I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 567 Xiaoyu battles "Amora" again

As Tony's exclamation rang out, the group, gradually realizing the seriousness of the problem, quickly assigned tasks within ten seconds.

Tony activated the thrusters, and together with Thor, they soared into the sky towards New York.

During this time, Jarvis had already switched the communication channel to Peter's private line so that Tony could share the current situation with Peter, who remained in New York, as quickly as possible while Tony was flying at high speed.

Of course, even though this information was given by Tony himself, Peter was still visibly stunned when he heard that Riley's body had been taken by Amora.

"Um... I might not have understood, Tony."

After a two-second silence, Peter, trying hard to remain calm but with each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, asked Tony in a stiff, trembling voice to confirm.

"Are you kidding me? Riley is so strong, how could he possibly..."

"I wish I were joking, kid, but it's true. The 'Rie Parker' you know has become our enemy!"

"The Helicarrier is crashing, and Riley himself is trapped inside Amora's body and needs time to adjust. He won't be able to get there to help for a while... So, I need you to take charge and lead the people from Sector 13 to scout the area around Stark Tower. But don't go in, and definitely don't engage her. Wait until we arrive, understand?"

"...I understand, Tony, but I still want to ask...how is Riley doing? Is he alright?"

"He's fine. Apart from the body swap, there's been almost no impact. It seems..."

As Tony spoke, he glanced through the surveillance footage connected to Jarvis at the alluring figure carrying Mjolnir and leading Loki toward the medical area. His lips twitched involuntarily, and his tone became slightly strange.

"Hmm... never mind, you'll see when you get there."

Meanwhile, Riley had already pushed open the door to ward number three in the medical area.

Xiaoyu was sitting on the edge of the bed. Her black hair was a little messy, clearly the result of her scratching herself out of boredom. But thanks to the healing magic of the horse talisman, her injuries had already healed, and she looked very energetic.

The moment the door opened and "Amora" walked in confidently, she sprang up from the bed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Amora! How dare you show your face in front of me! Take this Little Jade Flying Kick! Eek—!!!"

The moment she finished speaking, Xiaoyu didn't give Riley any chance to explain.

He pushed off the edge of the bed with his right foot, leaping into the air. After spinning almost half a circle, his right leg, using the momentum, slashed straight down at the blonde woman in the doorway. The sole of his shoe drew a sharp arc in the cold white light of the medical area, the whistling sound it created was as sharp as a whip cracking through the air.

That kick was fast and powerful, and the angle was tricky.

Although Jade doesn't have any fancy superpowers, the martial arts skills taught by Uncle Jackie Chan, combined with the Super Soldier Serum provided by Riley, are enough to make her close-combat skills rank in the top half of the entire Section 13.

She once used this move to kick Alexei, a careless rhino, in the training field, sending him flying and even forcing Steve to raise his shield to block.

At that moment, she truly saw Riley as Amora herself.

Having invaded District 13, Skorch, now acting on her orders, nearly killed her...

With old and new grudges piled up, Xiaoyu's kick was delivered with all her might, using every ounce of her strength.

But Riley only tilted his head slightly.

His left ear brushed past Xiaoyu's shoe sole, his golden hair was lifted by the wind from his leg, yet he precisely avoided the most dangerous inch.

The range of motion was perfectly controlled; not even his feet moved.

While dodging to the side, he seized the opportunity to raise his right hand. In the instant his five fingers came together, he firmly gripped Xiaoyu's ankle. Taking advantage of the momentum of her flying kick, he twisted his waist to the side and threw her back towards the hospital bed.

Xiaoyu was swayed off course in the air, spinning uncontrollably in mid-air. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, bracing herself with one hand upon landing, performing a backflip to dissipate the remaining momentum, and landing behind the hospital bed with some distance between her and the ground.

Her brows furrowed, and she didn't immediately step forward again. Instead, she stared intently at the blonde woman at the door, who was nonchalantly withdrawing her hand.

Hmm, something seems off...

The Amora I knew was clearly a melee fighter who relied on magic and was not good at it.

However, the force-dissipating technique that "Amora" just demonstrated clearly incorporated the style of Tai Chi.

Looking across all of New York, the only person who would know this technique is my father, who, due to his advanced age, switched from a physics specialization to a powerful air magic user. Amora, an alien from Asgard, is even less likely to possess this ability! Unless…

"you……"

Xiaoyu's voice was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say the second half of the sentence.

Her gaze swept quickly across the newcomer's face.

My gaze swept from Amora's face to the black and white symbiotic Thor armor she wore, then to the Mjolnir hanging on her wrist, and finally landed on her eyes.

In those green eyes, there was no mockery or coldness like Amora's, only a kind of helpless affection that she was extremely familiar with.

Having watched the spectacle unfold, and knowing that Loki would surely be remembered by Riley if he didn't speak up to explain, he finally stepped forward with a faint smile. Standing beside Riley, he calmly explained to Jade, "Calm down, that grumpy little girl in Midgard, she's not Amora, she's actually..."

"Railley?!"

Xiaoyu spoke the name first.

Her voice was soft, as if she were talking to herself, but her tone was firm and left no room for argument. Her eyes were fixed on the face of the blonde woman in the doorway, her lips moved, and then she raised her right hand, pointed at Riley, her little face twisted into a frown, and complained to Riley in an annoyed tone.

"You scared me... Why did you suddenly turn into Amora? Change back right away, or I'll have nightmares if you talk with that face."

Riley opened his mouth, about to explain, but upon hearing the rest of Xiaoyu's words, he closed it again in frustration.

He glanced back at Loki, who nodded knowingly, spread his hands, and continued explaining to Jade.

"In fact, he can't go back to his original form now."

"Huh? What do you mean by 'can't turn back'?"

"It's the Mind Stone. Amora must have tampered with the scepter when Stuttgart surrendered. That's why Riley was tricked when he went to receive the scepter and ended up swapping bodies with Amora. And because of that, we just watched Amora throw the real Riley off a height of ten thousand meters—"

"Wait, you threw Riley off a plane thousands of meters high?! Are you crazy?!"

Xiaoyu's voice suddenly rose eight octaves, and the expression on her face changed from confusion to shock, and from shock to an anger that made Loki instinctively take a half step back.

"Ahem, because Amora possessed his body, we couldn't tell at the time..."

Loki was secretly surprised that a little girl from Midgard could exert such a heavy sense of pressure on him. He dared not continue his pretense and quickly focused on the key points, explaining concisely.

"She clearly studied Riley's behavior patterns in depth; the imitation was too perfect. And Riley was gagged, unable to speak, and locked in a glass cage—oh, and she was wearing high heels and tripped—"

Of course, Loki, who had been pranked by Riley many times, would not let go of this excellent opportunity for "revenge".

While seemingly remembering something suddenly and adding a sentence, Loki also thoughtfully used illusion magic to completely recreate everything that happened in front of Jade, just like a 3D movie.

Then, they quietly retreated to the corner, with a smile that suggested they were enjoying the spectacle, and handed the right of interpretation back to the parties involved.
