The talkative raven in the world of American comics

Chapter 178 The Advantage Lies With Me

The former White House, now the presidential residence.

President Red Skull stood in front of a huge display case in his office, quietly admiring the spoils of war stored inside.

These spoils were looted from the bodies of superheroes who died thousands of years ago.

Iron Man's suit, Doctor Strange's cape, Spider-Man's mask and web-shooters, Thor's helmet...

He figured nobody wanted these superhero costumes, so he just grabbed them and kept them as souvenirs.

It's not just a commemoration, it's also a lot of mockery.

They mocked the fate of these self-important heroes.

The mirror in the glass display case reflected the image of the Red Skull, who was not wearing a proper, expensive suit.

Instead, he was wearing tattered blue and red battle armor, with small white arrows on either side of his head.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the suit worn by Captain America, a former adversary.

"Steve..."

""

Red Skull stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the top of the display case, on a round shield with star patterns engraved on its surface.

"My wife always says I'm too sick. She thinks your uniform is too flashy, too tattered, and looks out of place on me."

Red Skull's tone carried a hint of regret, as if the deceased Captain America was his best friend.

"If you ask me, that's bullshit!"

Red Skull abruptly changed the subject, angrily saying, "What does this foolish woman know?! She has no idea about the bond between us!"

"In ancient times, after hunters killed their prey, they would skin them and wear the skin as a symbol of victory."

"I'm just imitating them, so why can't my fetish be allowed?"

Red Skull reached out and touched the shield at the top, but his fingers couldn't reach it.

But his action was merely an expression of his remembrance of Captain America.

"So I killed her. She didn't understand my thoughts at all, and she didn't understand your fashion at all."

My thoughts are very simple.

"I am now wearing your clothes; I have become you, I have become a being even more powerful than you!"

"Even now, if you reappear before me, I can still defeat you!"

"This! Is my philosophy!"

In this world today, territory has been divided up by these so-called villains.

No one dared to resist them, and even if they did, it was only for a fleeting moment.

Over the past decade, they have killed countless superheroes who were trying to change the world.

The results of it?

Only evil is eternal.

Thinking of this, Red Skull scoffed, "Good will always triumph over evil? Naive Boy Scouts."

Just as he decided to reward himself by looking at his spoils a little longer, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the office.

Red Skull frowned slightly and looked back.

The visitor was one of his subordinates, who was there to report to him on what had happened in each territory over a period of time.

"Your Excellency, President!"

"Didn't I tell you? Don't disturb me while I'm admiring my spoils, no matter what happens."

Red Skull said softly. He hated the rushed manner. Why act like something terrible had happened when the problems had already been solved?

The subordinate swallowed hard. "But I'm sure you'll care a lot about this, Your Excellency!"

"We'll see. I'm listening to the captain's voice, do you hear that? He's saying good will prevail over evil."

""

His subordinates were ashamed and dared not utter a single word, and could only silently wait for the President's daily appreciation to end.

About ten minutes later.

Red Skull snapped out of his reverie and left the showroom, satisfied.

At this moment, his mental state has reached its peak, and he will not be disturbed by anything!

Red Skull walked with his hands behind his back, his subordinates following a few steps behind him.

"Tell me, what's been going on lately?"

"I hate it so much."

"What the hell?!"

Less than a second later, Red Skull's composure crumbled. "Why didn't you say so sooner!?"

"6

""

Didn't you tell me to talk about this later?!

His subordinate muttered to himself, then truthfully replied, "According to our intelligence, Abomination and the Hulk fought a fierce battle last night."

Red Skull let out a long "oh," displaying an air of shrewdness and strategic planning.

"So it's a territorial dispute. If Hulk wins, California will be his."

"But the cause of death for Abomination was a bullet that pierced his head."

""

"bullet?"

Red Skull suddenly stopped and glanced back at his men.

"Does Magneto have any news to share?"

The subordinate said, "He said Abomination was going to greet his queen, which we guess is She-Hulk."

"But the other side also vanished, leaving only the corpse of the abomination at the scene; not even the bodies of the residents were left!"

'

""

Red Skull narrowed his eyes, showing great interest in the news.

The residents vanished into thin air; the only victim was Abomination, who was shot through the head.

So his super brain began to think.

Preventing unnecessary injuries to the public—that's definitely superhero style.

Oh, you locusts just won't die out!

The cause of death, according to the abhorrent theory, was being killed by a bullet.

That means the other side possesses powerful lethal weapons, capable of turning this Hulk-like creature back into human form?

Put Bronsky into a brief period of weakness, and then take advantage of that weakness to finish him off!

Good plan!

Red Skull snorted; it had been many years since he had used his super brain like this.

In less than half a minute, he easily deduced the whole story.

So simple~

""

Seeing that the president looked like he was thinking and wanted to be quiet, his subordinates didn't dare to continue speaking.

Fortunately, the astute president didn't spend much time thinking. Seeing that he had finished, his subordinate quickly asked, "Should we send Magneto to deal with them?"

"No rush, let's play around with them first."

Red Skull said dismissively, "These people will be happy to celebrate killing the Abomination. We'll step in when they realize that killing the Abomination won't change anything."

"That's what it means to give them hope, and then give them darkness."

"Have you learned it?"

"Your Excellency is truly wise!"

After his subordinate agreed, he added, "But Bullseye is already investigating this matter. Should we order him to stop?"

"Bullseye, huh?"

Red Skull thought for a moment, "Let him be. Having an extra spy won't be a problem."

Magneto?

Genetically modified foods have been developed very successfully, and in recent years fewer and fewer mutants have been born. There is no need for such a population to exist.

Let this fool guard those few acres of land until he dies.

As for killing the abomination superheroes?

snort!

There are more and more villains, and fewer and fewer heroes.

In any case, the advantage lies with him!
