Chapter 693

At this time, in the bushes outside the warehouse, Ward narrowed his eyes. He heard those two gunshots, but didn't hear any screams or other movements of dodging bullets. This was not normal.

He intended to observe the situation, but within a few minutes, more intense gunshots broke out in the warehouse, and screams came one after another. Ward couldn't continue to wait anymore. He could hear that among the people who screamed, there were also his old acquaintances.

Although Ward now had special abilities, at this time, he didn't use his extraordinary power for the first time, but ran toward the warehouse quickly like an ordinary person, came to a window, squatted down, and poked his head to look inside.

The battle in the warehouse was very intense. Agents holding various weapons were besieging a man.

This man's figure was very agile, and his strength was great. More importantly, all the bullets would be absorbed by him after hitting him.

Long-range weapons were useless at all, but the melee agents couldn't gain an advantage either. This man obviously had very strong fighting skills.

He threw a punch, hit an agent in the face, knocked him to the ground, turned around and threw an elbow, forcing Coulson, who was approaching, away, bent down to dodge the swing of another female agent, waved his hand and threw a punch, knocking her down.

Ward could see that he was a professional boxer, and he also knew that those agents couldn't hold on for long.

Ward flipped through the window and entered. At this time, all the agents, including Coulson, were knocked to the ground.

"Who are you?" Ward asked first. He took out the pistol at his waist and pointed it at the man, as if he completely didn't know that he would absorb bullets.

That man didn't answer. Ward walked toward him quickly. The bald man was not afraid at all, contracted his core muscles, stabilized his center of gravity, threw a punch quickly, and then threw a punch at the yellow light.

Yellow light appeared around Ward's body. That was the yellow light power that remained in his body before. Instantly, he flashed behind the man and knocked him away with one punch.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man turned around and wanted to run, but just when he ran near the back door of the warehouse, he saw the 084 box close at hand.

He hesitated for a moment, and then rushed over at an extremely fast speed, wanting to take the box and escape. But just at this moment, a black shadow pounced over, and Coulson punched the bald man on the shoulder.

Coulson's sneak attack achieved good results. The bald man staggered twice, seemingly stimulated by pain. He let out a roar, his whole body's muscles tense, and he knocked Coulson away with one punch.

But he was still not satisfied, jumped high, and smashed an elbow on Coulson's chest. The sound of ribs breaking was clearly audible. Coulson let out a scream, and blood sprayed out from his mouth and nose.

Ward flashed directly behind the bald man and grabbed his neck, then threw him to the ground. At this time, he could see clearly that there was a big hole in Coulson's chest.

This bald man with special abilities was not an ordinary person. His bare-handed attack was enough to kill an adult like Coulson.

Ward lowered his head, reached out his hand, and covered Coulson's shoulder. However, yellow light energy is different from green light energy. Although it can heal wounds on a Yellow Lantern, it has no way to replenish vitality for ordinary people.

Ward is not a real Yellow Lantern either. He hasn't been trained and doesn't know how to use this energy. Therefore, even if he showed anxiety and kept outputting energy to Coulson, Coulson's life was still passing away.

Finally, Ward used up all the yellow light energy, but it only slowed down the deterioration of Coulson's wounds. Other agents climbed up and carried Coulson to the car.

The car drove toward S. H. I. E. L. D., but Coulson is not a Yellow Lantern, and he has no experience in controlling this energy. He doesn't know how to let this energy repair his body, and doesn't even know how to save this energy.

The yellow light energy brings not only positive effects. This kind of energy will bring fear to people.

Lying in the car, Coulson saw those patients with painful faces in one ward after another walking out like walking dead. They let out screams and kept questioning him.

Those bloody scenes that should have made him feel fear played in his mind constantly. After the wounds that should have led directly to death were congealed, they brought even greater pain. The double torture of spirit and body made Coulson moan: "... Kill me, kill me quickly..."

Coulson can be called the only friend Ward knows in S. H. I. E. L. D. He certainly wants to save Coulson, but as Coulson's will to survive gradually weakens, the yellow light power begins to dissipate.

When the car drove to a place less than one hundred meters away from S. H. I. E. L. D., the last trace of yellow light dissipated without a trace, and Coulson completely lost his vital signs.

Ward punched the car door hard. He and other agents ran off the car quickly and then carried Coulson's corpse to the S. H. I. E. L. D. base. Nick saw this and immediately cleared all unrelated personnel, only letting Natasha and Ward stay.

When Schiller arrived, Ward was already holding a needle, preparing to inject Coulson.

"Wait, don't use the drug first, let me see." Schiller stopped Ward and walked up. He checked Coulson's corpse with gray mist, but unfortunately, he indeed had no vitality anymore.

It is not that if Coulson's body is repaired, he can come back to life. Ordinary people's souls will go to the place they should go at the moment of death. If it is at the moment of just dying, perhaps there is a possibility of pulling him back, but several minutes have passed, and Coulson's soul doesn't know where it has gone. Wanting to chase it back, I'm afraid it's impossible.

However, in previous experiments, GH series drugs have been proven to be able to resurrect people. But because Schiller was busy using Knull's energy to contend for the Bat Totem with Solus for a period of time, he did not observe this resurrection process at close range.

Discovering that Coulson had indeed died, Schiller gave up his position. Ward took the GH drug and injected it into Coulson's body.

In the first few seconds, there was no change. Schiller attached magical energy to his eyes, and then he observed that Coulson's soul floated back from a void, and then actively returned to his body.

Staring at the place where Coulson's soul appeared, Schiller felt a trace of familiar aura—that was Death.

Schiller discovered that the principle of Coulson's resurrection was the same as the believers of the Egyptian pantheon. Death kicked him out of the death kingdom, so he was resurrected.

However, it is impossible for Coulson to have a deal with Death, so the only problem might be appearing on this needle.

The raw material of the needle, which is the descendant of that Kree spy, of course, it is also impossible to have any deal with Death, but the Kree Empire, one of the three major empires of the universe, might not be so.

The next day, Schiller obtained the box marked as 084 from Ward. After he opened the box, he discovered that a strangely shaped item was lying quietly inside.

Although it is called an Obelisk, it looks more like a trophy. Through the plot of the TV series, Schiller knew that the Obelisk has corrosiveness. If touched with bare hands, it will cause very serious consequences. However, rubber still has an insulating effect on the corrosion of the Obelisk.

Schiller picked up the prepared rubber gloves, put them on, and then reached his hand into the box. The moment he touched the Obelisk, Schiller felt that trace of familiar aura again.

This kind of aura, he had felt on another item before, and that was the scale obtained from the ship of the underworld before.

Schiller took the Obelisk out of the box and examined it carefully. On the other half of his face that was not blocked by the Obelisk, he revealed a malicious smile.

His eyes looking at the Obelisk were not like looking at a treasure, but like looking at a... new mobile phone that had just arrived.

At the same time, in the base where the Spider-Army was located, the Spider-Men were ready to go. The Amazing Spider-Man said, "Even if the base of the Inheritor family has disappeared, we must find their traces; otherwise, more Spider-Men will be harmed."

"We cannot act separately like before; otherwise, we will be broken one by one. We must investigate in the form of a squad..." The Amazing Spider-Man scanned all the Spider-Men, and finally, his gaze fell on Peter.

"Then, which squad should I go to?" Peter rubbed his hands, appearing eager to try. The Amazing Spider-Man just wanted to open his mouth to let him join his squad when Otto Parker walked up directly, blocked Peter with his tentacles, and said, "He is mine."

The Amazing Spider-Man stepped forward, stared at Otto Parker, and said, "What are your intentions?"

"A reckless man who only knows how to rush, matched with a silly boy who has power but doesn't know how to control it, you guys will cause a big mess," Otto Parker retorted mercilessly.

"Wait a minute! Don't quarrel! Otherwise... you guys rock-paper-scissors?"

Peter blocked between the two. Both snorted coldly. Finally, the Amazing Spider-Man took a step back first and said, "Forget it, you follow him, but remember, if he asks you to do bad things, don't go..."

"Rest assured, I am Spider-Man." Saying this, Peter walked behind Otto Parker and then left with Otto Parker.

Spider-Gwen walked forward, looked at Peter's back, and said, "He is really a lucky kid, isn't he?"

The Amazing Spider-Man rarely showed a trace of depression. He said, "I hope he can cherish the current time. Perhaps, soon he will understand that this is the best time in his life."

Peter, who left with Otto Parker, didn't hear what they were saying, but soon, they arrived at another universe through the teleporter. This was the temporary stopping point of the Spider-Men led by Otto Parker.

Simply arranging the mission, Otto Parker returned to his room, and before leaving, he also called Peter.

After coming to the room, Peter looked around curiously. Otto Parker looked at Peter and said, "Now, you should introduce yourself, right?"

"Introduce? But didn't I introduce myself before? My name is Peter Parker, codenamed Spider-Man, and I just started college recently..."

"What I want to hear is not these." There were no outsiders here. Otto Parker's tone became cold. That was a voice that didn't belong to Peter Parker at all. He said, "Tell me your resume from childhood to adulthood, including everyone you know, your relationship with them..."

"I'm not a criminal, why are you interrogating me?" Peter said with some dissatisfaction: "You wanted to sneak up on me before, I asked you if we had a grudge, and you said no, but I feel that you just have a grudge against me."

Otto Parker was silent for a moment and said, "Yes, from the first moment I saw you, I didn't like you."

"Why?" Peter asked very puzzled.

"You only need to answer me one question..." Otto Parker stepped forward, face to face with Peter, and then asked him: "... Have you ever lost anything?"

"What do you mean... have you ever lost anything?"

"All important things, all important people, all things you want to accomplish... have you ever lost these things?"

Peter also looked at Otto Parker. He stood silently in place, seemingly thinking, and then shook his head very firmly, saying, "No, the things important to me, the people very important to me, are all by my side now. The things I want to accomplish have all been accomplished, and the plans that are being planned are also proceeding very steadily..."

Otto Parker suddenly laughed and said, "It seems that you came at a very good time. This will be your last good memory."

"I don't understand what you are talking about..."

"You have to answer me one more question." Otto Parker lowered his head slightly and then asked: "Who said the sentence 'with great power comes great responsibility' to you?"

"It was..." Peter paused, seemingly recalling, and then he said: "It was Doctor Schiller, a good doctor, my teacher..."

"You are about to lose him."

Otto Parker took two steps back. Although wearing a mask, Peter could still see the mockery on his face. Peter said a bit angrily: "What are you talking about? Are you cursing him?"

"No, it's not me cursing him, but us, all Spider-Men, are cursed." Otto Parker's tone became low, and his next words made Peter feel like he was struck by lightning.

"With great power comes great responsibility, this is our curse."

"All the people who let us understand this truth, who have said this sentence to us... are all doomed to die."
