Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings.

Half price!

Peter was overjoyed to have caught the key words.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately cried out in his heart:

"Purchase one of three random charms!"

Purchase successful!

[Talisman extraction in progress...]

The moment the system notification sound ended, the system panel in front of Peter changed.

Three ancient, octagonal stone phantoms slowly emerged.

They floated silently in mid-air, like three Stonehenge gates leading to the unknown.

Peter felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his heart, each beat heavy as a drum.

He manipulated his mind, trembling as he "lifted" the phantom of the first talisman.

On the front of the talisman, a verdant serpent totem glows faintly.

[Snake Talisman: The holder can make themselves, along with surrounding people and objects, invisible.]

Tsk~

Peter's eye twitched violently.

A classic case of a disastrous start.

Stealth.

In the Marvel universe, where powerful figures abound, this ability is practically a toy among toys. Supervillains like Chameleon and Mysterio easily possess this superior ability to become invisible.

Among the twelve talismans, this thing is practically an NPC.

After taking a deep breath, Peter suppressed his frustration and continued to manipulate his mind to unlock the second talisman.

This time... the front of the talisman features two symmetrical, opposite white tiger patterns.

[Tiger Talisman: The balanced magic of the tiger can harmonize all the power within the user, but when the talisman splits, it can also cause the user to be divided into two sides, good and evil.]

Damn! (A type of plant)

Peter's vision went black, and he really wanted to find a rope and cosplay as a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll that brings sunshine to the earth).

This thing is absolutely amazing in the late game, but in the early game... it's really useless!

The Tiger Talisman's function is to balance forces; without other talismans and power systems, a single Tiger Talisman can be said to have no positive value...

While the Tiger Talisman can help him balance conflicting forces, it cannot allow him to quickly acquire other powers.

With his current weak body, it would be too difficult to obtain the power needed to balance the Tiger Talisman.

Damn it, are all my 5,000 points and first-order discount going to go down the drain?

That kind of thing...no way!

Peter paused his action of uncovering the third talisman, his gaze wandering uncontrollably through the swaying carriage, trying to find something to calm his tense emotions.

After looking around, his gaze finally settled on Gwen beside him.

Gwen was leaning quietly against his shoulder, her delicate eyebrows, which had been furrowed in pain, relaxed slightly.

It seemed that as long as she stayed by his side, the girl could draw a sense of peace from him.

Seeing Gwen's pale face covered in cold sweat, Peter's agitated mood miraculously calmed down a little.

He thought of Gwen's fate in his past life; the girl in front of him was not happy after gaining Spider-Man's powers.

Having lost his beloved, lost his father, and burdened by the heavy shackles of "with great power comes great responsibility," he can only lick his wounds alone in the darkness...

Her future life will be filled with pain and sacrifice.

Peter, being a time traveler, didn't want the girl beside him to repeat that thorny path of destiny.

I may not be the happiest Spider-Man myself, but I'll at least make Gwen the happiest Spider-Man!

Come on! I refuse to believe that one person can have one bad luck after another!

Join the EU and escape the ranks of the rest of Europe today!

After taking a deep breath, Peter "lifted" the phantom of the third talisman without any hesitation.

This time, he did not close his eyes.

Instead, he stared intently at that void until a faint purple light burst forth from it.

In the light, a magnificent horse head totem slowly emerged!

[Horse Amulet: The noble horse dispels all external forces from the body! Possessing a horse amulet can remove all abnormal influences caused by external forces from the holder's body, and can even repair any damaged items!]

It's a horse talisman!

Peter stared at the horse charm in front of him, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him.

A mixture of elation and regret left him with a bewildered expression.

The good news is that the healing power of the Horse Talisman is definitely among the top tier!

Even if you don't get to be among the most popular, you'll still be someone superior to others!

Heal all, expel all diseases, and restore everything!

In the perilous Marvel world, having the Horse Charm is like having a resurrection armor with unlimited lifespan!

As long as he has a breath left, the horse talisman can pull him back from the brink of death!

Unfortunately, this ability cannot immediately enhance his combat power.

Compared to the Dragon Talisman's energy, the Rabbit Talisman's speed, and the Ox Talisman's power, the Horse Talisman is more like a top-tier support talisman.

For Peter, who is currently desperately seeking power and trying to escape the "sacrifice scenario," this is somewhat counterproductive...

"Never mind, even a support god is still a god, isn't he..."

"To draw one of the top abilities among the twelve talismans with only 5,000 points is already incredibly lucky!"

Although he found it somewhat ridiculous, Peter made a decision in an instant.

The snake charm has too low an upper limit; the tiger charm is even lower.

The Horse Talisman is the best solution right now!

and……

Peter's gaze unconsciously fell to the side beside him.

As the genetic recombination progressed, Gwen's cheeks became abnormally flushed, her breathing became rapid and hot, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

She is enduring immense pain!

Moreover, this process is fraught with uncertainty.

In the animated Spider-Man, Peter Parker once appeared in a form where he transformed into a spider monster due to genetic mutation.

Now, no one can guarantee that Gwen will get through this dangerous period unscathed.

But now, with the Horse Talisman, this worry can be easily resolved.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the 'Horse Talisman'!]

The moment the system notification sounded, Peter could clearly feel the close connection between himself and the horse charm.

This connection is even closer than that of the Holy Lord!

Peter now has absolute control over the Horse Charm.

The power of the horse talisman flowed directly into his body, without even needing to exist in the form of a stone.

After getting a general feel for the power of the Horse Charm, Peter looked down at Gwen beside him, who was trembling with pain, and without hesitation reached out and pressed his hand on Gwen's forehead.

"Don't be afraid, Gwen."

Peter leaned close to Gwen's ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"I'll take care of everything."

The next second, a gentle, hazy white magical power emerged from Peter's palm and slowly flowed into Gwen's body.

As the horse charm took effect, the pained expression on Gwen's face slowly faded, and she leaned on Peter's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.

……

The bus slowly pulled up in front of Peter's house.

Peter hesitated for a moment, then decided to take Gwen home to rest first.

He had intended to give himself a romantic princess carry, but he underestimated how thin his body was.

Even though Gwen's weight wasn't even over 100 pounds, he was already panting heavily after carrying her for less than ten meters...

Left with no other choice, he had to carry Gwen on his back.

The girl's soft body pressed against his back, but Peter felt no romantic feelings whatsoever, only an increasingly intense sense of frustration and resentment.

Damn it, I can't stand this weak constitution for even a second longer!
