Chapter 791
The time flow returned to normal and had Dio known earlier that Nebula was a fake, the situation would be different. Nebula hid in a safe place as soon as she called Thanos’ ship. She also located the Infinity Gauntlet after that to ensure that she would get her hands on the Infinity Stones after the attack!
So, while everyone was trying to regroup after the attack, she quickly used the transmission and found the Infinity Gauntlet! It was just unfortunate that Barton fell beside the Infinity Gauntlets before Nebula could secure it!
Barton retreated and protected the Infinity Gauntlet from falling into the enemy’s hand. Nevertheless, Nebula found Barton and lied to him to persuade him to hand the Infinity Gauntlet over to her. But as soon as Nebula got her hands on the Infinity Gauntlet, she struck Barton down while smirking victoriously.
“Father, you will be proud of me this time!” Nebula said as she equipped the Infinity Gauntlet, but she immediately screamed from the pain as she felt the energy from the Infinity Stones. But even so, she wouldn’t stop! Her loyalty to Thanos kept her away from giving up the order Thanos had given her. She endured the pain and guided the Infinity Gauntlet energy towards the Time Stone before slamming her fist to the ground.
A brilliant green light spread in all directions, penetrating the wall and everything else it came into contact with. One would see the Green Light enveloping the entire area if they saw this up from the space. This was Thanos’ solution as soon as he learned that someone on Earth had the ability to manipulate time! He ordered Nebula to integrate the whole planet with the Time Stone!
The result of this solution is to make sure none of the opponent’s time manipulation ability got through! That also included the Quantum Tunnel, too! The Time Stone completely stopped the Time Travel Ability of the Quantum Tunnel.
Nevertheless, Nebula received significant damage from handling the Infinity Gauntlet! Her right hand was decimated, and half of her face was burned severely, but she still survived! The energy she released from the Infinity Gauntlet wasn’t enough to kill her, but she still received a terrible injury!
“Father, I am done!” Nebula said as she lied on the ground excitedly despite being unable to move from her injury. But at the same time, two figures appeared behind her, and it was Gamora and her future self!

“Dio, are you alright?” Tony asked worriedly, but Dio just nodded as he fixed his arm with Reality Overwrite, making it as if his arm had never been cut off before. Dio started whistling, controlling the [Reaper’s Gaze] in the air. He didn’t rush toward Thanos again as he didn’t want to repeat his mistake.
“Aren’t you surprised?” Thanos said as he picked up his helmet from the ground before putting it on his head once more. “Or do you think I would fall for the same trick again?” Thanos said coldly.
“It seems you already knew everything that happened in the past, but who spills everything out? Let me guess, the most likely suspect here is your daughter, Nebula! Am I right?” Dio said indifferently.
“Nebula is a traitor?” Steve said as his eyes turned wide while Tony frowned.
“No one else has any reason to pick Thanos’ side, and the fact that Thanos can lead his army through time proves that someone in the base has tampered with the Quantum Tunnel and activated it! Furthermore, when the Hulk snapped his finger, who decided to not stick with us?” Dio said coldly.
Everyone else hated to admit it, but Dio’s word had some truth in it. Nebula was a traitor, and there was no doubt of it. Even Dio began to wonder whether the Nebula that returned from the past was the same Nebula that had been with them before.
“So, the Nebula that returned from the past before is your time’s Nebula, right?” Dio said indifferently.
“You are smart! But it doesn’t matter now. You still have to face me no matter what happened in the past! Or are you telling me you couldn’t accept your failure in the past? Either way, half of the life in the universe has to die to make sure the remaining half population leads a more prosperous life!” Thanos said confidently.
“Nevertheless, you have my gratitude for letting me know how stupid I have become in the future, but now I will make sure I create a new universe for me to live in after all this!” Thanos said with a big smile on his face.
“I will create a world with no resentment, only gratitude to the giver!” Thanos said hopefully.
“It would be one shit universe!” Steve said mockingly.
“You wouldn’t know because you will be dead by then!” Thanos said indifferently. At the same time, Dio, Tony, Steve, and Thor surrounded Thanos.
“Or maybe, you won’t be able to see it for yourself because your head has rolled over for the second time!” Dio said as he moved to cut Thanos’ head once again. Although he couldn’t use his Time Stop ability, it wouldn’t matter as he had plenty of other abilities to use.
Dio had so many means left to attack Thanos! It might be safe to say that Dio was finally able to unleash his full potential as he didn’t have any reason to hold back anymore.
