[Western Crossover] A Guide to Growing Hydra

The Red Skull asked his other self, utterly baffled, “You actually led HYDRA in an anti-fascist campaign?”

John: “Mostly, I wanted to fight feudalism. My little brother's too extreme, and I'm scared of him.”

A new story about the brothers playing in the HP and Middle-earth worlds in their next run has begun. It's a wild, self-indulgent idea. The author is busy with work, so updates on both stories will be irregular from now on, but neither will be abandoned.

Synopsis below

Anton opened his eyes to find himself reborn as a foreign baby. The country was suffering from the misery of defeat, exploited by internal enemies and bullied by foreign foes. A single piece of dry bread cost five hundred thousand coins. Then came the great leader who would restore the nation...

A small mound of enemy skulls should help calm me down. Fascism is still too advanced for a feudal mind.

So he joined the army with the sworn big brother he'd met washing dishes, and got to work. Then he followed Teacher Guderian to sweep across Europe.

While he was at it, he infiltrated the most promising organization in the country:

HYDRA

After World War II, the world remembered the mysterious anti-fascist organization HYDRA for its contributions to the war against the Nazis.

Volume Two, bonus scene:

The war had ended, and just as he was about to enjoy a good life, he transmigrated again.

Anton and HYDRA never turned back from their road to world domination.

But John wasn't in this world.

Not smart enough, and with the Insight Project sabotaged by his treacherous adopted son, Captain America, and the others, Anton felt like a failed villain and holed up miserably at a HYDRA base.

Then a certain sorcerer from the future came to see him.

A certain Sorcerer Supreme: “Collect the Infinity Stones and snap your fingers. You can make any wish come true, like returning to your original world.”

Anton: “Where are the Stones?”

Sorcerer: “In the hands of a certain purple potato.”
