I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 569 [3 Chapters Combined] Amora: You hit me, huh?!

Just as Amora was basking in his self-satisfaction and preparing to summon the Chitauri army to invade,

Little did anyone know that Gwen, who had received Tony's early warning, had been crouching on the very top of Stark Industries, observing from above for a full forty minutes.

In those forty minutes, she watched as Amora, with Riley's face on his back, swaggered into the building, watched as the group of henchmen followed behind, pushing several carts of heavy equipment, and watched as the power of the Ark Reactor on the ground floor of the building began to rise at an abnormal rate.

Several times, she almost couldn't resist rushing down to stop Amora's plot.

Especially when they saw Amora use Riley's fingerprint to open the bottom security door.

But Peter's repeated persuasion, especially his order forbidding anyone from engaging Amora without authorization before reinforcements arrived, acted like a tight band, severely restricting her movements.

Clearly, Peter is still the reliable Spider-Man, one of the few geniuses in the Marvel Universe.

With Riley, the "external brain," absent, Peter didn't act rashly based on instinct as usual. Instead, he suppressed all his impulsive and willful side, becoming the calmest combat squad leader in Stark Tower at that moment.

Furthermore, by spending every day with Riley and imitating him, he laid numerous ambushes inside Stark Industries.

District 13's highly trained agents were deployed at all key points, from the ground floor lobby to the rooftop. Even in buildings near Stark Industries, Peter had placed snipers.

Jackie Chan, Snake, and Bull Warrior were pre-arranged by Peter to be placed in a hidden compartment in Tony's office, and each was equipped with a high-voltage stun gun meticulously modified by Dr. Otto and a mist of fast-acting tranquilizer grenades formulated by Dr. Connors. This was to ensure that as many enemies as possible were taken down in the first instant of their attack.

With the strong support of District 13, Rhino men wearing custom-made heavy armor were deployed at the main entrance as the last line of physical defense.

Sheriff Black is in charge of overseeing the District 13 base, deploying troops to support frontline operations and maintain rear security. At the same time, he remotely connects to the Stark Industries security system to track the location of every enemy in real time and provide intelligence support to the combat teams.

Sandman and Max, in their elemental form, silently merged into the building, each guarding one of the two main entrances to the Arc Reactor deep underground. This was to prevent Amora from, as it had done when destroying the Helicarrier, from resorting to desperate measures and detonating the Arc Reactor, creating a scene of destruction and destruction.

Peter even considered the worst-case scenario.

If the situation gets out of control and the Chitauri army arrives, Peter will allow the first wave of Chitauri troops to invade.

Then, taking advantage of Amora's smugness and optimism that the plan was going smoothly, and their relaxed vigilance, even actively participating in the invasion, Peter and his men could launch a sudden attack, forcibly shut down the portal device, and cut off the Chitauri's reinforcements and retreat.

Then Peter will be able to lead a group of superheroes and agents in Operation "Closing the Door and Beating the Dogs" against the Chitauri who have already arrived on Earth. It won't be long before they can completely suppress these fools who have walked right into their trap.

Theoretically speaking, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this plan should be sufficient to take down all of Amora's men within three minutes of the operation taking place.

But Peter also understood in his heart...

Dealing with these mind-controlled minions, and even the subsequent invasion of the Chitauri army, could not change the current situation.

After all, the real formidable enemy is Amora.

Now, she not only possesses a long lifespan, but also wields various kinds of magic that are unimaginable and impossible for ordinary people to defend against...

What's worse is that Amora, who was originally a mage and had a major weakness in close combat, ended up occupying Riley's body, which was full of stats!

This led Peter to repeatedly simulate the situation in his mind, all concluding that even their current combined forces were probably no match for Amora—or rather, "Injustice Riley"—and that to avoid pointless sacrifices, even knowing that Amora was setting up extremely dangerous devices, Peter had to shoulder the responsibility of being the core of the team, restraining the participants, and continuing to wait for the right opportunity…

Tony and Thor flew back to New York from the space carrier.

Riley herself, as the female Thor, rejoins the battlefield.

Until any one of these variables appears that is enough to change the balance of power.

Before that, being impulsive was like walking into a trap, and being reckless was like dragging everyone to their deaths.

Meanwhile, because Peter had patiently explained to everyone beforehand the consequences of acting without authorization and repeatedly emphasized that unauthorized action was strictly prohibited, Gwen, despite her deep reluctance, could only obediently follow Peter's orders.

Even now, Gwen, in her invisible state, is less than thirty or forty meters away from the teleportation device. She can clearly hear Amora and Dr. Asakura's conversation and knows that they will soon activate the portal to send more enemies to New York City. She simply clenches her fists, bites her lip, and continues to patiently wait for the right moment.

Fortunately, although the waiting time was agonizing, it did not disappoint Peter and his companions.

Two dazzling meteors were seen streaking across the sky in the distance, hurtling towards them at an astonishing speed. They slowed abruptly as they approached Stark Industries, then came to a steady stop right in front of Amora and the others.

That was Thor and Tony, who had rushed back to New York City just in time after leaving the space carrier!

"Look what I've found! A thief who steals other people's bodies and trespasses on their property! Is this what they call an enchantress? Is this all you can do, these sneaky, shady things?"

During the flight, Tony had already learned about Peter's plans in advance through real-time communication.

So, as soon as he regained his footing, Tony activated the megaphone on his suit and began to mock Amora face-to-face without any politeness.

Upon hearing this, Amora visibly stiffened for a moment.

But when she turned around and saw that the figures hovering in mid-air were only Tony and Thor, and not the figure she truly feared, Amora's tense shoulders quietly relaxed.

As long as that ridiculously strong monster is gone, I, who now possess this powerful body, am invincible in the Central Court.

With that thought in mind, Amora showed no anger whatsoever in the face of Tony's sarcasm; instead, a smile slowly crept onto her lips.

"Who do we have here... an arrogant Midgard clown, a prince with nothing but brute force... You don't actually think the two of you can stop me right now, do you?"

When she responded, Amora's tone was languid and composed, carrying a gentle charm that had been ingrained in her bones for thousands of years.

However, this seductive charm, when applied to Riley's masculine and robust physique, became utterly grotesque and disgusting.

So much so that both Tony and Thor shuddered upon hearing these words. They even turned their heads away, looking as if they couldn't bear to look at them.

"Now you're scared? Too late, you idiot..."

However, Amora did not realize this and thought that the two were afraid of her now, so she became more and more excited.

As she spoke, she slowly walked towards the two of them from the tarmac.

Once she reached the center of the tarmac, she deliberately stretched her muscles—spreading her arms to the sides, pulling her shoulder blades back, and then slowly clenching her fists—with a cracking sound at the joints, the muscles in her arms visibly swelled a bit.

Clearly, even though the symbiote suit had long since been forcibly detached and returned to its true partner, the powerful attributes boosted by the system, combined with Spider-Man's superpowers, still imbued this seemingly ordinary young man's body with terrifying strength—enough to punch through an armored vehicle and go toe-to-toe with the Hulk!

It was precisely because of this pure numerical aesthetic that Amora, who used to only be able to hide in the shadows and resort to underhanded tricks, now slightly raised her chin. With an almost pitying look in her eyes, she stared straight at the two people in front of her and took the initiative to mock them.

"Come on, I'll play along with you for a bit... but don't say I'm bullying you. You can make the first move."

The moment she finished speaking, Amora raised her right hand and gently clenched her fist in the air. A dark green magical light burst forth from her palm, quickly condensing into a sharp magical longsword.

As the green flames on the sword danced silently, each pulse scorched the surrounding air, creating distorted waves of heat.

But she didn't rush to attack. She simply casually draped her longsword over her shoulder, tilted her head, and looked at the two opponents in front of her, whose expressions had clearly frozen.

The portal device hummed behind Amora, and the blue halo of the Cosmic Cube reflected on her back, making her look like a protagonist standing in the center of a stage, waiting for the applause and cheers of the audience.

Clearly, with Riley absent, Amora, who believed victory was assured, did not think the two men in front of him posed any real threat.

Furthermore, at this crucial juncture when the operation, which has been planned for so long, is about to succeed, the presence of a few more spectators will only make the taste of victory even sweeter and more delicious, especially against the backdrop of the audience's despair.

why not?

"Perfect. I was worried that no one would witness this moment."

Seeing that the two hesitated to attack her out of "fear," Amora's smile deepened. The magic longsword swayed gently on her shoulder, its tip drawing casual circles in the air.

"The Chitauri army will soon descend through this gate. You might as well save your energy and stand aside and watch—after all, the chance to witness the city you're desperately protecting being crushed into ruins doesn't come every day."

However, it was precisely this posture that drew Amora's attention completely to Tony and Thor.

So much so that she didn't notice...

Not far behind her, Gwen, who was keeping her invisibility, was silently climbing down the load-bearing beam.

In the blink of an eye, Gwen, who was becoming increasingly adept at using Spider-Man's superpowers, had already shortened the distance between herself and the portal device to less than ten meters.

For Gwen, who has already mastered Spider-Man's superpowers, even without shooting webs, the ten-meter distance is just a step away.

Of course, what she was planning to do next was not to take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Amora and fire the first shot in this battle.

Instead, they could sever the energy conduit, smash the conspicuous portal device, or simply steal the Tesseract...

Use every means at your disposal to prevent the portal from opening before Amora lets in the Chitauri army!

However, just as Gwen adjusted her dive posture, calculated her landing point, and prepared to launch her attack, her spider-sense suddenly activated without warning.

The stinging sensation was more intense than ever before, and the overwhelming sense of crisis that followed made Gwen decisively abandon her original attack plan. She performed several backflips against the wall, quickly retreating from her original position.

Just as Gwen retreated, Amora, who was standing in the center of the tarmac and seemed to have her attention focused on Thor and Tony, suddenly appeared out of thin air in the spot where Gwen had been standing!

At this moment, Amora, at some unknown time, activated the nanotech suit on Riley's body, transforming into the black Spider-Man look that Gwen knew all too well, which was very deceptive.

"Riley? You...!"

That figure she had seen countless times.

The figure who knocked her down on the training field and then reached out to pull her up.

That reliable figure who, whenever he appears on the battlefield, makes his teammates subconsciously relax, terrifies the enemy, and can always easily turn the tide of battle...

This caused Gwen's consciousness to momentarily waver.

If it weren't for the spider-sense, which was still relentlessly pricking Gwen's nape, Gwen might have subconsciously thought that Riley had successfully taken back his body!

Unfortunately, while Amora's current appearance is identical to Riley's in the past, she shows no mercy when she fights, clearly going for the kill!

The blazing magic longsword in his hand, combined with Riley's terrifying physical attributes, swung through the air with tremendous force. It sliced ​​through the air as easily as cutting through tofu, at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, striking the spot where Gwen had originally stood.

The wall was instantly cleaved open, creating a massive hole over two meters in diameter. The cut was as smooth as a mirror, with faint, inky black light, like embers left from the burning of green flames, still visible at the edges.

Even the concrete blocks that were chopped down couldn't withstand this terrifying force, shattering and flying out like shot. They crashed into another building not far away, leaving behind a dense, shocking array of transparent holes.

Such a terrifying scene made Gwen gasp and involuntarily take another step back.

If she had hesitated even for a fraction of a second, if she hadn't believed the warning from her spider-sense...

I would definitely be decapitated and die here right now!

"Oh, I've found you, you little mouse hiding your head and tail..."

Before Gwen could even catch her breath, she was astonished to discover that Amora seemed to have seen through her invisibility. Amora tilted her head slightly, her eye mask glowing faintly, its angle slightly curved, striking a smiling pose.

Undoubtedly, through countless attempts and explorations, she not only discovered the nanosuit, but also more or less compensated for the shortcomings of the symbiote's departure...

Now, the thermal imaging function of the nanosuit has been activated, making Gwen, who was originally in stealth mode, nowhere to hide!

The next second, before Gwen could react, Amora's body vanished from the spot once again.

Before her afterimage had faded from my retina, her real body appeared behind Gwen with a sonic boom that tore through the air.

With the system's support, she covered a distance of over ten meters in less than a tenth of a second. Gwen's spider-sense screamed wildly, sharper than ever before, but her body had no time to make any dodging movements.

"call out--!"

At this critical moment, a strand of pure white spider silk sped out from the shadows and struck Gwen precisely in the waist and abdomen.

Without any verbal communication, almost instinctively, Gwen leaped up without hesitation, surrendering her body entirely to the pull of the other end of the spider silk, offering no resistance.

It was precisely because of this unspoken understanding that Amora's whip kick barely grazed Gwen's scalp, allowing Gwen to avoid having her head explode like a watermelon and miraculously save her life.

Even so, the whip kick, infused with hundreds of tons of monstrous strength, was enough to slam into Gwen's head like an invisible hammer, just by the force of the impact. Her eardrums rang, and she saw stars. Her invisibility ability was completely rendered ineffective by the shockwave, along with the blurring of her consciousness.

Then it revealed itself to the public, like a puppet with its strings cut, flying over the tarmac and plummeting rapidly toward the ground.

Fortunately, Peter, who was using spider silk to save the day, also noticed this.

He saw Gwen being flung limply by the shockwave from the building opposite Stark Industries, and in that instant, he leaped out of the shadows, tracing a smooth parabola in mid-air. With one arm around her slender waist, he caught her securely in his embrace.

Then, while activating the Crown Prince's healing abilities to provide emergency treatment to Gwen, he shot out another spider silk with one hand, which stuck to a load-bearing steel beam at the top of the hall. Using the rebound force of the spider silk, he swung half a circle in the air, dissipating all the kinetic energy of the fall, and landed lightly on the ground.

Of course, Amora, who had conducted a thorough investigation into Riley, immediately wanted to attack Peter upon seeing him appear, taking him hostage. This would force Riley to hesitate and reveal even a fleeting weakness when he arrived on the battlefield.

Unfortunately, seeing that their attempt to divert attention had failed, Thor and Tony rushed straight to Amora the moment they realized what was happening.

Before Amora could react, the two landed in front of Peter and Gwen, keeping a close watch on Amora. This allowed Peter to relax for the time being and focus all his efforts on healing Gwen's injuries.

"Another little Spider-Man... Are the Spider-Men in your Midgard mass-produced?"

Seeing that he had lost a good opportunity to launch another surprise attack, Amora frowned slightly and retracted his leg that was hanging in mid-air.

After a brief pause, his gaze swept past Tony and Thor, settling on the silent Peter. He deliberately manipulated the nanotech suit to partially retract, revealing "Rie Parker's" face, and spoke with a mocking tone, each word distinct.

"Unfortunately, you're all just clumsy imitations of that monster... especially you, kid, you can't protect your brother or your girlfriend, you're a useless piece of trash!"

"What? Why are you staring at me? You're not happy? Come and hit me if you're not happy! Without your brother backing you up, what are you? Besides, this is your brother's body. I don't believe you can give it up..."

However, before Amora could finish speaking, a sharp pain shot through the back of her neck, and her vision blurred.

When Amora finally saw clearly, Peter, whose blindfold had shrunk and turned red, and who exuded an inexplicable sense of oppression, suddenly appeared in front of her. His right arm, bent back and gathering power, delivered a powerful punch straight at Amora's—or rather, Riley's—face!

Clearly, Amora, skilled at manipulating people and sowing discord, was unaware that...

Riley was indeed a reliable and respectable key member of the team, and a caring older brother to Peter.

But when Riley occasionally acted up due to his mischievous and cheeky side—for example, when he knew perfectly well that Gwen was the newly introduced Spider-Man, he deliberately played the riddle-maker, watching Peter walk right into a trap—he often made Peter grit his teeth in frustration.

Now, Amora actually dares to yell at Peter to beat him up, right in Riley's face?

Isn't that just like someone cosplaying as Xiao Hei's master, trying to get Xiao Hei to go easy on them?

Peter said that in all his years of life, he had never heard of such a strange request! It had to be granted!

"Puhaha—!!!"

The attack was swift and brutal. Amora, being a mage, lacked combat skills and relied entirely on Riley's physical attributes. Furthermore, while uttering threats, she assumed Peter would be restrained by "family ties," subconsciously lowering her guard. As a result, by the time Amora realized what was happening, she could only watch helplessly as Peter's iron fist grew larger and larger in her vision, until her entire face was dented from the impact!

The next second, Amora, who had taken the full force of the heavy punch, flew backward with a scream, like a centenarian cosplaying.

Not only did it smash through the specially made bulletproof glass behind it, but it also continued flying backwards without losing momentum, crashing into the small bar filled with various precious wines under Tony's distressed gaze...

Finally, like a skipping stone, it flew more than twenty meters across the hall before crashing into a dent over three meters in diameter, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading outwards from the point of impact. Amora collapsed into the dent, instinctively gasping for breath, revealing Riley's face, blood streaming from his nose. The bruise on his nose had spread to the edge of his eye socket, and a small gash was cut at the corner of his mouth.

Meanwhile, in order to absorb as much of the impact as possible and faithfully fulfill its duty to protect its master, the nanosuit is now on the verge of breaking apart.

The nanosuit on the shoulders was completely shattered and fell off.

The spider logo on his chest has also broken from a complete design into several mottled fragments.

This infuriated Amora, but also filled her with a sense of dread as she realized...

Although Peter usually appears honest and law-abiding, he is reluctant to use excessive force when fighting criminals.

But now it seems that, just like everyone else, I was completely fooled by Peter, that cunning old fox in sheep's clothing...

So much so that Amora forgot that Peter Parker was Riley Parker's younger brother.

The monster's brother must be a monster too!
