Chapter 676
An actual phenomenal moment happened in the entire universe. The terrifying Macrophage Worm King was finally slain! The nine empires that const.i.tuted the Allied Empire immediately recovered the worm’s body, either it would serve as a trophy or for research purposes. Still, so many people wondered how such a creature could grow to be so big! As for the rest of the worm’s body, it was auctioned on the black market to make up for the loss of the destroyed warship and compensation of the war.
The huge mouthpiece of the worm was collected by Tivan, and some people even dared to try the worm’s meat to taste it. The courageous people even said that the worm tasted very good, albeit it was a little bit chewy. n.o.body really knew whether this rumour was true or not, as not many people were brave enough to try the meat.
In any case, the universe’s crisis was averted, but how about the one that averted the crisis itself?
Recently, the most popular joke that was going around the universe was that Thanos was ready to change his way and become a superhero that would save the universe! It was such a good joke as people knew how twisted Thanos’ way of thinking really was. If Thanos really became a superhero, then everyone else would be the king of the galaxy!
This was why the rumour of Thanos becoming the hero of the universe was considered a joke! The allied empire themselves were very tacit on not talking about this matter. They neither admitted that Thanos was the one that killed the worm nor denied it. They were worried if they started to feed the rumour about Thanos, they would become the target of Thanos’ attack.
However, Thanos himself didn’t really care about the rumour circulating around him as he saw it as prestige. There was nothing to be ashamed of as Thanos didn’t care about what people were thinking about him. According to his track record, he already destroyed several planets himself, so it didn’t matter if he saved a few this time.
Still, the people laid low while talking about Thanos as they were afraid of the repercussion in case Thanos might not like it and decided to go after them. Little did they know that Thanos didn’t care and how insignificant their chatter really was for him.
Compared to what he would do next, people’s rumour was just silly child’s play for him. Once he collected all 6 Infinity Stones, he would snap his finger and extinguish half the life on the galaxy! After that, no one would laugh anymore as they would be too heartbroken and dumbfounded by everything that happened!
. . . . . . . . . . .
Dio didn’t know the major event that happened in the universe right now as he was still on Earth. With that in mind, Dio didn’t know that Thanos had successfully secured the Power Stone! This also meant that the 6 Infinity Stone was in possession of two people that were likely allied with each other! The situation was definitely grave right now!
Meanwhile, Dio was busy making wanted posters right now! With the help of T’challa that had a deep pocket, Dio’s wanted poster was even advertised on national television across the globe. Of course, the internet and other forms of media were no exception.
Dio thought that no matter where the woman was right now, someone was bound to recognize her! That was as long as she was still on Earth. The message that Dio conveyed with his wanted poster was quite simple. It said, “You know where I am, and come find me with Stephen Strange! I will give you a fair chance to explain yourself! I will leave in 7 days! – Dio”
The wanted poster contained a lot of information, but not for those who didn’t know anything about it. So, even with the wanted poster making its way to a very rural place on Earth, people still didn’t know what it was all about. The impact caused by this wanted poster was very low compared to how much money was spent on advertising it!
Even so, this was the last chance for the Avenger to recover the Mind Stone and quite presumably the Time Stone too! As long as the wanted poster managed to attract the woman’s attention, their effort was a success! As for whether the woman would take the bait, no one could say anything for now!
Even though this plan was ridden with failure, there was nothing else they could do. It was obvious that the more aggressive they tried finding this woman, the more she would be cautious and remain hidden!
At Wakanda, a large number of troops had been a.s.sembled, and they would enter the state of war as soon as the word was given from T’challa. Although they were considered the most powerful troops in the world, Dio knew that their contribution to a galactic war would be highly negligible. But it was a.s.suring to have a large number of troops like this.
Dio suspected the woman would be willing to talk with him, and thus he went all-in on the plan to lure the woman to meet Dio. If the woman had already returned to wherever Thanos was, it would be all over, and Thanos would eventually have all the 6 Infinity Stones!
“Do you think that woman will come to you?” Steve asked as he wasn’t sure about this plan that Dio came up with.
“If I am sure about it, I wouldn’t be standing here restless right now. There is nothing we could do. We just have to wait and see.” Dio sighed as he wasn’t sure himself. The plot of MCU has been ruined, and all information that Dio had prior to this event was completely useless. If Thanos already had all the Infinity Stones, Steve could suddenly turn to ash next to him without knowing anything.
Suddenly, a scout reported something that Dio had been waiting all day! “an Unidentified Flying Object has been detected outside the Earth. The number kept increasing rapidly!” The scout reported worriedly. Dio and Steve immediately took a glance at each other and immediately knew that the enemy that they have been antic.i.p.ated all this time finally came!
Thanos has come to Earth!
