JOJO, The Escape from Real Diavolo

Chapter 21 Satan vs. King Crimson

He was in excruciating pain ten seconds ago, but now he feels much better and can think normally. It seems that having two broken ribs doesn't have much of an impact.

"Cough cough, my body is really quite strong."

While making sarcastic remarks, he was also thinking.

"Could it be that he's bluffing? Could he not guarantee his own safety while trying to make his wishes come true?...

With a loud bang, Yedan charged in again, blowing the priest and the cross away with a single move, revealing Chen Miaowen's disheveled state.

"How about we stop fighting? I don't think you'd want to kill someone, would you?"

Chen Miaowen seemed lost in thought, and continued to try to persuade the other party.

"hehe."

One after another, palm-sized screws appeared out of thin air and crashed down at a terrifying speed. Chen Miaowen was already preparing to activate his ability and leave the spot, but the screws did not attack Chen Miaowen. Instead, they all nailed into the priest who was being thrown away.

The cross was instantly mangled and bloodied; the priest was left without a complete corpse.

However, just as the screw was being driven into the air and a cloud of blood appeared, the Red King suddenly flashed past Chen Miaowen's eyes, seemingly unnoticed by Yedan.

"What are you thinking? Why would I be afraid? Do you really think I'm a child?! But how did the Crimson King manage to teleport right under my nose? I really don't understand, I clearly disabled spatial teleportation..."

Chen Miaowen looked at the priest who had been beaten into a bloody mist and felt very sorry. The priest was still alive, but after being provoked like this, he was beyond dead.

"I will avenge you..."

"Stop arguing, it's your turn next!"

"……Yeah?"

The boy blinked once, and Chen Miaowen suddenly appeared behind him. Hong Wang raised his hand as if to stab him through with a chop.

However, Satan seemed to be a Stand with its own consciousness. Before the boy could react, the Stand had already blocked the attack with its six wings. In order to protect its master from the impact, it even retreated hastily in the wind.

After realizing what had happened, the boy tried to retaliate, but his attack missed again, and Chen Miaowen returned to the same spot, a smile still on his lips.

"Why would you want to attack me? I've issued orders to the entire world that no one can approach me!"

"Heh, so how did I manage to get close to you?"

Yedan was clearly exasperated, and his golden hair became a mess as it was blown around in the wind.

It's true that wishes can come true, but this ability still has its flaws. Chen Miaowen's clever mind discovered this flaw, which is why he dared to act so decisively.

[Using the ability again will nullify the previous wish fulfillment.]

For example, he couldn't get close, but Chen Miaowen clearly saw that a tiny pebble he deliberately used to knock away the Red King was able to bypass the protection and touch the other party's valuable clothes.

For example, the ability to transcend the laws of the universe and allow ordinary people to see the Stand seems to have no effect in this situation.

Because Teresa, who was standing not far from him, provided the answer.

"Boss, why can't I see your stunt double again? He was so handsome!"

Although the girl was teasing him at great risk, Chen Miaowen was still grateful to her, as she at least convinced him of his idea that the boy had a deficiency in his abilities.

"snort."

Yedan managed to control his emotions while in mid-air; he decided to stop testing them and show no more mercy.

"Kill them, Satan, just like you killed Jesus!"

Hundreds of enormous screws seemed to appear from a parallel universe, each giant screw spinning rapidly toward the crowd, a terrifying force pushing the nuts and then smashing them down.

"Stop them, protect ordinary people."

Because of the screw's high speed and wide attack range, he had to get close to the pilots who were farther away and protect them.

"King Crimson!"

So he deleted two seconds of time and began to receive the attack in front of the pilot.

"This is... a jump in the screw's trajectory?"

Yedan was not surprised by Chen Miaowen's actions, but he was surprised by the other party's abilities.

He witnessed the entire process. His cog in the machine teleported to a certain location as Chen Miaowen suddenly appeared at the gate. He wasn't stupid; he knew that this was part of the Crimson King's ability.

Furthermore, after Yedan used the Wind King's wish fulfillment, he once again had Satan cast a spell, secretly issuing the order that "this church cannot be teleported." Since it was not teleportation, there is only one possibility.

"It's not space...it's time! So it's a stand-in for time travel."

"That's right, I can travel through time, and I can foresee the future, including your defeat."

Chen Miaowen smiled confidently as Crimson King punched the flying screw. The power and speed of the dual A-level was perfectly demonstrated at this moment. Even when faced with a screw the size of a palm, Crimson King could deploy a seamless protective shield in front of him, deflecting all the screws.

Yedan's expression was somewhat grim. He felt that after awakening his Stand, he had almost completely understood it. The power of wish fulfillment could not be stacked. If he were to use it to seal space jumps, he would have no other abilities or means. He could only use these giant screws that he had been around since childhood to attack. However, it seemed that this was ineffective against Chen Miaowen and the Red King.

"If time were frozen, I would also be frozen, so it wouldn't be of any use..."

Freezing time and moving within a frozen world are two separate things that he can control, so he cannot completely replicate Star Platinum's Stand ability.

In his life before awakening his Stand, he was fortunate that he hadn't lost interest in the world, which led him to cause a meteorite to fall to Earth. If it were a real meteorite, his wish wouldn't have ended until it hit the ground.

During this journey, he was unable to protect himself in any way, and if he didn't want to die, he could only run (although it was impossible to escape).

Furthermore, two of the sentences he uttered after awakening his Stand were false; only the inability to touch was true. Moreover, this inability to touch was not absolute; it was merely an invisible air barrier added by using the power of wish fulfillment.

He wanted to give Chen Miaowen the illusion that he could have unlimited wishes, but he didn't expect Chen Miaowen to be so smart that he saw through his bluff in no time.

The inability to stack abilities is the biggest limitation and flaw in Satan's powers, which is why he cannot achieve true invincibility.

This shift from egocentrism to meticulous calculation caused Yedan to lose some confidence and feel quite disappointed.

However, the same was true of his opponent. Chen Miaowen had already noticed the screws, which should not be within the scope of his wish-fulfilling ability. Judging from the frequency of his use, they were even inexhaustible.

While King Crimson can hold him off, he will eventually tire. When his Stand is exhausted, it will be unable to throw a punch and will eventually be breached by Screw, turning into a bloody mist.

Even after understanding the limitations of the other party's ability to make their wishes come true, he would still be at a disadvantage as time went on.
