Stand User in Marvel Universe Chapter 501 - Standard Weapon-Chain
450 Tony Wants to Retire
"Where's the money?"
"You didn't bring what I want."
Wow!
Dozens of guns were pulled out and pointed at each other at the same time.
"Crazy, I know that you aren't right in the head, but unfortunately, I already know your plan!"
"It doesn't matter! I have always wanted to settle it out with you!"
"Me? Are you ready to die?"
"Let's duke it out, bitch! You are outnumbered!"The two big men kept cursing at each other, and no one dared to stop them. Suddenly, spider silk came in the middle while a kid was hanging upside down from it.
"Do not move! You are surrounded!"
Both sides were surprised as they didn't know where this idiot came from! They were certain that this boy wasn't with them at all!
Spider-Man, who was posing heroically earlier, was embarrassed as no one really bother saying anything.
But then again, he himself began to wonder how could the superheroes in the movie pose so calmly while it was extremely embarrassing!
"Hey, you guys are cocaine dealers, right? You must have it here with you guys! I need those for evidence later!" Spider-Man said excitedly.
He then shot his web towards the suitcase on the side and then immediately swung to the roof once more.
He already learned his lesson in the past, and now, he understood that he needed to know what he was dealing with first before he could take down anyone.
"That guy is crazy; kill him!"
However, the enemy obviously wouldn't let Spider-Man do what he wanted! They began shooting Spider-Man to get back their suitcase and escaped this place.
The bullet flew everywhere, and both sides stopped fighting each other as they found a new target that they need to take down.
Despite his lack of equipment, Spider-Man was a model example of overpowered mutation. He easily slipped through every bullet while violently opened the suitcase and found out that one of them was full of money while the other suitcase was full of white powder-like laundry detergent!
Peter immediately knew that he hit the jackpot! The middle-aged taco guy was right! This place was really being used by a drug dealer.
Peter began to think that it wouldn't hurt to buy tacos from that kind of middle-aged man using the money in the suitcase to support his business.
But he started to realise that the Drug Dealer's money was illegal! Feeling regret and pity for himself, Peter immediately stuck the suitcases on the high wall.
Although he was a very poor guy who had less than 10 dollars as his allowance a day, he was determined to become a superhero like the Avengers, hence wouldn't do anything illegal!
Spider-Man was surely naïve as he was young and didn't really understand how cruel this world could be."What do you think?"
"It is too soon! Obviously, he is strong! But he is too naïve and innocent."
Dio and Tony were high in the sky above the factory, observing Peter from afar. While the good guy selling tacos was Happy in disguise, what happened here was a real gang war. Even the undergoing transaction that happened earlier was real!
How Tony managed to get his hands on the information about the transaction itself was unknown as it probably had something to do with SHIELD.
Tony and Dio kept observing Peter's personality, strength, and some other things that they deemed necessary for superheroes. But now, as it came to an end, there came Tony supposedly spectacular entry.
"He is a 14-year-old child, and he probably never experienced anything traumatic before, but at the very least, he can control his power to perfection! I have a good expectation about the kid!" Tony said honestly as he prepared to go off, surprising the little spider.
"But you can not deny that both his strengths and weaknesses are equal. Giving mercy to any villain is not a good thing to do! You must not leave any points that may lead to bigger trouble in the future! After all, there is no telling what happened in the future!" Dio said solemnly.
Dio might not be a pessimistic guy, but surely, Spider-Man's greatest weakness was still the same, be it on the comic books or in this world!
In that case, Dio was hoping that the little spider could keep his innocent heart a little bit longer, but also hoped that the little spider could stop being so naïve!
Giving mercy to any villain was not an act of kindness, but a sheer stupidity!
Tony thought of Dio's word for a moment, he didn't argue with Dio, but he knew that the little spider could do so much better if he was guided properly, "I admit that you have a good point, but neither of us can see the future! At least, he is a great addition right now, isn't he?" Tony said with a smile on his face.
Dio was stunned by Tony's words as he realised that Tony was looking at the little spider exactly like how a father would look at their son!
The gaze that Tony showed was a little bit unexpected for Dio, was it because how Peter Parker resembled Tony?
But Dio could see the theory that Tony regard Peter as his own son.
"Tony, you have changed..."
"Strange, isn't it?"
"If I say my biggest wish now is to marry Pepper and have a football team of my own children that I don't mind giving up everything I have now for that to happen, will you believe what I said?" Tony asked with a solemn look on his face.
Dio took a deep breath and nodded.
"Just kidding! Man, who do you think I am! The great Tony Stark bound by marriage and have a whole bunch of little shit around?" Tony said while laughing at Dio for trusting his joke.
But deep down, Tony knew that all he said was the truth, but he couldn't retire as Iron Man now that the Earth might face so many more crises in the future!
The nightmare that Wanda showed him was driving him crazy. He knew that it was a revelation of the future and driven by that dream. He was determined to make sure that it would never happen!
While Tony was laughing, Dio kept his mouth shut as he knew everything that Tony just said came from his heart! Tony really wanted to retire!

451 The Little Spider that Fled
While dodging the shooter, Peter Parker felt his stomach cramped. He began to wonder whether he ate something bad today, but he couldn't think of anything.
He started to think that it may be a glass of milk that he drank this morning might, but then again, he didn't think anything was off from that.
Could it be the burritos that he ate earlier was unhygienic? He probably should ask the kind middle-aged guy later.
"Hey! Can we call a truce for today? My stomach hurts! Maybe I ate something bad earlier. Is there any bathroom nearby?"
The shooter was confused by the strange guy's request as they didn't understand anything that the guy has said.
They began to think the little spider was just messing around with them, hence became even more furious than before!
"Finish him off! We can leave the suitcase here, but this guy has to die!"
The drug dealer's boss was furious, he fired his gun fiercely, but the little spider dodged all of them!
"I am Spider-Man! I can't deal with you guys right now! I need to find a bathroom!" Peter said while holding his belly. If he couldn't find any toilet, he might shit his pants!
The little spider wanted to cry as he tried to hold on his bowel from making a mess. He should know not to trust free food like that! It could've already expired for all he knew!
Right when he was torn to choose between escaping this place to find a nearby toilet or to capture this drug dealer, an explosion was heard!
The little spider could not help but poke his head out to quietly survey the situation, and then suddenly widened his eyes!
"It's Mr. Tony Stark, the Iron Man!"
He immediately saw the bad guy that he struggled with because of his current predicament was easily taken care of by the Iron-Man's firepower!
Due to the absolute defence that the Iron-Man suit provided, Tony didn't need to dodge the barrage of bullets that the enemy fired.
It didn't take a minute for Iron-Man to finish the fight!
"That one over there! Put down your weapon and come out."
Seeing that he already dealt with the drug dealer, Tony then started acting to surprise the little spider.
"I don't have a weapon! I mean, I'm not with them!"
The little spider forgot about his foreboding problem for a while as he saw his model superhero.
He stepped out from his hiding spot and raised his hands, so the Iron-Man didn't mistook him as one of the drug dealer.
"I know you! You are that Spider-Boy who recently fought crime in Queens, New York, right?"
Tony's words almost made Peter faint from excitement.
"You know me? I mean, I never thought a big shot like you would pay attention to a nobody like me!"
"A good deed would always be noticed. Even if I am busy, that doesn't mean I didn't have the time to hear the news." Tony said as he followed his pre-memorized speech.
He then walked out of his Iron Armour to meet Peter face to face, but suddenly he struggled with holding back his laughter.
Pfft...
"Sorry! Mr. Stark! I have to go find a convenience first, can you please wait for me here for a while? Just for a moment... I swear I will be quick!"
Peter was starting to accidentally leak gas!
He couldn't hold it in anymore! Peter immediately swung out of the factory in search of a convenient store.
He kept swinging as fast as he could as he didn't want to miss the opportunity to meet with his idol!
Tony nodded his head while maintaining a straight face and immediately returned to his armour for filtered fresh air.
"Hahahaha! I just recorded that scene! it was perfect!"
Dio said from the communication device as his laughter was barely contained. That scene just now was really too comical!
But for Tony, the scene may be hilarious, but he failed his plan to surprise the young hero! He immediately contacted Happy for confirmation.
"Happy! What drug did you use for the spider boy just now?"
"Uh, I used laxative on him. Didn't you instruct me to make that little spider unable to exert his strength before you made your shocking entrance? It was exactly as you requested."
"A little?"
"... Well, it might be a small bottle. It was my mistake! My hand shook when I pour it on."
"Damn you, Happy!"
After hanging up the call in anger, Tony felt like he was going to die of anger!
No wonder the spider boy's fart was so powerful just now. Anyone who ate that many laxatives should be kneeling on the toilet right now!
If it were not for the mutation in the little spider's body, Tony knew that he had to send the Spider-Boy to the hospital right now.
While staying in the Quinjet eating ice cream, Dio, who was watching the drama, laughed with tears coming out of his eyes.
Happy, you were a fucking genius!
After a while, Tony, who was waiting for the spider boy to come back, began to doubt this little prank he used on the little spider now.
At the same time, Peter was having the worst time in his life! He promised himself to never used jumpsuit again in his life!
"Mr. Stark, you actually stay and wait for me! I am your biggest fan! Can I have your autograph?"
The first words of the little spider back nearly surprised Tony to death.
Tony didn't know whether he had to walk out of his suit or not, but then again the fart earlier was the worst thing he ever smelled!
So, Tony chose to stay inside his armour, "An autograph? Of course, no problem!"
"Great! Uh... I left my bag somewhere! Mr. Stark, did you bring any pen and paper?"
The little spider looked at Tony awkwardly. Tony sighed and reminded himself that the little spider was still a kid!
"That is unfortunate; I didn't have that on me. Well, next time you see me, I can give you an autograph!"
"Thanks, Mr. Stark, you're really a nice guy."
"You're welcome. So, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure, it would be my pleasure."
"Uh, can I ask you where did you, you know, doing your business just now?"
"It's rather urgent, and I didn't find any convenient store in the vicinity, so I have to deal with it in the bushes on an abandoned park," Peter said shyly.
"And how did you..." Tony asked while stretching out a hand and rubbing it on his ass...
"Oops, I suddenly remembered that there is a group of bad guys waiting for me to deal with. I have to go now, Mr. Stark. It's really nice to see you today!" Peter said while quickly getting away from Tony..

452 Practical Exercise
Because of the unforeseen event, Tony's appearance in front of the little spider turned out to be a farce!
Fortunately, the whole thing was recorded by Dio, and he even copied the video to the USB that he carried around so that Tony couldn't destroy the evidence later!
Therefore, for the next few days, Dio had this elusive smile on his face and occasionally laughed out loud alone.
On the contrary, Tony, who usually had a poisonous tongue, became somewhat silent recently. Every time Dio laughed, he frowned and said nothing at all!
Dio even considered telling the rest of the Avenger about Tony's embarrassing encounter as something that funny was better the more people knew about it.
At the same time, Steve and Natasha, who had disappeared for several days, came back.
"Are you guys back from your honeymoon?"
"Yes, but unfortunately, the honey badger runs away!"
Steve and Natasha slumped down on the sofa as soon as they returned. Apparently, their mission didn't go very well.
"I guess we drew too much attention that HYDRA took several precautions," Dio said indifferently.
In the last Ant-Man incident, he left one HYDRA agent alive as SHIELD told him that they wanted to use the HYDRA agent as bait to track the HYDRA's base.
While Baron Strucker had been killed and the biggest HYDRA base in Sokovia was also blown into smithereens by Dio's cannon. It didn't mean that HYDRA was gone for good!
Like its namesake, the HYDRA would grow his head again as long as it still had a body!
The SHIELD got wind that the HYDRA wanted to buy the Yellowjacket Tech and thus Dio infiltrated the Pym industries.
Steve and Natasha were tasked to clean after the HYDRA base that the agent that Dio left alive was returning to. But as soon as they got there, the HYDRA already emptied the place!
"I always feel that these little rats hiding in the sewers are still secretly conspiring to do something." Steve frowned.
Everyone nodded as they knew that it wasn't HYDRA if they didn't cause trouble!
Because of that, nobody took it seriously, at least not until a month later!"Hey guys, after training for so long, it's time to test it out in a real mission!"
A heavily armed Steve and Natasha walked right in.
The new Avenger members, who were still sparring when Steve and Natasha walked in, looked at them confusedly.
A few minutes later
"We have finally identified the HYDRA's target this time! Now, we have to stop them before they carry out their plan!"
"Do you need my help?"
Dio asked casually while eating an apple.
"Don't you have faith in all of us?"
Dio thought about it, and sure, Wanda and the others have trained for quite a while. Both their Individual awareness and team awareness have grown to a considerable level.
Even Sam and Rhodey, who couldn't do anything without their equipment, got an upgrade from Tony. So, it really was the time to test it out on the field!
"Good, it looks like I can take a few days off alone."
"Not that fast! You're still coming with us! If anything bad happens, we will leave it to you."
"And why would I agree to that?"
"Why not? Don't you want to see their fruit of training yourself after training them for such a long time?"
Dio frowned as Natasha's words were true! He sighed and followed them for their little public outing.Lagos, the old capital of Nigeria
"Captain, you didn't say beforehand that the location of this mission was in Africa."
Dio, who was sitting in an open-air cafe on the street, barely sipped his coffee. He was in constant lookout for any Wakandan as it would be bothersome if they ever noticed his presence here.
"Well then, now you know!"
Steve, who was hiding in an apartment complex, casually replied while observing their surroundings for any suspicious activity.
"Pfft~."
Natasha, who disguised herself as a tourist, couldn't help but laugh at Dio's annoyance and Steve's lack of enthusiasm.
Dio sighed and kept stirring his coffee in boredom. Not long after that, Wanda sat in front of Dio while bringing a cup of milk. She was Dio's partner this time, and they both disguised themselves as a couple.
After spending so much time together, Wanda knew that Dio hated coffee and therefore she took Dio's coffee cup and gave Dio her milk instead.
"Thanks, it's a good thing you're here." Dio picked up the cup of milk and took a sip.
"Can you two please be more professional? It would be wiser to save your lovey-dovey back on the base, no?" Sam said as he was on the lookout on the roof of the tallest building.
Suddenly, Steve felt something was off and immediately ordered Sam. "Sam, see that garbage truck? Follow it!"
"Copy that!"
Sam's updated equipment also added a drone that looked like a bird that he could control from afar. The drone followed the truck that drove a little bit too fast in a narrow street.
"Redwing, do an X-Ray on that truck!" Sam ordered the drone. Thanks to the drone's X-Ray ability, Sam could see everything inside the truck! "It is a little bit odd! The truck has reached its maximum capacity, and the driver is also heavily armed!" Sam said confusedly.
"It's a ramming car!" Natasha immediately shouted as he heard Sam's report. The rest was surprised and immediately took off from their spot.
"No good. The enemy's target is not the police station! We have to go now!" Steve said solemnly. But it was all too late! The truck has reached the Infectious Disease Institute and crashed it against the building's security measure.
In addition, two other vehicles quickly drove towards the truck, and ten heavily armed mercenaries started shooting the building's security guard.
The mercenaries quickly busted inside the building, while Steve and the others barely just arrived.
Steve and Natasha quickly took down several mercenaries that waited outside while Sam and Rhodey provided support from the air.
"Wanda, just like in training."
Steve said as he pointed his finger to the third floor. Wanda quickly used her ability and threw Steve to the third floor while Natasha and Pietro used the building's front door.
Everyone was busy doing their own stuff, while Dio sat alone outside with his unfinished cup of milk.
This mission could be said to be an actual combat exercise, except for Tony, who chose not to come, Vision, and Mantis who were not suitable for this kind of mission.
Dio's main task this time was just to keep an eye on everyone and keep the mistake to a bare minimum.
So far, he liked his task!

453 Save the People!
After seeing Wanda's decent control of her own power, Dio immediately took out a small book and began to write on it while finishing his milk.
"Wanda's versatile abilities were perfect for this mission!"
"On the other hand, Pietro only runs around blindly! He wasted his own energy, and he also didn't have any team awareness! I will increase his daily training once we get back!"
"Rhodey, the living drone."
"Sam, a little bit too salty about every little trivial stuff."
"Natasha has a great figure as always, uh, her clothes are of great material, but it's too tight! Clearly used for the use of her charm!"
"As for Steve, how did he lose his shield for the second time today?"Just as Dio was sullenly writing, he noticed that a few mercenaries were preparing to use the ropes on the side of the building to escape.
At the same time, Steve's voice was immediately heard on the communicator, "They stole the bio-weapon; stop them!"
Well, they have to be fast! The mercenaries were getting away!
Seeing that the mercenaries were about to escape using their armoured car, Dio calculated the distance and immediately used [Killer Queen] to blow the armoured car up into the sky!
Several mercenaries were caught up in the explosion and died.
Dio didn't really do anything. After all, he wasn't keen on doing this mission!
He knew what would happen in this mission, so he was determined to stay out of the aftermath!
But nevertheless, Dio felt somehow responsible not to let any of these mercenaries escape with biochemical weapons!
If the Biochemical Weapon weren't set off by the explosion, he wouldn't calculate the distance between the mercenary who held the biochemical weapon and him and just blew them all up when the mercenaries were inside the armoured car!
But he was impressed by the [Killer Queen]'s power. It was an automatic long-range type that could turn anything that the user has touched into a bomb!
The bomb itself was controllable and could be moved to a certain distance!
[Killer Queen] had another power to make a certain bomb that tracked the target's heat source and would immediately explode once the target was in the range of the explosion. This bomb would almost be impossible to destroy. The ability's name was 'Sheer Heart Attack'!
Destructive power: A
Speed: C
Range: A
Sustain: A
Precision: E
Growth: A
The art of evaluation was an explosion!Even after their escape means was destroyed, the mercenaries still didn't give up! Instead, they frantically attacked Sam and the others who came after them!
However, before the powerful avengers, their resistance seemed so meaningless!
"Don't come near me! I will drop it here, don't you think I was bluffing!" the mercenary that held the bioweapon on his hands shouted threateningly.
He saw his companions were being taken care of pretty easily, so he had to do something to get the upper hand from the Avenger.
Steve, who could not take such a risk, immediately raised his hand as a sign that he wouldn't attack, stopping the rest of the Avenger from attacking too.
"There is no need to endanger everyone here, just give me the tube, and I will let you leave safely!" Steve negotiated with a deep, powerful voice.
"No! There is no way in hell I would believe anything that comes out of your mouth!" the mercenary said with disdain.
"Then, you should also know that you wouldn't be able to escape from this place!" Steve said while tapping his communicator twice as a signal for Pietro who was hiding in the shadows, to make his move.
"Since I won't be able to escape this place, might as well drag everyone down with me!" The mercenary said as a crazed look was clear in his eyes.
But unfortunately for him, a silver silhouette swished past him and snatched the bioweapon away from his hand.
"It was obvious that we wouldn't let you have that chance!"
Quicksilver said smugly as he returned the bioweapon to Steve.
"Well done!" Steve said appreciatively. However, Steve was a little surprised to see that the mercenaries didn't seem to be shaken at all.
"This is not good! He was stalling, hurry and find anything that seems potentially threatening around here!" Steve said as he knew that he had missed something.
Everyone except for Steve, Natasha, and Wanda immediately searched for anything that could provide a way of escape for the mercenaries.
"What is your real goal?"
"Chaos, war, and death; that's our goal. Steve Rogers, I can feel it, you're scared!" The mercenary said with a satisfied expression.
Seeing the man in front of him showed no fear of dying at all, Steve was convinced that the man was a member of HYDRA!
"Damn you!"
Steve felt his heart beating faster as if something bad was about to happen, so he punched the mercenary hard on his face, hoping that would make the mercenary spill his plan somehow!
"Oh, it's already too late! I'll be waiting for you in hell!"
After saying that, the mercenary bit something in his mouth and immediately spitted out blood and died!
A loud boom immediately followed, and a violent fire engulfed downtown. Like a chain reaction, another explosion was heard one after another.
"It's the embassies! This group of lunatics has bombed the embassies!" Natasha shouted through the Chaos to Steve as she heard the report from Sam.
Who would have thought that the HYDRA's target this time was so twisted that Avengers completely failed to notice it!
All along, HYDRA has targeted the embassies but, none of the Avengers really noticed anything!
No, HYDRA has targeted everything, and thus, they had a solid plan for their cause to create Chaos!
Steve immediately realised that another pressure from the public would be directed on the Avenger this time.
"Everyone, find the bomb that might not explode just yet! Rescue everyone that was affected by the bomb's impact just now!" Steve said while gritting his teeth from annoyance.
He knew that the government would find an excuse to mess with the Avenger again, and this time, they might succeed!
But nonetheless, it wasn't something that he had to worry about now.. As long as he could save another innocent life from this terrorist attack, it would prove to himself that he already did his best!

454 For Whom
"Look, it's Captain America! We're saved!"
"Thank God!"
"Save my child, my child."
"Why did the Avengers show up here? Could those explosions be related to them?"When Steve and others showed up in the centre of the crowded city, some people saw them as saviours while others looked at them coldly and saw them as the demons who brought upon the disaster.
Some people did think that the bombing happened because the Avenger was there!
Steve ignored the sarcastic words from several civilians and did all he could to save people that were trapped inside the ruins of the buildings.
Although he knew that several people didn't see him pleasantly, he was still doing his best to save them!
At the same time, Even Dio decided to do something and used his two ice type Stands to put out the fire. Only after the police and the fire department arrived that the pressure on the Avenger was relieved.
However, Wanda noticed a small duffle bag placed on the market. It was a suspicious-looking bag since no one was claiming it!
Wanda thought fast and immediately used her power to take out the content of the bag.
"Bomb! Everyone, stand back!" Wanda shouted and gritted his teeth to throw the bomb into the sky!
She knew that the bomb would kill so many people if left alone, but she didn't know where else to throw it as the place was in chaos!
But her quick thinking proved not quick enough!
As Wanda threw the bomb into the sky, her power was unstable and the bomb exploded brightly several meters above the ground.
The bomb shattered all glasses and burned several floors in the building next to the market. Wanda could faintly hear the screams and wails from the people inside the building.
"There are some people who didn't manage to evacuate in time in that building!" Natasha shouted desperately.
Wanda froze for a moment, somewhat at a loss for words. Regret, disbelief, self-blame, and countless chaos of emotions suddenly overwhelmed her—however, a strong arm wrapped around her in time.
"Hey, listen! It wasn't your fault, you know? You saved everyone here." Dio said as he held Wanda's shoulder.
Dio also searched for this specific bomb, but he too was too late as the bomb already exploded by the time he arrived here.
Looking at Dio's serious and earnest face, Wanda found her courage once more.
"Someone inside needs rescue. Let's do it quickly!"
Dio said as he immediately rushed in with Wanda. With them on the case, they successfully led everyone to safety and rescued all the survivors.
Yet, some people still died in the first wave of explosions, which was hard to bear but irreparable.
It may be hard to say that saving more people's lives at the expense of fewer people's lives was the right thing to do, as there would always be Someone to argue about it.
But in panic and chaos like this, it was surely the best thing to do! If she let the bomb exploded, hundreds of people would be dead!At the same time as the terrorist attack, Tony was holding his new expo at M.I.T. It was a technology that could force Someone's brain to get through a certain traumatic event in their lives.
It was a very costly medical treatment method that already took $610 million from Tony!
Obviously, no one in their right mind would sponsor such an experiment, but money has never been a problem for Tony.
Thus he developed it himself from start to finish, but of course, he intended to use it for himself first!
However, when he actually used it, he didn't choose to remove the traumatic memory from his mind as it was the only profound memory that he had of his parent!
"From now on. All students will have equal access to the September Foundation that Stark Industries has just started, and all of your research projects have been approved and funded! No strings attached! No taxes to pay! Feel free to change the future!"
"Wooho!"
"I love you, Tony!"
At this point, Tony got a text and immediately let Pepper took over the expo. But still, Tony was distracted since he officially broke up with Pepper a few days ago.
To win back Pepper's heart, he had to destroy all of his Iron Man suits, but seeing the Earth was full of new crises, he couldn't do it!
He knew deep down that Earth was far from peace, and the scene on his dreams kept playing in his head, mocking him as if it would definitely come true in the future!
He could not retire yet!
So when Pepper asked him again that day about whether he would do what she asked him to do, Tony couldn't say anything!
Pepper took the silence as the answer that Tony still couldn't get rid of the Iron Man suit, and thus she moved out of Tony's villa and stayed at her apartment once again.
She also tried to resign from the CEO position as her way to say goodbye to Tony, but she couldn't do it as she knew that Tony didn't have the slightest care about the company!
But one thing for sure was that Pepper was finally fed up with Tony's attitude!
So, today, Tony stood and walked alone. He also didn't tell anyone about this news. After he finished talking at the expo, Tony quietly took the elevator out of the building, but a black woman stopped him from doing so.
"You did a good job for those young people." The black woman suddenly spoke.
"That is one thing that I should've done years ago; it makes my conscience felt better," Tony said disinterestedly. It was clear that something was bothering Tony.
"They say generosity is often associated with guilt. But as long as there's money, it doesn't matter if you make a little mistake, right?"
Tony's mood instantly changed for the worse, "What do you mean?"
"His name is Charlie Spencer! He is my son, and you are the one who got him killed in Sokovia! Of course, that means nothing to you! Do you think that you are fighting for us? You are just fighting for yourself! You are just a selfish, self-entitled bastard!" the black woman said as she slapped Tony with several pictures of her son..

455 Sokovia Accords
"Is there anyone who can avenge my son Mr. Stark? Can you avenge yourself? It's your fault he's dead! Do you think money can set things right? You have committed sins that you can't atone no matter what you do!""Ha!"
Tony jolted awake as the black woman's words kept echoing in his head. Each word was like a sharp blade that constantly stabbed his heart, keeping him awake every night.
When he closed his eyes to sleep, the victims from Sokovia and all other incidents throughout his Iron Man career were staring at him with a dead eye.
He placed the picture of the black woman's son inside his cabinet as a reminder of his mistake and his inability to save everyone!
Tony always thought that his Iron Man armour was the best weapon on earth, but then again, he was proven wrong countless times!
Because of that, he started to doubt himself, doubted his own goal that kept him moving from the time he was imprisoned inside that cave!
At this very moment, Tony had never been so confused in his entire life!In the early morning, inside the Avenger base.
A week had passed since the terrorist attack in Lagos, Nigeria. However, the media still bombarded the news on TV about the incident.
The most eye-catching title of the news was 'The Avenger brought a Terrorist Attack to a crowded downtown.' And thus, the public went rampant on so many negative speculations about the Avenger as a whole!
"During the Avengers' confrontation with a group of mercenaries, which resulted in thousands of casualties, 11 of the innocent civilians who died were Wakandans. When the explosion occurred, these Wakandans were holding a meeting inside a building that was destroyed by one of the Avengers."
"Our people's death was tragic as it wasn't caused by the terrorist themselves, but by those who claimed to stop the act of terrorism itself! A victory that was achieved by sacrificing the lives of the innocent was not a victory at all!"
"What legal right does a super-powered person like Wanda Maximoff has to carry out such an action in Nigeria?"
The Media kept on replaying the recording of Wanda throwing the bomb in the market high to the air. At the same time, Dio walked in and turned the TV off.
"This is my fault!" Wanda said as she looked at her hands.
"I already told you before, and I will say it again, this is not your fault! Your action saved a lot of innocent lives in that market, and even if someone else was there instead of you, there was no guarantee that they could handle the situation better than you do!" Dio said as he sat down and hugged Wanda from the side.
"No, had I noticed that bomb a second earlier, there wouldn't be such a tragedy!" Wanda said with a complicated expression on her face.
"Don't beat yourself too much. You have to know that we wouldn't be able to save everyone just like we wouldn't be able to make everyone happy! On this earth, people are dying every minute, let alone the entire universe! If you can't accept this fact, you may no longer be able to save anyone in the future!"
"How many planets in the universe have you been to? Can you tell me about them?" Wanda asked as she changed the topic of their conversation.
"A lot, the universe is vast and beautiful, more than what you can imagine. I have an idea, what do you say if we go on an adventure ourselves? You can visit as many planets as you want." Dio asked contemplatingly.
Wanda was just about to nod when Pietro came running in a flash.
"What are you doing?"
"Just chatting."
Pietro got a confused look on his face as he saw Dio holding Wanda close to him. He finally realized what happened here, but he decided not to make a fuss about it after seeing the two distanced themselves.
"Stark and the Secretary of State is here! The Captain asked all of us to come to the meeting room."
Dio sighed as the time of dread finally came. The Secretary of State is here! It was clear that he planned to control the Avenger under the U.S.A banner after the incident. On top of that, Tony was the one who brought him!With the exception of Bruce Banner and Thor, whose whereabouts were still unknown, the remaining Avenger and Dio gathered in the meeting room.
"The world owes so much from the Avenger. You fought hard for us and risked your lives to protect the innocent. However, not everyone was on board. Some people even use the term Vigilante to describe your group!"
Dio yawned as he was bored of listening to the Secretary of State's remarks.
As far as he knew, all politicians were the same. They would say something to soften the blow before they would finally say their real intention!
Dio looked around and saw that Natasha had the same expression on her face.
"So, what word did you personally use to describe us?" Natasha asked tauntingly.
"Dangerous, that would be the word I would use. A group of superhuman who stays in the United States, Ignoring sovereign borders and imposing their will on another country, disregarding protocol and consequences! With that in mind, what word would you use?" The Secretary of State said challengingly.
He started to read aloud and name each place that the Avenger was deeply involved in that also took a considerable amount of lives with the respective video of each scene!
Wanda's eyes went wide as she saw the rubbles and dead bodies from the collapsed building in Nigeria.
"That's enough. What are you trying to say?" Steve frowned and directly interrupted the Secretary of State from going any further.
He had already thought about this situation for a long time due to his talk with Dio a few months back. Steve couldn't help but wonder if the day he dreaded has finally come!
"For the past few years, the Avengers has been operating without any restrain, and the World Government could no longer tolerate this situation!"
"After a meeting, combining the effort of almost all countries on earth, we came to a solution that we called Sokovia Accords!" The Secretary said as he placed a thick document on the table.
"This Accord is already approved by hundreds of countries, and it stated that the Avenger would no longer be a private organization and would operate under the supervision of United Nations instead! You would only be dispatched as soon as the United Nations deemed it necessary!"
"The Avengers was formed to make the world a safer place, and I think we did that," Steve said as he once again interrupted the Secretary of State.
"Captain, remind me once more, where did Thor and Banner go? Aren't both of them stronger than a nuclear bomb? Did you know the consequences of letting those two loose? Now, in three days, the UN would hold a meeting in Vienna to ratify this accord."
"But, What if we don't want to participate with this agreement?" Natasha said as a frown was clear on her face.
"Then you will become a criminal."
The Secretary of State said the sentence without showing any emotion at all and immediately left afterward.
At the same time, the Avengers were left speechless as they started to ponder what they just heard.
The weight of the future to come was pressing down on everyone's mind..

456 The Beginning of Internal Division
"So, any words?" Steve said as he wanted to know what everyone was thinking.
"I disagree with them! If we sign that accords, the government will put us under surveillance all the time! That would be no different than a caged animal!" Sam said with a frown on his face.
"But, 117 countries are ready to ratify this accord. We can't just act like we don't care, Sam!" Rhodey said as he read through the document that the Secretary left behind.
"I have a calculation that you might use to make your decision about this problem." Vision said as he came through the wall, "Since Mr. Stark made his identity as the Iron Man publics, the number of superhumans who appeared on a public view increased! At the same time, major events with the potential to cause world destruction rise at the same proportion.
"So you're trying to say that it's actually our fault?" Steve asked with a frown on his face.
"I'm saying that there may be a causal link. Our ability attracted challenges that bred into disasters. So, I don't think we should totally oppose and resist this new regulation."
"Yes, that's right!" Rhodey said with a smile on his face.
At this point, Steve turned his attention to Dio and Tony, who were still silent the entire time. He knew that he couldn't make a decision on his own.
"Dio, tell us what you think."
"Me? I am here to have fun! So far, I am not part of the Avengers! So, I think it wouldn't matter what I think."
"Come on, you and I both know that it would be impossible for the UN to let someone with your power wander around without surveillance!" Steve said matter of factly.
"You are right. I already saw this one coming." Dio smiled sarcastically, "Not only did they want to monitor my personal freedom, but they were also prepared to take everything away from me, including my spaceship, my alien henchmen, and the alien technology that I have in my hands. Those shameless act of claiming everything they don't deserve was idiotic. Never in my right mind would I sign this document!" Dio said as he flipped the document and showed everyone the accord point about him.
The others came around to check out the content.
Sure enough, it clearly expressed all that Dio has said. Furthermore, they used all kinds of grandiose reasons and the word 'For the sake of peace and safety of the Earth' countless times as if Dio was an active criminal!
At this point, even Vision and Colonel Rhodey, who had just clearly expressed their support for signing this accord, were speechless!
"You have the power of wiping a city with a single shot! For god's sake, who wouldn't be afraid of that kind of power!" Tony said all of a sudden as everyone remained silent.
He suddenly stood up and walked toward the coffee machine on the corner.
"Tony, I know you have already made a decision, but don't you dare undermine my property! I will not hold myself from dismantling all of your armours into scraps metal!" Dio said with a frown on his face, he didn't know what irritated Tony, but it wasn't Dio's problem!
"Yeah, I admit that you are way stronger than me! However, I still have to say that we all have to sign this accord because we need this kind of restrain!" Tony said solemnly.
"From what I know about you, if you are enraged, you lose all reason and self-restraint! Maybe you wouldn't care at all if you destroyed all countries in this world!"
"That's enough! Tony! Are you hearing yourself right now? What is wrong with you!" Steve shouted angrily as he stopped Tony from talking further.
"It's okay, he's right! I do not care about them as I will destroy anyone that becomes my enemy! My principle is as easy as that! So you better told those people in the UN to start thinking carefully about what they wanted from me! Or there will be 'consequences'!" Dio laughed and left the room.
He knew that the Civil War plotline was in line this time. The Avengers would be split into two sides, further weakened the Earth from Thanos' invasion!
In the beginning, Tony chose to fight the congress as he didn't want to hand over his armours.
While he might succeed in keeping his armour, he still compromised and handed over the War Machine to Rhodey, who was a colonel of the US Army at that time!
Today, since he couldn't persuade Dio to hand over the powerful technology in his possession, he was ready to take the hard path!
He wanted to take responsibility for his mistakes, and there was nothing wrong with that!
However, he shouldn't try to force others to accept his ideas as well. No one else should have to pay for his mistakes, as it wasn't fair for anyone else!
So, when Dio left, Tony told everyone about the young black man who died on Sokovia because of him!
"We have absolutely no decision-making process. We have to take responsibility, in whatever form we can, and we'll be lawless if we don't accept this accord!" Tony said solemnly.
"Tony, look, I also blamed myself for being weak and not being able to save everyone! When Dio warned you back then, you chose to keep going yourself! You chose to ignore everyone else, and now, you have the audacity to stand here and say that we lack a decision-making process? Don't you think that you are being unreasonable right now?"
Steve said with a tight frown.
"Yes, that's right! I admit that I was wrong! Because of that mistake, I hoped that no one else would make the same mistake as I do in the future! We need to sign this accord for that to happen!" Tony said as he started to shout now.
"When I realized the unthinkable consequences of my weapons falling to the wrong hands, I shut down all of my weapons department and never made any of that again!"
"Tony, you 'chose' to do that! If we signed this accord, we would give up our freedom, our options! What if the government sends us to do something that we shouldn't have? Or stop us from doing what is right? What would be your decision then?" Steve said calmly.
Tony sighed and helplessly said, "The reality now is that we have to sign this now, or we will be forced to sign it later."
Just as the debate of what they should do kept on going, Steve's phone vibrated, and as Steve read the message, he immediately left the room. "I have to go now!" he said with a sad look on his face.
The message read, 'She had passed away peacefully..' At that instant, Steve knew that Peggy has died!

457 I'll Go Wherever You Go
Knock, knock...
"May I come in?"
After the argument broke haphazardly, Wanda came into Dio's room. She saw Dio staring out of the window with a thoughtful expression.
"What happened? Have you guys reached a decision?" Dio asked curiously as he noticed Wanda coming in.
"No, Steve received a message and left in a hurry," Wanda said while embracing Dio.
"What about you? What do you think about all this?" Dio asked curiously.
"I honestly don't know."
Dio could see the confusion in her eyes, so he just smiled gently and hugged her passionately as his way to say that he would support her decision.
As for Wanda herself, she knew Dio would never wipe out a city or destroy the world for just a personal grudge despite how detached Dio was!
"I will follow your decision. If you didn't sign it, I wouldn't either!" Wanda said confidently.
"You don't need to do that. You are your own person and your choices should yours to decide!" Dios said with a frown on his face.
"No, that is my decision. I will follow you wherever you go." Wanda said solemnly.
Her feeling wasn't tied to the Avenger. Although she appreciated the Avenger's genuine goal, she was determined to follow Dio from the start.
As for Dio himself, he felt warm and fuzzy that he never felt before from Wanda's word.
"Great, then we will leave Earth! Remember when I told you that we should go on our little space adventure? We can go see various cultures on another planet ourselves!" Dio said with a warm smile on his face.
But before Wanda could say anything, Pietro came in and interrupted their time.
"Pietro! How many times do I have to tell you that it's extremely rude to eavesdrop on people!" Wanda stared coldly at Pietro.
"Oh, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that when I knock on the door, my sister, who was born 12 minutes later than me, is about to be abducted by a creep! Now, shouldn't you guys gave me an explanation about all this?" Pietro said with a frown on his face.
"What explanation do you want? I am having a relationship with Dio, and that is the end of it!" Wanda said annoyedly.
She didn't hide it from Pietro anymore as she knew that it was useless.
"Did you think I am a fool? I already know that you two spend your time joined at the hips almost on every opportunity! I am not that oblivious!" Pietro shouted irritatedly.
He never told Wanda that he knew because he wanted her to tell him herself.
"I mean, if I don't find out about this little getaway of yours, what then? Would you leave me behind to deal with this shitty situation without anyone I can trust?" Pietro said with a disappointed expression.
"Of course not! You are Wanda's twin brother. Even if I want to take Wanda away, I will always include you in!" Dio said confidently.
But Pietro just looked at Dio inquisitively as he didn't have the power to distinguish the truth as Wanda did.
However, seeing Dio's expression, he could somewhat believe that his words were the truth!
"Good to know! But I will make it clear now, Wanda is my only family right now, and I don't know what you did to her to make her fall for you, but I will willingly trust and follow you as she does as long as you treat her right! At least until she got married! But if I knew that you hurt her, even in the slightest, I swear to god, I will kill you myself!" Pietro said solemnly.
After saying all that, Pietro smiled and took out his phone for some game while Wanda and Dio blankly looked at him with a blank expression.
Did Pietro's word move them in any way? It definitely did!
Wanda finally noticed that her brother also knew that they will eventually have their own family in the future and would not be able to stay together like now.
But then again, Wanda started to wonder how Pietro will keep his word if Dio did hurt her while Pietro has no chance of winning a fight against Dio.
But she knew that her brother said it out of goodwill and that was all she needed!
"Remember to call me when you're ready to go," Pietro said coolly while moving out of the room.
Dio and Wanda immediately looked at each other. "Did he hit his head when he was a kid?" Dio asked Wanda sarcastically.
"Well, he may be. It is not my job to take care of him back then." Wanda said with a smirk on her face.
"No wonder... But did he really just gave us his consent?" Dio asked awkwardly.
"I guess so... Pietro believes that I will marry you, so why did he still hate you like that?" Wanda wondered herself.
"It's probably his ego, you know, for never winning against me," Dio said as he laughed warmly. He didn't really understand what just happened, but he seriously didn't want to find out.Dio no longer hesitated, he would take Wanda, Pietro, and Mantis from the Avenger with him, and that also included the Dark Battleship that now was in SHIELD's care. Although he knew that his action could be said uncooperative, he didn't have the slightest care.
So, without any delay, Dio contacted the Dark Elves and ordered them to evacuate from SHIELD's base immediately. He permitted them to use non-fatal measures if anyone got in their way.
The Dark Elves acted quickly and efficiently. They arrived at Dio's location in an hour. However, Nick Fury immediately called, like Dio expected him to be.
"Are you leaving earth?" Nick Fury asked curiously.
Dio was a little surprised that Nick didn't nag him, but he could clearly notice that Nick's voice was full of exhaustion.
Nick's prediction wasn't wrong. Dio indeed thought of leaving Earth right away, but after remembering the MCU plot, he knew that Thanos's arrival was just around the corner.
"That depends on what action does those UN leaders chose to take. Either they gave up their hands, or force my hands!" Dio said casually..

458 How Many Shoot to Kill the Incoming!
After a sincere conversation with Nick Fury, Dio finally realized how much pressure that Nick Fury was currently under and how determined he was to fight it all. Nick has known the existence of the Sokovia Accord in advance.
Although he has been trying to prevent it from coming into fruition ever since it was still in the drafting process, he couldn't stop the decision that all the country has made.
Even if he could suppress the aftermath of Hulk's rampage as well as Wanda and Pietro's status as the Avenger, he couldn't provide the necessary push to protect the Avenger this time.
He wasn't the director of Avenger, but he was the Director of SHIELD, and therefore, the SHIELD's wellbeing comes first!
As a subgroup of the International Council, SHIELD couldn't go against the order as the SHIELD itself could be disbanded if Nick as the director of SHIELD, went against the order!
So the last thing he could do was to try his best to weed out the unreasonable and excessive conditions in the Sokovia Accords, which led to the Sokovia Accords that Dio and the others saw today.
The original Sokovia Accord was even more demanding and excessive than this one, but then again, the demand directed to Dio was still excessive.
It was clear that the countries that were included in drafting the Accord were tempted by the incredible power that Dio possessed.
Without Nick Fury's intervention, the Avenger would be reduced to a group of civil servants!
Nick was tempted to say that Dio wasn't part of the Avenger at first, but he immediately realised that it would become a greater problem in the future.
The greed that resided within the countries' leaders of the countries began to show their fang as they began to question why such a powerful alien weapon was allowed to be owned by an individual while it would pose a greater purpose on Earth itself.
Some of the countries leaders even called Dio a freak who needed to be controlled!
It was clear that some of these people felt threatened by Dio's power and tried to take it for themselves!
As for the Sokovia Accords, these politicians predicted that Dio would never sign it as they knew that it didn't matter in the end.
As long as some of the Avenger's members signed the Accord, they could just announce that the Avenger has agreed.
They would then order the Avenger to capture those who wouldn't sign the Accord themselves.
They still thought that their Nuclear Weapon was the best weapon in the world!
As long as they still had it, they were confident that anyone would submit to them!
No matter how many it was who agreed to sign the Sokovia Accords, everything would be different!
The countries' leaders knew that the Sokovia Accords would cause the Avenger to be restless, and thus internal conflict couldn't be avoided!
Nick Fury has deducted that far and asked Dio to consider not to leave the planet immediately.
"Since you have deducted what they wanted, why didn't you go tell this to Steve? I am sure he would be able to do something about it." Dio said confusedly.
"Does it matter?"
Dio was startled by Nick's rhetorical question, but after giving it a thought for a moment, Dio knew that it wouldn't matter. Steve wouldn't have the power to reject a 117 countries' decision anyway.
"Then why are you telling this to me?" Dio asked curiously.
"I think you are the only one who can stop all this. At the very least, you have to keep the Avenger together, don't let them fall apart." Nick said solemnly.
"I never knew that you think that highly of me, but I don't think I want to get involved with this mess," Dio said as he shook his head.
"You can't hide it; you already know that they would be trying to claim your possession!
"That doesn't matter! I will just kill anyone who tries to block my path! I am a free man. Even god won't be able to stop me if they pick a fight with me!" Dio said solemnly, making Nick Fury silent.
"It seems that you have decided what you would do. But I do hope you stay here until all of this is resolved! I am a little bit worried that without you here, the Avenger would suffer irreparable damage! The SHIELD wouldn't be able to do much at this point!" Nick said solemnly.
After hearing those words from Nick, it was Dio's turn to stay silent and contemplate the weight of Nick's words.
"Then find me a secret place to land!" Dio said to Nick Fury as a confirmation that he would help.Dio chose to believe Nick's word after some thought, but he knew that he shouldn't trust everything Nick said!
Nonetheless, Dio wanted to stay as he wanted to see everything unfolded before his eyes.
Noticing Dio's intention, Nick Fury immediately sent a location including specific information. The location was almost identical to the SHIELD's base, but it was still under construction, making it a good spot for Dio to land temporarily. The most important thing was that place had some supplies that Dio might need.
After all, that place has become an alien tech junkyard for now. The World Security Council themselves wouldn't think that Dio would use this place, not to mention there was little to no human activity in the area.
Nick never thought that this place would come in handy in this situation!
After taking care of everything, Dio immediately gathered everyone who would go with him earlier.
"Do you plan to go on your honeymoon now? Aren't you worried that I might follow you there?" Natasha said with a smile on her face.
She knew that Dio would be planning his escape, but it seemed that Dio had slight care about them after all.
"Well, I definitely want to take a little trip. Do you want to join us?" Dio asked casually.
"I don't think so; I might still be needed here. Maybe things aren't bad as we thought they would be; maybe we can still turn the situation around." Natasha said hopefully.
"Such a naive word didn't suit you, Natasha."
"Maybe so, I might be infected with Steve's optimism after all," Natasha said as she smiled at Dio.
"Then... See you later."
"Well, have a safe trip. And be careful out there!"
Dio raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Of course! I will always be careful!"

459 You Make the First Move, I'll Make the Fifteenth!
When it came to stealth tech, the Dark Elf was really at the top in the universe!
Even if Nick Fury reported the Dark Elves were gone with the spacecraft, the World Security Council wouldn't be able to do anything about it!
There was nothing in this galaxy that could detect the Dark Battleship! Nevertheless, World Security Council could predict the place that the battleship would be heading.
So, when the Dark Battleship appeared out of its stealth mode in the Avenger Base, dozens of armed helicopters were already prepared.
They were eager to take control of Dio's power!
"Hey, it's okay! You don't have to be nervous. It would be alright." Dio said as he saw Wanda's hand glowed red.
Pietro at the side was clearly annoyed by Dio's attention towards Wanda, but he couldn't say anything as he knew that Dio was Wanda's boyfriend.
Dio immediately let Pietro, Wanda, and Mantis aboard before he went in. Once he was inside the ship, the helicopters immediately fired a rocket towards the Dark Battleship without any warning.
Dio smirked as he immediately understood that the government didn't care whether anyone on the Dark Battleship died or not.
It also showed that the government was afraid of the Dark Battleship's power!
It seems that the world government was okay with not having the Dark Battleship intact as they didn't seem to hesitate in wrecking it.
But it seemed that the World Government itself failed to see that the owner of this spacecraft was Dio, the man with little to no information about himself on the SHIELD's record.
After the rocket bombardment, the soldiers inside the helicopters were all shocked to see that the Dark Battleship didn't even have a slight scratch on it!
Dio smirked as he saw the Energy Barrier that he spent a lot of money to buy at the Nova Empire was working just fine.
If it were not working like intended, Dio would file a complaint to Nova Empire right away!
"Sir, do you want to return fire?"
If it was Steve or the other member of the Avenger, they might hesitate. However, Dio was different!
All he saw was people who pointed their guns at him, and he sure didn't like it!
"Return fire, destroy them all," Dio ordered indifferently.
Those who wanted to kill must be prepared themselves for retaliation, for they just started a war.
"Yes, sir! Right away."
With Dio's order, the Dark Elves immediately got busy, they began to activate various switches, and the top of the Dark Battleship opened up, revealing countless small holes.
Then in the next second, hundreds of orange laser rays streaked across the sky!
Thirty armed helicopters were split into pieces without even a chance to react and then burst into a cloud of fire!
"Sir, hundreds of jets are detected heading towards us from the southeast, ETA 43 seconds!"
Dio sighed as the battle didn't seem to be anywhere near ending. It seemed that the laser earlier didn't deter the World Government from continuing their attack. Did they really think that they could win against Dio in terms of firepower?
"Take off immediately and charge the Annihilation Cannon for now. We will wait for them here and gave them a big surprise." Dio said with a smirk on his face.
"Yes, sir."
From a cannon at the top of the Dark Battleship, a red light was visibly getting darker, giving off the dangerous vibe to it.
At the same time, Natasha and the others, who were still in the Avengers base, were already outside due to the commotion they heard.
They soon saw the situation and felt like they wanted to puke!
Even Rhodey, who supported the Sokovia Accord, felt sick of what the government was trying to do!
None of them expected that the World Government would do something reckless and inhuman like this!
"What is he doing? Why didn't he leave yet?"
Natasha knew that all those soldiers wouldn't worth anything to stop Dio, but what she didn't understand was why he was still here when there was nothing left to stop him from going.
But when she saw the red glow rapidly condensing from the top of the Dark Battleship, she immediately paled!
"It's over..."
At the same time, inside the Dark Battleship.
"The target has entered the shooting range."
"Fire the Cannon!"
As everyone watched, hundreds of fighter jets were rushing in the sky towards the Dark Battleship.
Suddenly, the cannon that was charging the red light immediately discharged a ball of light towards the fighter jets at an unbelievable speed!
With a blinding light and a deafening blast, like a repeat of Sokovia, the entire Fighter Jet units on the sky were annihilated!
Not even a speck of dust was seen after the light dissipated from the sky!

460 Choose Between Prison and House Arrest
After seeing the feed from the soldier, the Secretary of State immediately slammed the table.
All the representatives from other countries, including the World Security Council, turned paled after witnessing Dio's power.
They were furious, but they knew that there was nothing that they can do about it.
"How dare he does that!?"
They continued watching and saw that the spacecraft slowly ascended into the sky and vanished out of thin air.
The Secretary of State regretted attacking Dio, but there was nothing he could do about it now!
But the thought of something that powerful falling into some other countries worried him the most!
Nick Fury's warning about Dio kept playing on his head now, "I warn you to stay away from that guy! Not everyone on Avenger has a heroic personality like Captain America! And that guy is definitely the worst! Your action right now would just annoy him at most!"
Nick had told him that his action would have no effect, and seeing the feed right now, he understood why.
But then again, it was already too late, and therefore, he has to push onward!
It was the time that Dio became the most wanted man on Earth! Obviously, the World Leaders had no problem since the one that lost so much money right now was the USA!
It was no doubt at all that every country in the world wanted to seize Dio's power and equipment for themselves. Especially the Dark Battleship!
Even though not all countries could take Dio on, at least they would be able to get something out of it from the winning country later!
Moreover, their action was justified in the pretense of justice!Two days later, at Peggy Carter's funeral.
Steve was the only one who remained on the grave as everyone else has finally left. Natasha then came and sat beside Steve. She was dressed formally in a dress and high heels.
"When I woke up after being frozen for 60 years, I thought that she has already left this world, but when I know that she was still alive, I just felt so lucky!"
"I think she was happy too when she found out that you are still alive!"
After a deep sigh, Steve looked at Natasha, and a look of determination returned in his eyes.
"How many people have signed up?" Steve asked curiously.
"Tony, Rhodey, Sam, and Vision," Natasha said as he took a deep breath.
"So, where are the others?" Steve asked confusedly.
"That is why I come to you now. Dio, Mantis, Pietro, and Wanda have become the world's most wanted criminals!" Natasha said with a worried look on her face.
She immediately filled Steve in about all the details that happened on the Avenger's base earlier.
"You are saying that Dio and the others were attacked as soon as they left the Avengers base?"
Natasha could only nod and say, "I noticed something unusual when the Secretary of State left the base at that time, but in order not to cause a bigger commotion, I did not say anything. Besides, his path was never blocked in the first place! But it still came off a shock after I realised that the World Government was after his alien tech!"
"Their greed was showing! They wanted not only the Avenger for themselves but also Dio's equipment! Dio was right all along! It's better to leave as the Sokovia incident was just a reason to do this kind of stuff!" Steve sighed deeply.
"With that reason, I wouldn't sign the agreement!"
Natasha wasn't surprised and smiled, "I know, I just want to comfort you this time. We shouldn't go back to Avenger Mansion, though!"
"What about Sam? What happened to him?" Steve asked curiously.
"He is fine. I locked him up inside his room with some food and movie if he ever got bored."
"You have him under house arrest?"
"Well, Dio left after causing such a big commotion! The military has pushed us to sign the agreement! There is nothing I can do. I am afraid that he is going to rile up the soldiers if I let him loose!" Natasha said casually.
"What about me? When are those people going to arrest me too?" Steve asked sarcastically.
He felt betrayed for his country that he has been fighting for almost his whole life.
"Steve, calm down! Secretary of State didn't want to kill you, but you become their target as the problem escalates!
"So, the government have been planning all of this?" Steve asked curiously.
The foundation of trust that he built up all this time with the government was destroyed in an instant!
In the meantime, Natasha tried to explain her thoughts involving this matter, "I will be going to Vienna to attend the Sokovia Accord meeting. If you have no place to go, I can take you to somewhere safe!" Natasha said with worry laced on her face.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have snapped at you."
"It's nothing. I am used to it."
"By the way, did Dio ever tell you where he would be going?"
"I asked, but he didn't say. But I think he probably didn't leave Earth. Otherwise, there's no need to hide it from me since I don't have the tech to come after him into space."
A woman's intuition, coupled with the experience accumulated over a long period of time as an agent, allowed Natasha to see through Dio's thoughts with little effort.
Steve's heart was suddenly moved as he thought of something. However, he did not say anything, now was not the time, especially at this juncture..

461 Life is Like a Drama
"A bomb, hidden in a news van exploded in front of the United Nations building in Vienna, injuring over 70 people and killing at least 12, including the current King of Wakanda, T'Chaka, who tragically lost his life. Officials have released a photo of the suspect..."
In the SHIELD's secret base that was still in development, Dio leaned back on his seat while watching the news.
He also knew that Bucky Barnes was somewhere out there, still under the HYDRA's influence.
"What's wrong? Do you know this guy?" Wanda asked as she looked at Bucky's photo on Dio's hand.
"Steve's former best friend, but this one is a fake. But Wanda, can I ask you a question? Do you think someone who has killed a lot of people deserves forgiveness just because he's under someone else's control?" Dio asked with a curious expression on his face.
After hearing Dio's question, Wanda was thinking for a while and started to remember what she had done to Hulk not too long ago.
"No, this is not about you or anything that you have done. I just simply wanted your input." Dio said awkwardly as he remembered what Wanda had done before.
Wanda sighed and took a deep breath before answering, "Probably yes, after all, the one controlling that individual is the worst!"
"Sorry, my bad for making you remember the past!" Dio said sincerely while wrapping his hands around Wanda.
He didn't mean to make Wanda remember the past, but he totally forgot about it earlier.
He still wanted to ask some more questions, but it was clear that Wanda was affected by this question.
There was no way he could make Wanda feel more uncomfortable than she already was.
However, he also knew that not everyone would have the same answer, depending on what you have seen in the past.
From the victim's standpoint, the killer had to pay with their life, regardless the person was under control or not.
However, if you looked at it from the perspective of the one being controlled, obviously, they never wished for such a thing to happen.
They were manipulated to do things and therefore, they were also a victim!
So there was no right answer to this question.At the same time, at the capital of Hungary, Budapest.
There was a lot of fighting and chasing happening in the city right now. However, the end result wasn't a happy one. Steve, Bucky, and T'challa was apprehended by the police!
"Congratulations, Cap. You're a criminal now."
Colonel Rhodey's tone was slightly mocking; a disappointed look was clear on his face.Berlin, Germany.
Under the escort of heavily armed soldiers, Steve and Bucky were brought to the UN's interrogation room.
When Bucky was taken into a special prison, Steve couldn't help but ask what would happen to his old friend.
"You should worry about yourself first." The soldier said indifferently.
"This is Ross, the Deputy Commander of Joint Counter Terrorist Act." Thadeus Ross introduced himself while Sharon Carter was standing beside him.
Steve knew her as Peggy's niece.
"Okay, so what will happen now?" Steve asked curiously.
"We will evaluate your psyche and extradite you to the U.S!" Ross said indifferently.
"Can I hire a lawyer?"
"You are funny! Well, no. We will lock up your weapon, and you will probably never see it again." Ross said as he led Steve back to his room.
"You should be thankful that this time you are given a room instead of a prison! So, you better behave now and stop your farce!" Ross said as he left the room.
Steve saw that Natasha and Tony have been waiting for him inside the room.
"Wow, welcome our superhero! Because of you, the entire team almost went to military court! And by the way, Secretary of State wants to indict you!" Tony said with an annoyed face.
"Well, they already took my shield away."
"Technically speaking, that's the property of the state. That SHIELD is something that my father made, so technically speaking again, it never belongs to you in the first place, Captain." Tony said sarcastically.
Steve sighed but didn't say any words after that.
"But for humanitarian reasons, it can be yours, forever," Tony said while giving Steve a pen and a paper.
Steve took the paper and saw that it was the Sokovia Accords agreement paper!
Steve clicked the pen and rolled it away.
"What is this? A bribe? A threat?" Steve said sarcastically to Tony.
He couldn't believe that they were a comrade in arms just a few days ago, but now, it looks like Tony just cared about his own issues rather than what happened in front of him.
Now Avenger has officially fallen apart. Dio has left with those who trusted and believed in him, while Tony and Steve were fighting against each other with their respective accomplices.
"You're free to interpret it as you please. At least it would be better than jail, don't you think?" Tony said indifferently.
Seeing Tony's apprehensive attitude, Steve wanted to laugh, a sad laugh. "Is Pepper here too? I don't see her anywhere?" Steve asked as he knew that Pepper could at least hear him out.
"No! she is a…" Tony stopped as he seemed like thinking of something.
"Pregnant?"
"No, we broke up!" Tony said while having a sad smile on his face..

462 There Is Nothing Wrong With Doing One More Miracle
Steve could tell that Tony was in pain and struggling.
"I'm sorry, Tony. I didn't know..."
"A few years ago, I threw away all the Iron Man Suit I have just to regain her trust, but then the problems with HYDRA and Ultron forced me to take upon the suit again. Of course, the problem itself arises because of me, but I couldn't stop now! I didn't want to lose Pepper, so I thought maybe this Accord could resolve the problem for her and bring her back to me." Tony laughed very bitterly.
"You know, Tony, I didn't mean to give you a hard time. It's just..." Steve said with some mixed feelings.
"I know! You are a good man. Although sometimes I really want to hit you hard, I do not want to see you leave. We need you, Captain. Everything is messed up, but with your sign, we can turn this incident into a legal act, and Barnes can be transferred to an American Mental Hospital instead of a prison in Wakanda. Even... the fact that Dio and the others are a wanted criminal is negotiable!"
"How do you even plan to negotiate it? Make him give up everything?"
Steve asked sarcastically while looking at Tony straight in the eye. But Tony's silence was all the answer Steve needed.
At this moment, Steve felt that he no longer knew the man in front of him.
"It's just temporary. I am sure once everything is back to normal, he will get back all his toys. I can promise you that!" Tony said as he saw Steve's judging looks.
"Can you guarantee that? You're supposed to know him the most! Did you really think he would let anyone push him around?"
"That's enough! I had no choice but to compromise before the situation got worse! Did you know how many people Dio has killed while you were away?" Tony said angrily.
"Don't tell me that it was his decision to do so! You know damn well that he wasn't the one who pulled the trigger! I can't agree with his method, but I don't think he choose the wrong move to defend himself! You clearly have changed Tony to something unrecognizable!"
After letting everything out, Steve turned around and walked away. The conversation turned sour at the last moment, but when he was about to leave, the entire building suddenly went dark.
Something was wrong!
Steve immediately turned to Tony, and they looked at each other. They knew that a new incident might occur, so they immediately rushed out to find out what happened.
"Keep an eye on Barnes! And start the backup power already!" General Ross shouted at the radio as he gave a command to his soldiers.
However, when the relevant personnel arrived at the 5th floor of the West Wing Basement, they saw many downed soldiers and Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier, near their body.
A chaotic battle has started...A few hours later, in an abandoned factory somewhere in Berlin, Bucky, whose metal arm was pinned under a heavy metal, finally woke up.
"Steve..."
"Which Bucky are you?" Steve asked curiously.
"Your mother's name is Sarah... You used to put newspaper in your shoes." Bucky said as he laughed as he recalled his memories.
"You don't read about that in museums, Bucky," Steve said as he, too, laughed as he let Bucky go.
"What did I do?"
"You better off not knowing for now."
"I knew I had done bad things, Steve. I know that HYDRA transplanted something in my head that activated whenever someone says some specific words!" Bucky said through clenched teeth.
"Who is that person?"
"I don't know."
"He killed a lot of people just to make you kill some more! I didn't understand his purpose!"
"Siberia!" Bucky said suddenly.
"What?"
"He wants to know about Siberia, the place where I was once imprisoned, and he wants to know the exact location."
"Why?"
"Because I'm not the only Winter Soldiers!" Bucky said with a worried expression.
"Are they all like you?"
"No, more terrifying than me. They can speak 30 languages, can hide themselves perfectly in plain sight, infiltrate, assassinate, sabotage... They can infiltrate any country overnight and do unimaginable things, yet no one will ever notice them!"
Steve's face finally paled as he realised the dire of the situation he was in.
"We have to find a way to stop him from releasing them!" Steve said nervously.
"Are you going to call the Avengers?"
Steve shook his head grimly. If this information came to light a few days ago, he would call the Avenger immediately.
But in their current situation, Steve knew that he had to handle this matter by himself!
He couldn't even go back to talk to Tony as he knew that Tony would never believe him! Furthermore, now that Tony has signed the Accord, he doubted that Tony would act without the approval of the UN!
Steve knew for a long time that it wasn't a good idea to control a super group like the Avenger under the reasoning of a government as not everyone wished to become a military unit!
"Then it's up to the two of us. However. we have to find a way to get your shield back and some weapon for me!" Bucky said as he felt helpless without any kind of weapon in his possession.
But then again, he trusted Steve would make the right decision, and thus he would follow Steve's direction.
"It wasn't that important," Steve said while smiling lightly and immediately pulled out a small snail from his pocket.
"Uh, what is that snail for? Don't tell me that was all we have for dinner." Bucky said with a worried look on his face.
Steve immediately rolled his eyes and said, "I mean, the owner of this snail can help us. If that guy agreed to help us, several more super Winter Soldier would be nothing."
Originally, Dio retrieved all the snail after the Ultron incident, but after the day Dio warned Steve that the government might try to control them, Dio gave Steve one snail without giving any reason why. He never thought that the time to use the snail would come!
Steve began to wonder if Dio could read the future or something, assuming Dio had many power that he has yet revealed, it might be possible!

463 Gathering the Men
An arrow hit the bulls-eye steadily!
Lila's face was filled with excitement as she waited for praise.
"Good job! How about we practice a few more rounds while your mom is still making the sandwiches?" Barton, who chose to retire, looked proudly at his daughter.
Little Lila nodded heartily and ran over to the target to pluck the arrows off the target to start over. Barton was satisfied with his life.
He lived at a cabin in the jungle outskirt with his wife and children without the need to be constantly reminded of the bad things that might happen later.
He owed too much money in his circus days that followed him even though he was already married.
Thankfully, he met Nick Fury, who saw the value in his expertise and cleared him from all his debt!
Now, after his retirement, he lived in a secluded area where only a few people knew.
Now, he didn't have to worry about being hunted by enemies!
In his spare time, he went hunting in the forest and taught his children all the skills that he has learned.
He didn't want them to follow in his footstep, but the world was a dangerous place. Thus having a skill that could be used to protect themselves was necessary!
However, his smile gradually disappeared as he saw a spaceship landed on the grassland right outside his house.
"Dio?" Barton said curiously.
"Someone has asked me to ask for a favour. But I think it is better if he talks to you himself!" Dio said as he walked forward and gave the small snail to Barton while hugging him.
After a few moments passed by, Barton sighed and brought his compound bow and custom quiver out of the house after bidding farewell to his wife and children as he would be leaving for quite a while.
Dio's personal visit, coupled with the captain's request, made it impossible for him to refuse.
So the spaceship took off once again towards another place.Uptown New York, in the Avengers base.
Sam was sweating in the gym, punching his sandbag that might burst at any time from the pressure he exerted in each punch.
When he finally stopped, Vision came inside the gym while handing him a towel and a glass of water.
"Your stamina has been depleted. You need to rest now."
However, Sam did not even look at him. Instead, he turned around and headed out, "Wow, I can't believe that the robot would sympathize with me, but hey, not that I can run away from this place!"
Sam said coldly as he took a couple of beer from the fridge and nestled on the couch to watch the Tv. A voice suddenly startled him as he didn't expect anyone could come in here.
"Looks like you've been living a pretty good life here!" Pietro said as he suddenly sat beside Sam with a bucket of popcorn in hand.
"Pietro! Aren't you... What are you doing here?"
Sam, who was shocked, lowered his voice and asked as if he was afraid that Vision would find them.
"The captain ran into trouble, trapped in Germany, need our help. So, he asked us to rescue you from this 'corrupt' 'comfortable' life, now, what do you say? Do you want to tag along?"
Sam burst out laughing.
"Pietro, you shouldn't be here."
Just then, Vision went right through the wall and confronted Pietro.
"Is that so? Well, I've been here for 5 minutes, but I didn't think that I would get kicked out straight away!" Barton said as he came out of the bathroom with a strong magnetic arrow on his hands.
He shot the arrow to the floor under Vision's feet, and the arrow immediately radiated a strong electromagnetic field around Vision, trapping him to the floor.
"Please consider the consequences of your action!" Vision said as he started to collapse on the floor.
"Well, I've thought it over. Now, Let's go." Barton said as he waved for Pietro and Sam to follow him out of the house.
"Wait a sec, gotta bring my gear," Sam said as he ran toward his room.
"No need for that. I've already got that covered long ago!" Pietro said indifferently as he pointed his finger to the spaceship not too far away from the house.
Pietro immediately held onto Sam and Barton and vanished from the house. Vision immediately got nervous as he knew how important it was to keep Steve's power in check. So, he used the Mind Stone to free himself and chased after Pietro immediately.
He saw that the spaceship gradually ascended and vanished in the air. The vision then activated his Mind Stone once again to detect the residual energy that Sam and the other left!
However, as he activated his Mind Stone, he was smashed into the base of the buildings!
"Oh, sorry. I can't let you damage my ship and follows us. There is no insurance in space yet!" Dio said with a smile on his face.
Vision dIdn't care about the damage that he received and immediately rushed out towards Dio again.
"Get down!" Dio shouted as he realised that Vision's attack could hit the ship if he dodged, so Dio chose to withstand Vision's attack!
However, The Mind Blast that Vision shot couldn't reach Dio as it was dispersed immediately.
Vision was confused and rushed towards Dio once more for close combat, but he suddenly saw a green man behind Dio, and as Vision got close to Dio, he was suddenly forced to the ground!
"You'd better lie down," Dio said indifferently as the gravity kept Vision from moving.
The green man behind Dio looked at Vision with curiousity on its eye and suddenly increased the gravity pressure on Vision!
The ground below Vision was immediately caved in from the intense gravity. After a few kilometres away from the surface, Dio stopped the Green Man's ability.
"This guy shouldn't be easy to kill!" Dio said while frowning a little bit and unsummoned [Echo ACT3] for now.
Dio then called Galaxy and flew away towards the rendezvous point.
Stand name: Echo – a Stand born under special circumstances.

464 Do You Want to Compare Who Has More People
"I really don't understand how you can use this car to escape!" Sharon Carter said as she teased Steve for driving a beetle.
"It's very low-profile."
"Okay, but not so much for the content!" Sharon said as she opened up the trunk of the car and revealing a Vibranium Shield, Captain America Suit, and a lot of weapons.
"I owe you a favour." Steve lamented.
"I wrote it all down... You know, he almost killed me!"
"Sorry, I'll make a note of that too."
When Steve and Bucky got their equipment and left the place, little did they know that Tony had already predicted their movement and pinpointed their location through the unsuspecting Sharon Carter?In the Berlin airport, when the heavily armed Steve and Bucky arrived, the first thing that they did was to wait for Dio and the other's arrival.
But at the same time, the Airport radio suddenly announced for the civilian to evacuate the airport!
"Damn it! We're exposed!" Steve said while holding his shield, ready to intercept the enemy.
"Was it that woman?" Bucky said as he was suspicious of Sharon.
He knew that the person that Steve contacted using the weird snail wouldn't be the one to expose their whereabouts!
But Sharon was different! But still, Bucky couldn't say for sure that the woman really betrayed them.
"No. Someone might be using Sharon to get to us! She may be bugged or being followed without her knowing." Steve said while raising the shield in his hand.
"So, what now? Should we escape this place first?"
"It's already too late..."
Steve said while shaking his head. It was obvious that the enemy has taken control of the situation as went ahead and made such a broadcast earlier.
The enemy might have already set a trap for them before their arrival. So the only chance of escape was to wait for Dio's arrival.
While the two of them were hiding in the shadows, Tony and Rhodey, with their iron armour suit, directly flew to the open field for Steve and Bucky to see.
"Wow, this is so strange! I never expect to run into my acquaintances at the airport. What a small world!" Tony said sarcastically.
Steve and Bucky immediately knew that their whereabouts were already spotted, and thus they walked out and met with Tony and Rhodey.
"Did you take advantage of Sharon?"
"Took advantage? Wow, such a harsh word! Don't you know I am helping her? Just think about a senior CIA officer betraying the country to steal several weapons for a criminal! She would be getting the CIA infamous death punishment! But I don't mind saying that she did everything under my command, so she wouldn't go to jail, heck, she would even get a commendation for her work!" Tony said sarcastically.
"Stop talking bullshit, Tony! What is the premise for all this?" Steve shouted annoyedly.
"Of course, the premise is that I would capture you again and bring you back to Ross in 36 hours. Now, can you cooperate and come with me in peace?" Tony asked honestly.
"You got the wrong person! The psychiatrist on the secure building earlier was the culprit for all this!" Steve shouted annoyedly.
"Your judgment is faulty, Captain. Your old comrade already killed a lot of innocent people. It didn't matter whether he was really the one behind all this or not." Tony said indifferently.
"There are 5 other Winter Soldiers just like him that may have been released by that doctor as we speak. We have to stop them!" Steve said desperately.
However, Black Panther arrived with Natasha.
"Steve, you know what will happen next. Do you really want to kill any of us to make your way out?" Natasha said solemnly.
"Well, we don't have time for sure! Underoos!" Tony shouted, and suddenly a boy in a spider costume jumped out of a building and stole Steve's shield from his hand.
Bucky was subconsciously ready to shoot the little spider, but Black Panther immediately stopped him!
The bullet hit Black Panther's battlesuit, but it didn't affect him whatsoever, and Black Panther's claw immediately destroyed Bucky's rifle!
In an instant, Steve and Bucky were at a disadvantage!
They didn't have any weapons, and they were also losing in terms of number. Yet Steve just laughed as he didn't think that he would be captured today.
"Are you really going to do this?" Steve asked Tony while laughing.
"At a time like this, do you think I'm going to preach chivalry?" Tony said indifferently.
"Very well, that's what I thought," Steve said with a smile on his face.
Tony immediately understood that Steve's backup was already nearby!
"Everyone, watch out!" Tony said as suddenly the Dark Battleship appeared in the sky and started to shoot a laser towards Tony's crew.
But Tony knew that Dio would never kill the Avenger member, and the laser was just meant to throw them off their formation.
However, the others didn't understand Dio as he did, and so, everyone was trying hard to dodge the laser as they were afraid of getting shot and died!
But as sudden as it appeared, the Dark Battleship stopped shooting as it landed on the ground.
"Hey, you'll have to visit me in prison if you come a little later!" Steve said as he waved his hands to Dio with a smile on his face.
Dio tossed his poker card, and suddenly, the web that bound Steve to the wall was cut easily.
"It seems that you are in a quite a pickle earlier. But don't worry, the real heroes are here!" Hawkeye said as he came out of the Dark Battleship with Wanda, Pietro, Mantis, Sam, and Scott, the Ant Man!
Dio personally fetched Scott from his house as he knew that Scott's role was needed in the future.
"Thanks. I would expect no less from you!" Steve said solemnly.
"We've already predicted everything that would happen today, haven't we?" Dio laughed a little and then held out his hand to Steve.
Steve immediately took the hand and smiled bitterly. Even though he was happy that Dio had saved him from Tony, he never wished to become Tony's enemy in the first place.
"Any idea who we're up against this time?" Scott asked with a confused look on his face.
"Uh yeah, These guys behind us?" Sam said sarcastically.
"Does it mean we are criminal now?" Scott asked again.
"Well, I wouldn't put it that way!" Barton said with a frown on his face.
Scott shrugged indifferently as he prepared himself to fight..

465 One More Move, and You'll Die!
Both sides lined up, ready for battle.
Tony's side, including the sudden appearance of Vision, consisted of only six people, whereas Dio and Steve's side had nine people!
Even if they counted Mantis out, who had little to none combat capability, they still had two more people than Tony's side, not to mention Dio's combat power and the intimidating Dark battleship next to him was overwhelming.
It was safe to say that Tony's side was at a complete disadvantage.
"It's over, Tony," Dio said solemnly as he gazed at Tony.
"Why do you have to come back and involve yourself with this mess! I always thought you are a smart guy, Dio! Pulling Clint and dragging Sam out of safety? I have been trying my best to keep the Avengers from falling apart!" Tony said angrily.
"The Avengers has already fallen apart as soon as you sign those accords!" Dio said calmly.
Tony wanted to retort, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
"Then there's only one way to conclude this conflict!"
"That is just what we expected!"
The two sides collided instantly.
Technology and mutation, enhanced individuals and intelligent beings, super soldiers, and Stand users!
Different powers, different people, different personalities, different choices... At this moment, everything clashed against each other!
[The World] carried Dio to the sky while blocking Vision's energy blast. Dio knew that Steve and his team could take care of Tony and the rest while Vision was the only threat!
So, Dio kept chasing Vision while carefully observing Vision and the mind stone on his head.
Furthermore, only Dio and Wanda's ability could resist Vision's illusion from his Mind Stone!
"You're not the first Infinity Stone user that I've seen, but you're clearly the most unique. So, don't let me down on this!" Dio said as he wielded his scythe, ready to slash Vision open.
Normally, Vision would go intangible, but he already knew from the training that Dio's power was special!
Vision wouldn't be able to escape unscathed even if he went intangible here. So, Vision's only option was to dodge the best he could and return fire as soon as possible to keep Dio from closing the distance between them.
Just like Vision, Dio didn't want to take the Mind Stone blast right in the face either. He couldn't guarantee that he could block it with his Hamon shield.
"Go!"
Seizing an opportunity, Dio violently threw the [Reaper's gaze] while controlling it on the air using a whistle towards Vision.
Vision quickly used his Energy blast to knock the [Reaper's Gaze] out of the way, but Dio was already behind him, using the scythe as a distraction.
Zoom Punch!
Vision barely turned around to block the punch, but he failed to measure the distance of the attack. Dio's fist extended in such a way that his block was meaningless.
Dio's arm violently extended out and struck him in the face.
Seeing that his attack connected, Dio immediately threw out a series of attacks to pressure Vision some more.
Dio also used [The World] to ensure that Vision couldn't escape his reach, as [The World] attacked Vision from the back.
Finally, Dio threw a big hit that immediately sent Vision flying to the ground. Like a shooting star, Vision fell, and a big crater was created on the ground.
"It seems that the results of the special training are not that remarkable. I am disappointed to see your close combat skill is nowhere near usable."
But an energy blast that was more powerful than anything Vision ever shot before was discharged from the ground.
Dio immediately dodged, and the Energy blast destroyed the tower behind Dio.
"It's true that my close combat ability is not great, but I am confident in my defensive capabilities."
The unharmed Vision flew out from the crater once again. He could freely modify his body's density, allowing him to slip past through objects or became as hard as diamonds.
But Dio already rushed towards Vision and launched his own attack!
A breaking sound was heard throughout the field. Vision immediately covered his chest as he took a step back painfully.
"Apparently, your defensive capabilities is not that flawless either."
Dio said as he held a silver pistol.
Although Dio wasn't used to using a gun, after getting [Emperor, he couldn't say no to having a gun as a weapon.
The shot that wounded Vision just now was a homing bullet that was also wrapped in Metal Silver Overdrive, producing an unblockable shot!
"That shot is just a warning. The next one won't be anything like it!" Dio said casually.
Vision sighed as he realised that Tony's disadvantages were more critical than they thought.
"I am sorry but, I still can't just let you guys leave." Vision said as the Mind Stone on his head suddenly dazzled with a brilliant yellow light.
Mind Stone's power wasn't as simple as firing an Energy Blast; it was far more complicated than that!
As the bright yellow light immediately covered the field, Steve and the others immediately fell unconscious while blood flowing down their nose!
It was a devastating mental attack! However, Vision clearly held back the power to refrain from killing anyone.
Tony and the others immediately took advantage of the opportunity Vision has created and ordered Spider-man to capture everyone with his web.
Even Dio felt slightly dizzy from Vision's attack and couldn't retain his power. However, because of his high mental resistance, Dio quickly recovered and whistled for [Reaper's Gaze] to return. The [Reaper's Gaze] penetrated Vision's abdomen.
"One more move, and you'll die!" Dio said coldly as he immediately turned around to help the other member.
But Dio didn't have to say it twice as Vision couldn't move either way. If Vision didn't have a powerful exoskeleton, he would have been killed by this scythe!
"Mr.. Stark, I did my best!"

466 Sun Magician's Red
Vision's attack just now completely changed the flow of the battle!
Everyone on Steve's side was knocked down aside from Wanda and Dio, who possessed resistance to mental attack.
However, Tony's side didn't receive any damage at all!
But it still didn't change the outcome!
Suddenly, everyone felt really hot, as if the air itself was made of fire while the sky was suddenly blinding.
Tony's mask wasn't affected by this light, but he realised that he had no way of winning the battle as he looked up.
There was another sun in the sky, although the size was much smaller than the real sun, it still has all the sun's property!
That was the result of combining the power of [The Sun] and [Magician's Red]!
Dio also empowered the sun with his Overdrive Hamon Technique, increasing its power exponentially!
And finally, Dio also empowered the two Stands with his Scarlet Overdrive, increasing the heat even further!
Everyone could feel the heat, but due to his extra sensitive sensory, this heat was unbearable for Spider-Man!
After intaking dry air a couple of times, Spider-Man was down for the count!
Even Natasha, who was prepared for every extreme situation, began to show heatstroke symptoms as she began to feel dizzy and unsteady.
Tony realised that everyone wouldn't be able to resist the heat, so he released freezing dust into the air, giving himself and everyone else a room to breathe and save themselves!
However, Tony's action only bought a little bit of time as the freezing effect only lasted for a few seconds!
Dio himself had to summon [White Album] to regulate his temperature; after all, the temperature attack from the two stands was indiscriminate!
"It's over! The entire place would completely dry up in just a few minutes!" Dio said as he started to walk towards Tony's side.
Rhodey, who was slowly roasted inside his War Machine armour, was preparing to fire a few mini missiles towards the artificial sun as he thought that they would be able to break out of this desperate situation if he, by any chance, could destroy it!
But how come Dio would make such a low-level mistake?
The [Magician's Red] who was staying on top of [The Sun] suddenly opened its beak and spew a thick pillar of fire!
The mini-missiles immediately collided with the fire pillar and exploded mid-air, increasing the surrounding temperature even more!
"Why did you never listen to my words?"
Dio immediately rushed towards Rhodey and hit him straight in the chest, sending Rhodey flying a dozen meters away!
Dio's punch directly destroyed the Ark Reactor on his chest, causing the armour to lose power and making him unable to move the heavy armour!
"Rodhey!!" Tony shouted angrily as he shot Dio with his palm cannon.
However, Dio only needed to move slightly to dodge Tony's attack. Although the surrounding environment has become unbearable, the [White Album]'s ice armour was extremely strong!
So he didn't need to exhaust himself just to dodge such a desperate attack!
Dio then rushed towards Tony and held his neck in the air. Simultaneously, [Magician's Red] also spewed a dozen fireballs that hit Tony's back, knocking him out from the battle!
Furthermore, Dio also summoned [The World] and punched Tony repeatedly to make sure that he wouldn't get up so quickly!
As a final attack from Dio, [The World] also punched Tony's Arc Reactor, destroying it completely, giving Tony no chance to retaliate on this battle!
At this critical moment, the little spider quickly latched his web to Tony and pulled him to safety from Dio!
However, the deed was done, and there was no way Tony would be waking up anytime soon!
"Dio, stop it! Do you really want to kill us all?" Natasha said as she tried to move towards Dio in her wobbly legs.
Dio stopped for a moment and tapped the communicator on his arms a few times, immediately after that, several Dark Elves came out of the Dark Battleship and helped Steve's team that was bounded by the little spider earlier to safety inside the spaceship!
Dio then snapped his fingers, and [Reaper's Gaze] immediately flew and pulled Vision to his side.
Dio then rushed to the side, away from the sun, for Vision's safety, but suddenly, Black Panther appeared, blocking Dio's path!
Black Panther immediately clawed Dio, but Dio attacked the Black Panther with the scythe immediately!
The force of the scythe shocked T'challa as he knew that his Vibranium Suit was the strongest defensive equipment in the world, yet the claw part of his suit that was made by pure Vibranium was almost cut off from Dio's scythe slash!
"Impossible!"
"Didn't you hear from Tony what metal did I use to create this blade?" Dio smirked to the Black Panther.
T'challa immediately understood and stood aside immediately, watching Dio, and the Dark Elves evacuated towards the Dark battleship without intervening.
Before entering the ship, Dio left Vision's body on the side as he had no intention to bring Vision with him.
Those who were still conscious enough to watch from the side also left Dio alone as they knew that it was their loss!
When the Dark Battleship started to take off and disappear in the air, the sun immediately disappeared.
Natasha immediately regained some strength as she struggled to stand up. She immediately called for help as she knew that Vision, Tony, and Rhodey was seriously injured, while T'challa, the spider, and herself sustained many minor injuries.
She already knew that the confrontation would result in another disaster, and she was correct!Stand name: The Sun

467 See You in Siberia, Everyone's Got a Plan!
Tony was hospitalized after getting beat up. He woke up and immediately made a fuss to get discharged soon!
"Tony, what you need now is rest!" Natasha walked in with a helpless look on her face.
"How are the others?"
"They're all pretty much in the same state as you, beaten up pretty badly, but nothing serious!"
"Are you still defending those bastards?"
"I am not! I am just stating the fact here. You know damn well that Dio could kill us all if he wanted to!"
"You are right. Probably I have to talk to them soon!" Tony said while sighing exasperatedly.
"How would you find them? I think they would want nothing to do with us after that fiasco."
"I know, I got this," Tony said as he pulled out his cellphones and did something with it.
A red dot appeared on the screen, and Tony let Natasha know that it was the current location of Dio's spaceship!
"How did you track that ship?" Natasha asked curiously.
"Since I knew that guy would come, I've already prepared for this! I considered the worst outcome would happen, and thus I already ordered the spider boy to put a small tracking device on that spaceship!"
Despite being all ragged out, Natasha could sense the little smug on the corner of Tony's mouth.
"Are you going to report it to Ross?" Tony asked as he looked at Natasha.
But Natasha didn't have the time to say anything as a message suddenly blared from Tony's phone.
He immediately took a look at what Friday had to report and found out about the murder of the psychiatrist that was supposed to be Bucky's psychiatrist earlier. Tony immediately realised that Steve was right!
"What's wrong, Tony?" Natasha asked curiously as she saw Tony's mood suddenly shifted.
"We're all screwed. That psychiatrist was the real problem! We have to go immediately!"
"Just us?"
"That's right. Don't notify Ross for this one!"
"All right then."
Natasha took Tony to a chopper, and then Tony immediately told everything he knew to Natasha.
The Psychiatrist, Dr. Theo Broussard, who came to check on Bucky's mental status that day, wasn't the real one, and the real one was already dead somewhere in a hotel bathroom.
The police also found a wig and human skin mask in the room, while the mask was very similar to the psychiatrist's face!
Everyone was fooled, and Steve was right!
"Friday, pull up all the information we have on that guy," Tony said as he uploaded the security footage to his system.
"The man's name is Helmut Zemo. He is a Colonel of Sokovian Armed Forces. He is in charge of Paramilitary Death Squad in Sokovia!" Friday's voice filled the room.
"Damn!"And right after Tony and Natasha left the hospital, two helicopters followed them quietly. They didn't know that the Secretary of State has caught wind of what they would do and ordered several people to follow him quietly.
It didn't matter what Tony do as long as he led them towards Steve's whereabouts!
A new problem arose at Berlin Airport as the people there were also disappointed by the Avenger's mess and started to lose faith in them.
The nations on earth finally saw the dogfight that the Avenger was in and started to condemn them for such an embarrassing display.
Moreover, Black Panther, who was eager for revenge, also quietly followed Tony, ready to find the opportunity to kill Bucky.
Because of that, all forces with different ideas flocked to a remote place in cold Siberia!Inside the spaceship, Sam and the others were depressed and resting their head for a moment.
Vision really caused extensive damage to their mental state, and Dio didn't have a good way to heal a mental trauma.
The most he could over was to tell them to drink a lot of water and have plenty of good rest!
When they were close to their destination, Steve could not help but be a little worried, "Is it already too late?"
"We have to see it for ourselves, but once those guys leave Siberia, we will have a hard time finding them!" Bucky said solemnly.
"That is unnecessary. If it's just to find people, I am good at it! Even if they run to the end of the earth, they couldn't hide from me!" Dio said with a smile.
With [Hermit Purple] and [Moody Blues, no one would be able to hide from his tracking.
For now, that was all Dio could say. He knew that Tony could probably still find this place, but regardless of that, Dio wanted to get rid of the video where Bucky killed Tony's parents.
Steve's action in the movie where he wanted to conceal the truth was probably for the best. Both of them were his friends, comrade in arms, and therefore it wasn't right to choose sides!
If Bucky was really a bad guy, Steve wouldn't be stressed about choosing what to do.
However, Bucky was brainwashed, and therefore all the things Bucky had done in those moments weren't his fault.
"After hearing so much bad news, finally I heard good news." Steve said with a relaxed attitude.
After he landed near the base on the Siberia Arctic ring, Dio ordered everyone except for Steve and Bucky to stay on the ship.
He needed the other to have a good rest so that they could support him later.
"Can I borrow this thing?" Bucky said as he pointed to the Energy Gun that a dark elf held.
"Give it to him," Dio ordered the Dark Elf.
"Yes, sir." The Dark Elf said without any hesitation and handed the gun to Bucky.
The Dark Elf then continued to guard the exit without saying anything else. Clearly, they didn't have any intention to teach Bucky how to use the gun.
However, with his knowledge of armed weapons, Bucky got the hang of it pretty quick.
"After we leave, conceal the ship! No action without my permission is permitted! If anything happens, report to me immediately!"
"Yes, sir."
Dio spoke loudly as the words weren't only meant for the Dark Elves, but also for Sam and the others!
Dio didn't care if he had to face the gods, but an idiotic teammate was frustrating!
He didn't want a stupid teammate barging in, ruining his plan later!
After taking care of everything he had to do on the ship, Dio, Steve, and Bucky walked towards the base entrance vigilantly!

468 Are You Looking for Death Let Me Help You!
"Where is he?"
"I don't know."
"Didn't you say that you are good at finding people?" Steve said annoyedly at Dio.
"Well, true. But I need to find where they have been first!" Dio said as he rolled his eyes and walked ahead.
He didn't really remember how the psychiatrist looked like, and therefore, he couldn't just use [Moody Blues] casually.
Well, it wouldn't really matter since the psychiatrist most likely has already killed all Winter Soldiers if everything went according to the movie plot!
Steve and Bucky looked at each other as they followed Dio helplessly. At the same time, Tony and Natasha were about to arrive at HYDRA's Siberian base.
About several minutes later, Dio and the other finally found the frozen warehouse where all the Winter Soldier was being kept in their frozen state.
"Is this the place?"
"It should be. Be careful. They may have been awakened."
Right, when they stepped into the room, the lights suddenly lit up, and they could immediately see everything in the room! At the same time, Helmut Zemo's voice was heard through the speaker inside the room, "Welcome to Siberia; you don't have to worry about anything here as I already killed all of them!"
"Did you seriously think that I want more people like you out there? But I have to thank them for bringing all of you to this place!" Zemo said smugly.
Steve immediately checked the frozen cribs and found out that every Winter Soldier had a hole on their head.
"Did you kill so many innocent people just to lure us here?"
"That's correct! I spent a whole year just studying the Avengers and follows you around to make sure I didn't miss anything about each and every one of you!"
"We are here now! Show yourself!"
Another light was suddenly turned on in another room, showing Helmut Zemo behind a protective glass wall!
Steve immediately threw his shield towards the glass, but it just bounced off without damaging the glass.
"Don't bother, Captain. The Soviets built this chamber to withstand the impact of a nuclear explosion."
But as he finished his sentence, a glowing red scythe sliced the glass-like tofu. The tip of the scythe almost reached Zemo's head!
"Looks like the Soviets doesn't try that hard either! I didn't have to try hard to get you out of that cage." Dio said smugly as he snapped his finger, recalling the [Reaper's Gaze] back.
"Oh, of course, I believe you can do it. I already received the truth, Mr. Dio! But I already prepared for it! Why do you think I lured all of you here but killed all those Winter Soldiers? But, it's a pity that I can't see Mr. Stark before I leave!"
"Stark? Are you a Sokovian? So you're doing all this for revenge?" Steve asked as he walked over.
"That's half of the truth! I made an oath to punish you for all your wrongdoing that couldn't be judged by the law!" Zemo said as his expression was filled with sadness.
"You've lost someone," Steve said knowingly.
"I lost everyone! So, you will also feel the same thing that I did! An empire could rise again when it was overthrown by enemies, but it will end miserably if it was destroyed from within!"
Suddenly, the big screen lighted up, playing a certain video. But before anyone could see it, Dio immediately sliced the video in two!
"Don't waste your time. I know what you're trying to do." Dio said coldly to Zemo.
"Oh, so you also already know the incident that happened in 1991. No wonder Stark couldn't come here." Zemo said with a disappointed expression, while Steve and Bucky were confused and surprised by Dio's action.
"It doesn't matter, but if I kill you now, everything will be back on track," Dio said coldly, but Zemo just laughed.
"Do you think this is the only tape? I lured you here just to see you all kill each other! But now that Stark wasn't here, I guess the video will find its way to Stark in another way!" Zemo said confidently.
"I see you want to die that badly!" Dio said as he pulled the Implosion Grenade and threw it towards the glass wall.
As the grenades imploded, the glass wall was broken! Dio immediately yanked Zemo out of the room and punched him hard in the face.
"What else did you do to the video!" Dio said coldly.
"Ha... Haha... I just... Made a copy of the video... Made a copy... Timed it with an email to... Stark's email... By now... He should have..."
Before Zemo could finish his little speech, Dio immediately punched him again, breaking Zemo's nose in the process.
"You really want to die, didn't you? You think I am bluffing?" Dio said coldly, but this time it was clear for everyone that Dio also exuded a strong killing intent!
"Wait a minute!" a voice suddenly shouted from the door, and here came T'Challa, complete with his Black Panther Suit!
Steve and Bucky were startled and immediately aimed their weapons towards T'Challa.
"I heard your conversation just now, and I know that what happened before was just a misunderstanding, a conspiracy. But I want to execute him myself! For the sin of masterminding my father's death!"
Dio pondered for a moment and withdrew his scythe. Dio then kicked Zemo towards T'Challa's side. Dio's kick was powerful enough to wound Zemo's lungs!
So, whether or not T'Challa really killed Zemo, he wouldn't live for long!
T'Challa knew what Dio was doing, and he frowned a little but refrained from saying anything.
"How did you know about this place?" Steve asked curiously to T'Challa.
"I followed Stark! Let me also remind you that the UN's troops are also on their way here. If you don't leave this place quickly, you will be in trouble later!" T'Challa immediately left while dragging Zemo out after warning Steve about the UN.
Dio was surprised by the information that T'Challa gave. Since T'Challa was following Tony, that meant Tony was here before T'Challa did!
Dio immediately realised that the situation was far worse than he thought!
Before Dio realised it, Steve immediately ran towards Bucky and blocked several Energy Blast from the door!
"You already knew it, right? Captain, be honest with me!" Tony said as he flew inside the room..

469 There is No Place For Me by Your Side
Tony opened his visor and glared at Steve silently, "Tell me, did you know about it?" Tony said while gritting his teeth, preparing for the worse answer he would hear.
Natasha also came and looked at Dio with a helpless look on her face. Apparently, she also saw the video.
At the same time, Steve avoided Tony's eyes and nodded, confessing that he already knew about it!
As Tony got the answer he wanted, he felt deeply disappointed and turned his gaze towards Dio, "How about you? did you know about this too?"
Dio fell silent for a moment as he was trying to think of what he was going to say. He already knew about a lot of things since the beginning, so it was hard to say something that would not upset Tony any more than he already was.
"I didn't know what you are talking about, but this is all the enemy's ploy to split us up!" Dio said confidently.
"Are you telling me that all this was a conspiracy? That the video was tampered? You are joking!" Tony said coldly.
"Tony, calm down, maybe we can talk about it," Natasha said as she sensed that Tony was starting to lose it.
But before she could reach Tony, he already rushed over to Steve and punched him right in the face, before rushing towards Bucky with an intent to kill!
Bucky wasn't some amateur either. He already knew why Tony was furious, so he was already prepared for a confrontation to some extent.
Before Tony could reach him, Bucky immediately shot out the energy gun in his hands towards Tony, blasting him back several meters.
But before Tony was too far apart from Bucky, he already shot his own energy blast from his palm, hitting Bucky's energy gun and blasting it out of Bucky's reach.
"Are you really going to stand there and let them fight to the death?" Natasha shouted at Dio frustratedly.
She already knew that she couldn't stop Tony and the others, but she knew that Dio could easily do so!
"So, are you suggesting that I should get hit by their attack? What did you think I am supposed to do here?" Dio said with a frown on his face.
Dio already knew that nothing he did would matter as Steve was the only one who could help Tony and Bucky. If he restrained Tony here, Tony would resent Dio for a lifetime!
After all, Tony didn't completely lose his ability to reason. He was just clouded with intense hatred towards Bucky, who killed his parent.
Natasha looked at Tony and the others before she sighed, clearly at a loss as well. She saw that no one had the intention to back down and kept fighting, but clearly, Tony was at a disadvantage here!
"Bucky, you need to get out of here!" Steve shouted as he tried to stop Tony by himself.
Bucky nodded and tried to get away from Tony.
"That wasn't the real him, Tony! It was HYDRA who controlled him. The same thing happened in Berlin! Bucky and your parents were both a victim of HYDRA!" Steve argued as he tried to reason with Tony.
"Just step aside, Steve! He killed my parents!"
"Your revenge against him wouldn't change anything!"
"I don't care. He killed my parents!" Tony said stubbornly.
Steve felt helpless, but all he could do now was to buy enough time to let Bucky escape before Tony broke free out of his grip.
At the same time, Dio's communication device rang.
"Sir! A large number of fighter jets and fleets are approaching! Please give your order!"
Dio frowned as he realised that the UN hasn't give up on capturing the Avengers, "Prepare for battle and check the ship thoroughly. I believe that some sort of signal transmitter was in there somewhere." Dio said casually.
"Yes, sir, right away!"
As Dio hung up, Natasha approached him, "You already knew about the tracking device?" Natasha asked curiously.
"A hunch, that's all. How can you guys find this place otherwise? It's just simple reasoning that Tony would definitely do something like that!" Dio said annoyedly.
"Well, after I retire, can I come live with you?" Natasha said out of nowhere.
"Why, I don't think a farm life will suit you," Dio said with a smirk on his face.
"Well, you will never know before you try," Natasha said with a big smile on her face.
"Are you serious right now?" Dio said as he looked at Natasha weirdly.
"Who knows, I am full of surprise, you know," Natasha said with a grin on her face.
Dio was surely bewildered, Natasha was worried about Tony just a moment ago, and now, she was proposing to live with Dio after her retirement.
Dio was convinced that Natasha was truly frightening. He would never know what was on her mind, ever!
"Let's go! We have to take a look at what the three of them are doing now!" Natasha said suddenly.
"Ah, yeah, sure!" Dio said as he followed Natasha towards where the three were still duking it out.
There, Dio saw that Bucky was lying on the floor, completely battered, while his metal arm was removed from his body.
At the same time, Tony was pinned under Steve, while Steve was trying to destroy Tony's arc reactor with his shield!
At this point, Tony, who completely lost his fighting spirit, has failed his revenge!
Tony's face was filled with sadness and anger as he knew that he couldn't do anything to exact revenge against his parent's murderer!
"That shield isn't yours! It was made by my father; You don't deserve it!" Tony said out of anger.
Steve immediately dropped the shield after damaging Tony's reactor. He knew that on this day, he regained an old friend while losing the other!
After looking at Tony's miserable state, Steve helped Bucky back on his feet and left the base to escape the incoming UN troops. After Steve left, Dio walked towards Tony to check on his condition.
"I didn't expect that it would come to this," Dio said honestly.
"You already knew about all this, didn't you?" Tony said angrily.
"You know, it doesn't matter what I already know at this point. I couldn't change the past anyway. I am also sorry that I couldn't help you in this situation. It really wasn't my call, and I really don't like the option you two gave me. But, I will not stop what you are going to do!" Dio said honestly as he knew that there was no point to lie at this point.
Tony fell silent and leaned to the nearest wall as he started to wonder about something.
"Take this, you know how to use it, and it can also heal you up now. But I really hope that we won't be enemies the next time we see each other!" Dio said as he put a little snail in Tony's palm before he turned away and left Tony alone.
The fight between Tony and Steve was temporarily over, but this was just the beginning of a larger scale battle to come.
"Are you done talking some sense to him?" Natasha said as she waited for Dio.
"It doesn't matter what I said to him. It depends on what he truly thinks about all of us." Dio said honestly. He then kept walking, making his way out of the base.
"You should be careful. This place should be surrounded by those soldiers already!" Natasha said with a smile on her face.
"Aren't you coming with me?" Dio said confusedly.
He remembered Natasha chose to join the other side after the fight according to the original plot.
"Do you need me that much? But I don't think that there is any place for me besides you. I'd rather help that poor guy over there, letting him know that he wasn't completely alone, you know." Natasha said while looking back at Tony.
"Well, I still could use a farmer girl or two by my side if you want it," Dio said with a smile on his face.
"Well, let's talk about it when I retire!" Natasha said as she walked away from Dio and helped Tony.
Dio just smiled and shook his head before pulling out his scythe, ready to make his way out of this place!

470 Geographical Prestige
"Everyone inside, you are already surrounded! Drop your weapons and surrender immediately!" the secretary of state said via the loudspeakers to announce his arrival.
"Mr. Secretary, Wakanda's prince, has come and explained the whole situation while also handing the perpetrator of everything that happened to us earlier." A soldier said as he reported to the secretary of state.
T'Challa didn't kill Zemo as in the end. He realised that he couldn't allow himself to be consumed by revenge.
He realised after seeing Zemo that revenge could be his end, and it was not a good end either!
In addition, T'Challa believed that death wasn't a punishment. It was a relief!
After reflecting upon his mistake and instinct, T'Challa handed over Zemo to the UN troops before he walked away from Siberia.
After hearing the soldier's brief report, the secretary of state enthusiastically thanked T'Challa for everything he had done and promised that Zemo would be locked up and would be judged lawfully by the court of law.
T'Challa just shrugged and kept walking away from the scene as he didn't have any business left there.
T'Challa knew that the secretary of state wouldn't bother hearing his words when it came to Steve and the others; there was nothing he could do to help anyone inside the base.
After all, in the eyes of other countries in this world, T'Challa was only a prince of a small country in Africa!
People from any large and powerful countries would think that T'Challa only had an abysmal influence and ignored him.
"How is everything so far?" the secretary of state asked the soldiers.
"We have eyes on every corner, sir!" the soldier answered.
"Have we found the spaceship yet?"
"We are still looking for it, sir! I believe with this many eyes covering every nook and cranny, we will find it soon!" the soldiers answered confidently.
"Alright! Keep your eyes peeled. We couldn't underestimate those monsters! Are the ICBM ready for launch?" the secretary of state said worriedly.
"Ready, but are we really going to use such a weapon, sir?" the soldier asked nervously.
"This is the unanimous decision of all countries. No matter how many sacrifices we might end up with, the spaceship must fall on our hands, even if only its wreckage is left! No one would want such a superweapon in the hands of criminals! Do you understand that?"
"Yes, sir! Understand, sir!"
At the same time, have gunshot sounds were heard along with the screams of soldiers.
"Wanted criminal Dio Brando, Steve Rogers, and James Barnes have been located, sir! Your order, sir!" a soldier ran towards the secretary of state worriedly.Outside the Soviet secret base, heavily armed soldiers were surrounding Dio while Steve and Bucky didn't have any weapons to defend themselves.
Knowing that Dio sighed as it was all on him to save Steve and Bucky out of this mess. Dio immediately ordered the Dark Battleship to prepare for takeoff to make sure they were ready whenever Dio was close enough.
Dio knew that he would be facing 117 nations this time, so he also ordered the Dark Battleship to retaliate if the soldiers found them.
"Steve, take Bucky to safety for a while! I don't think I would be able to cover you from incoming bullets this time!" Dio said to Steve solemnly.
Dio immediately noticed that Steve wanted to refuse and stay with Dio, but Dio immediately beat him to it before he could say anything, "Look at you now! You will only embarrass yourself and hinder me from going all out!" Dio said coldly.
Steve immediately frowned but didn't say anything as he was aware of his current predicament.
But it still annoyed him to no end that he was once a national hero, a war hero in fact, but now was a wanted criminal!
He was so disturbed by it that he finally snapped out of it only after Dio patted his shoulders.
Steve finally moved out of the way and covered himself and Bucky from the soldiers' line of view.
Now, Dio could go all-out, and the only thing in his line of thought was to kill every soldier that stood in his way!
Dio didn't have any inhibition like Captain America as he didn't have the same patriotism as Steve Rogers have.
Besides, the UN clearly wanted something from him that they shouldn't have!
"Target has shown himself, open fire!" the soldiers shouted at the same time as Dio moved out of the building.
The barrage of bullets immediately rained down on Dio, but thanks to the Hamon Energy that enveloped him and the [White Album] that also created a protective layer of ice, the bullets were stopped short!
Dio also summoned [Horus] as the ice and snowy environment of Siberia created empowered his ice Stands!
Dio immediately used [White Album]'s 'Ice Age' power to move quickly through the battlefield.
Because of that, Dio instantly turned everything 100 meters from him into ice sculptures!
In this cold environment, he didn't have to hold back both of his Ice Stands as it only consumed a small amount of his Hamon Energy.
As Dio moved quickly, more soldiers were frozen solid. They didn't have the time to retaliate as nothing worked against Dio right now.
"Everyone, don't approach the target! I repeat, don't approach the target! Use long-range weapons! Sniper, try to cripple the target first!" the secretary of state shouted through the speakers as he observed the battle.
Several soldiers began to snipe Dio, and some even shot a rocket launcher towards Dio. But it was all in vain!
Dio was prepared for such an attack earlier, and the 'Ice Age' still rendered the sniper bullet and rocket explosion obsolete!
No bullet would be able to retain its momentum in absolute zero, and the temperature of 'Ice Age' would instantly evaporate the explosion. In a normal environment, Dio wouldn't be able to keep the 'Ice Age' for so long as he had to manipulate the temperature to an extreme degree.
However, here in Siberia, where the land was cold, to begin with, he didn't have to try that hard to alter the temperature!

471 You Dont Know The True Power
"Cryokinesis!" Dio shouted as a huge amount of ice shards was condensed in the air.
Steve saw the ice shards in the air in awe, but the opposite effect was instilled in the soldiers. They were looking at the ice shards in fear!
They finally realized the terror of Dio's power, and as Dio waved his hands forwards, the Ice Shards were quickly propelled towards them!
"Keep shooting him! We have to kill that monster!" the soldiers shouted while keep on shooting, ignoring the death of their comrades around them.
But not all of them were that heroic!
Many of them also ran away in terror!
But the result was still the same; thousands of soldiers died in a matter of seconds!
Dio saw the secretary of state and smirked as he saw that the secretary was trembling in anger instead of fear.
Dio knew that the secretary of state was distressed about what to say to the UN later.
"Send out half of the Air Force here, now!" The secretary of state shouted to the soldiers hurriedly.
"But we haven't found the spaceship yet, sir!" the soldier said confusedly.
"Do as I say!" The secretary shouted annoyedly.
The soldiers immediately called the air force. Not too long after, the air force came and covered the ground around Dio with bullets!
They clearly didn't want to underestimate Dio's power as they fired at Dio while keeping their distance.
The secretary of state was delighted after seeing the show in front of him. He was sure that Dio would be dead this time.
But that thought alone meant the secretary of state was still underestimating Dio!
The Dark Battleship was quietly ascending and suddenly fired at the Air Force from their blind spot!
The Dark Battleship's weapons far surpassed the Air Force's, and the lasers that the Dark Battleships fired easily cut through the Fighter Jet in half!
Only a few fighter jets managed to escape in time as they saw the Dark Battleship from afar.
At the same time, Dio was still standing on the ice like nothing happened. The Jet Fighter's machine gun couldn't penetrate Dio's defence!
There was no way Dio would be injured as long as Dio was on the icy ground as the Ice Stand had one of the most powerful defences in the JoJo universe!
It was surely the end for the secretary of state. Even if Dio didn't kill him now, he would definitely lose his job and probably turned into the scapegoat for the media.
But the secretary of state was still determined to shoot down the spaceship!
"Shoot the missiles! Let's destroy our little alien friends!" The secretary of state shouted desperately.
"Yes, sir!" the soldiers responded and immediately called out the missiles strike from the mothership.
A powerful missile was launched from the sea towards the Dark Battleship, but the Dark Elves were already prepared for it as Dio already warned them beforehands!
The Dark Elves immediately shot the missiles, destroying it before reaching the Battleship. The Dark Elves also prepared the Annihilation cannon immediately.
Dio, who saw the missile was really launched towards him, was surprised!
He didn't expect that the entire world really became his enemy just because he had a superior weapon at his disposal.
Dio immediately ordered the Dark Elves to charge the annihilation canon to the third stage and aimed it at the mothership.
Dio realised that he had to become a demon in this situation to show that he wasn't an enemy that the world could afford!
The third stage of the annihilation cannon was the same amount of energy that Dio used to erase the entire Sokovia.
Although it was unfortunate to kill so many soldiers that only followed orders, his options were limited!
When the purple energy began to gather at the tip of the spaceship's cannon, the secretary of state immediately became frightened, he already saw what happened in Sokovia, and he knew that he couldn't afford to lose another unit. But he now realised that Dio was fucking lunatic!
"Marine forces, evacuate immediately! Stay away from there!" the secretary of state shouted through the communicator as he knew that Dio aimed for the mothership.
But he knew deep down that he was already too late!
It only took a few seconds for the spaceship to charge up, and there was no way the marine could move that fast!
The purple lights were finally fired from the spaceship and plunged towards the mothership. The purple lights illuminated the sea, melting everything that it hits!
The mothership was obviously destroyed. Even the Seawater, the Fishes, and the Seafloor was destroyed!
As the purple lights disappeared, a huge vortex was gradually formed on the sea!
Raging waves shook the other ships towards each other, but sadly, the soldiers on board wouldn't be able to escape!
Now that the vortex pulled everything towards its centre, the soldiers wouldn't be able to leave the ship!
The sea raged as wave current kept pulling everything and torn them apart!
Even another mothership couldn't escape its rage. No matter how large the vessel would be, nothing was spared!
The soldiers on land could only watch in horror as they watched the entire fleet being swallowed by the sea.
There was nothing that they could do to help as they would be dead as well for even trying.
This was far worse than the Socovia tragedy!Dio himself was in awe after seeing the Power Gem's energy for himself. He knew that the power gem was the most powerful thing in the universe, but he never knew that it would produce the firepower on such a level with only a slight charge.
Now he knew why the collector held this Power Gem as the deadliest item in the universe. Other Infinity Gems couldn't hold a candle against this tremendous power!
Dio finally watched the soldiers slumped weakly on the ground, disarming themselves as they gave up on capturing Dio..

472 Who Counsels Who is The Grandson!
Because of the Annihilation Cannon, the Dark Battleship was at a disadvantage right now. The energy barrier that protected the Dark Battleship was damaged due to the impact from the Annihilation Cannon itself, and now it was almost completely worn out.
So, Dio called Galaxy through telepathy, and immediately, Galaxy appeared before him.
As an animal that possessed a Stand, Galaxy was quite reliable. It has awakened [Dimensional Wanderer] Stand where it could teleport or create a wormhole to travel around.
It was really similar to Dr.Strange's teleportation ring's ability.
But Galaxy's Stand ability was very limited right now as the amount of Hamon Energy that Galaxy required to teleport was determined by the distance of teleportation.
Due to its amount of Hamon Energy right now, Galaxy couldn't teleport far away just yet.
"I don't know if the Hamon Beads have any effects on you, but I will give you some later!" Dio said to Galaxy as he hopped onto its back, "Now, let's go! We have to destroy those annoying soldiers!" Dio ordered Galaxy.
Galaxy nodded as it understood what Dio ordered and then immediately created a portal towards the sea. Dio summoned [Red Hot Chili Pepper] immediately, and every jet fighter that surrounded the Dark Battleship was electrocuted.
There is no better Stand for dealing with modern technology than the [Red Hot Chili Pepper] as it only took a little electricity to overload the machine!
Dio didn't just sit back and watch either. He destroyed the Jet Fighters that was out of [Red Hot Chili Pepper]'s range with [Reaper's Gaze].
The Dark Elves also began to shoot the Jet Fighter with the laser gun while maneuvering through the Jet Fighter's line of fire.
Even without the Annihilation Cannon, Dio had spent a lot of money to arm the Dark Battleship the best he could, making it a lot better than most Advanced Jet Fighter on earth! Not even Tony's current technology could be considered advanced enough to be compared with the Dark Battleship!
Aside from the laser gun, Dio also armed the Dark Battleship with Drones that covered all sides of the Dark Battleship so that the Dark Battleship didn't have any blind spot!
These drones provided other advantages besides covering all blind spots. One of them was the capability to automatically open fire once the target was locked on without requiring any manpower to operate it!
But of course, they also had their disadvantages too. Knowing that they would attack the enemy automatically meant that strategies were meaningless.
If they attacked an enemy who could see through the drone's pattern, the drone would be easily destroyed!
Seeing that the cost of each drone was very expensive, it would take a toll on Dio's pocket if they were destroyed later!
But against the Earth's Jet Fighter, Dio didn't really have to worry about that part as he thought that the Jet Fighter wouldn't be able to destroy the drone on their own!
And of course, Dio would also upgrade these drones later after incorporating the Sovereign's remote technology. For now, the pattern of the drone would be hard to predict, seeing that the soldiers were in a panic.Seeing all the destruction in the air, the secretary of state looked anxious. There was no doubt that the UN's leaders would drop all the blames on him!
His image would shatter to millions of pieces, and there was no doubt that the public would hang him later!
When he got there, he brought two motherships, four-vessel ships, 500 Jet Fighters, and nearly 10.000 fully armed soldiers, but it was all in vain!
There was no result to report back to the UN, and the worst of all, how would he return with nothing but mourning report for the the deceased soldiers' family?
He would definitely live in a nightmare later!
He thought he was fully prepared after so many people warned him about Dio's absolute power, but nothing worked!
He now understood what Nick Fury said about the Avengers could only be dealt with another Avenger. In the past, the army also failed to capture Thor and the Hulk on several occasions.
He should learn from this past event, but he underestimated Dio too much instead!
At the same time, Dio was flying around in the air with Galaxy. He immediately went down towards the secretary of state. The soldiers were terrified and immediately ran away, leaving the secretary of state alone.
But Dio was impressed by some soldiers who chose not to run away but instead running towards the secretary of state despite the fear and horror was still clear on their face.
Dio began to wonder if these soldiers were the elite soldiers?
They clearly had better control of their instinct than any ordinary human.
But nevertheless, they were nothing in front of Dio.
"Dio Brando, what do you want now? Do you want war against the whole world?" the secretary of state shouted desperately, but he didn't order the soldiers to shoot Dio as he was well aware that it was pointless.
"Wow, is that what the world wants? I could do that if I must! But clearly, you are delusional! Just look all around you? Is this what the world wants? Are you really doing all this in the name of justice? Or is it in the name of greed?" Dio looked at the secretary with a smirk on his face.
"At first, it was just a misunderstanding, but you clearly become a threat as soon as you killed so many soldiers near the Avenger's Mansion! Now, you could avoid going to war against the world as long as you sign the Socovia Accord! We wouldn't put any blames on you if you do that, you will also become the leader of the Avengers, and we can discuss any other condition later!" the secretary of state said confidently, although he was frustrated and desperate, he couldn't just put down his professionalism.
But after listening to the secretary's word, Dio laughed out loud and immediately felt pity towards Tony and the other Avengers who already signed the accord.
"You are dreaming. If you really want war, then I will give you one! Let's see what would happen if I level Washington DC and New York to the ground. Would you still stubbornly demand my toys then?" Dio said coldly with an evil smile on his face..

473 Countries are Scared!
Dio's word sounded so condescending. Everyone in the UN's secret conference heard everything Dio said as they put a hidden mic on the secretary of state's shirt.
They began to rack their brains about what action Dio would take if the world actually declared war against him.
They also calculated the heavy loss they just suffered as their abundant resources were destroyed singlehandedly by Dio!
They understood that the gap between Dio's technologies and theirs was too far apart that there was nothing that they could do to overcome it!
The 117 nations could only sit back and watch as they knew that they had chosen the wrong option, and there was nothing else they could do about it anymore!
The biggest issue was the threat that Dio could be anywhere undetected, while they were like sitting duck, easily targetable.
If Dio's threat were real, the nations must remain on alert all the time, waiting for Dio to strike one of their cities.
They obviously couldn't afford to be on alert that long since the economy in that city would be crippled and thus would create another chain reaction that would just become a nuisance later.
The nations' leaders regretted their decision to create the Sokovian Accord as they now realised that they couldn't control the Avengers!
The greed and political play would pollute the Avengers, making it ineffective in the long run.
The small countries began to take a step back and gave up as they could no longer afford to support the UN on their crusade against Dio.
Since the country that suffered the most damage right now was the United States, they had no reason to take part in it!
"Come on! We can't shut down the operation now! We have to form the United Nation Army now and eliminate that lunatic immediately!"
"And how do you plan on doing that? We can use the nuke, but do you know where to launch it?" someone mocked.
"So, what do you want us o do? Comply to that lunatic?"
"Well, I will not join on another crusade! You can do whatever you want, but don't expect me to be part of it!"
"You, motherfucker!"
"Don't blame me now. I never agreed on using force, to begin with! Just look what violence you bring! I am done here. I hope you realise what you are doing here was chasing after a fool's gold! Goodbye!"
"I agree with him. Now, my country is small; there is no way I would get anything out of this! The risk is not worth it, and there is no guarantee that we can pull it off the end. I am also done here. Good day, everyone!"
"Now, we should use this chance to look back! The Avenger was superheroes who try their best to defend the earth. Without them, we would've been long gone! I don't know what we are thinking back then, but clearly, everyone was blinded by greed to somehow get their hands on the spaceship that not even one of us has anything to do with! So, with that thought, I don't see any reason left for me to be here! So long, everyone!"
The screen that projected the 117 nations leader began to turn black one by one. Most of them realised that they didn't gain anything from antagonizing Dio and the Avenger any longer and therefore immediately called it quit.
They realized how dumb they were for being tempted by the USA to take part in this charade while they clearly didn't have anything to do with it.
They hoped that they could turn back time and revert everything to how it was before!
But some countries did believe that Avengers wouldn't give in to the UN's pressure, and therefore they've already expected that something like this would happen.
They wanted to weaken the USA, and Dio's threat seemed intriguing as the destruction of New York, and Washington DC would be a premise of the USA's demise!
The public would surely be rioting against the decision to antagonize the Avenger soon enough!
At that time, the USA would face a problematic matter as the USA had the most willful people.
As for Dio, even though the nations' leaders said that he was a lunatic now, they knew that Dio didn't have anything to worry about now!
Under the pretence of self-defence, no one would blame him for retaliating. Because of that, the online conference ended abruptly without any clear solution.
The USA president was dumbfounded as he has always thought that the USA was the most powerful country in the world.
Nobody ever dared to fight back against the USA, but now that Dio clearly demonstrated that he didn't have anything to fear against the USA, the president realised that there would always be someone that he shouldn't pick a fight with!
Now his option to use the Avenger was gone too!
The only one who could fight Dio at this point was Vision, since Tony, Rhodey, and Natasha obviously wouldn't be able to fight Dio.
It was a shame that Hulk and Thor weren't present. Nonetheless, Vision wouldn't be able to defeat Dio alone!
Out of desperation, the International Security Council was forced to call SHIELD and contacted Nick Fury to see if he had any solution to deal with Dio.
After all, the Avenger was Nick's creation, and he was on good terms with Dio. If Nick didn't have any solution to this matter, the USA would have no other option besides waging war against Dio.
"I know something about Dio that the others don't. So, hear me out now; he was the type of person who didn't know the concept of fear! He was the kind of person who will not give a fuck no matter who his opponent is. In fact, he also has a strong thirst for revenge! If you all still remember the case of HYDRA infiltrating SHIELD, Dio's parent was the victim of this case. Do you know what happened? Dio investigated the case alone and killed all of the perpetrators in cold blood! He wouldn't care about the consequences of his action as long as he thought that he was on the right! For your information, he has already gone on a little adventure to another galaxy and earned himself the notoriety as a cold-blooded overlord; he has even destroyed a planet before! He also has a planet of his own that he could control to his liking! So you better keep this in mind and take an appropriate measure!" Nick Fury said coldly.
Nick also brought up Dio's evaluation report and some record of Dio's experience in the universe that Nick had successfully acquired when he researched Dio's ship earlier.
Nick wasn't jealous of Dio's accomplishment, but he honestly wanted the International Security Council to reconsider their idea of making Dio their enemy!
Although everything that Nick has said to the International security was indeed the fact, he didn't mention Dio's good deed to them.
As an example, the planet that Dio destroyed was Ego that threatened to destroy the entire galaxy!
If Dio didn't kill Ego, then Dio could be considered cold-blooded, but because he killed Ego himself, Dio should be praised as a hero!
But Nick Fury's goal right now was to scare the International Security Council a little bit so that they would refrain from doing something stupid such as antagonizing Dio like this!
"So, your point is?" The International Security Council asked.
"My thoughts are still the same as before and always would be, don't mess with that guy! As long as no one bothers him, he wouldn't do anything that we need to worry about.. I would guarantee it myself! But you never listen, don't you? Now, even I am not too sure what he would do next!"

474 Do You Know This Person
In Wakanda.
"Do you really want to do this?"
"Yes, it is better to be frozen instead of becoming everyone's enemy again!" Bucky said honestly.
Steve couldn't say anything to stop Bucky as he realised that Bucky was thinking for the best.
"Your friend and my father was a victim," T'Challa said as he took off his Black Panther mask.
"You realize that you will be in a lot of trouble if they find me here, right?"
"This place is safe. Only a few people outside knew about our technology, so there is nothing to fear." T'Challa said confidently.
Dio, who was standing near them, smiled at Steve, assuring him that nothing would go wrong again. "Look at this, The UN has revoked the Sokovia Accord, 68 out of 117 countries has withdrawn their vote, and therefore the accord is useless now! They're clearly afraid of what we can do!" Dio said assuredly.
"If those people remain stubborn till the end, would you really do it? Destroy a few cities just for the sake of it?" T'Challa asked curiously.
"Well, I will leave it to your imagination," Dio said while laughing.
T'Challa thought of what had happened earlier, and with the current established image of Dio as a lunatic, there was no way the nations' leaders would take a risk!
"You really are a lunatic! I am starting to regret my decision to bring you here!" T'Challa said silently.
After handing over Zemo to the UN soldiers, T'Challa immediately left the Siberian base. However, after he boarded the Wakandan Stealth plane, he saw Dio destroyed all the jets and ships in the air and in the sea while threatening the world!
T'Challa had to say that Dio really took it to the next level!
So, to mend the bridge, T'Challa sent a message to Dio, asking him to stay in Wakanda. At first, Dio wanted to take Steve and the others back to the unfinished base, but he knew that it was too risky.
So many people came and went to that building, and he didn't really know how long Nick Fury could hide them there. And with that thoughts in mind, Dio agreed with T'Challa's invitation.
"It's too late now. We villains are going to use this place as our base for the time being. Well, after we figure out our next goal, we will pay all our expenses while we live here in full!" Dio said confidently. But Steve just shook his head in embarrassment as he didn't know what to say to Dio's shameless remark.
"Well, it's okay. As the King of the richest country in the world, I don't mind if you use our facilities. Just don't destroy anything while you are here!" T'Challa said with mock seriousness.
Although T'Challa sounded like he was joking, Dio knew that it was meant for him. That was why Dio didn't really like rich people, as they thought that their banknote could solve everything!
"Well, if that's the case, how about you make a shield for this guy!" Dio said as he patted Steve's shoulder shamelessly.
Steve was again embarrassed by Dio's lack of shame. But instead, T'Challa laughed.
"It is for the better. Now, follow my guards there, he would take Mr.Rogers to the lab, and we will get him a golden shield! T'Challa said as he pointed his finger to the guard behind him. Steve was surprised as he didn't expect T'Challa to actually take Dio's word seriously.
To be honest, Steve also had a hard time dealing with most rich people. But it was to his own surprise that he could become a good friend with Tony like they were before all this happened.
That was also why Steve parted way with his trusted Shield, as Tony claimed it back after their little quarrel. Both of them couldn't look past each other's mistakes and misunderstandings and took their separate ways.
Steve finally left the room with the guards, leaving only Dio and T'Challa in the room. Dio didn't have anything left to do there, and he wanted to return to the ships again to cuddle with Wanda, but before he could, T'Challa stopped him for a little chat.
"Remember the promise you made that time?"
"What promise are you talking about here? Have we ever met before, your highness?" Dio said, feigning innocent.
"Come on, we know that you are the person who impersonates our border guard, and not only you stole some of our Vibranium, you also kidnapped my sister. Now, that said man also said that he owed Wakanda a favour before he left my sister and me in Japan. Now, why did you do all those things?" T'Challa asked curiously.
T'Challa clicked something on his bracelet, and suddenly Will Smith's face appeared.
"Did your highness confuse me with Will Smith? We didn't exactly look alike, did we?" Dio said awkwardly. He kept denying it as he didn't want to expose his embarrassing personal past.
T'Challa sighed and put away the projected image and then smiled. "No, it's nothing. I am just asking out of curiosity. But can you show me your scythe for a moment? I believe it has a very precious metal on its core to be able to cut through my Vibranium claw." T'Challa said confidently.
"Oh, shit! I forgot that I was searching for it too! Once I find it, you can take a close look at it later! Until next time, your highness!" Dio said as he immediately left the room, but he knew that he wasn't fooling T'Challa this time.
"Shuri, I found that bastard!" T'Challa said to his communicator as he smiled after Dio left the room!

475 What is Ball
Dio remembered that he once saw the Marvel and DC leaderboard for the richest character in both universes.
Among them, within the top three were Bruce Wayne, at number three with assets approximately at $80 billion.
Tony was coming second with assets approximately at $100 billion, and at the top of the top was King of Wakanda, T'challa the Black Panther, with assets approximately at $90,7 trillion!
It could be said that T'challa dominated both universes in terms of monetary power!
T'challa's massive wealth was thanks to the Vibranium mine, which was the treasure of Wakanda itself!
With over 10.000 tons of Vibranium reserve, Wakanda most definitely became the richest country in the world! So, Dio really disliked these people with a silver spoon as he was jealous inside.
Dio was thinking of opening his branch of Dio's Fantasy Restaurant here to squeeze out their money. But then he noticed that Princess Shuri kept following him from afar and watched him from the distance.
Dio knew that Shuri should have realised that Dio was the one who stole their Vibranium a few years back!
He didn't know how they figured it out, but it could be when he cut the Vibranium Claw with [Reaper's Gaze]!
So, he absolutely couldn't take out [Reaper's Gaze] here no matter what!
There was also a chance that Tony had mentioned that Dio's weapon was indeed made of Vibranium!
But then again, Dio didn't want to think about this as he wouldn't know what to do if Shuri didn't make any move to confront him about it!In the afternoon, Dio and Wanda were watching some Netflix shows while Wanda suddenly got off-topic.
"What did you do to the Princess?"
"What do you mean? What is going on?" Dio asked confusedly.
"Did you two know each other before?"
"I don't know what you are talking about!" Dio said defensively.
"Well, why is she always following you around like a stalker! Did you ever .." Wanda wanted to say something but refrain from doing so as she trusted Dio and still did.
"I don't know, honestly, but it may be because I am too handsome!" Dio said while laughing it off.
"Good, I would like it to stay that way!" Wanda said as she leaned on Dio's chest.
"Well, this is not the first time. Every time I walk among the crowds, every talent scouts was handing me their cards, saying that they would make me a star!" Dio said shamelessly.
Wanda was thrown off by Dio's narcissism, but she knew that Dio should have never come to such a secluded country before!
After all, Princess Shuri was at the age where she found the opposite gender fascinating!
Realizing Wanda no longer asked any question, Dio smiled and continued cuddling with Wanda contently.
But suddenly, the door was opened, and Dio saw Shuri standing by the door surprisedly. "Ah, sorry! I got the wrong room!" Shuri said as she immediately closed the door and hurried away.
"Didn't you lock the door when you walked in?" Dio asked Wanda awkwardly.
"Why would I do that when we originally just want to watch a movie?" Wanda said defensively.
"Sure, it's my fault. Next time I will make sure the door is locked!" Dio said with a smile on his face.
But Wanda was already embarrassed, so she threw Dio out of her room with her power and locked the door.
"You have to explain that to her and apologize! I don't want to hear your excuse!" Wanda said from inside the room.
Dio was confused as he didn't understand what he needed to explain to Shuri. After all, she was the one who barged in inside the room anyway.
Dio also didn't believe Wakanda to be rather ignorant and didn't give any sex education to their people. Nonetheless, he had to make sure that Wanda was happy.
So, he searched for Shuri, and after asking around, he found out that Shuri was in the lab.
Dio knocked on the lab's door, and after hearing no answer what so ever, Dio opened the door. He then saw that Shuri was so immersed on her research while wearing a headphone.
Dio then walked over and tapped Shuri's shoulder to gain her attention.
"What are you doing here?" Shuri said surprisedly.
"I already knocked on the door, but apparently, you are too immersed in your work!" Dio said with a smirk on his face.
"But that is not why I am here. Apparently, you are walking at the wrong time, and Wanda wants me to apologize for having you see our private time." Dio said awkwardly.
"Well, it doesn't matter, really. I only saw you guys kissing. It was common here." Shuri said calmly, although she was a little bit flustered.
"Well, nice knowing that Wakanda is not one of those countries that banned PDA. But may I ask why are you searching for me?" Dio said with a smile on his face.
Shuri was startled as Dio bluntly asked what she was doing.
"Mmm, My brother's coronation will be scheduled soon, and I want to invite you to come and watch the ceremony," Shuri said confidently. She was relieved to come up with a somewhat decent answer.
"I heard that King's coronation was special here. It seems only the major tribes are qualified to attend the ceremony. Are we, outsiders, qualified to attend that too?" Dio asked curiously.
"Well, that might be the case, but there is no explicit rule stating that the outsiders aren't allowed to observe the ceremony. But you may be right; I will discuss this with T'challa and mother." Shuri said honestly.
"If by any means, we could go and observe the coronation, just come over and tell me," Dio said while smiling warmly.
Shuri blushed and nodded her head. At first, he wanted to confront Dio about what he did in the past, but she lost her cool after seeing such an intimate moment. She never expected that things would be this complicated..

476 Child Temper
A few days later, Nakia, T'challa's childhood friend, returned to Wakanda.
"Dear Queen, her royal highness, it is time to celebrate in happiness. Let's forget our grief for a moment." Nakia said as she greeted the queen.
Nakia saw through the queen's sadness of losing the late king.
"Nakia, it's great to see you can return in time for the coronation." The queen said while changing her facial expression.
At the same time, Shuri saw her brother entered the throne room and realised that her brother was staring wantonly at Nakia.
"Brother, take a picture; it would last longer!" Shuri teased T'challa casually.
"Your highness, that was inappropriate right now." Okoye reprimanded T'challa.
She was the royal guard captain, and she was already like another family member for T'challa and Shuri.
"I know, you guys could be annoying sometimes!" T'challa said annoyedly.
He forced a smile and signed for the guards that guarded the throne room to wait outside for a while.
"You are still the same as always, I see. I didn't expect our princess would still babysit you like this." Nakia teased.
T'challa just laughed at Nakia's remark as he couldn't deny it. Without the presence of the guards around him, he could freely exchange banter with his family member.
"Well, if anything, I still have to upgrade your suit and your bracelet!" Shuri said to T'challa.
She knew that T'challa would always forget something like that.
"Why would you upgrade it now? It worked just fine as it was." T'challa said confusedly.
"That again? How many times do I need to tell you that a tool needs to be improved constantly!" Shuri said annoyedly.
"Okay, okay, no need to yell!" T'challa said with a flustered face.
"Well, that is because you keep ignoring my words! But you know, I know better than you, hehehe." Shuri said as she took T'challa's necklace and bracelet casually.
"Your ceremonial dress would be ready soon; I am working on the finishing touch right now. I can't wait how it would look on you!" Shuri said teasingly.
But the queen immediately glared at Shuri, knowing that her remark was inappropriate.
Shuri realised the queen was glaring and immediately apologized to the queen and her brother.
"By the way, can we invite others to attend the ceremony?" Shuri asked again.
"Others? You didn't mean the outsiders, did you?" T'challa asked with a frown on his face.
"They are your guest! I think it should be okay to let them witness your glorious moment together." Shuri said, trying her best to convince her brother and her mother, the queen.
"Is it really your true intention?" T'challa asked questionably.
"What else could it be? If you don't want them there, just be frank about it." Shuri said with a frown on her face.
"Shuri, is this one of your jokes? You know that there are no outsiders ever allowed to witness such an important event since our ancestor day! Do you want to embarrass your brother?" the queen said solemnly.
"Well, there are no written rules about it. We have been living in seclusion all this time, but nothing ever stated that we couldn't bring outsiders to our country. Now that brother finally found a leeway, why don't we create our new culture as well?" Shuri retorted.
"You are being unreasonable! You'd better keep that idea to yourself for now!" the queen said annoyedly.
"You always act this way; in the end, we would never move forward!" Shuri said angrily and left the throne room, leaving everyone bewildered by her attitude.
"I am worried about that child. She has already reached adulthood but still acts like a child!"
"Relax, mother. As her brother, I would never let Shuri take the wrong path." T'challa said assuredly.
"You know, I am proud of you, and I believe that your father would do too." The queen said with a smile on her face."Are you still mad at mother and me?" T'challa asked Shuri while trying out the clothes that Shuri has made in her laboratory.
Seeing that she didn't talk at all, T'challa knew that she was still a little bit upset, "As a princess of Wakanda, you should know how important the coronation ceremony and how many secrets that the Black Panther must keep hidden from the outsiders! I do believe that those people wouldn't do us any harm, but there is no guarantee everything would go well either!" T'challa said as he tried to explain things to his sister.
"But I accidentally invited them! I can't go back on my words now!" Shuri said frustratedly.
"By them, did you mean that guy? Did he admit what he did in the past?" T'challa asked curiously.
Shuri just remained silent as she knew that Dio hadn't admitted anything, but Shuri's silence only made T'challa laugh as he realised what has happened.
"I don't understand what you saw in him, but I assure you that I wouldn't make you lose face in front of him," T'challa said confidently.
"Really? You promise?" Shuri asked brightly.
"Yeah, I still can't let them attend the ceremony, but we can make our own little ceremony later for them!" T'challa said confidently.
"Are we going to deceive them, brother?" Shuri asked surprisedly.
"Don't make me sound like a bad guy here! One was for our country's internal business, and the other was for the outsiders. As long as they don't know about the real one, that doesn't count as deceiving at all." T'challa said confidently.
"Alright, I would believe what you said for now," Shuri said as she let go of the matter.
"But, since we already at the topic, what did you really think about that guy? You have searched for him for all these years, and now that you have found him, you seem to be more assertive than usual!" T'Challa asked teasingly.
"Me, no! of course, all I wanted was to resolve our bad blood, you know! He doesn't seem like a bad guy!" Shuri said embarrassedly.
"But he wouldn't admit it, would he?" T'challa said teasingly.
T'challa has received some intel about Dio from Tony as they were allied for a while, thus making him suspect Dio was the one who stole the Vibranium and kidnapped Shuri in the past, but he still had some doubts then.
But after seeing what Dio was capable of himself, he was convinced that Dio was really the thief in the past!
"Yeah, he didn't admit anything. because of that, we couldn't do anything to him!" Shuri was annoyed.
"Do you really want to make that guy work as a miner for his crime? Let me tell you in advance that Dio is a monster! He is unbelievably strong; his alien technology is beyond our own technology! So, right now, I was thinking about how to form an alliance with him." T'challa admitted.
Shuri was relaxed after hearing T'challa was aiming to cooperate with Dio, and she immediately got a good idea.
Seeing that a playful smirk was clear on his sister's face, T'challa chuckled as he knew what would happen next!
He knew that Shuri had some kind of unrequited feelings towards Dio because that was just how Shuri was!
She always tried hard to pry into something that she didn't quite understand!

477 Sunflower Seeds 2 Hand Shield
In the training room that T'challa has provided, Steve felt embarrassed after witnessing Dio's power firsthand!
He was sparring against Dio after acquiring his new shield, but it didn't seem to matter!
"Stop! Let's take a break for a minute!" Steve said as he gasped for air from exhaustion.
"What? We've only practiced for a little while!" Dio said as he seemed fine while Steve was covered in sweat.
Dio took the shield from Steve and tried to use it himself, but Dio found it too light for his taste.
"Your habits haven't changed. That's why you are unable to improve yourself!" Dio said with a frown on his face.
Steve kept saying that the shield was way too different from his usual shield, but he never complained to Shuri as he heard Shuri's opinion about the shield's improvement.
The shield wasn't round like his old one, it was created more oval-shaped to increase its offensive capabilities, but because of that, Steve could no longer hide behind his shield anymore!
Shuri created this shield in hopes that Steve would fight aggressively in the future.
Steve has agreed to such an idea in the making process, but now he kept complaining that the shield wasn't the same as it was used to.
Because of that, Steve kept saying that he didn't feel like the Captain America he used to. He felt like he wasn't the same person at all!
"Sometimes I felt jealous of the others Avenger, you know. Especially for people like Thor, who didn't need to think much of anything. Whatever he did, people would always know that it was him!" Steve said while contemplating his action.
"Don't lump me with that guy! Compared to him, I have to work hard to get to where I am today!" Dio said casually.
He then threw the shield back to Steve, who looked surprised at what Dio said just now, but Dio just shook his head. He didn't want to explain nor tell a story of his life to Steve now.
Maybe Steve thought that Dio had it good, but in reality, Dio was the most hardworking guy in the group!
Ever since he got the Hamon Energy, he has been training his Hamon Technique until it basically became second nature to him!
People might think that Dio was slacking off, but in reality, he was practising all day long!
The power of Hamon Energy was fully integrated into his body now, strengthening him physically and mentally.
Even if, by any chance, he lost [the world, Dio knew that he would be on top again in no time as long as he still had his Hamon Energy!
So, Dio and Steve continued their training, and after two rounds, they were interrupted.
"Three days from now, T'challa's formal coronation ceremony will be held in the palace. We hoped that you could attend the ceremony then." Shuri said casually as she entered the training ground.
"Of course, we will be there! Do we have something that we need to know by then? Maybe like a dress code or a gift that we need to bring, perhaps?" Steve asked as he agreed to come.
"There would be people attending to your care. They will tell you of what you need to do there." Shuri said calmly.
She didn't answer Steve's question as she knew her brother didn't need any gift.
But after hearing everything Shuri had to say, Dio wasn't certain of the ceremony itself!
"Are you sure the ceremony would be inside the Palace?"
"Yeah, I am sure! What's wrong?" Shuri asked nonchalantly.
Although she felt guilty, having to lie like this, it was for the best!
"It's probably nothing. It's just that it doesn't seem to be the same ceremony that I was thinking of," Dio said, acting like he was just thinking of something else.
Shuri sighed as she knew that Dio had caught on to her lies, "In truth, there is a tradition of the royal challenge before the coronation ceremony, but it was for Wakandans. I hope you understand our circumstances."
Shuri's lie probably would pass hadn't Dio knew about Wakanda more than any other people inside this room!
But of course, Dio wouldn't burst Shuri's bubble by thinking that no outsiders would know about her countries.
"Oh, I don't know about that, but sure, I understand that it was a sacred procedure," Dio said with a smile on his face.
Shuri just nodded her head as she was relieved that Dio would ask her more about the issues. But she suddenly remembered her brother's goal to get on Dio's good side, and thus she couldn't contain her inquisition nature.
"So, what do you think of our technologies?" Shuri asked curiously.
"It is very advanced. I believe that Wakanda should be the most powerful country in the world!" Dio said praisingly.
"Are you interested in forming an alliance with us? I heard that you have an unusual alien technology; we can exchange technologies, you know!" Shuri said as she couldn't contain her curiosity anymore.
Dio was a little bit surprised by Shuri's inquiries as he didn't quite understand whether it was Shuri's own curiosity or T'challa's idea.
However, he found the idea was quite ideal. He found that Wakanda's technology was quite inventive and efficient.
But still, there were some technologies that he couldn't expose to anyone, like the Dark Elves' stealth tech, implosion grenade, and also the existence of the Power Gem.
It was not because Dio couldn't trust T'challa and Shuri, but because the impact of those techs was far too powerful that Dio himself wasn't confident if he was up against those who could use these techs efficiently!

478 Reach Cooperation
When Dio realised that Shuri wanted to use Wakanda's most advanced remote control technology as a negotiating piece in exchange for Dio's partnership, Dio could only smile.
Shuri thought Dio didn't believe in Wakanda's remote control technology, but the truth was quite different from what she thought.
Dio had the remote-control tech from Sovereign, and Nothing could best Sovereign when it came to remote control tech!
Wakanda's remote control tech couldn't even be used in space just yet!
"You don't have to. I already have a remote control tech of my own. It was quite an interesting sight as I could control hundreds of ships with no restriction of distance!" Dio said confidently.
"That couldn't be possible! How could you send a signal that covered everywhere?" Shuri said with surprise on her face.
As far as she knew, Wakanda had the best remote control tech on earth, but she still had a hard time covering the signals at certain places on earth.
That was the most Wakanda could do for now, so space was out of the question!
"Nothing is impossible! This is the way the Sovereign Planets fight their war. This tech was made so that none of their people had to suffer due to war! When you are ready to explore the galaxy, you would know whether I'm telling the truth or not." Dio said casually.
Even though Shuri had no way to ascertain what Dio just said, she decided to believe it. She hoped that Wakanda would achieve a breakthrough on space travel soon!
"Then you have this Sovereign tech?" Shuri asked curiously.
"Those Sovereign people were notoriously arrogant. They once came to me for trouble, but because of that, I persuaded them to give me their technology for war compensation. Are you interested in their tech?" Dio asked with a smirk on his face.
Dio was telling the truth, but the look on Shuri's face said it all. She felt like Dio was only bragging about his feat.
But she didn't know that everything Dio said so far was indeed the truth and the fact that Dio even had a planet of his own that he has already armed heavily to retaliate against any kind of attack!
"If the technology you said indeed exists right now, what price did you want for them?" Shuri asked curiously.
"To tell you the truth, I didn't know which of your tech would be useful to me," Dio said honestly.
Wakanda indeed had many advanced technologies, but it failed to compete with the same kind of technology from another planet!
Furthermore, Wakanda's advanced health care had little to no benefit to Dio as he already had his Hamon Energy and several Stands that could recover any injury for him!
But after hearing Dio's word, Shuri frowned. She couldn't believe it!
Dio didn't seem to want anything from Wakanda, while the whole world would do anything to get their hands on Wakanda's tech.
She immediately left in panic to recollect her thoughts, and at the same time, Steve looked at Dio with a sigh.
"Couldn't you be a little bit more sympathetic?"
"I could have done that, but it wouldn't make the situation any better! She wants to form an alliance with me, so I have to be honest about what she has to offer." Dio said honestly.Three days later, it is time for the ceremony. T'challa, who already received the recognition of all tribes in Wakanda, drank the Heart-Shaped Grass potion to receive the Black Panther's real power.
And, of course, this was just a formal ceremony, where all the outsiders were welcomed to join.
Everything was prepared in western style as there was a buffet, champagne, and several people giving speeches to congratulate the new king.
But, it couldn't fool Dio as he already knew how the real King of Wakanda's coronation worked. Nonetheless, it was always good to have a banquet to celebrate this eventful day.
Of course, Dio gifted several rare metals that he found on other planets to the new King of Wakanda.
T'challa learned about the value of these metals, and therefore he gifted Dio with a big volume of Vibranium to return the favour.
At the same time, Dio regretted his choice for not gifting the Asteroid Fragment that was sitting inside the Dark Battleship warehouse.
The Asteroid Fragment was heavier than his earlier gift and didn't serve any particular use for him, and it was none of his concern regarding what Wakanda would do with it!
After the banquet, it wasn't Shuri who approached Dio to talk about the alliances, but T'challa himself!
He talked about many things and finally reached a consensus that Dio would trade the remote control tech with Wakanda health tech and some supersonic weapons.
This was just the initial trade as Wakanda needed to verify the authenticity of Dio's tech before they could determine its value.
But Dio didn't really care as he could reverse engineer Wakanda's tech later in Hamon and sell it to others to get a profitable income!

479 I Want That Throne
A few days later, T'challa was chasing after Ulysses Claw, wearing his new Black Panther suit in South Korea.
Ulysses Claw was the only one, other than Dio, who successfully stole the Vibranium from Wakanda.
But unlike Dio, who resolved the incident without any casualties, Ulysses Claw was actually killed several Vibranium miners in Wakanda before his escape!
Furthermore, Ulysses also created a prosthetic arm from Vibranium that could create a soundwave capable of killing a person!
But he was unfortunate enough to lose his hands in the first place from Ultron's attack. Not only that, but Ultron also took every single Vibranium that Ulysses had stored in his secret warehouse before it left Ulysses dying.
He no longer had any Vibranium to make a good life out of, so Ulysses started to steal from Wakanda again!
He tried to rob as many Vibranium from any Wakanda-related Museum and sold them at a high price to any underground buyer!
That was all Dio heard from Shuri as she went on rambling at T'challa's reckless behaviour.
Although this was a secret information, Shuri couldn't help herself as she was annoyed that the King himself was going out to deal with a mere thief!
Dio shook his head as he realised that Shuri was the only one who had some sort of rationality in this kingdom.
Hadn't T'challa listened to his sister well, Wakanda might've been long gone!
Not only that, but T'challa also started a car chase on a bustling street of Busan. However, T'challa failed to kill the criminal.
But Dio was a little bit surprised to hear that the CIA's agent Everett Ross wasn't fatally wounded, and therefore, T'challa didn't bring him to Wakanda.
Otherwise, it would be Shuri's time to shine as she would show off Wakanda's health technological advancement.
But the good news was T'challa has successfully retrieved the Vibranium that would be sold to the black market. Still, T'challa was annoyed that he failed to finish off Ulysses Claw this time!
Not too long after that, a man came to Wakanda while bringing Ulysses Claw's body in a body bag!"We don't welcome outsiders here!" W'kabi said as he was stationed at the border.
"An outsider? No, I have proof that I am a local!" Eric said as he showed the inside of his lips, where a Wakandan Symbol was tattooed with fluorescent ink.
"I've never seen you before!" W'kabi said as he frowned.
He has never heard of any Wakandan who was still outside the country at this moment, but the symbol couldn't be faked!
"Isn't this enough to prove my identity?" Eric said innocently.
"We will see about it later!" W'kabi said solemnly as he immediately brought Eric inside the country to further inquiries.
Whether or not the man before him was lying, W'kabi would know about it later!
"Here, I brought you a present! I have heard that Wakanda wants this guy dead!" Eric said as he opened the body bag in front of W'kabi, revealing Ulysses' dead body!When Eric was brought into Wakanda and passed the body bag to the guards, Wakanda's tribe leaders and King T'challa immediately assembled to hold a meeting about Eric's origin.
The tribes' leaders wanted to know whether or not Eric was a real Wakandan or just an impostor!
But T'challa already knew about the truth and chose to remain silent while staring at the ring on his finger. The guards finally brought Eric to the throne room, and T'challa immediately spoke.
"Speak your intentions."
"I'm standing in your palace now to tell you that I killed the demon who stole your Vibranium and murdered your people while your king keeps failing to do something so simple!" Eric said tauntingly.
T'challa immediately approached Eric aggressively after hearing his taunting words and whispered, "I don't care even if you really bring Ulysses Claw's body back, but I know who you are! So, tell me, what do you want!" T'challa asked coldly.
"I want the throne!" Eric said confidently that everyone in the room was surprised and began to laugh.
"T'challa, you don't have to waste any more of our time hearing this child's word!" the Former queen said worriedly as she noticed who the man was.
But it was already too late!
"Child? You know who I am, so why don't you tell everyone here who I am!" Eric said tauntingly to the former queen.
"You are Eric Stevens, an African-American spy and mercenary with a code name, Killmonger. That is your identity!" Shuri said confidently.
"Ahh, but that is the thing, Her Royal Highness, that wasn't my real name! why don't you ask what my real name was?" Eric said tauntingly once more.
T'challa was dumbfounded and turned a little pale as he couldn't say anything, but Ramonda could no longer endure it, "Take this man down! How dare he acts rudely to the King and Princess!" but the other was overcome with curiosity, and therefore, W'kabi immediately asked.
"Who are you?"
"I am N'jadaka, son of Prince N'jobu!" Eric said confidently that immediately surprised everyone in the throne room!

480 Panthers Coup
"I found the Panther paw print on my father's body when he died. I knew instantly that it was a staged murder! You are not the son of a king, but the son of a murderer!"
"That's bullshit!" everyone else said, but the silent W'kabi told them differently.
"I am afraid that is the truth!" W'kabi said solemnly.
He then nudged Eric, and Eric immediately pulled out a golden ring that was the exact replica of T'challa's golden ring!
"You truly are the son of Prince N'jobu!" the clan leader said at the same time as they recognized the ring of the ruler's blood!
"I want to exercise my rights to claim the throne as the descendant of the royal family!" Eric shouted confidently.
"You don't have to do it, T'challa!" Ramonda, T'challa's mother, said worriedly.
"But, as the rightful son of Prince N'jobu, he has the right to declare the duel!" W'kabi said solemnly.
As everyone started to argue over Eric's rights to challenge T'challa, T'challa finally gave his word.
"I will accept your challenge!" T'challa said solemnly, and with this word, the Black Panther ceremony began anew!A few hours later, Princess Shuri came to Dio's and the other avenger's room with haste while her face was still decorated with tears!
"What happened? Why are you in such a rush!" Steve asked curiously.
"T'challa was killed! A new king would rule over Wakanda, and I am afraid you all would be banished from Wakanda soon!" Shuri said helplessly.
"What? T'challa is dead?" Steve said with a disbelief tone.
"There is no time to explain! Come with me, or you all will be in danger!" Shuri said hurriedly, Dio immediately followed her as he didn't expect the story of the Black Panther would be changed quickly, but he at least knew that T'challa was still alive!
Seeing that Dio followed Shuri without any question, everyone else also did the same thing. The team immediately escaped from the palace, and Dio suggested that they used his Dark Battleship to escape, to which the former queen and Shuri immediately complied.
At the same time, Eric was receiving the full power of Black Panther. He didn't care about what the others might do at the moment, as all he wanted was to get the Black Panther's power and exact his revenge.
Until the Dark Battleship fully escaped, Shuri could only see the palace from afar with tears in her eyes.
In the process, Ramonda explained the situation to the rest of the Avengers with every single detail as she knew that the Avengers was the only hope left for her to retrieve the rightful throne to her descendant!
Dio already knew what happened, so he didn't ask or say anything to the former queen. He originally wanted to stop Eric before he could enter Wakanda, but he didn't expect Eric to come this fast!
"You are right to mourn about T'challa's death, but what do you want to do now?" Steve asked curiously.
"You are all T'challa's friend! I know that Eric was a bad guy, and I hope that you all will help me avenge his death!" Ramonda said tearfully.
Shuri and Nakia were a little bit surprised as they knew that the Black Panther ceremony was held fairly.
Tribes' members would never help them while it was clear that Eric won the duel fair and square!
That was also the reason why Shuri immediately went to Dio and the Avenger as she knew that Dio wouldn't ignore their words like the rest of the tribes would.
"T'challa is a good person, but according to your story, the person who killed him was the current rightful king of Wakanda. It means that we would have to take down the entire Wakanda just to avenge T'challa!" Steve said solemnly while he saw that Dio was still silent.
Shuri was also silent as she knew that her mother's request was far-fetched. If the new king exploited his authority and mobilized out the soldiers, the innocent Wakandan would be at risk of becoming a pawn to an unnecessary war!
At that moment, Dio finally spoke, "I don't think that we have to plan anything for now! If you want to kill Eric, you just have to win in the ceremony's duel!" Dio said casually.
"But the only one who can challenge the king is now dead! There is no one else qualified to challenge the throne!" Ramonda said frustratedly.
"No, he is right. I am also the direct descendant of the royal family! I also have the right to challenge the throne!" Shuri said confidently.
"Shuri! You can't do that! There is no way you would win against that villain!" Ramonda said crudely to Shuri, but she saw the determination on Shuri's eyes!
"Your courage is commendable, but it's just utterly stupid! You clearly fail to recognize your own capabilities! If your brother fails to win the duel, would you, the one who was obviously weaker than your brother, win said duel?" Dio said casually.
"Damn, you are right! But I believe you have something in mind, right?" Shuri said as she realised Dio's true intention.
"You are smart; at least I will not argue with that! I have a reason to believe that T'challa is still alive, and if I am wrong, I will give you the power to defeat Eric!" Dio said with a smile on his face..

481 Save People
"You said my brother wasn't dead, right?" Shuri asked as she tried to confirm Dio's word.
"I didn't say that, but T'challa might be still alive! Although the chance is slim, we shouldn't give up hope that easily." Dio said solemnly.
But it was clear in Steve's eyes that it was a bad idea to blindly give false hope to the family as they would only experience another despair as they saw T'challa's body later.
"Steve, I know what you are thinking, and I hope that you would know better! After all, you've already experienced such a miracle. Steve nodded in response as he couldn't say anything, to begin with. That way, Shuri and the rest of the Wakandan on Dio's ship hoped that T'challa really survived the fall!
They finally reached the bottom of the cliff, and Dio slowly navigated through the water current.
Dio knew that the water current wasn't promising, seeing that it was covered with jagged rock, and the water itself had so many whirlpools.
A normal person would never survive such a fall, but Dio knew that with T'challa's training as the Black Panther, he would be able to survive the fall, at least barely!
Dio also used the Dark Battleship's searching device to help track T'challa's fall. As they traced the river bank and the surrounding water, Shuri was excited that they couldn't found T'challa's body, meaning that T'challa's probability of surviving was higher!
Steve, who also searched for T'challa's trace old-school style, finally reported that he found some footprints dragging something like a cart in the nearby riverbank.
"It has to be someone that saw T'challa! The person might also save him from his death!" Ramonda said hopefully.
Dio nodded and quickly followed the river bank to see where it would lead.
Apparently, it wouldn't take long as they immediately found a small village near the foot of the mountain. It was the Jabari Tribe!
Ramonda immediately recognized someone being carried by a cart in the middle of the village, and it was T'challa!
"It's T'challa! It's T'challa, my child!" she shouted joyfully.
The fisherman of the Jabari Tribe immediately took a fighting stance, but as soon as they saw Ramonda and Shuri, they lowered their guard.
"I saved him. I have to bring him back to Tribe Chief!" the fisherman that brought T'challa with his cart said solemnly.
"Thank you, warrior of Jabari Tribe! Thank you for saving my son!" Ramonda said as she bowed down to the fisherman.
The fisherman smiled happily as he suggested that Ramonda and the others followed him to the chief's house."How is he?"
"His situation is bad! He must be treated immediately. We have to take him to my laboratory. I will treat him there!" Shuri said urgently.
"Your laboratory? And how would you plan to go there? He wouldn't survive the trouble of the journey with such a risk!" Dio said as he surveyed T'challa's body with life magnetism overdrive.
Ramonda immediately cried again as she saw her son in a helpless state.
"We have to find another way! How about the Heart-Shaped Grass?" Dio said as he tried to lead the plot to where it should be.
"Heart-Shaped Grass? What does it have to do with our current situation?" Shuri asked curiously.
"Doesn't black panther have a healing factor? He might survive that way!" Dio said confidently.
Shuri's eyes immediately brightened with hope but dimmed not too long after.
"Heart-Shaped Grass was cultivated at the back of the Hill in the Palace. We clearly can't go there!" Shuri said with a sad expression.
Dio was startled as he heard Shuri's word. The story was all messed up!
Dio tried to think of the reason where it was started and finally realised that Shuri and Ramonda originally wanted to ask M'baku, the Jabari Tribe chief, to fight against Eric, using the Heart-Shaped Grass as a bargaining chip!
That means, now that Shuri never thought about the Jabari tribe, she never considered making M'baku the next Black Panther!
This was the fundamental change to the original plot! So, knowing that T'challa would never get back the Heart-Shaped Grass the original plot intended, Dio had no other way besides healing T'challa back to shape himself!
"Bring him inside the Dark Battleship; I will heal him myself!" Dio said as he sighed exasperatedly.
This is why Steve and the rest of the Avenger didn't seem concerned with T'challa's condition as they knew that T'challa would never die as long as Dio was still here looking after him. But the Wakandan still looked troubled as they were confused with Dio's request.
"Relax, that guy would definitely heal him back to shape! He could save someone from death's door as long they are still breathing!" Steve said solemnly with a smile on his face to Ramonda.
Shuri and Ramonda didn't have any other option but to trust Steve's word, so they returned to the Dark Battleship with T'challa's weak body. Inside the battleship, Dio immediately took out the small snail, placed it on top of T'challa's body, and delightful golden light brimming with life immediately merged into T'challa's body!
But at the same time, Dio knew that it wasn't enough! T'challa's condition was so grave that vital energy alone wouldn't save him.
But at the same time, Dio discovered small purple energy residing inside T'challa's body that devoured the life energy that Dio transferred!
Dio immediately realised that he was looking straight at the origin of Black Panther's power!

482 Just Pay Back Wakanda's Love
To be honest, Dio couldn't understand the Heart-Shaped Grass' complex origin. It could give someone the Black Panther's power, while consuming it again would take away the power!
And now, the purple energy that was clearly the Black Panther's power inside T'challa was consuming the life energy that Dio gave to save his life!
Dio sighed and injected the life energy directly from [Gold Experience] to T'challa. The Black Panther's power inside T'challa began to grow as it consumed the life energy at a very significant rate, but it also immediately treated T'challa's injury.
Dio found it interesting as he inspected what the purple energy was doing inside T'challa's body.
At the same time, everyone else couldn't see what Dio's doing, but they could see the golden light shining in Dio's hand, and T'challa's complexion gradually returning to normal.
Everyone realised that Dio's treatment was working quite well.
After a minute or so, Dio injected some life energy into the snail so it could fragment itself again later and de-summoned the [Gold Experience] immediately right after.
Dio sighed again as this time he consumed 200.000 Hamon energy to save T'challa!
Dio wouldn't do such a thing if he weren't the Black Panther!
Right after Dio de-summoned [Gold Experience, T'challa opened his eyes. Shuri immediately rushed toward him with excitement and joy as she saw her brother finally opened his eyes again!
However, none of the Avengers seemed relieved or amazed at all as they already knew from the beginning that T'challa would be saved.
"Where are we?" T'challa asked as he smiled at the three most important women in his life.
Although he didn't know what happened after he fell from the cliff, he didn't expect that he would survive!
So, Shuri immediately began to fill T'challa in with what happened after that.
T'challa wasn't surprised to hear that Eric has become the new king and gained the Black Panther's power.
However, hearing Dio helped the royal family escape along with his search and treatment was surprising for T'challa.
"Thank you! But can I get a blanket or a piece of clothing here?" T'challa asked Shuri awkwardly.
Shuri sighed, but she didn't bring any towel and gave a necklace instead that was supposed to be T'challa's new Black Panther suit to T'challa.
And therefore, T'challa was back with his Black Panther Suit, looking gallant as ever!
"I will take back my throne! Although it was rude of me to ask this to my guest, I hope that you all will help me! I can't promise anything to you now, but I will entrust with my life in your hands in the future!" T'challa said to Dio and the rest of the Avenger sincerely.
Although he believed that as long as the news that he was still alive reached the royal palace, Eric would undoubtedly do anything to get rid of T'challa. T'challa believed that Dio's help was paramount for him to get his throne back as there was no way he could fight against the Wakanda royal army by himself!
T'challa knew that his request was too much, and therefore, even if Dio and the Avenger ended up not helping him, he would always recognize them as his friend.
"Well, it was not a bad thing to befriend a king. After all, I don't want Wakanda that has the most advanced equipment in this world, falling into the hand of a murderer!" Steve said casually.
Sam and Bucky nodded as they would always join up with Steve, while the rest was waiting for Dio to agree.
Aside from Barton, who has made his way back to his home as he realised that he was no longer a wanted man, everyone considered Dio, their leader.
"Let's just say that we are even after this. Don't bring it up again in the future!" Dio said as he sighed exasperatedly.
Everyone was confused by what Dio was talking about, but T'challa and Shuri immediately knew what Dio was talking about!
"So it really was you! You finally admitted it!" T'challa said excitedly.
"But, you are the only one who was able to reclaim your throne! We will try our best to secure your path, but the rest is up to you!" Dio said solemnly, ignoring T'challa's excitement and Shuri wonderment.
"Okay, you won! I will do as you say!" T'challa said with a smile on his face.
Steve and the others didn't really know what happened in the past.
They clearly look puzzled, but Dio wouldn't tell them anything as he was quite embarrassed by what he had done in the past.
So, after discussing what they would do, it was decided that they would have one night rest and settle the score with Eric tomorrow!
With the presence of T'challa, the former king, all they had to do was cause a diversion and drew the attention of Eric's Royal Guard and let T'challa fights against Eric himself!
That way, T'challa's reign wouldn't be questioned by the Wakandan later on!
The only thing that Dio and the Avengers had to watch out for was refraining from killing too many soldiers in this battle.. After all, they're simply following their king's orders!

483 One Defeat
The next day, the newly appointed King Eric was almost impatient to attack the outside world!
He has already packed many boxes of weapons ready to be transported to the outside world to initiate war into the Fighter Jet!
"Everything went according to plan!" W'kabi said as he reported back to Eric.
He. W'kabi, the frontier tribe chief in Wakanda, was eager to make Wakanda known to the world, but because he was T'challa's best friend, he was forced to behave conservatively.
"Have the spies been notified?" Eric asked casually.
Although he knew that Wakanda is a powerful nation, he didn't realise the extent of Wakanda's power until he became the King!
"Yes, but there were some spies who oppose our mission. But the one on London, New York, and Beijing were on standby!"
"Alright, then we would proceed as planned," Eric said casually.
"After seeing our weaponry and what it could do, the world will fear us soon!"
"What about the Avengers? We are too late to stop them from fleeing the other night." W'kabi asked curiously.
"They're not that formidable when it comes to numbers. They are just some people who have earned an adequate reputation, but now, they've already lost those reputations. I don't think they would interfere with our plan." Eric said dismissively.
But suddenly, an explosion happened outside of the palace.
Everyone immediately looked at what has happened outside and saw that a huge battleship appeared out of thin air.
"It's the Avenger's ships! They are back!" W'kabi shouted worriedly.
Eric frowned as he didn't expect this turn of events. It was clear that the Avenger was looking for trouble!
But just as he wanted to order the soldiers to retaliate, a voice that he wanted the least to hear shouted on the hall!
"Eric! I am back. Let's pick up where we left off!" T'challa shouted as he came towards the Throne room wearing his Black Panther outfit.
"It's T'challa!"
"He's alive !?"
Everyone was taken aback by T'challa's sudden appearance but immediately calmed down since the frown on Eric's face was clearer and clearer, "You are a sore loser! The challenge is already over, and I am now the official King of Wakanda!"
"But apparently, you didn't kill me off just yet!" T'challa said tauntingly.
Clearly annoyed, Eric immediately ordered the royal guard to capture T'challa and destroy the battleship!
Most people obeyed the order and immediately took arms against T'challa, but Okoye, who believed that a killer like Eric didn't deserve the position as a King of Wakanda, chose to stand with T'challa!
As a result, T'challa was now with Okoye, fighting against the royal guards and Eric! But it was obvious that T'challa was at a disadvantage as W'kabi joined the fight.
But suddenly, a blue blur appeared, and the Avenger arrived one after another.
"Now it seems we're evenly matched!" Quicksilver said with a smirk on his face.
He brought Steve and the rest of the Avenger except for Mantis to the throne room.
"Well, I am sorry for the trouble!" T'challa said as he smiled under his mask.
T'challa knew that even if Wakanda technology was advanced, it still couldn't defeat the Avengers. He knew this firsthand as he struggled just to capture Bucky earlier.
On the other hand, Dio, who didn't show up in the throne room, was sitting in the Dark Battleship, shooting down as many fighter jets as he could from the air.
The situation has tipped the scale to T'challa's favour.
"W'kabi! It's already too late! You should stop now!" T'challa shouted as he wanted to get his best friend back.
But W'kabi was already too disappointed by T'challa that he didn't want to let go of Eric's plan just yet!
"I can no longer tolerate Wakanda living in the shadow of the world! Although Eric might not be the best King, he would certainly change Wakanda!" W'kabi said confidently.
"He surely would change Wakanda, but it wouldn't be for the better! Does the future of Wakanda not concern you?" T'challa asked worriedly.
At the same time, everyone was fighting everywhere, except for Quicksilver, who came and went as he pleased.
Wanda could use her ability to fend off a bunch of enemies, which was the best scenario as the enemy would end up unconscious. On the other hand, Steve was charging forward with his shield, mowing down the enemy in his path, rendering them immobile, while Sam provided support from the sky.
The most obvious one out of them was Scott, who suddenly transformed into a giant and started to kick the soldiers away!
With just one kick from Scott, the soldiers lost their will to fight! The energy barrier that was provided by the cape that was also infused with Vibranium was rendered useless!
Seeing the disadvantage he was currently in, Eric realized he was underestimating the Avengers too much!
The Heart-Shaped Grass and the Black Panther's power indeed increased his combat effectiveness, but it was clear that he couldn't handle the power of those monsters!
So, the only thing that he was thinking at the moment was to escape!

484 Death and Change
After realizing that the Royal Guards wouldn't be able to hold the Avenger off, Eric immediately escaped from the throne room in haste without hesitation.
He thought that this day would be the pinnacle of his life, but he never expected that there are people who would spoil his plan.
But as he was about to board the Fighter Jet nearby, the Dark Battleship immediately destroyed it!
At the same time, Eric's Black Panther suit detected a danger from behind and immediately rolled around to the side to save his life.
He looked back to his assailant and found that he was almost hacked in two by Dio!
"Don't even think about escaping this place! I will catch you no matter what idea you have to escape. T'challa might spare your life, but I wouldn't be so nice!" Dio said coldly.
"Did you think you can stop me alone?" Eric said annoyedly as he held a knife and a spear in his hands.
"I don't know where that confidence is coming from, but don't lump me in with T'challa!" Dio said coldly.
"Fuck you! I will kill you, loser!" Eric shouted as he rushed towards Dio with his spear, ready to stab Dio in the heart.
Dio sighed and flicked [Reaper's Gaze] to cut Eric's weapons and immediately kicked Eric in the chest, throwing Eric back several meters away.
But Eric immediately got up as the Black Panther suit was protecting him from impact. Apparently, Dio's kick didn't have any effect on him.
"How could you cut a Vibranium Dagger into two!" Eric said as he threw the dagger away in shock.
Now, he only had his spear since Dio's attack didn't hit it earlier. But Eric was still shocked as Vibranium was supposed to be indestructible!
But Eric failed to realize the critical information that Dio's weapon was a perfectly balanced mix of Vibranium and Adamantium.
Dio had never encountered anything that could block [Reaper's Gaze]'s attack nor anything that could damage it!
"Are you willing to surrender now?" Dio said sarcastically.
Eric clenched his teeth and immediately rushed towards Dio again. This time he made up his mind to dodge every attack from Dio as he realised that Dio's scythe was unusual.
Eric was confident in his fighting skill as he was a well-trained martial artist, and now thanks to Heart-Shaped Grass that he consumed, his physical prowess was strengthened beyond what a normal human could achieve.
However, his confidence would soon be shattered by Dio's overwhelming strength.
[Anubis] that was inside [Reaper's Gaze] immediately analysed Eric's fighting style and created a counter move for it almost immediately.
But Dio was not in any hurry and wanted to see how far Eric could go to push him.
Dio didn't want to end the fight too quickly, so he held back, and his strike only cut the Black Panther suit that Eric was wearing while slightly cut Eric's skin, leaving noticeable cut marks.
Although the new Black Panther suit had the ability to regenerate any broken part of the suit immediately, it couldn't heal Eric's injuries beneath the suit!
So, after a few minutes, Eric felt dizzy as he was bathed in his own blood beneath the suit. Had it not because of the Heart-Shaped Grass's power, Eric would have died of blood loss already.
Realizing that Eric wouldn't be able to play anymore, Dio immediately sighed and cut the spear in Eric's hands easily and brandished the scythe under Eric's neck as a way to tell him that he had lost!
Eric, who had lost his ability to fight back, looked horribly upset, but there was nothing he could do about it!
Sometimes, the gap between people's power was too high that there was no point in trying!
As Eric wallowed in his shortcoming, the battle around Wakanda Palace came to an end. The Wakandan Royal Guards and soldiers that Eric has prepared to fend off any possible distraction couldn't win against the Avenger's might.
Even W'kabi, who was still reluctant to realise that he already failed, was defeated by T'challa and brought into custody.
Regardless of the rules, the winner would become the new King as it was a tradition since ancient times!
Seeing that there was nothing they could do, the rest of the Royal Guards and soldiers immediately dropped their weapons as a sign of surrender.
After everything was resolved, T'challa walked towards Dio's side, "Although I already said it before, I have to express my gratitude one more time!" T'challa said thankfully.
"It's okay, this way, we are even! Now, I will let you decide what you want to do with this guy here!" Dio said as he handed Eric to T'challa.
T'challa nodded and immediately took off the Panther necklace on Eric's neck. The Black Panther suit that Eric wears immediately came off, revealing a bloodied Eric beneath it.
"You won, now kill me!" Eric said heavily.
"Maybe we can heal you!" T'challa said with pity in his eyes as he looked at Eric,
"Do you think I will accept that? You think I would be happy while counting hours inside some cell for the rest of my life? No! I don't need your pity, but remember to bury me by the sea!" Eric said with finality on his voice, and with his last strength, Eric reached for the broken spear near his arms and tried to attack T'challa.
T'challa knew that Eric wouldn't be able to harm him in that condition, so he didn't act, but the soldiers who came with T'challa didn't share the same sentiment.
"No, don't attack him!" T'challa shouted as he realised his miscalculation, but it was already too late!
The soldiers had shot Eric with the Sonic Gun several times!
Since Eric didn't have any protection left, he fell directly towards T'challa's arms while the broken spear was still in his hand.
Eric, who had been the King of Wakanda for exactly one day, finally drew his last breath!
But T'challa didn't blame anyone as he only held Eric's body in silence.
T'challa had always understood why his father had to kill his uncle, but after the repeat of history today, T'challa had to make a decision!
He was confused, sad, puzzled, and frustrated, but after all these emotions subsided, all that was left was confidence and determination!
Although Eric and W'kabi's ideas were too radical, they did have a strong reason to act like that!
And T'challa also realized the mistake on his part, and their idea opened his eyes that Wakanda needs to change!
Wakanda could no longer be partial and hid from the world.. Wakanda had to become a country that helped the world to change for the better!

485 The Beggar Worried About The Emperor
With Eric's death, T'challa immediately announced that Wakanda would be open to the public!
Although T'challa knew that his decision would create many problems in the future, he was confident that he had made the right decision!
And so, with such determination, T'challa immediately sat on the throne once more.
Eric was immediately erased from Wakanda's history as he burned all the Heart-Shaped Grass on the mountain behind the Royal Palace.
Now, Wakanda would have to face the crises where the future generation of King wouldn't be able to draw the Black Panther's power!
T'challa also had to call back all the spies that Eric had deployed in his plan to start a war earlier.
Although T'challa was worried that the spies that clearly support Eric earlier would throw a tantrum and cause chaos in other countries, T'challa still had to call them back to assess their perspective on the new Wakanda that T'challa has already planned.
But for now, T'challa could breathe in relief as he knew that not everyone shared the same ambition as Eric.
After spending a few days cleaning the mess that Eric has caused, T'challa pulled some strings and held a global speech in the United States of America while inviting representatives from all countries all around the world.
Although many countries had many questions towards T'challa regarding what a small country in Africa had to say that required all countries to attend, with a single video of T'challa showcasing a little bit of Wakanda's power, every nation was caught in a big surprise, especially USA that thought they were the most advanced nation in the world!After the meeting, T'challa once again showcased Wakanda's power by having Wakanda's state-of-the-art Stealth Jet landed on the street and picked T'challa without being detected by the USA!
With this Stealth Jet, T'challa has cleared any doubts from the countries' presentative on the thought that Wakanda might be lying!
And thus, T'challa showed a bright smile as he achieved a good result!
And, of course, many suspicions towards Wakanda couldn't be avoided.
Since Wakanda has hidden its technological advancement for so long, they would have to deal with relatively troubling matters in the future, like the change in relationships between Wakanda and some other countries. Many countries would also suspect Wakanda was trying to take control of the world if T'challa acted even a little bit aggressively. Of course, the suspicion is definitely necessary.
The news of Wakanda immediately occupied every countries news channel. Nobody in the world ever expected that a continent that was always filled with poverty and many humanitarian problems would be the world-leading technological country!
T'challa knew that the world's hype in Wakanda wouldn't die down anytime soon."Are you really going back now? Although we are no longer a wanted man, people might still treat you with a cold stare." Dio said to Scott as Scott told him that he wanted to return back to New York.
Dio understood that Scott wanted to see his daughter again, but it might not be for the best now.
But Scott's determination to become a good father actually moved Dio a little bit. Because of that, when T'challa decided that he would hold the speech in the USA, Dio and the others decided to take a look and followed T'challa.
"Don't worry. They won't be able to catch me! I really miss my daughter!" Scott said confidently.
Scott didn't regret his decision to join and help the Avenger. He also didn't care about how others looked at him.
All he wanted was to see his daughter again, and maybe Hope would also miss him too.
Dio understood his reasons, so he wouldn't keep Scott inside the Battleship any longer. Dio knew that his actions to destroy the whole army that came to attack him would affect the USA later, but he shouldn't force Scott to share the same fate as him.
"Alright, I will take us all to New York again, but if there is anything bad happened, I will leave you with T'challa. He would make sure that you will see your daughter once a month." Dio said confidently.
"I am sorry for the trouble," Scott said shyly.
He felt bad as he asked too much from Dio right now.
"It's no trouble at all. You helped T'challa to regain his throne, and that alone is already worth the effort! By the way, you should have no money right now, you better come with me, and we will get you some money to buy a gift for your daughter! She will hate you if you come empty-handed!" Dio said with a smile on his face.
"Alright! Thanks a lot, man." Scott said as he was grinning happily.
Dio always hated the idea of giving money to someone without gaining anything in return, but for now, a few measly hundreds of dollars wasn't worth anything anyway..

486 Can Reduce The Patent of No One
Dio once saw a story regarding a farmer who believed that he would become an Emperor one day. It was clear that the farmer was delusional.
Some might say that being a rich person would certainly bring happiness, but that wasn't the case. In fact, rich people rarely appreciated the good things that happened to them.
In Marvel Universe's case, Tony was the one who casually spent so much money without even batting an eye.
Tony didn't care how much he spent because he believed that he would always get that amount back soon enough.
The same could be said to many people out there who put their trust in certain products or companies to invest their money on.
There was no guarantee that their investment would end up profitable, but they surely were confident, if nothing else.
This was why Dio didn't ask T'challa in a roundabout way as he knew that T'challa has already trusted him enough.
T'challa wouldn't suspect Dio at this point, hence wouldn't question Dio's reason.
So, T'challa immediately agreed with Dio's idea and gave Scott $ 10 million to purchase a gift for his daughter.
If T'challa didn't notice the look of embarrassment on Scott's face, T'challa might give a few million more!After Dio let Scott know that Wakanda was a very wealthy country, Scott finally understood and took the money happily.
He knew that if the media found out that he got so much money so easily from T'challa, he would be on everyone's radar.
But then again, Scott never thought of telling anybody. So, Scott immediately went to Wakanda's market to find anything that might make his daughter happy.
But while accompanying Scott to the market, Dio couldn't understand why Scott was looking at wedding dresses while he knew that Scott's daughter was still too young for that.
Was Scott already thinking about the time when her daughter was ready to wear that?
After Dio talked some sense to Scott, he finally let go of his idea to buy everything that Casey may need in the future from now.
But he bought so many toys nonetheless that the amount would easily fill up a room. The amount was still crazy, but Dio let it go as he knew that Scott had a soft spot for his daughter.
After the shopping spree was done, Scott picked some more gifts for his ex-wife. In contrast to his previous shopping spree, now Scott was thinking hard about what to buy and didn't spend much on it.
Scott even took his time to buy a gift for Hope and Hank Pym, which was much better gifts than the gift he bought for his ex-wife.
He knew that he wouldn't be here right now if it were not because of those two.
After bringing back all of his gifts to his room in Wakanda's Palace, Scott immediately shrank their size for a much more convenient size so that it would be easy to bring along later. He even put them all inside a Santa-looking bag.
Although it was not yet Christmas, he knew that his beloved girl would appreciate it nonetheless.
At the end of the day, he still had to sneak up and met with Casey without his ex-wife knowing. It wasn't a problem for Scott as he could just shrink himself later.As they approached Scott's ex-wife's house, Scott immediately shrank himself and bid his farewell to the rest as he wanted to spend the night with his daughter for now.
But as he jumped from the invisible battleship, he felt someone patted his shoulder.
He instantly turned around to see who it was as he was aware that he was currently in Ant-man mode, and that was when he saw Dio, who was the same size as him.
Scott was startled as he didn't expect Dio was able to shrink himself just like him.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Isn't it better to go in together?" Dio said with a smile on his face.
"Dio!" Scott shouted surprisedly. He began to doubt that his Ant-man suit was ineffective, but he noticed that everything was much bigger than himself as he looked around.
"Don't worry; I could only get smaller!" Dio said as he noticed Scott's curious glare.
"Did you also wear an Ant-man suit?" Scott asked curiously, but Scott only saw Dio's casual clothes right now.
"The ability to shrink wasn't exclusive to Ant-man suit, you know," Dio said with a wry smile.
Scott was still in shock as he started to think of other ways to become smaller. But he found no other way to become small without the help of the Pym Particle.
But the real reason Dio could shrink wasn't because of science, but it was because of the help of his Stand!
Stand name: Little Feet
Description: avatars with special abilities to shrink or grow.
Type: Close range power type.
Ability: "Zoom Out"
The user's body could expand or contract freely. In addition, allow the user to shrink an object that was cut by the Stand's fingers!
Attributes:
Destructive power: D
Speed: B
Range: E
Sustainability: A
Precision: D
Growth: C
Evaluation: It has nothing to do with the three-inch golden lotus.
Dio always felt that [Little Feet] is useless for him because compared to Ant-Man's power that retained the user's original strength, [Little Feet] weaken him as he shrunk, which was a disadvantage that Dio couldn't have now.
However, now he knew that it was an exciting way to experience this world occasionally..

487 Furious Father
"Hey, little peanut, how is my pretty little princess' doing?"
"Dad!"
"Hush, don't let your mother hear that I am here."
Looking at how affectionate Scott was towards his daughter, Dio was a little bit bored, but he kept hanging around the room for a while.
He did say that he wanted to experience it by himself, but he still didn't have the commitment to actually marry someone.
"What is this?" Dio said as he saw a black button under Casey's bed.
But as Dio observed and inspected the black button, he realised that it was a concealed spy button that allowed the owner to eavesdrop on the room.
Dio also realised that it was a common item used by the FBI and CIA!
"Although I didn't want to interrupt your father-daughter reunion, we have to go, Scott!" Dio said as he returned back to his original form, startling Casey, who didn't know Dio was also with them.
"What? This is not a visit to jail! If you have somewhere else to go, I will catch on later." Scott said annoyedly.
"Well, sure! But I hope that you could escape the CIA's clutch later." Dio said as he reached under Casey's bed and pulled out the wiretap device from under the bed.
"What? Is this CIA's?"
"Don't tell me this is your first time seeing a wiretap?" Dio said with a frown on his face.
Scott became so much more annoyed and immediately destroyed the wiretap with his hand. He was upset that the CIA dared to invade his daughter's privacy.
"Those people understand that they may make me their enemy, right? This is disgusting! I doubt that this is the only wiretap that they set up inside this room!" Dio said with a frown.
Scott himself was angry and immediately rummaged the entire room.
Although Scott knew that the CIA would lock on his position, he still destroyed all the monitoring devices that he could find.
He found many wiretaps and one pinhole camera and destroyed them all.
"Come on; we have to go! The CIA must be on their way here as we speak. It is best to leave this neighbourhood immediately." Dio said calmly.
He knew how the CIA's modus operandi worked. Even though this was indeed infuriating, there was nothing Dio could have done.
"Little peanut, daddy has to go now. Have fun with all these toys that I brought, and don't forget to give your mother's gifts." Scott said with a smile on his face.
Although his wife has disappointed him so many times, Scott wouldn't hate her as she was the mother of his beautiful daughter.
"I see, bye daddy."
"Bye peanut, daddy will come to see you again soon," Scott said as he and Dio jumped down the window to the garden below.
In the entire way of their escape, Dio could feel Scott's anger. Not that Dio didn't understand why Scott was so angry. After all, Casey was a very sensible little girl.
Plus, Casey was still an underage girl. It was illegal to do such a thing without the parent's consent!
"Dio, you should go on without me first. I will catch up with you later." Scott said casually.
"Did you want to teach some lesson to those agents?" Dio asked curiously.
Although he wasn't fond of Scott's idea, he understood Scott's feelings.
"Would you stop me if I said yes?" Scott asked coldly.
"No, but are you sure you want to do that alone?" Dio asked again.
"Yes, I want to deal with them myself!" Scott said confidently.
Dio patted Scott's shoulder and left without saying another word. He understood that Scott's dignity as a father was being tested, and he also knew that it was useless to convince Scott otherwise. But whatever happened, Dio would back the current Avenger the best he could.
After Dio left, Scott immediately returned to his original size and began to run toward the other direction.
"Scott Lang! Please don't get us wrong. We didn't have any malicious intent. We just want to talk to you." A CIA Agent said as he tried to approach Scott while a dozen or so agents were surrounding Scott with their gun ready.
"Talk to me? Then why would you wiretap and monitor my daughter? That is a complete breach of privacy. Above all else, she is still a little girl!" Scott said angrily.
"That is just a mere protection protocol." The agent said calmly.
"Protection? Then what about all this gun pointed at me? Is this also your way to protect me." Scott said coldly.
"We are sorry, but this is to ensure our own safety. But I guarantee that if you come with us, we would also ensure you the safety of all your family members." The agent said indifferently.
Scott was already disgusted and frustrated that the agent didn't consider his daughter's feelings at all, so he immediately shrank down, disappearing from the Agents' field of view.
"Everyone, be careful! The target has shrunk down, switch to the grid gun, and try to capture him!"
"Understood!"

488 Quantum Field
"You guys think you are capable of handling me by yourself? How naive!" Scott said coldly while he was getting bigger by the second.
But the CIA agents didn't seem to be fazed by what Scott could do.
"Is the laser grid ready to use?"
"Yes, it's already set!"
"Activate it and teach Mr. Scott here a lesson."
"Yes, sir!"
Suddenly, a buzz from an electromagnetic laser transmitter was heard, and the area was covered by blue light.
The CIA agents immediately escaped, while Scott, who didn't know what was happening, was too late to react.
When the blue light finally stopped expanding, Scott was already trapped inside. He tried to walk past the blue light to no avail, and he even tried to attack it, but it was useless no matter what he did.
"Your effort is futile, Mr. Scott! This is a special energy field that was developed to contain Ant-man. You can never get out on your own." The leader agent said indifferently.
Obviously, Scott didn't believe such a thing and tried to dig a hole to escape through the ground, but he soon realised that he was in complete spherical containment as he finally saw the blue light on the ground.
But Scott would never give up. He immediately expanded his body some more to try breaking the containment with his huge body.
But the blue light containment that seemed fragile didn't budge, and Scott that could no longer grow bigger, was forced to return to his original size.
"Give up now, Mr. Scott. You will run out of air if you continue to struggle in there." The leader said indifferently.
But then the leader saw that Scott was smiling and suddenly rushed towards the blue light to just disappear out of everyone's vision.
The leader knew that Scott was shrinking himself so that no one can see him, but it was useless inside the electromagnetic field.
"Find him, use the scout!" the leader ordered the agent near him.
The agent nodded and immediately did as he was told, but he was surprised to see that there was no one inside the electromagnetic field, "There is no life signal from inside the field, sir!" the agent told the leader.
"There is no way! Does he keep shrinking further?" the leader said with a frown.
He knew that the only way for Scott to get out of the electromagnetic field without someone turning off the field generator was only to shrink down to particle level, but there should be no way for Scott to achieve such a feat.
"It's still a possibility; keep an eye out! He didn't have that many Pym Particles left. He shouldn't be able to keep this up much longer! Notify the headquarter for reinforcement and seal this place up!" the leader ordered the rest of the CIA Agents.
He knew that he couldn't let Scott escape this place now as the situation would be bad.
The leader knew that Scott shouldn't be able to keep evading the CIA for much longer as he wouldn't be able to keep being small the entire night, not many people knew, but Ant-man needed more food when he shrank.
Not long after that, a bright light appeared outside the laser grid, and Scott emerged after the bright light dissipated. The agents were all surprised and raised their guns subconsciously.
"Target sighted, open fire!" the leader shouted immediately.
The agents immediately shot Scott as they were told, firing countless bullets. Scott, who just rushed out of the quantum field, was still dazed, but as the situation in front of him didn't give him any chance to catch a breath, he immediately shrank back and fled.
Although he was angry at these agents, his morals didn't allow him to kill these people. Scott knew if it were Dio, these agents would be dead without any mercy!
Once he has put some distance, Scott reverted to his normal size and felt that the bones and muscles on his body were shaking and crackling, causing intense pain.
This is the side effect of using the Pym Particle to alter his size successively. It was the same side effect of constant physical constrain for a long period of time.
At the same time, Scott immediately made a promise to himself that he would use his free time at a gym to improve his physical endurance later.
Scott was angry, but now, there was nothing he could do as he heard so many sirens coming his way from afar. It was obvious that the CIA agents have called for reinforcement.
Scott wanted to shrink back down again, but as he pressed the button, nothing happened!
He immediately checked his equipment and realised that he has finally run out of the Pym Particle.
As Scott pondered on how he would escape the agents, a car stopped right beside him, "Have you calmed down? If so, you should get in the car; we need to get out of here ASAP." Dio said casually.
Although Scott wanted to solve the trouble by himself, he still appreciated Dio who came when he was in a pinch.
Scott immediately breathed in relief as he knew that he was already saved. There was no way those CIA agents or even any other organization could stop Dio.
But as soon as Dio and Scott left the place, a blurry figure that constantly shifted between reality emerged from behind a tree, watching Dio's car left the place from afar..

489 S.H.I.E.L.D. Became a Victim
Dio and Scott talked about what happened yesterday to the rest of the Avengers, which immediately left a frown on their face.
They learned that they were no longer wanted criminals, but they didn't expect to be still targeted inside the country!
They now have learned that although the countries have said that they would try to compromise, they were still threatened by the Dark Battleship, and therefore, they would be willing to do anything to conquer it!
This meant that the Avengers would be in constant monitoring from the countries, and their normal lives would never return!
Fortunately, Wakanda's rise of power might have caused some distraction for them. Otherwise, their situation might've been worse!
"I think what CIA did to Scott yesterday is to test the limit of our patient, but it might also their attempt to find a cause of disruption within our group as well," Dio said casually.
Dio's thought was on point as the CIA might just threaten Scott with his daughter's welfare. Once the CIA figured out their weakness, they would try their best to exploit it! After all, the CIA always operated without preservation of normalcy.
"I agree. It is too dangerous for Scott's daughter to stay with her mother right now. The CIA can use her as leverage to put a collar on Scott's neck later if we let her stays there! And now, with all problems the countries' leaders have caused, the public wouldn't trust us, at least not as much as they used to!" Steve said solemnly.
"So, what do we do now? Should we bring the people we love to Wakanda?"
Everyone was silent as they didn't want to make the decision, especially Scott, who began to felt guilty for bringing his daughter to all this trouble.
Scott would do anything for his daughter, but if his action caused stress building up for his daughter, he would be willing to put an end to all this comradeship.
"Unfortunately, I have another bad news! Due to the mess caused by the Socovia Accord, the SHIELD has become the scapegoat for the public's backlash. Now, the SHIELD was on the verge of falling down to the ground. To put it simply, the International Security Council has deemed that the SHIELD had no more value and threw them out under the bus!" T'challa said solemnly.
His information has managed to surprise Steve and the others as they believed that Nick Fury would do everything he could to survive.
"But what happened to Natasha?" Dio asked curiously.
"The International Security Council didn't rush it themselves. They only take over most of the SHIELD's department, but not all! They wanted SHIELD to self-destruct as they stopped providing resources for the SHIELD! But after I heard about this news, I personally gave resources to the SHIELD so that they could survive. Natasha is potentially still in Nick Fury's company! Oh, Stark is also doing his best to help SHIELD out of this problem." T'challa said solemnly.
Hearing this news, the look on everyone's faces became complicated. Only a few years have passed since the New York War, but some people have already forgotten the threat from the outside world and forgot who the hero that saved the day back then.
"I have another news for you, Scott," T'challa said solemnly.
"Uhh, I hope this is the good one!" Scott said with a frown.
"I don't know whether it was good or bad, but Dr. Hank Pym and Hope Van Dyne were spotted after you leave the vicinity of your ex-wife's house. But their current whereabouts were unknown. I heard that many people were trying to find them right now." T'challa said solemnly.
"Shit! I have to find them before anyone else!" Scott said worriedly.
Scott wasn't keen on involving any of his loved ones in danger, and therefore, Scott, who has already considered Hank Pym as his own family and Hope that was his crush, didn't want to hear that they are in danger.
In other words, Scott realized that he had to find them, even if he has to put himself in danger!
"Scott, calm down! Even T'challa couldn't find them, and that is a good thing! Even if you go out there, where would you start searching?" Steve stopped Scott from making a rash decision.
"No, I can find them! Only I can!" Scott said angrily, but he finally realised that he didn't have to be all emotional and took a deep breath to calm himself down.
"Then we will go with you! So, there would be nobody taking advantage of you!" Steve said confidently.
He saw the confidence in Scott's eyes, and thus he believed that accompanying Scott was the right decision.
"No! in this case, Hank and Hope have to be careful! I know how to find them, but I didn't know where they are. They will come to me as soon as I showed up in public. I didn't think they would come if you guys are with me! I am sorry." Scott said as he shook his head.
Steve frowned a little, but he didn't show it as he knew that Scott's word made sense. Dio also knew this fact from the beginning as he already knew that Hank Pym has a personality that made it hard for him hard to trust others..

490 Time Flies, Things Are Different
Scott, who has disguised himself, sat in a café across Hope's house. Scott knew that Hope and Hank should have known what happened yesterday, and he hoped that they would make their approach soon. The only thing he could do right now was to wait for them to fetch him as he really had no idea where they were.
After waiting for quite a while, finally, Scott got his release! He saw an ant crawling under his cup and gradually formed the word 'Hope.' So, without further question, Scott picked up a newspaper to conceal the ant from plain sight while excitedly whispers to the ants. "Hope, it's me, Scott! Where are you?"
The ant soon lined up once again, forming a line 'Flower Shop. Van. License plate number.' Respectively. This is the best hidden message ever, as there was no way a normal person would suspect a colony of ants. But still, Scott had to be careful of his surroundings! But several ants began to show odd behaviour. They began to spin in place, making Scott a little confused about what Hope was trying to say.
Curious by what was happening, Scott entered the toilet and changed into his Ant-man suit. After he was at the size of an ant, he immediately rushed towards the flower shop. Sure enough, he found a mini-size van under the bench.
Scott excitedly rushed towards the car, and before he could see what was inside, the van door opened, and someone immediately dragged him inside and drove away. Just several minutes after, several CIA agents in casual clothes gathered around the Flower Shop and immediately searched for Scott, but he was long gone!"Hey, Hope, Hank! I'm so happy to see you're all right!" Scott said happily, but after seeing Hope's frowning face, Scott immediately fell silent.
"Thanks to you, our freedom is gone! But of course, you got to be a happy guy among others!" Hope said, still with a frown.
"I am sorry, the Avengers appeared all of a sudden, saying that they need my help to save the Captain. I didn't know that it would turn out this big!" Scott said, trying to defend himself.
"Scott, we are here not to hear about your apology but to determine something!"
"What is it?"
"Did you enter the Quantum Field yesterday?" Hank asked inquisitively.
Scott froze for a moment and nodded. He was a little bit afraid of acknowledging it as he knows that Hank has specifically told him that he couldn't enter the Quantum Field! But he was a little bit confused as he saw Hank and Hope smiling at each other.
"But, how did you know about it? Did you monitor the CIA?" Scott responded confusedly.
"Of course we did! You are the biggest security threat to America, and therefore we have to know what the government was thinking." Hope said casually. In fact, Hope also monitored Casey, but unlike the CIA, she only sent the ant to scout the surrounding house and didn't violate Casey's privacy.
After moving around for 20 minutes, the van stopped in front of an abandoned apartment in the suburb, and Hank immediately reverted the van to its original size. Obviously, Hank Pym has made many breakthroughs with the Pym Particle, so he could already apply it to many things.At the same time, Dio, who has already altered his appearance, walked through the street of New York. Dio was a little bit annoyed that troubles kept showing its rear end since Dio came back to Earth, so he wanted to see everything that he left behind in his spare time.
He walked towards the Villa that Jessica originally lived in. When Dio arrived near the Villa, he could see a sports car in front of the Villa and a pair of beautiful eyes staring at him. Dio immediately realised that it was Irene herself! Dio was a little dumbfounded as he saw that Irene already grew up into a beautiful teenager.
But Dio didn't let his own emotion get the better of him, so before the girl could ask who he was, Dio got back inside his car and drove away. And right after he left, Jessica and Will walked out of the house. "Irene, what did you see? Why are you running there?" Jessica asked curiously.
"I don't know; I thought I saw someone familiar!" Irene said dejectedly. She thought she saw Dio for a moment, but the height was different, making her doubt it. But one thing for sure was that she missed Dio a lot!After that, Dio immediately drove towards Strange's Private Clinic, but as soon as he got there, the name has already changed.
"Hello, isn't this Dr. Stephen Strange's Private Clinic?" Dio asked the waiting nurse on the information desk.
"Oh, Dr. Stephen Strange had a car accident a while back, and this clinic has been sold to Dr. October."
Dio froze for a moment as he didn't expect that Dr. Strange's accident has already taken place. He just hoped that he found his way to the Kamartaj just like the plot in the movie. "Did you know where the working Doctors' whereabout?" Dio asked curiously. He only wanted about Cristine's whereabout but refrain from asking about it specifically.
"I am sorry, but I didn't know them well. After Dr. Strange's accident, he drove everyone away!" the nurse said apologetically..

491 Teach Tittle Spiders To Be Human
After leaving the private clinic, Dio lit up a cigarette. Those who he once knew have already gone their separate ways. There is nothing wrong with it, but it was just a little bit sad. But it may be good for them as they wouldn't be caught up in the mess that was about to come.
Dio wanted to go to Will's solo concert, but he thought that it might be a good idea not to show himself up again. But as Dio wanted to go back to Wanda for a little cuddle time, he saw a kid snatching an old woman's bag. The old woman immediately shouted for help, but the kid has already crossed the traffic, making the old woman chase fruitless.
But as Dio sighed as he encountered another trouble that he didn't want to deal with, the kid was suddenly captured by a tight web! Dio was impressed by the urban web-slinger as he easily captured the snatcher without alarming anyone.
"Uhh, whose bag is this?"
"It's mine!"
"Here you go, pay attention next time, man. But if you are in a pickle like this time in the future, just try shouting my name! as long as I am nearby, I will come and help you! I don't have a break, maybe except holiday."
"I see. Thank you, Spiderman!"
The spider boy just waved his hand and immediately swung away towards the nearest rooftop while telling the man he just saved to look out and stay safe. Everyone, on the other hand, just look at the scene with confusion.
Dio sighed once again as he thought that the Spider could use his brain some more. He really liked the current Spiderman as the other iteration of Spiderman that he saw in the movie on his previous world had a major flaw that the current Spider didn't.
As Dio saw that the man who was holding the pink bag runs towards him, Dio stretched his leg, tripping the man down.
"Who tripped me? Did you want to die!" The man shouted angrily. Almost everyone felt something was wrong, but nobody came forward, but the little Spider heard the commotion once again and saw what was going on in the street.
Seeing that he draw everyone's attention, the man stood up quickly and tried to run once again, but Dio kicked him back down while taking the little pink bag from the man. The little Spider swung angrily towards Dio. "Why did you do that? Give me that bag back!"
Dio understood that the little Spider was annoyed since the man that he thought he just saved was immediately bullied again by others.
"Are you in cahoot with that snatcher earlier?" Spiderman said warily.
Dio sighed once again as he knew that the little Spider still didn't understand the current situation.
"First, I have nothing to do with those two goons. Second, don't you use your brain often? He said that this little pink bag was his and you immediately gave it to him! Did you ever saw a big man walk out with a little pink lady bag? And the third, the real owner was already on her way." Dio said annoyedly.
After listening to Dio's word, Peter, behind his Spiderman's mask, blushed awkwardly, then at the very moment, the real owner finally arrived.
"My bag!" the old lady shouted as she picked her bag from Dio. The woman then kicked the guy on the ground, who tried to claim her bag as his. Seeing that the old lady was a little bit aggressive, Peter wanted to apologize, but before he could say anything, the lady has walked towards Dio in one large stride.
"Thank you very much! I thought I would never saw my bag anymore, but thanks to you, I get it back! I have seen what happened from afar. If it weren't for you, I would never get this bag back! Can I have your number? I would like to invite you to dinner!" the old lady said excitedly.
"You don't have to, lady. You better check if you lose something in there!" Dio said as he refused the lady invitation decisively.
The lady immediately checked the bag and saw that nothing was missing. "Everything is here. How should I thank you then?" the lady said hopefully.
"Well, if you really want to, you can give me a head!" Dio said shamelessly.
The lady immediately froze as she heard Dio's words. She didn't believe such a nice looking guy to be so shameless.
"Now that you didn't want that, it might be good to thank this young man too. Although he made a few mistakes, his intention was worth encouraging." Dio said as he pointed his finger towards Peter.
But the lady was already too angry to listen to Dio. She immediately stomped away with a red face of anger and didn't even look back at Dio or the Spiderman.
Dio couldn't bear looking at Spiderman's discouraged expression, so he patted Peter's shoulder and encouraged him. "You have done a good job, but you have to be more cautious in the future. Pursuing justice was a very courageous action, but you have to put your mind to it, so make sure you make a good judgement in the future!"
"My own judgement?" Peter said confusedly, but he was surely encouraged by Dio's word.. He recalled what he had done ever since he became the Spiderman, and he surely remembered that he didn't really think over what he had to do the entire time!

492 Ghost
In this current society, people's attitude isn't black and white like in the movie. Everyone has a complex individual trait that might differ from what society implied. For example, a villain might be a good husband, a good father, and a well-respected neighbor to somebody.
Then came a question on why Tony didn't invite Peter Parker to join the Avenger. It came with his affection towards Peter that he saw himself in Peter's. Tony knew that the Avengers couldn't protect themselves and that one fact may become Peter's downfall if Tony invited him to Avenger. After all, Peter was just a child, waiting to be guided to the right path.
Tony knew that Peter wouldn't be able to handle the public pressure that would come as he joined the Avenger, and he wouldn't want that to happen to Peter. Society would prey on Peter without mercy.
Dio smiled and patter Peter's shoulder as he gave him another piece of advice. "Remember to throw those two thieves to the police." As he walked away from the scene, Peter who surely wasn't quite sure what was happening, scratched his head confusedly.But as Dio got back into his car, a dagger suddenly flew towards him from behind. Dio immediately raise his hands to block the dagger's path subconsciously. Although his Hamon Energy armour would make sure that he was safe all the time from something like this, he still reflectively blocked it.
But the attacker didn't seem to get the idea and attacked once more, this time aiming for Dio's head. But this time, Dio didn't even try to block it as his Hamon Energy armour wouldn't be penetrated from some measly dagger.
"This is impossible!" the attacker said as he fell down on his knee. He couldn't explain why his dagger couldn't hit Dio.
Dio didn't know why the enemy was so surprised. Could it be that blocking a projectile was supposed to be that surprising?
Although the attack was very precise, the dagger itself was nothing special. Maybe if it was the same Vibranium bullets that Tony once used on him, he would be on edge.
"Who sent you?" Dio said coldly to the attacker, who has already lost his will to fight. Dio then grabbed the man's shoulder menacingly as he really wanted to get it over with. But as he expected, the assailant wouldn't open his mouth that easily.
Dio then heated up his Hamon Energy on his hands, burning the attacker's shoulder little by little.
"I'll give you one last chance, but if you choose not to say anything, you will be burned here!"
"No! you are not my real target!"
"Who is your real target? Say it! otherwise, your arm is toast!" Dio asked menacingly. He then took off the mask that covered the attacker's face and was shocked to see that the attacker was a woman! "You are a woman?"
"I am looking for Scott Lang. My father was a former colleague of Dr. Hank Pym, and I need their help!"
Dio was surprised to hear what the woman said. But Dio believed nonetheless since it was hard to stay with your conviction when you see yourself began to burn.
"You are weird! You need their help, but you choose to attack me? I advise you to think clearly before I send you towards them inside a body bag!" Dio said coldly.
The woman was clearly stiff due to fear as she sensed Dio's killing intent. But she knew that Dio wouldn't kill without any reason. "Can you let go of me? I swear I wouldn't run away!"
If this was a movie, this woman would surely try to get away, but here, Dio had the upper hand, and this woman would be a fool to try out her luck right now, so Dio let her go.
At this moment, Dio looked like a villain that has dominated the hero that he was supposed to fight. Dio's confidence was tied with the ability of his trusted Stand and he already transformed the woman's hand into a bomb using [Killer Queen] ability.
But surely this woman wasn't keen on living as she suddenly turned blurry as soon as Dio let her go and walk out of the wall.
"Ahh, that ability, I remember it now!" Dio said as he remembered who she really was. Thus, he decided to let her live as she would have a profound role for Hope Van Dyne and Scott Lang later on..

493 Calm And Not Like Him
The woman was very pitiful as she watched her father died after getting pushed around by Hank Pym on their quantum field project. In their desperation, they rushed the project. As a result, the entire lab blew up, including the woman's parents, while their daughter survived as a ghost, a person that was trapped between worlds!
She became an agent of SHIELD, killing people and spying on the enemy because SHIELD has promised to cure her, but she didn't know that the SHIELD's director at the time was HYDRA's leader, Alexander Pierce. But it was unknown what she did to escape the HYDRA clutch and escape on her own.
It was because of this tragic background that Dio chose to let her go. But he also knew that the woman wasn't in her right mind right now for him asking her to sit down and have a talk.
Instead of following her, which was impossible to do right now, Dio immediately called T'challa. "Help me find Dr. Hank Pym's old research team! I believe several of them became a lectured on certain campuses." Dio said casually.
After hanging up the phone, Dio waited leisurely as he didn't have anything else to do. But it seemed T'challa's network was really fast as it hasn't even been a half hour yet, and he already called Dio back. After receiving the information about Hank Pym's old teammate and took his time to check each name, Dio finally stopped at the name Bill Foster.
Looking at Bill Foster's photo, Dio immediately remembered that he was the man who saved the Ghost! As T'challa's information actually gave the home address of the each personnel, Dio wanted to take things slow as he always had the time to go there later.In a dilapidated villa outside New York's suburbs, Eva Starr, in her white uniform, walked in with her arms folded.
"What happened, Eva?"
Fortunately, Professor Bill Foster didn't have class the entire day and chose to stay at home. He immediately brought Eva into Molecular Repair Room to make her better. Because Eva was trapped between worlds, her molecule was unstable, and thus she was under constant danger of disintegrating.
Bill Foster then built a room to prevent the disintegration, which was this Molecular Repair Room!
"I want to find Scott Lang today, but I only found his companion. I tried to attack him from his blind spot in order to force him to spill out where Scott is, but I couldn't even hurt him!" Eva said frustratedly.
"So basically, you attacked him, but nothing happened, and then he attacked you, and you took damage?" Bill said in a matter of fact.
"Yes, my power didn't even work. But after I escaped his grasp, I can use my power again." Eva said, still frustrated by what happened.
Bill Foster immediately racked his brain regarding what happened to Eva as he knew that her condition was gradually taking the worse direction. Eva really needed Hank Pym's help right now, but Bill thought Hank wouldn't even consider helping her right now!
But as he was deep in his own thought, his doorbell rang. He immediately checked who was on his door and immediately noticed Hank Pym was standing there. He was surprised as he never expected Hank Pym would talk to him, let alone come to his house.
But, how would Hank even know where he lived? But it was too confusing for him right now, and thus he asked Eva to hide before he opened the door for Hank.
"Hank? How are you?" Bill said as he was pretending to be surprised.
"Cut the talk for later, Bill. Let me in first!" Hank said annoyedly.
Bill Foster surely understood Hank's current predicament, so he looked around and let Hank in immediately.
"Well, well. What do we have here? Hank Pym himself, who arrogantly chased away his own team, is now coming to his former colleague's house after 30 long years!" Bill said sarcastically.
"It's all because you tried to flirt with my woman!"
"That logic is not gonna fly now! You think you deserve Janet? You are the worst partner that she could ever have! You are moody, jealous, and impatient! You basically drive everyone around you away! Now, what did she got? She paid a terrible price because of your arrogance!" Bill said coldly.
But Hank just stood there, taking all Bill's word without a hint of fury.
"Well, I am not here to talk about the old days. Let us talk business."
"Who are you?" Bill said confusedly.
"What do you mean?" Hank said with the same confused look.
"The Hank I know would surely be furious after hearing all that! But you are too calm.. There is no way you are the real Hank!"

494 I Will Make You a Magic
Seeing that Bill Foster didn't believe him, Hank had no choice but to expose his hand. "if I hit you now would you believe me then?" Hank said annoyedly. But Bill Foster kept backing away as he became more suspicious.
Hank sighed and froze the ground immediately!
"Who the fuck are you! What do you want from me?"
"I suppose there is a woman here in a certain condition. Can you call her out?" Dio said innocently as he reverted from his Hank Pym cover and sat on the sofa. Bill immediately realised that the man in front of him right now was the man that Eva attacked earlier!
"Eva, don't come out!" Bill shouted nervously as he knew that Eva was in danger, but clearly he wasn't fast enough as Eva has already crossed the wall and reached behind Dio for another surprise attack.
She punched the back of Dio's head, but Dio immediately caught her hand! "So, your name is Eva. I am glad we meet again! But this habit of yours that keeps attacking me from behind need to change!" Dio said casually as he threw her over his shoulder.
Eva then finally saw that the man in front of him wasn't Hank Pym, but Dio, the man that he attacked earlier on the day. But then, Dio changed his appearance into Scott Lang.
"You can call me Dio, but I am Scott Lang now. Well, I am sorry for intruding into your house, Professor Foster. But me and Eva here have some unfinished talk." Dio said casually in Scott Lang's form. Although they were reluctant, they knew that both of them couldn't do anything to Dio right now.
"Mr. Dio, I think there may be some misunderstanding here," Bill said calmly while Eva was anxious. He tried to compel Dio's calm nature as Dio didn't seem to come here for revenge.
"Now, that is way better, Professor. I like dealing with smart people!" Dio said casually as he put his leg on the table. Eva was always on alert the entire time, but she couldn't find any opening to attack. However, as soon as she heard Bill talk, she was confused as to why he wanted to compromise with the enemy.
"Well, can you believe that I also have a magical ability myself? I can transform anything I touch into a bomb!" Dio said casually.
"Sure, then I can return to the past!" Eva said sarcastically.
"Do you really think you escaped my clutch? I am not sure you will laugh again soon." Dio said with mock sadness. Dio then took a glass on the table and put it back, and the glass immediately exploded without any cause!
Bill immediately paled as he didn't know what else that Dio has touched earlier. But if what Dio said was true, then there were so many bombs here already! But Bill was a man of science, so he didn't fully believe Dio either.
But when he recalled that Dio had grabbed Eva's hand earlier became the deterrent that he must obey whatever Dio had to say for now.
"It's a wonderful magic!" Eva said sarcastically.
"Oh, there is more exciting stuff coming!" Dio said as he picked a piece of hair from the floor. Dio then squished it on his palm and showed it again. "What do you think would happen next?"
Both bill and Eva were clearly confused as they saw that Dio only had a piece of hair there. "Would you like to check for props? Or maybe it was better to put this piece of hair on your head?" Dio asked again.
"There is no need for that!" Bill said as he was sweating profusely from anxiety.
"Wise choice," Dio said as the hair suddenly shone brightly and exploded into a tiny flare.
"What do you want!" Eva shouted horrifiedly as she knew that her arms had become a bomb.
"Well, first of all, I want to tell you that you have become my living human bomb!" Dio said as he smirked. "Now, would you like to be civil and sit down so we can have a good talk? Or you want to run again? But this time, I wouldn't be so kind!" Dio said with a villainous look on his face.
Eva began to tremble from anger, but she knew that she didn't have any option here. She looked at Bill and saw that Bill nodded and tapped the sofa beside him for her. She immediately calmed down and sat down, hoping that Dio was as calm as he has been so far.
She also knew that the best thing she could do right now was to obey Dio's every word as her life was in Dio's hands.
"Now, is it possible for you to answer my previous question? How did you find me earlier?" Dio asked Eva inquisitively.
"I have been looking for Hank Pym for a while now, and I have been staying on Scott Lang's house, hoping that he would lead me to where Hank Pym was, but then I saw he was fighting the CIA, and once I followed him after the fight, I saw your car picking him up! So, I followed your car!" Eva said with a sigh.
Dio was quite surprised as he never expected that he was being followed, but he never noticed it! But it was a given, seeing that the one who followed him this time was the Ghost!

495 Solving Things Must Be Violent
"So you are saying that I am not a person that you were looking for, and it was better if I am dead?" Dio asked indifferently.
"I am sorry, I just want to know where Scott's whereabouts," Eva said as she took a deep breath.
"If you find him, what would you do?"
"I will force him to cure me!" Eva said with a desperate look on her face. She knew that there was no hope for her other than asking help from Hank Pym.
"I believe you, but I don't like your game, threatening others like that! So, you have three minutes to explain your condition. If it was really that desperate, I would take you personally to Hank Pym, but you need to calm down!" Dio said indifferently.
Bill and Eva didn't understand Dio as he said that he didn't like threatening others, but clearly, he was threatening them now! But as he said, if it could be solved peacefully, why use any force at all? With this on his mind, Bill nodded at Eva.
Eva then began to talk about her background, from the arrogant Hank to her unlucky father. From the accident to what happened to her after. She also told Dio what happened to her when she was recruited by the SHIELD! Not only did SHIELD lie to her, but they also treated her like a tool!
But after learning that the SHIELD would never cure her, she ran away! Obviously, the SHIELD only wanted her power. She understood that if she was cured, the SHIELD would lose an important asset.
"Who was the SHIELD's director at that time?" Dio said as he interrupted her. "Is it Nick Fury?"
"No, it was Alexander Pierce. He was the one who trained me to become the Ghost. But after Nick Fury become the director, I also executed some mission for him." Eva said informatively.
Dio nodded his head as he expected that much. Nick wasn't someone who would go back on his words. He probably didn't know what the Ghost's original goal was as it was under Alexander Pierce that she was contracted as an agent. Of course, he might try to cure the Ghost but eventually found out that it was completely impossible and thus gave up.
But fortunately for her, Dio knew how to cure her, and now that all the pre-requisite condition is almost done, he could do it immediately. But Hank had to go to the Quantum Field and save Janet first. When Hank returned with the quantum energy later, it will be easier!
"How long would you be able to sustain your body?" Dio asked curiously. Eva immediately looked at Bill as he was the one who has more say in this regard.
"If you were to stay at the repair cabin for 12 hours a day, the shortest would be one year, and the longest would be two years!" Bill said after he thought it over for a moment.
Eva already knew that her body was at its limit, but hearing that she only had one or two years left to live, still took her breath away! No one wanted to live like this, but no one really wanted to die either!
"Well, it's quite fortunate. So if it comes to the worst, she would still be able to live for a couple of months, right? That would be enough." Dio said as he laughed.
"You have a way to save Eva?" Bill asked curiously. From the way Dio talked, Bill got the feeling that Eva's condition was not a big deal for Dio.
Even Eva looked quite hopeful of the possibility that Dio would be able to cure her.
"I know that all she needs to repair her body was a sufficient amount of quantum energy! Now, Dr. Hank Pym can open the quantum channel, but there are still several details that have to be considered before we proceed, but let's save that for later!" Dio said casually.
"I already considered that treatment plan too, but no one can come back from the Quantum Field! This plan was doomed to fail!" Bill said with disappointment on his face. He really expected an insight from Dio, but he didn't expect it to coincide with one of his plans.
"Are you trying to say that Janet was the example for it?" Dio said as he laughed.
"Yes! Hank is a guy with a lot of shortcomings, but he was probably the best scientist in terms of the Quantum Field. Still, he couldn't find a way to save Janet!" Bill said solemnly, but he was confused why Dio would laugh like that.
"It is true, but it was all in the past! What if I told you now that someone successfully entered the quantum realm and survived?" Dio said with a smirk on his face.
"That's impossible! Who could possibly do that? Is it Hope? No, Hank would never let his precious daughter take such a big risk! Is it Hank himself?" Bill shouted excitedly, completely forgot that his status was still on bad terms with Hank Pym.
But at the same time, Eva shouted the right name. "It's Scott Lang, isn't it?"
"Bingo, you are correct, but there is no reward!" Dio said, still with a smirk framing his face.
Although Eva witnessed Scott's battle with the CIA, she didn't see how Scott escaped the CIA's laser grid, but she predicted to some degree that Scott used some sort of new tech for his escape.. Now she finally knew that Scott entered the quantum realm and returned safely!

496 It's Not That Enemy Doesn't Gather Together
It doesn't matter whether Bill would believe it or not, but the fact was already in front of him.
"Scott should be with Hank Pym, and they should be on their way on rescuing Janet from the Quantum Field by now. Now, Professor Bill Foster should go say hello over there and help out creating the machine that would safely create a path to return, and at the same time, you should also create the collector for quantum energy. Therefore, we would cure the Ghost in no time!" Dio said casually.
When Dio watched Ant-Man 2, it was a mess! Bill and Eva could just work with Hank to get their hands on Quantum Energy instead of fighting them. They could just cooperate to have a win-win solution. So, why bother making an enemy out of Hank? Eva might hate Hank, but it wasn't on a personal level. Hank surely fired her parent, but it wasn't something unusual. At the end of the day, her parent was the reason of their own accident.
Furthermore, in the movie, Dio learned that Eva chose to let go of her hatred towards Hank Pym later on as she was saved thanks to Janet. So, thanks to Dio's planning, Eva and Bill agreed to do as Dio said. Even so, Bill was a little bit hesitant as he still remembered that working with Hank was hell on earth itself!
After finding back her hope, Eva finally smiled again. She was only in her 20s, but she had already experienced so much pain!
"May I ask one more thing?" Bill suddenly asked. He wanted to know about Dio's power that suddenly robbed Eva of her power earlier as no one was supposed to be able to touch Eva when she was in phased condition.
Dio was surprised by the question as he didn't know that was the case. He began to wonder if it because of his Hamon Energy. If it were really because of that, then Dio once again discovered the magic of his Hamon Energy as time went by.
He already knew that Hamon Energy could be turned into another type of energy with the help of his Stands. It could become Fire, Electricity, and even could imitate the sun itself! Could Hamon Energy transform into anything?
That was not all; with [Little Feet] he could shrink the target infinitely. Did infinite in this description also mean shrinking the target into the quantum field? What would happen if he really did that? Does that mean he would be able to use this ability to enter the quantum field freely?
Dio found the idea interesting, but he didn't dare to try it now as he didn't have any assurance that it would work as he intended it to.Three days later, Scott guided Dio and the team towards Hank's secret laboratory. Although Hank nor Hope really wanted a guest right now, it was clear that Scott took Dio's importance to the extreme. Therefore, Hank and Hope couldn't do anything as Scott was the only one who could return from the quantum field safely!
But as Scott returned with Bill and an unknown woman, Hank wasn't having it and immediately taunted Bill rudely.
"Oh my god, look who's this!? I remember that you swear that you would never see me again in this life, but look what the demon brought!" Hank said rudely.
Bill anticipated that Hank would act like this, and thus he has already prepared himself for the beating of Hank's words. Bill knew that the best thing to do right now was to ignore Hank entirely, and he would eventually get bored.
But as Hank continued to pester him non-stop, Bill finally couldn't stop himself. "That's right, god obviously failed to drag you to hell, and because of that, good and innocent people are being hurt left and right!" Bill said rudely.
"You bastard, what did you just say?" Hank said furiously, but Hope immediately stood between them and reminded Hank that they had to finish the project soon.
Bill immediately changed their topic to Janet since he knew that Janet was the only sensitive topic that Hank could never free himself from the guilt until now.
But Dio, who observed the two of them from the side, was a little curious. From the way it looked, Bill was also at a loss here regarding Janet, and thus, Dio assumed that Bill also took a liking to Janet. Or maybe, Bill and Hank were once rivals fighting for Janet's love.
"Calm Down, you two! Do you really have to fight right now?" Scott said as he tried to calm Hank and Bill.
"Let me go! How dare he blame me when my hands are tied! Hope, let me go! I will make his face know how much pain I feel!" Hank said furiously.
"Let's just go, Eva! I didn't want to see his arrogant face either!" Bill said as he was fed up by Hank's attitude.
Dio, who observed from the side, was also exhausted after seeing their exchange. Dio even looked at Eva and immediately knew that she would resort to violence if things didn't work her way. This was a quite common super agent's mindset as their mission always involved them killing someone..

497 No Choice
Dio grew tired as he saw no point in this pointless fighting. So, he stood up and told Scott to come along.
"Where do we have to go now?" Scott asked curiously.
"Back to Wakanda, of course. CIA is still chasing after you here." Dio said as he winked at him.
"Oh, sure! Let's go." Scott said as he noticed that Dio was plotting something.
"You are not allowed to leave! Not until Janet is rescued!" Hank said as he dropped his banter with Bill. Scott was a little embarrassed, as he knew that Hank and Hope had done so much for him, but he knew that Dio's word was meant to remind Hank of his original goal.
"Hank, why are you so obnoxious? Even if you gave Scott the Ant-Man Suit, it doesn't mean that he will give you his life in return!" Dio said coldly.
"How dare you! Did you ever think of what he is going to be right now, his daughter too? That is all because of you!" Hank said furiously.
"It doesn't matter! The King of Wakanda has promised to provide a sanctuary and a stealth jet for Scott to travel between Wakanda and here easily. Plus, if I want to take Scott with me, I will surely make sure that my guest is comfortable, but what are you doing to your guest now?" Dio said indifferently.
Hank was obviously enraged after hearing Dio's word, but Bill was looking at Dio with complicated emotion. Obviously, he felt that Dio was so cool!
"What on earth did you want from us?" Hope asked annoyedly.
"I just want to invite all of you to Wakanda, where you would be able to research the quantum realm safely without worrying that anyone could steal the project away! If I were your enemy, I would easily snatch Hope and threatened to kill her unless you hand over your research to me!" Dio said casually.
Hank's face contorted as he started to realise the seriousness of the situation.
"Is this a threat?" Hank asked carefully.
"It wasn't, but now that you understand that we are all serious, it's better if you calm down, isn't it? It'd be better if we all work together now." Dio said casually.
Han was pale as he could do nothing about Dio now, and Scott couldn't be counted on in this situation.
"Mr. Dio, if I heard it correctly, you came here to seek our cooperation, right? So, can you give us some respect?" Hope said calmly.
"It seems you still don't understand the situation here. So let me get this straight. First, I have no interest in your quantum research, second, Bill and Eva didn't necessarily have to cooperate with you, and third, hadn't I found out what you were doing this time, Bill and Eva would've already stolen your hard work!" Dio said as he laughed. "I found the fight is unnecessary, and it's best to have both parties cooperate, isn't that right?"
"Now, let us see your skill, Eva, so that they can understand what is going on," Dio asked casually.
Eva immediately smiled and walked towards Hope menacingly. Scott tried to stop Eva as he knew that Hope didn't have any defensive equipment on, but he was shocked to see that Eva just phased through him without any effort. In the next instance, Eva handled Hope easily with one hand and choked Hank with another.
"Now, that's enough!" Dio said as he clapped his hand, and Eva immediately let them both go.
"So, what do you say? Even if Scott were here, he wouldn't be able to stop Eva, and so, if you still insist on being stubborn, I would leave with Scott, and you are free to handle Hank and Eva by yourself! And I almost forgot that Eva's full name is Eva Starr! The daughter of Elijah Starr, I believe you are also familiar with that name." Dio said casually.
After hearing the name of Eva's father, Hank's furious face immediately changed into a gaze of guilt. Even so, he would never admit that he really did something wrong back in the day.
The truth to be said, if it weren't for Janet's support, Hank would've probably died alone!
"I promise that once Janet is rescued, I will collect enough quantum energy to treat her. But that is the extent of it. I would never share my technology with anyone else!" Hank said his final decision.
A flash of excitement flashed on Eva's face. No one really knew how much pain she was in and how much she already endured. With each second passing, her cells were torn apart and regrew, torturing her endlessly.
And now, she had a hope to live a normal life!

498 Rush!
After reaching a consensus, Bill and Hank finally developed a professional ethic. Although, they still didn't want to be around each other. They both wanted to rescue Janet and cured Eva, so they were looking forward to what Wakanda had to offer to help their project.
Hank was still very reluctant, but once he arrived at Wakanda and saw the Scientific Research Equipment that they have, he immediately put all of his concern behind him. Although, his own equipment on his lab weren't bad, it was preposterous to compare it with the wealthiest country on the world! After all, if Hank wanted the same kind of equipment, he must have an astronomical fund of his own!
For the sake of confidentiality, Dio and Eva were responsible of transporting the necessary equipment for Hank as the two of them weren't necessary for the project. After all the equipment needed for the project has been sent to Hank's temporary lab, so Dio greeted Scott and prepared to leave.
But when he started the engine of the Jet, a figure suddenly appeared in his co-pilot seat.
"After you are healed, there is a high probability that you will also lose your power. So, I think it was better for you to start using a door like a normal person!" Dio said to Eva.
"That might be hard for me later, but that is if they really cure me!" Eva said worriedly.
"Don't you believe that they could cure you? You can't be so pessimistic like this, you know!" Dio said casually.
"It's not that I didn't believe them, but it's hard to trust someone completely when you've been disappointed for so many times! If this one fails too, I think my mind wouldn't be able to take it anymore!" Eva said honestly with a smile on her face.
"Then you should stay positive and keep yourself be happy until they come up with the research results." Dio said with a warm smile. He didn't understand the pain she suffered, but he knew that she was a tough person!
"So, where to?" Dio said casually.
"What do you mean?" Eva asked curiously.
"A hotel? Your home? Or wherever, I will drive!" Dio said casually with a smile on his face.
"Your house, maybe." Eva said flirtatiously.
"I am so sorry, I have a girlfriend." Dio said with a sorry expression.
"So what? If she doesn't know, it wouldn't hurt her." Eva said still trying to persuade Dio.
"She wouldn't know, but I will." Dio said with a smile on his face. The situation got awkward after that as both of them remained silent.
"I am sorry, my life is too short and boring. I just guessed you might be into me somehow, after seeing that you are at least trying to save me." Eva said with a guilty look on her face.
Dio sighed as he looked into Eva's sad expression, he knew that Eva wanted to feel alive again, but he couldn't do that to Wanda. He has promised that he would be loyal to her, so Dio would feel guilty later if he agreed to Eva's proposal.
"Well, you have Bill who cares about you so much. He already treated you like his own daughter, so you should trust him more like he has always believed in you all this time without reservation." Dio said with a smile on his face.
Eva let her mind wander for a second and her eyes suddenly became misty.
"You are right. I shouldn't be so pessimistic about life. Well, if you're interested in my offer, you know where to find me." Eva said with a playful smile on her face. She was about to leave by pashing through the door, but after a brief pause and opened the door like normal people.
Dio shook his head and laughed, he would never cash in the opportunity to sleep with Eva as long as he had Wanda by his side.Meanwhile in Queens, New York. Peter Parker was holding on his phone, waiting for a call that never came.
"Hi, Happy! This is the report I made today! I stopped a bicycle thief, but I couldn't find the owner, so I just leave it on the sidewalk with a note. Uhh, I also helped a grandma finding an address. She is from Dominican Republic, you know. She is very nice, and she also gives me a rice cake that she make herself!" Peter said as he ranted about his day.
"Oh, I hope there is a new task from Mr. Stark for me, I will be expecting your call soon, Happy!" Peter said as he ended the voice note. Peter then sighed heavily as he really wanted to do something big, like what they did in Germany before. Dealing with super heroes like Captain America was exciting as he could go all out. But it seemed like Happy ignored his every call right now.
"I am sure they are very busy right now." Peter said positively. He didn't want to think that Happy mistakenly gave him a wrong number to call to. Peter grew wary that what he did wasn't enough, so, he was determined to prove himself even more.
He immediately swung around using his web determinedly, and it didn't take long for him to discover that the long-awaited big case was waiting around the corner!

499 Look Into my Eyes
In the dark alley, somewhere in New York. A gang member was terrified and begging for mercy while his companion was lying flat on the ground.
"I really don't know where the boss is! I am just a small-time thug. I joined the Fifth Street last week! Please, let me go!"
"Look into my eyes!" the unknown figure said with a deep voice.
The thug immediately slumped into the ground like a marionette that has been cut with a chilling scream! He saw an endless fire of hell where he relived every little sin that he has done throughout his life! At the same time, his soul began to burn in agony while his body started to smell like burning flesh.
"Another fallen soul worthy of judgment."
After looking at the smelly corpse, Robbie Reyes was about to leave to find his next prey. But at the same time, a flying web immediately stuck his hand to a wall.
"What happened here? I smelled a crime scene!" Spider-Man said as he swung to the wall. Peter looked at the surroundings and frowned as he saw countless people had fallen to the ground. From the look of it, Peter realized that they were all dead.
"Who are you?" Robbie Reyes said coldly as he burnt the web that stuck his hand to a wall.
"Wow, dude! Your hand is on fire! Are you okay? I am Spider-Man! Your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man! I am the man that will stop all types of crime in this city!" Peter said confidently while posing heroically.
"I don't know you!" Robbie said as he immediately lost interest in the weird guy in latex in front of him. He didn't care about anyone else that didn't have any connection with Fifth Street. But as Robbie wanted to walk away, Peter immediately jumped in front of him, blocking Robbie's path.
"You can't go! Don't you realise that you had killed someone? You'll have to come with me to the police station now!" Peter said under his Spider Man's mask. Listening to the innocent word that the Spider-Man had said, Robbie was stunned and burst out laughing.
"I believe that you are a superhero now, Spider-Man! I will remember you, but now I still have something else to do, so please play your superhero game somewhere else!" Robbie said indifferently.
Robbie's words hurt Peter deep down as he already felt like Tony and the other Avengers have already abandoned him. So, Peter immediately kicked Robbie in the chest, proving that he wasn't playing around here.
"You have killed someone here. This is obviously a murder case! I will not let you escape!" Spider-Man said confidently.
Robbie, who has fallen to the ground, immediately stood up again without any injuries and dusted his clothes. He wasn't someone who was fond of explaining himself, so he immediately chose the easiest method that he knew!
Robbie immediately rushed towards the Spider-Man with an intention to body charge him. However, with the Spider Man's ultrahuman reflexes and with the help of his Spider Sense, Spider-Man easily dodged Robbie's charge. Not only that, but as the Spider-Man dodged, he also kicked Robbie's back and also shot some webbings to keep Robbie down.
These webbings were designed by Peter with Tony's help. It was very sticky and extremely resilient. Robbie tried to struggle to break free from the webbing, but it was no use! Peter then immediately dragged the struggling Robbie towards the nearest police station, leaving all the bodies he saw on the scene.
Peter knew that he shouldn't temper around with the crime scene from the many cop drama that he watched. He didn't know for sure whether it was the actual crime situation or not, but at least he brought back the perpetrator! Peter was looking forward to what the headline of tomorrow's newspaper would be. Maybe it was about how Spider-Man captured a ruthless serial killer! That way, Tony would immediately saw his potential once again and assigned him to some big mission!
While he was daydreaming about what his day would be, he suddenly felt his baggage became lighter. Peter immediately looked back and noticed that his webbings were burned! He was sure that this time he used the webbing with a high temperature and fire resistance, but it was burned nonetheless!
"Hey, are you looking for me?" a voice suddenly said behind him, Peter immediately reacted and tried to avoid the incoming punch, but it was too late! Robbie's fist connected with Peter's cheek and sent him flying to a wall!
Peter screamed in pain and immediately stood up again, backing off from Robbie until he was at a safe distance. Peter saw that the man was completely engulfed in fire but didn't chase after him.
"Your game is over, Spider-Man! If you keep chasing after me, you will die!" Robbie said as he immediately entered the sports car nearby and quickly drove away. He was looking for those scum from Fifth Street, and he didn't want to waste his time playing games with a superhero.
And through their dialogue earlier, Robbie knew that the Spider-Man was still a kid but had a big heart.. He was a little bit interested as he was drawn to the little spider's innocence!

500 Evil Spirit Knight
Dio was driving through the street of New York as he was thinking of bringing a gift for Wanda. Suddenly, he felt danger coming his way. Dio immediately turned his car around, and immediately after, a burning car dashed past the street, slamming the other car away.
Although the burning car's speed reached 250 kmph, Dio could still see the driver with his dynamic vision. Dio immediately noticed that the driver wasn't human at all, with a skull covered with fire and a scream that akin to horror movies.
After the burning car drove past him far enough, Dio just stared at the burning wheel marks on the street. Dio also remembered that Steve and Coulson had mentioned the Evil Creature before but didn't take it seriously as he already knew that the Ghost Rider actually existed in this world.
But even so, Dio saw so many differences between this Ghost Rider and the Ghost Rider that he knew. The one stark difference that he could see was that the Ghost Rider he knew was riding a bike, not a car! But when Dio hesitated whether to catch up with this new Ghost Rider or not, he saw the Little Spider swinging from one building to the next, obviously trying to chase after the Ghost Rider.
Dio was surprised. Was the Ghost Rider trying to get away from the Little Spider? Isn't he supposed to be a crazy strong character? But how did the two of them meet in the first place?
This was confusing, but Dio knew with Spider Man's personality, it was possible that he ran into one of Ghost Rider's purging. After all, Ghost Rider was a vigilante who worked with his own rule, and from his look, it was expected that almost everyone would look at him with horror.
Dio obviously could only guess what happened earlier, but one thing for sure was that he had to follow them himself! The scene when Ghost Rider and Spider-Man met again might become very interesting! But at the same time, Dio heard a lot of sirens sounded in every direction. He even saw some helicopters were already dispatched toward the Ghost Rider's way.
The Ghost Rider has drawn so much attention to himself! Of course, he wouldn't be caught, but people would start to notice that a burning skeleton existed among them!
Dio immediately drove as fast as he could towards the suburbs, where the burning marks on the ground guided him. When he got there, he found that the Spider-Man and the Ghost Rider were already fighting against each other.
Although the Ghost Rider was fast, the Little Spider had advantages of his own. He had the spider-sense that could calculate the path of danger, and obviously, the Spider-Man was a hero who was not hindered by the terrain of his fight! The Little Spider kept swinging in the air, making it very hard for the Ghost Rider to even catch up!
"You are asking for this!" Robbie said as he immediately turned his whole body into flames. The scene was covered with a sulfuric smell that even the Spider-Man had a hard time breathing. Robbie's current appearance was close to that of a demon in myths.
Spider-Man was a little startled at first, but he immediately snapped back to his senses as he also took this seriously. He started to fight the legendary demon on equal grounds, but clearly, the Little Spider was at a disadvantage here, as his webs were clearly not working, and he couldn't get close to the Ghost Rider as the Ghost Rider's hellfire was too hot for Spider-Man to handle.
Spider-Man tried to extinguish the flames around the Ghost Rider by using the hydrant near the scene, but it didn't work. He tried to block the Ghost Rider by pinning a construction material on top of him, but it didn't work out either!
Furthermore, these objects that Spider-Man threw at the Ghost Rider were immediately thrown back towards the Spider-Man covered with flames! Robbie then pulled out a steel pipe from his car, and it immediately transformed into a superweapon!
Spider-Man tried hand-to-hand combat against the Ghost Rider, but it obviously didn't work out as he intended to as it took all the little spider got just to dodge Ghost Rider's attack. Spider-Man immediately threw a huge boulder to smash the Ghost Rider, but before he could take a breather, the Ghost Rider already destroyed the boulder with ease.
The little spider was startled by the demon's power. This was a situation that he never liked, as fighting against a villain with inhuman endurance really tired him out! Furthermore, if this guy really was a demon from hell, Peter wondered if he should start going back to church to repent for his sin.
Peter sighed and immediately activated the Kill Mode on his suit. The eye cover that was actually a screen immediately turned red. Peter then immediately rushed towards the Ghost Rider with the intent to knock him out!
Dio, who was hiding, got excited. He was waiting for the moment that the Spider-Man was trying his best against one of the most powerful beings in Marvel Universe, but how could the little spider fight against the fire from the Ghost Rider? It was truly overwhelming as it would burn anything to cinders!
Furthermore, the Ghost Rider still had another card up his sleeve! The Penance Stare was still usable. Even though the little spider was an innocent human, there might still be a sin that could be burned! It was the most powerful ability on Ghost Rider's arsenal. One could even say that it was one of the most powerful abilities in the Marvel Universe! It literally would burn everyone who had a soul!
But seeing that the police were also approaching, Dio sighed as he had to stop the fight between the two superheroes as it would turn ugly if the police really get involved..

501 Standard Weapon-Chain
Dio immediately created a huge wall of ice, separating the Ghost Rider from Spider-Man.
"Let's stop right here. The police are coming!" Dio said as he came out of the shadows. Robbie melted the ice and stared at Dio with his black eyes. But the little spider couldn't take the hint, and instead of recognising Dio, he asked Dio to put out the fire from the Ghost Rider.
Dio sighed as he knew that the little spider at this Marvel Universe was a little naïve, so Dio decided to ignore him for now and shifted his attention towards the Ghost Rider. From the look of it, Dio knew that he was fortunate that the Ghost Rider didn't want to escalate things either here as he didn't have any intention to fight anyone outside of the Fifth Street thugs!
"Take good care of that little spider! Don't let him mess with me again!" Robbie said after a moment of silence. He was annoyed by Spider Man's stubbornness, but he knew that the little spider was doing what he believed was right, so he couldn't really harm him.
Dio was satisfied to hear the word from the Ghost Rider as he initially only wanted to observe the fight and probably saved the Spider Man from danger if in any case, the Ghost Rider went too far! Dio knew that the little spider had an innocent and righteous heart, but Ghost Rider's Penance Stare was on another level. If a person had even a trace of sin in their heart, the Penance Stare would burn their soul!
"NO! you are a murderer! I will never let you go without a proper punishment!" The Spider-Man said without any hesitation.
Others would've worried about the police intervention, but Spider Man didn't! He was a frequent visitor of the New York Police department as he sent so many petty criminals to their door. Although Peter thought that the police were on his side, Peter was still a little bit worried that the police officers would be caught up by the demon's flame if they chose to intervene later.
But the thought of letting a murderer set loose didn't sit well with Peter's morale.
Dio was a little bit surprised by Peter's stubbornness, but he knew that Peter was doing this out of his rightful morale, but the Ghost Rider, who has already calmed down after seeing Dio earlier, was immediately disgruntled by Peter's word!
Dio knew that the one in control right now wasn't the real Ghost Rider's host, but it the spirit of vengeance, and Dio knew that the spirit was really impatient!
At the same time, several helicopters came into the scene and ordered the Ghost Rider to surrender, further annoying the spirit of vengeance. Suddenly, the Ghost Rider launched the spear on his hands towards one of the helicopters. It hit the back of the helicopters, causing the helicopter to lose control and fell to the ground.
This was the real Spirit of Vengeance personality as it easily snapped. It was clear to Dio that whoever the host was, he was already losing control over the Spirit of Vengeance.
The rest of the helicopters immediately cleared off from the Ghost Rider and immediately fired the Ghost Rider with countless bullets. Some helicopters were even loaded with rockets and started firing them at the Ghost Rider too.
Dio and Peter who didn't want to get caught by a stray bullet or the explosion immediately buzzed off from the Ghost Rider's side before the helicopters started firing. But when the smoke dissipated from the explosion, everyone saw that the Ghost Rider had been reduced to a skeleton, and the fire that engulfed him earlier was already extinguished.
Everyone began to relax as they thought that the evil creature had been killed, even Peter on the side also thought of the same thing! He was a little bit sorry that he couldn't catch the demon by himself, but he was fine as long as the demon has received a proper punishment.
Only Dio thought otherwise as he knew that the Ghost Rider couldn't be killed merely by rockets and bullets. As to prove his thought, the Ghost Rider's eye socket immediately ignited again. Every injury on his bones was nullified, and even the suit that he wore earlier was repaired again like magic.
The police were startled and immediately opened fire once again. However, this time was a little bit different! Even though the bullet hit the Ghost Rider and he wasn't fighting back, it didn't seem to affect him as much anymore! Instead, Ghost Rider walked towards his car and pulled out a long steel chain from under the seat.
This was Ghost Rider's standard weapon! Dio knew immediately that the police would suffer terribly from messing around with the Ghost Rider! And sure enough, the Ghost Rider started to swing the chain that was also covered with hellfire to the helicopters on the air, causing a massive hurricane-like air current that covered the sky.
The Ghost Rider began to laugh maniacally as he was unstoppable. Everyone who saw the scene could say that they really saw a demon from biblical myth right in front of their eyes. The Ghost Rider didn't even stop there.. He also started to tie some police officers and burned them to ashes with his chain at an incredible speed!

502 Little Spider Hit
As everyone saw the person in front of them was burned to ashes with a terrifying scream, their mental fortitude was immediately tested! But everyone realised that it was merely the beginning of their nightmare. It was as if the flaming chain had the will of its own and started burning the cops one by one.
The helicopters above tried to give a suppressing fire towards the Ghost Rider, but it only annoyed the Ghost Rider! He immediately swung his chain towards the helicopters, destroying the helicopter's tail like it was a child's toy!
The Ghost Rider seemed to be indulging himself in killing the cops, but suddenly, half of its face lost its flame! "Eli, that's enough!" Robbie Reyes's voice came out, and suddenly the Ghost Rider returned to its human form.
"Robbie, are you sure that you want to be human now? Without me, you won't be able to escape this place!" Eli said as Dio suddenly saw a ghost around Robbie. It was Robbie's uncle, but now that he was dead, he apparently used Robbie's body to use the Spirit of Vengeance.
"Don't force me, uncle!" Robbie said coldly, silencing Eli from talking any further. After speaking like that, Robbie then put his hands on his face and return to the Ghost Rider form again, but this time, the flame wasn't as intense as earlier.
Robbie was back in control again. Although he has already killed so many police officers, Robbie knew it wasn't his fault and regained his humanity. Now that he was already back in control, Robbie then targeted the Police's car and destroyed it all, but he made sure that no one died from his attack anymore!
Robbie then also pulled out the helicopter's pilots with his chain, bringing the helicopter down to prevent it from chasing him.
The Spider Man obviously wanted to stop the demon, but Dio made sure that he held Peter down from an unnecessary brawl with the Ghost Rider. When Robbie was about to leave, he made eye contact with Dio and Peter, like he was trying to memorize the both of them. After that, he disappeared into the night with his flaming car.
"Damn it! Why did you stop me! That demon has killed so many people, and if we don't catch him soon, even more people will probably die!" Peter shouted at Dio angrily.
"Even if you can catch up to him now, did you really think that you can capture him?" Dio asked with a slight smile on his face.
Peter was obviously startled by Dio's words and stopped complaining. He knew that he didn't have ample strength to stop the demon from doing anything it wanted. Peter now realised that the demon couldn't be killed no matter what he did!
But even so, Peter was still annoyed at the man in front of him right now as he failed to do something noteworthy to prove himself to Tony Stark! He was also annoyed at himself for being not strong enough to prevent the cops from dying earlier.
Peter knew that if he could stop the Ghost Rider, he could've saved the cops earlier, so Peter started to blame himself for not able to do anything.
Dio knew what Peter was thinking, but he didn't do anything to correct his way of thinking. In Dio's mind, people were entitled to think whatever and however they wanted, and he had no right to change that.
"There is an Evil Spirit inside that guy's body that would be almost impossible to destroy. But a piece of advice for you, if you ever run into him again, don't ever look into his eyes!" Dio said as he walked towards his car, leaving Peter to wallow on his unnecessary guilt.
Dio then drove towards the direction that Ghost Rider drove to. He didn't know where the Ghost Rider might be, but he could use [Moody Blues] to track him down. But as Dio realised that he didn't have a good look at the Ghost Rider's human form appearance, [Moody Blues] took a long time to find the person that might be the Ghost Rider.
Eventually, [Moody Blues] finally showed a person who wore the same leather jacket that the Ghost Rider wore earlier. Dio wasn't sure, but the man he saw now might be the Ghost Rider's human form.
Nonetheless, he was relieved that he still found some sort of use for [Moody Blues] after possessing it for a long time yet not having the opportunity to use it. On the other hand, Peter quickly returned to the city and called Happy and reported what just happened earlier.
"What now, kid? A skull demon covered in flames and a flaming ghost car? I had a fight with him before, and I already drop his ass countless times! Now, if you didn't wake me up, I might win another round!" Happy said annoyedly.
"No, it was true, happy!" Peter said frustratedly.
"What I said is also true! Next time you call just to harass me at this hour, I will drive the flaming ghost car to your house myself!"
"Happy, please listen …" Peter said, but the line was cut as Happy obviously ended the call. Peter was frustrated and lost as Happy didn't believe him, and he didn't have any means to talk with Tony Stark himself!
To make the matter worse, he couldn't stop the skeleton demon! This time, Peter was really frustrated with the situation as he didn't know what else to do.
"What should I do now? Think Peter, what would Mr. Stark do in this situation?" Peter quietly walked home as he lost in thought. However, after he jumped off the ceiling of his room and took off the hood, behind him at his bed, Ned saw everything!
"Spider Man?"
