Chapter 688
The black wolves and crows really made things difficult. They weren’t particularly strong, nor were they fast, but when they died, they instantly explode! Dio already knew how powerful and devastating the Black Crystal Bomb was, so he had no choice but use a temporary Stand that he had saved for a long time!

In Dio’s mind, this Stand was another useless card. He had an idea to combine this card with [Green Day] as it would be a super strong combo card, but unfortunately, he already used [Green Day] back in the New York War, and he couldn’t seem to draw another copy of that Stand. But it was fortunate enough that he still had this card now as it was a great card to escape the Black Crystal Bomb!
So, he immediately dragged all the wolves into the ground as his eyes flashed, and the ground became as soft as mud! The wolves began to struggle, but no matter how hard they struggled, they couldn’t seem to escape the muddy ground! In just a few seconds, a quarter of the wolves were swallowed by the Earth!
Dio quickly resurfaced and immediately solidified it once again, burying all the wolves alive! The explosion didn’t occur at all as the wolves weren’t destroyed! The [Oasis] Stand was a 30-minute temporary Stand, so it would be useful until its time was up! So, Dio did the same to the rest of the wolves while leaving the crows for a while.
Dark Crystal didn’t seem to create more of those wolves as she knew that her effort was futile. So, after Dio was done dealing with all the wolves, he wanted to deal with the crows now. He pulled out a playing card from his pocket, and a few uniquely shaped bombs materialised in his hands.
Dio then threw the bombs towards the densest horde of crows before diving back to the ground for safety. Immediately, the bomb exploded mid-air and immediately sucked in everything towards the centre of the bomb! Yes, it wasn’t some ordinary bomb as it was the Black Hole Grenade that the Dark Elves invented!
The Black Hole sucked in everything towards itself for 5 second, pulling everything within 5 meters radius before disappearing from sight. This was the modified version of the Black Hole grenade that the Dark Elves originally created. The original was a lot weaker than this one, but it still had a devastating effect for anyone it touched!
After getting the right to take all the Dark Elves under his wings, Dio asked them to continue their research and eventually developed their Black Hole Grenade to this level. Dio had the idea of using these Black Hole Grenades later for Thanos as he wanted to see what happens then. For now, Dio knew that he had to deal with this horde of crows first.
5 Black Hole Grenade activated simultaneously, and the dense murder of crows began to dwindle in numbers. Because the scope of the explosion was only mid-air, the crows had a hard time dodging it.
The crows were definitely startled by the firepower of the Black Hole Grenade and began to steer clear from its range, so they could prevent being wiped out at the same time. But before they could do such a thing, Dio immediately threw 10 more Black Hole Grenades in the crow’s direction.
The crows were once again getting pulled and ripped apart into nothing by the Black Hole Grenade without any chance of struggling.
Dio smirked as he finally cleared all obstacles between him and Dark Crystal and reached the centre of the storm! He tried to stick his arms inside the eye of the storm and felt that his hands were about to be shredded into pieces. Thankfully, the protection of Hamon Energy made it much less of a threat.
Still, Dio had to spend quite an amount of Hamon Energy to be safe inside the Eye of the Storm, and now he had to decide whether he entered the eye of the storm or not! Dio began to shake his head as he knew that he had no other option here.
“I am coming in to play!” Dio playfully shouted as he entered the eye of the storm.
On the other hand, Steve and the other Avengers were gasping as they saw Dio go into the eye of the storm. They were relieved when they saw that Dio easily dealt with the pack of wolves and horde of crows on his own, but now that Dio was already out of their sight, they couldn’t help but worry about him even more.
Each and every one of them could feel the terrible energy that brewed from the storms, and they knew that they wouldn’t be able to even get close to the eye of the storm with their power alone! The only members who could enter the eye of the storm right now were only Hulk, T’challa with his Black Panther Armour, and probably Thor, but there was still no news about Thor’s whereabouts.
The Avengers then fixed their eyes into the Eye of the Storm nervously. Even Wanda, who has already said that she would believe in Dio to return safely, began to waver and release her power unconsciously. She couldn’t help but worry as she really cared about Dio that much!
“Calm down, Wanda! Don’t forget what you just said to us!” Steve said as he realised Wanda was going to release her power unconsciously.
Wanda nodded and immediately took a big breath to calm herself down. She immediately diffused the Crimson Energy that was wafting off from her hand, but she still couldn’t be calm as she knew that the situation might get worse in a matter of minutes! If, by any chance, she knew that Dio wouldn’t make it, she would blast her power full force without distinguishing friend or foe!
