“Hey Tony, it’s not that we’re abandoning you, it’s just that you’ve never wanted to fit in with us since the first meeting.” Logan said, puffing on a cigar and with one arm around Phoenix’s shoulder, sitting comfortably on the sofa.

"Okay, let's not discuss this anymore." Adam waved his hand, not wanting the group to continue the topic. After all, Tony was his younger brother, and only he could bully him; no one else could.

"Speaking of this superhero tier system, what are your thoughts?" Spider-Man, who had just arrived, suddenly pulled out a notebook and asked.

"Uh, what are you doing?" Adam was puzzled by Spider-Man's actions, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "You're not trying to interview me, are you?"

"Of course it is! You don't know how much money you can make just by finding out news about these things these days," Spider-Man said matter-of-factly.

“What do you need so much money for, kid?” Logan asked.

“I have a girlfriend!” Spider-Man said casually.

"Okay, I understand." Logan shrugged, stopped teasing him, and looked at Adam. Actually, he also wanted to hear Adam's opinion on the matter of the hero classification.

"It's very simple. We'll categorize everyone based on their individual abilities and combat prowess, then give them a communicator. Athena will then be responsible for contacting these heroes and assigning the appropriate level of hero based on the severity of the situation." Adam finished speaking, then glanced at Spider-Man and said, "For example, if you happen to be on a date with your girlfriend and something minor like catching a thief comes up, you won't have to take action yourself. Athena will arrange for the nearest hero of the appropriate level to handle it. After all, catching a thief doesn't require Spider-Man's direct involvement."

“But that’s just a piece of cake for me. The sooner we catch the thief, the sooner the victim will be at ease.” Spider-Man frowned and said, “If we have to let others do even the simplest things, how can we be called heroes?”

"I'm not telling you not to get involved, I'm just using it as an analogy," Adam continued. "Because of us superheroes constantly getting involved in trivial matters, some parasites have emerged in the New York Police Department, just loafing around doing nothing. I think things like catching thieves and helping people find their missing pets should be left to the police or fire department in the future."

“I agree with that, but wouldn’t giving a certain amount of compensation every month go against the original intention of becoming a superhero?” Captain America said in a deep voice, “After all, most people become superheroes because they happen to have that ability and hope to help others.”

"I know what you mean, Captain, but have you ever considered that not everyone comes from a good family? Some superheroes are even born into poor families. Although they may continue to do good deeds at first because of their good family education and their own moral values, if one day their family has an accident and they need money, then these people may go astray." Hawkeye said to Captain America, "I have just encountered such a thing and witnessed a good person turn into a ruthless villain."

“I think the only problem now is the protection of those superhero identities,” Christine said, sitting to the side. “After all, most superheroes have one or more mortal enemies for various reasons. If their identities are discovered, it will be a fatal blow to them, because their families, loved ones and relatives will be in danger.”

Adam nodded after hearing this and said, "That's right. Not all superheroes have a formidable force or outstanding strength. So whether our work can proceed depends on whether those superheroes are willing to trust us."

“Perhaps we can set an example, I mean, I’ll participate in the rating.” Quicksilver said with a smile, “It seems like a lot of fun. And I trust you guys!”

"Hey Adam, how much salary can I get in a month if I participate in the tiered system?" Spider-Man chuckled and asked.

"Let me think, we could watch a few movies and have a few French meals," Adam said with a smile.

“Okay, then add me to the list.” Spider-Man chuckled and said.

“Count me in too. S.H.I.E.L.D. is being shut down by various countries now, and I don’t think I have anywhere to go,” Hawkeye said, raising his hand.

“Since it’s something you planned, I’ll definitely participate. But I have to ask, does participating in Ashma mean I have to listen to you guys?” Tony asked.

"The Association is just an organization that assists Class-A heroes. Apart from providing you with mission information and location details, no one will give you any orders. Of course, if something happens that is complicated, you will carry out the mission in a team. The team will be your respective Class-A hero team. The Association will not interfere."

Adam explained that the Human Management Association is essentially a task system within the organization. It observes events, classifies emergencies, and then assigns heroes of the appropriate level to handle them. There are also corresponding rewards at the end of the month. Of course, Adam is also thinking about whether to create a citizen rating system or something similar, since some heroes get so carried away in battle that they don't care about the loss of citizens' property.

"That seems like a good idea. In that case, I won't have much to do under normal circumstances." Dr. Bruce Banner sipped a cup of tea. Well, he didn't like or could drink alcohol. Although he could control the Hulk now, who knew what a person might do when drunk.

“Doctor can continue his research, but Tony isn’t saying the venue is suitable for you.” Adam chuckled and said, “Actually, this association doesn’t really manage the people here, but rather those super heroes who are still hiding among ordinary people. Although some of them are not as strong as us, the trouble they cause will still drag us down with them.”

"Another goal is to improve the lives of mutants. If we cultivate most of the mutants willing to help humanity into superheroes, people's perceptions of mutants will change." Logan, representing Professor X at today's meeting, had spoken with the professor beforehand, so he interjected, "If we all unite, we won't have to fear any alien invasions anymore."

Chapter 311 The Black Spider-Man

Six months have passed since the Battle of New York, and it's no longer news. In those six months, all the buildings destroyed by aliens and superheroes have been rebuilt. The benefits of rapid technological advancement are undeniable.

Oh, right, there's also S.H.I.E.L.D., which was established by the United States during World War II and gradually developed into an international armed organization recognized by dozens of countries around the world. It has become a thing of the past and history. It has been abolished by the armies of various countries and has become a completely nationalized organization. The only thing that remains is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, but it has become an academy jointly participated in by all countries to train their respective outstanding personnel.

Almost all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s top brass, except for Maria Hill, Nick Fury, and a few others, have been arrested. In particular, those council members who planned a nuclear strike on New York City were publicly interrogated and convicted of treason and a series of other crimes, regardless of their reasons. What awaits them is an endless prison sentence—well, no, not endless, but three hundred years. If these people can evolve into mutants or gain some kind of ability while in prison, perhaps they can regain their freedom after three hundred years.

As for Maria Hill, she is no longer the commander of S.H.I.E.L.D., but the warden of the human prison. Well, it can be said that apart from no longer being a member of S.H.I.E.L.D., her position has not changed at all. It has to be said that having a powerful backer is good. Of course, there is another premise: you yourself must be innocent.

As for Nick Fury, he was no longer the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and was hired by the US government to become the captain and advisor of the US's own special forces. The other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were all seriously investigated by various governments, and then each government absorbed these S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents still have a great reputation internationally. If it weren't for this time when someone caught them red-handed, and the fact that the S.H.I.E.L.D. senators had bad ideas, it might not have been so easy for them to overthrow S.H.I.E.L.D.

Since these good things are no longer anything new, what is the mainstream now?

That's right, it's the Earth Energy Human Management Association founded by that person, also known as Ashma by the media. In the past six months, Ashma has gained support from almost every country in the world, and the number of energy humans who have registered with Ashma has also increased significantly. Now, in New York City alone, there are more than a thousand B-level energy humans and more than a dozen A-level energy humans. Not to mention the lower levels.

This is just one city, New York. After six months of development, there are a total of three million registered Ashma members across all countries that support Ashma. In other words, regardless of the level of ability, the number of registered level heroes worldwide is already over three million, and this number may continue to grow over time.

Most of these people are relatively low-level heroes. Athena screened them based on their individual information and recommended most of them to the local police. As a result, most police stations now have a department specifically for humans, and its members are all members of Ashma.

Of course, some countries are still not entirely at ease with Ashma. After all, Ashma now has three million members, and they are all human. If these people were to rebel, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, in the Ashma branches of various countries, there are inspectors sent by those countries who are responsible for rating Ashma members. The rating results are related to the treatment of those members.

It can be said that after half a year of development, Ashma, with the support of governments around the world, has gradually gotten on the right track. It is believed that as long as no major accidents occur, the world will be protected and changed by these people in the future.

-----------------

"Ha, the newspaper really puts it right." Tony tossed the newspaper onto the table and said, "Aren't they afraid that one day you'll suddenly have a brain fart and decide to conquer the world or something?"

“So they sent in inspectors, and some countries hold weekly meetings for political training.” Adam shrugged and said, “Besides, I don’t have much charisma to get so many people to rebel with me.”

“Most importantly, your goal has never been the whole planet. Isn’t that right?” Tony glanced at his brother and said, “It feels like everything you’re doing right now is like a father who knows he’s going to die and is leaving a will for his children.”

Adam was taken aback and asked, "So obvious?"

"That's right, it's practically written all over your head!" Tony said, somewhat annoyed. "I have no idea what you're thinking. Are you really going to leave Earth?"

"I have no choice but to leave. You must understand that although I am indeed of some help to Earth's development now, I think I might become an obstacle to Earth's development in the near future. I don't want to become that kind of existence, so I'm leaving Earth before that day comes. That's my choice." Adam paused after speaking, then smiled and said, "But that's all in the future. Don't worry, I won't leave without saying goodbye."

“Who would worry about that?” Tony said, somewhat exasperated. “Just go, go, so you don’t bother me.”

Just then, Athena suddenly appeared in Tony Stark's office and said, "Master, something has happened!"

"Hmm, what's wrong? What happened that made you come directly to me?" Adam asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Yeah, now that guy’s a top figure in the association, has something big happened again?” Tony said, not forgetting to tease his brother.

"Master, look at this!"

Athena pulled up a video showing a Spider-Man in a black suit wandering around the city. Although this Spider-Man was helping others, he was very rude and didn't care about the safety of the people he was saving. Well, how should I put it, when he saved a child from being hit by a car, he kicked the child away, trapped him in mid-air with his web, and left with arrogant laughter.

"This guy is really awful," Tony muttered. "Is this Spider-Man?"

“According to the information, it seems to really be Spider-Man.” Athena finished speaking and asked, “How should we handle this?”

"Athena, scan Spider-Man's suit and see if there are any biological signatures," Adam commanded, his brow furrowing slightly as if he had remembered something.

"Brother, do you already know what happened?" Tony asked.

"It's somewhat similar to something I've encountered before, but we don't quite need confirmation yet. Let's wait for Athena to analyze it before making any decisions." Adam finished speaking, then rested his chin on his hand and said, "Also, let's contact Spider-Man and see if we can get in touch with him."

“I’ve tried to contact Spider-Man, but I can’t get through. I’ve also asked his girlfriend, and they met this morning. Spider-Man doesn’t seem to be acting strangely.” Athena immediately said, “I just can’t get in touch with Spider-Man, and I can’t locate him using the Spider-Suit, so I’m reporting this to you, Master.”

"I understand. Have the analysis results come out yet?" Adam asked.

"Yes, they've just come out. Master, you're right. The suit that Spider-Man was wearing seems to be made of some kind of strange creature; it does indeed have biological reactions," Athena replied immediately.

"Looks like I thought so too." Adam nodded slightly and asked, "Where is that Spider-Man now?"

"Wandering aimlessly along Third Street in Queens," Athena said, pulling up the video feed. "Should I call in a super-hero?"

"In Queens, there seems to be someone who can just counter its abilities." Adam nodded slightly and said, "Go and inform the Enchantress to use noise. That should separate the parasite from the host body. But don't forget to remind her that parasites are very difficult to eliminate, so don't let the parasite escape."

“Yes, Master, I will inform the Enchanting Maiden to capture the Black Spider-Man.” Athena finished speaking and then exclaimed in surprise, “Huh? What? A Red Spider-Man? Master, another Spider-Man has appeared? But his physical characteristics seem a bit different from the previous Spider-Men.”

Chapter 312 Spider Girl

"Different physical characteristics? What do you mean?"

Adam asked with some confusion, since Athena hadn't continued transmitting images, so he didn't know what had happened.

"The Spider-Man who appeared this time is a woman!" Athena said with some surprise.

Athena then transmitted a video showing a black Spider-Man and a red Spider-Girl fighting in mid-air. However, judging from the video, Adam and Tony knew that the Spider-Girl seemed to be no match for the black Spider-Man and was being suppressed by him.

“Never mind that for now, continue sending out the Enchanting Maidens.” Adam pondered for a moment and said, “As for this Spider Girl, we can try contacting her. But the primary task is to eliminate the parasites; this race is extremely dangerous and must be wiped out completely!”

“Parasites, hmm, I seem to have heard of that somewhere before?” Tony asked, stroking his chin.

“Of course I’ve heard enough. There was a meteorite about to collide with Earth, you haven’t forgotten, have you? It was the very day you won your award,” Adam reminded him.

“Oh, I remember now. It seems that when you rescued me from the Ten Rings, you talked about being infected with parasites, which delayed you.” Tony nodded in realization and said, “Looks like there were some who escaped back then.”

“Yes, I thought we had completely wiped out these guys back then. You probably don’t know how terrifying these parasites are. Once they infest a person, they can copy all of that person’s abilities and memories. A terrifying race.” Adam seemed to recall what had happened back then and said in a deep voice, “I hope there is only one parasite on Earth, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.”

"Are you getting ready to go to the scene?" Tony asked, puzzled, as Adam stood up, seemingly preparing to leave.

“Well, I’m a little worried about not going. Although that enchanting woman can indeed control this parasite, she doesn’t know how dangerous it is.” Adam finished speaking and looked at Tony, saying, “I’ll go first, you don’t need to. We can talk later.”

"Um, I just wanted to borrow the Tesseract from you today for some research. I remember when Thor and the Cthulhu left, you didn't seem to hand over the magic circle and the Tesseract to them," Tony asked quickly.

He invited his older brother over today to borrow the Cosmic Cube for some research, but being a proud kid, he didn't ask directly. He didn't expect this unexpected event to occur just as he was about to change the topic to the Cosmic Cube. If he didn't speak up, who knows when he would see Adam again.

"The Tesseract is in the showroom in the Watchtower. Go get it yourself." Adam walked out of the office to the open tarmac outside, activated his nanosuit, put it on, and then soared into the sky, leaving Stark Tower.

Tony watched his brother's departing figure, chuckled softly, and said, "Do all powerful creatures have the habit of collecting treasures, like dragons, and my brother and the like?"

“I heard you, and I will tell my master the truth,” Athena suddenly said.

"Oh, you're still here?" Tony was slightly taken aback, then said, "It's good that you're here, Athena. Can I pass by? You heard what my brother said, right?"

"Your skill at changing the subject is really terrible." Athena smiled slightly and said, "Alright, pay attention, the teleportation will take place in about ten seconds!"

Upon hearing this, Tony said, "Jarvis, tell Pepper for me."

"Okay, sir, have a pleasant journey." As soon as Jarvis landed, Tony turned into a beam of light and disappeared.

-----------------

A fierce battle is taking place in the sky above a street in Queens. Two figures, one in black and one in red, are clashing violently in mid-air. They are dressed the same but in different colors. They are the black Spider-Man and the red Spider-Girl that Athena just mentioned.

The black Spider-Man seemed to be trying to escape, but was constantly harassed by Spider-Girl. As soon as he took off, he was entangled in Spider-Girl's webs and dragged against the wall. With a loud bang, the black Spider-Man was embedded in the wall.

The black Spider-Man shook his head, looked at the Spider-Girl rushing towards him, snorted, and said, "Ah, you really pissed me off. Honestly, everyone's so annoying!"

After saying that, Black Spider-Man exerted a little force on the wall with both hands, instantly launching himself directly into Spider-Girl in mid-air. Spider-Girl saw him extend his right hand and shoot out a spider web, forcefully changing his direction. Then, she kicked Black Spider-Man away.

Then, without giving Black Spider-Man any time to react, Spider-Girl descended from the sky, straddling him and delivering a powerful punch to his face. But Black Spider-Man wasn't one to be trifled with; he crossed his arms and blocked Spider-Girl's attack.

"Ah, what a proactive girl! But judging from your figure, you seem to be underage, little sister?"

The Spider Girl was furious upon hearing this and shouted, "You filthy bastard!"

However, that was exactly what the Black Spider-Man's goal was: to distract Spider-Girl with anger. Sure enough, seeing that she had fallen for his trick, he twisted and thrust his hips, using a very lewd method to send Spider-Girl flying.

"Haha, little sister, you're still a few years too young. Come find me when you're an adult."

After finishing his sentence, the black Spider-Man swayed his body up and down in a lewd gesture, then shot out webs from his hands to trap the Spider-Girl. Finally, he didn't forget to reach out and pinch the Spider-Girl's cheek, whistling as he prepared to leave.

Spider-Girl, enraged by the lewd and obscene treatment from the Black Spider-Man, let out a soft shout and burst through all the webs on her body. Seeing the Black Spider-Man about to leave, she delivered a thunderous blow to him with a swift movement of her foot.

With a loud bang, the black Spider-Man was completely caught off guard by Spider-Girl's attack. It seemed that he did not have the ability of spider-sense. He was sent flying into the air and crashed into a car on the road by the girl's thunderous attack.
