Thanos didn't want to be a villain.

Chapter 54 Arrival on Earth (2.4k)

Tony Stark continued, "At the time, the Kree thought the pilot was a cyborg being researched by Mar-Vell in secret, so they wanted to attack directly, shoot down Earth, and capture her."

"Then that hot-tempered pilot utterly routed the fleet, and because Nick Fury was in charge of the matter, he became the contact person for that pilot."

"Later, the Kree fleet came several times, and the pilot, fed up with it, took the initiative to fly into space to search for traces of the Kree."

"Later, the alien incident in New Mexico led Nick Fury to restart his team's program. Since the faster-than-light engine involved the Tesseract that my father had studied, he invited me to study the Tesseract. As a result, the experiment went wrong. The Tesseract suddenly shone brightly and sucked me in. When I came to, I was inside the Transformer that was on a mission."

Tony Stark finished recounting the events with a blank expression, then suddenly snapped out of his daze, as if coming to his senses. He raised his hand and subconsciously touched his body, then touched his head and looked at Dio with a horrified expression.

"Were you frightened?" Dio said to him. "I just used my psychic abilities to put you into a kind of hypnotic state, which is why you said such a long string of words."

Although Dio could read minds, he was still used to listening to people talk, so he let him tell him what he knew so far.

Tony Stark still looked terrified, but he quickly calmed himself down with his breathing.

Dio, propping his cheek up, looked at Tony Stark in front of him and found it amusing.

Previously, Tony Stark on TV mostly appeared confident, and he was often seen as the leader of the Avengers. But now he sits on the ground looking terrified, completely lacking any semblance of composure.

"Alright, alright, don't look like you're about to die of fright. You seem like a pretty good researcher, so I'll give you a virtual reality helmet. There's a lot of stuff inside that you can study when you get home. I'll take you back to Transylvania later, and I'll also stop by to visit some old friends." Dio stood up and walked up to Tony Stark, looking down at him.

Seeing that the other party remained unmoved, he subconsciously kicked with his toe.

Tony Stark then came to his senses and, supporting Dio's calf, groggily got up.

"I remember hypnosis doesn't have any side effects, so is it something like post-traumatic stress disorder from the original story?" Dio looked at Tony Stark with a strange expression.

He shook his head, thinking to himself that this guy's mental defenses were too weak.

Soon, the spaceship was ready.

With his Imperial Guard and Transformers forces assembled, this was essentially Deo's private armed guard, which he had to take with him wherever he went.

"Are we really going back? To Earth? No, to the planet Transylvania you guys were talking about?!" Tony Stark had recovered and shouted as he entered the spaceship.

"Is that really Earth? Is that where I came from? You've come to the wrong place!"

Touching his left wrist, Tony Stark felt as if it were all a dream.

He was suddenly teleported to an extraterrestrial planet and even interacted with the people of the civilization there. Although the emperor wasn't particularly kind, he still gave him something.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Tony Stark wisely found a secluded corner to sit down and examined the bracelet on his wrist.

Dio just said he would give him a virtual universe helmet, but he also gave him a bracelet, saying that this bracelet was the Empire's latest multi-functional technology bracelet that integrates many functions.

It can make phone calls, access the internet, and monitor its own physical condition in real time. It is equipped with a quantum backpack that can theoretically store items without limit.

Of course, the virtual universe helmet was not forgotten; it was kept in the quantum backpack.

Actually, this backpack was inspired by a concept from a game. The principle behind it is to shrink the contents using a quantum singularity, and then restore them to their original size when the items are taken out.

This bracelet was originally a prototype made by Dio with the intention of military use. He gave one of the worst-performing ones to Tony Stark as a trial product.

Consider it charity.

"Sorcerer Supreme, I've decided to come to Earth for some fun today. Tell your people to be careful, lest they start fighting to the death as soon as I land." Dio's eyes glowed blue as he used a celestial projection-like ability under the guise of honing his psionic skills.

And standing before him was none other than the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth, the Ancient One!

Gu Yi, dressed in an orange-yellow mage's robe, frowned: "I wonder what brings you, as the overlord of the universe, to Earth?"

“Just catching up, and incidentally, establishing diplomatic relations,” Dio said with a smile.

Gu Yi's expression turned serious: "You've brought the Imperial Guard to establish diplomatic relations?"

Dio's expression remained unchanged, and he spread his hands: "What's wrong? These are my guards, responsible for protecting my safety and preventing anyone from assassinating me."

Looking at Dio's strange smile, the Ancient One was speechless. What in the entire universe could possibly hurt you?

Protect you?

Ghost letter!

However, the Ancient One closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "In that case, I welcome you on behalf of the Earth's magical community. Also, please restrain your power; no one on Earth can stop you."

The Ancient One had no choice. This wasn't one of those dimensional demons who could be easily tormented by her across dimensional barriers.

But the master in front of us is capable. He doesn't even need to come here in person. He can open a door outside Earth, project stellar energy, and directly saturate the surface with blood.

He was a supreme mage with formidable abilities, but not powerful enough to drag the entire world into the mirror dimension.

After receiving the message, the Ancient One immediately informed her disciples that Thanos, the current leader of the Empire and a dominant force in the universe, was about to descend upon Earth with his fleet.

Tell them to keep an eye on things and not mistake Dio's fleet for dimensional invaders.

The disciples looked at each other in bewilderment. The rulers of the universe weren't under their jurisdiction as esoteric mages, were they?

Gu Yi smiled but didn't say anything, giving them a look that they could figure out for themselves.

As Dio's vehicle, it can ensure that the people inside remain as stable as Mount Tai and will not experience any adverse reactions, even during continuous space jumps.

When Dio's fleet arrived in outer space, the group of sorcerers finally understood why the Sorcerer Supreme had said those things.

Dio's immense, suffocating psionic pressure, like a black hole, made all the mages gasp for breath, even when he wasn't on Earth.

It was truly suffocating. Seeing that many of her disciples were having difficulty breathing, and some had already suffocated and fainted, Gu Yi quickly used magic to resist and alleviate the terrifying pressure.

"If the Supreme Mage hadn't said so, I would have thought that the true form of that dimensional demon god had descended!" The Mage King said to Mordo beside him, catching his breath.

Mordo was no longer able to speak, so he nodded silently.

Although the Sorcerer Supreme helped them resist, the pressure still existed, only lessened. Seeing this, the Ancient One transmitted a message to Dio, saying calmly, "You've gone too far."

Dio sensed the anger beneath the other party's calm tone, curled his lip, and thought to himself that this was meant to give the Earth mages a warning.

He said, "I apologize, Supreme Master. I overestimated your disciple's strength. I will restrain myself now."

As he spoke, he slowly withdrew the oppressive aura that had been leaking out.

Dio also knew that since the Earth was now openly under the protection of the Ancient One, he still had to give it face.

Dio's use of energy was extremely subtle. Those with magical energy were knocked unconscious by his psychic pressure, while ordinary people only felt a sharp pain in their brains and then unconsciously raised their heads.

A gigantic Transformer-like spaceship, similar in size to the base of Transformers, hovered above Earth's orbit.

Meanwhile, satellites from those countries on Earth all simultaneously detected Dio's spaceship.

The whole Earth has exploded!
