Hufflepuff in the Marvel Universe

Eastern Europe, Latvia.

This small, closed country began to change at a rapid pace after Victor Doom came to power.

As a fictional country in the Marvel Universe, Latveria plays a villain role most of the time. The reason is very simple, because this fictional country belongs to the former Soviet Union.

Black Maozi in the Marvel Universe is already a traditional art form, so it is only natural for a small country affiliated with Maozi's forces to act as the villain.

After the drastic changes in Eastern Europe and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Latvia fell into a national crisis, and various people's livelihood problems began to arise. Latvia, which has a weak light industry, began to see prices soar. Especially for products related to people's livelihood, the prices have been rising for a period of time.

The time is ridiculously expensive.

As a daily necessities, the price of vodka has increased to 10,000 rubles per bottle in a period of time.

At that time, the ruble was as worthless as papyrus, and at the same time, because of the skyrocketing prices of these daily necessities, the domestic situation became increasingly severe.

In the end, a civil war that lasted almost ten years broke out. Latvia, which originally had a population of 10 million, went through war and disease. After Doom finally reunified the country, the population was reduced to only 5.

Around one million.

For most countries, this is a mysterious country comparable to North Korea. In many people's perception, Latvia is a dictatorship kingdom that is poorer, more closed, and has a more brutal leader.

In fact, although Latvia was once poor, closed, and technologically backward, with the return of its king, the country also gained the power to shake the world.

Doctor Doom, Victor Doom, is one of the most famous villains in Marvel. It can be said that besides Thanos, Doom is the No. 1 villain in the Marvel universe.

During the Origin of Fear incident, Doom returned successfully and used his unreasonable black technology and magic to completely transform Latveria.

At this moment, Gu Zhongyan was standing at the top of Doum Tower, the capital of Latveria, the highest point of Doum City, overlooking the city.

Outside the city, a series of unique country villas are dotted on the green land.

The red brick walls and black tile roof are occasionally decorated with white stripes, just like a house in a Nordic fairy tale world.

The most eye-catching thing in the city is undoubtedly the huge castle located in the center of the city. This is the center of Latveria and the palace of King Doom, the Castle of Destruction.

The gray main body of the castle does have a daunting feeling, especially when its name is also called destruction.

Doum City, Doum Tower, Doum Railway Station, Doum Castle, Doum Valley, Doum Gorge, Doum...

In Latvia, you can see countless Dooms. Obviously, this extremely narcissistic Doctor of Doom has extended his narcissism to the entire country.

The ubiquitous personality cult makes it impossible for people to feel that this country is a modern country at all. Especially the huge statue of Doom standing in front of the ruined castle makes people wonder whether they have arrived in a medieval feudal country.

In fact, Doom almost changed this country into Doom. He is a complete authoritarian, but Latveria's technological development is actually quite rapid.

There are a few public buildings in Latvia that are not named after Doom.

Among them, there are the Latvian University of Technology, the Latvian Public Library, etc. The software and hardware facilities are amazing and are no different from world-class standards.

In Doom's words, everything in this country was established by him, and he has the right to name it after himself.

But knowledge never belongs to everyone, so schools and libraries cannot be named after him.

This limited dictatorship also makes it difficult to judge whether he is a qualified dictator.

"Is it you? I wonder if the famous Supreme Mage and Temple Guardian came to me to give me any advice?"

Just as Gu Zhongyan was looking at the city of Dum below him, a metallic voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Turning around, Doom, wearing a green cloak and a silver metal mask on his face, was standing not far from him.

Looking at Dumu behind him, Gu Zhongyan's eyes lit up, and a trace of admiration flashed across his face.

Doctor Doom is indeed the number one villain in the Marvel Universe, and his growth rate is astonishingly fast.

In his body, Gu Zhongyan felt a magic power that was close to the peak of the planet level. This kind of strength was worthy of Doctor Strange, who succeeded the Supreme Mage in the Marvel movies. Far from being a master, he was still studying at Karma Taj.

Comparable to the magical Strange.

Moreover, Doctor Doom's power is not only magic, but also controls a large amount of black technology.

Based on this assumption, Doctor Destruction's current ability is probably not enough for a true Heavenly Father like Odin and Gu Zhongyan, but it should not be a big problem against weak Heavenly Fathers like Hela and the awakened Thor.

"Dr. Doom, we are all smart people if we don't tell secret stories, so I won't play tricks with you."

"I came to Latvia this time because I hope Dr. Doom can go to a certain place with me." Gu Zhongyan said bluntly.

Doom raised his eyebrows slightly, showing some interest, "Where?"

Gu Zhongyan calmly uttered two words: "Hell."

Hearing this, Doom's expression under the mask changed slightly, and his gaze towards Gu Zhongyan became cold and unkind.

"Are you investigating me?"

Doom's voice was gloomy and terrifying, but Gu Zhongyan seemed not to notice it and said to himself: "I think Dr. Doom's past is not a secret."

"Besides, didn't Dr. Doom just say that I am the Supreme Mage? Although this statement is not accurate, I do temporarily take the position of the Supreme Mage and control the Eye of Agamotto."

"I think under such circumstances, there shouldn't be much of a problem if you want to know something, right?"

With that said, Gu Zhongyan looked at Doom, because all the other person's emotions were hidden under the mask, and he didn't know what Doom was thinking now.

However, judging from the fluctuations in magic power, the opponent should have no intention of fighting him for the time being.

So Gu Zhongyan continued: "I have no intention of becoming an enemy of Dr. Doom. I came to you this time because my brother accidentally fell into the hell dimension, and I want to bring him back."

"The person who caused all this is none other than my old enemy Mephisto. If I go to the hell dimension, this old bastard will definitely not fail to act."

"It just so happens that Dr. Doom and Mephisto have been old acquaintances for many years. Don't you want to take this opportunity to go to the hell dimension with me?"
