Chereads / Spiderman: I Wanna Die / Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Battle for Gwen

Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Battle for Gwen

[You have been eliminated, and you cannot obtain a resurrection quota. Reward: Strength +0.1 tons.]

[9 restart opportunities remaining. Restart?]

Back at the massive spider web, he exhaled slowly and clicked [Restart].

Restarting the resurrection match is his real cheat! Moreover, each restart provides a small reward. These small increments will eventually allow him to catch up with the other Spider-Men.

A mysterious power surged into his body. Sharo felt his bones crackling, his body becoming more flexible, and his muscle density increasing significantly.

His previous strength was a mere ton. While a 0.1-ton increase might not mean much to other Spider-Men, for him, a tenth of an attribute boost was quite significant.

With his increased strength, his overall physical attributes would also improve passively. This reassured Sharo, knowing he wouldn't lose balance and collapse due to a sudden spike in a single attribute.

If he wins this resurrection match, ten tons of strength would be enough to escape the Green Goblin's pursuit.

After this trial, he learned that contestant Peter Parker was the Lizard, whose strength was terrifying, at least over twenty tons, with formidable defense.

Though his speed was a bit slower, if Sharo's spider-sense didn't react quickly enough, he wouldn't be able to dodge the attacks.

Meanwhile, the Chitauri soldiers' firepower was also fierce. Sharo could barely handle one or two, but definitely not ten.

As for Tony...

"An Iron Man with a nanotech suit. Could it be Tony from Avengers 3?" Sharo guessed.

That would be troublesome.

The firepower of the nanotech suit was enough to make Tony the MVP of the resurrection match.

If it was Iron Man from Avengers 4, who snapped his fingers, even Thanos would have to suffer.

Sharo stood no chance.

He estimated that if the other won this resurrection match, they would reach Avengers 6.

He had to keep trying.

In a blink, he was swallowed by the void again, arriving in the New York of The Amazing Spider-Man universe.

[Scene: The Amazing Spider-Man Universe]

[Task: Go to the clock tower and save the falling Gwen.]

The second resurrection match began with the same system prompt.

Sharo landed on a high-rise curtain wall. Since the match hadn't started yet, he couldn't leave the spot.

Recalling the last resurrection match, he guessed that Tony and the Chitauri soldiers, who were faster, were farther from the clock tower.

The Lizard Parker's speed was relatively slow, yet he arrived at the clock tower almost simultaneously with Sharo. Their "spawn" locations were obviously closer than everyone else's.

Everyone arrived at the clock tower at about the same time, so it shouldn't be random.

Thirty seconds later, the countdown ended.

Sharo flipped off the high-rise, the wind whistling past as he shot webbing from his wrists and swung down into a dark alley.

This time, he didn't plan to go up first.

However, as soon as he landed in the alley, he saw a disheveled couple hiding behind a garbage can, cursing at the shadow in the dark.

"Shit, there's a pervert watching us."

"Get lost, or I'll break your little buddy."

Sharo: "..."

Well, this is getting interesting.

Then, several firelights roared overhead.

In the alley, Sharo glanced at the still-cursing couple and shot webs to pull the garbage can in front of them.

"Bastard, what are you doing!"

"Damn you, I'll flush your eyes down the drain..."

"Swish!"

More webbing shot out, and the couple's clothes vanished.

Whistling, Sharo wrapped their clothes in webbing and hung them on a ten-meter-high wall.

"Goodbye, you naughty couple. Remember to cover your faces next time."

With that, he leaped onto a high wall and swung away with his webbing.

Hurrying to the clock tower, Sharo kept his eyes on the flickering firelight ahead.

In the night sky, Chitauri soldiers fired energy beams at Tony, who easily dodged them.

Trailing behind, Sharo quickly fell behind.

"Oh, Spider-Man!"

"No, Spider-Man is still in Electro City."

Soon, amid the exclamations of passersby, Sharo landed leisurely on a residential building near the clock tower.

By then, the clock tower had already become lively.

"Peter, we're best friends, but even so, you won't give me a drop of your blood."

"So, hahaha, you should taste despair too!"

On the rooftop, a monstrous-looking Harry sneered at Peter Parker, directly throwing Gwen off the roof.

"No!!"

Peter Parker exclaimed, leaping off the clock tower without hesitation.

Webs shot out repeatedly, catching the rapidly falling Gwen.

"Boom!!"

Before Peter Parker could grab Gwen, a pumpkin bomb exploded, fiery light raging, melting the web, and sending Gwen plummeting with the heat wave.

"Hahaha, despair, Peter!" Harry laughed.

"No!!"

Peter Parker's eyes widened. Just as he was about to break through the explosion, Harry blocked him, preventing timely rescue.

At that moment, a green lizard monster swiftly climbed the clock tower, leaping towards Gwen.

"Professor Curt?" Peter Parker exclaimed.

Professor Curt was supposed to be...

But just as Lizard Parker was about to catch Gwen, firelight roared through the night, and Lizard Parker was blasted straight into the clock tower by fierce firepower.

"Boom!!"

The clock tower exploded, countless tiny gears flying, and Gwen's figure gradually disappeared from Lizard Parker's sight.

"No..."

The next moment, Tony swooped in from the sky, the nanotech weapons floating behind him moving at an alarming speed, quickly catching up to Gwen and holding her up.

"Was that a lizard?" Tony blinked.

"Sir, I've found information for you—the lizard is a reptile belonging to the Lacertidae family..."

"Friday, you're funny again."

"Thank you."

Seeing the nanotech suit diving down, Harry angrily threw a bunch of pumpkin bombs.

"You weirdos can't save her."

"No."

Peter Parker's face changed. He shot webbing while leaping, but could only catch two of the pumpkin bombs.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

The clock tower exploded continuously. Peter Parker was swept away by the blast wave, the massive clock slowly tilting and then falling toward Tony.

"What a hassle."

"Jarvis—no, Friday."

"Understood, sir."

Nano-metal wriggled on Tony's shoulder, launching several micro-missiles to bombard the falling clock.

"Boom."

Debris rained down. Just as Tony was about to shield Gwen from the sharp glass, Chitauri soldiers attacked.

Laser weapons fired continuously, forcing Tony to dodge while controlling his nanotech suit to unleash fierce firepower.

For him, dealing with these minions was easy.

But Gwen didn't have much time.

"Bang!!"

Suddenly, the clock tower roared, and Lizard Parker smashed through the wall, leaping out again.

This time, Lizard Parker finally caught the falling Gwen, smiling.

"I won't let you die."

In Lizard Parker's arms, Gwen looked at the monstrous face in fear, but she noticed a trace of sorrow in his eyes.

It was a strange look, as if...

"Thud!!"

The next second, the floor of the clock tower shattered. In a spider-web-like pit, Gwen in Lizard Parker's arms bled from her seven orifices. His body hadn't cushioned her fall.

"No..."

Watching Gwen convulsing and vomiting blood, Lizard Parker roared, holding his head and howling in grief.

On the clock tower's balcony, Sharo, who arrived late, remained silent.

Everyone rushed to save her, but she ended up dying more tragically.

Never mind, restart!
