Chapter 312 The Mythical Beast Protection Act, a Multi-faceted Plan!
Toby gently stroked the white fox beside him, its nine tails draped over him, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Is it because of my spider genes, which belong to the same Beast type?
Ying Nan walked up to Toby, looked at Toby surrounded by strange beasts, and smiled:
"The mythical beasts will choose to follow a king they can trust. Last time, they chose to follow a dragon, but now it seems they have found a 'king' even more worthy of their attention..."
"And this also means that our choice was not wrong, and you are indeed worthy of our trust."
Toby neither confirmed nor denied this.
After all, he truly harbored no ill will towards Taro Village and these strange beasts.
So it seems quite normal for them to choose to cling to powerful figures.
Compared to humans, Toby was much gentler towards these simple-minded "little guys".
He looked at them, his tone softening: "Little ones, since you've chosen to follow me, I promise to give you a wider and freer world of diversity. You may very well be the first bridge connecting this 'diverse' world..."
Seeing Toby being much gentler with these magical creatures than with them, the four members of S.H.I.E.L.D. were speechless, but they couldn't help but exchange glances, their faces showing a hint of relaxation and smiles.
After all, how bad can someone who likes small animals be?
Six months later........
Six months ago, several major events occurred on Earth.
First, there was the Skrull incident, which affected the entire world, and then there was the "War of the Two Gods," which affected several countries and even led to the fall of one country!
This was followed by a zombie crisis that was resolved by the Spider Family and the Avengers from another universe before the disaster occurred.
In that zombie crisis, Wakanda lost 90% of its citizens due to the fall of its capital!
Therefore, after the incident, the new King T'Challa of Wakanda announced that the capital, the Golden City, would be officially renamed Night City in memory of the deceased King T'Chaka and the people!
Furthermore, because 90% of Wakanda's people had died, the new King T'Challa felt that Wakanda would no longer be able to protect the vibranium in Wakanda on its own. Therefore, he decided to donate half of the vibranium to the Spider League free of charge to show his gratitude to the Spiders for saving the remaining people of Wakanda!
On behalf of the Spider League, Treant accepted T'Challa's voluntary gift and then announced that his Puck Industries would be cooperating with Night City on the next vibranium mining project!
That's right, Toby has dropped the act completely; he's laid his cards on the table!
I, the leader of the Spider Family, the world's number one superhero "The Spider," am actually Toby Parker, the head of Parker Industries!
Although the higher-ups on Earth already knew about this beforehand.
But the largest group of ordinary people doesn't know that!
Therefore, as soon as this news came out, it quickly swept across the entire internet, and also caused Parker Industries' market value to skyrocket!
Ultimately, it even surpassed Tony's Stark Industries to become the world's most valuable company!
This is the celebrity effect!
However, Toby didn't care about the appreciation of his company. After all, his company was no longer limited to one universe, and money was just a number to him.
What he cares about more now is the influence of Parker Industries, and the other valuable things that this influence can bring him besides money!
For example... power and trust!
Toby ignored the fact that his real name was constantly trending on social media and instead began to plan his other moves.
First, he put the former mayor of New York City, Wilson Fiske, also known as Kingpin, into the position of President of the United States.
After all, the president and vice president "unfortunately" died in the last battle between Tobey Maguire and Captain Marvel.
A country cannot be without a president for a single day, right?
So, as the protector of this country, it's reasonable for Toby to recommend a responsible new president, right?
He simply had Eddie do an exclusive interview with him, and then had the Daily Bugle publish the news that he was optimistic about Kingpin. Kingpin's approval rating immediately exceeded 90%!
All the other candidates combined make up less than 10%!
Therefore, Kim easily won the election as the new president!
This is the celebrity effect!
And his father Ben Parker's Daily Bugle, just like his Parker Industries, saw its influence skyrocket the day after he revealed his identity, and is now the most authoritative news agency in America!
However, the first reform policy that Kim took office and promulgated was something no one expected.
That is... the Wonderful Beasts Protection Act.
What is the Extraordinary Creatures Protection Act? It is something that, starting in New York, will cause strange creatures unlike any other creature on Earth to appear in the United States after the act is passed.
These strange creatures enjoy the same citizenship rights as humans in the United States. If you hunt or kill them, you won't even be sentenced; it's a death sentence!
That's right, the death penalty, which was abolished in most states of the United States, has been reinstated because of this fantastic beast protection law!
In response, people in America, a country full of idiots, will naturally protest.
So the day after the bill was passed, a huge bunch of idiots took to the streets in all fifty states to march, holding banners and chanting slogans like "Human life is life too, why should the damned murderer be more precious than their precious human life!"
In response, after taking office, Kim Jong-un immediately ordered anti-terrorism special police from various regions to go up and beat the protesters half to death with sticks!
Ultimately, all of these individuals were sentenced to 10-50 years in prison by the federal government and were ineligible for parole!
As for their final destination, they weren't provided with good food and lodging in the Federation's prisons, but were all thrown into Night City, Wakanda, to serve as free labor for mining vibranium!
Initially, some people did panic because of this extreme policy, thinking that the United States was about to undergo a major change.
The world's number one superhero has gone mad. He's stopped pretending and is now acting like God, trying to establish his dominance!
But after the Wonderful Beasts Act was passed and officially implemented, they found that this policy actually had no impact on ordinary people like them who weren't stupid!
Instead, it wasn't until those strange beasts actually appeared on the streets of New York that things changed.
The citizens of New York are actually the first to benefit!
Because these strange beasts are not terrifying ferocious beasts; on the contrary, they are truly wondrous beasts that can distinguish between good and evil!
They walk the streets of New York, and instead of attacking ordinary people, they protect them from harm by evildoers!
For example, you're walking down a narrow alleyway you always pass through, and suddenly a black man with a knife and a gun jumps out and robs you...
Just when you were in despair, a lion bigger than a car suddenly jumped out, swallowed the Night Walker whole, and licked you with its big tongue in a friendly manner to soothe your emotions!
For example, you're in a bar, and a malicious person sneakily adds some American herbal medicine to your drink when you're not looking or not...
Then you'll find a nine-tailed white fox with eerie green eyes blocking your way. Through its beautiful eyes, you see the whole process of how you were drugged, and the tragic life you'll lead after falling because of that drink. You suddenly wake up and eventually embark on a different, perfect life than after drinking that drink!
Even NYPD Commissioner Stacy held a press conference to announce the NYPD's collaboration with the magical creatures, thanking them for helping to solve numerous cold cases, arrest several superhuman criminals, and dismantle multiple crime dens in New York!
It was only then that the citizens of New York realized that this was not the ferocious beast that the protesters claimed disrespected their human rights, but rather a blessed omen from heaven!
No, it wasn't a gift from the sky, it was a blessing brought back to them by their hero, Toby Parker the Spider!
The residents of New York also felt guilty for misunderstanding their hero Toby, so they began to promote the benefits of the magical creatures online!
It even sparked a trend on TikTok of creating videos with fantastic creatures in New York!
This transformed the mythical beast from a fearsome and even repulsive ferocious creature into a beloved "star" that everyone longed to encounter in just one month!
Even other states in the United States, and even other countries, are calling for an explanation: why hasn't this bill been implemented in their states? Why don't their countries have a "Beasts Act"?
Toby simply stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor of the Parker Tower, watching all of this quietly.
"As I said, magical beasts will be the first step in realizing my multi-faceted plan, and now that the first step is firmly established, it's time to move on to the second step..."
