed in shock, "Wh—What is going on? How is this possible? My legs... my legs have no strength, I can't Stand up."
"My head hurts terribly... and, and I feel nauseous. What kind of joke is this? I, the great Dio, actually feel sick!"
"My head was damaged, and now I can't even Stand."
Dio felt an immense sense of crisis. In his current state, he couldn't fight at all. Jotaro could easily kill him.
'Damn it! I need to figure out something right now.'
Dio thought this internally, and then gasoline poured down, causing him to look to the side.
Jotaro slowly walked over. He looked at Dio and said calmly, "I'll drench you in gasoline so I can find you by the smell. Kicking a man when he's down usually makes one feel a little regretful."
"No, I feel absolutely no remorse."
Jotaro casually tossed aside the gasoline-filled bucket. He looked at the extremely battered Dio and said calmly, "Because of you, my comrades, and even many innocent people, have died."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jotaro pulled out a lighter and, without another word, lit it, clearly intending to ignite the gasoline on Dio.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!"
Dio laughed uncontrollably.
In fact, at this point, everyone watching the video had no idea how Dio could possibly turn the tables.
At close range, the opponent was severely injured, especially after Jotaro had fallen earlier.
No ordinary people were nearby. The only person whose blood he could possibly suck was the unconscious Polnareff lying next to him.
However, to suck Polnareff's blood, he would first have to get past Jotaro.
But given the current situation, Jotaro stood there like an invincible God of War, while Dio lay on the ground, unable even to Stand up.
Under these circumstances, Dio was actually still laughing. Did he perhaps have a way to escape?
Inside the video, Dio continued to laugh maniacally. Then, a car drove up from a nearby street. He spread his arms and shouted loudly, "Za Warudo!!"
"!!!"
The moment he saw the car, Jotaro's eyes slightly widened, and he quickly stepped forward.
But it was already too late. When Dio shouted "Za Warudo," time stopped.
Although Jotaro could move slightly in the time-stopped environment, it was only a tiny movement.
"To that spot... as long as I can reach that spot." Dio started moving, crawling toward the car.
Outside the video, in the JOJO World.
"Bang—!!" Seeing his 'self' crawling on the ground in the video, Dio looked exceptionally furious.
He, Dio, was the Perfect Being, the strongest existence in this world, whom no one could defeat.
After acquiring The World, Dio thought this even more strongly.
But now, after Jotaro gained the ability to stop time, he used strategy to force Dio into a desperate situation.
"Absolutely, I cannot let him live." Dio's eyes were filled with killing intent. He looked at Jotaro, frozen in stopped time, wishing he could rush into the video and kill him.
Fortunately, although the opponent was Jonathan's descendant, he hadn't learned Hamon/ripple like that old man Joseph.
If his Star Platinum had learned Hamon/ripple, then... Cold sweat inexplicably broke out on Dio's forehead at the thought. He wouldn't even be able to trade punches with Jotaro.
Because any damage inflicted on a Stand is reflected back to the user. If The World were to suffer a Hamon/ripple 'attack,' Dio himself would also suffer a Hamon/ripple attack.
An ordinary person might ignore a Hamon/ripple attack, but Dio knew well.
He couldn't withstand a Hamon/ripple attack; once hit by one, it would be no different from being exposed directly to the sun.
In the comments section.
After the video started playing, few people were leaving comments, except for Gilgamesh and Kibutsuji Muzan, who were constantly insulting each other.
Others mostly expressed astonishment and confusion.
Then, a brand new comment appeared.
Rengoku Kyojuro: "@Jotaro @Polnareff, are you there? I am the Flame Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, Rengoku Kyojuro. Is the Dio you are fighting a demon?"
