However, his hair had grown quite a bit longer, and his originally jet-black hair had turned completely white.
His originally normal, healthy skin tone had turned coppery brown.
The color is like that of soil.
Was it because God created the first human being from clay...?
He does look somewhat similar to his counterpart in the One Piece world...
After taking in all the changes in his body, Xia Yan pondered in secret.
"You... these physical changes!? Could it be... you've already ascended to heaven!?"
Dio, who had been watching the whole thing from the sidelines, barely clinging to life, couldn't help but ask a question.
Dior is still alive.
But with only his head remaining, he was already like a candle flickering in the wind.
Although vampires possess powerful vitality.
However, if there is no way to replenish its blood in a short period of time, it will die quickly even if left unattended.
Chapter 123 Dio Who Died Was the Best Dio
Xia Yan looked at Dio, who had spoken up, and a strange smile appeared on his lips.
"Dio! I am neither your parent nor your elementary school teacher, and I have no obligation to answer your questions about life."
"But since you're going to die anyway, I'll tell you."
"There is only one last condition missing before I can fully ascend to heaven, and that is the time and place."
"I must travel to the point where the Prime Meridian intersects the equator, and wait there until the next full moon rises. At that time, I will ascend to heaven!"
"In the right place, wait for the full moon to arrive..."
Dio repeated Xia Yan's words.
At that moment, he desperately hoped that the situation for both sides could be reversed.
He desperately hoped that these words, which sounded like a declaration of victory, would come from his own mouth, DIO.
In a daze, he felt as if he had returned to that cruise ship from a hundred years ago.
This time, however, it was no longer Dio who held the initiative. There were no hostages, no undead men who obeyed his orders.
The opponent he would face was not that gentle and kind gentleman.
Dio's gaze swept across Joseph and Jotaro's faces.
An old American scoundrel, a pretentious Japanese scumbag...
JOJO, your descendants haven't even inherited one percent of your gentlemanly spirit...
Thinking of this, Dio felt a pang of nostalgia for that gentlemanly young man who would gently embrace him 850 years before his death.
Perhaps, at some point, even the savior of villains might recall his past.
Seeing Dio deep in thought, Xia Yan did not try to read his mind.
It wasn't that he wanted to save face for the other party.
Dio, who simply believed that he had lost his Stand, could not escape his fate of death no matter what he did.
For Dior
The last bit of tenderness Xia Yan could leave for the other person was—
Kill people and kill your heart.
"Praying? Who would a pure wicked person like you pray to before you die? Let me guess..."
Xia Yan showed a thinking expression.
Then, as if he had just thought of something, a wicked smile spread across his face.
"Could it be your father... I remember his name is... Dalio Brando, right?"
"You bastard!!!"
Upon hearing his father's name, Dio's eyes widened in fury.
It wasn't because he respected his father.
On the contrary, he despised his biological father from the bottom of his heart, believing him to be a scumbag!
"Oh, getting impatient?"
Seeing Dior's expression, Xia Yan's smile became even more wicked.
"Speaking of which, I should thank you."
"For it is your life, Dio Brando's life, that will carry me to heaven!"
Upon hearing this, Dior completely lost his temper.
"Natsuhiko Tojo!!!"
He angrily roared out Xia Yan's full name.
But at this moment, Dio was just a candle flickering in the wind, having not only lost his Stand, but also only his head remaining.
The only resistance he could mount was—
"...The final...the piercing emptiness was terrifying!"
The liquid in his eyes gathered and shot towards Xia Yan's direction like a high-pressure water gun.
However, Xia Yan easily dodged this tactic by turning his head to the side.
"You clearly consider Ripple to be outdated, but in the end, all you can do is use that same old, outdated technique, Sky Rift Eye!"
"Although I want to kill you with my own hands, you who tried to ruin my happiness, but..."
"Indeed, the final blow should have been delivered by Joestar himself to end his destiny!"
Just like passing a ball, Xia Yan lightly tapped his toe, kicking Dio's head towards the direction where Joseph and Jotaro were.
"Eurah—" x2
Two fists, shimmering like the sun, struck Dio's head simultaneously.
Feeling a burning sensation like lava.
Although his eyes were blinded by the shock of using the Void Rift Eye, Dio seemed to see a dazzling sun.
And in that dazzling light, a robust, blue-haired youth walked towards him.
"Is that you, JOJO...?"
Dust drifts in the wind.
At 5:20 PM, "The World" Dio Brando—
death.
……
"Is this the end...?"
As he watched the last trace of Dio disappear from the world, Jotaro couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, a feeling as if the shackles that had been weighing him down had been removed.
"Ah, it's all over..."
"I can feel that Dio's presence has disappeared, that sense of destiny that has haunted him since birth!"
Joseph, unusually serious, spoke without joking.
"I feel so great, like putting on new underwear on New Year's morning!"
"Grandma Alina, I gave that Dio guy a good beating for you..."
He looked up at the stars in the sky, took a deep breath, and seemed to see his grandmother Alina, who had already ascended to heaven.
Of course, it's also possible that they saw Katz.
Xia Yan walked over and patted the grandfather and grandson on the shoulder. The family looked at each other without saying a word, but the atmosphere was unusually peaceful.
But this peaceful atmosphere was quickly shattered.
Polnareff walked towards Xia Yan and the others, holding a diary in his hand.
"Hey! Mr. Joestar, Mr. Natsuhiko, JOJO, Iggy found a diary, it looks like it belongs to Dio!"
"Huh? Dio actually keeps a diary?"
"Let me see... um... how to get to heaven?"
Upon hearing Polnareff's words, Joseph curiously took the diary and began to read it.
Jotaro, also somewhat curious, went over to investigate.
"It records Dior's envisioned method for 'going to heaven,' which seems quite different from yours?"
"However, the process seems to be similar... both have six necessary conditions."
Joseph handed the diary to Xia Yan.
Xia Yan took the diary from Joseph and burned it to ashes without even looking at it.
Since I already knew the conditions for the other party to go to heaven, I naturally didn't need to read it again through this diary.
and……
"What kind of class does Dior belong to? Does he even deserve to go to the same paradise as me?"
As he spoke, Xia Yan stomped on the ashes on the ground.
Father Pucci, right?
You dare to be Dior's close friend?
I'll find you in a while and scatter your ashes!
The Stardust Crusade completed its campaign in thirty-one days.
