631 DIO Descends
631
Seeing his arms bleeding and the appearance of dIo's substitute world, Zhang Xiao had not fully understood the cause of this incident, but he knew that he was in great trouble.
"The problem with the arm is obvious. The injured position is the same as that of Platinum Star. It is obviously based on the damage mapping of the stand-in. It seems that Nightmare becomes Platinum Star not only gains the ability to stop when the Platinum Star, but also inherits the defect of Platinum Star's close-range power-type stand-in."
This guess is 90% sure, and the remaining 10% is what the world or dIo did to him while attacking Platinum Star - and without him knowing it.
This possibility cannot be said to be non-existent, but it is really not high, and there is an easy way to test Zhang Xiao’s guess.
"Although Nightmare has changed several times and I am not sure about the longest range, at least in the real battle just now, Nightmare can leave me by five meters, and this must not be the limit distance. I remember the range of Platinum Star is...two meters!"
With a thought, Zhang Xiao drove the Platinum Star forward, but sure enough, after the Platinum Star moved to a distance of two meters, Zhang Xiao felt unable to do so, as if the Platinum Star would disappear one step further.
In fact, that doesn't disappear, but after the range is out, the substitute will automatically return to the substitute messenger.
Zhang Xiao immediately realized that the Platinum Star turned into by Nightmare is indeed no different from the real Platinum Star, whether it is abilities, attributes, or even weaknesses.
"However, the problem now is not that Platinum Star is too similar to the real one, and even becomes the original one, but... what's going on with the dIo in front of you?"
Zhang Xiao had a bold guess in his heart. If his nightmare could completely turn into a platinum star, then why can't the dIo in front of him become a real dIo?
"Although it's incredible, it's really a great possibility, otherwise it would be difficult to explain what happened just now."
Although the subconscious world is full of fantasy and all incredible or even abnormal things will arise, the subconscious world actually has its own rules and principles.
That is cognition. Once cognition is cognition, then cognition will be solidified into rules.
It sounds full of idealism, but this is the subconscious rule, and it can even be said to be the only rule.
The ability of Nightmare actually comes from the subconscious rules, but Nightmare can use these rules more easily. The reason why Nightmare becomes Platinum Star is the same as it is because Zhang Xiao has a very comprehensive understanding of Platinum Star, and his weaknesses are replicated.
In other words, if Zhang Xiao himself did not know the weakness of Platinum Star, then Platinum Star in the subconscious world would not have weaknesses.
"But then again, the reason why Platinum Star became the same as it really is because it comes from my cognition, but this subconscious dream belongs to Selma, so does this subconscious dream belong to Selma... or me?"
Logically speaking, if something appears in a dream that the dreamer himself should not know, then the dream will be invaded, which also means that the dream will be shared.
This is completely different from the nightmare invasion dream. The nightmare invasion is infiltrating. As long as there is no big noise, the dreamer himself cannot detect the existence of the nightmare.
But with the emergence of Platinum Star, Zhang Xiao's cognition began to affect Selma's subconscious dream, and the invasion of nightmare changed, from infiltration to embedded, and one person's dream became two people's dream.
Zhang Xiao understood a little.
“…Is it because my cognition has changed dIo.”
If you think about it carefully, it should be when he saw dIo in the Selma dream.
That was the first time he saw dIo in this dream, and it was also the first time he compared the dIo in front of him with what he knew.
If the nightmare has not changed into a platinum star and has not turned a dream of one person into a dream of two people, such cognitive comparison will not have any impact, let alone any bad changes.
But unfortunately, everything was already born at that time, and Zhang Xiao was still not familiar with his substitute and his abilities.
"As the embedded invasion of the nightmare changed the composition of the Selma subconscious dream, this dream has changed from a pure Selma subconscious dream to a two-person dream connecting my mental power. So when my cognition of dIo and Selma cognition conflict, dIo began to change."
dIo may not necessarily become exactly the same as Zhang Xiao knows, because the most basic structure here comes from Selma after all, but who made Zhang Xiao closer to the dream dIo at that time? This is like IFI. It is not that far has no effect, but it is definitely faster.
Zhang Xiao's influence was too close to dIo at that time. His understanding of dIo almost covered Selma's understanding of dIo, so the dream dIo has a substitute and even gained the ability to stop in time.
"This is really..."
Zhang Xiao also had a speechless expression on his face, who had figured it out.
This kind of thing was not really born, it was really unexpected, but if Zhang Xiao really gave birth to it, he knew that the situation in front of him was inevitable.
"It really seems that you don't have to defeat this dream dIo. Just stay away from him and weaken my influence on him. Selma's understanding of dIo can be re-covered."
The dIo in front of you is the dIo in Zhang Xiao’s perception, which means that even if this dIo is not the dIo outside that spans the world and lives and death, it is also very difficult to underestimate.
After all, according to Zhang Xiao's perception, if it weren't for the plot killing, Kotojo Jotaro would not have beaten dIo, let alone kill him.
However, just when Zhang Xiao wanted to retreat and leave the stairs, he suddenly felt something strange.
Zhang Xiao could feel his consciousness, but he could hardly control his body. It was not that he could not feel his body, but that he could not move smoothly like a rusty machine.
"This is...stop time?!"
Zhang Xiao turned his eyes with force and looked up at the stairs. Sure enough, he saw dIo standing there, and the golden world floated behind him.
"Damn it, how could he act on his own?"
When Zhang Xiao was thinking in front of the stairs, it was not because this was the place where he fell, but because when he couldn't get up the stairs several times, he had already tried to find out that the dIo on the stairs would not be motivated for no reason, but would be motivated only when the intruder walked up the 14th stage of the stairs.
"Wait...is it because dIo is covered by my cognition?"
This is not impossible. Now dIo is not the dIo in Selma's cognition, but the one in Zhang Xiao's cognition still follows the guard responsibilities assigned by Selma's subconscious mind.
So after seeing Zhang Xiao, he took the initiative to attack Zhang Xiao, and after hitting Zhang Xiao, he did not stop.
In this case, Zhang Xiao’s plan to stay away from dIo and thus restore dIo to "normal" has already failed.
Of course, what is more important now is that the dIo in front of you has paused time!
