I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 232 Peter: What right do you have to tell me what to do! You're not my real brother!

Of course, as a parallel universe counterpart of the protagonist Riley...

Although Riley in this universe lacked the protection of a system, he still saw through Black Egg's sinister intentions at a glance.

Unfortunately, without the protection of a system, Riley in the parallel universe, before awakening his Spider-Man superpowers, while also enjoying standing up for the underdog at school, was not as famous as the protagonist Riley due to his limited personal abilities. He also lacked the influence to change the school's atmosphere and be recognized as the "boss" by all the students.

This is why, while Peter in this universe also respects his brother and admires Riley's courage to stand up for others and his strong sense of justice, he hasn't yet come to regard Riley as an external brain and unconditionally trust all of Riley's choices, just like the protagonist Riley's Peter.

In addition, Peter himself is a saintly person who would risk his own life to save others.

[Note: "Saintly Mother" is a positive term. Not only Peter Parker, but Captain America also has a saintly personality. In contrast, those who only stand on moral high ground, pointing fingers at others while doing nothing themselves—the "Saintly hypocrites"—are the ones who deserve contempt.]

Therefore, upon learning that by assisting S.H.I.E.L.D., there was a chance to stop the crisis created by the Hulk and save the lives of many innocent citizens, they were overjoyed.

Peter, simple-minded and wholeheartedly good-hearted, even though he vaguely guessed his fate like Riley, still resolutely nodded and accepted the pie in the sky that Black Egg had painted for him.

For no other reason than...

So that even with only a one in ten thousand chance of success, Peter would fight with all his might against those complete strangers!

But to Peter's utter surprise...

Ben Parker and Riley, who usually like to say "with great power comes great responsibility," almost simultaneously stood up to try to stop Peter from participating in such a dangerous mission!

After all, as mentioned before...

Humans are, after all, selfish.

Even my uncle is no exception.

Having already lost his younger brother, Ben Parker clearly could not accept watching his brother's only remaining bloodline walk step by step toward death!

Needless to say, Riley was an even bigger fish!

If looks could kill, Riley, with his gloomy face and staring intently at the black braised egg, would probably have already chopped this scoundrel into mincemeat on the spot and whipped his corpse repeatedly!

Unfortunately, the child had grown up and entered his rebellious phase. No matter how Riley and Ben Parker tried to persuade him, he was determined to jump into this doomed situation!

The main idea is that even if you know there is no benefit to it, you should sacrifice yourself to save other people's lives!

Peter even mistakenly believed that the two men were just saying it for show, and was so disappointed that he had a big argument with them!

Overwhelmed with emotion and fueled by anger, he blurted out a furious retort to the two people who were earnestly trying to persuade him, without thinking.

"I have my own ideas, why should I listen to you! You're not my biological parents! You're not my biological brother! What right do you have to control me—!!!"

Of course, as soon as he said those words, seeing the Parker couple and Riley's stunned expressions and their sudden silence, Peter already began to regret it.

However, rebellious teenagers tend to care more about their own dignity and face than about their family's feelings.

"...Let's go, Mr. Fury. Time is of the essence. Every second we delay will result in more victims."

Therefore, in front of Black Egg, an outsider, Peter, who inexplicably felt that he would lose face if he apologized, hesitated for a long time before finally failing to say the words of apology.

He clenched his fists, forcing himself to turn away, unable to face the complex gazes of Riley and the others. He stubbornly urged them on, then fled outside as if escaping.

"No problem... Also, you don't need to worry too much. We at S.H.I.E.L.D. will do everything we can to protect Mr. Peter's safety. Now, please allow me to take my leave."

Meanwhile, Nick Fury regrets that he only managed to persuade one Spider-Man to participate in the operation, despite his efforts of coaxing and deception.

But seeing the "friendly" looks from the Parker family, Nick Fury knew that if he stayed any longer, he probably wouldn't be able to leave their house. After exchanging pleasantries, Nick Fury decisively followed Peter's footsteps and took him away, boarding a helicopter that had landed on the street after receiving orders, and hurriedly heading to the battlefield.

And what happened next was exactly as Riley had feared...

Even though Spider-Man is often jokingly referred to as "Little Hulk".

Even though Peter used every trick in the book, and even abandoned his principle of not killing at one point, choosing to go all out.

But Peter's small frame was no match for the Hulk.

Not to mention that Hulk now has a bull talisman embedded in his palm! Combined with Hulk's own characteristic that the angrier he gets, the stronger he becomes, it is enough to bring about a tremendous qualitative change in the already terrifying gamma monster's strength!

So much so that even with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s firepower support, Peter couldn't gain much of an advantage after entering the battlefield. He quickly found himself in an awkward situation where he could only rely on his spider-sense to barely dodge Hulk's attacks and had no chance to fight back.

Hulk became increasingly angry because he couldn't hit Peter, and his strength began to rise again.

As Peter struggled more and more during the dodge, he finally made a mistake and Hulk grabbed his ankle and crushed it to pieces!

Then, as Peter cried out in pain, they lifted him high above their heads and slammed him down onto the rubble-strewn ground!

Fortunately, even though she was hurt by Peter's impulsive words, Riley in this parallel universe couldn't really watch Peter die.

Taking advantage of the time Peter gained while fighting the Hulk, Riley took the Parker couple directly to District 13. He asked Sheriff Black to settle them in and, while providing them with refuge, borrowed the Chicken Charm from Sheriff Black.

Then, just as Peter was about to die, they arrived at the scene in time. Using the power of the Chicken Talisman, they forcibly froze Hulk's body!

Riley from the parallel universe seized the opportunity to rush forward and pry Hulk's fingers open with all her might. Before Hulk could break free of his telekinetic control with brute force, she supported Peter while simultaneously firing webs, attempting to quickly remove Peter from the battlefield.

Unfortunately, even the Hulk in his normal state was able to break the telekinetic control of the Chicken Talisman, let alone the enhanced version of the Hulk now, empowered by the Ox Talisman.

Almost the instant the Parker brothers' feet left the ground, pulled by the spider silk.

Hulk launched himself into the air like a cannonball, arriving above the two men before he could reach them. He then clenched his fists and slammed them down on the Parker brothers!
