Osborn's Decision

It has to be said that Thor and the Asgardian Four are completely different now than before. If it were before, Thor, with his fiery temper, would definitely have fought back after being beaten and forced to flee by Hak foo.

The Asgardian Four was in the same predicament; they were always the ones chasing others and fighting on other people's turf, and had never been this disheveled before.

But this time, after being brainwashed, the Asgardian Four made no mention of revenge, completely setting aside their hatred for Hak foo and starting anew with Thor...

Of course, Thor would definitely seek revenge if given the chance, but Thor is still quite wary of Hak foo's strength, especially his fear of the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers ' abilities!

It's important to understand that even though Thor and his crew have escaped, their shadows are noticeably dimmer than usual, suggesting a permanent weakening of their strength—which is quite terrifying...

Thus, after being defeated by Hak foo, Thor was forced to change his plans. Meanwhile, Hak foo, having killed all his men, became arrogant and began to seek opportunities to absorb shadows to increase his strength.

However, since Hak foo devoured people from secret bases of organizations like Hydra, the commotion he caused wasn't too significant. Tony Stark did receive some news about incidents at S.H.I.E.L.D.. and other organizations' bases, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

In Tony Stark's view, these organizations definitely have trump cards up their sleeves, and these problems should be resolved whenever they are willing to use them.

Besides, these organizations' affairs don't affect the lives of ordinary people, so Tony Stark Tony Stark n't be bothered with them. He's too busy dealing with all the supernatural events and crises in the normal world!

Moreover, Tony Stark discovered Spider Web about Hydra, Tony Stark prepared to further investigate Hydra's whereabouts and annihilate another Hydra!

Of course, Tony Stark was unaware that the Hydra's presence was discovered because Hak foo's Shadow-Devouring Soldiers were attacking Hydra. In order to counter and stop the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers ' attack, the various branches of Hydra were forced to expose themselves.

"Damn it! What are these shadowy figures? Have we found any information on them?" In a Hydra Base, a high-ranking Hydra official looked grave. They had just used a trump card—a supernatural item—to successfully eliminate the invading Shadow-Devouring Soldiers, but their losses were still extremely heavy.

Previously, during the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers' invasion, many Hydra Soldiers were rendered unconscious by having their shadows devoured and were killed on the spot in the chaos of battle, without even a chance to wake up.

Furthermore, the extraordinary items used this time were extremely valuable, which was unacceptable to the higher-ups of Hydra. They quickly ordered their subordinates to investigate.

Unfortunately, although Hydra, S.H.I.E.L.D.., and the A.R.G.U.S. were all investigating the origins of the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers at first, compared to the Hydra lineage that had contact with the Demon Sorcerer and the Shadowkhan, the remaining soldiers had no idea about the origins of the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers.

Furthermore, since they couldn't communicate with each other, these forces could only continuously use their trump cards to wipe out the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers and protect their own subordinates from further losses.

However, faced with this situation, Hak foo's side did not rush to continue the attack and expand their gains, because their losses were not insignificant either.

Admittedly, the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers are virtually endless. As long as Hak foo continues to wear the Shadow-Devouring Mask, he can summon Shadow-Devouring Soldiers indefinitely. However, the problem is that the initial Shadow-Devouring Soldiers are very weak. Only those that have devoured a large number of Shadow-Devouring Soldiers can increase their strength.

The Shadow-Devouring Soldiers that Hak foo had previously sent out to deal with the various forces were already fully grown Shadow-Devouring Soldiers. This caused him to lose a significant portion of his combat power instantly, forcing Hak foo to temporarily slow down his offensive and try to use the newly initialized Shadow-Devouring Soldiers to deal with the various forces.

However, while Hak foo's strength was damaged, Thor's strength recovered. Unfortunately, only Thor's strength was restored, because the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers who had devoured the shadows of the Asgardian Four were not killed.

This change puzzled Thor and the Asgardian Four, but their fear of Hak foo deepened, and they had no intention of going back to seek revenge on Hak foo even though Thor's strength had been restored.

As for Hak foo, not only did he have to deal with various powerful forces, but since Thor and his companions were hiding in the city, they were also difficult to find. In the end, he had no choice but to temporarily abandon the idea of finding Thor's whereabouts...

Thus began a period of turmoil between the official forces and the supernatural powers, but on the surface, the ordinary world remained peaceful, and at least for the time being, no ordinary people were harmed because of Hak foo and the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers.

Meanwhile, Peter Parker and his friends, who were still in school, were doing quite well. Although no extraordinary events had occurred, ordinary dangerous incidents were enough for them to seize opportunities to make a name for themselves, especially Peter Parker Peter Parker.

Spider-Man's reputation in peaceful New York City is now second only to Superman and Iron Man, mainly due to Peter Parker's high frequency of appearances. In addition, after learning about Peter Parker's actions, Tony Stark and Clark relaxed their support for the area, so Peter Parker's name naturally rose quickly.

Of course, another very important reason why Peter Parker's Spider-Man name became so popular is that Superman and Iron Man can fly, both in terms of their abilities and technology.

Peter Parker, on the other hand, swings from one skyscraper to another using Spider Web. The visual impact is on a completely different level; this swinging motion is clearly much more thrilling...

As a result, many parkour enthusiasts have begun to idolize Spider-Man and imitate Spider-Man style of movement, which has instantly increased Spider-Man's workload.

Just as Peter Parker was beginning to gain fame, some problems arose with Harry Osborn. It wasn't a problem with his relationship with Mary Jane, but rather that Harry Osborn's health was deteriorating.

The reason is that the Osborn Family has a special genetic disease, and Harry Osborn's father, Norman Osborn, has been trying to find a solution, but without success.

In Norman Osborn's vision, if a human enhancement drug similar to the Super Soldier Serum could be successfully replicated, then his and Harry Osborn's hereditary disease would surely be resolved, and even their descendants would not have to suffer from such pain.

Unfortunately, the Super Soldier Serum seems to be commonplace in the supernatural world, or rather, among powerful organizations, and it wasn't so easy for Norman Osborn to get his hands on a sample.

And most importantly, after Norman Osborn finally spent a huge amount of money to obtain a formula for the Super Soldier Serum, he discovered that the side effects of the Super Soldier Serum could not be eliminated at all!

In other words, even if the Super Soldier Serum Super Soldier Serum were developed and Norman Osborn and Harry Osborn injected themselves with it, they might not be able to withstand its Super Soldier Serum Super Soldier Serum's influence on their personalities...

To this end, Norman Osborn spent an unknown amount of money, employing numerous scientists to develop Super Soldier Serum that would be harmless to the Osborn Family...

On one occasion, Norman Osborn was close to success, but the scientist who developed the solution absconded with the results, claiming that the contraption he had created was far too dangerous...

Norman Osborn was nearly driven mad with rage. He had painstakingly invested so much money and resources just to survive, only to have his research stolen and vanish without a trace...

From then on, Norman Osborn became even more irritable and harsher on his scientists, but unfortunately, under such pressure, they were even less likely to produce any effective results.

Norman Osborn grew increasingly anxious, knowing his time was running out, and Harry Osborn's time was also running out, especially under these circumstances. Norman Osborn didn't know whether he should allow Harry Osborn to leave a descendant for his lineage...

At that moment, Norman Osborn Norman Osborn Spider-Man's existence, which made him suspicious, because the closest thing to a successful plan was about Mutated Spider.

The original concept involved cultivating a special Mutated Spider using a drug similar to Super Soldier Serum, and then transferring the Mutated Spider's abilities to the bitten person, thereby completely altering their genes!

The plan was just one step away from the final clinical trial, but all the plans and data were taken away. The appearance of Spider-Man at this time undoubtedly made Norman Osborn suspicious.

"Men! Go and investigate all of Spider-Man's information!" Thinking this, Norman Osborn's eyes flickered slightly, a cold glint flashing within them, as he gave the order to his men.

Norman Osborn is determined to find out the origins of this Spider-Man, and even plans to capture Spider-Man to see if Spider-Man abilities are the same as those developed by the escaped scientist!

Norman Osborn had a good idea. He thought that someone like Spider-Man, who operated so flamboyantly in downtown New York City, would definitely leave a lot of traces. Not to mention the various citizens on the streets, even the official authorities couldn't possibly ignore such an obvious superhuman.

But Norman Osborn was overthinking it. Unlike the universes where Spider-Man fought alone, and unlike the universes where Spider-Man grew up entirely under Iron Man's protection, the Spider-Man in this universe was undoubtedly more mature.

Peter Parker doesn't clash with the police; he believes he's always right and disrupts police plans in order to gain attention and become a so-called superhero.

Therefore, Spider-Man was not blacklisted by the New York police system. In fact, Spider-Man saved many officers when they were in danger, gaining a lot of support.

Furthermore, with Jarvis handling the aftermath behind Peter Parker, Peter Parker had virtually no worries, and even the various surveillance recordings remained undetected...

Therefore, after some investigation, Norman Osborn was surprised to find that he couldn't find any trace of Spider-Man, unless Spider-Man happened to encounter something and appear in front of him...

"My time is running out. I can feel that my life is really coming to an end!" After some investigation, Norman Osborn's face was ashen. He gritted his teeth and murmured to himself.

"Whether I live or die is no longer important, but Harry absolutely cannot die. He needs to live well and be healthy. If that Spider-Man's blood is really what I expected, then it will definitely help Harry recover. And I should go down the path of protecting Harry to complete this step!"

Thinking of this, Norman Osborn suddenly stood up and strode towards the laboratory. Despite the scientists' attempts to stop him, Norman Osborn did not hesitate at all and injected himself with the serum that had been developed for who knows how many years but still had no side effects!

Norman Osborn refused to believe he would die like this. He felt that even if he died, he would be able to crawl back from hell because he still had unfulfilled desires!

This unwavering conviction also helped Norman Osborn remain calm when facing his son, Harry Osborn, thus helping Harry Osborn become a healthier person...

In the end, Norman Osborn succeeded, but not entirely. After the serum injection, Norman Osborn felt his body possess immense strength; he had never realized his body could be so robust.

But along with the power, Norman Osborn also possessed a malevolent intent, an intent originating from Norman Osborn himself. Under the influence of the serum, this malevolent intent was amplified many times over, causing Norman Osborn to instantly lose his mind.

"Did... did it succeed?" The scientist looked blankly at Norman Osborn, who was standing still. At that moment, Norman Osborn suddenly looked in his direction. The scientist felt as if he had seen the eyes of Beast, which made him tremble. He instinctively wanted to run away, but it was too late!

With a loud "bang," the scientist's body flew out and crashed into the wall, losing all signs of life. Norman Osborn's physical form also vanished.
