Chapter 253 [Two Chapters Combined] Mr. Negative: Dude, you seem to be going a bit too far.
Of course, this is accompanied by a change in the personality of "Black Spider-Man".
Not only were the villains in New York City horrified to realize that the Black Spider-Man, whom they had previously considered terrifying enough, had actually been just playing with them all along, but they also completely became obedient due to the Black Spider-Man's terrifying crime-solving efficiency.
Then, faced with the terrifying sense of oppression displayed by the serious Black Spider-Man...
Let's not even talk about serious crimes like murder, arson, or robbery...
Even traditional free sales of arts and crafts have completely disappeared during this period!
This caused New York City, which was previously plagued by rampant crime, to experience a precipitous drop in its crime rate, heading straight for the 0% mark!
Even Kingpin and his crew, who were on a small island overseas and keeping a close eye on Spider-Man's movements, who were responsible for Riley's drastic change in personality, could no longer laugh after a week of continuous observation.
Wow, you're saying Spider-Man wasn't affected...?
However, Spider-Man's style of action has become noticeably more brutal and ruthless.
And according to the actual video footage reported by their informants in New York...
Spider-Man has completely abandoned his no-kill policy and has begun a killing spree, like a god of death descending upon the world!
But you might say that Spider-Man has now degenerated into a villain...
That's obviously not the case!
After all, whether they're arrested or killed on the spot...
Spider-Man's relentless targets over the past week have been nothing more than lawless villains!
On several occasions, even in public, he collaborated with other Spider-Men or monsters crackling with electricity. Their interactions were incredibly harmonious and friendly; there was absolutely no sign of his personality reversal or transformation into a violent and bloodthirsty individual!
"...So, what's going on here...? Did our meticulously planned operation end up creating an even more ruthless, terrifying, and difficult-to-deal-with demon king for ourselves?"
After a long silence, perhaps unable to bear the fear of Spider-Man in his heart, which was spreading and deepening with the passage of time, making it hard for him to breathe.
Kingpin, his brow furrowed, spoke first, breaking the oppressive atmosphere of despair, and coldly questioned Martin Lee.
"Mr. Li, you wouldn't happen to be someone sent by Spider-Man to deliberately fool us, would you...? I hope you can give a reasonable explanation for Spider-Man's changes."
"..."
But when faced with Kingpin's questioning, Martin Lee, who was equally puzzled, looked completely bewildered and had no idea how to explain it!
After all, this is the first time since he awakened his superpowers that someone affected by his superpowers has experienced a significant change in personality, yet still managed to remain true to his original aspirations and continue fighting against evil in the world – a truly bizarre development!
It's impossible that the negative emotions this guy has been suppressing aren't some kind of wicked, shameful thought...
On the contrary, it was his own belief that he was being too extreme that made him try so hard to restrain his extreme goodwill—the desire to kill all the villains in the world and eliminate all future troubles once and for all?
Is this...is this reasonable?!
Who among good people can be completely free of any evil thoughts?!
[Wearing the mask that can corrupt the user's mind is merely an attempt to utilize the Shadow Legion's characteristics to handle tasks more efficiently. Even when broken down into good and evil, the evil side only imprisons Jade and the others, without ruthlessly killing the good people. (Inspector Black: ?)]
To prevent his fellow inmates from one day becoming enemies, and also to simply test the effectiveness of his abilities, Martin Lee had ambushed the two men before leaving with his dagger and cloak.
After that, not to mention the cloak that controlled dark energy was successfully controlled by Martin Lee...
Even a dagger that has awakened the power to control light and possesses purifying power cannot withstand Martin Lee's superpowers!
Even at the moment of being hit, the two people who control light energy and dark energy respectively undergo a complete reversal in terms of the attributes and effects of their superpowers, as well as their personalities and uniform colors!
And from then on, the dagger and the cloak, like Martin Lee's other henchmen, unconditionally obeyed Martin Lee's orders and became his tools to be ordered around!
If it weren't for an unexpected incident that led to the cloaked man and the dagger being rescued by a strange, bald woman who also appeared to be Asian.
They probably still have to maintain their puppet status to this day, obediently serving Martin Lee!
But now, after learning about Spider-Man's actions, Martin Lee, breaking out in a cold sweat, began to question for the first time whether his superpowers were simply amplifying the dark side of his targets' psychology, as he had initially thought...
The sheer number of gangs, large and small, wiped out by Spider-Man in just one week is enough for Martin Lee to have reason to suspect…
Let alone appearing in front of Spider-Man, attempting to establish a connection, and then using that to control Spider-Man's mind...
If Spider-Man finds out that he betrayed him and comes looking for him, Spider-Man will have no choice but to use his terrifying strength to twist his own head off and use it as a football!
Just thinking about the consequences made Martin Lee feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he trembled uncontrollably all over!
They even wished they could travel through time and give their past selves a good slap!
Are you really living such a comfortable life that you're putting yourself through this?!
If I had known beforehand, I would have realized that Spider-Man's most authentic side could be so extreme...
He might as well abandon the identity of Mr. Negative Film and live out the rest of his life honestly as "philanthropist Martin Lee"!
"Gentlemen, I think there's still plenty of time, so there's no need to worry about that."
Just as tensions were rising between Kingpin and Martin Lee, and it seemed they were about to engage in a pointless infighting, the two sides were on the verge of a fight.
"Valon," who had been silent all along, seemed to sense something, raised his hand, and silently tried several times.
It wasn't until he realized that he had unknowingly and completely lost the authority to summon the Shadow Legion.
The expression on Valon's face instantly brightened.
He then spoke up, attracting their attention, and with his hands on his hips, confidently continued speaking.
"As far as I know, that idiot Spider-Man has already summoned my Shadow Legion... and the Shadow Legion's specialty is unleashing the dark side of the summoner!"
"Therefore, we just need to wait patiently for a while longer. Spider-Man, who has completely fallen into darkness, will surely become a pariah!"
In his words, it was clear that if Riley were in a normal state, he would have used the method of the Holy Lord to "borrow" the authority to summon the Shadow Legion.
If one stays true to oneself, exercises restraint, and deliberately avoids prolonged summoning, it certainly won't have much of an impact on Riley.
The problem is that the Shadow Legion are not puppets, but magical creations with a certain degree of self-awareness and immortality! They can choose their own masters based on their own will!
Having fallen victim to Martin Lee's scheme, Riley is now in a delicate state of being both evil and righteous. He is able to fully unleash the potential of the Shadow Legion and is undoubtedly the type of master the Shadow Legion would prefer!
In this situation, even without imprinting Tara's tattoo, the Shadow Legion would subtly and gradually change Riley's mind over time!
As for this dangerous side effect, why is it not mentioned at all in the spellbook...?
Ultimately, the Holy Lord never wrote this encyclopedia of magic to give humanity a cheat code. It was simply a memo he prepared for himself because he was getting old and prone to forgetfulness.
Therefore, for the Holy Lord, who is a demon himself and spreads darkness and despair to the world, no amount of dark energy can change his mind, but it will only strengthen his power.
I never imagined that one day, the magic encyclopedia I painstakingly compiled would fall into the hands of humans!
There's no need to leave this note specifically during the compilation of the spell encyclopedia!
only……
The sage, who was laughing heartily, had already imagined the embarrassing scene of Spider-Man, who had fallen into darkness, being hunted down by the mortals he had once desperately protected and the brothers he valued.
But one thing was clearly forgotten...
Just like Jade in a parallel universe, who gradually transformed into the Shadow Queen after seizing control of the Shadow Legion...
If Riley's mind, as he predicted, is truly forever mired in darkness under the influence of the Shadow Legion...
With Tara still unconscious, wouldn't Riley be about to ascend to the throne, proclaim himself the Shadow Emperor, and become the sole master of the Shadow Legion?
Thus, for Valmont, who had already lost the twelve talismans, been abandoned by the fickle Shadow Legion, were unable to summon ninja soldiers to teleport them away, and whose Black Hand gang had suffered heavy losses and was on the verge of decline...
Is this really "good news" that makes him laugh out loud...?
……
The scene shifts, and time quietly slips away; another three days have passed.
Despite the dramatic improvement in the efficiency of the New York Police Department after tireless ninja soldiers replaced ordinary officers.
Furthermore, because the ninja soldiers always strictly followed Riley's orders during their public operations, they only arrested criminals and never harmed innocent civilians.
The revamped New York Police Department, which has taken on a completely new look, quickly won unanimous praise and recognition from New York City residents.
However, the problem of overcrowded prisons remains unresolved.
It could even be said that the extremely efficient arrest operation, coupled with the criminals' fear of being beaten up by Spider-Man, made them think that it was better to turn themselves in and seek leniency than to be beaten up by Spider-Man. As a result, the crime rate plummeted, and everyone rushed to the New York Police Department to surrender.
As a result, the next day, Rikers Island prison, the closest prison to New York City, finally succumbed to the pressure after taking in its 14696th inmate and became the first to issue a statement to the New York Police Department refusing to accept prisoners!
With such a big brother taking the lead, in addition to diverting and absorbing prisoners from New York, various places also had to deal with local prisoners. Prisons, which were also suffering greatly, followed suit.
This forced Riley, whose personality was becoming increasingly ruthless, to abandon his "gentle" idea of sending prisoners to jail.
Instead of killing the serious offender on the spot, he also beat a second-degree criminal who had committed multiple crimes but whose crimes did not warrant the death penalty, and who had failed to surrender himself in time out of wishful thinking, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down.
This would allow sending prisoners to hospitals for treatment as an alternative incarceration scheme, thus alleviating the burden on prisons.
As for the rest, those who committed crimes but either surrendered themselves or whose crimes were not serious, they were temporarily housed after tireless ninja soldiers urgently converted police stations across New York City into detention centers of various sizes.
After all, these ninja soldiers can hide in the shadows and don't need a fixed office location. This space could be used to detain prisoners, further reducing the pressure on prisoner accommodation.
Even so, Riley's efficiency in handling cases was still unmatched.
As night fell on the third day, these makeshift detention centers, whose capacity was far less than that of regular prisons, also reached their saturation point.
This made Riley, whose brows were furrowed, begin to ponder with a flicker in his eyes...
Alternatively, they could use their financial resources to buy some land.
Then demolish all the buildings and, like Hill, establish concentration camps?
In this way, not only would ordinary criminals have a place to go, but Riley would also have a more efficient execution system to kill those who are deeply guilty of crimes in batches, instead of Riley killing them one by one by himself, which is an extremely time-consuming and inefficient solution!
At this point, it's clear that Riley's murderous intent is growing stronger and stronger.
It's no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for Sheriff Black's constant vigilance, staying by Riley's side 24/7, fearing that Riley might make an irreparable mistake in a moment of madness, he would have been able to save Riley's last shred of conscience through his companionship and persuasion.
Let alone establishing concentration camps.
Disdainful of the inefficient method of having ninja soldiers with long-distance teleportation abilities arrest criminals one by one, Riley, whose temper was growing increasingly volatile, believed that the two-faced United States was the source of most of the world's suffering and tragedy...
It seems they've gone all the way and ordered Stuart to hack into the network system, mobilize nuclear weapons worldwide to launch, and give the US a thorough "bath," playing a real-life version of "Fallout"!
Even the excess portion won't be wasted. It'll be handed over to the Koreans and the island nation, so they can enjoy a comfortable bath with their beloved fathers and become acquainted!
Fortunately, Riley's increasingly eccentric plans—building concentration camps and launching nuclear missiles—were never put into action.
Besides Sheriff Black's desperate attempts to dissuade him...
More importantly, Riley's previously smooth-sailing law enforcement has encountered a new obstacle.
That is, the Black Lucky Eggs, believing that Riley had completely exposed his ambitions and become a major threat to the homeland, were both convinced of their foresight and swaggering with pride. They also saw themselves as saviors and began to target and attack Riley according to their original plan!
Thus began the direct confrontation between District 13 and S.H.I.E.L.D., and between Riley and the Black Egg!
