Chapter 677
In the past two days, hundreds of spaceships started to hover around the Earth’s atmosphere. It was fortunate that T’challa had deployed some space defence line just outside Earth’s atmosphere as per Dio’s advice! It gave them some time as the enemy couldn’t just barge in easily. Hadn’t Dio advised T’challa to do so, the enemy would’ve just waltzed in and razed the Earth to the ground!
Now that the enemy was detected earlier, Dio and the other Avengers were a little bit relieved. It was because they knew that the woman would definitely appear as her helper was here! They now had the window to take back the Infinity Stones on the woman’s possession as it was clear that she hadn’t given them to Thanos just yet!
“Where is Thor?” Dio asked as he couldn’t seem to find Thor while the war was imminent. Thor would be an important factor in the battle against Thanos as he possessed unbelievable power, but he shouldn’t dwell too much on it as he remembered that the Stormbreaker, the Axe that Thor wielded, could summon Bifrost to help him move between the nine realms.
In addition to that, T’challa also wanted to wake Bucky up from his hibernation. This was good as the Winter Soldier was a force to be reckoned with! But as T’challa conveyed his plan to Steve, he refused to let T’challa wake Bucky up. Although he knew that Tony didn’t seem to care about the tragedy anymore, no one could guarantee that Tony could keep his calm after watching Bucky standing in front of him.
No one would be surprised if Tony started attacking Bucky as soon as he saw him alive and well. Therefore, it was better to refrain from doing anything to ruin the current peace they could enjoy. In addition to that, Bucky’s combat power wasn’t really on par with the enemy. Bucky was an assassin, and the war wasn’t his forte. It was a little bit harsh, but it was the truth!
Tony himself didn’t bring Spiderman with him this time as he didn’t want to burden a child with such a big risk. He thought that it was too early for a 15 years old child to face something so dangerous like this. It was better for Spiderman to keep an eye on New York.
But their thoughts were interrupted as two familiar figures walked out of a portal. One of them was Stephen Strange himself, whose whereabouts were unknown until just now.
“Uh, did someone invite them here?” Tony asked jokingly.
“I think we are in deep trouble!” Steve worriedly said as he had already seen Strange’s magical capability with his own eyes.
“But hey, it’s not that bad if it was him alone!” Scott said jokingly, but like a bad omen, multiple portals suddenly materialised, and there came Wong with a large number of sorcerers beside him! Obviously, after controlling Strange with the Mind Stone, the woman received the entire arsenal of the Sorcerer Supreme!
Now, former brother in arms became enemies, and it was the worst kind of enemy! It wasn’t only because of their spells and magical weapons, but also because they had some kind of connection with the rest of the Avengers too! If they were enemies from the start, Dio wouldn’t have any problems killing them without hesitation!
“Maybe we can prepare some tranquilizer for these guys so that we don’t have to fight them?” Scott said nervously as his words were biting back at him.
Then everyone looked up to the sky and witnessed several spaceships finally breaking through the Earth’s atmosphere and circling in the sky around them. Some even tried to land and dropped countless soldiers that were ready to take over Wakanda.
Although T’challa has prepared several thousands of soldiers himself, they would be easily overwhelmed by the seer number Thanos has brought to Earth!
“Don’t say another word! Or I’ll flush you into the toilet!” Dio said as he saw Scott was about to speak again. Scott immediately made a zip-out motion on his mouth, indicating that he wouldn’t speak again, but at the same time, he resented the enemy for proving him wrong every time he open his mouth!
“Open the border defence!” T’challa shouted as he knew that they would be overwhelmed if they let the enemy come close without any defence. A huge bowl-shaped energy barrier immediately enclosed Wakanda! This was the pride of Wakanda, as they were confident that the enemy wouldn’t be able to break through easily, but because of the existence of Stephen and the sorcerers, it became nothing but a joke!
A large number of portals opened, and the enemy soldiers immediately invaded Wakanda, ignoring the barrier that T’challa activated! Even so, the barrier was still useful as it denied the enemy spaceship access. At the same time, T’challa immediately let out his war cry, sending his soldiers to war!
“Give me some time to talk to that woman! If I wronged her in the past, maybe we can compromise somehow.” Dio said hurriedly.
“It’s too dangerous!” Wanda said nervously.
“Relax, nothing bad will happen. I can just leave whenever I want!” Dio said as he hugged Wanda lovingly. Wanda knew that she couldn’t stop Dio once he made up his mind, so the best she could do right now was to remind Dio to be careful and watch him as he plunged into danger!
Dio walked towards the mysterious woman with a smile on his face. “We meet again! Since you show yourself once more before me, that means you have met me before, did you not? I am curious because I don’t seem to remember you.” Dio said with a smile on his face.
“You want to know about me now? let me kill you, and you will remember everything after that!” The woman coldly said as she lifted her hood and stared at Dio with cold eyes.
Although he didn’t receive the answer he wanted, Dio noticed from her word that he was right all along! This woman sought revenge for someone that Dio had killed in the past! Or at least, someone that lost something because of what Dio did!
But still, Dio didn’t know who the woman was affiliated with, so he couldn’t say much about it! The only thing he could do right now was to defend himself if the woman attacked, and so, he pulled out the [Reaper’s Gaze] and gripped it tightly.
