American Comics: The Matrix

Chapter 70 The Destroyer Attacks

The ultimate evolution.

Or it can be called the "Ultimate Omnitrix". The principle is to put alien creatures in the worst simulation environment, then let them evolve freely for about a million years, and obtain new DNA after evolution for transformation.

It is a new function added by Albedo after stealing the core of Azmis's unfinished small watch.

After feeling the divine power that could make species evolve, Bant couldn't help but think of the Ultimate Watch.

Although Azmis looks down on the Ultimate Evolution, it is only because this function breaks the natural evolution of organisms, turning the broken watch into a weapon with increased destructive power, which goes against his original intention and may make the DNA in the watch self-aware.

It’s not because the ultimate evolution function is useless.

Bant did intend to add the ultimate evolution function to the watch, but the "evolution" he mastered at the moment was still very weak, and it was a difficult problem for him to apply it to the machine.

After a moment, he undid the transformation and then recorded Loki's genes.

This time, the watch doesn’t split into two different silhouettes.

The silhouette of the Frost Giant also looks humanoid, but there are still differences in the details.

Bant did not attempt to transform.

Loki is the weakest among the Frost Giants. Normal giants are extremely tall, and transforming rashly would only attract unnecessary attention.

On the other hand, after obtaining the Cosmic God and the Old Gods, Bant actually didn't think much of the Frost Giants' genes.

This can be seen from the fact that he was so perfunctory that he didn't even bother to think of a special nickname for the Frost Giant.

After doing all this, Bant calmed down for a while and prepared to wait for Loki to send out the Destroyer.

But the Destroyer didn't come, but he did get a call from Peter.

"Hey, Ben, how was the trip?"

Now, New York.

With a hot dog in hand, Peter crawled in front of the gargoyle of an old-school building, lifted half of his mask, and called Bant.

He was eating a hot dog while talking, which caused his speech to be a little slurred.

Fortunately, Bant was already accustomed to his behavior and was able to discern what he was talking about.

"After you went back that day, were you the one who rescued Congressman Andrea's daughter and other victims?" Peter asked without waiting for Bant to answer.

He only learned the news when he went to the Daily Bugle this morning.

At that time, Jameson poked him on the head and scolded him.

The news that Spider-Man rescued Congressman Andrea's daughter has spread to other newspapers, but he, the official photographer who takes pictures for Spider-Man, has no news at all.

Peter was completely confused until he read the newspaper and found out that after Andrea was rescued, she immediately told the media that the person who saved her was Spider-Man. At the same time, the murderer of the incident was also identified.

Peter recognized him as the weird guy he and Matt were tracking that day.

"Spider-Man, killed the murderer?"

Watching the report, Peter muttered to himself in disbelief.

"That's right!" Jameson took his leather-shod feet off the desk, pinched his cigar, and said with an "I knew it" expression, "Look, this criminal finally showed his true colors! Who does he think he is? He despises the law! He kills people!"

Robbie on the side couldn't stand it anymore and said awkwardly: "Sir, the dead person is a criminal, and Spider-Man saved almost a hundred people..."

Peter was lost in thought, and felt the sound of Robbie and Jameson's argument becoming increasingly distant.

To be honest, it was hard for him to imagine that Bant would actually kill someone.

This news made him a little distraught. After thinking about it for several hours, he decided to call Bant, and the current scene happened.

"It's me." Bant had nothing to deny. For the time being, there was no third Spider-Man in New York.

But Peter found it hard to accept.

"But...you killed him!"

Hearing this, Bant on the other end of the phone knew what Peter wanted to say, but he didn't care.

He changed his hand to hold the phone, leaned against the wall, and asked Peter back.

"What's the problem? You must know how cruel that man is. There are almost hundreds of victims found this time. Even among those who survived, many had their hands or feet sawed off by him. Don't you think he shouldn't die?"

Peter was silent.

In fact, he could also understand Bant.

You know, just by looking at the bloody photos and texts published in the newspapers, he was already burning with anger in his chest, and he wanted to punch Muse to death, not to mention Bant who was at the scene at the time.

But he still felt that Bant's approach was a bit ill-considered.

He felt that no matter what, people should stick to a bottom line: no matter how angry they are, they should not kill people, otherwise they would be no different from criminals.

"But you can hand him over to the police and let the law..."

"Come on," Bant interrupted.

"That Muse is a lunatic. Who knows if the judges will show leniency to him because of his mental problems?"

In fact, this possibility is not very high. It is more likely that some people who know that Muse has special abilities may try every means to protect him.

Peter seemed about to say something else, but Bant changed the subject.

"Okay, Peter. How's the progress on the school rebuilding?"

"Well, it looks like school won't start for the next month." Peter's attention was indeed diverted.

One month?
Bant thought about it and felt that a month should be enough.

So he said, "Tell Uncle Ben and Aunt May that my trip may be extended."

"But……"

"Peter, I just want to relax."

Hearing this, Peter on the other end of the phone also fell silent.

He thought that Bant was traveling far away because he felt guilty about killing someone and wanted to relieve his guilt by relaxing.

"After killing someone, Xiaoban must have felt bad, but I just blamed him..."

Peter thought to himself.

"Okay, I'll cover for you." He said with some heartache, "Promise me, don't let your imagination run wild, okay? Don't walk into a dead end, it's not your fault."

"What dead end? Why should I let my imagination run wild?"

After hanging up the phone, Bant had a puzzled expression on his face. It was obvious that Peter must have misunderstood something.

"My stupid cousin, I really do want to go and relax, but it's a little far away, so far that it's not on Earth!"

Bant shook his head and looked dozens of miles away.

There, a huge tornado kicked up dust and sand, connecting the sky and the earth. The sky darkened in an instant, and thick clouds pressed down, as if the sky had collapsed.

The Destroyer is coming!
