I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 139 The Real Final Boss Arrives

Of course, the reason they were defeated so quickly was definitely not because they actually encountered a supernatural event.

Beneath the seemingly solitary and deceptively lonely appearance of Tom Holland, there are actually four Spider-Men with the ability to become invisible hiding near the Statue of Liberty.

That is, the Spider Team trio, and Riley, who holds the Snake Talisman.

In addition, while in stealth mode, in order to avoid the noise of launching spider silk, which would alert them.

Riley then took out the Chicken Talisman and the Rabbit Talisman, and together they demonstrated the ability to fly at high speed for the first time.

This is why Electro and Sandman, who were busy showing off after their appearance, didn't even have time to react before Riley, who had no sense of martial ethics, easily took them down with a first-meeting kill!

Otherwise, what if they become prepared?

Even if Riley, the numerical monster, goes all out, he will still have a lot of trouble facing these two mechanical monsters that can "elementalize".

Of course, even though the two had been defeated, Riley had no intention of showing up to explain the reasons for their defeat.

After all, in Riley's view...

What if, by some twist of fate, we encounter them again? And knowing Riley's methods, they become wary, remaining in their elemental state and refusing to reveal their true forms, thus giving Riley no chance to deal with them? That would be a huge problem.

It would be better to let the two of them torment their brain cells with a belly full of questions, feeling humiliated and resentful.

Once they've reached utter despair and begun to question the meaning of life, then the hidden Garfield and Toby bugs will appear, becoming their last pillar of support. This will ensure that the two mentally broken individuals, comforted by their former adversaries, stay put and wait for the crisis to end.

Thus, the Lizard Man, the Lightning Man, and the Sand Man were captured one after another.

Doctor Octopus, now free from the tentacles and having had the suppression chip reinstalled, is an ally of Spider-Man.

Therefore, all that matters now is dealing with the only supervillain left: the Green Goblin, Norman Osborn.

Seven Spider-Men against one Green Goblin – the advantage is on my side!

Riley couldn't even imagine how he could lose a game where he had such a winning advantage!

There's absolutely no way we can lose!

Professionals are those who dare to make judgments!

Unfortunately, Riley, who was covered in flags, didn't realize...

Generally speaking, barring any unforeseen circumstances, a win is practically guaranteed...

That means an accident is about to happen.

Look, here it is.

"Uh... Spider-Man, are you busy?"

"That voice... Mr. Strange? What happened?"

Just as Riley casually tossed the Arc Reactor he had acquired into the system's storage space, freeing his hands to prepare to give the Green Goblin a "Spider-Man" stat shock, Strange's voice echoed in Riley's mind.

Then, as Riley responded, the air distorted, and Strange's figure appeared as a projection in front of Riley.

However, the Strange who appeared now no longer had the same spirited demeanor he had when they parted ways.

Instead, she pursed her lips and rubbed her hands together, looking quite embarrassed.

"Oh, it's nothing, just some good news and some bad news."

"...Let me guess. The good news is, you stopped the vast majority of the intruders. The bad news is, some still slipped through the net and entered this universe?"

"Ahem, almost, very close... In my observation, besides a few small fish, there is also a powerful demon who knows the true identity of 'Peter Parker', who has also invaded this world and is heading towards you. He will be here soon."

"A demon? Could it be Mephisto...? How fast is 'soon'?"

"Well, how should I put it... right now."

Almost the instant Strange finished speaking, Riley's spider-sense went into overdrive.

This made Riley forget about complaining that Strange's reminder was too "timely," and he hurriedly activated the Rabbit Talisman, instantly leaving the spot.

The instant Riley left, a massive figure descended from the sky, effortlessly creating a bottomless crater!

Even so, Riley's spider sense showed no signs of abating.

Before Riley could even catch his breath and figure out what had happened...

The spider-sense's renewed warning prompted Riley to throw a punch almost instinctively after a brief moment of charging.

The next second, Riley felt as if he had crashed into a mountain in the supposedly empty night sky. Even with the blessing of the Ox Talisman, his punch couldn't advance an inch!

This startled Riley, and a bad feeling crept into his mind.

After a period of integration with the suit, the symbiote, which replicated most of the functions except for artificial intelligence, was quickly activated to enable thermal imaging.

The next second, the enemy, which suddenly attacked, revealed its true form under thermal imaging scanning.

Even Riley, who was always confident, couldn't help but gasp.

Because at this very moment, the one who launched the attack on Riley was none other than the Holy Lord, who had been fully resurrected after obtaining the twelve talismans!

Or, to be more precise, it comes from what the Ancient One showed Riley when they first met: the death of Riley, Peter, and Tru, and Jade's transformation into the Queen of the Shadows, the Shendu of that tragic parallel universe!

Because even Riley's own universe's Holy Lord hasn't been able to obtain a single talisman; it's still hanging on the wall as a decoration!

Okay, okay, is this how you play it...?

Riley had been wondering about this for a while. No matter how great the effects of the Oblivion Curse were, the Ancient One, as the Sorcerer Supreme, who was still alive at this moment, should have had a way to counteract the side effects that were transmitted from other universes.

Even Strange and Tom Holland, if they regained their senses and shed their "idiocy aura," could easily handle these villains. They could fix the mess they've created before things escalate further.

Even so, the Ancient One still chose to use Peter to create a nest, semi-forcefully demanding that Riley participate!

At first, Riley thought that the Ancient One was being overly cautious and trying to play it safe, making a mountain out of a molehill.

Now, seeing the appearance of the Holy Lord, Riley finally understood everything!

Clearly, Gu had foreseen this unexpected incident where the Holy Lord from a parallel universe would take the opportunity to invade the Marvel Universe!

So the final boss wasn't Green Goblin, it was Shendu!

Did I get Jackie Chan's script?!

"call--!"

Just as Riley was lost in thought, figuring out the cause and effect, and secretly cursing the Supreme Boiled Egg for being so heartless.

Seeing that a pure contest of strength wouldn't be enough to defeat him in a short time, Riley, who also possessed the Ox Talisman, had system attributes, Spider-Man's strength, and the symbiote's physical enhancement—a triple buff.

While in stealth mode, Shendu decisively opened his mouth. With flames churning in his throat, he unleashed the power of the Dragon Talisman, charging straight at Riley with a devastating attack!

What's worse, if it were just a matter of spewing flames, Riley could easily dodge the attack with his skills.

However, now that the Holy Lord has everything he needs, he won't talk to Riley about martial virtues.

While taking action, Shendu also activated the power of the Chicken Talisman, firmly binding Riley!

By the time Riley activated the power of the Chicken Talisman to fight against Shendu and regain his freedom of action, he had already missed the best opportunity to dodge.

He could only watch helplessly as the flames spewed by the Holy Lord completely engulfed him.

Even someone as strong as Riley couldn't withstand more than a few rounds against the fully resurrected Holy Lord with all twelve talismans gathered. In the scorching heat, he instantly turned to ashes and vanished into the world, leaving not even a trace behind!
