Chapter 235 How Terrifying Riley Was After Turning Dark
Chapter 235 How Terrifying Riley Was After Turning Dark
As the protagonist Riley said, the gamma monster that ravaged New York finally angered a god among men because of its actions.
On that very day, the citizens of New York City, who were mired in despair, saw a handsome young man in red underwear with a red cape billowing in the wind, standing with his back to the sunlight, appearing in the sky above New York City without warning, like a god.
So much so that when faced with the arrival of this god among men, the once invincible gamma monster was like a green ball, easily manipulated by this self-proclaimed superhero!
With sheer power, he became a symbol of hope, dispelling the gloom that shrouded people's hearts!
Of course, for ordinary people, the appearance of Superman is a symbol of hope...
But for Hulk, this was the beginning of a new nightmare!
After all, even when suppressed, the Hulk, who has never been afraid of anything, did not choose to give in, but continued to struggle and resist desperately.
Little did they know, this guy with the appearance of an ordinary human was the real monster!
Not only can he easily overpower the Hulk in a contest of strength, but he can also grab the Hulk's foot with one hand, swing him over his head and slam him repeatedly, or rub him against the ground.
The speed was so fast that Hulk had no time to react!
Psychic control, heat vision, and flamethrowers are tricks that Hulk can never defend against!
What's even more crucial is that he seems to know Hulk has a strong healing ability, so he didn't kill Hulk directly.
Instead, after shattering every bone in the Hulk's body, they slowed their attack, allowing the Hulk to heal itself. Once the Hulk was almost fully recovered, they would start all over again!
So much so that after repeatedly experiencing the "top-notch service" of "full body massage," what appears to others as a bright and sunny smile is nothing short of devilish in Hulk's eyes!
You could even say that the happier Superman laughs, the more terrifying he appears to Hulk!
This can no longer be called a battle; it's a one-sided massacre!
Terrified, Hulk, after struggling for a long time, finally broke down completely! Amidst the cries of agony, he chose to relinquish control of his body and retreat back into Bruce Banner's body!
With this, Superman became famous overnight and was recognized as the strongest superhero in New York City!
Of course, some people are happy while others are sad.
Nick Fury, who was watching from the shadows, was in real trouble. He was covered in rags, every inch of him was bruised and battered! He even had about ten broken ribs, and Nick Fury was grimacing in pain!
Of course, this is largely thanks to Nick Fury's exceptional survival skills, which allow him to always find the best way to evade danger when it comes.
Otherwise, after the battle, Nick Fury shouldn't have been lying in a SHIELD private hospital room under special escort...
Instead, the coffin was draped with the American flag and carried away on the spot by a professional Black team to the accompaniment of catchy electronic music!
Of course, even though he had been trying to stay further and further away each time, he always managed to get caught in the crossfire of their battles.
On several occasions, Superman seemed to stop acting altogether and simply grabbed Hulk and slammed him in the direction he was hiding.
Even when he saw that Nick Fury was only seriously injured but not completely dead after the battle, a fleeting look of disappointment, as if it were an illusion, crossed his face.
Nick Fury keenly realized that his current miserable state was not a coincidence at all, but that Superman was deliberately targeting him!
But Nick Fury racked his brains and still couldn't figure out when he had offended this powerful god on earth!
Furthermore, the other party appeared out of nowhere, and their background is completely unknown. It's also unclear whether this powerful superman has any weaknesses that can be exploited for moral blackmail.
This meant that even though Nick Fury was seething with anger, he had no choice but to swallow his pride and suffer in silence.
He politely thanked Superman, but could only watch helplessly as Superman took Bruce Banner away.
With a gloomy expression, he was escorted by Coulson to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Throughout the entire conversation, even the tone of his voice when speaking to Superman was noticeably more subdued than his usual arrogant demeanor.
They looked just like stray dogs, tail between their legs, slinking away in a sorry state, not daring to confront Superman head-on!
Therefore, what Nick Fury didn't know was...
He really didn't need to worry about these things.
After all, his survival had nothing to do with whether Superman—or more accurately, Riley from the parallel universe who impersonated Superman—was a benevolent superhero.
It's not that, after all that, Riley in the parallel universe still couldn't bring himself to kill this troublesome bastard...
On the contrary, no one wanted to torture and kill Hei Ludan more than him, and to repeatedly whip his corpse to vent his anger!
As a time traveler from a parallel universe, Riley obviously knew that Black Egg had a group of Skrulls under his command.
This is precisely why Riley in the parallel universe inevitably needs to worry that the Nick Fury appearing before him is merely a Skrull imposter. Killing him would only arouse the real Fury's suspicion, making it even more difficult to find an opportunity to kill him later.
Otherwise, Riley from the parallel universe, who uses the prince's disguise ability to transform his appearance into Hunter's likeness, wouldn't bother with all this nonsense.
Instead, the moment he appeared, he first used the heat vision of the Pig Talisman to blow up Black Egg's head, and then went to deal with Hulk!
Regardless, with the end of the battle, the Superman with the large S-shaped symbol on his chest became Riley's new identity in the parallel universe.
So, after discussing it with the protagonist Riley, who was still worried about Peter's parallel universe Riley, he chose to continue living in the current timeline as Superman.
In order to create a suitable opportunity to become Peter's mentor without causing too much impact on the main course of history, so as to continue to protect Peter while beginning to strictly teach him and prevent him from making the same wrong choices again.
In addition, because there was no Sheriff Black to provide support and encouragement, Riley in this parallel universe, stimulated by this desperate experience of isolation and helplessness, gave up continuing to be Spider-Man, the friendly neighbor of New York City.
Therefore, the suppressed modern-day Jia Xu-like qualities within Riley from the parallel universe began to gradually emerge without any reservations...
In order to maintain the intelligence advantage of the time traveler, Riley from the parallel universe decided to stay in the current timeline.
Using his identity as "Superman" and the improved Super Soldier Serum and Hulk Serum that Riley specially gifted him, he began to secretly plot.
On the surface, just like with Banner, he hijacks the Avengers from Black Egg's group and forms the Justice League, led solely by Superman. As a superhero, he operates in the world, constantly building popularity and drawing the hatred of villains to Peter.
In private, they form a "Dark Justice League" to do shady things—like assassinating Black Egg and eliminating S.H.I.E.L.D. members. Or they replace Kingpin and rule an underground criminal empire. Or when others try to misinterpret and smear the Justice League and Peter, they use various "accidents" to send them into an eternal, infant-like sleep—the kind of dirty and tiring work that is destined to be misunderstood by the world.
In this way, even if the Dark Justice League's actions are exposed, Justice League members will be dispatched immediately. While appearing to fight amongst themselves, they will act with restraint and arrest them, thus gaining public applause and cheers and reaping a wave of prestige.
As for the Dark Justice League members sent to prison, they would receive their wages and go on vacation in prison after prior arrangements were made. Until Riley from a parallel universe issued a new order to escape from prison again to "do bad things".
Through this continuous cycle and interconnectedness, Riley in the parallel universe was able to gradually expand his power.
Until he had influence over both the legitimate and criminal worlds, he effectively achieved a degree of dictatorship within the limited territory of the United States.
In order to leverage this strong foundation, we can completely prevent such disgusting incidents of using family members as bargaining chips and engaging in moral blackmail from happening to us again!
Even according to Riley's calculations in the parallel universe, if everything goes smoothly...
So, when the president's term ends and the election for the next US president begins...
Riley, disguised as "Superman" in a parallel universe, is able to crush his competitors without any doubt and be elected as the new President of the United States, thanks to the powerful strength he has demonstrated during this period and the solid public prestige he has gained!
In a truly bloodless way, we took over the discourse power of the entire United States!
At that time, those petty people like Black Egg, who dared to scheme against the Parker family, will suffer greatly and lose sleep over it.
So much so that Hei Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly, raising both hands and feet in agreement with Riley's plan from the parallel universe. She even used the prince to impersonate "Wonder Woman," voluntarily staying in this timeline to cooperate with Riley from the parallel universe in implementing this plan…
Even the protagonist, Riley, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow upon hearing this, a villainous smile appearing on his face, clearly showing that he was quite tempted!
Peter was so frightened that he quickly hugged Riley, the protagonist, and kept emphasizing that it wasn't necessary, things weren't that bad yet! And most importantly, they couldn't let Sheriff Black's good intentions go to waste!
This awakened the last vestige of conscience in the protagonist, Riley, who shook his head with a tsk-tsk sound, expressing his regret and dispelling the insane idea that could have scared Chief Black so much that his heart stopped!
Of course, whether it's the protagonist Riley or the Riley in a parallel universe, their core goal remains the safety of their families. The power struggles and intrigues are merely necessary means to achieve that goal.
When the time is right...
In a parallel universe, Riley would naturally shed his Superman disguise...
As "Rie Parker," he walks back into his home openly and legitimately, giving his parents and Peter a huge surprise!
