American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Can Chapter 30 be rushed?

At this moment, Xiao Xian, who was driving home, was unaware that Peter had planned to take an unconventional approach to solve the problem at its root.

Of course, Xiao Xian wasn't too bothered by knowing this. Now that the reward for Tomie-Super Regeneration (Modified+) had arrived, Xiao Xian could freely choose the flesh and blood to be resurrected. Not to mention Peter, even if Superman came, it would be very troublesome for him to completely kill Xiao Xian.

However, unlike Superman, who would have difficulty killing Xiao Xian, a trainee sorcerer in Kamar-Taj could easily finish him off if he mastered techniques like Soul Impact.

"The scenery is beautiful under the bright sun, with red flowers and green grass. I run happily forward, traversing green hills without growing old." After parking his car in the underground parking lot, Xiao Xian, who had completed two tasks in a row, walked along happily while turning his car key.

Suddenly, Xiao Xian felt like someone was watching him from behind, but when he turned around, he saw nothing.

"Could it be that someone from Osborn followed me here to conduct a background check?"

With doubts in his mind, Xiao Xian began to struggle with whether or not to go home, after all, there was still Tomie at home. Turning around, he saw Spider-Man hanging upside down in front of him.

"Ah ha~ Spider-Man, what a coincidence, to run into you here." Pretending not to know Spider-Man's true identity, Xiao Xian greeted him with a smile.

"You shouldn't have betrayed Tomie." Spider-Man, or rather Peter, didn't use a falsetto, but spoke directly to Xiao Xian in his original voice.

"Um," Xiao Xian said, looking at Spider-Man, "it's hard for me to pretend I don't know your true identity." After a moment of silence, he said, "Spider-Man cares about this?"

"I am Peter Parker, May Parker's nephew, and the one you told Tomie to stay away from me." Peter took off his hood, fell down, and looked into Xiao Xian's eyes.

"Um, is it appropriate for you to reveal your identity like this? I remember you're wanted by the police, right? Aren't you afraid I'll report you?" It really was a self-destructive act. Xiao Xian looked at Peter, who directly took off his hood, and said speechlessly.

"I took off the hood so you could die knowing why," Peter said, pulling a poisoned dagger from his bag and stabbing Xiao Xian in the abdomen.

"Ouch! That hurts! What did you put on the knife? It's burning! Couldn't you have put some numbing cream on it?"

Peter was too fast, and Xiao Xian, who had no intention of dodging, only managed to exclaim and complain after being stabbed.

"It's a deadly poison. It can destroy your nervous system and internal organs. Just a little bit will kill you," Peter explained, stirring the poison with his knife. "Go without worry. I'll take good care of Tomie."

"It's not like anyone cares about Tomie. Stabbing me in the heart with that knife has the same effect, ouch~ it hurts. Please do it again, aim for the heart, and be quick and clean."

Writhing in pain, likely due to his regenerative abilities, the poison's damage and subsequent regeneration caused Xiao Xian immense suffering. Xiao Xian actually carried a knife, but he had no intention of using it to kill himself, nor of taking the opportunity to stab Peter.

Peter is definitely Tomie's admirer now. Let's use him to complete the mission first. As for revenge, we can do it later. Even if Peter dies, we can find his soul in hell and give him a thousand cuts and be engulfed in flames.

"Strange, the instructions say that a person will die within five seconds of contact." Peter looked at Xiao Xian, who was grimacing in pain, pulled out his knife, and was very puzzled. This was a super poison that he had stolen from the Osborn family.

If it weren't for the blood splattering everywhere, Peter would have doubted whether he had actually pierced the hole.

"You probably bought expired medication, buddy, hurry up! Don't count on that junk. Heart, neck, brain—any of these places could be fatal. Can you be quick about it? If you don't stab me soon, I'm going to scream! You don't want anyone to see the crime scene, do you?"

Feeling that his wound was almost completely healed by the super regeneration, Xiao Xian hurriedly said, "If Peter gives up now, wouldn't I have been stabbed for nothing? It's really not easy to complete a mission these days."

"..." How come he's the one being threatened now? It seems like he's the one killing, and Xiao Xian is the one being killed, right? Holding the knife, Peter looked at Xiao Xian, who was threatening him, and felt a little insecure.

Moreover, Peter hadn't really grasped the concept of killing before because he was so preoccupied with Tomie. But now, seeing blood spurting everywhere, even splashing onto his face, Peter started to feel scared. Unlike theft, killing someone to steal a woman would completely ruin his superhero status if discovered, and he might even have nightmares for the rest of his life and spend his entire life in prison.

Especially when the knife was pulled out, some blood even spurted into Peter's mouth. Peter's stomach spasmed, and a strong urge to vomit rushed to his brain. This scene was still too stimulating for Peter, who had only recently gained superpowers.

"Hurry up! What the hell are you dawdling for? Do you even know why you're single? Your initiative is terrible, you know? It's something that could be easily solved with a single cut, what are you dawdling about?"

Seeing Peter hesitate, Xiao Xian panicked. "Hey buddy, this is murder! Can't you be serious? You can't even get past your own mental hurdle, why are you going down this deadly path?"

"Stop talking!" Peter held a knife to Xiao Xian's neck. "Promise me you'll leave Amelia and Tomie from now on, and maybe I'll spare your life."

"Damn, with my temper, I'm not even hiding it from people when I'm poaching someone, huh?" Seeing this, Xiao Xian knew where Peter's focus was. It was still Tomie. Peter, you're a real simp.

"And I'll leave Tomie from now on. Let me tell you, either you kill me right now, or I'll go back and sleep with Tomie, just like I did with Aunt Mei at your house yesterday. And I'm going to take Tomie with me, move abroad, and run away. You'll never see Tomie again in your life, you'll never even be able to hold Tomie's hand. You coward, choose for yourself."

He was worried that if he crashed into it, the mission wouldn't be complete. Otherwise, Xiao Xian would have crashed into it himself by now. Xiao Xian wasn't afraid of Peter holding a knife to his neck at all; in fact, he almost laughed.

"You forced me to do this!" Hearing Xiao Xian mention what happened with Aunt Mei yesterday and that he was going to leave with Tomie, Peter couldn't take it anymore. His eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted as he stabbed Xiao Xian in the heart with a knife and twisted it forcefully.

"You'll pay for this, I promise." Finally, the mission was complete. Seeing the system notification, Xiao Xian gave Peter the middle finger and complained, "You even poisoned the knife? You're a real dog! Do you know that hurts a lot more than a normal knife?"

"You forced me to do this. I had no choice. I can't live without Tomie." After the surgery was completed, Peter looked at Xiao Xian, who was covered in blood and had given him the middle finger, and murmured.

"We'll see each other again soon." A strong feeling of dizziness washed over him, and Xiao Xian smiled at Peter.

Then Xiao Xian's vision went black as he entered a peculiar space. In this space, there were light curtains of different sizes, each displaying a different scene. Xiao Xian suddenly realized that he had achieved death in the conventional sense, triggering the effect of Tomie-Super Regeneration (Modified+). He could choose the flesh and blood core he wanted to be reborn from.

What's absurd is that among a bunch of light screens, Xiao Xian also saw a small light screen, which was a mouth view. Not only could he see teeth, but through the mouth that opened from time to time, Xiao Xian could also see his own body. If nothing unexpected happened, this was Peter stained with his blood.
