Chapter 774 Tricky Dior
Dio Brando! The Ancient One has long observed him along with Stephen Strange! The first time the Ancient One was intrigued by Dio was when he came to Strange’s hospital and asked Stephen to teach him medicine, which wasn’t normal in this kind of age.
So, she paid special attention to Dio, and then she was surprised to find that Dio wasn’t an ordinary person at all. Not only did he have a strange power and ability, but he was also a hero of his own worth. But that was not all! She also found one surprising power that kept her intrigued for a long time, which was Dio’s ability to stop time!
Dio’s time stop ability was the closest ability to the Time Stone as it affected the entire universe! The Ancient One has seen so many variations of the Time Stop ability before, but none of them affected the whole universe as the Time Stone did.
She had already studied so many ancient texts about time for countless years, but she didn’t have a clear explanation of how Dio could do such a thing!
This was the reason why she was intrigued and kept Dio’s name on her watchlist. As a matter of fact, she was still currently observing Dio in this reality. But she didn’t know that she would make a choice to teach Dio about the Mirror Dimension in the future.
The letter from Dio itself was a letter of gratitude for everything that the Ancient One had done in the past. Although she didn’t really understand half of it as she hadn’t experienced it herself, she knew that it was genuine and truthful. Nevertheless, she now knew that the choice she made in the future would be the right path, and that was enough!
The Ancient One then got rid of the letter as it shouldn’t exist in this time period, and she immediately turned her attention back to Bruce Banner once again. She immediately fused Banner’s soul back to his body, and Banner once again felt the gravity taking control of his weight.
Banner immediately felt queasy as he felt like his head has been spinning for a long time.
“Maybe, I am the one in the wrong this whole time.” The Ancient One said with a smile on her face as she walked toward the Hulk. She immediately opened the Eye of Agamotto and took out the Time Stone from within, and gave it to the Hulk.
After reading Dio’s letter, she chose to believe in the future.
“It’s all up to you now, Bruce.” The Ancient One said with a smile on her face before she walked into the Sanctuary. Hulk just nodded solemnly and walked away from the Sanctuary.
………………..
The chaos in New York was coming to an end, and Steve, along with his team, successfully made their way towards the top of the Avenger’s tower and saw the Scepter with the Mind Stone not too far away from them, but they couldn’t find a chance to take it away as Dio in this time was so fierce.
“Has Dio always been this… uncontrollable?” Scott asked as he knew too little about Dio.
Dio already killed hundreds of enemies in just a few minutes! Whether it was using the huge scythe in his hand, the ice attack that he blasted like a machine gun, or even the strange things that he summoned, everything was devastating for the enemy. Steve and the others could only clearly see how reliable Dio as a comrade was when they saw him from the third-person perspective like this.
“What should we do now? Should we go in after Bucky took his shot, or should we go in right now?” Tony asked curiously.
“We should act as planned!” Steve said as he groaned slightly.
The plan wasn’t complicated at all. Scott should be distracting the Steve at this time, and Steve would immediately take the Mind Stone! Dio in this time shouldn’t have thought that Steve, who came later, would be Steve in the future. If Bucky came out midway and wanted to steal the Mind Stone, Tony would make sure to obstruct him from doing so.
The only thing that Steve was worried about was if Tony couldn’t control his emotion and kill Bucky. If that happened, everything would become a problem! But it was best to think about it later.
As for Luci, Steve asked her to become a distraction with Scott.
If Ant-Man failed to distract the Avengers of this time, then it was best to have a backup, and that was where Luci came. Steve just hoped that Luci was as strong as Dio said she was.
After the plan commenced, Scott immediately caused some distraction for the Avengers. He killed several Chitauri army soldiers and also attacked Steve from this time frame in the face!
“Be careful. There are new enemies joining the fray! I can’t locate them yet, they may have stealth ability!” Steve said as he felt like he was punched in the face. He immediately stood up and monitored his surroundings in vigilance while reporting any abnormal situation to the other Avengers.
“This has nothing to do with stealth!” Scott said as he stood on Steve’s shoulder. He jumped and punched Steve in the face once again. “Sorry, but this is what you asked me to do! Don’t hate me!” Scott said casually.
Scott then ran towards the nearby building and reverted to his original size, but at that moment, he was struck by an explosive arrow!
“The enemy has showed himself! Surround him, I will cover you!” Clint Barton said as he occupied the high ground.
Natasha then suddenly appeared from the corner and attacked Scott directly. Fortunately, Scott reacted in time and disappeared from everyone’s view once again.
“Over there!” Clint shouted as Scott returned to his original size again, not too far from the earlier spot.
“Don’t chase him, it could be a trap!” Steve said as he stopped Natasha from chasing after Scott. He felt something was off as he saw Scott’s retreating figure, and that was why he stopped Natasha from chasing the enemy down.
