Chapter 168: Chapter 153: Miracle
"What happened?"
Although she couldn't see, Lin Aida, with her keen hearing, had already caught the soft exclamations in the subway car.
Azu smiled slightly and whispered, "It's nothing, just a little spider."
At that moment, at the other end of the car.
Because Peter Parker had suddenly jumped up, the beer from the bottle had spilled onto a black woman.
The black woman looked disgusted and said, "How disgusting, the beer spilled all over me."
Peter Parker, with his messy hair, walked over awkwardly, for some reason placing his hand on her shoulder, only to find it stuck to her clothes as if coated with 502 glue.
"Sorry, I, uh—"
The middle-aged man who had just placed the bottle on Peter Parker's head spoke up, "What are you doing?"
"Let go."
Peter Parker tried to explain, "No, I'm not holding onto the clothes."
"I don't know why it's stuck."
The middle-aged man clearly didn't believe him. The same man who had just been teasing Parker now suddenly felt a surge of righteousness.
He pushed Parker away forcefully.
This push caused Parker to tear the girl's entire dress off her body.
Seeing this, Azu couldn't help but laugh.
He thought to himself, was the dress pre-cut? Otherwise, how could it have been torn off so suddenly?
If it was because Parker was too strong, then logically, he should have pulled the black girl along with him.
But.
She was quite dark, but her figure wasn't bad.
Wearing a peach-colored bra, she looked quite alluring.
"Are you kidding me?"
The man who had just pushed Parker now thought Peter Parker was messing with him.
And, embodying the essence of a human repeater, he kept saying, "Are you kidding me?"
"Sorry, I didn't mean to."
Peter Parker clearly didn't know what was happening to his body. He turned around and grabbed the subway handrail.
Only to find his hand stuck to it, unable to let go.
"Beat him, Rudy!"
The men in the car started to egg him on. The middle-aged man, though old, was still hot-headed and charged forward with a shout.
But Peter Parker seemed to have anticipated it, not only dodging but also kicking the man, sending him sprawling onto a seat.
"Oh, my God."
"Sorry, man, are you okay?" Peter Parker asked nervously.
But his demeanor only made people feel more like they were being messed with.
So other men in the car joined the fight. It had to be admitted, the men in this country had a penchant for violence.
They would start a fight at the slightest provocation.
But next, Peter Parker performed a series of Jackie Chan-like moves.
Through a series of accidental hits, he not only beat the men until they cried out in pain but also added a comedic effect.
"Sorry, really."
"For all of this."
Peter Parker was busy, constantly apologizing.
Amid the apologies, he knocked all the men down.
Azu clapped his hands, "clap clap clap," and gave him a thumbs up.
Peter Parker smiled shyly. At that moment, the handrail he was stuck to finally fell to the ground.
The car's broadcast also sounded.
"Next stop, Coney Island."
"The next and final stop, Coney Island."
The subway arrived at the station.
Azu and Lin Aida got off, watching the future Spider-Man run off into the distance.
He smiled and said to Lin Aida, "Let's find a place to stay. It's getting late."
Unlike the Spider-Man in other Marvel universes, this universe's Spider-Man lived in a remote neighborhood, not the bustling Queens.
Therefore, Azu and Lin Aida could only find an ordinary-looking hotel.
But even ordinary hotels require ID.
Fortunately, this wasn't a formal hotel, so after receiving a $100 tip, the hotel employee forgot about the issue.
The next day.
Azu lay in bed, thinking about what to do next.
"The Amazing Spider-Man" is independent of other Spider-Man universes, especially having no connection to the Marvel Universe.
Therefore, in this world.
There are no overly powerful humans.
Besides Spider-Man himself, the only other significant figure would be Dr. Curt Connors, the Lizard, who would appear soon.
But both of them, Azu could beat with one hand tied behind his back.
So in this universe, Azu could experience it with a vacation mindset.
"That would be a waste of this opportunity."
"Hmm, because of the 'Traveler's Ring,' I can return to this universe later."
"But this universe doesn't have special resources, like Wakanda's vibranium."
Azu slapped his forehead: "Right, Oscorp."
"I remember Oscorp in this universe is quite powerful, but the Osborn family has a hereditary disease."
"Soon, old Osborn will die."
"That's why Curt Connors is researching life-extending elixirs."
"Ha, what Dr. Connors can't solve."
"I can solve."
Azu floated up: "Yes, I can go to Oscorp."
"Save old Osborn, control the corporation from behind the scenes, and change the plot of this universe."
"That way, the rewards should be decent."
"Too bad there's no hidden benefits like Mother Boxes or Infinity Stones here."
"Maybe flirt with Gwen Stacy, so she and Spider-Man don't end up together?"
"Tsk, boring."
As he spoke, Azu had already changed into his vibranium suit, with a red cape fluttering behind him.
Then he took out a phone from his inventory.
'The X-Force Summoning Phone'!
He planned to summon an X-Force member to protect Lin Aida.
Considering Lin Aida is female, Azu only had one choice.
"I hope she won't scare Xiao Lin."
Azu opened the phonebook and dialed Harley Quinn's number.
After a moment, the call connected.
A voice came through: "Harley Quinn is not at home right now, please leave a message after the beep, haha."
It was clearly her.
Azu coughed: "I should be calling a mobile phone."
Then, the bathroom door of the hotel opened.
Harley Quinn, with her pigtails, wearing a printed T-shirt and denim shorts, her long legs clad in fishnet stockings, walked out.
"No no, this is a landline."
Then her expression clearly faltered, and she caught sight of Azu in his vibranium suit, immediately drawing her flashy revolver.
When she saw Azu clearly, Harley Quinn threw the gun away and pounced on him.
She hugged Azu warmly: "Mr. Magician, we meet again, I've missed you so much."
Her sexy, fiery body pressed against Azu's, leaving a big red lipstick mark on his face.
Then Harley Quinn looked around in surprise: "Where is this?"
"Did you teleport me here?"
"This is so exciting!"
"Hahaha."
"What, pounce on Mr. Magician and then have him?"
Harley Quinn shrugged and said to Azu, "Sorry, I have auditory hallucinations."
Azu began to wonder if he should summon another team member.
With Harley Quinn's mental state, leaving her with Lin Aida might actually put Lin Aida in more danger.
However, he had absolute control over the characters summoned by items, so he wasn't worried about Harley Quinn ignoring his commands.
Azu pointed to the next room: "I'm going out for a bit. While I'm gone, if the girl opposite loses even a single hair..."
Harley Quinn turned around, shaking her butt: "Then you can beat me, hit me hard, the harder the better, I like it, haha."
What a crazy woman.
Azu smiled, then his figure blurred as he passed through the wall and left.
"So cool, that move again!"
"Mr. Magician is so charming."
Harley Quinn blew kisses in the direction Azu had left.
Oscorp Tower.
In an office, Dr. Curt Connors, with his disabled arm, looked at the black man before him.
This was old Osborn's confidant.
"Dr. Ratha, I've told you, we're still in the experimental phase. There are no results yet that can be applied to humans."
"It's not that fast. After all, this is cross-species genetic fusion."
"It's not as simple as cutting and pasting a gene segment to succeed."
Dr. Connors tried to persuade the black man before him.
The black man with rough skin said, "The problem is, he doesn't have much time."
"His condition is terrible, Doctor."
"You must know, it was because of his expectations for you."
"That he supported your research in this area. Everything you have was provided by Oscorp."
"So I think you should speed up, and keep him alive before God takes him away."
Dr. Connors said gravely, "If that's God's will, I think no one can go against it."
At that moment.
A voice interjected, "No need to look at God's face. If you want old Osborn to live, take me to see him."
The two couldn't help but look, and saw a man in black combat attire, with a red cape fluttering, standing outside the window.
Then the man's body became ethereal, losing substance.
Like a ghost, he passed through the wall and stood on the floor.
"You are..." Dr. Connors looked at Azu in surprise.
Azu smiled slightly, "You can call me John."
He looked at Dr. Ratha, "What are you waiting for? For old Osborn to breathe his last?"
Dr. Ratha was cautious, "He won't die that quickly. But you, how do I know if you really have the ability?"
"Or if you have other motives."
Azu chuckled lightly, "You think I don't know where old Osborn is?"
"This world holds no secrets from me."
"The reason I'm wasting words with you is that I don't want to scare old Osborn to death when I appear."
"If he really dies, I don't have the ability to bring him back to life."
"Well, not yet."
"Who knows in the future."
Looking at Azu, Dr. Connors and Dr. Ratha exchanged glances.
The latter even had the impulse to call security, but Azu's method of appearance was too bizarre.
Appearing dozens of floors up, then floating in like a ghost.
It made Dr. Ratha hesitate to act rashly.
Azu had no patience for more words. He glanced at Dr. Ratha, who suddenly looked terrified.
Then he walked towards the window, repeatedly looking back at Connors but saying nothing, which puzzled Connors.
Then, the one-armed doctor watched as Dr. Ratha suddenly jumped onto the windowsill.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Get down from there!"
Dr. Connors shouted.
At that moment, Dr. Ratha jumped out without hesitation.
Jumping off the building.
"Oh my God."
"God!"
"What is he doing!" Dr. Connors covered his forehead with his only remaining arm.
Then he noticed that Azu had disappeared.
Dr. Connors didn't know that Dr. Ratha had just been mentally invaded by Azu, controlling his actions.
Making him jump off the building.
At that moment, Dr. Ratha screamed.
His brain was congested, his eyes bulging.
He saw the ground getting closer.
Some say that when you jump off a building, it's over in an instant.
But in reality, it's not. Under the stimulation of fear, the senses are affected.
Making the process seem endlessly long.
Just as Dr. Ratha was about to die of fright, he suddenly found his falling speed slowing down.
In the building's windows, he saw Azu holding him.
Dr. Ratha looked up.
And heard Azu say, "Now, will you take me to see Osborn?"
Dr. Ratha nodded desperately. He had no doubt.
If he refused, this Mr. John would probably let him experience the feeling of being a human projectile again.
In a classical but somewhat eerie villa.
Norman Osborn of this universe was at the end of his life.
Unlike other Spider-Man universes.
In the Amazing Spider-Man universe, the Osborn family seemed cursed.
Every direct member of the family inherited a strange disease.
At first, it was just trembling fingers.
But later, like Norman Osborn, they could only lie in bed, kept alive by various drugs.
Today, Norman Osborn was unusually conscious.
But for him, this was more of a torture.
He could feel his body rotting, feel death slowly eroding him.
He knew he didn't have much time left.
Now he could only pin his hopes on Dr. Connors' cross-species genetic fusion project.
But he also knew that the project had been going on for many years.
Yet, Dr. Connors still hadn't achieved any results applicable to humans.
Am I going to die like this?
Norman Osborn was very unwilling.
He had built a vast empire, he still had many ambitions unfulfilled.
He was unwilling to die like this.
Then he heard footsteps, heard his confidant asking the nurse, "How is he today?"
A moment later, Dr. Ratha walked in.
Norman Osborn noticed that behind Ratha, there was another person.
Wearing a metallic bodysuit, with a red cape.
Blonde hair, blue eyes, hands behind his back.
A disdainful smile on his lips.
Like a god looking down, despising everything in the mortal world.
Even he, in this man's eyes, was as insignificant as an ant.
"Who is he?" old Osborn struggled to speak, his voice hoarse and unpleasant, as if his vocal cords had rotted.
"This is Mr. John."
Dr. Ratha glanced back at Azu, then said, "Mr. John claims he can cure you, sir."
Norman Osborn laughed as if he had heard a joke.
"Now, unless God is willing to save me, no one can save me," old Osborn said.
Azu, with his hands behind his back, walked to the bed, looking at the numerous tubes inserted into him.
"That's not necessarily true."
Azu opened his store, first exchanging a 'Proficiency Essence' for 20 'Dim Essences.'
Then he spent 50 'Dim Essences' to purchase [NK Gene Modification Serum. Improved Version].
Immediately, Azu's hand held an injector.
Old Osborn had been staring at Azu, not knowing where he had taken the injector from, and was momentarily stunned.
Then he heard Azu say, "Just one shot, and you'll be alive and kicking."
"And you'll become quite powerful, with superhuman strength, and randomly awaken a superpower."
"How about it? God wouldn't do this for you, would he?"
Old Osborn looked as if he had heard a fairy tale, dumbfounded.
He didn't believe Azu's words, but out of fear of death, he was like a drowning man seeing a lifeline.
Willing to try.
"If it's as good as you say, I will repay you, stranger."
Azu smiled, "Then, how do you plan to repay me?"
Old Osborn tentatively said, "I can give you a sum of money, $10 million, how about that?"
"You're very generous, but I'm not interested in money."
"To me, they're just boring numbers."
Azu thought to himself, this wasn't showing off, it was the truth.
With control over the 'Information Domain,' if he wanted, he could control all the wealth in the world.
Let alone a mere $10 million.
"Then what do you want?" old Osborn asked.
"I need a servant, a loyal servant," Azu said with a smile.
Old Osborn was stunned again, tentatively asking, "Are you talking about me?"
Azu shrugged, "Is there anyone else in this room who needs saving?"
"Has your precious son returned?"
Only then did old Osborn confirm that this man actually wanted him to be a servant?
He found it laughable, he was Norman Osborn.
Even the President had to be polite when meeting him.
But this man actually wanted him to be a servant?
Old Osborn almost kicked Azu out.
But the words that came out were, "If it's really as useful as you say."
"Then from today on, I am your loyal servant."
Azu smiled, lifted old Osborn's arm, didn't even bother with alcohol disinfection, and directly injected him.
After the injection, he smiled, "Remember what you said."
"Today I can grant you a new life, but if you betray me, I can take it back."
With that, Azu paid no more attention to old Osborn.
His figure blurred, using 'Teleportation,' he suddenly disappeared from the room.
In the large house, old Osborn suddenly roared, his body arching up.
His body began to wriggle, his skin turned black, his eyes glowed red, and sharp teeth grew in his mouth.
But soon, he returned to normal.
His body was no longer emaciated, his skin was no longer black, his eyes returned to their original color, and the teeth in his mouth were no different from usual.
Old Osborn looked up in disbelief at Dr. Ratha, "I'm cured?"
The [NK Gene Modification Serum. Improved Version] not only turned Osborn into a superhuman but also provided a full-body repair.
It was this full-body repair that fixed old Osborn's genetic defects, revitalizing him.
"You're fine."
"Sir, you look even healthier than me," Dr. Ratha exclaimed, "This is truly a miracle!"
