Chapter 6
Humanoid Ton King Riley
After the initial excitement of surviving a near-death experience and gaining superpowers subsided slightly, Riley was reminded by the intermittent pain in his body that he was still undergoing a process of genetic integration and mutation.
So, in order to understand just how much he had changed in such a short time after gaining Spider-Man's superpowers, Riley quickly summoned the system panel bound to him.

At a glance, his intelligence had not changed at all, which was within Riley's expectations.
The agility increase of only two times is reasonable. After all, no version of Spider-Man has ever mutated to the speed of the Flash.
However, even though Riley had prepared himself mentally, he couldn't help but widen his eyes at the Strength attribute section.
How many?
You mean Duo Shao?
7200 points of strength?!
In other words, if Riley were to go all out now, he could unleash a terrifying force of up to 72 tons!
If we do a rough calculation, even if we only consider weight and not other magical restrictions, Riley could lift ten and a half of Monkey King's golden cudgel by himself!
Moreover, Riley could vaguely sense that this wasn't his limit yet...
Once the body has fully adapted to this foreign gene, this already terrifying number still has room to increase!
The reason for this is that the outcome of the mutation depends on Riley's original physical condition.
For example, Peter Parker, who was originally small and weak, could exert a force of ten tons after becoming Spider-Man. Compared to the average person's strength of fifty kilograms, that's about two hundred times greater.
If you convert that to Riley's original 36 points of strength, it would jump to a terrifying 7200 points of strength in one go!
This made Riley, who had briefly thought about it and figured out the reason, feel a little regretful. Why didn't he put all the attribute points he had previously added to Agility into Strength?
Of course, this is just something I grumble and complain about in my head.
As the saying goes, greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.
Having spent so much time with Peter and gained some understanding of scientific laws, Riley could roughly guess that the reason why the pain he endured during the mutation process was significantly greater than Peter's was also due to this superhuman strength attribute.
If you're really after that 200x strength attribute bonus, and you put all your attribute points into strength...
Therefore, in order for Riley's body to withstand this terrifying power, the difficulty of the mutation it faces will definitely increase proportionally.
By then, let alone further increasing its strength, it won't even be able to go toe-to-toe with the 100-ton king...
Riley's body and mind probably couldn't withstand such a strong reaction and he would have died on the spot!
Fortunately, every cloud has a silver lining.
Having taken such a huge risk, the surprises that the mutation brought Riley went far beyond the massive increase in his strength attribute.
Perhaps it's because Riley's physical condition was strong enough to better accommodate spider genes.
After some experimentation, Riley discovered that he could not only generate webs like Maguire's Spider-Man, but also had Miles' bio-electric current.
Although it lacks the most overpowered stealth ability, the two additional abilities it comes with are enough to surprise Riley.
That's why, despite undergoing mutations, it took Riley quite a bit of time.
After a brief period of adaptation, Riley's enhanced reaction speed, thanks to the mutation, allowed him to quickly swing along the spider's web to reach the nearest department store after only a short practice session. Then, carrying a large amount of food, he arrived home before Peter and the others.
So much so that when everyone gathered at the table and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner, no one could detect the slightest abnormality in Riley's composed demeanor.
On the contrary, Peter, who was also in the mutation stage, did not have the same exaggerated physical strength as Riley. He could only alleviate the burden on his body by supplementing with a lot of nutrition. His behavior of burying his head in rice and eating nearly a third of the food really attracted everyone's attention.
But everyone just assumed it was because young people are growing and they were tired after a long day, so they didn't take it to heart at all.
And so, in what seemed like an ordinary, warm atmosphere, Riley and Peter's bodies quietly underwent a transformative change.
The next day, Riley went to bed early and slept soundly until he woke up naturally. He had just stretched when he couldn't wait to open his attribute panel.
Then, unsurprisingly, it was discovered that not only did the strength attribute further expand to 10800 points, which is 108 tons, enough to directly confront the terrifying power of the 100-ton king.
Even his agility increased proportionally, reaching 100 points. This allowed Riley to unleash an astonishing speed of 200 kilometers per hour for a short period when running at full speed!
Even Riley's size had noticeably increased due to the successful completion of the mutation.
When you take off your shirt, you can clearly see the powerful and beautiful muscle lines in the mirror!
"Bang--!"
However, before Riley could even feel excited, a loud noise coming from the next room immediately caught his attention.
When Riley finished dressing, carefully controlled his strength, and lightly opened the door, he quickly walked towards the sound.
Then they saw Peter, who was also much larger, standing dumbfounded on the pile of broken wood, gripping the twisted and deformed metal doorknob.
Clearly, Peter hadn't expected his body to undergo such a dramatic change in just one day, and he hadn't had time to control his strength. The terrifying force that unconsciously erupted when he habitually pulled the door completely shattered the poor wooden door!
Only when he saw Riley arrive did Peter, like a child who had made a mistake, hurriedly hide the broken doorknob behind his back while nervously greeting Riley.
"Uh...hey, good morning, Riley...um, would you believe me if I said I didn't mean it...?"
"Hey! Riley! Peter! What's that upstairs? You two brothers, are you fighting?"
Before Riley could respond, Ben, whose attention had also been drawn by the commotion, poked his head out from under the stairs and called out to those above.
