A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

If it weren't for his two girlfriends, Cao Gui would have already given him a "tearing apart the mage" performance.

"Cough cough cough..." Casillas, standing shakily in the distance, realized that he had no chance of winning anymore.

"Damn it..." Casillas's face darkened. He could only continue to sacrifice himself to strengthen his body and gain greater power!

"Next time! Next time I'll eat you alive!" Casillas said viciously, staring at Cao Gui.

With a flick of his wrist, the ring slipped onto his fingertip, and he was about to open the portal to leave.

But suddenly his body stiffened, and the space around him was imprisoned. He couldn't even move his fingers.

"Come and go as you please?" Cao Gui sneered, "Is there anything so easy in this world?"

Blue light shone brightly in his hand, and a powerful spatial force reverberated continuously.

Peng!

Like shattered glass, in the blink of an eye, Casillas, along with the surrounding space, transformed into countless tiny spatial fragments that fell into the spatial rift.

The lingering fear on his face was still faintly visible.

"That's it for today!" Cao Gui clapped his hands and chuckled.

Hey~

[The host has eliminated four fanatical followers from the Dark Dimension, completing one "Eliminate Evil" mission. Reward: 1.6 Merit Points, 8 Experience Points.]

Upon seeing the system notification, Cao Gui frowned immediately. Four?

He did kill four of Casillas's men, and the reward was justified, but what about Casillas himself?

"Still not dead?" Cao Gui's face darkened. "What a nuisance!"

Chapter 447 Confession (Bonus Chapter 1)

Early morning, a villa in a New Jersey neighborhood.

The weather was fine and sunny, with dappled sunlight filtering through the tree canopy and dappling the lush streets. Chirping birds flitted about in the treetops, bringing a touch of life to the somewhat quiet community.

Inside the villa, Cao Gui slowly opened his eyes, his eyelids fluttering. He didn't get up, but moved his head slightly, nuzzling Gwen and Beth who were nestled on either side of his neck, and couldn't help but let out a satisfied sigh.

At this moment, Beth slowly woke up. Like Cao Gui, she only opened her eyes and did not get up. She raised the hand that was on Cao Gui and gently stroked Cao Gui's face and eyebrows.

"Honey, are you feeling better?" Beth asked with a soft laugh.

"What?" Cao Gui was completely bewildered. Am I sick? Why are you asking that?

"Ah~ right, Cao, are you feeling better?" Gwen also woke up, yawning as she asked, looking a little annoyed.

She finally understood why she hadn't discovered that this scumbag was cheating on her with two women: she was always so sleepy in the mornings that she would sleep until noon, so it was no wonder she hadn't found out.

What's even more frustrating is that Beth always wakes up faster than her.

“The Extremis virus is really good…” Gwen couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Her mutation was good in every way. Her speed, strength, agility, and perception had all been greatly improved, but her recovery ability was the only thing she didn’t have.

"What are you talking about?" Cao Gui rolled his eyes. "I can't understand a word you're saying."

“You’ve been in a state of anxiety ever since you came back from Las Vegas,” Gwen said softly, gently stroking Cao Gui’s eyes.

“Yes,” Beth continued, speaking softly. “At first, Gwen and I thought it was because of our relationship that you were like this, but that’s not the case.”

"You started to feel anxious back in Las Vegas."

“That’s it,” Gwen said. “You’re so eager to improve your skills that you even applied for a long leave of absence from school, something that has never happened before…”

At this point, a hint of worry flashed across Gwen's face, and she asked softly, "Darling, what happened?"

"Speak up, let's face this together, okay?"

Hearing their words, Cao Gui was taken aback. Had I made it that obvious before?

“You haven’t told us yet,” Beth scoffed, her hand bobbing up and down in the cup.

"Hiss..." Cao Gui gasped, "It's morning, don't do anything reckless... Come on..."

"Hmph, didn't you bully me enough this morning?" ×2

Cao Gui: "..."

Is...is that so?

"Ahem, okay." Cao Gui coughed twice, kissed his two girlfriends beside him, shrugged and said, "Actually, it's nothing serious, it's just that I've been targeted by a cosmic overlord."

"Universe...overlord?" The two girls were stunned for a moment. How did it get involved with the universe overlord...? Well, that makes sense.

The two women suddenly realized that yesterday's battle had brought out even the Dark Dimension and demons, so it was only natural that a cosmic overlord would appear.

The Ronin Who Began with Douluo Continent

"Because of that gem?" Gwen suddenly realized the key point. Cao Gui didn't have anything important on him, except for the trophy he took from S.H.I.E.L.D.

“Yes,” Cao Gui said helplessly, “That man’s name is Thanos. He’s mentally ill. He thinks there are too many human beings in the universe, consuming too many resources, so… he wants to kill half of all life in order to save the universe.”

Upon hearing this, both Gwen and Beth's lips twitched. So, that person really was sick, too unrealistic, too eager for quick success, and too inconsiderate of the natural course of events.

"To accomplish all this, this man has been slaughtering people in the universe with his army. In order to achieve this goal even faster, he decided to collect the gems. Once he has collected all six gems, he can snap his fingers and all life in the universe will be completely wiped out."

The two women were speechless for a moment, so regardless of whether they handed over the gem or not, they would have to face this madman named Thanos.

"So that's how it is..."

"No wonder you've been so anxious lately..."

Gwen and Beth said with some heartache that they couldn't help in this matter and might even be a hindrance.

"It's alright, it's not a big problem," Cao Gui comforted them, patting their smooth backs.

"If we kill Thanos, everything will be solved. If we can't solve the problem, we can just get rid of the person who raised it."

The two women nodded silently, but some worry remained in their hearts...

"Huh? Isn't today Monday?" Cao Gui glanced at the digital clock on the bedside table and exclaimed in surprise.

At this time, Gwen and Beth should be in class.

“Yes, but don’t worry about it,” Beth scoffed. “I’m already the chairperson of a company worth tens of billions, why would I need to go to school?”

“Exactly, I’m worth hundreds of millions, I don’t need to go to school at all,” Gwen scoffed, throwing off the covers and sliding down.

Although yesterday's battle only consumed a few spider silk threads, we still need to replenish them!

"Hiss hiss hiss... Ugh..."

Before he could even finish inhaling the cold air, Beth covered his mouth with hers.

……

In the afternoon, Cao Gui lay listlessly on the living room sofa, his hair disheveled, his lips slightly pale, and he looked extremely haggard.

"Ah...only children make choices. Adults know that one is not enough to handle..." Cao Gui rolled over, rubbing his waist in frustration. Especially since his girlfriends were all enhanced humans, they were really fierce when they fought. Calling them "sister" didn't work. They were even happy to tell him not to call them "sister" and to let "sister" call them that.

Ring ring~

The phone suddenly rang, and Cao Gui picked it up and pressed the answer button: "Hello?"

"Cao, it's me!" Sitwell's voice came through the microphone: "You... Huh? Are you alright? You sound so tired."

Cao Gui rolled his eyes: "Get to the point, what's wrong?"

“Pierce wants to get Loki’s scepter back. It’s been with Strucker for too long and needs to be taken back.”

"Then let's take it," Cao Gui said nonchalantly. "Find Baron Strucker, unleash a barrage of fire, and that's it, isn't it?"

"Don't worry about the scepter, that thing is indestructible. Even if it gets hit head-on by a cannonball, it'll be fine."

"Baron Strucker created two enhanced humans with his scepter. They are very powerful. Our people went there, but they were unable to defeat them."

"Ah~ Where's Stark?" Cao Gui yawned and asked listlessly.

"He can defeat male enhanced humans, but he can't beat female enhanced humans... Are you sure you're okay?" Sitwell asked worriedly, he could sense Cao Gui's poor condition even over the phone.

"Huh? Is Stark alright?" Cao Gui straightened his back and sat up from the sofa, ignoring Sitwell's question.

"Is he alright?"

"I don't know, but she looks fine..." Sitwell said hesitantly.

Cao Gui remained silent for a while, then said, "Alright, I'll go take a look..."

Cao Gui sighed, hoping Tony Stark wouldn't create another Ultron or Vision.

Chapter 448 Tony Stark's Plan (Bonus Chapter 2)

A few days later, at a seaside villa on Long Island.

Like Cao Gui, Tony Stark leaned against the sofa, lying there half-dead.

His eyes were vacant as he stared blankly at the ceiling, a lingering fear still visible in his expression.

A single image kept replaying in my mind: in deep space, a colossal warship relentlessly spewed forth its own engines, and countless soldiers and weapons hurtled toward Earth.

Passing through the portal and arriving in New York, in just a few breaths, the entire Earth was engulfed in flames, and human civilization was reduced to dust in the rising fire.

Tony Stark shuddered; he knew what he was seeing: from the perspective of aliens during the Battle of New York.

Although the battle was won because one of his side had a powerful human, everyone dies eventually. Tony still doesn't know the true identity of the masked helmeted man, and he won't place his hopes on someone who hides himself in a mask and black robe.

"This can't go on..." Tony murmured. He had to find a way to do something for this world, so that if that day came, at least they could still fight and die.

Thinking of this, a determined look appeared in Tony's eyes. He had to get Loki's scepter, which had created two very powerful enhanced humans without any side effects.

Perhaps, I can find the solution in that scepter!

Thinking of this, Tony tapped the holographic panel on the tea table: "Jarvis, do you remember what that one-eyed black guy said?"

"Sir, is the one-eyed black man you're talking about Nick Fury, the previous director of S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

"Really...right?" Tony rolled his eyes. "Who cares what that black bastard's identity is?"

Jarvis ignored Tony's uncertain words and pulled up footage of the Orc riot at Saks Tower in New York.
