I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 543 [3 Chapters Combined into 1] Amora's Return

Dr. Asakura was taken aback.

He certainly knew what Fury was talking about.

The Space Helicarrier, the most powerful weapon secretly built by S.H.I.E.L.D. with all its resources.

The aerial fortress, touted as one that "never falls" once activated, is one of the greatest engineering feats in human technological history.

It is also the final line of defense that Nick Fury has always wanted to build for Earth after witnessing the alien threat firsthand.

However, the amount of energy required to start this massive war machine is simply despairing.

As a result, ordinary energy sources are insufficient to meet the daily needs of the space carrier.

If conventional nuclear power is used, it will inevitably lead to a further increase in the size of the space carrier, or a reduction in the overall performance of the space carrier.

Unfortunately, in this universe, Tony, influenced by Riley, chose to join Section 13 instead of cooperating with S.H.I.E.L.D. Even the palladium poisoning problem was resolved by Riley early on. This meant Nick Fury clearly couldn't obtain multiple Arc Reactors from Tony to serve as the energy core for this behemoth.

After much back and forth, in order to fully utilize the capabilities of this precious machine without incurring additional costs and causing the development period to be extended indefinitely...

The immense energy contained within the Tesseract became Nick Fury's last hope.

"But we are not ready yet."

Dr. Asakura clearly understood this as well, but he did not agree with Nick Fury's suggestion. Responding in a serious tone, he quickly walked to the control panel and pulled up a set of data.

"My calculation formula still needs some time to be run and verified to ensure the feasibility of the containment system. But the Cosmic Cube is constantly emitting interference signals and radioactive materials, and every fluctuation will cause our data to deviate."

"Tsk...what a pity..."

Fortunately, although Nick Fury has always been unconventional, he also understands that forcibly using an imperfect new energy source could easily lead to the failure of the space carrier before it even gets off the ground.

So after reviewing the data and confirming that Dr. Asakura was not exaggerating, he had no choice but to accept Dr. Asakura's proposal, even though he was unwilling.

As she reluctantly shifted her gaze from the Cosmic Cube and refocused on Dr. Asakura, she asked curiously.

"Wait a minute, Doctor, you just mentioned radiation...like nuclear radiation? Is it very dangerous?"

"To be precise, it's very low gamma radiation."

Dr. Asakura shook his head, and after some manipulation, pointed to the waveform on the screen and responded half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"The numbers aren't high, so they're not harmful to the human body. You also don't need to worry that if we stay here too long, we'll all turn into the Hulk like Dr. Banner."

He paused, then added, "To be honest, it would be even better if it could really become like Dr. Banner's. At least it would show that we've made a breakthrough in its use. And it would also expand S.H.I.E.L.D.'s capabilities while Spider-Man is showing off his skills."

Fury didn't immediately respond, but his shifty eyes clearly showed that he was interested in the second half of Dr. Asakura's words.

"Forget it, that idea is too dangerous, and we don't have the time to study it carefully right now."

Unfortunately, this idea remained just a thought in my mind.

Nick Fury knows all too well how terrifying it is for the Hulk to go out of control.

One Hulk is troublesome enough, but what if a whole bunch of out-of-control Hulks suddenly appeared...?

Well, I'm afraid before these Hulks even learn how to control their powers, that vengeful wall-climbing bug will have to jump out and snap its own neck first.

Therefore, Nick Fury didn't dwell on the topic too much. He scanned every corner of the storage room and raised an eyebrow to ask.

"By the way, where's Agent Patton? Didn't I send him over to protect you?"

Dr. Asakura raised his hand and pointed to the high place behind him.

"Eagle Eye? He's probably hiding in his nest."

Fury followed his finger and saw a huddled figure on the steel beam at the highest point of the storage room.

Clint Barton—codename Hawkeye—was sitting there, looking utterly bored.

His legs dangled in mid-air, swinging idly as he toyed with an arrow in his hand. Every now and then, he would tap the arrowhead against the steel beam beneath him, producing a crisp metallic sound.

Of course, although Hawkeye seemed to be daydreaming and slacking off, Fury knew that the spot was clearly one that Hawkeye had carefully chosen, allowing him to overlook the entire storage room.

Furthermore, relying on his unerring aim and sharpshooting skills, an arrow shot from there could hit any corner of the room within 0.3 seconds.

"How long has he been squatting there?"

"He hasn't come down since the evacuation started, saying that 'the view is better from up here.' But I always felt that he just wanted to find a place where no one would bother him to take a nap."

Just as Nick Fury and Dr. Asakura were talking, Hawkeye seemed to hear his own name, looked down at them, waved at Fury, and then resumed his listless posture.

Nick Fury nodded slightly, just about to find an excuse to leave Dr. Asakura and ask Hawkeye if he had discovered any clues while "protecting" the research team...

For example, has Dr. Asakura, who was recently recruited into the research team as Dr. Selvig's replacement, tampered with the Cosmic Cube, thus triggering the current out-of-control crisis?

Just then, the light in the storage room flickered.

What followed was a tremor that swept through the entire research institute, enough to make one instinctively uneasy.

For a time, both above and below ground...

The air seemed to freeze, and everyone froze, looking around anxiously.

Immediately afterwards, the Cosmic Cube emitted a dazzling blue light, like a solar eruption, filling the entire storage room and turning everyone's faces into a deep blue.

"Energy reading surpasses 400%!" Dr. Asakura's shout rang out amidst the piercing alarm. "Still rising! 450%! ​​500%... The phase shifter has been activated! Something is trying to teleport here!"

Nick Fury's expression changed drastically. Without bothering to ask Hawkeye for details, he hurriedly waved his hand and gave the order.

"Everyone evacuate! Immediately! To B-2...!"

But before he could finish giving his command, the light from the Cosmic Cube condensed into a solid beam of light and shot it toward the mechanical device directly in front of him.

The next second, blue light exploded in mid-air, forming a rotating energy vortex on the mechanical platform.

At the center of the vortex, space began to distort and tear apart, as if an invisible hand was ripping reality itself apart.

Then, two people emerged from the torn spatial rift.

Leading the way was a woman.

She was tall and slender, wearing a tight-fitting dark green dress that accentuated her curvaceous figure. Her long golden hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her face was both cold and alluring.

Amora, who had recently suffered a setback at Riley's hands and barely managed to save her life before fleeing in a sorry state and disappearing without a trace.

Of course, compared to Amora's beauty, what is more eye-catching at this moment is the golden scepter in her hand.

The staff is carved with intricate patterns, and a gem that emits a faint blue light is set at the top.

The light and the energy of the Cosmic Cube complemented each other, as if they came from the same source.

It is Loki's scepter, made from the Mind Stone, one of the two Infinity Stones in Thanos's possession, and capable of controlling people's minds!

Oh, no...

Now that Loki has been redeemed and joined the main characters...

Amora, who has clearly taken over Loki's role, now wields what should be called the Amora Scepter.

Behind her was a burly man.

The man was 2.18 meters tall, wearing simple leather armor, wielding a double-headed axe, with bulging muscles and a rugged face. Standing next to the petite Amora, he looked exactly like a villain who forced women into prostitution and bullied men and women.

Yet, despite his imposing presence and the dominant role he should have played, the man looked at Amora with an almost fanatical adoration. He followed closely behind Amora like a loyal hunting dog.

That was one of Amora's "ex-boyfriends," her most loyal servant, the executioner Skorch.

As the energy vortex disappeared, Amora seemed to have been freed from some kind of control, letting out a sigh of relief and straightening her back noticeably.

Then, her gaze swept over the people in the storage room, a disdainful smile appearing on her lips.

"This is where the Midgardians use to study the Tesseract? It's incredibly rudimentary and outdated... It's a complete waste that the Infinity Stones are in your hands."

His voice was lazy and indifferent, as if he were commenting on a pile of worthless trash.

It was this statement that convinced Nick Fury that the person before him was an enemy, not a friend. With a flourish, he lifted his leather coat, drew his sidearm, and locked his gaze firmly onto Amora's head.

"Madam, please stay where you are, with your hands above your head... You only have one chance. If you make any sudden movements, I will shoot!"

Upon hearing this, Amora turned and glanced at Nick Fury.

Those eyes were as green as a lake in spring, and as deep as a bottomless abyss.

With just one glance, Fury shuddered violently, as if struck on the top of his head by an invisible bolt of lightning.

His finger was on the trigger, but he couldn't get any leverage.

The scene before my eyes gradually began to blur. Only a seductive voice remained, whispering incessantly…

"Put down your guns and surrender..."

"From now on, all you need to do is look at her, listen to her, and obey all her commands..."

As the whispers echoed in his ears, Nick Fury's eyes gradually became unfocused, and his arm began to slide down slowly.

This made Amora's lips curl into a slight smile.

Sure enough, monsters like Riley are only an exception in Midgard.

Even without using the power of the Mind Stone, relying solely on one's own magic...

She remains the same alluring witch who commands respect and makes countless men willingly kneel at her feet!

No one can resist their own alluring charm!

But just as Amora was feeling smug and regaining his confidence...

The next second, reality slapped Amora hard in the face.

Nick Fury, who had been gradually giving up resistance, suddenly bit his tongue. A sharp pain, like an electric shock, quickly spread throughout his body.

Then, a strong, metallic taste of blood quickly filled his mouth. Nick Fury's eyes instantly regained their clarity. His finger on the trigger tightened again, veins bulging.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang—!!!"

A deafening gunshot rang out, followed by a blinding flash of light, which exploded in the dimly lit storage room.

In the blink of an eye, Nick Fury, showing absolutely no mercy, pulled the trigger repeatedly, decisively emptying Amora's magazine!

The bullets tore through the air, blocking Amora's escape route from all angles.

Amora remained motionless in the face of Nick Fury's sudden attack, as if she hadn't reacted at all.

But the stiff smile on her face and her gradually darkening expression were enough to show just how bad Amora's mood was at that moment!

At the same time, Skorch, who was standing next to Amora, rushed out.

The physical abilities of Asgardians far surpass those of Earthlings. With their formidable physical strength, they wielded the seemingly heavy double-headed axe with incredible agility, as if it were a living thing.

Almost the instant Nick Fury fired, Skorch not only stood in front of Amora, but his axe blade also drew silver arcs in the air, precisely blocking the trajectory of each bullet!

"Clang clang clang clang clang—!"

For a moment, the sound of metal clashing was as dense as rain.

Sparks exploded on the axe, the bullet was knocked away, and scattered all over the ground with a clanging sound.

Finally, under Nick Fury's increasingly grim and ugly gaze, Skorch swung his great axe, blocking every bullet.

Since joining S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury has encountered many supernatural beings.

But this is the first time someone has been able to use a cold weapon to intercept a firearm.

This set off alarm bells in Nick Fury's mind. Before he could even think of a next move, his hand, driven by honed muscle memory, reached for the spare magazine at his waist.

"You mere ants in Midgard, how dare you shoot at my witch? You're asking for death—!!!"

Unfortunately, Skorch didn't give Nick Fury a chance to reload.

Although Skorch knew that, given the physical constitution of Asgardians, even if he didn't intervene and let the bullets hit Amora, it wouldn't harm her in the slightest...

But in Skorch's eyes, Nick Fury's audacity to attack Amora was an unforgivable crime! A blatant provocation!

Therefore, after blocking the attack, Skorch did not hesitate for a moment. With a roar, he pushed off the ground and transformed into a human-shaped giant, charging fiercely towards Nick Fury.

In the blink of an eye, Skorch crossed the spatial barrier between them and appeared in front of Nick Fury as if he had teleported, raising his battle axe high.

But, just as the axe was about to fall...

An electric arrow shot silently from above, striking his shoulder blade precisely.

The next second, as a visible blue arc of electricity appeared, the high-voltage current contained within the arrow instantly spread throughout Skorch's entire body!

"Ughhhhhh—!"

Under the onslaught of the high-voltage current, Skorch's body convulsed violently, his muscles spasmed, and he nearly dropped the axe. His body lurched uncontrollably to one knee, frozen in place, mumbling curses.

However, the Asgardians' physical condition far surpassed that of ordinary humans, and Skorch's title was "Executioner," not "Thor."

Therefore, the high-voltage current, which was powerful enough to electrocute a person, did not cause any substantial harm to Skorch.

In just about a second, he endured the discomfort of the electric current coursing through his body, gritted his teeth, and turned his head to look in the direction from which the attack was coming.

There, Hawkeye, who had just saved Nick Fury, had already nocked a second arrow. Without even aiming, he released the arrow, aiming straight for Skorch's face.

But this only fueled Skorch's anger to a new level.

He roared and casually parried the incoming arrows with his double-headed axe, then gripped the axe handle with both hands and raised it high above his head.

Then, with all his might, he hurled the double-headed axe in Hawkeye's direction!

Faced with this fierce attack, Hawkeye's pupils suddenly contracted.

He threw the third arrow, which was already nocked on the bowstring, back into the quiver. At the same time, he drew another special arrow, quickly drew the bowstring, and shot it toward the ceiling of the storage room.

Then, while the arrow was still in flight, Hawkeye grabbed the steel cable connected to the arrow's tail and leaped off the steel frame.

Almost at the same time, Skorch threw an axe that grazed Hawkeye's scalp, shaving off a lot of hair before embedding itself in the wall behind him.

The force was so great that it blasted a huge hole in the wall made of special alloy! It's unimaginable what the consequences would have been if that had hit Hawkeye squarely!

Of course, Hawkeye couldn't care less about any of that at the moment.

Grasping the steel cable, it swung gracefully in the air before Eagle Eye seized the opportunity to release it, landing precisely on a nearby roof beam and regaining its advantageous high ground position.

Just as Hawkeye's feet touched the roof beam, and before he could even think about which arrow to use against Skorch, a dark green figure appeared silently before him.

Amora.

Her speed was unbelievable, as if she had calculated his landing point beforehand. The instant he landed on the roof beam, she flew up and swooped down to him. Giving Hawkeye no chance to react, she pressed the tip of her scepter against his chest.

"You're quite skilled... From now on, you belong to me."

As Amora's languid and indifferent words rang out, streams of dark blue energy surged from the gem at the top of the scepter and seeped into Hawkeye's chest.

That chilling power spread along the blood vessels, like countless fine needles simultaneously piercing the eagle's nerves.

This caused Hawkeye's body to stiffen abruptly, and he nearly dropped his bow and arrow. His eyes were quickly filled with black, turning pitch black, before visibly returning to normal.

This change was so brief that, outwardly, Hawkeye appeared unaffected...

But the way he looked at Amora had completely changed. All hostility vanished, replaced by a look of reverence and adoration for her.

Amora nodded in satisfaction, and as she retracted her scepter, she seemed to be deliberately retaliating against Nick Fury by nodding her chin in Fury's direction.

"That guy is yours now. Make sure he behaves himself."

Hawkeye nodded upon hearing this, without responding with any words.

But when he turned around, he had already nocked an arrow and drawn his bow, aiming the arrow at Fury's forehead.

His movements were fluid and without the slightest hesitation.

As soon as Amora gives the order, the arrow will pierce Fury's head without hesitation.

Nick Fury, already under Skorch's control, could only obediently put down his gun when faced with Hawkeye's completely unfamiliar, cold gaze, despite his deep resentment.

He turned to look at Amora and questioned her, word by word.

"Who exactly are you people? What do you want?"

But Amora had no intention of paying any more attention to Nick Fury, not even of using his scepter to control him.

She landed slowly from the height and walked towards Dr. Asakura. Her boots made a crisp sound as they stepped on the concrete.

"Wait...don't come any closer...please don't come any closer—!!!!!"

At the same time, although what came into view was a graceful and alluring beauty, Dr. Asakura, who witnessed the incident, felt as if he had been electrocuted and instinctively backed away.

Upon realizing that no matter how far he retreated, Amora was always moving towards him, and certain that he was Amora's next target, Dr. Asakura, knowing there was nowhere left to retreat, collapsed to the ground, his legs giving way. He let out a scream reminiscent of the classic meme "Bu Jingyun."

Unfortunately, this hilarious and exaggerated facial expression performance couldn't change Amora's mind.

Once she was close enough, she raised the scepter in her hand and, just as she had when controlling Hawkeye, lightly tapped the tip of the scepter on Dr. Asakura's chest.

The next second, as the pupil was completely filled and covered by black, it returned to normal...

The fear on Dr. Asakura's face vanished completely.

The way he looked at Amora again was just like Hawkeye's, burning with the fervor of a fanatic!

"Take the Cosmic Cube down... and you, take care of him. We need to get out of here before that black devil realizes something's wrong."

Having successfully taken control of Dr. Asakura, Amora showed no mercy. She first gave orders to Dr. Asakura, then turned and pointed at Nick Fury, who was obediently staying in place, and gave Hawkeye the order to attack.

"Oh my god, I just fired a burst of bullets at you, is this some kind of differential treatment?!"

Upon hearing Amora's words, Nick Fury, who had been worried that he might also be forcibly controlled, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

He then subconsciously looked up at the arrow, which was aimed directly at him and gleaming with a cold light, and sighed with despair.

"As expected, whether they're Earthlings or aliens..."

"Women are vengeful creatures, you can't mess with them..."
