Late at night, Gwen returned to the apartment exhausted.
In the living room, Liszt slowly opened his eyes, and his consciousness returned to his body from the starlight of the universe.
"You came back so late, where have you been?" he asked curiously.
Gwen threw the mask on the table, stretched out her hand to wipe the black ash on her cheeks, and said to Liszt with a serious face: "Since you have such a powerful power, why don't you help them?"
Liszt looked puzzled, "What are you talking about?"
Gwen pointed at the city at night outside the window, and said angrily: "You defeated the alien creatures, but you also destroyed the city. Many people were injured because of this disaster. They were buried under the ruins. Why didn't you save them?"
them."
Liszt looked like a fool, "What do you think I am? A free and tireless animal labor force?"
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!" Gwen said with firm eyes.
Liszt rolled his eyes, "I have saved many people from the Magma people, what else do you want?"
"But you didn't stay and continue to rescue more people. You just watched others get hurt and didn't do anything. What kind of superhero are you?"
"I never said I was a superhero. That's what you think. I'm just an ordinary giant of light. My abilities are limited and I can't protect everyone."
"You obviously can do it."
"It doesn't matter what you say, and I have done all these things for you. What do you do, just leave a few words of praise as a reward for me?"
Liszt sneered and said: "This is your usual style. You have never faced up to your position. The strong have no obligation to protect you. How can you survive without relying on your own efforts?"
Hearing this, Gwen slapped her forehead helplessly, "Okay, the demonstration is over.
Liszt, you can't do this at all. I think you should continue to hide your identity. You can't deal with reporters who are good at making trouble."
Liszt scratched his forehead and said, "Isn't it okay to say this? I'm already very restrained."
Gwen shook his head, "Your answer has told me that if your identity is exposed, then you will become a powerful dictator in the reporters' writings. People will not accept a superhero who is not under their control, because you
It has threatened them."
Liszt nodded, "It seems that without Mouth standing by for Tony, this matter will be really difficult to handle."
"This is one of the reasons why you chose to hide your identity." He said to Gwen.
Gwen sighed and sat down next to Liszt. She lay on the sofa with her hands on the back of her head and stared at the ceiling for a while.
"That's right. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. This is what my father often told me, but I know that the greater the ability, the more things you have to bear.
If I expose my identity, my life will become a mess, and my father will get into more trouble because of me."
"But your father seems to hate Spider-Man more than most people." Lister said.
Gwen smiled bitterly, "Because my behavior was in a sense provoking official authority, and his superiors put pressure on him, so he had to do it.
There was a time when he almost lost his job because of Spider-Man.
If we lose this job, those criminals will have no qualms about taking revenge on us.
Therefore, for my safety, my father vowed to catch Spider-Man, but every time he failed to catch Spider-Man, he hated Spider-Man even more.
Over time, I, Spider-Man, has become his obsession."
Lister shook his head, "Since you know, why do you continue to be Spider-Man?"
Gwen took a deep breath and smiled again on her face, she said: "Because I know that if my father knew my identity, he would definitely support me.
Because I have always been his pride."
"This thing sounds complicated."
"Yes, everyone is complicated, and so are you."
"We've only known each other for a few days, so don't think you know me well."
Liszt laughed, and then said: "How have you been lately? Have you found that guy?"
A week has passed since the battle with the Magma people.
On days when there are no monsters around, Liszt will go to the filming site to supervise the progress in his spare time, and occasionally give his own suggestions.
And Gwen will be a lot busier, because the lizard people have appeared again recently, and they seem to have become more difficult to deal with. They have been chased by Gwen and escaped unharmed several times.
Mentioning what happened recently, Gwen rubbed her eyebrows and said, "I can now confirm that Professor Connors is related to the lizard people, but I can't be sure whether the lizard people and Professor Connors are the same person."
Lister thought for a while, "Peter Parker has been sent back by SHIELD. I think you can use Spider-Man's identity to ask him to help you do a test. After all, he was Connors's assistant before."
"This is too dangerous. I don't want him to be involved in this incident." Gwen refused without hesitation.
"Didi~"
At this time, Liszt's cell phone rang.
After taking a look at the news from Eddie, he said to Gwen with a solemn expression: "Even if you don't want to, Peter has to participate in this incident."
"Why?"
"I just got news that the Lizard Man has appeared again, and this time his target is the Empire State Building."
Gwen was curious, "Where do you get all your news from?"
"You don't have to worry about this."
"But what does this have to do with Peter?"
"My people found a transmitter on the top of the Empire State Building, enough to spread the contents of the device to the entire city."
"What?"
Gwen was startled and reacted immediately.
"The lizard man has been actively exposed in the past few days just to distract me. His real purpose is to spread the lizard gene to the city and turn everyone into monsters!"
"So to speak."
"Why did he do this?"
Liszt smiled and said: "The lizard man's strange expression means that he must be a human mutated by the lizard gene.
Humans are social animals, and when an independent individual becomes a monster, he will become extremely lonely."
"Only the same kind can heal his inner loneliness, but he only needs the same kind. Why must everyone be turned into monsters?" Gwen asked.
Liszt smiled and said: "Even if they are accompanied by the same kind of people, they are still monsters and are afraid of other people's strange eyes.
In the world of humans, lizard people are monsters, and in the world of lizard people, humans are monsters, so you should be able to understand."
Gwen stood up with his tired body, "I understand, he wants to establish a kingdom of lizard people, and I will stop him now."
"It's difficult to stop him by yourself." Liszt reminded.
Gwen's eyes lit up, "You want to go with me?"
"Of course not."
Liszt dialed the phone and said: "Hey, hey, is this SHIELD? I want to call the police."
Gwen: "."
In the neon city at night, police sirens rang through the streets.
On a tall building near the Empire State Building, Patton held a bow and arrow, observing the strange surrounding environment with his eyes like a hawk.
"Barton, did you see that?" Nick Fury's voice came from the headset.
Barton said calmly: "I haven't found anything yet."
In the nearby command car, Nick Fury said to Steve: "The guy who is about to appear is a tough opponent. Even Spider-Man can't catch him. You have to be careful later."
Steve said with a serious smile, "Why are you so convinced of this news?"
"Because he was the one who called the police."
"who?"
"Giant of Light."
Hearing this, everyone present was speechless.
Natasha smiled slightly and said, "It's really interesting. He can obviously solve it by himself."
"The idol must be testing us!" Harry, the new member, was full of excitement.
Natasha hesitated to speak, and finally shrugged: "Not telling you the true identity of the Giant of Light is a wise decision."
Harry was gearing up and didn't care about it.
"Of course an idol must maintain a sense of mystery. It would be most interesting for me to reveal all these secrets myself."
"Your mentality is very good, keep it up."
Nick Fury added: "Your Green Goblin armor is still insufficient compared to Stark's Mark armor. Are you sure its performance is stable?"
Harry said confidently: "Of course, after Stark died due to palladium poisoning, part of his technology was bought by my father, which gave birth to this suit of armor. I believe in Osborne Technology."
"Well, you will also participate in this operation and let us see what you are capable of."
"No problem." Harry assured, patting his chest.
As soon as he finished speaking, Barton's voice suddenly came from the communicator.
"I found him, a big green lizard."
Everyone's spirits were shaken.
"Barton, force him to our preset location."
"good."
Atop the tall building, the cold wind was biting. Barton drew his bow and arrow to target the monster in the darkness. The arrow in his hand immediately broke through the wind and shot out.
"Hey~"
"Boom~~"
The excellent archery skills did not hit the lizard man directly, but exploded directly in front of the lizard man. The fire roared out, and the frightened lizard man immediately turned around and rushed towards the nearest alley.
"He fled into the alley." Barton retracted his arrow and said.
"Very well, Steve, Harry, it's your turn."
"no problem."
In the dark alley, as soon as the lizard man landed, he saw the black shadow flickering above his head. Gwen used the spider silk to fly down in front of the lizard man. The green ballet shoes under her feet suddenly broke through the concrete floor, and her body turned into an afterimage and passed by instantly.
Next to the lizard people.
"咻咻咻~~"
The agile body swam back and forth several times, and a large amount of spider silk bound the lizard man's hands and feet, making the lizard man's movements slow.
"Ang~~"
Finding that his movements were becoming more and more difficult, the lizard man roared ferociously, the power in his body exploded, and he roughly broke free from the restraints of the spider silk and flew towards Gwen.
"Boom~~"
As the wall shook violently, the lizard man jumped into the air and smashed into the wall, becoming more and more violent.
Gwen jumped to the high wall and walked on flat ground, looking at the lizard people in the alley and couldn't help but wonder.
There's something wrong with this guy. His speed and strength are not as good as the previous lizard man. Could it be that his genetic power has begun to fade?
As she was thinking, fire roared in the night sky, and a green demon on a flying skateboard hovered in the air. The ferocious demon's face made Gwen wary.
"No need to be like this, I'm not an enemy."
Harry said that he was about to throw the pumpkin bomb, but was stopped by Steve who came over.
"Don't use bombs, it's too noisy."
"clear."
Harry retracted the pumpkin bomb, and the flying skateboard under his feet suddenly ejected the sharp blade.
At the same time, Steve, who jumped from the tall building, suddenly threw out his shield, and he and Harry attacked the lizard man from left to right.
Seeing this, Gwen shot out spider silk to assist the two of them in their actions.
"Ang~~"
"Boom~~"
Beasts roared in the alley, and muffled sounds were heard one after another.
Under the high-rise building, Barton had been paying attention to the battle in the alley, drawing his bow and arrow and preparing for a sneak attack at any time.
He believed that with his archery skills, he would be able to kill with one strike.
"Kaka~~"
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from behind. Barton frowned, turned around and shot an arrow without hesitation.
"Hey~"
"puff!"
There was a flash of silver light in the darkness, the arrow was crushed in the ferocious claws, and the figure of the lizard man with a strange smile was reflected in Barton's pupils.
"Hahaha, SHIELD, your operation failed."
"What?"
Barton's expression changed drastically, and before he could inform everyone, a terrifying long tail whizzed over, knocking Barton away and smashing him into the wall.
The communication equipment failed, and the lizard man quietly sneaked to the top of the Empire State Building.
Not long after, the lizard man came to the top of the building and activated the launching device that had been prepared.
"Buzz~~"
As the emission device emits a faint light, the lizard man will install the green reagent on the end of the device.
His vertical pupils shrank suddenly, he was about to succeed soon.
Turn everyone into a lizard man, and no one will look at him differently.
And the stupid SHIELD can't stop this and is about to become a part of the Lizard Kingdom.
"Click~"
The green lizard reagent is installed successfully, and the lizard man clicks the launch button.
"Buzz~~"
The emission device glowed brightly, and a beam of light shot straight into the sky.
Looking up at this scene, the lizard man's eyes were filled with anticipation.
"Hahaha, join me in welcoming the lizard era, New York!!"
As they laughed, the fight in the alley ended.
The bloodstained lizard man fell to the ground, his genetic power rapidly weakening, his green scales quickly disappearing, and he quickly returned to his human appearance.
"Not Connors?" Gwen frowned.
"Look, what is that?" Harry pointed at the beam of light above his head.
Steve's expression changed, "No, we fell into a trap."
"Steve, Barton is missing, go to the Empire State Building quickly." Nick Fury said anxiously.
"It's too late."
"Boom~~"
The next moment, the light pillar completely submerged into the night sky, the light disappeared, and nothing happened.
"What?"
Everyone looked at the calm night sky anxiously, wondering if this would be the calm before the storm.
But Connors knew that this was not a so-called delay, but that his launcher had failed.
No, to be precise, this is not his launcher.
"Actually, this is just a super-powerful lighting lamp."
The voice behind him explained to Connors the reason for the launch failure.
Hearing the noise, Connors turned around suddenly and looked at Liszt who had appeared at an unknown time with a ferocious look on his face.
"Did you do it?" he said angrily.
Liszt shrugged, "Who else but me?"
He was worried that SHIELD would be unreliable, so just in case, he could only replace the launch device here in advance, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
