Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings.

Hulk's body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Amidst the smoke and dust, the battlefield suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

The piercing high-frequency electrical sound disappeared, and Hulk's screams stopped abruptly.

The sudden silence made Gwen, Felicia, Tony, and the others in the distance unconsciously put their hearts in their throats.

After an unknown amount of time, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and everyone was able to see the scene clearly.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Peter, having abandoned his knight form, stood upright like a javelin.

Beneath his feet, the powerful green monster that had rendered the military completely helpless had vanished.

Instead, there was a naked man with a large hole cut open in his chest.

It was Bruce Banner.

He had already fainted, but the horrific wound was healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Peter's Hell Thrust, though it didn't kill Hulk completely, instilled in him an unprecedented sense of fear.

In addition, Hulk's previous outbursts of anger have reached the limit that Banner can currently withstand.

Therefore, no matter how unwilling Hulk was, he could only silently return to the depths of Banner's heart after exhausting his last bit of strength to help Banner repair his body.

Everyone looked at Banner, who was lying unconscious on the ground, and then at Peter, who was standing there seemingly lost in thought. They were filled with awe and respect.

Little did he know, Peter was actually laughing hysterically inside.

His smile wasn't just because he had mastered Armament Haki, but also because he had just received a generous reward from Hulk:

[Rare purple item detected: Banner's Purple Stretch Pants]

[These elastic pants, which even the Hulk cannot destroy, contain a peculiar power of rules; perhaps they can be used to research something extraordinary.]

[Sacrifice will earn you 8000 points]

[Sacrifice Points Balance: 20000]

A full 20,000 sacrifice points!

We've never fought such a rich battle before!

Peter had already foreseen that next month's product refresh might be absolutely insane!

While everyone was filled with awe for Peter, and Peter himself was so immersed in the joy of his harvest that he could not extricate himself from it.

The roar of propellers came from the sky.

A military helicopter circled down, the cabin door opened, and a sprightly old man with a white beard and general's epaulettes on his shoulders jumped out with a beautiful blonde, blue-eyed woman.

The beautiful young woman had barely landed when she picked up Banner without a second thought.

She was Banner's first love—Betty Ross.

The old man beside her was, of course, General Ross.

Betty picked up Banner and anxiously looked him up and down. Only after confirming that Banner was still breathing did she breathe a sigh of relief, and then she hugged Banner and began to sob softly.

General Ross glanced at the devastated Brooklyn, then at Peter, Tony, Gwen, and Felicia in the arena, his expression shifting.

After a moment, he tried to adopt a dignified yet amiable demeanor and began to speak:

"Mr. Arbiter, Mr. Stark, Ms. Ghost Spider, and Ms. Nightingale... On behalf of the military and this country, I thank you for your heroic actions."

"You saved this city; you are true heroes!"

General Ross's official tone became increasingly fluent, and by the end he appeared incredibly sincere, even extending a hand to Peter affectionately, as if the disaster had nothing to do with him.

Gwen and Felicia, unaware of the situation, felt a little embarrassed upon hearing such a solemn expression of gratitude from a general, and hid behind Peter, unsure of what to say.

Tony, on the other hand, looked like he was constipated.

He certainly knew the ins and outs of the matter, but he ultimately had close ties with the military.

Moreover, deep down, he didn't really want to go against the military or even the entire country.

So, despite cursing the old man in his heart, Tony ultimately suppressed his dissatisfaction and didn't openly criticize the old man.

In an instant, everyone turned their attention to Peter, eager to see how he would respond.

Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Peter hesitated to reach out, only coldly staring at General Ross.

The atmosphere at the scene instantly plummeted to freezing point.

Ross's outstretched hand froze awkwardly in mid-air.

He looked at Peter, his face alternating between pale and flushed:

"Mr. Arbitrator, what do you mean by this?"

"Heh~ What do I mean?"

Peter sneered, finally raising his eyelids. His clear eyes held a chilling glint that sent shivers down Ross's spine.

"Someone first plotted to kill and study me, but failed. Instead of repenting, they went ahead with their own plan to capture Hulk behind my back, even though I had already given them face."

After messing things up and creating such a huge mess, they hurriedly called me to clean up their mess.

"Now that things are resolved, you just pack your bags, come back and spout some nonsense, and think you can just let the whole thing pass by?"

"You old bastard, you really think I'm some kind of nice guy? You really think I wouldn't dare to massacre the American military?"

Peter's voice wasn't loud, but every word struck like a heavy hammer blow to everyone's hearts.

When Gwen and Felicia heard that everything that had happened today was because of this old man in front of them, and that this guy had even plotted to frame Peter, their expressions changed immediately.

The two women glared at General Ross, their beautiful eyes filled with hostility.

"Peter, you've misunderstood..."

Seeing the situation was turning sour, Colonel Rhodes quickly stepped forward to try and smooth things over.

"Shut up, Rhodes."

Peter showed no mercy, rudely interrupting him and turning to Tony beside Rhodes, asking calmly:

"Tony."

"Do you remember what you promised me?"

Upon hearing this, Tony's body jolted violently.

He looked into Peter's calm eyes, took a deep breath, and spoke in a heavy tone:

"If the military dares to break the rules again, I will leave America with you."

After glancing at Rhodes, he spoke firmly:

"Don't worry, Peter, I, Tony, always keep my word."

"A wise choice," Peter smiled at Tony, then raised his voice a few decibels.

"After all... if we stay in this country, who knows what other crazy things they might do?"

"They dare to treat me like this today, who knows, tomorrow they might dare to use the pretext of your illegal possession of high-threat weapons to force you to hand over your Iron Man suit?"

The moment his words fell, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically once again.

Tony's face instantly turned ashen; he knew that Peter's words were not unfounded speculation.

Rhodes and General Ross looked rather pale at this moment.

After all... they were secretly pushing this matter forward!
