Chapter 555 Riley with a built-in group buff
Riley Parker.
The name that had haunted Amora like a nightmare ever since their last encounter, keeping her awake at night, now surged back into her mind with a series of chilling "pleasant memories."
The energy ball in his palm trembled violently as a result, almost losing control.
She instinctively took a half step back, her high heels clicking crisply on the stone pavement before she abruptly stopped.
It's not that Amora overcame her fear of Riley...
It was her Asgardian instincts that were constantly warning her...
Don't run, don't turn around, don't reveal any openings...
Before this black demon, any moment of weakness will be fatal.
As Amora's mind was shaken, the mental control magic she had cast on everyone briefly weakened.
Among them, the elderly man, who had been struggling, was the first to regain consciousness. Following Amora's gaze, he subconsciously looked up.
Then, he saw the figure on the dripping beast and froze on the spot.
Given his status, he had certainly heard of Spider-Man's fame, but he never imagined that the superhero who protects New York City would appear here so timely!
This caused the instinctive fear of the unknown that had been on his face to melt away like ice being smashed by a hammer.
Instead, there was an unbelievable ecstasy! A complete sense of relaxation and utter security!
His lips trembled violently as he used all his strength to call out a name.
Spider-Man—!!
This name, like a pebble thrown into stagnant water, instantly stirred up countless ripples.
Among the kneeling crowd, others, prompted by the old man, followed Amora's gaze, found the dark figure above the dome, and uttered the same cry.
Then came the third, the fourth, the fifth...
Before long, the shouts spread across the square like ripples.
From a few scattered sounds, it turned into a continuous wave of noise.
The sound of shouts transformed into cheers that swept across the entire square!
"It's Spider-Man!"
"Spider-Man is here!"
"Great! We're saved!"
Looking around him, as people gradually overcame their fear and cheered with genuine joy, the old man's eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
Although his knees were still on the ground, he no longer knelt before Amora, but instead bowed down devoutly to the dark figure.
In his view, this rising superhero has truly achieved the great goal of having no national boundaries in his heart and purely protecting world peace.
That's why the way he looked at Spider-Man wasn't as a masked vigilante, but as a symbol of faith and spirit.
And like this old man, there are clearly many others who share the same thoughts.
The atmosphere of fear in the square vanished instantly.
Those who were just moments ago crawling on the ground, trembling, now seemed to have been given a shot of adrenaline.
They no longer avoided Amora's gaze, no longer cowered, no longer trembled.
They even started helping each other to their feet, one after another.
From kneeling to standing, from avoiding to looking directly at each other.
They stood in the square, before Amora, daring to face Amora's oppressive presence.
All because of the appearance of that figure, which gave them the courage to challenge the unknown fears!
Amora sensed this change and instinctively tightened his grip on the Amora Scepter, his fingers beginning to turn slightly white.
She had clearly used magic to forcibly suppress the will of this group, making them kneel at her feet like lambs to the slaughter, at her mercy and at her beck and call.
The black devil simply stood there, doing nothing, yet shattered the superior atmosphere she had created.
Throughout the entire process, he did not release any pressure, did not say anything, and did not even adopt a fighting stance.
He just stood there, arms crossed, looking at her as if she were a landscape.
What a formidable opponent...
If we hadn't seriously offended this guy and had no other choice but to cooperate with that mad Titan...
I'm afraid I'll never want to have any contact with this monster again in my life...
Thinking of this, Amora took a deep breath. The Enchantress's mask was put back on in less than a tenth of a second, perfectly without a single crack.
A lazy smile appeared on her lips as she held the Mind Scepter horizontally in front of her, raising her chin to look up at Riley above the dome.
"You're finally here, Spider-Man. A little later than I expected... What's wrong? Is there rush hour traffic in Queens?"
Her voice regained its elegant composure, even carrying a hint of teasing, as if she were greeting an old friend.
Above the dome, Riley loosened his arms from his chest. With that signature relaxed tone that made countless villains grit their teeth, he responded unhurriedly.
"Sorry, sorry, I ran into a hot dog stand on the street and waited in line for a while. You know, just like the most authentic hamburger patties originated in Germany, Stuttgart hot dogs are quite different from those in New York; they're made with high-quality ingredients and worth trying. I just didn't expect..."
His tone suddenly changed, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he continued speaking with a kind expression.
"You went to such lengths tonight, attacking the concert and giving that so-called 'human weaknesses' speech in the square, just to stall me so that Barton and his crew could quickly take what they wanted? To be honest, I'm a little flattered. Usually, villains would just rob a bank or something to get my attention. But you went all out, booking the entire opera house and hiring hundreds of extras. You must have a big budget, huh?"
