Jessica looked at Peter, who had been ravaged by Venom. "This black thing is insanely strong. The nerd looks like he's having a rough time under there. Should we save him?"
"Yeah, and Peter too. I almost forgot about him."
It wasn't really Gwen's fault for forgetting Peter.
He currently looked like some kind of lizard monster, making it easy to think of him as the Lizard Man rather than Peter Parker.
Gwen looked toward the green lizard and black monster tangled together. "I don't know what happened to turn Peter into this, but let's get him away from that black monster first."
Compared to the unknown Venom, Gwen was more inclined to help her neighbor.
After all, Peter had helped stop Connors's plan.
"Leave it to me!"
Jessica raised her lightsaber and charged over. "Watch me chop this black monster apart!"
Venom sensed the chilling danger behind it and stopped bothering Peter, who had already had a large number of scales torn off beneath it.
Its powerful hind legs tensed, and it sprang away with a bang, landing some distance off and opening up space between itself and Jessica.
"Knightress... Jessica..."
"And Ghost-Spider..."
Flash Thompson, inside Venom, took control at that moment and suddenly roared, "You were all accomplices! Why didn't you come save me sooner that day?!"
"You were in cahoots with Peter, weren't you?!"
"You did it on purpose!"
"Huh? This thing can talk too?"
Jessica paused and asked Flash curiously, "Who are you?"
Flash snarled, "I am Venom—! I'll make you feel pain!!"
After he roared those words,
Venom's voice turned hoarse again, producing strange hissing syllables. "Ka... si..."
It sounded utterly deranged.
"What? That made no sense."
Jessica stopped caring.
She leaped up and slashed at Venom!
And she awkwardly shouted the move Ye Li had taught her, "Hah—Cleave Mount Hua!"
The lightsaber swept through the night like a curtain of deep blue light.
Venom sensed the danger and did not dare meet its edge.
Using its speed advantage, it swiftly dodged Jessica's slash and pounced toward Peter again.
It still wanted to kill Peter first!
"Damn it! Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
Peter, equally enraged, lunged at it again, and the two resumed tearing at each other.
Green scales were ripped away, only to grow back at once.
Black fluid was torn apart, only to pull itself back together.
After several exchanges—
Peter was pinned down and pummeled again.
...After all, losing was losing.
Fortunately, Jessica arrived with her lightsaber this time. She found an opening and avoided Peter's strike toward Venom—
The lightsaber sliced through Venom's black flesh without the slightest resistance.
Or rather, the symbiote had actively avoided the scorching heat.
After several consecutive cuts,
Venom had suffered only shallow wounds.
Jessica had only sliced open the outer symbiote and had not harmed Flash inside.
Its reactions were too fast.
Seeing that Jessica and Peter still could not take down Venom even together, Gwen moved to help.
But just then,
her Spider-Sense went off!
Webbing shot out instantly, sticking to the edge of the building and pulling Gwen sideways.
Clang~
A metal object landed where she had been, letting out a crisp sound.
Then, the very next second—
BOOM!!
Fire burst outward in all directions.
It was an exploding Pumpkin Bomb.
"Spider! Hehehe!"
Harry appeared with a wicked grin, standing on a Green Goblin Glider.
He had not forgotten his father's secret last wish.
Only by obtaining Spider-Man's blood would they have a chance to cure their family's hereditary disease!
"Green Goblin!"
Without wasting words, Gwen raised both hands and fired two strands of webbing at Harry—
Smack! Smack!
Two faint sticky sounds rang out.
The improved Web-Shooters fired faster, and the webbing successfully stuck to the Green Goblin Glider beneath Harry's feet.
Harry did not care.
Just as Gwen was about to yank the webbing,
the front of the Green Goblin Glider fired two miniature missiles.
Gwen had no choice but to release the webbing and nimbly backflip off the building, avoiding the incoming missiles.
Of course, she had not actually jumped to her death. She clung to the building's vertical outer wall.
After hearing two explosions,
her Spider-Sense activated—
No danger.
No—
Beneath the moonlight,
Gwen's agile figure sprang up and flipped back onto the roof in the blink of an eye, her movements smooth and fluid.
But the sight on the rooftop startled her, and she immediately threw a web ball inward, equipment given to her by Ye Li.
A green arm blade had extended from the Green Goblin's forearm and was cutting through the white web cocoon binding Connors.
Harry did not have time to dodge.
He did not think much of the little thing, either.
With one swing of his arm blade, he easily sliced the ball apart.
But at the same time—
White webbing exploded from within it!
"Damn it, what is this?!" Harry was bound to the cocoon by webbing.
Fortunately, he was very strong, and Connors was also nearly free.
By the time Gwen swung over on her webbing,
both the Green Goblin and Doctor Lizard had broken free of their restraints!
"This is bad!"
An Actor's Self-Cultivation! The Lizard Man Dies with Eyes Wide Open!
Gwen immediately shifted to the side and pulled back the kick she had been about to deliver.
She had no confidence in taking on two opponents at once.
But just as Gwen thought Connors would join forces with the Green Goblin against her,
Connors suddenly pounced on Harry and knocked him down. "Osborn, you treacherous bastard!"
