Chapter 220 Weak
"I kept talking because I was nervous. I tried everything I could to get Peter back to normal. My fighting style relies on spider webs and skill, so it's destined to be like a cat playing with a mouse—"
Gwen had countless things she wanted to explain, but facing Harry Osborn, she couldn't utter a single word, and could only weakly say:
"Peter had already lost control—Spider-Woman was just trying to help us—"
Harry Osborn ignored Gwen's whispered words and continued:
"I've always thought that if I had done something back then, I could have prevented the tragedy from happening. I underwent military training and experienced life and death – now I have the ability."
"The Spider Woman is still at large, and I am the only one who can stop her."
In the night sky, a green, skateboard-shaped flying machine silently hovered in front of Harry Osborn. He leaped onto it, thinking, "Whatever I have to do next, whatever happens—it's all for Peter."
Gwen fled in panic, not even having the courage to face the "Green Goblin".
In her nineteenth-floor apartment, where rent was overdue, Gwen took off her punk denim jacket covered in spikes and chains and curled up on the sofa with her knees drawn up to her chest.
"I've been pretending to be a hero, but a real hero doesn't fail and doesn't let anyone get hurt."
Throughout, Connors stayed by Gwen's side, and Gwen also regarded Connors as her only confidant at the moment, whispering to him.
"I once deliberately pushed the lives of an entire planet to the brink of extinction so that the wheels of history on one planet wouldn't turn in another direction," Connors comforted him.
He was telling the truth, referring to the fact that he deliberately attracted the "anti-monitors" to devour Earth-3 in order to facilitate the Evil Eternity event.
Unfortunately, this statement didn't have much of a safety effect, and Gwen wearily rested her head on her knees:
"I've been fighting, but the enemy is getting stronger, and I—I'm getting more and more tired."
"I can help you modify your body, making you a life form that never gets tired." Connors took out the "Mother Box".
Gwen glanced at the "mother box" in Connors' hand:
"It needs a real superhero, not me."
The joking attempts at comforting Gwen were completely ineffective. Connors retrieved the "Mother Box" and then suddenly placed his free hand on Gwen's forehead.
"Relics from Dreams" will be used immediately. Connors does not intend to extract anything from Gwen's memories, but simply to make a part of the memories more vivid.
Just like when he awakened "Lord Superman".
There is no trace of Connors in Gwen's memory, but that doesn't matter. Connors is not looking for himself, but for everyone who has been saved by "Spider Gwen".
"Did you know? Those superheroes are busy fighting monsters from aliens, other dimensions, and other realms."
"They are very strong, but Spider-Gwen will never be irreplaceable because you are the only one in this city willing to stand up for ordinary people."
Memories of those Gwen had saved flooded her mind, and Connors' voice slowly rose in her ears:
"I know that after Peter Parker died, you learned what 'with great power comes great responsibility' means."
"But it doesn't just mean you have to fight and win endlessly; it means you have to learn to accept failure and then become stronger."
Gwen slowly raised her head, and her dull eyes seemed to gradually regain their light, but the overwhelming victory of "Doctor Octopus" during the day did not restore her confidence because of these few words.
"I once went to a world where the cities were darker than New York, and there were endless gangs of enemies."
"There's a madman who calls himself the Joker, a scarecrow who tries to crash a tanker truck full of poison gas into a stadium at the drop of a hat, and Bane, strong enough to break a person's spine with his bare hands—"
"But no matter how powerful the enemy, the person I know will find their weakness after experiencing repeated failures and defeat them completely."
"Although he knows me and others who are far more powerful than him, he has always relied on his mortal body to fight fear with fear and punish darkness with darkness."
"He experienced the deepest pain, yet he was never defeated. He was knocked down countless times, but each time he rose again."
"He silently protects his city, even though no one knows it."
"He is Batman."
This "Batman" does not refer to a single person, but rather to the shared characteristics of the "Lord Batman" from Earth-3 and the "Batman" from Earth-Zero, and even includes some of the characteristics of "Night Owl".
Connors rarely speaks so seriously for such a long time, but Spider-Man is one of his favorite superheroes, and he has faced a similar situation to Gwen in the comics.
Connors couldn't bear to see Gwen give up on herself and fall into depravity, so he wanted to help her. Moreover, whether Gwen could fight the "Sinister Six" was also related to his game with "The Watcher" Reed.
In Connors's narration, a black figure without a specific form gradually takes shape in Gwen's mind, and the name "Batman" is firmly etched in her memory.
After a brief moment of thought, she leaped up from the sofa. "Oh no! My precious battle suit!"
She threw her battle suit into a trash can in the alley, and now she could only pray that it hadn't been picked up by a homeless person. Fortunately, Connors was there, and that didn't happen.
"Telepathy" blocked that trash can.
Half an hour later, Gwen carefully washed and dried the Spider Suit that she had retrieved from the trash can.
She rummaged through drawers and cabinets to find needles and thread, intending to mend her battle suit, which had been battered and bruised by "Dr. Octopus".
Connors didn't stop her, but watched as Gwen, after a flurry of activity, finally put on her tattered battle suit with seven or eight patches on it again.
Gwen, now fully dressed in her battle suit, showed no disgust at the patches on it. Instead, she rushed to Connors, wrapped her arms around his neck, and buried her face in his shoulder.
"Thanks."
It was all unnecessary. Connors gently patted Gwen's back, and the atmosphere between the two began to change.
A few minutes later, the clothes on the two still embracing were gradually removed, and Connors hoisted Gwen's legs onto his shoulders:
You said, "Please come in."
Gwen shyly covered her face and turned away.
With the support of the "biofield", Connors unleashed his superb physical abilities without restraint, successfully defeating Gwen.
Connors quietly left after Gwen had fallen asleep.
It was still the sewers of New York, and the "black smoke cape" moved without wind, slowly disappearing behind them.
The Gotham-style trench coat, created through "polymer chain mimicry," gradually twists and becomes increasingly form-fitting.
The black patterns on the surface of the clothes resembled a spider web.
The black trench coat turned red and blue, and Connors completed the transformation from "The Watcher" to "Spider-Man" in a very short time.
He continued to use "polymer chain mimicry," mimicking part of Gwen's physiological structure to allow his wrists to shoot spider silk.
Using the spider silk to swing, Connors' agile figure quickly traversed the sewers and arrived at the experimental site where "Doctor Octopus" was located.
"I need you to be defeated by Gwen alive, but that doesn't mean I'll let you go."
Connors said, raising his hands and pressing his middle and ring fingers against his pulse.
Spider silk, like bullets, bombarded "Dr. Octopus," leaving his experimental equipment in a chaotic mess.
Then Connors grabbed one of the mechanical arms that "Doctor Octopus" was extending towards him and flicked his wrist up and down rapidly.
Like ripples on water, the wrist's tremor caused the mechanical arm to tremble, which in turn was transmitted to "Doctor Octopus," causing the guy who had broken Gwent's defenses to slam into the sewers, leaving him dazed and confused.
The walls on all sides were smashed to pieces by Doctor Octopus's body, and mud and rubble flew in the small space, accompanied by Doctor Octopus's screams.
puff!
Finally, after waiting for Connors to stop, Doctor Octopus opened his mouth and spat out seven or eight teeth that had been knocked out.
He looked at Connors with a twisted expression:
"Spiders again?!"
"That's right."
Connors said, clenching his fist as he charged at the other man.
Half an hour later, "Octopus Master," whose head was swollen like a pig's head after being beaten by Connors even though he tried to control his strength, lay in the sewage in the sewer with no will to live.
On the only intact sewer wall next to him, white cobwebs clung together to form a word:
"So weak."
