I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 529 The real intention is not in the wine

Guided by satellite positioning, the helicopter from the island nation's television station, having followed the trail, cautiously approached after confirming the battle was over. They carefully attempted to lock their camera onto Riley, giving the mysterious superhero a close-up shot.

But whether it's a photographer, a presenter, or even a pilot...

Without exception, everyone felt utterly lost...

Clearly, even seeing it with their own eyes, the scene before them still left them in disbelief.

"Ladies and gentlemen...that monster, it...it looks like..."

Although they were unable to film the entire battle because the helicopter couldn't keep up with Riley's speed...

But judging from the pitiful state of Bo Gang, with almost no good flesh on its body, it's not hard to guess what it went through before it gave in and admitted defeat.

So much so that when facing the camera, the reporter hosting the program tried to force a smile, but the impact of the visuals was so strong that she ended up with a bizarre expression that looked worse than crying.

Her intermittent speech made it even more unclear whether the "monster" she was referring to was Bo Gang or Spider-Man.

Meanwhile, in the footage captured by the photographer, the mountain demon, which was 53 meters tall, was obediently walking on the sea, like a tamed puppy.

The figure in black armor was lounging on its head, legs crossed, looking extremely relaxed and carefree, as if enjoying a leisurely holiday.

The combination of a human and a demon somehow creates a strange sense of... harmony?

The photographer couldn't help but swallow.

This scene looks incredibly eerie no matter how you look at it.

Especially the stark contrast between Bo Gang, covered in wounds and with eyes filled with despair, and Riley, who didn't even break a sweat and showed no signs of fatigue...

This prompted the photographer, and even most viewers in front of their screens, to have the same question...

Between Spider-Man and this monster, who is the real demon?!

In the open space of the temple where the Gates of Hell are located, Xiaoyu holds up her phone, and the screen shows a live broadcast from the TV station.

She stared at the massive figure on the screen, which Riley was completely at his beck and call, then looked at the familiar black figure, her eyes wide with disbelief.

"My God... I know Riley is strong, but this is too much..."

She murmured, her voice filled with disbelief.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Uncle Long, who was also filled with disbelief, and his expression became even more strange.

"Uncle Long, what did you say before? Riley would try to buy time? You call that buying time? I think that devil named Bogan should be trying to make sure he doesn't get killed by Riley in these ten minutes!"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Long subconsciously opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found himself speechless.

Having spent so much time together and fully embraced the concept of "magic," Uncle Long already knew the serious consequences of rashly killing a demon.

Therefore, Uncle Long has every reason to suspect...

If it weren't for the concern that killing Bo Gang would create a gap in the black energy, potentially attracting a new enemy of unknown origin...

Riley definitely has a way to kill Bogan directly!

Meanwhile, somewhere in the ruins of a building in Tokyo.

In the dark shadows, several figures stood silently.

Valmont—or rather, Valmont possessed by Shendu—stood with his back to the crowd, hands clasped behind his back, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Behind him, Afen, Lasu, Zhou, and Afu stood in a line, looking at each other.

Ah Fen was also holding a phone in his hand, the screen showing a live broadcast from the TV station.

He stared at the image of Bogan, who had been beaten beyond recognition and hadn't managed to put up a single fight, now obediently carrying Riley back. He glanced at Shendu's expressionless back, his lips moved, looking like he wanted to laugh but dared not.

In the end, Ah Fen couldn't hold back and spoke in a sarcastic tone, almost directly to his face.

"Um, Holy Lord... these are your fellow demons? They don't seem as strong as we imagined?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lasu and Zhou held their breath and subconsciously took a half step back to keep their distance from Afen.

In their minds, the Holy Lord, this evil dragon, was not exactly good-tempered.

If Ah Fen dares to speak in such a sarcastic tone, he's probably going to get into trouble.

However, to everyone's surprise...

"...Ha, of course, how could it possibly beat Spider-Man?"

Instead of being angry, the Holy Lord let out a low laugh.

He slowly turned around, and an expression of almost self-evident appeared on Valon's face.

"Among the eight demons, our strength is roughly equal... Even I couldn't handle that demon, how could Bogang possibly do so?"

Ah Fen was stunned for a moment, his mind not quite processing it, but his mouth had already spoken first, revealing the question in his heart.

"Uh... I don't quite understand... Since you knew you couldn't win, why did you go through all the trouble of releasing it, Holy Lord? Just so it could get beaten up and then be sent back to Hell?"

The Holy Lord glanced at him, his gaze carrying a profound meaning.

"You don't need to worry about that. Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

He paused, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"All you need to do is help me release the remaining demons."

After he finished speaking, he looked down at his palm.

On that pale palm, a dark red energy could be vaguely seen slowly circulating, radiating magical fluctuations of the same origin as Bo Gang.

Everything is going according to plan.

As is widely known, Shendu is not only one of the eight great demons, but also a powerful dark magic wizard.

The magic that Pogan used to absorb the Hulk's power was provided by Shendu.

Even his parallel universe self would not hesitate to betray the Holy Lord, who never cared about brotherhood and would never let Bo Gang take such a big advantage for no reason.

The reason it was given so readily was because it had slightly tampered with the magic, leaving a backdoor...

When Pogan activates this magic, Shendu can absorb Pogan's power from a distance through this back door.

In other words, from the very beginning, Bo Gang was used as a tool by the Holy Lord.

It didn't even expect Poland to win.

Shendu's initial plan was for Pogan to absorb Riley's power, while he himself could use Pogan, as a "tool," as a medium to extract a portion of Riley's power.

That human was hiding too many secrets—the power of those talismans, that strange battle suit, and that superhuman physical strength.

If they could obtain even a tiny fraction of this power, it would be a great help to Shendu. Furthermore, it would provide an opportunity to use it as a research subject to study dark magic capable of countering Riley…

Unfortunately, the plan went awry.

Before Bo Gang could even absorb Riley's power, he was beaten so badly that he couldn't even find his way north.

However, it wasn't entirely without gains.

The Holy Lord felt the weight of the energy in his palm.

Bogan's demonic energy, combined with the power he absorbed from Hulk...

Although the result was somewhat off, the successful recovery of Pogan's demonic energy, along with the Hulk's power as a bonus, made it a very fruitful outcome.

He withdrew his gaze and looked again at the figure returning on the distant sea.

"Let's go, there's nothing more to see...we still have work to do."

He spoke, his voice indifferent.

From the shadows behind them, dozens of shadowy ninja soldiers silently emerged, standing in neat rows, awaiting their master's command.

Lasu, Zhou, and Afu exchanged a glance, said nothing, and silently followed in the footsteps of the Holy Lord.

Ah Fen hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help himself and muttered softly, "Um, Holy Lord, shouldn't we go save Bo Gang? After all, it's yours..."

"Its mission is over, there's no need to waste time on something that's no longer of any use."

But before Afen could finish speaking, the Holy Lord responded in a harsh tone. His cold words were filled with sinister calculation.

He stepped into the shadows, his figure gradually swallowed by the darkness.

"Enjoy your victory, Spider-Man... but soon you won't be laughing anymore."

As the voice of the Holy Lord faded into the night wind.

The ninja soldiers surged into the shadows like a tide, taking the Holy Lord and his men with them, and vanished without a trace.

In the distance, the moonlight still shone on the sea.

Bo Gang carried Riley obediently toward the seal.

It was unaware that from the very beginning, it had been a pawn in a game of manipulation.

All it knew was that it could finally go back to hell.

It doesn't want to stay in this world for even a second longer!
