The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 52

"Not only did I fail to teach you well, I also led you astray." Yang Le raised his left hand and looked at the Omnitrix on it.

"After becoming the true master of the Omnitrix, I became arrogant and started to treat things in a playful manner."

Yang Le felt ashamed when he said this. There were countless examples in front of him, but he was still obsessed with power and blinded. Sure enough, it was true that people would not learn any lessons.

It seems that Azmis is right. He still has a long way to go before he can master powerful strength.

"Happy..." Gwen looked at Yang Le worriedly. She was afraid that Yang Le would get stuck on this matter. She wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know how to start.

"I'm fine Gwen, I just figured out some things." Yang Le raised his head again, and the confusion had disappeared from his eyes.

"I'm such a fool. I found the Omnitrix. If some big shot knew about it, he'd probably be pissed."

"Hmm? Can you tell me what you've figured out?" Gwen raised her right hand like a student. "I'd like to see if I can get any insights from you. After all, I'm not feeling well right now."

"Nothing, I just figured out my own role. From the beginning to the end, it's only the Omnitrix that's powerful, not me. Without me, the Omnitrix is ​​still the most powerful device in the universe, but without the Omnitrix, I'm nothing."

After Yang Le finished speaking, he felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. It really took a lot of courage to admit the real self in front of someone he cared about. To be honest, he had never thought he would dare to say it out loud.

"Don't worry, Gwen. I'm not being self-deprecating. I just know who I am." Yang Le was afraid that Gwen would worry, so he explained immediately.

"I know." Gwen's hand touched Yang Le's face. "But, Harpy, maybe you haven't noticed, but you've actually done something that many people can't do."

"Me?" Yang Le held the hand that was touching his face and looked at Gwen expectantly.

"That's right." Gwen's aqua eyes were filled with tenderness. "You saved Peter and me. Before I met you, Peter and I were like two airplanes without landing gear. We could run out of energy in an instant and crash and die."

"Peter has been bullied for a long time. He seems to be possessed by something dirty. Since the day I met him, I have found that he has been in countless troubles. I have been trying to help him solve them, but to be honest, I am a little powerless. After all, my life is also a mess."

Gwen said this with a self-deprecating smile.

"It sounds funny, doesn't it, that a poor guy helps another poor guy? Unlike Peter, Peter is the one who gets into trouble, but I'm the one who creates the trouble. I always feel that what I'm best at isn't playing the drums, but making a mess of everything."

Gwen gently pinched Yang Le's face and spoke softly.

"Until you showed up. You saved Peter and me and changed us."

"How come I didn't know I was so charming." Yang Le blushed a little when Gwen looked at him, and said half-jokingly to ease the embarrassment.

Gwen shook her head slightly and said, "You don't understand. To you, it might just be driving away some thugs, but to us, it's more than that."

"First, it's Peter. Actually, I only found out recently that my protection only resulted in Peter's inferiority complex and more bullying. Those bastards always said that Peter was a wimp who hid behind girls."

"I think that if you post what those people said online, those bastards might be in danger." Yang Le said seriously.

Feeling Gwen's fingers pinching his face more and more, Yang Le quickly begged for mercy. "I was wrong. I won't interrupt or say irrelevant things again."

"Hmph!" Gwen glared at Yang Le in reproach, then composed herself and continued.

"Like I said before, you discovered Peter's true thoughts and taught him how to resist. You allowed Peter to defeat Thompson on his own. Peter earned everyone's respect on his own, and that's what Peter really wanted."

"And I only knew how to protect him, but I didn't see his true thoughts at all. Our roles were completely reversed, as if you were Peter's long-time friend."

"Well, if you've been watching Spider-Man for more than a decade, you'd understand him this well too," Yang Le complained in his mind.

"Sure enough, I'm only good at making a mess of things. If things continue to develop, I can't even imagine what will happen."

Yang Le's face was solemn. According to the original development, Peter's heart would be twisted under the long-term bullying, and he would turn into a lizard man and finally die in the arms of Gwen who turned into Spider-Man. This was the part he knew.

Thinking of this, Yang Le interrupted and said, "Gwen, I have something to say to you."

Afterwards, Yang Le told Gwen about Peter's situation. Gwen was so shocked that she even forgot about her self-pity and quit her online depression.

"Peter was artificially turned into a monster!?" Gwen was shocked and angry.

"Who is it? Why did he do this?"

"I don't know about this now." Yang Le shook his head.

"But I have a solution to the mystery."

"What method?" Gwen asked quickly.

"Clock King." Yang Le slowly uttered a name.

"That's the alien hero I used to save you just now. He has the power to control time. He can recreate what happened in a certain place in the past like a movie."

"In other words, as long as they know the crime scene, no criminal can hide from the Clock King. Of course, if he covers his face, just ignore what I said."

"With him, all the police and detectives in the world will be out of work, right? Is there really such a creature in the world? It can actually control time at will." Gwen thought of her father. If George had this ability, he would definitely be very happy.

"Could it be someone from the Hand who did it?" Gwen guessed. Although she already had the correct answer, she still wanted to reason it out, perhaps because of what she had heard from her policeman father.

"We can't rule out this possibility. I feel like the other party is very purposeful. After all, a otaku like Peter doesn't want to be the best experimental subject." Yang Le was also happy to discuss with Gwen and bring her out of her online depression.

Maybe it was because he was also depressed on the Internet just now, he always felt like looking in the mirror when looking at Gwen just now. He felt a little embarrassed, so it was better to change the subject quickly.

I wish I could be as determined as General Duanmu, and move forward towards a goal unwaveringly. It is indeed easier said than done.
