Victor von Doom.

The current ruler of Latvinia, a small Eastern European country, is a feudal king and a cruel and ruthless reformer. It is said that he is also a just and strict His Majesty.

After he took over the national domination of Latvinia until now, in a few years, the small Eastern European country, which was originally closed and backward and had a population of only more than 500,000, has quickly become open and rich.

According to information from the European branch of SHIELD, the mysterious iron-fisted king set up high-tech factories controlled by several countries in Latvinia, producing various highly technological commodities. By exporting them to several surrounding countries, he received generous returns in just a few years.

But Dum did not put this wealth into his warehouse like the previous royal family in Latvinia. On the contrary, he used this wealth to improve the country's infrastructure and invested in more livelihood projects, so that the country's originally poor economy would soon improve.

Of course, it is also because Latvinia is a micro country that it has become earth-shaking within a few years, but this also proves the mysterious Lord Dum's super power. He almost changed his motherland with his own strength.

This made King Dum have a very high reputation in Latvinia and almost became the "saint" in the minds of the people of that country.

Of course, Merlin also knows more about the ruler, for example, he was a college classmate of Reed and Susan, such as his mother being a gypsy witch, and his mother's soul fell into the hands of the great devil Mephist.

For example, Dum always wears a mask, not just to create mystery, but more because he was ruined in an experiment when he was young, etc.

"Come out, uninvited guests."

In the laboratory on the top floor of Baxter Building, Merlin shouted to the empty corner. He pulled out his wand from his waist and shook it in the air. By the way, the rituals between wizards, he said:

"Do I need to arrange a special appearance ceremony for you? His Majesty Dum."

“No, no need.”

A slightly low voice rang out in the open laboratory, and with the magic of obscurity being removed, Victor von Doum appeared in front of Merlin.

He wore a green hood and a medieval style battle robe. Below the robe was a silver steel armor that covered almost every inch of Dum's skin. Under his green hood, he wore a slightly weird metal mask, leaving holes in his eyes and a movable mouth, and a nose bridge shaped like a battle helmet.

It looks a bit weird, just like a person who is immersed in role-playing.

But this is just a manifestation.

In Merlin's eyes, the magic halo around Dum was extremely dazzling, and it had already exceeded the level of magic that a formal wizard should have. This guy was obviously a great wizard, but he just didn't know that Dum was good at that aspect of magic, or perhaps he was a versatile talent who was proficient in all magic?

Moreover, even his seemingly ordinary armor was actually not ordinary at all. On the metal discs that looked like decorations on the left and right sides of the armor, there was a huge amount of energy flowing. Although the shapes were not consistent, Dumm's armor still reminded Merlin of Tony Stark's super mark.

Although compared to the super Mark with a very technological style, Dumm's armor looks a bit too simple.

"Victor von Doom."

The moment Dum appeared, he waved his left hand, touched it lightly in his chest, leaning over to Merlin, and he whispered:

"Salute to you, Lord Merlin, the great wizard."

"Same tribute to you, the great wizard, Lord Dum."

Merlin also made a similar etiquette, which is the respect the wizards deserve to be respectful to powerful spellcasters. Because they are all walking on the path of magic, they are very clear about how much energy it takes for both sides to reach this step.

Just the two parties' persistence and dedication to magic is worthy of admiration.

"So, Your Majesty Dum, are you here from all the way to see your old friend Reed?"

Merlin asked very bluntly:

"Or, when this smart man is unable to resist, he should mock him and teach him a lesson?"

"I didn't come for Reed."

Under Dum's iron mask, there was a restrained light in his eyes, and he replied:

"My Reed can't talk about any grudges. Maybe he told you about what happened between me and him, but that's not worth remembering. I was too reckless when I was young and made mistakes. That was the punishment I deserved, and it had nothing to do with others."

"So, are you here for Ms. Susan?"

Merlin glanced at Susan Stone, who was constantly fading away and reappearing in the biocabin, and said to Doom:

"For your lover?"

“Once upon a time.”

Dum stepped forward, Merlin did not stop him from approaching Susan's creature cabin. Dum's magic was incredible, which proved that he was not ready to do something too much.

Under Merlin's gaze, the iron-faced man stood in front of the creature cabin. He quietly looked at Susan in the creature cabin in the pain. He stretched out his iron armored hand and touched the surface of the creature cabin, as if he was touching Susan's cheek.

"Do you know what's going on with this mysterious energy in them?"

Merlin said:

"I've tested it with magic, and it's not in the category of magic. My friends tried to suppress them with the power of technology, but unfortunately, they tried several methods, but they also had no effect."

"Of course, I know."

Dumm retracted his finger and looked at the other three creature compartments, he said:

"A sudden solar storm will trigger an explosion of cosmic rays. In most cases, the energy attached to these rays will dissipate among stars. Even if they enter the earth, most of the atmosphere will be consumed. The rest are not enough to affect the human body. But if the human body is directly exposed to the mysterious cosmic rays, it will cause a series of uncontrollable consequences."

"If alienation, or simply disappears directly, the human body is too fragile, and it is difficult to survive in that high-energy environment."

"But they are lucky that those energies blend into their bodies in unknown ways and change their life forms."

Dum looked at Reed, who had already formed a group of meat balls. He shook his head. Seeing Ben, whose whole body had turned into a rocky structure, Dum let out another hum of unknown significance. Finally, it was Jonathan who was burning, and Dum even sneered at it.

"This is an unknown field, and it represents unknown knowledge, whether for magic or technology."

Dumm looked back at Merlin and said:

"So in the face of this super power out of control, magic and technology, a simple force cannot be solved."

"Depending on your confidence, Lord Dum, I guess, can you help them?"

Merlin said:

"You actually came to help them, right?"

"I'm wearing a mask, Lord Merlin, how do you see that I'm full of confidence?"

Dum asked a tricky question, leaving Merlin speechless, but then he let out a few more low laughs, saying:

"To solve this problem that has almost never happened, a more reasonable method must be used. Technology and magic have limitations, but if the two are combined into one, a new path will appear before you..."

"Yes, Lord Merlin, I came to help them, but it was not because I had good intentions, but because I had old age with Susan...that's all."

"Is it love?"

Merlin blinked and asked:

"You still love this lady? I heard that you pursued her in college?"

"Only children talk about love all day long. Are you a child? Mr. Merlin."

Dum flashed, and came to the operating table of the laboratory like a teleportation. His fingers were typing on the keyboard. After a few seconds, he took control of the laboratory equipment from Icarus.

He started several experimental equipment and said:

"I originally planned not to disturb anyone and do this alone, but another great wizard was here to avoid my complicated work. Mr. Merlin, I need your help, or ask you to leave now, what I want to do next will be a bit risky... After all, I am not sure about this unknown thing."

Dum is worthy of being a king. After entering the laboratory, he quietly took the initiative. There is a power in his heavy voice that makes people convince. This does not originate from magic or power, but perhaps more of the personality charm that people often call.

But this guy is also a person with a strong desire to control. He likes to give others tough choices instead of asking others to make choices.

But Merlin was not angry. On the contrary, he seemed very interested in what Dum had to do next.

"What do you need me to do?"

Merlin asked with a wand in his hand.

Dum said without raising his head:

"I will use the equipment behind in this laboratory to extract the huge and bloated energy from the four people's bodies..."

“It can’t be done!”

Merlin shook her head and said:

"We have tried that energy will become violent once it leaves the bodies of the four of them and cannot be stored in aggregate form. If it is to be released, it will explode immediately, with a power far exceeding the same level of bomb."

"You can't do it!"

Dum interrupted Merlin, he raised his head and looked at Merlin:

"Are you distracted when I was talking just now? My Excellency Merlin, I said that to solve the problem, you have to combine magic and technology... In addition, it is impolite to interrupt others' words. Haven't your magic tutor taught you basic etiquette?"

"Sorry, but I'm self-taught."

Merlin shrugged:

"That's how we don't know etiquette speak. If you offend you, your Majesty, please forgive me."

“…”

Dum looked at Merlin, he did not continue to scold him, he said:

"You should know that in the category of traditional magic, there is a theory that any energy can be converted into magic and used as long as you find the right way."

"So, after I extracted the energy, I need you to take that energy, convert it into pure magic, and then use the simile spell to make them into magical gems."

"Um."

Merlin nodded, and he frowned and said:

“I have two questions.”

"explain."
