Hydra Meeting

Seeing Yelena lower her head in silence, realizing her mistake, Russell generously chose not to pursue it. "I know about Steve. Any other major events?"

Yelena froze slightly. Russell's nonchalant attitude left her deeply puzzled. "BOSS, isn't Hydra Captain's betrayal the most important major event?"

"Not really. Try another one."

BOSS, I was now the ruler of the Dark Dimension, the Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj, and I had recently killed an Evil God at the single-universe level. How lofty was my status!

And now you were telling me Hydra Captain had betrayed me?

This was clearly entertainment, all right!

The times had gotten carried away—pah, Russell had changed... Ahem, times have changed!

With the Dark Dimension at his back, Russell possessed inexhaustible energy to squander in the Marvel universe. The Captain America of the past, Captain Marvel who had once teamed up with him against Thanos, and the current Hydra Captain Steve Rogers could no longer command his attention.

Just as Yelena was about to respond, Russell's shadow clone arrived with several key personnel from Hydra's Svartalfheim base. They had reached Earth from Svartalfheim so quickly thanks to Asgard's Bifrost.

Hydra had always maintained a good relationship with Asgard. Though their first meeting had not been pleasant, exchanges between the two sides had become increasingly frequent after Hydra established an interstellar mercenary force.

Thirty-five years ago, before Russell was taken to the Dark Dimension by the Sorcerer Supreme, he ordered the formation of Hydra's three great legions.

These three legions were the Winter Soldier Legion, injected with improved Super Soldier Serum; the armored legion, equipped with Heart-shaped herb and individual Iron Man Suits; and the Alice Legion, composed of T-Virus clones with Mental Enhancement Bracelets.

The three legion commanders were Bucky, who had followed Russell the longest, Yelena, and Natasha.
