Chapter 139: R: The Great Bat Incident (Part 17)
"Listen, Peter, relax, take a deep breath... right, don't let that kind of emotion control you, you need to calm down..."
Peter's chest heaved fiercely, he breathed heavily, as if he wanted to suck all the air around him dry.
After a while, Shiller let Peter sit back in the chair. Shiller looked into his eyes and comforted him, "Don't recall that picture, all of that is just your fantasy."
"No..." Peter covered his eyes painfully and said, "I have seen such pictures in my spider-sense before, and they all happened!"
"But at least it hasn't happened yet. What you should be thinking about now is how to reverse this situation." Shiller tapped the table, attracted Peter's attention back, and said, "I think you have seen yourself in danger in this ability more than once, but you have all reversed this situation with your own strength. This time will definitely be no exception."
Peter's Adam's apple trembled, and he hurriedly said like grabbing a straw, "Really? Right... that's right! The dangers I sensed before were all avoided by me! This time it must be the same!"
As he spoke, he stood up from the chair and started pacing in place, saying, "It doesn't matter, as long as I watch Mr. Stark, I keep watching him, or don't let him go to the high building, then it must be fine..."
Shiller reminded him, "Do you still remember the analysis method I taught you before? You can start not from the result, but from the cause. Why not think about what will bring this danger to Stark?"
Peter paused, then made a thoughtful expression and said, "This is indeed a bit strange. Why would Mr. Stark take off his armor? And it's still in the process of fighting..."
Then, without Shiller continuing to remind him, Peter said, "Right, I saw it once before. Mr. Stark seems to choose to eject from the armor when facing huge danger."
"But who can bring him this kind of danger?" Peter was very puzzled. He said, "And, even if he ejects from the armor once, wouldn't there be other armor to catch him? He has so many armors, there's always one that can fly over, right?"
"And besides his own armor, we are also present. Why didn't we catch him?"
Peter became more and more anxious. Suddenly, he said as if he had a sudden realization, "It must be that Bat God! That's right, it must be him. Besides him, I can't think of any other reason!"
Peter said quickly, "Those crazy bats, although a bit dangerous, absolutely cannot make everyone exhausted. If Mr. Stark really encounters danger and no one goes to rescue him, it proves that all of us have been restrained."
"Then only that mysterious Bat God guard could possibly do this."
Finally, Peter ran to the chair, took his backpack, and said to Shiller, "Doctor, sorry, I don't have the energy to continue the psychological consultation. I have to find a way to solve this damn Bat God."
As he spoke, he ran out. Shiller saw Peter run out of the building from the window on the second floor of the mansion, and then started looking for Stark's figure on the street.
Stark was currently in a pile of humanoid armors, doing the final debugging for them. Seeing Peter run over, Stark greeted him. He pulled Peter's shoulder directly and pointed at those armors to show him, saying, "Look, I made adaptive modifications to these 15 armors. They also have wings on their backs to assist in flight, making them less likely to lose balance when attacked from the air..."
Peter said very anxiously, "Mr. Stark, just now my spider-sense told me that you will face huge danger in a moment!"
Stark was stunned, looked at Peter, and said, "Danger? What danger could I have? I prepared a full 100+ armors. Not only here, but all the way from Stark Tower to the Brooklyn Bridge, there are armors everywhere. No matter what danger I encounter, they can respond to me in the first instance."
"No!" Peter explained his spider-sense principle to Stark very anxiously, and emphasized that all the pictures that appeared before had happened. Steve heard Peter say this, walked over from the side, crossing the sandbags on the ground.
"Falling from a high building? Very strange, why would we run to the top of a high building? Even if we fight those monsters in the air, there's no need to stand on the top of the building, right?"
Stark touched his forehead. No matter who it is, when hearing the news that they might die in the next few hours, they would feel quite pressured. However, his thinking was still clear. He said to Peter, "I very much agree with your idea. If there is anything that will threaten my life in the next battle, it must be that mysterious Bat God."
"Doesn't summoning that thing require some ritual? Just like what we saw last night, perhaps we can destroy the ritual."
Peter told the two of them what he heard at the vampire command post before. Steve frowned and said, "Then for him to descend, there must be a location, right? We can set up an ambush first."
Peter shook his head and said, "Since there is no ritual, perhaps he can descend anywhere, it just depends on the summoner's mood."
"I don't think we should waste too much time on this. Peter, you also said that all these pictures were avoided by you in various ways before, which shows that this is just a warning, not a prophecy that must happen. I think, when that time comes, I will also have a way to avoid it."
Peter still wanted to say something, but Stark's tone became quite heavy: "We all know that the battle situation tonight is not optimistic. The number of crazy bats has increased several times. Once they launch a full-scale attack in an organized way, the entire battle line will be very intense."
"If at this time, we divert our energy to deal with the death picture that might come, the ground troops will definitely suffer heavy losses."
Stark looked into Peter's eyes. Peter saw a firm emotion in his eyes. Stark said, "Don't forget what we came here for. If it were to avoid danger, then I should just hide in Stark Tower, right?"
"I have no necessity to rush to the battlefield and come to the front line. But since I have done so, it proves that I am prepared to sacrifice just like these ordinary people on the front line."
Stark's tone sounded very relaxed, but Peter and Steve both knew how much panic and pressure hearing an accurate death prophecy about oneself would bring.
Steve tapped his shield and said, "Now I admit, you are indeed a warrior, Iron Man."
Peter pursed his lips. He looked at the horizon. The last trace of dusk was swallowed by darkness, and the sky became completely dark. He felt as if he had returned to that cabin of Matt's, watching these good people get injured, bleed, watching them be incomparably painful, yet helpless.
That group of bats began to show off in the gradually arriving darkness. A kind of angry emotion swallowed Peter. It shouldn't be these heroes who should hide and be cautious. From beginning to end, Peter firmly believed that good people should have good rewards.
Since that's the case, then he would let these monsters that should have been hiding in the darkness roll back to their dark corners.
Peter secretly vowed in his heart, Bat God, no matter where you are a god from, no matter if you possess god-like power, I will make you look good, and let you roll back to where you came from.
Soon, a sharp whistle sounded. Director George fired three shots into the sky, took the walkie-talkie, and shouted, "Everyone get ready!!! The battle is about to begin!!!!"
Natasha lay behind a bunker on the roof, looking at the situation near the bridge with binoculars. She commanded into the walkie-talkie, "Clint, stay still for now, listen to my orders. Your current position is quite good, mainly snipe those big bats leading the charge."
"Daisy, you come down from that position first, Clint doesn't need protection for now, you go behind the first line of defense on the second street, use your shockwave ability to ambush..."
One order after another was spread quickly, all levels of units were ready, and the superheroes were waiting.
The Brooklyn Bridge had been beaten into ruins in the fierce battle the night before, and even the surrounding alleys were severely damaged.
The street was scattered with rubble and debris, as well as shrapnel left from the night before. The lightbulbs used for lighting made the layered defensive fortifications reflect a faint luster in the dark night. The eyes of the logistics robots also glowed with faint light, echoing with the guns and artillery weapons in the hands of the armed-to-the-teeth combat personnel.
Accompanied by the takeoff of the first bat, on the other side of the Brooklyn Bridge, the skyline seemed to rise with a black tide. Countless bats flickered with red eyes and flew up, instantly obscuring all the sky, and even the moonlight dimmed for it.
Everyone looked up at the amazing momentum of the bat army. Steve said, "We still underestimated their madness."
While the two were discussing, Stark saw a figure swinging with spider silk, falling directly in front of the front line.
Stark and Steve were both shocked. Steve shouted, "Spider-Man!!! What are you doing?!! Come back!!! That's very dangerous!!!!!"
That was even further than the first line of defense, almost without any cover and protective measures. Once falling there, he would immediately face the crazy siege of bats in full state.
But Peter acted as if he didn't hear it, and then, the next thing that happened was beyond everyone's expectations. ===== CHAPTER 140 =====
Accompanied by the takeoff of the first bat, on the other side of the Brooklyn Bridge, the skyline seemed to rise like a black tide; countless bats with flashing red eyes took flight, instantly obscuring the entire sky, even dimming the moonlight.
Everyone looked up at the astonishing power of this bat army, and Steve said, "We still underestimated their madness."
Just as the two were discussing this, Stark saw a figure swing past on a spider-web, landing directly in front of the front line.
Stark and Steve were both shocked, and Steve shouted, "Spider-Man!!! What are you doing?!! Come back!!! That's dangerous!!!!!"
That place was even further than the first line of defense, with almost no cover or protective measures; once he landed there, he would immediately face the frenzied siege of the bats in their prime state.
But Peter acted as if he hadn't heard, and then, something happened that exceeded everyone's expectations.
