Meanwhile Dio and Culchs Fight -
Dio, shocked beyond belief, stumbled back. "Impossible." The realization hit him like a tidal wave.
"Blocking this attack means..." Dio's mind reeled, unable to process it at first." It means Culch has caught up with me! Impossible!"
His thoughts spiraled in disbelief. "How could it be? No one could survive the hellish time-loop I trapped Culch in."
But the evidence stood before him , Culch was no longer the broken, defeated demon. He was alive, standing tall, his wounds still fresh but his resolve unshaken.
The reality around them continued to fracture, collapsing under the weight of their overwhelming power.
And for the first time, Dio felt uncertainty. For the first time, Dio was sure of his victory but after Culch blocked that attack that surety broke and turned into unsurely.
