Chapter 879: Starry Splendor (XXI)
In the Avengers base, Peter put down the controller, sighed, then grabbed the Pikachu beside him, rubbing its cheeks, and said, "If it weren't for you pressing randomly, how could the language system have been broken?"
Pikachu wrinkled its face and said, "Isn't it because you are too bad? We could have clearly fought two rounds with him. You broke a tentacle when you landed just now!"
"Don't you have your own controller? Why do you have to come and grab mine? You..." Peter had just said this when he discovered his phone ringing. He picked up the phone and then said:
"Hello? Gwen? Are you out of class? Ah, are you Spider-Gwen? Sorry, I heard wrong. What? You said you encountered trouble? Doctor Octopus? Oh, I see. That, I am a bit busy now..."
"It doesn't matter. The Doctor Octopus in our world is just a researcher, very easy to deal with. His weakness is his tentacles, especially the third tentacle on his left side. As long as you can destroy that tentacle, his center of gravity will be unstable. Yes, you do as I say, doing it will definitely be no problem..."
After hanging up the phone, Peter picked up the controller again and said, "Spider-Gwen also encountered Doctor Octopus? But we only released three robots? Which one did she encounter?"
"Let me see, Noir Spider-Man is No. 1 Doctor Octopus, Amazing Spider-Man is No. 2 Doctor Octopus, Spider-Man 2099 is No. 3 Doctor Octopus..."
"Then which one did Spider-Gwen encounter??" Peter scratched his head in confusion. Instantly, he was stunned, then his expression stiffened as he put down the controller. The entire Avengers base echoed with his roar:
"No!
Gwen!
Don't go provoke him!
That's the real deal!
"Uh..." Spider-Gwen fell heavily to the ground, let out a cry of pain, and looking at the approaching tentacles, she gritted her teeth, climbed up, and swung up with spider silk again, arriving on the roof of a building.
Spider-Gwen looked at Doctor Octopus Otto, who was looking up at her. She let out an astonished cry, "What's going on?? His mechanical arm..."
"The third tentacle... the third tentacle..." Spider-Gwen landed again, a feint attack toward Doctor Octopus's right leg. Doctor Octopus instinctively turned to avoid it. Spider-Gwen wrapped a strand of spider silk around the third tentacle on his right side, then gave it a hard pull.
With a "zzzt" sound, the spider silk broke.
"Little girl, what on earth are you trying to do?" Doctor Octopus asked.
He didn't recognize at all that Spider-Gwen was also a Spider-Man. After all, her dress and Spider-Man's were too different, and her gender was also different.
Moreover, Doctor Octopus knew that Spider-Man was Peter, and also knew that Peter wouldn't be fighting on the street at this time. Therefore, he didn't realize at all that his opponent was a Spider-Man, and thought it was another street hero.
"I don't know what kind of bumpkin you are from. My set of tentacles is registered with S. H. I. E. L. D., and I have the legal power to use it to go to work in New York. I see you aren't very old, can you go home and do your homework if you have nothing to do, and stop wandering around the streets? No one needs your help here."
"Do you think I will believe you?" Spider-Gwen stuck to the building beside her, staring coldly at Doctor Octopus and said, "You just want to realize your evil plan, I will stop you!"
Doctor Octopus rolled his eyes. He cut off the spider silk fired by Spider-Gwen at will. Spider-Gwen let out an astonished cry, "What material are your tentacles made of??" How could it cut my spider silk??
"Don't you even recognize molten steel?" Doctor Octopus: "Metal that produces flame-like patterns in the sunlight is molten steel. Which university did you graduate from? You don't even know this?"
"Also, you wouldn't be that Spider-Man's imitator, right? But even if you are imitating, you should improve your technical strength. What is your spider silk made of?"
"Uh, a compound of fiber and mucus..." Spider-Gwen answered instinctively.
Doctor Octopus immediately "psh" and said, "Don't tell me this is a product of biology and chemistry. Even if you don't really know Spider-Man, you should know that his spider silk is actually metal."
"How is that possible?!" Spider-Gwen retorted instinctively, "I have tried using soft metal, but their flexibility is completely not..."
"Completely not? You are too arbitrary! If your own technical level is not enough, you dare to make such an absolute conclusion? You are far worse than the real Spider-Man!"
"He researched new alloy spider silk himself, and in that project on symbiont research, he also invented a living spider silk..."
"Forget it, why am I telling you so much? You are just a clumsy imitator. Get out of the way, I don't want to fight with a little girl."
After finishing, Doctor Octopus was about to leave. Spider-Gwen said very indignantly, "I am not an imitator, I am Spider-Man! My suit and spider silk are my own research results, and I am also a gold-medal researcher in New York. What right do you have to say I..."
"Then I can only say that the person who wants to destroy New York is not me, but you." Doctor Octopus said mockingly while walking forward, "If the gold-medal researchers now are all at your level, I will never think about leaving the solar system in my life..."
"Don't go! Come back! I don't believe your nonsense at all! What alloy spider silk, living spider silk, unless I have seen it with my own eyes... don't run!
On the top of Stark Tower, Peter covered his eyes and looked around, saying, "Where is Spider-Gwen? My God, she must not fight with Dr. Otto, she might be beaten to death!"
"Dr. Otto's tentacles are made of molten steel, and they have already been updated to the 17th generation. If she gets hit once... where are they?"
"God, what is that?!"
Peter let out a shocked shout, "That big lizard... that shouldn't be the robot we released, right??? Pikachu! Pikachu, can you hear me?! Did we make a Lizard Man robot?... No??"
"Dr. Connors! Dr. Connors! Stop!
Stop fighting!
Peter immediately swung with spider silk and chased toward the huge lizard monster. Before he could get close, he heard Dr. Connors's angry roar:
"Spider-Man!
! Why aren't you staying in the lab at noon, wandering around on the street?!
My lab wall has been hit by more than fifty strands of spider silk in two hours!
The windows are all covered!
What on earth!
Are you doing?!
!"
Peter's eyes widened, and the Amazing Spider-Man, who was fleeing for his life being chased by the huge lizard monster, shouted even more heart-rendingly:
"What's going on?!
The Lizard Man of this universe!
! Why!
Is he so big?!"
While running, he turned his head to look at Lizard Doctor, which had a world of difference from the Lizard Doctor of his world.
The Lizard Doctor that Amazing Spider-Man had seen was only two meters tall and weighed only two hundred-plus kilograms. Although he was indeed much stronger than Spider-Man, he could barely be considered a humanoid monster.
And now, this Lizard Doctor chasing behind him was nearly ten meters tall, with an appearance resembling Godzilla, and his huge shadow could cover half the street.
"Doctor! Calm down!" Amazing Spider-Man tried to persuade him as he used to.
In his universe, Lizard Doctor later turned back into a human, only that he would turn into a lizard when his emotions were agitated, so Spider-Man often persuaded him as the main thing. As long as the doctor could turn back into a human, the battle would end.
"It is unrealistic to turn everyone in New York City into lizards! You can't do this! We can work together to find a solution, I promise I will..."
With a "swish," a tail swung over. Amazing Spider-Man jumped up on the spot to dodge, but when he turned his head, he saw a pair of huge vertical pupils staring at him, full of anger. Amazing Spider-Man took two steps back and stretched out both hands, saying, "Doctor!
Calm down!
Discovering that his comfort had no effect at all, Amazing Spider-Man thought about how to deal with this huge monster, but just at this moment, another voice came:
"Doctor! Doctor, look at me! I can explain! I wasn't wandering around on the street, we two... you can understand it as clones! I am still doing experiments well in the lab. The experiment two days ago will have results tonight..."
Lizard Doctor turned his head, looked at the other figure standing in the air, stopped his steps, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Spider-Man? Are you Spider-Man? Then he... is he your imitator?"
"I say Spider-Man, you shouldn't be wandering around on the street every day, creating so many imitators, New York has been messed up by you!" Lizard Doctor pushed his huge glasses and said, "You shouldn't destroy the city appearance of New York, putting spider webs everywhere. Even if they are biodegradable, they will add a lot of trouble to the workers cleaning the glass curtain walls. This is wrong..."
Peter hung on the wall with spider silk, his height just right beside Lizard Doctor's eyes. He was dejected and scolded, but at this moment, Amazing Spider-Man rushed over, wanting to take Peter away. He shouted, "Run! He wants to eat you!"
Peter pushed him away and said, "Stop messing around, how could the doctor eat me?"
At this moment, Lizard Doctor just happened to lean his head over, wanting to distinguish the difference between the two of them.
Amazing Spider-Man retreated hard, but behind him was the glass curtain wall. He stuck to the surface of the glass curtain wall like a pancake, turned his head somewhat tremblingly to look at Peter, and said, "Are you sure?! I can even see his teeth gaps!
!"
Peter waved his hand indifferently, jumped directly onto Lizard Doctor's shoulder, turned his head to wave at Amazing Spider-Man, and said, "Hurry up, let's go back to the lab and talk."
Amazing Spider-Man stood on the spot, swallowed, shook his head hard, and said, "No, no, I'll walk myself..."
Half an hour later, Peter appeared dejectedly in the Avengers base. Pikachu jumped onto the table and said, "What's wrong? Scolded again?"
Peter sighed deeply and said, "Dr. Otto and Dr. Connors scolded me together. They said that with so many Spider-Men, I didn't tell them, delaying their experimental progress..."
"Now, most of the Spider-Men have been caught by them to the lab. Our plan to use Spider-Men and artificial villains to attract media attention is going to fall through again."
Peter rubbed his eyebrows and said, "However, the public opinion war against mutants is still continuing. They want to grab the handles of mutants at every moment to smear their image..."
When he said this, his expression sank, and he continued, "I suspect they might be waiting for a big accident. As long as they can force such an accident, launching a comprehensive public opinion war is a matter of course."
"You didn't go ask how the mutants plan to respond?" Pikachu jumped to the opposite side of Peter and said.
"Now, the Avengers in New York have a very average relationship with mutants, including me. If we ask rashly, it might arouse their vigilance and further intensify the conflict." Peter shook his head and continued, "S. H. I. E. L. D. is now a pile of loose sand. There are no channels for communication and exchange between many forces, and there is no trusted third party to do justice for them. This should have been S. H. I. E. L. D.'s work..."
"Who do you think will take over S. H. I. E. L. D.?" Pikachu asked.
Peter shook his head again and said, "Coulson sacrificed, Natasha was kicked out of the center of power, Hill fell into the vortex of intelligence. Nick Fury's direct descendants definitely won't be selected. As for who exactly will be chosen..."
Peter wanted to sigh to express his pessimism. He felt that since the original S. H. I. E. L. D. Director had already fallen by a cold shot, the election of the next S. H. I. E. L. D. Director would probably inevitably have shady deals. Those who fired the cold shots wouldn't let the person Nick Fury intended to succeed.
But just at this moment, the phone suddenly rang. Peter picked up the phone, and then his surprised voice sounded:
"What did you say?? Let me be the Director of S. H. I. E. L. D.?!" ===== CHAPTER 880 =====
"What did you say?? You want me to be the Director of S. H. I. E. L. D.?!"
