[quote=@Lugubrious] Keep in mind that DIO did not audibly defend his relationship. If you're referring to this... He was needling Forneus for his inability to gain allies, much less gain them meaningfully. DIO was also not given power. True, it came from a stone mask, but he wasn't given the stone mask, and even if he would have been, it would have been so that a Pillar Man could feed off him. [/quote] Ah, absolutely. Forneus' inability to gain allies is definetley one of his weaknesses, and since DIO basically killed the only ally he had he's pretty upset upset. I went on a walk on a bit and I think that Forneus would most likely scold DIO for hurting such a defenseless creature, and then telling him that such a creature with power has no reason to defend himself against insults if he's already THAT powerful. Plus I just realized since Forneus can read Aura he can most likely see the image of the stand, not that he could harm it- he'd just know of it's existence. It's a law that a stand may only be hurt by another stand or recieve damage equal to that of its user. This is quite a predicament! I have never seen such a display of writing. It appears that I have hit another plateau, but I won't give! I'll have to figure out something! I just don't know what! Forneus could make an ally out of DIO if he told him that the Death Eclipse would reset the world and if that DIO joined him he could have a high place in the Abyss and even be in charge of the new worlds that it created. But then again, DIO's intentions are to rule over everything are they not? So that wouldn't please him in the slightest.
