Eight Lottery Draws

The real world!

Exhausted, Russell returned home. Scientific research is a demanding and physically demanding job. He quickly washed up and lay down on the bed for a short nap.

During her research, Amelia passed by the gates of Paradise several times, but this Paradise was not the same as the real Paradise, and she ultimately did not enter it.

Russell knew the reason and, despite his busy schedule, took time to advise her that one must be down-to-earth and that there are no shortcuts to success, only perseverance.

Amelia, however, outwardly agreed but inwardly harbored doubts, believing that oral administration of the Holy Water was not as effective as injection!

"System, activate all the lottery draws for this World Quest."

[Bite]

[Host confirms lottery draw, 8 draws in progress...]

[The host has received the following rewards...]

Aside from Asmodeus's three draws, the other draws triggered by other characters in the story were all too weak for Russell to handle, so he kept them all to try his luck.

Because the system determined that Russell slacked off too much during the boss fight, he only got two chances to participate in the reward Lottery Draw. Overall, this World Quest was only a small success.

As long as the number of draws doesn't accumulate to double digits, Russell considers it a small profit.

[Item Card: Cross (Exquisitely crafted)]

Character Card: Asmodai (The demon Asmodai is summoning you)

[Skill Card: Pluck Feathers While Flying Past (Can randomly take one item from the opponent)]

[Character Card: Alucard (The Vampire King with near-infinite life)]

[Skill Card: Seven-Day Lock of Unbreakable Love (Rear Naked Choke)]

[Agility Attribute Point x1]

[Skill Card: Solar Flare (Converts energy into light, temporarily blinding the enemy)]

Character Card: Deadpool (the jerk)

"It's actually a very serious lottery?"

Russell was quite surprised by the result of the lottery, finding no fault with the outcome, or rather, not on the surface. As for the three Character Cards, none of them were good people according to the description, but he automatically ignored that, since he wasn't a good person either.

Allocate attribute points from the lottery and task rewards, Wealth Points, and start refreshing your personal panel.

[Host: Russell]

Strength: 90 (50+40)

[Body: 93 (71+22)]

[Intelligence: 95 (75+20)]

[Wealth: 100,700]

The 10 Free Attribute Points are evenly distributed, excluding the 'Intelligence' attribute points. This is the standard procedure for allocating attribute points for a mage character, and it should be done this way.

Before adding any points, Russell's three main attributes had improved to some extent. When he asked the system, he was told it was because of the Angel's Power.

When Gabriel's Angel's Power was depleted, some of the energy was used to strengthen his body!

Initially, he used lightning to strengthen his physique and obtain the 'Lightning Rod' physique, but this method became less effective.

Later, he indulged in excessive eating and drinking, and used the enhancement potion recipes from the Main God Space, experiencing short-term benefits. However, as his physique further strengthened, the gains gradually diminished, making it a useless resource that was difficult to discard.

Today, a new path to strengthening lies before us. As long as we find a powerful source of energy, and our bodies can withstand it, we can strengthen ourselves step by step.

He doesn't lack energy; he possesses two Infinity Stones in the Marvel Universe: one for space and one for power. However, the power within the stones is too volatile, making direct absorption too dangerous, and using the Infinity Gauntlet doesn't provide any enhancement, leaving him in a rather perplexing situation.

"Uncle Luo, the Angel's Power can have a strengthening effect, but the two gems may not. You'd better reconsider," the system reminded you.

The power of Holy Light is peaceful and stable; it's more like nourishment than enhancement. In contrast, the Infinity Stones would likely only cause destruction, so it's certainly not a good idea.

"How do you explain the earliest lightning? Lightning isn't a gentle form of energy, yet it was successfully amplified, wasn't it?"

"Uh, that's related to your constitution!"

Russell fell silent upon hearing this; it was indeed true. The lightning element was extremely compatible with him, and generalizations couldn't be made. However, he still decided to give it a try; his three attributes were about to break 100, and his obsessive-compulsive tendencies were getting impatient.

"Uncle Luo, Supergirl has entered the Main God Space, and I've obtained a new world node. Do you want to go in and take a look?"

"No rush, we'll talk about it later. I'm going to the Marvel Universe first."

Russell frowned and said, "Having just completed World Quest, rushing to the next one without stopping is physically exhausting, but mentally it's not. It would be better to go to the Marvel Universe to rest for a few days and take the opportunity to study the energy inside the gems."

Before heading to the Marvel Universe, Russell, as usual, opened a search engine and did a quick look at the three Character Cards. Indeed, none of them were good guys, or rather, they could be considered either good or bad.

The Character Card for 'Asmodai' nearly drove him to despair. He was an unorthodox demon with extremely despicable abilities, a disgrace among demons.

Russell silently retracted his previous statement. Asmodai lowered the bar, this lottery involving Yellow was utterly shameless.

A 7-day tour of the Marvel Universe!

Upon entering the Marvel Universe, Russell was astonished to discover that more than half a year had passed since he last left.

Because the World Anchor is fixed, the timeline of the Marvel Universe is basically fixed. Suddenly jumping forward by more than half a year is an extremely lucky phenomenon, and he hadn't encountered it many times before.

Hydra is on the right track and is currently in a phase of explosive growth. Because of his decentralization and hands-off management style, everything is handled by others, so it makes little difference whether he is there or not.

The subordinates were used to their leader frequently disappearing, but not showing up for almost half a year was a bit much.

In the past, Hydra's sphere of influence was limited to Earth and Mars, and it mainly operated within the solar system. It wouldn't be a big problem for its leader to disappear for ten days or half a month.

But things are different now. With influence expanding into the universe, many times without Russell's approval, others dare not make decisions on their own, which seriously affects the process of expanding influence.

What seems like a simple problem could be easily solved if Russell stayed in the Marvel universe for a long time, but that's precisely the crux of the matter: he can't stay in the Marvel Universe forever.

After a moment's thought, Russell used a Skill Card.

[Skill Card: Dark Projection (Will is the clone, will is the self)]

Russell had similar concerns long ago, fearing that the timeline would jump too quickly, and a century would pass between them. The plot was secondary; the key issue was Hydra's bad reputation. Without his the Oracle and control, they would definitely have been wiped out by the hero group.

Then all his sweat and effort will be wasted.

With his Skill Card used up, Russell's shadow lengthened, and a strange figure shrouded in black stood up.

"No wonder the skill is called Dark Projection, it looks just like the shadowy figure from Detective Conan..."

Russell was momentarily stunned. The clone looked like a villain. Was it really a good idea for him to take over commanding Hydra?

The clone has no face, no system, no gender, yet it perfectly inherits Russell's various abilities, and most importantly, his personality.

He was carefree and unrestrained, what is commonly known as being heartless. Ignoring his own flaws, the clone donned a black robe and a white mask, thus becoming the second Russell.

It's an oddball, but it's better to have one than nothing. Russell gathered a group of followers and pointed out the identity of his clone, so that the clone could handle all problems when he was not around.

Over the next few days, Russell put on the Infinity Gauntlet and familiarized himself with how to use the Power Stone, during which time he recklessly touched it with his hand.

The problem wasn't too serious. He survived because of the Hui Tailang Tattoo, and after lying in bed for two days, he came back to life.

With his worries resolved, he returned to the real world, had the system open a spatial node, and entered the Main God Space.
