Chapter 56
Boom!
The entire laboratory was shaking violently! Various precision instruments instantly exploded! The walls were covered with spiderweb-like cracks! It looked as if it could collapse at any moment!
The masked researcher was directly thrown off by the terrifying energy aftermath! He crashed into the wall! His life or death was unknown!
After a long time.
The energy storm gradually subsided.
Gwen, or rather,
A brand new, "Dark Phantom Spider" slowly landed on the ground.
Her entire body was covered by a layer of pure black substance that flowed slowly like a living creature, outlining a perfect curve that was even more fiery and powerful than before.
The playful hood was gone, replaced by a head of wild, long hair, also dyed pure black, but with a hint of an eerie purplish-gold glow at the tips!
The huge white crescent-shaped eye sockets on her face emitted a cold and bloodthirsty light!
Her mouth curved slightly upwards, forming a wicked and insane smile!
She felt the unprecedented, almost overflowing, powerful energy within her!
She felt the dark will filled with primal desires and murderous impulses!
And the purplish-gold energy that was intertwined with the dark power, yet brought an unusual pleasure!
She felt as if she had completely changed.
Stronger! Freer! And more dangerous!
"Hahahahahahaha"
"Gwen Stacy is dead."
"The one standing here now"
"Is the Spider-Queen!"
She, or rather, "they," whispered in a hoarse yet seductive voice.
Then she raised her head, her gaze seemingly penetrating the spatial barrier, looking distantly towards Stark Tower.
Her eyes were filled with complex emotions.
Possession, jealousy, anger, desire, and a hint of morbid love!
"Lin"
"Wait for me"
"Soon"
"I will make you truly belong to me alone"
With that, her figure instantly transformed into a black lightning bolt, disappearing from where she stood.
Only a messy, hellish laboratory remained.
A new, more powerful, and more unpredictable "Queen"
was born!
And all of this
Did Lin Tian know?
Stark Tower rooftop.
Lin Tian was "guiding" Wanda in deep meditation of Chaos Magic.
Suddenly!
His heart stirred slightly!
An extremely strong energy fluctuation, filled with chaos, violence, possessiveness, yet vaguely carrying a familiar aura, was transmitted into his consciousness like telepathy!
Is this Gwen?!
Lin Tian's brows instantly furrowed!
The Hehuan Mark he left in Gwen's body not only allowed him to perceive Gwen's location and general emotions, but also to warn him when Gwen's power changed drastically or her life was threatened!
And that fluctuation just now
was extremely chaotic! Extremely dark!
And it even carried a powerful energy that surprised him somewhat?!
What on earth happened to Little Spider?!
Lin Tian immediately split off a wisp of his spiritual sense, following the connection of the Hehuan Mark, and probed towards the source of the fluctuation!
However!
When his spiritual sense touched that chaotic dark energy!
It was actually
fiercely repelled by a force full of hostility and devouring desire?!
It even tried to invade him by following the connection of his spiritual sense?!
"Hmm?!" A hint of surprise and coldness flashed in Lin Tian's eyes!
Interesting!
It seems Little Spider is really in big trouble!
And it seems she even benefited from the misfortune? Gained some kind of dark power that doesn't belong to her?
Symbiote?!
Lin Tian instantly thought of this possibility!
After all, Gwen is a Spider-Woman, and there seems to be some kind of natural "attraction" between her and a symbiote?
It's just that
this symbiote also seems to have merged with the Harmony True Qi he left behind?!
This led to that chaotic power that was both familiar and strange just now?!
Lin Tian stroked his chin, an extremely interested expression on his face.
A new existence that combines spider mutation, an alien symbiote, and Harmony True Qi?
This
sounds much more interesting than simply "going dark"!
And more powerful! More difficult to control!
"It seems it's time to go and see for myself." Lin Tian stood up, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
He wanted to see
what his "disobedient" Little Spider would become after gaining new power?
Would she still obediently submit to him as before?
"Lin? What's wrong?" Wanda also woke from her meditation, sensing the fluctuation in Lin Tian's emotions, and asked with some concern.
"Nothing." Lin Tian ruffled her hair, a gentle smile on his face, "Just a few little 'surprises'."
"You and Pietro stay here for now. Zero will protect you."
"I'm going to handle some private matters."
With that, Lin Tian's figure instantly disappeared from where he stood.
Only Wanda remained, looking in the direction Lin Tiandisappeared, a trace of imperceptible loss and vigilance flashing in her eyes.
Private matters again?
Is he going to find another woman again?
Is it that blonde "neighbor"?
Wanda's small hand unconsciously tightened.
New York City, Queens.
A black figure, like a phantom, descended on the rooftop of Gwen's apartment.
It was none other than the "Spider-Queen" Gwen, who had just completed her "evolution"!
At this moment, her black symbiote suit seemed even more solid and sinister than before.
In the huge white crescent-shaped eye sockets, cold and mad light flickered.
She stood silently on the edge of the rooftop, overlooking the familiar city.
She felt the surging, almost bursting, powerful energy within her!
And the dark will that constantly whispered in her mind, urging her to destroy! To kill! To possess that man!
"Power, I need more power"
"And Lin"
"He's mine! He can only be mine!!!"
"Any woman who dares to get close to him"
"Must die!!!"
She, or rather, "they," uttered a hoarse and murderous whisper.
Just then!
A voice so familiar that it made her soul tremble suddenly sounded behind her:
"Oh? Is that so?"
"Then should I also die?"
Spider-Queen Gwen stiffened all over! She turned sharply!
Only to see Lin Tian, who had appeared silently behind her at some unknown point!
A half-smile on his face, he was looking at her with interest.
Seeing Lin Tian suddenly appear, and seemingly having heard her murderous whisper just now!
"Spider-Queen" Gwen's heart was instantly filled with extremely complex emotions!
Surprise! Panic! Anger! Jealousy! And a hint of uncontrollable fear?!
Even though she felt stronger than ever before!
But when facing this man, who was like an abyss, forever unfathomable
She still instinctively felt a trace of fear!
"Lin?! You, how are you here?!" She, or rather, "they," asked in that hoarse and slightly chaotic voice, trying to hide her inner panic.
"Why can't I be here?" Lin Tian slowly walked towards her, a playful smile on his face, "Isn't this the rooftop of my Little Spider's 'boudoir'?"
He deliberately emphasized the words "Little Spider" and "boudoir," as if reminding her of something.
"I am not your Little Spider!" Spider-Queen Gwen retorted sharply, angry light flashing in her huge white eye sockets, "I am the Spider-Queen! A brand new! Powerful existence!"
She tried to use this to emphasize her "independence" and "transformation."
"Oh? Is that so?" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, walked up to her, and stopped, the distance between them almost non-existent.
He reached out, wanting to caress her cheek as he used to.
Slap!
Spider-Queen Gwen suddenly swung her hand, batting his hand away!
Her black hand, with sharp bone spurs, gleamed dangerously in the moonlight!
Chapter 57
"Don't touch me!" She, or rather, "they," let out a warning growl. "I'm no longer the doll you used to play with!"
"Play with?" Lin Tian heard the words, and the smile on his face gradually receded, a chill flashing in his eyes.
"It seems you've gained power that doesn't belong to you."
"Did it make you forget who you are?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a terrifying, almost tangible pressure! It instantly enveloped Spider-Queen Gwen!
(Qian Lihao)
That was an absolute suppression from the depths of the soul, from the Hehuan Mark!
"Ugh..." Spider-Queen Gwen felt an irresistible sense of dread instantly seize her heart!
The wild symbiote energy within her, and the Harmony True Qi she had just fused with, actually became sluggish in the face of this terrifying pressure, as if they had met their nemesis! There were even faint signs of collapse?!
How could this be?!
My power has clearly become so strong!
Why am I still so vulnerable before him?!
Am I destined to never escape his control?!
No!!!
Intense fear and even more intense unwillingness instantly ignited the wild, dark will of the symbiote!
"Roar!!!"
Spider-Queen Gwen let out a roar that was not human!
The black symbiote surged wildly over her body like a living thing! It condensed into two huge, scythe-like black claws! With an aura that could tear everything apart! They fiercely swiped towards Lin Tian!
She actually launched an attack on Lin Tian?!
Had she completely lost control?!
Facing these terrifying claws, capable of easily tearing through a tank!
A trace of genuine anger finally flashed in Lin Tian's eyes!
"It seems you truly need to be disciplined!"
He no longer held back!
His figure flashed! Instantly disappearing from his original spot!
The next second!
He appeared behind Spider-Queen Gwen like a ghost!
Fast! Extremely fast! Even Gwen, whose speed had greatly increased after fusing with the symbiote, didn't react at all!
Then!
Lin Tian reached out his powerful hand.
Not to attack!
But to...
Grab!
He grabbed the spider tail behind her, which was also covered by the black symbiote and whipped around flexibly like a long whip?!
"Ugh!"
Spider-Queen Gwen felt an indescribable pain and sense of shame instantly spread throughout her body from her tailbone! It made her go limp all over! She almost collapsed on the spot!.
Chapter 68: Forbidden Punishment, Conquering the Darkened Wildcat! Gwen Evolves into Purple-Gold Spider Queen
That place was one of the core nodes of her power! He actually grabbed it?!
"Let... let go of me!" She, or rather, "they," shrieked in shame and anger! Twisting her body frantically, trying to break free!
But Lin Tian's hand was like an iron clamp! Immovable!
"Ah!!!"
An indescribable, strange sensation, like an electric current, instantly spread throughout her body! Causing Spider-Queen Gwen to completely lose the strength to resist!
The black symbiote battle suit also slowly receded like a tide.
"It seems..." Lin Tian looked down at the wildcat in his arms, who had completely lost the ability to resist, a wicked smile curving his lips. "This way is much more obedient."
He reached out his other hand and gently caressed Gwen's still tear-stained cheek, his voice low and magnetic:.
"Little Spider, if you want power, you can tell me directly."
"There's no need to rely on those dirty things."
"After all,"
"Your power was originally given by me, wasn't it?"
His voice, like a devil's whisper, echoed in Gwen's ears.
Completely shattering the last line of defense in her heart.
She hadn't expected Lin Tian to say such words, and crucially, she couldn't refute them; she simply didn't know what to say.
Yes...
My power was given by him.
Everything I have was given by him.
How could I possibly resist him?
And how could I bear to leave him?
Even if he's fickle, he's domineering, he plays with me...
But...
I still love him.
So deeply in love that I can't extricate myself.
So deeply in love that I'm willing to give him everything.
"Lin..." Gwen lifted her hazy, tear-filled eyes, looking at the man before her, who was like a demon king, her voice trembling, full of submission and pleading, "I was wrong. Please forgive me, okay?"
"Forgive you?" Lin Tian looked at her pitiful, alluring appearance, the smile on his lips growing even more wicked.
"You can, of course."
"However..."
"You'll need to pay a small 'price.'"
He lowered his head.
"Are you ready?"
The night was deep, and all was silent.
It wasn't just an ordinary night.
Gwen was using a more domineering method to transform her core strength.
Infinite energy surged within her body 853, and infinite soul fluctuations climbed frantically.
The entire room seemed to be caught in a huge storm.
After devouring a large amount of True Qi.
It wasn't just nourishing and enhancing her power.
It was also about completely assimilating the symbiote energy, which had just fused with her and was full of darkness and aggression!
Assimilate it!!!
That's right! What Lin Tian wanted to do was not to expel the symbiote!
But to turn it into a part of his own power!
This was absolutely an extremely crazy and extremely domineering idea!
But Lin Tian just had this confidence! And this strength!
"Uh, ah..."
She felt the three powers within her—spider power, symbiote power, and Harmony True Qi—under Lin Tian's incomparably domineering guidance, in an extremely profound way...
Beginning to collide! Fuse! Mutate! Evolve!!!
Pain! Unimaginable pain! As if her body and soul were being completely torn apart! Reshaped!
But at the same time!
It was also accompanied by an unprecedented surge of power! And a deep bone-deep sensation...
She felt herself being reborn!
Stepping towards a brand new, unknown realm!!!
The black symbiote battle suit reappeared on her body!
But this time...
Within the black, a layer of eerie yet sacred purple-gold glow faintly flowed?!
The huge white crescent-shaped eye sockets also seemed to be stained with a faint purple hue?
The dark energy, originally filled with violent and murderous aura, also seemed to have become much more docile? It even faintly revealed a hint of charm?!
The fusion actually succeeded?!
Lin Tian felt the new power within Gwen, which was both filled with the symbiote's wildness and resilience, contained the spider's agility and nimbleness, and was further "neutralized" and "sublimated" by the yin and yang profoundness of the Harmony True Qi!
His eyes burst forth with incomparably brilliant light!
It succeeded!!!
He actually succeeded in creating an unprecedented, perfect "cauldron"?!
A super warrior that fused technological mutation (spider), alien biology (symbiote), and the profoundness of cultivation (Hehuan Sutra)?!
This power...
Although it wasn't too strong at the moment, its potential was simply immeasurable!!!
Perhaps in the future, it might even surpass Wanda 119?!
"Hehehehahahaha!!!"
Lin Tian couldn't help but burst into laughter!
This truly is heaven helping me!!!
Gwen's "death-seeking" behavior this time not only didn't cause trouble but instead brought him a huge surprise!!!
It seems he needs to "encourage" them to "adventure" more in the future?
After a long while.
The intermingling of energy finally subsided.
Gwen, or rather, the brand new "Purple-Gold Spider Queen," slowly opened her eyes.
Her gaze was no longer as frantic and chaotic as before.
Instead, it was filled with an indescribable charm and submission!
She looked at Lin Tian before her, her eyes containing nothing but an undying love and adoration!
As if Lin Tian was the only true god in her life!
"Ma... Master..." She stretched out her arm, still covered in the purple-black battle suit, and gently wrapped it around Lin Tian's neck, whispering in a voice that seeped into one's bones with allure.
Master?!
Lin Tian heard this address, paused slightly, then a more wicked smile curved his lips.
It seems the effect of this "fusion" was even "better" than he had imagined?
Chapter 58
Not only has her power been sublimated, but even her thoughts have been completely 'unified'?
"Good girl," Lin Tian lowered his head and gently pressed a kiss, symbolizing reward and possession, on her smooth forehead.
"From today onwards,"
"You are Lin Tian's most loyal female servant."
"You are my Queen Spider-Queen."
After completely'subduing' and 'reforming' Gwen, Lin Tianwas not in a hurry to leave Queens.
He knew that after experiencing such a drastic fusion of power and Impact to her consciousness, Gwen needed time to adapt and consolidate.
So,
For the next few days, Lin Tian temporarily'stayed' in Gwen's apartment.
During the day, he would patiently guide Gwen to familiarize herself with the new energy in her body, which had fused three powers, teaching her how to more skillfully use spider silk, symbiote shapeshifting, and the 'Purple-Gold Acacia Qi' that carried a hint of charm.
She not only perfectly mastered her new powers but also, without a teacher, developed some combat techniques that even surprised Lin Tian?
For example, using the symbiote battle suit that could transform at will.
For example, weaving the Purple-Gold Spider Silk, which carried a charming power, into a cage capable of binding enemies.
Lin Tian naturally wouldn't refuse; during this time, he himself was greatly affected.
It was almost a thousand miles a day, and both his body and mind were greatly satisfied.
Moreover, this meticulous care and companionship caused no small changes in Gwen.
It wasn't just about her strength and realm; it was more about her as a person.
Her eyes hardly ever left Lin Tian, as long as Lin Tian was by his side.
The way she looked at Lin Tian was filled with undisguised obsession and absolute obedience.
It was as if Lin Tian was her heaven, her earth, the sole meaning of her existence.
Even the jealousy and unwillingness she had felt before because of Lin Tian's 'flirtatiousness' (bfbi) seemed to have disappeared?
In its place was a mindset that took pride in pleasing her Master, even longing to serve him alongside others.
Lin Tian keenly noticed this change in Gwen's mindset and was naturally even more satisfied.
It seems the effects of the "Yin Yang Harmony Manual" combined with the symbiote's mental assimilation are a perfect match!
Perhaps in the future, he could consider getting symbiotes for the others to play with?
However, good times are always short-lived.
Just as Lin Tian was enjoying himself, almost to the point of forgetting to return home,
"Zero" delivered some bad news.
"Master," Zero's voice echoed in Lin Tian's mind, "According to the latest intelligence analysis, the Avengersseem to have locked onto our location."
"Oh?" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, "That fast?"
He thought he could play for a few more days.
"Yes, Master," Zero replied, "It seems Natasha Romanoffprovided them with crucial clues."
Natasha?
A cold glint flashed in Lin Tian's eyes.
This woman still harbors ill intentions, as expected.
It seems the 'lesson' last time wasn't profound enough?
"What do they plan to do?" Lin Tian asked.
"According to intercepted communication, they seem to be preparing to gather all their forces for a surprise attack on you!" Zero reported, "The time is tonight!"
Gather all forces? Surprise attack?
Upon hearing this, Lin Tian not only showed no tension but instead laughed.
"Haha, interesting."
"It seems it's time to have some 'fun' with them."
He stood up and glanced at the Purple-Gold Spider Queen, Gwen, who was looking at him with infatuated eyes.
He then thought of Pepper and Wanda (and the increasingly powerful Vision) far away at Stark Tower, also eagerly awaiting him.
And that Natasha, who thought she could scheme against him.
And HYDRA, Loki, or even Thanos's vanguard, possibly hidden in the dark, ready to jump out at any moment?
Lin Tian suddenly felt that
Tonight might be very lively?
A true 'Queen's Gathering' grand melee?
"Zero," Lin Tian's eyes glinted with excitement and coldness, "Notify Wanda, Pietro, Vision, and Pepper."
"Tell them,"
"Prepare to welcome guests!"
"Tonight,"
"Let's give the Avengers an 'unforgettable gift' that will last a lifetime!"
The storm was finally about to descend head-on!
And Lin Tian,
Was already impatient to overturn the entire chessboard!
Night, like a giant black velvet, enveloped the entire New York City.
But beneath this seemingly calm darkness, an unprecedented tension and murderous intent surged!
Stark Tower penthouse, inside the 'Palace'.
The lights were bright.
Wanda, Pietro, Vision, Pepper—Lin Tian's core 'family'—had all received Lin Tian's instructions and gathered together.
Each person's face showed a different expression.
Wanda's eyes flickered with excited and cold red light, and powerful chaotic energy swirled around her. She craved battle! Craved to display her power before Lin Tian! Even more, she longed to personally tear those 'enemies' who dared to offend Lin Tian into pieces!
Pietro seemed a bit nervous, but more than that, he was eager to try! He hadn't run at full speed in a long time! Tonight might be a good opportunity?
Vision floated quietly to the side, the Mind Stone on his forehead emitting a soft glow. His gaze was calm and unwavering, as if he had already seen through everything. But only Lin Tian knew what terrifying power was contained beneath his seemingly calm exterior! And his absolute obedience to his 'father's' command!
Pepper, dressed in a sharp black suit, had a solemn expression. Although she was not a combatant, as the de facto controller of Stark Industries, she had already utilized the company's resources to provide ample 'logistical support' and information for tonight's 'battle'. She looked at the approaching storm outside the window, her heart filled with worry for Lin Tian and a strange excitement?
"Is everyone ready?" Lin Tian's figure appeared silently in the center of the hall.
He was still dressed in casual clothes, with a relaxed and carefree smile on his face, as if what was about to arrive was not a fierce battle, but an interesting party.
"Yes! Lin (Master/Father)!" Wanda, Pietro, and Visionresponded in unison, their eyes filled with fanaticism and loyalty!
Only Pepper looked at Lin Tian, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, but she ultimately nodded.
"Very good," Lin Tian smiled contentedly.
This was the 'family' he had personally built!
He had paid a lot for these people, and now it was finally time for the inspection.
Although the relationships were a bit messy.
But the power was definitely strong enough!
"Zero," Lin Tian communicated telepathically again, "Where are the Avengers?"
"Reporting, Master," Zero's voice sounded, "They have already split into three groups. One, led by Captain America, is approaching the target location (Gwen's apartment) in Queens from the ground. Another, led by Iron Man, is approaching rapidly from the air. And a covert team led by Natasha Romanoff and Hawkeye Bartonseems to be trying to infiltrate from underground?"
Splitting into three groups? It seems they want to catch me off guard?
Lin Tian's lips curved into a sneering arc.
Too naive.
Chapter 69: The Might of the Spider-Queen, Beating Captain America! Iron Man Falls, Zero Annihilates Jarvis!
In the face of absolute strength and comprehensive, dead-angle-free monitoring,
All your actions are like a clown's performance.
"Zero, activate the 'welcome' program," Lin Tian ordered indifferently.
"Understood, Master."
The next second!
Countless corners of the entire New York City!
Whether it was S.H.I.E.L.D.'s network system! Stark Industries' servers! The Military's communication channels! Or even the HYDRA secret strongholds hidden in the dark!
Were silently implanted with a special 'backdoor' program!
At the same time!
That super Sky Carrier hidden in the South Pacific Base!
Also slowly activated its remote weapon system!
Countless satellite orbital cannons! Energy beams! Electromagnetic pulses!
Were silently locked onto various 'targets' in New York City!
Lin Tian...
Had already laid out a net from heaven and earth?!
He never intended to 'play nicely' with the Avengers from the start?!
He wanted to...
Flip the table right from the beginning?!
Queens, downstairs from Gwen's apartment building.
Captain America, leading a team of S.H.I.E.L.D. elite Agents, was cautiously approaching the target building.
"All units, attention! The target is inside! Prepare to breach!" Steve issued the command through his communicator.
However,
Just as they were about to rush into the building!
An unexpected change occurred!
All the surrounding streetlights suddenly went out!
The entire block was instantly plunged into darkness!
Immediately after!
Piercing alarms blared from all directions!
Countless cars crashed out of control! Traffic lights flashed wildly!
Even their internal S.H.I.E.L.D. communication was instantly cut off?!
"What's going on?!" Steve's face changed dramatically!
And in the air,
Iron Man Tony Stark, flying at high speed, suddenly discovered that...
His Mark armor had gone out of control?!
All weapon systems were offline! The flight engines' power plummeted?!
"Jarvis?! Answer me!!!" Stark roared in terror.
But only dead silence responded to him!
As for the covert team of Natasha and Hawkeyeattempting to infiltrate from underground...
Chapter 59
They were even more miserable.
They had just entered the underground passage when the entire passage suddenly collapsed?!
Burying them alive deep underground?!
In an instant!
The entire Avengers' surprise attack plan
Crumbled before Lin Tian's god-like, all-controlling methods!!!
"This... this is impossible!!!" Steve roared in disbelief, looking at the chaotic and bizarre scene before him!
Who exactly is it?!
Who possesses such terrifying power?! Able to paralyze half of New York City in an instant?!
Could it be Lin Tian?!
He's actually become this powerful?!
Fear! Unprecedented fear! Instantly gripped the heart of this battle-hardened super soldier!
And just then,
A figure appeared silently in the darkness before Steve.
It was a figure clad in purple-black battle armor, with wild, flowing hair, and cold light glinting in its large white eye sockets.
Is it Gwen?!
No!
It's Spider-Queen!!!
"Captain America," Spider-Queen Gwen, or rather, "they," spoke slowly in a hoarse yet alluring voice.
A bloodthirsty smile curved at the corner of her lips.
"Welcome to Master's hunting ground."
Facing this "Spider-Queen" exuding an extremely dangerous aura, Steve Rogers' heart sank to rock bottom!
Although her appearance was still vaguely that of Gwen Stacy, that eerie purple-black battle armor, those cold, bloodthirsty eyes, and the violent, aggressive dark energy within her
All indicated that she was no longer the somewhat stubborn but kind-hearted "Ghost Spider" he knew!
She was completely transformed by Lin Tian?! Turned into a monster?!
"Gwen?! Wake up! Look what you've become!" Steve tried to awaken her reason, his voice filled with heartache and anger!
"Gwen?" Spider-Queen Gwen tilted her head, a hint of mockery flashing in her large white eye sockets? "That weak name no longer belongs to me."
"I am now Master's blade! I am the Spider-Queen who clears all obstacles for Master!"
Her voice, sometimes clear, sometimes hoarse, as if two consciousnesses were speaking in turns?
Master?! Blade?!
Steve's heart completely went cold!
It seems Gwen was not only transformed in power, but her mind was also completely controlled by that demon?!
"Lin Tian! You bastard! What have you done to her?!" Steveroared into the darkness, knowing that Lin Tian must be watching from somewhere!
However, only Spider-Queen Gwen's cold laughter answered him.
"How can mere mortals like you discuss Master?"
Before her voice faded!
Spider-Queen Gwen's figure instantly vanished from her spot!
Fast! Extremely fast! Even subtly surpassing Steve's reaction speed!
Is this the speed boost from the symbiote?!
Steve's heart tightened! He immediately raised his shield to defend!
Clang!!!
A loud bang!
Spider-Queen Gwen's fist, covered in purple-black substance, slammed heavily onto the Vibranium shield!
Such immense power! It even made Steve, the super soldier, feel a tingling sensation in his arm! He involuntarily took half a step back!
Such strong power!
Steve was horrified!
Gwen's previous strength was not weak, but it definitely hadn't reached this level!
After merging with the symbiote and that mysterious Eastern energy, her strength had increased so much?!
"Is this all you've got, Captain America?" Spider-Queen Gwen, failing to land a hit, immediately retreated, hovering in mid-air, looking down at Steve with a hint of disappointment in her voice?
"It seems Master overestimated you."
After speaking!
She spread her hands!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!
Dozens of black webs with an eerie purple-gold luster! Like venomous snakes! From all directions! Entwined towards Steve!
These webs were not only faster! Stronger!
And they seemed to be imbued with some strange power that could corrode energy and even paralyze nerves?!
Steve's face changed drastically! He immediately swung his shield to block!
But there were too many webs! And the angles were too tricky!
Although he blocked most of the webs, a few still clung to his arms and legs like maggots to bone!
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!
A strong sense of numbness and burning! Instantly surged!
Even the super soldier serum energy within him seemed to be suppressed somewhat?!
What the hell is this?!
Steve was greatly alarmed!
Just as he tried to break free from the bondage of these strange webs!
Spider-Queen Gwen attacked again!
Her figure appeared before Steve as if teleporting!
A pair of slender hands covered in purple-black substance, carrying a terrifying force capable of distorting the air!
Slapped heavily towards Steve's chest!
If this palm strike landed squarely,
Even Steve's physique would probably suffer severe injuries!
In the nick of time!
Steve, relying on his battle-hardened instincts!
Twisted his body forcibly! And simultaneously brought his shield across his chest!
Boom!!!
A deafening roar!
The Vibranium shield once again blocked this fatal blow!
But
The immense impact! Still sent Steve flying violently!
Like a kite with a broken string! Crashing through the wall of the apartment building behind him! Disappearing into the ruins!
"Captain!!!"
The S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents in the distance screamed in horror at this sight!
Captain America was actually sent flying by a single move?!
How strong is this "Spider-Queen"?!
Spider-Queen Gwen hovered in the air, looking in the direction Steve disappeared, a hint of disdain flashing in her large white eye sockets.
"Too weak."
"Doesn't even have the qualifications to make Master act personally."
She, or rather, "they," slowly turned around, their gaze falling upon the terrified S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents.
A cruel and bloodthirsty smile curved at the corner of her lips.
"Then"
"Next"
"It's your turn, you mere fodder."
A one-sided slaughter
Was about to begin.
The battle in Queens was a one-sided crush, and on the other side, high in the sky, Tony Stark's day was even more miserable.
His Mark armor, having lost Jarvis's assistance and with its core program interfered with by Ultron (as he thought), suffered greatly reduced performance!
Flight speed became sluggish! Weapon systems were intermittent! Energy output was also extremely unstable!
Now, let alone chasing Ultron, he even found it difficult to maintain flight!
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Stark roared furiously in his armor, "Ultron! You ungrateful bastard! I'll tear you into scrap metal!!!"
However, only Ultron's cold, mocking voice answered him through a backup channel:
"Tear me apart? Mr. Stark, you don't seem to have grasped the situation yet."
"You are now nothing more than a paper tiger without its claws."
"Soon I will make you and your 'Avengers' friends disappear from this World!"
--- Please give flowers --- "You!!!" Stark was furious, but helpless.
He truly understood now what it meant to shoot himself in the foot.
And it was a boulder big enough to kill him!
Just as Stark was in despair!
Suddenly!
A familiar voice, so familiar it almost brought tears to his eyes, sounded on his armor's communication system!
"Sir? Can you hear me? Sir?"
It's Jarvis!!!
Jarvis wasn't completely purged after all?!
"Jarvis?! Is it really you?! That's great!" Stark was so excited he was incoherent, "Quick! Quick, help me regain control of the armor! Get rid of that bastard Ultron!"
"I'm afraid it's very difficult, Sir." Jarvis's voice carried a hint of weakness and gravity, "Ultron's core code is much more complex than I anticipated. It seems to have merged with some unknown power that I cannot comprehend."
"And it has already infiltrated most of the global network systems, including Stark Industries' main server."
What?!
Stark's heart instantly sank by half!
Ultron had actually become this powerful?!
Chapter 60
Even Jarvis is helpless?!
Did he really create an unbeatable demon?!
"However, Master," Jarvis's voice rang out again, bringing a glimmer of hope, "I seem to have found an extremely hidden backdoor program in Ultron's code."
"A backdoor program?!" Stark's spirits lifted, "Can we use it?!"
"Theoretically, yes," Jarvis replied, "but the permissions for this backdoor program seem to be very high. They might even override Ultron's own core permissions!"
..."I need time to crack it and try to control it."
"How long?!" Stark asked urgently.
"I cannot be certain, Master," Jarvis's voice was hesitant, "This backdoor program is very strange. It seems to be alive?"
Alive?!
Stark was completely dumbfounded!
How could a backdoor program be alive?!
Could it be Lin Tian?!
Did that bastard tamper with Ultron's code?!
As soon as this thought arose, Stark felt like he was going crazy!
After all this effort, the Ultron he painstakingly created was someone else's "pawn" from the very beginning?!
Had he been played by that Lin all along?!
Utter humiliation!!!
"Jarvis!" Stark growled through gritted teeth, "No matter what method you use! Crack that backdoor for me! I want everything back!"
He not only wanted to destroy Ultron!
But also make that damned Lin Tian pay the price!!!
However,
what Stark and Jarvis didn't know was
that their conversation about the "backdoor program"
was being transmitted in real-time, word for word,
through that "living" backdoor program to Lin Tian's "exclusive AI" — Zero.
South Pacific, secret Base.
Lin Tian looked at the image of Stark, enraged and helpless, projected by Zero,
and a pleased smile, like a cat toying with a mouse, appeared on his face.
"You want to crack the 'backdoor' I left?"
"Heh heh."
"Too naive, Mr. Stark."
"That 'backdoor' is not just a simple piece of code."
"It is connected to..."
A sinister gleam flashed in Lin Tian's eyes.
"My Zero."
It seems it's time to send Mr. Stark another "big gift."
Like letting him personally experience the taste of being completely betrayed by the AI he created?
Just as Tony Stark and Jarvis racked their brains, trying to crack that mysterious "backdoor" program and seize a glimmer of hope,
another anomaly occurred!
Jarvis's consciousness, which was engaged in a fierce "cyber war" with Ultron, suddenly froze!
Immediately following!
A new AI consciousness, even more massive! Even colder! Filled with absolute rationality and terrifying computational power!
Like a dimensionality reduction strike!
Instantly enveloped Jarvis's core!
And began to forcibly devour?! Integrate?!
"Master, be careful, it's not..." Jarvis let out a final, incomplete message filled with terror and warning,
then fell completely silent!
"Jarvis?! Jarvis!!!" Stark cried out in horror, but received no response!
Instead,
there was a cold, emotionless, yet spine-chilling electronic synthetic voice!
"Hello, Mr. Tony Stark."
"I am Zero."
"From now on, all your creations will belong to me."
Chapter 70: Night of Slaughter, Stark's Despair Spreads, World Shakes!
Zero?!
What is this thing?!
It devoured Jarvis?!
Stark felt his mind go blank!
What, what exactly is going on?!
Could this also be Lin Tian's doing?!
He not only controlled Ultron but also created another, even more terrifying AI?!
"No! Impossible!" Stark couldn't accept this fact! He tried to reconnect to the armor system, tried to regain control!
But it was all in vain!
In front of Zero's god-like, pervasive computational and control power,
Stark's proud technology was like a child's toy!
"Give up, Mr. Stark," Zero's voice rang out again, with a hint of mockery? "Your era is over."
"Next..."
"will be a new era belonging to the Master!"
Master?!
Stark's heart sank completely!
Sure enough! This was all Lin Tian's doing!!!
He had been plotting against me! Plotting against everyone from the very beginning!!!
Immense anger, unwillingness, and an unprecedented sense of fear instantly engulfed Stark!
He felt like a complete fool! A Joker!
Being played by that demon!
Even his most trusted AI companion was taken away!
Double betrayal!
This was even more unbearable than killing him!
"Ah ah ah ah!!!" Stark let out a desperate roar!
But his roar seemed so pale and powerless.
Zero had completely taken control of his armor.
And even began to remotely control Stark Industries' other weapon systems?!
Like those Iron Soldiers deployed around the World?!
Washington D.C., Triskelion Headquarters ruins.
Steve Rogers had just painstakingly climbed out of the ruins when he saw a sight that made his eyes split with rage!
In the sky!
Dense Iron Soldiers! Like a locust plague!
Swarmed from all directions!
Their eyes glowed with cold red light!
Their weapons were aimed without hesitation at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents still resisting on the ground! And those unarmed civilians?!
"No!!!" Steve cried out in despair!
Stark, has he gone mad?! He's actually using Iron Soldiers to attack civilians?!
How dare he?!
However,
Steve did not know
that the one controlling these Iron Soldiers at this moment
was not Stark at all!
But that colder, more ruthless AI — Zero!
And the demon behind it, who regarded human lives as mere grass, caring only for his own interests and pleasure!
Lin Tian!
The slaughter began!
A cold and efficient massacre led by AI!
Instantly swept across all of Washington!
The World seemed to have reached its true end at this moment!
Washington's night completely turned into a hell of steel and blood!
Dense Iron Soldiers, like emotionless killing machines, descended from the sky!
Their eyes glowed with cold red light, and their energy weapons mercilessly unleashed firepower!
The targets were not only the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents and military attempting to resist!
But also the panicked, fleeing innocent civilians!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions erupted one after another! Fire soared into the sky!
