Manhattan North Street.
BOOM!
A car suddenly exploded, and the force of the blast shattered the windows of nearby buildings. The pile of debris on the side of the road caught fire, and a foul, black smoke rose slowly.
"Help! There's a monster!"
"Where's the Avengers? Why aren't they here yet?"
"Don't smash my car! I just finished paying it off!"
"Can anyone help me find my child?"
"..."
The street echoed with the screams and wails of the people. Fear hung in the air over the neighborhood.
Three Minotaur-like creatures with horns and shaggy bodies were rampaging through the streets. They destroyed everything in their path, even flipping over cars on the street. People scattered and ran for their lives, but many were still caught in the chaos.
The police from nearby precincts arrived immediately and began to evacuate the civilians.
"Hurry! This way!"
"Everyone, get out of here! Don't linger!"
"..."
They were desperately trying to help, but even so, many people couldn't get away. Especially in the stores lining the street, many people had hidden inside out of fear. But the fragile glass doors were no match for the creatures.
Mooo!
A Minotaur bent down, roaring, and charged at a police car in the distance. Each step left a deep hoofprint on the ground. The police officers' faces changed drastically when they saw the Minotaur charging toward them.
"FUCK!"
The police officer immediately shifted into reverse and slammed on the gas. But because there were so many cars, he only drove about ten meters before crashing into one.
"Quick! Shoot!" The police officers in the car were terrified. They wanted to pull out their guns, but at such a close distance, all they could do was watch in fear as the Minotaur got closer.
Just then, a pure white figure dropped down, blocking the charging Minotaur.
BOOM!
A shockwave spread, and a loud crash echoed through the street. The moment the two collided, a huge burst of energy was released, and the swirling dust rippled outward.
"It's Ghost-Spider!" The police officers in the car immediately recognized the white figure. When they saw Ghost-Spider, they finally felt a sense of relief.
"You guys get out of here! I'll handle these big guys!" Gwen's voice came out through gritted teeth as she gripped the Minotaur's horns. These damn guys are so strong! Gwen cursed in her heart. These creatures were far more powerful than she had anticipated.
The police officers took one look at Gwen, and without another word, they made a U-turn and drove off on the sidewalk.
"Hah!" Gwen took a deep breath, twisted her waist and hips, and threw the Minotaur in front of her.
Mooo!!!
Just then, the other two Minotaurs charged at her. As the two creatures got closer, Gwen confidently leapt into the air, like a world-class gymnast, her flexible waist bending like a crescent moon. In that instant, the Minotaurs charged past her and crashed heavily into a nearby store.
"Hey, it's not polite to attack by surprise! Don't you guys have any manners?" As she landed, the playful Gwen didn't forget to taunt them.
Moo moo!!! The Minotaurs came out of the store, roaring at the sky.
"What, roaring means you can destroy public property?" Gwen crossed her arms and tilted her head up slightly.
The next second, the three Minotaurs slammed their feet into the ground and charged at Gwen, shaking the street.
"Are you really ganging up on a little girl?"
"Even if you are Minotaurs, you should still respect your elders and be polite!" As she spoke, Gwen felt the ground shaking slightly, and her eyes on her spider mask widened. She shot a web, pulling herself quickly into the air. At the same time, she shot out more webs with her left hand, wrapping them around the three Minotaurs.
The usually strong webs were easily torn by the Minotaurs, only delaying them for a fraction of a second. Seeing this, Gwen had to quickly move from building to building. She shot out more webs, but even so, they couldn't hold the Minotaurs for long.
"You guys are way too strong! Why don't you go work in a field?" Gwen muttered to herself, looking at the difficult Minotaurs.
Mooo!!!
The Minotaurs, unable to catch Gwen, went into a frenzy. A sinister black energy began to emanate from their eyes.
"What's going on?" Gwen was stunned by the black energy. It was the first time she had seen anything so strange.
Just then, the black substance in the Minotaurs' eyes condensed, and they suddenly looked up at Ghost-Spider. Beams of black light shot out from their eyes. Gwen's eyes widened in surprise.
"No, they're too fast! I can't dodge them!" Just as the beams were about to hit her, she could only turn her body slightly to barely avoid them. But the web she was connected to was hit by a beam and snapped. She fell to the ground, out of control.
"Ah!" Gwen couldn't help but scream.
The Minotaurs below saw Gwen getting closer and closer, and a white mist shot out from their nostrils. They excitedly raised their sharp horns, knowing that Gwen would be impaled when she landed.
"Oh no!" Gwen's face changed. She tried to turn around and shoot a web at the wall, but she was too close and couldn't change her trajectory. Plus, webs have a certain amount of elasticity, so at such a close distance, it wouldn't be able to catch her!
Mooo!!!
Gwen's eyes widened as she looked at the bright blue sky.
"Am I going to die?" She never expected these Minotaurs to have an attack like this. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so careless.
Whoosh!
However, she didn't feel the pain of being impaled. Instead, she was caught in a warm embrace. She felt his strong chest and looked up to see that it was Cassius.
"We meet again." Cassius held Gwen, glided a short distance through the air, and landed safely on the ground. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he held Gwen. It's so good to be young. Even holding her felt soft. Since she was wearing a tight suit, it was almost a zero-distance hug.
"What are you doing here?" Gwen was overjoyed. She never expected Cassius to save her at such a critical moment. Seeing him brought her an indescribable joy, and she unconsciously put her right hand on his shoulder.
"..." Cassius was stunned and couldn't speak. He hadn't planned on coming here. He was just thinking he might get some rewards, so he decided to tag along with Wanda. Who would have thought he'd arrive just in time to see Gwen fall? Getting a hug made this trip worthwhile.
"Cassius, why did you run so fast?" Wanda flew over from a distance and saw Cassius holding Gwen. She raised her eyebrows and said with a strange look, "Ghost-Spider, why are you here, too?"
