Since Thanos is waiting for him to jump out, it means that Carol is still safe before Thanos loses his patience.
So Dio plans to take advantage of this little blank time in the middle to strengthen himself again!
He first charged a full five tons of gold into the pay-to-win mobile game, and then decisively returned to his exclusive room in the base to start preparing to spend the money!
Fifty thousand gold bars represented five thousand ten-draws, which was also his largest transaction.
"Then let's start smoking..."
Dio took a deep breath, then opened the krypton gold pool and started drawing money like crazy!
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
Meanwhile, on Earth.
Thor and his people also arrived safely, then he contacted Steve and others and briefly told them what happened in Asgard.
Everyone felt heavy-hearted about what happened to him, but they didn't know how to comfort him, so they could only pat him on the shoulder silently.
Then in response to Thor's request, T'Challa once again used his money power to directly buy a large grassland near Wakanda, and then hired a large number of people to start building houses and other things for the people of Asgard to live in.
The area is vast and sparsely populated, so there won't be any strange people coming to disturb them.
Thor was also very satisfied with this and expressed his gratitude solemnly.
Of course, he did not forget what Dio had told him and told Wanda where Dio was.
Only now did they realize that Dio actually owned a planet of his own!
This is really...
A group of people discussed together unhappily, preparing to give Dio a good beating when he comes back!
If he dares to resist, beat up his girlfriend and brother-in-law!
Wanda, Quicksilver: “???”
Also, Hulk’s return surprised everyone. No one expected that he had disappeared for so long and had experienced so many things. It turned out that the universe was more exciting!
In this way, Thor and his men settled down temporarily.
But what they didn't know was that a spaceship had also quietly landed on Earth.
Then a beautiful and strange woman walked down barefoot.
"Earth, I'm finally back. Are you ready for the surprise?"
As the woman opened her arms in morbid intoxication, all the trees and animals within a ten-mile radius turned to ashes!
Earth...
Danger!
. . . . . . . . . . . .
On the planet Vormir, Gao Tianzun, holding a scepter, followed a broken star map and found the place where the Soul Gem was said to be hidden.
"En, Duwe Gast... Born from an ancient, highly intelligent race, a member of the Council of Elders of the Universe. It is really unexpected that a great man like you would come to a place like this."
"you know me?"
Looking at the strange creature floating in the air in front of him, Gao Tianzun was somewhat surprised that the creature called out its real name that he had almost forgotten.
"This is the curse I have. Anyone who steps into this place will know who he is."
"Interesting, what's your name and who imprisoned you here? Are you interested in hanging out with me?" Gao Tianzun said with a smile, as if he didn't care at all where the Soul Gem was.
This strange way of unfolding really made this ghost-like man stunned for a moment, but then he raised his head, revealing his hideous and terrifying face.
"I was teleported here by the Cosmic Cube, and then I searched the entire planet and finally found the Soul Stone, but just when I was about to get it, it bounced me away and cursed me. I can never leave here again in my life, and I became its slave. As for the name... You can call me Red Skull."
"So that's how it is. According to rumors, the Soul Gem is the most mysterious of the six Infinity Gems. It possesses unique wisdom, which makes it the most noble and has unimaginable power. Now seeing what happened to you, I'm beginning to believe this rumor."
As an old monster who has lived for who knows how long, Gao Tianzun knows secrets of the universe that are hard for others to imagine.
The Red Skull suddenly fell silent. Obviously, what Gao Tianzun said was true, but he knew it too late.
"So despite this, you still want the stone? Noble ancient being."
"No, I came here purely out of curiosity. I want to know what kind of person can take it away and what price they will pay? This is the reason why I came here."
This answer was completely beyond Red Skull's expectations. After he remained silent for who knows how many times, he bowed slightly and said, "Then please follow me."
Along the way, the two did not communicate again until the cliff-like altar appeared...
"The Soul Stone is right down here. It will make anyone who covets it regret it."
"Oh? What kind of price will it cost to get it?" Gao Tianzun looked down, then turned around and asked curiously.
"To ensure that whoever wishes to possess it understands its power, the Stone requires a... sacrifice."
"Sacrifice what?"
"If you want to get this soul gem, you must give up your love and exchange your soul... for 'soul'!"
Gao Tianzun was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, "That's actually the case. Interesting, very interesting! Exchanging souls... for 'souls', a reasonable sacrifice! Hahaha..."
After laughing, Gao Tianzun said to himself with great regret: "What a pity! I have lived for so long that I have long forgotten what 'love' is. In my empty life, there are only interesting things and boring garbage left. I don't even have chips for such a 'gamble'. I want to play but can't. It's just a big pity. What a pity! What a pity!"
The Red Skull stood quietly by the side, silent.
But the next few words from Gao Tianzun shocked him!
"Let me ask you a question, what is true love?"
“Family, friends, love between men and women, all are true love.”
"Really? But why do I feel that everyone loves themselves more than they love others? So are you sure that the love you're talking about can really be considered 'true love'?"
The Red Skull was shocked and looked at the other party in horror.
At this time, Gao Tianzun asked again: "What will happen if I jump down?"
"I don't know, but... I'll probably die." Red Skull had never thought about such a thing.
"Soul for soul... I think I know the secret of its wisdom."
Gao Tianzun ignored the fact that he would die. He just stared blankly at the bottom with an indescribable fanaticism in his eyes, as if he had seen the gamble he most desired!
"Can I trouble you for something?"
"What's up?"
"Keep this for me, and bury me with it if I die."
As Gao Tianzun spoke, he tossed him a white chip, then jumped down with a big laugh.
The Red Skull was the only one left on the cliff altar, holding the chip in a daze, wondering what he was thinking...
