Thanos didn't want to be a villain.

Chapter 21 Hela is Seriously Injured

The empire's territory expanded several times over, and the number of inhabited planets under its control increased significantly. Dio spent hundreds of years conquering and expanding the empire's territory beyond that of the former Kree Empire.

It can be said that Dio's current empire has surpassed the nebula level, and its actual control range even exceeds hundreds of thousands of light-years, making it a behemoth in the entire universe.

It's important to know that the actual area of ​​control of other larger empires doesn't even exceed half a galaxy!

Therefore, this aroused the suspicion of the Nova Empire and the Skrull Empire, who planned to unite to suppress Dio.

"Thanos is becoming increasingly arrogant and excessive. He is not satisfied with annexing the Kree Empire and continues to expand."

"That's right! Thanos's ambition is expanding rapidly. He is expanding his army and waging wars without restraint or concealment. He even puts his wife, Hela, the once famous goddess of death in the universe, in command of the army. He really intends to rule the universe!"

"I suggest that we all unite to form the Covenant and pool all our strength to resist Thanos's ambitions, otherwise it will be too late when his army is at our gates!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

The Skrull Empire, the Nova Empire, and some smaller cosmic nations participated in a virtual meeting. The Skrull Empire took the lead in proposing the formation of a Star Alliance, which was agreed to by most of the participating cosmic nations. Only some smaller cosmic nations, whose strength and territory were no more than a single star system, wavered.

After all, they had only just left their own star system, and had only recently achieved internal unification or alliance. With their strength and territory being pitifully small, they really didn't want to participate in this kind of war across the entire universe.

After all, life goes on. If we win, it's fine, but if we lose, the country will be destroyed and people will die. Saying that our race will be wiped out is an understatement. It's hard to say whether the entire star system will even exist.

If our history and culture are not passed down, it will be a real disaster.

Some small countries even planned to quietly surrender and voluntarily incorporate themselves into Dio's empire, minimizing their losses and maximizing their income while preserving their culture and history.

After all, no matter how you look at it, Dio's side had almost the entire advantage.

Dio, the son-in-law of Asgard, has the backing of a powerful being of the highest order. His current territory was built up through his own hard work, and his personal military strength is unparalleled. Furthermore, the empire boasts extremely advanced technology.

Let alone these small countries, even the Skrull Empire, which is also a colossal cosmic empire, sometimes doesn't understand the principles behind some of the technologies that flowed from Dio.

Dio was still very pleased with the surrender of these small countries, and ordered his subordinates to make arrangements as soon as possible, and then sent troops and political personnel such as judges to the country.

As for the movements of the Skrull Empire and other empires, Dio already knew. After all, he wasn't stupid; he had already started using petty tricks like planting spies and bribing traitors long before he sought revenge against the Kree Empire.

The Covenant Dio scoffed at them, believing that alliances were actually quite fragile, especially in the world of American comics. Even if they all had a common enemy to conquer, alliances could crumble from within.

After all, in the world of American comics, which is filled with American worldviews, this kind of situation is quite common.

"Your Majesty, the Foreign Minister says that their diplomats traveling to other empires have been met with fierce resistance from local militants, and almost simultaneously," a servo skull flew over to report.

Dio's eyes lit up. Although the newly acquired territory still needed proper management, it did not mean that the empire would be afraid of war.

It's important to understand that, apart from Spartan soldiers and Astartes, most of the soldiers in other units are clones created through genetic programming, and given the current size of the Empire, these soldiers are extremely low-cost.

Dio then dispatched many first and second generation Transformers for fire support and real-time tactical deployment, while a third of the Astartes and Spartan soldiers, along with other types of troops, went to these empires to demand an explanation.

To demonstrate his resolve, Dio even dispatched the Eternals, newly created Beast Warriors, and a large number of giant Transformers from the first and second generations who remained in the territory.

Firstly, their intimidating power is off the charts. The giant Transformers can even reach a terrifying height of a thousand meters, and the visual effect alone is enough to awe people.

Secondly, the deployment of a large force has been set up. These giant Transformers carry a large number of antimatter missiles containing more than 20 tons of antimatter. One missile could even destroy a planet the size of Earth. If the demands for redress are not met, they can use force to deter others at any time.

Let them know that even in this weakened period of the empire, they are not someone to be trifled with!

Everything in the empire was going according to plan, and Dio should have been very happy, but his happiness soon turned sour.

However, in the course of the empire's expansion, a civilization, or rather several civilizations, soon emerged and put up a fierce resistance against Dio's army.

"Your Majesty, an urgent report from the front lines."

A servo skull flew in, projecting a human figure.

"Your Majesty, we have encountered a mastermind behind the scenes called Supreme Evolution, whose dozens of civilizations have posed a significant obstacle to us."

"Is the enemy very strong, Commander?" Dio sat on his throne, looking at some reports from within the empire, but did not look at the projection.

"The enemy is not strong. Although the civilizations under the Supreme Evolution resisted strongly, they were not united. At the beginning, we subdued and gathered a group of them, but the subsequent enemy resistance was even more intense and we were unable to turn them to the side."

"The resistance was so fierce that the people behind these civilizations personally came out."

As he spoke, the warband commander swayed, and Dio realized that the other party was kneeling on the ground. Then he stood up and turned to the side, revealing the person behind him in the image.

Dio glanced at it and his eyes widened instantly, his anger rising.

Dio unleashed a massive energy surge, shooting almost infinitely from the Earth's surface into outer space!

The surrounding buildings were violently impacted, and the Imperial Guards, acting as protectors, immediately took refuge in underground safe houses constructed of vibranium and cosmic solid metal alloys.

When they came out, most of the ground had been cut away, and even their safe house thousands of meters underground had been completely exposed.

The entire planet no longer appears as a regular ellipse, but rather like an apple with a large portion of it cut away.

What made Dio so angry?

It was Hela, lying in her hospital bed with one arm and one leg severed!

Fortunately, the severed leg and hand are still intact, and surgery to reattach the severed limbs is underway.

This servo skull somehow managed to evade Dio's energy tide and flew out again.

Where is it!

Dio looked at the warband commander and asked.

The warband leader bowed his head, reported his location, and uploaded the information they currently possessed.
