I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 527 [Two Chapters Combined into One] The Layout Begins

Bo Gang stared blankly at his fist that had been stopped, still reeling from the shock.

But soon, it keenly sensed a familiar, mountain-like energy fluctuation emanating from the human before it.

That is the Holy Lord's Ox Talisman.

Bo Gang's pupils contracted violently.

Although they are all eight great demons and seem to share the same stance.

But just as the Holy Lord deceived Bogang and the others, instead of rescuing them from hell immediately, he ruled over the entire human world, playing music and enjoying himself alone.

Each demon harbors its own agenda.

Having interacted with the Holy Lord for thousands of years, Bo Gang was extremely familiar with the Holy Lord's power. After learning that the Holy Lord's power had been condensed into twelve physical talismans, he had coveted this power more than once, wanting to possess it for himself.

But now, before Bo Gang himself could even taste the benefits of the talisman, he was astonished to discover that the power of the Ox Talisman was operating on a human.

Moreover, this power is even stronger than when the Holy Lord himself used it!

Unfortunately, the talisman fell into human hands. This crucial information was never mentioned to Bo Gang by the Holy Lord from beginning to end!

When the Holy Lord released Bo Gang, aside from apologizing in person and using flowery words to whitewash himself, portraying himself as a hypocrite trying to rescue his brothers and sisters, when Bo Gang inquired about the changes in the world, he only vaguely replied that times had changed and the enemies might be a bit troublesome. But with Bo Gang's unparalleled strength, he would surely be able to easily eliminate any enemies standing in his way.

Despite Bo Gang's understanding of the Holy Lord—that at least nine and a half out of every ten sentences the Holy Lord uttered were lies—Bo Gang, finally seeing the light of day again after many years, was eager to find delicious food to fill his stomach.

Therefore, upon hearing the Holy Lord say this, and witnessing firsthand that the humans following the Holy Lord were far weaker than the righteous mages of thousands of years ago...

Bo Gang, believing that the Holy Lord wouldn't gain anything by deceiving him in such matters, chose to believe the Holy Lord's words. He immediately left the temple, moving his large and clumsy body towards the city.

But now, Bo Gang finally realized something was wrong...

You call this monster, which can easily pierce my palm and suppress my movements by holding a talisman, "a bit tricky"?

Holy Lord! I actually believed your nonsense!

You bastard!

I should have guessed! If you weren't outmatched, why would you suddenly be so kind as to save us from hell?

Just you wait, if I can get back alive from this monster...

You're the first thing I'll eat!

However, just as Bo Gang's lips twitched slightly and he was cursing the Holy Lord for betraying his teammates, he suddenly staggered.

Because it could clearly feel that the force that had been blocking its way like a mountain had suddenly disappeared.

When I looked down instinctively, I couldn't see Riley anywhere.

But this is not good news for Bo Gang right now.

The most terrifying enemy is the unknown one.

In an instant, Bo Gang activated his senses to their fullest extent, frantically scanning his surroundings, desperately searching for Riley's whereabouts.

But the surroundings were empty, except for its own increasingly heavy breathing, which was tinged with fear.

At that moment, a tremendous force came from behind Bo Gang without warning.

It was Riley who descended from the sky and, with a flying kick, struck Bogang squarely in the back of the waist!

That was a technique that Uncle Jackie taught Riley, a move that could be called the "God of Concepts".

Concentrating all the body's strength into one point is enough to kick any enemy away.

Uncle Long used this move to kick Tru, who was a numerical monster before he was redeemed, more than once.

Now, Riley, whose stats completely overwhelm Tru, used this move to kick the 53-meter-high Mountain Demon away!

"boom!!!"

Almost the instant the attack struck, Bo Gang's entire body was launched into the air uncontrollably amidst a terrified scream. His massive frame flew like a cannonball towards the coastline far from the city.

But that direction is also the "safe zone" that most citizens subconsciously choose when they flee.

If left unchecked, the moment that wave hits, it will cause countless casualties!

And these exhausted citizens are clearly aware of this.

When they looked up and saw the overwhelming figure hurtling towards them, everyone's legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground, letting out desperate screams.

Meanwhile, far away in the Sanctuary in New York, the Ancient One sat on a sofa with a steaming cup of tea in front of him.

She appeared to be resting with her eyes closed, but in reality, her consciousness had already traveled halfway around the world, paying attention to everything happening in Tokyo.

She opened her eyes the moment she saw Riley kick Pogan away and send him hurtling into the crowd.

A rare hint of solemnity flashed in those eyes, which had become calm and undisturbed by the passage of time.

"This kid..."

She murmured to herself and slowly stood up.

Although she also disliked this ethnic group.

But if Riley really used Bogan to slaughter civilians, the nature of the matter would be completely different.

Killing the enemy is one thing, but indiscriminate killing is another.

Once this path is taken, one tastes the sweetness of controlling the life and death of others.

The Ancient One couldn't help but worry that Riley might succumb to this, like Kaecilius, whose reason was controlled by the powerful force, turning him into a ruthless killer.

Therefore, the Ancient One, who always chose to stay out of things, skillfully put on the Sling Ring this time, and golden sparks began to leap in the air in front of her.

But just as the portal was about to open...

A black figure streaked across the sky like a shooting star, appearing directly below Bo Gang's falling trajectory.

Riley raised a hand and steadily supported Bogang's back.

The movement was so effortless, as if it were supporting not a massive demon, but a falling feather.

The moment the two came into contact, a shockwave, visible to the naked eye, spread outwards.

But Riley had clearly taken this into account and had specifically added magical protection.

Therefore, those who collapsed on the ground only felt a strong gust of wind pass by, and some could not open their eyes, but no one was injured.

They stared blankly up at the figure carrying the demon away into the distance.

Deeply ingrained in their bones was a servile mentality that valued the strong above all else. This prevented them from taking their anger out on Riley because of their previous near-death experience.

Instead, they seemed to have seen a true god among men, and they knelt down one by one, spontaneously bowing down to Riley.

The golden sparks in front of the Ancient One slowly died out.

She stared at the departing figure for two seconds in silence.

Then she smiled.

That smile contained relief, approval, and even a hint of...calculation?

"What a false alarm."

She sat back down on the sofa, picked up her teacup and drank it all in one gulp. As she murmured to herself, her eyes became subtle.

"That's right. If this kid really wanted to go on a killing spree, he wouldn't be willing to use someone else's hand. He always kills openly and honestly."

She recalled Riley's approach when he was cracking down on drug traffickers around the world.

Even when he was betrayed and his mind was in a state of darkness and out of control, Riley still chose to confront them head-on and personally snap the necks of every drug lord.

They never hide anything, and their methods are extremely cruel...

But it has never harmed the innocent.

Now, with Riley in a clear-headed state, he is arguably the most cunning person the Ancient One has ever met.

How could he possibly murder so many people in public without any profit to be made, thus creating unnecessary trouble for himself?

"Courageous, resourceful, and self-disciplined..."

Thinking this, the smile on the Ancient One's lips deepened.

"No, compared to that good-for-nothing apprentice, I definitely prefer this little guy..."

"Before Stephen reaches a turning point in his life, I still need to find a way to fool this kid... ah, no, I mean to promote him to the position of 'Sorcerer Supreme'."

As they spoke, the previously empty teacup was automatically refilled with tea.

Her gaze once again turned to the distant East, continuing to watch Riley's every move.

Of course, considering how "sensible" Riley is...

Based on Riley's flight path, the Ancient One, who had already guessed Riley's ulterior motives, was happy to turn a blind eye to what was about to happen and pretend she hadn't seen anything.

……

Meanwhile, over Tokyo Bay.

……

Riley carried Pogan with one hand, flying rapidly beneath the clouds.

Bo Gang twisted his body desperately, trying to break free from that hand.

But putting that aside for now, Riley's hand was like it was welded to its back; no matter how much it struggled, it wouldn't budge...

Compared to its large and bulky body, its obviously short hands could only reach its own shoulders and waist, and couldn't reach Riley at all.

"Let...let me go...! What kind of skill is this, resorting to such underhanded tricks! If you're so capable, let's have a fair fight!"

This embarrassing situation left Bo Gang feeling utterly humiliated. His rapidly rising anger even suppressed his fear, and he roared in a helpless rage.

Riley did not answer.

He simply glanced down at the sea below.

They are now far enough from the coast that all they can see is the vast ocean.

And, a huge, exceptionally luxurious-looking cruise ship.

"Okay, you said it."

After a brief pause to confirm that no golden portals had suddenly appeared in the vicinity, Riley, hidden behind his mask, immediately revealed a knowing smile.

Indeed, people are bound to compromise, even the Ancient One was no exception.

Then, as if making a pointed remark, Riley, with the help of Justice, temporarily blocked the signal in an area of ​​several hundred meters and calculated the angle of his throw. Before the TV station's helicopter could catch up, he threw Bo Gang out.

Immediately afterwards...

"boom!!!"

Unable to stop falling, Bo Gang watched helplessly as he crashed into the deep sea, creating a giant wave nearly tens of meters high.

The luxury cruise ship, due to its massive size and slow acceleration, was unable to dodge in time. Amidst screams and cries of agony, it was engulfed by the massive hull of the ship and slammed directly into the deep sea. Not even a single bubble rose before it was swallowed by the ocean, erasing all trace of its existence in this world.

Of course, after falling, Bo Gang also vaguely felt that he seemed to have bumped into something.

But at this moment, it clearly had no time to care what that fragile object that could break at the slightest touch was.

Just like the title of the Eight Great Demons, as the Demon of the Mountain, Pogan rarely ventures into the sea, whether to avoid conflict with Basha or for his own personal preference.

That's why, despite its massive size, Bogang is a complete landlubber. Almost the instant it fell into the water, it lost its composure and instinctively struggled frantically, using both its limbs to try and float to the surface.

Unfortunately, the wound Riley had previously inflicted hadn't had time to heal. Soaking it in the salty seawater caused it to grimace in pain. Taking advantage of this, the seawater poured large amounts into Bo Gang's mouth, depriving it of its ability to breathe freely, making its situation even worse!

When Bogang finally managed to steady itself with all its might and tried to bring its head to the surface, before it could even feel happy, a dark shadow swooped down and struck Bogang squarely between the eyebrows, slamming it back deep into the sea!

"boom!!!"

In that instant, the seawater burst open due to the violent force, briefly forming a huge cavity that revealed most of Pogan's body. Then, as the seawater surged back in, about to submerge Pogan's body again, Riley, meeting Pogan's visibly shocked gaze, raised his fist and slammed it down once more.

Even worse, due to the change in the battlefield, Riley, no longer worried about accidentally injuring others, showed absolutely no mercy. He treated Pogan like a free punching bag, beating him mercilessly!

So much so that after just two blows, Bo Gang, who was already seeing stars, had his arrogance instantly shattered, and even his eyes became much clearer!

Even though it followed the demon's instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, and wanted to abandon its dignity and beg for mercy from the human in front of it, Riley did not give it that chance.

Because of the third punch that followed, Riley deliberately adjusted his stance and landed it on Bogan's mouth!

With his fourth punch, he didn't even bother with any pretense. He leaped up and charged down at high speed with the power of a superhuman punch, piercing right through Bo Gang's throat!

Although those two blows weren't enough to kill Bo Gang...

But it completely shattered Bo Gang's humble wish to beg for mercy on the spot!

This led to Bogang, whose eyes were growing increasingly desperate, being able only to watch helplessly as Riley continued to beat him unilaterally.

Punch after punch, each punch heavier than the last.

The seawater was churned and boiled, and the dark green blood spread like ink, staining the entire sea black.

This brought a hint of joy to Bo Gang's eyes, who was deep in despair!

Because it knew very well that if ordinary beings came into contact with the blood of a demon, they would either succumb to the backlash of its power and gradually die, or be corrupted by the blood and become the demon's minions.

On this planet, the ocean covers more than twice the area of ​​the land. The evaporated seawater turns into rain, carrying the blood of demons to every corner of the world!

As long as the ocean is polluted, even if Pogan is beaten to death by Riley, he can rely on his corrupted minions to secretly accumulate power, waiting for the day when this human dies of old age, to resurrect Pogan, regain his rule over the world, and wash away this shame!

But soon, Bo Gang was plunged into a deeper level of despair as he witnessed the bizarre scene before his own eyes.

Because it saw that the seawater, which had been contaminated by its blood and turned pitch black, returned to its pristine state after just a few breaths, as if nothing had happened. It was even clearer than before it was contaminated by Bo Gang's blood!

Then, in this sea area that had undergone two changes in a short period of time, if Bo Gang sensed carefully, he desperately detected another aura that he was all too familiar with.

One of the twelve talismans belonging to the Holy Lord, the Horse Talisman possesses purifying power!

No wonder this human dared to beat it so recklessly; it turns out that it had anticipated this possibility and prepared preventative measures in advance!

His meticulousness was truly an eye-opener for Bo Gang!
