Gao Tianzun's Crazy Plan

After resting Beatrice in a safe place, Ruzie led Dio to a secret door that would lead them to a secret passage towards the Forbidden Area. This Secret Passage was a tomb where all dead Ad.Pierians was buried. Hadn't it for the war and catastrophe, all those Ad.Pierians who died above would be buried here too!

The further inside Dio walked, the more burial site he found. At the same time, Dio and Ruzie reached a clear lake, which was really strange considering they were still underground. Was this the source of the special water that Ruzie mentioned earlier?

Dio couldn't help but turn his attention to Ruzie for confirmation, but Ruzie also had the same surprised look on her face.

Dio then checked the Nether Bead that he got from Tivan, and it showed that the Grandmaster was close by. He didn't know what the Grandmaster was after, so it couldn't be helped if these strange things left him confused.

At the same time, a warp gate appeared behind Dio.

Dio quickly turned around as he felt another appearance behind him, and he immediately saw the Grandmaster walking out of the warp gate with Red Skull behind him.

"Oh, look! Did you come here to find me, Mr. Gillian?" The Grandmaster looked at Dio with surprise. The Grandmaster didn't know about Dio's survival as he saw that Dio was on the death's door on Earth before. But nevertheless, it didn't matter at all.

"Yes, I am here for the gems in your hand! Are you interested in betting those items with me?" Dio said with a smile on his face.

"I like your honesty, but I can't live up to your expectation right now. I am on the verge of completing my great experiment right now!" The Grandmaster said while laughing out loud. The Grandmaster rejected Dio's offer, which left him frowning as he didn't expect the Grandmaster to refuse his demand.

"What experiment are you doing?" Dio asked as he pretended to be curious about the Grandmaster's work.

"It's not something that you need to know, but I am trying to bring these Infinity Stones to life!" the Grandmaster said as he walked towards a machine on the side of the lake and operated it, clearly unbothered by Dio and Ruzie's existence here.

"What do you mean bringing them to life?" Dio asked as he didn't understand what the Grandmaster was planning.

"That is a good question!" The Grandmaster said as he smiled at Dio.

"Well, I need answers!" Dio said as he became more confused than he had already been.

"Remember the chip that you gave me back then?" The Grandmaster asked as he smiled at Dio.

"The Soul Chip?" Dio confirmed.

"Yes! Thanks to that Soul Chip, I figured out the secret behind the Soul Stone and then used some tricks to place my consciousness inside it!" The Grandmaster said excitedly. The Orange Soul Stone suddenly shone and quickly transformed into a mini version of the Grandmaster.

Dio was utterly surprised by the scene in front of him! "Did you put half of your soul inside the Soul Stone and take control over it?" Dio asked curiously.

"You almost got it! The Soul Stone's consciousness is basically just a collection of souls that it absorbed! It does take a little bit of effort, but it finally pays off! I successfully dominated the other souls inside the Soul Stone, and now, I can exert 100% of the Soul Stone's power!" The Grandmaster said excitedly.

"What in the world did you want to do with all this?" Dio asked with a frown on his face.

"You still can't figure out my plan just yet?" The Grandmaster said as the look of disappointment was clear on his face. "After mastering the use of the Soul Stone, now I can easily divide my soul into several parts and put them inside the remaining 5 Infinity Stones!" The Grandmaster said joyfully.

As he said that, the other 5 Infinity Stones began to shine and take on the appearance of the Grandmaster slowly. Dio was shocked as he started to wonder if the Grandmaster finally had complete control over all the Infinity Stones!

Dio began to put all pieces of information that he got so far, and after a while, he finally realised the Grandmaster's master plan!

"You need a powerful vehicle to utilise the full power of the Infinity Stones! The Infinity Gauntlet couldn't meet your expectation, so you need something more powerful, am I right?" Dio said as the realisation struck him. The Infinity Gauntlet was almost destroyed just after doing one snap, and thus it couldn't be used for anything even stronger than that!

"You are right! I already search through the entire universe to find something or someone that strong enough to do my bidding, but I never find anything that could do what I want! But my luck changed after I discovered the secret of the Gem People which gave me a crazy idea! What vehicle would be powerful enough to contain the Infinity Stones' power if not themselves?" The Grandmaster said with a huge smirk on his face.

"No, you are insane!" Dio said horrifiedly.

"Why not let these Infinity Stones have their own body like the Gem People? Once I successfully give them their own bodies, I will be able to rewrite the entire universe easily! I will be omnipotent!" The Grandmaster said excitedly.

Dio was speechless by the Grandmaster's genius plan! It was probably the craziest plan that Dio had ever heard in his entire life! Although the theory seemed to be easy, it must have some issues that the Grandmaster was still not satisfied with. Otherwise, he would no longer be here!

"I guess you must've encountered some problem if you're still here!" Dio said calmly.

"Indeed! This plan is much more difficult than I thought, but I finally find the solution! This water here can help inspire the bloodline, so the Infinity Stones would be able to inhert all of my traits!" The Grandmaster said excitedly.

Maybe it was because the Grandmaster didn't feel any pressure coming from Dio and Ruzie, but he actually spilled his grand plan without any fear!
