“If you insist on betting for whatever reason you came for, just bet on my success!” the Grandmaster said annoyedly at Dio. At this time, Dio couldn’t say anything else as he was already out of options. [Osiris] could no longer snatch the Grandmaster’s soul, and thus there is no reason to continue their little gambling games anyway.
The Grandmaster immediately shattered the Infinity Gloves and suspended all six of the Infinity Stones in the air. The Reality Stone suddenly flashed, and the hair-like strand in the test tube was immediately divided into six pieces, and each of them integrated into each Infinity Stone!
The Infinity Stones absorbed the Gem People’s essence with Ad.Pierian’s power source, forming a DNA diagram to start their evolution! The Infinity Stones immediately shone brightly before constructing a cocoon that completely enveloped them.
Dio didn’t know if it were a mere illusion, but he certainly heard a beating sound, almost like a heart beating in the distance. This was really insane! The Infinity Stones did seem to be brought to life!
Dio immediately put away his scythe as he knew it was useless to attack the Infinity Stones with purely physical attacks. He immediately summoned [The Hand] as Dio thought that this was the best time to deal with the Infinity Stones before they got they were fully transformed.
Dio also threw several Space Grenades to maximize the effect of [The Hand]’s ability, but the Grandmaster immediately blasted the Space Grenade with his staff, turning them into a stone! This was the Grandmaster’s ability, Matter Rearrangement!
Dio clicked his tongue and immediately used [The Hand] to erase the space between him and the Grandmaster! [The Hand] immediately swiped its hand, and the Grandmaster was immediately dragged towards Dio in an instant!
The Grandmaster immediately lifted his scepter as he instantly reacted to Dio that suddenly appeared in front of him, [The Hand] immediately swiped its right hand at the Grandmaster, but it hit the Grandmaster’s scepter!
The scepter was immediately shortened as a result of [The Hand]’s ability! It was unfortunate for Dio as he would be able to end the Grandmaster with just one attack if [The Hand] landed its attack, but the Grandmaster was no pushover! But because the Grandmaster was actually very close to Dio and [The Hand]. he immediately realised that [The Hand] had a condition to activate, which was the attack with the Right Hand!
As long as he avoided the attack, he shouldn’t be in a trouble! But he forgot that Dio had something else in store for him.
Dio immediately summoned [The World] and [King Crimson] to cut off the Grandmaster’s escape path! The Grandmaster waved his shortened scepter at Dio and hit Dio’s right arm at a tricky angle. At first, Dio ignored the impact as he didn’t feel there was any injury, but as he wanted to beat the Grandmaster down, he noticed that his right arm had turned into stone!
Dio reacted immediately by tearing off his entire arm completely and overwrote the reality where his right arm was injured using [The World]’s ability. His arm was restored like it used to instantly, surprising the Grandmaster, who was still confused by what was happening.
“You never cease to surprise me!” The Grandmaster said amusedly.
“Really? Well, there will be more surprises down the road, but I hope you won’t mind dying at the end of it all!” Dio said sarcastically.
“We will see about that!” The Grandmaster said as he discarded the scepter as he knew that he didn’t need it anymore.
“Do it now!” Dio yelled out of nowhere, further confusing the Grandmaster as he was forced to look around due to Dio’s minions, but the attack didn’t come from Dio’s weird minions. But instead, countless white lights appeared above the Grandmaster’s head! It was Ruzie who seized the chance to attack the Grandmaster after she was off the Grandmaster’s radar!
Ruzie’s attack was pure energy, and it even had a locking mechanism, so when Dio gave the signal, Ruzie immediately constructed many light swords above the Grandmaster’s head to decapitate him!
Dio immediately de-summoned his Stand to make sure that they wouldn’t get caught in Ruzie’s attack, but there was no time for Dio to get away! However, he wasn’t caught in the explosion as Ruzie’s attack was very coordinated!
Ruzie herself reverted to her humanoid form and collapsed as she exhausted herself once again! Dio turned around and looked around, but one thing that he noticed was that he couldn’t see the Red Skull anywhere! Nevertheless, Dio wanted to check if Ruzie’s attack was a success as the dust finally settled.
But what was in front of him left Dio completely shocked! Dio saw 6 Grandmasters in front of him, with the real Grandmaster behind the 6 Grandmasters! The Grandmaster laughed as he wasn’t affected by Ruzie’s attack at all!
The Infinity Stones have come out of their cocoon, and as the Grandmaster infused his own DNA into the blood of the Gem People earlier, all 6 Infinity Stones took on his appearance. The Grandmaster immediately split his soul inside the Soul Stone into 6 and placed a piece of it inside each of the Infinity Stones!
Dio couldn’t believe his eyes! The Grandmaster’s crazy plan was a success! He turned all 6 Infinity Stones into his own clones! This was really troublesome! If it weren’t something that he ought to recover, Dio might have just turned around and left this place out of annoyance, but he couldn’t do so right now.
“I did it! It seems I won this time!” The Grandmaster said with a satisfied look on his face. He looked at each Infinity Stone with a prideful look on his face as he saw them as his own baby!
Now, he could do anything he wanted with just a thought! He didn’t have to use his own energy to exert the Infinity Stones’ power! He could even use 100% of the Infinity Stones’ power without any side effects!
He could even wipe out the entire universe right now without any sacrifice at all! The Grandmaster believed that he had become Invincible right now!
But suddenly, the Orange Infinity Stone moved on its own, but the Grandmaster was quite sure that he hadn’t issued any order!
