I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 230 Another Time Loop

"Enough! I told you, kill him... Ugh—!!!"

Of course, the back-and-forth tugging between the two Hei Xiaoyus is not the focus this time.

The key point is that, thanks to the delay caused by his own Black Jade, Riley, as if taking a leisurely stroll, strode forward and quickly arrived at the side of Black Jade in this timeline.

Then, as Hei Xiaoyu, in a fit of rage, instinctively opened her mouth to give an order, he swiftly reached out and pinched Hei Xiaoyu's chin, forcing her to keep her mouth open.

While taking out the high-grade life potion he had won in the lottery from his storage space, he ignored Hei Xiaoyu's desperate struggles and poured the emerald green liquid full of life into Hei Xiaoyu's mouth.

Once the liquid in the bottle was finished, the conceptual-level purification effect began to take effect. Hei Xiaoyu, who had collapsed to the ground with her eyes rolled back as Riley released her, looking like she had been played with, suddenly sprang to her feet like a zombie.

"Uh, where am I... Wait, Riley? You're back! That's great! I knew it, even if superheroes die, they'll eventually come back to life! Just like Super Moose—!!!"

As the original grayish-black skin quickly returned to its normal flesh color.

Black Jade No. 2's eyes also gradually became clearer, changing from being full of blood red at first.

Until he blinked and finally saw clearly who was standing in front of him.

Upon regaining her self-awareness, Hei Xiaoyu No. 2 was initially taken aback.

Then, with a sob in her voice, she cried out with ecstatic joy. Like a child who had suffered countless injustices, she finally saw a safe haven to support her and rushed into Riley's arms with great happiness.

"Hey! Correction! This isn't your Riley, it's mine! Mine—!!!"

Unfortunately, before Riley could reach out to take it, someone intervened and forcibly separated Black Jade No. 2 from Riley.

When Black Jade No. 2 looked closely, she was shocked to find that it was another version of herself, standing in front of Riley with her arms outstretched as if guarding against a thief.

Not far behind Riley, there was a second "self" slowly walking towards them.

Even Xiaoyu, who usually has a wildly imaginative mind, was stunned and stood there, feeling that her brain was not quite up to the task.

Could it be that I haven't actually escaped the influence of the tattoo and am still living in a hazy, illusory world?!

"Let me explain, Xiaoyu..."

Fortunately, Riley had anticipated this and had prepared a corresponding response.

He reached out and affectionately ruffled Xiaoyu's hair before walking past her to Black Xiaoyu No. 2. In a soft voice, he began explaining the concept of parallel universes to Black Xiaoyu No. 2 and promised her that if she was willing to travel to a parallel universe, she could experience a special adventure.

So, when the time is right, the parallel universe version of Riley she meets will, just like now, take her back to this universe, resolve the various regrets left behind, and help "revive" her Riley.

After Riley finished speaking, and Black Jade 2 remained silent, gradually digesting and understanding everything, the time portal that Valmont had opened to seek help from Black Jade 2 happened to appear beside her at that moment.

Once Black Jade No. 2 remembered what Riley said and stepped into the time travel passage, the time loop was completed.

Then, through a series of events they experienced together, she gradually transformed from Black Jade No. 2 into the Black Jade standing next to Riley today.

Of course, as a party involved, having completed this part of the history, Riley should then begin to fulfill his promises.

However, considering the timeline reboot, let alone meeting Jade Black, even in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Shendu wouldn't have interfered, acting as the best courier and actively delivering the twelve talismans to Riley.

Not to mention, the Holy Lord of this universe is still possessing Valmont and hiding in some dark corner of Riley's own universe!

In this way, because the two parallel universes are so closely connected, like yin and yang, the simple and crude method Riley used on the three insects—allowing them to live again with their memories intact—is clearly not applicable to this universe.

But this was no challenge for Riley, who was full of clever ideas.

Having already learned from Hei Xiaoyu why Riley of this universe disappeared and the exact date of his disappearance, Riley summoned the dimensional wall once more and stepped into it alone.

When Riley reappeared, more than a year had passed, and he arrived at the Williamsburg Bridge in New York City at night.

That's right, it was the time when Riley, along with Peter, was fighting against a sudden large number of lizardmen. Peter's attack on his allies completely enraged the Hulk, forcing Riley to take the Hulk underwater to try to subdue him, but almost caused a disaster.

However, this parallel universe's Riley is clearly not as good as the protagonist Riley.

Although it's a parallel universe, many aspects are almost identical to those of the protagonist, Riley.

For example, through Hei Xiaoyu's description of "Riley's" personality, the protagonist Riley is convinced that the Riley in this universe, like himself, was reincarnated into the Marvel Universe after successfully fulfilling the conditions for being an undercover agent at the cost of his own sacrifice.

Even so, there is still a significant gap between the two Rileys.

Most importantly, Riley in this universe does not have the "Dream Redemption System".

As a result, not only did Riley in this parallel universe successfully awaken Spider-Man's superpowers, just like the protagonist Riley, but he also did so in this parallel universe.

However, due to his physical abilities, which he developed entirely through his own hard work without any system enhancements, the power boost that Riley in this universe received after becoming Spider-Man was far less than that of the protagonist, Riley.

Even due to the influence of genetic compatibility, Peter's displayed values ​​were slightly higher than Riley's in this universe. This foreshadowed and created hidden dangers for Riley's death in the parallel universe not long afterward.

After that, Riley and Harry in the parallel universe remained good brothers who had saved each other's lives.

However, because there is no system to enhance the attributes of Riley in the parallel universe, whose intelligence attribute remains unchanged, even if Harry were willing to provide the materials, it is clear that he would not be able to work hard to produce two sets of nanosuits on his own.

As a result, even after the Parker brothers became Spider-Man, the suits they wore were still hand-sewn bodysuits.

Aside from concealing one's identity, it has no other functions.

In terms of wearability and portability, it is also far inferior to nanosuits.

Not to mention features like voice changers, bulletproof, fireproof, and gasproof protection, independent oxygen cylinders, etc., which seem basic and ordinary but are extremely practical!

This is the second hidden danger that has appeared in Riley's parallel universe.
