"Then," he maintained his arms-crossed posture, Storm raised another index finger, "the next second, no, without needing any time, the Molten Demon and Ice Bird will cease to breathe."

"What?!"

The Molten Demon became motionless, exploding into fragments of light.

"Ah!" The duelist knelt painfully on the ground, his entire body stinging as if shattered.

On his left arm, the dueling disk, a groove symbolizing the soul power, sharply decreased to one-fifth of its full value.

"Bang!" A cloud of smoke exploded; the Ice Bird was unharmed.

"Didn't see that coming, did you? I had the Ice Bird use a substitute!" the trainer proudly said, completely disregarding the duelist's pain.

Children don't care about their teammates; they only care about their own triumph.

Whoosh! The Witch shot out the Demon-breaking Arrow.

The sumo wrestler lifted a 10-ton bus, spun in place to gather speed, and then, like the former Soviet's Shedykh setting a world record in hammer throw, hurled the bus away.

The Samurai unsheathed his sword and slashed, the Sword Qi cleaving through the air, causing the atmosphere along its path to shatter like crystal.

The Monk chanted scriptures, the Onmyoji threw out talismans, and the soldiers opened fire...

All the attacks targeted Storm, who had just finished using Time Stop!

"Ice Bird, let's go too," unbelievably, in this critical moment, the trainer's voice could still be heard, "Absolute Zero!"

The Ice Bird pulled back, wings spreading, as chilling winds and ice frost blew towards Storm.

"Bring it on!"

However, surrounded by a barrage of attacks, Storm became even more arrogant.

He took a long, thin breath, and then—

"Ora ora ora ora!"

"Ora ora ora ora!"

"Ora ora ora ora!"

"Ora ora ora ora!"

....

All efforts, everyone's attacks, were blown apart by the substitute's fists.

The Demon-breaking Arrow shattered;

The 10-ton bus that was thrown like a hammer, turned into a tin can;

The Sword Qi was smashed;

Bullets were punched into iron discs one by one, then reflected back with greater speed, countless soldiers were killed by their own bullets;

Absolute Zero's chill was blown back, causing harm to the Ice Bird itself.

Storm stood in the center of the crossroad, left hand on his hip, in an odd and twisted pose.

The golden Ripple power, like a silent claim of invincibility, burned calmly.

"He's too strong," cold sweat ran down the sumo wrestler's forehead, "even without using Time Stop, his strength is invincible!"

"Do not falter! The author of 'Jojo' was just having pork chop rice at the police station and told the contact person that though the substitute might be invincible, the substitute user isn't!"

"Moreover, in 'Jojo,' invincible characters are always defeated, like a gun in a detective novel that is bound to fire at some point!"

"Defeat me?" Storm scoffed, "Come and try."

"Snap!" Clear, the sound of hands clapping.

"Water Escape - Big Burst Water Wave!"

A circle of turquoise light, from nothing to something, from small to large, enveloped the entire Shibuya crossroad.

The circle was filled with water!

A massive water sphere spread across the Shibuya streets, trapping Storm right in the center!

"You brat!" the two hands-clapping Ninja roared at the trainer.

"Understood!" the trainer flipped his hat brim forward and wore it backward, "Ice Bird, keep using the Ice Frost Beam!"

The Ice Bird raised its neck, emitting a brilliant white light.

The water sphere rapidly froze.

Storm finally changed his expression. Only he and Kujo Jotaro could see the substitute swinging its fists, trying to punch a vacuum zone within the ice sphere!

But then...

The Onmyoji pressed his left hand against his right hand, releasing endless talismans.

The Monk's lips moved quickly, a series of visible golden scriptures came with the talismans.

The Witch spread her arms wide, wholeheartedly releasing Spiritual Energy, turning into chains.

The three simultaneously shouted, "Seal!"

Boom!

The massive ice sphere was wrapped in chains glowing with spiritual light, the chains were covered in talismans, and the talismans had golden scriptures flowing on them.

"Ha... ha..." The Onmyoji, Monk, and Witch lay exhausted, supported by their teammates.

They had used all their "Ability"!

"Now," the elderly Witch barely stood up, supported by a young Witch, wiping the sweat from her forehead, "even if he stops time, he won't be able to get out."

"You damned fellow!" Kujo Jotaro pointed at the iron ball and cursed as if she had sealed the Storm herself, "Just like Captain America was frozen in the North Sea for 70 years, stay in there forever!"

◇

In front of a convenience store at Dogenzaka Nichome, inside a sedan.

"Is it over?" Li Qianxia asked, startled.

"It's just beginning." Turquoise Pool said, "Our task is to bring back the mysterious artifact from the Storm—"

After a slight pause, the Turquoise Pool doll glanced around the intersection and continued, "—now, it's about taking the iron ball back in front of more and more Japanese players."

"That's easy!"

Turquoise Pool opened her eyes, looked at Li Qianxia, and slowly smiled: "It seems your brother has abilities like Teleportation."

"No, no, don't talk nonsense, Sister Yao."

"Ever since they suddenly went from the cinema directly to Tokyo Tower, I started to suspect." Turquoise Pool crossed her arms, pondering.

Li Qianxia remembered, that information was indeed shared by her own self.

"...Sister Yao, can you pretend you don't know? Otherwise, I'm definitely going to be scolded by Qing Lan."

"Your brother doesn't scold you, but she scolds you?"

"Yeah! She's practically the Empress who dictates behind the curtains, controlling the court; it's totally excessive!"

"Okay, I won't tell them; this will be our little secret."

"Thank you, Sister Yao~! I'll treat you to hot pot when we get back."

"We'll talk about what happens when we get back later. Notify your brother; we need to wrap this up quickly. If we wait any longer, more players will show up."

"Okay!" Li Qianxia took out her phone.

Turquoise Pool closed her eyes again, feeling even more confident about her collaboration with Li Changzhou.

If possible, she would like him to stay by her side forever.

◇

Near Shibuya Scramble Crossing, in the sky of Shibuya.

"It seems like it's over." Li Changzhou looked down at the street.

Bang!

No sooner had he spoken than he heard a loud noise.

A large bulge was made in the Sealing Ball.

This strike felt like it hit everyone's hearts, amid the fluttering white snowflakes, no one made a sound, even the ambulance lights that had just arrived were silently rotating.

Everyone anxiously watched the iron ball, as if awaiting the outcome of an uncertain surgery.

"Don't worry," the Samurai said, "the 'jojo' author who just got released from the police station and then recaptured, said that the last hit was probably using Time Stop, then releasing a punch within two seconds in an instant, that's why it had such strong force. If even this can't break the seal, he definitely can't come out!"

The players breathed a sigh of relief.

"Just in case, any player with a Sealing Skill should immediately apply a seal!" a commanding character ordered.

The iron ball would swell every fifteen seconds, and the ability of Time Stop, being so powerful, only needed a cooldown of 15 seconds!

But after a while, the iron ball went quiet.

Perhaps there was no oxygen inside, and Storm suffocated; perhaps Storm was pretending to suffocate, waiting for a chance; but most likely, Storm's "Ability" had been exhausted.

Reality, after all, is not a comic; everything depends on "Ability."

"It looks like it's really over." Li Qianxia doll said.

"Just as the report from my subordinate said, the stand user with Time Stop will make himself fail." Turquoise Pool doll flew up to her side.

Too confident.

If it was her, she would choose to leave the scene at the first Time Stop.

With the ability to Time Stop, why not do something beneficial instead of standing in the middle of a major road, leisurely demonstrating your ability in the center of a group of players.

It's like setting a Guinness record for breaking the most tempered glass sheets, and out of all countries, choosing the tempered glass made in China.

You embarrass yourself, who else will, if not you die who will?

Turquoise Pool's thoughts departed from the Storm and she asked Li Qianxia: "What about your brother?"

"My brother... he..."

The piercing Wind Sound howled, a slight air burst.

The young Witch supporting the old Witch, lifted her head;

The Samurai discussing which Izakaya to drink at with the Sumo Wrestler, both turned around;

The young Monks surrounding the abbot, with hands pressed together, their expressions solemn;

The Ice Bird screeched, snow started falling again, and the Trainer looked over.

Bang!

A figure descended from the sky, the air waves blew around his feet, and everyone felt a chill.

The person stood straight, wearing a trench coat, donning a mysterious fox mask.

"Who?!"

"Master."
