Chapter 491 [3 Chapters Combined] Two Insects Battle the Green Demon
Hearing the Green Goblin's words, and seeing that his father, who was not far behind him, did not refute them, Harry's breathing became a little rapid.
"You're talking nonsense!"
After a moment of silence, Harry, who had completely lost his composure, roared through gritted teeth as if possessed by the Tiger King.
"Do you think I'd believe such a clumsy lie?"
"Don't believe me? Lies? Hahaha!"
Green Goblin tilted his head, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, and burst into loud laughter without any restraint.
Then he pointed at Norman, his tone contemptuous and mocking.
"Then why don't you dare ask him? Isn't the 'innocent citizen' you see right behind you right now?"
As he spoke, Green Goblin turned his gaze to Norman, a mischievous smile playing on his lips as he continued, enunciating each word clearly.
"Norman Osborn. My dear partner, you should tell this enthusiastic young vigilante yourself...we really are partners, aren't we?"
silence.
A long, suffocating silence.
The laboratory's ventilation system emitted a continuous low-frequency hum.
The alarm was still ringing, and the red and blue lights reflected on everyone's faces.
Norman stood beside the central laboratory table.
He watched Harry's retreating figure.
Looking at the battle suit that had been created with his tacit approval, bathed in the laboratory lights, it emitted a reassuring, luminous green.
Looking at the child he had once cherished as a fragile treasure, now standing tall and strong like a man between him and the monster, offering protection to his father.
This prompted Norman to slowly lower the scanner and place it on the edge of the lab bench.
Then, Norman spoke.
"Yes."
There is only one word.
His tone sounded somewhat impatient, as if he were answering a fool who already knew the answer.
This caused Harry's shoulders to visibly tremble.
Only 0.3 seconds.
Then he tensed up again, staring intently at the Green Goblin.
But there was a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.
"...Don't be afraid of him. With the two of us Spider-Men here, he can't hurt you."
He paused, and when he spoke again, his words carried an almost humble plea.
"Whatever he did to you, whatever he threatened you with, it's not your fault... You don't need to say such things against your conscience."
Norman fell silent again upon hearing this.
He desperately wanted to tell Harry that he had indeed been threatened by the Green Goblin and that the cooperation was not voluntary.
I also want to tell Harry that everything he's saying and doing now is just a way to buy time.
Norman had figured it out during their brief exchange...
Even if these two Spider-Men team up, they might not be a match for the cunning Green Goblin.
Therefore, he had to continue to stall for time and wait for further support from District 13.
In doing so, he ensured that his status as a "partner" remained unchanged, so as not to become a hostage and unnecessarily drag Harry down with him.
Therefore, even from Harry's few words, Norman knew that his son's beliefs were being severely challenged and he was on the verge of collapse.
But Norman did not change his answer.
Even this time, he didn't stop what he was doing, continuing to inspect the glider while speaking in a cold voice.
"That's enough. Hurry up and take care of these two wall-climbing bugs. With them around, I can't repair your glider in peace."
The moment the words left his mouth, Harry's breath caught in his throat, and his true face, hidden behind the mask, revealed a wide-eyed shock, an expression of utter disbelief.
On the other hand, Green Goblin's smile stretched all the way to his ears.
He was extremely satisfied.
This scene was even more exciting than he had anticipated!
"Did you hear that, Spider-Man?" His voice was hoarse and gleaming, as if savoring a delicacy. "The 'innocent citizen' you risked your life to protect said it himself: I am his dear partner. And you, you're a pest that gets in our way! Hahahaha!"
As Harry listened to the Green Goblin's piercing laughter, his knuckles clenched until they turned white.
He didn't respond to Green Goblin's taunts, but instead, as if deceiving himself, he silently repeated it to himself over and over again...
The father must have been threatened.
That monster must have caught my father doing something wrong, otherwise he wouldn't have said such a thing.
He had already reached a cooperation agreement with District 13, and his future was bright. Why would he need to cooperate with this monster of unknown origin?
Will not.
No...
No way!
"...Spider-Man."
After a long silence, Harry spoke again, his voice hoarse and low.
"I am here."
The voice of Ultimate Spider-Man came from behind Harry's side.
Knowing Harry's identity, Ultimate Spider-Man, who had also heard Norman's reply, couldn't help but look at Harry with a hint of worry in his eyes.
"Prepare to implement the second plan."
"Are you sure?"
"Sure."
Ultimate Spider-Man was silent for a moment.
The second plan was a simple battle plan that Harry devised before they entered Osborne, imitating Riley's way of thinking.
The plan is as follows: If the Green Goblin cannot be defeated in a short time, Ultimate Spider-Man, who is familiar with his old adversary, will be responsible for holding him back. Meanwhile, Harry, who has a better understanding of Osborn's internal layout, will take this opportunity to lead the non-combatants to safety.
At this moment, the only non-combatant in the laboratory was Norman Osborn.
Norman just admitted that he and the Green Goblin were in cahoots.
So much so that in the eyes of the ultimate Spider-Man, even if they risked their lives to take Norman away, Norman would not be grateful and would even think they were meddling.
In the end, it was all for nothing.
But at this critical juncture, the ultimate Spider-Man, knowing how heavy Harry's heart was, did not question Harry's choice.
He simply took a deep breath and spoke calmly.
"I will do my best to cover for you and buy you time."
Then, the ultimate Spider-Man moved.
Spider silk shot out from between the arms and stuck to the ceiling.
Then, taking advantage of the momentum, he jumped, his body swinging like a pendulum towards the Green Goblin's right side. He stretched his legs and kicked at the Green Goblin.
Of course, in order to cover Harry's retreat, Ultimate Spider-Man didn't put much effort into this attack.
Having dealt with the Green Goblin for so long, he had long understood that it would be difficult for him to cause any real damage to the thick-skinned Green Goblin on his own.
So the initial idea of Ultimate Spider-Man was to use Green Goblin's hatred towards him to attract Green Goblin's attention as much as possible and slowly tug at Green Goblin's defenses.
But, just like the ultimate Spider-Man understands the Green Goblin...
Green Goblin also knows about Ultimate Spider-Man.
Almost as soon as Ultimate Spider-Man made a move, Green Goblin saw through his intentions.
Therefore, Green Goblin did not dodge his attack as Ultimate Spider-Man had predicted.
Instead, he stood still, letting Ultimate Spider-Man's feint kick land directly on his chest.
So that he could reach out and grab the Ultimate Spider-Man's ankle before the Ultimate Spider-Man realized something was wrong and tried to back away.
Then, with a sudden burst of strength, he flung him away!
The next second, the ultimate Spider-Man's back slammed into a device rack three meters away.
The moment the metal twisted, a piercing alarm blared into the ears of Ultimate Spider-Man.
He struggled to get up and stop the Green Goblin's actions.
But the Green Goblin had already strode towards Harry after shaking him off.
Ultimately, Green Goblin travels through so many universes just to collect the DNA of various Spider-Men.
Therefore, in Green Goblin's eyes at this moment, compared to the annoying Ultimate Spider-Man, this dark green Spider-Man in front of him is obviously more likely to attract his attention!
As a result of Harry's lack of this crucial intelligence, his prepared countermeasures were doomed to failure from the very beginning!
At that moment, Harry was rushing towards Norman with all his might, less than two meters away.
Just at this critical moment, the Green Goblin caught up with Harry from behind, raised his right arm with a sharp blade extended, and thrust it straight at Harry's unsuspecting back!
The good news is that, thanks to the electronic spider-sense built into the nanosuit, Harry sensed the attack from behind even without turning around. It also provided several immediate solutions, allowing Harry to easily dodge the blow.
The bad news was that Norman was standing right in front of him at that moment.
If Harry dodges, and the Green Goblin doesn't stop, the blow will land on Norman.
Without the protection of the nanotech suit and without Spider-Man's superpowers, Norman, who is just an ordinary person from beginning to end, would inevitably suffer either death or serious injury if he were hit by this!
So Harry didn't hide.
He hurriedly turned around, and at this critical moment, crossed his hands in front of him, choosing to block the Green Goblin's attack head-on.
The next second, the Green Goblin's blade sliced across Harry's right wrist.
The wound was deep enough to reach the tendon, and blood gushed out instantly, splashing in Norman's eyes.
Norman's pupils contracted for a moment, but he quickly concealed it under the calm of a still pond, making sure no one noticed the anomaly.
Harry grunted and took a half step back. His right arm hung limply, blood trickling down his wrist and dripping onto the floor.
At the same time, nanobots that detected damage to the suit began to converge on the wound on the wrist.
To stop bleeding. To seal. To cover.
In just two seconds, the torn suit of armor was pieced back together. Furthermore, emergency treatment temporarily stopped the bleeding from Harry's wounds.
But after this serious injury, Harry's right hand will be unable to function for a while.
Even more deadly is...
As we all know, Spider-Man's web shooters are usually located near his wrists.
That's why the web-shooter that Harry had been hiding in his right wrist was now broken in two. Half a piece of unformed spider silk remained at the firing port, dangling there limply.
Clearly, the Green Goblin's slash just now was intentional, specifically aimed at the web-shooter!
This has resulted in Harry's right hand, which he usually uses, being mostly useless.
"Aha, another spider's blood in hand."
At the same time, Green Goblin sheathed his blade, watched as the blood stained with it was completely absorbed and preserved by the gene collector through a specific circuit inside the armor, and then revealed a satisfied smile.
"Now I can safely execute you, Spider-Man."
Harry did not answer.
Although his right arm was hanging down at his side, he couldn't use it.
But he still raised his left hand, assumed a fighting stance, and stood unyieldingly in front of the Green Goblin, protecting Norman tightly behind him.
"Hey! Green Goblin! Don't get bored with the new and forget about your old friend—!"
Fortunately, just before the Green Goblin was about to attack Harry again, a red and blue figure pounced from the side and behind.
Taking advantage of the Green Goblin's attention being entirely focused on Harry, Ultimate Spider-Man slammed his feet into the Green Goblin's back. The force was so great that the behemoth staggered forward a couple of steps. Then, Harry seized the opportunity, clenching his left fist and slamming it into the Green Goblin's chest and abdomen with all his might, causing him to groan in pain and stumble back several steps!
"Sorry, I was a little dazed from that fall."
At the same time, using the force of his kick, Ultimate Spider-Man leaped over Green Goblin's head and landed lightly beside Harry.
Then, while moving his shoulders, which made a soft clicking sound, he noticed the unusual thing about Harry's right hand and asked with concern.
"And you? You look badly injured. Can you continue?"
"It's just a hand, it won't kill you!"
As Harry spoke, he turned his head slightly and glanced at Norman, who was standing not far behind him.
The man remained standing in the same spot, not having moved an inch from beginning to end. His expression was as calm as a stagnant pool, as if the battle before him had nothing to do with him.
This made Harry's Adam's apple bob, and he couldn't help but open his mouth and instinctively shout.
"dad……"
The voice was so soft that it was drowned out by the piercing alarm in the laboratory as soon as it was uttered.
Norman's eyelashes fluttered, but he still didn't respond, not even glancing up at Harry, as if he hadn't heard Harry's call at all.
Harry realized he had almost revealed his identity with his earlier words and quickly corrected himself, continuing in a serious tone.
"Sir, I don't care what your secret is with this monster. But please stay away. Things are about to get quite commotion, so please make sure you're safe."
After he finished speaking, he turned back without waiting for Norman's reply, looking warily at the Green Goblin.
Ultimate Spider-Man watched him from the side, his eyes obscured by the mask, but his shoulder twitched slightly.
Although they lived in different universes, Harry recognized the signal as one that only he, Peter, and Riley could understand.
The next second, before the Green Goblin could regain his footing and launch an attack, the two moved simultaneously.
Ultimate Spider-Man confronts Green Goblin head-on, unleashing a barrage of webs from both hands to block Green Goblin's vision.
Just as Green Goblin instinctively swung his claws to forcibly tear through the web, Ultimate Spider-Man had already crawled under his ribs and punched him so hard that his armor was deeply dented!
But the Green Goblin, prepared in advance, withstood the force of the punch. While remaining firmly rooted to the spot, he swung his claw back, ready to slit Ultimate Spider-Man's throat!
It was at this moment that Harry's left foot swept in from the side, striking the Green Goblin hard in the back of the knee, causing the Green Goblin's body to tilt uncontrollably. The claws that had been swung out also fell into thin air due to the change in the attack's trajectory.
Ultimate Spider-Man seized the opportunity to leap up and deliver a swift and powerful Rising Dragon Punch, striking Green Goblin hard in the chin, causing him to lose his balance and fall heavily backward to the ground.
Then, without any delay, Ultimate Spider-Man and Harry jumped around the Green Goblin, launching a large number of spider webs that bound the Green Goblin tightly to the ground.
"That's interesting... but not enough!"
Before they could even feel happy, Green Goblin's armor heated up rapidly, melting the spider silk that was restricting his movements.
The enormous figure, like an enraged beast, sprang from the ground into the air and pounced again!
This attack was even more ferocious, with its claws swung with tremendous force, each strike aimed at vital points.
However, with Ultimate Spider-Man present, it was still too difficult for Green Goblin to deal with two Spider-Men at once.
Ultimate Spider-Man blocks, dodges, and pulls at Green Goblin in the front row, using his webs to restrict Green Goblin's movement.
Harry, on the other hand, roamed the flanks, specializing in attacking the lower body—kicks to the knees, ankles, and the back of the legs.
The two had formed a complete offensive and defensive rhythm in less than thirty seconds.
Ultimate Spider-Man distracts Green Goblin, allowing Harry to finish him off.
When Green Goblin, enraged, tries to deal with Harry first, the Ultimate Spider-Man attacks him from behind.
For a moment, Green Goblin was entangled by the two Spider-Men and couldn't spare a move, roaring in anger.
It seems that the tide of this battle has already turned in Spider-Man's favor.
In addition, thanks to the lingering effects of the healing serum, Harry's right hand is also recovering rapidly.
If Harry can stall for just a little more time, he'll be fully recovered and "resurrected"! Teaming up with the ultimate Spider-Man to take down the Green Goblin will become much easier!
However, if Green Goblin were really that easy to deal with, he wouldn't have given Ultimate Spider-Man such a headache for so long.
"Give me... that's enough!!!"
Just when the two thought they had the rhythm firmly under their control, Green Goblin suddenly erupted.
He stubbornly resisted the webs that Ultimate Spider-Man had wrapped around him, letting the sticky ropes dig into the gaps in his armor. With a sudden burst of power from his legs, he launched himself towards the ceiling like a cannonball!
With a deafening roar, concrete fragments rained down. The Green Goblin twisted its body at the moment of impact, using the recoil to land headfirst on the ground.
And standing there was Harry!
Harry's pupils contracted sharply, and he rolled to the side with the force of his left leg. The Green Goblin's claws grazed his back and slammed into the floor, the shockwave from the shattering tiles lifting him half an inch off the ground.
The next second, before he could even regain his footing, Green Goblin had already drawn his claws and swung them backhand!
That attack was too fast. Too ruthless.
Harry only had time to cross his left arm across his chest before the claws tore through his forearm suit.
As blood splattered, the immense force sent him flying, his back slamming against the lab table three meters away. With a mournful metallic groan, he slid heavily to the ground.
Spider-Man—!
The shouts of Ultimate Spider-Man came from the other side.
"Alright, buddy, you've really pissed me off. You'd better stay put for a bit!"
He shot out spider silk, trying to force the Green Goblin to change his target, but the Green Goblin didn't dodge at all.
He let the spider silk entangle him and strode toward Harry.
Each step he took left a cracked footprint on the floor.
Left with no other option, Ultimate Spider-Man could only grit his teeth and tighten his webs, trying to slow him down.
The Green Goblin's steps did indeed pause for a brief moment as a result.
Then he suddenly turned around, revealing a sinister smile of triumph, and grabbed the spider silk and pulled it back!
"Ughhhhhhh—!"
Ultimate Spider-Man was pulled off the ground and flew straight into Green Goblin's outstretched claws.
Then, the whole world turned black and white, and the pause button was pressed.
Only the ultimate Spider-Man, still in color, suddenly tilted his head and complained to the handsome men and beautiful women in front of the screen.
"I believe you, like me, have wondered more than once what kind of killer ingredient Doctor Octopus put in his serum... Not only does he have strength comparable to the Hulk, but he also retains Norman Osborn's cunning mind—it's practically cheating! Theoretically, this kind of opponent should be left to the Avengers to handle, but what can I do? I'm the 'Ultimate Spider-Man,' after all!"
After a barrage of sarcastic remarks, as the world returned to color and flow, Ultimate Spider-Man twisted his body in mid-air, allowing Green Goblin's claws to barely graz his mask.
As he landed, he staggered back two steps, and before he could even regain his footing, Green Goblin's foot was already kicking at him. Startled, Ultimate Spider-Man let out a scream like a startled monkey, and quickly rolled on the ground, clumsily dodging Green Goblin's follow-up attack.
Unexpectedly, this played right into Green Goblin's hands. Taking advantage of Ultimate Spider-Man's limited vision, Green Goblin pulled a pumpkin bomb from his belt and threw it directly at Ultimate Spider-Man!
Thankfully, Harry, who had been flung away earlier, had managed to get back to his feet. Before the pumpkin bomb exploded, he used spider silk to hold it in place and unceremoniously flung it back at the Green Goblin, who instinctively slapped it, sending the pumpkin bomb exploding in a corner of the laboratory.
Otherwise, the ultimate Spider-Man, who would have no energy left to change his dodging direction, would have been hit squarely by the pumpkin bomb, resulting in either death or serious injury!
Even so, the situation remains far from optimistic.
In less than ten seconds, the two Spider-Men were defeated one by one, and the battle was instantly reversed!
Just like Ultimate Spider-Man quipped...
Norman Osborn's brilliant mind, combined with terrifying brute force comparable to the Hulk in his normal state...
The Green Goblin's power is on full display at this moment!
Even worse, facing the two Spider-Men who had regrouped and were now in a defensive stance, Green Goblin gave them no chance to breathe.
He pounced again, his claws tearing through the air, each strike carrying deadly force.
Ultimate Spider-Man parries head-on, and after three moves, his hand is split open.
Harry cut in from the side and kicked at the Green Goblin's knee. The Green Goblin ignored it, taking the kick and simultaneously swatting Harry away.
The two were forced to retreat step by step.
Once again, Harry was grabbed by the throat by the Green Goblin and lifted up.
He struggled, kicking his legs against the Green Goblin's breastplate with loud thuds, but only received a tightening grip from the Green Goblin's fingers.
"Finally, I can enjoy the fruits of victory and savor the sweetness of killing Spider-Man with my own hands!"
As Green Goblin spoke, the arm blade on his wrist popped out again and swiftly stabbed towards Harry's face.
