Chapter 188: New Box Office Record! Spider-Man 2's Opening Weekend Explodes!

Another twist?

Over a thousand moviegoers inside the Los Santos Galaxy Theatre were now clenching their fists and curling their toes.

Their hearts hung suspended, staring tensely at the screen.

Spider-Man 2 had clearly already entered its final act, yet suddenly delivered a twist!

The Green Goblin was completely consumed by hatred, not only intending to use nuclear fusion to destroy the entire city, but also seizing Gwen Stacy to kill the person Spider-Man loved most.

"Yahahahaha—little bug, I'm curious which one you'll choose?"

Choose Gwen, and the entire city would soon be nuked flat, with Gwen not necessarily surviving.

Choose to save the city, and watch helplessly as Gwen dies?

At the critical moment, Professor Otto came to his senses.

Seeing the reaction about to spiral out of control, with even cutting the power unable to salvage it, Otto chose to sacrifice himself.

"Go save her. I've got this here."

Peter, tears in his eyes, looked deeply at Otto for a moment, then resolutely shot a web and shot into the sky like an arrow.

Otto used his mechanical arms to dismantle the fusion device and carried it to the bottom of the Hudson River.

Boom!

In the explosion's firelight, Peter had already flown to the top floor of the Osborn building.

The Green Goblin, gripping Gwen in one hand, hovered in the air above the building.

"Ohhh, little bug, you forced my hand."

"Harry! This isn't you!"

"No, this is the real me! You took the person most important to me away from me! Today I'll let you feel this too!"

"Nooooo!"

The Green Goblin let go, Spider-Man leapt up to catch Gwen, but was interfered with by the Goblin; the two tangled in midair, and Gwen was still falling!

At the critical moment, Spider-Man wrapped a web around the Goblin's neck in midair and fired another web to hang him against the wall.

Then he dove at full speed to save Gwen.

However, the fight just now had taken too much time; Gwen was already one step ahead, about to hit the ground.

At the very last moment, Peter and Gwen gazed at each other from afar.

Peter truly couldn't make it in time; in desperation, he fired one last web, trying to save Gwen.

That strand of web, like Peter's hand, threaded through the falling debris, straining with everything it had to save his beloved,

and yet remained so impossibly out of reach!

At this moment, everyone held their breath, not daring to blink.

The tension had been stretched to its absolute limit.

However...

Just as with every accident, everything suddenly happened far too fast.

The web stuck to Gwen, and under gravity's pull,

Snap—

When Peter caught Gwen again, his most beloved could no longer open her eyes to look back at him; she lay quietly in his arms and was suddenly gone.

"Huh?"

"No!!!"

"God! No!!"

Many comic fans in the theatre, despite knowing this classic scene was about to happen,

when it truly happened, were still deeply shaken, clutching their heads in disbelief.

"Gwen!"

Peter especially couldn't accept the scene before his eyes; the complex expression of remorse, self-blame, and heartache nearly drove him mad.

Who could watch a loved one die right before their eyes?

Xu Can's acting was on full display at this moment, moving everyone without exception!

……

Amidst sighs and quiet sobs in the theatre, the scene cut to Gwen's funeral.

Peter had gone completely numb; before Gwen's gravestone he seemed like a stone statue, already disconnected from the world.
