Chapter 486 [3 Chapters Combined into 1] Father and Son Situation
Sunset in New York always comes quickly.
While Jackie Chan and his crew were still braving the bitter cold of the Tibetan Plateau in the early morning, chasing after Shenzhu and his group.
Because of the time difference, it's already dusk in New York City on the other side of the world.
Thanks to the recent crackdown on a large number of energy giants, the clean energy plan jointly promoted by Osborne Industries and Stark Industries has been able to be fully implemented in New York City, creating a monopolistic situation with a dominant player and widespread acclaim.
For this reason, the streetlights were turned on half an hour earlier than usual.
The efficient and inexpensive supply of new energy sources keeps the city as bright as day even after nightfall. The outlines of every skyscraper are clearly defined under the lights.
The last rays of the setting sun were slowly fading from the opposite bank of the Hudson River, carving a purplish-red scar on the horizon.
It's just like the bloodstains that seep out from beneath the city's glamorous exterior.
In this ambiguous moment between day and night, a dangerous chase unfolds unexpectedly between skyscrapers...
As a member of the Spider Squad, young Harry Osborn at this moment only wanted to curse the ancestors of the green madman behind him with every swear word he could think of!
"Damn it! Where did this madman come from?!"
While grumbling through gritted teeth, Harry didn't forget to use Peter's web-shooting device to skillfully swing from one rooftop to another.
Landing point, swing arc, angle of the next shot...
With the help of artificial intelligence in the nanosuit, Harry was playing a real game, and every swing was so elegant and perfect.
This motion algorithm, personally tuned by Riley, was supposed to make Harry behave just like a real "Spider-Man" when moving between cities.
But tonight, the characteristics of this algorithm almost cost Harry his life.
Because the green monster behind him, riding a military-grade hang glider that looked like it was made by Osborn and with a physique comparable to the Hulk, was relentlessly pursuing him and had clearly done in-depth research on Spider-Man's movement methods!
Look, here it is...
Before Harry could even figure out how to "greet" this green-skinned monster, another pumpkin bomb grazed his back and exploded less than ten meters to his right.
The shockwave made his eardrums buzz, and the nanosuit's automatic defense system instantly added three layers of cushioning to Harry's unsuspecting back.
Even so, the violent explosion at close range still made Harry feel his internal organs tremble.
"Warning: New explosive projectile detected, rapidly approaching. Emergency Evasion Mode C recommended..."
"Activate! Activate everything!"
Faced with the warning information provided by the artificial intelligence on the suit, similar to "spider-sense," Harry shouted without hesitation.
The next second, the suit not only rapidly transformed into a wingsuit-like structure under Harry's armpits, but also produced miniature thrusters resembling those of the Mark II, which emitted pale blue flames. This allowed Harry, while still in mid-air, to shift his entire body five meters sideways without firing webs.
At the same time, a pumpkin bomb landed precisely on Harry's intended path.
boom!
The flashes from the explosion illuminated Harry's pale face, which was clearly showing signs of lingering fear, beneath his mask.
This is the seventh time since this inexplicable chase began.
This green madman, who seems to appear out of nowhere, always manages to predict the brief window of opportunity when he loosens his web and his body is in freefall.
That was Spider-Man's most vulnerable moment while swinging on his webs. It was a weakness that, theoretically, even Spider-Man himself might not be aware of!
If it weren't for the new nanotech suit, equipped with the same reactor as Tony's, which solved the limited battery life issue and allowed Riley to work more freely, upgrading the nanotech suit while also adding a lightweight flight propulsion device to its gliding mode. This allowed Harry to frequently change his trajectory using the explosive acceleration provided by the thrusters, even before he could launch his webs. Combined with the significantly improved defensive capabilities of the upgraded nanotech suit…
Harry is probably already riddled with holes by the pumpkin bomb and lying on the ground, barely alive!
As for why Harry ended up in such a sorry state...
Honestly, Harry himself wants to know the answer too!
In all honesty, the clean energy project jointly launched by Osborn and Stark Industries just completed its third phase pilot deployment earlier today, centered in Queens.
At this point, the project was on track, and Harry no longer needed to stay in the company to keep track of its progress.
This means that Harry, who has been busy for more than a week since the partnership was established, finally has some long-awaited free time.
Almost the instant he finished his work for the day, he couldn't wait to slip into the underground laboratory of the Osborne Building and change into the meticulously maintained "Spider-Man" nanosuit that Riley had specially tailored for him.
Initially, Harry's idea was simple: to return to the world of Spider-Man, swinging around the city to relax and unwind. He also wanted to remind the citizens that the Spider-Man who was always in the public eye wasn't just "Spider-Man Noir" [Rieley], "Ultimate Spider-Man" [Peter], and "Gwen" [Ghost Spider-Man]...
And then there's this guy, "The Amazing Spider-Man," whose signature feature is the use of all sorts of high-tech equipment!
Especially after Tony made his first public appearance in Times Square wearing a Mark II to stop the Iron Monger, Harry, who felt his style was "clash" with Tony's, was determined to prove himself this time to avoid being seen by the public as Tony's "substitute."
But what Harry never expected was...
He had only been away from the company for a short time, and hadn't even had a chance to properly enjoy the long-lost pleasure of the spiderwebs swaying.
This green, ridiculously large monster, resembling a distant relative of the Hulk, rode a military glider, relentlessly chasing Harry while constantly throwing bombs at him, covering most of Queens!
Of course, Harry did consider retaliating during this time.
For example, relying on his familiarity with the city's terrain, Harry, who seemed only capable of panicking and running away, was once pulled by spider webs, turned the corner of a skyscraper, and briefly disappeared from the green monster's sight.
Then, relying on the electromagnetic attraction provided by the nanosuit, just like a real Spider-Man, he pressed his body against the huge floor-to-ceiling window, quietly hiding above the corner, holding his breath and waiting silently.
So that when the relentless green monster, just as Harry predicted, appeared directly below, Harry could leap down and deliver a powerful flying kick to the monster's head!
After all, the exoskeleton amplification system of the nanosuit, combined with Harry's now fully adapted super soldier serum...
Harry's stats, while not comparable to Riley's overpowered abilities (who doesn't even need to act), are at least at least 80% of Peter Parker's normal level!
Logically speaking, given the current timeline and the fact that various supervillains haven't yet appeared in large numbers...
Harry, who also deserves the title of "numerical monster," should be able to take down most enemies on his own, even without teaming up with Peter and others.
So, believing he had seized the opportunity, Harry, while assuming a flying kick stance, was already fantasizing about what he should say during the interview to better fit the image of a "superhero"!
But what happened next almost made Harry's jaw drop!
The green monster had keenly detected Harry's sudden attack, not only by observing the changes in the wind.
Without dodging or avoiding, amidst bursts of maniacal laughter, he raised his fist, the size of a sandbag, and engaged Harry in a straightforward, head-on collision!
result……
Harry, who was originally full of confidence, couldn't even hold on for a second. His whole body flew backward uncontrollably, smashed the tempered glass, and fell into the upper office floor in a sorry state!
It was this punch that made Harry's eyes clearer and completely put away all his contempt.
Without the slightest hesitation, they decisively chose to escape with all their might, never giving the green monster any chance for close combat!
Of course, having been active as "Spider-Man" for so long, Harry wasn't really running away blindly...
Instead, he used the communication system to send a distress signal to Riley, along with his real-time location information, while "Justice" planned an escape route with the core requirement of avoiding innocent civilians as much as possible.
To prevent the green monster from becoming suspicious, Harry, who had been around Riley for a long time and had gradually learned to use tricks, even risked serious damage to his nanotech suit by deliberately taking the blast of a pumpkin bomb. This was to create the illusion that Harry was exhausted and that if he continued the pursuit, he would soon be able to capture the monster, thus steadily keeping the monster's "hatred level" high.
But, unfortunately...
This green monster of unknown origin is not only incredibly strong, but also unlike the Hulk, who is a mindless fool who only relies on brute force to cause destruction! Instead, he is like an old fox who has studied psychology for most of his life, exceptionally cunning and insidious!
That's why, after a brief chase, the green monster, realizing Harry's thoughts, finally stopped pursuing him.
But before Harry could even notice what was happening, and before he could even breathe a sigh of relief...
Then you see this green monster, amidst a series of eerie laughs that are enough to send chills down your spine, step onto the glider's pedals and launch several missiles at the park directly below!
In that instant, time stretched infinitely in Harry's perception. Every detail pierced his eyes sharply.
The missile's exhaust plume scorches the air in a distorted trajectory.
The innocent smiles on the faces of the children, who were completely unaware of the impending danger, contrasted with the growing fear in the eyes of their parents as they noticed the noise.
A chilling coldness gripped Harry's heart before his anger at the green monster's shameless behavior, only to be burned away by an even more fervent determination!
"Jestis! Maximum thruster output! I must stop it before the missile explodes!"
"Warning: The suit has withstood seven explosive impacts, its structural integrity has dropped to 71%, and it cannot withstand the force of a missile explosion at close range. Immediate evacuation is recommended; survival probability will increase to..."
"I said, increase the thruster output power! Now—!!!"
The roar exploded inside the mask, Harry's eyes were bloodshot, and he no longer held back or made any calculations.
Ignoring the absolutely rational advice of artificial intelligence, it resolutely turned around and flew straight towards those missiles!
The artificial intelligence remained silent for 0.2 seconds.
That's the program performing extreme calculations between conflicting instructions.
In Riley's core instructions, protecting the wearer's life was the highest priority.
However, orders given by the wearer are equally inviolable.
Finally, the flames spewed out by the thrusters became thinner and thinner, and the heavily loaded engine emitted mournful cries!
The sudden surge in pressure felt like it was going to tear Harry's nanotech suit apart! As the energy readings plummeted, red danger warnings kept popping up in front of Harry's eyes!
But thanks to this, Harry's speed broke through the limits!
All he could see were the three missiles that were getting closer and closer, and the tiny but vibrant lives beneath them.
In the blink of an eye, Harry erased the distance between himself and the missile, successfully catching up with the first one!
"Get...out of my way!!!"
Just as the missile was about to glide past the treetops in the park, Harry charged in from below at an angle! Like a precisely aimed ram, he slammed into the missile's underside!
"Thump—!!!"
Accompanied by a dull, heart-stopping bang! Terrifying kinetic energy instantly surged through the entire body!
Harry felt his spine screaming, as if his internal organs were being squeezed and crushed by an invisible giant hand! A sweet taste rose in his throat, and blood rushed to the inside of his mask.
But he gritted his teeth and, relying on the powerful thrust provided by his nanosuit, tried to forcibly change the missile's trajectory!
"Aaaaaaahh ...
Finally, with a roar bursting from the depths of his soul, Harry deftly drew an upward arc in the air, bracing himself against the fiercely struggling missile that was trying to continue its dive!
He carried the missile away from its trajectory toward the child, as if he were carrying a burning hill, and with all his might, he hurled it toward the artificial lake at the edge of the park, which shimmered in the twilight!
The missile tumbled and veered off course before plunging headfirst into the heart of the lake!
"boom--!!!"
A huge column of water shot into the sky, mixed with the white mist of vaporized lake water.
The muffled sound of the explosion traveled underwater, its power largely absorbed by the water, with only violent shockwaves reaching the shore.
Although the fish in the lake, innocent and tragically perished, floated to the surface belly by belly...
But Harry managed to thwart a missile threat!
The price was that Harry's arms were numb, his chest was throbbing with pain, and the remaining energy in his suit plummeted once again!
But he had no time to catch his breath or rest, so he gritted his teeth and charged toward the second missile!
Of course, putting aside Harry's current condition, whether he can alter the trajectory of another missile...
If Harry actually does that, he will completely lose the chance to intercept the third missile!
So Harry narrowed his eyes and, with Justice's high-speed computing assistance, began to vibrate his wrists at an ultra-high frequency!
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss—!!!"
Dozens of high-strength spider silk, like exploding silver fireworks, shot out from his wrists!
But instead of firing directly at the missiles themselves, they struck the area around the park—the thick trunks of oak trees, the sturdy lampposts, the metal frame of the children's slide, the pillars of the gazebo…
Spider silk rapidly weaves, intertwines, and sticks together in the air, creating a huge, complex, and layered three-dimensional interception net in front of the missile's flight path at a dazzling speed!
The second missile crashed headlong into this hastily laid but resilient silver net!
boom! boom! boom!
After being subjected to the high-speed impact of the missile, the spider web visibly dented and deformed rapidly, breaking layer by layer.
But each layer of the spider web consumes the missile's kinetic energy, changing its direction!
This caused the originally aggressive missile to slow down visibly, like a ferocious beast stuck in a swamp, and its trajectory became skewed.
Finally, it was tightly entangled by layers upon layers of spider silk, like a giant silver pupa, hanging between several large trees, trembling in vain.
The second missile was thus dealt with!
But Harry, eager to resolve the crisis, immediately swooped down towards the third missile after weaving his web, unaware of...
The missile, which had been successfully intercepted, had its fuse flashing red rapidly, indicating it was about to detonate. However, it stopped short of detonation just as Harry passed by and entered the blast radius.
Clearly, the green monster's goal was not simply to defeat or kill Harry.
But Harry was in no mood to ponder these things at the moment!
The spider web that Harry had just woven had already depleted the ammunition reserves of Harry's web launcher!
At that moment, the third and final missile roared towards the group of children who, after their parents' terrified shouts, finally sensed something was wrong. But because of their young age, they didn't understand the meaning of the rapidly approaching missile and instinctively looked up curiously, standing frozen in place!
Harry's heart sank to the bottom.
Having already made up his mind, Harry ignored Justice's warning echoing in his ears and continued his descent at high speed like a meteorite!
He must get his feet on the ground before the missile hits the ground!
Only the earth can provide him with the fulcrum for his final counterattack!
"boom!"
Harry's feet slammed heavily onto the lawn, creating two shallow craters. His legs, bearing the immense pressure, immediately throbbed with intense pain.
But Harry stopped!
Stand up straight!
Like a steel nail driven into the earth!
"Justice!"
Harry looked up at the missile that was now almost within reach. His voice was hoarse, but it carried an undeniable resolve.
"Activate the 'Spider Claw' protocol! Push all the remaining energy onto those four 'arms'!!!"
The moment he finished speaking, the nanotech suit on Harry's back seemed to come alive!
The surface of the emerald green battle suit boiled, roared, and reformed like liquid metal!
In the blink of an eye, four thick, sturdy mechanical spider claws, their joints crackling with violent arcs of electricity due to energy overload, burst forth from his back like a sleeping ferocious beast king fully awakened, accompanied by the roar of metal friction, pointing straight to the sky!
Each one is over four meters long, and the alloy claws at the ends gleam with an indestructible cold light in the gradually darkening night!
That was a secret weapon that Riley specially designed for Harry, modeled after Otto's mechanical arm, to make up for Harry's weakness in strength.
This was also the source of Harry's confidence in luring the Green Goblin away so he could fight him one-on-one!
"bring it on!!!"
Harry's eyes were bloodshot, and the four mechanical spider claws, driven by his will, seemed to be an extension of his body.
Two of the spider's claws dug deep into the ground, further stabilizing Harry's position.
Meanwhile, the other two spider claws, accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air, attacked the missiles from both sides simultaneously, precisely clamping down on the third missile flying towards them!
"Squeak—quack quack quack—!!!"
A chilling, metallic, distorted sound exploded!
The missile's terrifying kinetic energy and the full-power output of the mechanical claw's hydraulic system are locked in a fierce struggle at this moment!
The spider's claws, due to excessive force, even pierced the outer shell of the projectile, sending out scorching sparks!
The joints groaned from the strain, but quickly stabilized again thanks to the continuous repair from the nanomachines.
Although this would consume a large number of nanobots, causing Harry's suit, starting from the joints of his limbs, to begin shrinking like a tide due to the massive transfer of nanobots.
But Harry held on!
"Get up there!!!"
Harry's waist and body became one, his feet sank deep into the mud, using the earth as a fulcrum, and his four mechanical spider claws worked together to exert force, the power of muscles and hydraulic systems twisted into a torrent that could shatter mountains and split rocks!
With a hoarse roar, Harry, pushing his own limits, managed to twist the third missile from a horizontal charging posture to a vertical upward one!
Then, like an ancient warrior throwing a javelin, Harry hurled this creation, imbued with the aura of death, with all his might into the deepening twilight of the boundless night sky!
The missile spun, transforming into a shooting star flying in reverse, soaring into the sky!
However, just as the missile left his hand, Harry caught a glimpse of the green monster's subtle movements out of the corner of his eye.
The green monster, standing on the glider, grinned maliciously and raised one hand, pressing a large, ominous-looking red button on the virtual projection screen that appeared on the arm armor!
Without a doubt, this inhuman beast planned to remotely detonate the missile prematurely!
Even though the missile has been launched but has not yet reached a safe altitude, the shockwave and fragments from the explosion will still cover the area, causing potentially fatal damage!
There's no time to hesitate!
Behind Harry, the mechanical spider claw that had just been thrown but hadn't yet retracted started moving again!
They stretched and swept across at an astonishing speed!
The target wasn't the missiles, but the adults in the park who, out of concern for their children, were running towards them with fear on their faces, yet still stumbling along!
The mechanical claw moves with lightning speed, yet with incredible precision and restraint.
They either shove you from behind, wrap around your waist, or push aside obstacles in your path...
With a gentle yet irresistible force, it swept all seven or eight adults who had willingly risked their lives toward the dense thicket of bushes beside the park road!
At the very instant he completed this action, Harry suddenly turned around!
Before him stood three young children, too young to understand the danger of their situation. Instead of crying, they stared at Harry with curiosity.
This caused the last trace of hesitation in Harry's eyes to vanish, leaving only steely tenderness and resolve.
The mechanical claw has already consumed too much energy in order to successfully intercept the missile.
Due to the high load operation of the thruster, the entire system fell into an overload shutdown state.
Harry's injuries from blocking the first missile meant he didn't have time to get all the children to safety before the missile exploded.
So, after his mind raced, Harry quickly took a step forward, opened his arms, and without hesitation, pulled all three small bodies into his embrace.
