Guan Heng frowned when he heard about the Green Goblin. Peter's slightly panicked expression and hesitant manner made Guan Heng feel that something was amiss.
What Peter finally told him also left Guan Heng deep in thought.
That night, at the Osborn Enterprise Building.
More than ten stories above the ground, Spider-Man clung to the outer glass while Guan Heng sat astride the Giant Dragonfly Emperor. The insect's wings quivered faintly, keeping them suspended in the air. Spider-Man glanced at the emperor, still somewhat stunned, and thought, Guan Heng actually managed to tame a monster like this. Doesn't that make him an even more formidable monster?
Guan Heng said with a grim expression, "I didn't expect it to be true. Norman Osborn really is the Green Goblin." He thought to himself, Sigh. Pretending I don't know is so painful. It's a pain that transmigrators can never escape.
Spider-Man said, "When Director Fury told me the intel, I couldn't believe it either." He paused, then continued, "That's why I was in such a hurry to find you and confirm whether it was true."
Meanwhile, in Norman Osborn's laboratory, Norman was testing his newly redeveloped Body Strengthening Potion. But his other, twisted and evil personality had egged him on to become the Green Goblin and kidnap his own son, Harry.
At that moment, Norman's Evil Personality was battling the kind personality in his mind. The evil side intended to inject Harry with the potion, giving him a superhuman physique so he could rule New York City alongside him. The good side desperately tried to stop him from within.
The needle filled with the potion crept closer to the bound Harry. He suddenly woke up and cried out, "Ah! Help!"
Guan Heng's ear twitched. "Something's wrong! I think I heard Harry shout."
"Yeah, I think I heard him too." Spider-Man nodded. "Let's hurry and check it out."
This time, Guan Heng and Spider-Man had received orders from S.H.I.E.L.D. to capture the Green Goblin and stop him from wreaking havoc in New York City again.
But Peter had insisted on asking Fury to let him and Guan Heng handle the mission alone, without assigning anyone else to join them. He was thinking of his good friend Harry and feared that word would get out. If Harry learned that his father was an evil criminal, the proud young man might break down.
Back in the laboratory, Norman was struggling bitterly between good and evil. If the needle entered Harry's arm, his son would follow in his footsteps.
After two loud crashes, the Demon Hunter Guan Heng and Spider-Man kicked through the glass of the Osborn Building and burst into the corridor. The laboratory was not far away, and the two hurried toward it.
At the same time, the Green Goblin personality had forcibly suppressed the good one. He had heard the commotion, and the alarm above him was blaring. "Warning! Warning! Intruders detected!"
Two swift figures appeared on the monitor. The Green Goblin narrowed his eyes, two cold gleams flashing within them. "Those two troublemakers again!" He glanced at his son, who had lost control and shouted moments ago but was now unconscious from a blow. Then he casually put the syringe of enhancement potion back where it had been. "Wait for me to come back, Harry. I'll turn you into the perfect Superman!"
"Cackling... I'll go deal with them now." The Green Goblin, fully suited up, wore a cruel, eager smile.
Boom! Guan Heng smashed the laboratory door open with a punch, and he and Spider-Man rushed inside.
"Yoo-hoo, boys!" The Green Goblin flew out of the laboratory over their heads on his Flying Skateboard. "You showed up uninvited. What a pair of unexpected guests! Try this little gift!" As he shot through the doorway, he tossed two bombs at them.
Whoosh! Spider-Man's two clumps of webbing stuck the bombs firmly to the wall.
Guan Heng kicked off the ground and shot diagonally toward the Green Goblin's glider. With a thunderous punch, he roared, "Get down here!"
With a loud crack, the glider shattered under the force of Guan Heng's punch. The Green Goblin fell to the floor and was immediately sent flying by Guan Heng's kick.
Bang! His body flew to the end of the corridor and slammed against the wall. The tremendous impact left cracks spreading across it.
Spider-Man glanced at the Green Goblin lying ahead and asked, "How does it look? Is he down?"
Guan Heng shook his head. "The Green Goblin's body-enhancing formula is seriously powerful. My kick just now felt like it landed on a wall several meters thick."
"Cackling! This kid seems to know a lot about me." The Green Goblin, sprawled at the end of the corridor, suddenly sprang to his feet with a kip-up and hurled two Pumpkin Bombs at them.
The Green Goblin had set the bombs to detonate instantly. As they beeped, Guan Heng shouted, "Watch out!" His hands flashed as he grabbed a metal door and held it in front of himself and Spider-Man. With a thunderous boom, the blast's shock wave was blocked.
"Gahahaha! That was exhilarating! Let's go again!" the Green Goblin roared arrogantly. He suddenly whistled, and a spare Flying Skateboard shot out of a nearby room. He jumped onto it and charged straight at Spider-Man and Guan Heng.
"You green maggot! You can throw bombs, but I..." Guan Heng swung the metal door in his hands. "...can swat flies!"
Thud! The door struck the Green Goblin squarely, slamming him straight into the concrete wall.
Dust billowed and stone fragments flew. Amid the Green Goblin's pained cries, he flipped backward several times and landed on the glider. He wheeled around in midair and fled at once.
"After him!" Guan Heng and Spider-Man took off, moving as fast as lightning.
They had run less than ten meters when the Green Goblin flung a hand backward without looking. "Try this!" A powerful laser beam suddenly shot from the glove he wore.
"Watch out, Spider-Man!" Guan Heng swung his left hand, fitted with a knuckle duster. Bang, bang, bang! He knocked away every laser beam. In the blink of an eye, deep holes pocked the surrounding floor and walls.
Spider-Man couldn't help staring in astonishment. If he had rushed forward just now, the lasers would have pierced him through. The thought left him shaken.
But the lasers in the Green Goblin's gloves weren't unlimited. After one volley, they ran out. The Green Goblin rode his Flying Skateboard, circling around the two superheroes. Then, without warning, the glider turned in midair, and he dove headfirst through the gap between them like a bolt of lightning.
He flew straight back into the laboratory they had just left. The sound of breaking glass rang out alongside Harry's scream.
Spider-Man and Guan Heng looked at each other. "Oh no! He's heading for the roof!"
The two took the stairs two at a time and raced up to the rooftop. As soon as they arrived, the Green Goblin's last two Pumpkin Bombs came hurtling toward them.
Guan Heng swung the Chengying Sword and, with a sharp smack, knocked both bombs far into the distance. They burst into brilliant fireworks in the sky.
"Don't come any closer!" The Green Goblin hovered above the ground on his glider, with more than ten stories of empty space beneath him. "Or I'll let go, and this kid will hit the ground and turn into a puddle of flesh!" As he spoke, he shook Harry in his hand.
