chapter-694

“Your story ends here!” Dio said as he knew that Dark Crystal wouldn’t be able to do anything for now. At the same time, Dark Crystal’s face was so horrifying that no word could describe how hideous it was, but one thing for sure, she would resent Dio even more. She knew that she hadn’t lost just yet, so she immediately used her last resort!

A flash of light suddenly flashed from Dark Crystal’s body, and her head rolled on the ground as it melted horribly. But when Dio was about to collect the Three Infinity Stones in her possession, the Aether suddenly got out of her melting body and instantly forced itself into Dio’s body.

Dio’s complexion instantly changed as he felt his life force was being drained by the Aether. At the same time, an unknown mental force was trying to rob him of his consciousness! Dio was annoyed beyond belief as he realised something. He realised that the Aether had become Dark Crystal’s container, serving as her ticket to slip into another body, and that was how she could survive the first time!

Crystal’s ability to make all her dreams a reality has been influenced by Dark Crystal all along, and now that she had the Reality Stone, her dreams’ power was enhanced dramatically! Had it not because of the [Gold Experience] that was still summoned at the time, Dio would’ve completely lost all his life force, and the Aether would’ve successfully taken over his body completely!

Even so, Dio was having a hard time dealing with the physical and mental attack from the Aether. He had to concentrate to the fullest to make sure that the enemy didn’t get the upper hand this time. Dio knew that Dark Crystal had grown desperate, and this kind of attack was her last resort, so as long as he could survive this attack from Dark Crystal, he would emerge victorious! He just had to resist and wait for Dark Crystal to exhaust all her options.

But the problem with that plan of Dio was basically the time itself! Because Dark Crystal’s body was already dead, the storm that was created by the Three Infinity Stones in her possession became unstable and began to go berserk. Dio knew for a fact that just in a matter of seconds, this entire area would be torn into pieces by the raging storm!

So, Dio gritted his teeth and made a somewhat risky decision. He knew that he wouldn’t survive right now if he didn’t do anything, so he let down his guard for a second to call for Galaxy! He quickly telepathically called for Galaxy to pick him up as he couldn’t move, but Dark Crystal almost put him to sleep at that exact moment!

Dio had to gamble everything to Galaxy’s arrival now as he would be victorious if she came to get him out of this storm!

Of course, Galaxy wouldn’t let Dio down. Through their Soul Corridor, Galaxy accurately pinpointed Dio’s location and immediately created a wormhole right beside Dio. Galaxy knew her mission very well, and so, as soon as she walked out of her wormhole, she bit Dio’s shirt and flung him to her back, ready to get out of this sticky situation.

Before she teleported away from the area, Galaxy knew that she had to secure the two Infinity Stones on the ground after Dark Crystal’s body died. However, at the same moment, she was forced to take a few steps back as a crack began to form in the space between her and the two Infinity Stones.

Galaxy immediately created a new wormhole and immediately leapt inside, leaving the two Infinity Stones behind. That was the best course of action that she had to take as the crack was created by the Space Stones, meaning that Thanos was about to come!

In fact, Thanos coming at such a perfect timing wasn’t a coincidence as he could monitor Dark Crystal with the communication device he gave to Dark Crystal beforehand. It tracked Dark Crystal’s location and vitals, so after he noticed Dark Crystal’s vital disappeared, he knew it was the best time to retrieve the Infinity Stones.

He used the Space Stone to immediately make his way to the given coordinate and suddenly appeared before Dio. He wanted to kill him, but it was already too late as he saw that the weird Pegasus had taken Dio away.

But it didn’t matter now as he got his hands on both Time Stone and Mind Stone now. The only remaining stone he had to collect was the Reality Stone that was still attacking Dio right now. Thanos smirked as he thought that he had already won. With 5 Infinity Stones on his gauntlet, no one would be able to defy him!

At the same time, when Galaxy got out of the storm with her Wormhole ability, Dio looked back at the storm. It started to rise to the sky and began to twist menacingly before exploding without any trace. The explosion was so powerful that it created a crater on the ground. Even all glasses on the Wakanda Palace shattered from the vibration.

The wave of air was so violent that it almost took the entire palace off of the ground, but fortunately, such a tragedy didn’t happen.

Dio climbed down from Galaxy’s back and sighed in relief. At the same time, everyone saw Dio on the palace’s ground and immediately rushed towards him worriedly. They were as excited as they were worried about Dio’s safety.

Surely, Wanda was the one who worried about Dio’s safety the most!

“Dio!” Wanda shouted at Dio, but Dio didn’t seem to react to her words, making her even more worried than she was earlier. Everyone immediately knew that something was wrong! They immediately rushed to Dio’s side and inspected his body, but they didn’t see anything abnormal. That being said, they didn’t see any Infinity Stones in his possession, so did he fail to secure the Infinity Stones?

“I think that’ll be the least of our concern!” T’challa said as he turned everyone’s attention towards the storm earlier.

Now, instead of a woman, a man was standing in what was supposed to be the eye of the storm! It was a tall man with purple skin!
