I, the Bully Spider-Man, will destroy Marvel!

Chapter 169 Toby's Evil Plan, Hydra Comes Knocking!

He stepped forward, stood beside Pietro, slightly raised his hands, and pointed to the two Wandas respectively, saying calmly:

"Alright, there's no need to argue about this. The answer is, they are both Wanda Maximov..."

"She's just that she's Wanda from our universe, while she's Wanda from another parallel universe."

Upon hearing this, Pietro and Wanda, now ordinary people, naturally looked on in disbelief.

Especially since these words came from a stranger, they were even less likely to believe such an outrageous thing.

Therefore, the two siblings looked at Toby in unison and questioned him:

Why should we believe you?

Faced with their questions, Toby didn't waste any words explaining. Instead, he had a thought, and his body was covered in silver-gray liquid, which quickly transformed into a symbiotic battle suit.

Toby, now transformed into a 'poisonous spider,' looked at the stunned siblings and said calmly, 'Do you believe me now?'

Wanda and Pietro nodded blankly upon hearing this, "We believe...we believe you..."

As the most famous and hailed as the most powerful superhero on Earth, they have no choice but to believe what Spider says!

After all, would a big shot like Poison Spider need to lie to two nobodys?

"Just believe them. Continue to explain your situation to them."

Seeing that the two siblings believed him, Toby casually found a chair and sat down, leaving the explanation to the witch herself.

The witch nodded, and the group sat down at the only table in the cramped dwelling and began their storytelling session.

Toby, who was already intimately familiar with the witch storyline, naturally didn't listen attentively. Instead, he lowered his head to think about and organize his next actions.

Now that we've practically won over Wanda and Pietro, it's time to consider recruiting the next person: Strange.

He had initially planned to have Kingpin send someone to do it, but now he thought that most of Kingpin's men were just ordinary gang members who didn't know their own strength and might accidentally kill someone.

Moreover, even if Strange's hands were crippled, given his wealth, he could certainly afford his company's regeneration serum.

He healed both hands with a single injection of regeneration potion; there was absolutely no need for him to abandon his existing knowledge and learn magic...

He had actually overlooked this point before...

This regeneration potion truly is both their strength and their downfall...

So what is the way to get the stubborn Strange to abandon his existing materialistic views and start learning magic?

Toby's brilliant mind flashed through all his memories of Strange like a slideshow, trying to find his 'weak point'...

Suddenly, Toby's eyes lit up...

Ah, I've got it, Christine...

"Stephen, what have you done...?"

In a universe that had been ruined and collapsed, Christine, lying in the arms of the corrupted Doctor Strange, said these words.

If there was anything more important to Strange than his scalpel hands, important enough for him to abandon his stubborn materialism and learn about a completely new magical world, it would be his girlfriend, Dr. Christine Palmer.

If Christine were to 'accidentally' fall into a spatial rift, and scientific methods were completely ineffective in saving her, with only spatial magic capable of bringing her back, what would Strange choose to do...?

Toby's lowered face revealed a wicked smile.

While Toby pondered his wicked plans, the witch also briefly told Pietro and his sister about what would happen in another universe in the future.

Pietro said incredulously, "You mean, we'll be recruited by some organization called Hydra to undergo superhuman experiments, and then awaken superpowers—you'll awaken a magical power, and I'll awaken super speed?"

The witch nodded seriously: "That's right!"

Upon hearing this, Pietro's expression twisted even more: "Then why, even with supersonic speeds, did I still die from a bullet?"

"Even if my future self is trying to save people, couldn't I just use my super speed to move them away? Why do I have to use my own body to block bullets???"

Even the witch herself fell silent in the face of this question. Having always been unwilling to confront her brother's death, she had never truly given this matter serious thought...

At this moment, Toby, who had stopped thinking, casually remarked, "Maybe your special effects budget was too high~"

Pietro: ? ? ?

Seeing Pietro's bewildered expression, Toby shrugged: "I was just kidding, you guys continue..."

The witch comforted him, "Don't worry, Pietro, this universe is different from mine. The heroes of this universe are more powerful, and I'm here too. I will never let that happen again!"

With the comfort of his "sister," Pietro finally snapped out of his daze, realizing that his future self, a speedster, had been shot and killed in the future...

Meanwhile, the other Wanda was also a bit confused, asking her counterpart, "Um... Wanda? Um, what should I call you?"

Wanda always felt uneasy calling out to another version of herself, using her own name.

Looking at her other, more innocent self, not yet completely consumed by sorrow, the witch smiled gently.

"If you don't mind, you can call me 'older sister.' Although we are variations from parallel universes, we are ultimately not the same person. So you don't need to feel that I'm taking up your place and name. You can treat me as your older sister who looks just like you..."

Upon hearing this, young Wanda looked at the sincere-faced witch and finally accepted the explanation:

"Okay, sister, will I really fall in love with a... uh, a mechanical intelligent life form, just like you said?"

Upon hearing this, the witch gently shook her head:

"No, that's just my past, not your future. This universe is much more developed than the one I live in. Thanks to the Spider Family's efficient handling, many crises were controlled in their initial stages. So, it's highly unlikely that Vision will reappear in this universe..."

Toby, standing to the side, silently affirmed the witch's opinion in his heart.

Now that the Mind Stone is in his hands, how could he possibly use it to create a Vision?

Moreover, compared to Vision, whose strength fluctuates wildly and is extremely unstable, Toby prefers the pure and efficient artificial intelligence 'Jarvis'.

In this universe, he would never let Jarvis disappear and become Vision; at most, he would give Jarvis a push to make it a true electronic life form.

Just like Dr. Zola of Hydra...

And this person, it's just that they can't control what they think about; whatever they think about often comes true...

Boom boom boom!

Before Wanda could continue asking the witch questions, the knocking on the door sounded again.

Pietro and Wanda were taken aback, and instinctively looked at Toby and the witch, asking, "Did you bring any other friends?"

The witch was about to shake her head when she suddenly paused, as if remembering something, and abruptly looked at Toby: "At this time, they've arrived!"

In her universe, roughly after the Battle of New York, after Hydra, who had infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D., obtained the Mind Scepter, she and Pietro were recruited by Hydra as volunteers.

"Hmm." Upon hearing this, Toby naturally knew that the "they" the witch was referring to were Hydra, so he stood up from his chair and walked towards the door.

As the door opened, the Hydra agent at the entrance was about to launch into his enticing rhetoric about helping the siblings gain the power to take revenge on Iron Man when he looked up and discovered that the person who opened the door was not the orphaned siblings they were investigating, but someone who could terrify every rat in the gutter of the world!

He is... the villainous Spider-Man!
