Chapter 690
The storm was still raging, but Dio didn’t stop advancing. He knew that he would pay the price for walking through the storm like this, but there was nothing else he could do about it.
“Shit, here they come again!” Dio said as he noticed the time flow differently once more. Inside the storm, Dark Crystal certainly manipulated the time with the Time Stone and created an area where the time was flowing slower while some other area was flowing faster, creating confusion!
It was obviously working as Dio was torn apart by desires, madness, and now confusion! But Dio still wouldn’t let himself fall to the ground! He held his body and forced himself to stand up and move one step after another. Then again, Dio knew that he would reach his limit very soon. He had to admit that Dark Crystal had outdone herself with this storm as it was really full of destruction and madness!
The storm’s power was too much. The torment wouldn’t stop, and it was so difficult to move even just one step forward! Reality Stone was really able to create some incredible reality!
“Damn it!” Dio said as he pounded the ground hard enough to vent himself from the emotion that started to build up in his mind. But just then, a laugh was heard from the depths of the storm.
“You can’t even reach me after so long! This is ridiculous! You can stay here and die for all I care, and I will keep your body intact and turn them into tablets that I would consume three times a day to see how long you would make me happy!” Dark Crystal’s voice echoed through the storm.
This time, Dio smirked and began to move once again. His heart couldn’t stand this anymore, so he summoned [The World], [King Crimson], [White Album], [Horus], and [The Hand]!
“I said that I will kill you, and I will not go back on my words!” Dio said on the brink of insanity! He immediately used [The Hand] to erase the space in front of him at an unimaginable speed. It wasn’t until he burst out of the storm that he realised that he was only inside a small area that was controlled perfectly by the Reality Stone and the Time Stone!
Now Dio realised that the storm was just an illusion created from the Reality Stone, and it just made an illusion that Dio wanted to see. Dio failed to realise such things as the distortion of the time flow and mental torture prevented him from seeing through this illusion. If Dio was still inside the storm, he wouldn’t be able to find out about the truth!
Dio smirked as he found Dark Crystal’s secret and immediately ordered [The Hand] to stand in the middle of the storm. Dio knew that if he entered the Eye of the Storm once more, he would definitely lose his sense of reality once again, and thus he decided to play big this time!
Dio pumped [The Hand] with a lot of Hamon Energy as he wanted to increase [The Hand]’s range of Space erasure. Dio has already done his research in advance and already tested his theory with several Stands beforehand. It was feasible to enhance a certain ability of the Stand by giving up a large amount of Hamon Energy to that Stand!
Even so, how much amount of Hamon Energy and the Range of Effect that the Stand would receive was still completely unknown! Dio couldn’t seem to make a logical sense on how much improvement that the Stand got with this method, so he rarely used it to save his Hamon Energy.
But this wasn’t the time he could afford to play it safe! He had to use [The Hand] to clear his obstacle to find Dark Crystal!
The Aether Storm has expanded in front of Dio. It seemed to stretch out infinitely in a small amount of time, or maybe it was just another illusion that Dark Crystal wanted Dio to see, but in the end, it wouldn’t matter anymore!
“Don’t disappoint me!” Dio said towards [The Hand]
[The Hand] nodded silently and made a gesture that he would be useful for Dio. It immediately raised his right hand as high as it could, and a layer of transparent energy was gathering on its right hand. Dio paid attention to the amount of Hamon Energy he had and noticed that it was going down very quickly! It seemed [The Hand] used his Hamon Energy without any reservation in mind.
The Transparent Energy on [The hand]’s hand began to condense at the size of a basketball before a flash of light appeared on its eyes. [The Hand] immediately made a cutting move towards the empty space in front of him as he finally used its ability to erase space!
Dio smirked as he instantly moved along with [The Hand] and immediately appeared on top of Dark Crystal.
“I finally caught you! You are welcome to seek revenge again in the afterlife!” Dio said with a frenzied smirk on his face. Dio lifted his face as his mind was finally cleared again.
At the same time, Dark Crystal was surprised that Dio suddenly appeared out of nowhere, but she calmed herself down quickly. She knew that Dio had so many strange power, so she knew that she would be in for more surprises.
She already expected this much. Otherwise, she would be utterly embarrassed that Dio could kill her once. Now, the real game had just begun!
The eye of the storm where Dark Crystal was standing was extraordinarily quiet. There was nothing in several meters around her, and this revelation made Dio a little bit bugged as he didn’t understand what Dark Crystal was trying to do.
But Dio knew that something was definitely up as soon as he heard Dark Crystal’s next word!
“Do you know why this place is so quiet even though it was the middle of a storm?” Dark Crystal asked calmly. “That is because my control isn’t that great, but in here, I am the Omnipotent God!” Dark Crystal said while laughing out loud!
