Chapter 1218: Lizard Man (First update, seeking subscriptions!)
"This kind of power!!!"
"I feel like I can blast through everything; I feel like I can do anything."
"I—am the new God!"
The serum had transformed his body, granting him extraordinary power, but it had also caused his ego to inflate completely.
"You!"
He pointed a finger at Su Quan, his gaze cold and his expression arrogant and hideous as he snarled: "Weren't you going to kill me? Come on, kill me! Kill me!"
"Coward!"
"Chicken!"
"Come on! Come on! Come on!"
This wasn't just ego; this was idiocy!
He roared hysterically, the power within his body growing stronger and stronger, gradually overflowing.
On his face, neck, and arms, his skin gradually hardened, becoming thorny and ugly.
"Rip—"
His expanding body tore through his clothes, revealing more thorny skin.
By this time, everyone could see that something was wrong with him!
The transformation continued.
In just a few seconds, he had turned into a humanoid lizard over two meters tall.
Deep green, hard scales, sharp claws, a massive tail—
A bloodthirsty, hideous expression appeared on the bald lizard man's face, and the moment he opened his mouth, he revealed terrifying, sharp fangs.
"Mon—Monster!!!"
Terrified screams erupted. The few people who had been on his side were so scared their faces went pale; shouting, they swarmed toward the door.
"A little tip on disasters: when a villain or monster appears nearby, the louder you scream and the louder you run, the easier it is to—die!"
Just as Su Quan finished speaking, the lizard man, attracted by the noise, charged over with long strides, grabbing one of them directly in his hand before swinging his tail to sweep back those running toward the door.
With a few thuds, those swept back by the tail either slammed into the wall or landed on nearby tables, rolling off in agony.
"Don't! Don't kill me—don't kill—"
"Boom!"
The unlucky soul caught in the lizard man's hand begged for mercy in terror, but before he could finish his sentence, he was crushed to death.
The violence and bloodshed caused the lizard man to lose his sanity completely; he now had only one thought: to kill everyone within his line of sight!
A massive frame, sharp claws, powerful strength, a huge tail, and brutal intent.
Such a lizard man was simply not something ordinary people, already scared out of their wits, could contend with. After just a few strikes, the only people left alive in the battered laboratory were Su Quan, Felicia Hardy, the Osborns, and Ad.
While others screamed and fled, the Osborns and Ad had wisely hidden behind Su Quan; after all, Su Quan was an omnipotent deity!
"Roar!!!"
The lizard man opened his blood-red maw and let out a terrifying roar at Su Quan and the others.
Su Quan remained calm, his expression composed as he said: "Honestly, I really didn't expect the first lizard man I encountered to be a nameless extra like you."
If this guy could turn into a lizard man, Professor Curt Connors was definitely next; chronologically, Professor Curt Connors should have been the first lizard man.
But he wasn't the first lizard man Su Quan had seen.
"Kill—kill you!"
"Kill!!!"
The lizard man let out intermittent roars, and his long tail whistled through the air, smashing down toward Su Quan with force.
"Bang!"
Ad gripped his gun with both hands, his eyes focused as he fired at the lizard man.
The bullets bounced off the lizard man's body. Feeling the pain, the lizard man swayed slightly, his ferocity fully exposed as he changed his target, ignoring Ad's fire and slamming him hard against the wall with his long tail.
Ad landed and made a vomiting motion, but nothing came out.
Because he had no mouth...
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Regeneration (Lizard Man)"
Su Quan's eyes brightened slightly. The lizard man's abilities primarily included super strength, super defense, super stamina, super speed, super jumping, as well as self-healing and regeneration.
The most powerful of these was regeneration!
The other abilities had already dropped when the lizard man attacked the others earlier.
The lizard man, having knocked Ad away, roared again, his tail retracting and sweeping horizontally toward Su Quan with heavy force.
"Inhale—exhale—"
Inhale, exhale.
A freezing wind of absolute zero invaded, instantly freezing the lizard man into an ice sculpture covered in frost.
"Swish—"
A long blade forged from Adamantium appeared out of thin air. Su Quan glanced back and handed the blade to Harry Osborn.
He didn't need to speak for his meaning to be understood.
Harry Osborn took the long blade, walked toward the frozen lizard man, gripped the blade with both hands, leaped high, and swung horizontally at the lizard man's neck.
"Click!"
"Pfft!"
The Adamantium blade passed through the thick ice, severing the lizard man's head along with the ice.
The frozen head rolled to Felicia Hardy's feet. Felicia Hardy lifted her foot, and her slender high heel stepped down directly.
"Crack!"
The icy head shattered into pieces, scattering all over the floor.
Su Quan smiled at Felicia Hardy and snapped his fingers casually.
With a pop, the lizard man and the other corpses vanished instantly, and the messy laboratory returned to its original state in the blink of an eye, showing no trace that a battle had ever occurred.
"Is it really okay to clean up the scene so thoroughly?"
Felicia Hardy had thought Su Quan let that man turn into a lizard man to frame Professor Curt Connors; she hadn't expected him to clean everything up completely.
"Except for you, no one in this world will remember their existence."
Su Quan didn't take back the Adamantium blade Harry Osborn was holding out. He smiled and said: "This was forged from Adamantium; it's very rare and hard. It's yours."
Harry Osborn expressed his gratitude excitedly.
Su Quan waved his hand and said to Felicia Hardy: "The best way to destroy evidence is to alter reality so that they never existed in the first place."
Alter reality? Felicia Hardy thought of Ad's missing mouth. She glanced at Ad, who was staggering to his feet; his mouth hadn't returned yet, so it seemed he would have to keep trying.
"That man injected the serum and became a lizard professor; Professor Curt Connors also injected the serum, so will he turn into a monster too?" Felicia Hardy asked.
Su Quan nodded and said: "He is the famous Lizard Professor, the arch-nemesis of Spider-Man!"
Come to think of it, Su Quan wasn't quite sure what he was thinking.
Clearly, the company hadn't pressured him, nor had he pressured him himself; he had even told him the drawbacks of the project and had Peter Parker, the key figure, join the project. Why was he in such a rush to inject the serum himself?
