Shocker.
His name is Herman Schultz.
He was originally just an ordinary person, but also a pretty good inventor.
Relying on the High-Frequency Vibration Device he invented, he gained extremely powerful destructive capabilities.
Before this, he had tried to rob banks several times, but Peter discovered and stopped him each time.
After several clashes, upon learning that Kingpin wanted to eliminate Spider-Man, he immediately joined in. After all, it was a win-win: get rid of his enemy Spider-Man and collect a bounty from Kingpin. Why wouldn't he?
"Alright!"
Seeing Shocker threatening him, Peter immediately pretended to be scared, raised his hands, and said, "The problem is, which Spider-Man are you looking for?"
"Both of them, of course."
Kraven said without hesitation.
"Wait, Kraven." Bullseye, standing high up, immediately shouted, "Two Spider-Men are more than we can handle. Today, there's only one prey here."
"You're wrong!"
As soon as Bullseye finished speaking, a voice rang out.
Then, a crisp sound echoed in the empty space of the abandoned factory.
Clatter—
Like the sound of a marble rolling.
Along with this sound came a "tick-tock" alarm.
This sound instantly made everyone present tense. They were all involved in the underworld and were well aware of dangerous weapons.
This sound was clearly the sound of a bomb.
Bullseye's gaze shifted, and he instantly spotted a yellow sphere rolling towards Rhino's feet.
"Pumpkin Bomb?"
"Careful!"
Boom!!!
Before Rhino could react, the intense flames and heat from the explosion completely engulfed him!
Then, a green shadow broke through the ceiling like a phantom. Harry, riding his Glider, swooped down.
He shouted, "You are the prey!"
At the first glance, everyone was astonished.
"Green Goblin?"
Most surprised was Peter.
He couldn't fathom why the Green Goblin, who was already declared dead, had returned now.
But soon, the Green Goblin's actions made him even more confused.
He attacked with both hands, forcefully throwing the Pumpkin Bombs in his grip.
The targets of his attack were not Ben and Peter, but the evil villains.
Harry wasn't worried about the bombs accidentally hitting Peter and Ben, because although the Green Goblin Armor's auxiliary AI wasn't as powerful as Eunice's, it could still help him calculate the bomb's power, throwing angle, and force.
"Are they fighting amongst themselves?"
Peter turned to Ben and said.
"Could you be any dumber?" Ben rolled his eyes at him and said disdainfully, "That's Harry."
"Harry? Then why is he wearing Pinru, the Green Goblin's suit?"
Peter blurted out, but he quickly realized he had asked a foolish question.
The Green Goblin Armor originally belonged to Osborn.
As expected, after a barrage of explosions, Harry immediately turned his head and shouted to Peter and Ben, "Peter, Benny, are you guys okay?"
"We're fine." Ben gently applied force to his wrist, directly breaking free from the ropes Kraven had tied them with.
At the same time, seeing the Pumpkin Bombs approaching, Shocker immediately raised his arm and released a shockwave, detonating them in mid-air.
Bullseye also fired a shot.
Boom!!
Kraven didn't stop the Pumpkin Bomb, but he leaped, dodged the bomb, and immediately used the factory's beams as a springboard to lunge at Harry.
Harry, riding his glider, narrowly dodged Kraven's lunge. However, Shocker fired another blast from behind, hitting him directly in the back.
Fortunately, the bottom of the glider had magnets that held his feet in place; otherwise, this blow would have sent him plummeting from the air.
Faced with these terrifying criminals, Harry, who was essentially just an ordinary person, would be in a very disadvantageous situation if he lost his aerial mobility.
"Green Goblin!"
From the communicator on Bullseye's waist, Kingpin's voice snarled.
"Whoever he is, kill him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a roar came from within the flames. Rhino, engulfed in fire, charged out like an armored tank, grabbing an oil drum and hurling it at Harry.
Harry narrowly dodged the attack.
Realizing the enemy's strength, he immediately shouted, "Peter, Benny, you guys run first, I'll hold them off."
In this situation, it was difficult for him to protect Ben and Peter's safety.
In fact, Harry was in no position to protect himself.
With his strength, he was no match for these villains, and being inside the factory, even the Glider's advantage was difficult to utilize.
"Benny, let's retreat first."
Peter gave Ben a look.
The meaning was, now it was time for Spider-Man and Hacker to make their appearance.
"I understand the reasoning, but do we really need to retreat? I remember you always wear your suit under your clothes?"
"What, but..."
Peter was confused. He remembered that it was Ben who told him to keep his identity a secret.
What did this mean now?
Was he supposed to transform in front of everyone?
"Harry is one of us, it's fine if he knows. As for these criminals... don't tell me you still plan on letting them leave alive?"
Ben placed his hand on the Little Broken Watch, and the watch face popped open.
At the same time, his voice was as cold and murderous as a knife.
"You want to kill them?"
Peter covered his mouth in surprise.
"What's the problem? If they dare to attack us today, tomorrow they might go after Uncle Ben and Aunt May, or Mary Jane and Felicia. Even your Gwen."
"What my Gwen..."
Peter's face turned bright red.
But Ben didn't seem to notice.
He said, "Think about it, how many times have these people attacked you? That guy Shocker, you've caught him several times, yet he still escaped from prison without any punishment. Everyone else is the same."
"You can let them go once, twice, or even more, but if they don't repent, what's the point of sending them to prison?"
"They won't be punished at all because there are plenty of people willing to bail them out and continue their evil deeds."
"Your so-called principles are actually telling them, 'Go ahead and do evil, Spider-Man can't do anything to us,' which is why they become even more reckless."
Peter was rendered speechless by Ben's words.
Because he knew Ben was right.
The law was originally a deterrent to evil, like a Damocles sword hanging over one's head, instilling fear.
However, when people knew that this sword had no killing power, who would fear it?
Ben reached out and placed his hand on Peter's shoulder, saying earnestly:
"Eradicate evil completely, Peter."
In the moment the two were talking, Harry had already fallen behind in his attacks.
He didn't care about the attacks from the others.
Bullseye's bullets were a mere tickle to him in his Battle Armor. Kraven's attacks were powerful, but his target was large and his attacks were easy to dodge.
As for Aleksei, the bulky behemoth had almost no anti-air capabilities. His act of throwing things was useless except to distract him.
Only Shocker.
His attacks were invisible, and the distorted shockwaves were not obvious in the dim factory.
No matter how carefully Harry observed, he would occasionally slip up.
After a round of fighting, he had fallen into a disadvantage.
At any other time, if Harry was outmatched, he would have chosen to escape. With his flight ability, no one here could have stopped him.
But the problem was, Ben and Peter were still here. If he left, the lives of these two good friends would be in danger.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but complain, "What are you guys doing?"
"Run!"
Harry was even a little frantic.
He saw Peter and Ben standing there, talking about who knows what, and thought these two had suddenly triggered some kind of idol drama heroine setting. They were clearly just a burden, yet they insisted on staying here and not running.
Harry was furious.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't lift two grown men with his strength, he would have already flown away with Ben and Peter, one in each hand.
Peter was still hesitating.
But Ben no longer intended to wait slowly.
"Eunice, black out all surveillance and communications here."
"Yes, sir."
Since he wasn't wearing the Spider-Man battle suit, Ben decided to transform into an alien hero for the first time in a while to fight.
However, before he made his move, he had an extra precaution and directly hacked into all network surveillance, ensuring that no more people would see him transform.
The next moment, the watch's genes began to overwrite him.
His body began to mutate in a green light. On both sides of his cheeks, strange tentacles extended, and at the same time, a pair of wings grew from his back, like a butterfly breaking free from its cocoon.
However, rather than a butterfly, it was more like some kind of terrifying insect.
"Uh, what is this?"
A strong, foul odor wafted over, making Peter pinch his nose and recoil in disgust. In that instant, all his confusion and hesitation were pushed aside by the stench.
Out of a sense of brotherly affection, Peter tactfully refrained from saying: It's super gross.
Alien? Facehugger?
"It's Stinkfly!"
Ben's voice became sharp, like the chirping of insects.
So far, among the initial ten alien heroes, Stinkfly was the only one Ben had transformed into for the first time.
For others, like Ripjaws and Wildmutt, who didn't possess particularly strong combat power, Ben had transformed at least once.
This was also unavoidable.
After all, the applicability of these three alien heroes was inherently weak. Although Stinkfly had the ability to fly, its speed was very slow, making it less useful than Heatblast.
If Ben hadn't carefully checked the icon on the watch this time, Stinkfly probably wouldn't have appeared for a long time.
However, since he had already transformed, Ben didn't intend to switch temporarily.
For dealing with these small fries, Stinkfly's strength would be enough!
Thank you to the passerby who likes novels for the 1782-point reward, Nangong Han Yi, Yong Hao, and Qing Nian Gong for the 100-point rewards, and all my dears for your blessings.
I've had a terrible headache today. I originally planned not to update ten thousand words, but as soon as I saw so many people wishing me a happy birthday, I persevered. Thank you all. I also wish you all happiness every day.
