Chapter 177 - The Demon That Devours Life

"Richard, do you think Penny isn't in enough danger right now?" Aunt Mei said, almost roaring.

Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei in this Universe had no children, and they treated Penny completely as their own child, sometimes even more anxious than Richard, her biological father.

Uncle Ben's face also darkened. "Richard, are you going to argue with me again?"

"If Penny leaves, what will happen to Third New York City? The Twin Demons from the prophecy are about to appear. Are you going to watch New York be destroyed by the demons?"

Richard appeared as a holographic projection in the command center. His head was slightly bowed, his elbows rested on the desk, and his crossed hands covered most of his face, like a profound sage.

You'll have a filial daughter and a loving father sooner or later… Eller secretly complained in his heart when he saw Richard Parker's extremely familiar demeanor.

Eller shook his head. Aunt Mei noticed Eller's reaction and immediately said:

"He is Penny's father, Richard. If…"

"It's alright, I can understand how you feel." Eller waved his hand, signaling Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei not to worry, and then said to Richard Parker:

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Richard Parker, Chairman of Osborn Group."

"It's a pleasure to meet you too, friend from another World."

Richard's voice was like a machine, making it impossible to discern his emotions. He still maintained the posture of covering his face with crossed hands and emphasized again:

"I won't let Penny go with you. She is the only hope for Third New York City."

After unearthing the prophecy book, Richard, Uncle Ben, and Norman together established this prevention organization, with Mary Parker serving as the first spider-mech pilot.

The appearance of the spider-mech reduced the pressure on Third New York City, and with the army's investment, the Mecha became even more powerful, capable of dealing with subsequent enemies.

Rhino was the fifth demon. The prophecy book mentioned a total of sixteen demons and listed the possible days of attack.

Coupled with the accuracy of the previous prophecies, this made Richard Parker value Penny even more.

Twin Demons? Judging from the previous second demon, Lizard, and fifth demon, Rhino, these so-called demons are various Spider-Man villain multiverse variants.

Eller didn't recall many twin enemies Spider-Man had faced, and he happened to be preparing to deal with a pair.

There was also a pair of twins in the Inheritors Family, the male named Brix and the female named Bora.

Thinking of this, Eller asked Richard:

"Can you tell me a little more about the Twin Demons? If possible, I can help you deal with them. If it's really them, Penny won't even have a chance to fight back."

"Why do you want to help us?" Richard asked, "You are clearly not from this Universe…"

"Why do you care so much?" Eller suddenly interrupted Richard, rolled his eyes, and continued:

"Anyway, now there's someone who can help you solve the danger and save your daughter. Just tell me if you want my help!"

"The prophecy didn't mention that someone wearing a fox mask would defeat the Twin Demons." Richard's voice returned to that calm, mechanical tone. "The Twin Demons mentioned in the prophecy are similar to humans. They will emerge from a golden light and will sacrifice half the city's life after killing the Spider Guardian."

Richard was referring to Brix and Bora of the Inheritors Family. They were twins, and their method of crossing over also matched the prophecy Richard mentioned.

Eller nodded, confirming, "The Twin Demons you mentioned are the enemies I need to deal with."

Eller was not afraid of this pair of twins. He had even killed Morlun, the eldest son of the Inheritors Family, once, let alone this pair of twins who were far inferior to Morlun?

But at this moment, Uncle Ben showed dissatisfaction with Richard and began to vent his anger in front of Eller.

"Richard, you concealed the prophecy again!" Uncle Ben was very displeased with Richard's concealment and directly pointed at his own brother, cursing:

"You will only kill Penny! Kill the only child of the Parker family!"

"Do you think I don't wish the prophecy was false?" Richard's voice finally showed a hint of emotion:

"Prophecies cannot be fully trusted. There was a mistake when dealing with the third demon, which is why Mary left us, Benjamin. I no longer know what to believe."

Do all people named Richard go crazy? Eller was a bit speechless about Richard.

"Richard, you are the biggest gambler in this World."

Eller slightly put aside his prejudice against Richard. Regardless, Richard still had some affection for Penny. He snapped his fingers, drawing the attention of the Parker brothers.

"If your rationality, which is unwilling to believe that outsiders would kindly help you, wants to stop me, then let's be more worldly and make a deal, how about it?"

"How do you want to make a deal?" Richard asked.

Eller suggested, "Can't you build Mechas? Give me one, and Penny and I will work together to defeat the Twin Demons."

Eller mainly wanted to help Penny and guide her emotions, otherwise, even if he helped her escape the Inheritors Family, she would die in later battles.

The Mecha was purely an extra. If it was interesting, he would pilot it a few times. If not, it would be a collectible and a big toy. It would also be good if it could be used as material to strengthen the buckle.

"I accept your proposal. I will provide you with Zero Mecha."

Richard was a difficult person. He was suspicious of sudden kindness, but if that person was more self-interested, he would be more likely to accept them.

Moreover, Richard Parker could also take advantage of this opportunity to throw that annoying thing into another Universe, so he would not miss this opportunity even more.

In short, neither Eller nor Richard lost out.

But after Richard said the name Zero Mecha, the mechanic Aunt Mei showed a look of opposition on her face and immediately questioned:

"Zero? Have you forgotten how that thing took Norman's life?"

With his deceased friend mentioned, Richard was momentarily unable to answer. He turned to Eller and said:

"As long as this guest can withstand that life-devouring demon, the Zero Mecha is his."

A life-devouring Mecha? Upon hearing this term, Eller's eyes lit up. He had no qualms about the danger of this thing, because for him, danger meant power.

Eller immediately signaled the mechanic Aunt Mei not to worry. "It's alright, Ms. Mei. Don't you test synchronization rates? If it's not suitable, just give me a less dangerous one. I don't have to pilot it. You can just give it to me as compensation."

"Alright, I'll take you to see the Zero Mecha." The mechanic Aunt Mei said helplessly. She felt that this kind person from another World might be even more stubborn than Richard.

Finally, the mechanic Aunt Mei led Eller to a long-sealed warehouse. She turned on the searchlight, illuminating the Mecha with purple and green paint.

"This is the Zero Mecha. Our good friend Norman Osborn used to call it the Green Goblin Mecha."
