The Green Goblin, like a demon toying with souls, presented Peter with a classic trolley problem, forcing him to make a choice.
No matter which side Peter chose, the other was destined to die because of his decision.
This was the cruelty of the Green Goblin.
"Make your choice, Spider-Man!"
The Green Goblin gave Peter no time to think. The moment his voice fell silent, he unhesitatingly let go!
Mary Jane and the cable car full of children plummeted simultaneously!
"Aaaahhhh—!"
Mary Jane screamed at the top of her lungs, drowning out even the cries of the children inside the cable car.
Heeding the call, Peter resolutely shot toward Mary Jane, catching her mid-air in a spectacular leap.
Then, he swiftly shot out a web, his body tracing a perfect arc through the air, and at lightning speed, he grabbed the descending cable, wrenching the falling cable car to a halt!
Peter had successfully solved the trolley problem.
He chose to save both!
Seeing this, the spectators on the Queensboro Bridge erupted in cheers.
The Green Goblin, however, was not in such a good mood.
I posed a single-choice question, who told you to make it multiple-choice?
Furious, the Green Goblin jumped onto his glider and shot toward Peter, who was hanging in mid-air, delivering a savage punch to his face.
Holding a web in one hand and clutching the cable in the other, Peter had no way to dodge. He took the full force of the punch, his body swinging violently in the air.
Fortunately, Peter still did not let go. Otherwise, the fate of a dozen children falling from that height into the sea was easy to imagine.
The situation was dire for Peter.
He was restricted and unable to move in mid-air. Not only did he face the Green Goblin's attacks, but he also suffered from Mary Jane's continuous demonic screams right next to his ear.
If this continued, everyone would likely be finished.
Unless Peter was willing to let go, in which case at least he and Mary Jane would survive.
However, Peter wouldn't do that. Spider-Man definitely wouldn't do that.
Seeing the Green Goblin steer the glider toward him again, Peter gritted his teeth, preparing to endure another punch.
Boom!
Before the Green Goblin's second punch could land, a miniature missile exploded behind him.
With a powerful thrust, the Green Goblin and his glider were instantly blasted away!
However, the equipment from the Osborn Corporation was indeed durable. It withstood a miniature missile without damage, only gaining a layer of scorch marks on the surface.
"Who is it!?"
The Green Goblin finally stabilized himself in the air and angrily looked toward his attacker.
When he saw the attacker's appearance, he was utterly stunned!
The attacker wore a dark green exoskeleton suit, stood on a matching glider, and hovered in mid-air.
The look was identical to his own!
The Green Goblin's eyes widened, full of shock and confusion. "Who are you?!"
"I am the Green Goblin."
The Green Goblin: "???"
You're the Green Goblin, so who am I?
Evidently, the attacker who had perfectly copied the Green Goblin's look was Du Mu himself.
The equipment he had picked up earlier at the Osborn Corporation was the exact gear the Green Goblin was using now.
Unlike Tony's heavily encrypted Iron Man suit, the Green Goblin's gear had no authority protection. It was completely unbound, essentially ready to use immediately upon wearing.
So, Du Mu decided to do a one-to-one replica of the Green Goblin.
He had to admit, the glider was thrilling. It was his first time experiencing this kind of free flight.
He'd have to visit the Osborn Corporation again sometime; maybe he could farm some more good stuff.
Seeing Du Mu, whose equipment was exactly the same as his own, the Green Goblin quickly put two and two together, immediately linking this to the theft incident that had occurred at the Osborn Corporation recently.
At the time, a large amount of Osborn Corporation's new equipment had been stolen, including the exoskeleton suit and the glider.
"So you're that damned thief!"
The Green Goblin was instantly filled with rage.
He hated people who stole his achievements the most, much like the board members he had killed who dared to sell the company he had founded!
"No matter who you are, you're dead today!"
The Green Goblin roared, ignoring Peter. He steered his glider toward Du Mu, and two gun barrels popped out from beneath the glider!
Da-da-da-da-da—!
In an instant, a dense rain of bullets poured toward Du Mu!
Du Mu immediately pulled the glider up, tracing an S-shaped trajectory in the air, skillfully evading the incoming bullets.
"You won't escape!"
The Green Goblin bellowed. A row of missile launchers rose from his glider, and nearly ten miniature missiles instantly flew toward Du Mu!
Du Mu remained calm, operating his glider to launch several miniature missiles in return.
His glider was the genuine article from the Osborn Corporation, so its functions were naturally identical to the Green Goblin's.
Boom! Boom! Boom—!
Multiple miniature missiles violently collided in mid-air!
The explosion was deafening, and fire bloomed high in the sky, illuminating the surrounding night like a fireworks show!
At this moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the fierce battle high above, staring so hard they were risking whiplash, completely forgetting about Peter still dangling beneath the bridge.
Although the Green Goblin's threat was gone, Peter still couldn't extricate himself. After all, he was holding the cable car full of children. He couldn't go up, and he couldn't go down.
Poor Peter was forcefully sealed beneath the bridge, caught between a rock and a hard place. And Mary Jane's screaming hadn't stopped, making Peter feel like his ears were about to bleed.
She really is a star of the opera department; that lung capacity is something else.
A few citizens noticed Peter's predicament and shouted encouragement, "Spider-Man, hold on! Just wait for the NYPD to arrive!"
Hearing this, Peter's heart sank even further into despair!
No one knew better than he did the speed of the New York Police—they never showed up until the absolute last minute.
By the time they got here, he'd be stone cold!
In the night sky, the two green figures were locked in a fierce, mutual missile bombardment.
"Taste this!"
Several pumpkin-shaped bombs popped out from the Green Goblin's glider. He grabbed them and threw them out with force.
The pumpkin bombs didn't explode immediately in mid-air but split into sharp metal wings, hurtling toward Du Mu at high speed!
Du Mu quickly dodged on his glider, but the pumpkin bombs seemed to have tracking devices. They suddenly executed a sharp turn in the air, flapping their sharp metal wings as they sliced toward Du Mu!
Du Mu quickly pulled out two Golden Desert Eagles and held them in front of him.
The gun barrels clashed with the metal wings, instantly sparking dazzling flashes of fire!
Bang! Boom!
Du Mu didn't even look, raising a gun and firing a single bullet that precisely hit one of the pumpkin bombs in front of him, blowing it up in mid-air!
Following closely were several more gunshots, and the remaining pumpkin bombs were also detonated in the air one by one!
"You taste this, too."
Returning the favor, Du Mu raised his guns and aimed at the Green Goblin, continuously pulling the triggers!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang—!
The gun muzzles flashed with fire, and several bullets whistled out!
The Green Goblin was dismissive, not even bothering to dodge.
His exoskeleton armor could withstand miniature missiles; what good were mere bullets against it?
However, in the next instant, the bullets completely bypassed the exoskeleton armor's defense, passing right through and sinking into the Green Goblin's body!
"Aah!!"
The Green Goblin screamed, staring at Du Mu in disbelief. "What kind of technology is this!?"
Du Mu held up his dual pistols and corrected him, "It's not technology, it's magic!"
The Green Goblin: "?"
You call that magic?!
