Chapter 68

Peter Displays His Divine Power

"...That's all, because I didn't expect we'd run out of bullets..."

When Peter asked the question, Dr. Connors responded instinctively, his tone carrying a hint of bewilderment.

Clearly, Peter's amazing feat left Dr. Connors questioning his own existence.

After all, Dr. Connors initially only intended to grab any gun to ensure that even if Peter couldn't shoot, he could still quickly end Dr. Connors' life at close range by pressing the muzzle against his forehead, thus achieving self-defense...

Who would have thought that not a single bullet from the entire magazine hit Dr. Connors!

Not to mention, the students, who were usually well-behaved and docile, were surprisingly brave after getting their hands on a gun! This truly shocked Dr. Connors for a whole year!

If it weren't for Dr. Connors's current ugly body, proving that not long ago, Dr. Connors had been injected with lizard serum...

Even Dr. Connors had to wonder which of the two of them was the monster whose body had mutated!

Even if instead of escaping with Peter, I had instead wandered around the lab pulling him along while letting Peter do whatever he wanted...

Now that Peter has the gun, can he single-handedly wipe out the entire security force of the secret laboratory?

Unfortunately, with the crisis still unresolved and the situation only temporarily eased, there wasn't much time for Dr. Connors, whose values ​​had been deeply shaken, to slowly process his emotions.

"Hmph, you've got some skills, but it's not enough."

After observing silently for a moment, it became clear that Dr. Connors, transformed into a lizard man, was far less terrifying than the Hulk. In fact, his fighting prowess was even inferior to Peter's when he was shooting a gun.

Hiding behind the Shadow Legion, Tru, who had allowed the ninja soldiers to deplete Peter's ammunition, immediately felt that he was ready again.

Holding a magic tracker adorned with four lifelike dragon heads, he strode up to a spot not far from the two people. One of the dragon heads then flashed red light, pointing directly at the two before him.

Convinced he hadn't chosen the wrong target, Tru coldly threatened the two men.

"Regardless of who has the talisman... you two had better hand it over right now! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tru, with his massive physique that rivaled that of the lizardmen, exuded an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Even the ninja soldiers who were previously scattered by pinpoint fire returned to the battlefield unharmed after merging into the shadows and taking a short rest!

Now, not only Peter, but even Dr. Connors couldn't help but regret that he should have grabbed a few more guns for Peter during the breakout!

If the firepower supply is sufficient, Peter and himself can become a mobile firing point and forcefully tear open a breakthrough before these strange creatures recover!

But now, clearly outnumbered and not understanding what Tru meant by the talisman, Dr. Connors, assuming Tru had mistaken him for someone else, after a brief moment of thought, prepared to admit that the so-called talisman was on him. He wanted to find the right opportunity to throw Peter high into the air, forcibly breaking free of the encirclement.

Although you might suffer a bit upon landing.

But thanks to the dense bushes that cushioned his fall, Peter was at least able to land safely and have a chance to survive.

"Knowing I was carrying a talisman, you still dared to come looking for trouble... Brother, sometimes I really don't know whether to call you brave or reckless, you big oaf?"

Just as Dr. Connors was waiting for the right moment and leaning back to protect Peter, he felt a stomping sensation on his back.

Then he watched as Peter, who was "not good at sports," did a beautiful somersault in the air and landed lightly and smoothly. He casually caught the rope darts thrown by the ninja soldiers, and while crumpling them into a ball in his hand, he simply twisted his waist and used force to cause the ninja soldiers on the other end of the rope darts to collide with each other one by one, accumulating their numbers!

It wasn't until they collided with the humanoid tank Tru that these ninja soldiers, who had only recently recovered, were able to turn into a cloud of black mist and merge back into the shadows underground. They couldn't have been more unlucky!

"Peter...you...?!"

Even so, the immense power Peter displayed was enough to surprise Dr. Connors once again.

Is this really the Peter Parker I know, and not the auditory and visual hallucinations he's experiencing after being injected with lizard serum?

"Don't worry, Dr. Connors, I'm still the student you know."

"When Mr. Osborne called to cancel the vacation you arranged for me, my brother gave me this bull charm with special magic that can greatly enhance one's strength. So that in an emergency like this, I would have some ability to protect myself."

Fortunately, the moment Peter decided to step in and help Dr. Connors, he had already prepared his explanation for all his miraculous performances.

So, as Peter stepped back a few paces and returned to Dr. Connors' side, he made sure to reach into his clothes and take out the bull charm that he had been wearing on a necklace and had kept hidden inside his clothes.

Indeed, at the moment when the decision was made to split up at the New York Sanctuary, Riley was still worried and sent Peter alone deep into enemy territory.

Therefore, in order to ensure that Peter could calmly deal with an attack by a group of lizardmen without revealing his identity as "Spider-Man",

Riley then specifically gave the Ox Talisman to Peter so that even if Peter used Spider-Man's powers, he could use the Ox Talisman to cover it up.

Ultimately, for Norman Osborn, who was obsessed with biotechnology research...

A magical artifact, ethereal and without any scientific basis. But what could capture his attention more than a living, breathing "Spider-Man," could there?

It was precisely because the Ox Talisman had been in the real world for so long that its whereabouts could not be tracked, almost making the Holy Lord doubt whether it was an old and broken magic tracker, that he finally stood up for himself and accurately locked onto Peter's whereabouts.

This led to the unexpected situation where Tru appeared and cornered the two of them.

This can be seen as a demonstration of the advantages and disadvantages of temporarily lending the bull charm to Peter.

"That smug voice... Ah, I remember you, kid. You're that brat who ruined my plans on the rooftop back then!"

Just as Peter was innocently trying to calm Dr. Connors down, completely oblivious to the fact that magic actually existed—a fact that might be far more unacceptable to Dr. Connors, who had dedicated most of his life to science—than turning into a lizard man himself…

Peter's habitual witty remarks also made Tru's eyes gradually turn dangerous after he had blocked the impact of the group of ninja soldiers unscathed.

Even after so many days, Tru still remembers that extremely irritating face vividly!

Then, the figure of Peter Parker was perfectly combined with the red and blue Spider-Man who had mocked him face-to-face but was prevented from being beaten up by the ninja soldiers.

Tru, who instantly understood why the Ox Talisman was in Peter's hands, grinned maliciously and continued speaking slowly and deliberately.

"Now, I've changed my mind..."

"I want more than just the Ox Talisman..."

"Even you, you'll have to stay here!"
