Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings.
Chapter 125: A Show, Praising the Arbiter
Tony was delighted to hear Peter's invitation.
He was already preparing to pack his bags and take Chili pepper with him to Afghanistan to join Ethan.
Unexpectedly, things took a dramatic turn for the better.
Not only would he no longer have to leave Alika, but he would even have the opportunity to leverage Peter's connections to transform himself directly from a businessman and hero into a high-ranking official in the country's government.
"I'm absolutely thrilled!"
"But before that, shouldn't you clean up this mess first?"
Tony pointed to the devastated Brooklyn, then glanced at George subtly, the implication couldn't be clearer.
With Tony's sharp mind, he quickly realized the vast potential for maneuver involved.
"Of course," Peter replied with a knowing look.
This was part of Peter's plan—he intended to attribute some of the credit for restoring Brooklyn to George.
This is an incredibly valuable political asset that could help George easily gain a foothold in New York politics.
He then turned to Gwen and Felicia and said:
"You guys go back and rest first. While you're at it, take Alexei with you and call Uncle George over."
Gwen actually had a lot to say to Peter, but now was clearly not the time to talk, so she decisively chose to obey.
Before long, George came over with a puzzled look on his face.
Peter leaned close to his father-in-law's ear and whispered a few words to him.
Upon hearing this, George's face immediately lit up with surprise.
He's such a good son-in-law!
As he thought this to himself, he hurriedly dispatched his men.
Shortly after, a police officer arrived with a middle-aged man sporting a brush-shaped haircut.
The middle-aged man with the brush head was none other than J. Jonah Jameson, the owner of the Daily Bugle.
JJJ is a die-hard fan of the Arbitrator, so as soon as he met Peter, he praised him highly, believing that Peter had successfully averted a disaster, and suggested that Peter take off his mask and reveal his identity.
He will definitely do his best to make Peter a new generation of superhero whose fame surpasses Iron Man and Captain America.
"Let's talk about revealing my identity later, Mr. Jameson. I called you here today because I hope you can help me record some footage."
"I just had a chat with Sheriff George after I dealt with the monster that was threatening the city's safety."
"At Sheriff George's repeated pleas, I made a difficult decision—I will step in to repair the entire Brooklyn!"
hiss~
Upon hearing this, JJJ gasped, looking at Peter with a mixture of shock and worry in her eyes.
He knew that Peter had the ability to restore buildings, and it was because of Peter's feat of restoring the entire school after the battle that he concluded that the Arbiter was a good person.
But... using superpowers to restore the entire Brooklyn is just insane.
"Mr. Arbitrator, are you sure you really want to do this?"
"Won't this have a serious impact on your health? You know, this city still needs your protection."
Faced with JJJ's concern, Peter deliberately spoke in a relaxed tone:
"Don't worry, you won't die. At most, you'll just need to rest in bed for ten days to two weeks."
"I've already made arrangements with Ghost Spider, Nightingale, and Iron Man. They'll take care of New York's daily security while I'm away."
Peter spoke casually, but his words brought tears to JJJ's eyes.
They were willing to sacrifice themselves to help thousands of citizens escape the killing line. What a great spirit of sacrifice!
Thinking of this, JJJ immediately spoke, her voice choked with emotion:
"Mr. Adjudicator, rest assured, I guarantee I will report your decision truthfully. You and Sheriff George deserve the respect and love of the citizens of Brooklyn!"
Not only was JJJ deeply moved, but Captain America, standing to the side, also displayed an incredibly complex expression—Brooklyn is actually his hometown!
……
As the live broadcast truck drove into the scene, JJJ explained the whole story to the viewers in front of their televisions, and then Peter began his performance.
He reached out and pressed his hand onto the ravaged streets of Brooklyn.
As the horse talisman began to exert its power, pure white light swept out like a tide, instantly enveloping the surrounding land.
Under the utterly shocked gazes of everyone present, the collapsed buildings, the shattered streets, the damaged vehicles... everything was rapidly being restored at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The reinforced concrete reformed, glass shards flew back into the window frame, and the twisted car was restored to its original shape...
Outside the police cordon, countless Brooklyn citizens, who had just recovered from the effects of Conqueror's Haki, were still weeping and lamenting why they had to suddenly suffer such an undeserved disaster.
It's important to understand that in Alirika, there are no People's Liberation Army soldiers rushing to the scene for disaster relief, no concept of mutual assistance in times of trouble, and no government safety net to provide free post-disaster reconstruction for the victims.
Here, there is only the saying, "When one place is in trouble, everyone praises it!"
Faced with such natural and man-made disasters, the likely fate of these ordinary people whose homes have been destroyed is—
The insurance company refused to pay, he lost his job, and because he had no place to live, he was unable to find a new job. Then, he was overwhelmed by countless debts, ended up on the streets, and completely fell into the brink of ruin, with no hope of recovery.
Just as they realized this and were falling into despair, Peter appeared!
He began using his abilities to restore Brooklyn and rebuild their damaged homes.
It's like they're being pulled back from hell to earth one by one!
At that moment, in the hearts of these people, Peter's silhouette was no different from that of God!
An elderly nun, witnessing her church, where she had lived for decades, restored to its original state in the blink of an eye, was so moved that she knelt down and prayed, shouting out in excitement:
"Praise be to God! Praise be to the Judge!"
This shout instantly jolted the stunned disaster victims awake. In an instant, countless people began to kneel and shout in perfect unison, following the old nun:
"Praise be to God! Praise be to the Judge!"
The sheer scale of the event even caught the attention of Black Lu Dan and Rose, who were initially just observing.
The two, who were secretly plotting their comeback and revenge, heard the unified slogans chanted in the distance.
Looking at Peter, who, after repairing one area, "stood still for a few breaths, then took heavy steps and resolutely walked towards the next area," I felt a chill run down my spine.
After tonight... who will dare to scheme against this kid in Brooklyn!
Forget about scheming, just saying a bad word about this kid would probably get you hacked to pieces by angry, concerned citizens.
The moment they realized this, the two of them involuntarily shivered, and felt an endless despair in their hearts.
The fact that the opponent possesses devastating power is troublesome enough.
Now you're telling me that he's also equipped this with a super brain that can easily manipulate people's hearts!
We still run a market here!
