The Twelfth Mission World

"Negotiation?"

Dormammu remained noncommittal, his magical flames burning fiercely in sync with his facial expression, seemingly indicating that he was interested, but his eyes radiated endless coldness.

The disparity in strength was too great; Dormammu didn't believe Russell was qualified to negotiate with him and that he should just obediently listen to him.

Dark energy coalesced, forming a towering black shadow that swooped down in an instant, engulfing Russell's location.

"It's gone! What happened?"

Dormammu was extremely surprised that the Dark Energy intended to corrupt Russell missed its target. He had seen the look in Dormammu's eyes and knew that his attack could not possibly fail.

Whoosh!

Russell reappeared, standing where he had just disappeared, gave the bewildered Dormammu the middle finger, cursed a couple of times, and vanished again.

"This is terrible! How do I deal with the boss camping my corpse?"

In the real world, Russell slumped in his computer chair. The moment Dormammu attacked, he decisively chose to return to town and re-enter the world, which was still the Dark Dimension.

This time, even jumping through time was useless. The Dark Dimension is Dormammu's domain, and no matter when he appears, Dormammu will detect him immediately.

The gaming experience was absolutely terrible!

Russell cursed the Master Gu Yi a few times, then opened his computer and searched for the keyword 'Dormammu'. The other party was a powerful figure at the level of a single universe, whose strength far Thanos at his base form.

In other words, if he wants to return to the Marvel Universe and continue his adventures, he must possess the strength to go toe-to-toe with Dormammu. He doesn't necessarily need to reach the level of the Sorcerer Supreme, but at the very least, he needs to have some special skills that can make Dormammu calm down and sit down to reason with him.

Clearly, Russell cannot accomplish all of this in a short time. With a bit of luck, drawing a couple more powerful cards might be enough to break the deadlock.

"I don't have high requirements. Character Card are fine, just give me a couple of awesome Item Card or Skill Card. I don't need the Heart of the Universe, but a fully equipped Infinity Gauntlet or Pocket Universe skill will do. I'm not picky."

"At the very least, a Time Stone would be nice, then I could negotiate with Dormammu..."

Speaking of the Time Stone, Russell was reminded of Doctor Strange from the Marvel movies. Searching for keywords revealed something interesting: the actor who used facial capture to portray Dormammu in the movies is the same person as Doctor Strange.

So this is a dialogue where I kill myself, I negotiate with myself, and I succumb to my own philosophy.

Click!

The door was pushed open, and Shen Menghan, without greeting Russell, walked into the kitchen carrying the groceries she had bought, behaving like the lady of the house.

Russell peeked out twice, feeling a little guilty. He raised his hand to smell himself, then quickly rushed into the bathroom and took another shower.

At the dinner table, Supergirl quickly finished her lunch. Russell noticed that she seemed to be in low spirits and had something on her mind, so he thought for a moment and then decided to remain silent.

"Hey, can't you tell I'm preoccupied?"

"I can tell."

"Aren't you curious and planning to ask why?"

"I'm curious! But if you don't want to tell me, it's pointless for me to ask. If you do want to tell me, I'll tell you even if I don't ask. So, the result is the same whether I ask or not."

"..."

Supergirl blinked, feeling that Russell had evolved from a straight-laced man into Autobots, or perhaps Decepticon.

Russell took a couple of bites of rice, then noticed Supergirl staring intently at him. He pursed his lips and said, "Hey, you seem a bit off today. Are you in a bad mood?"

"Hmm, do you remember the teammates I told you about before?"

Which one?

"The one who is very beautiful, rich, and has long legs."

The Supergirl" in question refers to Duan Xinlan. This was a difficult topic to discuss. Upon hearing this, Russell remained silent for three seconds before gently shaking his head: "I don't remember, I have no recollection of it."

"Hehe, you hesitated!"

"No, I was just trying to figure out who that person was, and then I couldn't remember anything." Russell quickly jumped to another topic. "What happened to your teammate? Did he have a botched plastic surgery?"

"Well, it's a long story..."

"Then I won't say anything."

"No, I'm going to tell you."

She had to get it off her chest; the Supergirl was finding it too hard to keep it all bottled up. "My teammate confided in me the other day, saying that the guy she liked was a woman in disguise, and for love, she switched careers to become a lesbian."

"That's great news!"

It's a good thing in every sense of the word; a happy ending for the whole family!

"A few days ago, I did a mission with her and met her goddess. She was fooled; her goddess was indeed a god. A pervert who seemed to be a woman disguised as a man, but was actually a man disguised as a woman, and then a woman disguised as a man!"

Russell hesitated before speaking, "Is it not a good idea to say this? Perhaps they have some unspeakable difficulties, but their intentions are good."

"Impossible. After returning from the Main God Space, my team members unanimously voted that that guy is a freak. My vice-captain even said he wanted to kill him."

(一`一)

There must be some misunderstanding here!

Before Russell could speak, Supergirl continued, "There's something I haven't told my teammate because I feel it would hurt her. When we're on a mission, I've noticed that freak keeps glancing at me."

"..."

It's normal for a pervert to peek at you, but it's abnormal if he peeks at your teammates.

"Aren't you angry?"

"Uh, why would I be angry?"

"I was being spied on by a pervert!" Supergirl was slightly annoyed. Russell's attitude was not manly at all; it was the behavior of a scumbag.

"Okay, I'm angry! Really!"

Noticing Russell's perfunctory attitude, Supergirl rolled her eyes. "I feel a little sorry for my teammate. The pervert she likes has tried to talk to me several times. Although I have tried my best to distance myself, she will find out sooner or later. What if... a conflict arises between us sisters then?"

Russell: "..."

There are too many flaws, and he doesn't know how to express them. He really wants to tell Supergirl that she doesn't need to feel guilty.

But then again, if Supergirl knew the truth, her attitude would definitely change completely, and he would be the one in trouble. So, better to sacrifice a friend than oneself; a public feud is actually quite good, let's do it this way!

"What do you think I should do about this?" Supergirl had no experience with this, frowned, and waved her hand downwards. "How about... next time you see him, if he dares to peek again, just find a secluded corner and kill him."

Russell wiped the cold sweat from his brow. "That's not good, too violent. If I were you, I would just pretend I didn't see it and let it go."

"Hey, how could you say that? That pervert was peeking at me!"

"..."

Russell felt like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat, completely unsure how to respond.

"Alright, I'll try again! If I can bring them together, that would be wonderful, don't you think?"

Russell said expressionlessly, "I think it's useless. It's up to you to think it and make you happy."

"Yes, you're so nice!"

Supergirl was so happy that she wrote three million words for Russell, whose 'strength' attribute points exceeded 100 and whose combat power soared to over 100,000. However, the difference was still huge, and his performance was basically no different from the original 30,000 words.

Although the three million words are long, the process is extremely tedious and boring. The specific descriptions are just filler, so I won't go into detail here. Just know that after Supergirl left, Russell ate a bag of goji berries.

In the following period, Russell returned to his daily routine, binge-watching TV shows to recharge his brain, while still focusing on his research into the Marvel Universe. Unfortunately, Dormammu blocked his way, preventing him from entering directly.

[Bite]

[Attention, host, the twelfth mission world is about to begin. Ten-minute countdown has started. Please prepare.]

"It's finally here. God help me, let my luck strike this time, and I can take down Dormammu and return to the Marvel Universe." Russell was terrified, afraid that without his wise leadership, Hydra would return to its old ways and go down the path of lawlessness.
