Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings.

"A superhero registration bill?"

The president frowned.

"What do you mean?"

"To put it simply," the Attorney General said ominously, pushing up his glasses.

"We urge all superheroes to register with their real names! From now on, they can no longer be masked heroes; the public must know their real identities and names, and they have the right to know where they are when a crisis occurs!"

Everyone who attended this meeting was a shrewd individual; they quickly grasped the insidious nature of the plan.

First, the superheroes' identities are being forcibly exposed, which will inevitably affect their lives.

Secondly, what will the criminals who have been targeted and retaliated against by the superheroes do after they learn their true identities?

If I can't deal with you, can't I at least take revenge on your families?

Finally, and most ruthlessly, is the forced disclosure of location information!

When a crisis occurs, the public can know the whereabouts of the superheroes immediately.

If there are still casualties in this situation, then it's naturally because the superheroes failed in their duties.

In the future, no one will complain about the government anymore; instead, they will shift the blame onto the superheroes for their incompetence.

This is tantamount to forcibly splitting the superheroes and civilians who were originally on the same side, fighting against the government together.

Let them fight like dogs, while these high-ranking government officials can remain completely out of the loop.

Not only will they no longer have to be criticized, but they can even engage in balancing acts. By balancing public opinion or conflict on both sides, they can control both forces!

After figuring out these key points, the military leaders and politicians present all wore smiles that were a mixture of excitement and cruelty.

Wonderful!

This plan is a triple win!

They can use public opinion to destroy the reputation of the arbitrators, take the opportunity to promote their long-awaited superhero registration bill, and even... use this as an excuse to ruthlessly plunder the people's wealth!

"That's settled!" General Mike slammed his hand on the table, his eyes gleaming with greed. "Mr. President, contact that brat immediately, and tell him the story we agreed on!"

"Well... okay."

The president hesitated for a moment, but under the oppressive gazes of everyone, he finally picked up the special phone on the table with trembling hands.

……

"Peter, it's me. We take your warning in Times Square today very seriously! Could you tell us in detail what kind of crisis you're referring to?"

"certainly."

Peter cleared his throat and recited his prepared speech to the president on the other end of the phone.

In his description, the Heirs family became a group of madmen who enjoyed slaughtering superheroes and would destroy the universe at any time.

At the same time, he solemnly advised the president that he must spare no expense to build new, large-scale protective and refuge facilities.

After Peter finished speaking, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

A moment later, the president's "troubled" voice rang out again:

"Peter, on behalf of the entire nation, I extend my highest respect for your heroic sacrifice! You are a true hero!"

"But... as you know, building an energy protection system that can cover the entire city of New York, and even the whole of the United States, is just... far too expensive. With our current financial situation... we simply don't have the resources."

Peter had expected this answer.

He sneered, but his mouth said anxiously:

"Mr. President, this isn't about money! This is a crisis concerning the survival of all humanity! If they descend, the entire planet will be devastated!"

"I understand, of course I understand!" The president sounded like he was about to cry.

"But the problem is we really can't come up with that money! More importantly, taxpayers won't understand!"

If they knew we were spending money to build those vague and impractical security facilities, they would just think we were throwing their money away!

"So what should we do?"

Peter displayed an anxiety befitting his age.

"Those monsters could come at any moment. If we delay any longer, it will be too late, and many people will die! I'm not exaggerating!"

"I know, Peter, I understand how you feel!"

The president offered Peter a word of comfort, then exchanged a glance with the surrounding high-ranking officials who were suppressing their laughter before speaking:

"Let me think... I've got it! Perhaps we can leverage your reputation and the power of the media."

"I will immediately contact the TV station to broadcast an emergency news segment, and have you, as the arbiter, explain everything to the public! Let them understand how serious the crisis we are facing is, how about that?"

This may be the only way... Only in this way can we convince Congress and the public to approve this emergency funding!

Listening to the president's "sincere" performance on the other end of the phone, Peter almost burst out laughing.

These politicians really want to ruin their own reputations!

However, this is exactly the effect he wanted!

Therefore, Peter, also suppressing a laugh, spoke in a solemn tone with an air of righteous indignation:

"I understand. For New York, for our home, I'm willing to stand up and take on all of this!"

"Excellent! Mr. Arbitrator, rest assured, we will fully cooperate with you!"

After hanging up the phone, the "weakness" and "gratitude" on Peter's face vanished instantly, replaced by a playful smile.

Beside him, Tony and Captain America were completely dumbfounded.

Tony stared at Peter in disbelief, as if he were looking at an alien.

"Peter, are you crazy? You're putting yourself on the hot seat!"

Even Tony, who is known for his outrageous behavior in the public eye, felt that Peter was courting death.

Even Steve, who always unconditionally trusted Peter, couldn't help but frown at this moment.

"Peter, this is too risky. The people's trust is hard-won, and once lost, it's very difficult to regain."

However, Peter simply smiled dismissively at their concerns.

He turned around, looking at the two core members of the Avengers before him, his eyes gleaming with wisdom.

"Don't worry, it's all part of my plan."

"Besides... for this show to be at its most powerful, I can't do it all by myself."

Peter's gaze swept over Tony and Steve's faces, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.

"The rest of the script will require your two passionate performances."

"Us? A performance?"

Tony and Steve exchanged a glance, both seeing deep confusion in each other's eyes.

What are we performing?

Faced with their questioning gazes, Peter smiled and uttered a word that made Tony and Captain America gasp in shock:

"civil war!"
