Don't Be Afraid, I'm Just Brushing Your Teeth

While applying buffs to the enemy, you can't neglect yourself either. After all, Marvel's mages are generally quite skilled in combat, and magic that relies entirely on hidden attacks is not very effective.

Berserk! Bloodlust! Breath Concealment! Pain Reduction!

There's also Dark Elemental Magic, as well as enchanting, alchemy, Weapon Crafting, Dark Elemental Wings...

The game comes with Blacklight Effect upon entry, guaranteeing users will stand out from the crowd, refuse mediocrity, win the best look of the night, and become the most handsome guy that everyone envies.

Although darkness is just a power and does not represent evil, and it also has a pure side, these magics consume a lot of energy, allowing them to draw more and faster power from the Dark Dimension and release it in the Earth dimension.

It subtly accelerates the connection between the two dimensions.

"Uh, should we add Life Extension Magic? I remember the Female Sorcerer Supreme in the movie used the power of the Dark Dimension to extend her life..." Russell hesitated, feeling that doing so seemed a bit unethical.

After all, if a mage is immersed in Dark Energy for a long time, he will eventually be infiltrated by the darkness and become a puppet driven by power, that is, his slave.

Russell thought about it and finally added it.

It's unethical, but he's just a writer; he's not forcing anyone to use his work.

Yes, it was me who wrote the Nuclear Fission Equation, but what do I, a scientist, know about atomic bombs!

Russell was obsessed with copying books...

Ahem, I'm so engrossed in the joy of writing and creating books, and I'm completely absorbed in the ocean of magical knowledge.

After finishing the initial draft, he made some revisions and, once he confirmed there were no major problems, he released it to Kamar-Taj so that other mages could test it out.

If it doesn't work well, just tell me, and I'll fix it on the spot to make sure it's easy to use and that everyone can master some impressive Dark Magic.

Russell was selfless and helpful in imparting knowledge, teaching skills, and resolving doubts!

Once the closed beta test is over, the full revised version will be released to the entire universe immediately.

One should not be stingy with one's knowledge. After all, scholarship knows no borders; what belongs to Earth belongs to the universe. Although he may be stingy, he understands that magical things should be shared.

I am for everyone, and everyone is for me!

Thinking about it this way, Russell suddenly felt that he was great and righteous, and his spiritual realm was different.

Russell forgot that writing a book is a very time-consuming and laborious task. By the time he finished writing the Dark Dimension Magic Compendium, three months had already passed.

When he first browsed through the Magic Book in the library, he was so focused that he forgot about the passage of time. He only realized that ten days had passed when he was awakened by the Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One.

This time, he copied the book and wrote the spell at the same time, so time passed even faster. Fortunately, his 'physical' attribute points were increased to over 100, otherwise he would have been exhausted to death.

Once the book was finished, Russell jogged to his assistant, the Master Ding Yi, to spread the Magic Book of the Dark Dimension so that the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj could have a look at it.

You don't have to learn it, but you should definitely take a look, because after you see it, you'll want to learn it.

Ding Yi was extremely averse to the Dark Dimension magic that Russell had concocted. Although everyone was borrowing power, stolen power would cause irreparable damage to the body.

Russell insisted there was nothing wrong and made Ding Yi try it. Ding Yi couldn't refuse Russell, so he picked a few spells to try one by one, and the result was...

It smells so good!

The energy of the Dark Dimension seemed to have changed its nature; the once restless and highly corrosive energy became incredibly docile under the spell written by Russell, greatly reducing its damage to the body.

Although the residual power will still put a burden on the body, the energy borrowed from other places is the same, and the energy burden of the Dark Dimension is extremely low, far below the average, so it is no exaggeration to say that it is good value for money.

This is something even the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, couldn't do!

Ding Yi was filled with awe, thinking to himself that the Master Gu Yi had indeed made the right choice. Although Russell was unreliable, he could be serious when he was serious and deserved the title of Sorcerer Supreme.

Although it's only a temporary measure!

Thanks to Ding Yi's promotion, the ascetics of Kamar-Taj became quite interested in Dark Dimension magic, and after trying it out, they gave it rave reviews.

Some people immediately switched their major to Dark Magic, placing it on par with the White Magic of the Trinity of Vishanti, claiming it to be a great miracle in the magical world.

Russell, who had just taken office, thus gained a great deal of praise. The ascetics admired him highly, especially in terms of his magical skills. No one dared to associate him with being unlearned anymore.

"Being young doesn't mean lacking knowledge. There are creatures in this world called geniuses, Sorcerer Supreme of this generation is the best example..."

"As expected of Master of Magic who fought in the Dark Dimension for over thirty years and defeated the Evil God Dormammu in one fell swoop!"

I am truly ashamed of myself!

"..."

Russell refused the applause, saying that although he was a genius, people shouldn't praise him too much. He said that praising him for 24 hours was enough, and he would get angry if it went on any longer.

Upon hearing such remarks, the ascetics remained silent, proving that the shamelessness of the Ancient One's chosen successor was indeed inherited.

Hydra Base Wakanda.

Because the Heavenly Express was delayed for more than three months, Natasha, who had a ticket, was very dissatisfied, Yelena, who hitched a ride halfway through the journey, also protested a few times.

Russell knew he was in the wrong; the facts were as they were, and there was no point in explaining. He worked tirelessly and persevered with unwavering determination, eventually winning over the two men and successfully getting the negative reviews removed.

Following this, Russell convened an internal Hydra meeting. In addition to key personnel, the Marvels from his subordinate organization, T'Chaka, the King of Wakanda known as "Black Panther," who was also a lackey from the neighboring country, were invited to attend the meeting.

The meeting focused on the future development of Hydra and how to better protect the peace of the Earth.

It sounds incredible, but it's true, except the meeting was very short, lasting less than five minutes.

The meeting was actually just a publicity stunt. Russell had gathered everyone together to discuss two main things: the appearance of Kree Empire Warship in near-Earth orbit and the aftermath of Steve, Howard, and others' open betrayal.

To put it bluntly, the first thing isn't important; the main thing is to establish authority in front of everyone and give them something to look forward to.

Russell sat upright in the main seat, glancing at everyone before speaking, "This time, I've been away for thirty-five years, and some bad signs have emerged within the organization. Of course, I also bear some responsibility. Dimensional Demon God invaded, I rushed in without a second thought, and was gone for many years, giving certain unstable elements an opportunity to take advantage..."

"I won't name names here to criticize Steve Rogers, Howard Stark, Peggy Carter, and Maria Stark!"

"..."X4

The four men, pulled aside and standing against the wall, were expressionless, each holding an A4 sheet of paper with their names written on it. Among them, Howard and two others were handcuffed and dressed in black and white striped shirts and trousers.

Howard was the worst affected, looking haggard and emaciated. He hadn't been abused much, but he looked like this after not shaving or grooming his hair for three months.

"First of all, Natasha, Yelena, and Bucky, who performed outstandingly in this incident, will be rewarded by the organization. Merit must be rewarded; they were strict with themselves, resisted the temptations of unsettling elements, and reduced the organization's losses. They deserve commendation," Russell said, leading the applause.

Snap snap snap snap ————

As the applause subsided, Russell pulled a vial resembling the T-Virus-like Serum from his pocket. "This vial contains 'self-healing factor' gene-enhancing serum. After injection, it can slow down aging and grant powerful self-healing abilities. Even if you are beheaded and have your heart ripped out, as long as your spirit remains, you can heal yourself. Regenerating severed limbs is also a piece of cake."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes burned with fervor, especially the three people named Bucky companion, whose gazes were practically shooting out of their Heat Vision.

"Yelena, this is yours."

"Okay, BOSS!" Upon hearing this, Yelena grabbed the self-healing factor, moving so fast that she left an afterimage in mid-air.

"Natasha, give me your hand."

Upon hearing Russell's words, Natasha was slightly taken aback. Considering that Russell wouldn't do anything reckless in public, she placed her palm flat in his hand.

Russell silently instructed the system to use the 'Potential Unleashed' Skill Card, then raised his hand and held it on Natasha's palm for three seconds.

[Skill Card: Potential Unleashed (Go share this with others!)]

Natasha had always been the one giving him "benefits," and Russell figured that since the film card was just sitting there anyway, he might as well give her a "benefits" this time.

It just so happens that Natasha has integrated with the T-Virus, and her progress in telekinesis has hit a bottleneck. By unleashing her potential, she won't have to wait any longer.

"..."

The others didn't understand what Russell meant. Was it really necessary to be in such a hurry to touch a female subordinate's hand during a meeting?

Natasha didn't understand at first either. As she pondered the deeper meaning behind the three seconds, a strange power suddenly surged within her, strengthening her physical abilities and allowing her to unleash her telekinetic powers to reach a new level.

Buzzing!

Inside the meeting room, a heavy pressure descended, causing everyone to catch their breath and look in surprise at the source Natasha.

"I unlocked her potential, enhancing not only her speed, strength, explosiveness, and endurance—abilities that can be visually represented by data—but also her mental strength, allowing her to maximize the evolutionary effects of the T-Virus," Russell explained.

With the pressure gone, Natasha breathed a deep sigh of relief and nodded to Russell, everything understood without words.

Russell nodded. "The rewards have been distributed, now it's time to..."

"Wait a minute, sir, my... reward..." Bucky was completely bewildered. What did he mean by "it's all been distributed"? He hadn't received anything yet!

"Here's the hammer. God-tier Individual Weapon from the Kree Empire. Use it well and don't let me down," Russell said casually.

"..."

Bucky sat down expressionlessly. He had roughly figured out what had happened, but he couldn't say it.

"There must be a reward and a punishment. This incident has deeply saddened me. I am unhappy, and naturally there must be someone even more unhappy than me..." Russell looked at the four people by the wall. "Howard, what do you think?"

Howard immediately burst into tears. "Boss, I have devoted myself to the organization and have always been loyal to you. Please give me a chance!"

Howard felt wronged. The main culprit, Steve, was highly regarded by Russell. He got away with his crime but was instead assigned to stay on Earth to carry out a mission to defend against an alien invasion, which was practically like a vacation.

But he, an accomplice, was singled out. This was a way of making an example of him to deter others.

Russell said gently, "Howard, don't get agitated. I've always remembered your contributions to the organization. Now I'm giving you a chance. If you can seize it, not only your mistakes, but also Maria's and Carter's mistakes can be forgiven."

"..."

Howard remained silent; his intuition told him that this was definitely not a good thing!

Furthermore, Maria is one thing, but why did he have to take the blame for Carter's mistakes? She's Steve's wife!

"Find a dark room, set up the camera, and bring Howard there..." Russell smiled slightly and instructed, "Bucky, pick two strong and muscular Winter Soldier, and you come along too."

Howard gasped, pressing his back against the wall. "Boss, what are you doing?"

"Don't worry, it's just brushing your teeth!"

Russell wasn't lying; he really was just brushing his teeth, but the way the video turned out...

It's cruel and bloody!

In the shot, two Winter Soldier wearing masks stand on either side of each other, with Howard kneeling in front of them.

Bucky approached Howard from behind with a cold expression. His Vibranium arm gleamed coldly as he lifted the black hood from Howard's head, revealing a haggard face.

Howard's eyes were vacant, his beard was unkempt, and his long-neglected hair hung down in front of his forehead.

Bucky grabbed Howard's hair, held him down, and then extended his metal arm forward, stuffing a toothbrush into Howard's mouth and cleaning it repeatedly.

Because of the camera angle, the toothbrush wasn't captured on camera; only Howard's upper face was shown, along with his increasingly dim eyes and the melodramatic splattered on the lens by director and production assistant Russell, which was extremely suggestive.

The video editing was successful. Russell nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad. Send it to Howard's house, and write the recipient as... Tony Stark!"
