After an extremely embarrassing performance, Thor, who played the "villain" this time, left unwillingly after saying a few harsh words, looking very afraid of Dio.
Dio stayed and continued his one-man show, "You have seen it too. I can protect you temporarily, but not forever. So take care of yourself in the future and don't do evil again."
After saying that, Dio prepared to leave without any delay.
At this moment, the 'Mapo Tofu' finally spoke after a brief silence: "What do you need us to do?"
Dio, who had his back to them, curled up his lips slightly, and when he turned around, he had regained his composure. "It's not that I need you to do anything, but what you can do for me."
"We are not real combatants, but all scientific research and technology are in our hands." Mapeduf said half-truthfully. Every dark elf born is a qualified warrior, but he never wants to become cannon fodder after losing his freedom. The few remaining survivors can no longer withstand the consumption.
If the safety of these people can be guaranteed, the technology and other things will be handed over. What's the point of them keeping it
But Dio was delighted after hearing what he said, because what he wanted was scientific research talents who mastered technology. After all, the fighting power of the Dark Elves was really terrible. They were simply too weak without any equipment. Of course, this premise was that the Dark Elves had lost the Cursed Stone. The Cursed Warriors were indeed strong enough. At the beginning, Asgard also paid a huge price in casualties before barely winning.
You have to know that in their prime, the Dark Elves transformed into Curse Warriors in large numbers, and it was easy for one Curse Warrior to kill dozens of Asgard guards.
But that is all in the past, and Dio doesn't need to curse the warriors to increase their combat effectiveness.
"You can treat this as a deal. I don't need your loyalty and I won't treat you as combatants. The limit is one hundred years. You serve me for a hundred years, and I will provide you with a hundred years of protection. After a hundred years, where you want to go and what you want to do has nothing to do with me."
In reality, it is extremely difficult to truly subdue these dark elves. Even if they surrender on the surface, who can guarantee that they will not cause trouble in secret
So Dio directly put forward such a proposal, a proposal that can minimize the risks for both parties and a proposal that is likely to make the other party excited!
After all, a hundred years may be a lifetime for people on Earth, but for these dark elves, a hundred years is probably just a matter of leaving their homes and going on vacation to another planet
These people have been sleeping in the hibernation chamber for more than a hundred years!
It must be said that this was an offer they couldn't refuse!
As soon as this proposal was made, those who did not want to lose their freedom and those who had other plans in mind all began to argue excitedly.
A hundred years of buffer time is enough for them to escape Asgard's pursuit and rebuild their homes on other planets. Moreover, they do need a strong backer as a shelter, otherwise a group of interstellar pirates might wipe them out. In the black market, the dark elves are one of the "goods", and many collectors like to collect a living dark elf to show their taste.
When Maperduf stopped the argument, he stepped forward and asked with a little respect: "The deal you mentioned is very attractive, but we cannot be sure whether you will abide by this agreement a hundred years later."
"But you don't have a choice, do you?"
Dio's casual question made his expression change.
On one side, there is the possibility of genocide, while on the other side, there is the hope that the other side will keep its promise and fight for a future.
In fact, they had no choice from the beginning.
So after taking a deep breath, Mapeduf performed a dark elf's surrender ceremony and knelt down on one knee. "We dark elves agree to the 100-year agreement."
After looking at each other, the others also put down their weapons and knelt on one knee.
Although the people in front of them kept saying that this was just a deal and their loyalty was not required, they must have self-awareness. Now even their lives are in their own hands, so of course they should be more sensible. They, the dark elves, are not the hypocrites of Asgard.
Dio was very happy to see that he had gained a group of talents without much effort. By the way, he also let Mapeduf be his deputy to continue leading this group of dark elves.
Doing this can also be considered as a way to calm their uneasy emotions.
Dio was not afraid that they would dare to rebel. After all, he had already made it clear in advance. If anyone pretended to obey or did something secretly, he would personally exterminate the dark elves.
"I will issue the first order now. Repair the battleship as soon as possible. Then we will leave here."
"Yes, Master."
"Don't call me Master, call me Sir."
"Yes, sir."
After finishing this place, Dio took the dark elf's communicator and left here temporarily, then met with Thor and returned to Asgard first.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Of course, I am full of curiosity about the universe. It's a rare opportunity like this, so why not take a look around? And even if you don't admit it, the technology in the hands of the dark elves is far superior to that of you Asgardians."
Thor nodded and said, "Since you have made up your mind, I will not keep you here. After you leave, I plan to take Jane back to Earth to survive for a while."
"That's fine. After all, your father looks down on Earthlings from the bottom of his heart. By the way, has the destination of the ether particles been decided?" Dio suddenly remembered.
"After several meetings and discussions, Father decided to send the Aether to the Void where the Collector Tanlia Tivan is. After all, Asgard already has the Cosmic Cube in its custody, so it is not suitable to keep another Infinity Stone."
Dio understood. The plot did not change. However, when the purple potato spirit arrived, even the collector might not be able to keep the ether particles.
But think about it again, Thanos successfully collected all six Infinity Stones, so it doesn't matter where he hides them.
At least with the Collector's connections and strength, ordinary villains really can't do anything to him. After all, this guy is the brother of Gao Tianzun, and both of them are from one of the oldest races in the universe and are members of the Council of Elders of the Universe.
In the comics, he even has the ability to travel through time and foresee the future!
The coolest thing is that this guy once made a bet with the goddess of death. Although he lost, he was ordered by the goddess of death not to enter the kingdom of death. He is an immortal being!
It was also because his life was too long that he had to develop a hobby of collecting to pass the time.
I just don't know what kind of person this collector is in Dio's universe.
