Chapter 224 Not Enough Imagination, Parallel Universes

Lord Doom!?

Red Skull's pupils suddenly contracted.

He certainly knew this title; in this world, almost no one was unaware of it.

The problem is that the person in front of him is very different from the Doom he remembers in terms of both methods and style. He doesn't seem like that god at all, after all, Doom was a master of both magic and technology.

The one before him, though lacking in magic and technology, possessed terrifying power; he'd believe it if you called him the Little Hulk.

But soon, Red Skull recalled the conversation between Du Mu and Hawkeye, and an absurd yet reasonable explanation suddenly popped into his mind.

"Wait, does this mean you really are from a parallel universe!?"

"That's right."

Du Mu readily admitted it.

Upon hearing this, Red Skull took a deep breath.

In the world he lived in, parallel universes were not uncommon; in fact, there were many things even more outrageous.

Some people have even summarized a set of universal rules for this.

When in doubt, quantum mechanics; when explanations fail, time travel; when imagination runs dry, parallel universes; when theories are insufficient, higher-dimensional humans.

In short, whenever you encounter a situation you can't understand, just refer to these points and you're sure to find the answer.

Therefore, it didn't take Red Skull long to accept this fact and to conclude that Du Mu was the God-King Du Mu from another parallel universe.

If it were truly the God-King Doom from a parallel universe, it would make sense that he could so easily eliminate the Absorber, Mysterio, and others.

But what's with that string of titles in front of it?

Apart from the unheard-of Sokovia and the Undead Alliance, the others are all notorious villainous organizations, and some are even Hydra leaders like him.

The buff is almost fully stacked!

Red Skull can only attribute it to a parallel universe, where anything is possible.

But no matter what, the title of Lord Dumu alone is more intimidating than all the other titles combined.

A hint of apprehension welled up in Red Skull's heart, and he tentatively spoke, "Actually, there's no need for us to fight to the death..."

Du Mu chuckled: "What are you talking about? Here, only you will die; there's no such thing as a broken net."

Red Skull:

'

'

Is this Doom or Tony Stark? Why is he so sarcastic?

"Ahem, I mean we can cooperate."

Red Skull forced a smile: "I am the current president of the United States in this world. The entire country is under my control. Money, power, territory, beautiful women... I can satisfy any condition you desire. As long as we join forces, this world will be ours."

"Do you have any tasks to assign me?" Du Mu asked.

"Task?"

Red Skull was taken aback, not quite understanding Du Mu's words, but still continued the conversation: "If you want it, of course it is. I need you to cooperate with me to rule this world together."

Du Mu waited for a while, but did not receive any notification from the game system.

His face turned cold, and he sneered, "I'm a superhero, how could I possibly associate with a villain like you!"

Red Skull's eye twitched violently.

With your long list of titles, plus the name "Lord Doom," you don't look like a superhero at all!

Du Mu changed the subject: "However, considering we're both Hydra, if you can find me a few more super villains, I might consider letting you go."

Upon hearing this strange request, Red Skull looked troubled: "This... I'm afraid it will take time. Those people are scattered everywhere, some of them are not even in the United States. Finding them will not be easy, and they may not be willing to come."

These supervillains on the field represent all the manpower that Red Skull can mobilize in a short period of time.

"This is so troublesome."

Du Mu was somewhat disappointed.

Red Skull's heart tightened, and he immediately added, "But I can use all my resources to find those for you as soon as possible, as long as you give me a little time."

As he spoke, he subtly gestured towards his crossbones with his left hand hanging at his side, using the angle of his body.

The latter's eyes suddenly sharpened, and his right hand immediately reached for his waist.

"Be careful!"

Eagle Eye noticed Crossbones' movement and quickly called out to warn him.

But it was too late. Crossbones suddenly pulled out several pumpkin-shaped metal spheres from his tactical belt and threw them forcefully at Du Mu!

These metal spheres are Green Goblin's pumpkin bombs.

Although it's unclear why Crossbones has Green Goblin's equipment on him, it doesn't matter anymore.

Pumpkin bombs are extremely powerful, containing highly unstable chemical explosives. At the moment of explosion, their core temperature can even melt flesh and blood instantly. If an ordinary person is hit by the blast, they will be reduced to a skeleton.

As several pumpkin bombs flew towards him, beeping, Du Mu paid no attention. He casually raised his huge metal gauntlet and caught the pumpkin bombs in his palm.

boom!

A muffled explosion came from inside the boxing gloves.

Du Mu opened his palm, and a wisp of green smoke rose from it. The metal surface remained smooth as ever, without leaving a single mark.

These gauntlets are forged from the same material used in Captain America's shield. No matter how powerful the pumpkin bomb is, it cannot shake this indestructible composite metal.

Taking advantage of Du Mu's distraction, Red Skull rushed to the right wall, pressed a hidden button, and the wall hummed and quickly rose up, revealing an emergency exit.

Red Skull had long anticipated that Du Mu wouldn't let him go, and seeing no chance of winning in a direct confrontation, he decisively chose a strategic retreat.

And that was the route he took to escape!

Crossbones began moving after throwing the pumpkin bomb, following closely behind Red Skull as they prepared to run away.

"Trying to run away?"

Du Mu raised an eyebrow, and the gauntlets in his hand suddenly disappeared, replaced by a pumpkin bomb.

"I happen to have a pumpkin bomb too, let's see how powerful mine is."

As soon as he finished speaking, Du Mu's right arm muscles bulged instantly, and his waist and abdomen twisted to generate the power of his whole body, so he threw the pumpkin bomb in his hand hard!

call--!!

The pumpkin bomb, a blur of motion, tore through the air, unleashing a terrifying shriek, and hurtled straight at the two fleeing individuals.

Crossbones heard the whooshing sound and turned around, only to see the rapidly enlarging metal sphere reflected in his pupils.

puff!

The pumpkin bomb struck Crossbones' skull with pinpoint accuracy, exploding instantly like a hammer smashing a watermelon. Its momentum remained undiminished, continuing to bombard Red Skull amidst blood, flesh, and bone fragments.

In a split second, Red Skull instinctively raised Captain America's shield.

clang!!

A loud crash resounded as the pumpkin bomb hit the bullseye.

Thanks to Captain America's shield's ability to absorb all kinetic energy, Red Skull successfully blocked the pumpkin bomb; otherwise, Crossbones would have been in his fate.

Du Mu said smugly, "It seems my pumpkin bomb is still the more powerful one."

Everyone:

'

That's not a bomb, it's clearly a shot put!

Red Skull was still in shock and about to speak when he saw Du Mu suddenly produce a golden Desert Eagle, pointing the gun at him.

His expression changed drastically, and he quickly held up Captain America's shield in front of him again.

However, Du Mu suddenly pressed the muzzle of his gun downwards.

boom!boom!

"Ugh—!"

Red Skull was shot in both legs, his knees buckled, and he collapsed heavily to his knees.

He never expected that Du Mu would act so unpredictably, not shooting at the shields but instead targeting the areas where there were no shields to block the fire!

In contrast, he was incredibly honest. Despite his long-standing love-hate relationship with Captain America, he managed to hit the shield with every single shot, almost to the point of muscle memory.

Du Mu slowly walked up to Red Skull, snatched the Captain America shield from his hand, picked up the pumpkin bomb, grabbed Red Skull by the collar, and placed it at the emergency exit.

"Take care, and consider this a parting gift."

Du Mu pressed the activation button on the pumpkin bomb, throwing it along with the red skull into the emergency exit.

"No--!"

The Red Skull's desperate roar was drowned out in the depths of the passage.

boom!!

A muffled explosion came from beneath my feet, and scorching air surged upwards from the tunnel entrance, then everything fell silent.

[Mission Objective: An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth; kill ten supervillains who plague the world (8/10)]

There are two tasks remaining to complete the mission.

Unfortunately, Red Skull couldn't recruit more supervillains.

"Red Skull is finally dead!"

Seeing this, Eagle Eyes' face showed a hint of satisfaction at having avenged a great grudge.

This culprit who has plagued the world has finally met its deserved end.

"Oh, the gatekeeper of the Soul Stone is gone. Who's going to explain the rules of the game now?" Deadpool smacked his lips.

Twilight Wolf frowned: "I think we should think about how to escape. We're probably already surrounded by the Red Skull army."

"Simple."

As soon as Du Mu finished speaking, his entire body changed, transforming into the appearance of a red skull.

The three people next to them were stunned.

"Mystique... oh no, I should say Mystique the man."

Wade's eyes widened as he leaned closer to examine Du Mu closely. "Dude, you actually have this ability? It looks exactly like Mystique's. Can you transform into anyone like her?"

"OK."

"Then wouldn't you become the most perfect man in every woman's heart? Having you means having the whole world, and you can have any size you want, a pistol or a cannon... Damn it, why don't I have that ability!"

Wade was incredibly envious.

He suddenly had an idea, chuckled, and said in a lewd tone, "So you should be able to turn into a woman too, right? Hey bro, do me a favor, could you turn into a few Hollywood goddesses and have dinner with me in turns? After dinner, we can have some deeper discussions..."

boom!

Du Mu's shot fulfilled Wade's wish; after all, anything is possible in dreams.

He then strode out of the room, only to find the corridor outside blocked by a dense throng of soldiers.

Upon seeing Du Mu's men, Twilight Wolf and Eagle Eye, they immediately raised their guns and aimed them at the two.

Du Mu waved his hand: "Put down your weapons. They have already submitted to Hydra. Long live Hydra."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers had no doubt and lowered their guns.

They raised their arms and shouted in unison, "Long live Hydra!"

Du Mu turned his head, looked at the two who were in a daze, and frowned: "Now you are Hydra's people. From now on, remember to shout the slogan together. Do it again with me: Long live Hydra!"

"Long live Hydra!"

The soldiers' shouts echoed down the corridor, and countless eyes were focused on Twilight Wolf and Eagle Eye.

Twilight Wolf and Hawkeye: "...Long live Hydra!"

Using the identity of Red Skull, Du Mu quickly took control of the white presidential suite.

He ordered his men to dispose of the supervillain corpses in the room.

They weren't worried about the Red Skull's corpse being discovered; the Red Skull had been blown to a white one, changing its color so no one could recognize it.

There were also some superhero relics scattered around the room. Du Mu picked out a few that were still worth studying and put them into the game's inventory, planning to take them back to Sokovia and give them to Strucker for research in the future.

However, the Red Skull was not lying.

Du Mu used Red Skull's forces to search for other super villains, but found that few responded. Those super villains were all warlords who controlled their own territories and had extraordinary abilities. They would not easily obey Red Skull's orders.

Even with force, ordinary soldiers are no match for these supervillains.

"It seems I'll have to take matters into my own hands," Du Mu shook his head.

At this point, Mulang proposed leaving.

His mission was complete, and now that Red Skull was dead, he was free of any major worry. All he wanted now was to take the promised reward from Hawkeye and head home to pay his rent.

It's worth mentioning that his landlord was none other than Hawkeye's former colleague, Bruce Banner, the human form of the Hulk.

Logically speaking, Bruce Banner and Old Man Wolf are old acquaintances, so he shouldn't make things difficult for him.

But the world has long been distorted. The great war that ended the era of heroes fifty years ago plunged this good-natured man into darkness. In addition, the long-term gamma radiation erosion has pushed Banner's mind into the abyss of madness.

Banner kidnapped his cousin, and together they created a huge green family, forming the fearsome Hulk gang, which ruled over the entire area where Old Wolf lived.

If Old Wolf fails to pay the rent on time, those restless little Hulks are very likely to come knocking and cause trouble.

Du Mu did not stop him; instead, he planned to send Mu Lang back.

He hadn't forgotten his main objective: to help Twilight Wolf resolve his inner conflict, restore the vitality of his self-healing factor, and then invite him to join the Undying Alliance.

Compared to the beginning, Twilight Wolf has changed a lot and will even fight back.

Now it's just one step away from victory.

When Hawkeye heard about it, he wanted to go back with them. He was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, and he spent all his time shouting "Long live Hydra!" He couldn't stand staying in this lousy place anymore.

However, Du Mu asked him to stay and transfer all the rights of the Red Skull to him.

Du Mu patted Hawkeye on the shoulder: "Do a good job. Now you are the current president of the United States. This world needs someone to reignite order."

After hearing this, Eagle Eye remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded.

Du Mu turned and left with Twilight Wolf and Deadpool.

In the square, only Hawkeye remained, facing the lined-up soldiers, each with their eyes fixed on him.

He took a deep breath and shouted, "Long live Hydra!"

"Long live Hydra!!"
