American comics: Starting with gaining Spider-Man's abilities

Chapter 147 The System of the Non-Riddler

In the boundless starry sky, Li Buying slowly opened her eyes.

Feeling a bit dazed, he looked around and was surprised to find himself in the transit station. Why was he here? Shouldn't he be asleep?

Li Buying looked around and for some reason a bright spot of light caught his attention. Without hesitation, he walked straight over to it.

As he got closer to the light, the light became more and more obscuring of the starry sky. As he stepped into it completely, a feeling of solid ground appeared in his legs.

Opening her eyes, which had been blinded by the light, Li Buying looked around. The interior of the light spot was a vast expanse of white, but there were two chairs facing each other, and a person was sitting in the chair with his back to her.

The system's creator?

Li Buying already had a premonition and wasn't too afraid. After all, she had once been just an ordinary person, and most of her achievements were due to the system's help.

If it were truly for some shady purpose, the system wouldn't have chosen someone who was once an ordinary person.

However, he originally thought that he would have to be invincible throughout the entire universe to figure out the origin of the system, but it turns out that he can do it now?

He walked past the chair and turned around. A white-haired European old man who looked a lot like Gandalf was sitting in the chair opposite him, wearing a robe and watching him with a smile. Li Buying sat in another chair, looking a little reserved.

"So you are...?"

"Relax, child, you can think of this as a recording, or a phantom."

The kind and gentle old man pressed his hand down in the air, and a table appeared beneath his hand, supporting it. On the table were two glasses of orange juice.

To Li Buying's surprise, the old man in front of her had somehow transformed into the appearance of an ancient Chinese emperor dressed in black, becoming much more dignified.

"You can call me God, OAA, GOD, or any other creator god's name. As for my appearance, use whatever you can accept about me. If you wish, I can also present myself as a bunch of tentacles to you."

"So you're saying you're the only creator god? Then what about my world and the Marvel universe...?"

"I am not the only creator. You know the stacking box theory, right? My world is also a box, and your world is also a box. The level you are on is the same as the various worlds you have experienced."

The reason you know so much seemingly plausible information is simply due to the flow of information throughout the universe.

The kind and gentle old man turned over a box on his right, which roughly occupied the entire table. Inside were several boxes of varying sizes, separated from each other, and each box had a label on it.

Your universe, the Marvel Universe, the DC Universe, the Terminator Universe...

They are in a parallel relationship, but their threads intersect with each other.

The old man closed the box and transformed back into a sphere shimmering with dazzling light. He extended energy tentacles that pointed upwards, and Li Buying followed the tentacles to see Gandalf's face reappear before her.

The next second, he was sucked out of the box by a strong wind. As he was being sucked out, he gradually grew larger, and when he finally landed opposite the Creator, he had returned to his original size.

The old man smiled and said, "That's about it."

"So the reason you chose me and did this is..." Li Buying listened attentively. Although she was grateful for his kindness in allowing her to travel to various worlds like this, she still wanted to know why he did it.

"I didn't just choose you, there were other people too, but the boxes that contain your boxes... the big boxes of boxes are too big for you, so you're unlikely to run into them."

On the table, from the box representing the universe he created, one box after another representing microcosms appeared, so numerous that it was impossible to count how many there were.

"Now that your strength has basically reached the required level, the built-in phantom in the system you mentioned has also been activated. As for why different people are chosen to travel to different worlds..."

The kind old man raised his finger and opened a small box. Inside, a tiny person, about the size of an ant, appeared. He began to crawl out of the small box and into another box, repeating this process over and over again.

Surprisingly, he kept growing bigger in the process, just like... Li Buying getting stronger as he traveled between different universes.

When it grew to about the size of the box, the little man jumped out of the box. He somehow managed to pull out some pieces of paper the same size as himself and then painstakingly folded them.

Soon another small box appeared, and the little man crawled into the box he had made, shrinking back to the size of an ant and happily swimming around inside, occasionally visiting the other box.

Li Buying suddenly realized: "You want us to become stronger so we can continue to create new worlds, but what if we fill the box completely?"

The old man smiled. The large box on the table contained more and more small boxes, while the large box kept getting bigger, as if there was no end in sight.

"Look, like this, as the number of small boxes increases, the large box also keeps getting bigger. Don't worry about the law of conservation of mass; that's the rule for your box."

"I understand, after all, the Marvel Cinematic Universe doesn't adhere to the conservation of mass."

Learning so quickly from the phantom about the final task assigned to her by the system, Li Buying has more or less found a real goal: to become stronger and then create a world.

Thinking about it this way, [Gravity Mastery] can indeed be used to create the shape of the world, after all, it belongs to the fundamental rules at the bottom of the world.

"Since you already understand, I won't say any more. In short, keep up the good work. There's one more piece of news."

The old man transformed back into Gandalf, stood up, and patted Li Buying on the shoulder: "Actually, one person from the small box has already broken free from the large box I created. You can do it too, keep it up."

……

Inside the secluded cave, Li Buying awoke from the darkness. He stretched and yawned, the sound of which was quickly noticed by Ai Yi, who was guarding outside.

The door of the alloy box opened, and Li Buying stepped out and asked the mechanical girl, "Aiyi, what's the situation outside now?"

"Everything is normal. The United States is cleaning up its domestic spies. S.H.I.E.L.D. has been destroyed and dismantled. Meanwhile, the mutants have safely arrived on the island. At least for now, various countries are still in a wait-and-see state."

"That's good."

Li Buying didn't seem to be in a hurry; she raised her hand, clenched her fist, and felt the fullness in her body.

The weakness buff was completely removed, and his stamina seemed inexhaustible. He could feel his blood surging through his body, and at the same time, his own structure changed, as if energy was stored within his cells.

He seems to be moving closer to higher beings like Loki, Thor, Gabriel, and Ganatana.

This is what is called the enhancement of the essence of life. The energy stored in the body causes changes in the body's cells, and at the same time, the structure begins to be optimized, making the whole body more perfect.

But more importantly, the heavyweight news he received after the evolution—the ultimate goal of creating a universe, the extra DLC about breaking free from the larger universe, and so on—still left him somewhat bewildered.

However, at least she now knew the system's true origins, which relieved Li Buying of any further worry about it.

Oh, although he wasn't worried, after all, he was still too weak compared to a system that could travel through worlds. It was a bit too early for him to think about the true nature of a system that could travel through the multiverse before he had even reached the Star-level.

The result is that it has now revealed itself, and we can only hope that there won't be any conspiracies or tricks in the future.

Having enhanced her physical body, Li Buying took out the Gravity Orb. Instead of leaving immediately, she wanted to try absorbing the Gravity Orb to further enhance her power, and now was the best time to do so.

He killed quite a few people when dealing with Hydra members, and the system notifications popped up about ten times. He used all the rewards from completing the mission on Gravity Mastery, and now he should have enough to absorb Gravitonium.

The black metal sphere spun continuously in front of him, perfectly round and flawless. Li Buying placed his hand directly on the gravity sphere and eliminated the force field separating the two.

As the palm came into contact with the gravity onion, it quickly climbed up the arm, much like how venom and nanotech armor cover the entire body.

The difference was that it slowly seeped into Li Buying's body, penetrating through his skin pores. He felt that his body not only did not become heavy, but was much lighter.

Unconsciously, he floated up from the ground and hovered in mid-air. He stretched out his other arm to touch the gravity bellows. Li Buying had a premonition that he would be able to complete the fusion with the gravity bellows this time.

The metal covered him, and after about an hour, the gravity shield was completely integrated into his body. Li Buying did not appear to have changed at all, but his temperament became more composed.

Gravitonium is currently flowing in his bloodstream, and there is also some in his muscles, but it has not affected any physiological condition or caused any rejection reaction.

Li Buying seemed a little unaccustomed to falling from the air. He lightly swung his arms and jumped slightly. The next second, he crashed directly into the top of the cave above him, but even if he crashed, he was not seriously injured.

Having absorbed the gravity-enhancing substance, he now felt incredibly light, almost unaffected by gravity if he wasn't paying attention. Li Buying adjusted himself slightly and landed back on the ground, then asked Ai Yi:

"Aiyi, how much do I weigh right now?"

"If you were to stand on the scale, you'd probably look like a wad of cotton. Also, your body is currently generating energy on its own, so it's best to shut it off."

The mechanical girl made her judgment and showed the energy detector to Li Buying. He clenched his arm to release the force field, completely adjusting himself to a normal state, and only walked out of the cave after everything was ready.

The body controlled by Ai Yi put the processor she had taken out back into the alloy box and buried it, and the mechanical body fell into hibernation again.

……

Looking up at the dazzling sun, Li Buying, who had emerged from the cave, took flight. Her body was then enveloped by a protective force field, leaving a sonic boom cloud behind as she hurtled off into the distance at supersonic speed.

Following Ai Yi's directions, Li Buying flew through the city to the mutant island. It took her about two hours to fly directly into the Pacific Ocean and find the island. She was greatly surprised when she saw the progress on the island.

What Li Buying saw at this moment was not a temporary temporary house set up after the event, but a series of proper brick and concrete houses. Although they looked somewhat simple on the outside, they had indeed been built.

It's only been ten days, what kind of cutting-edge technology is this?

On the streets, strong mutants are carrying heavy objects, while mutants with telekinetic abilities are doing manual labor under the guidance of others skilled in various devices. Those who can release large amounts of energy are helping to recharge energy storage devices...

In short, it was a thriving scene, with everyone willing to contribute, even those whose abilities were not very useful, such as Little Rascal who was carrying some small boxes and doing what he could.

Ah, I guess that's how it always is at the beginning of construction.

Floating in the air, Li Buying sighed and noticed her younger sister adjusting the steel bars. She then silently flew to her side. Before she could speak, Lorna seemed to sense something.

Turning around, the girl saw Li Buying smiling and hugged her tightly: "You're finally back! I was so worried!"

"It's only been ten days, Lorna, you have to trust me a little."

Li Buying reached out and put his arm around Lorna's slender waist. After a brief moment of whispering sweet nothings, Li Buying quickly released Lorna due to the surprised looks around them and asked her for information about the whereabouts of Professor X and Magneto.

As he walked along the newly developed streets, he quickly garnered looks of surprise, wariness, and admiration. Li Buying nodded repeatedly to the other mutants, but his expression remained one of unapproachability.

Upon reaching the center of this small street, a house that appeared more luxurious than the surrounding buildings came into view, and two X-Men were walking towards them.

"Hello, Mr. Magi North."

The visitors were Cyclops and Phoenix. Li Buying shook hands with them and, when he grasped Jean Grey's hand, sensed the flow of Tiger Power. He immediately stopped it from flowing into Phoenix's body.

It seems to really work.

Li Buying felt even more confident in subduing the rampaging Phoenix. After letting go, she asked Professor X and Magneto what they were currently doing.

When he asked about it, Cyclops told Li Buying that someone had already contacted them, hoping to form an alliance with the mutant nation that was being established.

"Who's so bold as to place a bet right now?"

Li Buying was quite surprised. After learning the answer from Cyclops, he suddenly realized, "It's Doctor Doom."

Victor von Doom, the main antagonist of the Fantastic Four, is a supervillain who is proficient in both magic and technology and combines the two. He is also the mastermind behind the small Eastern European country of Latveria.

In this universe, according to the information Ai collected, he is not very powerful. His country, Latveria, is actually one of his sources of confidence, and he also hopes that his country can reach the level of a great power.

Anyway, due to his own reasons, Latvinia's relationship with the United States is not very good, so it is only natural for him to seek an alliance with mutants.

"Then I..."

"Both the professor and Magneto want you to come."

Having received permission to enter, Li Buying pushed open the door and entered. The three people inside looked over at the same time.
