"But, how is this possible? How did you do it?"
Mantis was still completely bewildered even now, and she couldn't help but exclaim:
"If Father knew you had this kind of ability, he wouldn't even refuse if you said you wanted to be his father."
Everyone: ...
This roast is really... killing me with filial piety.
"Just because your father couldn't do it doesn't mean I can't." Peter gave an explanation with a calm face:
"Unlike your trash Celestial father who was composed entirely of energy, I merely absorbed his power."
"My own human body, as well as the energy systems I previously possessed, will not disappear just because I obtained his Celestial Energy."
"They will only continue to fuse with the abilities I acquire later!"
"And my original energy system itself possesses the characteristic of bestowing blessings."
Hearing this, Sif was suddenly taken aback and then couldn't help but blurt out:
"Do you mean... the blessing of Asgardian divine power?!"
"Something like that~" Peter couldn't help but give Sif an appreciative look:
"You should understand the mechanism of the Meow-Meow Hammer better than I do; as long as they are deemed worthy, even a mortal can use the power of Thor."
"What I just did was equivalent to turning my energy into a blessed weapon and handing it to Mantis. Of course, the energy involved isn't just limited to Asgardian divine power."
In fact, the real key to being able to share energy with others so easily was actually the chakra seed within Peter's own body.
Chakra was born from the fruit of the God Tree, and this energy itself has the properties of sharing and conduction.
Now in Celestial Mode, Peter was equivalent to a Tailed Beast in the Ninja World, which was composed entirely of condensed Chakra.
Naruto could distribute the Nine-Tailed Chakra to the entire Allied Shinobi Forces; Peter, of course, could also use the same characteristics to bless Tony and the others.
"Is there an upper limit to this energy sharing, or will it cause damage to our bodies?" Dr. Connors and Dr. Otto, who had come over to listen in, couldn't help but have their scientific curiosity explode, wanting to further study the special structure of this energy.
Peter pondered for a long while before answering:
"This is only a temporary buff. I can take the power back at any time, so as long as it's not kept active for days on end, it shouldn't harm your bodies."
"But... even if it does harm your bodies, it doesn't matter~ In any case, whether it's me or Gwen, we can easily heal any damage you suffer to restore you."
Everyone: ...
My God, he even provides after-sales service!
"Alright, now is not the time to be dazed. As I said before, next, it's time for your ascension!"
As he spoke, Peter snapped his fingers.
In the next second, dozens of golden flames flew out of his body and directly merged into the bodies of everyone present.
The moment the flames flew into her body, Gwen's body jolted violently.
She felt it—a transformation that was almost like being reborn.
The Spider-Sense within her was magnified countless times; it was no longer a passive perception, but an active 'Divine Sense Search'!
As long as she wished, she could instantly locate the whereabouts of anyone within the entire scope of New York and vaguely sense their current state!
At that thought, Gwen couldn't help but press her web-shooters. In the next second, golden webs sprayed out.
These webs had actually completely transcended physical concepts, being fully enhanced into energy bodies, and they could deform or move according to Gwen's will while in flight!
Noticing this, Felicia couldn't help but try as well. She opened her mouth and sang two operatic notes, and a set of Dragon-Scale Dress unexpectedly manifested on her body. Not only did she receive an energy Battle Suit,
Everyone present directly received golden armor constructed from energy dragon scales!
Sif, Daisy, Natasha... everyone tried their abilities one by one and found that their power had received an unprecedented boost!
Once everyone had moved past the excitement of the power-up, Peter smiled at them and asked:
"Now, do you have the confidence to deal with those green-skinned bastards?"
"That goes without saying!" Tony couldn't help but speak up arrogantly:
"If I don't beat the crap out of that Gravik guy today, it'll only be because he took a clean dump this morning!"
"Then... let's go!"
"To Chernobyl!"
...
As time passed, the United Nations, under Peter's instruction, began a global live broadcast channel.
Through satellite relay, in an instant, every household on Earth with a television or internet focused their gaze on Chernobyl.
Many people even spontaneously took to the streets, preparing to watch this war that would directly decide the survival of human civilization.
In New York's Times Square, the giant screens were crowded with citizens who had stopped to watch.
London, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, Delhi, Beijing, Sydney... the public screens in major cities across the globe were surrounded by dense crowds of people.
Everyone held their breath.
Waiting for those heroes who were once deeply misunderstood by them to resolve this war.
"They're here!"
Above Chernobyl, the quinjet, enhanced by the Wheel of Fortune, came whistling in.
The aircraft landed steadily on the scorched and withered Earth of Chernobyl.
As the hatch opened, a figure incredibly familiar to the global audience slowly walked out.
It was The Arbiter!
And behind him, Ghost-Spider, Nightingale, Black Widow, Quake, Iron Man, and other Superheroes filed out.
All told, there were no more than fifty people.
Standing opposite them, however, were more than two thousand seven hundred Super Skrull soldiers who had undergone genetic fusion.
The numerical disparity was close to a terrifying sixty to one.
When they saw this comparison of lineups, the bullet chats and comment sections across the globe and on the internet instantly exploded.
"How the hell are they supposed to fight this? Sixty to one, how can they win?"
"The Arbiter is awesome, no doubt, but what about the others? How can they possibly deal with those monsters who look ridiculously strong with just their abilities?"
"In this kind of situation, don't tell me Lord Arbiter really doesn't intend to make a move."
"It's over, it's over, it's over. Humanity is doomed..."
Gravik obviously also noticed this lopsided numerical comparison.
He laughed.
He laughed very wantonly.
"Arbiter! I thought you would bring the entire United Nations army over, but after all that fuss, it's just this few people?"
He folded his arms, his tone full of lofty mockery:
"Do you really think you can deal with my Super Skrull army with just these people?"
"Or do you not want to lose too much face and just want to commit suicide in front of these people?"
"If that's the case, seeing as you're a respectable opponent, I can help you temporarily cut off the global satellite broadcast."
Facing Gravik's ridicule, Peter just picked his ear with a speechless expression:
"I say, green-skinned freak, are you done talking in your sleep?"
"If you're done, you can wait for death now."
"What?!" Gravik still couldn't believe how an Earthling could be so gutsy.
"What else?" Peter asked back with a calm face:
"When exactly are you going to realize that no matter how many mongrel dogs there are, they're still just dogs?"
"You!" Gravik's face twisted in anger, and he decided to stop wasting words with Peter:
"All together, crush them for me!"
