Phil would find that his weapons were back on him again, and through Ben's research, there was little that he could find that was very substantial, considering the mythical and obscure nature of fairies, even in this fantastical world that Othinus hailed from.
"This is... how it must be," Othinus shook her head to Macy,
"There is only one way, but... now that I've effectively went back on my word to my allies, they'll be coming after me now. And in the time it takes for you to convince your own allies to not go after me as well, it might be too late. All I can do now... is relinquish the power of a complete Magic God, and revert to one bound by the 50/50 limitation," she said, and with that, she gave up the power of Gungnir, dropping it and letting it fall to the ground.
At that moment, with a pained gasp, Othinus coughed and vomited a small deal of blood onto the ground, sinking to her knees as the Fairy Spell and the Ultimate Nullifier took a greater toll on her body now that she had relinquished the power of Gungnir, laying bare on the rooftop now. She was now far weaker than she had ever been, vulnerable to all the things she had previously been impervious to.
"N-Nngh..."
"..."
Feeling pity swell up from inside, even after everything Othinus had done, Touma's expression softened more after adjusting to the return of the multiverse that they had found familiar. He dared to step toward the one-eyed girl before him, beginning to extend his hand to her. As though reaching out for her, from one individual to another.
A gesture that she had been looking for all this time.
And then.
"The World!"
SHHK!
"A-Aghh... Gughh...?!"
With a sickening sound, a massive yellow fist punched through Othinus's frail body, her form impaled at her stomach. As the fist pulled out, Othinus's body violently sinking into the rooftop where she lay motionless, behind her stood a towering man of 6'5, in in flashy yellow clothing while a spirit, just as gaudy, floated next to him.
DIO, and his Stand, The World.
"Have you already forgotten, cursed witch? That was the agreement we settled on. The moment one's existence became inconvenient to the other, that would be the moment our partnership would end. And with both of the artifacts in place, I have no need for you any more!" DIO cackled, standing before everyone now.
"Wha--?!" Touma gasped in shock as Othinus was maimed before his very eyes, his eyes quickly widening and then narrowing just as quickly,
"You... You monster! You even see your allies as tools that have an end use, even when she was working with you?!"
DIO merely clicked his tongue and sneered at Touma, as though not finding him even worth addressing with words, instead opting to direct his gaze toward Gungnir instead. Swiftly, faster than light itself, The World lurched forward and grabbed the godly spear, claiming the power for himself! Raising it haughtily, he cackled once again without regret. On the contrary, in that moment, he never seemed more vibrant and pleased that every moment in his life had led up to here.
As Gungnir's tip glowed brightly once more, the power transferring from Othinus straight to DIO, so too did DIO's body begin glowing. His hair grew longer, his clothes morphed, and even his skin tone changed to an inhuman shade of light blue, and so too did The World, his Stand's eyes becoming pitch black like an abyss as a malevolent aura began emanating from it.
He had ascended.
"So this is it! A better high than I ever could have imagined! But becoming the god of this world isn't enough! Once I have that Arrow, I'll reach the multiversal levels that that witch did!" He boasted, directing his gaze at Giorno as he and his Stand loomed toward him.
"So then, Giorno... Won't you honor your father?!"
With that, The World -- or rather, The World Over Heaven now -- flew forward, one fist poised and ready to punch Giorno while the other hand reached to steal the Arrow right off him!
"...!"
Giorno's mouth went slightly agape, the boy stumbling back as the blood of a Magic God spilled on his shoes. He winced as Othinus' body sank into the floor of the rooftop, but it didn't last for long once he recognizes whom the yellow fist belonged to. Giorno and Jotaro were frozen in a shocked silence as DIO pierced himself with the tip of Gungnir, before finally vocalizing.
"DIO!"
"Father...!"
Jotaro grit his teeth, having stayed out of the 'duel' between Othinus and Giorno for long enough. Star Platinum instantly emerged from the man's body, lunging forward to strike DIO despite his startling transformation, but Giorno stuck his hand out and halted his ally's advance as if he could feel the malevolent aura radiating from his father's newly-born Stand.
The boy met his father's gaze with equal intensity.
"Even at the end of the multiverse... all you do is 'take' from others. The cycle of torment ends here! I will use the power I've inherited from you... to end you, father!"
Giorno broke into a sprint, charging head-on towards the ascended DIO.
"GOLD EXPERIENCE REQUIEM!"
"Hmph... THE WORLD OVER HEAVEN!"
"You will never reach reality!"
Gold Experience Requiem appeared alongside Giorno and lunged ahead, flinging its fist forward to meet The World Over Heaven's strike! The two fists clashed against each other with the ground-shattering boom that locked the two Stands into a stalemate, each of their fists pushing against the other in a test of reality-bending strength.
However, beads of sweat began to pour down Giorno's face as he gritted his teeth.
"Th-this is...!" he stuttered, bracing himself beneath the steadily increasing weight.
"This... This is only the beginning of your defeat!"
Requiem's free hand moved in tune with Giorno's silent command - or rather, the hand that was now tightly gripping the Arrow. Requiem flung its hand backward, sending the artifact soaring through the air behind itself and over Giorno's head. Just in time for a ghostly, platinum-laden fist to shoot upward and snatch it from the air.
"Heh... Giorno Giovanna..."
Jotaro Kujo looked upon the Arrow as Star Platinum phased through his body, poised to stab the Arrow through his abdomen. The tall man released an exhausted sigh, but then locked his gaze with DIO's as he thrust the Arrow downwards!
"You really are a reliable ally."
SHNK!
The Arrow's tip pierced Star Platinum's broad chest, glowing brightly as it made contact with the Stand's purple skin. Just as it happened to Giorno, a bright golden light expanded outward from Jotaro Kujo like an explosion, consuming his body and flashing to the tune of a beating heart.
A rumbling shockwave suddenly blew away the bubble of light, and Jotaro Kujo emerged from the transformation with Star Platinum at his side, crackling with a new, golden energy.
"Star Platinum: The World Over Heaven!"
Jotaro stood defiantly against DIO's malevolent aura, digging one hand into his pocket and purposely leaving the other out to reveal the Arrow still in his grasp.
"Having the same type of Stand still applies, you idiot."
Jotaro raised a hand that normally point a finger towards DIO, but instead, he mockingly pointed the Arrow in his direction.
"Come at me, DIO. This'll be our final round."
The new god easily managed to win the clash against Giorno, The World Over Heaven pushing forward and throwing Gold Experience Requiem off without much effort, and by extension, Giorno found himself pushed back several feet as well. Drawing his arms back, DIO glared at the man in white.
"Jotaro!! Still, after all this time, you continue to defy me! You are not worthy of the power of that Arrow!" He exclaimed far more aggressively than ever before, exuding far more power than he ever did when the group had first encountered him. Even without the Arrow, DIO's power was a force to be reckoned with when he had just Gungnir alone, and so he began walking forward while Giorno was still pushed back, menacing like an anticipating killer.
Clutching Gungnir tightly in his hand, DIO grinned with unmistakably evil intent.
"But I'm not so foolish as to attempt to play this game of keep-away, even if our Stands are evenly matched. I'LL SIMPLY MAKE A NEW WORLD WHERE YOUR POWERS ARE MEANINGLESS!"
"No... Nooooo!" Touma screamed, and without thinking, his body suddenly began running between Jotaro and DIO, the boy's right hand raised and clenched.
Ignoring Touma, DIO raised Gungnir and threw it right at Jotaro!
And then... Something happened.
The spear that was meant for Jotaro pierced Touma instead, violently, gruesomely cutting through the length of his right hand horizontally by the blade, splitting it apart! And then...
"G-Guughh!"
Touma's fist had practically caught Gungnir, and with the property of his power, Imagine Breaker, in place, the only thing that could ever happen when an object magical in nature touched Imagine Breaker... happened.
Gungnir crumpled, and then burst into a small explosion.
The rest of Touma's arm came flying off with the explosion, and from the smoke... Something
truly bizarre emerged from the hole where his right arm used to be.
GRSSSSSSHHHHH!!
Suddenly, to put it simply, eight massive, beastial dragons emerged from the hole that used to house Touma's arm! The air shook violently with enough force as the eight dragons lurched forward at DIO, causing Touma's comparatively light body to be pushed back as they roared and showed off their terrifying maws!
"What...?! What kind of power does this boy...?!" DIO exclaimed with wide eyes, surprised at Touma's sudden surprise even in his ascended form, though he quickly recovered, shaking his head.
"Feh, it matters not! You may have been able to disrupt The World's power long ago, but The World Over Heaven is leagues beyond!" He roared as his Stand dashed forward to clash with the eight dragons.
With a powerful punch, he was able to instantly erase one of them from existence, but it mattered little as the rest of the massive dragons violently bit into DIO's body, digging their teeth inside and eliciting pained grunts from the man himself. Still, as though fueled by the sheer magnitude of his ambition, he forced himself through the pain, and with The World Over Heaven, swiped away at the dragons, but not without their marks being left on his body as blood leaked out of the many gashes made.
With that, Touma's body hit the ground and rolled near the edge of the rooftop, putting him out of commission, but he had (inadvertently) made his mark all the same, with DIO holding his wounded body and forced to one knee, breathing heavily as he glared at Jotaro.
"You... Youuuuu... YOUUUUUU...! EVER A THORN IN MY SIDE, JOTARO! YOU AND YOUR ALLIES! YOU'LL NEVER REACH HEAVEN IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!!"
"Shut the hell up. You don't know anything about having a thorn in your side, DIO."
Jotaro sneered, boldly approaching his downed rival without an ounce of hesitation in his step. The evolved Star Platinum loomed around its master, surrounded by the humming, crackling golden energy of the Arrow.
"At first... I thought the only reason I was here was to chase after you. So much has happened that I can't say that anymore. But that doesn't mean I haven't forgotten what you've done. A serial killer... a gang full of Stand users... and a crazy priest... Good grief."
"You've been a thorn in the side of my family for generations. I haven't an ounce of pity for you. But, if I alone just erased you from existence in front of everyone else, it'd leave a bad taste in my mouth."
Jotaro commanded Star Platinum Over Heaven to tightly grip the Arrow, raising it into the air.
"That's why..."
The aura of power that rivaled DIO's aura of malevolence rushed from Star Platinum's grip into the Arrow's stem, forming a bond of energy that shook the rooftop and caused Jotaro to lift up off the ground, floating in the air and staring down upon DIO like a scene out of a holy book. That is when a soft, golden light began to wash over the rooftop and all of its inhabitants.
"I'm letting everyone else get a turn first."
Suddenly, everyone standing on the rooftop felt a vibrant heat course through their veins like a fast-acting drug. A wealth of energy built up within your core, as raw power dripped from your fingertips. Wounds, both physical and mental, vanished beneath this inexplicable rush of energy and power through your bodies.
"Star Platinum: The World Over Heaven... reality has been rewritten. I gave everyone a little 'buff', just to level the playing field."
Giorno staggered to his feet, breathing heavily for a moment before all of his energy returned to him in the single second. In an instant, Giorno Giovanna is back in the air, floating alongside Jotaro and looking down at his crippled, desperate father with Gold Experience Requiem in tow.
"So this is the true potential of Star Platinum... thank you, Jotaro."
"Everyone, this is it! Give it everything you have, and don't hold back! Requiem will not allow you to be injured!"
Giorno and Jotaro exchanged a look with one another, before looking down upon DIO with piercing glares.
"You will never reach reality!"
Over Heaven and Requiem lunged forward alongside their respective users, spiraling around each other before pulling back their fists and launching them into DIO's face like a pair of nuclear warheads.
As Jotaro had promised,
everyone suddenly felt a surge of godly power coarse through their bodies. They had become infinitely stronger, as did their weapons, and were granted the ability of flight -- if they didn't already have it -- to contend against DIO.
This was the final stand, the last hurdle to save the multiverse.
