Chapter 81. The Parker Family's Secret! The God of Thunder Watching Thor 1!

Seeing this question posed by the system, several eyes in the live stream room flickered.

One of them, Tony, even came up with his answer in an instant.

But instead of being the first to answer, he glanced at Peter Parker.

He saw Peter's eyes wide with confusion, and for a moment, he was stunned.

Obviously, these four answers caused quite a shock to him.

At this time, young Wanda asked, a little confused...

"I know Curt Connors, the lizard doctor. But who are the other three? I don't think I saw them in the video just now."

Peter Parker frowned and slowly said...

"Richard Parker is my father, and Ben Parker is his brother, my Uncle Ben."

"Norman Osborne is the owner of Oscorp."

Hearing that, Natasha Romanoff tentatively asked...

"Is it possible that Norman Osborne has something to do with your ability?"

Peter Parker shook his head in confusion.

When he was a child, he was friends with Norman Osborn's son, Harry Osborn.

But in recent years, Peter and the Osborne family had very little contact.

Loki smiled...

"Isn't it an easy answer? I think it's Richard Parker."

"After all, the mutant spider that bit this kid was created by Richard Parker!"

"So naturally, the answer is B!"

Hearing Loki openly spell out the answer, the crowd's expressions were a little weird.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one rushed to answer.

At this point, young Wanda suddenly and nonchalantly said to Loki...

"If you know that's the answer, then why don't you just answer it first? Instead, you're giving us the answer? I don't think you would be that kind."

Seeing the smile on Loki's face slightly stiffen, Wanda simply took advantage of the situation and snorted...

"I knew it!... You're trying to get us to go first! Getting rid of the wrong answer, your chances of winning would be taken up a notch!"

"You ..."

Looking at the white-haired young Wanda, Loki's brows finally furrowed.

It seems that he underestimated the little girl.

Seeing that, Strange snorted and directly said...

"In fact, I'm still a bit puzzled as to why Peter was given such strong superpowers when a spider just bit him. That's obviously not normal."

"In the last 10 years after his father disappeared, Osborne must have studied these spiders inside out."

"If they can create super-powered people out of thin air, with a simple bite, there's no reason why Osborne wouldn't find out."

Natasha couldn't help but ask...

"So... it's not just the spiders?"

Strange spoke with a stony face...

"As things stand, I have also gained some experience in answering questions. In my opinion, the questions asked by the system are sometimes misleading."

"The answers that seem most likely to be the right ones are often the wrong ones."

Upon hearing that, most of the crowd recalled the past questions, and Tony was the only one with a very odd expression on his face.

It was as if he was trying to hold back a laugh.

Natasha was also in deep thought at this point.

"It seems that this question is very misleading."

"If you go straight for option B simply because of the ... video revealing that those mutant spiders were made by Richard Parker, you will probably fall into a trap!"

Natasha felt a slight chill down her back, thinking about the last time she was forced to reveal something confidential in public after a wrong answer.

As an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D who left the land of the Red Bear, there was no telling how many dark secrets she had.

It could be said that, as long as it was disclosed to the outside world, it would lead to international disputes.

Looking at Peter, Natasha asked with a serious look on her face...

"Since Uncle Ben is your father's brother, does he have any experience in scientific research?"

"Scientific research?"

All of a sudden, Peter's expression turned strange...

"Uncle Ben is in the construction industry, nothing to do with scientific research."

With a slight twitch of her eyebrows, Natasha instantly remembered that in the video, Uncle Ben had also talked to Peter about his normal capabilities. After Peter turned 10, he was no longer able to help Peter with his homework.

"The last two ... Dr Connors, and that Norman Osborn?"

Strange couldn't help but frown at this point, muttering to himself...

"It took Dr Connors over ten years to work out the formula. Even after obtaining the formula, he still turned himself into a lizard man. You can see he has his limits."

"In that case ..."

Hearing that, Natasha had a flash of insight in her mind and immediately looked up and shouted,

"I choose the answer A. Norman Osborn!"

This was actually a simple elimination method.

Among the four answers, Richard Parker was a trap, and Ben Parker and Curt Connors could be ruled out. So, the answer would be A!

After her last inexplicable loss, Natasha had been very upset.

This time, she was going to win it all back with interest.

[Ding! Natasha Romanoff has answered. The Quiz system will rule ...]

[Ding! Natasha Romanoff's answer is incorrect.]

"Wrong again?! How?"

At the sound of the system's voice, Natasha's body shook, and her eyes widened in disbelief before she instinctively reached out to cover her mouth.

But that emotionless voice still kept ringing.

[Random penalty imposed. Natasha Romanoff will be forced to reveal a newly learned secret. Implement immediately.]

Despite Natasha's desperate attempts to cover her mouth, some irresistible force drove her to open it and uncontrollably say...

"Just a few hours ago, S.H.I.E.L.D. learned that a hammer had been found in the desert in the middle of New Mexico."

"The hammer is small, but no one can lift it. It couldn't even be pulled with a truck."

"The Director believes that the hammer may be connected to an alien civilisation. Agent Coulson was sent to investigate."

"Damn it! Natasha, what the hell are you doing?"

Looking at Natasha on-screen, eloquently giving out S.H.I.E.L.D's restricted information, the veins on Fury's forehead were bulging. His remaining eye looked like it was about to pop out.

At this moment, Fury was furious and raised a little resentment against Natasha.

'At least you're one of the leading female agents of S.H.I.E.L.D ... no, the world! How could you get the wrong answer in a simple Quiz!? What the hell!'

"A hammer that can't be lifted?"

The others were fine, but at those words, Loki's eyes fluttered. Even his heartbeat quickened a few notches.

He was certain that the hammer the woman mentioned was Thor's hammer, which was thrown into the Rainbow Bridge by Odin.

Growing up with Thor, Loki knew Thor's hammer better than Thor himself!

The most amazing thing about Thor's hammer, apart from having a near invulnerable attack and summoning thunder, was that ...

Except for Thor himself, no one else could lift the hammer!

At times, Thor would even take advantage of the hammer's nature by deliberately placing the hammer on his enemies and watching them get pinned to the ground, unable to move, for the fun of it.

By this point, Loki also remembered what Odin had said when he had thrown Thor's hammer away.

'Whoever holds this hammer, if he is worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.'

'The power of Thor!'

After seeing Thor's future powers, the 'divine powers' and the 'divine body', Loki had a new understanding of Thor.

That was the power of a supreme bloodline that even the average Asgardian gods couldn't imagine.

'If I can lift this hammer myself, wouldn't that make me a superior being to the Asgardian gods?'

When he thought about that, Loki had an itch in his heart. He couldn't wait to get out of the live streaming room and go to New Mexico to try and lift Thor's hammer!

On the other hand, Natasha's whole body trembled. She was angry and helpless after being forced to reveal some secrets. Strange and the others ... all had a look similar to that of a dying rabbit.

'Thank you for your sacrifice!'

'Now, who's going to be the second brave soldier?'

Just as they were all thinking of the same thing, Tony shrugged his shoulders and calmly said,

"I choose B. Richard Parker."

"What?"

Peter couldn't believe it. He looked at Tony with a little more concern in his eyes.

"Mr Stark didn't become silly all of the sudden, right?"

'Didn't you just say that the system likes to set traps? So, the one that seems most likely to be the right answer would be the wrong one instead!'

Soon, the system's voice sounded again.

[Ding! Tony Stark has answered. The Quiz system will rule ...]

[Ding! Tony Stark is the answer is correct.]

"Haha ...!"

There was no particular expression on Tony's face, just a slight upturn in the corners of his mouth and a smile that showed off his confidence.

At that moment, Strange, who was standing to one side, had a grim look on his face. His gaze was filled with astonishment.

'Why?'

'Why is this right?'

'Peter couldn't have gained his powers just because of that spider.'

'There should be other factors ...'

At that moment, there was a spark in Strange's mind. His mouth opened involuntarily, with a look of realisation on his face.

"Oh, would you look at that... You seem to have realised it."

Tony glanced at Strange and shrugged his shoulders innocently.

"Unfortunately, you noticed it a little too late."

At this point, the system's voice continued to sound.

[Tony Stark gets 100 live broadcast points, which can be used to request the broadcasting of past or future events related to himself.]

[Tony Stark won a random reward... Shadow Communicator!]

And at the same time, as the system sounded, a series of messages flooded into Tony's mind.

His expression immediately became one of surprise and curiosity.

'Shadow Communicator, a technology that uses that so-called Shadow Dimension to communicate on a mental level? That's interesting.'

Figuring out the information carefully, Tony slightly nodded his head.

'Using my newly acquired Void Engine, the Shadow Channel code could be implanted into the opponent's mind.'

'From then on, the two can talk with their minds, anytime and anywhere, through the Shadow Communicator.'

'Wow, the various modes of communication sound so futuristic.'

Tony clapped his hands gently, and the corners of his mouth curved up.

'This ...'

'I like it!'

At this moment, Tony had already started to calculate in his mind. He wanted to try out the Shadow Communicator on someone right after he left this live streaming room!

Beside him, Natasha and Peter were looking a bit dumbfounded.

"Why? Why is Richard Parker the correct answer?"

"Dad!? Dad gave me this ability?"

Looking at the confused faces of the two, Strange laughed bitterly and slowly explained...

"We all forgot one thing from the video just now. We can tell that both Peter's father and Connors ... were studying cross-species genetics back then."

"That is to say; they were able to mix genes from humans and other species in order to create entirely new species."

"So ... if Richard Parker used human genes when he created those mutant spiders, whose genes would he use?"

Hearing that, Peter felt as if he had been struck by thunder. His eyes were wide open, and his expression completely froze.

Natasha first looked stunned, then gritted her teeth and said...

"Of course, it's his own genes. That's it! That's why!"

"No wonder Oscorp couldn't come up with results no matter how much they studied those spiders; it's because they don't have the Parker family genes!"

"That kind of spider would only make a person superhuman if they bit a Parker family member!"

"How could that be? Dad, he actually ..."

Hearing Natasha gnash her teeth, Peter was overwhelmed with mixed feelings that he couldn't say a word.

He thought that the future 'self' in the video got his powers only because of luck.

Who would have thought that this ability would have been 'built' into him!

"Haha, well said."

Tony glanced at Strange and then looked at Peter. He had just opened his mouth to say something, but he finally swallowed it back.

Originally, he was going to tell Peter to bring a sample of his own blood, along with the mutant spider next time, when he brought them for him.

After all, no amount of research on the spider would have yielded results without the Parker family genes.

However, looking at the gloomy look on Peter's face, Tony thought it would be better to wait until later to talk to him.

In S.H.I.E.L.D's office.

"Breeding mutant spiders with his own blood? So, once he's gone, will the whole study be rendered useless?"

A cold smile suddenly appeared at the corners of Fury's mouth.

'This guy, Richard Parker, is really no slouch.'

'It's okay to do this to the company. But this guy ran away with his wife, and he left his son to his brother.'

'Ordinary people wouldn't do such a thing.'

'But... A guy who's far-sighted would take it one step at a time. Did they really die in a plane crash?'

Fury pondered for a moment and then suddenly smiled softly.

Anyway, it's the other universe's problem; he didn't need to care about it for now.

At this time, the big screen in the live streaming room suddenly lit up.

[Starting to play: Thor 1!]

Meanwhile, in a small town in New Mexico.

"Ah, such a filling meal."

Thor, with a pleasant look on his face, strutted back to the room where Jane Foster and the others were.

Just now, they went to a fast-food restaurant in the town. Thor, on his own, almost swept away all the food items in the fast-food restaurant.

But it seemed that the others had missed their meal because they had watched the live broadcast for too long earlier, so when they went there, there was hardly anyone in the fast-food restaurant.

Thor had just entered the room, and his eyes instantly lit up.

"Why did the picture change? Is this ... Asgard?"

"Wait... isn't this my coronation?"

Thor watched, dumbfounded, as his screen 'self', holding Mjolnir, walked up to Odin and dropped to one knee.

[Odin stood up and thumped Gungnir's handle on the ground.]

["Thor Odinson, my heir."]
