Moreover, Jing also vaguely sensed the "unless" that Lu Ye mentioned.

indeed.

If they really did go back to the past, then according to the timeline, Jotaro would undoubtedly defeat Dio.

Unless... they've come to another parallel world.

A world where Jotaro and his group did not defeat Dio.

Jing broke out in a cold sweat when she thought about this.

With a thought, she quickly summoned her own substitute.

This time, it wasn't her familiar Stand, [Transparent Baby].

Instead, space was directly torn apart, creating a gap that resembled a vertical single eye, more than three meters high.

Moreover, dazzling iridescent colors flashed through the gaps.

"I... I remember... you dragged me into this gap before?" Lu Ye asked curiously.

"Hmm..." Jing nodded. "Actually, I don't know what this is either. I just instinctively felt that this place could be used to avoid Dio's attacks..."

Just then, Polnareff popped out of Luye's pocket.

"So you brought us here unintentionally. But this gap didn't go berserk, nor did it face uncontrollable winds like my 'Silver Chariot Requiem'... More importantly, look at the skin on your neck. The 'arrow' is still inside your body. Does that mean you possess the power to manipulate insect arrows?"

Lu Ye looked in the direction Polnareff was referring to.

Sure enough, there was an arrow mark on the left side of Jing's neck.

It was as if an arrow had pierced through the skin; the mark was quite obvious, and the shape and outline of the arrowhead were very clear.

"I don't know, but I do seem to be able to manipulate this gap at will. Is this just my intuition?"

As they spoke, Lu Yejing and Polunarev moved closer to observe the gap.

“Wait a minute, could you slow down the light inside?” Lu Ye said at this moment. “The light is too dazzling, it fills the interior, and we can’t see what the space looks like.”

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Do as instructed.

Sure enough, under her control, the light flowing through the crack slowed down.

"This is……?!"

When Guangman slowed down, Luye and Polnareff were both taken aback.

Because these lights... are essentially rolls of "image tapes"!

These "video tapes" are as intricate as intertwined snakes, and they play images... images from different worlds!

The reason why he was so sure was because Lu Ye, with his extraordinary eyesight and luck, even saw scenes from his own main world inside, including Esdeath and Violet living in the mansion!

"This... is absolutely true! Jing Joestar, your ability... allows you to travel between different parallel worlds!" Lu Ye exclaimed in shock.

"Wait, stop this scene!"

Polnareff quickly had Shizue freeze a certain image at a certain moment.

Judging from the hairstyle, it's a picture of a young Polnareff observing Jotaro and the others in a restaurant. It seems that he wasn't familiar with Jotaro and the others at that time, meaning they hadn't become companions yet.

“Look! This is when Jotaro, Joseph, and I first met… Considering our current situation, Shizu, your ability not only allows you to travel through parallel universes, but also to freely choose the time of the world you want to go to?”

"So, do you still have your original abilities?" Lu Ye asked.

Jing quickly tried it.

She herself seems to be able to become transparent, but she can no longer apply this ability to surrounding objects.

Polnareff was shocked.

“Absolutely right... Your ability has now undoubtedly evolved into 'Requiem'!”

"So, does that mean we're confident we can defeat Dio?!" Shizuka exclaimed with delight.

"Of course, all we need to do is observe the timeline of that original world and kill Dio before he is resurrected. Since we can be accurately teleported to this point in time, it proves that this method is feasible!"

"But how do we determine Dio's location?"

"Couldn't we find out by observing Dio's men? At the very least, we can go to the area around that mansion in Egypt beforehand."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jing suddenly knelt down on the ground, panting heavily as if all her strength had been drained.

“It seems this method won’t work…” Polnareff said. “Traveling through parallel worlds also consumes energy and mental strength. If we give the little girl more time, she might be able to extend the time she stays in a parallel world, just like Jotaro extended the time stop. But Shizuka has just acquired this ability and is not yet proficient in using it. In addition, she has brought two more of us with her, so the time she can stay in a parallel world is probably not very long.”

"I'm sorry... I've lost all my strength..." Jing said breathlessly, "I'm afraid I can't hold on for another five minutes."

"So... in five minutes... we'll have to go back and face that evil Dio after he ascends to heaven?" Polnareff said seriously. "We have to find a solution within five minutes."

"Within five minutes... we must find a way to deal with Dio in this parallel world..."

Chapter 797 Jotaro Kujo and Dio

“But… this is a parallel world. Even if we kill Dio, the Dio from the original world won’t die. But if we want to start from the original world… we have no idea when or where Dio will be resurrected!” Shizue was also at a loss.

If this continues, they will be transported back to their original world once the duration of Jing's ability ends.

They had almost no chance of winning against Heaven Dio.

Just as time was ticking away, a commotion came from the other side of the bridge; it seemed that Jotaro and Dio were having their final battle.

Just when Polnareff and Shizuka were at a loss for what to do, Lu Ye spoke up.

"I remember... Dio's ability is triggered by contact between his fists, right?"

“Yeah, so what?” Polnareff said. “Even if you wanted to do something to Dio’s hands, there was nothing you could do. After all, anything that his hands touched would have its ‘reality’ overwritten.”

"Hmph... Hahahaha!" Lu Ye suddenly burst into laughter, "Thanks to the book that Emporio took out of his 'ghost room' for amusement on the way to the space center, now I know how to deal with Dio."

…………

"Die, Jotaro!"

"Platinum Star: World!!"

In the original world, Dio launched an attack on Jolyne and Jotaro.

The moment Jotaro sensed Dio's approach, he activated time stop.

While time stop does not work on DIO, it can pause time for all other time-related events.

Dio's speed increases as time accelerates.

If external time were stopped, Dio's extraordinary speed would be greatly reduced, at least enough to be detected by Star Platinum.

Just as Dio got close, Platinum Star suddenly threw a punch.

"Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora!!!"

"Wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big!!!"

Platinum Star and World Beyond Heaven collide.

The two sides were evenly matched, but this did not surprise Dio much.

"Jotaro, it seems your spiritual power has returned to its peak... But Muda! Next! I, Dio, will rewrite this 'truth,' a truth that 'any creature I touch will die'! You will die at the hands of my [World Beyond Heaven]!"

With Dio's declaration, in the last second before time stop was lifted.

The power of World Beyond Heaven surged, instantly sending Jotaro flying.

However, Dio's expression turned strange.

"Jotaro...you're actually alright?!"

However, Dio quickly discovered the clues.

Because Jolyne, in the distance, fell straight backward and crashed into the sea.

"Jolyne—!!!"

Jotaro roared in anger.

He could feel that the bond between him and Jolyne, the bond of parentage and blood ties... had been completely severed.

When Dio attacked, it wasn't he who died, but his daughter Jolyne.

Jotaro instantly understood what had happened.

The reason he didn't die after being touched by Dio's "World Beyond Heaven" lies with Jolyne.

Previously, when Star Platinum was exchanging punches with Dio, his fist was covered by a net made of woven threads.

This was precisely Jolyne Kujo's doing.

As someone with Joestar family blood flowing through her veins, Jolyne naturally sensed Dio's approach and, before that, used the power of her Stand—Stone Freedom—to cover Star Platinum's fist with such a "protective layer."

Jolyne guessed that Dio wouldn't let his guard down after Luye and Shizuka obtained the Insect Arrow and disappeared without a trace.

He will definitely target his father, who has the ability to stop time, first.

Because once time stops, the speedup of DIO will also decrease as external time stops.

This can be understood as Dio accelerating time in the entire world, and only he, who created this phenomenon, can keep up with this speed, rather than Dio himself possessing such speed.

As it turned out, Jolyne made the right bet.

The truth of Dio, that "any creature touched by his fist will die," actually affected Jolyne.

Looking at the scene unfolding before him, Dio felt incredibly pleased.

"So this is what it looks like... Jotaro, how does it feel to have your child killed by me? Her soul has been absorbed by me, becoming nourishment for my [World Beyond Heaven]. I can feel my power constantly increasing. Although I can only overwrite one 'truth' at a time now, one day, I, Dio, will be able to rewrite reality at will, transforming this world into my empire, and I, Dio, will become the secret emperor who reigns supreme over this world! I will gain eternal peace of mind!!!"

Dio floating in the sky.

Jotaro standing in the sea.

The two are about to engage in their final battle.

Just then, a gap suddenly appeared behind Dio, from which a stream of black and red miasma shot out.

Jotaro was taken aback.

Those were Lu Ye and Jing, and Polnareff... They've returned.
