Athena shrugged and said, "You'll get used to it. I've been listening to it for months, and I'm used to it. Are you confident?"

“Judging from that subtle movement just now, Adam still has a slight reaction to me. I will do my best to restore him,” Christine said, looking at Adam with a firm gaze.

"Do you need any help?" Athena asked.

“I need a bed. I need to enter his mind and find Adam,” Christine said. “Tie him to the bed now, and I’ll go home and get something.”

Tony asked, "Tell me the location, and I'll go get it for you."

Christine shook her head and said, "I have to go there myself. You all wait for me here." With that, she disappeared using teleportation magic.

Tony stroked his beard and said, "It seems there's some secret we don't know about."

“It’s simple. You can’t put all your eggs in one basket. The locals know that,” Athena explained. “Don’t get the wrong idea. Maybe you can’t open where Christine keeps her things. After all, she’s a magician.”

“I know everyone has some privacy,” Adam shrugged. “Now we’ll tie this to the bed; it seems we’ll need the help of your robot army.”

Athena did not answer, but ordered her robot army to tie the constantly resisting Adam to the bed and turn the simulated sunlight to the maximum, so that Adam lay on the bed powerless and did not move anymore.

"His weakness is sunlight?" Tony asked, somewhat puzzled. "That can't be right, can it?"

"No, sunlight is not Master's weakness, but his greatest strength. Master can absorb the sun's energy to strengthen himself. However, Master's ability has its limits. Excessive exposure to sunlight will cause him to fall into weakness and slumber, but it will not harm him. If an outsider tries to use this method to deal with Master, he will suffer a great loss, because he is providing Master with energy!"

As they were talking, Christine returned to the spot, carrying a metal box, and said to Athena, "Our safety will depend on you in a moment, Athena."

"Don't worry, it's very safe here. Even with an attack like the one this morning, our reserve energy can hold out for a week," Athena said confidently.

Christine nodded, came to Adam's side, her eyes filled with love, and said softly, "Wait a moment, darling, I'll be right there for you." Ignoring the insults, she took a glowing cube from the metal box and placed it on Adam's chest. Adam, who had just been cursing, instantly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Christine looked at the sleeping Adam, gently kissed the corner of his mouth, turned around and lay down next to Adam. Golden light continuously emanated from her body, eventually enveloping Adam and Christine completely, so that no one outside could see what was happening inside.

Outside, Tony looked at the cube and asked, "That should be an energy source, right?"

Athena nodded and said, "Judging from the situation, that should be the case. Let's go, we'll wait for them outside. I hope Christine succeeds!"

"Yeah, I hope you can appear safely in front of me, brother. I have so much to say to you," Tony thought to himself, looking at the golden light inside.

P.S.: Originally, Adam was supposed to wake up in this chapter, but I wrote so much before he even had a chance to wake up. So, I'll let the protagonist wake up tomorrow, appearing as Superman! Is this a preview for the next chapter? Thanks for your support! Please give me your votes; if you don't have monthly tickets, recommendation votes are fine too!

Chapter 252 Superman Returns

A small mountain town in the Middle East

Superheroes and super soldiers from various countries have gathered here because the Ten Rings have recently gone too far, interfering in the internal affairs of several Middle Eastern countries and even secretly controlling one. This is unacceptable to the major powers, since most of the world's energy is concentrated in the Middle East. If these thugs of the Ten Rings were to control the entire Middle East, the consequences would be unimaginable. Moreover, these major powers may allow many small countries to exist in the Middle East, but they will not allow a single country to unify the entire Middle East.

Because some of the Ten Rings' plots have not yet been fully exposed, these countries cannot openly send troops. Moreover, most members of the Ten Rings possess superhuman abilities. Therefore, two days ago, they summoned super soldiers and superheroes from various countries to come to this remote town to stop the Ten Rings' plot.

In the past two days, they have engaged in no fewer than dozens of small-scale skirmishes with the Ten Rings in the mountains. The battles have been extremely fierce, with both sides suffering varying degrees of losses. The Allied Forces have lost no fewer than a dozen super warriors and several well-known superheroes, while the Allied Forces have eliminated most of the Ten Rings' slaves and a dozen mid-level leaders.

Today, they are taking a break in this small town, where leaders of super teams from various countries have gathered to discuss their next move.

"No, we can't use fighter jets! There are still villagers in the mountains who were captured by the Ten Rings. They are innocent. If we use fighter jets to bomb the mountains, it will cause the deaths of innocent people!" Spider-Man immediately jumped out to object when he heard that these people were going to use fighter jets.

"Then what do you suggest we do? And Spider-Man, I've been putting up with you for a long time. If you hadn't been so hesitant to kill us and hadn't been rescuing people on the battlefield against orders, we might have already completed our mission," a middle-aged man in British military uniform said coldly.

“I’ve only saved ordinary people; they weren’t involved in any terrorist activities. What you’re doing here is completely different from what you said at the beginning!” Spider-Man snorted.

"What did you say? You need to know this is a battlefield, not your playground in New York!" The British soldier slammed his fist on the table. He shouted, "I told you long ago these unidentified guys shouldn't be involved! Ugh, complete disregard for military law! If you were one of my soldiers, I'd shoot you dead!"

"What did you say!" Spider-Man was, after all, a young man with a fiery temper. This wasn't something that becoming a superhero could change, so he couldn't hold back when he heard what the other person said.

"Enough! Stop arguing!" Captain America stopped the argument from continuing, and Vanguard also stopped Spider-Man.

Both sides snorted coldly, and the argument temporarily stopped.

The Russian official said, "Alright, stop arguing. We shouldn't be fighting amongst ourselves now. Although we come from different countries, we share the same goal: to stop the Ten Rings terrorist organization's plot to rule the entire Middle East."

"Sigh, let's not talk about that. We also don't really agree with using fighter jets; it's not inhumane," said the military representative from China.

"This can't be done, that can't be done, humph, if we were to keep arguing like this, the Ten Rings would have already unified the Middle East." The Frenchman also spoke up, but he seemed to agree with the British decision.

“Using war machines would create a bad situation and turn the people of the entire Middle East against us,” Vanguard said calmly. “Moreover, I’ve observed our operations over the past two days. There are problems with our operational plans.”

"Hmph, do you think there's a problem with our coordinated actions?" The British side seemed to have a lot of opinions about these masked superheroes, and Vanguard retorted as soon as he spoke.

“That’s right, there is a problem with this arrangement. Most of the people here are not soldiers, and our advantage is that everyone possesses various superpowers or technological abilities. Therefore, we should learn from the fighting methods of the Chinese army back then, divide into several groups to raid the enemy’s strongholds in the mountains and defeat them one by one, instead of gathering together like we are now, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage.” Vanguard said calmly.

"Hmph, from what you're saying, we professional soldiers are inferior to you freaks who wear hooded bodies and tight-fitting suits?"

“Enough, Captain Alexander. I think the Vanguard makes a good point.” The Chinese side stopped the British side from talking, saying, “We have been making a habitual mistake all along. I think we can give it a try. Besides, you have all seen what has happened these past few days. Although we are officially acting together, we are fighting separately on the battlefield. Some soldiers from other countries have even disobeyed orders. I think it would be better to act separately.”

After some discussion and arguments, everyone finally reached an agreement to divide into several teams based on their nationalities and launch a surprise attack on the Ten Rings Gang's base at 3 a.m. tonight.

Inside a hotel, Pioneer and Spider-Man were sitting. Peter Parker had taken off his mask, his face full of anger and a hint of grievance.

"I told you we shouldn't have come here. Humph, what we're doing now is completely different from what they said before."

Vanguard frowned and said, "Peter, put on your mask. This isn't our own base, and you should be more mature by now. This operation is to combat terrorists, not the kind of chivalrous acts we do in New York City. It's something far more dangerous."

"You mean I shouldn't have saved him?" Peter Parker looked at Vanguard in surprise.

“No, I’m not telling you not to save people, but we have to consider the situation,” Vanguard continued. “The others are fighting desperately there, and you’re saving their enemies? That’s easy to offend people, and those guys aren’t worth saving at all!”

"How could you say such a thing!" Peter Parker stared in shock at Vanguard, his longtime partner and friend, and said, "You haven't forgotten our Justice League's oath, have you?"

“‘Don’t kill people. Even if they are enemies, you must save them first when they are in danger.’ I haven’t forgotten that, but don’t you think that’s unrealistic?” Vanguard said calmly.

"This is our bottom line, and the only thing that distinguishes us from other superheroes! Don't you remember that? Don't you remember what Adam told us?" Peter Parker said quickly, somewhat agitated. "Harry. We are not warriors, nor police officers, nor judges; we are just ordinary people who want to help more people after gaining our abilities. Just because others see us as superheroes doesn't mean we can decide everything."

“No, I don’t think I’m superior. I just think that we should be ruthless when dealing with enemies. Besides, Adam himself has seriously injured several people.”

"But he didn't kill any humans! That's his bottom line. Some villains are infuriating, and you might even want to kill them, but we can't take that step. Once we do, there's no going back."

"Forget it, I don't want to discuss this with you. Let's finish this mission first and then talk about other things." Vanguard frowned, stood up, walked to the door, paused, and said without turning his head, "Sometimes I envy you for being able to maintain your old personality."

"Harry~~~"

Peter Parker watched Harry leave with a complicated expression. He knew Harry was changing, from simply wanting to be a superhero to his current state. He knew Harry had become like this because of the Green Goblin Squad that had appeared a few months ago, but there was nothing he could do to help. It was all up to Harry himself.

At 22 p.m. sharp, Harry entered Peter Parker's room again and told him the area the American Beast Team was responsible for and the breakthrough time, saying that they should meet outside in half an hour, and then turned to leave.

“Harry!” Peter Parker called out.

"What is it?" Harry Osborne frowned.

"Didn't you tell Athena about the Green Goblin Squad?" Peter asked.

"That's my private matter, none of your business," Harry said without turning his head. He continued, "And don't do anything foolish tonight. If you don't want to kill anyone, fine, but don't interfere with others. Yes, we're not warriors, but they are! If you intervene, they'll think you're stealing credit!" With that, he left.

Half an hour later, the group set off from the town, each using their abilities to move quickly. Spider-Man and his team ran swiftly for over ten minutes from the east, reaching the mountains, only to be met with a sudden attack.

Boom! ...

After several explosions, a dozen men dressed in black robes appeared on a small hilltop, led by a man in a black leather jacket. They looked at the people trapped under the rocks and sneered.

"Looks like the intelligence was right, they really did come from this side." The man in the leather jacket said coldly, "Let's go. I didn't expect these people to be so easily defeated."

Just then, the figures on the ground, laden with rocks, suddenly disappeared. The man in the jacket was shocked and about to say something when Spider-Man used his powers to shut him up, interrupting the possible transformation.

"Kill them all!" The captain of the American super team gave the order to his men, who were killed on the spot without exception!

Spider-Man was about to say something when Vanguard stopped him, saying, "Don't forget what I said. If you want to save people, go inside and rescue those hostages first."

In such a short time, the members of the American super team had wiped out the Ring slaves. After all, without their masters' command, these Ring slaves were no match for anyone. Seeing this, Spider-Man sighed, sent a web, and headed to the Ten Rings' secret base in the mountains.

It's fair to say that Spider-Man was extremely disappointed with this mission and deeply regretted giving up the opportunity to spend time with his family and girlfriend to come to the battlefield. Of course, he also witnessed the cruelty and danger of the battlefield.

As Spider-Man sped through the mountains, he encountered several ambushes, which he evaded using his spider-sense. He even managed to tie up the terrorists with his webs. But then a strange feeling suddenly welled up inside him, compelling him to quickly approach the Ten Rings' base.

After a frantic run, Spider-Man arrived outside the Ten Rings' base in the mountains. Unfortunately, the area was now engulfed in flames, with explosions and bullets emanating from within the base, along with screams of agony.

He stood on a high point, looking down at the scene inside. The base was littered with corpses and craters. Through his spider-sense, he knew there were no hostages left. They had all been killed by the Ten Rings or the allied forces, perhaps accidentally, he wondered, but it no longer mattered. Since no hostages were alive, as long as the allied forces won this battle, these terrorists would pay the price for everything that had happened.

Just then, Spider-Man, disheartened by the special forces, suddenly noticed a boy of about ten years old standing in the middle of the battlefield. In front of him was a woman, covered in blood, already a corpse. He stared blankly at the woman, seemingly her mother.

The explosions grew more intense, and Spider-Man sensed the boy was in danger. He jumped into the battlefield and quickly reached the boy to save him. Just as Spider-Man arrived, he heard a somewhat broken English voice.

"I heard you're a superhero? Called Spider-Man?"

"Hey!? Boy. It's dangerous here, I'll take you out."

“They all called us terrorists, and we were killed before we even had a chance to speak. Since you are a hero, why didn’t you stop them?”

"I??????"

"Yes, you are America's superhero, so you are only responsible for America's security."

"I'm sorry, child, I couldn't stop all of this. Come with me now. I'll take you out of here; it's far too dangerous."

His spider-sense kept warning him of danger, but he failed to detect any crisis. Now it seemed the entire base was about to fall under the control of the international coalition. The resistance inside appeared to be weakening, but Spider-Man chose to trust his spider-sense, for countless experiences had proven its accuracy.

"Heh, leave? Where else can I go if I leave here? Do you think I won't encounter any danger if I leave?" The little boy surprisingly uttered some rather philosophical words. He suddenly raised his head, his eyes now completely black. His voice changed from a child's voice to a double tone as he said to Spider-Man, "You're a good person, and you haven't killed anyone during this time. In that case, leave first, get away from this place you don't like!"

"What?" Spider-Man was startled by the boy's eyes at first, and then he was confused by what the boy said. Just as he was about to say something, everything went black. When he came to his senses, he was already in the busiest street in New York.

"What the hell... what happened?" Spider-Man looked around blankly, ignoring the pointing and whispering around him, and stood there dumbfounded in the middle of the road.

"Hey, Little Spider, you're back? Is everything over over there? I haven't been able to get in touch with you guys. If I hadn't known you had a large group and were relatively safe, I would have sent someone to look for you already. Oh, and I have some good news for you!"

Athena's sudden words in Spider-Man's ear snapped him back to reality. He immediately said, "Athena, investigate the situation in the Vierimas Mountains right now!"

Athena seemed taken aback and asked, "What happened? I can't find anything about that place you mentioned right now, but it seems the energy there is a bit unusual!"

"What? You can't find it? How is that possible? Can you contact Professor X, the mutant?"

"What happened that made you so panicked?" A voice that Spider-Man recognized very well appeared in Spider-Man's ear.

"Superman?!?" Spider-Man exclaimed in surprise, "You've recovered? Oh, if you have, please, you absolutely must go over there! There are so many people who need help. There's no time to explain, please go now, I'll go back and tell Athena!"

"Understood, you come back first, Christine and I will go over there!" After saying that, the contact was cut off, and then Spider-Man saw the familiar red and blue figure and a golden figure appear in the sky above New York, disappearing instantly amidst the cheers of all the citizens.

P.S.: Superman is finally back! Although this chapter only shows his back and voice. Thanks for your support! Of course, recommendation votes would be even better, but I'm not counting on monthly votes. By the way, I watched a really good anime today, I think it was something like this, it was hilarious, just a bit short, but still pretty good. I recommend it. Also, tonight is episode 21 of The Flash! I've been waiting a week! I heard tonight's episode is very tear-jerking.

Chapter 253 Monster

It was still that mountainous area, but the difference was that the previous Ten Commandments Gang base had been razed to the ground. A figure about three meters tall stood in the middle. Upon closer inspection, the figure actually had three heads: two beast heads and one human head. His entire body was covered with scales like fish scales, and a long bone whip extended from his back. His hands occasionally fired beams of light.

The super warriors from various countries have suffered heavy losses. The team, which originally numbered over a hundred, is now reduced to less than a dozen, who are still putting up a fight.

"Damn it, what's going on? Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet!" The British captain may not have died because of his strength, but his condition was not much better. His right hand was severed at the shoulder, and half of his face was a bloody mess. He was just barely holding on and hadn't fallen down.

"Mr. Alexander, stop making noise! ​​That monster's noise is already enough to keep us going!"

Alex, a member of the American superhero team, dodged a beam of light with a cold expression and turned to Alexander, saying that he was in a very bad mood because his captain and vice-captain had been killed in front of him.

"Luckily, Vanguard and Dragon are here, otherwise we would have been wiped out long ago. What on earth is this thing that can absorb our abilities?" Another soldier said, throwing down his weapon, which was now out of bullets, somewhat frustrated.
