Chapter 185 The Spider Alliance's crushing defeat and the heir family's return to its form
They are... a family of heirs!
The Spider-Men lying dead on the ground were some of the Spider-Men from the Spider-League that Spider-Man 2099 had previously rallied with great force!
After casually draining the last powerful Spider-Man with six mutated arms from his grasp, Morren tossed the corpse onto the ground like trash, his face filled with ecstasy.
"What a long-awaited feast! Originally, we needed to painstakingly search for these spiders in each universe to absorb their totem power and restore ourselves, but we never expected that these foolish Spider-Men would dare to come to our door as a group, greatly shortening our power recovery process!"
Clearly, Spider-Man 2099 overestimated his Spider-Alliance and underestimated the strength of the Heirs, leading to the current situation.
Meanwhile, Bora, who had failed to hunt down Gwen earlier, was also present. She licked the blood of a certain Spider-Man from her fingers with a satisfied expression and chuckled:
"That's right, what a bunch of complete idiots! They thought they could hunt down our heir family just because they outnumbered us, but instead they became a free meal delivered to their doorstep! Hahahaha!"
The towering Demos, arms crossed, said with some displeasure, "Hmph! It's a pity we didn't stop all these Spider-Men who dared to attack us; the leader got away with some of them!"
With an elegant demeanor, Jennie smiled slightly: "After all, we hadn't recovered to our current peak strength back then, and there were so many of them. Even a bunch of pigs would take us a while to kill, let alone a bunch of spiders~"
Of the only two women present, the composed Reina didn't dwell on the Spider Alliance matter. Instead, she looked at Demos and asked, "By the way, Jennie, how's Brix?"
The elegant successor named Jennie shook her head slightly: "Bricks' new body has been cloned, but his soul suffered severe mental trauma upon his return, and it will probably take some time to recover!"
Upon hearing this, Morlen frowned and cursed, "This piece of trash actually messed up in a world of ordinary Spider-Man! He's a disgrace to our Heirs family!!"
Faced with Morren's anger, the rest of the Heir family fell silent.
Indeed, at this crucial moment concerning the fate of the entire heir family, Brix made a careless mistake. Even if Brix recovers his mental state later, Moron probably won't let him off easy!
In the midst of this unusually silent atmosphere caused by Morlen's anger, a spatial rift suddenly opened in the Spider-Man slaughterhouse, where corpses littered the ground, and Kahn, wielding a red trident, slowly walked out of the rift!
When the other heirs saw Kahn appear, they immediately had an idea: to transfer Morlen's anger onto this "traitor"!
That's how they've always done it!
It was the sharp-tongued Bora who started the argument, mocking the returning Kahn: "Oh, our family's great philanthropist is back. How about it? I bet you didn't deal with that prophetic spider again because of your kind heart, didn't you?"
"Just like...it used to be!"
Bora started the attack, and the other members naturally followed suit immediately. All sorts of sarcastic remarks came out of their mouths like sharp arrows piercing Kahn, showing that they did not treat Kahn as a member of their family at all.
And there are reasons why they dislike Kahn so much.
Because Kahn was an outcast in their family of heirs from the very beginning!
Their heirs, being the lowest of all animal totems, initially possessed very weak power upon birth, placing them at the very bottom of all animal totems!
But there's always a way out; the universe is fair. Although they were initially weak at birth, they possessed a special talent that other totem users didn't have...
That is... absorption!
They can absorb the power of other animal totem users for their own use!
Born weak yet possessing such extraordinary abilities, the inheritor's family, if it wants to survive and transform its inherently weak self into a powerful one, has only one choice...
That means someone with the ability to hunt other animal totems!
This also made them notorious totem predators in the multiverse in the previous cycle of reincarnation!
However, the Heirs' family is almost entirely composed of villains, so they don't care about this infamy, except for... Kahn, an outlier in the Heirs' family.
Unlike the other heirs who were born with cruel and bloodthirsty personalities, Kahn was so kind that he was completely out of place with everyone in the heir family.
Kahn disliked killing from a young age and abhorred his family's practice of hunting others for food.
It was precisely because of this that in the previous cycle of the Heirs, after learning from an elder's prophecy that Spider-Man would destroy the entire Heirs family in the future, they decided to strike first and erase the Spider-Man totem directly from the multiverse!
Therefore, the inheritor family went through great hardships to find the original universe where the Spider God Weaver was located!
Led by their patriarch Soros, they collectively hunted down the Weaver Master located on the web of fate in the primordial universe!
However, during the hunt, Kahn's hesitation led to their mother, Soros's wife, being killed by the Weaver.
Although the master weaver was eventually captured by the heirs, Kahn's father, Soros, began to hate Kahn because of his mother's death.
She didn't even want to see his face again, and considered Kahn a disgrace to the heir family, so she completely covered his head with a hood.
Later, Kang the Conqueror established TVA and launched a purge against this family that constantly traveled between different timelines and disrupted them!
Having just fought a great battle with the master weaver, the heir family, not at their peak, was no match for Kang and was relentlessly pursued and killed by him!
Finally, the father was defeated and sealed away by the previous Lord of Time, Kang the Conqueror. The other members of the heir family also had to fall into a collective slumber to escape Kang the Conqueror's pursuit!
The other survivors of the Heirs' family clearly blamed Kahn for their family's crushing defeat.
If it weren't for Kahn's hesitation, their mother wouldn't have died, and with her help, their father, Soros, might not have been sealed away by Kang!
Therefore, after his awakening, Kahn picked up his trident to atone for his past "mistakes" and embarked on a journey to redeem himself by hunting down Spider-Man for his family...
This had nothing to do with Kahn's own will; he did it simply to atone for his sins...
(P.S.: Because the cinematic universe and the comic book universe have very different settings, the story of The Heirs has also been adapted to some extent and will not be exactly the same as the comics.......)
Let's go back to the present...
Kahn listened to his brothers and sisters' concentrated criticism and blame, but did not refute them; he simply endured it silently.
Meanwhile, Molen remained in a state of watching the show without joining in or stopping it, until Kahn was almost drowning in the spittle of the others, at which point he feigned concern and raised his hand to intervene:
"Alright, stop arguing. Kahn may have made mistakes in the past, but remember, we're a family, and arguing won't solve anything!"
