Between the skyscrapers of New York, a tall silver-grey figure was rapidly swinging while holding a petite figure.
In the howling cold wind, Gwen leaned against Ryan's chest, her face flushing: "Taking me away so blatantly like this, it'll be easy for people to guess your real identity..."
Ryan had taken her away right in front of everyone, and many people at New York University knew her boyfriend was Ryan Parker, the owner of Parker Industries.
Combined with that similar physique, Gwen estimated that after today, most people at New York University would be able to guess Spider Monarch's identity.
Ryan looked down and grinned at Gwen in his arms: "It doesn't matter anymore. I've already given them a warning. I believe anyone with even a bit of intelligence, even if they guess my identity, won't jump out and talk nonsense."
"Besides, I want everyone to know that you are mine, and no one can touch you!"
Hearing the undisguised possessiveness in Ryan's words, Gwen couldn't suppress the smile at the corner of her mouth. She couldn't help but hug Ryan's waist tightly, burying her face in his chest and saying muffledly:
"Don't leave me next time, okay?"
Hearing Gwen's sudden sentimental words, Ryan was stunned for a moment. He switched to automatic travel mode, with Riot extending tentacles from his back to continue swinging between the buildings.
As for Ryan himself, he held Gwen with one hand and used the other to lift her small face that was pressed against his chest, teasing:
"But if I hadn't stopped the Frost Giants outside of Earth, the whole of New York and Chief Stacy, who was fighting on the front lines, would have been in trouble~"
Hearing this, Gwen fell silent.
On one side was the person she loved, and on the other was all of New York and her father. How should she choose?
Gwen's expression darkened, and she murmured: "If only... I could become Spider-Man too..."
"Hmm? What did you say?" Ryan couldn't help but be startled.
Gwen actually wanted to become Spider-Man voluntarily, rather than becoming one by accident?
Why did he have a faint feeling that something was very wrong?
But he couldn't quite put his finger on what was off.
Speaking of which, did the Gwen of that Universe want to become Spider-Man voluntarily?
However, Gwen's expression became serious: "It's always been you and Dad protecting me, but I want to protect you guys too. I don't want to be a burden to you, let alone a drag!"
"I want to become a knight who can protect you too!"
Looking at Gwen's stubborn little face, Ryan seemed to see the confident and determined Gwen from their first date, holding his hand at Automobile City and saying she would defeat the Demon King and charge in front of him.
After looking into her eyes for a moment, Ryan suddenly smiled: "Later, we'll draw some blood and leave a sample. I'll fulfill your 'knight' wish."
"Huh? You mean..." Now it was Gwen's turn to be startled, her beautiful big eyes widening as she looked at Ryan.
Ryan smiled without saying a word, but Gwen already had the answer.
He was going to personally crack the Super Spider!
Before, he had given the task of cracking the Super Spider's gene lock to Peter and Dr. Connors, but it wasn't because he didn't have the ability to crack it.
In fact, Ryan's talent in scientific research was even stronger than Dr. Connors' or even Peter's!
The reason he rarely got involved personally was for only one reason: laziness.
Except for combat, which he was interested in, Ryan always solved everything else with money or favors. He was too lazy to do it himself because, to him, it was too boring.
But this time, Ryan had only been away from Earth for two months and almost lost Gwen, which caused a slight change in his mindset.
This time it was Gwen, but what if next time it was Ben and May who encountered danger while he was away?
So, rather than arranging various security measures around them, it was better to directly make them stronger themselves!
No matter how thorough external protection was, there would always be loopholes.
Only being strong oneself is true strength!
He wanted the Parker Family to all become Spider-Men!
Ben, May, including his women—he wanted them all!
It was fine in the early stages of the Marvel Universe, but now that it was approaching the middle period, supernatural dangers would become more and more frequent over time. As ordinary people, even with the protection he arranged, they were no longer safe!
And the only way to make them completely safe was for them to also become part of the supernatural!
Having made up his mind, Ryan quickly returned home with Gwen.
At this moment, Ben and May were already waiting at home. They had obviously seen the news or received calls from Peter and Harry, knowing he was back.
Seeing Ryan return, the old couple quickly walked forward to meet him.
May hugged him with red eyes. Although Ben didn't look as emotional as May, his slightly trembling hands betrayed his excited mood at this moment.
After all, Ryan was their only biological son. Disappearing for two months, it was definitely a lie to say they weren't worried.
The old couple didn't blame Ryan for his adventurous behavior of going to another Planet alone two months ago. Instead, they were concerned about whether he had eaten well, dressed warmly, or been bullied in a foreign land.
Ryan thought for a moment and said that he indeed hadn't eaten very well, eating cold food every day, and hadn't dressed warmly, as it was icy and snowy every day. As for being bullied... uh, better not mention it!
This made Ben, May, and Gwen feel even more distressed for him.
They didn't dare to imagine how Ryan, in an unfamiliar place, had stayed on an alien Planet full of hostility toward Earth for two months all by himself and then escaped back.
The Frost Giant race and the Sakaar locals: Have a conscience, have a conscience!!!
It wasn't that Ryan was deliberately not telling them the truth, but his experience was simply a bit too ridiculous.
Should he tell them that in these two months, he had actually ruled a race, half a Planet, slaughtered a god, and an entire cosmic arena?
That Ben and May were now the Grand Sovereigns of the Frost Giants, and Gwen was already the Queen?
How could anyone accept that?
Especially for the older generation like Ben and May, Ryan estimated that their brains would crash after hearing it!
And speaking of the God of War Ares he slaughtered, would it cause retaliation from Zeus of the Olympian Gods?
Ryan actually wasn't worried about this.
Don't look at how Thor, Loki, the Bifrost Bridge, and such could descend upon Earth at will and then cause destruction.
But in reality, Earth isn't a place anyone can just enter.
Especially supernatural existences of Zeus's level; they simply cannot descend upon Earth at will.
Although Ryan hadn't personally seen her yet, he knew that a big boss still existed on Earth.
Furthermore, there was a magic array outside Earth specifically designed to block supernatural invaders.
That was the Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One of Kamar-Taj and the Earth Isolation Array formed by the Three Sanctums.
With this array in place, with that old coward Zeus's strength, it's impossible to enter Earth.
After all, even Dormammu cannot forcibly enter Earth without destroying the Sanctums and can only entice followers to destroy them first.
This is also why, in Valkyrie's memory, there were no spatial wormholes near Earth.
