Ryan shook off the rotting flesh stuck to his left hand: "Just an avatar, what are you acting so arrogant for in front of me? The last dimensional lord who was this arrogant in front of me had half of his dimension blown up by me, your true form wouldn't even stand a chance!"
Soul bodies can't be attacked?
The Soul Stone says it doesn't quite understand!
Infinite Power says it doesn't understand either!
Just when everyone present, except for Ryan, thought that this guy named Mephisto had been crushed to death by Ryan like all previous enemies...
A familiar voice drifted through the air, it was Mephisto's voice...
"Six Infinity Stones? You're that guy who forced Dormammu into self-sealing. No wonder you could pull people out of my hell..."
"Hehe, fighting to the death with you—someone who can hurt Dormammu—over a mere few souls is indeed not a wise move. Consider these few souls my gift to you. But wielding six Infinity Stones and using them to resurrect the dead has severely disrupted the rules of the Universe. Even if I don't look for trouble with you, your trouble has only just begun. Look forward to it..."
As the last sentence fell, the corpse of Mephisto's avatar on the ground turned into wisps of black smoke and disappeared into the air.
At the same time, the magic array in the conference room also disappeared, proving that Mephisto had truly left.
Ryan turned around, sat back in the main seat, and said indifferently: "Alright, the small interlude is over, let's continue with the year-end bonus distribution."
Looking at Ryan, who was as calm as if nothing had happened, everyone doubted whether they had just been dreaming.
Peter looked at his dumbfounded mother, gritted his teeth, and asked:
"Ryan, was what that Mephisto said just now true—that you'll get into trouble for resurrecting Mr. Stark's and my parents?"
At this time, Peter's mother Mary also came to her senses, looked at Ryan, and said gently:
"You're Ryan? You've grown up so much. Have I caused you trouble? Why don't you send me back to where I belong? Being able to see a grown-up Peter one more time, I'm already very satisfied..."
Hearing this, Tony's side also fell silent.
He neither opposed nor agreed, merely clenching his fists.
And silently formulated a plan for an anti-Mephisto armor in his heart.
Ryan first smiled and nodded at Mary: "Aunt Mary, long time no see. I am indeed your nephew Ryan Parker, and you haven't caused me any trouble. This is right where you belong, please feel at ease and stay here."
Immediately afterwards, Ryan looked at Peter, changing his expression at the speed of light, and said coldly: "You actually believe the enemy's nonsense? Which super villain doesn't drop a few harsh words after being defeated? Are you going to believe every single one of those threats?"
"And even if what he said is true, so what? Will those dangers stop coming just because you worry about them?"
"Even if the sky falls, I'm the tallest one here to hold it up. Just sit down and be at peace, and do the job I gave you!"
These words were meant for Peter to hear, and also for everyone present.
Looking at Ryan's high-and-mighty words delivered with his invincible posture, everyone immediately felt at ease.
They weren't afraid of Ryan giving them a cold face; they were only afraid of Ryan showing the same panicked expression as them.
Because that would mean the World is truly doomed!
Therefore, everyone sat down with peace of mind.
Seeing everyone sit down, Ryan said indifferently:
"Regarding the special reward of this resurrection quota, since the persons with the highest annual contribution and highest activity are Tony and Peter respectively, and both of them have already used their resurrection quotas, this resurrection ceremony ends here..."
"Of course, this doesn't mean you don't have a chance to resurrect your own family members. Next, if any of you still want to resurrect your loved ones, it will be calculated as ten thousand contribution points to resurrect one person. Save up enough contribution points and then come find me."
Hearing this, everyone grew excited, and their enthusiasm for executing missions to earn contribution points became even higher!
According to the Spider Family's rule that Ultron records one contribution point for saving one person, each of them only needed to save ten thousand people to resurrect one of their loved ones!
Of course, if you were a genius like Tony and occasionally invented some black technology for the Spider Family, your contribution points would rise even faster!
And sometimes executing missions across cities or even across countries would also grant a certain amount of contribution points given by Ultron based on the mission's scale.
Originally, they would take these contribution points to the Spider Base to trade for rare items from various Worlds, or exchange them directly for cash. But now that the 'resurrection quota' was out, the use of contribution points had obviously become even greater!
A virtual currency that surpassed Bitcoin was thus born!
Seeing everyone engaged in heated discussions with each other, Ryan tapped on the table, attracting everyone's attention.
"Alright, the matter of contribution points can be discussed privately; don't waste the meeting's time. Now, the official distribution of the year-end bonus begins. Everyone go inside and choose your own battle suit."
"Battle suit?"
Everyone was somewhat puzzled.
Ryan didn't explain either; instead, he opened a spatial portal leading to Klyntar.
Previously, he had packed the entire Klyntar into a miniature Universe created by the power of the Infinity Stones.
And this miniature Universe wasn't actually located anywhere in the Universe, but right inside the Space Stone.
That's right, Ryan actually carried a Symbiote Planet with him!
Inside it was even trapped a big boss with an extremely high ceiling—Knull, the King in Black!
Ryan didn't go in; instead, he had the two Gwens lead everyone like a 'sightseeing tour group' into Klyntar to choose their respective suitable Symbiotes.
Including the newly resurrected Howard couple and Aunt Mary, Ryan also had them go together.
The Howard couple were genius scientists themselves, so the resurrected pair were naturally invited by Ryan to join the research department of the Spider Family.
Hearing Tony recount the scale and greatness of the Spider Family, the two naturally didn't refuse to join.
And just like Skye and Sandman who had just joined, the Symbiote was the welcoming gift Ryan gave them.
Anyway, Ryan's Symbiotes were as plentiful as Chinese cabbages right now; he wasn't short of those few.
As for Peter's mother, although she was just an ordinary woman and hadn't joined the Spider Family, nominally she was Ryan's aunt, so having one share was quite normal, right?
Not only did Peter's mother have one, but Ryan's own parents had them as well.
And for his own parents, Ryan would definitely give them the best.
When he got home, he would personally extract Knull's power and create two Symbiotes of the dragon tier for his parents!
And his father-in-law had to be prepared with a decent Symbiote as well.
After all, the position of the New York Police Department Director was still quite dangerous.
No, he should probably prepare two portions, or maybe three?
After all, Alternate Universe Gwen's old man needed a share too.
And Gwenpool—although he hadn't started conquering her yet, it's better to be prepared~
"Hello hello, Boss, are you still online?"
Just as Ryan was pondering the arrangements for his three fathers-in-law, a wretched voice came from beside his ear.
Ryan snapped back to reality and only then discovered that Deadpool and Gwenpool hadn't left at all, but were standing right next to him.
This made Ryan couldn't help but look the two of them over a couple of times.
I have to say, Deadpool being able to slaughter the Marvel Universe in the comics really wasn't without reason.
Even now, when Deadpool didn't harbor killing intent toward him, he would subconsciously overlook Deadpool's presence!
Don't underestimate this point; this is a seriously bugged ability!
Unfortunately, this ability belonged uniquely to Deadpool and couldn't be absorbed.
Ryan shook his head, cast aside distracting thoughts, and asked: "You guys can also go inside to pick a Symbiote. What are you still staying here for? Is something the matter?"
Deadpool spread his hands and sighed: "Sigh, I'd love to go dote on my little Symbiote baby too, but the Big Boss gave me a mission. I need to deliver the Big Boss's commission to you first~"
Hearing this, Ryan got a bit interested: "Loki's commission, tell me the details~"
Deadpool took out a TVA tablet, projected an image above Earth featuring a huge purple phantom, and explained:
"It's all because of that asshole Mr. Fantastic from Universe 828. Earth in their Universe encountered Galactus, and then after a series of brain-dead operations by Mr. Fantastic, the Fantastic Four of Universe 828 finally used a teleportation device to teleport Galactus away, but they teleported Galactus to the Earth of another Universe, which is..."
