Just after Barbara left.
Skye called out, "Li, it's shining!"
She was playing with the talisman when the snake pattern on it suddenly lit up———!
Hueng!!!
An invisible force rapidly spread outward from the Ghost Spider Club as its center!
Everywhere the power of the snake talisman passed seemed to vanish…
To be precise, it had become invisible.
....
"Here, Peter."
Ned handed Peter a steaming hot sausage pizza. "This is fresh out of the oven."
"I can't wait to taste it..."
Peter's forked lizard tongue flicked out to lick it, and he opened his mouth to take a bite———
Hueng!!!
"Wow! This tastes amazing!"
"Ah!! Look properly! You bit my hand!"
"I can't see anything! Ned, you've disappeared! Where are you?"
"In your mouth!!"
....
"Wow! Li, where did all the buildings go?"
Skye panicked, and as she was about to move, she tripped and fell. "Ouch!"
Li Ye quickly caught her in his arms. "It's not just the buildings that disappeared."
"Huh?"
The black-haired girl looked down and was shocked. "I… I… I disappeared too!?"
"Don't be afraid. This is invisibility..."
Li Ye sensed the power of the enhanced snake talisman. It had already covered the entire surface of New York and was still expanding outward.
If left unchecked, it wouldn't be long before it covered the entire world…
Of course, he wouldn't just leave it alone.
Invisibility might not sound too dangerous at first.
But think about it—if someone were driving a massive truck and everything around them suddenly "disappeared"…
…That would definitely lead to a car crash.
"Alright."
Li Ye retrieved the snake talisman from Skye's hand.
Everything around them returned to normal.
However…
Even in that brief moment, quite a few people in New York had already died.
"This isn't good!"
Skye suddenly realized something and rushed to the window.
Lifting the curtain, she saw a pile-up of cars outside and heard continuous screams of agony.
The girl looked at the scene in disbelief. How did this happen… Was this all my fault?
"Don't panic, don't panic."
Li Ye remained calm. He wouldn't have given Skye such a dangerous talisman to study if he didn't have a backup plan.
Although things got a little out of hand, it was still within control.
A violent red glow shone from the Reality Stone on his bracelet———
The red light covered all affected areas.
Then, he activated the power of the Horse Talisman.
In the end, everything and everyone was restored to their original state.
But that wasn't the end.
.
A golden flash from the Mind Stone erased all related memories from those affected.
"…What… What just happened?"
Skye's memory remained intact, and she couldn't comprehend what had just occurred. "Was that all an illusion?"
"It was me, Skye."
Li Ye admitted frankly.
"This… This is also magic?"
The girl was utterly shocked. "This is practically… godly power!"
"God? Not quite..."
To Li Ye, a true god would be on the level of Eternity, Death, Oblivion, or Infinity—beings that embodied cosmic laws.
"Good thing the snake talisman didn't go berserk with teleportation abilities. Otherwise… New York might have ended up in the Earth's core."
Li Ye took Skye's small hand. "Let me teach you how to use it… Control it with your mind..."
In an instant, they stood atop the Statue of Liberty.
And in the next moment, they were atop the Eiffel Tower, enjoying the view.
Passing by Antarctica, Li Ye even scooped up a penguin, making it squawk in protest———
