From the moment the Fairy King first shouted his boast, J. Jonah Jameson stopped his conversation with Roderick. He turned on the television, and as if that weren't enough, he opened the window to directly listen to the voice echoing throughout New York.
"Lunatic!" Jameson roared. "A complete and utter lunatic!"
For a moment, Roderick, for reasons unclear even to himself, asked, "Are you talking about Spider-Man?"
"I'm talking about that damned Fairy King! He is a total maniac! An antisocial psychopath! A terrorist! Making a goddamn joke out of the lives of everyone in New York! Who the hell does he think he is? The Joker from DC?!"
Phil Urich rushed back at this point and asked, somewhat confused, "What happened?"
"That damned lunatic Fairy King!" Jonah suddenly changed his curse mid-sentence: "A pure lunatic who wants to play some kind of superhero hunting game."
"Didn't you always think Spider-Man was a masked criminal? Isn't it good for two criminals to fight each other?"
"That's the police's responsibility." Jameson still hadn't abandoned his viewpoint: "Unless the situation is urgent, vigilantes have no right to kill criminals. And criminals certainly shouldn't kill vigilantes!"
Mary Jane just watched one Goblin after another fly towards a certain location, then seemed to notice that they were flying... this way.
"J.A.R.V.I.S. can't crack the NYPD's security network system!" Tony slammed his fist onto the table, grinding his teeth as he stared at the string of data before him: "The opponent used some kind of true random number to create a stream cipher. The key for every instant is randomly generated based on the true random number; J.A.R.V.I.S.'s cracking system can't keep up. The changing air humidity, the sun exposure temperature in a certain area, real-time meteorological charts—if I can't figure out the true random number behind this, there is no possibility of cracking it!"
"Norman Osborn sent a message. He's driving over to the Avengers Tower."
Pym was also helping Tony with the calculations: "He said he forcefully shut down the information service that Oscorp provided to the NYPD, but it didn't work; the entire system has started running on its own. He shut down his AI system, but even a manual restart won't turn it off."
The Captain looked at the bright spots flying higher and higher outside the window and finally contacted Peter over the comms.
"Kid, what do you think?"
"Please notify everyone else not to interfere. I'll handle them." Peter walked to the edge of the rooftop, watching the flying gliders charging towards him, then took a deep breath and opened the utility belt hidden beneath his Spider-Man suit.
It seemed correct that he had anticipated Roderick might fill the entire studio with bombs and, therefore, brought along enough Spider-Bots shrunk down by Pym Particles.
However, disarming the bombs on their bodies and the pumpkin bombs they carried would take time. Peter wasn't worried about dozens of Demon-Grays and Pumpkin Heads chasing him; he was only worried that he wouldn't have enough time to deactivate the bombs inside their bodies.
Furthermore, he had to maintain high maneuverability and combat at high altitudes. The only drawback of the pumpkin bombs was their small blast radius, and he had to ensure the explosions wouldn't affect the public.
"Ready, buddy?"
Venom let out a cheer. He could feel Peter's anger, and he would amplify that anger, making Spider-Man—
[Fearless!]
Peter leapt off, rushing toward the incoming Goblin army. The first to arrive was a Demon-Gray. He was charging and laughing maniacally, preparing to throw a pumpkin bomb at Peter, when his face was covered in webbing. Peter then punched him hard, snatched the pumpkin bomb from his hand, and tossed it into the air to detonate.
Next, all the pumpkin bombs carried by this one Demon-Gray were thrown away. As expected, they all detonated almost the same instant Peter threw them. Peter then confirmed that the pumpkin bomb inside his body had also been removed, punched him away, and stuck both the glider and the person to the wall with webbing.
Subsequent Goblins passing by threw pumpkin bombs, burning the loser eliminated by Spider-Man directly into charcoal.
"Ooh-hoo! Look, the brave Spider-Man wanted to save a poor Goblin, a hero trying to save someone brainwashed by me. What if he was a bad guy? What if he was utterly wicked? But don't worry, I burned him to death!"
The Fairy King continued to chuckle merrily, completely unconcerned about the deaths of his subordinates: "Hmm, what if he was a good person? Will that cause a psychological burden?"
"Don't worry about that either. He's already dead anyway!"
The entire battle was witnessed by the people of Manhattan looking up from the streets. They watched in disbelief as this group of lunatics chased Spider-Man. Spider-Man, perhaps not wanting to involve ordinary people, kept the battle maintained at an altitude of at least thirty meters.
But that didn't stop the Goblin army from choosing to attack civilians to force Spider-Man to approach them.
A Jack O'Lantern rushed towards an intersection, grinning menacingly and preparing to throw the pumpkin bomb in his hand. But he was stuck by Spider-Man's webbing mid-flight and pulled up. The pumpkin bomb exploded in mid-air, while the Jack O'Lantern, riding his glider, charged towards Spider-Man. However, the latter shifted position in mid-air using a web-line, causing the Jack O'Lantern and a Demon-Gray to collide. The pumpkin bomb exploded in an instant, creating brilliant fireworks in the sky.
The two flying gliders hurtled towards the crowd, only to be caught by Peter's symbiote tentacles, then angrily smashed and impaled into a wall.
"Double kill! Or maybe a triple kill counting the previous one? Did Spider-Man know the bomb would be detonated at that moment? Maybe? Maybe not?"
"But as I said, it doesn't matter anyway, because the person is already dead!"
Peter took a deep breath, preparing to deal with the remaining Goblin army, when his Spider-Sense suddenly screamed. A Demon-Gray, accelerating rapidly on his glider, grabbed him and shouted, "I got him!"
Venom instantly pushed the Demon-Gray away. Another Demon-Gray and an A-Goblin threw pumpkin bombs at him and the grabbed Peter, but the first Demon-Gray enjoyed the blast all by himself. In an instant, the Demon-Gray was burned to ashes, and the Demon-Gray who threw the bomb behind him crashed into the flames while howling. Not seeing where he was going, he slammed into a traffic light, breaking his neck and falling to the ground.
[That's not your fault.]
Venom intended to comfort Peter, but unexpectedly, he didn't hear Peter's grateful reply, but a shout.
"I know that!"
Then, he saw Spider-Man rip a streetlamp out of the air and hit a Demon-Gray like a baseball home run.
