Wanda, calm down! Steve said as he tried to dissuade Wandas anger. The other Avengers were also anxious about the situation, but they knew that they would have a hard time calming Wanda down if she was out of control. The only one who could instantly calm Wanda down was Dio, but they didnt know whether Dio was alive or not after what Tony did.

Let him go. I am fine! a familiar voice suddenly said from the side.

Dio! Wanda shouted as she saw Dio get off Galaxys back. She let go of Tony, and he immediately fell to the ground. Wanda didnt seem to care as she immediately walked towards Dio excitedly.

Relax, I am fine! I am not that easy to kill! Dio said as he immediately patted Wandas head gently. Everyone was also relieved that Dio was fine and Wanda didnt drown in rage.

What is going on here? Tony attacked Stephen as soon as he came out of the portal, and now Stephen is in bad condition! Steve said as he walked down towards Dio. Dio immediately let go of Wanda and took a look at Stephens injury. He immediately saw that Stephen had a hole on his stomach, courtesy of Tonys attack, and nodded with a smirk on his face.

Stephen, who couldnt speak due to the pain he felt on his body, rolled his eyes as he knew what Dio was thinking. He already knew how bad Dios personality could be, and if it were not because of the pain, he wouldve shouted and scolded Dio to no end.

Tony was being controlled by that woman. Let him sleep. It should wear off soon! Dio said casually. Natasha immediately stunned the unconscious Tony once more to make sure that Tony wouldnt wake up anytime soon. Still, everyone felt a little bit uncomfortable knowing that the leader of the Avenger could be controlled by the enemy so easily. it was fortunate that Dio could escape the enemys trap without any injuries. Had it been any other person, it wasnt likely they would survive!

Meanwhile, Dio himself was using [King Crimson] to survive the Womans Black Crystals explosion. He couldnt use the Time Stop ability that belonged to [The World] as Galaxy wouldnt be affected by that, so the only option he had was to erase the time itself! After he survived the explosion, he used Galaxys power to make a portal to where the rest of the Avenger was.

The woman could never expect that Dio could delete the time itself and be able to escape unscathed! Dio himself still looked at Tchalla with a sorry sight as he didnt mean to let all those Wakandan armies die like that!

Dio took out the pocket snail from Tony and placed it on Stephen, who was about to die! Immediately, the snail did its magic and covered Stephens wound with life energy. It didnt take long before Stephen was as good as new.

Dio sighed in relief as he didnt have to use his Reality Overwrite anymore. He didnt have that many Soul left, after all. Furthermore, he didnt know what would happen in the future, so he couldnt swap his Stand carelessly. Replacing a card had 24-hour cooldown and he couldnt waste time without any consideration of what he should do next.

What is the body count this time? Dio asked solemnly.

Its a lot. The whole army is gone! Steve said gloomily. The incident was way too sudden, so the soldier couldnt escape safely.

What the hell! Scott shouted as he was startled by the thing on Lokis hand.

What? I am curious; blame me! Loki annoyedly said as he held one of the Black Crystal Bomb in his hand, but strange enough, he wasnt affected by it. The Black Crystal Bomb was really something spectacular and yet also vicious! The explosion itself wasnt that powerful, but the infection rate once the fragment started flying was astronomical! Once someone was as little as scratched by that flying fragment, they were as good as gone!

It could infect not only humans but also surrounding stones, grass, and even Dios ice wall! If this Black Crystal Bomb were thrown into a densely populated city, the aftermath wouldnt be pretty! That said city would become a dead zone in a matter of minutes!

Fortunately for everyone who survived this time, they were on an open field this time. There were hardly any resources to transmit the infection, so the Black Crystal Bomb failed to kill everyone! But further use of that land was almost impossible as it was now dyed in black!

Still, we have to find that woman! Finding her was like finding a needle in a haystack! It was too annoying to do! Steve said as he ignored Loki.

You go and join Tchalla. I will stay here alone. Since the woman was hell-bent to fight me, she would come to me sooner or later! Dio said solemnly.

Its too dangerous! Are you sure about this! Steve asked worriedly.

I am sure! I believe she hadnt retreated just yet. She might not come out if you guys stay with me, so its better for you to leave with Tchalla. I believe that its the best course of action we should take. Dio said solemnly. Dio then glanced apologetically to Wanda. He didnt want to make Wanda worry about him, but it was simply the best course of action he should take.

Steve remained silent, but he didnt persuade Dio to reconsider his plan. Dios plan really made sense, and he didnt have any argument to throw anymore.

Be careful! Steve said as he didnt know what else to say at the moment.

I am waiting for you to come back! I hope that you are victorious in your endeavour! Wanda said as she knew that she couldnt persuade Dio either.

Since I already killed her once, I will be able to do the same again! Dont worry about me too much! Dio said as he hugged Wanda tightly. He saw the look of worry in Wandas eyes, so he hoped that little reassuring could convince Wanda that everything would be alright.
