Kira Yoshikage did not drive towards Kameyu Department Store; his destination was a large shopping mall parking lot in Morioh's central business district. He had no intention of going to work today.
It was 10:30 AM. The crowd was gradually increasing but had not yet reached its peak.
He parked his car in a spot with an open view, close to the exit. On the passenger seat, a photo of Kira Yoshihiro was taken out by him.
"Father," Kira Yoshikage's tone was eerily calm, "Witness this. This will be the finale for the identity of 'Kira Yoshikage,' and the prologue to my new 'peaceful' life."
"This will be my last dance with this identity and name!"
Kira Yoshihiro's expression was also very serious. He nodded heavily, knowing that his son was about to find a scapegoat. If this succeeded, the danger would be temporarily averted.
To be honest, he wished his son would just run away from this Town; that would completely eliminate the danger. Unfortunately, his son was clearly unwilling.
He looked out the window, his gaze fixed on the dozen or so scattered cars in the parking lot, the people coming and going from the shopping mall, and the structural support points of the large glass curtain wall on one side of the shopping mall. A slight smile played on his lips.
"A few days ago, the police actually used the excuse of a new plague outbreak to strengthen martial law, completely cutting off all traffic in and out of the Town. Now, most people in the Town who want to buy supplies will come here."
"This gives me an even better opportunity. This truly is a perfect stage."
Killer Queen stood silently outside the car, unseen by anyone. Its right hand lifted slightly, then slammed down, directly tearing up a large section of the concrete ground.
"First Bomb: Chain Reaction."
There was no sound, no flash of fire. That large section of concrete ground, along with soil and rocks, was directly transformed into a bomb. Outside, the crowd watched in shock as the ground suddenly flew up, revealing surprised expressions. They began to pull out various recording devices to capture this supernatural scene.
Killer Queen immediately unleashed a barrage of attacks, instantly throwing up that large section of concrete and smashing it into a pile of fragments, directly raining down on the crowd and vehicles.
Many people stared in stunned shock at the rocks flying towards them, not even screaming. Only a few quick-witted ones, realizing something was wrong, turned and ran.
A terrifying scene instantly unfolded!
In the parking lot, under the invisible explosions of the falling rock and concrete fragments, seven or eight cars were instantly shattered as if engulfed by a bomb's shockwave.
Metal twisted and tore; glass turned to dust!
Several passersby near the vehicles didn't even have time to scream before they were swallowed and dismembered by these bizarre explosions!
Almost at the same time!
Violent screams erupted from the crowd. This was an indiscriminate slaughter. People were indiscriminately bombed just for passing by. Killer Queen's power was fully unleashed in an instant.
Boom—!!!
And the huge glass curtain wall of the shopping mall let out a series of ear-splitting cracks. The load-bearing structure was precisely destroyed, and the entire curtain wall collapsed like a crystal mountain.
It poured down on the crowd below! Screams and cries were instantly drowned out by the enormous sound of shattering!
Chaos! Panic! A hellish scene instantly descended!
Kira Yoshikage sat in his car, watching everything with indifference, as if enjoying a play. He pulled out a can of beer and started drinking.
The wails of death and the pervasive fear made the power of Bites the Dust Rhapsody within him stir with excitement, like a hungry beast.
He shook his head, looking at the fleeing crowd, "No choice, this is the explanation I must give to the government..."
To be honest, Kira Yoshikage merely lacked morals; he wasn't someone who enjoyed massacres. He wasn't that depraved. He was doing this because it was necessary for him to change his identity.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to solidify the notion that Kira Yoshikage was a crazy bomber and serial killer. Only then, after changing his face, could he make Kosaku Kawajiri bear the blame for him.
But just as he turned his car to escape, an unexpected figure appeared behind his car.
"Jotaro?!"
After turning his car around, he looked in shock at the grim-faced man in white clothes and a white hat before him.
Jotaro was furious now. His face was almost distorted. He had just watched the crowd suffer terrifying explosions, being randomly smashed and blown apart by glass.
But he couldn't stop it, because no matter how strong Star Platinum was, it was an individual power. If a huge fragment fell, he could directly clear it away.
But with fragments everywhere and explosions all around, he couldn't stop them. So he came to find the culprit.
"I knew it. You recognize me. You're that bomber, that serial killer Stand User hidden in this Town!"
Jotaro's words were filled with boundless anger. Coming here to find someone today was indeed the right choice. He absolutely couldn't let this guy get away.
But looking at Jotaro's enraged expression, his hat almost flying off in anger, Kira Yoshikage merely smiled slightly.
He casually pushed open the car door and got out, meeting Jotaro's gaze fearlessly, even stroking his golden hair.
"I never thought I'd run into you here, Jotaro. I thought you'd be looking for a few more weeks."
As he walked, he kept muttering, "What, have you partnered with the police? Did you find me through the information from those people who monitor me all day?"
But Jotaro clearly didn't want to waste words with him. Star Platinum instantly appeared, "Ora!"
That powerful, superhuman little giant directly punched Kira Yoshikage's head. But Kira Yoshikage merely smiled slightly, because Killer Queen had already appeared behind him.
The original Killer Queen only had a speed of B, known as the most filial A-speed son. In close combat, any A-speed Stand could beat him.
But now, everything was different. Killer Queen fearlessly met Star Platinum's punch head-on. Its seemingly proportionate, even somewhat slender, muscles erupted with terrifying power.
Without surprise, Killer Queen was directly sent flying by a punch, and Kira Yoshikage, along with it, was thrown backward, hitting the wall behind him.
He almost collapsed to the ground.
The hand that clashed with Star Platinum was even fractured, beginning to seep blood.
In this clash, Killer Queen's strength and speed were both far inferior to its opponent's.
Jotaro was stunned, completely unprepared for the battle to be so easy. "This kind of power, where does he get his confidence from?"
But despite Kira Yoshikage's face being covered in blood, and his head being cut open, the smile on his face didn't diminish at all. Instead, he smiled even more excitedly, even more maniacally.
"Hahaha, as expected, it's still quite a bit weaker than this top-tier A-speed and A-power. But my speed and power have already reached A, and they should be quite good even within A-rank."
Listening to the other party's maniacal laughter, Jotaro frowned again. 'Indeed, this is a madman, just as I thought, a complete psychopath.'
Jotaro decided not to listen to the other party's crazy talk anymore. He walked directly forward with Star Platinum, ready to finish him off completely, leaving just enough life to bring him back for trial.
At the same time, Star Platinum remained vigilant, not relaxing because the other party seemed comical. Because no matter what, being able to cause such a large-scale bombing and casualty incident had already proven the other party's strength, which was definitely not weak.
It was very possible that he had some very peculiar and powerful Stand ability that he just hadn't revealed yet.
Looking at Jotaro walking towards him, Kira Yoshikage suddenly asked, "Hey, did you notice? Which hand did I use to fight you?"
Jotaro paused. "Does it matter which hand?"
"Hahaha, you fought me with my right hand!"
In his maniacal laughter, Kira Yoshikage detonated the bomb in his mind. The enhanced Killer Queen could now create bombs with its entire hand. Although the quantity was still only one, it could now be detonated in his mind after a direct punch.
In an instant, a terrifying power erupted from Star Platinum's hand. Star Platinum's hand instantly exploded.
This was the power of Killer Queen. Once the ability was activated, it was a one-hit kill. No one could resist this kind of explosion that came from within and caused infinite damage.
This was a complete mechanism kill.
"Star Platinum: The World!"
Jotaro paused time without hesitation, but what good would that do? It merely delayed the explosion.
At least in Kira Yoshikage's eyes, he had already achieved victory.
However, he did discover something interesting. He found that he himself was basically unable to move within Star Platinum's time stop, and Killer Queen couldn't either.
But he was actually able to think and maintain his vision. 'Is it because Bites the Dust has a certain time attribute? Does it have some resistance to the ability of Star Platinum: The World, which also has a time attribute?'
'It's like Father Pucci, who could also move his eyes and think during time stop. Jotaro could move during Dio's time stop. Is this a characteristic of time itself? Interesting.'
But Kira Yoshikage no longer cared, nor did he want to ponder it deeply, because soon there would be no one in this world with that ability. There was no need to think.
He just calmly watched Jotaro, wanting to see how he would solve the problem, and if he could survive.
