I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 148 The Three Spiders' Collective Breakdown: Peter, you deserve to die!!!

Of course, while speaking, Riley didn't forget to use the magic of the Horse Charm to help everyone recover from their injuries and fatigue after a great battle.

Therefore, Tom Holland, who had been battered and bruised and barely alive after his battle with the Green Goblin, couldn't help but have his eyes light up and sincerely praise Riley after personally experiencing the miraculous effect of his injuries healing in less than a second.

"Wow! You can even do that? I had thought you might be the strongest 'Peter Parker' among us, but I didn't expect you to be this strong! Hey, does that mean in your universe, you're not only Spider-Man, but also the Sorcerer Supreme?"

Incidentally, because of his earlier outburst, Tom Holland, who only reunited with everyone thanks to Riley's teleportation portal, clearly missed Riley's self-introduction.

Therefore, until now, Tom Holland has taken it for granted that Riley, like Toby and Garfield, is simply a "Peter Parker" from a parallel universe.

"Hey, my back doesn't hurt at all anymore...! This feels amazing! My body has never felt so good before! Thanks, bro!"

Meanwhile, after playing Spider-Man for so long, the constant swinging on his webs and his increasing age have caused his back to ache from time to time due to the high-intensity load he puts on every day, which has become a common problem for almost all Spider-Men.

So, when the magic of the Horse Charm took effect, sweeping away all the ailments in their bodies and restoring them to their perfect peak condition, Toby and Garfield both had shining eyes, feeling as if they had regained their youth, and pounded their backs in disbelief.

The older brother, Toby Holland, couldn't help but chime in, also expressing his gratitude for Riley's help.

"Brothers... I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me, but I've always wanted to have a brother like you."

Seeing everyone enjoying themselves so much, Garfield, knowing he would be all alone again after they parted, couldn't help but become sentimental.

As she lifted her hand to take off the headgear to get some fresh air, she half-jokingly and half-seriously complained, her expression filled with longing and anticipation.

"I really wish that in some parallel universe, 'Peter Parker' could have a brother who is also Spider-Man. That way, someone could teach him what to do and lend a helping hand when he's in trouble. Instead of going through so many detours and making so many wrong choices like we have... But unfortunately, based on the information we've gathered so far, 'Peter Parker' is forever filled with tragedy."

"Uh... actually, the universe you're talking about already exists."

The moment Garfield finished speaking, someone mistakenly thought that Garfield was Peter, as the name suggests, lamenting the many hardships Peter Parker had endured, and suddenly became interested.

He spoke cautiously, drawing everyone's attention.

Seeing that Riley had guessed what was going on, he removed his mask, revealing his true face to Tom Holland and the others for the first time. He then smiled and nodded to Peter in encouragement.

With his confidence instantly restored, Peter once again displayed his talkative side. As if reciting a familiar story, he began to introduce Riley to everyone, as well as himself, "Peter Parker," and just how well he was living.

"Please allow me to formally introduce you. This is my cousin, Riley Parker, the son of Uncle Ben and Aunt May. It was with his help that I became Spider-Man."

"Oh, and Gwen and Harry, you see, they're all alive and well, and neither of them has ever become a villain or turned against me. They're all my good teammates as Spider-Man."

"Besides all that, in my universe, Uncle Ben is still alive and well, and Uncle Norman didn't become the Green Goblin. Dr. Connors and Dr. Otto are also good people who are on our side."

"And with Riley's help, Dr. Connors was able to regenerate his limbs and have two complete arms without having to transform into a lizard man."

"Dr. Otto abandoned the artificial sun project after being reminded by Riley, and continued his research on new energy sources with the help of his wife."

"Look, this suit is a gift from those two doctors as a thank you gift. It's an upgraded and modified version of the suit that Riley made himself."

"By the way, before I arrived in this universe, the two of them had already joined forces to conduct research on improving and optimizing the complete formula of the Super Soldier Serum."

"And our Spider-Team has recently been officially recognized. So the police won't arrest us during operations, and J. Jonah Jameson is no longer constantly promoting his 'Spider-Man is harmful' theory. Everything is moving in a good direction."

"Oh, and also, we get along quite well with the Hulk, and the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, is very welcoming of us as guests. Also... wait, why are you all looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"

"No, of course you didn't say anything wrong, but please allow me to ask... If I heard correctly, you just said that you not only have a powerful and reliable all-around brother who will personally make your nanosuit, but your Uncle Ben is still alive, and even the formidable enemy who should have given you a hard time has become your ally. You even convinced that stubborn old man J. Jonah Jameson to reconcile with you...?"

"Ah...yes, wh...what happened...?"

"You're asking us what's wrong?!"

However, as they talked, Peter gradually realized that the way others looked at him had changed from the initial kindness to something else entirely.

As they twitched their lips in mocking remarks, they all simultaneously contorted their faces, staring intently at Peter with an expression of envious resentment that seemed to say, "You deserve to die!"

After all, the mere fact that Uncle Ben was still alive was enough to break the defenses of all three Spiders at the same time!

Not to mention, the experiences Peter mentioned, which actually happened in his parallel universe, were things that the Spider-Men, who had suffered so much from the world's malice, could never even dream of!

The bond between boys is often one of mutual fear: they both fear their brother will suffer hardship and fear their brother will drive a Land Rover!

So much so that looking at Peter, who was getting more and more excited as he talked, no matter how you looked at him, he seemed to be showing off in Versailles.

Three Spiders were so envious! They practically ground their back teeth to powder!

Even Dr. Connors and Doctor Octopus, who are in this Marvel Cinematic Universe, were in a state of utter envy when they heard that their counterparts in Peter's universe were living such happy and wonderful lives!

Yes, no doubt about it, as long as Peter doesn't have Riley standing by his side to back him up...

As the crowd gradually loses control of their emotions, they might not be able to resist rushing forward to "pamper" Peter!

"To be honest, I'm starting to reasonably suspect that, rather than letting everyone say a proper goodbye... you actually created this barrier by deliberately expending extra mana to witness this scene firsthand."

Meanwhile, Strange, who had already seen through everything, walked silently to Riley's side.

Then, watching Riley, who had finally witnessed the iconic scene of the three Spiders collectively breaking down, and who seemed to be possessed by the Kamen Rider crew's raucous chatter, revealing the same amused smile as the "That's right! This is exactly what I wanted to see!"

Strange tried hard to suppress his laughter, but he made a serious joke.

"How could that be? Do I look like the kind of person who can't tell what's important? I was doing all this for everyone's good. You're slandering my pure motives like this; I might sue you for defamation!"

Seeing that Strange had exposed his little scheme, Riley righteously retorted, but still didn't forget to check his symbiote suit. He confirmed that the body camera system, which he had deliberately kept before lending the nanotech suit to Gwen and integrated with the symbiote suit, was still running quietly, recording this once-in-a-lifetime moment for him to review repeatedly in the future.

After a brief pause, Riley seemed to remember something, turned around curiously, and asked Strange.

"But seriously, since we're about to part ways, I do have a question I'd like to ask you now..."

"When you were fighting Thanos who traveled from another timeline, what did that finger you raised at Tony mean? Were you trying to tell him that this was the only chance of victory you saw among all the possible endings?"
