Beneath New York City, in the sewer system.
In a dimly lit laboratory.
Connors assembled his "Human Evolution" device and inserted a green reagent into it.
He was not in his tall lizard-like form, but his face still had visible green scales, and his pupils were light green.
"Peter, you shouldn't be running around."
Glancing at Peter, who had just returned through the entrance, Connors said, "My plan is about to be put into action. Soon, everyone will become like you and me. Come, help me."
Hearing this, Peter's pale yellow slit-like pupils contracted.
Everyone?
Everyone will gain this power?
Including Thompson, whom he had just beaten?
No, he couldn't accept that!
...
"Hehehe!"
The Green Goblin's glider smashed through a window, bursting out.
Harry was ecstatic!
Just moments ago, he had personally killed a board member who used to berate him!
The scent of blood amplified his destructive urges.
Watching the panicked pedestrians fleeing below.
Harry began to understand his father; this malevolence was truly uncontrollable...
In the next moment.
Several pumpkin bombs were thrown down by him.
...
New York's Sanctum Cathedral.
Thompson, who had just finished his confession, didn't feel much better and still looked despondent.
His school life had been ruined by the Lizard; he had become the laughingstock of his classmates.
The football team kicked him out, saying they wouldn't tolerate someone who brought disgrace.
Even his former cronies and lackeys had abandoned him.
And Liz?
It was said she had dropped out and stayed home due to extreme fright and subsequent mental issues.
"Insignificant, insignificant..."
Thompson muttered to himself, his eyes suddenly bloodshot. "It's Peter! It must be Peter Parker! It must be him!"
Perhaps it was because he preyed on the weak and feared the strong.
Thompson turned his suspicion into certainty.
All his intense resentment was channeled toward the nerd he used to bully.
He didn't notice...
That the intense emotions he emitted had attracted a writhing mass of black substance lurking in the shadows.
It slowly crept closer...
...
Whoosh~
The night wind was slightly chilly.
On the rooftop of the Ghost-Spider Club, four faint silhouettes seemed to be gazing into the distance.
"I've planned to go to the car show with Stephen tomorrow; I should sleep early tonight."
Ye Li crossed his arms with an indifferent expression. "You'd better have a good reason, Jessica, or watch out for Big Pi."
Jessica covered her mouth briefly, then squatted down and urged Skye, "Skye, are you done yet? Hurry up, or I'll be in trouble."
Skye, sitting cross-legged on the ground with her laptop, rolled her eyes at Jessica's words.
You can lift a car, so why are you afraid of Li, an ordinary person, hitting you with Big Pi?
Nonetheless, she sped up her work and soon pulled up police communication logs and some city surveillance feeds.
Gwen, dressed in her Ghost-Spider uniform, also squatted down and looked at the computer screen, surprised. "Skye, I didn't know you had this kind of skill."
"Impressive, right?"
Jessica said proudly, "I'm the one who discovered her talent first. With Skye, getting information won't be a problem."
Beside them, Ye Li glanced up but didn't feel like speaking.
"The intel is accurate; there are indeed two incidents happening simultaneously, but why…"
Gwen looked at the surveillance video on the screen and said curiously, "One of the places has two lizard men, so I guessed right. But why is the other place the Green Goblin?"
Jessica asked, puzzled, "Didn't Norman Osborn already die? Could there be two Green Goblins?"
Ye Li revealed, "It's Norman's technology, likely someone from the Osborn Corporation."
More precisely, it's probably Harry.
Jessica: "So what should we do now?"
Gwen suggested, "Let's split up. I'll handle the lizard men, Jessica, you go stop the Green Goblin's destruction."
"Wait! Something's happening at the Osborn Corporation, too!"
At this moment, Skye pulled up another surveillance video.
In the video, a blue Electro figure burst out of the Osborn building. The uncontrollable, raging electricity instantly electrocuted many pedestrians, its destructive power surpassing even the Green Goblin's pumpkin bombs.
Ye Li's expression turned slightly serious. The simultaneous appearance of these threats was quite unexpected.
"How is there even more?"
Jessica felt her mind spinning. "What do we do? What do we do? If only I could clone myself!"
Gwen turned her gaze toward Ye Li. "Li, what do you think we should do?"
I think you should all go home and cry to your mothers. I can handle all the rewards on my own...
Although Ye Li thought that, he still analyzed out loud, "This Electro figure displayed energy-based abilities in the video clip. You can't handle him with your powers, so leave him for now.
It's best to first deal with the two slower-moving lizard men, then handle the fast-flying Green Goblin, and finally figure out how to deal with Electro."
"Big Bro is right! We need to focus our efforts, Gwen."
Jessica agreed with the plan.
"It's too dangerous for you to face two lizards alone. I'll go with you first!"
