Chapter 473 - Chapter 473: The Illuminati, the girl being chased by the giant-eyed octopus monster?

"One year ago, I woke up in this strange World, and rather fortunately, I was taken in by a kind farm couple named Kent."

"My memories seemed to have undergone a form of self-sealing brain protection mechanism, making it impossible for me to recall anything about before I woke up."

"In the first week, I learned all the basic knowledge of this World, and by the first month, I had already mastered all the advanced knowledge of this World."

"By the second month, I began to feel bored, because there was no longer any knowledge in this World worth learning to pass my boring time."

"And most importantly, clearly I hadn't been exercising, yet my body was growing stronger every day at an incredible rate."

"For instance, today's me could completely beat up yesterday's me, and in a completely crushing posture!"

"Moreover, I could wield this skyrocketing power as smoothly as my own arm, without any loss of control happening at all!"

"It was as if I weren't growing stronger, but rather... recovering the power I should have had in the first place!"

"The Kent couple who took me in quickly discovered the abnormal strength I displayed; after all, I didn't hide it either. Once, I directly carried old Kent and his tractor, which broke down halfway through farming, all the way back to the farm with my bare hands~"

"Yet the Kent couple weren't panicked by this at all; instead, they began teaching me how to correctly use this gradually strengthening power of mine."

"They showed me the news—news about the superhero organizations of this World, an organization named the 'Illuminati'. They felt I should join this organization and learn from them how to correctly use my superpowers."

"However, I wasn't interested in this. Although I didn't remember any Illuminati, deep down I had a natural contempt and disdain for it, so I didn't join the Illuminati."

"Still, in the end I used my power to do the 'right' thing. Just like the kind Kent couple said, I became a superhero to fight criminals and became New York's friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!"

"Um, it's probably considered 'friendly'~"

"Because my steps for fighting criminals might be a bit more numerous than other superheroes. For example, after defeating a super criminal, I would also take all his money as loot!"

"To avoid arousing the suspicion of the couple who took me in regarding the origin of this money, I used some methods to become a Professor of biogenetics at Empire State University in New York, using the salary as an excuse to repay this kind old couple with this money."

"And that bright, sunny blonde girl just now was one of my students, Gwen Stacy!"

"She most likely knew my identity, I also knew she knew my identity, and she knew I knew she knew my identity. So later on, whenever I needed to 'disappear' for a period of time during class hours, I would ask her to substitute for me."

"For some reason, I trusted her. I trusted her from the very first glance, as if I had known her for a very long time..."

"Alright, look at me starting up with my chatterbox habit of adding inner monologues to myself again. Now let's quickly see who the unlucky fellow I robbed today... cough cough, I mean, who is executing justice today!"

Whoosh————

A two-meter silver-gray figure landed on the roof of a building. Under the sunlight, it displayed muscle striations that weren't bloated in the least, but instead brimming with aesthetic beauty!

Ryan looked at the 'bustling' street below and quickly locked onto the guy making trouble today.

Immediately, Ryan was stunned.

Because this time the troublemaker wasn't human at all, but a Big-Eyed Octopus Monster!

"Oh, it looks like this trip today won't earn any dollars, a total blood loss!"

Ryan slapped a hand against his face, and his mood instantly plummeted.

He had skipped a class to come here, after all!

He originally thought he could make some extra cash off this criminal, but it turned out to be an alien creature!

And it was a 'naked' octopus monster that looked completely broke!

"Help!"

However, despite saying that, upon hearing the cries for help from below, Ryan still didn't just sit by and do nothing.

After all, since he had already come, right?

Just as that Big-Eyed Octopus Monster on the street was hurling a bus toward a girl in a blue jacket, Ryan descended from the heavens to land ahead of time in front of the girl, easily catching the thrown bus with just one hand.

Ryan even had the leisure to chat with the old man wearing sunglasses in the driver's seat of the bus: "Hey, old pal, you look a lot like someone~"

Faced with the scene of being thrown by a monster and then caught by Ryan, the old man in the driver's seat wasn't flustered in the slightest, laughing: "If I don't look like a person, could I look like a ghost?"

Ryan raised an eyebrow, genuinely not expecting this old gentleman to be so calm and still have the mood to banter with him.

The people he had rescued before were all scared shitless, unable to even speak a clear sentence.

"No no no, I mean, it seems like I've seen you somewhere before. Do you know me?" Ryan looked deeply at the old driver who gave him an extremely familiar feeling.

The old gentleman smiled slightly: "Of course I know you, our New York's friendly neighborhood Monarch Spider-Man!"

Hearing this, Ryan was taken aback: "Spider-Man is Spider-Man, what's with adding the prefix 'Monarch' to me?"

"As for that, I believe you'll know very soon. The gears have already begun to turn..." The old gentleman smiled mysteriously, maintaining the riddle-maker setting customary in U.S. comics.

Wait, U.S. comics? Riddle-maker? What is this again?

It seemed like a lot of extra things had popped into my brain again!

Just as Ryan was dazed because of this, a massive force suddenly struck from his waist.

Bang——————Boom!!!

The Big-Eyed Octopus Monster didn't know when it had already approached, and with a tentacle whip, it struck Ryan's waist, sending him crashing directly into a building!

However, the Big-Eyed Octopus Monster did not choose to pursue Ryan, nor did it attack the bus that had fallen to the ground because Ryan was knocked away.

Instead, its big eyes looked around in all directions, as if it were searching for something.

If one looked closely, they would find that the girl Ryan had saved earlier was actually right under the Big-Eyed Octopus Monster at this moment, hiding in its blind spot!

But an octopus was a creature with extremely strong tentacular senses, let alone that this didn't look like an ordinary octopus at all.

Therefore, before the girl could hide for even two seconds, the big octopus discovered her beneath it, turned its big eyeball a full 180 degrees, and looked at the girl below!

"Ahhhhh! Help!"

This frightened the girl into fleeing in panic once more!

The Big-Eyed Octopus Monster naturally wouldn't let this prey go and immediately wanted to give chase.

But just as it wanted to move, it felt an extremely strong pulling force coming from behind, making it completely unable to move an inch!

Its big eyes turned back to look, only to see that from the gap of the building Ryan had crashed into earlier, a line of white Silk shot out and was sticking right onto it!
