Seeing that Spider-Man had withstood his attack unscathed, Doctor Octopus's madness intensified.
"You annoying bug! Die!"
All four tentacles exert force simultaneously.
Doctor Octopus, like a spider, scaled the walls and ceiling, lunging at Peter.
Four sharp mechanical claws blocked Peter's escape route from different angles.
"Warning, target's attack trajectory has been locked. We recommend using the Shock Split Net," Anna quickly provided tactical guidance.
"Receive!"
Peter pushed off the machine with a sudden effort, leaping high into the air.
In mid-air, both hands simultaneously press the side buttons of the external Silk web launcher.
Although he can shoot Silk naturally, this is an extra artifact that Mr. Stark and his crew installed for him!
"Try the upgraded spider web, you multi-legged monster!"
Whoosh whoosh!
Two clumps of Silk, crackling with electricity, shot out and split into two electric nets in mid-air, accurately covering Doctor Octopus's two tentacles.
"Zzzzz!!!"
A high-voltage current instantly travels across the contact.
Doctor Octopus let out a painful groan, and his two tentacles immediately went out of control, hanging stiffly down.
"Well done!"
Peter seized the opportunity.
First, it shot out a spider Silk, which stuck to the chandelier above the reactor.
His body then blurred through the air, passing directly over Doctor Octopus's head and landing in front of the reactor control panel.
The artificial sun had expanded to its limit, and the surrounding control consoles were glowing red-hot.
This situation could trigger a massive explosion at any moment.
"The main power supply line must be disconnected!"
Having made his decision, Peter stretched out his hands, grabbed the two thumb-thick superconducting cables tightly, and pulled them outwards with all his might.
"No! What are you doing! Stop!"
Upon witnessing this scene, Doctor Octopus let out a desperate roar.
In desperation, he manipulated the remaining mechanical tentacles to smash Peter's back recklessly.
Bang!
The tentacle slammed into Peter's back.
The kinetic energy absorption module restarted.
But because of the close proximity and the great force, Peter still felt a dull pain.
Oh my back!
Despite the pain, he did not let go.
"Disconnect it...!"
Peter roared, his muscles bulged, and the auxiliary power of his suit was fully activated.
Click!
Peter ripped the two superconducting cables off, sending dazzling sparks flying in the laboratory.
The reactor core, deprived of its power supply, let out a mournful cry of despair.
The raging artificial sun flickered a few times before slowly extinguishing itself, turning into a dull mass of scrap metal.
The strong magnetic field in the laboratory disappeared instantly.
The objects that were sucked into mid-air fell to the ground.
The crisis is over.
Half of New York was saved.
Peter collapsed to his knees, panting heavily.
However, the shutdown of the reactor completely enraged Doctor Octopus.
His life's work, his pride, was destroyed by this guy.
You ruined my dreams! You ruined the world!
Doctor Octopus broke free of the electric grid, his four tentacles flailing wildly across the ground.
A pair of bloodshot eyes stared intently at Peter, filled with deep-seated hatred.
I'm going to kill you! I'm going to tear you to pieces!
boom!
Doctor Octopus stopped attacking Peter because he couldn't maneuver properly here.
So he manipulated his tentacles and smashed the laboratory wall.
Amidst a flurry of bricks and dust, Doctor Octopus burst out of the building and onto the bustling streets of New York!
"Oh no! The outside is full of civilians!"
Peter, without taking a break, immediately shot out Silk and chased after the large hole in the wall.
The streets of New York were in complete chaos.
A monster with four huge mechanical tentacles on its back suddenly fell from the sky, scaring pedestrians on the street into scattering and running away.
Several cars that couldn't brake in time collided, causing a chain-reaction car accident.
The sirens blared.
Several patrol cars from nearby quickly arrived at the scene.
The police officers opened the car door, raised their guns, and pointed them at Doctor Octopus in the middle of the road.
"Don't move! Drop your weapons and surrender immediately! Otherwise, we'll shoot!" the sheriff in charge shouted hoarsely.
"A swarm of annoying flies."
Doctor Octopus gave them a cold glance.
"Fire!"
Bang bang bang bang!
A hail of bullets rained down on Doctor Octopus's tentacles.
But for the high-strength titanium alloy tentacles, a pistol bullet is like a tickle.
Doctor Octopus simply waved his tentacles twice and blocked all the bullets.
Sparks flickered on the tentacles, leaving not a trace.
"What... what kind of monster is this?!"
The police officers swallowed hard in despair when they saw the unharmed Doctor Octopus.
"Now, it's my turn."
Doctor Octopus sneered.
A tentacle suddenly extended and plunged directly under the chassis of a police car parked nearby.
Then, to the horrified gaze of the police...
The police car was lifted into the air by that tentacle!
"Go to hell!"
Doctor Octopus smashed the police car violently towards the police officers!
"Run!"
The police were terrified.
Just as the police car was about to crash into the crowd...
Whoosh whoosh!
Several thick Silk descended from the sky and stuck firmly to the police car.
Peter grabbed the Silk mid-air, using the building as a buffer to change the police car's flight path and land it steadily on the open ground.
"Phew, that was close."
Peter landed on the roof of the police car and waved to the officers.
"Officer, leave this to me, you guys quickly disperse the crowd!"
Upon seeing Spider-Man appear, the police breathed a sigh of relief and quickly organized passersby to evacuate.
When Doctor Octopus saw that it was this guy who had ruined his experiment again, his anger flared up instantly.
You dare come here to die!
"Damn Spider-Man! I have no grudge against you, why are you stopping me?!"
In a fit of anger.
Doctor Octopus, controlling his tentacles, charged forward, stepping on cars and streetlights along the roadside.
Peter a deep breath and charged towards Doctor Octopus.
A man and a strange creature engaged in a fierce battle on the streets of New York.
This time, with the help of the suit, Peter fought with ease.
AI Anna continuously analyzes the attack trajectory of the tentacles and provides the best evasion route.
Peter was like an acrobat dancing on a knife's edge, nimbly weaving through the attack of the four tentacles.
The mechanical claw slammed into the ground, creating large craters in the road.
Peter seized the opportunity, leaping onto a tentacle and running at top speed, quickly closing in on Doctor Octopus's body.
"Gotcha!"
Peter raised his fist, ready to knock Doctor Octopus unconscious with one punch.
But Doctor Octopus reacted extremely quickly.
He manipulated another tentacle, slamming it hard into Peter's abdomen.
Bang!
The kinetic energy absorption module has once again proven its worth.
Peter took the hit head-on, using the recoil to somersault in the air before landing on a traffic light pole not far away.
"Warning: Uninsulated energy transmission lines exist at the joints of the target tentacle. It is recommended to use high-voltage electric Silk to directly strike this area, which can cause a short circuit and paralysis." Anna gave the advice for a fatal blow.
"Receive."
Peter raised his wrist and locked onto the connection point of the tentacles on Doctor Octopus's back.
That was a fatal weakness.
As long as this electric shock Silk hits.
The high-voltage current would directly destroy the motherboard of the mechanical tentacle and also severely damage Dr. Otto's brain through the nerve connections, rendering him completely unable to resist.
Peter placed his finger on the launch button.
Simply press the button, and the battle will end.
However, just as he was about to pull the trigger...
Doctor Octopus turned his head.
By the light of the street lamps, Peter saw Dr. Otto's face.
That face was no longer one of madness and cruelty.
After the anger and fierce battle, Otto's original consciousness seemed to awaken for a moment.
His face was covered in sweat and dust, and his brows were furrowed in pain.
His eyes held a deep sense of confusion and struggle, as well as a fear of losing control.
" Peter... good boy..."
It was as if a faint voice was echoing in Peter's mind.
That was this morning, when Dr. Otto patted him on the shoulder and praised him as a genius—that was his kind expression.
He was my mentor, a great scientist who was willing to dedicate his life to solving the human energy crisis.
The reason things have turned out this way is simply because of an accident during the experiment, simply because those damned tentacles have taken control of him!
Peter's finger stopped on the button.
He hesitated.
His heart softened.
He couldn't bring himself to deliver a fatal blow to such a respectable elder.
If the high-voltage electric shock had destroyed Otto's brain, he might have become an idiot or even died.
This is a moral bottom line that Peter, as Spider-Man, cannot cross.
No... I can't do that.
Peter gritted his teeth in pain, his wrist shifting slightly.
In that brief moment of Peter's hesitation...
The mechanical tentacles keenly detected Spider-Man's weakness.
"Go to hell!"
Doctor Octopus's vision was once again filled with madness.
But instead of attacking Peter, he manipulated his two tentacles to smash into a building!
Rumble!
The building's pillars were smashed, and debris rained down on the civilians who hadn't yet evacuated!
"No!"
Peter horrified.
Ignoring the need to attack Doctor Octopus, it immediately changed direction and shot out countless spider Silk.
These Silk wove into a huge net in mid-air, tightly catching the falling rubble and glass.
"Run! Get out of here!"
Peter used all his strength to pull on the spider web, his arm muscles trembling violently from the excessive force.
Seriously speaking, the combined weight of these fragments exceeded Peter's own strength limits.
If it weren't for the protective suit, he definitely wouldn't have been able to hold them back in the past.
While Peter was rescuing people...
Doctor Octopus gave him a cold look and manipulated his four tentacles to quickly climb up the building next to him.
In a few leaps and bounds, he disappeared into the pitch-black night.
Peter only loosened the spider web after all the civilians had been safely evacuated.
A shower of rubble crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Peter stood amidst the devastation, looking in the direction where Doctor Octopus had disappeared.
The evening breeze blew by, dispelling people's panic.
Peter lowered his head, looking at his hands that were trembling slightly from exerting too much force, and felt a deep sense of self-reproach and confusion.
"If I had been more decisive... if I had been as ruthless as Mr. Luca..."
Peter muttered to himself.
He possessed Stark technology in his suit, giving him power enough to crush his opponents.
However, he did not have a heart strong enough to match that power.
He let a dangerous monster go.
This monster could bring even greater disaster to New York at any time.
"What... should I do to make this right?"
The lonely Spider-Man stood on the streets of New York, lost in a long silence.
