Lier sped down the highway, cursing himself for miscalculating--
In theory, Spider-Man Peter Parker's feelings of inferiority and timidity should have been balanced out by his mutated body.
But why was this Peter Parker conducting this kind of experiment? Didn't he know he'd already mutated?
The answer was that he wasn't Spider-Man at all!
The moment Lier noticed something was wrong, he began gathering relevant images and information online--
Thinking of Marvel, Spider-Man Peter Parker, and Lizard Doctor Connors, he'd instinctively put the three together. But works of fiction followed a script; the real world didn't!
The "Spider-Man" online wasn't the red-and-blue Spider-Man. It was the black, white, and pink Spider-Gwen!
But according to his memories, in Spider-Gwen's world, Peter Parker had also been the one to develop the Lizard Serum.
With Professor Connors not being the one who should have become the Lizard, while Spider-Man had become Spider-Gwen, Lier could only understand it as the butterfly effect.
But now wasn't the time to worry about any of that--although Lier had shut down as much of the lab's equipment as he could, it was 2011, not the cyberpunk world. Unless he was right next to the electrical panel, a hacker would have a hard time taking complete control!
Once Peter had made up his mind, he showed considerable hands-on ability.
Peter had shut off the lab's cameras. In the final image, the Lizard Serum had already been synthesized.
Hiss--
The car braked hard and stopped at the school entrance. Ignoring the security guard hurrying out of the guardhouse, Lier activated his Sandevistan and directly connected to the campus security network.
It was the middle of the night, and there was almost no one on campus--but the people still wandering around soon turned their attention to the biology lab building.
