Death and Recognition
"Damn it!" Peter Parker roared in fury as he watched Norman Osborn have his lower body torn off right in front of him. Forcing himself to stay alert, he unleashed a bolt of electricity at the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers's head, knocking the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers's body to the side.
Even though Norman Osborn was previously working for Peter Parker, Peter Parker didn't want to see a human being eaten by the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers right in front of him. This is probably what the saying "misery loves company" means.
Unfortunately, due to the severe injuries Peter Parker sustained from Norman Osborn's previous treachery, the electrical power Peter Parker unleashed was insufficient to deal with the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers of this size. The attack only caused the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers Shadow-Devouring Soldiers stagger, without affecting its continued biting and tearing at Norman Osborn.
All we can say is that it was all Norman Osborn's own retribution. If Norman Osborn hadn't tricked Peter Parker and seriously injured Peter Parker, Peter Parker might have actually been able to save his life. It can be said that fate had its own way of doing things!
"Whoosh!" The Shadow-Devouring Soldiers bit into Norman Osborn's body again, gnawing away at another piece, and blood was once again splattered everywhere.
This is also due to Hak foo's current orders to the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers. Hak foo instructed these Shadow-Devouring Soldiers to devour the target's body completely after consuming the target's shadow, not giving them a chance to wake up again. That's why the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers kept their attention on the unconscious Norman Osborn himself. Otherwise, the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers would have rushed towards Peter Parker and devoured Peter Parker's shadow long ago.
Of course, once the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers had completely devoured Norman Osborn's body, that was when they began to devour Peter Parker's Shadow-Devouring Soldiers and body. However, Peter Parker had managed to buy himself a little time...
"Bang!"
"Whoosh!"
The Shadow-Devouring Soldiers's body flew out first, followed by the sound of air being torn apart. The Shadow-Devouring Soldiers, which crashed into the wall, underwent a drastic change and was almost instantly turned into black mist and killed on the spot.
"Kara... thank you..." Peter Parker breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the newcomer. Fortunately, Jarvis had quickly notified the others when he was injured, Kara was the closest and fastest, rushed over. Otherwise, he might really have been done for today.
"How did you get into such a mess?" Kara looked at Peter Parker with some confusion. She had been busy lately, taking care of Robet while also keeping an eye on the situation in several surrounding cities. Therefore, she wasn't very clear about Peter Parker Peter Parker's experience, only that he was seriously injured, so she came to help.
However, Kara hadn't expected Peter Parker to be so badly injured. The Shadow-Devouring Soldiers who had been blasted away was clearly weaker than Peter Parker, and Peter Parker hadn't had his shadow devoured, so how could he be defeated?
However, Kara quickly noticed Norman Osborn, who was wearing the Green Goblin Suit and only had half of his body left. Kara realized that Peter Parker's injuries might be related to Norman Osborn.
Kara had heard about the Green Goblin from Peter Parker before; after all, the Green Goblin's technology surpassed that of ordinary people. After Peter Parker's encounter with the Green Goblin, he spoke with Kara and the others, warning them to be cautious of the Green Goblin's energy attacks. At that time, no one knew if the Green Goblin's energy attacks could be upgraded, and if their destructive power increased, even if they didn't harm them, significant damage to ordinary people or buildings wouldn't be good. They needed to find a safer place, didn't they?
"You got ambushed. Didn't you see the explosion marks around you?" Peter Parker sighed helplessly. If he relied solely on his own recovery speed, it would probably take a long time for him to regain his mobility.
However, Peter Parker worried that going to Robet now would disrupt Robet's search for the mastermind behind the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers. For a moment, Peter Parker felt guilty. He had indeed been careless this time. When his Spider-Sense alerted him, he thought it was the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers posing a threat. But the strength of those Shadow-Devouring Soldiers was evident from their size; they posed no threat to him. If he had been more careful, he probably wouldn't have fallen for Norman Osborn's trick.
With a "whoosh!" sound, just as Peter Parker was feeling a little regretful, Kara's eyes flickered slightly, and a Heat Vision pierced through the struggling Shadow-Devouring Soldiers who was trying to get up and escape, turning him completely into black mist.
In Kara's view, the strength of the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers was indeed inconsistent, and it seemed that the larger the number, the stronger they were. However, Kara had never encountered Shadow-Devouring Soldiers who could contend with her. In Kara's eyes, no matter what size Shadow-Devouring Soldiers was, they were all insignificant characters who could be instantly killed.
"Let's go. You're in no condition to move. I'll take you back..." After dealing with the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers, Kara turned to Peter Parker and said softly.
"Okay." Peter Parker nodded, but his expression suddenly changed as he saw Norman Osborn's Mask, or rather, the face and eyes beneath Norman Osborn's Mask.
Due to his previous ordeal, Norman Osborn's Green Goblin Mask shattered, and Peter Parker could see the resentful look in Norman Osborn's eyes beneath the Mask. As the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers dissipated, Norman Osborn gradually regained consciousness, but it was merely a final burst of energy before death. His lower body had been completely devoured, and little of his upper body remained. If it weren't for the Serum he had received and his burning resentment, Norman Osborn wouldn't even have the strength to look at Peter Parker now.
It was this one glance that allowed Peter Parker to recognize Norman Osborn. He remembered that this was Norman Osborn, the father of his good friend Harry Osborn. Peter Parker had previously helped search for Norman Osborn's whereabouts, so he was very familiar with this face.
At this moment, Peter Parker was filled with confusion. He couldn't understand why his best friend's father had become like this. However, out of love for his best friend, Peter Parker instinctively wanted to save Norman Osborn's life. He wanted to find out what had happened, why Norman Osborn had targeted him, and why he wanted his blood...
"It's so frustrating..." Norman Osborn watched as Peter Parker uttered his last words with regret before passing away, giving Peter Parker no chance to react.
"No..." Peter Parker cried out instinctively as he watched Norman Osborn die before his eyes, his emotions a complex mix. To be honest, if someone had ambushed him and caused his current situation, Peter Parker would definitely have sought revenge, after all, he had almost died here.
However, when this person was his best friend's father, and even died in front of him, Peter Parker didn't want him to die like that. But the hatred and anger from before hadn't completely dissipated, leaving Peter Parker overwhelmed with complex emotions and at a loss.
"What's wrong?" Kara noticed Peter Parker's unusual behavior and looked at Peter Parker hesitantly, asking, "I remember, wasn't it a criminal from before? You mentioned him, why are you so agitated about his death? Did you know him?"
"He's Harry's father, the chairman of the Osborn Group ..." Peter Parker sighed, looked up at Kara, and explained softly.
"Your good friend?" A hint of surprise flashed in Kara's eyes. She hadn't expected things to develop so dramatically, and for a moment, Kara didn't know what to say.
"Have Tony send two Mecha over. I need to take his body back to Harry. I can't just leave him here if there's no way to revive him!" Peter Parker nodded, contacted Jarvis, and said that they didn't need any new Mecha, just the oldest Mecha to carry them.
"Let's go to Tony's first and see if his Nutrient Healing Pod can heal your injuries. His body also needs some treatment. And, how are you going to face your friend? Or rather, what kind of person are you going to be when you go to see him? Have you thought it all through?" Kara shook her head, stopping Peter Parker from asking seriously.
"This..." Peter Parker froze on the spot upon hearing this. He thought of Harry Osborn's various reactions when Norman Osborn disappeared. If Harry Osborn were to find out about Norman Osborn's death this time, Harry Osborn would definitely break down. And if Harry Osborn were to find out that Norman Osborn's death was related to him, then who knows what direction their relationship would take.
Even if Peter Parker Central City the entire incident, even if Norman Osborn had been targeting Peter Parker all along, and even nearly killed Peter Parker in an explosion, how can you reason with someone like that?
"Alright, let's go back first!" Peter Parker paused for a moment, then nodded at Kara. He knew he couldn't waste Kara's time, after all, there were still countless people waiting for Kara's rescue, and countless Shadow-Devouring Soldiers that needed to be dealt with.
With a "whoosh," a force field quickly enveloped Peter Parker and Norman Osborn, and Kara pulled them towards the base built by Tony Stark. This base contained a large amount of high-tech equipment, including the Nutrient Healing Pod that Kara had mentioned.
As for why this Nutrient Healing Pod was created, it was Tony Stark's idea. He had previously heard that Robet's Healing Spell were not without cost, and Tony Stark was worried that Infinity use would cause trouble for Robet. Moreover, sometimes, if Robet was not around, the Avengers members would need treatment if they were injured, and even ordinary hospitals, or private hospitals, might not be able to handle those complex injuries.
Therefore, Tony Stark spent some time learning all the relevant medical knowledge, and then created a complete set of robots and Nutrient Healing Pod, which could help wounds heal quickly and replenish the nutrients needed by the body in a timely manner.
The treatment effect certainly cannot compare with Healing Spell, nor can it regenerate severed limbs, but it is still sufficient to stabilize injuries and accelerate recovery in the face of serious injuries.
Peter Parker was quickly placed in Nutrient Healing Pod. His gaze remained fixed on Norman Osborn's mangled body, and he fell silent, still unsure how to deal with Harry Osborn.
"By the way, should I send someone to take Norman Osborn back? All we need to do is remove his equipment and put clothes on him. We can just say he encountered Shadow-Devouring Soldiers outside, and my Mecha couldn't save him in time..." Tony Stark quickly learned about Norman Osborn's situation, and his voice rang out in the room as he offered his suggestion.
To be honest, Tony Stark also felt a bit wistful. Norman Osborn was a bit older than Tony Stark, but not as old as Howard Stark. The two were roughly from the same generation, and had even had contact in the business world. Osborn was also one of the top financial tycoons.
But Tony Stark never imagined that he, a financial tycoon, would become a superhero, while Norman Osborn would become a supervillain. The two embarked on completely opposite paths, and Osborn even met his retribution on his path of violence, being killed by a supervillain from another extraordinary world...
"Forget it, I'll go myself once I've recovered from my injuries..." Peter Parker paused for a moment, then shook his head, not agreeing to Tony Stark's suggestion.
Peter Parker felt that some things could be hidden, but some things couldn't be hidden forever. Moreover, judging from Harry Osborn's unusual behavior before, it was hard to say that Harry Osborn was completely unaware of what his father was doing.
Norman Osborn, a financial tycoon, would only go out alone when he was working as the Green Goblin; otherwise, when would he not be accompanied by a group of people? While others might not suspect anything, wouldn't Harry Osborn become suspicious if he knew some of the truth?
Therefore, Peter Parker would rather tell Harry Osborn everything now than have Harry Osborn discover some Spider Web later, leading to a falling out and Peter Parker being the one who wronged Harry Osborn.
Moreover, Peter Parker has now realized that once he recovers, he will go and talk to Harry Osborn to clear things up. Even if Harry Osborn is unreasonable, it doesn't matter. If the two really part ways because of this, Peter Parker will not regret it for the rest of his life, because Peter Parker has done his best...
Furthermore, Norman Osborn was indeed in the wrong; throughout the entire affair, Peter Parker was the one who suffered harm. It was only due to Norman Osborn's own carelessness that he was ultimately killed by the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers...
