LRAB Chapter 140 The Spider Family That Knows the Future
Chapter 140 The Spider Family That Knows the Future
It has to be said that Toby has a knack for training dogs; last time, Peter even argued that his indiscriminate killing was wrong.
This time, Peter started reflecting on the problem from his own perspective.
Aside from Peter, the other members of the Spider Family, who are not entirely righteous and are even supervillains to begin with, would not think that Toby's actions were wrong.
What's wrong with killing one criminal to save ten or even more innocent people?
Seeing that none of the Spider Family members objected to his words, Toby then looked at Kingpin:
"Fisk, I'm going to be gone for a while. You tell the New York underworld that if they don't want me to come back and settle scores with them, they'd better behave themselves during this time!"
Kingpin patted his chest slightly upon hearing this: "I will pass on your words and personally crush every rat in the gutter who tries to profit from this disaster!"
Toby nodded and said calmly, "Hmm, I remember the New York City mayoral election is about to start again. This mayor is too incompetent, I don't like him, so when I come back, the Spider Family and Parker Industries will support you as the new mayor of New York City."
Kingpin's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he couldn't help but smile. "You see right through me. I do indeed intend to run for mayor of New York City, and I assure you that once I'm in office, the New York City government will fully support you and the Spider Family!"
Three months ago, New York was invaded by the Frost Giants. The New York government did nothing about it, and the Spider Family turned the tide. While the Spider Family became famous in New York, many voices also emerged saying that the mayor was incompetent, and many New Yorkers were already dissatisfied with the mayor.
This time, the Chitauri invaded New York on a large scale, but the New York City government was as incompetent as before, and in the end, they still had to rely on the Spider Family, or even the power of the gods, to deal with the invaders.
Kingpin didn't even need to think; he knew the New York City mayor would be relentlessly criticized.
Moreover, even if no one criticizes him, Kingpin will still arrange for online trolls to lead the criticism, just like last time.
Because this was an opportunity for him, a chance he had long wanted to clear his name!
Of course, Kingpin's redemption wasn't because he had a change of heart, but because he saw the "end" of the path he was on.
The title of "Underground Emperor" may seem prestigious, but it actually represents the end of the entire underground dark world. Kingpin can no longer go any further.
The only way for him to continue to improve is to change jobs.
It turns from black to gray, and finally to white.
Climbing onto Toby's coattails was Kingpin's best option for changing careers.
That's why he did everything he could to be good to Toby's family before.
Now, time has proven how correct his previous choice was!
At that moment, Tony, who was applying an ice pack to his arm injured in the fight with Doctor Green, also raised his hand: "Since Toby supports you, then my Stark Industries will also support you as the new mayor."
Upon seeing this, Kingpin's face lit up with even greater joy, and he patted Tony's chest, saying, "Thank you very much, Mr. Stark. After I take office, I will also engage in deeper cooperation with Stark Industries!"
With Toby's support, his chances of winning the New York City mayoral election were already over 90%, but with Tony's support, they instantly soared to 100%!
Although the election for mayor of New York City has not yet officially begun, it is tantamount to him being chosen in advance during this meeting!
For Toby, however, this was just a minor incident, not even one of the two important matters he was talking about; it was just something he mentioned casually.
The first important thing is to give the members of the spider family a warning, and the second truly important thing is...
Toby glanced at Nami and Tony's group on his right and said calmly, "Tell them about what happened in your universe. They should be quite curious."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to the four members of the Nano-Tony group.
As Toby said, they had long been curious about the experiences of these four variants who were said to be from another universe.
Tony and Dr. Banner, in particular, felt extremely awkward looking at the nano-Tony opposite them, and the green doctor who was neither Banner nor Hulk.
There's a sense of unease, like seeing a fake version of yourself.
The four from the other universe exchanged glances and ultimately decided to let Captain America speak on their behalf.
Instead of telling the story in a long, rambling way, Captain America selectively recounted key events related to Thanos.
For example, the Battle of New York in 2012 was actually Thanos's attempt to test Earth and obtain the Space Stone.
In their universe, it was Tony who carried a nuclear bomb into the wormhole and destroyed Thanos's Sanctuary One, thus causing the deaths of countless Chitauri soldiers on Earth and ending the crisis.
There was only one strange thing during that time: after the Battle of New York, the Arc Reactor in Tony's chest malfunctioned for some reason, which caused Loki to escape with the Tesseract while they were busy treating Tony.
However, they later found the Tesseract again, but Loki never appeared again.
Everyone reacted differently to Captain America's words.
The focus of everyone else's attention was naturally on Thanos, the mastermind behind it all.
Toby's concern wasn't about Thanos's conspiracy as Captain America mentioned, but rather about the seemingly insignificant disappearance of Loki.
Now it's confirmed: the Loki who ran away is the God of Stories sitting on the golden toilet!
Aside from the fact that the plot of Avengers 1 differed from the original movie due to Loki, the plot of Avengers 3 and the first half of Avengers 4 in the other universe, as told by Captain America, was pretty much the same as Toby's memory.
After all, aside from Loki being killed by Thanos at the very beginning, Loki didn't have much screen time in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, and was insignificant.
After Captain America's explanation, the Spider Family and others in Toby's Universe learned that there would be so many disasters in the future, and that a terrifying purple potato giant was secretly watching Earth!
That sense of crisis instantly arose!
However, as soon as everyone saw the calm and tall figure in the main seat, still expressionless, the sense of crisis that had just arisen instantly subsided.
After all, the future of another universe is ultimately just a reference for their own universe, and it may not necessarily happen.
Because this cosmic Battle of New York is so different from the Battle of New York that Captain America described.
Although Thor has not yet retrieved his hammer, he has gained the support of the entire Asgardian army.
The Captain America who could go toe-to-toe with everyone has yet to appear, but we have gained Toby, who can tear everyone to shreds.
So even if Thanos really comes in the future, as long as Toby is still on Earth, they have no worries that half of their universe's population will be wiped out by Thanos with a snap of his fingers.
The one we should be worried about is Thanos!
