"But it doesn't matter. As a Heroic Spirit, I am no longer the weak person I used to be."
"I'll be able to surpass that level of time stopping sooner or later!"
A phantom of the world appeared behind him, and DIO then walked towards the town.
.........
"."
As Jotaro strolled through the streets at night, his thoughts were somewhat complicated.
Dragon Ball
If that power were used, Kakyoin, Iggy, and the others could all be saved, right?
That's something truly more amazing than a stand-in.
"Oh dear, I'm really getting old. I've even started reminiscing about the past and indulging in delusions."
Coming to his senses, he chuckled softly, put his hands in his pockets, and looked up at the night sky with a sigh.
Just then, a familiar figure came into his field of vision.
A robust physique, and an unchanged appearance.
Jotaro will never forget that infuriating figure.
"DIO!!"
"!?"
Chapter 164-163: DIO Retreats! (Bonus Chapter for Donations)
Even with a different outfit, DIO could never forget that familiar, steady voice and angry attitude.
"Hehe."
"Fate is such a cruel thing."
Jotaro.
Undoubtedly, although the other party looked much older, DIO was still able to recognize him.
It's truly baffling that I would encounter an old enemy in such an unrelated place.
His gaze fell on Jotaro's hand, but he didn't see any trace of being chosen by "fate," which reassured him.
As expected, compared to him, Jotaro is still just a stepping stone!
It is a trial that has come to help him reach the highest realm!
Neither Master nor Servant.
This means that Jotaro is just an "outsider".
Compared to his birth as a Servant, he is still a short-lived being, a weak human who will disappear from the world sooner or later.
"I see, so you've become a Servant."
"A guy who can summon a villain like you can't be any good either."
Even as anger welled up inside him, Jotaro was still able to clearly analyze the current situation.
Heroic spirits are simply "figures" that exist in history and the future.
Whether they are famous figures or unknown minor characters, they may be summoned.
Josuke and Rohan Kishibe had specifically explained this beforehand.
Sakuya Izayoi.

Jotaro had never really heard of these two Servants' names.
But now, just as I went out to pay my respects to my departed friends, I saw my old nemesis, whom I had once crushed, appear.
He immediately understood the situation.
DIO has been summoned as a Servant!
Even if the Master summoned has little to do with DIO, there must be some kind of connection and compatibility between them.
It was as if Josuke used him as a benchmark to filter out the key points of "time," thereby summoning the woman with the super-powerful ability to manipulate time.
"Humph"
Still maintaining that effortless demeanor, DIO stood with his hands outstretched on his hips.
(Was the time stop caused by Jotaro?)
(He has grown to this extent in 11 years.)
Although my inner self is not as calm as it appears on the surface, I cannot let my spirit be weak.
"Clap."
"Clap."
The other party had already started to approach, and the sound of each step landing was so loud that DIO could not ignore it.
(what to do.)
Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead; he had never felt so embarrassed before.
In fact, to some extent, DIO didn't want to face Jotaro.
That doesn't mean that DIO himself was afraid, but rather that he was worried about the "facts" that once existed.
While he will be stronger after becoming a Heroic Spirit than he was in life, he will still be subject to the deeds he performed in his previous life.
What were DIO's famous deeds during his lifetime?
Turn people into corpses?
Turn people into vampires?
Stop moving people?
Stop the road roller intermittently?
Time-stop self-indulgence?
Those are just one aspect.
The most important factor is that he died at the hands of Jotaro during his lifetime!
To be precise, the "world" was destroyed by "Platinum Star".
Therefore, as long as DIO does not transcend his own destiny and limits, he will always be constrained by this "historical ending".
DIO, now a Heroic Spirit, will only have one fate when he encounters Jotaro.
That means following "history" and getting crushed!
This is an unchangeable fact!
That's why DIO hasn't called on "the world" to attack yet.
If he dares to get close, he will die the same way he died 11 years ago.
Moreover, Jotaro's Stand power is currently unknown, making it difficult for him to confront his opponent head-on without any information.
What if, by accident, "World" gets destroyed by "Platinum Star" again?
That doesn't even qualify as a staged accident.
If Diablo were by his side at this moment, he might actually be much safer.
With that guy's Stand ability, killing Jotaro shouldn't be a problem.
Unfortunately, he encountered this "destined" nemesis.
It's really annoying
"Clap."
Jotaro continued to approach, but DIO could only stand there with a dark expression.
His confident demeanor made Jotaro uneasy.
(what happened?)
(Given his past behavior, he definitely wouldn't have allowed me to get so close so easily.)
Jotaro was only about ten steps away from DIO, but he stopped in his tracks as DIO stood silently with his head tilted back and hands on his hips.
Since experiencing the immense power of Star Platinum in Egypt, DIO has almost never allowed himself to get close to it.
Even when using "time stop", they will only dare to approach when they are sure they cannot move.
But now, allowing myself to get close like this is really not in line with this guy's style.
(After becoming a Heroic Spirit, did you gain abilities I didn't know about?)
