Thanos didn't want to be a villain.

The DC universe is on par with, or even slightly stronger than, the Marvel universe.

However, regarding the major events that occur on both sides in the comics, Dio felt that there were still differences between the two.

If major events in the Marvel universe involve the entire universe and are generally known to ordinary people, then major events in the DC universe involve the entire multiverse.

It's uncertain whether ordinary people know this, but they will definitely be among the first to die.

They might not even survive in the end.

After major events occur in the Marvel universe, except for those involving the destruction of the universe, most other major events can repair the universe and even resurrect ordinary people.

As for how they fought against death to save lives.

Do not ask.

The answer is unlimited Originium.

But the allure of the DC for Dio might not be enough.

Many things may not be useful to Dio, and even if they are useful, he may not be able to seize them.

After thinking it over, Dio decided not to go to the DC world for the time being.

"So where do we go now?" Hela asked, leaning closer.

"How about we try to get some outside help first?" Dio suggested.

"What do you mean?"

"Find powerful forces from other worlds to fight against!"

Dio looked at the system interface in his hand.

“Finding a powerful ally is easy. After all, the ‘protagonists’ in each world are all quite strong. Right now, besides ‘Loki,’ the only other person who can help us is Li Quan, whom you mentioned when you obtained the system,” Hela suggested after a moment of contemplation.

"Although he has never killed anyone, he is capable and can provide support."

As she spoke, Hela seemed to remember something.

"Didn't we see some game and animation worlds a while ago? Can we go and try them out?"

"And didn't that kid Loki say that we have a unique multiverse here? Then let's go to other parallel worlds and find people to try, gather the power of our entire universe to be the vanguard generals, and then coordinate with the main army to launch an attack..." Hela paused here.

"It seems like we don't have enough troops right now?"

Hela's words made Dio realize that while high-level combat power was indeed needed, mid-to-low-level combat power was equally essential.

but……

“There are Thanos in other worlds too, we can use their minions as cannon fodder!” Dio nodded.

Hela lightly kicked Dio in the thigh: "Don't think I don't know, those Vanguards of Thanos are no match for your Vanguards! Using them as cannon fodder is just disgusting!"

Dio remained indifferent. Thanos's army in different universes was basically the same, consisting of only two or three types of people: Chitauri and the Vanguard.

The Chitauri army's strength is actually just so-so. Apart from its energy resources and ability to travel between stars, it is not very strong. If it were to fight on a planet, it would have no advantage other than outnumbering its troops. Moreover, the army is based on the Zerg hive mentality, and it would be very easy for it to be completely wiped out if it were to carry out a decapitation strike.

The only interesting thing is Thanos's Outriders, who are a group of genetically modified soldiers with functions similar to Parademons.

It can fly, become invisible, eliminate physical entities, and communicate through telepathy.

The difference is that Dio later made a further modification to the Vanguard, transforming them into combat experts similar to the Predator.

Thanos's Vanguard combines reconnaissance and combat, giving them a significant advantage if they remain hidden in the shadows, and also greatly increasing their chances of killing someone on sight.

However, Dio's Vanguard is different. It combines the combat skills of the Predator, including assassination, traps, reconnaissance, and poisoning. With Dio's upgraded equipment, it is even stronger than Thanos's Vanguard in direct combat.

"Then let's go to other worlds and see what Thanos are like there. We'll take those we can conquer, and wipe out the ones we can't!"

Dio clenched his fist and used the system to open the spatial gate.

Hela clapped her hands, stood up, and said, "How about I go to other worlds to find help?"

"These are all invaluable combat assets!"

Dio thought about it and realized that it was indeed possible to temporarily divide his forces into multiple groups.

Moreover, Hela is quite powerful now, and her personality has changed because of her increased strength. She is no longer the battle maniac she used to be, and she is usually very polite. As a member of the Asgardian royal family, she is very proper in her manners. If the other party is difficult to talk to and she can't win the fight, she can use the system to escape.

Therefore, there is not much to worry about regarding Heladior.

"Then be careful, and come back as soon as things get out of hand," Dio instructed again.

Hela waved her hand: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

With that, he opened another portal, said "See you later," and went straight in.

Dio sighed, "He didn't even bother to have a drink of water before he left."

After taking a sip of water to moisten his throat, Dio stepped into the portal he had opened.

The multiverse, number 616 (as they call it, the actual cinematic universe is number 863).

This time, Dio appeared on Titan.

"Wow, I just arrived and I've already seen this iconic scene." Dio looked at the scene before him.

Thanos in this world has been killed by Doctor Strange, with half of the Tyrant's Blade stuck in his chest.

At this moment, Doctor Strange was kneeling on the ground because of using the Dark Book.

Meanwhile, the Avengers—no, I should call them the Illuminati—are surrounding Doctor Strange, forming a protective circle.

"Who! Ah!" Professor X, sitting in his hovering wheelchair, spotted Dio immediately.

However, due to several modifications and enhancements, coupled with the power of psychic energy, Dio appeared to these telepaths as dazzling as a star and as soul-devouring as a black hole.

So, Professor X fainted very quickly after scanning the area with his psychic abilities.

Professor X's actions drew everyone's attention, but before they could react, they all felt a sharp pain in their heads and dramatically passed out.

Even the black Captain Marvel and Captain Carter did not put up any resistance.

Doctor Strange and Baron Mordo were the two most severely affected, and also the ones who persevered the longest.

Black Bolt turned around to launch a sonic attack, but was controlled by Dio's telekinesis and shut up. He then passed out in a spectacular fashion.

Dio walked up to Thanos's corpse and looked at his former self with a sense of melancholy.

What's so good about being a villain?

Especially in the world of American comic book superheroes, which is filled with various forms of individual heroism and their strange social values, Dio felt nauseous whenever he got involved with these people.

Even Tony Stark, if he hadn't been suddenly teleported out, Dio wouldn't have wanted to have any contact with them at all.

Doctor Strange felt guilty for using the Dark Book and let his guard down, soon fainting as well. Only Baron Mordo is still holding on.

"Who...are you?!" Baron Mordo's eyes widened in anger as he struggled to stay upright, veins bulging on his forehead like earthworms crawling across his face.

Dio ignored them and placed his hand on Thanos's head, probing for the remaining information in the body.

Soon, Dio learned the location of Thanos's headquarters.

They made a hole and left.

As for those lying there, Dio transformed Thanos's corpse into a psionic bomb.

In the end, they'll all be killed by the Scarlet Witch crossing over from another realm, so it doesn't matter whether they die sooner or later.

Baron Mordo: ...

Crossing the portal, Dio arrived at Thanos's stronghold in this world, the Dark Quadrant.

Like other cinematic universes, Thanos in this universe has two adopted daughters who rebelled, one dying and the other defecting to the enemy. All his generals are also dead, leaving only the Vanguard and the Chitauri army.

Dio's takeover went smoothly. Since they were both in the Marvel Universe, the system could directly construct a channel, and Dio directly packaged the entire group, including their planet, and sent them into his empire.

He had intended to notify Hela, but when he checked, she hadn't returned yet, and then he slapped his forehead.

"I forgot to ask!"

Dio completely forgot to ask Hela where she went!
