I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 194: Everyone Disqualified?

Amidst the curious or encouraging glances from those around him, Harry, now the center of attention, slowly placed his hands on the hammer handle. Then, straightening his back, leaning back slightly, and straining with all his might, he tried to shake the artifact before him.

"Ugh...! Heh...! Ah! Damn it, I give up... It wasn't that easy to lift after all... Maybe when I get back to District 13, I should ask the doctor for help to see if I can further increase the exoskeleton's strength stats?"

Unfortunately……

Although, thanks to Riley's intervention, Harry will no longer become the Green Goblin and is now a member of the Spider-Man team.

But Harry is essentially an ordinary person. He doesn't have Captain America's strong and pure heart, nor does he possess the Hulk's terrifying brute strength.

Harry kept trying until even his suit was overloaded and an alarm popped up on his eyepatch, at which point he reluctantly let go. He grumbled and complained, a hint of resentment in his voice.

Riley: "Don't worry, Harry, this is normal. After all, if anyone could lift this hammer, S.H.I.E.L.D. would have taken it long ago, before we even got here... So, who's next?"

Fortunately, Riley had already told them before they came.

Only those of noble character, filled with justice and kindness, akin to saints, can gain the approval of Mjolnir and lift it, thus acquiring the power of Thor.

So, instead of laughing at Harry for the result, everyone patted him on the shoulder and took turns trying it out as a special little game.

Then, unsurprisingly, Gwen and Max were eliminated one after another.

Even when he was in a playful mood, greeted Banner, and transformed into the Hulk, he tried his best to pull it up, but even with both feet sinking into the ground, he still couldn't lift Thor's hammer.

Hulk was so angry that he stomped his feet repeatedly, just like a child who had lost a game and turned red on the spot.

If Riley hadn't been there to watch and immediately step in to calm him down, Hulk, whose anger was escalating, would probably have smashed that broken hammer to pieces!

As his emotions gradually calmed down, he returned control of his body to Banner.

Because they were the same person, Banner could fully sense the terrifying force Hulk used when pulling the hammer, making him, as a physicist, even more curious about the hammer in front of him.

As they wandered around, taking in the sights, they couldn't help but marvel at it.

"Hmm, interesting... It doesn't look very big, but its weight is quite astonishing. Why isn't the stone underneath it crushed into powder by that weight? Hmm, worth investigating..."

"Dr. Banner, we can talk about research later. Now it's my turn to play!"

Unfortunately, this makeshift camp was clearly not equipped with any high-tech instruments for Dr. Banner to conduct on-site research.

Left with no other choice, he could only shrug and, urged by Xiaoyu, take a step back and rejoin the group.

Then, Xiaoyu, wearing the symbiote battle suit and feeling incredibly powerful, stepped forward with great enthusiasm to begin a new round of attempts.

"Watch how awesome my T-girl is! Hey ya...!"

However, even though Tama is the reincarnation of a Saint Seiya and is favored by both dark and righteous forces, she can be considered the chosen one of this world.

In the original story, he led his team to turn the tide of battle on several occasions, even in dire straits!

However, at this point, Xiaoyu is still just an immature child who has not fully grown up.

Her mischievousness and pranks have caused Uncle Long and Riley no shortage of headaches.

Not to mention that in the original story, there were several crises caused by Xiaoyu's selfishness.

This includes the near-time paradox crisis that occurred just yesterday when Xiaoyu stole the rabbit talisman.

Even though he admired Xiaoyu's righteousness, he was inclined to favor his own child.

It can be done when there are insufficient hard conditions and there is indeed a criminal record.

In the end, even with his integrity, he couldn't bring himself to lower himself and, against his conscience, try to deceive the fair and just Meow Hammer.

This meant that no matter how Xiaoyu tried, she, like everyone else, couldn't budge the Meow Hammer at all.

Even Hei Xiaoyu, who was originally also eager to try, decisively gave up the idea of ​​going forward to try after witnessing Xiaoyu's failure.

As a result, among everyone present, only Peter and Riley had not yet had a chance to try it.

"Hmm, looks like it's just the two of us left... Peter, who goes first, you or me?"

"Uh...you go first, Riley, I'm not ready yet."

"Alright then, I won't stand on ceremony."

And that's why, with everyone eager for a good show, they all watched with bated breath, waiting for the Parker brothers to join their ranks of "losers."

Witnessing his companions' repeated failures had severely eroded Peter's confidence, causing him to back down at this crucial moment. Adopting a strategy of stalling for as long as possible, he habitually hid behind Riley.

In contrast, Riley, as a contemporary Jia Xu, had a very clear understanding of his own dark side.

So from the very beginning, Riley didn't believe he was qualified to lift Thor's hammer.

Without any expectations, driven purely by the desire to fit in and join in the fun, Riley simply shrugged and leisurely walked forward, placing his hand on the hammer handle.

The next second, Riley raised his eyebrows slightly, and his movements paused and stiffened for a brief moment.

But soon, in full view of everyone, Riley used both hands and, accompanied by a muffled groan of exertion, struck a pose as if he were giving it his all.

Despite repeated attempts, he still couldn't lift Thor's hammer.

Riley then released his grip, preparing to turn and call for Peter to try, in order to determine whether Peter at this stage was qualified to lift Thor's hammer, like Spider-Man in the comics.

"I apologize for interrupting your enjoyment, sir... but just now, someone broke through the west fence and knocked down the agent I sent to investigate. Should we send more men to thoroughly investigate this intruder, or are you planning to handle this yourself...?"

But at this critical moment, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the camp.

Sitwell, who had left earlier, also returned to Riley's side with a furrowed brow and a serious expression, explaining the unexpected situation to Riley.

After all, Riley currently holds the highest command authority in this camp, thanks to Coulson's instructions.

Therefore, to avoid leaving any evidence that could expose his identity as a Hydra agent, Sitwell had to follow the rules and regulations and seek orders from Riley for the next steps.
