American comic book: Absolute Spider-Man

Chapter 90 Iced!

If suddenly taking over the responsibilities of the Sorcerer Supreme was like being screwed over by a dog for Peter, then the current situation is like being screwed over by a dog.

"That's the situation." Inside the Avengers Tower, Peter recounted to everyone how he used the time loop to defeat Ultron, casually tricked Knull, and then got himself into trouble.

Tony circled Peter, who was sitting on the sofa, scrutinizing him closely. He asked疑惑地, "The Black Emperor? The guardian of the multiverse?"

Tony felt his worldview being shaken. He stroked his mustache and said, "If you're the most suitable candidate, then our universe is probably doomed."

The noise from the symbiote in the Hive Mind kept echoing in Peter's mind, and as the top of the Hive Mind, Peter couldn't even block out these voices.

Peter's current strength has stabilized at the single-universe level, but he can still feel headaches. "In a sense, our universe is indeed beyond saving. The power of a single-universe level Black Emperor cannot help us survive a multiverse or even an omniverse-level catastrophe."

Tony sat on the sofa next to Peter, while Jarvis, now in a body, stood behind the sofa like a dutiful butler.

"Then why don't you use your power to destroy everyone in the universe who poses a threat to Earth, and incidentally help us achieve a leap in our civilization level?"

"Jarvis, get me a bottle of Coke. A Mexican Coke in a thick-bottomed glass bottle," Peter instructed Jarvis.

"Yes, Mr. Parker."

Peter then said to Tony, "If I were to use my personal will and the power of the Living Abyss to do what you said, changing the ecology and structure of the Universe, I would be exercising my royal power. That would make my bond with the Living Abyss even stronger."

"However, during the battle with Ultron using cosmic power, I analyzed most of the technologies Ultron used, which I think you'll definitely find interesting." Peter took the Coke Jarvis offered him.

Something felt off about the texture in his hand. Peter looked at Jarvis incredulously: "Room temperature?"

Jarvis asked, puzzled, "Yes, is there something wrong with it?"

Peter slammed the glass bottle onto the coffee table: "Iced!"

"That's so fucking unprofessional!"

Peter felt that Jarvis, the super artificial intelligence created at the cost of hundreds of billions of vibranium and an Infinity Stone, was useless, as he didn't even know the common sense that room-temperature cola was worse than urine.

Jarvis gave an apologetic look, picked up the bottle of Coke on the coffee table, and prepared to replace it with an iced one for Peter.

"Jarvis, I'll have one too, and get me a box of chocolates as well," Venom said, peeking out from Peter's shoulder.

Tony looked at Peter and Venom on his shoulder with displeasure: "You two have gone too far, treating Jarvis, this super artificial intelligence, like a servant."

Peter took the Coke from Jarvis, took a swig, and burped: "An artificial idiot who doesn't even know that Coke should be iced, might as well be dismantled and sold to a scrap dealer for money."

Tony was a little embarrassed. If Jarvis had given him a bottle of room-temperature Coke, he would definitely have been furious too.

Venom took a sip of cola and a bite of chocolate, then loudly proclaimed, "Even the smartest artificial intelligence can't eat, burp~"

Another tentacle extended from Peter and landed on Jarvis.

The symbiote tissue seeped into Jarvis's vibranium skin and connected with his mechanical nerves. Peter packaged all the data he had compiled and sent it to Jarvis.

"I've sent all the Ultron technology I've cracked to Jarvis. For the next while, Tony, you're in charge of turning these theoretical technologies into reality."

While analyzing the equations recorded in the light and shadow projected by Jarvis using the Mind Stone, Tony replied, "This will probably be a long-term project, and I alone won't be enough."

"Then gather manpower; no scientist can resist the allure of these technologies."

Peter added, "Oh, by the way, I released the twins underground. They won't be enemies with the Avengers anymore."

Queens, Parker Industries headquarters, president's office.

Peter stepped out of the portal and saw Harry and Ned sitting on the sofa, playing games using a holographic projection.

The CSO and CTO of Parker Industries, instead of staying in their own offices and working hard to make Peter's career more lucrative, are slacking off in their boss's office.

What angered Peter even more was that Harry was playing video games while having a blonde, blue-eyed girl in his arms, a typical American sweetheart.

Peter walked up to the three men and cursed, "Damn it, instead of leading the charge in this cutthroat competition, the leader's playing video games with a woman in his arms! He deserves to die!"

Harry grabbed Peter and pulled him down to sit between him and Ned: "You damn capitalist, you should be hung up by the streetlights! When did you get back?"

"It was a few days ago, I just finished up with the Avengers stuff." Peter gestured to Harry's female companion. "Let me introduce you."

"Liz Allen, my girlfriend. I met her at the Ivy New Club; she's the club owner's daughter."

"Hi!" Liz greeted Peter.

Peter replied politely.

"How has the company fared while I was away?"

Harry paused the game and accessed Parker Industries' internal data from the holographic projection.

"In addition to the hemostatic gel, the production lines for other products have also been set up."

Zhengxue Gel has been sold to hundreds of countries around the world, bringing the company tens of millions of yuan in profit every month.

Other products, such as high-strength fibers, rigid substrates, and high-toughness substrates, have already been used by the Department of Defense, Formula 1 teams, NASA, and other organizations.

Sports protective gear brands sign procurement contracts.

The combined monthly profit from all products fluctuates around 60 million. Considering Parker Industries' current scale, the profit margin is quite high.

"But compared to the Osborn Corporation or Stark Industries, this profit is nothing, not even a fraction of theirs, is it?"

Harry nodded. "Yes, and there's one more thing you need to know: we're being watched."

"Who?"

"A military-industrial complex and a medical giant."

Peter wasn't surprised by this. In the American business ecosystem, non-large companies with their own highly competitive products will inevitably encounter some problems after they reach a certain stage of development.

Peter has a good relationship with the current president, Matthew, but there are plenty of giant corporations, conglomerates, and families in the United States that don't care about Matthew.

When Parker Industries came into their view, they certainly wouldn't sit idly by and watch this company with highly competitive products grow bigger. Instead, they would use every means to swallow Parker Industries like a piece of fat meat.

Peter was also somewhat moved, that a dignified black-clad emperor actually had to play house with a bunch of mortals on Earth.

In the Marvel Universe, power that isn't acquired through one's own efforts is truly a liability.

Harry added, "One last thing, I've found the management talent you needed. Managing a company is really not for me, it's too damn boring."

Harry pulled up the candidate's information on the holographic projection: "Mary Jane Watson, a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and Liz's senior."

Peter looked at the red-haired girl on the projection, his eyes becoming meaningful.
