Chapter 204. The Invincible [Cream]
---
Is it possible that Avdol isn't actually dead?
This thought wasn't just a jealous rea from Sora toucci, leading him to make such a decration out of impulse. Nor was it merely to fort himself by saying so.
It was after carefully analyzing the plot of "Stardust Crusaders".
Especially after the OP (opening preview) of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" tinuously presenting the story of "JoJo's" as a sort of Easter egg in a factual manner.
Sora was naturally filled with doubt regarding Avdol's death, which seemed to go against the way it was hinted in the OP.
Moreover, as for the Stand ability of [Cream]...
Hasn't Vanil Ice already expi clearly?
It's like a bck hole, a dark spatial tunnel leading to a pce eveand user himself doesn't know.
Acc to the logic that when a Stand user dies, their Stand usually disappears and its abilities fade...
Simir to [Osiris] and [Atum], even though they have the ability to extract people's souls, ohe Stand user is defeated, the extracted souls return to their inal bodies.
So perhaps, after defeating Vanil Ice...
Would Avdol, who was swallowed by [Cream], return to the real world?
As for his lost hands, there's o worry too much.
The SPW Foundation, which has absorbed a lot of German teology, is unmatched in the world!
Even Stroheim, who was blown to bits by a bomb, was fully revived through robotic modification.
Two lost arms? That's nothing. Just make some meical arms like Joseph did—no problem at all!
So when Sora sent out this specution...
It immediately caught the attention of tless people on the once-pessimisti, and many agreed, adding their owo the new post.
In no time, the once mournful atmosphere turned into a lively discussion, with boundless creativity on dispy.
After all, pared tedy...
edy is always more beloved.
And most importantly, as the first member of the "Stardust Crusaders" crew to "fake die" and e back, fans had high hopes for Avdol's sed "fake death" aurn!
Thus, the remaining question became...
—"How we defeat [Cream]?"
As soon as this post with that title ublished...
There was no need for any further prompting.
Those who wao know the answer or write it themselves automatically pihe post to the top of the forum, alongside Sora's previous post titled "Is it possible?"
It became one of the most popur topi 2CH.
But...
…
"I 't think of a way to defeat [Cream]!" Sora and Shiro g each other, then colpsed into each other's arms in frustration.
"If Avdol hadn't been swallowed, there'd still be hope for victory."
"If you keep using [Magi's Red]'s fire ability, there's still a slim ce that Vanil Ice, who's in the same dark tunnel, might get burned by the fmes that are sucked in."
"If Vanil Ice hadn't turned into a vampire, [Magi's Red] could burn up the oxygen, produg a rge amount of carbon dioxide, f him to flee."
"But..."
Now that Avdol had bee the first victim swallowed by [Cream], all of that had bee impossible.
It was even worse than that.
Because [Silver Chariot] is a purely physical attack Stand with no special abilities.
Its main attack method is stabbing with the rapier in its hand.
But [Cream] is immuo physical damage.
And although [The Fool] manipute elements like [Magi's Red], the destructive power of sand is far inferior to that of fire.
Even if the attaters the dark space of [Cream]...
Would it really be able to harm Vanil Ice, who's also in the dark space?
If it really could...
Wouldn't Avdol, who was pletely swallowed, have fought baside the dark space?
The more Sora thought about it...
The more he realized how terrifying and invincible spatial abilities like this were, even if they were just simple dev abilities.
He grew more and more despairing over the current situation.
Could Polnareff and the others really defeat this Stand user?
Of course, it's not like Vanil Id [Cream] don't have any weaknesses.
"Ripple energy and sunlight, which vampires fear, should still be lethal to Vanil Ice."
"And his loyalty to DIO, just like N'Doul's willio die for him, is another potential weakness."
Sora slowly said, "As long as they probe a bit more into the limits of the [Cream] Stand, it shouldn't be too hard to defeat him."
Yes, despite the invincible nature of [Cream]'s ability...
To Sora, there's no such thing as an invincible Stand, only an invincible [ ]!
If Polnareff's pce were switched with Sora and Shiro...
Sora would fidently clear the entire Dio's Castle without a scratch.
After all, no matter if it's a Stand user full of resolve or ohout any resolve, their weaknesses are too obvious in front of Sora, the psychological master.
Stand users without resolve would colpse at the slightest setback.
And to deal with Stand users full of resolve?
Just look at the vilins' strategies.
Whether it was [Lovers] threatening Jotaro with Joseph's life, or [Osiris] and [Atum] using others' souls to gamble and py games to activate their Stand abilities...
They all showed that even the most resolute Stand users have plenty of weaknesses.
But whether Polnareff and the others figure this out...
And use N'Doul's line "Even vilins need a savior," along with DIO's vampire identity, to deduce Vanil Ice's weaknesses...
Sora had little fiden that.
"We only hope that the OP of "Stardust Crusaders" is truly spoiling the ending..."
At least then, Polnareff would still have a ce of victory.
Though even Sora didn't know what that hope of victory was...
