"Whoosh whoosh," several sounds ripped through the air, rocket missiles exploded on Peter's original location. Peter, suspended in mid-air, noticed that Shiller's figure had appeared in the skies.
His palms had disappeared, replaced by numerous rockets that blasted off. One explosion after another burst open in the air.
Spider-Man, who had just evaded the gravitational pull, could only fall under Earth's gravity. Caught off guard, all the rockets directed at them landed, instantly wounding more than a dozen people.
The injured Spider-Men, plucked by Otto's mechanical tentacles, were casually thrown to one side. Otto, having just repaired his tentacles, joined the battlefield and then shouted:
"Captain Universe Spider-Man! Lend us your power, just like when we fought the Successor Family! Quick!"
Captain Universe Spider-Man frowned, clearly noticing the difficulty of the opponent before him. He closed his eyes, concentrating his power. A white light started to blink one by one around the Spider-Men.
The Spider-Men, now empowered by the Power of Eternity, once again had the upper hand in aerial combat. They swiftly lunged towards Shiller, but he always vanished from his original spot with incredible speed, then launched a surprise attack.
Fortunately, the Spider-Man's spider-sense always enabled them to dodge his attacks in advance. Peter noticed that Shiller, who was constantly attacking in mid-air, also frowned, obviously realizing that a simple sneak attack could not hit Spider-Man.
Suddenly, he paused in mid-air, made another strange hand gesture, and the Spider-Men heard him yell: "Necromancy·Yatagarasu!"
In an instant, all the Spider-Men's spider-senses rang again. Numerous large birds with sharp beaks appeared in mid-air and began to fly at a high speed.
The Spider-Men could still dodge the birds using their spider-sense. Still, once they had to dodge, the formation was bound to be disrupted. At this time, Peter and Captain Universe Spider-Man had already attacked Shiller from the side.
One person was even faster than them, Dr. Octavius Parker with his four tentacles. Using the spring-loaded function of the tentacles, he jumped high from the rooftop of Parker Industries and rushed towards Shiller.
But when he got close to Shiller, he saw a cold smile on Shiller's face.
Dr. Octavius wanted to avoid, but it was too late. Shiller advanced forward, grabbed his arm, and in an instant, the energy given to him by Captain Universe Spider-Man was drained completely.
Tossing Dr. Octavius to an opposite building like discarding rubbish, Shiller rushed upwards at a high speed until he reached above the sunset.
A black rod appeared in his hand, thrown lightly upwards, numerous shadows appeared around him. As he plunged downwards incredibly rapidly, numerous black rods shot out like arrows.
"Doctor Shiller!" Peter shouted, "No! Don't do this!"
The Spider-Men frantically dodged, but the Yatagarasu birds summoned earlier had already blocked most of the space available for evasion in the air. In an instant, several Spider-Men were pierced through their limbs by the incoming black rods, losing their combat capabilities.
Shiller turned his head; under the afterglow of the setting sun, his purple eyes were emotionless. The falling Spider-Men looked like rainfall. Peter kept looking into his eyes, full of disbelief.
Shiller turned back, no longer looking at Peter. Peter saw him make another hand gesture. Soon, the splendid afterglow of the sunset darkened, and a large cloud gathered over New York City.
As raindrops fell, Peter felt a chill. Then he saw that a familiar figure had disappeared into the horizon.
Captain Universe Spider-Man heaved a sigh of relief but soon after, his face grew increasingly heavy. Flying back to the roof of Parker Industries, the Amazing Spiderman helped Spider-Woman transfer the injured.
"After the last battle with the Successors, 3 Spider-Men died, 26 Spider-Men were injured, and it took a lot of effort to recover. This time, more than 40 Spider-Men have been injured, all with through injuries. It's unclear when they will recover."
Captain Universe Spider-Man sighed. At this time, Otto came over and said, "The report was wrong. Thousands of deaths due to exhaustion. Who told you that his special ability is only turning into gray mist?"
The Captain Universe deeply furrowed his eyebrows, then looked at Peter. Peter was helping Spider Gwen remove a black rod from an injured fighter. Seeing Captain Universe Spider-Man's gaze, Peter said:
"Don't look at me. The Shiller I know can also only turn into gray mist and know some magic at best. I've never seen these abilities that he used today."
"In that case, we might as well go and face Solus ourselves!" Spider Gwen stood up and said: "This is not fair at all!"
"Shiller will not harm Spider-Men. If we don't provoke him, he won't come to us. Even if we aggravate him, he shows mercy and even leaves on his own. So why don't we confront Spider Legion's archenemy instead?" Gwen was visibly dissatisfied.
"But... If we let him continue like this, the whole cosmos will collapse due to declining stability."
"You still believe in what Eternity is saying?" Spider Gwen raised her voice, "He didn't even tell you what abilities the enemy possesses! How do you know he's not lying to you?"
"I..." Captain Universe Spider-Man shook his head helplessly, looking at the injured soldiers lying on the ground, he also began to waver.
According to Dr. Octavius Parker, this Shiller had obviously been in this universe for a while, but no instances of harm had occurred. If they hadn't provoked him intentionally, he would just stand on the top of a building watching the sunset, not bothering anyone. Compared to the Successor Family that was hunting down Spider-Man across the multiverse, he could be considered to be very safe.
Originally, Captain Universe Spider-Man thought that Solus was a very powerful enemy. If they could exchange Solus's death by helping Eternity complete some tasks, it would be worthwhile.
But now, it seemed that fighting one Shiller was exhausting enough. According to Eternity, there were countless Shillers across the multiverse waiting for them to catch. Who would capture whom was still uncertain.
"In any case, let's return to base first, rest, and then discuss the strategy."
"I'm going back to my universe." Peter turned around and said, "There's work that needs doing."
After saying this, he activated the transmitter and left. The Amazing Spiderman shook his head and turned to Captain Universe Spider-Man, "You shouldn't have doubted him just now. Adolescents are always extraordinarily sensitive."
Captain Universe Spider-Man shook his head and said: "It was just an instinctual reaction. When he returns, I'll apologize to him."
And Peter, who had just returned to his universe, heard Stark shout:
"Catch him quick!!!!!!!"
