Chapter 262 Even after turning to the dark side, the contemporary Jia Xu is still exerting his power
By continuously stacking buffs, one's mind can, in a sense, be restored to "normal".
Riley, who had already realized that there was something wrong with him, could have easily taken out the Horse Talisman from the system space.
So that the horse charm can dispel all external magic, free oneself from all negative buffs, and completely return to normal.
If all else fails, Riley won two bottles of high-grade life potions in the last lottery.
Well, even though it was done with the help of two lucky ladies, the system was completely silenced.
But in any case, Riley has more than just the Horse Talisman to combat negative buffs.
Even if one of the bottles was used on Hei Xiaoyu in a parallel universe, the remaining bottle was enough to "revive" Riley at full strength.
Therefore, from the very beginning, both Sheriff Black and Loki were completely overthinking things.
What if Riley really does become a ruthless villain, and there's absolutely no chance of him turning around?
Putting everything else aside...
At some point, the Supreme Water, who was always watching Riley's actions and thinking of ways to trick Riley into becoming his successor... cough cough, the esteemed Sorcerer Supreme had already personally taken action and given Riley a set of personality-correcting punches!
Not to mention the bald, Asian-looking stranger who took the cloak and dagger, as Martin Lee remembered her…
That's because the Ancient One foresaw this day coming and took a liking to the dagger that controls the power of light, with its inherent purification ability, and prepared an emergency measure for Riley in advance!
In other words, it's like how Sun Wukong, no matter how much trouble he causes, can confidently assert that he's right as long as Patriarch Bodhi doesn't punish him.
If the Ancient One hadn't intervened, Riley was certain that the choice he made would still be more beneficial than harmful in terms of future developments!
This is precisely why, after his personality reversed, Riley, who was already less cautious than his normal self, became the dark version of Riley who wanted to overturn the table at any time. This is why, after learning about the Black Egg... or rather, the Skrulls disguised as Black Eggs' conspiracy, he was so angry that he laughed and decided to no longer endure it.
Instead, they launched a swift and decisive attack, prematurely revealing another major crisis hidden within S.H.I.E.L.D. and even throughout human society.
That is, a secret invasion crisis caused by Skrulls impersonating others!
In turn, they would retaliate in kind, using the trust crisis caused by the Skrulls to attract the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D. and even the entire world!
Incidentally, based on this plan, Riley, a dark version of himself who is more vengeful than normal and completely unleashes his schemes like a modern-day Jia Xu without any scruples, has no intention of leaving the Skrulls any way out.
If Thor and Steve hadn't intervened in time...
Riley's original plan was to kill Nick Fury, who was disguised as a Skrull, and then have the ninja soldiers, disguised by Slacker, teleport into the White House and kidnap the president without warning.
Then, after the kidnapping incident escalates, Riley personally steps in, appearing like a divine intervention, to kill the "scheming" Skrulls and successfully rescue the US president from his predicament!
At that time, under the shadow of widespread fear and insecurity...
Compared to the Skrulls, which are purely an alien invasion...
No matter how you look at it, he's still an Earthling, and he's the first Spider-Man to see through the Skrulls' schemes and come to their aid in time. In the eyes of these politicians, doesn't he seem much more lovable and approachable?
Even after being kidnapped and rescued by Riley, the US president, who was essentially a pawn in Riley's self-directed and self-acted drama, still had to shake Riley's hand and sincerely say thank you!
Taking this as an opportunity, even if someone tries to tarnish Riley's reputation or spread rumors that he wants to rebel, they will immediately be identified as remnants of the Skrulls who are trying to sow discord!
Without Riley even needing to show his face, politicians who fear he might misunderstand or be disappointed and choose to switch sides would all roll up their sleeves and rush forward to kill this "imposter" who spread rumors and caused trouble!
