"Oh no!!"
Gwen sensed that things had gone badly. As a superhero, she had too many scruples, while the Green Goblin was a crazy villain who acted recklessly without restraint!
For example, he could casually kill ordinary people just now, while she had to hold back and even spare no cost to save them!
Hearing the Green Goblin's words now, it was clear he intended to seize on her weakness and strike back!
Sure enough, while she was lost in thought, the Green Goblin immediately summoned his glider to pick him up, then swiftly fled.
"Damn it! Where do you think you're running?!"
Gwen snapped back to her senses and hurried after him. Even though she knew he had a trap waiting for her, she had no choice but to walk into it!
And so, the iconic scene began: the Green Goblin rode his glider at high speed through the air close to the ground, while Spider-Woman continuously fired webs and swung between skyscrapers like Tarzan, close behind him...
"This is the sorrow of superheroes."
Watching Gwen cautiously pursue the Green Goblin, a mysterious smile appeared on Chen Xi's lips...
Soon, the Green Goblin arrived at the Brooklyn Bridge, with Gwen close behind.
The Green Goblin noticed a sightseeing train several hundred meters away, packed full of tourists. At once, a sinister smirk of triumph appeared in his eyes.
Boom!!
With one punch, the Green Goblin smashed over a passing sedan that had no time to brake and pulled a little girl out of it!
"Ah!! Help!! A monster!!"
The little girl immediately let out a terrified scream, tears streaming down her face. Someone her age would be terrified out of her mind; even an adult with strong nerves might have been scared to death.
Though the girl's father was bleeding heavily from the head, he immediately struggled out of the driver's seat. Instinctively, he drew his gun, aimed it at the Green Goblin, and wildly pulled the trigger...
Beautiful America, where there was a shootout every day.
Nearly every household kept guns close at hand, but unfortunately, his little pistol did nothing more than scratch the Green Goblin's itch.
At that moment, Gwen leaped high from afar and kicked toward the Green Goblin's smug old face. But just then, the Green Goblin abruptly held the little girl in front of himself!
"Oh, fuck!!"
Gwen was forced to change direction and nearly fell into the river. Luckily, she fired a web in time and latched onto the bridge railing...
"Despicable!"
"Hahaha, pathetic hero! Being despicable is the passport of the despicable. If you've got what it takes, come at me!"
The Green Goblin laughed loudly and mocked her to his heart's content, not caring in the least about Gwen's condemnation...
Gwen fell silent. Was she really going to let him go just like that today?
The problem was, even if she wanted to let him leave, the Green Goblin clearly had no intention of letting her off so easily!
Sure enough, as the sightseeing train packed with tourists approached from the distance beneath the Brooklyn Bridge—
The Green Goblin decisively fired a rocket from his glider, blowing a section of track into a twisted bend. The price of derailment would be plunging into the East River and everyone dying!
At that moment, the sightseeing train slowly approached from the distance.
The passengers held up phones and cameras, snapping pictures everywhere, completely unaware that danger was about to strike.
The Green Goblin let out a dark, sinister cackle.
"Spider-Woman, right? I'm giving you two choices now."
"Do you save the girl in my hands, or do you save the people on that sightseeing train?"
"Oh my, beautiful Spider-Woman, I know it's a difficult choice. But if I were you, I'd choose to save the sightseeing train with more people on it."
The Green Goblin closed his eyes, utterly immersed in the game of toying with human hearts. His twisted psyche received an unprecedented sense of satisfaction...
A hero? That came at a price!!
"5, 4, 3, 2,"
The Green Goblin began counting down. He would not give Gwen much time to think. Beneath her mask, Gwen was already drenched in sweat, and the conflict in her eyes showed pain unlike anything she had ever felt before.
"Help! Please, save my daughter!!"
Though the girl's father's face was covered in blood, he seemed unable to feel any pain at all. With a thud, he dropped to his knees before her and desperately kowtowed, heedless of his injuries even as blood poured from his wounds!
The Brooklyn Bridge was already crowded with people, nearly all of them cursing the Green Goblin and insulting his ancestors. If he had not been holding the girl hostage, they would have pulled out hundreds of guns and riddled him with bullets long ago.
By now, Gwen's eyes were full of tears. Looking at the girl, then at the girl's father, she still could not bring herself to refuse.
"I... choose to save the little girl!!!"
Those words seemed to drain all of Gwen's strength. For the first time, she began to doubt herself. So this was how powerless she truly was.
If Chen Xi were here, he would choose to sacrifice everyone and take down the Green Goblin, wouldn't he?
Gwen knew Chen Xi's personality. Other than those he cared about, whom he kept in his heart, no other person or thing could make him retreat or compromise in the slightest!!
"Haha, very good. Here you go!!"
Seeing Gwen make her choice, the Green Goblin glanced at the sightseeing train, which was less than a hundred meters from derailing, then threw the girl toward her.
Gwen swiftly caught the girl. After placing her safely on the bridge, she threw herself onto the tracks without hesitation!
"What a foolish girl!"
Chen Xi could not help but laugh. The girl was foolish in an endearing way, but her determination made him see her in a new light.
At that moment, the train's monitoring radar began issuing warnings. As the announcement sounded, panic erupted throughout the carriage, and everyone screamed in terror at what was about to happen.
Boom!!
Then came the classic scene. Though it was only a sightseeing train, its momentum still left Gwen utterly unable to handle it.
No matter how she braced herself against the front of the train, desperately trying to stop it, she was still driven backward at high speed. Even the Vibranium specially forged by Lockdown using nanotechnology sparked furiously from the friction...
Human strength seemed so insignificant before it!
"Stop! Stop!!"
Gwen's face was flushed crimson, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth. Her Spider-Sense screamed warnings that her body was in danger, yet she remained unmoved and continued to desperately hold back the train.
Realizing it was useless, she suddenly had an idea and continuously fired dense webs at the Brooklyn Bridge pylons overhead!
She wanted to use her webs to secure the train and force it to stop with their elasticity. The sight was so familiar.
Not only the pylons—even the steel cables supporting the Brooklyn Bridge became her targets.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
The webs naturally had limited toughness. Even with the driver braking with all his might, it was not enough. No matter how small, a train was still a train.
The webs kept snapping, but Gwen still refused to give up!
"Hahaha, give up! This sightseeing train needs at least a hundred meters for an emergency stop. Did you think—!"
