,,people think that Dio's "10 seconds" time-stop would greatly interfere with King Crimson's Time Erasure. However, this is far from the case, since that's not how the two abilities would interact.Since both abilities both "last" technically 10 seconds, people think that Diavolo would just shorten Dio's time-stop or just immediately end it.In reality, Dio's time-stop lasts 10 seconds... Within 0 time. A time-stop doesn't actually "last" since it's outright stopping the universal flow of time. Assuming we have a timeline that goes from point 1 to point 10, and Dio time-stops exactly at point 1, his time-stop would start and still end at point 1. Those "10 seconds" of time-stop are only an idea of a time frame within stopped time to somewhat quantify the number of actions Dio can do in his stopped Time.Diavolo, on the other hand, can actually erase literal 10 seconds with King Crimson's ability. In other words, in using the timeline that I previously mentioned, Instead of time proceeding to get from point 1, to point 2, to point 3, etcetera, time would go directly from point 1 to point 10, while Diavolo ill still be able to view all the actions between those two points of erased time.Summing up, Diavolo will completely skip Dio's entire time-stop (or even multiple time-stops), alongside all of his actions in the regular 10 seconds of time. King Crimson's ability will heavily mess with Dio's powers and cognition, while the World's will only confuse Diavolo a little, but still leaving him with a far greater control of the situation. Time-Stop might as well be useless in this scenario.Could Diavolo get past Dio's regeneration and superior stamina? I'd say yes: he can use Epitaph as a precognitive ability (which will additionally give him another advantage over Dio in temporal shenanigans) to give himself an immediate advantage, and after noticing regen, he's time-skip another time while Dio is still wondering what the hell happened, and reduce the latter's head to a bloody pulp until he cannot regenerate any more. Discussion is over people, thanks for coming to this man's TED Talk
