Chapter 309. Talismans (Part2)

"It's quite amazing, isn't it? This meteorite from space."

Victor Von Doom looked at the meteorite in front of him and said so expressionlessly.

"We have studied this meteorite through various methods, but we still can't completely analyze its composition. I have a feeling that this meteorite may be hiding unknown secrets, and if we can explore..."

"I didn't come here to listen to your lengthy speeches, Victor." Ned, the shareholder representative, interrupted. "I don't care how impressive this meteorite is. I only know that a week has passed, and you still haven't come up with any remedies."

At this point, Ned's mouth involuntarily curved upward, but quickly recovered and continued, "So, for the sake of the company's continued development, the board of directors has to make a decision. As a friend who has known you for so long, Victor, I regret to inform you that you should prepare to let go."

"Let go?"

Ned's words fell into Victor's ears, sounding like irony.

A mocking smile appeared on his cold face, "You're telling me to give up my own company, to give up everything?"

"On this matter, Victor, you should be very clear. All of this is caused by your arbitrary decisions in the company. If you hadn't continued with your so-called cosmic storm plan against everyone's wishes, the company wouldn't have ended up like this."

"But when I proposed the plan, you all agreed to it as well."

"That's because you made promises to us, Victor. Now that the space program had completely failed, you have to take responsibility for this failure," said Ned, who, despite claiming to be Victor's friend, appeared eager to see him fail.

"You're happy to see all of this, aren't you, Ned?"

Without turning his head, Victor silently asked as he stared at the meteorite before him.

"My emotions don't affect the board's decision."

In response to Victor's questioning, Ned didn't seem to take it too seriously. In his view, the company's situation had been determined, and Victor was destined to be kicked out.

"You seem to have forgotten, Ned."

Silently turning around, Victor looked at Ned behind him. Under the dim lighting of the room, Victor's expression became increasingly cold, "Who founded the company in the first place? This belongs to me, and nobody can take it away from me."

"Victor, it seems like you need to take a good rest for a while. Your current mental state is clearly not suitable to lead the company."

Ned couldn't help but frown at Victor's words.

"No, you're the one who needs to rest."

Hearing Ned's words, Victor coldly laughed and pulled out his right hand that he had been hiding in his pocket.

As a result of the radiation from the cosmic storm, his right hand had completely turned metallic.

"Victor, your hand, you..."

As he looked at the silver palm in front of him, fear began to show on Ned's face. Obviously, the situation in front of him had gone beyond his imagination.

"You seem surprised. Yes, not only Reed and the others were affected by the radiation, but I was too." Victor's expression grew colder as he looked down at his metallic hand. "In fact, you're wrong, Ned. The space program didn't fail. On the contrary, it was quite successful. Unfortunately, you were never meant to see any of it."

"No, Victor, you can't do this."

In the next instant, accompanied by Ned's screams of agony, a dull thud and the sound of bones breaking rang out. Unintentionally, splatters of blood fell onto the nearby meteorite, and then, unnoticed by anyone, the blood disappeared without a trace.

.....

"So, what exactly is this thing?"

On the rooftop of an apartment building, the evil Spider-Man held half of the talisman in his hand, looking at the tiger pattern on it and muttering to himself,

"Why did it separate me?"

Although the evil Spider-Man had an evil character like a villain, it didn't mean that he lacked the ability to think. He also had an impression of the scene when he encountered Phantom Thief Kid before.

Holding the talisman, the evil Spider-Man could vaguely feel a mysterious power flowing within it, but it seemed that the power couldn't be triggered due to the lack of the other half.

"Forget it, why bother thinking so much..."

Frowning, after pondering for a moment, the evil Spider-Man gave up on the idea of thinking further.

For now, he had plenty of time to do other things, so why limit himself to this unknown talisman and ponder over it.

"Let's see, what fun thing I can do next?"

Having figured it out, evil Spider-Man put away the talisman in his hand and was about to continue having fun. Suddenly, his spider-sense had a reaction. He turned his head and, with his keen eyesight, immediately saw good Peter below the apartment, looking meek and obedient, accompanied by Tony and an unfamiliar big-nosed guy.

....

"Are you sure this would work?"

On the street, Tony looked at the clone, Uncle Dragon, holding a compass, walking around and stopping. He asked with a curious expression on his face.

He had previously thought that as a Foundation containment specialist, Uncle Dragon should have a way to find the containment item, but he didn't expect that the other party's search method was so antiquated, relying solely on a compass for guidance.

"Of course."

Looking at the direction guided by the compass in his hand, the clone replied with confidence, "Although it doesn't look like much, this compass is also a containment item, with the ability to point to the direction that the user wants the most in their heart."

"Wants most in their heart?"

Looking at the compass in the clone's hand, which had nothing strange about it, Tony showed a hint of surprise on his face. Even though he already knew about the existence of containment items, he still found it difficult to adapt to these containment items with strange abilities.

"Mr. Stark, Mr. Dragon, do we really have to meet the other me?"

Walking behind the clone and Tony, Peter couldn't help but ask cautiously. 'If possible, I really don't want to meet the other version of myself, it's just too terrifying.'

"Do you want to live like this forever?"

Tony couldn't help but reply when he turned around and saw Peter's worried and fearful expression. He hated an impolite Spider-Man, but this excessively cowardly and worried one in front of him made him feel a little helpless.

"Well, it's actually not bad like this."

Faced with Tony's question, the good Spider-Man hesitated for a moment before replying sincerely from the heart.

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if the other you really caused a big disaster one day? When he reveals the exact same face as you, you'll be implicated, and even your Aunt May would be affected."

"..."

Tony's words made the good Spider-Man fall into silence.

Although he had become timid and cowardly, his feelings for Aunt May hadn't diminished at all because of the talisman. In Peter's eyes, Aunt May was his only and most important relative.
