"Sinner, what do you want to do?!"
The brown-haired priest was stunned, his expression somewhat confused. "Although you've killed thousands, possibly even tens of thousands of people, you're now controlled by my Stand. You don't actually think you can still resist, do you?"
"It seems counseling you like this is useless. I guess it was wishful thinking to try and cleanse your sins. As expected of a demon among men, a burning stake is a more practical approach."
The brown-haired priest's expression grew colder. He was a fanatic, believing that only good people could go to Heaven, and evil people had to purge their sins and achieve complete salvation to enter Heaven.
Therefore, he awakened his current Stand, which could cleanse sins through punishment. But for this kind of unrepentant, great sinner, who had committed such monstrous crimes and whom he had never encountered before, a burning stake was quicker.
But Kira Yoshikage ignored him, speaking to himself, "Your Stand is indeed strong. Perhaps not skilled in combat, but very adept at confinement. However, your Stand seems to target sinners, so how can you assume I am guilty?"
The priest was visibly stunned, and his teammates also looked at Kira Yoshikage in shock.
"What foolishness are you spouting? Even my stroke-ridden grandmother, delirious with fever, wouldn't say something so stupid. Your brain is a paste of ice cream and soy milk!
You've killed thousands of people, and you're telling me you're not guilty?"
After recovering, the priest scoffed in anger. Then, he pulled out a mobile phone from somewhere and started playing a video.
The video showed scenes from Morioh. It was the shopping mall that Kira Yoshikage had previously bombed, where a mass funeral was being held.
Although the victims would be buried in various temples, they had all died here, so people came here to mourn them.
Hundreds, even thousands, cried and wailed there. Their family members had either been blown up or severely injured here, eventually dying in the Hospital.
Among the wailers were children who had lost their parents, elders who had lost their children, wives who had lost their husbands, and lonely men who had lost their wives and children. The video recorded it all.
There were also interviews, all describing the immense scale and widespread impact of this terrorist attack. Indeed, several victims, disfigured by the explosion and lying in the Hospital, were interviewed, making the scene too gruesome to watch.
The priest silently played the video, saying nothing more, just watching Kira Yoshikage.
Kira Yoshikage, too, watched the video with keen interest, enjoying his own work.
"Hmm, that woman's hand is quite nice, quite beautiful. Ah, no, that's not the point. I don't need these anymore, but I didn't realize I was so powerful back then, able to kill so many people at once."
Listening to him marvel at his past strength, without a hint of remorse or a trace of pity, the brown-haired priest's expression grew darker and darker, his teeth grinding audibly.
Flames seemed to ignite in his eyes. "You truly are scum, utterly heinous scum! There's an ancient saying in the East: 'Humans have four foundations; those without them are not human!' And you are clearly not human!
I'll f*cking kill you! I absolutely cannot allow scum like you to live!"
The priest let out a furious roar, and the Stand behind him materialized. The headless knight produced a sword from somewhere and directly struck at Kira Yoshikage's head.
"Oh? You say I'm guilty for killing these people? Then your American actions just now didn't spare the innocent either, killing quite a few ordinary people. Are you not also guilty?
And you serve the U.S. military, right? The U.S. military killed many people in Vietnam and Korea, even rounding up innocent civilians to kill them, taking their ears for necklaces, and using their bones for ornaments. Are they not also guilty?
You serve sinners; isn't your sin even greater? If we're talking about sin, then those high-and-mighty individuals at the top are the most evil. I'm merely obeying my biological instincts. Can you say a wolf eating a lamb is evil?"
The priest froze, not because Kira Yoshikage's words swayed him, for he thought the other person was spouting nonsense.
How could killing humans be called instinct?
If it truly was instinct, then it only meant he deserved to die even more. To be born wanting to kill others and taking that as instinct, he didn't deserve to be human. Such inherently evil genes must be eliminated.
He didn't continue to act simply because he found he couldn't command his Stand anymore. In fact, the headless knight turned around, seemingly staring at the five of them with its non-existent head.
As if pondering, the priest immediately felt a bad premonition. His Stand had its own consciousness, as extremely righteous as him, but now his Stand seemed to doubt its own righteousness.
And Kira Yoshikage was also stunned. He had only intended to engage in a war of words, to escape through other means, but now the situation seemed to have changed.
However, after a brief hesitation, the Stand still chose to affirm the priest, striking a sword towards Kira Yoshikage.
After all, no matter what, the priest and his companions were much better than this murderous demon. Kill him first, then decide whether to deal with them too.
But looking at the sword striking towards him, Kira Yoshikage revealed a smile, "Goodbye now, I'll kill all your parents and relatives, Mr. Priest."
The next moment, the longsword about to fall on Kira Yoshikage's neck was caught by a small Killer Queen. It was Bites the Dust Rhapsody.
Bites the Dust Rhapsody's eyes flashed, letting out a roar, and instantly, terrifying sound waves penetrated all obstacles, spreading outwards.
This armor could not suppress such terrifying power at all. Bites the Dust Rhapsody's priority was far higher than this armor. Under this terrifying power, the priest was instantly blasted into ashes.
The armor that had imprisoned and suppressed Kira Yoshikage also instantly shattered, indeed causing him a burst of explosive damage, but it was immediately suppressed by Bites the Dust Rhapsody with a casual gesture.
Yet, Kira Yoshikage was not satisfied with the outcome, because the other four had escaped. Of course, they couldn't withstand Bites the Dust's mechanism; nothing but Requiem could endure it.
But the problem was that the opponents ran fast!
Bites the Dust Rhapsody's sound spread instantly within a 100-meter radius, then detonated all living beings who heard the sound.
The prerequisite was within 100 meters, living beings.
And those guys were clever; they had already fled after realizing the headless knight was stunned. The door closed directly, and they disappeared to who knows where.
Clearly, he hadn't blown them up.
"I didn't expect my verbal sparring to actually backfire on my actions? Tsk, villains really do die from talking too much. Next time, I'll be quieter."
With a murmur, the world began to shift. Amidst a kaleidoscope of colors, time gradually rewound, but this time it seemed different.
Kira Yoshikage felt it; he was returning to an hour ago little by little. He now seemed able to return not just to an hour ago, but to 10 seconds ago, a minute ago, 30 minutes ago, or an hour ago—these four time points.
Bites the Dust Rhapsody had evolved.
"This is good. I can check what that man's ability is. If it's suitable, I'll consume him. Diavolo is a bit hard to find right now."
With a smile, as if the gears of time were reversed, time was adjusted to 10 seconds ago.
