R Batman Incident (18)

In the skies above Brooklyn District, Peter once again confronted the pain of a superhero.

Just like when he faced Matt, this was the first time he heard Stark speak of his fears, and the first time he felt Stark's inner struggle.

Peter suddenly realized that people who seem to be called heroes always have the same qualities, and what drives Daredevil Matt and Iron Man Stark is the same motivation.

Peter has never agreed with the saying "Nobility is the epitaph of the noble" as much as he does today.

Heroes are always hampered by their higher moral standards than ordinary people, and even knowing that they are heading towards a dead end, they still have to do it.

But that doesn't mean they aren't afraid and in pain. Peter could sense that Stark was afraid.

But he also has reason to be afraid; no one in this world is without the fear of death.

But as if driven by something, like a moth drawn to a flame, he walked down that predetermined path.

Even though Peter had described his death in detail to Stark, telling him about the scene of falling from the top of the building, Stark still flew towards it without hesitation, as if he had already found his own grave.

Just like that night at Matt's cabin, Peter felt the same anger burning up in his chest.

But this time, Peter thought, he would never witness another tragedy.

The same tragedy will not happen again. He is no longer the naive Peter Parker of that time, no longer hesitant and giving up in the face of contradictions. He has seen clearly the path he must take, and he will stop it no matter what the cost.

Peter suddenly felt as if his brain had been injected with a tranquilizer; the boiling anger began to gradually calm down and then solidify into a deeper power that surged within him.

Suppressing his emotions, Peter said to Stark, "Let's go up together."

Steve, who was cleaning up vampires downstairs, saw Stark and Peter fly to the top of Highland Tower together.

By this time, the night was very deep, and the moonlight began to gradually brighten. The cold moonlight shone on the blood, giving it an eerie purple hue, and the bats' wings and claws gleamed with a mysterious luster.

Soon, several helicopters carrying the generators for generating the mutant serum flew to the roof of the Highland Tower. The generators resembled enlarged versions of UV emitter, and they were all shaped like flower buds.

Once the device landed, Stark stood in front of the machine and adjusted it a few times. The machine lit up with a red light, and the flower bud gradually unfolded.

Peter, meanwhile, was dealing with the bats that were flying towards him. After all, such a loud entrance was bound to attract the attention of the other side, and the vampire had sent about a dozen bats to harass him.

Stark muttered to himself, "It will take about 5 minutes to start up, and about 20 minutes until all the gas is used up. We need to stay here for half an hour until the mutated serum takes effect."

Steve himself has no ability to fly, making him more suitable for ground combat. Ground troops also desperately need him, and S.H.I.E.L.D. agent are mostly stationed on the ground. Without them, ordinary people would find it too difficult to deal with those giant bats. In a situation where the battle is too intense, no support can be spared from anywhere. If reinforcements are forcibly mobilized, the defense line may collapse completely.

Five minutes passed quickly, and the bud-like generator gradually unfolded. Soon, Peter felt the air become humid. Then, Stark retreated, and a violent gust of wind swept through, causing the generator to disintegrate. A spherical storm swept across the entire battlefield.

Peter leaned over the railing at the edge of the building and looked down. At first, the bats didn't change much, but in less than two minutes, some of the bats began to shimmer with scales. About three minutes later, the mutation broke out in full force.

Many bats sprouted lizard claws from their heads, and a leg suddenly grew from their wings. Peter shuddered because he found these mutations to be rather unsightly, or to put it bluntly, disgusting.

Imagine a bat flying peacefully through the air suddenly letting out a scream, seven or eight lizard legs sprouting from its abdomen, and then plummeting to the ground, turning into a fleshy ball of scales and claws.

Steve rolled away, dodging a lizard-like fleshy monster that fell from mid-air. Feeling a discomfort in his throat, he spoke into the walkie-talkie, "Connors, this thing is absolutely disgusting! My God, I've lived all my years and never seen anything like it..."

Indeed, the combination of bats and lizards is really hard to accept. This kind of art style is too early for any carbon-based creature. Many frontline soldiers, although they were not injured by the falling bat-lizard monsters, suffered a great mental shock and squatted on the spot retching.

However, it must be said that this mutated attack is extremely effective. The vast majority of infected bats lost their ability to fight. After all, you can't expect a monster with seven or eight legs growing on its body and wings to fly normally.

Most of the mutated bats fell to the ground, either smashing into a pulp or rolling around on the spot.

Bats' Self-Healing abilities are useless. Essentially, they are not injured; they just have extra parts. Their Self-Healing abilities can only heal wounds, but they can't do anything about extra scales, claws, and legs.

However, while the vast majority of bats were infected, some escaped. Seeing this, Deacon roared angrily, "Attack that device on the roof!! Can't you see? That's what's causing the trouble!!"

He was frantic. The vast majority of his combat-ready forces had been infected, and Deacon couldn't break the mutation anytime soon.

Within half an hour, the situation on the battlefield had turned into a one-sided Carnage. Humans encountered no resistance and directly recaptured the Brooklyn Bridge. If this continued, the vampires would definitely be wiped out.

Deacon cursed loudly, but the situation did not improve. Finally, he said coldly, "It seems that we can only send the great Bat Guardian ahead of schedule."

He stared coldly at the top of the Highland Tower and said, "The great Bat Guardian will destroy that damn device for us."

On the rooftop Stark and Peter were focused on dealing with some surviving bats when suddenly Peter's Spider-Sense activated. A blurry image flashed by, and Peter yelled, "Back off!! Danger!! Back off!!!"

Stark retreated in response, but it was too late. A burst of intense red light erupted from the center of the rooftop, and a red beam shot straight into the sky, almost dimming the starlight.

Stark was blasted off the roof by the light, Peter almost fell as well. Luckily, he used his Silk to hang on to the edge of the building and quickly climbed back up. Although Stark's armor was damaged by the impact, the power system was still usable, so he also lay on the edge of the roof and jumped up.

At the center of the rooftop of the Highland Tower, after the red light gradually dissipated, a figure appeared. Peter saw a male figure with long black hair, wearing a tuxedo, and with red eyes, appearing in the center of the pillar of light.

This is indeed the common image of a vampire; Peter's Spider-Sense has almost reached its peak.

He was being driven mad by this intense sense of crisis; every cell in his body was telling him to run, to get out of here, or he would die.

The first words spoken by the Bat God Guardian were. "Spider... where are you? Oh, here you are, my sacrifice..."

Peter felt as if he were being choked, and he slowly fell down, feeling a huge suction force coming from the vampire. He clutched his neck and struggled desperately on the ground.

Powerful physical strength cannot withstand this suppression of the soul. Peter has only had the ability to Spider Mutation for a very short time, and he has no way to resist the Cosmic Vampires that roam the Multiverse and hunt Spider-Man.

Seeing this, Stark rushed over, grabbed Peter, ripped off his hood, and looked him in the eyes, saying, "Wake up! Peter! Wake up! You have to fight him!!!"

But Peter just kept twitching and rolling his eyes, unable to respond to Stark at all.

Stark knelt on the ground. He looked up and saw the figure who called himself the Bat Guardian reaching out One Hand, seemingly drawing something from Peter's body.

Without a second thought, Stark raised his palm and fired a palm cannon at the vampire. However, this vampire was not like the bats on Earth; a magical barrier appeared and easily blocked all of Stark's attacks.

Seeing that his ranged attacks were ineffective, Stark charged toward the vampire. At this moment, Morlun also noticed that there was another person on the roof besides Spider-Man, but he didn't take Stark seriously at all. During his hunt for Spider-Man, many local forces resisted him, but none of them succeeded.

With a wave of his hand, Iron Man flew out. Stark saw that something seemed to be pulled out of Peter's body. He knew that it was probably Peter's soul. He also knew that if this continued, Peter would surely die.

Stark tells Jarvis, "Push me out of the mech! Then detonate! We have to interrupt him!!"

"There are dedicated self-destructing mechs nearby, you..."

"It's too late! Use this one!" Stark shouted.

Instantly, Stark was ejected from the flying mech, which then hurtled straight toward the vampire.

The moment Peter regained consciousness, he saw Stark eject from the mech. This scene gradually overlapped with the image of Stark's death that he had seen in his consciousness.

Peter shouted, "No!!!"

Before he could finish shouting, black slime gushed out from One Hand, wrapped around Stark, and then pulled back sharply, throwing Stark in front of Peter.

However, the violent impact and sudden stop during high-speed movement still caused a huge shock to Stark's internal organs. Blood gushed from his mouth, nose, and ears, and almost instantly, Stark lost consciousness.

Peter was gasping for breath; he was almost going crazy. The image of Stark's death kept replaying in Peter mind; it was so close...

This intense fear overwhelmed Peter's reason; his Spider-Sense began to blare wildly, and Peter's consciousness became a chaotic mess.

Suddenly, the vampire saw Peter, who was kneeling on the ground, look up at him. The look in his eyes felt very unfamiliar to him; there was no fear or despair in them.

He had never seen any Spider-Man with such eyes. During his hunting journey, he had seen too much fear, resentment, and hatred in the face of death, but he had never seen such calm as this black sea.

"You damned vampire..." Peter slowly got up from the ground. He lowered his head, his hair falling in front of his eyes, blocking the bright moonlight and shrouding his eyes in shadow.

"Don't compare me to those bats," the vampire said. "I am a member of the great Morlun Family, I am the god of bats!"

"Bats? No..."

An endless black tide surged forth from the space of consciousness, and in a daze, a group of shadowy bats swept across an unfamiliar night sky.

Morlun heard the Spider-Man's voice deepen, as if it were merging with another cold voice:

"You've never seen a real... bat."
