Chapter 139 - Darkened Assault

Just as he was about to signal Steve that it was safe to proceed, his spider-sense instantly triggered, and he spun around, shooting out webs!

A ghostly silent ruling army soldier appeared behind them, his arm pinned to the wall by Peter's webs.

But the soldier simply yanked hard twice, tearing the wall panel out of place!

At the same time, four more figures in black Regime army uniforms appeared at the other end of the corridor.

Peter's spider-sense narrowed sharply, and he immediately posed a combat stance.

—These were the real opponents they had to face: Regime army soldiers who had taken endurance enhancers, their strength comparable to that of mutants.

The battle was triggered in milliseconds.

As Peter's webs fired once more, the red, white, and blue star shield also flew forward at the same time!

A slender, white web stuck to the ceiling, and Peter swung across in a backflip, delivering a powerful kick to a Regime army soldier's chest.

However, the soldier, enhanced by the drugs, had reflexes just as sharp as Peter's.

After being kicked back, he quickly grabbed Peter's ankle as he retracted his leg, dragging Peter hard against the wall.

Peter's back slammed into the wall with a loud "bang."

But he quickly recovered, leaping up and using Steve's returning star shield to propel himself forward.

He shot out a web that wrapped around the Regime army soldier's feet.

Peter skillfully slid along the wall, using the inertia to yank the web, sending the soldier crashing forcefully to the ground.

Meanwhile, Steve was engaged with the other three Regime army soldiers.

He gripped the star shield tightly, holding it horizontally in front of him as he blocked a punch from a soldier charging at him.

The impact on Steve's shield reverberated with a low hum as he quickly raised the shield and brought its sharp edge down hard, striking the Regime army soldier's arm!

A clear crack of bones breaking echoed through the corridor as the soldier recoiled in pain, taking a step back.

Steve was about to advance when he felt a cold gust of air behind him—another soldier's punch.

He swiftly rolled forward, dodging the attack.

At the same time, his shield flew across the smooth floor like a frisbee, ricocheting off the leg of the first soldier and bouncing into the legs of the second. In the blink of an eye, three soldiers were down.

Peter immediately shot a web to catch the flying shield, tossing it back to Steve.

Steve snatched it from the air and quickly turned, just in time to block a powerful kick aimed at his back!

The force behind the kick was enough to split rocks.

Vibranium shield trembling slightly from the impact, the ground beneath Steve's feet cracked under the pressure.

Steve raised his gaze, his blue-gray eyes, misty and shadowed in the light, locking onto his opponent.

—More and more enhanced ruling army soldiers were arriving, and the advance team members had already entered the prison, moving towards their position.

To minimize casualties, Steve knew he had to deal with this batch of enhanced soldiers before the rest of the team arrived.

As Steve prepared to throw his shield again, the lights in the entire corridor suddenly went out!

—It wasn't just the corridor. In that split second, the power to the entire Crab Shell Prison was cut off.

All surveillance cameras, alarms, and communication devices went dead.

In the power core of Crab Shell Prison, Soren crouched in a narrow gap between two generators, his metal spider arms working with precision as he flipped the final switch.

The entire prison descended into darkness, just as planned.

Soren let out a sigh of relief as he emerged from the gap.

The night vision system in his Spider-Man suit provided him with a clear view of the darkness.

He bent down and spoke into the built-in communicator of his suit, "Peter, I've cut the power to Crab Shell Prison. How's the situation on your end?"

"We're holding up well. They can't handle us in the dark. Captain and I are dealing with the incoming enhanced soldiers!"

Peter's side of the transmission was punctuated by the sounds of heavy impacts, indicating a fierce battle was underway.

Soren replied, "Got it. Let the advance team move in. I'll cover them. —I'm cutting off communications now. See you on the plane."

He pressed the deactivation switch on his suit, and the metal armor flowed off him like liquid.

Behind him lay a number of unconscious ruling army soldiers.

He pulled out a small flashlight he had found in Tony's lab, examined the soldiers closely, and selected one with a physique similar to his own.

He stripped off the soldier's uniform and put it on, including the black helmet.

Before leaving the power core, he made sure to reset the password for the entrance to the underground storage room.

With the power cut, Crab Shell Prison was thrown into chaos.

Soldiers receiving orders to reinforce Area F rushed towards it, while inmates in Areas A and B, who had been confined for years, began to stir.

They knew this might be their last chance to escape.

Some inmates began to use their skills to pry open locks or smash cell windows, leaving the remaining ruling army soldiers to confront the prisoners.

In the pitch-black darkness, the oppressive environment kept everyone in a state of heightened tension.

Outside the octagonal cell, several Regime army soldiers suddenly detected the faint rustling sound of fabric.

One of them quickly shone an emergency flashlight toward the source of the sound, but all he saw was an empty corner of the wall.

The conical beam of the flashlight swept through the expansive space, revealing nothing out of the ordinary.

As they exchanged glances and were about to relax, another faint rubbing sound emerged from behind them.

The soldiers immediately turned their flashlights towards the source of the sound, but again, found nothing.
