He ‘pauses’ the flow of time, and is able to take ten seconds worth of action. It WAS ten seconds, right? I thought that was both of their maximums(as of DIO’s death) but I could be wrong. Thats what I meant. It is instantanious but it last 9 seconds. So King Crimson would shorten his time stop. But the only way he could skip some of it is if DIO, being the arrogant bastard he is, said, "NOW, THE WORLD, STOP TIME!" Which would give King Crimsion a clue to what he was doing and Skip it. But he wouldnt know.

Also here is a video that shows how THE WORLD would work in real time: This video is made by morganstedmanms. Go check out his channel and like him. Here is the video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VAnE83ViYA Let’s say Diavolo sees himself with a hole in his chest but doesn’t see DIO anywhere. Epitaph shows Diavolo the RESULT of 10 seconds so the timestop had to have happened some time in between the start of the ten seconds and the end. Diavolo, being as cautious as he is, erases time. Maybe at like the 5 second mark DIO stops time. Diavolo isn’t affected because of time erase and soon the time erase will end. DIO will have no knowledge of what happened in that time and he won’t know if he stopped Time so he’d be Confused. Then Diavolo delivers the final blow. Also DIO would have shouted THE WORLD because he’s stupid. To anyone but DIO, timestop happens in an instant. Since he literally stops time, it’s just like pausing a movie and then resuming it. Diavolo doesn’t shorten the timestop if he erases time. He just completely nullifies it. It’s not that hard to understand timestop..
