Thanos didn't want to be a villain.

Chapter 194: Being stopped

Of all his collection, aside from the usual Infinity Stones, Dio's favorite is the Twilight Blade.

After getting his hands on this thing, Dio realized that it seemed to be a magical artifact capable of cutting through dimensions!

In the comics, this greatsword is a divine weapon capable of resisting Odin, possessing the ability to manipulate mysterious energy, and capable of destroying Asgard in one blow!

It can control its size at will and unleash a powerful flame that simulates combustion with cosmic energy, enough to kill Asgardians, including Odin.

The sword's hardness surpasses that of Uru metal and vibranium, and its blade burns with an eternal, inextinguishable flame energy.

Most importantly, this thing is Thanos's exclusive weapon in the comics!

He slaughtered the entire universe, treated the Hulk like a dog, and used former superheroes as Hulk's dog food. Moreover, he killed the last planet-devouring messenger, the Silver Glider, whose body was almost indestructible, with a single blow!

It can be said that, in addition to Thanos's own formidable strength, this sword also provided him with considerable assistance.

Even if it's negligible.

but……

"How come I'm getting closer and closer to cosplaying the Emperor?" Holding the Twilight Sword, Dio was both delighted and exasperated.

Incidentally, Dio also found Surtur's other exclusive artifact—the Eternal Flame!

As Dio tentatively placed the Twilight Sword into the Eternal Flame, he felt a surge of immense energy flow into his body, continuously enhancing his strength!

Dioton felt warm all over, as comfortable as if he were soaking in a hot spring.

After a while, once everything was settled, Dio discovered that he had received an epic buff!

Not only did he gain the recognition of the artifacts Twilight Blade and Eternal Flame as his master, but he also gained full access to the Eternal Flame—the kind of access that Surtur could only use when he destroyed Asgard!

"Would you call this a godlike performance?" Dio was certain that with the blessing of the Eternal Flame, taking down Odin would be a piece of cake.

It's important to know that the Eternal Flame has a significant weakening effect on the Asgardians, and Odin, as the strongest being in Asgard, was weakened the most!

While the Eternal Flame is effective against all living beings, it is a special attack against Asgardians!

Remember, self-control is paramount; special attacks are against the gods!

After sheathing the Twilight Sword and settling the situation, Dio abandoned his post and ran away.

He wants a vacation!

He doesn't want to do any work.

Without even checking which world he was going to, Dio plunged straight in.

.........

"Where is this place?" Dio had just passed through the portal when he saw a vast expanse of white.

It feels like this isn't the real universe, but rather an alternate dimension.

"Where have I traveled to?" Dio walked forward, but he seemed to hear some sound.

"Hmm~~~"

It was a very soft, slightly feminine voice.

It felt like she was being coquettish.

At the same time, Dio noticed a slight resistance, but he ignored it, thinking it was just air resistance, and continued walking.

But the further we went, the stronger the resistance and the louder the sound became.

I took a moment to feel it, then looked down.

Dio noticed two adorable little girls standing at his feet, but why did he feel such a strong sense of déjà vu?!

"Sister, he finally stopped!"

"Yes, little sister!"

"Waaaaaah!" x2

The two little girls are probably under ten years old. They look very cute and would definitely be loved by those anime fans. And when they cry, they are even more pitiful.

but!

After looking at it a few times, Dio scrunched up his facial features.

For no particular reason, it's simply because these two are the two restraining forces in the Type-Moon world: Gaia, representing the will of Earth, and Alaya, representing humanity.

"You old codger, don't try to act young," Dio said, taking a step back in disdain.

Upon hearing the cries of the two little girls, they looked at Dio in astonishment, and after a long while, tears welled up in their eyes again.

Just as they were about to burst into tears again, Dio slapped them across the nose with one of his large sinuses, and the two little girls instantly flew away like shooting stars.

"I told you not to act young, don't act young. Do you think I'm good-tempered?" Dio shook his hand, looking disgusted.

Just as Dio continued walking, the two little girls appeared in front of him again.

Unlike before, the two little girls have become two emotionless individuals, as if they weren't the ones wiping away tears and crying just now.

"What is it?" Dio asked, raising an eyebrow.

The little girl shook her head and said, "Hello, outsider. We welcome you, but we do not wish for you to come to Earth in person."

Dio was puzzled and asked curiously, "Why?"

Another little girl said coldly, "Your strength is too great. We cannot withstand the arrival of your true form, which is why Gaia and I stopped you."

"Then I have to go," Dio said, crossing his arms and looking quite shameless.

The two little girls exchanged a glance, bowed, and said, "We cannot bear the arrival of your true form, but if you insist on coming to Earth, we cannot stop you. However, this will hasten the destruction of Earth, so please forgive us."

Dio looked at the two little girls who had bowed and thought for a moment.

The Type-Moon world is like my youth in my past life. I spent my college years watching anime and reading fan fiction, and I even played my friend's FGO game.

After entering the workforce and parting ways with my friends, I never saw the game again.

They just blindly watch anime and read novels.

To be honest, when he learned that this was the Type-Moon universe, his first thought was to go and take a look.

This is a way of reminiscing about my lost youth.

But now you're telling me this planet can't withstand the arrival of its true form? This leaves him speechless.

“However…” the little girl named Gaia stood up and spoke.

Alaya, as if knowing what Gaia was about to say, quickly covered Gaia's mouth.

“But what?” Dio asked.

Seeing this, Alaya looked at Gaia, whose mouth she had covered.

Gaia, on the other hand, revealed a cunning look.

Knowing he couldn't stop her, Alaya sighed and released Gaia's mouth.

After Gaia was unsealed, he put his hands on his hips and conjured a document that looked like parchment, saying, "However, there is another way to get in, and that is to sign a contract!"

Dio looked over, and although it was in Latin, he could still understand it.

"Signing this will allow me to enter, right?" Dio asked.

He looked interested.

Gaia was beaming with excitement, while Alaya sighed and turned her head away, refusing to look at it.

Dio nodded in satisfaction, and Gaia, the little girl, nodded excitedly as well.

then…

Dio slapped Gaia on the head.

"After I sign, do I have to lower myself and work for you?"

Dio's words were like a venomous snake's tongue, and a chilling feeling instantly spread throughout Gaia's body. A sharp pain shot through Gaia's brain as Dio was forcefully pinching its little head!

"No, no, no! It hurts, it hurts!"

Gaia struggled desperately, but no matter what it did, it couldn't break free, and its little arms and legs couldn't harm Dio in the slightest.
