Chapter 42 - Battle

"Four Arms!"

After Ben pressed the watch, his body immediately began to change.

Under Doctor Connors' astonished gaze, the battle suit on his body disappeared, replaced by black and white striped clothing. His entire skin turned red and rough.

His body suddenly grew taller, and a second pair of arms sprouted from his ribs!

At this moment, Ben felt as if he had the strength to lift the entire world!

He stretched out his four arms, unleashing his immense, uncontainable power. His roar made the building tremble!

His height doubled instantly, reaching 12 feet, or 3.66 meters, almost as tall as the colossal Dinosaur Man, Connors!

A Tetramand!

Of the ten initial heroes from the first generation, he represented strength and combat!

His record included defeating Princess Looma, who had defeated Humungousaur, making him the undisputed king of combat among all Tetramands!

"Ready to get beaten, Connors!"

Ben slammed his four fists together, his bones cracking.

In contrast, although Connors felt he was facing a formidable opponent, his eyes held more confusion.

Red skin, four arms, four eyes—

"Did you really turn into a spider?" He chuckled, his gaze towards Ben no longer aggressive, but rather like looking at one of his own kind. "Look at you now, how powerful! You've finally shed that pathetic human body!"

"Having experienced this power, why do you still try to stop me?"

He clenched his fist and spoke passionately, as if delivering a speech.

"Do I even need to answer that?"

"Of course, it's because I don't want a frog-faced, bad-breathed lizard man as my girlfriend!" Ben said matter-of-factly.

If Felicia or Mary Jane turned into Connors' current form…

Ben shuddered to think. With those sharp teeth and foul breath, a single bite would probably only be survivable by Diamondhead's little brother?

"You're so selfish!" Connors said with disgust.

"You could have changed the world, but you tried to hoard the potential for human evolution for yourself. Your selfishness is burying humanity's future!"

Hearing Connors' words, Ben let out a cold laugh:

"Don't joke, Connors!"

"The potential for human evolution? Do you think you can make choices for humanity? Do you think you're God? Do you really think everyone wants to become a monster like you?"

"Then how can you be sure they don't?" Connors retorted.

"How do you know that those who are incomplete, those tormented by illness, those looked down upon and trampled by others… they don't desire this power?"

Every word he spoke was about himself, yet it was also about everyone else living in humiliation beneath the bustling New York.

Facing that damn reality, there were plenty of people willing to make a deal with the devil!

Even Ben himself, if he didn't have superpowers, if he didn't have the Omnitrix, would he be afraid of becoming a monster to gain the power to protect his family?

He wouldn't!

But now, he couldn't let Connors do this.

He knew Connors might genuinely want to benefit all of humanity, and he also understood that there were indeed people in this world willing to make deals with the devil.

But he didn't care.

He only knew that Uncle Ben and Aunt May wouldn't want to become monsters, and he didn't want the number of superpowered individuals to flood the world, as that would only put Uncle Ben and Aunt May in greater danger.

He had only one thought now:

"I have nothing to say to you, Connors. Prepare to be beaten!"

Ben's four fists collided, the powerful impact creating a gust of wind!

Connors clearly had lost interest in talking as well. He now viewed Ben as a thorn in the side of human evolution, and all he wanted was to tear Ben apart and devour all four of his arms alive!

Connors' claws slashed through the air!

This time, Ben didn't dodge. Instead, he charged forward like a red tank.

Connors' claws were sharp, and his skin was incredibly tough.

*BOOM!!!*

The two collided, the shockwave instantly solidifying!

At the center of their impact, a violent wind swirled like the eye of a typhoon!

The force of the collision cracked the walls on all sides!

The moment Connors collided with Ben, he realized something was wrong—the power of the monster before him was astonishingly immense!

He felt like he had slammed into a city wall several meters thick. The red monster remained unmoved, while his own arms ached.

Connors instinctively tried to retreat, but after taking just one step back, he found himself unable to move.

Four Arms' two arms beneath his ribs gripped Connors' wrists tightly, the immense strength making it impossible for Connors to break free!

"You said you wanted to snap my head off, right?" Ben grinned menacingly. He clasped his two strongest arms together, raising them high as if to hit a volleyball!

The shadows of his thick arms fell across Connors' vision.

Connors looked up and met Ben's four dim, yellow eyes. In that moment, he was once again reminded of the pathetic powerlessness he felt as a human.

"Wait..."

But the fist, as large as a casserole pot, smashed down fiercely!

"*BAM!!!*"

Instantly, the ground beneath Connors shattered!

Even the surface seemed to sink several centimeters—

Connors felt his brains almost explode. The heavy punch slammed down, forcing his upper and lower jaws together. His sharp teeth, capable of tearing steel, all fell out under the immense force.

Stars swam before his eyes, and then he felt his wrists go slack. At the same time, another force trapped his head.

Ben grabbed Connors' head with one hand, lifting him to eye level, and asked in a gruff voice:

"Tell me, where is Animo?"

Even though Connors had been defeated, Animo, who controlled mutant genes, hadn't appeared yet. In comparison, Animo was the truly dangerous and insane mad scientist.

"Doctor Animo..."

Connors felt dizzy and disoriented, but upon hearing Animo's name, he let out a laugh.

"You lost, Parker..." he said weakly.

"You think you've beaten me, but soon, Doctor Animo will use the Canary Device and the Gene Variator to evolve everyone in New York!"

He laughed mockingly.

"How many people can you defeat?"

"And out of those people, how many are your friends and family?"

These words enraged Ben.

The thought of Aunt May and Uncle Ben turning into hideous monsters made Ben's anger uncontrollable.

A fire ignited in his chest.

"I just know I can flatten you!"

He tossed Connors upwards, his four arms pulling back their fists like a drawn bow, his entire body's muscles coiled like dragons.

*CRACK!*

The moment he threw the punch, the air exploded!

His four arms moved like a sudden downpour!
