I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 171 Holy Lord: Why do I always feel a chill down my spine...?

The only thing that Tru was relieved about was that Riley didn't seem to show the slightest dissatisfaction or anger because of Afen's previous offense.

This made Tru pat his chest and breathe a sigh of relief.

But soon, Tru worried that Riley might be all smiles on the surface, but in reality, he had already planned out how the four of them would die. Once again, his heart was in his throat!

So much so that Tru, preoccupied with his anxieties, didn't notice...

Riley, who seemed to be focused on Ah Fen, was actually constantly glancing at Tru out of the corner of his eye.

Then, based on Tru's change in expression, Riley became convinced that Tru had indeed discovered his true identity long ago, just as he had guessed.

After all, on the very night Peter's identity was exposed, Peter immediately told Riley about the unexpected incident after the matter was over.

Therefore, Riley was certain that the Mafia, who were supposed to be on par with District 13, must have already discovered Spider-Man's true identity.

Even Nick Fury, that heartless bastard, likely discovered the truth after witnessing Peter's transformation. It's just that due to Commissioner Black's tight surveillance, he hasn't yet taken the initiative to visit Riley and have a talk.

However, when S.H.I.E.L.D. encounters trouble—such as a major crisis like an alien invasion—this wicked bastard will most likely still come after Riley.

Ahem, I've gone off on a tangent...

In conclusion, based on this speculation, Riley, who has always been careful to keep his personal identity secret in front of outsiders, would dare to be so bold as to put on his armor directly in front of the four members of the Black Hand Gang.

What? You're asking what happens if Riley guesses wrong, and the Mafia doesn't actually know any of this, and foolishly created a suicide truck?

Hahaha!

That would definitely involve using the secret physical memory erasure method passed down in District 13 to erase this shameful dark history!

Fortunately, the Mafia's display of intelligence saved Riley from overestimating his opponents and falling into the embarrassing situation of a fool defeating a master. With his identity revealed, he also became the savior in the eyes of the Mafia's four members.

Without Riley's prompting, the four members of the Black Hand gang started talking all at once, describing Valmont's various unusual behaviors and expressing their hope that Riley could temporarily put aside past grievances and help them save their boss from his predicament.

Of course, after hearing the description from the four members of the Black Hand gang, Riley immediately realized that this might be someone who had secretly "hitched a ride" when he returned to this universe with Peter and the others after going back in time.

That is, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Shendu, who was defeated by Riley and was left with only his soul.

Furthermore, in this universe, the Dark Qi, already troubled about how to strengthen the villains to contend with the rising righteous forces and constantly pondering countermeasures, took notice. He accelerated the plot, helping the Holy Lord of this other world possess Valmont's body.

This explains why Valmont was able to quickly pinpoint the exact location of the five talismans and acquire them all. He was even certain that Jade would open a time tunnel to the past when she obtained the Rabbit Talisman, and therefore arranged for the Black Hand gang of four to lie in wait on Jade's usual route to school.

Because in a sense, Shendu, who comes from another parallel universe and has already experienced these things in his battles of wits and courage with Uncle Long and his group, is a "second-time" player, just like Riley.

Especially regarding the plot of "Jackie Chan Adventures", Shendu, as one of the parties involved, clearly knows more than Riley!

Yes, of course, this only applies to the Twelve Talismans and the Eight Great Demons chapters.

In the later episodes, Shendu is either sealed away by his father or dragged into the Marvel Cinematic Universe to become Riley's deliveryman, so he has no chance to know what happens next.

However, these alone are enough to bring about a dramatic change in the Mafia's intelligence gathering capabilities. They will no longer be led by the nose by Riley as before!

And in that parallel universe, just like the scene shown by the Ancient One, because Riley left in advance and failed to meet Tru, who was suspected by Valmont, Jade was unable to escape the influence of the Shadow Legion and continued to serve as the Queen of the Shadow Legion.

Therefore, the Holy Lord, who was captured by Jade and was responsible for deciphering the Encyclopedia of Magic, was able to take this opportunity to further master the methods of using the Shadow Legion.

It was only through the Shadow Legion's teleportation ability that Shendu was able to turn the tables and achieve a tie with Riley in terms of the number of talismans collected in this universe!

Unfortunately, the Holy Lord, who has always looked down on humans and schemes against his demon brethren, often deceiving each other, clearly underestimated the brilliance of humanity.

They also greatly underestimated the deep and unshakable bond between the Mafia quartet and Valmont!

So much so that the Holy Lord never imagined that the four members of the Black Hand Gang, whom he despised the most and called trash, would see through his conspiracy at such a crucial moment!

Even knowing that following the Holy Lord's plan would make it more likely to defeat Jackie Chan and his group in order to save their leader.

Despite the risk of being beaten up by Spider-Man, the four members of the Mafia gang decided to seek help from Riley and betray Shendu!

So, facing the pitiful figure who constantly tried to please them, and who personally promised that as long as Riley was willing to find a way to save Valmont, even if it meant going to jail together, they would do it willingly.

Whether it's to eliminate the Holy Lord from a parallel universe, or to remove this unstable factor that brings harm to the world.

Or perhaps it was from a personal perspective that Riley was moved by the deep camaraderie shown among the members of the Mafia.

Riley smiled and nodded, agreeing to the Black Hand gang's request, saying that once they returned to their original timeline, they would find a way to rescue their beloved boss.

Yes, that's a promise made out of a superhero's sense of responsibility.

It wasn't because Riley's murderous intent surged instantly after hearing the goofy Rasul add that Shendu planned to use this time travel, even if he didn't obtain the Rabbit Talisman, to kill Uncle Dragon and Uncle, and even younger versions of Ben Parker and Mae Parker—a truly insidious order. He suddenly wanted to taste dragon meat to see if it was as delicious as the legends said!

Of course, before officially starting the rescue of Valon, Riley did not forget another important goal of the trip—to complete the history.

With the Ancient One's reminder in modern society, Riley first visited the younger version of her father through Jackie Chan's introduction. She told the younger version of her father that Jade was Jackie Chan's niece, that her father would soon follow the Archmage to learn Chi Magic, that Shendu was trying to collect the twelve talismans to resurrect, and the abilities that each of the twelve talismans represented.

During this process, Riley didn't forget to take out the talismans he possessed, as well as a relatively still video clip he had "accidentally" filmed while searching for the Sheep Talisman, showing an adult version of Jackie Chan running on a train. This further proved that they were indeed from the future.

To ensure that the younger version of Daddy survives until 2008, when he and Riley from the "future timeline" meet for the first time but are actually "reunited" across time, Daddy can stand up for Riley at crucial moments, dispel Uncle Jackie's doubts about Riley.

Using this as an opportunity, Riley could then leverage the deep friendship between Sheriff Black and Uncle Dragon—one of them could drug the other upon meeting, while the other couldn't even remember the other's birthday—to naturally gain Sheriff Black's trust.

This was so that the fledgling Parker brothers, during the most difficult early stages of their heroic careers, would have a large, secret organization like Section 13 as a solid backing. This would protect the Parker brothers, save them a lot of trouble, and accelerate their growth.

Then, Riley, who had gradually realized how to get Jade to obey, decided to instruct Jade to stay at the cassette store for the time being and keep an eye on the four members of the Black Hand Gang.

He went to the New York Sanctum alone. There he met the Ancient One, who, in this timeline, had anticipated Riley's visit after sensing the fluctuations in the time tunnel and making some deductions.

In this situation, since Riley himself had already gotten wet in the rain, therefore...

You absolutely cannot keep this "surprise gift" to yourself!

I must tear my past self's umbrella to shreds!

Let "him" experience firsthand just how stimulating and exhilarating it is to be startled by a supreme boiled egg!

Driven by this extremely perverse sense of humor, this person is a morbidly amusementist who doesn't even spare himself.

No, wait, that's not right. It should be said that in order to complete history and ensure that the world moves towards a better future, they were willing to sacrifice themselves—this noble and great spirit!

Riley had barely met the Ancient One when he got straight to the point, telling her everything about himself as a transmigrator from another world, when he was born into this world, how he planned to deal with the series of events that followed during his time as Spider-Man...

in other words……

Under normal circumstances, even someone as powerful as the Ancient One could not possibly break through the system's protection and know Riley's background so clearly.

Riley, who is entirely from the "future," has really screwed over her "past" self!

As a result, Riley, who originally only wanted to hide and develop his strength and ensure the safety of his family when he obtained Spider-Man's power, was tricked by his future self!

After realizing the seriousness of the problem, they were forced to take the initiative, embarking on the current path of frantic involution!

It was from this moment that Riley officially achieved the feat of "I screwed myself over"...

History has been completed, and time has thus formed a perfect closed loop!
