Chapter 573 [3 Chapters Combined] Thor: My innocence!!!
This unexpected event caused wisps of white smoke to begin rising from the point where Peter and Mark III made contact.
It was also thanks to the nanotech suit Peter was wearing, designed by Riley. And from the moment it was created, this brother-obsessed maniac had considered all possible difficult situations, focusing on enhancing the suit's adaptability to various combat environments. This meant that the scorching heat of the Mark III wouldn't harm Peter for the time being.
But Tony, being a mortal, didn't wear an extra layer of nanotech suit to ensure a proper fit when piloting the Iron Man suit!
In this situation, if the reactor is allowed to continue heating up, Tony, who is completely encased in the iron shell of the Mark III, will sooner or later be roasted alive by his proud Iron Man suit!
"Jarvis! Can't you hack into his armor systems from the outside and force a restart of the cooling system? If this keeps up, Tony really will die!"
"I'm sorry, but the sir's orders take far higher priority than mine... I cannot go against his will, nor can I change the decisions he has made."
"Damn it... Since that's how it is, don't blame me for being ruthless, Tony—!"
After some conversation, seeing that the temperature on Mark III was still rising steadily, Peter could only frown and begin implementing the backup plan.
Since the mind control effect on Tony can't be resolved in a short time...
Let's take a different approach and directly deal with Tony, the troublemaker!
After all, unlike the out-of-control Max...
Tony, being a mortal without superpowers, would naturally be much less threatening once he lost his Iron Man suit!
Amidst his racing thoughts, Peter's hands, which were already wrapped around Tony's, gripped the edges of the protective covers on both sides of Tony's back, like iron clamps.
Then, with a simultaneous exertion of force from both arms, his ten fingers pierced into the seam of the cover as easily as poking into soft tofu. With a sudden thrust of his back, accompanied by a piercing metallic tearing sound, Peter, bare-handed, had dismantled the main thruster module on his back!
At the same time, Tony, who was constantly changing his flight path in an attempt to break free from Peter's control, suddenly veered to the left in the instant of thrust imbalance.
Before Tony could react, Peter, who had casually discarded the armor fragments in his hands and freed his hands again, exerted his strength once more and removed the two sets of steering auxiliary nozzle components, along with a large piece of metal armor, from Tony's back!
"The main thrusters on the back are severely damaged and have all been taken offline."
Meanwhile, Jarvis, who had "delivered the defection," also calmly reported the results of the battle to Peter and guided him on his next move.
"Mark III is now hovering only on its two legs and the remaining thrusters on its left arm, and its maneuverability has decreased by 60 percent."
"That's not enough. I need to completely strip him of this armor!"
As Peter spoke, he took advantage of Tony's momentary loss of balance after losing his main propulsion and stretched out his hands again.
With his left hand, he gripped the Mark III's elbow joint, the weak point where the armor modules were connected, and with his right hand, he did the same, grabbing the joint of the other arm.
Then, with a forceful pry, Peter ripped Tony's armor below the elbows, along with the surrounding armor, off in pieces amidst the mournful sound of twisting metal!
This also caused Tony to lose two more thrusters in that instant, and Peter disabled his main means of attack!
Peter then turned his attention to Tony's legs.
He ripped off the cover of the right leg thruster by inserting his five fingers into the seam. Inside, the two sets of miniature thrusters emitted a burst of high-pressure white gas when the hydraulic hose broke.
The thruster assembly on his left leg was not spared either. With a brutal and powerful technique, Peter ripped the steering nozzle cover on the side of his left leg, along with the thruster system itself, and scrap metal fell from his fingers.
Thus, the Mark III, which Tony had only developed not long ago, was almost scrapped on the spot after Peter's devastating demolition operation, except for the chest armor connecting the reactor!
Of course, Peter also took this opportunity to order Justice to hack into the Mark III's operating system. With Jarvis's help, the "traitor" forced a restart of the cooling system, allowing the Arc Reactor in Tony's chest to gradually stabilize. While holding Tony, who had lost the ability to fly but was still struggling and waving his arms, Peter slowly landed him on the tarmac.
However, before Peter could lead Tony back behind the bunker, his spider senses suddenly began to throb violently.
With his old strength gone and new strength yet to arise, and with no time to dodge, Peter didn't hesitate for a moment. He spun 180 degrees on the spot, shielding Tony in his arms. Using his back as a shield, he prepared to block the next blow for Tony.
At the same time, as his body was spinning, he used his extraordinary dynamic vision to follow the source of the crisis he sensed and capture the dark green afterimage that was rapidly approaching.
It was Amora, who had been secretly watching Peter for a long time and was about to kill him!
Her right hand clenched tightly, and a sharp longsword, entirely formed from magic, took shape in her palm. As time passed, the increasing compatibility with her body allowed Amora to reach a new level of speed!
With the added momentum, coupled with Riley's terrifying physical attributes...
If this stab lands, not only Peter, but even Tony in Peter's arms will likely be pierced through by Amora, suffering a heart-wrenching and exhilarating death on the spot!
"You audacious madman—!!!!!"
Just then, Thor's roar, tinged with fear and rage, suddenly exploded from the sky.
As mentioned before, he was also under Amora's illusion. It wasn't until recently that he managed to break free of the illusion's control through his own strength.
Before he could even catch his breath, he watched helplessly as Amora, that suicidal bastard, attempted to kill Peter!
Thor shuddered in fright and quickly unleashed his divine power to its limit, transforming into a streak of azure lightning that pierced straight down from the sky. The lightning bolts unleashed from his wrists, like sharp spears, aimed directly at Amora's heart. Forced to withdraw her longsword to parry, she simultaneously dodged backward with incredible speed.
"Thor, it's you again?"
After Amora easily neutralized Thor's attack thanks to Riley's pure numerical advantage, she tilted her head, smiled at Thor, and her tone became alluring and languid, carrying the unique charm of a seductive witch.
"Why do you always ruin my plans... Are you complaining about how I broke up with you back then, and how I abandoned you after starting something? My lovely prince~"
However, what Amora didn't realize was...
When she said these words, her tone was almost perfect, refined over thousands of years, an ambiguous tone most capable of arousing the other person's desire...
Even each syllable was perfectly timed. Like a fishhook wrapped in velvet, specially designed to pierce the opponent's most vulnerable nerve.
But the problem is...
She now occupies Riley Parker's body, a 100% pure man completely unaffected by American characteristics—the gender rainbow flag.
Then the scene shifts to a grown man, speaking in a strange tone, accusing Thor of seducing and abandoning him, and even sweetly calling Thor "Your Highness" in a high-pitched voice...
The stark contrast, enough to give anyone goosebumps, completely silenced the previously tense atmosphere.
Even Tony, who was under the influence of the illusion, seemed unable to withstand the stimulation of the sound, and his eyes became noticeably clearer!
Thor's lips began to twitch, his facial expression constantly changing until it finally settled into a complex mix of shame, embarrassment, and "God! Can't you say something like that in a different body?!"
He stiffly turned his head to look at Peter beside him, only to find Peter secretly activating the recording function of his nanosuit, perfectly preserving this extremely rare scene. Peter was also silently watching Thor with a rather subtle gaze.
After all, Peter hasn't been to the Helicarrier yet, so he naturally doesn't know about Thor's past with Amora...
Even more problematic was that Riley usually seemed uninterested in women. This led Peter to look at Amora, who used Riley's body to exude a seductive and alluring charm, and then at Thor…
In that gaze, besides shock, there was also a strange look that seemed to say, "I think I know something I shouldn't know..."—a clear sign of deep misunderstanding! This made Thor's lips twitch even more violently.
"Don't overthink it, Spider-Man! I have nothing to do with him! And I have a girlfriend now!"
Unfortunately, Thor, this warrior, has never been good with words. In this awkward state of mental blankness, his mouth always beats his brain.
So much so that what Thor really wanted was to clear up Peter's misunderstanding and personally explain that there was no tainted affection between him and Riley.
But as the words left his mouth, not only did Peter's eyes inexplicably show a hint of fear, but even Thor, realizing the words had clearly taken a wrong turn, was so frustrated that he kept scratching his head, wishing he could summon a bolt of lightning to knock him unconscious!
He then raised his hand and pointed at Amora, his ear tips turning noticeably red, and added awkwardly and hoarsely.
"No, Spider-Man, let me explain. What I mean is, I have absolutely no relationship with Amora!"
"Oh? You have nothing to do with me? Then why are you blushing, Your Highness~"
At this crucial juncture, Amora, who never misses a chance to stir up trouble, continued to use Riley's voice, speaking in a seductive tone.
She even deliberately tilted her head and winked at Thor with Riley's face.
A burly man was making all sorts of flirtatious gestures and calling out to another big man in an unusually intimate way...
The sheer incongruity of the scene was enough to send chills down the spines of everyone present. Let alone Peter and the others who were forced to witness the entire event!
"Shut up! Stop talking—!!!"
Stimulated by this, Thor's face went from slightly red to bright red, and then from bright red to ashen.
As the rapid changes occurred, his divine power surged wildly across his wrists, and the arcs of electricity that appeared on his body were brighter than ever before, clearly indicating that he was enraged!
To prevent Amora from making any more outrageous statements, Thor roared and charged forward almost immediately after speaking, transforming into a streak of azure lightning. His right fist, imbued with the power of thunder, slammed straight at Amora's face, creating a piercing sonic boom as his fist scraped against the air.
"Hehe, still so easily teased... Your Highness, you're so adorable, I can't help but want to pamper you~"
But Amora was prepared for this. While the laughter still echoed in the air, her body had already shifted several positions laterally with the pure numerical enhancement.
Thor's fist slammed into the steel beam she had just been standing on, twisting and breaking the entire beam. A large amount of high-voltage electric arc shot out in all directions from the point of impact.
"Wow, that was quite a blow... What's wrong, Your Highness? Are you angry because your secret has been exposed? You weren't like this before. You used to sing for me even when you were drunk, and you would..."
Amora's figure reappeared a few meters away. After glancing at Thor's "masterpiece," she continued to tease him in that chilling tone, feigning grievance.
"I don't--!"
Thor's roar made everyone present feel dizzy.
He raised his hands high above his head, and a thick bolt of lightning shot down from the dark clouds, striking Amora.
However, Amora is not only fast, but also has a spider-sense that can give early warnings.
Before the lightning could even take shape, Amora accelerated to dodge. Her dark green afterimage trailed a zigzag path through the air, causing the lightning bolt, which should have been a sure thing, to graz her afterimage and strike the tarmac, creating a scorched crater.
At the same time, Amora spread her right hand, and three dark green magical shackles emerged from the void, striking Thor's head, waist, and knees simultaneously from three directions. She attempted to slightly restrict Thor's movements in this way, freeing her hands to deal with the others first.
However, Thor, whose anger was at its peak, immediately demonstrated to Amora what it meant to overcome all obstacles with sheer force.
With just a swing of his right arm, the shackles aimed at Thor's head were shattered into countless points of light.
With his left hand, he seized the back of the whip that was being pulled toward his waist and ripped it off with brute force.
The third strike was precisely hit by a bolt of lightning falling from the sky, and after the two strikes canceled each other out, they dissipated into the air.
Of course, Thor, who had been charging into battle for hundreds of years and had extensive combat experience, was equally swift in his counterattacks.
As he ripped off the flail, he thrust his left hand forward, unleashing a fan-shaped shockwave of electricity that engulfed Amora. This forced her to abandon her initial attack and accelerate her dodge again, attempting to create distance and give herself ample time to cast her spell.
But Thor wasn't a proper mage to begin with, so why would he stand there like an idiot and play a game of magical duels with Amora?
Almost as soon as Amora began to move, Thor, with lightning speed and enveloped in dazzling lightning power, relentlessly pursued Amora!
For a moment, the two fought fiercely in this area at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye. Lightning and dark green magic collided with each other from time to time, intertwining to create a series of explosions.
Meanwhile, Peter, having stabilized the reactor state on Tony's body, had already used his spider silk to tightly bind Tony.
It was wrapped around Tony's shoulders and down to his ankles. This ensured that even if he was still under the illusion's influence, he couldn't harm anyone else.
It's worth mentioning that perhaps Amora's previous performance was simply too awful, or perhaps Tony sensed something was wrong and began to resist the illusion's influence...
Peter could tell from the changes in Tony's eyes that Tony was gradually breaking free from Amora's control.
This allowed Peter to quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, through Justice's real-time scan, he caught a glimpse of Thor and Amora fighting.
The battle between Thor and Amora quickly escalated into a fierce stage after it began.
These former lovers have long forgotten everything from the past.
The power of lightning and the dark green magic intertwined in the air, creating a series of explosions. Dazzling blue-white arcs of electricity and dark green magical shockwaves collided, devoured, and annihilated each other in this area... The aftershocks of the battle alone were enough to make the entire building vibrate!
In this situation, although Peter, now in a state of princely authority, possesses the resources to intervene in this level of battle...
However, if Amora focuses solely on stalling and doesn't give Peter and Thor a chance to engage in direct combat, then even if Peter and Thor join forces, they won't be able to defeat a serious Amora in a short time.
Even more critically, the entire Stark Industries building has endured too many impacts since the start of the war—Tony's artillery fire, Amora's magical barrage, Thor's thunderous bombardment, Peter's "Spider-Slam"—each round of attacks has left irreparable scars on the building's structural framework.
Peter could see with his own eyes that the entire building was visibly warped and deformed. Fragments of the outer glass curtain wall were falling from the sky like raindrops.
If it weren't for Sheriff Black's brilliant assistance, who immediately arranged for District 13 agents to cooperate with the NYPD to begin evacuating the area after the battle began...
These shards of glass falling from the sky alone could probably stage a real-life "Final Destination" scene!
Not to mention, if the continuously damaged building is left unattended, this enormously expensive, iconic New York City building might collapse under the strain before Thor and Amora even reach a conclusion, disappearing from the face of the earth forever! And like the Twin Towers, it would cause devastating damage to the surrounding area!
Therefore, after a brief moment of thought, Peter decisively opened the communication channel and issued new combat orders to everyone.
"All units, take note: Amora is to be dealt with by Thor. Medical team, receive Tony and take good care of him. Everyone else, focus on eliminating Amora's clones!"
The moment he finished speaking, Peter pushed his speed to the limit, transforming into a streak of red and blue light as he swiftly traversed the interior of the building.
Guided by Justice's precise directions, Peter located the severely damaged areas and, during their journey, adjusted the formula of the spider silk projectiles according to the specific damage levels in different areas. This allowed him to continuously fire spider silk, precisely repairing those areas and performing temporary reinforcement work.
However, the repair speed couldn't keep up with the destructive speed of god-level combat power. This meant that Peter would often finish repairing something and barely have time to catch his breath before being forced to rush to another area at Justice's alert. He simply didn't have time to participate in the clearing operation against Amora's clones.
Fortunately, although Peter was unable to provide support, Amora, who was entangled with Thor and unable to break free for the time being, was also unable to hide his main body in his clone as before.
With Riley's intervention, Thor awakened his divine power ahead of schedule and attempted to master it. Now, his control over lightning is as smooth as an extension of his own arm!
With a wave of his hand, the seemingly casually summoned network of firepower seemed to possess its own consciousness, relentlessly pursuing Amora's true form!
No matter what technique she uses—whether it's creating new clones, becoming invisible, or even short-distance spatial teleportation—that thickest pillar of lightning will always chase after her main body like a GPS pinpoint!
Amora, who was so distracted that she didn't even have the energy to make any witty remarks, was forced to keep turning back and dodging, and had no spare thoughts to command her clones to fight together.
Along with Amora's clones, which were originally well-organized and moved in unison, their movements became noticeably sluggish, and their coordination became disorganized, greatly reducing their threat level!
This allowed the group, who had previously been on tenterhooks, fearing they might accidentally run into Amora's true form and be taken out in one fell swoop, to now attack with all their might without any worries.
Especially Gwen, who was among the first to suffer heavy losses and had to temporarily withdraw from the battlefield.
After a short rest and treatment by the Crown Prince, she regained consciousness and returned to full health.
The moment she returned to the battlefield, she fired two spider silks, precisely sticking to two Amora clones that were diving towards Jackie Chan and the little snake, pulling them back forcefully. Then, she grabbed their heads, one in each hand, and slammed them together, smashing them into a patch of dark green light.
Immediately afterward, she performed a backflip to dodge the magical shackles cast by the third clone. As she flipped in mid-air, she shot out webs that wrapped around the clone's ankles, throwing her into the air and causing her to crash into the other two clones that were releasing energy blasts. Then, with the help of Spider-Man's power, she caused all three clones to explode into green mist and dissipate.
In just a few seconds, Gwen had easily dealt with five of Amora's clones!
However, there were simply too many clones. Even if Gwen acted quickly, the number of Amora clones she eliminated was still a drop in the ocean compared to the total number present.
Not to mention these clones, like Amora, possess all sorts of bizarre and difficult-to-defend magical techniques—some release energy barrages from afar, some wield magical longswords up close, and some lay down invisible trap arrays on the ground—causing those who are not skilled in magic to suffer quite a bit in the process of fighting them.
Amora, realizing the group's strategic intentions, not only evaded Thor's angry pursuit but also occasionally used magic to summon more clones to join the battle.
So much so that, on the surface, everyone seemed to have slightly regained the upper hand due to Gwen's return.
However, faced with an endless number of Amora clones that showed no significant decrease in number no matter how hard they tried to eliminate them, everyone's stamina would inevitably be devoured by the Amora clones, gradually being worn down.
