Chapter 70 The mysterious man actually took it
"Not bad, it finally seems to be getting interesting."
Arthur's originally lazy eyes now held a hint of battle desire.
He had already planned to go all out.
Although he had encountered Dormammu before, dealing with someone who could resurrect infinitely was truly meaningless.
However, Odin seemed much more interesting; he wanted to truly witness Odin's real strength!
After all, Odin was clearly going all out, and he couldn't keep being so lackadaisical.
The next second, a dark red light emanated from his body.
Beneath the clothes, the Twelve Talismans glowed.
If he hadn't been afraid of causing too much of a stir, he would have tried that ancient World-destroying technique long ago.
Another point was that, against Odin, there was no need to actively seek death.
He wasn't looking for trouble; why would he give away a few heads?
Boom!
"For the glory of Asgard!" Odin roared as he charged at Arthur, his Eternal Spear swinging out.
With a single movement, a powerful energy was unleashed, and countless golden lights swept towards Arthur, covering the sky and earth.
This terrifying force instantly destroyed everything around them.
Rocks shattered, and the dark clouds in the sky were torn apart, turning into falling rain.
Under the dark red light, it was as if blood rain was falling.
Boom!
Arthur was enveloped by the dark red Phoenix Force, and his body flickered violently.
Instantly, a huge bang erupted, and Arthur's speed was so fast that he carved out a rain-free space in the rain.
The next second, the two collided.
One dark red, one golden light, shot straight into the sky, each occupying half of the heavens.
"It's over, Odin must have won!"
Hela gritted her teeth; she had actually known all along that Odin had this ability—
To return to his strongest state for a period of time.
It just required time to cast.
But Arthur had no intention of interrupting him.
Once Odin unleashed this skill, he would become incredibly terrifying, no longer looking like a dying old man.
"Father will definitely kill that Arthur!"
Thor excitedly clenched his fists, as golden and red lights intertwined in the sky, like countless rays constantly colliding and separating.
Inside the Kun-Style Fighter Jet, the Avengers had complex expressions.
They didn't want to see the two sides fight at all; no matter who won, it wouldn't be a good thing.
The next second, the two figures almost simultaneously disappeared.
The light collisions became faster and faster, as red and black energies constantly clashed.
The sky continuously vibrated, and one could even see the air distorting due to the high temperature.
Odin continuously poured power into the Eternal Spear, twisting his hands, and the long spear instantly erupted with endless might, creating violent winds in the air, with visible waves of energy surging.
The divine spear instantly thrust fiercely towards Arthur.
Facing this powerful strike, Arthur's eyes burned with battle intent, and he directly met it with a punch.
Bang!
The moment the physical body took the blow, it was accompanied by a hum.
Odin's arms suddenly went numb!
"How is this possible? This is a divine artifact!"
Odin's expression changed drastically, then he was consumed by rage, continuously swinging the long spear.
One strike!
Two strikes!
Three strikes!
With each strike, the power continuously stacked, and the might grew stronger and stronger.
But Arthur endured all of them with his body!
"The gods don't seem to be able to help you."
Arthur's mouth curved into a slight, mocking smile as he looked at the Eternal Spear in Odin's hand: "Eternal Spear? It's nothing more than that!"
Odin watched Arthur's nonchalant demeanor, his body trembling with anger, as he poured all his strength into the Eternal Spear.
Endless destructive aura permeated the air.
This mere aura instantly dispersed the dark clouds in the sky.
Odin channeled all his power into the spear and swung it fiercely.
A golden torrent spewed from the spear tip, and golden light covered the sky and earth, enveloping the entire land.
…
14.6%
21:38
The golden radiance illuminated the earth, containing an extremely terrifying power.
At this moment, half of the sky was covered by golden light.
From a distance, it looked like fiery red cumulonimbus clouds and golden clouds in a standoff.
Like a golden waterfall pouring down, it rushed towards Arthur with astonishing power.
This was an attack filled with destructive power.
Everyone was stunned.
Because with just this one spear, the entire land trembled violently.
"Boss, detecting that the power of this attack is equivalent to a magnitude 10 earthquake!"
Friday quickly reported the situation.
With such power, they couldn't possibly let the Kun-Style Fighter Jet get close.
Let alone getting close, even staying here might cause them to be affected.
"This spear… isn't this the Spear of the Meteor?!"
Thor was also stunned; his father was finally serious!
How many people in the World had truly seen the "Spear of the Meteor" or the "Lost Divine Spear of the Heavens"?
He hadn't expected his father to use such a powerful move at this time.
He had only heard his mother mention before that Odin's strongest strike was the Spear of the Meteor, but it had almost never been used, because this move was almost equivalent to his last trump card.
To unleash this move, at least most of his internal power would be consumed.
It was said that Odin would only use this move when he couldn't win. It could even be said that this move could penetrate the blue planet without a problem!
"Arthur!"
The Goddess of Death, Hela, saw this scene, and her expression changed drastically.
She leaped up fiercely, and green light began to gather in her hand.
Because this move was too powerful, she had to go forward and help immediately.
But just as she flew halfway into the air, the violent aftershocks had already struck.
The energy she had gathered simply couldn't block these attacks.
After all, this was Odin's full-power strike; it was simply not something she could withstand.
Moreover, she was now seriously injured, and even standing steadily was already very difficult.
So, wanting to block Odin's full-power Meteor Spear was simply like a dream.
Even in their prime, they could only barely withstand the aftershshocks.
Inside the Kun-Style Fighter Jet,
"What should we do now?"
Steve asked with a serious expression.
Because they should have been on You-Know-Who's side.
After all, You-Know-Who would at least help them protect the blue planet, while Odin wouldn't care about the blue planet's survival.
Furthermore, You-Know-Who was also Wanda's boyfriend; if he hadn't appeared before, they would have already split internally.
Because of this, Steve had already decided to stand on You-Know-Who's side.
"What else can we do? Do you think we can intervene in this battle?!"
Tony's expression was complex; he gritted his teeth and shook his head with a helpless look.
Even if all his mechs were deployed, he wouldn't be able to intervene in such a battle.
This level of confrontation was simply not something the Avengers could meddle with.
And he also knew that the only thing they could do now was to wait.
Although he felt very helpless, there really was no other way.
This was reality; people without enough strength were no different from ants.
"Let me down!"
Wanda gritted her teeth and quickly walked to the front of the Kun-Style Fighter Jet, preparing to open the rear hatch.
She felt that terrifying aura and worried that Arthurmight…
Although Arthur had always given her a feeling of omnipotence, this time was different.
This was Odin, the King of Gods; she absolutely couldn't sit by and do nothing.
"Wanda! Calm down!"
Tony immediately stood up and stopped her.
"Get out of the way, I'm going to save my boyfriend!"
She didn't know what would happen to her after she went down, but even if they died together, she couldn't watch Arthur be in danger.
And she possessed Chaos Magic; even if she could only help a little, it might still alleviate Arthur's pressure.
"If you really want to help him, don't go over and cause trouble!"
Tony gritted his teeth, his voice heavy: "He can't be distracted right now; your appearance will only distract him!"
It had to be said that Tony saw through the situation at a glance, although he didn't know if You-Know-Who could win.
But all they could do was watch helplessly; it wasn't that they didn't want to help.
It was that rash action might make things worse.
Moreover, all of them combined were no match for Odin's single move.
In this situation, even letting her down wouldn't be of much use.
"But—"
Wanda gritted her teeth, her eyes slightly red.
"Wanda, I know you're worried, but you have to think about the current situation!"
Rhodey also spoke up to persuade her at this time.
Boom!
At the exact same time, Odin's full-power strike fiercely slammed into Arthur.
The moment he threw this spear, it was as if only that golden light remained between heaven and earth.
This golden light, like a bolt of lightning, instantly flew towards Arthur.
As this golden power pressed down, everything around them changed.
The black particles, originally like fine black lines, were swept away by this terrifying power.
From a distance, it looked like a black mist, blown far away by the impact of the golden light.
This strike was enough to destroy everything!
The entire land collapsed, and the terrifying energy fluctuations caused all the surrounding plants to wither and disappear.
Even the entire Northern Hemisphere was shaken.
The ocean began to churn violently, and the powerful fluctuations even caused waves dozens of meters high.
The schools of fish at the bottom of the sea frantically swam deeper, but they still couldn't escape and were swept into the waves.
The East Coast consequently experienced a tsunami.
At this moment, everyone in the Northern Hemisphere could feel that intense vibration.
Although it was only for a brief moment, everyone on the streets couldn't stand steadily.
Even vehicles on the road lost control, leading to successive rear-end collisions.
But people didn't care about these things; they all instinctively looked up at the sky.
They saw a golden light flickering on the horizon, a light that seemed to penetrate heaven and earth.
They saw it clearly, and their hearts were instantly filled with fear.
Because it felt as if the end of the World had come.
"What exactly is going on?"
"Is the end of the World here?"
"What exactly is that golden light?"
People in New York saw it even more clearly.
That pillar of light seemed to pierce through heaven and earth; they couldn't see its end at all.
The only thing they could see was that this golden light had already covered the entire sky.
And around the pillar of light, the clouds rotated rapidly like a whirlpool.
When the golden light gradually disappeared, a desolate land appeared on the ground, and the divine spear tore out a huge canyon that stretched to the horizon.
Towering heat waves permeated the air; although it was only the aftershocks of the battle, in that huge deep pit, one could see melting rocks and scorched earth.
It was as if it had been bombarded by countless bombs.
The canyon stretched as far as the eye could see.
However, above the canyon, amidst the rolling heat waves, a figure stood quietly.
His face held an indescribable smile.
"I didn't expect this move of yours to be quite interesting; it almost hurt me."
Arthur slowly walked out, a slight smile on his face, gently patting the dust off his body: "Unfortunately, it's still not strong enough!"
To be honest, he could have dodged that strike just now, but after thinking about it, he couldn't really destroy half of the blue planet, could he?
So he simply stood in front of that energy, and besides, he himself wanted to try how powerful it truly was.
It had to be said that Odin's strength was indeed good; if he hadn't obtained another fragment of the Phoenix Force, he probably wouldn't have been able to block this strike.
The unfortunate thing was that there weren't so many 'ifs' in the World.
"You-Know-Who actually took it?!"
Steve suddenly stood up, his eyes almost popping out.
If he wasn't mistaken, that You-Know-Who had directly taken this move head-on.
And he hadn't even moved; let alone his hands, even his clothes were still clean.
"I didn't expect You-Know-Who's power to be even stronger than Odin's!"
Tony's voice was a little shaky, because this power was simply too terrifying.
It had even exceeded his imagination; this kind of power was simply not something humans could possess.
Although he thought You-Know-Who was very strong, he had never imagined that he could not only take it but also remain completely unharmed.
This meant that You-Know-Who's strength far surpassed Odin's!
"He really caught it! He actually did it!"
Wanda covered her mouth, her eyes slightly red.
Chapter 71 What a pity
Just now, she thought Odin was about to collapse, but she didn't expect Arthur to be completely fine.
This shows that Arthur's power far exceeds her expectations.
You know, that's Odin, the King of Gods!
He's already the strongest existence in the World!
"How did he do that? This is impossible!"
"This is the Eternal Spear; even the Celestials can't block it!"
"The Eternal Spear can pierce through everything, but it has no effect on Arthur?!"
Hela was completely stunned. She had seen Odin fight the Celestials.
At that time, Odin used the Eternal Spear to decide the outcome.
But now, this move, Odin's most proud attack, was completely ineffective against Arthur.
She trembled as she looked at Arthur, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
In other words, even like this, no one could do anything to Arthur.
She didn't expect that she had followed such a powerful person.
Even Odin, whom she had always hated, was no match for Arthur!
"Impossible! Did I see wrong? This is absolutely impossible!"
"Father is the strongest, why can this guy take it?"
"Did he borrow the power of a Demon God? But even a Demon God couldn't block it so easily!"
Thor was even more incredulous. He couldn't believe that his invincible father had actually lost!
"So strong!"
After Odin used this move, the energy in his body rapidly drained, and his originally youthful face instantly aged considerably.
He weakly plunged the Eternal Spear into the ground, his legs trembling, almost falling.
Elderly as he was, he could no longer use his divine power.
Odin's power was completely depleted.
He looked up at Arthur in the sky, his heart full of questions, not understanding why such a powerful attack of his was blocked.
You know, this was the move he was most proud of in his life, yet it didn't even injure a Midgardian, nor did it cause any harm to the opponent.
He had fought countless enemies, but he had never felt such helplessness.
In fact, from the very beginning of their encounter, he had sensed that this person hadn't truly made a move, as if he was just practicing with him, with a hint of disdainful smile on his face.
Even when his invincible fist struck the opponent, he only felt the opponent's body was exceptionally solid.
You know, he could easily crush Vibranium, but he was helpless in front of Arthur!
However, Arthur acted as if nothing had happened, landing easily on the ground, hands in his pockets, looking at Odin leisurely.
He walked slowly towards Odin as if strolling in his own backyard, a smile on his lips, like greeting an old friend.
"You lost."
"I... indeed lost."
Odin's face was full of disappointment, and his body swayed, directly kneeling to the ground.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, the facts were before him.
When Odin knelt on one knee, the atmosphere in the entire arena instantly solidified.
Thor couldn't help but take a step back. Although unwilling, he could only lower his head and admit defeat.
He gritted his teeth and slowly knelt down.
The army Odin brought also knelt down one after another.
"Since you all lost, Hela is the new King of Asgard!"
Arthur said calmly.
The reason he said this was not to harm the people of the God Realm, but to help them through the coming crisis.
The current Hela would be a good ruler, and more importantly, this might prevent the occurrence of Ragnarok.
He didn't want to have to run to save these so-called Gods then.
Moreover, although Hela had always hated Odin, she wasn't clueless about what to do.
"Good."
Odin looked at Hela in the distance with a complex expression, his eyes revealing a hint of sadness, fatigue, and an indescribable emotion.
He propped himself up and handed the Eternal Spear to Hela.
"I was truly wrong, maybe you are right."
Odin said, lowering his head.
Hela took the Eternal Spear, looked at the weapon in her hand, and looked at Arthur with complex eyes.
"Arthur, I'll be leaving first."
After she finished speaking, a strange look flashed in her eyes: "Don't worry, I'll be back after I've handled things."
After seeing Arthur nod, she turned and left.
She gathered everyone and activated the Bifrost Bridge to teleport away.
Arthur watched them leave.
"Arthur!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind him.
Arthur turned around and saw Wanda flying over, directly pouncing on him.
Like an octopus, she hugged him tightly.
"Wanda?"
Arthur felt the warm, soft jade in his arms and looked surprised, "How long have you been here?"
"Almost since the beginning."
Wanda pursed her lips and said with some dissatisfaction: "With such a big commotion, it's hard not to notice. Now the Police have already started setting up."
"Setting up?"
Arthur was stunned when he heard this.
"Yes, Tony has already notified the Police, prohibiting any outsiders from entering this area."
Wanda nodded seriously.
This commotion was indeed too big!
"Wait, did the others come too?"
Arthur suddenly thought of something.
Since Wanda came, did the other Avengers not come?
"Do you want me to bring them over?"
Wanda's eyes widened when she heard this, with a hint of excitement in her eyes.
In fact, she herself was struggling with this question.
After all, Arthur still had Gwen now, and it would be a bit awkward to bring it up.
But if Arthur took the initiative to introduce his identity, it would be completely different.
This meant that Arthur wanted to meet her friends, and she wouldn't have to be secretive anymore.
Who wouldn't want their boyfriend to openly introduce themselves?
So after Wanda finished speaking, she stared straight at Arthur.
She was worried that Arthur would refuse, but she also very much hoped to receive blessings from her friends.
Now everyone didn't know Arthur's identity. If Arthurwas willing to reveal it himself, that would be even better.
Tony, Steve, Natasha, these were all her best friends.
It would be great if everyone could get to know Arthur.
"It's all up to you."
Arthur didn't think much of it, after all, he had always concealed his identity for Wanda.
There was also another reason, he didn't want to attract too much attention because of his identity.
Otherwise, just dealing with them would be troublesome.
He came to this World to enjoy life, not to meddle in so many affairs.
Take Tony for example, if he hadn't become Iron Man, he might still be indulging in pleasures every day.
But everyone's life is different, and Arthur knew very well that he didn't like that kind of life.
The reason he dealt with Dormammu was because he promised Ancient One to take good care of Stephen.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have run to the Dark Dimension at all; he was always a person who feared trouble.
Of course, if he completed some key events, he wouldn't mind.
After all, this could get him better rewards from the system.
"Oh..."
Wanda's excited expression just now instantly dimmed. She originally thought Arthur was taking the initiative to bring this up.
But she didn't expect Arthur to just ask casually, with no emotion on his face.
She always felt that if two people wanted to be together for a long time, they had to be closer.
Both sides should know each other's friends and make introductions to each other.
But Arthur had no such intention at all, and seemed completely indifferent to the matter.
"What's wrong? You seem a little unhappy?"
Arthur noticed the disappointment on Wanda's face and asked her with a puzzled tone.
After all, her expression was too obvious.
"It's nothing."
Wanda shook her head and continued: "The others are currently doing logistical support. I'm not responsible for this part, so I came over first."
Since Arthur didn't bring it up proactively, it might be because their relationship wasn't intimate enough yet.
And although she hoped Arthur could integrate into her circle, if Arthur was unwilling, she wouldn't proactively bring it up.
The other Avengers didn't come, actually because they were scared by Arthur's strength.
They really wanted to figure out who Arthur was, but the opponent was too strong, and he also covered his face last time.
No matter how curious they were, they didn't dare to go over rashly.
If You-Know-Who was unhappy, they would be finished.
The so-called logistical support was actually just an excuse.
They didn't want to needlessly create an enemy they couldn't defeat.
For the Avengers, the current You-Know-Who was a temporarily stable but hard-to-control variable.
If they angered him by knowing his identity, their entire Avengers combined would not be his match.
What's more, they saw with their own eyes that Odin was beaten to the point of not being able to stand up, and even the Gods knelt before You-Know-Who.
It goes without saying how serious the situation was.
So their not coming was also for this reason.
"So that's how it is, that's great! We haven't seen each other for a long time!"
Arthur grinned, his eyes sparkling.
He took a step forward and directly hugged Wanda.
He had been dealing with trivia during this time, and didn't even have time to talk to Gwen properly.
Now that he saw Wanda, he naturally missed her very much.
"Did you miss me?"
Wanda's feeling of disappointment just now was diluted by this hug.
In fact, she had also missed Arthur during this time, but there were too many things going on with the Avengers.
Although she didn't have to go to the battlefield, there were still a lot of miscellaneous tasks.
"Of course I missed you."
Arthur winked at Wanda, and Wanda immediately understood what he meant.
"Sure enough, what you, this pervert, are thinking of is not me at all!"
Although Wanda grumbled in a low voice, she was still a little happy inside.
No matter what, what Arthur was thinking of was always her.
"By the way, have you had dinner?"
Arthur put his arm around Wanda's waist and said meaningfully: "Today I can make you a Western meal, like hot dog sandwiches and milk."
As soon as these words came out, Wanda's face instantly turned red, but looking at Arthur so close, she still couldn't help but nod gently.
She had also heard when chatting with Natasha that if a person is hungry, they can't help but want to go out and buy something to eat.
So you must eat your fill at home so you don't run out and eat indiscriminately.
"Then shall we go back now?"
Arthur smiled as he looked at Wanda's shy appearance.
It has to be said that as they became more familiar with each other, Wanda's reactions also became more enthusiastic.
He even felt a little impatient!
"I..."
Wanda was clearly hesitant and glanced at the Police in the distance.
Although she came to negotiate first, there should still be many things to deal with on site.
The scope of this battle was too wide. Not to mention anything else, even many people in New York City were injured by falling due to the sudden tremor.
And many cars directly crashed due to this commotion.
There were also a lot of things on the sea that needed to be arranged and dealt with.
This battle involved too many people.
"It's fine, with Tony and the others there, it will definitely be fine."
Although Wanda didn't say the specific reason, he saw through her concerns at a glance.
Without another word, he waved his right hand and opened a golden Dimension Door: "Let's go!"
Before Wanda could say anything more, he had already embraced her and entered the manor.
"Looks like it hasn't been settled yet."
In the distance, Tony watched the two pass through the Dimension Door and shook his head helplessly.
Asking them to call Wanda just now was originally to see if they could make an introduction.
He really hoped that this You-Know-Who could join the Avengers.
After all, this person's strength was much stronger than they imagined.
If they could win him over, they wouldn't have to worry about any accidents when encountering danger in the future.
"It's normal, how could such a person be willing to join this children's game?"
Rhodey stood aside, shrugging his shoulders, with an expression that showed he had expected it.
In fact, he had already guessed it; the other party lacked nothing now.
With such powerful strength, money, status, and fame were all easily obtainable.
Joining the Avengers was just asking for trouble.
"But it's a pity, if such strong power could be used to protect the Blue Star..."
Steve sat on a fallen big tree, shaking his head with a hint of regret.
He was still a little disappointed with this result, after all, the greater the ability, the heavier the responsibility.
But the other party clearly didn't want to bear these responsibilities.
"Forget it, don't think so much, brothers, we still have a lot of things to deal with."
Tony clapped his hands and was the first to turn and walk towards the Kun-Style Fighter Jet.
The on-site work had already been handed over to the Police.
And there were no injured residents nearby, so they might as well go to other places to help with disaster relief.
Chapter 72 I'll help you deal with this guy
In the manor, Lorna, dressed in a short skirt, lay on the sofa watching TV, humming a song and wiggling her legs from time to time.
For her, such a life was simply too comfortable; she could have whatever she wanted to eat.
Buzz—
"Lorna…"
With a buzzing sound, Lorna heard the noise and turned her head sharply.
Arthur, embracing Wanda, walked directly into the living room from the Dimension Door.
"Mr. Arthur, Sister!"
Lorna saw the two of them and her movements froze instantly.
She hadn't expected Arthur to return at this time, and she was still so casual.
She even forgot to eat her potato chips, immediately sat upright, her face flushed as if it were on fire.
"It's alright, you don't need to be so nervous."
Arthur smiled; Lorna was actually quite cute in his eyes.
Although she had been here for some time, she had never relaxed in front of him.
When he was home, she usually hid in her room most of the time.
It was truly rare to see her so leisurely in the living room this time.
"Lorna."
Wanda looked at her half-sister, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
She had to admit, after getting closer to her sister, a special feeling arose in her heart.
It was like a blood connection, yet also like they had known each other for a long time.
"Sister."
Lorna was visibly reserved; she even didn't know how to face this relative.
She was both happy and a little scared, as if she could be abandoned at any moment.
"Go and have a good chat with your sister."
Arthur patted the bulging area and said with a smile.
With a'slap', Wanda's face instantly turned red.
She glared at Arthur, both angry and annoyed: "What are you doing? My sister is still here."
Her expression was very awkward, having been suddenly attacked in front of her sister.
However, it was precisely because of this that her mood relaxed a lot.
The two sat on the sofa and chatted about their respective experiences.
It had to be said, they both had similar encounters, becoming who they were now because of HYDRA.
About half an hour later, Lorna suddenly seemed to remember something, patted her head, and said, "Mr. Arthur, Sister, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"
"No."
Wanda subconsciously nodded.
After all, they had rushed over as soon as the incident happened, so they definitely hadn't eaten anything.
However, Arthur's expression turned very bad, even a little grim.
He suddenly felt something was wrong in his heart, a bad premonition.
"I specially cooked today, just in time for Sister and Mr. Arthur to try it!"
When Lorna finished speaking, Arthur's heart finally sank.
Although he had already guessed what would happen next, hearing it truly made him feel like he was going to split apart.
"Well…"
Arthur looked at Lorna, who was full of anticipation, and finally could only sigh.
He actually really wanted to refuse, but this was Lorna's kind intention after all.
And Wanda was also nearby, so it wouldn't be good to directly refuse.
Lorna led them to the dining room and quickly took out the prepared dishes from the insulated box.
This time, she made ten dishes in total; although they weren't perfect in color, aroma, and taste, they at least looked good.
Just the appearance alone was much better than last time.
"Lorna, you made all of these?"
Wanda asked in surprise; she wasn't good at cooking herself.
She hadn't expected her sister to have such high culinary skills.
"Pretty much, Yin Meida helped me a lot."
Lorna scratched her head awkwardly.
Because when she first started cooking, almost everything was burnt or undercooked.
Fortunately, Yin Meida was there, which allowed her to make so many dishes.
"Lorna has really improved a lot!"
Arthur was so moved he almost cried; he made up his mind to give Yin Meida a raise no matter what.
If it weren't for her, Lorna's cooking record today would probably have been +2.
At the dinner table, everyone ate and chatted, Wandainadvertently looking at Arthur beside her.
Under the light, his chiseled face also appeared much softer.
She unconsciously placed her hand on Arthur's thigh.
She didn't know how long it had been, but she finally felt at home again.
All of this was brought to her by Arthur.
"?"
Arthur felt the slender hand and looked up to meet Wanda's gaze.
The next second, a meaningful expression appeared on his face.
He hadn't expected Wanda to sometimes be more proactive than him.
"Lorna, you eat first; your sister and I have something to do upstairs."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lorna was stunned.
What was it?
But before she could ask, she saw Arthur embrace her sister and quickly walk upstairs.
"Mr. Arthur and Sister are so loving."
Lorna looked at their affectionate appearance, her face full of envy.
However, for her, as long as her sister was happy, she was happy.
...
After some commotion upstairs.
"Arthur, shall we go out and play in a few days?"
Wanda stretched, her whole body aching.
"Sure! Where do you want to go?"
Arthur casually agreed; there wasn't much going on lately anyway, and being idle was just being idle.
Instead of staying put, it was better to go out with Wandaand perhaps find some fun.
"I want to go to Westview for a vacation, that small town I saw when I passed by before. The scenery is beautiful, and there are cherry blossoms in bloom."
Wanda stated her idea without hesitation.
Arthur hadn't expected Wanda to want to go to Westview.
Westview, in the original work, was a place Wanda always yearned for; she once dreamed of settling down there with her lover. In other words, Wanda had now fully accepted herself.
"Let's drive there when the time comes; we can also enjoy the scenery along the way."
Wanda held Arthur's hand, her tone carrying a hint of request.
Arthur nodded, agreeing to all her arrangements.
By this time, it was late, with the sun setting, and Arthurtook Wanda to the room's balcony to watch the sunset.
This spot offered a perfect view of the sunset.
Suddenly, the manor's alarm sounded.
"Master, there's an intruder outside!"
Red Queen's voice suddenly rang out.
"Intruder?"
Arthur's thought moved, and he immediately perceived everything within the manor.
The next second, he noticed Gwen, wearing the Ghost Spider battle suit, stumbling and climbing over the wall.
She looked very disheveled; as soon as she climbed over the wall, she fell to the ground, motionless.
"It's Gwen, she's not doing well."
Arthur and Wanda immediately got up and went downstairs to find Gwen.
...
In the yard, Gwen lay on the ground, moaning softly, her battle suit covered in dust.
Even the hood had a crack in it, clearly indicating she had been in a fight to end up like this.
"Gwen!"
Arthur quickly stepped forward and picked her up.
Wanda also hurried to follow, taking Gwen to a messy room.
After placing her on the bed, Arthur carefully removed her hood.
The pain had soaked Gwen's hair with sweat, and her face was full of agony.
Her body trembled slightly, and her fair cheeks were covered in bruises.
"Damn it! Who did this?!"
Arthur's brows furrowed, and he was filled with rage upon seeing this scene.
He never would have thought that someone would dare to lay a hand on Gwen.
Moreover, Gwen's injuries were severe; from his examination, even her internal organs were severely damaged.
It could be said that Gwen managed to get here solely by her willpower.
If it weren't for this perseverance, she probably would have collapsed long ago.
"She looks so pained."
Wanda bit her lip, feeling a little distressed as well.
The person who attacked was too ruthless; otherwise, with Gwen's skill, she wouldn't have sustained such severe injuries.
Arthur placed his hand on Gwen's hand, and the Horse Talisman on his right hand began to glow.
Green energy continuously poured into Gwen's body through the contact.
As the energy was infused, Gwen's injuries rapidly improved, and her original pained expression slowly relaxed.
"Lorna, go get her a glass of Water."
Wanda turned to Lorna beside her and said.
Although Wanda had many questions she wanted to ask, she also understood that now was not the time.
And she also wasn't sure what this little girl had gone through.
How could she, with such good skills, still suffer such severe injuries?
When the energy in her body healed Gwen's injuries, Gwen suddenly opened her eyes.
Her eyes were full of fear and terror.
But when she saw Arthur, that fear and wariness instantly disappeared.
"Arthur!"
Gwen immediately threw herself into Arthur's arms, her eyes instantly reddening.
Her voice also trembled; the enemy she encountered this time was truly terrifying, and she even thought she wouldn't make it back.
Wanda, watching Gwen's actions from the side, slowly felt her jealousy disappear.
After all, this was just a pitiful little girl.
She at least had companions in the Avengers, while little Gwen had always protected everyone's safety alone.
"It's alright, it's alright."
Arthur gently patted Gwen's back, comforting her.
He could tell that Gwen was terrified to the extreme right now.
"I almost didn't make it back…"
Gwen's nose kept twitching, and she said with a choked voice.
She truly thought she couldn't hold on, and her last bit of consciousness was desperately trying to rush towards Arthur.
Fortunately, she finally made it.
"What exactly happened?"
After Gwen had calmed down a bit, Arthur finally spoke.
Since someone dared to harm Gwen, he naturally wouldn't let them go.
But now the most important thing was to figure out what exactly happened.
"I've been investigating someone called Vulture recently. I found a clue after school this afternoon, but I didn't expect to be ambushed while tracking him."
Gwen, with red eyes, told everything she knew.
The opponent's combat power wasn't strong, but he could fly and carried many weapons, making it impossible for her to resist.
If it weren't for the opponent's carelessness, she would have lost her life long ago.
"Vulture?"
Arthur was stunned when he heard this name.
Although this World was very different from what he imagined, he never thought he would encounter Vulture in this Universe.
Vulture's name was Adrian Toomes, and he ran a salvage company in New York.
The reason Arthur was so surprised was because Vulture was Liz Toomes' father, who was the father of Spider-ManParker's crush in another World.
However, this guy was actually quite pitiful.
He spent all his money and finally got permission from the U.S. to salvage Chitauri debris.
Then, relying on these scraps, he researched alien technology and made a lot of money.
No one expected that due to the establishment of the Damage Control Department led by Stark Industries, the original cooperation agreement was unilaterally canceled.
Consequently, he faced bankruptcy and began to resent the Avengers, hiding the Chitauri wreckage he had previously salvaged.
Unexpectedly, this guy just happened to run into Gwen.
Although Gwen was strong, she was still a step behind Vulture's equipment.
Not to mention that Vulture's suit not only allowed him to fly but also had many other functions.
If he were to face Tony, he would definitely be beaten without any power to fight back, but Gwen was too weak, which is why she was bullied.
"You mean Vulture?"
Wanda gritted her teeth, her voice filled with anger: "Don't worry, I'll help you deal with this guy!"
Although Gwen was her love rival, she had already let go now.
Moreover, she also felt quite sympathetic towards this poor child.
Later, she went back and specifically researched Gwen's background, learning about all the things she had experienced.
At such a young age, she had to bear so much pressure, taking care of her father while fighting crime.
For a girl who had just started college, this burden was truly too great.
"You're going?"
Arthur was stunned; he hadn't expected Wanda to volunteer to help Gwen.
After all, there was indeed a subtle relationship between the two of them.
Chapter 73 It's Not That Simple
"Are you surprised?"
Wanda hugged her chest, her tone displeased: "I'm not that petty. Helping is helping, but that doesn't mean I want to share a bed with her!"
She had actually guessed that Gwen was Ghost Spiderafter their initial contact.
And after defeating the Minotaur, those two had most likely gone on a secret date.
Just thinking about it made her angry, but she didn't blame Gwen.
In her opinion, Arthur wasn't someone who could settle down.
"Haha."
21:40 □
Arthur scratched his head awkwardly: "Gwen, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"
He didn't want to continue dwelling on this topic.
"Mm, I want to eat steak!"
Since Gwen had recovered, hearing this immediately made her forget what had just happened.
In front of Arthur, she was like a child.
There was also another reason… she didn't know how to face Wanda.
Earlier in the park, she had wanted to confront her true feelings.
But unexpectedly, she met Hela then, and in the end, she still didn't say it.
Now, although she wanted to say it, with Wanda nearby, she couldn't bring herself to speak.
"Alright, I'll make it for you then!"
Arthur originally wanted to smile and pat Gwen's head, but seeing Wanda nearby, he could only awkwardly retract his hand with a forced smile.
Steak was a simple dish to make, and it wasn't long before it was served in front of Gwen.
"Phew—I'm full."
Gwen's eyes narrowed into a line as she smiled.
Recently, she had been thinking about Arthur's cooking, but there was too much going on at school, and she had been busy chasing down bad guys, so she couldn't find the time. Today, she finally got to enjoy a good meal cooked by Arthur.
"Go take a shower after you finish eating."
Wanda said to Gwen with a smile.
Gwen's combat suit was already covered in dust, and such a tight-fitting outfit must be uncomfortable to wear for a long time.
"Okay!"
Gwen agreed without hesitation. She was indeed feeling a bit stifled now, having sweated a lot after the fight.
After she changed out of her combat suit, Wanda took the clothes and walked to the laundry room downstairs, intending to wash them and see if there were any holes, so she could ask the maid to mend them.
"No, wait!"
Just as Wanda was about to put Gwen's combat suit into the washing machine, she suddenly noticed something was off.
There were traces of repair at the crotch area of the combat suit.
In an instant, the events of that night flashed through her mind again.
"Could it be… no way…"
Her face instantly turned unsightly, and she carefully lifted a corner.
Although the same color thread was used for mending, the stitches were still visible upon closer inspection.
This was exactly the same spot where it had been torn when she was with Arthur before!
In other words, last time, she…
At this, Wanda's face flushed hot. She never expected it to be like this.
"Arthur!!!"
Wanda took a deep breath, her voice seemingly squeezed out from between her teeth.
She never, ever imagined things would turn out this way.
Now she finally understood why Arthur had been so energetic that day.
It turned out to be Gwen's combat suit; this damned guy accidentally got mixed up in it.
"What's wrong?"
Arthur was just coming down the stairs. Hearing Wanda's suppressed voice, he asked in confusion.
The next second, his expression also froze, because he saw Wanda holding the Zhi Zhu combat suit.
"My dear Mr. Arthur, can you explain what's going on here?"
Wanda forced a smile and shook the combat suit.
"What's going on? Haha, I seem to have forgotten to ask Yin Meida to clean the room."
Arthur rubbed the back of his head, pretending nothing was wrong and trying to slip away, but the next second, his stiff smile couldn't be maintained.
"That day… could it be…"
Wanda lowered her head, looking at the stitch marks more clearly: "No wonder you had so much fun."
From her tone, one could hear the suppressed anger and embarrassment.
Her face was already burning red, even the tips of her ears were pink.
This was no longer just simple cosplay; it was practically like wearing the combat suit and performing on the spot!
And later, Gwen actually put on this same outfit again.
This made Wanda's face grow increasingly unsightly.
"Um… well…"
Arthur stammered awkwardly, rubbing the back of his head, unable to speak for a long time.
The evidence was right there; who would have thought it would turn out like this?
What he didn't expect even more was that Gwen didn't throw away this combat suit but mended it and continued to wear it. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have given this outfit to Gwen even if he died!
"So this is the combat suit I wore that night. I was wondering why it disappeared."
Wanda's tone was full of anger, and one could even hear her gritting her teeth.
"Calm down, you chose this yourself, and you even said it was quite comfortable!"
Arthur raised his hands, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curving upwards: "Besides, weren't you having fun too?"
He couldn't help but laugh, unable to imagine how embarrassed Wanda must be right now!
"Arthur!"
Wanda reached out and grabbed him: "Stop talking!"
She couldn't even imagine what it would be like if Gwenfound out about this.
By then, she would truly have no face to meet anyone.
"If you like it, you can wear it again!"
Arthur said and then turned and ran!
The two ran around the house.
Lorna dangled her feet in the living room, watching this scene, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Sister and Mr. Arthur have such a good relationship."
…
In the guest room.
Although Gwen's injuries had healed, she was still a bit mentally tired, so she slept for several hours on the bed.
Upon waking, she groggily opened the room door.
As soon as she opened the door, Wanda, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately turned to look, and her face instantly turned bright red.
"What's wrong?"
Gwen touched her own face, looking at herself with a puzzled expression.
Why did Wanda have that expression as soon as she saw her?
"Nothing."
Wanda waved her hands nervously.
"Um, Arthur, I want to go find the Vulture!"
Gwen walked up to Arthur, gritting her teeth and saying, "Is my combat suit clean?"
After suffering such a big loss, how could she just let it go?
"Okay!"
Arthur patted Wanda, who was sitting next to him, and showed a mischievous smile: "Where's the combat suit? Quickly put it on Gwen!"
"You…"
Wanda glared fiercely at Arthur, her face instantly burning hot as she recalled what she had done while wearing that combat suit: "It's… it's ready."
She walked into the laundry room, took out the combat suit, and her heart couldn't help but pound faster as she stared at a certain spot.
She had no idea that she had unknowingly done such… * * things.
"What's wrong?"
Gwen looked at Wanda strangely, always feeling that she was a bit evasive.
"You should still change into another combat suit."
Wanda took a deep breath, her tone carrying a hint of pleading.
After all, this outfit before…
And she felt embarrassed and uncomfortable just thinking about it.
Although a long time had passed, every time she saw it, she would remember what happened that night. What's more, the protagonist of that night was downstairs, making her blush even more.
"No need, as long as it can be worn."
Gwen refused Wanda's kind offer.
She sniffed the combat suit, "Huh, Mr. Arthur, didn't you use heather-scented laundry detergent this time?"
"Cough, cough, cough…"
Arthur, who was drinking coffee, instantly turned red and coughed violently.
Behind him, Wanda lowered her head, pinching Arthur's waist hard.
Damn Arthur!
This guy is a pervert!
To think this was Gwen's combat suit, she * * * *!
And he actually lied to her, saying it was a cosplay costume; he clearly did it on purpose!
"Gwen, where are we going first?"
Arthur suppressed his laughter, waiting for Gwen to change into her combat suit before preparing to leave.
"The clue I found is at the Granfort warehouse in Queens!"
This time, it finally wasn't in Manhattan, but Queens.
Arthur nodded casually, and with a wave of his right hand.
A golden light flashed, and the Dimension Door opened.
A warehouse appeared on the other side.
"Right! This is it!"
Gwen gritted her teeth and stepped through the Dimension Door.
Arthur stretched lazily and said indifferently:
"Then let's begin!"
…
The warehouse was in the suburbs, and the surroundings were quiet.
Gwen carefully observed the movements around her.
"No need to look, there's no one."
With a thought, Arthur immediately sensed no signs of activity inside the warehouse.
"He's not here?"
Gwen frowned. According to the intelligence she had gathered, the Vulture should be here.
"Let's go in and see first."
Arthur walked ahead, striding towards the warehouse door.
After just a few steps, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect this guy to be quite cautious."
"What?"
Gwen didn't quite understand Arthur's meaning and looked at him in confusion.
Arthur made a gesture with his right hand, and the surrounding soil quickly turned over.
After all the soil was overturned, five single-person landmines were revealed.
"This guy actually buried landmines at the entrance of his own warehouse?!"
Gwen's eyes widened. If it weren't for Arthur, she might really have stepped on them.
She never expected the Vulture to be cautious to this extent.
"It seems the Vulture is quite interesting."
Arthur clenched his right hand, crushing the detonator of one of the landmines, and casually threw the landmine aside.
It had to be said, the Vulture was very aware of his weaknesses.
So even in his own home, he was extra careful.
There wasn't even a trace of anyone having passed by.
The warehouse door was the traditional kind, with a large lock hanging on it.
That lock alone was as big as a head, indicating that the contents inside were very important to the Vulture.
Before Arthur could act, Wanda proactively used Chaos Magic to turn the lock into soft modeling clay.
The moment Arthur pulled open the large door, the contents inside were immediately revealed to everyone.
Inside, military green boxes were neatly arranged.
"What are all these?"
Gwen stepped forward, casually opened a box, and found that it contained some damaged weapon parts, with text clearly indicating they were discarded weapon components from the Chitauri.
"This guy actually uses old Chitauri parts to assemble weapons!"
Gwen's eyes widened. She had always wondered where the Vulture's weapons came from.
She never expected them to be modified from those discarded Chitauri parts!
"It's not that simple."
Arthur raised his right hand, and with a gentle hook of his index finger,
All the boxes in the warehouse automatically opened.
Most of them contained discarded Chitauri weapon parts.
"Come over here and look, quick!"
Gwen walked to the southeast corner of the warehouse, and after seeing the parts inside, she was too stunned to speak.
Inside were all high-tech weapons!
"This guy actually successfully modified all these weapons!"
Wanda walked to the box, and after seeing the weapons inside, her pupils sharply contracted: "It seems the person Tony has been investigating recently for smuggling goods is the Vulture!"
She had also heard recently that Tony had been chasing a weapon smuggling case.
Because these weapons were left behind by the Chitauri, and their power greatly increased after modification.
Moreover, every batch of weapons that flowed out caused great harm to civilians abroad.
But the opponent's method of transportation was too covert, even Tony couldn't solve it,
Because he simply couldn't react in time before the goods disappeared.
"If what you're investigating is smuggled weapons, then it's most likely the batch you're looking for!"
Gwen took a deep breath, stating her guess with a serious expression.
Chapter 74 You Bad Guy
Because she had been investigating the Vulture, she also discovered that he had been involved in smuggling.
It was just that she hadn't been able to find this place, so she wasn't sure what exactly he was smuggling.
"This time, it's truly killing two birds with one stone, saving Tony the trouble of searching everywhere!"
Wanda's face showed a hint of a smile; after all, the Vulture was hidden too deeply.
And the Avengers had too many things to deal with, so they couldn't spare any time to investigate.
Now, it was good; everything was directly resolved.
"I wonder where this guy ran off to."
Gwen frowned. They couldn't just keep waiting here, could they?
"Let's go down and take a look!"
Arthur suddenly said, "There's another space below."
If he hadn't used his perception ability, he really wouldn't have discovered that the Vulture had hidden other things below.
Led by Arthur, the two quickly arrived in front of a carpet.
This carpet looked black and dirty, its original color no longer discernible.
Arthur lifted his hand and pulled, revealing an iron door beneath after lifting the carpet.
This was clearly the entrance to the Underground Room.
"This is a password lock."
Gwen squatted down, opened a cover, and said with a frown.
If it was a password lock, there was no way to get in.
"Password?"
Arthur put on his Bluetooth headset and said, "Red Queen, crack this password."
Although he could pry it open directly with force, it was, after all, a networked device.
Once opened by brute force, it was very likely to alert the people inside.
"Master, it's already unlocked!"
In less than a few seconds, the password in front of them was automatically entered.
"Mr. Arthur, this is…"
Gwen looked surprised; she hadn't expected such an operation was possible.
"It's just an AI."
Arthur didn't explain Red Queen's origin much.
Gwen didn't pay too much attention either; after opening the Underground Room, she immediately walked in.
Once the lights came on, the scene inside was completely visible.
The warehouse below was entirely steel-structured, filled with various materials.
This was clearly an underground laboratory, roughly over three hundred square meters.
Although not large, it was filled with various equipment.
One could tell at a glance that those materials were weapon parts, and some weapons hadn't been assembled yet, but it was clear they were Chitauri weapon materials.
"This guy's weapons are all modified here!"
Wanda was a bit shocked, knowing that Chitauri weapons had extremely complex structures.
This guy named Vulture could actually assemble them himself.
From a certain perspective, the Vulture could also be considered a scientific research genius.
After all, the Chitauri were an alien civilization, and many of their technologies were different from those on Earth.
But he still managed to research them out.
"Laser cannons, automatic aiming scopes, laser guns…"
Arthur stood in front of a pile of scattered weapons, recognizing their uses at a glance.
What surprised him even more was that these weapons were almost all pieced together, and quite a few were even modified by him.
"You two, come look!"
Gwen stood in front of a computer, calling out to the two in an urgent tone.
The two walked to her side and also saw the content displayed on the screen.
[Bank Robbery Plan!]
Seeing the title, everyone immediately understood the Vulture's next plan.
"They're going to act tonight, but there are so many banks, there's no way to determine the target!"
Gwen looked at the plan and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
From the content, it not only arranged the escape route but even planned the route for fencing the stolen goods.
Moreover, the action time was clearly written, indicating that they were going to act tonight.
The target was a bank in Queens, but it didn't specifically state which one.
There were only some blueprints of bank vaults.
But with just the blueprints, it was impossible to determine which bank the Vulture intended to attack in a short amount of time.
"I'll call Tony."
Wanda said hesitantly.
If Tony helped search, they should be able to find the target's location very quickly.
"No need, I have a way."
Arthur waved his hand, stopping Wanda, and said directly, "Red Queen, help me locate the Vulture's current whereabouts!"
Although he could use his perception range to search, it was still a bit difficult without confirming the other party's aura.
In contrast, Red Queen was more efficient; as long as there was a camera, no matter where, she could immediately pinpoint the location.
"Master, the Vulture's location has been found. He is in the alley to the right of the Grissick Bank branch."
In less than three seconds, Red Queen locked onto the Vulture's location via the network.
"The Vulture has been found. Should I go or should you?"
Arthur turned to ask Gwen next to him.
If he made a move, even without going to the scene, he could make the Vulture disappear.
This way, he wouldn't need to go there in person.
"I want to do it myself!"
Gwen took a deep breath, looking at Arthur with determined eyes.
If it weren't for being ambushed by the Vulture, she wouldn't have been at such a disadvantage so easily.
Moreover, she didn't want to always hide under Arthur's protection.
She believed she could also deal with the Vulture.
…
Outside Grissick Bank in Queens.
Five figures appeared in an adjacent alley.
One of them was the most conspicuous.
He had a pair of huge mechanical wings on his back, and his coat was covered with various weapons.
What was most striking was the mask on his face.
Unlike the hoods worn by the others, his mask was shaped like a bird's beak, similar to those of medieval Doctors, but much smaller than traditional ones.
The people around him held weapons, waiting solemnly for the Vulture's command.
"Are you all ready?"
The Vulture raised his hand, checked the time, and asked.
After seeing them nod, he unhesitatingly pressed the button in his hand.
Drip—
The bank's electronic door slowly opened.
In the dead of night, this door opened silently, unnoticed by anyone.
This was precisely the program the Vulture had set up in advance; as soon as he pressed the button, all surrounding network connections would be immediately cut off.
This way, the Police would not be able to view surveillance footage in real-time.
More importantly, all networked doors inside the bank would automatically open.
"Boss, you're truly amazing!"
One of the subordinates couldn't help but praise him.
This saved them a lot of trouble.
Leaving aside other things, at least they wouldn't be discovered in a short time.
"Stop talking nonsense."
The Vulture walked into the bank with a cold face, leading the way, and said, "We only have ten minutes now!"
Although the cameras had already been hacked, the Police's detection system was not to be trifled with.
They would be discovered in ten minutes, and the nearest Police station was only eight minutes away.
So, they had to finish everything within twenty minutes to leave safely.
The Vulture had studied the route to the vault countless times, effortlessly arriving outside the vault.
The four people he brought didn't need him to speak; upon seeing the vault, they immediately installed explosives on the main door.
Boom!
After several loud bangs, the vault door was violently blown open.
All the safes inside were exposed before their eyes.
"Boss! We've really hit the jackpot this time!"
After rushing in, several people couldn't help but let out sharp cheers.
Although cash and the like would be taken away at night, this bank's biggest feature was that it stored many private items.
These private items were priceless, and luxury jewels were countless.
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!"
The Vulture frowned, gritting his teeth and scolding them.
He strode towards one of the safes.
His goal this time was not just money.
If it were just money, he could completely sell weapons.
What he truly wanted were some confidential documents hidden here by a shareholder of Si Ta Ke Corporation.
And his target was that file.
Just as he was about to retrieve the documents, footsteps came from outside the vault.
"It seems you guys are quite efficient."
Arthur walked in with Wanda and Gwen.
Looking at the mess on the ground, Arthur couldn't help but sigh.
After all, this speed was simply too fast.
According to the original plan, the vault door was opened in less than three minutes; even professional robbers couldn't be this fast.
"Vulture, you're going to be caught!"
Gwen lowered her body, adopting a combat stance.
"I thought it was someone else, but it's Ghost Spider. I didn't expect you to still be alive."
The Vulture saw Gwen and let out a low laugh from beneath his mask.
"I certainly won't die, but you might not be so lucky!"
Gwen gritted her teeth, staring intently at the Vulture. This time, she would absolutely not be careless again.
What's more, they were now inside the vault. Although the space was large, it was much better than being on the street.
At least she could deal with the Vulture's flying ability.
"Wait, are you Arthur of Si Ta Ke Corporation?"
At this moment, the Vulture suddenly noticed Arthur next to Gwen.
He knew him so well because he hated Si Ta Ke Corporation to the bone, remembering all the shareholders' information clearly.
"Yes? Want an autograph?"
Arthur's lips curled up, his tone carrying a hint of mockery.
"You go to hell!"
The Vulture didn't give the others a chance to react, directly making his move.
But before he could pounce, Gwen had already rushed forward.
Two strands of spider silk flew out, directly sticking the Vulture's wings to the ground.
Meanwhile, the other four people were preparing to pull out the weapons the Vulture had given them.
A red light flashed, and their weapons instantly began to melt.
In just a few seconds, these people turned into a pile of ashes.
"Damn it!"
The Vulture couldn't help but curse. If those few people had been a bit faster, they wouldn't have ended up like this.
However, he was also helpless; these four people were just random scapegoats he found.
What was worse, Gwen had already figured out his weakness.
So, she stuck his wings the first chance she got.
The next second, Gwen had already moved along the wall to get behind him.
Crack!
A piercing sound rang out as Gwen directly tore off the wings from his back.
Inside the vault, the Vulture, covered in wounds, lay on the ground, his mask thrown to the side.
His chest rose and fell slightly, his eyes filled with immense despair.
He had originally intended to force his way out with his battle armor, but he hadn't expected Scarlet Witch to pull him back into the vault with a gentle wave of her hand.
What awaited him next was only a unilateral beating.
In such a confined space, there was no way to use his wings, and his wings had already been destroyed by Gwenat the first opportunity.
"Gwen, it seems you've become much stronger again."
Arthur couldn't help but walk forward and ruffle Gwen's head.
He had to admit, Gwen's performance just now was truly surprising.
Compared to before, her reactions and movements were much more agile, and she fully utilized the terrain, using spider silk to firmly bind the Vulture and give him a severe beating.
In a direct confrontation, Gwen's strength far surpassed the Vulture's.
"Arthur!"
Wanda saw Arthur ruffling Gwen's head, and her mouth involuntarily pouted.
This used to be her exclusive treatment, but now it was taken by Gwen.
"What's wrong?"
Arthur looked at Wanda's expression and pulled her into a hug.
He had to say, the feeling of ruffling her head while hugging her waist was really nice.
"You scoundrel!"
Wanda gritted her teeth and twisted Arthur's waist hard.
From the expression on Arthur's face, it was clear that this guy was definitely up to something mischievous.
No matter what, she couldn't let him succeed.
"Speaking of which, how should we deal with this guy?" Gwen slightly raised her chin, pointing at the Vulture on the ground.
They couldn't just leave him here now, could they?
"It seems…"
Just as Arthur was hesitating whether to send the man to the Police, a Police siren suddenly sounded outside.
"The Police are here!"
Chapter 75 Let's go first
Gwen looked up and gazed at the doorway.
"This saves us a lot of trouble!"
Wanda's lips curled into a slight, triumphant smile.
After all, the bank's front door was now wide open, and if they just left, who knew if other people would rush in.
After all, this was New York, a place of freedom, where anyone could appear.
"Let's go first!"
Arthur put his hand down, and with a wave of his right hand in the air, a dazzling golden light appeared.
He wrapped his arms around Gwen and Wanda's waists and stepped directly into the Dimension Door.
He didn't want Wanda and Gwen to stay there and be hounded by reporters.
It was hard enough to have free time to cultivate their relationship properly; he couldn't waste it on this vulture.
Anyway, when the Police arrived, they would definitely arrest that guy.
The next day.
A news report was playing on the television in the Villaliving room.
"Scarlet Witch and Ghost Spider join forces to punish criminals!"
Photos of Gwen and Wanda appeared separately in the footage.
"I didn't expect these Police to be somewhat useful."
Arthur couldn't help but say as he watched the television.
It was normal to recognize Ghost Spider, after all, there were spider webs everywhere in the vault.
But recognizing Scarlet Witch wasn't so easy.
After all, Wanda's power was somewhat different from before.
"Hmph, I deliberately let them know it was me who made the move!"
Wanda proudly raised her head: "Although the Avengers' reputation has recovered, it still needs more media exposure."
She had anticipated this point long ago; after all, many people still harbored doubts about the Avengers.
She wanted to let everyone know through the news who was protecting them.
Because Arthur had once told her that sometimes, heroes doing good deeds needed to be known, not done in obscurity.
As for why Gwen wanted to keep a low profile, it was because she was still a student and had to hide her identity to avoid affecting her normal life.
Besides, she wasn't relying on being a hero for a living.
"It seems our little Wanda is quite smart."
Arthur smiled and leaned closer to Wanda, a smile on his lips: "So, shouldn't I give you a reward?"
"Go away!" Wanda raised an eyebrow; to deal with Arthur, she had specifically gone to sleep with Gwenyesterday.
It was to let him know the consequences of wearing the wrong battle suit!
"But you two partners are really popular; look how well-received you are!"
Arthur looked up at the online comments about them, which were almost all praises.
"Of course, my relationship with little sister Gwen is excellent!"
Wanda stood up, sat next to Gwen, and hugged her.
After their chat last night, the knot in her heart had loosened a lot.
And she was growing fonder of this silly, cute little sister.
"But these reporters just love to hype up news."
Gwen was already used to such reports; these people made a living by sensationalizing.
There had been many hypes about her before, and some even impersonated her everywhere.
"How about we go to Westview to play?"
Arthur leaned back on the sofa and suggested.
He remembered that Wanda had always wanted to go there.
Now that they had nothing to do, he might as well take her out for a stroll.
Moreover, Wanda rarely had free time, so it was a good opportunity for her to rest.
"Really?"
Wanda's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately pounced on Arthur.
She had originally thought she would have to wait a long time for Arthur to have time to accompany her.
She didn't expect him to plan to leave today.
"No time like the present; anyway, everyone is free."
Arthur's lips curled into a slight smile; he never forgot promises he made to girls.
As an experienced charmer, he naturally understood this point.
If he promised, he would definitely deliver.
Moreover, he also wanted to please both Gwen and Wanda at the same time, to secure double happiness for himself.
"That's great!"
Wanda excitedly kissed Arthur on the cheek.
Gwen, watching Wanda's bold move, quietly held Arthur's hand.
She also wanted to do that, but she was still a bit shy.
"Oh, right, Gwen, you should come too, shouldn't you?"
Arthur turned to look at Gwen; he remembered Gwenshould have no classes these two days.
Taking her along would also help them get closer.
Gwen was about to nod but suddenly remembered something, and a hint of hesitation appeared on her face.
"What's wrong?"
Arthur noticed the change in her expression and asked in confusion.
"I don't know if my parents will agree."
Gwen said with some difficulty.
She was able to stay here yesterday because she told a small lie, saying she was staying at a classmate's house.
If she didn't go back today, it definitely wouldn't work!
"It's okay, I'll ask them for you."
Arthur didn't pay much attention and stood up with a smile: "Let's go, we'll go to your house together, and you can pack some things along the way."
After all, Gwen's parents were quite reasonable, so there shouldn't be a problem.
This was a road trip, so Arthur didn't drive the bumblebee.
Instead, he chose an EleMMentPalazzo.
This was an RV, one of the most expensive RVs currently, not only spacious but also fully equipped with everything inside.
If they went out together, a car that was too small would indeed be uncomfortable to drive.
The key was that there were very few highway service areas in the U.S., so traveling by RV was very necessary.
When the car started, it looked as if the entire body was made of gold.
From the outside, it glittered, and just driving it out attracted many people's attention.
After all, cars like the EleMMentPalazzo were very rare.
To prevent Stacy and her husband from overthinking, Wanda stayed in the car alone when they returned.
Gwen and Arthur went to Gwen's house.
As soon as they knocked on the door, it immediately opened.
"Arthur, you're here?"
Helen saw Arthur, was stunned for a moment, and then noticed her daughter.
"Hello Aunt Helen, where is Uncle George?"
Arthur greeted her first and also noticed that Georgeseemed to be out.
"He went to work."
Helen smiled and invited Arthur in.
However, after glancing at them, a subtle smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
It seemed her daughter had secretly learned to lie!
Otherwise, why would she have said she was staying at a classmate's house yesterday?
One should know that Gwen usually never said she would stay out at the last minute; even if she were to stay at a classmate's house, she would say so in advance.
She probably stayed at Arthur's house last night.
However, she didn't care too much, after all, she was quite satisfied with Arthur.
Because George had already investigated Arthur's background.
Rich, handsome, and he seemed very gentle towards Gwen.
"Mom, I want to go out with Arthur for a few days."
Gwen tugged at her clothes, speaking with some hesitation.
She didn't know if her mother would agree.
After all, her family discipline was usually very strict; otherwise, she would have called the Police in a panic if she hadn't come home last night.
"Oh, right, Aunt Helen, I want to take Gwen out for a walk; you don't need to worry about safety."
At this moment, Arthur also quickly spoke up.
After all, it was normal for Stacy and her husband to worry when taking Gwen out.
"Alright, you two go and have fun!"
To Gwen's surprise, Helen actually agreed directly.
Helen agreed because she trusted Arthur.
Besides, it was a holiday now, and staying at home was boring.
When George had an accident before, Gwen had always been afraid to travel far.
Now it was time for her to relax properly.
And this could also help the two of them get along better.
After packing her luggage, Gwen excitedly got into the car.
As the EleMMentPalazzo started,
Arthur, with Wanda, Gwen, and Lorna, drove onto the highway.
Westview was in a remote location, and it took a full day to drive there.
Although the road was a bit long, it was flat fields all the way, and the scenery made one completely forget the length and monotony of the journey.
Along the way, everyone was excitedly jumping around.
And there was no need to worry about driving, because Red Queen was there.
As the most powerful AI in the World, this small matter was nothing to Red Queen.
One day later, the EleMMentPalazzo slowly stopped in front of the Villa that had been bought a day earlier.
Because it was bought a day in advance, everything inside was ready.
"Witch, the place you chose is truly suitable for rest."
Arthur sat at the entrance of the Villa, looking at the scenery outside, and couldn't help but say.
This leisurely life was what he liked the most.
"Of course."
Wanda took a long breath after hearing that: "This vacation will definitely not disappoint."
...
Nine Realms, the lower level of the World Tree.
Nidavellir.
Rumble, a blue barrier of light illuminated the sky.
A mother ship, like a giant steel beast, loomed over the planet Nidavellir.
Four pairs of huge steel wings seemed to cover the entire city.
The people on the ground all looked up at this terrifying scene.
Their faces were filled with terror; they had no idea what was happening.
Bang!
Before they could react, there was a loud bang.
The center of Nidavellir.
A house in front of a fortress was hit by a cannonball and instantly collapsed.
"Run!"
"Enemies!"
"What's going on!"
...
The dwarves scattered in panic, their faces filled with fear.
Although they were dwarves, their adult size was even similar to Hulk.
But even so, it couldn't hide the fear in their hearts.
Rumble!
But before they could run out, another terrifying explosion sounded from the front.
Five figures, leading an army, surrounded them.
The dwarves tried to break through, but it was useless.
"Brothers, follow me and charge out!"
One group of dwarves picked up their weapons, gritted their teeth, and prepared to break through from the front.
But just as they were about to charge, a tall, slender, and elegant man slowly walked out.
He just gently raised his hand, and countless stones floated up, turning into sharp spikes that directly pierced them all, turning them into sieves.
With just one move, he killed dozens of dwarves!
"Damn it!"
A dwarf quickened his pace, raised his weapon, and leaped, trying to attack Ebony Maw.
But just as he was about to strike Ebony Maw, a piece of metal blocked his attack.
The next second, a huge force impaled him through two buildings.
Immediately after, a huge figure quickly soared into the air and heavily stepped on his chest.
This was clearly Black Dwarf, who calmly drew his weapon, a contemptuous smile on his lips.
Although there were other dwarves who wanted to break through, they were all stopped by the Black Order, unable to break through at all.
Ultimately, all resisting dwarves were captured, and these captured dwarves were beheaded one by one by Corvus Glaive; blood flowed on the ground, and the scene was extremely tragic.
The fortress gate was suddenly crashed open by a figure, and a huge dwarf fell heavily to the ground, causing the ground to shake.
Dwarf King Eitri screamed in pain.
Then, a purple figure carrying a giant blade walked out, each step heavy but not panicked, instead appearing exceptionally steady.
This person was Thanos.
"Eitri, stop struggling, just honestly forge the Infinity Gauntlet for me!"
Thanos slowly walked in front of Eitri, raised his giant blade, and placed it on the Dwarf King's neck.
"I will never agree to such a thing!"
Eitri clearly understood Thanos's intentions; if he truly agreed, the Universe would fall into chaos.
"It doesn't matter if I destroy the entire Dwarf Star? I warn you, Odin will no longer protect Nidavellir; the people of Asgard can barely protect themselves!"
Thanos had already seen through Eitri's thoughts, his eyes cold and ruthless.
Before Eitri could answer, Thanos nodded to a subordinate beside him.
A dwarf was dragged over, and with a single strike, his head heavily hit the ground.
