When Dio resumed the time flow again, Ronan was instantly beaten up and flung towards his own battleship while vomiting blood!

Everyone was shocked as no one was able to tell what happened just now! Everyone heard Dio said that Ronan has lost, and suddenly he moved in front of Ronan, while Ronan himself was instantly flung away forcefully!

Everyone wondered if that was Dios real power, as it was unbelievably overpowered! Even Ronan, who held the Power Gem, couldnt do anything to Dio at all!

But as everyone was shocked, Ronan stood up once more, he has already absorbed so much energy from the Power Gem, enhancing his endurance in the process, but it was still not enough to nullify Dios attack!

I am the strongest man in the entire universe! I will kill you painfully! Ronan said as he waved his weapons, but he soon realized that he only held the bar of his Warhammer while the head wasnt there anymore.

Are you perhaps searching for this? Dio said as he showed the Hammerhead to Ronan. Even though he wasnt an immortal, Dio could touch the Warhammers head as he covered himself with the Hamon Energy, protecting himself from the Power Gems energy! But if he held the Power Gem with his bare hands, Dio knew that he wouldnt be left unscathed!

Everyone focused on Dio once more as they were curious to see what Dio held in his hands, but they were even more shocked to see Dio wasnt only able to deal with damage to Ronan but also stole his weapon while he was at it! Everyone wondered how Dio was able to do such a thing!

Ronan himself was confused about how Dio managed to dismantle his weapon like that as he didnt see anything at all!

But on top of that, he had to get his hands on the Power Gem as he hasnt destroyed Xandar as he initially planned!

Ronan, who still couldnt accept the reality that he had lost, walked towards Dio despite his injury! On Ronans mind, he thought that all of this was just an illusion created by the enemy to confuse him!

He was determined to break this illusion and finally destroy Xandar before dealing with Thanos himself!

He rushed forward while holding the bar of his Warhammer to attack Dio, but he little did he know that this was not an illusion, that Dio truly has beaten him fairly!

And so, Dio retaliated by swinging his scythe swiftly, causing Ronan to freeze in place, slowly losing the light on his eyes!

Ronans body eventually collapsed, and as he fell, his head rolled on the ground! not only that but, Ronans prized battleship was also cut in half behind Ronan and exploded for whatever reason after being cut in half!

The surrounding was covered in fire, and the only one who stood in the middle of it all, completely unfazed, was Dio! The scene that enveloped before their eyes shocked everyone to their core!

It was clear on everyones mind that Dio was far more dangerous than Ronan could ever be!

..

The pain of war was clearly seen on Xandars population as some of their relatives and close friends were killed in the city, but everyone knew that the only one they could blame had met his end, and there was no one else to hate!

The Guardian of the Galaxy, the Ravagers, and Dios crew were credited as the war hero for their performance!

At the banquet, Dio didnt join the party as he used Novas medical centre instead! He wanted to see whether the Nova Empires medical technology could detect anything wrong with Crystal, who kept falling asleep randomly. But the result still disappointed him.

I am very sorry, sir, but this is not a disease! The patients chaotic sleep pattern might have something to do with the unknown energy that was trapped inside her body! But we couldnt help her as the spiritual and energy-based anomaly wasnt our forte! the doctor said honestly to Dio.

Only

That was the truth. The doctor there has never encountered anything like this before. That was why they couldnt help identify Crystals sickness, but they believed it had something to do with the energy inside Crystals body!

The Nova Empire was a race that was sensitive to fluctuating energy. That was why they could tell that Crystal had an enormous energy reserve inside her body like a battery!

Dio sighed and nodded to the doctor as he understood that there was nothing that they could do here.

Dio thought over about what he should do and decided to ask Tivan later about Crystals matter.

As Dio leave the medical centre, he met with the Nova Commander once more. Can we talk for a while? The Nova Commander asked Dio as they walked together. Dio nodded his head and continued to walk with the commander.

I know that words dont mean much, but I thank you for what you have done for us. On behalf of the entire Nova Empire, we are grateful to receive your help! Nova Commander said solemnly.

Dio nodded and then stopped walking, Does the Nova Empire want to keep the Power Gem? I will gladly let you keep it from any bad peoples hand! Dio said with a smile on his face.
