Chapter 650
Since Thanos was going through all the trouble to wait for Dio, that meant Carol was still safe! So, Dio was ready to take advantage of that time frame to strengthen himself! He filled his Gold Storage with the entire 5 Tons of Gold from the base and locked himself inside his room in Hamon to start the Gacha System. He got to roll 5.000 10X Draws, and it was the highest amount of Draw that he has ever done before!
Dio took a deep breath and tried out his luck immediately!
……………….
At the same time on Earth.
Thor arrived with his people and contacted Steve immediately. He briefly explained what happened to Asgard, and Steve nodded in understanding. In fact, everyone else felt the atmosphere was heavy as they didn’t know what to say to comfort Thor.
Then it finally came to Thor’s request to let his people stay on Earth. Of course, T’challa immediately came forward and made use of Wakanda’s health to hire a large number of people to start building houses for Asgardians in the prairie of Wakanda.
The place that T’challa has allocated for Thor was wonderful, and Thor himself was delighted with it, leading to so much gratitude from the Asgardians themselves! He also didn’t forget Dio’s request to tell Wanda about Dio’s whereabouts, which was on his own planet!
The rest of the Avengers heard about Dio’s own planet and expressed their disappointment and unhappiness of Dio going on his own. Then again, they surely would wait for Dio to express their feeling themselves! Especially Wanda and Quicksilver, the angriest out of them all for leaving them behind!
The return of Hulk also surprised everyone. They didn’t expect the Hulk to abandon Earth and become a champion on another planet. It made them wonder what else in this universe that they didn’t know about.
But at the end of the day, Thor had achieved the most important thing for him right now! He had provided another settlement for Asgardian, albeit temporarily. But one last thing that they didn’t know was that another spaceship had landed on Earth, and a beautiful woman walked out of it.
“I am back, Earth! Are you ready for a surprise?” The woman said with a sinister smile on her face. She opened her arms, and all the trees and animals within ten miles suddenly turned to ashes. As of this moment, Earth has become a dangerous place for any living being!
……………….
On Vormir, the Grandmaster was holding his sceptre as he followed a tattered map to find the place that was supposed to hide the Soul Stone!
“En Dwi Gast, a being born in a highly intelligent race! A member of the Elder of the Universe, this is unexpected to have such a man of your stature to come to such a place!” The Red Skull said with a hoarse voice.
“Do you know me?” Grandmaster said curiously as he never met the strange creature that floated mid-air in front of him. the creature had called his real name that the Grandmaster himself had almost forgotten!
“This is my curse as anyone that steps into this place would have their identity laid bare in front of me!” the Red Skull said indifferently.
“Interesting! What is your name? who had imprisoned you here? are you interested in striking a deal with me?” The Grandmaster excitedly said as he seemed to forget about the Soul Stone. The Red Skull has not yet shown his face to the Grandmaster, and so, he lifted his veil and showed the Grandmaster his appearance.
“I was teleported here by the Cosmic Cube in search of the Soul Stone, but right when I am about to have it for myself, it cursed me and bound me to this place! I couldn’t leave this place alive as I had already become the Soul Stone’s slave. As for my name, you can call me Red Skull!” Red Skull said indifferently.
“This is peculiar. The Soul Stone was rumoured to be the most mysterious of all the six Infinity Stones. It possesses unique wisdom and power, which makes it the most desirable stone out of all. Now that I see you here, I’m starting to believe the rumour that circulates about that stones!” The Grandmaster said while smiling from ear to ear. As a man that had lived as the universe was born, the Grandmaster knew a lot of secrets regarding the universe itself that no other people could imagine!
Hearing the Grandmaster’s word, Red Skull suddenly fell silent. It was obvious that the Grandmaster’s words were the truth, but it was unfortunate for the Red Skull that he obtained such information too late!
“So, do you still want that Stone, o’ noble ancient life?” The Red Skull said, breaking the silence.
“Oh no! I came here purely out of curiosity! I want to know the requirement to take it and what the cost is. That is my only reason here!” The Grandmaster said with an attitude. The Grandmaster’s answer was beyond the Red Skull’s expectation as it surprised him that he fell into another silence.
“Very well, please come with me!” Red Skull said as he turned around and started walking to the mountain. He didn’t say anything on their way until they reached an altar on top of the mountain, with a cliff right behind the altar. “The Soul Stone is right below this cliff!” The Red Skull said indifferently.
“Is that so? What kind of price does one have to offer to take it away from this place?” the Grandmaster asked the Red Skull curiously.
“The Soul Stone was the simplest out of all the Infinity Stones. On that note, the Soul Stone only asked for a sacrifice of what the possessor holds dear! In other words, a Soul for a Soul!” the Red Skull said indifferently.
“This is interesting, so interesting! A soul for a soul? What a reasonable sacrifice!” The Grandmaster said while laughing mockingly. “This is unfortunate, I have lived for so long, but I still don’t know what love is! In my long life, I only know what’s fun and boring! It is a shame that I won’t be able to have this stone for myself!” The Grandmaster said in a rather peculiar way.
“But just for clarification, what kind of love does it require here?” The Grandmaster asked the Red Skull once again.
“Family, friends, a love to a spouse, children, all type of loves!” The Red Skull answered indifferently.
“Really? But I think everyone would love themselves the most! Are you sure that there is no other condition to take that stone out of there? What if I jump there? What would happen?” The Grandmaster interrogated the Red Skull.
“I do not know the answer to that question, but I guess that you will die!” the Red Skull said indifferently.
“Soul for a soul? I seem to get the hang of this wisdom that the Soul Stone wants!” The Grandmaster said as he started to look down the edge of the cliff. His eyes showed the enthusiasm that he showed when he got a new toy. It was like he saw a form of gamble that he most desired on the entire universe!
“May I trouble you for a little?” the Grandmaster said to Red Skull excitedly.
“What do you want?” The Red Skull asked indifferently.
“Not much, actually! I just want you to hold this chip for me and bury it with me if I die!” The Grandmaster said as he handed over a white chip to the Red Skull.
As the Red Skull held the white chip in his hands, the Grandmaster immediately jumped down the cliff while laughing excitedly! The Red Skull was left on top of the mountain with the White Chip in his hand. He was confused by the Grandmaster’s action as he didn’t know the White Chip’s value!
