Chapter 10: Zhawaludo
"Then let me, DIO, be your opponent. Once you see my strength, you will know that you should stand by my side!"

DIO chuckled. He didn't mind Borsalino's arrogance at this moment.

He had encountered many such good talents in the past. As long as DIO showed his true strength and convinced the other party, he would naturally get the loyalty he wanted.

Moreover, these subordinates who have witnessed DIO's true strength tend to be more loyal, just like Vanilla Ace.

"3%? 5%? Never mind, let's start with 1%..."

Borsalino stretched out his palm and gestured for a moment, finally raising an index finger towards DIO.

'boom! ’

But in the blink of an eye, Borsalino appeared where DIO was.

DIO was blasted to the end of the corridor by Borsalino, and his whole body was embedded in the wall in the shape of a big letter.

From the beginning to the end, Borsalino only touched DIO with the tip of his raised index finger. With amazing speed and unstoppable power, even DIO, who had the ability to stop time, was unable to react at the moment of being hit.

At the same time, a series of vibrations and roars were heard from the lower floor of the mansion. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be that Jotaro and his companions were attacked by Vanilla Ace.

Most of the time, the exposure of the Stand's abilities means defeat for the Stand user.

But there are always some stands that are so powerful that even if you know their abilities, it is difficult to restrain them accordingly.

Vanilla Ace's 'Subsonic Miasma' and DIO's 'World' are the best among them. They can only be defeated if they reveal their flaws.

Of course, if one has Borsalino's overwhelming strength, then it doesn't matter what the Stand's ability is.

"What...Valudo!"

DIO, who was embedded in the wall, raised his head, activated his Stand ability with a gloomy expression, and paused time.

As a vampire, DIO possesses the ability of immortality and can recover from even the most serious injuries.

Even DIO had to admit that he underestimated this guy of unknown origin.

DIO jumped down from the depression in the wall and jumped twice on the spot, then lowered his head to look at his chest. The wound pierced by Borsalino's index finger was healing rapidly.

He just glanced at DIO and no longer paid attention to the wound. He silently counted the remaining time of the time stop and walked with cat-like steps to the young man who dared to reject him.

Borsalino, who was in the time-stopping state, had a half-smile on his face.

After observing for a moment, DIO also followed Borsalino's example and raised his index finger, gently placing it on the other's chest.

3!

2!

1!

The moment time began to flow, DIO also exerted force, preparing to use the same method to return the previous blow to Borsalino.

"In a world where time stops, I am the only one, DIO..."

Before he could finish his words, the proud expression on DIO's face was quickly replaced by shock.

His full-strength attack can shatter a four-centimeter-thick steel plate!

Even though it's impossible to reach the limit of destructive power by just using the force of fingers, it's more than enough to kill anyone.

However, what DIO never expected was that... when his index finger poked Borsalino's chest, a sound of metal clashing was heard.

"Clang!" DIO felt as if he had poked his finger into a piece of solid steel. No, it was a substance a hundred times harder than steel!

"It was really dangerous. I almost died..."

Borsalino looked at the finger poking his chest without caring, and was not even surprised by DIO's sudden appearance.

"…There's something wrong with you!"

DIO was silent for a moment, then retreated violently, putting some distance between himself and Borsalino, and spoke with a gloomy expression.

Countless thoughts flashed through DIO's mind. From the moment the Stardust Crusaders broke into the mansion, every move of Borsalino was recalled over and over again in DIO's mind.

DIO is not a brainless villain who only relies on the ability of his stand or his own strength. On the contrary, when DIO was still a human, he possessed excellent learning ability, extraordinary creativity and outstanding adaptability.

"Aren't you going to continue attacking? It seems like your men can't hold out for much longer."

Borsalino glanced at the collapsed ruins.

Even though Vanilla Ace's strength and Stand abilities are first-rate, he is already struggling to cope with the siege of the Stardust Crusaders, especially since his Stand abilities were exposed early on.

If the Stardust Crusaders hadn't been unwilling to take risks, they would have almost eliminated their opponent by now.

"If he falls here, it means he is nothing more than that."

DIO spoke very coldly, saying that he would grant Vanilla Ace eternal life for his loyalty, but he would not do anything meaningless for the failed Vanilla Ace.

Only the winner is qualified to follow in DIO's footsteps, and now that Vanilla Ace has become a vampire, it is not so easy to die.

At least DIO is confident that he can deal with this troublesome guy before Vanilla Ace is defeated.

Yes, tough guy!

Although DIO was surprised by the strength shown by Borsalino, he still had enough confidence to defeat any enemy.

In a world where time stops, no one can match DIO!
"How heartless! They ruthlessly discard subordinates who are no longer useful to them."

Borsalino shook his head and pretended to be disappointed. He was indeed the King of Evil, treating his subordinates as consumables.

"Only by continuously winning can you be qualified to follow me, DIO!"

DIO snorted. The weak have no value in survival. If they can't even recognize this, they will fall behind sooner or later no matter how strong they are.

Thinking of this, he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to recruit Borsalino. This guy who couldn't understand the greatness of DIO was not worthy of being his follower.

"Ah……"

Borsalino calmly extended his second finger, and this time DIO, who barely reacted, activated his Stand ability without hesitation.

"What...Valudo!"

The moment the Stand's ability was activated, time stopped flowing again.

However, DIO was still a little slow in activating his Stand ability. At the moment when time stopped, Borsalino appeared in front of him again.

'boom! ’

Even though time had stopped, DIO was once again blasted into the corridor by Borsalino.

It was still the same position and the same angle, but this time the force that blew him away doubled. The solid wall couldn't withstand this force and a big hole was knocked out.
