Dio was overwhelmed with joy after seeing [King Crimson] as he now had a powerful offensive aside from the [World]! The Epitaph and Time Erasure ability were really strong that it might be even better than the [World]’s ability to stop time! The only downside was that the short range to activate this ability! However, it didn’t matter for Dio right now.
Dio could summon 5 Stands at the same time. He could use [the World] to get close to the enemy if he was ever so desperate to close the distance. [King Crimson] might use a big amount of Hamon Energy, but it wasn’t something that Dio had to concern himself with. His Hamon Energy had already reached 5 million, so he could do anything he wanted!
Even in the battle against Mephisto earlier, he used 4 Stand at the same time and he still had many reserved Hamon Energy! But still Dio was a little bit worried that he couldn’t use Epitaph and Time Erasure at the same time as [The World]’s Time Stop, after all it would be seriously overkill!
But at the end of the day, he had to try it himself before he could decide what to do in the future! So, with that thought in mind, Dio immediately summoned [King Crimson]. He wanted to experiment with these two new abilities he got so that he could use it efficiently in the future.
He called for Wanda and Pietro to come over and help him with his new ability. Wanda was excited about it, but Pietro was grumbling as Dio had just interrupted him from killing the boss in his console game.
“So what do you want to test first?” Wanda asked curiously.
“First, come at me, Pietro! And when it was over, I want you to tell me what you saw.” Dio said casually.
“Alright, that’s good.” Wanda said with a smile on her face. She was curious about Dio’s new ability. Furthermore, this was the first time Dio ever wanted their help to test out his ability, so she knew that it must have been a powerful one!
Pietro’s frowning face immediately changed into a smirk as he finally got the opportunity to attack Dio without upsetting Wanda. He was confident that he could land a punch or two on Dio’s face!
Seeing Pietro’s smirk, Dio immediately knew what Pietro was thinking and so, he deliberately taunted Pietro. “If you can land a punch on me, I’ll leave you alone with your game!” Dio said casually.
Pietro smirked as he knew that he could take his time to make sure he land a punch now. He knew that there was no way he could beat Dio in a fight, but landing a punch shouldn’t be that hard! Pietro immersed himself to the possibility of punching Dio and even wondered whether he could snap a photo to commemorate the moment!
“Now come on, attack me!” Dio said with a smile on his face. Pietro was burning with motivation and so, he started to run towards Dio.
Dio knew that Pietro was motivated, so he immediately used Epitaph. He immediately saw the [King Crimson]’s head in front of him and he saw that Pietro would come from his side with an insane speed! It was clear to Dio that Pietro was really trying hard to attack him! He couldn’t help but think that Pietro did all this just so that Wanda saw him as a reliable older brother, but Dio didn’t really care that much!
He already saw what he needed, so he immediately activated the Time Erasure exactly a few second before Pietro was hitting him in the face! He immediately saw the scene around him split into frames, and then he bent his body to dodge Pietro’s attack.
Wanda was able to see Pietro’s movement and saw that he would be able to hit Dio with his current speed. Pietro was like a ghost as his movement was hard to read with that insane speed that he had, but the next scene that she saw completely threw her off as he saw that Dio was easily evading all of Pietro’s attack like it was nothing. No matter how fast Pietro was moving, he couldn’t touch even a single strand of hair in Dio’s body!
After several seconds, Dio stopped and so did Pietro. But Pietro frowned as he seemed like being toyed with. He didn’t know how Dio was able to dodge everything that he has thrown on him, but he knew that it was impossible for him to comprehend Dio’s ability.
Pietro knew that not even a superhuman with beast-like ability would be able to dodge his attack. Dio’s ability to dodge his attack was like a precognition ability, meaning that Dio might be able to foresee where the attack would be landing!
But how could it be? Such an ability was like a cheat, and there was no way somebody would have that ability that easily without any drawback! Pietro has already guessed that Dio had the ability to stop the time, but his ability right now had nothing to do with stopping time!
At the same time, Dio just smiled as he saw that Pietro was confused by what happened. He knew that he couldn’t humiliate Pietro in front of Wanda as he was still his brother in law!
