Dio thought he had grasped the key.
However, the difficulty of the matter was beyond his imagination. If the other party really had the Reality Stone in his hand, it would mean that the enemy hiding in the dark already had at least two Infinity Stones.
Coupled with Strange's disappearance, the whereabouts of the Time Stone has become confusing...
Dio frowned tightly. Who is this woman who suddenly appeared
"There's no time to waste. Let's get started."
Everyone nodded, and immediately cooperated with the Wakanda army to launch a search.
Although it is difficult to achieve any results if you do this without any clues, you must seize even the slightest chance!
Dio did not act with anyone. He chose to return to the laboratory alone, then summoned [Melancholy Blues] and tried to use [Melancholy Blues]'s special ability to track the enemy.
But when he rewound "Melancholy and Blues" to the few minutes before and after the fake "Wanda" appeared here, he found that "Melancholy and Blues" did not respond at all.
This is the first time this situation has happened!
Is it because of the Infinity Stones or... the other party didn't really appear here at all, and what Steve and the others saw was just a 'fake' Wanda
This is not impossible. When Gamora "killed" the fake Thanos in the void, she was completely unaware of anything unusual.
Apart from the fact that Thanos is a little too "killable", there are no flaws at all.
It has flesh and blood, can speak and move, and even the feeling of having a dagger stabbed into the chest is exactly the same.
You could even say that it’s true!
If you think about it this way, the other party probably took away the Mind Stone in this way, and she herself hid herself.
He chose the most reliable method to achieve his goal. It seemed that the enemy was more cautious than he thought.
Dio no longer wasted energy and directly took back [Melancholy Blues], then summoned a substitute that he had originally planned to keep and destroy.
It was an ordinary-looking fishing rod, and he was going to try to use it to catch the hiding 'big fish'!
Stand-in: Beach Boys
Introduction: It's just a fishing rod
Type: Equipment
Ability: "The Willing One Takes the Hook"
The hook and line can penetrate objects to directly hook or attack the target. Bait can be placed on the hook to set a trap. The hook can sense the breath of nearby creatures, and attacking the line will transfer the attack to the hook.
Attributes:
Destructive power: C
Speed: B
Range: C (line length)
Sustainability: C
Precision: C
Growth: A
Evaluation: The bait comes willingly means that I can force the prey to be hung on the hook by my own will.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
This is a stand that looks pretty useless. Apart from its high A growth rating, there is nothing else that stands out.
But the current situation is just right for use.
Dio speculated that the enemy had been using the power of the Reality Stone to conceal its existence, achieving an effect similar to invisibility, even completely eliminating factors such as smell.
But this does not mean that the other party does not really exist!
So a fishing hook that can sense the presence of nearby creatures seems to be just the thing.
As long as you have this thing, you don't have to worry about being approached quietly by invisible enemies. It can be considered an assassin's nemesis equipment.
So, Dio started wandering around with the fishing rod, constantly searching using the information fed back by the hook.
No one knows what he is doing except himself!
Just like that, an hour passed and no one gained anything.
Especially when people run around like headless flies, it makes everyone feel irritated.
Looking for a needle in a haystack at least has a target, but what about them
They don’t even know whether the needle is still in the sea, so what’s the point of fishing for it
"Did you find anything?"
After walking around, Steve and Dio happened to run into each other.
"Not yet." Dio shook his head helplessly.
Steve also sighed when he saw this. "This is not a solution. Do we have to rely on luck all the time?"
"I hope the enemy can't help but take action. As long as they reveal their weakness, the situation will definitely change." Dio glanced at the shaking fishhook, wondering what he was thinking.
"You're right, it's too early to give up now." Steve said as he reached out to pat Dio's shoulder.
However, the next second, a dark red knife light flashed.
Steve's right arm was cut off by Dio with one blow, and blood gushed out immediately!
"ah!"
Steve broke out in a cold sweat, then looked at Dio in disbelief, "Why?"
"It's a very clever trick, but how many times do you plan to use it? And I'm also curious, who are you?"
Dio said coldly, and the hook had sunk into the ground without him noticing...
After confirming that Dio was not trying to trick him, but had seen through him, Steve immediately loosened his hand that was covering his broken arm and stared at Dio expressionlessly, "It seems that I still underestimated you. How did you find out?"
"Why don't you come out and ask me in person?"
Dio did not continue to attack, because he knew that even if he killed this fake 'Steve' it would be useless. Now he could be real, and of course he could not exist.
As for how he concluded that the 'Steve' in front of him was a fake, it was actually very simple. The moment he saw the other party appear, he used 'Xiao Qiang' to contact the real Steve, and then he knew everything.
In fact, after discovering the seriousness of the problem, they used snail communication to carry out the actual battle plan, ensuring to the greatest extent possible that it would not be known to any outsiders.
So this same trick will no longer work on them.
As long as the sneak attack is not successful, it will not cause too much trouble even if the opponent still has the Mind Stone.
Even if the enemy attacks forcefully, he will be exposed immediately!
After hearing Dio's question, 'Steve' just continued to sneer. It was obvious that she was very cautious and would not easily put herself in danger.
After Dio failed in his attempt, he did not get angry and continued to delay time, "I know, you are probably too ugly to be seen by others, so you have been hiding."
"It's useless. Do you think I will be fooled by such a boring provocation? Oh. By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that your friend named Strange is very tough, so I had to use some tricks on him. He probably won't last more than 48 hours. But I have a lot of time, so I can play with you guys forever."
Dio's grip on the knife tightened immediately. He didn't know whether what the other party said was true or not, but it was likely that Strange was in very bad condition.
