Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings

"...I've never been happier in my entire life than I am today!"

After saying that, he turned around, no longer staring at that ugly face, and walked towards the few newly planted saplings on the other side of the square.

He reached out and gently stroked the saplings, murmuring softly:

"Laila, Banban, Yaya... Look, this place will become much better in the future. Of course, this is not the end. I will take you to see more beautiful scenery in the future."

A gust of wind swept across the square, rustling the leaves of the saplings, like some kind of silent response...

……

After the unveiling ceremony of the statue, Peter did not leave immediately.

He, Gwen, and Strange all agreed to use their power to help these experimental subjects.

They would listen to each test subject's needs and help them remove those "parts they wanted to discard, parts they considered shameful."

Through their tireless efforts, one life after another has regained peace of mind and body.

Not far from Peter and the others, Ayesha, along with the sorcerer Adam and the rest of the Sovereigns, watched this scene with somewhat complicated expressions.

Ayesha's meticulously sculpted face still maintained its usual dignity, but the long-held disdain for "inferior life" in her eyes had largely dissipated.

Even powerful figures like Peter were willing to maintain respect for these lives, which prompted deep reflection within their entire tribe.

In addition, in the past few days she has witnessed firsthand the resilience and vitality of these races that she once looked down upon after their release, and their diligence and unity in rebuilding their homes from the ruins.

All of this made them realize how naive their previous ideas had been.

Beside Ayesha, the sorcerer Adam asked with a mixture of anticipation and uncertainty:

"Mom, why don't we stay here too?"

Ayesha remained silent for a long time, then nodded slightly:

"...Let's stay here for now, until we find a more suitable planet to rebuild the new Sovereign."

After the last experimental subject of Anti-Earth had his mechanical components removed, Peter and the others officially bid farewell to Anti-Earth and set off back to Earth aboard Ishtar.

"Although this trip was tiring, it was still quite worthwhile."

On the spaceship, Gwen leaned against Peter, her voice unusually languid.

Felicia sat not far away, her cat tail idly stroking Peter's thigh.

"Yeah, and now this guy has gained a ship girl too. Seriously, are we going to have to call her the Ishtar sisters from now on?"

Upon hearing this, Ishtar looked over with her cool gaze, as if trying to figure out what she meant.

Peter, somewhat unconsciously, touched his nose:

"That...person cannot, or at least should not..."

"At least you still have some conscience." Felicia's red lips curved slightly into a smile.

It's alright. Although there's still an extra person in the family, at least I don't have to worry about sharing my man with the ship girls in the future!

After two days of flight, Ishtar finally brought Peter and the others back to the Milky Way.

Peter and his companions temporarily switched to another spaceship to return to Earth.

Ishtar's original body remained on the moon. Hmm... I wonder what kind of interesting expressions those astronomers will have when they observe the giant mecha girl on the moon.

When they set foot on Earth, everyone unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally home. These past few days, I've been dealing with animal heads every day. I'm almost losing the ability to tell what a normal human looks like."

As they were talking, Gwen, Peter, and Felicia's phones rang at the same time.

They took out their phones and saw that it was a message informing them to prepare their graduation theses.

The three who received the message exchanged a glance, a smile flashing in their eyes.

After spending so much time in space, I've almost forgotten I'm still a college student...

Chapter 495 Hill and the Mutants

That night, Parker Manor was incredibly lively.

The scene was just like Miyamoto Musashi's famous quote:

Those who want the challenge, line up and come one by one!

However, most superheroes are concerned about their image, so this matter ultimately needs to be considered carefully.

Back on Earth, after a few days of living like ordinary people, Peter, Gwen, and Felicia easily finished their graduation theses.

They also attended their graduation ceremony one day at the end of June.

The Imperial University's graduation ceremony was a grand affair.

Well, after all, not every university can award a bachelor's degree to a superhero who is also the world's richest man.

To celebrate Peter and his two companions' graduation, the entire Avengers team was present, and even President Alicia was alerted.

Well... although Gwen has already revealed her identity as the Ghost Spider and the Sorcerer Supreme, few people know that President George is the Ghost Spider's father.

Incidentally, during George's tenure, Parker Technology single-handedly spearheaded a new technological revolution.

The existence of the Avengers significantly reduced the crime rate across the United States, and George was naturally re-elected as president with an overwhelming majority.

Peter even estimated that if George wanted to emulate the tax lord of his past life and declare that America would be renamed the Greg Empire, there might not be many people in the United States who would oppose him...

Getting back to the main point, after the graduation ceremony, there was naturally party time.

This time, the party wasn't held at Parker Manor, but at Avengers Tower.

As everyone was enjoying themselves, a beautiful woman with short, neat hair and delicate features stood outside the banquet hall, clearly hesitant about whether to come in.

This person was naturally Peter's personal secretary, Hill.

Just as she hesitated, a voice came from behind her:

Why don't you just go in?

Hill was taken aback, but quickly relaxed:

"Director, congratulations on your graduation. I won't go in; I still have some official business to attend to at S.H.I.E.L.D."

Upon hearing this, Peter looked at Hill's dark circles under his eyes and his slightly pale lips, and felt a pang of guilt.

It seems I've been excessively irresponsible in being a bureau chief who shirks his duties.

He then grabbed Hill's hand and, without saying a word, flew directly to the top of Avengers Tower.

Hill was startled by the sudden movement and hurriedly grabbed Peter's waist.

When Hill came to her senses, Peter had already led her into a guest room.

"Don't move." Peter stopped Hill from getting up and leaving, and at the same time, the soft white light of the horse charm shone on his hand again.

Under the influence of the horse talisman, various occupational diseases caused by years of overtime work were instantly cured.

The sudden sense of relief made Hill let out a satisfied sigh.

The sound was exceptionally clear in the quiet guest room.

The capable female secretary's face flushed red instantly.

She hurriedly straightened her collar and sprang to her feet to reach for the doorknob.

But before her hand could touch the doorknob, Peter gently grabbed her hand. He didn't say anything, but his deep eyes seemed to convey a certain signal silently.

Hill's lips pressed into a thin line, and her voice trembled slightly:

"Chief, Gwen and the others could..."

Peter silenced her with force.

Hill's eyelashes trembled violently a few times, then she slowly closed her eyes, and her hand, which was about to push Peter away, slowly loosened.

When Hill was able to speak again, her cheeks were flushed.

As Peter's secretary, she was arguably the closest person to Peter, aside from Gwen and others.

It would be impossible for Hill not to be tempted after observing the world's strongest man up close every day.

However, due to her status and age, she had always restrained this impulse.

They were afraid that if they were just being presumptuous, they might lose even their superior-subordinate relationship.

Tonight, Peter's actions have undoubtedly broken through the final barrier.

Thinking of this, Hill unconsciously placed his hand on his chest, as if he were having some kind of internal struggle.

After a moment, she finally lowered her hand from her chest, then gritted her teeth and took the initiative to move towards Peter A.

No one disturbed them that night.

The following morning, as Hill recalled what had happened the night before, this career woman, who usually only talked about work, couldn't help but blush.

At the same time, a bittersweet feeling welled up inside me.

She looked at Peter, who was still fast asleep beside her, and after a moment, she quietly lifted the blanket, picked up the clothes on the floor, and was about to leave.

As soon as he tried to stand up, he felt his legs go weak and he couldn't take a single step.

The pressure that even superheroes like Gwen find difficult to bear would naturally crush an ordinary agent like Hill in no time.

"No need to rush to work, I've already assigned your tasks for today to Agent Phil." A slightly teasing voice came from behind.

Hill looked embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Peter, but Peter pulled her into his arms with complete ease. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he leaned close to her ear and asked:

"By the way, what time did you come to see me last night?"

This question didn't annoy Hill; instead, it gave her a strange sense of relief.

This at least proves that their relationship will not be strained by last night's experience; on the contrary, it will only become closer.

Thinking of this, Hill's tense body relaxed, and he reported softly:

"Recently, people around the world have reported sightings of strangely shaped monsters, but when police officers arrive at the scene, these people say they don't remember reporting it or seeing any monsters."

Furthermore, neither the police nor S.H.I.E.L.D.'s surveillance systems captured any valid footage.

If it were just one or two incidents, we might suspect it could be a prank, but so far this month, there have been no fewer than ten similar incidents around the world.
