In Rolling Stone, we see that the future was, in fact, set since the beginning of this journey and that Giorno would succeed only at the cost of his dear friends.

Afterall, the future Diavolo saw where the arrow stabbed straight through Giorno was not false he didn’t get the full picture of it. The sad fact of the matter is that this story gives credence to Diavolo’s nihilistic views on fate. He didn’t really change fate, but instead, altered its course. However, by putting off Bucciarati’s death, he instead additionally doomed his friends Narancia and Abbacchio. If Bucciarati were to touch it, he could have been spared a horrible, miserable death and instead would have died peacefully. Mista, not being the brightest guy, did not seem to understand that Rolling Stone was only foretelling Bucciarati’s fate and was not directly responsible for it. Of course, just as we’re basking in Giorno’s triumph against Diavolo, we’re then immediately undercut with the sad revelation of Mista’s pointless struggle against Rolling Stone. In essence, fate lost to the power of humanity’s will to fight against it. Rather than seeing and controlling fate, Golden Experience Requiem allows Giorno to make his own future.
Giorno’s evolution of Golden Experience into Requiem is a satisfying moment of growth because his new power directly challenges that of King Crimson. This is the driving conflict that puts him at odds with Buciarati’s crew (and by extension Giorno), who challenge the current order and fight against the system that Diavolo is so intent on maintaining. Diavolo’s arrogance stems from his belief that he is able to control the fate of anyone who crosses him, which allows him to build his criminal empire completely in the shadows.
The takeaway here is that Diavolo’s power is control over fate. There are some other minor rules about being able to interact with organic and inorganic material, but that’s the gist of it.
King Crimson pauses time for its user, allows them to see 10 seconds into the future, and react within that timespan. It’s a real shame that King Crimson has been so hyped up as being this indecipherable ability that “just works” as the original fan translations of Part 5 have made it sound far more indecipherable than it actually is.
