However, this time wasn't entirely without gain; at least he knew that Inheritor Family had already appeared. With all the preparations in place, he wouldn't be caught off guard by a sudden appearance of Inheritor Family in the future!
But he didn't know when Inheritor Family would come looking for him...
Ryan's eyes flickered as he considered whether he should, like Otto Parker in the comics, gather other Spider-Men from the Multiverse to fight Inheritor Family together.
Anyway, this Universe already had ready-made Quantum Realm travel technology; he could entirely travel to different Worlds through the Quantum Realm.
Speaking of which, he wondered if this Multiverse had Six-Armed Spider-Man. If he teamed up with Six-Armed Spider-Man, Inheritor Family would be nothing!
Unfortunately, neither his Universe nor this one had the character 'Miss America' America Chavez.
Otherwise, if Ryan absorbed Miss America and gained her ability to travel through the Multiverse, traveling to other Universes wouldn't be so troublesome.
Sadly, Miss America was a rare unique figure in the Multiverse.
In other words, across countless parallel Universes, only one Miss America existed...
Just as across countless parallel Universes, only one Ryan Parker existed...
"Hey, Ryan, are you okay?"
It wasn't until Captain America's voice rang in his ear that Ryan snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the man guarding him, constantly repelling the bio-weapons from Thanos's Legion attacking his way.
Even without Captain America's protection, in his standby mode, these grunts couldn't do anything to him; the parasitic Riot alone could keep them from getting close.
But Ryan still scanned the countless bio-weapons on the battlefield, his gaze indifferent: "It just so happens that using the six infinity stones later will require a lot of energy. I'll use you all to top up..."
With that, Ryan crossed his arms in an X-shape over his chest, and the six-colored glow on his body began to shine even more blindingly, clearly charging up.
After charging for less than a second, Ryan suddenly flung his arms open!
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—
In an instant, countless six-colored tentacles shot out from Ryan's body in all directions, extending infinitely to pierce through one bio-weapon after another. The extending tentacles only stopped once they covered the entire range of the bio-weapons and had pierced through every single one of them.
Then, Ryan, at the center of the tentacles, clenched his right hand. The countless extended six-colored tentacles instantly retracted, brushing past the bodies of the motionless Avengers and carrying all the bio-weapons toward Ryan.
By the time the tentacles returned to Ryan's side, the countless bio-weapons skewered on them had long been drained of energy, exploding into clouds of dust during the retraction.
The energy of these millions of bio-weapons was now all concentrated within Ryan's body.
For the first time, Ryan felt a Strange sense of 'fullness' in his body, as if something was about to burst forth...
Phew—
Exhaling deeply, under the excited gazes of all the Avengers, Ryan—now at 10% energy—slowly raised his right hand wrapped in six-colored light and placed his thumb against his middle finger.
Snap—
After a crisp snap of the fingers, everyone's vision turned into a vast expanse of white. The entire Universe seemed to be illuminated by a mysterious white light at that moment.
When everyone regained their vision, they immediately felt different... the whole Universe felt different!
It was as if... the vitality within the Universe had become more vigorous!
Which meant...
Ring, ring, ring—
After Thanos's army at the Avengers Base was completely devoured by Ryan, a sudden ringtone of a mobile phone echoed across the empty battlefield.
Everyone instantly looked toward the source of the sound, and the person whose phone was ringing was the archer who had been standing on the high ground, Hawkeye Barton!
Hawkeye tremblingly pulled his phone out of his suit. Seeing the incoming call from his wife, his eyes instantly filled with tears, and he nodded to the others:
"We... won!!!"
The Avengers:!!!!
"We... defeated Thanos's army, and we brought everyone back!"
"We really won!!!!"
Upon hearing this good news, all the Avengers instinctively ran toward Ryan, lifted him up, and tossed him high into the air!
Because today, Ryan was the brightest star in this Universe, the savior of the entire Universe!
Perhaps not everyone would know it was Ryan who saved them, but the Avengers present would remember it forever!
After snapping his fingers, because he had absorbed Thanos's army of millions in advance, the backlash wasn't as intense as imagined. However, Ryan still felt a sense of being drained, so he let them toss him high repeatedly, enjoying the savior-like treatment wrapped in a gentle breeze.
I've helped so much, what's wrong with enjoying myself a bit?
When the people resurrected by Ryan's snap in this Universe arrived at the battlefield, led by Doctor Strange and the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj, this was the bizarre scene they witnessed...
Doctor Strange's face was full of bewilderment.
Where was Thanos?
Where was Thanos's army?
In the fourteen million futures, the only one where they won—shouldn't it have been the surviving Avengers fighting a hard battle against Thanos, followed by the resurrected Avengers saving the day at the last second, and finally, after another hard battle, ending it all with Tony's self-sacrifice to snap his fingers?
Why did the scene now look like a celebration party???
But at this moment, Doctor Strange had also lost the Time Stone, so he couldn't see what had happened before. He could only lead the reinforcement team in a daze to join the cheering Avengers.
Before Doctor Strange could even ask, a red and gold iron figure clutching a Nano Gauntlet rushed out from the Avengers Base, shouting as he flew: "I was fucking ambushed by those damn mind controllers again, and I lost the Infinity Stones, everyone!"
Everyone:...
Then Tony, who had just woken up from his coma and rushed out, saw that there was no sign of Thanos or his army on the battlefield. Instead, it was filled with their own resurrected army and the six-colored Ryan surrounded by the Avengers.
"What the f—???"
Tony had a look of disbelief, not understanding what the situation was.
He just took a nap, and everything was over?
You've got to be kidding me. He, who was always the protagonist at the center of events, actually played an insignificant supporting role today???
