It has been a few days since Doma died.
It was past midnight in the city. Valentine and Jolyne were walking to the docks. Valentine had the briefcase with the corpse.
"Why are we in a hurry?" Jolyne asked as they were walking in a hurry.
"So that we don't cross paths with Dio." Valentine said.
"Dio? As if in the winner of the Steel Ball Run?" Jolyne asked surprised.
"Yes, Diego Brando is in Japan. Stand users draw more stand users. I don't want him to know that I'm here." Valentine said.
"What if he does see us? We can take him on." Jolyne said.
As much as she hated to admit, Valentine's stand was stronger than hers and with the both of them combined, they can take on anyone.
'So what can he do?' Jolyne wondered.
"Jojo, his stand is as good as mine. The only difference is that it looks golden and can stop time." Valentine explained.
"S-s-stop time!?" She exclaimed in surprise. She didn't think stands could be that powerfull.
"Yes." Valentine said.
"T-then he probably can't use it-"
"He can use it as much as he wants." Valentine said as Jolyne understood how terrifying Diego was.
Unknown to them, someone was listening to their conversation.
They both sensed an incoming attack. Before both of them could bring out their stands completely, Valentine was hit in the back by a grotesque whip.
"Ack!" Barely defending himself with D4C, Valentine was hit through a nearby store. He dropped the briefcase.
"What the-!?" Jolyne looked behind her to see a demon with multiple whips.
"Another demon?!" Jolyne exclaimed in frustration as Muzan approached them.
'Wait, he's getting closer to the corpse! I need to stop him!' Jolyne dashed at him.
Muzan noticed the despiration in her face and didn't back down. "I'm Muzan." Muzan said sending a whip.
'It's fast!' Jolyne thought as she barely dodged it. The whip shattered the road on impact.
"Whoa!" Jolyne tried to keep her balance.
But for the instant she took her eyes off him, Muzan was already infront of her with his hand ready to blow her face off.
'Shit!' Jolyne tried to move and avoid the incoming attack. It seemed as if time slowed down for her.
But then she was pulled backwards away from his range while a white-pink fist digs into Muzan's face.
The punch knocks Muzan back a little while Valentine rushed forward with D4C.
He delivers a punch barrage on Muzan. In mere seconds, Muzan's pummelled body flew into another building beside them.
"Jolyne, take the corpse and run away." Valentine ordered.
"What!?" Jolyne exclaimed in surprise.
"You're clearly no match for him. I can't risk having him exposed to the corpse." Valentine got his flag out.
Jolyne couldn't disagree with him. It would be a calamity to face Muzan, The Demon King with a stand.
The building Muzan was pummelled into collapsed and Muzan walked out with his sentient whips ready.
"Go!" Valentine shouted as Jolyne grabbed the briefcase and started running away.
"You two..." Muzan started staring at Valentine.
"And that boy and his father...you stand users sure disposed of my upper moons easily." Muzan said. Even now he didn't know what Valentine could do.
'Giorno and Dio caught up to the others?' Valentine thought. This means that both Giorno and Dio were heading this way.
"I'll kill you blond bastards!" Muzan dashed towards Valentine in his top speed.
Muzan was done with using whips to blow his opponents away. He knew that Valentine would just dodge it.
So Muzan tried to use his fingers to claw away Valentine. Valentine just backed off and moved out of his swing.
D4C sends a punch towards Muzan's face but to Valentine's surprise, Muzan dodges it by moving his head.
"What!?" Valentine exclaimed in surprise. Does this mean that Muzan has a stand?
Suddenly a Crimson striped fist manifests from Muzan and punches D4C in the face.
'He has a stand!?' Valentine thought. He was shocked. Muzan got exposed to the corpse?
Valentine could still tell that Muzan was an ametuer. While Muzan's stand's fist was digging into D4C's face, D4C kicked muzan in the abdomen that sends him flying into a lampost.
Muzan healed Instantly and didn't even fall down. He stood up again. Muzan had fragmented pupils.
Valentine was clutching his broken jaw. 'Shit...when he tried to claw Jolyne's face off, he got exposed to the corpse.' Valentine thought.
Muzan was posing there...MENACINGLY!
"For the past few centuries, I thought I was the perfect creature. That I had everything...But now I have eternal life, immortality and...STANDO POWAH!" Muzan shouted as his stand appeared beside him.
Valentine got a good look at it.
It was a humanoid Stand of a height and build similar to Muzan's, but tends to look much bigger and taller. Its body is covered by a raised diagonal grid; save for its face, neck, shoulder guards, elbows, hands, abdomen, crotch, knees, and feet/footwear.
Its eyes comprise sharp orifices of a steep inward slant; from which emerge small, round eyes without sclera, with pronounced eye sockets that have fragmented pupils. Its crown is flat and from its forehead emerges a raised level that bears a smaller, oval face of the same expression. There were two raised levels. It constantly bares its teeth through a small mouth.
"This stand...I'll name it King Crimson." Muzan said.
'I can't let him learn to use it!' Valentine thought as he approached Muzan.
Muzam then pointed his finger at Valentine. "There's a napkin in your pocket with your birthday on it, isn't there?" Muzan asked as Valentine was surprised.
'He can read minds? Is that what that little face on his stand for?' Valentine thought as he continued.
"There's a 10 yen coin under your feet." Muzan said.
'I'm not even going to verify that.' Valentine started running at him.
D4C swung it's hand at King Crimson but it moved away before he even swung.
'What?' Valentine thought as he continued missing. This was it. Valentine needs to hit Muzan at full power.
Even in the deserted, empty streets they were fighting, it wasn't completely dark.
The lights inside houses were starting to light up and doors were opening.
"What is going on?" A civilian asked stepping outside. More and more people exited their houses opened the door to look at the scene.
"What happened to Tashiro's shop!?" A woman screamed out.
"Is that a demon!?" Another screamed.
'A panic isn't the last thing I need but it would be better for it to not happen!' Valentine thought.
"So annoying." Muzan smiled as Valentine prepared for an attack.
'He's going-
In the next instant, Valentine suddenly finds himself laying in the rubble while bracing himself with D4C.
'What?' Valentine gasped. He doesn't remember how he ended up here.
He got up to see his surroundings in flames, houses were collapsed, people were bleeding, crying in pain.
He looked at his 3 o'clock to see Muzan with his whips out.
'Was my memory erased?' Valentine thought. It was clear that Valentine successfully defended himself against whatever Muzan did.
But it didn't feel like it...it felt more like time was stopped... it felt all too familiar because he still remembers the last few seconds but forgot the next few?
'It's so precise...It's dangerous. I need to get rid of it!' Valentine stood up and picked up a broken lampost.
"You're scared, aren't you?" Muzan asked as Valentine dashed at him.
"You don't scare me." Valentine scoffed as Muzan smiled.
"First I'll kill you!" Muzan exclaimed as King Crimson sent punches towards Valentine who dodged.
All Valentine had to do is to hit Muzan with an object to banish him, not the stand.
D4C sends punches at King Crimson who gets hit by most of it. "Ack!"
It seems King Crimson can't dodge D4C's faster than light punches.
Valentine then noticed something. Muzan was very injured. 'That's right! Any damage to the stand gets transferred to the user. Any 30% for the stand would mean 30% damage for the user regardless of their size!' Valentine thought.
Muzan's limbs, whips and legs were constantly getting broken and healing. D4C kicks Muzan in the legs which cripples him.
'Now's my chance!' Valentine thought as D4C grabbed the lampost and Valentine and swung it Muzan to slam it on him and send him to another dimension.
Just when D4C was in the middle of it's swing...
The next thing Valentine sees is that the lampost's head shattered on the ground but Muzan wasn't there.
'It happened again!' Valentine thought. Just like last time, he was in an another position.
"Your actions...Are meaningless!" Valentine glanced behind him to see King Crimson
'He's behind me!' Valentine got chopped by King Crimson on his shoulder who was behind him.
"Ack!" Valentine stumbles onto the ground from the shoulder pain.
"After I kill you, I'll kill that time stopper." Muzan smiled as he drew his hand near Valentine's face to claw it off.
Valentine being injured like that, couldn't move. So he couldn't jump to another dimension.
"Before I die...can you please tell me what your stand ability is?" Valentine asked bleeding out.
"Hmph...to be honest, I'm not entirely sure myself but...it has something to do with time." Muzan said.
'I knew it.' Valentine thought as Muzan swiped his hand at Valentine's head.
But...Valentine vanished out of existence in a second.
"What!?" Muzan exclaimed in confusion.
"What is this?! This was not...This isn't the future..." Muzan vividly tried to remember what he saw.
"With Epitaph... I saw that he would die!" Muzan exclaimed in fury. He didn't see Valentine vanishing in his vision.
He disappeared his stand. With an ability like his, he's invincible...well the only one that poses a threat is that time stopper.
Muzan heard footsteps. He looked at the street beside him to see Jolyne.
"You...You killed Daki and Gyutaro." Muzan said recognising her.
"H-how do you know that?" Jolyne said approaching him.
'That man...maybe his corpse evaporated? Even if his stand power is able to teleport, there should be no way for him to survive that...I'll deal with her now.' Muzan thought.
"I know everything about my demons lady. It doesn't affect me much that they died but it's the fact that they died to a stand user." Muzan said as they approached eachother.
"How about this, if you join me then I won't kill you." Muzan offered.
"What makes you think that you can't beat me?" Jolyne asked manifesting her stand.
'Where is Valentine? Did Muzan beat him?' Jolyne thought.
"This." Muzan said as he manifested his stand as well.
"Y-you have a stand!?" Jolyne exclaimed in shock. It seems Muzan got exposed to the corpse.
"Yes so before we fight, let us exchange stand names? I haven't the pleasure of hearing your friend's one before he died." Muzan said as he approached.
Having there been enough tension in Jolyne, she dashed at Muzan.
"Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora!" Stone Free sent punches at Muzan and King Crimson who just took it. Muzan gets pushed back a bit.
"Is that all?" Muzan asked as he and his stand healed instantly.
'Shit! That regeneration of his is troublesome!' Jolyne thought.
"Well now it's my turn!" King Crimson sends a punch at Stone Free with his left hand.
Only to see that that King Crimson's left hand was gone as well as all of Muzan's whips on his left side.
"Huh?" Jolyne and Muzan was confused.
"Muda!" A faster than light punch hits King Crimson right in the face as Muzan's face distorted from the punch.
Jolyne glanced behind Muzan to see Diego standing behind him. If a hat with 'DIO' written didn't mean that that was Diego than Jolyne didn't know what did.
'Shit!' Muzan should've used Epitaph and not have been so careless.
"Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda!" THE WORLD delivers a barrage of punches on Muzan and King Crimson.
Muzan crashes into the rubble from the force of all those punches.
"He has a stand?" Diego said with a finger on his chin. Regardless, no stand can match THE WORLD.
"It...that should be impossible if his connection to his demons were true according to my theory." Giorno walked towards Diego.
"Unless he recently got it. Maybe most of the other demons are dead." Diego said as he looked at Jolyne and noticed the birthmark on her shoulder.
'A Joestar.' Diego thought.
"We are here to help." Shinobu said as she was near the rubble. All the Hashiras and many demon slayers were present. They were here to help im anyway they can.
"No thanks Shinobu but Muzan has a stand now. You guys don't stand a chance." Giorno said.
'And how did he get a stand? Was he exposed to the corpse? I don't see Valentine or the corpse here.' Giorno thought.
"Eh! What ya mean we don't stand a chance!?" Sanemi yelled out.
"Yeah, we're here to help as well!" Mitsuri exclaimed as Giorno sighed.
"L-lets leave the work to them..." Zenitsu said. They were here too.
Tanjiro was impressed seeing a stand battle even though he can't see stands.
"Is he dead?" Inosuke asked.
"No, I still smell him." Tanjiro said.
Then the rubbles near Muzan scattered because he used his whips to whip them away.
"Took you a while to recover." Uzui said glaring at him.
"It doesn't matter." Diego dashed towards Muzan.
Muzan used Epitaph with his long hair.
'Yes...in the next four seconds I'm bloodied once again because he stopped time.' Muzan looked into the future and realized.
Muzan mentally counted down how closer Diego got. 'In three seconds he would stop time.' Muzan thought.
He might as well use King Crimson when Diego's in his range.
"King Crimson!" Muzan exclaimed as the world shattered into a void.
In this void only living beings and their objects remained.
"DIO...I suppose that's your name." Muzan looked infront of him to see Diego dashing towards him.
"According to my premonition, in the second for any normal person, you will disappear from here and apper two meters behind me." Muzan decided to observe Diego first. He even grew an eye at the back of his head.
Diego was still running and now had THE WORLD out ready to stop time.
"Now!" As Muzan expected, Diego vanished infront of him and appeared behind Muzan.
"Hahahahahahaha! Dio, your powers may be out of time but they are not out of fate!" Muzan exclaimed positioning himself and King Crimson beside Diego.
"Time will continue on it's natural path." Muzan said as time resumed normally.
Everyone was surprised. They were in a position they don't remember being. Diego was no less surprised.
"What!?" Diego yelled in shock seeing King Crimson standing beside him.
'What!? How!? Did he stop time!? Can he stop time!? Something happened with time!' Diego thought in frustration.
King Crimson tried to chop Diego with his right hand. Diego didn't expect this but he didn't give in to despair.
"Muda!" THE WORLD used his left hand to catch King Crimson's right hand and used his right hand to drive it through King Crimson's head.
Muzan's brains bleed once again but Diego made a grave mistake, King Crimson uses his left hand to chop Diego at the exact moment THE WORLD hit King Crimson's head.
'Shit!' Both of his stand's hands weren't free. Well, lets hope that helmet his stand has actually works.
Giorno and Jolyne saw the chop from King Crimson happen and Diego suddenly getting knocked back and being limp and falling towards the ground.
Only Jolyne and Giorno could see the stands but what everyone did see was a huge scar mark on Diego's right eye, starting from his hairline to his lips. Even the 'D' on his cap was broken.
(Kind of like what Jotaro recieved from Pucci)
"Father!" Giorno yelled out in shock. The others were no less shocked.
Having heard of what THE WORLD could do, they really couldn't think of a better power. Stopping time was the best and they had but now despair had invaded their hearts when Muzan killed Diego.
'If Diego can't beat him...' Tanjiro thought in despair.
"Muda!" A kick from THE WORLD hits King Crimson in the chin.
'What?!' Muzan thought surprised. His lower jaw shattered from that kick.
'He's still alive! He hasn't given up!' Tanjiro thought.
"Look!" Jolyne exclaimed as Giorno and the others looked. Before Diego even touched the ground, he was stll conscious and kicking.
"THE WORLD!" Diego yelled as he was half a second from touching the ground.
"Th-there's no way in hell...I'll lose to an inhuman scum like you." Diego said. Muzan was still in his range.
"Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda!" Just like he did with Doma, THE WORLD kept punching Muzan at the sky.
"You won't see me fall." Diego said as time resumed. Muzan was suddenly launched upwards the sky at speeds beyond sound.
"NOOO!" Muzan screamed in fury as he flew away.
"Yes!" Most of the demon slayers celebrated in joy.
Diego fell down on the ground as Jolyne and Giorno approached him.
"Father, hold on! Just close your eyes!" Giorno said as he started healing him.
'The wound isn't that deep.' Giorno thought. No wonder he remained conscious.
"What was his stand ability?" Jolyne asked confused. She still hasn't figured it out.
"His ability is to erase his fate and skip time." Valentine said approaching them.
'Is that Funny Valentine?' Diego thought the voice sounded familiar.
"Where were you this whole time?!" Jolyne asked.
'He's supposed to be here?' Diego didn't know what business Valentine had with a Joestar.
"I was trying to figure out his ability. He can erase his fate and skip time." Valentine said as they put it together.
Valentine had D4C out looking at Muzan in the sky. "Muzan's slowing down." Valentine said.
Just as Valentine said that, everyone stopped celebrating. "What!?" Zenitsu, Sanemi and Obanai exclaimed.
"He's going to come back." Diego clarified it for them. He figured that he didn't punch that bastard hard enough.
Indeed, Muzan grew meaty, featherless wings to slow his momentum and it was working.
"What do we do!?" Tanjiro, Jolyne and Uzui asked.
"Let me think!" Valentine yelled.
Right now Valentine has figured out two or three ways to deal with Muzan. He had two options basically.
Option A: Use Love Train
Obtion B: Obliterate King Crimson
With Option A, The corpse would be revealed but their chances of victory will increase.
The logic behind Option B is that if all of King Crimson has been obliterated then that would mean Muzan's soul has been too. Muzan would die. But the chanches of winning on Option B is low considering how Muzan can escape his fate.
They could also wait for sunrise alongside both of those options.
'Ah, screw it.' Valentine chose Option A.
"Jolyne, where's the corpse?" Valentine asked.
"Huh!?" Jolyne said surprise as Giorno was too.
"Huh?" Diego mused in confusion. The only corpse he thought that would help them would be Muzan's.
"We need it to beat him!" Valentine shouted.
"It's beside all that rubble near her!" Jolyne said pointing to Kanao.
"Huh?" Kanao muttered confused.
"There should be a briefcase near you, bring it to us!" Valentine ordered.
Kanao immediately looked around and with the help of her eyesight, she found a briefcase in the rubble.
She picked it up and took it to them in a few moments. "Thanks." Jolyne thanked.
"What are you going to do?" Giorno was about to witness the rumoured holy corpse at work.
"I need a catalyst!" Valentine remembered that he needs someone like Lucy.
"A catalyst?" Diego asked confused getting up. He has been healed by Giorno.
Valentine frantically looked around to find someone similar to Lucy.
He spotted Tanjiro. "Tanjiro! Bring your sister here!" Valentine ordered.
"What?" Tanjiro was worried for the safety of his sister. They were going to use her for a catalyst or something.
"If you don't bring her here then we'll all die!" Giorno yelled. Diego was surprised to hear such a tone from Giorno. Did Giorno know how did this corpse work?
"Our efforts will be for naught and there will a stand powered Muzan with an unmatchable might!" Giorno yelled.
"She will be fine and won't feel anything! She'll even be human again!" Jolyne heard about Nezuko from Valentine.
"Tanjiro! Go!" Shinobu cheered.
"Make her useful for once!" Sanemi yelled.
"Your sister will be fine." Mitsuri cheered.
"Probably." Tokito said.
Tanjiro gathered enough courage and ran towards the stand users.
He put down his box. "Nezuko! Come out! We need your help!" Tanjiro said as the door opened and Nezuko hopped out.
'So cute!' Jolyne and Mitsuri thought. Nezuko then grew bigger.
"Diego and Jolyne, you two will attack Muzan. Giorno defend us while I start the process." Valentine ordered as he sat Nezuko down.
"Yes." Jolyne and Giorno said.
"Don't tell me what to do." Diego said taking off his torn cap and threw it away.
Valentine told them what to do as he opened the briefcase and grabbed the corpse.
"Hold this." Valentine handed the corpse to Nezuko.
Suddenly something impacted the ground like a meteor. There was a shockwave and a crater.
Everyone looked to see Muzan glaring at them with veins popping up on his face. Muzan didn't have his whips any longer. They weren't helping him.
Muzan glared at the stand users in fury. He was going to kill all of them!
"KAAAAAAAAAAH!" Muzan roared charging.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHH!" Jolyne and Diego roared back as they charged as well.
"Ora!" "Muda!" Both Stone Free and THE WORLD punched King Crimson who punched both of them at the same time creating a shockwave.
They were all pushed back. "Argh!" Muzan healed and got back up as well as Jolyne and Diego.
All the stands started fighting.
"Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora!" Stone Free continued punching...
"Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda!" THE WORLD was punching alongside Stone Free.
"Jolyne and father...they're fighting in sync!" Giorno said in shock. Valentine found it unbelievable that Jojo and Dio are fighting together.
Indeed, THE WORLD and Stone Free had a lot of similarities but it was their user's will and determination that made them fight like one being.
"What is THIS?!" Muzan said in surprise. He wasn't able to dodge all of them and was pushed back. He was constantly getting injured and healing.
"King Crimson!" Muzan yelled as he used his stand ability. The world shattered into a void.
Jolyne and Diego were still fighting in sync.
"The only thing that's useless is your efforts!" Muzan positioned himself behind Jolyne and readied the fist of his stand.
"Take this!" Muzan yelled as time resumed.
Everyone found themselves in another position and most of them gasped.
King Crimson punched a hole through Jolyne's chest.
'What!?' Muzan thought in surprise. It seems King Crimson didn't create that hole.
Jolyne used Stone Free to create that hole by turning her chest into strings and moving them out of the way in time.
"You're predictable," Jolyne said.
"Ora!" Stone Free sliced King Crimson's hand off.
"Muda!" THE WORLD elbowed King Crimson in the chest.
"And weak." Diego smirked.
"Ack!" Muzan grunted in pain. He was getting beat up good.
Meanwhile, Valentine was preparing Love Train and Nezuko was turning into steel parts while her skin shed.
"Whay is this? Is she okay?!" Tanjiro asked worried.
"Is she even alive!?" Zenitsu asked in fury.
"She's unconscious. This form she's been granted by the corpse is unbreakable." Valentine said.
(I don't know if it actually is)
"How long untill it's ready?" Giorno asked.
"Just a few more minutes." Valentine said.
"King Crimson!" Muzan used his stand ability again.
This time he needs to make sure that they don't know where he is.
Muzan got infront of Diego spit some blood in his eyes.
He got beside Jolyne and did the same to her.
"Now neither of you won't know where I am." Muzan said positioning himself infront of Diego.
"Take this!" Muzan yelled as King Crimson threw a punch at Diego's chest as time resumes.
"Huh?!" Diego and Jolyne gasped in surprise.
King Crimson's fist impacted Diego's chest but...
Suddenly Muzan explodes into a bloody mess. "WHAT!?" Muzan shouted in surprise. Diego was able to stop time?
"Arrrghhh!" Jolyne screamed in pain. Both Jolyne and Diego didn't just have any blood, they had Muzan's poisonous blood in their eyes.
They were blind. They don't even know what happened to Muzan.
"They have Muzan blood in thier eyes!" Shinobu exclaimed as the others dashed towards Muzan to help them out.
'I...I can't see...' 'Curse this blindness!' Jolyne and Diego tried to locate Muzan.
"Die!" Muzan yelled but he was hit in the abdomen by a spiked flail.
'The demon slayers!?' Muzan thought as the Hashiras unleashed their forms on him.
"You'll die trying!" Muzan yelled as he grew whips and tried to hit them with it.
Meanwhile, Giorno was worried for them. "I need to go and heal them while he's distracted!" Giorno said.
"Then we'll be defenseless!" Valentine said.
"Meow." A cat said. All of them were surprised to see a cat in the middle of all this.
"That's Yushiro's cat!" Giorno and Tanjiro recognised the cat.
Valentine and the others were confused but hoped that the cat is useful.
"Meow." Chachamaru had a few talismans in it's mouth.
"With these they can see Muzan again!" Tanjiro said as Giorno grabbed two of them.
"Gold Experience!" Gold Experience manifested and turned two pieces of rubbles into squirells.
The squirrels took the talismans and started running towards Diego and Jolyne.
"Father! Jolyne! Stay put untill you can see." Giorno instructed.
"Huh?" "Tch" Jolyne and Diego said.
Meanwhile, Muzan here was taking an attack by all the Hashiras. He can't just go after one and hit him.
"King Crimson!" Muzan used his stand ability as the world crumbled into a void.
He slowly walks towards Diego and Jolyne as the demon slayers continue fighting.
Tokito gets his face split in half, Shinobu gets impaled, Gyomei loses his right hand, Rengoku gets beheaded, Sanemi loses his fingers, Mitsuri gets blasted as Giyuu loses his blade.
All of that happened in the last 7 seconds...well Muzan's actions were supposed to be the cause but that no longer exists.
"It's the results! Results are the only thing that matters in this world!" Muzan said as he got infront of Diego.
He needed to get rid of the time stopper first. "There's something on his head." Muzan noticed the talismans on Diego's and Jolyne's head.
"Probably nothing." Muzan said. While King Crimson was active, he couldn't deduct that those talismans are the result of a blood demon art.
Muzan positioned King Crimson to hit Diego straight in the head.
"Take this!" Muzan screamed as time resumed and King Crimson's fist got closer and closer...
Then all of a sudden Muzan was blown back as a bloody mess again.
"What!?" Muzan exclaimed in surprise. This time Diego for sure stopped time.
"Ora!" Stone Free hits King Crimson right in the abdomen.
"This is for blinding me you asshole!" Jolyne exclaimed.
'Those papers are the result of a blood demon art! They can see me because of that!' Muzan thought.
"We're not going to go down that easily!" Jolyne exclaimed.
Meanwhile, Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Giorno were shocked to see their Hashiras bleeding out on the floor like that.
"No! They're injured Tanjiro!" Zenitsu said.
"Gyomei, Shinobu, Tokito...No!" Tanjiro mourned for them.
'He fucking killed my son's girlfriend!?' Diego heard Tanjiro's mourn.
"Now is not the time to mourn!" Giorno tried to get them ready.
"D4C LOVE TRAIN!" Valentine exclaimed as golden bars of light manifested around Valentine, Tanjiro, Giorno and Nezuko.
Muzan felt a shiver going down his spine seeing such power. Muzan was between the golden rays of light and Diego and Jolyne. They had him surrounded.
Muzan wanted to know what this newfound power of that man does so he used Epitaph.
'What?!' Muzan was surprised. Epitaph showed him nothing about Valentine... just blank. It was like those barriers were protecting him.
"Heh...finally." Jolyne said. Diego was still silent. What was this power that Valentine's stand possessed?
"Tanjiro, carry your sister and come with us." Giorno said.
"Yes!" Tanjiro said but Zenitsu grabbed her instead.
"You do the fighting." Zenitsu gave Tanjiro a smile that meant that he would protect Nezuko with his life.
"Let's go!" Valentine yelled as the others did too. They all dashed at Muzan.
"Let's go, Dio!" Jolyne yelled.
"Don't tell me what to do!" Diego yelled as they ran towards Muzan as well.
This was a pincer attack and Muzan was terrified. He's never been this scared in centuries. Their plan was to push Muzan into the golden barriers.
"Hahahahahaha!" Muzan suddenly went into a laughing fit. This puts everyone off.
'What is this...?' Giorno thought as they slowed down.
"Don't slow down!" Diego wasn't having any of it. They're gonna kill Muzan right here, right now. They all started running towards Muzan at full speed.
"I still haven't used my ultimate move!" Muzan said.
"That is to..." Muzan said as they were getting closer and closer.
"Your next line will be, to run away." Jolyne predicted.
"To run away!" Muzan leaped 8 meters into the air in the direction where Diego and Jolyne were.
"No!" Tanjiro exclaimed in frustration.
"Stone Free!" Muzan's body was surrounded with strings from Stone Free.
Jolyne used Stone Free to pull back Muzan.
"RAAARGH CURSE YOU LITTLE SHITS!" Muzan shrieked in anger as Diego used his stand to leap towards him.
King Crimson manifested beside Muzan. "Kin-
"THE WORLD!" Diego stopped time before Muzan could skip it.
Everything is stopped, only the golden barriers still radiated energy.
"Good grief, I made it in time." Diego said looking down.
He hopes he looked down at Jolyne because he still can't see things clearly.
"Jolyne , you're truly a reliable girl. I'm glad that I came across you." Diego said. Then he faced forward.
"Now..." Diego now can give Muzan his final beatdown. He took a deep breath.
Muzan had this coming from Diego for harming him, his son and his son's girlfriend.
"Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda!" THE WORLD unleashed an avalanche of punches.
Muzan had many fist shaped holes in him.
"Time will resume." Diego said as time resumed.
"Ack!" Muzan turned into a bloody mess and got launched at Love Train's golden barriers.
"He made it!" Zenitsu said as Muzan went through the barriers and vanished out of existence.
Diego landed on the ground. Everyone stayed still.
"He's gone!" Valentine exclaimed as everyone started celebrating.
Diego and Jolyne fell down on the ground in exhaustion.
"I...guess they're tired." Giorno said.
Muzan landed in a desolate place with red soil.
"Where am I?!" Muzan said as he got up.
But then he held his neck in pain.'I...I'm suffocating!?' Muzan thought.
Wherever he was, there wasn't enough air for him talk. He decided to not to.
He walked carefully. He couldn't talk. 'Where am I?!' Muzan thought.
Then what he saw shocked him. 'Is...is that Saturn!?' Muzan saw Saturn from the surface of Mars.
'I...I'm not on Earth anymore!' Muzan was caught up in despair. He was sent this far away.
Muzan tried to live on Mars. He tried to find life here to demonize and use their blood demon arts to send him away.
For many centuries, Muzan couldn't find life. He eventaully gave up.
"The Demon Slayer Corps has been disbanded." Tanjiro said.
Giorno and Diego were at a cafe. They were drinking some coffee after what happened last night.
Tanjiro came here to deliver the news to them.
"Why don't you have a drink with us?" Giorno offered.
"I...I have to attend the funerals!" Tanjiro said.
"Alright then, goodbye." Giorno said.
"Goodbye!" Tanjiro bowed and and left them.
Giorno was sipping coffee.
"Shouldn't you attend the funeral? Your girlfriend died yesterday." Diego said.
Giorno chocked on his coffee hearing that. "My...my...my girlfriend!?" Giorno exclaimed.
"Nevermind...Where's Valentine and his magic corpse?" Diego said.
"Valentine took the corpse back to America." Giorno informed.
"Oh...what was that corpse anyway? Glowing lines and curing that girl's disease?" Diego asked.
"I'll explain." Giorno started explaining as Diego was listening.
The End
Alright guys, thats it for this chapter. Sorry for any spelling mistakes and please leave your reviews.
Now as you can probably guess, that in the next chapter, we'll be going through Option B
Now the reason I gave Muzan King Crimson is because Muzan's a lot like Diavolo.
I didn't give Muzan Green Day because he doesn't find human suffering precious.
Just like Diavolo, Muzan wants to be above all, he cares for no one, he kills everyone who knows of him, he makes sure nobody speaks a word about him. He's just Demon Diavolo. And as for the double personality...Muzan has like five brains so that's gotta mean something. But they all have one soul.
I have a question, how did Diavolo know he could Skip time? Like time passes normally for him while everyone has no memory and he's invincible. Being the isolated man Diavolo is and how rare it is to encounter a stand with a time ability like his, how could anyone confirm that he erased/skipped time? Did Diavolo get a Diploma in Gravity of Fate? Other than that, Diavolo himself shouldn't be able to know how King Crimson works...even Diavolo wouldn't know how King Crimson works!
Anyway, see you guys in the nexf chapter.
