Father Pucci was favored by fate.
So, he was able to make it here all the way until now.
So, he was able to kill all the fools who stood in the way ahead.
So, he would eventually step into Heaven.
But…
Father Pucci absolutely did not want to enter Heaven by being beaten to death.
Compared to the near-at-hand Anasui, the tiny, spinning steel ball in Ryosuke's hand gave Father Pucci an indescribable sense of threat.
"C-Moon!!!"
Father Pucci shouted in terror.
Ryosuke stepped on C-Moon's face and leaped into the air, breaking free from the range of C-Moon's two fists.
But not only did C-Moon not chase after him, instead, using the force of Ryosuke stepping on its body, it landed back on the ground at an even faster speed.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
C-Moon's fists beat the ground tiles in a rapid series of punches.
Gravity reversal.
The tiles deformed and twisted.
With dense cracking sounds, dozens of tiles bounced up from the ground, like machine gun bullets, shooting swiftly toward Ryosuke midair.
C-Moon's response was too fast. Ryosuke in the air was still accelerating the steel ball's spin in his palm. With his means, he had no way to deal with the fast-flying tiles. With continuous bang bang bang sounds, Ryosuke was blasted by the tiles and sent flying tens of meters away.
"Brother Ryosuke!"
Emporio cried out in horror.
Father Pucci's gravity-shift domain covered a full three kilometers. Once Ryosuke fell off from here, he would definitely fall to his death, there was no second possibility.
'We won!'
Father Pucci rejoiced inwardly.
Seeing this scene, Anasui didn't dare delay. Controlling Diver Down, he raised his fist and rushed toward Father Pucci.
Although Anasui couldn't be called very smart, and was even a bit stupid with love on the brain, he did have some quick wits in battle.
Since the gravity reversal domain existed because of Pucci, as long as Pucci was killed, the gravity reversal would disappear, and Jolyne would not fall to her death.
"Insignificant nobody!"
Father Pucci lightly leapt, and gravity shifted with him as the center. He retreated backward, his peripheral vision glancing toward Ryosuke.
Time seemed to stretch at this critical moment, and Father Pucci saw, Ryosuke reached his hand into his waist pouch.
He pulled out a handful of sharp nails with barbs.
Ryosuke flicked the nails outward. Nails filled the air, spinning and flying in disorder until…
Strands of thread precisely wrapped around the nails.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Ryosuke swung the ropes, and under inertia, the long nails flew out and ding ding ding pierced into the ground, anchoring the falling Ryosuke back to the ground.
Not only that, a thin ripple traveled along the rope. One nail, under the ripple's control, bounced from the ground, spun once, and pierced into the ground farther ahead.
Father Pucci's smile froze on his face.
Dozens of nails became Ryosuke's arms, rapidly pulling the distance between Ryosuke and Father Pucci closer at high speed.
Ermes's mouth hung half open, "The f*ck… this is Spider-Man?!"
Without the boost of a strong physique, the range of Ryosuke's Golden Spin was only twenty meters. To take down the priest, he had to close the distance. Ryosuke's gaze pierced the darkness, landing on the hiding Father Pucci inside the visitor center.
Ryosuke and Anasui approached from different angles.
Father Pucci leapt again, changing the direction of gravity once more.
C-Moon's gravity shift, simply put, was that within a three-kilometer range, the priest was the gravity center of that three-kilometer radius. Except, it wasn't pulling inward, gravity pushed outward in all directions.
Father Pucci was the "top" of everything within those three kilometers.
As he changed the gravity direction, the tables, containers, and display models scattered around the visitor center shifted positions again, turning into Pucci's weapons, all hurled at the charging Ryosuke.
C-Moon returned first, its chaotic punches forcing Anasui back, and then, fists clenched, it locked tightly onto Ryosuke.
"Emporio, it's now."
Ryosuke called quietly.
Emporio nodded heavily, catching the long nail with silk threads that Ryosuke tossed over.
The long nail pierced into the ghost room. When it reappeared, a string of books, computers, vases, and a whole series of random items hung behind it.
Ryosuke tugged hard, pulling all the miscellaneous objects out and flinging them forward.
The already messy vision, because of the falling tables, containers, and furniture of the visitor center, became even more blocked due to these random items.
Father Pucci stared at the glimpse of Ryosuke flashing through the gaps between the debris, stared at the steel ball in his hand, and just as Ryosuke's hand was blocked by books and reappeared again, the steel ball in Ryosuke's hand was gone.
A blurred shadow darted among the debris. Father Pucci's hair stood on end. His intuition screamed that no matter how he moved, that damned steel ball would land on him.
This was Lesson-3, Golden Spin.
"C-Moon!"
Father Pucci saw the steel ball smashing at him from the rear-right side and shouted loudly. C-Moon punched fiercely at the steel ball, but unexpectedly, under the high-speed rotation, the steel ball drew a beautiful arc and curved around C-Moon's fist.
Bang!
The steel ball smashed Father Pucci's head.
The air warped slightly, as if an invisible barrier blocked the incoming steel ball. The ball deflected and flew backward.
"Hah… hah…"
Father Pucci panted heavily, wiping his forehead with lingering fear.
Just now, he thought he would really die. It was C-Moon's reverse gravity field that saved him, this was the gravity field that even Star Platinum's punch could not break.
Father Pucci swept away the fear from moments ago. Seeing Ryosuke throw out another steel ball, he let out a sneer and thought of his dear friend's catchphrase, "Pathetic! Pathetic! Jolyne, your attacks can't hurt me at all!"
"Heh, "
Ryosuke chuckled, casually dropping a thumb-sized, square, rose-pink sticker from his hand.
"That is…"
Father Pucci froze for half a second, then immediately heard a whistling sound from behind him. He turned his head and saw the steel ball that had been knocked away earlier flying back toward him at an even faster speed.
He remembered what that rose-pink sticker was!
Ermes's Stand, KISS.
KISS's palm could produce special small stickers. Anything that was tagged with one would split into two.
After removing the sticker, the two split objects would attract each other and recombine into one. During the merge, a "destructive force" would be produced, affecting nearby people and objects.
In the original, it was using this ability that Jotaro and Ermes used a split harpoon gun across several kilometers to pass through the priest's gravity reversal zone and reach the battlefield.
The speed and force of the two steel balls drawn to each other far exceeded the physical limit of Jolyne's body.
The priest had a special reverse gravity field around him that would deflect and block any attack aimed at him.
But just like ice skating on a smooth surface, so long as the skates maintained ninety degrees on the ice, they absolutely would not slip or deflect.
Under Ryosuke's Lesson-3 level control, the two steel balls came spinning at a perfect ninety-degree angle.
"No, C..."
Father Pucci tried to call his Stand.
But it was too late.
Anasui's scouting and the weapon he created.
Ermes's KISS sticker.
Emporio's Ghost Room items.
Everything, all of it, under Ryosuke's careful setup, formed a killing move aimed at Father Pucci.
Bang!
With only one impact sound, the two steel balls landed simultaneously on Father Pucci's left and right temples, rotating inward, crazily compressing inward.
Father Pucci let out a painful howl.
