I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 147 Riley: I have everything I need now!

Of course, what Riley didn't know was...

This bold idea, which came to me on a whim after I successfully borrowed the Time Stone, inadvertently coincided with the thought of the Ancient One.

After all, when she was testing Riley's thoughts, the Ancient One had already made similar mental preparations.

If Riley fails her test and chooses to give up halfway and return to her original world.

So, in order to prevent a terrible future from becoming a reality in history.

The Ancient One would use the power of the Time Stone to turn back the world to before Riley was born, in order to erase the impact Riley had on the world.

However, achieving this is certainly not an easy task.

Having lived for so many years, the Ancient One, with her immense and almost inexhaustible magical power, would certainly have no problem using the power of the Time Stone to restart the timeline of the entire universe.

But having only recently begun learning magic and not yet accumulated much magical power, Riley wanted to cast this forbidden spell all by himself?

Even if you squeezed Riley dry, you might not be able to rewind even a few seconds.

Putting aside everything else, the fact that Riley could only reduce the effects of the time loop that covers the entire world to the extreme, turning it into a "resurrection armor" that only works on individuals, is enough to prove the significant gap between Riley and the real Sorcerer Supreme.

Fortunately, when Riley was learning magic from the Ancient One, he tried drinking a basic stamina potion before going to sleep one day.

After further testing, it was successfully proven that during the thirty seconds that the potion took effect, Riley not only had unlimited stamina, but his mana bar also became inexhaustible.

However, upon closer reflection, it makes sense...

Marvel's magic system, although the sources of power are different.

However, most common sorcerers, including the Sorcerer Supreme, draw power from the supreme gods of other dimensions in order to cast all sorts of magical spells.

But Riley is a bit different.

It's unclear whether Riley learned air magic first, which led the supreme gods of other dimensions to recognize him as a mage who had already inherited the skills of other peers.

Or perhaps Riley's soul possesses certain unique characteristics.

Or perhaps it's a concept-level item produced by the system, hiding amazing effects that haven't yet been discovered...

In short, Riley never showed any sign of having to beg for the power of a supreme god from another dimension before he could cast a spell, unlike other apprentices.

Instead, from beginning to end, it was Riley who first used the technique of the air magic to convert his physical strength into magic power.

Then, relying on his own strength, he attempted to cast other spells.

Therefore, it makes perfect sense that Riley could enter the Infinite Power mode while the stamina potion was active.

As for Ned...

Judging from his inability to accurately locate the teleportation portal, let alone open or close it on his own, it's clear that this kid is simply a lucky fool who stumbled upon success a few times by accident; it's not a case of generalization.

Or, to put it more bluntly...

Just like Electro, who clearly didn't know Spider-Man's true identity, was still forcibly transported to this world because of his skin color.

It was entirely due to the screenwriter's consideration of political correctness that Ned, who represents the obese population in the United States, was given a scene forcibly added without any regard for its rationality.

But in any case, it was precisely because of the cheat potion produced by the system that Riley, who held the Time Stone, had the confidence to restart the timeline at any time if he found something was wrong.

That's what emboldened Riley to come into this world and get involved in this mess.

Of course, Riley's initial idea was to drink a medium-level stamina potion. In order to use the five minutes of unlimited mana to complete the earth-shattering feat of restarting the timeline and defying fate.

However, according to Riley's calculations, five minutes was only enough time for Riley to rewind the timeline to the point when Tom Holland sought Strange's help.

This left Riley, who either didn't intervene or strived for a perfect ending, feeling somewhat regretful.

However, the sudden appearance of the Holy Lord unintentionally filled Riley's gaps.

Putting aside other things...

The Dragon Talisman and the Pig Talisman, amplified by the Ox Talisman, can continuously provide Riley with ample magical power.

Furthermore, physical exhaustion, in a sense, can be considered a kind of ailment, which can be eliminated by the Horse Talisman's effect and quickly restore one to peak condition. This serves as a backup energy source to further increase Riley's mana bar.

The Dog Charm can provide Riley with invulnerability and immunity to being targeted at crucial moments, preventing him from being attacked by external forces during spellcasting. This would prevent situations like Strange's, where the spell might fail or even lead to more serious consequences.

The Tiger Talisman, seemingly useless, becomes an indispensable element in the execution of such complex spells. Its ability to balance Yin and Yang ensures that the spell is cast smoothly and steadily.

In other words, as long as you have enough mana, you can cast any spell, no matter how difficult, with a 100% success rate when you have the Tiger Talisman.

Even if we take a step back and combine all these talismans, it still wouldn't be enough to rewind the timeline to a much earlier period.

Riley can also drink a medium-level stamina potion at crucial moments for a final sprint burst!

These incredible advantages, when combined, gave Riley, who always sought stability, the confidence to significantly rewind the current timeline of the universe!

Of course, after Riley has done all this, the group of people who had met by chance will have to return to their respective universes as the timeline rewinds.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, it is highly likely that they will never see each other again.

Therefore, before officially taking action, Riley first used the power of the Time Stone to set up a green barrier that enveloped everyone present.

In order to distinguish the internal and external flow of time, people were given the right to move freely even when the whole world was at a standstill.

He then lowered himself, and as everyone gasped in astonishment at this mind-blowing scene—especially Doctor Octopus, who looked like the scientists in The Three-Body Problem who claimed physics no longer existed, staring blankly and bewildered because they didn't know how to explain what they were seeing with scientific theories—he returned to the group and continued speaking with a smile.

"Alright, everyone, before I take action and end this crisis, this is our last conversation..."

"If you want to say a proper goodbye, or if there's anything else you want to say to your 'old acquaintances,' then don't be shy anymore, hurry up and make the most of it."
