A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

"Damn it... It's Thanos again!" Cao Gui couldn't help but curse under his breath, feeling inexplicably irritated, and his anger was rising uncontrollably.

“Original Stone Holder, after all this talk, now hand over the original stone to me,” Casillas said, extending his hand to Cao Gui.

Cao Gui curled his lip and said indifferently, "We've finished talking, get lost, don't bother me."

Casillas froze. They had been chatting so happily, and he thought he had found a kindred spirit, but he never expected that it was just a scoundrel who was trying to steal information for free.

“Since that’s the case…” Casillas’s expression gradually returned to its previous gloomy look. He clasped his hands together and pulled them apart, revealing a colorless, transparent spatial blade.

Behind him, four followers dressed in dark red mage robes followed suit, and five transparent spatial blades immediately emitted a chilling aura.

Seeing this, Gwen snorted coldly, gripped the short stick in her hand, and prepared to strike. Beth did the same, a faint heat emanating from her palm, instantly distorting the surrounding air.

The atmosphere instantly became tense. Cao Gui curled his lip, picked at his nails, and asked casually, "Since you know I am the holder of the gem, then you should know my combat strength."

"I'm curious, what gives you the confidence to stand in front of me and spout such nonsense?"

"I am a traveler of the Dark Dimension, and my great master Dormammu has bestowed upon me unparalleled power," Kaecilius said through gritted teeth, suppressing his fervor as he formed a hand seal with one hand.

He couldn't help but show this fanatical expression whenever Dormammu's name was mentioned.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, an invisible and intangible transparent barrier passed through Cao Gui and the other two. Gwen's expression changed slightly. Although the scene in front of her had not changed, she knew clearly that she was no longer in her own home.

"Mirror space?" Cao Gui smiled faintly, the Space Stone in his hand emitting a hazy light.

"They're really courting death..."

"Kill them!" Casillas shouted, and four men behind him leaped out and pounced on Cao Gui and his two companions.

Chapter 444 Dormammu?

Looking at the four people who seemed oblivious to their own mortality, Cao Gui snorted coldly, spread his five fingers, and in the void behind him, invisible blades emitting bursts of cold light floated behind him.

Those blades were exactly the same as the spatial blades in the hands of Casillas and his group of five.

Just as Cao Gui was about to unleash a barrage of arrows, Gwen and Beth simultaneously grabbed Cao Gui's arms.

“Darling, leave them to me and Beth!” Gwen said eagerly, looking a little excited.

On the other side, Beth also showed an excited look on her face, leaving Cao Gui speechless for a moment: "Okay, be careful."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gwen took a step forward and darted out. With a sudden flick of her wrist, the short stick in her hand extended to the length of a staff that reached her eyebrows.

With a sudden twist of his waist, the extended stick created a whooshing sound.

Snapped!

A sharp cracking sound rang out from the neck of a fanatic dressed in a mage's robe.

It then slammed into their companion, sending both of them flying to the side and landing some distance away.

Beth dodged the two fanatics' blades and turned around. With a swift chop, the intense heat instantly cleaved a large gash in one of their bodies. Then, with another turn, she kicked the other away.

In a single exchange, all four of Casillas's fanatics were defeated.

"You're the only one left." Cao Gui sneered, pointed his finger, and the spatial blades floating behind him shot out with a whoosh.

"Hahaha... You underestimate us believers of the Dark Dimension!" Kaecilius laughed wildly, and with a sudden grab of his left hand, another spatial blade appeared.

Casillas swung his arms wildly, the clanging of blades echoing incessantly, but how could Cao Gui's attack be so easily defended?

With several soft thuds, Casillas retreated repeatedly, desperately trying to protect himself with both hands, but the endless spatial blades still turned him into a pincushion.

That's it?

Cao Gui frowned, sensing that something was amiss. If Kaecilius was so easy to deal with, then the Ancient One wouldn't have been unable to defeat him for so long... Well, it's also possible that he was specifically left for Strange.

Regardless, Casillas was no weakling. The moment the thought crossed his mind, black light surged from his body as he transformed into a hedgehog.

Moreover, the black light was a multicolored black, looking like gasoline dripped into ink—strange and somewhat disgusting.

In just one breath, Casillas broke free from the countless spatial blades binding him, and his injuries rapidly healed. He shook the spatial blade in his hand, grinned, and acted as if nothing had happened, while also putting the spatial blade away.

Cao Gui ignored him and looked at the four people that Gwen and Beth had dealt with. Sure enough, they had all recovered from their serious injuries and were grinning as they attacked Gwen and Beth again.

Immortality?

Cao Gui's face immediately darkened. An annoying ability!

"As expected of someone who possesses a Primal Stone, truly formidable." Casillas formed hand seals and sneered.

"But you can never understand the greatness of the Dark Lord, and you can never imagine just how powerful the forces of darkness truly are."

After saying that, he pushed his hands outwards in a mudra, and instantly the world turned upside down, with the ground surging and undulating like waves.

While Casillas and his five companions remained stationary, their physical presence seemed to grow further and further away from each other.

"Damn it, what happened?" Gwen exclaimed in shock, shooting out spider silk to stick to the building and instantly detaching herself from the ground, while Beth was grabbed by Cao Gui and floated in the air with him.

"Original Stone holder, the Mirror Space is a world I control." Kaecilius sneered, "Using one world against you is enough!"

Kaecilius was very confident in himself. Kamar-Taj magic was cast by borrowing power from higher-level beings. He could use the white magic power of the Vishanti or the dark magic power of Dormammu. Neither power would affect his ability to cast mirror magic.

In this world, the only person he feared was the Ancient One. This woman, like him, drew upon the power of darkness, but in terms of magical skill, he couldn't even come close to the Ancient One.

"Heh... How arrogant!" Cao Gui sneered, "Since that's what you think, then I'll play with you."

Cao Gui twisted his neck, making a series of cracking sounds from his joints, and gently pushed Beth away from Gwen.

Gwen and Beth wanted to pick a fight, and so did he.

Since obtaining the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, I have never used my full strength!

Casillas's expression changed slightly. He felt an inexplicable pressure and, sensing something was wrong, immediately cast a spell on himself.

Berserk, Bloodlust, Pain Reduction—several buffs rained down upon him, while flames ignited in his hands, and Kamar-Taj's signature magical shield appeared on his palms.

"Gwen, Cao... what happened to him?"

Beth asked in confusion, noticing that her boyfriend seemed a little different.

"Maybe... he hasn't fought in a long time and wants to have a fight?"

Gwen shrugged. Her boyfriend was probably fed up with being struck by lightning every day and wanted to have a fight to relax.

Sizzle~

Electric arcs swirled around Cao Gui, who was suspended in the air. From the arcs of electricity, which shone with silver-white lightning, four giant thunder wolves formed from condensed lightning slowly emerged.

The four giant wolves crouched low, their bright yellow fur radiating a chilling light. Their ferocious fangs were spread wide, revealing long canine teeth, as if they were howling.

But this was an elemental creature, unable to make a sound. Yet, the crackling lightning on its body surface, constantly spewing out noisy arcs of electricity, sent a chill down Casillas's spine.

"Damn it, there's such magic?" Casillas exclaimed in a trembling voice.

The next moment, Cao Gui snorted coldly, and the four giant wolves transformed into streaks of light and pounced out. Two of them attacked the four fanatics, and two pounced on Casillas.

Casillas's expression changed drastically. He no longer cared about his subordinates. He held up a magic shield with one hand, quickly formed hand seals with the other, and chanted incantations, preparing to cast a spell.

But unfortunately, it was too late!

Boom!

Lightning suddenly erupted, and the seemingly indestructible magical shield instantly shattered, the enormous impact forcing Casillas to retreat repeatedly.

Casillas felt a tightness in his chest, and his incantation was interrupted. His right arm began to feel numb.

"So strong..." Casillas was shocked. He had been using Berserk, Bloodlust and Pain Reduction magic, yet his defenses were completely broken by a single contact.

Boom!

At the same time, two loud, thunderous explosions rang out behind him, followed by the smell of burning. Without even looking, Casillas knew that his four subordinates were dead.

They are not inhuman; they just have a stronger ability to heal themselves.

But Casillas had no time to worry about that. A giant wolf suddenly appeared from the side, its huge jaws snapping down to bite Casillas.

Pfft!

Blood splattered as long fangs pierced Casillas's body from both ends, sending a sharp, numbing, and stinging sensation through his heart and abdomen.

"Ahhh..." Casillas trembled and howled. Even with the pain-reducing magic, he still couldn't bear the agony.

"This guy is so weak..." Beth scoffed, not even able to withstand a single move.

But Gwen didn't speak, instead looking at Casillas with a slight frown.

On the other side, Cao Gui was not very happy either. A red mark composed of several connected curves slowly appeared on Casillas's forehead, and at the same time, crack-like lines slowly appeared around his eyes.

Instantly, Casillas's eyes turned black as if they had been burned, and at the same time, his aura began to intensify rapidly.

"Dormammu?" Cao Gui said in a low voice, his face ashen.

Take a day off

I'm feeling a bit listless today because it's a holiday. Dear readers, this orange cat is taking a break. I'll update extra tomorrow to make up for what I missed! (😐😐😐)

Chapter 445 Don't even think about running away!

Before Cao Gui could finish speaking, Casillas's eyes instantly turned deep and dark, his body shimmered with iridescent light, and astonishing waves emanated from him.

Cao Gui snorted coldly, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart. But with a flick of his hand, the giant lightning wolf that was biting Casillas began to emit a blinding white light.

Boom!

The entire space seemed to tremble. Gwen and Beth instinctively covered their ears, but at that moment, a powerful shockwave exploded, carrying countless fragments of boulders that swept in like a tsunami.

"Oh no!" Beth cried out, trying to pull Gwen to hide, but Gwen pointed in front of them, and a prism-like spatial barrier appeared. The surging waves of boulder seemed to have an intelligent system, actively avoiding Gwen and Beth's direction.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

“Gwen, our boyfriend is amazing!” Beth’s breathing quickened.

“I knew he was strong, but I didn’t expect him to be this strong!” Gwen was equally shocked.

"Do you think... he's this good even in normal times?" Beth asked softly.

"what?"
