Uplifting Journey

"Ran?"

In the flat ruins full of debris, Jotaro regained consciousness instantly amidst the time-deletion frame skipping phenomenon, his face sank like water, and his eyes swept inch by inch where the desperate man was standing.

Platinum Star's sharp eyes printed, magnified, and analyzed all the captured details in the ruins, but no matter how he looked, Jotaro couldn't find any traces of the enemy's departure.

That sinful guy seems to have evaporated out of thin air, or it didn't exist from the beginning.

"Judging from the previous battle, in the state of time removal, his state is a bit similar to the phantom of the starry sky that can be blurred last time, but the 'result' after the removal should leave traces of past activities."

Even if the time of Platinum Star is stopped, when he is active, he will also touch the matter synchronously, leaving a movement track formed by the displacement airflow.

In the previous battles, Diablo, who was erasing time, seemed to have no interference with everything, but in the end he would still leave a complete track of the past—even if it was incompatible with the development of other things in reality.

According to the enemy's time estimated in the previous battle, Jotaro flew around the ruins at high speed and then stopped in mid-air. He had to admit that Diablo was completely out of the capture range of his perception.

"The Crimson King." After taking a deep breath, Jotaro let out a long sigh, "Sure enough, he has deeper abilities. What is the essence of time erasure?"

In the high-intensity battle, with Platinum Star's super sense, Jotaro has vaguely noticed the strangeness of Diablo's stand-in ability.

After a moment of silence, the figure of the man covered in a blue-purple phantom flashed, tore through the air and rushed to a higher sky, grabbing a huge eyeball with a diameter of about half a meter——

This strange eye floating in the sky like a small hot air balloon has a bloated body of flesh and blood, several tentacles with different shapes at the ends, and exposed crystal pupils.

The eyes of flesh and blood, which are inlaid with layers of crystal sheets similar to SLR lenses, together with the "eye sockets" and a few attached eyes at the end of the tentacles, turned to Jotaro at the same time after a magnificent change of "pupils".

This is a terrifying creature that can cause nightmares for ordinary people who come into contact with it. Any normal person who sees this kind of life that is completely inconsistent with human aesthetics will definitely not feel closeness and friendliness in his heart.

But for Jotaro, the big eyes are okay.

A life that challenges the three views more than this, and it's not like he hasn't seen the notorious BIG last time in the laboratory. It's far more weird and terrifying than this.

To be honest, in Jotaro’s opinion, a functional biological unit like a giant eye is actually far friendlier than the black cat in the German laboratory that deliberately made its appearance——

At least the position of the former is very clear, and the latter. Why doesn't that silly girl Xu Lun have a long memory? ! If I had known earlier, I should have let her and her mother leave first.

Shaking his head to get rid of the unknown fire in his heart, Jotaro looked at the big eyeballs and asked, "What is the real ability of the Scarlet King? Don't say you don't know."

"Similar to the timeline jump?" The big eyeballs without eyelids trembled, and the end of a tentacle vibrated the air and said, "As sharp as you, you should have probably guessed it?"

After briefly explaining his observations and conjectures about the Crimson King, the big-eyed eyes turned to the ruins below and sighed softly: ". Now this should be the timeline and timeline when Diablo will escape early. The timeline of your fight has been clipped together.

"Unfortunately, the backbone of the 'result' is the battle line. If the distorted time point was earlier and the escape line was the main body, maybe the tragedy in this city could be saved.

"However, according to the past performance of the Crimson King, during the editing process of the timeline, the timeline jumps are generally things closely related to Diablo himself. It is estimated that it is difficult to change the reality on a large scale. Maybe that consumes a lot of time. Bigger? After all, it has to involve an earlier point in time, and the entity that jumps in the timeline is also larger.”

Jotaro's heart moved when he heard the words. Although he habitually didn't show his emotions on his face, his big eyes, whose vision was strengthened to the limit, still caught that fleeting micro-expression, so the vocal cavity at the end of the tentacles came out. There was a burst of laughter: "That's right, if you push him a little more, maybe he will change the past more profoundly in order to escape or compromise.

"Then the city will have a certain possibility to return to its original state, why not try it? I'm curious if you will remember this when the timeline jump occurs."

Jotaro took a deep look at the strange creature in front of him: "Let's not talk about how I will find him now, since Diablo has this level of ability, how can I push him to a corner?"

"Didn't you already do it?" The big eyeball that glanced at the ruins below waved its tentacles, "Don't worry, from my records, Diablo himself didn't realize that he had this ability at all. It's the Crimson King's independent act, and using this ability will definitely pay a huge price, otherwise he would have ruled the world long ago, wouldn't he?"

Jotaro carefully recalled the previous battle experience, and then slowly nodded in agreement.

"No matter how incomprehensible the ability is, the human spirit has its limits, especially when multiple timeline memories are involved. I think it's enough for you to maintain the pressure of chasing. You don't have to be as tired as before. Take it easy and give it to you." Something." The tip of a tentacle extending from the huge eyeball squirmed, and nodded at the collar of Jotaro's white windbreaker.

Jotaro frowned slightly, but still slightly withdrew the physical interference force generated by the Platinum Star, allowing the sharp-pointed tentacles to pierce his collar, leaving a blood-red ring that was almost jade-like in texture.

After leaving the ring port, the big eyeballs silently floated to the sky, and at the same time, the ring material on Jotaro's collar trembled at a very high frequency and said: "You know the situation of my substitute, through this gadget, I I can convey to you the analysis results of the multiple timeline intelligence I captured. My investigation units are gathering and undergoing targeted transformation.

"Diablo's smell, voice, appearance, bone structure, genes and other characteristics have all been recorded by me. The cost of large-scale replication of the investigation unit that searches for information solidification is very low. As long as he is still on the earth, he will escape. Out of my palm."

If it weren't for the platinum star's extraordinary senses, Jotaro probably wouldn't be able to understand the directional shock wave released by the bloody ring—it's fine if the sound amplitude is low, so a long paragraph is forced to be compressed into less than one-tenth of a second The frequency effect of the boom can be called the howl of the banshee. Is this what people listen to?

With a somewhat complicated mood, Jotaro raised his hand and rubbed the ring with his fingers covered with a faint phantom. Then he slightly adjusted his habit of controlling Platinum Star, allowing the extremely burly Platinum Star to control the clothes. The plug-in props on the collar are "specially" protected.

After lowering his eyes and silently surveying the dark and silent city, Jotaro who waited for the first positioning signal fixed his eyes, and his figure disappeared into the sky accompanied by the rolling thunder that exploded out of thin air.
