The Fate Worse Than Death

When I was within three meters of Damian, a green seed quietly sprouted at my feet.

In just a few seconds, it grew into a five-meter-tall Man-eating Flower.

The Man-eating Flower opened its huge mouth full of sharp teeth Kingpin swallowed Jinbing whole, its originally slender abdomen instantly becoming swollen.

Kingpin struggled inside, but the plant-like body was as resilient as rubber, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.

The Man-eating Flower's branches and leaves swayed incessantly, yet they held Kingpin captive, making his resistance seem futile.

Doctor Octopus looked down at the floor, where several green marbles lay quietly at her feet.

Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her eyes were filled with fear and confusion.

Damian offered no explanation, but simply held Penny's hand, his face filled with sorrow.

"It's still not enough. If we had prepared some Healing Potion beforehand, we could have saved her."

A dark shadow was slammed into the Particle Collider, accompanied by a huge sound. The collider was completely destroyed, with parts flying everywhere.

"Cough cough... my knife!"

The sound of the Decapitator Demon rang out, and he struggled to crawl out.

His body had several holes and numerous gruesome knife wounds, through which writhing organs could be clearly seen.

But instead of tending to his wounds, he looked at the two broken Bone Blade with a pained expression.

Even the strongest and sharpest Bone Blade can't compare to a rapidly repairing knife that keeps cutting in one spot.

The Slaughter Demon descended from the sky and roughly reattached the head in his hand.

At first, he would try to repair his head after it fell off, but as it kept falling off, he simply started grabbing it by the hand.

"You're really strong, much stronger than the heroes in my world."

"Nonsense, if it were that guy from Basa here, he'd be using you as a punching bag."

Is Basa very strong?

"Although I hate to admit it, he is indeed very strong; even injuries cannot harm him."

The Slaughter Demon and the Decapitator Demon chatted as if no one else was around, showing no signs of having just fought to the death.

The Slaughter Demon believed that without his sword, it was no longer lethal.

The purpose of Decapitator Demon is to buy time...

A blazing pillar of fire suddenly appeared out of the air without warning, and the scorching flames instantly engulfed the Slaughter Demon.

In the raging flames, his body turned to ashes and vanished.

A crimson road appeared on the ground, as if it had been scorched by high temperatures, radiating rolling Heat Wave that distorted the surrounding air.

The Ghost-Spider's figure slowly emerged from the air, and the cannons it held in its hands slowly transformed back into two black bracers.

Gwen looked at the wristband on her wrist and smiled slightly.

The scene from that time flashed through my mind.

"Kino, why are you equipping me with such a powerful weapon? I'm here to fight criminals, not to go to the battlefield."

"This is my masterpiece. Not only can it transform, but it's also incredibly powerful. You'll see once you use it; it's super useful."

"Impossible, I don't kill anyone."

I initially thought I'd never need it in my lifetime, but I used it up so quickly, and it really is amazing.

"You thought you were immortal? You've turned to ash, let's see how you survive now, hehehehe..."

The Decapitator Demon was extremely smug, his arrogant laughter echoing throughout the space.

The only pity was that his head wasn't taken; otherwise, the victory would have been even more perfect.

Gwen snapped out of her daze, her gaze shifting to the Decapitator Demon. Looking at the horrifying wounds on his body, her face was filled with worry.

"Decapitator Demon, can you hold on with your injuries? I'll get you to the hospital right away."

"Oh, Queen Gwen, I'm a devil, this little injury will heal with a good night's sleep."

The Decapitator Demon spoke casually, but the pain on his face was hard to hide.

He paused, then looked at the broken Bone Blade in his hand, his eyes instantly turning sorrowful.

"Unfortunately, I don't know how long it will take for my Bone Blade to heal."

Most of his strength came from this, and now that his Bone Blade is broken, it is undoubtedly a heavy blow to him.

"When we get back, I'll have Kino think of something."

Gwen looked at his wounds, which had stopped bleeding, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"If it were His Majesty the Demon King, he would surely have a way, but..." The Decapitator Demon hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

The Decapitator Demon was merely insane, not stupid. He looked at the dilapidated collider, which was clearly unusable, and felt a wave of helplessness and frustration.

Gwen, remembering the other Spider-Man, turned pale. The Particle Collider was broken; how were they going to get back?

"I'll take them to the hospital; they should be able to hold on for a while longer."

Gwen bit her lip; although she herself felt the chances were slim, she still wanted to try.

"Queen Gwen, I also... Ah!"

Before the Decapitator Demon could finish speaking, the floor beneath his feet suddenly cracked open, and a red spike pierced through his body, lifting him high into the air.

"If I had stayed for another ten seconds or so, you might have really killed me."

The Slaughter Demon crawled out from underground; if I hadn't hidden underground at the crucial moment, I would have been in real danger.

The Decapitator Demon severed the spear behind him with its broken Bone Blade and rolled to the ground.

"Ugh... I'm not dead yet."

The Decapitator Demon pulled the spikes from its chest and vomited blood.

"Decapitator Demon, you take Damian away, I'll stop him."

"Your Princess Consort, please take His Highness away. My heart is ruptured; I cannot survive."

The Decapitator Demon could actually survive; demons aren't that resilient. But he hadn't forgotten his mission.

One of these two will die here; his fate would be worse than death.

Gwen gritted her teeth, her mind in turmoil.

The thought of abandoning her comrades and escaping alone filled her with immense pain and self-reproach, but the current situation left her no room for further hesitation.

"I'm sorry, Decapitator Demon."

"Queen Gwen, please remember to put in a good word for me with His Majesty."

"Okay, if I survive, I definitely will."

Upon hearing this, the Decapitator Demon perked up and looked excitedly at the Slaughter Demon, determined to stop him no matter what.

The next moment, the figures of the Decapitator Demon and the Slaughter Demon vanished simultaneously.

While in the air, Gwen also saw Spider-Man Noir and his crew.

Spider-Man India and Miles lay on the ground, their fates unknown. Spider-Ham lay on the ground, his colorful patches flashing and the light gradually dimming.

Spider-Man Noir leaned against the wall, saw Gwen's figure, said nothing, and simply gave her a thumbs up.

Gwen, suppressing her grief, rushed toward the control room.

With a single leap, Doctor Octopus stood frozen to the side, too afraid to move.

Damian knelt on the ground, before him lay Penny Parker's already cold body.

"Damian, come with me! Doctor Octopus, follow us!" Gwen didn't have time to explain, grabbing Damian and rushing towards the elevator.

Doctor Octopus hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed.
