The group drove across India. Most of this region was undeveloped, with various steep cliffs, making driving extremely dangerous.
However, fortunately, because the area was vast and sparsely populated, there were few other vehicles on the road, avoiding some unnecessary accidents.
"Hey, have you noticed that the fog around us seems to be getting a bit heavy?"
Polnareff, who was driving, suddenly spoke, and the others immediately became alert.
Justice, the Stand of mist, and also the mother of J. Geil, Hanged Man's true body.
Its external manifestation was mist, so when the group noticed the surrounding mist thickening, they immediately became alert.
Although they had encountered mist more than once along the way, everyone still remained vigilant, as it was always better than being caught off guard by a surprise attack.
"Since it's foggy, let's drive slower and not stop in any nearby villages."
Joseph said, looking at the increasingly dense fog as dusk approached. This had been agreed upon long ago, as Enya Geil's Stand, Justice, had no actual killing power; as long as they weren't injured, it wouldn't be a problem.
"Did you hear something?"
Kiana, who was sitting in the back row with Takatsuki and Raiden Mei, suddenly spoke.
"A sound?"
The others immediately strained their ears, even releasing their Stands.
Kiana's five senses were much stronger than ordinary people's. As the group began to pay attention to their surroundings, Jotaro heard something approaching.
"There's an engine sound approaching."
Star Platinum's gaze instantly turned to the back of the car, but the dense fog obscured the view, making it impossible to see the car coming from behind.
However, everyone knew that in this desolate place, any car approaching could only be pursuers.
"What should we do? Should we stop? There's a cliff right next to us, and it's very dangerous in the car."
Kakyoin looked at the cliff beside them. The cliff was bottomless; falling down would surely mean death.
"Yes, if it's an enemy, it's indeed very dangerous here. Polnareff, stop the car first."
Joseph also made a judgment after assessing the current situation.
As the group stopped the car and stood against the mountain wall, the car behind them also became visible.
The enemy seemed to have no intention of concealing their identity. A huge and menacing car crashed towards the group.
"It really is an enemy!"
Looking at the car-shaped Stand named Wheel of Fortune, several people released their own Stands.
"Heehahahahaha!"
With an unpleasant laugh, the hideous car suddenly lifted its front end, and a transparent liquid instantly shot towards everyone.
But it was blocked by an invisible wall.
"White Album: Gently Weeps!"
The air in front of several people was frozen, forming an invisible wall. Even real bullets couldn't penetrate the frozen air, so naturally, these high-pressure liquid bullets formed by gasoline spray couldn't break through either.
"Huh!? What's going on!?"
The frozen air was invisible and colorless, so the opponent naturally didn't know why his attack was blocked.
"Since the opponent attacked directly, does that mean this mist is a Stand?"
The Stand Justice has no other destructive power. Ordinary people, even if they stayed in it for a lifetime, would not be affected. However, if they were injured in this mist, even a tiny scratch, the mist would surge into it, forming a hole, and then the control of that part of the limb would be taken away.
And Wheel of Fortune's gasoline bullets couldn't cause fatal injuries, but they could scrape many wounds on a person's body.
"Hmph! In that case! Let me ram you to death!"
Wheel of Fortune suddenly transformed, its front end opening and closing like the mouth of a hideous giant beast. Spikes also squeezed out of its four tires, and the entire car, as if alive, charged towards the group.
But the result was a huge roar, as if it had crashed into an iron wall.
"What's going on!?"
Blocking the gasoline bullets and blocking Wheel of Fortune's ramming attack were two different things. Although Wheel of Fortune wouldn't be damaged by crashing into the frozen air wall, it prevented him from moving forward, and the invisible nature of the air wall meant he didn't even know what was blocking him.
In reality, Takatsuki didn't create a wall that could block Wheel of Fortune's impact. Instead, when Wheel of Fortune crashed, he created frozen air in its path and in the gaps of its wheels, jamming it.
"Avdol!"
After blocking Wheel of Fortune's impact, Takatsuki looked at Avdol beside him.
"Leave it to me!"
With his hands clasped together, the bird-headed, human-bodied Magician's Red appeared behind him. The temperature, which had dropped due to White Album, rose slightly.
"Crossfire Hurricane!"
A huge explosion of flames instantly flew past everyone and struck Wheel of Fortune's car body. Even burning flames lingered in the air…
No, it wasn't burning flames, but the frozen air being ignited by the flames.
The power of a Stand is so outrageous and strange, even disregarding physical laws to some extent. The reason Magician's Red is a Magician is because his flames can be manipulated at will like magic.
Temperature, direction, and burning speed can all be controlled at will.
Making it stick to the frozen air like a persistent ulcer is also possible.
Although Wheel of Fortune's car had high defense, it still shrieked as it was burned by these inescapable flames, and soon lost all movement.
"Ah, it's a good thing we had information on these guys."
Looking at Wheel of Fortune, which had completely lost its ability to resist and turned back into a broken car after being thoroughly ignited by Avdol's flames, Joseph let out a long breath: "As expected, information is very important in Stand battles."
"So, as for this mist…"
Joseph looked at Jotaro beside him. Jotaro pulled down his hat.
"Yare yare…"
Star Platinum began frantically sucking in the surrounding mist. In less than a minute, the surrounding mist was completely drawn in.
"Although I knew it could do something like this, seeing it with my own eyes is truly terrifying."
Polnareff's eyes widened as he watched Star Platinum suck in the mist that filled the valley, and he immediately felt that this Stand was truly invincible.
"Yare yare, I just don't know where the user is hiding."
After Star Platinum sucked in all the surrounding mist, there was no other movement around.
The range of Justice was too large; even after defeating the Stand, they couldn't find the user's hiding place.
"Alright, since the enemy has been dealt with, let's continue. Hopefully, we can reach the next resting point before dark."
Everyone nodded and returned to the car, but no one noticed that Takatsuki quietly slipped a piece of ice into the ground, and within that ice, there was a Stand so tiny it was invisible to the naked eye.
