Chapter 133 What do you think of me?
After finalizing the deal, Russell returned to the New York reading room lounge and lay down.
【Attribute Points:】
Opening the properties panel and looking at the five-figure balance, Russell felt that life was full of gloom.
"I am probably, possibly, perhaps, likely, most likely the poorest of the ancient gods."
"It seems that the pace of initial energy accumulation needs to be accelerated."
dong dong dong~
"Please come in."
Russell was surprised to see the thin, petite girl walk in through the door.
"Jia Ya, is there something you need?"
The newcomer was none other than Princess Gaya of the Skrulls. She carried two cups of milk tea and walked somewhat awkwardly to Russell.
"Here you go, mango pomelo sago with less ice. I heard from Wanda that besides grass jelly, you drink this quite often."
"Thanks, Jia Ya."
Russell took the milk tea and drank it by himself.
Jia sat down opposite Russell, hesitated for a moment, and then mustered up her courage to ask, "Russell, are the Skrulls doomed?"
"Um?!"
Russell looked up and glanced at Jia Ya in surprise, wondering how she had come to this conclusion.
"Why do you say that?"
"Captain Carol has returned to Earth with bad news. In space, the Kree Empire's pursuit of the Skrulls is intensifying."
Jia Ya's voice slowly rose, filled with grief and fear.
“Wait a minute,” Russell interrupted Jia Ya.
“Jaya, tell me first how the Kree and Skrulls started their conflict. I don’t leave Earth much, so I don’t know much about things in the universe.”
Russell was not entirely unaware of the feud between the Kree and the Skrulls, but the versions differed across different universes.
As a figure from the multiverse, Russell adhered to the principle of seeking truth from facts, and was never metaphysical or stereotypical.
"Initially, the Skrulls were a race that was affected when the Kree expanded their cosmic territory."
"But as the Kree waged massive space wars throughout the universe."
"In order to have a legitimate reason for their attack, or to create a reasonable justification, the Crees fabricated the Skrull threat theory."
“Using the pretext that the Skrulls threatened the safety of the Cree, they hunted down the Skrulls everywhere.”
"At the same time, we are waging wars of conquest."
This time, Jia Ya's voice was filled with hatred.
“Hmm.” Russell nodded, signaling Jiaya to continue.
"Now, there are fewer and fewer Skrulls still alive in the universe."
"More than a decade ago, Captain Carroll promised to help us find a new home to escape the Kree's pursuit."
"But even now, it still hasn't been found."
Jia Ya took a slight breath and continued.
"Now, a voice has emerged within the tribe: to invade Earth and take it for ourselves."
After speaking, Jia Ya looked at Russell, wanting to observe his expression.
To her disappointment, Russell showed no change in expression and continued to concentrate on drinking his milk tea.
"Go on, I'm listening."
"Russell, you'll definitely intervene, won't you?"
"Although you say you have no prejudice against Skrulls."
"But if the Skrulls succeed, you will definitely intervene!"
"That will be the end of the Skrulls."
Jia Ya's voice trembled as she stared nervously at Russell, who slowly nodded.
“You’re right, Jia Ya.”
"But you're wrong about one thing: the Skrulls won't succeed."
Russell lowered his head, finished his drink, and then looked up at Jia Ya.
"You've come to me, what do you want my help with?" Jiaya pondered for a long time before slowly speaking, "I want you to help me kill Gravik. He's the leader of the Skrull faction that advocates invading Earth."
"A cup of milk tea is far from enough for me, little girl."
Russell looked at the empty glass, and the next moment, the glass automatically refilled.
"Also, please don't try to seduce me. I have a girlfriend, and we have a great relationship."
Jia Ya pursed her lips before speaking, "Russell, what do you think of me?"
Russell: "!!!"
You don't think I'm being sarcastic, do you?
Seeing that Russell had misunderstood, Jia Ya quickly explained, "I mean, what do you think of my aptitude? Do I have a chance to become the Sorcerer Supreme?"
"Did Wanda tell you that?" Russell asked.
“Mm.” Jia Ya nodded.
"When did your relationship become so good that she even told you this?" Russell asked curiously.
He remembered that Gaya and Wanda had only met for the first time a few days earlier.
“I discovered we were college classmates. I’ve been tutoring her these past few days,” Jia Ya explained in a low voice.
Russell remained silent; he still felt it was very unreasonable.
After scrutinizing Jia Ya for a moment, Russell shook his head.
“Jia Ya, your talent is still a little short of that of a Sorcerer Supreme.”
Or rather, he fell just short of Russell's ideal of a Sorcerer Supreme.
Wanda, the Scarlet Witch, possesses chaos magic;
Loki has already shown his talent for time magic, and in some versions, he is also portrayed as the god of stories and the god of time.
Tony, although lacking in magical talent, is a tech genius, and in one version, he is even the God of Machines.
It's fair to say that each member of Russell's Sorcerer Supreme Order possesses unique skills.
"Super Skrulls possess the ability to copy, allowing them to replicate the abilities of their imitators."
"This mechanism looks excellent, but it only looks good."
"Without improving its inherent strength, the ability to replicate will always be flawed or impossible to replicate at all."
Jiaya remained silent; this wasn't the first time Russell had said this to her.
"However, besides becoming the Sorcerer Supreme and protecting the real world for me, there is something else I need someone to do for me."
"What is it?" Jia Ya asked anxiously.
"I need an apostle to find another dimension for me. Or rather, to find the dimension of hell for me."
Russell's voice echoed softly.
"This is a dangerous job that requires traveling to different universes and different dimensions."
Russell's initial idea was to recruit Spider-Man as an apostle to help find the Hell Dimension.
Spider-Man, backed by the web of life and destiny, finds it easier to traverse the multiverse.
But Spider-Man is mostly a morally upright person.
Perhaps he's too busy punishing evildoers and promoting good in the streets and alleys to do the important things Russell arranged.
Jia Ya, thanks to her Super Skrull's copying ability, can quickly build up a decent fighting force.
"Then, can I find a planet for the Skrulls to settle on in another universe?"
Jia Ya quickly digested the information in Russell's words and grasped a key word—different universes.
Once they reached other universes, the Kree were no longer hunting them down.
Russell nodded: "Of course."
"However, the difficulty of a few people traveling through the multiverse is vastly different from that of millions of people traveling through the multiverse."
“Jia Ya, if you want me to do this favor, you might have to work for me for a very, very long time.”
Jia Ya nodded emphatically.
