Thanos didn't want to be a villain.

Dio felt fortunate to be bald.

"Being so angry that his hair stands on end" is not even a sufficient description of his current mood.

His entire body erupted with energy, a scorching and deathly aura that wantonly destroyed the surroundings.

Dio tried his best to prevent the energy from harming his people, but he still couldn't shake off his bad mood.

The genetic code of the Eternal Race is in his own hands, but this secret is only known to his adoptive father, Alars, and himself. Even when he evolves his subordinates into Eternal Gods, he only explains it as a means to modify them as a way to change himself.

In other words, someone under his command knew about this news and even leaked it.

As for his father, Alars, he was a man who kept his mouth shut, and since this genetic code was basically related to the future of the entire tribe, Alars could not possibly tell anyone!

"It seems we need to thoroughly investigate whether there are any traitors." Dio's face was ferocious, his veins bulging, and he looked like a terrifying demon from hell.

With that, he left the ruins.

The tribesmen beside him were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, their mouths agape, as if they were stunned.

Dio summoned everyone together, but no one showed any weakness in the face of Dio's immense pressure.

Except for the one who was stunned, Dio locked him up.

After searching for a long time, Dio still couldn't find out who had leaked the information, which made him miss the five loyal henchmen of Thanos in the original storyline.

With no other option, Dio selected two of his clansmen to go with him to the Void, which was the Collector's headquarters.

The essence of the Void is the severed head of a gigantic humanoid creature. Many people say that it is the head of a god, and the brain, bone marrow, blood, and other contents are extremely precious items.

Dio looked at the enormous head and couldn't help but exclaim, "I'd only ever heard of it before, but seeing it now, I never imagined it would be so awe-inspiring."

How was such a huge creature killed?

After entering through the open mouth area and finding a place to park the spaceship, Dio swaggered in.

Dio's name is known to everyone, but the promotional photos show a large purple sweet potato with purple skin, while Dio, who has just changed his skin color and appearance, is hard to recognize.

The collector's maidservant compared him several times but couldn't recognize him until she recognized the attendant beside Dio and realized who he was.

"Honorable guest, the great collector Divan is waiting for you." The maid bowed, and Dio nodded, signaling her to lead the way.

The maid led Dio and his entourage on a long journey before arriving at a very inconspicuous house. The maid then instructed that the entourage not be allowed to enter.

Dio told them to wait at the door and went inside alone.

"Lord Divan, Lord Dio has arrived," the maid called out to a tall man with white hair who was facing away from them.

Hearing the voice, the man turned around and said happily, "Oh, my dear Talia, you have finally brought our distinguished guest."

“My dear Mr. Dio, I have long admired you.” After dismissing the maid, the collector happily stepped forward and curiously touched Dio’s body.

“Oh, Mr. Dio, I thought you were purple, and your chin…” the collector said in a strange tone, gesturing to Dio’s chin.

"I just want to change my image." Dio looked down at the collector. He didn't know much about this elder of the universe, only that the other party was very long-lived.

“I think we should get to the point sooner rather than later,” Dio said earnestly, looking at him.

The collector smiled, stepped back, and clapped his hands.

In a corner, two fully armed soldiers carried out a man with his head drooping and wearing bizarre clothes. Dio was puzzled; the man looked familiar, but he couldn't quite place him.

The collector then stepped forward, turned his face up, and said to Dio, "Mr. Dio, do you remember? This is your dear brother!"

Seeing the man's bruised and swollen face, Dio finally remembered that this was his younger brother, Eros!

"He wandered around under the alias Star Fox, leaving his mark on every woman and gambling heavily, thus accumulating a mountain of debt," the collector said with a laugh. "Unfortunately, Mr. Dio owes me a large sum of money, and when my men went to collect, he not only claimed to be your brother but also revealed a huge secret."

Upon hearing this, Dio realized that Eros was behind it all.

However, Eros probably doesn't know that his father passed on the genetic code to him.

No, the collector just said that Eros is wandering?

“That’s not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he also bribed one of your men, one of your ambitious men!” The collector said a name, then gave him a look that let Dio figure it out himself.

Suppressing his anger, he narrowed his eyes. Over the past few centuries, he had treated them well, providing them with all sorts of benefits. They were all indispensable in building this vast family fortune.

"Then why are you telling me all this?" Dio asked, taking a deep breath.

“I don’t want my customers to be completely unaware when they do business with me,” the collector said decisively, shrugging.

"I want the afterglow of creation. My subordinate and genetic code are yours as payment. As for my good-for-nothing brother, I'll trouble the collector to help me settle his debts." Dio's expression was calm, revealing neither joy nor anger.

The collector's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands as he stepped forward.

"I didn't expect Mr. Dio to be so generous. It's settled then!" He then extended his hand, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Dio took a small instrument from his pocket and placed it in the collector's hand. The collector eagerly turned around and checked it on the computer.

Dio, however, turned and walked back outside.

Surprisingly, the traitor happened to have come to the Void with Dio today, so he could now deliver the goods smoothly. He grabbed his terrified subordinate, delivered a casual blow that rendered the man helpless, and then tossed him like trash in front of the collector.

"He's yours now." With that, she dragged Eros along like a rag doll and took a full bottle of Creation's Afterglow in one hand.

He returned to the spaceship while another subordinate looked on in bewilderment.

Inside the spaceship.

[Congratulations, host, for successfully dealing with the traitor and receiving a treasure chest.]

On the way back, the system's voice sounded in my mind again.

"System, you're really good at hiding, haven't you come out for decades?" Dio replied calmly in his mind.

"Oh dear~ Host, aren't you making things difficult for me? You've always been content with the status quo, and I don't know how to reply to you." The system sprite said playfully.

Dio shook his head, ignoring the system and turning his gaze to the newly issued treasure chest.

"Host, host, I can give you a sneak peek at this treasure chest. The stuff inside is definitely top-notch!" The system sprite whispered quietly in Dio's ear.

Dio's eyes lit up when he heard what the system sprite said.

The system wizard rarely lies, so the items you get should be pretty good.

Then Dio waved his hand, and the treasure chest opened.
