Thanos didn't want to be a villain.

Xu Wenwu still tried to escape.

But they were held down by the Imperial Guards.

Ten Rings Summoning.

It was ineffective against the Imperial Guard.

Imagine if the Jaeger-Leader captured the Ring of Ten, a weapon Heimdall hailed as a threat to the gods.

Dio also referenced bio-alchemy when creating the Custodian Army, but bio-alchemical products alone could not pose a significant threat to the modified Astartes.

Dio then thought of many more things.

Initially, it was simply magic combined with bio-alchemy. Dio even used the forging techniques he obtained from Hephaestus to forge the bodies of the Imperial Guard as "metal."

This is what gave the Imperial Guards power comparable to that of gods.

After the journey to the Chinese gods, Dio drew on even more elements in his transformation of the new Imperial Guard: alchemy, Taoist soldiers, magic, and psychic power.

This gives the Imperial Guards physical attributes comparable to those of gods, coupled with their armor and extremely high magic resistance.

Many attacks are ineffective against them.

Not to mention Xu Wenwu, who was just an ordinary person, no matter how much he struggled, it was all in vain.

With Shi Huan imprisoned, Xu Wenwu was quickly escorted to Di E by the Imperial Guards who were assisting the Chinese soldiers.

Xu Wenwu, whose mouth was gagged, could not speak and could only stare fiercely at Di'e. When he saw the ten rings in Di'e's hands, he became even more fearless.

He secretly exerted his strength, trying to summon the ten rings, but the ten rings only flashed a little light and did not return to his hand as before.

Startled, Xu Wenwu, who had lived for over a thousand years, was undoubtedly a man of great vision and strength, but this was the first time he had ever encountered such a situation!

Dio, meanwhile, marveled at the glowing rings.

The ten rings before him were once an item of the Eternals, but they were not made by the Eternals. They simply incorporated some of the Eternals' technological elements. As for their specific functions, Dio did not know.

However, based on the images in my memory, the Ten Rings should be able to enhance the physical fitness of the holder by emitting energy radiation, enabling the holder to live forever. It can also generate various energy attacks depending on how the holder uses it.

As for its power, based on the intensity shown in the movie, it should be strong enough to contend with gods.

This thing was probably thrown into space when the Eternals were ambushed by the Kree after leaving Titan, but who knew that the Ten Rings would actually return to Earth.

Dio made a clicking sound.

The forging technique of the Ten Rings is superb. In addition to the Eternal Race's use of technology to modify it, there is also a trace of alchemy in the forging style of the magic weapon.

It was on a much higher level of craftsmanship than the one he made for Hyperion.

The "Ten Rings" he created for Hyperion was a purely technological construct with a significant drawback: it required factory repairs when damaged.

Regenerated metals in space are not effective at repairing large-scale damage unless modified using advanced technology.

But this ten-ring ring in front of him is different. Even if the core components are damaged, it can self-repair. This is not just a simple technological means. Moreover, in terms of energy release and body enhancement of the holder, it is conservatively estimated to be ten times stronger than the "ten-ring ring" he made by hand!

Looking at the ten-ring in his hand, he realized that this thing had taken Dio's forging skills to a whole new level.

Just as Dio was looking at the bullseye in his hand, a middle-aged man wearing glasses walked up to the leader.

"Jung Hyun, you've arrived."

Zheng Xian bowed and said, "I'm sorry, sir, our colleagues at the North American S.H.I.E.L.D. have run into trouble. S.H.I.E.L.D. attacked our people, and also..."

After a pause, Zheng Xian organized his thoughts and said in a low voice, "There's also the matter of those aliens in North America."

The visitor was Zheng Xian, the director of the Divine Spear Bureau of the Huaxia Organization.

The "aliens in North America" ​​he was referring to were Captain Marvel, a female Earthling who had a past relationship with Nick Fury, and the Kree fleet that opposed her.

The leader thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

Zheng Xian shook his head; it was all something he should do.

The two men approached Dio and said, "Your Excellency, this is Zheng Xian, the person in charge of our country's foreign affairs. He will be responsible to you from now on, and I'm afraid I cannot..."

Dio laughed and said, "I know that. We national leaders are all very busy. Otherwise, I wouldn't have you following me around all the time. It's not realistic."

The leader expressed his understanding and then gave Zheng Xian a few instructions before bidding farewell to Di'e and the others and leaving.

Zheng Xian watched the leader leave, then glanced at Xu Wenwu and asked, "You summoned Xu Wenwu just for the bullseye in his possession?"

“Our people once broke into Xu Wenwu’s house, intending to steal the ten rings, but they were unable to take them. Even if they had, they would have quickly returned to Xu Wenwu when he summoned them.”

"We don't understand the principle behind it either."

Zheng Xian shrugged and looked at Di E in a relaxed tone.

“It’s normal,” Dio said, examining the ten rings.

"The Ten Rings was an item that my clan once obtained. After being modified by technology, it disappeared without a trace. Later, for some unknown reason, it came to Earth and was picked up by Xu Wenwu."

"After he found it, the ten rings were locked with DNA. Only he or his direct blood relatives can manipulate the ten rings and can communicate with the holder's mind, that is, they can control the ten rings with their thoughts."

"However, recently, this ring emitted a peculiar energy message into the universe, which I captured and used to find this place."

After Dio finished speaking, he pretended to suddenly understand, but in his heart he cursed Xu Wenwu a thousand times.

If it weren't for this thing's ten-ring launch message, these aliens wouldn't have come. Although the arrival of aliens and the third kind of contact might bring opportunities to Earth, the international situation would definitely undergo tremendous changes!

If things were going in a positive direction, that would be fine, but if this person comes directly to China, the international situation will really change drastically!

China is very likely to become the target of public criticism!

"May I ask you, sir?" Zheng Xian quickly asked, looking like a curious child.

"What did the message say? Could you reveal it? Of course, please forgive any taboos."

Zheng Xian looked very cautious, just like a well-behaved child afraid of being beaten.

Dio was also deciphering the information within, and shook his head, saying, "It's not finished yet, but please don't have too high hopes. Even my race couldn't deduce the creator of this thing from its manufacturing process and function."

"If it's good news, that's for the best; if it's bad news, then Earthlings, you'd better pray for yourselves."

Dio finished speaking with a smile, then took the rings and left.

Xu Wenwu was also taken along.

After all, the ten rings are bound to DNA, so if there are any hidden functions, it's best to have this guy operate them.

As for how to do it?

Although Dio's mental abilities are not frequently used, they are not just for show!
