Chapter 237 The Avengers from Another Universe Arrive!
Chapter 237 The Avengers from Another Universe Arrive!
Seeing everyone's dejected appearance, Toby shook his head and didn't offer any words of comfort.
It is said that rumors stop with the wise, but unfortunately, all the wise people in New York have gone to the criminals.
It can be said that after the news of Spider-Man being framed first spread, the people who believed Spider-Man was innocent were not those Spider-Man had saved, but those Spider-Man had fought against and imprisoned.
The saying "Only your opponent truly understands you" is becoming increasingly valuable.
And don't be fooled by the New Yorkers' cries for the Spider-Man family's return; it's not because they believe the Spider-Men were wrongly accused, but because they're afraid...
They just want Spider-Man to reappear and solve their problems as usual.
Believe it or not, as long as the Spider-Men reappear and help them solve the current troubles in New York, once the storm has subsided, even without the Skrulls jumping out to frame them again, those old stories will be dug up again by those with ulterior motives, allowing those ignorant citizens to once again hurl insults at the Spider-Men.
So, it's not enough to teach these people a lesson now; we need to instill a deep-seated fear in them!
This will instill in them the extreme fear that should they ever want to openly criticize the Spider Family again, so that even if the Spider Family does something wrong, they will no longer be easily intimidated by public opinion!
The only people present who remained as calm as they were a month ago, before the storm surrounding the Spider Family began, besides Toby, were probably Tony.
Toby didn't really care about the lives of those ignorant people. In his view, stupidity comes at a price, it's just that this time the price might be a tiny bit too much for them to accept...
Tony wasn't indifferent; rather, he simply hadn't had time to pay attention to the turmoil in New York for the past month.
This past month, he's been busy building the quantum tunnel and working with Dr. Banner and the others to create Ultron. He's so busy he feels like he's working 24/7. He has no time to worry about his scandals or the turmoil in New York...
Moreover, what scandals could the Skrulls possibly cause for a former playboy and arms dealer?
After all, before he cleared his name, countless people died from his weapons, and countless cover girls he slept with. The Skrulls love to spread rumors about him, so let them spread them. At most, it will just add a few more glorious achievements to his scandalous past!
Tony is actually more energetic now than he was a month ago!
Because... he succeeded!
This time, Toby wasn't sitting on either side of the conference table; instead, he stood opposite him with a confident smile: "Hey guys, why are you all so downcast? It's just some slanderous news, is it really necessary to take it so seriously?"
"Once we wipe the Skrulls out completely, the rumors will fall apart on their own, okay?!"
"Now, everyone, listen to the two pieces of good news that this genius has for you today!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room turned their attention to Tony, but instead of the joy he had imagined, their eyes remained dim.
Perhaps their innocence can indeed be proven again after the Skrulls are identified and wiped off the face of the earth...
But their hearts, already riddled with wounds, can never go back to what they were before...
In just one month, it felt like they had lived a lifetime, witnessing the darkest side of humanity...
Even if they are exonerated now, they will be the beloved spider family again.
But honestly, can they still help those who once insulted them with the same sincerity as before?
Even Peter, at this moment, couldn't bring himself to give himself a definite answer...
Not to mention Harry and Max, who are villains in the original books and members of the Spider Family. The fact that they haven't turned into supervillains like the Green Goblin and Electro is already a testament to Toby's skill!
Otherwise, those citizens who spew filth would be eating pumpkin bombs and 100,000 volts right now!
Tony waited for a long time but didn't hear a single cheer, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "Ahem, it seems that everyone is not very enthusiastic. Well then, I won't keep you in suspense any longer and will announce the first piece of good news first."
"The good news is that, in addition to the time-travel bracelet Miguel gave us before, I have successfully mastered our own method for traveling to other universes: the quantum channel!"
After saying that, Tony snapped his fingers: "Hey, Jarvis, activate the quantum tunnel."
[Received, sir, quantum channel is open...]
This time, Tony didn't place the quantum tunnel anywhere else, but installed it right here in the conference room of the Parker Building where they are currently having a meeting!
Suddenly, the wall behind Toby, which originally bore the long-legged spider logo of the Spider Family, split open from both sides, revealing a futuristic circular passageway inside!
As the passage was activated, figures emerged from the swirling white light.
Among these figures, the first one to burst out of the light and shadow was a figure dressed in a spider suit!
He is Spider-Man from another universe, a very young Peter Parker!
As soon as he stepped out, Little Peter excitedly looked around the conference room: "Wow, is this another universe with a spider family?"
"And this dark meeting environment is so cool! I feel like I've stepped into a real DC universe. Speaking of which, am I about to meet my counterpart from another universe? Oh, and where are the other Spider-Men?"
Just then, a red hand, ignoring Peter's spider-sense, wrapped its arm around his shoulder and appeared cheekily in Peter's ear:
"It's a pity, little bug, that author hasn't opened the portal to the DC Universe yet. This is just a parallel universe of Marvel, but what's happening here right now is even darker than some events in the DC Universe~"
Peter turned around at the sound and saw that it was Deadpool, who had saved his life during the attack on the Heirs!
This made Peter even more excited: "Wow! Deadpool, you're here too! I didn't even have a chance to thank you last time before you left!"
Deadpool winked at Peter: "Hehe, if you say thank you, that means you don't consider me a friend. I'm every little bug's best buddy!"
