"You...!"

Harry was so furious he could spit blood.

Shouldn't you be fighting Spider-Man?

She and Knightress destroyed your device!

Gwen Stacy was stunned too. "Do these criminal types all like fighting among themselves?"

Who should she deal with first?

"Forget it, I'll help Jessica Jones first."

Gwen turned her gaze toward Jessica Jones and Peter, who were still tangled up with Venom—

Silk shot out!

Venom's feet were stuck.

But the symbiote quickly separated from it, and it had no effect.

"This monster is really hard to deal with."

Seeing that her Silk had worked, Gwen did not rush to attack again. Instead, she considered how to deal with Venom.

"Connors! I know it's you!"

Harry, who had also injected himself with Green Goblin Serum, exerted force with his hands and burst forth with strength, shoving Connors away before speaking in a coaxing tone.

"I know you have a lot of grievances, but none of that was what I wanted..."

Connors did not pounce again. Flicking out his tongue, he asked, "This is Norman Osborn's Green Goblin equipment. Who are you?"

"I, I am..."

Harry hesitated.

The infamy after his father's identity had been exposed was still fresh in his mind. He did not dare reveal who he was so casually.

So Harry made up a lie.

"Connors, I'm not with Osborn...

"You don't need to be so guarded.

"We can join forces. I can help you.

"Of course.

"In exchange, you have to help me too..."

"Help me..." Connors turned to glance at his emitter, which had already been split in two.

Harry immediately tempted him. "We can make a new one. I can even take you somewhere better to install the emitter."

Connors was tempted...

Gwen, who had been watching the battle and thinking of a way to deal with Venom, suddenly heard a noise from her left.

She reacted swiftly, leaping diagonally up and to the right.

Dodging—

Connors's claws slashed through empty air.

Then she nimbly tilted her head.

A whistling sound brushed past her ear.

She avoided Harry's Green Goblin Glider crashing into her as well.

"They joined forces again?

"How fickle!"

Gwen hurriedly fired Silk and pulled away—why was she always the one getting surrounded?

Oh no, something happened to Gwen!

Seeing that Gwen seemed about to be besieged, Jessica Jones hurried over to support her. "Nerd, hold this monster off for a while! I'm going to help Spider-Man!"

Peter felt like crying. I'm the one getting hammered here.

Gwen found herself attacked from both front and back again.

This time, she felt that Black Spider probably would not come to save her.

Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat—!

A continuous burst of gunfire suddenly rang out.

It drew the attention of everyone on the rooftop, including the police camera drones.

There was no other reason.

The gunfire clearly sounded like an AK rifle, but it was far too unceasing, like a machine gun.

And along with that barrage.

Sparks kept erupting from Connors's body as he closed in on Gwen. His scales were soon shattered, flesh flew everywhere, and his Lizard Man body was driven back again and again.

"Ah—!!"

Connors screamed incessantly. Even his regeneration could not keep up with the torrent of metal!

"Who is it?"

Gwen followed the continuous stream of metal fire with her gaze—

At the rooftop stairwell.

Ye Li was holding an outrageously ornate and flashy AK rifle, firing continuously at Connors!

"Li?!"

Gwen was both shocked and delighted.

Jessica Jones arrived as well.

With a huge leap, she sprang into the air and swung a light sword at Harry from behind!

Harry only had time to jump aside himself, rolling onto the ground as the Green Goblin Glider beneath his feet was chopped to pieces.

Before he could get back up.

Heat flared before his neck.

Jessica Jones held her light sword against his throat. "One touch from this thing, and your head comes right off."

Seeing Jessica Jones's move, Ye Li thought, ...Just kill him. Why leave him alive?

He felt that Gwen and Jessica Jones were far too softhearted. That was not a good habit.

Perhaps that line he had used when loading the beginner template—"With great power comes great responsibility"—

Had overcorrected their values.

That would not do. He needed to straighten them back out.

Ye Li felt it was necessary to set an example and give them a warning!

So.

He suddenly stopped firing. "Oh dear, I'm out of bullets."

Connors's vertical pupils abruptly narrowed—!

After being shot by Ye Li for so long, his rage and hatred had reached their peak!!

"I'll kill you!!"

Connors instantly burst out with unprecedented speed—before even Gwen could stop him, he had pounced in front of Ye Li!

"Die!"

The Lizard Man's huge green hand swung down.

Yet Ye Li's lips curled slightly. Before it could touch him, he deliberately leaped backward—

It looked as though he had been slapped flying by the Lizard Man.

And sent straight off the rooftop!

Connors:??

He stared at his palm in confusion—

Why hadn't he felt anything?

Could the Lizard Serum have developed some new ability, like hitting people from a distance?

"No!!"

"Brother!!"
