When Dio finally returned to Earth, he immediately realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
"What's going on, guys? Did the Japanese take advantage of the darkness to land on the sun? Why do you all look so serious?"
"Dio!"
"Damn it, you're finally back!"
"Hey, I heard you own a planet of your own. Are you welcome to immigrate there? If you don't charge that damn tax!"
. . . . . . . . . . . .
Dio walked in and hugged each of the bastards, then took Wanda's hand and sat down.
"Hey, hey, hey! Calm down, guys. I'm not hiding it from you on purpose, but you didn't ask. Am I going to tell everyone: Hey, man, you know, I have a planet, do you want to go over and play?"
Dio acted like a cocky person and really deserved a beating.
I have to say that even T'Challa, who has a home in the mine, is a little envious of him. No matter how rich Wakanda is, it is still just one of many countries in the world. It is not as cool as this guy.
"Okay, let's get down to business. What on earth happened while I was away?"
Amid the noise, Dio brought the topic back on track.
Then, it suddenly became quiet...
It's understandable that Thor puts on a gloomy look, after all, he has lost his home, but what's wrong with these people
"Let me tell you, Strange... is missing and his whereabouts are still unknown. We have used a lot of resources but haven't been able to find him." Steve stood up and said.
"Are you sure you're missing, and not that you used a portal to go on vacation to some remote place on Earth?" Dio was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that the thing that made everyone look unhappy was about Strange.
"He's definitely missing, and he might have been attacked. Maybe..." Steve shook his head, hesitating.
Dio felt as if he was completely out of sync with them. From what Steve said, he must have known something to make such a guess.
"Let's start from the beginning. What happened? Anyway, it has already happened. It's useless to think about it now."
Steve nodded, and then began to tell what he knew: "It all started with a phone call from Tony..."
A few minutes later, when Dio finished listening to Steve's story, his brows immediately frowned.
"You're saying that a woman attacked Vision first, trying to steal the Mind Stone, and then let him go because, uh... she ate Vision's meal. Then Vision told Tony about it, and Tony struggled for a long time and then tried to indirectly inform you, but at this time Strange couldn't be contacted, and no one even knew where he was? So you suspect that he was also attacked by the mysterious woman, am I right?"
Dio rubbed his temples and put things into perspective.
"That's pretty much it, but we can't be sure who was attacked first. It could be Vision, or it could be Strange, but we don't know the reason for attacking Strange," Steve added.
"I think I know why. Since the other party found Vision for his Mind Stone, then the reason for targeting Strange is self-evident. Naturally, it is to collect the Infinity Stones." At this point, Dio probably had some guesses.
When he was fighting with Thanos, he only saw his subordinates Corvus Glaive and Ebony Maw, as well as the sudden appearance of the goddess of death Hela. As for the other people, he did not see them. They must have been sent by Thanos to collect the Infinity Stones, so it was not surprising that they appeared on Earth.
And after successfully resurrecting Carol, he also learned from Carol that there was a very troublesome woman under Thanos's command. It was because of that woman that she fought to the death with Thanos' army and was finally captured.
At that time, Dio was wondering if the woman Carol was talking about was a superstar among the Black Ops who did not appear in the movie
Because there is too little information, it is just speculation.
As for why Carol didn't come back with him, that's another story and we won't talk about it for now.
Dio had no idea that Supergiant and Proxima Midnight had already been eliminated and left the group.
Plus the Ebony Maw he killed...
In fact, more than half of Thanos's Black Order have been killed, and they have been replaced by Hela and another mysterious woman.
These changes were completely unexpected for him.
Just as Dio said this and began to ponder, Steve seemed to have thought of something and was a little surprised.
"Are you saying that Strange also has an Infinity Stone?"
How fresh!
God knows how many years the Time Stone has been on Earth.
"That's right. In fact, the Time Stone has always been in the hands of the Sorcerer Supreme. The Sorcerer Supreme's duty is not only to protect the Earth from multidimensional invasions, but also to guard the Time Stone. Therefore, this matter has always been highly confidential. If Strange hadn't been in trouble, I wouldn't have told it."
Everyone nodded when they heard this, seeming to understand Dio's concerns. After all, each Infinity Stone could involve too many things.
It’s not a question of trust or not, but the fewer people who know, the safer it is.
After all, I have been through so much, and I have seen methods that can easily read memories beyond one's will, and there are also people who can directly deceive people into betrayal (Loki)...
So sometimes you can’t keep a secret just because you want to, there are just too many ways to achieve your goal.
"Then things are very clear. The other party's target is the Infinity Stones. Although I don't know why the other party chose to let Vision go, we must act. My intuition tells me that what the other party is planning will definitely bring a huge disaster to the earth." Steve said in a deep voice.
"In fact, this is exactly what I came back to tell you this time. If I am not mistaken, the mysterious woman should be Thanos's subordinate, ordered to collect the Infinity Stones."
"Thanos?" Everyone looked puzzled, only Thor seemed to have heard of this name.
"A great man who conquers the universe, with a 'lofty' ideal, kills half of all life on every planet he arrives at, so that the remaining people can enjoy the limited resources and have a better development and life. He believes that the current universe is too 'bloated', and the resources in the universe are not enough for so many people, so his ultimate goal is to destroy half of the life in the entire universe."
