"What do we do now? Just Stand here and wait to die?"
"Let me think…"
Kai Ishida lowered his head, a glimmer of light occasionally flashing in his eyes.
A moment later, when Kai Ishida looked up again, Star Platinum had already appeared behind him.
Then he slowly walked to the wall.
The wall was already covered in spiderweb-like cracks, severely damaged by Diver Down's barrage of attacks.
Even if left untouched, it would collapse soon.
At that point, without a load-bearing wall, coupled with the scorching fire, the entire building would likely collapse.
By then, even Kai Ishida couldn't guarantee he could escape with Weather and Anasui.
But compared to that outcome, he now had a better option.
"ora—"
Before Anasui and Weather could react, Star Platinum's fist had already landed on the wall.
"Crack—"
A shattering sound rang out.
A hole large enough for a person to pass through appeared in the wall.
However, on the other side of the hole was a dead end.
"This time, we're really finished!"
"Crack—"
As the wall collapsed, the roof also fell without warning.
"Bang—"
The building collapsed.
The multi-story building crumbled in an instant, burying the three figures of Kai Ishida.
Within mere tens of seconds.
Only a pile of rubble remained at the scene, with no sound emanating from within the ruins.
It was then that Versus and Father Pucci slowly emerged from the side.
Looking at the scene before him, Father Pucci frowned.
He didn't believe that Kai Ishida, who possessed Star Platinum, would die so easily here.
"I think we still need to verify it, after all…"
But Father Pucci's words were only half-spoken when Versus's displeased voice came from beside him, "Are you questioning my abilities?"
"Although it's rude to say so, I think it's better to be cautious," Father Pucci said calmly.
Through Jotaro's memories, he didn't just read DIO's notes; he rewatched the entire Part Three.
This included the battle with High Priestess.
Teeth as hard as diamonds could be pierced by Star Platinum's fists, let alone an ordinary wall.
However, Versus, who hadn't read Jotaro's memories, clearly didn't understand this.
He merely thought Father Pucci was questioning his abilities and his noble lineage.
But for Father Pucci, who had helped him awaken his Stand, he was willing to indulge his unreasonable request.
"In that case, let you witness their deaths with your own eyes," Versus said, digging into the rubble.
The memory of the earth was once again unearthed.
The figures of Kai Ishida's three men once again appeared before Father Pucci.
Until the rubble buried their bodies, Star Platinum behind Kai Ishida made no move.
And the three seemed to have resigned themselves to their fate, standing stunned in place.
Then, they were buried by countless broken stones.
"Whew—"
Witnessing this scene, Father Pucci also felt relieved, then turned his head and said to Versus with an apologetic tone:
"Sorry, I was too suspicious. Now, let's wait for the New Moon in this room."
"…" Versus looked at Father Pucci silently, saying nothing.
Then he began to dig further into the ground.
Soon!
Jolyne Cujoh's group's whereabouts were also exposed by his ability.
"I think it's better to clear all obstacles!" Versus's expression was very cold.
For a moment, Father Pucci even saw a hint of DIO in him.
But despite this, Father Pucci still shook his head in refusal.
"I think it's better for us to wait here peacefully for the New Moon, even though you just dealt with three of the enemy Stand Users."
"But the other side might have other helpers, and then things might not be within our control."
At this point, the man Father Pucci had encountered at Cape Canaveral came to his mind.
Perhaps due to gravity, the man named Giorno might also interfere.
But Versus, who had just awakened his Stand and killed three of the enemy's main generals, didn't think so.
"In that case, I'll defeat them all by myself."
Saying that, he deactivated his ability.
The surrounding buildings gradually disappeared, returning to their original hospital room appearance.
However, it was then that Father Pucci noticed a very large cloud behind Versus.
"This ability… Be careful, Versus!"
Father Pucci shouted loudly, then instantly summoned White Snake.
And Versus also reacted similarly.
But just as he bent down, wanting to activate his Underground World ability again, a flash of light streaked across.
"Pfft—"
Versus's arm was severed at the root.
And without his arm, the Underground World ability could not be activated.
Versus himself also lay on the ground, wailing in pain.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, Father Pucci immediately wanted to leave the hospital room.
However, when he opened the door to the room, he saw Kai Ishida's figure.
He leaned against the doorframe, a slight smile on his lips, and spoke calmly:
"Sorry, this way is blocked!"
Then, Star Platinum appeared behind him, and a pair of iron fists began to strike wildly.
"ora ora ora ora ora ora ora—"
"ora ora ora ora ora ora ora—"
"ora ora ora ora ora ora ora—"
"Damn it!"
Watching the constantly enlarging fists in his vision, Father Pucci had no choice but to summon White Snake to block in front of him.
"White Snake"
And White Snake was summoned twice within a few seconds.
He was just about to complain.
But when he saw Star Platinum's iron fists.
Thousands of words finally converged into a national essence.
"F-U-C-K!"
Then it began to twist and deform continuously.
Father Pucci's mental strength had stabilized again, so White Snake's speed also returned to a pitiful D.
Against Star Platinum, who had a god-tier panel, it could only take a beating at this moment.
And just a few breaths later, Kai Ishida stopped time again.
＼(≧∇≦)／
[The World]
Time stopped flowing.
And taking advantage of this opportunity, Kai Ishida also moved Weather's body behind Father Pucci, and made Weather's palm hold Father Pucci's wrist, resting on Father Pucci's forehead.
After doing all this, Kai Ishida nodded in satisfaction.
"Time, resume flow!"
Time flowed again.
"This is…?!" Father Pucci was a little confused.
How did his hand end up on his forehead?
But this confusion didn't last long before it was replaced by terror.
"No…!!" Seemingly knowing what was about to happen, Father Pucci subconsciously tried to retract White Snake.
But Weather's movements were one step faster than him.
Weather, through the power of his bloodline, briefly manipulated White Snake's ability through physical contact.
A Stand disc instantly flew out from Father Pucci's forehead!
And then it was steadily caught by Kai Ishida!
"White Snake, you're mine!"
