"Report! Big trouble!"
A figure rushed in, stumbling.
Monitor turned to look, only to find it was Boroz, who always enjoyed provoking him. However, Boroz looked quite miserable at the moment.
He was covered in mud — nothing unusual for lizards, as they sometimes liked to use mud for grooming.
But his tail was broken! This was what Monitor was truly concerned about.
Although Boroz often provoked him, attempting to challenge his position, Monitor didn't dislike him. For the combative lizard people, the spirit of the strong above and the weak below was ingrained in their blood.
On the contrary, Monitor rather appreciated Boroz. He belonged to the stronger group of lizard people, even stronger than his brother Gecko. This could become an asset for the future of the Lizard People's kingdom. Therefore, he tolerated Boroz.
"Boroz, what happened?" Monet asked in a deep voice.
Broz's face was full of panic. "A very powerful human intruded into our territory and killed Volco and the others!"
Boroz's panic was an act. Even if he was scared, he had been running for over ten minutes, long enough to be out of danger. How could he still look like this?
He deliberately pretended to be in such a state, just to exaggerate and increase Monitor's level of concern.
However, his clumsy acting successfully deceived almost all lizard people, including Monitor.
Monet suddenly stood up. "Damn it, what did you say?"
Boroz repeated, "A powerful human entered, killed Volco and the others, and said he wants to rule our kingdom!"
Rage surged within Monitor. He slammed his hand on the stone bench beside him, shattering it. "Brazen! I want to see what he's capable of!"
However, Gila beside him noticed something suspicious and asked, "Boroz, did the human really say that?"
Seeing Monitor's expression and actions, Boroz was overjoyed, feeling like everything was under control. 'Foolish Monitor, the Lizard People's kingdom is mine, hahaha!'
Hearing Gila's question, he immediately replied, "Yes!"
Gila was puzzled. "Why would a human want to rule us lizard people?"
Although she had learned some human writing and language from the garbage thrown into the sewer, and had also picked up some "equality for all" ideas, she knew that humans and lizard people could never be equal. And a human coming to rule lizard people was even more impossible.
Unless...
Gila suddenly imagined a possibility.
Excited, she exclaimed, "Could it be... Father is here?!!"
Gila's suspicions and conjectures were just a couple of sentences, but they sent Boroz's emotions on a rollercoaster ride.
In that instant, he was genuinely scared, thinking his lie had been exposed.
Gecko walked to the side, watching Boroz with confusion. "Hey? why are you trembling all over?"
Boroz hastily explained, "Oh? Oh, it's because I just thought of something sad."
"What sad thing?" Boroz wondered.
Gila said, "He must be grieving for Volco and the others. He's truly a kind lizard person."
After saying this, Gila's gaze at Boroz changed slightly.
In the lizard people community, kindness and concern for comrades were rare qualities. This made Gila feel somewhat fond of Poros.
"Well, yes," Boroz was struggling to come up with a response and quickly followed Gila's lead.
Gecko laughed heartily, "It's just a few fools who died. What's there to be sad about?"
Monitor was somewhat dissatisfied with Boroz's weakness but didn't express it. He clapped his hands on the bench, "Silence!"
The lizard people quieted down.
Monitor said, "A human dares to invade our territory. Let's go kill him!"
"Roar, roar, roar!" The lizard people instantly roared.
"Rooar Rooar, ack *cough*"
At this moment, a different voice sounded.
As Monitor and others turned their gaze, they saw someone in red and blue tight-fitting combat attire hanging upside down on the sewer ceiling!
The entire place fell into silence.
Suddenly, it erupted into chaos.
"A human, it's a human!"
"Damn humans, how dare they show up!"
"Kill him, kill him!"
The lizard people began to roar, and some lizard people closer to Spider-Man were already approaching him.
Monitor didn't stop them. He also wanted to see how strong this human referred to as "very powerful" by Boroz really was.
Gila was somewhat disappointed, "It turns out Father didn't come to find us. Run quickly, they will tear you apart!"
Saying this, Gila recklessly rushed towards Spider-Man.
On the other side, Spider-Man had already begun to display his might.
He reached out, grabbed a lizard person, and then forcefully threw them towards others. Several lizard people fell like bowling pins.
Bang!
In mid-air, Gila was punched down by Gecko and then stepped on by him.
Monitor, looking down from above beside Gecko, coldly glanced at Gila, "My dear sister, just stay put!"
"Monitor, what are you doing!" Gila was shocked. "All living beings should be equal! Why hurt him!"
"Because he is a human," Monitor leaped down from the high platform, landing on the ground, grinning, "and I am the lizard prince destined to rule over humans!"
"Such words.."
A teleportation portal opened, and Mark's figure appeared near Monitor and the others.
Monitor and Gecko were both taken aback, "There's another one?!"
Bang!
A figure was thrown back like a cannonball from a distance and casually caught by Mark.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Boroz.
However, at this moment, Boroz seemed to be on the brink of death.
Gwen's figure also appeared not far away.
Perhaps because this was the center of power in the lizard people's kingdom, the environment wasn't as bad, so Gwen decided to join the fun.
"Man-eating-lizards, they should be killed directly." Mark muttered.
As he spoke, the hand holding Boroz transformed into an electric form in the midst of Boroz's terrified expression.
In an instant, the massive electric current turned Boroz into a piece of charred meat, crispy and even emitting a faint meaty aroma.
"Kill them!" Monitor immediately ordered all the lizard people.
At the same time, he himself pounced on Mark.
His speed was quite fast, leveraging the explosive force gathered in an instant with his formidable strength. In the blink of an eye, he crossed several meters and arrived in front of Mark.
However, when his claws swiped through, there was no hint of resistance!
The human had already disappeared from the original spot!
"Uh—"
Boom!
A muffled sound accompanied by a grunt.
Gecko, who had been stepping on Gila, was thrown out.
Mark stood beside Gila, extending his hand, "You're called Gila, right?"
Gila's eyes were full of astonishment and confusion, "Who are you? A human? But how can humans generate electricity?"
Mark smiled, "There are humans who can generate electricity."
"Roar! You bastard!" At this moment, Gecko and Monitor shouted, once again lunging at Mark.
Without lifting his head, Mark reached back with one hand, caught Monitor, and then smashed him onto Gecko.
The brothers rolled into a tangle again.
As they attempted to get up again, Gwen leaped down from above, and with a kick from each foot, she made them roll on the ground in pain, momentarily losing their ability to rise.
Watching their actions, Gila finally understood the current situation. She grabbed the hand Mark extended, pleading, "Can you spare them? They're not actually bad people!"
"They are indeed not bad people; they are bad lizard people," Mark said.
"Uh," Gila looked somewhat dumbfounded.
She felt that the man in front of her was messing with her.
Mark chuckled and said, "Actually, your existence was an accidental result of an experiment, so now I'm going to restore this accident to its original state."
"Accident?" Gila was stunned. "Really? Our birth was just an accident?"
"No, you're talking nonsense!" Monitor, who was suppressed by Gwen, suddenly roared, "We are the lizard people created by the great Father, a new species destined to replace humans and dominate this world!"
Mark ignored Monitor's ranting and explained the accident of Dr. Conners's experiment.
After slowly narrating everything, Gila and the others fell into a stupor.
"Really... it's just an accident, and we were born by accident?" Gila felt like her worldview was shattered.
Monitor also remained in a daze for a moment, then shouted angrily, "No, I don't believe it!"
"Dr. Conners," Mark ignored him, raised his voice, "Have you made up your mind?"
"Ah," Dr. Conners, with one arm, appeared on a nearby platform with the gene bomb ready.
He walked to the edge of the platform, looking down at the many lizard people below, his gaze extremely complex.
Finally, he locked eyes with Monitor.
Upon seeing him, Monet became overjoyed.
He looked at Dr. Conners, shouting, "Father, Father, come out quickly, get rid of them! These humans dare to harm our great lizard people; kill them!"
Dr. Conners looked at him, shook his head indifferently, "No, I am not your father. I hope my children are active, cheerful, and optimistic, and you are obviously not, except for you, Gila."
He looked at Gila.
Before coming here, Mark had talked to him.
He told him about Gila's existence and the differences between Gila and other lizard people.
Afterwards, Mark asked him if he wanted to keep Gila.
At that time, Dr. Conners didn't give a direct answer; he wanted to see Gila first.
