Thanos didn't want to be a villain.

Chapter 191 Impersonation?

Dio knew that if things continued like this, a battle would definitely break out. With no other option, Dio could only bring the three of them into his own world.

But before that, he needs to leave a coordinate.

After throwing away a watch identical to the one worn by the Warhammer Emperor, he took Thanos and his two companions directly to the capital of his own empire.

As soon as the four of them appeared, the Imperial Guard surrounded them, bypassing Dio and encircling Thanos and his companions.

Thorn suddenly flew into a rage and tried to struggle, but the hammer was not in his hand. As soon as he rushed forward to try to take the weapon from the guard, he was grabbed by the back and his joints were locked so that he could not move.

Seeing the Imperial Guards still wary of them, Hyperion and Thanos sighed and surrendered.

We can't beat them, we simply can't beat them.

"Aaaaaah! Thanos! You still can't be trusted!" Thor roared, struggling as his head was slammed to the ground.

Dio was quite helpless. He contacted Odin telepathically, intending to ask his father to discipline his spendthrift son.

The celestial projection was incredibly fast; Dio had barely finished informing Odin's soul when it appeared.

Thanos narrowed his eyes, pondering something. Hyperion raised an eyebrow and exchanged a glance with Thanos; they both seemed to have considered the same possibility.

"Is this Thor from that world?" Odin asked, looking down at Thor who was being pinned to the ground.

Dio thought for a moment and said, "I don't know the specific numbers or anything. I only know that you, the group of god kings, the planet devourer, and the Celestials in that universe were all killed by one person. The three of them were imprisoned by that person and made into slaves and gladiators."

"Oh, how pitiful," Odin commented without any emotional fluctuation.

Thor was completely stunned when he saw his father suddenly appear and Dio chatting happily with his father.

Gradually losing the strength to struggle, Dio, seeing this, ordered the guards to withdraw.

Thanos's eyes lit up as he looked at the tall and powerful Imperial Guard.

Thor stood up, trembling, and looked at Odin, tears welling up in his eyes.

“Try to comfort him. He really is the only one left in that world of Asgard,” Dio advised.

Odin sighed and went to speak with Thor. Dio, sensing the situation, also took Thanos and Hyperion with him.

He took Thanos and Hyperion on a tour of his empire.

"How about it? My governance is pretty good, isn't it?" Dio looked at Mie Badao.

Thanos stared blankly at the scenery outside the window. It was just as he had imagined, yet it was also contrary to what he had come to think.

"With such explosive growth in population and nation size, are you planning to conquer the universe?" Hyperion interrupted before Thanos could speak, as usual.

Thanos glanced helplessly at Hyperion and remained silent.

Dio looked at Hyperion and said, "What's the use of conquering the universe? It's annoying to have a lot of things weighing on you all day long. Besides, our vision has expanded to the level of the multiverse. In that case, the open and covert struggles between countries in this universe are just like children playing games."

"Moreover, the territory of this universe is nominally mine. Those small countries once tried to unite to sanction me, but I retaliated by sanctioning them back. Now, all the countries in the universe appear to be autonomous, but in reality, they have long been mine."

Thanos looked at Dio in surprise and said, "No wonder you wanted to obtain my universe. It turns out that this universe can no longer contain your ambitions."

"So that means there's another me in this universe? Is he under your control? Call him over to see, I've never seen another version of myself before." Hyperion was surprised, but still asked happily.

"It's possible, but he's not in this universe."

"That's a real shame. I wanted to see who was stronger between the two of us," Hyperion said, hands on his hips.

Thanos shook his head and said, "This guy is fearless. He was the first person to challenge the Eternal Emperor, and also the one who was the fastest to be defeated."

Hyperion paused, then angrily retorted, "Hey! That's my dark history, don't tell anyone!"

Thanos ignored him, holding down Hyperion who was about to pounce, and continued, "Later, through several surrenders and rebellions, the Eternal Emperor grew tired of him and toyed with him like a dog for a long time, turning this guy into almost a... sadist?"

By the end, Thanos couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha!"

"A sadist? Him?!"

Dio was shocked. Good heavens, had he become out of touch with society?

Why do we still hear such outrageous things when Marvel comes?!

Dio even subconsciously took a step back, wanting to get away.

"Hey! Are you serious about taking a step back?!" Hyperion was utterly humiliated and furious; he felt like he was going to die.

"Alright, alright, stop laughing, let's go, let's continue our stroll." Dio was the first to stop.

Thanos gradually stopped laughing, and Hyperion seemed to have gotten used to the teasing and gradually adjusted his mindset.

The three of them wandered to the entrance of a courthouse where a trial was in progress.

“Oh, it seems there’s a court hearing today too. Shall we go check it out?” Dio said to the two of them.

Hyperion dismissively replied, "What's the point of a court trial?"

Thanos, however, wanted to see what his alternate self's rule was like: "Are you sure you want us to see? If so..."

"What's the big deal? I have a lot of confidence in my administration."

The three went inside. The security guard at the door recognized Dio and was about to kick out the extra people inside, but Dio stopped him.

Upon learning that there was only one case scheduled for trial today, but the trial had not yet commenced, Dio and his men randomly found an empty seat and went inside.

Sit down quietly and wait for the court hearing to begin.

Hyperion looked at the court proceedings today while holding the list: "This is a case that has been dragging on for twenty years and was only discovered this year. It tells the story of a person in a remote area who stole twenty years of another person's life."

"What do you mean? You steal from life? Well, your technology is pretty advanced."

Faced with Hyperion's teasing, Dio and Thanos were also puzzled. What did "stealing lives" mean?

So the two of them looked into it and finally understood.

Just like in a past life, someone used their power or money to impersonate another person and take their place in the college entrance examination, completely replacing another person to attend university and get a job.

Dio frowned. Logically speaking, such a thing shouldn't be happening in his empire at this time.

This did happen at the beginning, but in order to be fair, Dio thought it over and over again and used extremely strict laws to regulate it.

It gradually disappeared afterward.

Later, with the advancement of technology, every citizen's information was recorded from birth, including not only their genes but also their soul information, which finally eliminated the problem completely.

Logically, with the Empire's network now covering every corner of its empire and information being uploaded almost constantly, it shouldn't be possible for someone to impersonate another person!
