Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

In addition to Petsha, who has a stand-in peregrine falcon, she has kept at least three birds in total.

If I were to snatch Petsha away from Dio, wouldn't that be considered a form of NTR?

Betrayed by his own pet and watchdog bird, Dio's expression must be quite amusing.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan's lips curled up slightly.

……

Petsha, who was initially lost in the fog and flying around aimlessly, suddenly looked up and found herself inside the ancient castle that she was guarding.

Not far away, his master, Lord Dio, was waving at him, signaling him to come over.

Although she didn't understand what was going on, Petsha still obediently flew over and stood on 'Lord Dio's' outstretched arm.

Then a soft voice came to my ear.

It seems like they said something like 'the soul leaves the body' or something like that.

The next second, Petsha felt her mind go blank, all thoughts and sense of responsibility vanished, leaving her feeling incredibly happy and joyful.

The surrounding scenery changed again, and the Dio before them transformed into a different person.

But for some reason, Petsha couldn't muster the slightest will to resist; a voice in her mind was telling her to listen to this stranger completely.

"Is this... okay...?"

Xia Yan simply tapped Petsha's head with his stand-in and then whispered something.

The next second, this seemingly fierce peregrine falcon became as if possessed, behaving more obediently than a pet dog that had been trained for ten years.

Kakyoin's face showed an expression of disbelief.

"Could it be that something can confuse the Stand abilities of animals?" Avdol asked with a look of surprise.

“I guess so,” Xia Yan nodded. “However, this ability is time-limited, and using it on the same target multiple times will cause it to develop resistance, so it can’t be considered completely tamed.”

"We can proceed with a professional taming plan after we defeat Dio."

As he spoke, Xia Yan took off the helmet with a heart drawn on it from Petsha's head and tossed it aside. He also threw away the scarf, a satisfied expression on his face.

Now I'm someone who owns a bird too.

After resolving Petsha's problem, the three reunited with Joseph and the others.

At 3:30 p.m., bathed in the glow of the setting sun, the group reappeared at the entrance of the Hanging Demon Mansion.

Looking at the ancient yet magnificent four-story building before them, Xia Yan and the others couldn't help but feel a little wistful.

creak-

A sickening sound rang out, and the mansion's gate slowly opened. An ominous mist drifted out from the dark building, like a tomb sealed for many years, filled with the scent of death.

Just looking at it gives you a chilling feeling and makes your scalp tingle.

"This is……"

Joseph looked surprised as he saw the door open as if extending an invitation to everyone.

"What's going on with this mansion?! It's like Dior is extending an invitation to us!"

"Now that they've extended an invitation to us, we can't back down! We must make them suffer a crushing defeat..."

"—Yeah, right!"

"—You think I'd say that?! Idiot!"

"Knowing there's a trap inside, who would be foolish enough to step in?"

"Xia Yan, Avdol! Don't be shy! Just set the whole castle on fire!"

Upon hearing Joseph's decision, Xia Yan and Avdol exchanged a glance and both showed expressions of satisfaction.

Previously, due to various reasons, although both of them had the ability to control fire, they had never had a chance to use it. Now, however, they can burn down an entire building at will.

This feeling is like a primary school student who needs to go to the toilet halfway through class, but is told by the teacher that he is not allowed. After holding it in for a long time, he rushes to the toilet as soon as get out of class ends and releases it all in one go. It's so refreshing!

Little Darby, who had just arrived at the porch and was about to go out to greet Xia Yan and the others, was stunned as he watched the flames rushing towards him.

At 3:30 PM, "Atum God" Terrence T. Darby—

Death divination.

Chapter 115 This is my escape route!

"Damn it! That damned old bastard Joseph!!"

Feeling the rapidly rising temperature around him, and looking out the window at the sun that had not yet completely set, Dio felt as if he had returned to that night a hundred years ago.

That same mansion, the Joestar family's heirloom, was also engulfed in flames.

And that blue-haired youth with a gentlemanly spirit, whose youth was intertwined with his own!

"JOJO! Why do you always stop me?!"

Thinking of this, the blond vampire let out another angry roar of resentment.

"The fire that year didn't take my life, and I won't perish in flames now!!"

"—Smash, Valudo!!!"

In that instant, time stood still.

Everything around us lost its original color.

"One second passed."

"Hmph, how naive! Did you think I couldn't leave this house just because there's sunshine outside!?"

Once again, entering a completely still world that only he could access, Dio felt a sense of comfort and ease emanating from within.

This allowed him to quickly regain his composure.

Her lips, painted with green lipstick, curled slightly upwards, revealing a disdainful smile.

"Perhaps a hundred years ago I would have been helpless in this situation, but now that I have a Stand, I am invincible!"

While speaking, "World," like a diver, was doing demolition work.

In a few swift movements, the floor beneath Dio's feet was shattered. After repeating this three times, it took Dio only one second to complete the task of quickly descending the stairs.

"Two seconds passed."

"Excellent tactics, Joseph Joestar!"

"The traps I set in this mansion are like finishing your homework on the last day before school starts, only to find that the teacher has announced that they won't check it anymore—all of it has been for nothing!"

"You're completely different from your grandfather Jonathan; you understand how to use your intelligence in battle far better than him. If JoJo's personality had been like yours back then, I might have lost to him!"

"But Dior is no longer the same person he once was! Although your strategy has taken me by surprise, I have a way to counter it!"

"Let me show you the power of the 'world'!"

The next second, "the world" seemed to transform into a pile driver, relentlessly hammering and digging into the ground, creating a half-meter-deep pit in just one second.

"Three seconds have passed!"

"You didn't expect this, did you, Joseph Joestar? This is my escape route!"

"With the power and speed of the 'World,' and the ability to stop time, as long as I keep pausing time, I can dig a tunnel to the outside world before the flames touch my beautiful body!"

"One second countdown!"

Your entire plan is a complete disaster!!!

"Mu Da Mu Da Mu Da! Mu Da!!"

……

While Dior, transformed into a gold miner, was constantly pausing time to dig tunnels...

Outside the castle, Jotaro seemed to sense something and frowned slightly.

"What's wrong, Jotaro?"

As the father, Xia Yan noticed Jotaro's unusual behavior immediately and asked him with some concern.

But then, as if he had thought of something, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Dio just stopped time?"

Upon hearing Xia Yan's words, everyone looked at Jotaro with some nervousness.

Xia Yan had already told everyone about the secret of Dior's "world" before he arrived in Egypt.

It possesses power and speed sufficient to rival "Star Platinum" for a short period of time, and despite being a close-range power type, it boasts a range of up to ten meters, as well as the crucial ability to stop time.

This is why, even though they knew Xia Yan could master eleven Stand abilities, they weren't curious as to why he always left one slot empty.

It's clearly meant to be reserved for the "world".

When they first learned that Dio could stop time, everyone, including Jotaro, was shocked.

After learning that Jotaro's "Star Platinum" and "The World" are the same type of Stand, but are still growing and cannot stop time for the time being, he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just in case, the current tactic of setting the house on fire during the day has been devised.

They wanted to see if they could eliminate Dior without a direct confrontation.

This is why Joseph so decisively issued the order to set the fire, because it was part of a pre-arranged plan.

"Yes, Dior paused time more than once just now."

Jotaro nodded silently.

"Perhaps it was because it was happening too frequently that I noticed something was wrong and entered that frozen time."

"I did a quick test, and the maximum amount of time I could move during the time Dior paused was about two seconds."

"Although it's strange to say two seconds in the time it's stopped, the activity time is about two seconds in total. As for how long it can stop, I didn't test it to prevent Dior from noticing anything unusual, but it should be more than three seconds."

Hearing that Jotaro had successfully entered the world of time stop, Natsuhiko also felt a sense of relief.

He wasn't worried that Jotaro wouldn't be able to awaken the ability to stop time.

Unlike learning or plundering, "Star Platinum" is a Stand of the same type as "The World".
