Chapter 564
Chapter 564 - 564
At that moment, a young but firm voice rang out.
"Kingpin? What are you doing here?"
A red figure swung down from the sky, landing lightly on the ground.
It was none other than Spider-Man—Peter Parker.
And the towering man he was watching warily was indeed the infamous Kingpin—America's most powerful crime lord, known to be a formidable enemy to Daredevil, the Punisher, Spider-Man, and many other heroes.
At the same time, Agent Coulson and the others had drawn their weapons, keeping a sharp eye on this criminal overlord.
As SHIELD agents raised their guns, Kingpin's men exited their cars and did the same.
A tense standoff began.
Kingpin glanced at Spider-Man and then at Coulson and growled, "Spider-Man. You lot. I'm not here for you. Don't get in my way."
Then, he lifted his bald head and looked directly at the glowing figure above Stark Tower—the White-Clad Hero.
At the same moment, sensing the gaze, Syd slowly opened his eyes. His cold voice echoed through the area:
"You're here for me?"
His tone was ethereal, like the voice of cosmic truth, reverberating over Stark Tower and making everyone who heard it feel a sudden chill—an eerie, almost divine clarity.
But Kingpin, despite being the infamous boss of organized crime, didn't show any anger under that cold, condescending gaze from above.
Instead, his eyes burned with passion.
He understood very well that, in the eyes of someone like the White-Clad Hero, a man like him meant nothing. He was a speck, an ant.
Even back when the White-Clad Hero had only been a Super Omega Mutant, Kingpin had known better than to provoke him—let alone now, when he was a Creator God.
So being acknowledged, even looked at, was already something that thrilled him.
The White-Clad Hero actually noticed me? Even spoke to me?
Kingpin's heart ignited with hope and longing.
"White-Clad Hero!" Kingpin called out in a booming voice. "I have a request!"
Spider-Man, Coulson, the crowd, and even the Avengers Four hiding nearby were all stunned.
What does Kingpin want?
As they wondered, Syd already had a guess.
As one of America's most infamous villains, Kingpin didn't seem to have any great regrets. But there were two things that once truly mattered to him—his wife and his son, both long dead.
In the next moment, Syd didn't bother using telepathy to probe. He simply asked calmly, "You want me to bring your wife and son back to life?"
Spider-Man and the others looked on in shock.
So that's why Kingpin is here?
Kingpin himself was stunned. "How... how did you know?"
Spider-Man and the others looked on with newfound awe and fear.
He really does know everything...
He's terrifying.
It was like standing before a god—there were no secrets.
Syd ignored their reactions, simply raising an eyebrow without confirming or denying anything.
Bringing people back to life? For him, that wasn't even difficult anymore.
Back in the day, it might've been a forbidden act.
But now? It wasn't a problem.
As one of the Six Creator Gods, he had many ways to revive the dead.
One option was doing what Eternity had done in Thor: Love and Thunder—rebirthing someone through its essence. But Syd wasn't clear on the specifics of how Eternity had pulled it off. If the girl who was resurrected gained divine power, it likely meant she had been reborn through Eternity itself.
If that was the case, Syd wasn't interested in that method.
A better option? Just go find Death—one of the other Creator Gods.
For a being like her, bringing someone back from the dead would be trivial.
Then there were other methods too.
The Time Stone combined with Chaos Magic—or even just Chaos Magic alone—would be enough to do it.
And let's not forget about his Creation ability.
As a divine creative force—God's own power to create—it could reverse life and death with ease.
As long as a soul still existed, crafting a new body would be simple.
In that sense, life and death weren't boundaries for Creation.
And if you didn't care whether the resurrected was truly the same person, he could even create a clone with the same soul and consciousness.
Whether that was the same individual, however... that was up for debate.
Of course, using such brute-force resurrection methods might attract the attention of Death.
As these thoughts circled in Syd's mind, Spider-Man frowned below and said, "Kingpin, you're out of your mind. No one can bring the dead back to life."
He wasn't alone in thinking that. Countless people around the scene—and even far off, like Tony and the rest—had similar doubts.
In a dark alley nearby...
"Thor," Nebula asked, "can the dead be brought back to life?"
Everyone immediately looked at Thor. As the Prince of Asgard, he was the only one here who might have an answer.
Thor shook his head. "No. No one can truly come back from the dead."
"Death is irreversible."
"Even the Time Stone can't change that."
"Messing with the Time Stone recklessly can cause paradoxes and chaos."
"If the person only just died, you might be able to reverse time without affecting too much..."
He paused, then frowned. "But I imagine Kingpin's wife and child have been dead for a long time?"
"If they were truly revived... the consequences would be massive."
As for those lost to Thanos's snap, they weren't truly dead. Their lives hadn't ended—they were just gone temporarily, in a sort of suspended state.
Thinking of that, Thor's expression dimmed. His thoughts turned to Loki, his parents, and the many fallen Asgardians.
Hearing his explanation, Tony and the others finally understood.
So... death really was final.
For a moment, mixed emotions swirled in their hearts. Their gazes turned toward Kingpin, full of sympathy.
Some of them knew Kingpin's story.
What will he do once he learns the truth?
Just as they were wondering—
Back at the scene—
Syd finished his thoughts and looked down at Kingpin again.
And then, in a completely unexpected move...
He spoke.
