#52 - Chapter 52

"I not only failed to teach you well but also corrupted you." Yang Le raised his left hand, looking at the Omnitrix on his wrist.

"After becoming the true master of the Omnitrix, I became arrogant. I started dealing with things with a playful attitude."

Speaking of this, Yang Le felt ashamed. He had countless examples before his eyes, yet he was still indulging in power, blinded. Indeed, the saying that people never learn from their mistakes is true.

It seems Azmuth was right; he still has a long way to go before mastering such great power.

"Happy..." Gwen looked at Yang Le worriedly, afraid that he would get stuck in a rut because of this. She wanted to comfort him but didn't know how.

"I'm okay, Gwen. I just figured some things out." Yang Le raised his head again, the confusion gone from his eyes.

"I'm such a blockhead. The Omnitrix was picked up by me. That big weirdo might be so angry if he knew."

"Uh? Can you tell me what you figured out?" Gwen raised her right hand like a student. "I want to see if I can get any inspiration from you, after all, I'm not doing so well right now either."

"It's nothing. I just figured out my position. From beginning to end, the amazing thing is the Omnitrix, not me. The Omnitrix is still the most powerful device in the universe without me, but I'm nothing without the Omnitrix."

After Yang Le said this, he felt a sense of relief. Admitting the real self in front of the people you care about really takes courage. To be honest, he didn't even think he dared to say it.

"Don't worry, Gwen. I'm not being self-deprecating. I'm just recognizing myself." Yang Le quickly explained, afraid Gwen would worry.

"I know." Gwen's hand touched Yang Le's face. "But, Happy, maybe you haven't noticed, but you've actually done things that many people can't."

"Me?" Yang Le held the hand touching his face, looking at Gwen expectantly.

"That's right." Gwen's watery eyes were full of tenderness. "You saved me and Peter. Before I met you, Peter and I were like two planes without landing gear, possibly running out of fuel and crashing at any moment."

"Peter has always been bullied. It's like he's been haunted by something dirty. Since the day I met him, I've found countless troubles coming to him, and I've been helping him solve them, but to be honest, I'm a bit overwhelmed. After all, my life is also a mess."

Gwen smiled self-deprecatingly as she said this.

"One unlucky person helping another unlucky person, sounds ridiculous, right? Unlike Peter, Peter has trouble coming to him, but I'm creating trouble. I always feel that my forte is not drumming, but making everything a mess."

Gwen gently pinched Yang Le's face and said softly.

"Until you appeared, you saved me and Peter, and changed us."

"I didn't know I had such great charm." Yang Le's face turned a little red from Gwen's gaze. To ease the embarrassment, he joked.

Gwen shook her head gently and said, "You don't understand. In your opinion, it may just be driving away some small gangsters, but for us, it's not just that."

"First of all, Peter, I actually only found out recently that my protection can only bring Peter self-abasement and more bullying. Those bastards always say that Peter is a softie hiding behind a girl."

"I think if you post those people's words online, the dangerous ones might be those bastards." Yang Le said seriously.

Feeling the strength of Gwen's fingers pinching his face getting stronger and stronger, Yang Le quickly begged for mercy.

"I was wrong, I won't interrupt and say irrelevant things anymore."

"Hmph!" Gwen glared at Yang Le reproachfully, calmed down, and continued.

"As I said before, you discovered Peter's true thoughts. You taught him how to resist, allowing Peter to defeat Thompson on his own. Peter won everyone's respect on his own, that's what Peter really wanted."

"And I only knew how to protect him, but I didn't see his true thoughts at all. Our identities are completely reversed, as if you are Peter's longtime friend."

'Uh, if you've watched Spider-Man for more than ten years, you'll understand him so well.' Yang Le complained in his heart.

"Sure enough, I'm only good at making things a mess. If things continue to develop, I can't even imagine what will happen."

Yang Le's expression was solemn. According to the original development, Peter's heart would be distorted under long-term bullying, turning into the Lizard and finally dying in Gwen's arms after she became Spider-Woman. This is what he knew.

Thinking of this, Yang Le interrupted, "Gwen, I have something to tell you."

Then, Yang Le told Gwen about Peter, listening to Gwen in great shock, even forgetting her self-pity, and withdrawing from the melancholy state.

"Peter was artificially turned into a monster!?" Gwen exclaimed in anger.

"Who exactly is it? Why would he do this?"

The latest novel is first published at Liu 9 Shu Ba!

"I don't know about this yet." Yang Le shook his head.

"But I have a way to solve the mystery."

"What way?" Gwen asked quickly.

"Clock King." Yang Le slowly uttered a name.

"That's right, the alien hero I used to save you just now, he has the power to control time. He can reproduce what happened in a certain place in the past like a movie."

"In other words, as long as the crime scene is known, any criminal will have nowhere to hide in front of Clock King, of course, unless he covers his face, then I didn't say anything."

"With him, all the police and detectives in the world will be unemployed, right? Are there really such creatures in the world? Who can control time at will." Gwen thought of her old dad, if he had this ability, George would be very happy.

"Could it be done by someone from the Hand?" Gwen guessed, although she had the correct answer, she still wanted to reason, probably because of the influence of her police dad.

"It's possible, I feel that the other party's purpose is very strong, after all, a nerd like Peter doesn't seem like the best test subject." Yang Le also enjoyed discussing with Gwen, it's better to bring her out of the melancholy state.

Maybe because he was also in a melancholy state just now, he always felt like he was looking in a mirror when he looked at Gwen just now, which was a bit embarrassing, so it's better to quickly change the subject.

If he could be as firm as General Duanmu, walking firmly towards a goal, it's really easier said than done.
