I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 563 Murder to Silence

But just as Amora's finger was about to fall...

Tony's voice suddenly cut in.

"Wait a moment!"

"...What's wrong?"

Amora's hands stopped, her eyes darting around rapidly several times behind her mask. But when she spoke, she still displayed Riley's usual lazy and casual demeanor, revealing no flaw whatsoever.

Are you sure you're alright?

Tony took a few steps forward and tapped his temple.

"After you suddenly fainted in the command center, although the medical staff checked and confirmed that you were not injured, and you said you were fine... I still think you must be exhausted and need to rest."

"Tony is right. Besides, Amora has already been captured and has expressed her willingness to cooperate... I still think we shouldn't rush to execute her. We should interrogate her first."

No sooner had Tony finished speaking than Steve chimed in with his own opinion.

It's just that their positioning, whether intentional or not, is questionable...

Tony and Steve stood precisely to Amora's left and right, respectively, behind her, effectively blocking any room for her to dodge.

"I just want to resolve this problem as quickly as possible."

Amora also noticed this and realized that it was her small step back earlier that might have aroused their suspicion.

So she quickly adjusted her tone, mimicking Riley's style of action as much as possible, and responded without backing down.

"You know my principle: if something can be resolved today, don't put it off until tomorrow."

"But if that's really what you're thinking, why bring her back to the space carrier? Isn't that redundant and just adding unnecessary risk?"

However, no sooner had Amora finished speaking than Natasha spoke up coldly and continued to interrogate her aggressively.

"Rieley, as far as I know you, if you truly believed she was uncontrollable, you would have killed her in public the moment she surrendered... Don't tell me you're worried about it affecting the image of 'Spider-Man.' You didn't hesitate at all when you single-handedly slaughtered drug dealers all over the world."

Natasha's words seemed to awaken someone from a dream, causing everyone's gaze to simultaneously fall on "Riley".

Under the intense scrutiny of these eyes, Amora appeared outwardly calm and collected. However, beneath the mask, her face was contorted with rage, as if she wanted nothing more than to tear these three meddlesome individuals to shreds on the spot.

"...Okay, okay."

Unfortunately, just like Riley was not suited to Amora's body.

While Riley Parker's body is incredibly strong, Amora still needs time to adapt to this new form. She's completely unsure whether she can single-handedly defeat all the Avengers present in this condition.

So, after a brief silence, she raised her hands in a rather comical gesture of surrender.

That was a perfect imitation of Riley's usual movements, down to the exact degree of his shoulder shrugging.

"I admit I was a bit hasty, but I'm really fine... How about this, since you all feel this is inappropriate, let's vote? Democratic decision, fair and just... I think Amora should be executed immediately. Who's in favor, who's against?"

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and a brief silence fell outside the cage.

As previously debated, there was actually more than one person who supported executing Amora on the spot regarding how she should be dealt with.

So when Amora suggested using a vote to solve the problem, she undoubtedly succeeded in diverting everyone's attention.

Inside the cage, Riley finally managed to stand up with difficulty. Barefoot, he had one leg higher than the other, making it impossible for him to maintain a proper standing posture.

But there was not a trace of panic in Amora's green eyes.

His gaze swept over everyone through the glass curtain wall.

Finally, it stopped on Thor, as if waiting for something.

Amora's gaze swept over the silent crowd, and her smile tightened slightly.

She realized that Tony had begun to doubt her, and the only reason he hadn't completely broken ties with her was because he lacked substantial evidence.

Moreover, Riley only had his body forcibly replaced, but his mind was completely unaffected.

In this situation, the longer the delay, the easier it is for that underworld entity to come up with a plan to turn the tide and break the deadlock.

So, after scanning the room and confirming that everyone's attention had temporarily shifted away from him, he...

Amora showed no mercy, turning around, raising her right hand, smashing the bulletproof glass with a punch, and forcefully pressing the large red button next to her!

In an instant, the locking mechanism of the glass curtain wall emitted a low hum.

The floor beneath the circular cage began to move rapidly. The cold white light was diluted by the gray mist pouring in from below. The cold wind from high above rushed in through the gaps in the floor, causing the unsuspecting crowd to stagger and fall.

The next second, the cage's locking mechanism completely disengaged. The entire glass cell began to plummet downwards at breakneck speed. In the blink of an eye, it vanished completely into the clouds!

"This guy is truly impossible to guard against...!"

Meanwhile, seeing Riley act first and ask questions later, Tony became even more convinced that Riley, just like last time when his mind was warped by Mr. Negative, had been successfully tricked by Amora and was in some kind of trouble.

"Huh? What's going on... Mjolnir! Where are you going! Come back—!!!!"

Before Tony could even steady himself and put on his Iron Man suit, frowning and muttering to himself, Mjolnir, which Thor casually hung at his waist, suddenly began to tremble violently.

Before Thor could even realize something was wrong, he reached for his precious hammer. Mjolnir flew from his waist, leaving a trail of blinding blue electricity, hurtling through the still-open hatch towards the rapidly falling glass cage!

"What's going on!"

The series of unexpected events inexplicably instilled a strong sense of crisis in Tony.

Without hesitation, he opened the briefcase, donned the Iron Man suit as quickly as possible to gain a sense of security, and then, while coldly questioning Thor, quietly gathered his energy. This was to prevent Thor from being mind-controlled by "Amora" and attacking everyone without their knowledge.

"Thor, did you do this? So you couldn't bear to watch your old flame die like that?"

"It wasn't me! You heard it yourself, I wanted it to come back! But it wouldn't listen to me!"

Fortunately, Thor has always been straightforward and doesn't engage in riddles.

Faced with Tony's questioning, Thor's voice was full of confusion, mixed with a hint of grievance, like a child who had been wrongly accused of stealing food.

Ignoring the threat of Tony's palm cannon, he strode to the edge of the railing and stared intently at the receding blue arc of electricity.

"Someone else has summoned my hammer!"

Thor's willingness to entrust his entire back to Tony dispelled any doubts Tony might have had.

Then, the mask was lifted, revealing a puzzled expression, just like Thor's, while the charging process of the palm cannon did not stop.

Without anyone noticing, with Jarvis's help, they changed their target to "Riley".
