After Alaric handed the god's body over to Tony, he returned home. He believed Tony would make good use of it.
After all, in the comics, didn't Tony receive the corpse of a god and turn it into a mecha?
Therefore, although Tony originally didn't have superpowers and was just an ordinary man, his intelligence alone was enough to make him equal to many heroes with superpowers.
Just imagine, when Tony builds the Celestial Mecha, very few people on Earth will be able to defeat him.
New York, the Sanctum.
"You're back?! Is the god taken care of?"
Amora saw Alaric return and quickly approached him.
"Of course, just a newly awakened god."
"So the crisis is resolved? No more gods will be showing up again, right?!" Amora sighed with relief.
"Not yet, the newly awakened god has already sent out energy information and the Celestials' judgment team will come next." Although he didn't know when, Alaric guessed it wouldn't be long.
"Ah!?" Amora flinched in shock again. Why does it never end!?
"Don't worry, I'm confident I'll stop them, don't worry too much. Where's Clea?" Alaric reassured her.
"Clea went to practice magic."
"Oh, that's fine." Alaric nodded.
Although Clea was weakened by Earth's environment since coming to Earth, thanks to Alaric's World of Eternal Night dimension, she no longer lacked magical energy.
Moreover, Clea had good talent and studied seriously. As a result, Clea had basically mastered several of the main spells of Kamar-Taj and could also handle a few of the spells Alaric had learned.
That's why Clea's current power had nearly surpassed Kamar-Taj's sorcerers like Wong, Mordo, and the others.
Especially since Clea relied on the path of magical body refinement, which made her equivalent to a superhuman.
Even if she ran into Eternals like Ikaris, she wouldn't be at a disadvantage. It's clear that the strength of the Eternals wasn't all that special.
"I'm coming!!"
A figure suddenly flew in through the window. It was Gwen. These days Gwen almost never used the door, and her window was usually unlocked, very convenient.
"Busy these days? Haven't seen you here in a while," Amora asked while bringing a glass of water.
"Oh come on, another big villain popped up in New York making a mess everywhere. I've been chasing him for days," Gwen said angrily.
"Who?" Alaric asked curiously.
"A guy who calls himself the Green Goblin. He's got a flying machine so he can fly, and on top of that, he likes throwing bombs everywhere! I haven't managed to catch him several times! So annoying!"
Gwen got furious just mentioning the Green Goblin! Because that Green Goblin ruined her performance!!
When the Green Goblin first appeared and started wreaking havoc, Gwen was performing at a concert.
She and her friends Mary Jane, Betty Brant, and Glory Grant had formed a band, where Gwen was the drummer.
The result: the whole concert was suddenly interrupted because of the Green Goblin. Gwen transformed into Spider-Woman on the spot and confronted the Green Goblin, which even brought her father from the New York Police Department to the scene.
But unfortunately, the Green Goblin escaped her grasp thanks to his flying machine.
Over the next few days, Gwen kept an eye on the Green Goblin and tried to suppress his crimes.
Honestly, the Green Goblin also considered Spider-Woman his sworn enemy.
After all, Spider-Woman was such a pain! Every time he showed up, she'd show up too!
Because of that, the Green Goblin had tried multiple times to kill Spider-Woman, who kept interfering with him, but due to her spider-like powers, he was helpless.
Now the Green Goblin, or rather Norman Osborn, had begun searching for Spider-Woman's real identity.
"Green Goblin, huh," Alaric nodded knowingly.
"You know who he is?!" Gwen suddenly asked, hearing from his tone that Alaric clearly knew very well.
"I do. Want me to tell you?"
"Tell me!" Gwen nodded seriously.
Although Gwen didn't want to ask for Alaric's help, compared to letting innocent citizens be in danger, she decided to ask about the Green Goblin's real identity.
In any case, she had to catch him with her own hands! It's not that Gwen wanted to prove something to Alaric, but if she wanted to improve, she had to have the ability to handle things on her own.
If every time she ran into a villain she went to Alaric, she might as well stop being a superhero. That's something Alaric had once told her himself.
"The Green Goblin's real identity is the president of Osborn Industries, Norman Osborn," Alaric said.
"Him!?" Gwen's eyes widened. She never expected that the big villain would be her boss! After all, Gwen and Peter were still interns at Osborn Industries.
"Why… why would he disregard the fact that he's a respectable president and become a criminal wreaking havoc everywhere!?" Gwen didn't understand.
If she were told he followed in Stark's footsteps and became a superhero, she wouldn't have reacted so strongly. Because Stark Enterprises and Osborn Industries were always competitors.
It was only after Tony was kidnapped and returned alive from Afghanistan that he shut down the weapons division and withdrew from the market.
Osborn then had the opportunity to grow and receive many military contracts. Similarly, Hammer Industries also profited.
The reason Osborn became the Green Goblin was also due to a major scientific experimental incident.
Because of that accident, Norman discovered a mysterious formula that could boost his IQ and increase his strength.
At that point, his ambition gradually spilled over, and he began transforming into the Green Goblin and engaging in criminal activities.
However, because the serum had flaws, it amplified Norman's negative emotions, and after being defeated multiple times by Spider-Man, an evil personality was born.
By day, Norman was still the president of Osborn, and by night, a terrifying Green Goblin.
Alaric told all this to Gwen.
"I understand. I'll arrest him!" Gwen said seriously.
"Do you need my help?"
"No need! I can handle it!"
Gwen stood up and left. Now that she knew the true identity of the Green Goblin, she had to go back, plan carefully, and gather evidence of Norman's crimes so she could throw him in jail!
"Alright, take care of yourself." Since Gwen didn't want his help, Alaric didn't say much more.
In any case, Gwen was already quite strong, so there was no need to worry too much.
"Don't worry! I'm going in first!!" Gwen said and exited through the window.
"Gwen's really serious. Seems like she likes being a superhero?" Amora smiled as she watched Gwen leave.
"Yes, because Gwen feels that if she doesn't do anything, she'd be betraying her superpowers." Just like Alaric himself, he had immense power; if he did nothing, he'd feel indebted to the Ancient One who had cared for him in the beginning.
