Chapter 685
Loki immediately explained every information that he knew about the woman and everyone immediately furrowed their eyebrows with disbelief. The woman in question was a former leader of a sect that focused on helping each other, and now that the cult was already destroyed by Thanos, the woman had to serve Thanos if she still wanted to live!
“What’s the name of this cult you are talking about?” Dio asked curiously.
“It is Dark Crystal Sect! What’s wrong? Have you heard about them beforehand?” Loki asked confusedly. Dio didn’t say anything and tried to recall the name as he felt familiar with it. After a while, Dio finally realised that the sect’s name was the same as the Dark Personality that Cristal had in the past! But it was impossible! Dio was sure that he had already destroyed that personality once and for all! How could a personality survive without its host’s body?
But Dio immediately froze once again as he remembered The Grandmaster’s diagnosis on Cristal’s sickness. He said that Cristal lost a part of her soul, and that was the reason why she couldn’t wake up completely as she needed her other half to completely wake up!
Dio immediately began to recall his memories in a specific time frame; the moment where he killed Cristal’s second personality, to the time when Cristal first fell asleep without waking up for a long time, and every time he had to check on Cristal after what seemed to be a progress was made.
He also remembered the woman saying that Dio would know everything once she killed him. It all made sense now! Dio had already killed Black Cristal before, so it went without saying that she sought revenge against Dio!
“Is this the ability of the Reality Stone? It also affects one’s dream too?” Dio said to himself as he finally felt sure about the woman being the Black Cristal, another personality that was supposed to be dead not long ago! But just as Dio almost sorted the mess of information in his head, a hail suddenly fell.
Everyone began to look into the sky confusedly as they knew that Wakanda wasn’t supposed to have hail! But that confusion soon turned into panic as they realised that it wasn’t hail at all! The thing that was falling from the sky were the black shining crystals! This was a rare gem that would work finely in the market, but for now, the gem was falling from the sky and smashed everyone’s head open!
“Be careful! Look out for the falling gems!” Scott shouted as he shrank to evade and escape the crystals. Dio immediately released the power of ice and tried to freeze all the crystals in the air! Wanda also tried to help and created an energy barrier that would block the gem from hitting the heroes. But suddenly, the gem started exploding without any good reason. The one thing that they didn’t know was that the Crystal that the Black Cristal summoned was no ordinary gem. It was a powerful bomb that blasted everything around it!
Dio and Wanda successfully blocked Black Cristal’s attack, but Wakanda’s soldiers weren’t really that fortunate. The soldiers who were hit by the Crystal’s fragment immediately turned into another Black Crystal and exploded not long after! This was like a chain reaction as the wave of attack wasn’t really over until no one else was hit by the fragment of explosion!
Thousands of Wakanda’s soldiers dropped in seconds, and the Ice Wall that Dio created also began to turn black at a speed that left anyone astonished! Dio was annoyed and immediately erected a new Ice Wall behind the one that began to turn black as well.
But as he created another wall like that, the Black Ice Wall immediately exploded! It was even more powerful than any other explosion that has happened so far! The explosion also turned the new Ice Wall black too! Dio was really annoyed as he had never encountered a plague-like bomb like this before! Everyone quickly gathered and protected themselves to make sure that the casualties didn’t grow any bigger.
“Stephen! Open a portal and take everyone away from this place!” Dio shouted at Stephen solemnly. Stephen immediately nodded his head and drew a portal to get out of this place that was ridden by the Black Crystal’s Explosives!
“Come on! Get out of here!” Dio shouted for everyone to get out with Stephen’s portal. Dio had to reinforce another Ice Wall as the second Ice Wall was about to explode once more. Dio didn’t understand the power behind this series of explosions. He didn’t even know if it was real, but he felt that the speed of infection of the Black Crystal was accelerating as if it was adapting to the situation at hand!
At the same time, everyone immediately rushed towards Stephen and used the portal to reach safety. Wanda was also among these people, but she constantly took a glance at Dio worriedly before evacuating through the portal!
“Goodbye!” Tony suddenly said as he was the last one standing on the portal! Dio instantly whipped his head towards Tony and saw that 9 Black Crystal’s bombs were already lying quietly near the portal, and Tony smiled at Dio before disappearing into the portal and closing it immediately!
As soon as the portal closed, the Black Crystal instantly exploded into countless fragments, targeting Dio and Galaxy that was nearby!
“Shit! She transformed into Tony!” Dio said as he felt unnerved by the woman’s trickery. Although he knew that the woman could transform into one of their own and even control anyone with so little effort, Dio never expected Tony to be one of them!
At the beginning of the war, Tony and Steve were the ones who rushed to the front, leading the rest of the Avengers to defeat the enemy!
At the same time, Tony, who left the portal last, immediately attacked Stephen, who was maintaining the portal! It was done to close the portal before the explosion happened.
“What are you doing, Tony!” Steve shouted as he looked at Tony in disbelief. Everyone knew that Tony had done something really bad, and they were too surprised to make a move. But it wasn’t the case for Wanda!
Wanda’s eyes instantly turned red, and she dragged Tony in the air and held Tony in massive pressure of Red Energy! Tony’s Steel Armour even began to make an unpleasant Metallic sound because of the pressure of Wanda’s power!
Wanda waved her hand, and Tony’s helmet was instantly torn off, revealing his painful face to everyone.
“I am going to kill you!” Wanda coldly said as she looked at Tony in contempt.
