Tokiguchi has never really met Muzan Muzan. The most important reason is that Muzan almost never shows up in front of the members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Tokiguchi has killed upper and lower ranks, as well as ordinary demons that he himself can't even count, but he has never really met Muzan Muzan. So when he first met Tanjiro and learned from him that he had met Muzan, all the pillars were shocked - including Tokiguchi himself.

But not having met him doesn't mean that Tokiguchi knows nothing about the concept of Muzan Muzan. He really doesn't remember things, and at that time, he didn't even remember the names of his companions, and would forget what had just happened in a blink of an eye. But Tokiguchi has never been unserious towards his enemies.

No matter how weak the enemy is, being a ghost is something that needs to be guarded against.

And Muzan Muzan is the enemy they have been pursuing for a thousand years. The information they have obtained over the past thousand years is enough for them to figure out the character of this ghost.

Someone told him about Muzan Muzan. The blue-haired boy, whose figure was completely hidden in the shadow, was suddenly stunned.

Who told him about Muzan Muzan?

Large patches of wisteria flowers were reflected in the boy's eyes, and the last fragments of the important person seemed to have begun to return to the puzzle.

Shi Wu is only a teenager, and his hatred for demons comes from this age. He would naturally use "we" to describe that the Demon Slayer Corps needs a leader. Who pulled him out of the chaos, taught him to read, and made him not be illiterate?

It was the lord...

Shi Wu slightly raised his mouth. He should have remembered it a long time ago, but this memory is like the lord, too gentle, like the sunshine in the spring afternoon, light and faint but with enough warmth and tenderness. It is also like a calm lake, clear and peaceful, never causing a storm.

People need light, water, and air. The existence of the lord is like these things. Even if he loses his memory, this memory will never force him to remember it. Instead, it comes back slowly and calmly one afternoon, against the backdrop of wisteria, after pouring himself a cup of tea, he suddenly remembers it - it's the lord.

Unfortunately, there is no tea, no sunshine, and no wisteria flowers. There is only a ghost that needs to be killed.

The reason why Wukui is mentioned is that while waiting, Shiwu unconsciously began to think about the commonality between Wukui and Dio.

He was also thinking about the feasibility of the plan given by Jotaro.

Because of the existence of Shiwu, because Abdel and Iki did not die, and because they knew Dio's abilities in advance, there was no need for Kakyoin Noriaki to use death to figure out the mystery. So the way to deal with Dio now can't be exactly the same as the development in the file.

>>>>>>>>>

-- Before the sun completely sets.

When Shi Wu said Dio Brando's name with a burning look in his eyes, everyone present was incredulous, and Polnareff almost choked on his own saliva: "Who are you talking about?! That Dio -- son? Father?!"

Polnareff spoke some words that Shi Wu couldn't understand at all in his native language at a very fast speed. Shi Wu had already learned English in a month, and it really couldn't be expected that he could learn other languages ​​very quickly during this period of time.

Shi Wu pretended not to react to their surprise, and did not deny that the current situation was indeed a bit of his bad taste, otherwise he could have had countless more peaceful ways to spoil Dio's ability.

Anyway, no matter what kind of person he is, Shi Wu admitted that he is just "himself".

He made an expression of "Why are you so surprised" (although he did not make such an expression, but his eyes slightly revealed such an emotion). Shi Wu naturally took over.

"Because of me," Shi Wu paused deliberately, and changed his words: "The reason why he mentioned Dio was that I happened to be talking to him about the abilities of his enemies at that time."

"I have a good relationship with him, and the name of the enemy he met is... Devil? Diavolo?"

Shi Wu glanced at the few people who were still not reacting, and happily told the information of Giorno's future enemy, who was used by him to set up his character.

Although Giorno's future enemy is a human, he basically does nothing. However, Shi Wu has no way to judge the extent of his evil deeds, and there is still too little information on the file. Therefore, what kind of enemy the other party is, these people will know when they come into contact with him in the future.

Tokimu just saw Polnareff's name mentioned in the file, so he exposed the information and intelligence. And such a rough reaction and his own confusion are more in line with Giorno's character who will not tell people these things in detail.

Since Giorno didn't tell everyone, isn't it reasonable that I don't know about Josuke Higashigata?

"Diavolo's ability is to delete time. Joe didn't explain in detail how he deleted it, but because we talked about time substitutes, he told me--" "

【Come to think of it, my father's ability is also related to time." Tokiwa blinked and said the most important words to the few people who finally reacted to the information, "He said so."

"Time?" Noriaki Kakyoin pondered and murmured the key word: "Time... Time!"

Noriaki Kakyoin was worthy of being the most careful person present, and the one with the boldest guess.

The red-haired high school student's eyes were almost shining at this moment: "I know! Dio's ability!"

"Do you remember? I said that I met Dio when I came to Egypt with my parents before. It was also for this reason that I was planted with flesh buds by Dio and controlled by him at that time."

"At that time, although I was very nervous, what happened at that time made me keep thinking about what his ability is."

After being noticed by Dio for some reason, Dio did not let go of the Stand in front of Kakyoin Noriaki, but he definitely used the Stand's ability!

"Dio can appear in different places almost without any time interval - I can't be sure if this is an illusion caused by my over-nervousness at the time, but if you think in the direction of time, his ability can only be in three directions."

Kakyoin Noriaki raised an index finger: "First, no one has said that the ability of the Stand cannot be repeated."

Kakyoin Noriaki, who loves playing games and is always bold in guessing, said a direction that no one has thought of.

Along the way, the Stands of the enemies they encountered were all completely different, each with its own characteristics. In this era, there are still too few Stand users, and they have no way to judge. Therefore, Kakyoin Noriaki's words woke them up.

Babies are Stand users, animals are Stand users, even weapons can be Stand users - so if two people have the same Stand effect, is there any problem?

"If it is about deleting time, there should be two kinds of deletion. One is to delete what happened at that time, similar to [deleting the time used for all his actions in this time]..."

Kakyoin Noriaki used the simplest language to explain all the possibilities. Time and space have always been a difficult problem that scientists and philosophers have been pondering. Now that the clues are placed in front of them, they are already much better than exploring in the dark.

"The last possibility -"

Kakyoin Noriaki and Kujo Jotaro looked at each other, their faces becoming quite solemn: "That is, [pause time]."

Kakyoin Noriaki proposed a total of three possibilities, deletion, acceleration, and pause.

The first two can be determined by the clock, and the last one is actually the easiest to judge.

Moreover, if deletion and acceleration are used well, it is almost equivalent to pausing - no matter which ability it is, it is quite difficult for them to solve.

"Pause time..." Polnareff's tangled hair is about to fall off: "How should I play this!"

"Pausing time is better than restarting the save file." Tokiwa interjected lightly, inadvertently attracting the attention of others.

This is Tokiwa's sigh about the future of Josuke Higashigata that the system had told him before. But the reminder cannot be too obvious. Almost as soon as they looked over, Shi Wu said with a very calm expression: "If it is related to time, can't it be explained as the save file in the game, turning back the time or something...? This should also be used as a reference."

Shi Wu's attitude was very natural, which should not have attracted much attention. However, the few people present, except Polnareff, were almost all smart people.

Abdel was very sensitive to these because of his identity as a fortune teller.

They tacitly ignored the identity of Dio's son and did not consider the possibility that the other party was an enemy. However, why would two high school students talk about the enemy's abilities for no reason during a normal chat?

Are their opponents so hardcore?

The topic of the enemy's ability would suddenly be brought up, and they would discuss it - often this conversation represents one thing, that is, the topic of "the enemy's ability is time" is a common topic for them.

Dio's son would encounter such an enemy, so what about Josuke?

Unfortunately, they don't have time to pay attention to these now. No matter what, they have to get rid of Dio first. This is the biggest problem now.

"Kakyoin, you just said that the abilities of different people's stands can be the same..." Jotaro Kujo said this after thinking about it.

Kakyoin Noriaki nodded.

Jotaro Kujo thought about it, but didn't say it too clearly. Instead, he nodded to himself: "I understand."

>>>>>>>>>>

In fact, for enemies like Dio and Wukui, plans are almost too useful. Since they can live for so long, it means that they themselves have rich experience in staying alive. As

long as there is a general direction, it is most appropriate to change the actions afterwards according to the situation.

Dio will first focus on Jotaro and others who are descendants of Joestar's bloodline, so Jotaro and others will fight with Dio first, and then show that they are defeated and run away.

Polnareff and Abdelichi will be the pursuing party. Attack from the front and back.

Even if Shiwu got involved now, these people didn't want to put him in danger, so they didn't arrange any dangerous tasks for him. They just let Shiwu keep a close eye on things and act according to circumstances.

At this moment, Polnareff looked as if he had just thought of something: "Come to think of it, Josuke, your ability is so powerful, can you restore Dio back to human?"

And Kakyoin Noriaki seemed to have guessed what Polnareff was going to say, but he didn't stop him from saying it. Now he covered his head helplessly.

This behavior is obvious. It's not that Kakyoin and the others haven't thought about this possibility, but they just don't want Shiwu to do it because it's too dangerous.

Shi Wu told the truth: "I don't know."

"After all, Dio has lived for a hundred years. I'm not sure what state I will restore him to. Maybe a human, or maybe he will become the peak period when he became a vampire."

"If you really want to try it... it's best to experiment at the beginning, otherwise after Dio is seriously injured," one repair may actually heal the person, then the story will be interesting.

Polnareff understood the subtext and laughed dryly: "Forget it, it's too dangerous." Shi

Wu stood there obediently and said nothing. >>>

... The system, which was willing to be exploited but had already exhausted all the things it could give to Shi Wu at this time, had already begun to pretend that it did not exist. "Is there really no weapon like the Nichirin Sword?" Shi Wu asked in an almost coquettish tone. System: ... "I got an intelligence from Mr. Joseph - about his ability called Ripple besides his Stand." Shi Wu said cheerfully: "It feels like Ripple is really similar to Breathing Technique, both are about adjusting breathing and using life energy..." The mischievous kid exclaimed: "What will happen if I use Breathing Technique in front of Mr. Joseph?" System: ... Shi Wu doesn't know about Breathing Technique, no, it's Ripple. He doesn't know what Ripple means to Joseph, so he can still say such words in a mischievous tone. He just randomly picked a topic and said something without thinking: "Also, I was thinking about making some disguises, like before, wearing a haori to hide the sword." "But in this world, blood-related relatives are actually connected - even if I want to avoid Dio, he will notice me when I get within a certain distance." This ability is comparable to GPS. "If Dio had stayed in the house at that time, he would have died because of the building collapse and the sun? Why can they live so long?"

"By the way, have I told you that when you reach a certain level in breathing techniques, you will develop markings on your body. I heard from others that my markings are a cloud."

"And people with markings are said to not live past..."

[Shut up.]

Tokiwa obediently stopped the mumbling in his mind. He was looking forward to the system's response.

[You will live, not just to the age of 25, even with the markings.]

Tokiwa was not satisfied with this answer. He was more concerned about the other partners who had activated the markings. Although he did not know what happened later, Tanjiro had already had the markings, and he had had them since he knew him - could it be that such a good person could not live past 25?

[……]

The system seemed to be irritated by him, because he did not deliberately hide this thought from the system.

But after the two of them were silent for a long time, the system suddenly spoke, still the old-fashioned mechanical voice without any emotion: [You, have you already known. ]

Tokiwa blinked and looked at the movement not far away. The next sentence was not a communication with the system in his mind, but was directly spoken from his mouth: "Here I come."

According to the plan, it should be his turn to play now.

——In

the ability to fight against Dio, Tokiwa's special place comes from the fact that his own ability is not fully known (to be honest, the stand battle is an intelligence war, and the people present, Jotaro, are more upright than the other, and the abilities of the stands are exposed completely).

And - Dio would never think of the so-called breathing method!

Tokiwa is a genius, this is a fact that has been repeated countless times. He can learn knowledge or other things that have nothing to do with him and have never been exposed to at the fastest speed.

After realizing the similarities between breathing methods and ripples, he can even simulate the form of ripples after thinking for a while just now!

This is similar to the externalization of a sword energy. In the absence of the Sun Blade, in this case, the most suitable attribute should be the fire attribute like Tanjiro.

The cloud attribute is not perfect for vampires whose weakness is the sun. However, after the breathing method reaches the level where it can emit stripes, the Sun Blade will turn red - all the energy will be transformed into the original energy representing the sun that could kill Muru hundreds of years ago from the Sun-Calling Ancestor!

Shiwu has reached this level, and even in the last moments, he has mastered it proficiently, using this power to firmly control the actions of Upper One.

So, in this case, what Shiwu needs to do is to transform the method at that time, the power and skills of the sword energy, into the energy that completely represents the "wave".

Dio is worthy of being Dio. In the end, he was defeated by Jotaro Kujo and others, and there was still no wolf mark on his body!

However, during this time, Kakyoin Noriaki, who was seriously injured in a test and received Dio's accurate ability, covered his abdomen and spoke with difficulty to remind his companions: "It's pause! Dio's ability is to pause time!"

Dio, who was standing opposite them, showed an interested expression and raised his eyebrows: "Roar~"

A golden stand appeared behind him, and Dio smiled nonchalantly: "Even if you guessed this, how are you going to deal with me?"

"Let me show you!" Dio opened his arms and said in a deep voice: "-The World!"

Time was paused at this moment, and only Dio could move in this world.

Kakyoin Noriaki's mouth was bleeding, and the injury in his abdomen made it difficult for him to even speak. And after time paused, his dripping blood even stopped in mid-air.

And Jotaro Kujo, who had also determined Dio's ability at this time - no, when Shi Wu proposed it, he had already prepared for all possibilities, but his expression remained calm after the pause.

Dio is almost the embodiment of arrogance, but while possessing this kind of mentality, he is also very vigilant and possesses wisdom.

It is precisely because of this that the person who survived a hundred years ago would be him.

He stared at Jotaro Kujo's expression at this moment, and had some subtle and uncertain premonitions in his heart. And just when he approached Jotaro Kujo - Jotaro's hand actually moved at this moment!

Dio suddenly stepped back a few steps, looking at Jotaro Kujo's position in disbelief!

In the previous confrontation, he vaguely discovered that Jotaro Kujo, the descendant of the Joestar family, was basically a stand of the same type, but if even the ability to stop time was the same...

Dio decided to try it again.

And the two-second pause ended at this moment.

Because Dio had not had time to do anything during the pause, so apart from the subtle change in Dio's position, there was no change at all. Kakyoin Noriaki, who thought he would die in the next second, immediately thought about Dio's purpose in his heart.

And his own situation.

He probably only has damage to his internal organs, and his arm seems to be broken? His lungs may have been punctured by the bones, but his spine can still run normally, otherwise he would have fallen down somewhere and couldn't move. But even so, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

His spirit is greatly weakened now, and he can only rely on Jotaro in the current situation. It is also expected that Mr. Joseph and the others did not catch up in time.

After all, not everyone can rely on a stand to fly on the spot! At least Kakyoin Noriaki relied on the Green Pope who was like a rope to catch up.

Jotaro Kujo and Dio tested each other back and forth-the time did not even exceed two minutes, and they fought several times!

And during this time, Dio also discovered that Jotaro Kujo had placed a magnet on his hand, which allowed him to move his fingers during the time stop due to the attraction of the magnet!

After exposing this point, Dio was finally relieved and wanted to start to deal with Jotaro Kujo neatly! Without Kakyoin Noriaki, during one of the time stops, he even pierced Kakyoin Noriaki's spine with his hand - this is the place where Kakyoin Noriaki is still sighing that he is lucky not to be injured.

According to Josuke's ability, even if he stops breathing, as long as he tries to hold on, even if it's just for a second, as long as his soul has not dissipated, he has a chance to save himself. Because of Josuke's existence, the serious injury at this moment is acceptable, but not completely dead.

Too much blood loss, too serious wounds and too much physical exhaustion.

The existence of Josuke gave him some hope to wait, otherwise Kakyoin would not know how to explain to his parents that he ran away from home and returned injured if he survived.

Why did he start to think of all these things at such a tense moment? Kakyoin Noriaki immediately tried to gather his thoughts and think of a way to continue to help Jotaro in this mortal situation, but with his extremely confused and dizzy residual light, he found a familiar figure approaching here - this was

not planned! Kakyoin Noriaki looked in disbelief in the direction where the blue-haired hybrid appeared.

The continuous blood induction of the Joestar family made Dio and Jotaro Kujo notice the movement over there!

Without saying anything, Shi Wu overturned the bucket of transparent liquid in his hand. The power of the Stand was strong enough, and the liquid splashed on Dio!

Unsure of what the liquid was, Dio immediately used the Stand's ability to stop time!

Drops of crystal water fell in front of him. Dio sniffed it slightly and frowned strangely. He didn't quite understand the behavior of this descendant of the Joestar family who was not in the plan: "Alcohol?"

But no matter what the situation is, the blood of the descendants of the Joestar family is what he covets. He is sure that the time stop is still going on. How can he not take action on the snack that is delivered to his door? However

, just when Dio's hand avoided the alcohol and was about to touch Shi Wu's body, he actually felt an inexplicable sense of danger!

Could it be -! Dio decisively gave up attacking Shi Wu, and switched to a knife that didn't have to directly touch Shi Wu's body!

However! His overconfidence in the time stop made him fail to anticipate that although the system didn't give Shi Wu a cheat, he himself was a cheat!

He would never let Shi Wu's plan fail! Dio's pause time could indeed make Shi Wu's vest unable to move, but the stand controlled by the system was not within the scope of the rules!

Bringing Shi Wu back from the dead, the system originally represented a loophole, a bug!

Almost at the moment Dio stepped back, the fist of the blue-pink stand that suddenly appeared landed on him! Along with the alcohol liquid that had already been splashed around!

Crazy Diamond's ability to repair was also revealed at this moment. The alcohol that was originally suspended in the air was all repaired into Dio's body without a drop falling!

This is also Crazy Diamond's ability! Repairing living and non-living things together.

The system also tried to restore Dio to the human state of a hundred years ago, but unfortunately such a repair would take several minutes. Dio immediately started to leave his original position when Crazy Diamond's fist touched him!

Dio's pupils began to tremble. He was sure that this blue-haired guy was definitely controlled by the time stop, but why! Why can the stand still appear! Could it be that this is not his stand but someone else's? Then what is the ability of this blue-pink stand! What is the purpose of alcohol?

Countless confusions appeared in Dio's brain. The paused time was over. When Shi Wu was able to think and anticipate it, he shouted: "Mr. Abdel! Set fire!"

Abdel, who had finally caught up, hadn't reacted yet. His body summoned a substitute faster than his brain!

At this time, Dio immediately understood the meaning of alcohol! The repair ability allowed the alcohol and Dio's body to merge into one. Simply put, as long as there was a fire, Dio could almost self-ignite immediately!

The moment the fire appeared, Dio immediately changed his position, but unfortunately he still underestimated the concentration of alcohol and the excessive heat of Abdel's flame - and the speed at which the alcohol evaporated!

Dio can control all the muscles and cells in his body. After realizing that alcohol has entered his body, he will naturally expel it, just like he released his abilities in a similar way a hundred years ago when he just became a vampire. The

Crazy Diamond's repair is thorough. The moment the repair is completed, alcohol represents a part of Dio and merges into every drop of blood in his body. In this case, if you want to expel it, what will be discharged will be more gas than liquid!

When the gaseous alcohol reaches a certain concentration and encounters an open flame -

"boom--!!"

Dio's body explodes!

Taking advantage of this time, Tokiwa rushed to the location of Kakyoin Noriaki, who was seriously injured and almost dying, and was also affected by the explosion. The crazy diamond's fist landed on Kakyoin Noriaki, and the treatment was completed before the opponent stopped breathing!

Looking at Kakyoin Noriaki who was intact and his complexion had recovered a lot (after all, Tokiwa could not create the blood lost in the process, so there was still some blood loss), Tokiwa breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to save Abdel and the others, but cause Kakyoin Noriaki to continue to die.

Good people should live long and should not die here.

[...You know that too.]

Tokiwa:...

Tokiwa turned his eyes away and pretended not to hear.

But Dio will never die so easily! Even if his body was blown to ashes, he might be able to be reborn in it, just like Muru, who was cut into hundreds of pieces of flesh but could still survive!

Even if his body is repaired, it is absolutely not suitable for Kakyoin Noriaki to continue to join the battle now - Tokiwa can understand the battle situation and believes in Jotaro Kujo's ability. He immediately carried Kakyoin Noriaki on his back and temporarily left this position.

In the previous battle, Kakyoin Noriaki had done everything he could do! Next, it is the final showdown between the Joestar Family and Dio!

In this case, the answer is already very clear, right? In

the original story, Dio at his peak could not defeat Jotaro Kujo. Now that Dio is affected by the explosion, it is even more impossible for him to defeat Jotaro Kujo.

That's right, the process was almost the same as described in the file. Mr. Joseph was drained of blood by Dio and used as a blood bag. At that time, Kakyoin Noriaki almost caught the perfect time to let the Green Hierophant appear, and cooperated with Joseph to release the Purple Hermit to be pulled to Tokiwa's side for treatment, and Jotaro Kujo showed the time stop effect at the same time. The tacit understanding between the three people is classic!

The ending of demons never needs a grand death. In the unknown situation, being covered by dust is the most suitable for them.

So here, there are not many adjectives.

When the sun falls, it means that everything is over.

But after everything is over, there is suddenly an inexplicable... a sense of emptiness and confusion as if nothing has been done.

Because the ending was too perfect, the people who had prepared themselves to die at any time felt a sense of trance.

Shiwu treated everyone present very smoothly, and even helped "clean" their clothes. While others didn't know how to speak or react, he also emptied his mind. Until

Jotaro Kujo looked at him with a look that was completely indescribable.

Shiwu tilted his head.

He didn't know if it was because he had completed the task of killing Dio and collecting energy, but the delay between him and the vest was not so scary after all. The expressions on his face also became more relaxed and natural.

"Mr. Jotaro?" Shiwu was a little confused.

"I saw it." Jotaro Kujo spoke abruptly.

Shiwu:?

The ability of Jotaro Kujo's stand is of the same nature as Dio, so he saw what happened when Dio paused time and when Shiwu appeared.

It was only a few seconds, and Jotaro Kujo even thought he had seen it wrong.

In the case of time stop, the blue-haired boy's stand was still able to move, and even when Dio was about to kill him, he suddenly sensed something and stepped back.

After hesitating, Jotaro Kujo did not directly talk about the stand, but tactfully said the information that only three people (him, Dio, and Tokiwa himself) knew.

"I am a little concerned about why Dio stepped back before touching you when time stopped." Jotaro Kujo said this, implying that he knew everything at the time.

Tokiwa made a somewhat shy expression: "This... maybe it is related to this?"

The blue-haired boy stretched out his hands, and the position of his hands seemed to release a strange, warm energy.

Joseph's eyes widened: "--Really?!"

Shi Wu said embarrassedly: "Didn't Mr. Joseph mention, um, the matter of the waves before? I was a little curious, so I tried it myself..."

The waves represent the energy of the sun, which will naturally cause harm to vampires.

In this case, Shi Wu happily ignored Joseph's reaction.

"And you covered your whole body with the waves, so Dio would..." Jotaro Kujo understood the situation at the time.

After understanding Jotaro Kujo's hint just now, Shi Wu, who thought that no one would see the situation at the time, could only throw the pot to his fictitious friend again.

"I roughly know what you want to ask, Mr. Jotaro." The blue-haired boy with mixed-blood features himself also had some incomprehensible reactions: "I, roughly know the reason too."

"It should be related to him, my friend... right?" Shi Wu thought about the wording: "His stand is really super powerful!"

Shi Wu had said before that the enemy ability Giorno had faced was to delete time, and the time-based stands were quite difficult to deal with. Therefore, the enemy who can delete time can be dealt with - plus it was the opponent who sent the blue-haired boy to this era, it must be an ability related to time and space, which can basically resolve the doubts.

Giorno, who is only three years old this year:? Giorno,

who became a good friend: I am not, I don't have it!

But why, only the stand can move, but your original body is still out of control? Jotaro Kujo thought about it, but kept it in his mind and didn't ask directly. He just accepted the reason.

So, the system from the audience's perspective laughed: [Ha.]
