Are You Naturally Not Fond of Smiling?

The clarion call for the counterattack has sounded!

At that moment, Norman, who had no Superpowers whatsoever, seemed to become the leader of the Avengers.

He even stole Steve Rogers' classic line.

But no one saw anything wrong with it. Anyone who wasn't a high-ranking member of Hydra, seeing Norman Osborn's performance today, thought he was incredibly brave.

He dared to challenge Pierce without any warning.

The people worshipped him immensely.

Everyone couldn't help but think that they really needed a tough leader to guide everything, to lead those Superpowers individuals and deliver a heavy blow to evil like a hammer!

In reality...

Norman was also panicked.

He felt a little dizzy the moment he saw Pierce pull out his pistol.

What gave him confidence was a small gadget Ben gave him—a portable energy shield that could envelop him in an instant.

So even if Steve hadn't arrived in time, it wouldn't have mattered to him.

Of course, as a show, it wouldn't be as effective as it is now.

At this moment, everyone was engaged in the battle. After Connors injected the serum again, his physical condition was immediately healed by the serum's healing ability.

However, something strange happened; he wasn't Dinosaur Man at this moment, but rather an ordinary Lizard Man.

Despite being much smaller and weaker, Connors still charged towards the Hydra soldiers!

Peter quickly rescued Harry and the others.

Are you alright, Harry?

"I'm fine." Harry's voice sounded a little weak, but with the armor Ben had given him, he was actually the safest of the captured people.

After being rescued by Peter, he dodged the agents' attacks while remotely summoning a new Green Goblin Skateboard.

Natasha, Nick Fury, and Hawkeye didn't have many weapons, but their fighting skills were excellent, and they quickly seized weapons from the Hydra agents and began their counterattack.

There were only a few of them, but they were like a vast army.

On the Hydra side, there truly was a massive army, and a fully equipped one at that!

"I still want to say..." Nick Fury bit down on a grenade and threw it forcefully, "How can you even compete with Primus's Energy Shield?"

They can't break through their defenses, they simply can't break through them!

Only the high-intensity energy of Tony Stark's armor can break through the shield; other conventional weapons are completely useless.

"I remember you were the one who insisted on equipping every agent with that." Hill's hair was stuck to her cheek as she tilted her head to dodge the attack.

"I didn't know they were Hydra..."

Nick Fury said loudly.

On the other side, Connors charged toward the agents holding up Energy Shield; the immense energy scorched his skin, but he didn't even blink.

"Doctor, the Energy Shield is one-way."

Peter flew over on his Silk, circled around the Hydra overhead, and then kicked one of the agents away.

In an instant, a loophole appeared in Hydra's protective array.

Connors immediately followed suit and crashed into them, instantly routing the agents.

Seeing this, Peter a backflip and landed on Connors ' shoulder, cushioning his fall before landing on the ground.

"I didn't expect you to make it this far. But why are Lizard Man?"

Peter asked.

"I used the Lizard Serum that failed back then." Connors grinned, his round, ugly face contorted.

"Lizard Serum?!"

Peter jumped back in fright. "Weren't all of those things destroyed?"

"You forgot about the copies that Stromm stole; they're with the Hardy Foundation."

Connors recalled.

--

Let's move the timeline forward a little.

At the Hardy Foundation.

Just as Mrs. Hardy was about to use her phone to call Pierce, Felicia rushed in and snatched the phone from Mrs. Hardy hand.

"Felicia, what are you doing?" This seemingly delicate girl suddenly erupted, even surprising the usually domineering Mrs. Hardy.

"Mom, you can't arrest them!" Felicia said firmly, smashing Mrs. Hardy's phone.

A few minutes earlier, Felicia had met Mary Jane.

After discovering that Primus was under lockdown, Mary Jane immediately went to Felicia, Hardy Foundation, in her view, was also a behemoth.

She thought Felicia might be able to do something to get Ben out of danger.

So she told Felicia about the secret she had discovered.

However, what happened next far exceeded the expectations of the two girls.

But no matter what, they couldn't stand by and watch Ben and Ben friends get into danger.

Connors breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't forget that he still had to return to the battlefield. However, with his serum power depleted, he had no strength to fight, and even his current injuries put him in danger at any moment.

At this moment, Felicia took out a vial of green serum.

This was something she obtained unexpectedly.

Ever since Ben was captured by Kraven, Felicia has been hoping that she could protect Ben.

She set her sights on the serum, but unexpectedly, before she even went looking for it, she found these things in some corner of the Hardy Foundation.

Felicia even considered getting the injection, but she was worried about becoming an ugly lizard forever, so she couldn't make up her mind.

Just then, Connors's appearance led her to give away all the serum.

--

Peter was utterly astonished after hearing Connors ' explanation.

"Such a thing actually happened?"

Connors grabbed a Hydra soldier, crushed his head, and said, "I suspect Stromm deliberately placed it in the Hardy Foundation."

"I heard that Benny and Felicia were the ones who acquired the original Osborn equipment. I think he probably held a grudge and put the serum in the Hardy Foundation. If someone accidentally breaks it, Felicia will turn into a monster!"

"That madman Stromm!"

Peter cursed angrily.

Then he asked worriedly, "Doctor, can you control yourself?"

"Don't worry, I've already had an antibody injection, so I won't have any problems for a while. Watch out, the enemy is coming again!"

A heavy machine gun swept through, bullets hitting the ground and even penetrating the asphalt road by several tens of centimeters.

Peter and Connors quickly separated.

Tony in the air also suffered many attacks.

There are too many people!

He was flying through the air, having just blasted away several enemies with his Repulsor Ray, when he was hit from behind by a cannonball and slammed heavily to the ground.

"Where are our support?!"

He shouted.

"Ben is currently missing." Steve charged forward with difficulty, braving a hail of bullets.

"That's it..."

Stark looked at the dark clouds drifting across the sky and said dejectedly.

"Mr. Stark, why are you saying such discouraging things?"

Peter dodged the bullets and shouted.

"See for yourselves."

He pointed upwards.

Three massive aircraft carriers hovered in the sky, like the Sword of Damo, threatening the world's security.

That enormous behemoth, like an island floating in the sky, pressed down heavily on everyone's hearts.

Upon seeing this, Pierce, who had been furious at the appearance of the Super Hero, immediately burst into laughter.

He had already hidden himself the moment the war began.

Now, he had found the opportunity to fly back to the aircraft carrier. In the control room, Pierce looked down at the tiny Super Hero in Times Square and felt like a god wielding divine punishment.

He pressed the attack button immediately.

In an instant, bullets and explosives rained down like a storm!

Boom!!

Boom!!

It was almost an indiscriminate attack!

However, the Hydra have energy shields that can protect their heads.

"Spider-Kid!"

Stark yelled and threw out several devices. Once activated, the devices immediately formed a small-scale field that enveloped Peter.

Peter reacted quickly, simultaneously shooting out several Silk to pull Natasha and the others inside.

Thanks!

The first wave of the aircraft carrier's attack was thus safely weathered.

But no one breathed a sigh of relief.

Because bullets were the least significant weapon on those three big machines.

Pierce did not immediately continue his attack.

He turned on the communication system, and the image immediately appeared on the big screen in Times Square.

He laughed mockingly, "Heh heh, you're all doomed, Fury. Captain, I was just giving you a little greeting."

"The weapons on these three aircraft carriers are enough to start a war and conquer a small country in a day!"

"This is all thanks to your help, Tony Stark, and that Hacker fate is unknown... Without your help, it would have been difficult for us to send these three big guys into space so quickly."

"Shut up, you brat!"

Steve swung his round shield violently, smashing the face on Pierce's screen to pieces.

But then, Pierce went straight to using virtual projection.

"You're wasting your time, Captain."

"Just wait and see, the sacred flames of Hydra will purify you all!"

"A new world will be reborn from the ruins of the old, hahahaha..."

He plans to use a nuclear bomb!

Nick Fury's face darkened.

As he said, the nuclear programs on the aircraft carriers were initiated. The three carriers still flew towards higher altitudes to avoid being affected by their own attacks.

Heroes can run, but New York cannot.

Soon, the three aircraft carriers reached sufficient altitude, and Pierce resolutely pressed the activation button for the nuclear missiles.

"Go down with the city, Fury, ha ha ha ha..."

However, the aircraft carrier did not react at all.

"Um?"

Pierce paused for a moment, then pressed the button several more times until it was almost sparking, before realizing that the thing really wasn't working.

Seriously? Something this important can break?

His laughter stopped abruptly.

At that moment, a hoarse voice came from behind him.

"Of course it won't break, but I've already taken control of the aircraft carrier's programming."

Pierce turned around and realized that all the agents had been frozen into statues.

Bant Ben, now Big Chill, strolled toward him.

Why aren't you smiling? Is it just your nature not to smile?
