I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 155 The Avengers: No Comparison, No Harm

After the incident in Times Square, Max, though timid, has a rich inner life and regains his confidence with Riley's support. As he gradually accepts his new image, he realizes that the change in others' attitudes stems entirely from Spider-Man, and he feels immense gratitude towards Riley.

So when Riley extended an olive branch to Max, asking whether he wanted to return to being a normal person or retain his current powers, join Section 13, and become Spider-Man's teammate, Max, whose goodwill towards Riley was already at its peak and who almost blindly followed Riley's lead, chose the second path without hesitation.

Fortunately, while Riley was often ruthless in his schemes against the enemy, leaving them nothing but his underwear, he was quite generous when it came to his own people.

Therefore, Max joining District 13 wasn't just Riley unilaterally deceiving this honest man and luring him into a "den of thieves." Rather, it was a truly life-changing opportunity for immense wealth.

For example, do you remember when Riley was in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he remained invisible and took the arc reactor off another Max?

Relying on the debt of gratitude for saving Tony's life after the time reversal, Riley didn't hold back at all and brought the Arc Reactor back to Otto in District 13.

In this way, we have the latest version of the arc reactor as a design reference, and new elements that can provide a continuous source of power.

Otto, a genius who had devoted most of his life to energy research, was overjoyed. He felt even greater admiration and respect for Riley, who had so easily obtained such highly classified information. He lived up to Riley's expectations, quickly building a reactor with his own unique style. This reactor powered the entire District 13, further ensuring its independence.

Riley was also able to use this as a basis to hand over the suppressor design that had successfully suppressed Max and turned him back into a normal human to Dr. Otto, in order to request Otto's help in creating a suit of armor specifically for Max.

This ensures that Max no longer needs to steal electricity and can always maintain peak combat power under the power of the reactor.

Furthermore, thanks to the presence of the suppressor, Max can adjust the power output according to his individual needs.

So that when there is no need to fight, Max can appear as an ordinary person and retain the good rights that belong to ordinary people, such as enjoying delicious food.

Of course, in Riley's view, the essence of this suit is the same as the spider silk auxiliary system he deliberately added when creating the nanosuit. Both are simply to help users who haven't fully mastered their powers adapt to them more efficiently, rather than causing them to revert to their original form and become useless once they remove the suit.

Therefore, Riley's inherent mastery of bioelectricity, and the fact that gamma radiation can be considered a form of energy in a sense, allowed both Riley and Banner to use their own discovered tricks to help Max more quickly master his newfound power.

When Max truly masters his abilities and becomes a qualified superhero, and can precisely control his power output even without wearing the suit...

Riley would seek Dr. Otto's help to rework and upgrade the suit, which now contained more suppressor properties, into a true "suit" designed to enhance Max's combat effectiveness.

Besides the various privileges Max himself enjoyed...

Because the kind-hearted Sheriff Black feared that while these superheroes were fighting desperately on the front lines, their families might be in danger, leading to the heroes turning into villains, he enacted a series of new regulations. As a result, Section 13's ability to protect its rear guard has been continuously enhanced over time, to the point of being almost heartbreakingly adept.

With Max joining the group, Sheriff Black quickly sent someone to Max's home to bring his seriously ill mother to District 13. In addition to preparing new accommodations for the mother and son, he provided Max's mother with the best possible environment for recuperation.

Of course, with the resources that District 13 currently has, it is entirely possible to try using the healing serum to create a special medicine for Max's mother.

However, considering that this mean-spirited old woman would relentlessly berate and attack Max even when facing her own son, showing no kindness whatsoever.

Therefore, to prevent the old woman from making a big fuss everywhere after she recovers, causing trouble for District 13, or even spreading the news about the location of District 13.

Even Riley, who always treated those around him well, had to personally intervene to dissuade Sheriff Black from using the healing serum, allowing the old woman to continue to rest in bed.

Even at the beginning, he didn't mention the existence of "District 13" to the old woman. He only said that his son Max was lucky, won the lottery, and had a filial heart, so he brought her to a "private hospital" for treatment.

In this way, the risk of District 13's location being leaked is eliminated, and Max's image in his mother's eyes can be improved somewhat.

So much so that when Max learned the truth, he didn't, like in those melodramatic scenes in American TV shows, blame Riley for holding back and try to morally blackmail her.

Rather, she understood that, while considering the bigger picture, Riley was already doing his best to treat his mother well.

Compared to the beginning, when my mother could only passively and desperately wait to die in her rented, dilapidated room with an oxygen tube, this was infinitely better!

This made Max even more grateful to Riley, and with the help of District 13, he had no more worries. He could then devote all his energy to the cause of superheroes.

The superheroes and the secret organization truly work together, sharing joys and sorrows. They understand and empathize with each other's difficulties, creating a harmonious and loving relationship…

If the Avengers from a parallel universe saw this, how interesting would their expressions be?

Of course, as mentioned before.

Due to the influence of the dark energy, the members of the Mafia were collectively strengthened. This meant that Uncle Jackie, who was already struggling to deal with Tru, would clearly find it difficult to withstand the combined attack of the new Mafia trio.

So, just when Riley had successfully subdued Max and become a new member of District 13, thinking he could finally relax and get some rest, he received a call from his father informing him of the whereabouts of a new charm.

This made Riley sigh that he was destined to be busy, and he couldn't even lie down and relax for a while.

Then, while taking out the Horse Talisman from the system's storage space to restore his mind and body to their best state before putting it back, he called home, saying he was going to tutor Harry and might not be home that night, and told them not to wait for him.

After making thorough preparations, he finally caught up with Uncle Long and embarked on a new adventure.

As for Xiaoyu?

Oh, of course she really wanted to go with them.

Unfortunately, the teacher assigned a lot of homework this week. And Riley had just promised Jade at the museum that he would take her to the deer park if she finished her homework.

So, Xiaoyu, who is usually restless, actually sat down at the table for the first time ever. Despite her father's nagging and her instinct to get sleepy whenever she saw homework, she diligently wrote her notes.

Just so that when the weekend comes, I can go to the Deer Park that I've been longing to visit for so long and have a great time!
