Whew~
The night breeze was slightly cool.
On the rooftop of the Ghost-Spider Club, four indistinct figures seemed to be gazing into the distance.
"I had plans with Stephen to visit the auto show tomorrow. I should get to bed early tonight."
Ye Li folded his arms, his expression calm. "You'd better have a reason for this, Jessica, or watch your ass."
Jessica covered herself, then crouched down and urged Skye, "Skye, are you done yet? Hurry, hurry, or I'm doomed."
Skye sat cross-legged on the ground with her laptop in her arms. Hearing Jessica, she couldn't help rolling her eyes inwardly.
You can lift cars, yet you're afraid of a normal person spanking you?
Still, her fingers sped up. Before long, she pulled up police communications and surveillance feeds from several locations across the city.
Gwen, already dressed in her Ghost-Spider suit, crouched beside her. Looking at the screen, she said in surprise, "Skye, I didn't know you could do this."
"Impressive, right?"
Jessica said proudly, "I was the first one to spot her talent. With Skye around, getting information won't be a problem anymore."
Beside them, Ye Li raised his eyes slightly but didn't feel like speaking.
"The information is real. Two places have indeed been hit at the same time, but why..."
Gwen looked at the surveillance footage and said curiously, "One location has two Lizard Men. Looks like I guessed right. But why is the Green Goblin at the other location?"
Jessica asked in confusion, "Didn't Norman Osborn already die? Could there be two Green Goblins too?"
Ye Li revealed, "With Norman's technology, it should be someone from Osborn Corporation."
More accurately, it was probably Harry.
Jessica asked, "Then what do we do now?"
Gwen assigned tasks. "How about we split up? I'll deal with the Lizard Men, and Jessica, you stop the Green Goblin from causing more damage."
"Wait!
Something happened at Osborn Corporation too!"
Skye pulled up another surveillance video.
In the footage, a blue Electro burst out of Osborn Tower. Wild, out-of-control currents instantly electrocuted several pedestrians. His destructive power was even greater than the Green Goblin tossing Pumpkin Bombs elsewhere.
Ye Li's gaze grew a little more serious. All these things had appeared at once. That was rather unexpected.
"Why is there more?"
Jessica felt her mind turning to mush. "What do we do? What do we do? If only I could split myself in two."
Gwen turned her eyes toward Ye Li. "Li, what do you think we should do?"
I think you should all go home and find your moms. I could take all the rewards for myself...
Though that was what Ye Li thought, he still analyzed the situation aloud. "This Electro displayed the ability to turn into energy in the video. Your powers can't deal with him, so leave him alone for now.
"It would be best to handle the two relatively slow Lizard Men first. Then deal with the Green Goblin, who can fly quickly on his glider. Finally, figure out how to take on Electro."
"Brother is right! We need to focus our efforts, Gwen."
Jessica agreed with the plan.
"It's too dangerous for you to fight two Lizard Men alone. I'll go with you first!"
Heroes Set Out! Venom Appears!
"But... what about the other two places?"
Gwen couldn't bear it. "The casualties are increasing."
"Don't worry, Gwen."
Ye Li put an arm around her shoulders and comforted her. "You aren't the only heroes out there."
As he spoke, he looked in a certain direction.
That was where Stark Tower stood.
"Yeah, Gwen, don't worry about it. We can't handle everything."
Jessica was more accepting of it. "We just need to do what we can. Let's go. The faster we move, the more people we can save."
"Mm, then I'll listen to Li."
Gwen was kind-hearted, but she trusted Ye Li more.
Once the two women had decided, they prepared to leave.
Before they left, Ye Li spread his hands and asked, "So what exactly am I doing here?"
"Brother, stay here and command from the center!"
Jessica left him with those words. Her knees bent slightly, and she leaped high into the air, landing on another rooftop.
"Bye~"
Gwen mischievously pressed two fingers together, swept them along the edge of her hood, and gave Ye Li a salute in farewell.
Then Silk shot from her wrist, and she followed after Jessica.
Watching the two heroines rapidly disappear into the distance,
Ye Li said as well, "I'm going to use the bathroom."
"Skye, stay at the club and coordinate. If there's anything you don't understand, ask Barbara for advice."
Skye: "..."
Atop a skyscraper dozens of stories high.
Two massive green lizards were climbing upward at an unbelievable speed.
One of them had a metal case strapped to its back, though no one knew what was inside.
Their sharp claws easily hooked into the cracks between the floors. A ninety-degree vertical wall could not stop them at all.
Police lights flashed below the building, and police cars had arrived long ago.
But the police's light weapons were helpless against the Lizard Men. They could only watch as the creatures climbed toward the roof.
One officer gripped a small handgun in both hands and complained while leaning against a police car. "Handguns can't penetrate their skin. This isn't something we can handle."
"Quit complaining. At least nobody has been hurt here yet."
Another timid officer hiding behind the police car said, "People have already been injured and killed at the other two locations."
"What do you think those two things are climbing to the roof for?"
"Who knows."
The officer clutching his pistol guessed, "Maybe they're going up there to mate and make more little lizards?"
He felt that the two lizards might be a pair, though it was a completely baseless guess.
"Oh—"
The officer behind the car said gloomily, "Then things would be even worse. I don't want to see a whole bunch of Lizard Men..."
To be fair, the officer had guessed half of it correctly.
Connors really did intend to create more Lizard Men.
Well, of course, not with Peter... They didn't have the necessary equipment for that either.
The device Connors had created could release lizard serum in the form of mist, turning even more people into Lizard Men!
Having reached the rooftop, he had already begun setting it up.
But Peter, standing behind him, gradually developed a cold look in his eyes.
His eyes narrowed into slits.
Then Peter suddenly moved, launching himself at Connors!
Connors, who had been assembling the device, was stunned by the sudden attack.
The one who moved second suffered.
Unable to react in time, he was shoved all the way to the edge of the building by Peter's charged-up force.
"No! Peter! What are you doing?!"
Connors's claws scraped sparks from the ground as he barely stopped himself and locked in a struggle with Peter.
"I'm sorry... Dr. Connors."
Peter desperately exerted force through his hands. "I won't allow anyone else to obtain this power, especially Flash Thompson!"
Their ideals had always differed. A conflict like this had been inevitable sooner or later.
"You... Peter, I never thought you would have such narrow-minded thoughts!"
