Holy Grail War? Dragon Ball War

His collapsed chest bounced, and DIO mocked him without a care in the world.

Of course, this statement was only meant to undermine the other party. In reality, he could clearly compare the huge difference in Caster's strength before and after.

Even if I learn a set of fighting combos in the outside world, nothing can compare to the power of punches in this place.

Caster, who lives in this mansion, seems to have been completely enhanced.

Whether it's manipulating time or the time itself.

She has the advantage of being on "home turf".

If it were him in the original situation, he might have had a very difficult time dealing with it.

"TheWorld!"

DIO deliberately stopped time and stood with his hands on his hips.

"Josuke Higashikata, let me see what tricks you're up to!"

Seeing that Josuke, who should have been nearby, had disappeared, DIO laughed disdainfully.

Do you really think he'll ignore the situation because of Caster's actions?

DIO wouldn't make such a small mistake.

Josuke Higashikata's Stand, Crazy Diamond, was only hit by it and was otherwise unharmed.

But I'm afraid of that "repairing" ability.

Although DIO didn't know the extent to which the other party could do it, the fact that it could "resist" Berserker's "reflection" was enough to demonstrate its strength.

"Damn it. There was absolutely no chance. He was not careless at all."

"Hiding inside the mansion, watching DIO stop time through the window," Josuke said angrily.

Why is DIO so wary and cautious when facing him?

Logically speaking, this should have been his first meeting with DIO.

But after glancing at Sakuya, who was gripping his shoulder, Josuke calmed down.

"However, you overlooked one thing."

"Caster does more than just manipulate time."

Meanwhile, outside, another Sakuya had launched another surprise attack on DIO.

"The ability to accelerate time"

"Pfft!"

DIO was injured once again by the knife in Sakuya's hand. Even though he stopped time, he could not stop her from getting close.

But the cut healed in less than a second.

Sakuya's movements were impossible to capture, or rather, once she started moving, even DIO, who had made some progress, couldn't see or react to her.

(Yes, that's exactly how it should be.)

"Hmph, hahaha!!"

Faced with this situation, DIO didn't get angry but laughed instead, as if he had encountered something extremely satisfying.

"Hey, Josuke Higashikata, from where will you attack?"

Fifteen seconds have passed, but the space remains frozen in time.

Drawing upon the blood of Diavolo and Yoshikage Kira has given him an unprecedented boost in this area.

Even having a few extra hours of free time during other people's schedules is not a problem.

(Is he deliberately trying to avoid me throwing knives?)

Sakuya had already sensed the other party's intentions as she moved.

She glanced at where the other person was standing, and then thought of another method.

She closed in instantly, raised her hand into a palm, jumped up, and struck DIO on the shoulder from above.

"Snapped!"

"Crack!"

The ground beneath their feet collapsed, sending debris flying everywhere, demonstrating the immense force behind Sakuya's attack.

but.

"Well!"

"I've got you!"

Just then, the world appeared from behind and hugged Sakuya, rendering her unable to move.

"In a state where time stands still, you can't throw knives. Your most powerful attack relies on unleashing countless small knives to pierce the enemy."

"I am very clear about that."

"Therefore, in this situation, you can only resort to close-range attacks."

Looking at Sakuya standing close in front of him, DIO approached and whispered.

"As long as we find your weakness, we might be able to catch you."

"Just like it is now."

"Once you're captured, even if you want to use the ability to accelerate time, you can't escape the limitations of this world."

"Although I don't know how you found out about my methods."

"But it's too early to be happy."

Hearing DIO's words, Sakuya showed no fear even after being captured.

"Oh? Such composure, quite an expression. Are you hoping to catch Josuke Higashikata hiding somewhere?"

“But without your help, it would be difficult for him to even get close to me, let alone rescue you right now.”

"Let me savor your blood! Afterwards, I'll implant a flesh bud in your brain and make you my DIO's maid!"

The sharp fingernails that had already extended moved closer to Sakuya's neck.

"!"

Just when DIO was convinced he was about to succeed, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be two more people beside him.

"Dula la la!!!"

When I became conscious, I had already taken countless punches.

How can it be? !

Seeing Sakuya behind Josuke, DIO glanced at Sakuya, who was still caught up in the world.

There are two Casters?!

"Dulala lala!!"

Crazy Diamond's fists continued to rain down on him. In order to break the deadlock, he had no choice but to ask the world to release Sakuya from her restraints.

Just as the world was about to launch an attack in their direction, Josuke was pulled away by Sakuya behind him, and in an instant, he appeared in the distance.

"Clap."

Lying on the ground, DIO looked somewhat bewildered.

Without a doubt, that was the power of accelerated time.

Could it be that the Caster he just caught was a fake?

No. That Caster used the same ability; it couldn't be fake.

So what exactly is this...?

"You seem to have some knowledge of my intelligence, but it's never complete."

"The ability to manipulate time is not as superficial as you think."

The two Sakuyas stood side by side, each speaking a sentence.

Sakuya considered herself to have mastered the art of manipulating time.

The other Sakuya is not a "low-level" existence such as an illusion or a clone.

Rather, it is "another version of herself in another timeline" that she created by manipulating time.

That is, to "create" another version of oneself online in another time period.

This is the terrifying "underlying strength" of Izayoi Sakuya, the head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Sakuya, who initially stood before DIO, was the real person.

Sakuya, who hid with Josuke, was also herself.

Both can manipulate time and are perfectly synchronized.

It's understandable that DIO would be unable to distinguish the truth and would be deceived.

Because that was indeed a "real person".
