Superman's Saiyan little brother

It must be said that both Thor and the Asgardian quartet were completely different from before. If it had been in the past, Thor, with his hot temper, would definitely have gone back for a rematch after being forced to flee by Tohru.

The Asgardian quartet was the same; they had always been the ones chasing others and fighting on their turf. They had never been in such a sorry state before.

However, this time, after being brainwashed, the Asgardian quartet had no intention of seeking revenge. They completely let go of their hatred towards Tohru and followed Thor to start anew.

Of course, if given the chance, Thor would definitely seek revenge. However, he was now quite wary of Tohru's strength, especially the abilities of the Shadow Soldiers, which instilled a certain fear in him.

Even though Thor and his group managed to escape, their shadows had indeed become dimmer than usual, suggesting a permanent weakening of their powers. This realization was terrifying.

Due to their defeat by Tohru, Thor was forced to change his plans, while Tohru, feeling triumphant after killing his subordinates, continued to look for opportunities to strengthen his power by consuming more shadows.

However, since he was targeting personnel from secret bases of organizations like Hydra, the disturbances he caused weren't too significant. Tony Stark did receive some reports about incidents at S.H.I.E.L.D. and other organizations' bases but didn't pay much attention.

To Tony Stark, these organizations surely had their own trump cards. Whenever they decided to use them, these issues would likely be resolved. Moreover, since these incidents hadn't affected the lives of ordinary people, Tony Stark couldn't be bothered to intervene, as he was already busy dealing with various extraordinary and crisis events in the real world.

Besides, Tony Stark had found some clues about Hydra and was preparing to locate their base and extinguish another faction of Hydra.

Of course, Tony Stark was unaware that the reason Hydra's traces were discovered was because Tohru's Shadow Soldiers were attacking Hydra. The various Hydra branches were forced to reveal themselves to counter the attacks.

"Damn it! What are these shadows? Have we found any information?" In one Hydra base, a high-ranking Hydra official looked grim. They had just used an extraordinary item to successfully eliminate the invading Shadow Soldiers but suffered significant losses.

During the Shadow Soldiers' invasion, many Hydra soldiers fell unconscious due to their shadows being devoured and were killed on the spot during the chaos, with no chance of waking up.

Moreover, the extraordinary item used was extremely valuable, making it hard for the Hydra high-ranking official to accept, so he quickly ordered his subordinates to investigate.

Unfortunately, although Hydra, S.H.I.E.L.D., the Eye of Horus, and other organizations were all investigating the origins of the Shadow Soldiers, they couldn't figure it out. Only the branch of Hydra that had interacted with the Shendu and the Shadow Legion had any clues.

Since information couldn't be shared among these groups, they could only continue using their trump cards to eliminate the Shadow Soldiers and protect their personnel from further losses.

Faced with this situation, Tohru decided to pause his aggressive expansion because his own losses were also significant.

Indeed, Shadow Soldiers could be summoned endlessly as long as Tohru wore the Shadow Mask, but the initial Shadow Soldiers were very weak. Only those who had devoured many shadows could become powerful.

The Shadow Soldiers Tohru had sent out to deal with the major organizations were already grown and powerful, so their loss was a significant blow to Tohru's fighting strength. This forced Tohru to slow down his offensive and use the initial Shadow Soldiers to fight against the organizations.

However, while Tohru's strength was diminished, Thor's powers had recovered, but unfortunately, only Thor's. The Shadow Soldier that had devoured the shadows of the Asgardian quartet hadn't been destroyed.

This development puzzled Thor and the Asgardian quartet, but it made them even more wary of Tohru. They had no intention of seeking revenge despite Thor's recovery.

As Tohru dealt with various organizations and Thor and his group hid in the city, the world of ordinary people remained peaceful. At least, for now, no ordinary people were affected by Tohru and the Shadow Soldiers.

Meanwhile, Peter Parker and his friends were doing quite well. Although there were no extraordinary events, regular dangerous incidents provided Peter Parker opportunities to make a name for himself, especially as Spider-Man.

Spider-Man's fame in peaceful New York was second only to Superman and Iron Man, mainly due to Peter Parker's frequent appearances. Knowing Peter's actions, Tony Stark and Clark Kent had relaxed their interventions, allowing Peter Parker's reputation to grow quickly.

Moreover, Spider-Man's swinging through the city's skyscrapers provided a unique visual thrill, making him stand out more than the flying heroes.

As a result, many parkour enthusiasts started idolizing Spider-Man and imitating his style, inadvertently increasing Spider-Man's workload.

While Peter Parker was gaining fame, his friend Harry Osborn was facing problems. Not with Mary Jane, but with Harry's deteriorating health.

The cause was a genetic disorder in the Osborn family. Harry's father, Norman Osborn, had been trying to find a cure but had yet to succeed.

Norman Osborn believed that if he could replicate a serum similar to the super-soldier serum, it would cure their genetic disorder and free future generations from suffering.

However, despite the prevalence of the super-soldier serum in the extraordinary world and powerful organizations, obtaining it was not easy for Norman Osborn.

When Norman finally acquired a super-soldier serum formula at great cost, he found that its side effects were insurmountable. Even if they succeeded in creating the serum, he and Harry might not survive its power. Even if they did, they couldn't avoid its effects on their personalities.

As a result, Norman Osborn spent a fortune hiring numerous scientists to create a safe super-soldier serum for the Osborn family.

Once, a scientist nearly succeeded but fled with the results, claiming the creation was too dangerous.

This incident nearly drove Norman Osborn mad. After spending so much time and money to survive, his research was stolen.

Since then, Norman Osborn became more irritable and stricter with his scientists, but this only hindered further progress.

Growing desperate as his and Harry's time ran out, Norman Osborn considered having Harry leave a descendant, unsure if it was the right decision.

During this time, Norman Osborn discovered Spider-Man's existence. This made him suspicious because his near-successful formula involved a mutated spider.

The idea was to create a super-soldier-like serum and use a special mutated spider to transfer the ability to the bitten person, altering their genes.

The plan was almost ready for clinical trials, but all related materials were stolen. Spider-Man's appearance made Norman Osborn suspicious.

"Someone! Investigate Spider-Man's background!" Norman Osborn's eyes flashed coldly as he ordered his subordinates.

He wanted to find out if Spider-Man's abilities were connected to the stolen research and planned to capture Spider-Man to see if the abilities matched.

Norman Osborn thought that a high-profile figure like Spider-Man in New York would leave many traces. Surely, officials wouldn't ignore such an obvious super-powered individual.

But Norman Osborn underestimated Spider-Man. Unlike other universes where Spider-Man often clashed with police, this Spider-Man, who grew under Iron Man's protection, was more mature.

Peter Parker didn't disrupt police operations for fame, gaining police support by saving many officers.

With JARVIS handling the aftermath, Peter Parker had no worries, and no surveillance traces were left behind.

After a thorough investigation, Norman Osborn was astonished to find no trace of Spider-Man unless Spider-Man coincidentally appeared before him.

"My time is running out. I can feel my life nearing its end!" Norman Osborn's face darkened after the investigation, silently vowing, "My death is unimportant, but Harry must live healthily. If Spider-Man's blood is what I think it is, it can help Harry recover. I must protect Harry and make this happen!"

With this resolve, Norman Osborn marched to the lab and, despite the scientists' protests, injected himself with the serum they had been working on, which still had its side effects.

Norman Osborn didn't believe he would die. He thought he could return even from hell to fulfill his goal of saving Harry.

This obsession allowed Norman Osborn to remain calm around Harry, hoping to turn him into a healthy person.

In the end, Norman Osborn succeeded, but not completely. After injecting the serum, he felt a surge of power, a strength he never imagined possible.

However, along with the power came a surge of malice, amplified by the serum, causing Norman Osborn to lose his sanity.

"Success?" A bewildered scientist watched Norman Osborn, who suddenly looked at him with a beast-like gaze. The scientist instinctively tried to flee but was too late.

"Bang!" The scientist's body was flung into the wall, lifeless, as Norman Osborn vanished.
