The barrage was completely destroyed.
This time, the sympathetic detonation centered on the mini-car, with a radius of over 100 meters. Everything within it was utterly annihilated, not even a single atom remained. This was destruction in its truest sense, leaving only an absolute vacuum in its place.
Perhaps a few Stand Users might have been hidden there, but it no longer mattered, because they too had been completely eliminated.
This is sympathetic detonation: the mini-car has a radius of 120 meters, and the Sheer Heart Attack Ontology (main body) has a radius of 200 meters (upper limit, specific blast range determined by the Ontology's level of anger).
From now on, Sheer Heart Attack and the five mini-cars it split into can all use this terrifying power. Each use has only a 5-second cooldown, during which they will completely lose their combat capability (the total number of mini-cars has reached 8).
However, this move has no cost; on the contrary, after use, Kira Yoshikage, including his Ontology, will recover a large amount of stamina and energy.
Theoretically, with this ability, Kira Yoshikage wouldn't even need to eat or breathe anymore; he could survive normally by using sympathetic detonation once every two days.
Meanwhile, the army commander on the other side was secretly Rejoice that he was not on the front line, and fortunately, enough troops had been dispatched this time. Under the officer's roar, he ordered the re-establishment of firing points to suppress Kira Yoshikage.
Then the remaining troops moved swiftly... they became a routed army. Except for a few elite squads, no one paid attention to their superior's orders; they all turned and ran.
What a joke!
In a country controlled by gangs like this, would they want to die for the country? For them, being a soldier was just a job, and earning their meager salary was enough.
Diavolo did put a bounty on Kira Yoshikage, but even if he was killed, the money would go to the officials and army leaders above, what did it have to do with these foot soldiers?
Their lives were their own!
Kira Yoshikage watched the fleeing people indifferently, only feeling the immense energy surging within him. Under this power, his body began to repair itself, to be reconstructed.
The injuries he had just sustained vanished instantly. He gained a complete, even more perfect body than before. His muscles were stronger, and his skin was firmer.
He coughed lightly twice.
"Cough, cough..." He coughed up saliva mixed with gravel and blood foam, his eyes sharp as knives, scanning the battlefield.
Ordinary soldiers were not to be feared, and most of them had already fled. The real threat was the Stand Users mixed in with the army.
Just then, a strange heatwave suddenly swept through the entire street with astonishing speed!
A large number of incendiary bombs, seemingly from nowhere, rained down on the street, instantly raising the temperature of the entire area.
No, Kira Yoshikage touched the flames on the ground. Looking at his burning hand, he realized, "These are incendiary bombs with white phosphorus? Is this legal under international law?"
The temperature rapidly increased within seconds, as if instantly transitioning from spring or autumn in Italy to the scorching midday of midsummer! The air shimmered slightly due to the high temperature.
"What's going on?!"
"It's so hot!" "I feel... my body has no strength..."
The remaining soldiers who were still firing suddenly felt an inexplicable weakness and fatigue, as if they had been marching for days and nights. Their muscles ached, their breathing was rapid, and even lifting their guns became difficult.
Their skin visibly lost moisture and developed wrinkles at a speed visible to the naked eye. Some even began to cough violently, as if they had aged decades in an instant!
This is The Grateful Dead! Prosciutto has arrived!
Kira Yoshikage immediately felt the erosion of this power! His cell activity plummeted, and a sense of fatigue and aging surged like a tide.
"Tsk... widespread aging... what a troublesome ability..."
Kira Yoshikage spat. This indiscriminate, wide-ranging ability was a disaster for the army, and a huge weakening for him as well. But it didn't matter, he had his own way of dealing with it.
Almost at the same time the heatwave struck—
Whoosh!
An almost transparent, extremely thin fishing line, like a venomous snake, silently shot out from the shadows behind Kira Yoshikage, precisely wrapping around his neck!
The tip of the fishing line gleamed with a cold light; once entangled, it could instantly sever a head!
Beach Boy! Pesci has also made his move!
The two brothers cooperated extremely well: one used The Grateful Dead for large-scale weakening and suppression, while the other used an absolutely covert fishing line for a fatal blow!
The fishing line was extremely fast and almost silent!
However, Kira Yoshikage's vigilance had already reached its peak. Killer Queen's superhuman senses caught the subtle airflow and killing intent!
"Hmph!" Kira Yoshikage didn't even turn his head. Killer Queen's arm twisted backward at a strange angle, accurately and precisely grabbing the deadly fishing line!
"What?!" Pesci, hiding behind cover in the distance, exclaimed, but it was already too late.
"Idiot! Don't let him touch it!" Prosciutto's angry roar came through the intercom. He already knew about Killer Queen's ability to turn objects into bombs.
But it was already too late!
Click.
Killer Queen's fingertips lightly touched the fishing line.
"First Bomb."
Boom!!!
A terrifying explosion instantly transmitted backward along the fishing line!
At the same time, the same explosion occurred on Pesci. Killer Queen directly turned Pesci's Ontology into a bomb through this Stand.
"Pesci!" Prosciutto roared, his eyes bloodshot!
Pesci was scared out of his wits and instinctively tried to throw away the fishing rod in his hand, but it had no effect.
Boom!!!
The wall and pile of debris where he was located were blown to smithereens!
Pesci screamed, and his entire body exploded. His Stand, Beach Boy, also dissipated with him.
"Pesci!!!" Prosciutto let out an angry roar. The aging effect of The Grateful Dead suddenly intensified due to his emotional fluctuations! Soldiers on the street weakened and collapsed in droves, some even aging directly to death!
Kira Yoshikage also felt the pressure double. A few strands of white hair even appeared at his temples! But he smiled instead.
"It seems... you value brotherhood?" He licked his dry lips, a cruel glint flashing in his eyes, "Then let me make you even angrier!"
With a thought, another mini-car shot out from behind him, dragging deep ruts at an astonishing speed, directly charging towards Prosciutto's general direction!
This guy's hiding was quite good, but unfortunately, due to his loud shout to Pesci, he exposed his position.
"Big brother! Watch out!" A startled cry rang out.
Prosciutto also felt the terrifying energy contained within that mini-car. He immediately tried to use The Grateful Dead to grab the mini-car and throw it away, but Sheer Heart Attack's power and speed were too great; his move was useless.
"Damn it!" Prosciutto suddenly leaped out from his hiding place, trying to dodge.
But just then, boom! Boom! Boom!
That terrifying mini-tank had already rushed in front of him!
A trace of despair flashed in Prosciutto's eyes, then transformed into complete madness! He knew he couldn't dodge it!
"Bastard!!! Go to hell with me!"
He roared, pushing his Stand ability to its limit, even burning his own life! He knew he was going to die, but he couldn't just die in vain.
Even in death, he had to inflict final damage on the enemy, helping his teammates create an opportunity. His death had to be valuable.
He had already prepared himself to die at any moment!
A terrifying power erupted like a tangible force, attempting to completely age Kira Yoshikage at the last moment!
However, the next moment, Sheer Heart Attack slammed into his body!
But it didn't explode immediately! Instead, it clung tightly to him like a bone-deep ulcer!
A second of dead silence.
Then, boom!!!!!!!!!!
A terrifying explosion, ten times more violent than any previous one, erupted centered on Prosciutto!
This time, it was the Ontology that went!
Blinding white light instantly swallowed everything! Following closely behind was the secondary destructive energy release known as "sympathetic detonation"! A semicircular, absolutely destructive force field suddenly spread, instantly annihilating everything within 150 meters of Prosciutto, whether it was buildings, cover, soldiers, or vehicles! Not even ashes were left!
The shockwave from the explosion violently threw Kira Yoshikage, who was further away, into the air, slamming him heavily against a crumbling wall!
But he sustained no injuries; instead, he became more energetic. He could feel a large amount of energy generated from the annihilated matter, and a part of it entered his body.
As the light dissipated, only a huge, smooth, bottomless circular scorch mark remained!
Prosciutto, the elite of the assassination squad, along with everything around him, was completely erased from the world!
Possibly, a few of his companions around him were also erased, but it's unknown if there were any left.
"The taste of sympathetic detonation... is good."
However, before he could catch his breath, a new sense of crisis suddenly descended!
The shadow behind him suddenly wriggled unnaturally! A cold dagger silently stabbed towards his back!
At the same time, his stomach, which had just recovered from the aging, suddenly felt uncomfortable. A pair of scissors formed inside his stomach, along with a dozen blades that had inexplicably grown within his body.
Another member of the assassination squad, using the chaos and cover created by his companion's life, launched a fatal sneak attack!
