Thanos didn't want to be a villain.

The universe has no shortage of time, especially for long-lived species like Dio, who can easily live for tens of thousands of years.

Over the years, Dio has become quite famous in the universe. He first subdued the assassin couple Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight, and then used an unknown biological weapon to conquer his entire galaxy.

However, contrary to his well-known bloodthirsty nature, Dio was actually quite kind-hearted; at least no one had ever heard of Dio issuing a massacre order on any planet he attacked.

In addition, given its formidable strength, the Cosmic Alliance and various empires have implicitly recognized Dio's territory.

"Lord Thanos, we have found the exact location of the planet Molag you are looking for," General Corvus Glaive said respectfully, kneeling on one knee before Dio.

Dio, who was using the Mind Stone to enhance his mental abilities, nodded without turning his head.

"Be careful. Although the Power Gem is encased in a shell, there may be unexpected events. Remember not to touch it directly with your hands, as the Power Gem will destroy any organic matter that comes into contact with it."

General Corvus Glaive nodded and turned to leave.

The Mind Stone was obtained during a cargo escort mission. The other party tricked Dio by not paying the agreed-upon reward, so Dio single-handedly wiped them out.

While collecting the spoils afterward, they accidentally discovered the Mind Stone.

Dio has always been weak in terms of mental abilities, so he spent a lot of time creating a helmet with extremely strong mental defense. Now that he has obtained the Mind Gem, Dio is constantly using the Mind Gem to enhance his mental abilities.

After obtaining the Mind Gem, the system offered several prizes. These included the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade from the world of "Swallowed Star" and a complete set of movement techniques, the Sky-Piercing Shuttle and a mental cultivation method, a meditation method to enhance mental power, a sacred golden bead from the world of "Corpse Brother," and finally, Superman's bio-field from the DC universe and the forging techniques of Hephaestus, a god from the Olympian race!

Although the Olympian gods in the DC universe rely on their own divine power and authority, Hephaestus's forging skills were accumulated little by little by himself!

These were quite an incredible gain for Dio.

Now possessing the Mind Stone, although he lacked Thanos's lofty ambition of wiping out half of all life in the universe, Dio remained passionate about the pursuit of power. Knowing his own weakness, Dio, after acquiring the Mind Stone, began searching for the only unclaimed gem currently available in the universe: the Power Stone!

The other Infinity Stones are either in someone else's possession or are sealed away.

Even the Soul Gem is the same.

However, Dio dared not use the Power Gem much, fearing that others might use it against him. Since it was still unclaimed, he decided to get his hands on the Power Gem first!

"Hmm..." Dio looked at the ever-changing shape of the Sky Shuttle in front of him without any ripples in his heart. He slowly closed his eyes and sat on the throne as if he was dozing.

"This Thanos is doing something completely different from other worlds. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, because his strength is the strongest I've ever seen. I should probably stop him, but I'm still very curious about how he did it." The strange voice sounded again, and Dio opened his eyes, which shimmered with a strange energy.

“You…” Dio seemed to see a figure with a strange, large head and wearing a blue robe.

I see you..........

Yes, Dio saw the figure of the other party. It was none other than Marvel's most famous observer, the observer Frog Tu who claimed to never interfere in any events, but who had influenced countless major events in the comics!

Fortunately, Dio had watched a few episodes of Marvel's "What If" series before his time travel. Although he hadn't watched many, he knew about this big-headed observer who liked to spy from behind.

"What!" The voice suddenly became flustered and disappeared in an instant, along with the feeling of being spied on.

Dio smiled slightly. To be honest, it was actually quite difficult for him to see the spying observer with his own strength. He mainly relied on the Mind Gem on the spy!

However, Dio was able to detect the Observer simply by relying on the Mind Stone's amplification, and because of the lack of comparison, he was unaware of the true extent of his own strength.

To have him challenge Odin as in the original storyline? Sorry, neither the comics nor the movies fully showcased Odin's power, but even from these glimpses, we can infer that Odin's power almost surpasses that of the Skyfather, reaching the level of a single universe.

He was terrified of death and didn't want to do anything he wasn't sure he could succeed at.

However, what just happened also showed that Dio's own strength was not weak at all.

Dio stroked his chin, looking quite interested.

"I never expected that Frog Tu, this old otaku, would have social anxiety."

After playing with the Mind Gem for a while, Dio took off his helmet. Instantly, the huge mental amplification disappeared, leaving Dio with a sense of loss.

However, after sensing it, although removing the Mind Stone made his mental power feel slightly weak, he still felt something in his mind crack open like a broken eggshell.

Dio clearly felt his mental power rapidly increasing. This wasn't an amplification from the Mind Stone, but rather the original power that the Mind Stone had activated within him! Dio opened his eyes, which shone with the same orange-yellow light as the Mind Stone. His mental energy surged instantly, and an invisible wave instantly enveloped the planet Dio was on! Feeling this powerful mental energy, Dio couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

Telepathy, telekinesis, mind control, mind reading, and mental control!

In an instant, Dio gained five superpowers related to the mind!

Dio let out a long sigh and smiled.

Like a child who has just received a toy, Dio recklessly used his psychic abilities to perceive the situation on the entire planet. Dio's first sight was the military camp. In addition to the bio-weapons, the Chitauri, Dio was also recruiting soldiers throughout his galaxy, and these soldiers each had their own strengths.

The race of Black Dwarf, one of the Black Order, is located within this galaxy, and Dio recruits soldiers from among them.

However, Thanos did not recruit Black Dwarf as his direct subordinate because, in both the comics and the movies, Black Dwarf's efficiency was really low. If it weren't for his superior physical density and strength, Thanos in the original comics would probably have kicked him out of the Black Order long ago.

Furthermore, with the beast-body technology of the Super God Academy, what does Dio need Black Dwarf for?

He also created two beast warriors!

Watching the two beast warriors, one indulging in a hearty meal and the other meticulously training soldiers, Dio felt somewhat helpless. The beast warrior, Soton, was a name Dio gave him, modified from a crocodile as a tribute to the Super God Academy. But for some reason, this Soton, like the one in Super God Academy, was undeniably exceptionally strong, but his personality was utterly goofy.

This made him think that Thorton from Super God Academy had traveled to the Marvel universe.

General Mountain, a beast-body warrior, was created by modifying a gorilla. He wields a pair of long maces, has a very serious personality, and is meticulous in his work, which is what makes Dio most gratified.

If Thornton was the vanguard charging into battle, then General Mountain was the commander and powerful warrior anchoring the central army.

Similarly, General Shan is now the only commander among his four generals.

As for the original Ebony Maw, Dio also encountered him, but Ebony Maw completely disregarded Dio's invitation and even tried to control his spaceship to attack Dio and kill him.

Then Dio counterattacked and blasted him into cosmic dust.
