Chapter 649
When Thanos’ army appeared near Hamon, the tourist immediately ran as far away from them, causing Hamon to be devoid of tourists! The Dark Elves that were stationed on Hamon were waiting for their chief to arrive. On this day, the Dark Battleship finally arrived at Hamon. Dio immediately stepped out of the Dark Battleship and was welcomed by Mappedoff in a wheelchair.
“You are finally back!” Mappedoff said with excitement.
Dio was silent for a moment as he saw that Mappedoff had lost his legs. “I was negligent, I am sorry! How is the situation right now? How many of our men were injured, and where is Carol?” Dio asked solemnly.
“Follow me, sir! Because our base has already been exposed and almost destroyed. I have moved it to the depths in the scenic area. Please forgive me for taking the initiative without reporting to you first!” Mappedoff said solemnly.
“It’s fine! You did a good job there!” Dio patted Mappedoff’s shoulder. Dio was already prepared for the worst, but now he realised that the situation wasn’t as bad as he thought it would! But now, Hamon clearly lost all the tourists! Soon after, Dio arrived at the new base, and Mappedoff reported everything that happened during Dio’s absence!
“After you left, we continue to strengthen the planet’s defence. We also continue to mine the gold as you wanted. The tourism and the weapon development also went smoothly! But one day, the Mad Titan appeared with his army in search of something. He began to interrogate some of our people regarding your whereabouts. We refrain from saying anything about you, so he began to force us by using violence! I informed you of the danger immediately using the emergency contact. But I found out soon after that it was what the Mad Titan wanted! I am so sorry, sir! It slipped off my mind that the Mad Titan could trace our signal like that!” Mappedoff said apologetically.
“The Mad Titan is too powerful! Although I had already evacuated almost everyone in time, many of our people were sacrificed because of that. Even Red Rose was killed by a woman in a cape. I also lost my leg at the same time! Your friend Carol arrived in time to rescue us and fought off the Tyrant’s army by herself! In the end, she successfully repelled the Annihilation Army and caused massive damage to the Mad Titan! But in the end, she was also captured by the enemy!” Mappedoff continues.
“But shortly before your arrival, the Mad Titan conquered Xandar and destroyed the Nova Corps. Judging from the news, it seems he wants to use Carol’s life to force you out, sir! He threatened to kill Carol and Destroy Hamon if you didn’t comply!” Mappedoff said worriedly. “The news came from a trusted resource, so I doubt that it was a hoax!” Mappedoff said solemnly.
………………………….
After hearing Mappedoff’s report, Dio couldn’t help but wonder and frown at the same time. Although the current situation wasn’t the worst-case scenario that he had thought of, it was bad nonetheless! Carol was caught, which surprised him a little bit! After all, Carol was very strong, and she shouldn’t have any problem escaping on her own.
But from Mappedoff’s report, it seemed that the Annihilation Army already planned to leave and retreat from Hamon as soon as she caused major havoc, but why did she continue to chase after Thanos? He already made it clear to only repel Thanos out of Hamon instead of dealing with him like she did when Dio contacted her before.
This situation didn’t make any sense for Dio right now. Dio couldn’t figure out Carol’s goal, but there was no doubt on his mind that he had to rescue Carol immediately! Now, Dio had to find a way to rescue her! Furthermore, it was obvious that the Dark Elf wanted revenge for their brethren and Red Rose!
Dio sighed as Thanos truly would stop at nothing to have the Infinity Stones! It was clear that Thanos had already learned about the Power Gem that was now in Dio’s possession. He must be prepared to fight Thanos now as he had to rescue Carol! There was no doubt in Dio’s mind that his excursion this time would be the most dangerous one!
Dio began to think long and hard as Carol was captured, and it wouldn’t be easy to rescue her. Now, Dio began to think of what his ability could do in this situation. He knew that half-assed ability wouldn’t work against Thanos. In fact, if he really had to consider the safety of the Dark Elf, he had to evacuate them from this planet immediately, and if he had to think rationally, he didn’t have to rescue Carol at all!
But his morals prevented him from doing so as he couldn’t do that to a comrade! Furthermore, Carol was in her predicament right now because of Dio himself! He definitely couldn’t ignore Carol now! Dio realised now why Thanos didn’t bring his army to Asgard this time as it was all because Carol impeded his way!
Although she was captured, she dealt Thanos a heavy blow by ransacking his ship! Now, Thanos was forced to repair his ship on Xandar. It was all really a butterfly effect, and it was his course of action that caused all this to happen!
“So, where is the gold that has been mined?” Dio asked Mappedoff.
“It is on the old base, sir! Tourism has been closed for the moment, so our mining has been more efficient. We have about 5 tons of gold that were ready to use, sir! However, due to the battle with the Mad Titan earlier, some Gold Vein has collapsed. We don’t have enough manpower to clear the rubble and open up a new spot, sir!” Mappedoff said solemnly.
Dio was a little bit surprised that they had mined 5 tons of gold. It is a lot! Dio was satisfied by the amount of gold that he could use to draw from the gold pool this time!
“Good job! Tell the rest that when I am done with the gold, we have to evacuate this planet!” Dio said with a smile on his face.
“Sir, are you giving up on this planet?” Mappedoff asked as he wasn’t sure of Dio’s goal.
“No, it’s just temporary until I deal with that Tyrant! After all, if we don’t deal with him, he will just return and cause another havoc! We will come back after I deal with him later! At that time, we will turn this place into paradise without war, a holy place where the people of all races could live together peacefully!” Dio said honestly.
Mappedoff nodded excitedly, and then he moved his wheelchair to the control room as he wanted to notify all Dark Elf about what they would do next!
