Chapter 31
"Absolutely don't hold it backward?"
Jessica heard this warning, held the small stick horizontally, and then pressed a switch on it.
*Zzz—!*
A blue brilliance shot out from one side of the small stick, the plasma extending to a length of more than a meter, emitting a faint magnetic buzzing sound.
"Could this be..."
Jessica put the knuckle duster back into her thigh strap, then raised this brilliance and slashed down at Connors’ launch device.
Without any resistance, like cutting tofu, the launch device was instantly split in two, emitting sizzling sparks.
"Cool, it really is a light saber!"
After Jessica was excited, she asked Gwen strangely, "Eh? By the way, where did Li get this kind of thing?"
Gwen tilted her head. "He said a friend gave it to him." ===== CHAPTER 75 =====
Max was in a very irritable mood now.
Ever since he was saved by Cindy last time, he had hope for living; he was obsessed with that girl.
Max thought Cindy was a superhero like Ghost-Spider.
He became a fan of Cindy and started searching frantically for her news on the internet.
Only after searching online did he find that, except for that one time she saved him, there were no news reports related to Cindy.
Max was unwilling to accept this.
Thinking about her day and night, that girl became his only belief for living.
In his pathological state, he started bragging online that the girl who saved him was the real superhero.
Compared to her, Ghost-Spider was nothing.
Such remarks naturally received attacks and insults from the vast number of Ghost-Spider fans.
So Max’s mood became even more depressed.
At work, he was like a walking corpse, and his boss and colleagues gave him another wave of mockery.
Finally, in a moment of distraction.
He accidentally fell into a pool full of genetically modified electric eels; some chemical biological agents happened to be nearby and were also brought down.
Mixed together, under various reactions—the mutation happened, and he became an Electro-man who could absorb and release electricity.
The powerful strength gave Max the means to vent his dissatisfaction at will, and he began a massive slaughter!
The boss who stole his credit?
Kill!
Colleagues who made him dissatisfied in the past?
Kill!
Pedestrians passing by on the street?
Kill!
Rats crawling out of the sewer?
Kill!
Kill them all!
Max’s current state, simply put, was that his eyes were red with killing.
After the police bullets passed through his body without causing the slightest damage, he realized—he seemed to be invincible already.
Then what was there to be afraid of?
Kill whoever he wanted!
"All of you, go to hell!"
Under the raging thunder, people fled in panic, crying and wailing, praying for someone to come and save them.
But the police now couldn't even protect themselves, let alone ensure the lives of civilians.
"Wuu, someone save us!"
"Where are the superheroes? Where are the superheroes!"
"Spider-Man, and the female knight! Why haven't they come yet!?"
"News shows they are handling the Lizard incident in another district!"
"Oh my god! Then aren't we finished!"
"Why are there monsters everywhere! What is wrong with this world!"
Someone had just sat in their car to flee when Max casually struck them dead with a powerful bolt of electricity.
A deep sense of despair shrouded this street.
"Superheroes?
Let me see who is calling me."
*Bang!*
The gold-red armor landed in front of Max.
Tony Stark, Iron Man, appeared.
Tony aimed his palm repulsor at Max, energy building up. "Little light-man, you should go to prison."
*Crackle—!*
Max raised his hand and sent a thick blue bolt of electricity, blasting him away. "Superheroes? Nothing more than this."
[Sir, the suit’s battery is full, and there is some overflow, please release this energy as soon as possible.]
"Jarvis, you said it’s full?"
Tony looked at the small electric sparks popping up on his armor from time to time, a bit confused.
Is it that fierce?
[Yes sir, please release it as soon as possible.]
"Fine."
Tony’s chest fired a thick beam of light, attacking Max. "You taste this too!"
"It’s useless, I am invincible!"
Max was careless and didn't dodge.
And then he was blasted away by Tony’s big beam of light, smashing back into the Osborn building.
Only then did he realize—although he could be immune to physical attacks like bullets, he wasn't without weaknesses.
He couldn't ignore energy attacks!
In a few breaths.
Every light in the Osborn building suddenly went out one by one!
Max, who had gathered more current, rushed out. "Bastard—!"
He was bluer, and stronger!
Tongues of electricity spat from Max’s body, wrapping toward Tony; this time he wanted to change tactics.
Not a direct attack, but trying to dismantle this turtle shell.
Because he discovered he could control electrical appliances!
There was electricity in all directions.
Even though Tony’s Iron Man suit was fast, it couldn't avoid it in time, and the current drilled into the armor.
Max and Tony were connected by current; he was invading, he was controlling!
[Sir... detected... *zzz*...]
"Jarvis!"
Tony shouted anxiously; he felt the armor was becoming less and less under his control.
Although because of emergency insulation measures, he inside wouldn't be harmed by the current.
But Jarvis had already crashed, and next, he would become a lamb for the slaughter.
"Mr. Stark, you’d better add an anti-electricity template to your suit next time."
The black Knight Spider suit flashed by.
Ye Li used his standard entrance method, falling from the air and kicking toward Max. ===== CHAPTER 76 =====
He was also wrapped in current; the opposite anti-electricity directly bounced Max away!
"Black Spider!"
Tony, freed from the current, was overjoyed and quickly started to wake Jarvis, while reminding Ye Li, "Be careful, this guy is immune to physical attacks!"
"I know."
Ye Li’s tone was calm, and he walked slowly toward Max, not dodging or avoiding the incoming current.
The blue electric arc struck his black windbreaker but couldn't advance an inch. ===== CHAPTER 77 =====
