I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 223 Laufee, who picks the "easy targets"

Of course, Loki's murderous expression didn't last long.

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Thor's figure slammed into Loki like a cannonball!

Although Thor managed to stop abruptly before the impact, significantly reducing the force of the collision.

But this still caused the delicate and frail "Second Princess" to stagger back several steps and almost fall to the ground!

This made Loki instinctively want to complain about Thor's recklessness and impulsiveness, just like he always did.

But before he could finish speaking, Loki noticed...

In Loki's memory, Thor, who was always fearless, was now trembling and tightly embracing Loki.

Thor was clearly afraid that if he let go, Loki, who had "come back to life," would disappear without a trace, causing him to lose his brother once again!

This filled Loki with mixed feelings, making him even more grateful that he had come to his senses and had not continued to cling to the seemingly high but actually lonely and useless throne, but instead chose his family who truly cared for and loved him.

Then, with a smile, she reached out and hugged Thor's waist tightly, gently patting his back and whispering comforting words.

"...Loki? It really is you! I...I thought...I thought you were already...!"

"It's just a little trick. Don't forget, I learned magic from my mother, the goddess of mischief in Asgard..."

"So don't worry, brother. Just like before, I'll stay by your side and not go anywhere."

And just as the two brothers were having a touching reunion, embracing each other tightly.

Laufey, who was sent flying far away, used that moment to block Thor's hammer attack, at the cost of dislocating one of his arms.

After rolling around on the ground several times and finally managing to regain his footing, Laufey, despite his fury, had no choice but to start thinking about his escape route as the situation changed.

Since Loki didn't die...

So, Loki's claim that Odin entered a state of slumber ahead of time might just be a smokescreen he released to the outside world!

The goal was to lure the Frost Giants' main force to Asgard! Then, after the Frost Giants lost the home advantage of Jotunheim being frozen solid for a year, the Frost Giants would be wiped out in one fell swoop!

Thinking about it this way, Laufey felt a chill run down his spine and dared not stay in Asgard for another second!

However, Riley seemed to have anticipated Laufey's plan to betray his teammates and escape back to Jotunheim alone. Not only did he lead a group of superheroes to withstand the onslaught of hundreds of Frost Giants, but he also personally stood at the palace gates, making it an impregnable fortress!

This made Laufee give up the idea of ​​forcibly breaking out from Riley's clutches after just one glance.

He then began rapidly scanning the battlefield, searching for suitable hostages who might persuade Riley to spare his life.

Banner transformed into the Hulk?

Forget it, this thing can one-punch an ice giant, it's a pure stat monster! Before Laufey can even take it down, Odin will already be charging in!

Whether through magic or symbiotes, Black Jade and Jade, dressed in black Spider-Man suits, fight side by side.

Let's forget about it then. Just by looking at them, it's clear they have a close relationship with Riley.

If they were arrested, forget about Riley letting them go...

Like Thor, who mistakenly believed Loki was dead, Riley was probably furious on the spot, wishing he could tear Laufey to pieces!

Max transformed into pure energy, cheering and excitedly enjoying his first battle.

Are you kidding me! This guy looks like he can even use lightning! He's practically a Thor clone! Not to mention, after transforming into his elemental form, Laufey obviously wouldn't even be able to touch Max!

After much deliberation, Laufey quickly set his sights on Peter.

The reason is simple...

Although Peter's abilities are very similar to Riley's, the design of the upgraded Super Spider-Man suit is significantly different!

This led Laufey, who was used to fighting Asgard and whose perceptions were already fixed, to assume that the two Jade girls were Riley's "confidantes"!

Peter, although he also seems to have a significant connection, is definitely one or two levels less important!

As for Harry and Gwen, who were also wearing Spider-Man suits?

The former, now riding a hang glider, has transformed into a demolition genius, showcasing the art of explosions to the fullest, showing absolutely no connection to Spider-Man.

The latter, in terms of appearance, looks even more different from Riley's!

Laufee naturally assumed that these two were less important to Riley than Peter!

Thinking about it this way, Peter became the perfect soft target in Laufey's mind—someone important enough to warrant serious consideration but not enough to completely enrage Riley, leaving room for negotiation!

That's why, after identifying his target, Laufey simply twisted his arm roughly and, with his powerful self-healing ability, reattached the dislocated arm.

Then, with a sinister grin, he took advantage of the moment when Peter had just kicked down a frost giant and then fallen to the ground himself, and suddenly launched an attack, heading straight for Peter!

"I knew I'd been fooled..."

If it were anyone else, being "specially cared for" by Laufey like this, they might really suffer in silence.

But Peter, as the real Spider-Man, had honed his spider-sense to an increasingly keen level through countless crises. He had already sensed Laufey's ill intentions the moment Laufey locked his gaze on him!

Including the self-sacrifice kick he just used, it was a deliberate opening Peter created to draw Laufey's attention to himself and prevent Laufey from attacking Harry or Gwen!

Seeing that Laufey had fallen for the trap, Peter, who had already prepared a countermeasure, quickly launched two spider webs, which stuck to the floor in the distance.

After tightening the spider silk, he taut his legs and pushed off forcefully.

So that before Laufey could attack, he could release his grip on the spider silk and launch himself out like an angry bird!

In this way, Peter not only negated the stiffness and sway of the self-sacrifice kick, but also took the initiative to launch an attack on Laufey!

Of course, as the king of the Frost Giants, Peter in this timeline is clearly no match for Laufey.

Therefore, even when Laufey saw Peter take the initiative, he was only slightly taken aback, and instead of being angry, he was pleased.

He raised his hand and fired a cloud of ice mist, intending to freeze Peter, who had come to him willingly, into an ice sculpture!
