"Spider-Man?"
George Stacy opened his eyes and saw Spider-Man, clad in his red and blue uniform, standing in front of him.
Peter held the Prowler's arm in one hand, his slender wrist possessing immense strength. No matter how the Prowler struggled, he couldn't break free.
Peter tilted his head and looked at George Stacy, saying emotionally, "Chief, I had no idea I was so great in your eyes!"
He was referring to the kind words George Stacy had spoken for him earlier, in order to convict the Green Goblin.
"Shut up!"
Stacy's face immediately turned as ugly as if he'd swallowed a fly.
It was one thing to speak well of Spider-Man against his own wishes, but to have the man himself overhear it was too much for his old pride.
Fortunately, the current situation didn't allow Peter and him to talk further. The Prowler, realizing he couldn't escape Spider-Man's grip, immediately changed tactics. He brought his other hand together, fingers pointed like a spearhead, and lunged for Peter's eyes.
And so, his other hand was also caught by Peter...
"Hey, man, you've got two metal arms!" Peter exclaimed in surprise, his talkative nature fully exposed at this moment. "And your cloak, are you imitating Batman? Let me guess, your nickname must be Purple Bat, or Gay Bat?"
"Let go of me, Spider-Man!"
The Prowler angrily kicked Peter in the abdomen, but Peter was much more agile than he expected.
"I'll let you go right now."
Peter shouted, and at the same time, pushed off with his feet, his body spinning like a windmill. He flipped forward, dodging the Prowler's attack, and also threw the Prowler away.
"Goodbye, Gay Batman!"
The Prowler, thrown through the air, spread his cloak. The stiff material acted like gliding wings, cushioning his fall and preventing him from taking damage.
"Whoa, a bat suit."
"Do you have batarangs too?"
Peter asked excitedly, but the next moment, his Spider-Sense flared. He instinctively crouched, and then saw a dark figure attack like a beast!
Kraven missed, landing on the courtroom table like a mountain cat. His hunched body turned back, the lion's mane on his shoulders shaking.
"Spider-Man!"
Kraven's eyes gleamed with excitement. In just a glance, he had sensed that Spider-Man's strength was extraordinary.
This was exactly what he wanted!
Only a powerful prey was worth hunting.
"And who are you, little kitty?"
Peter asked.
Although he wore a mask, the battle suit Ben had made for him allowed him to express his current emotions.
The two eye lenses on Peter's mask were now one large and one small, seemingly filled with confusion.
Kraven carried almost no equipment, yet Peter's Spider-Sense told him that this man was even more dangerous than the previous one.
This was because Kraven was a villain with superpowers.
His abilities came from a mysterious Wakandan ritual: the Yansan-An Ritual, as well as herbs and serums that could grant power to others.
The Wakandan people worshipped beast gods.
It could be said that Kraven, like Peter, had received power derived from beast totems.
"Spider-Man, you are my prey!" Kraven excitedly reached out to Spider-Man, his bent fingers curling like claws.
Peter shivered instantly, goosebumps covering his skin.
"Okay, you're more like a gay than that purple guy earlier, man." He waved his hand, then rubbed his arms and took a step back, looking like he was politely refusing. "I'm not going to be your boyfriend."
Hearing this, Kraven didn't get angry. He just smirked cruelly, "I just need you as my specimen!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he attacked again.
Kraven seemed to shake like a powerful beast. The moment he swung his arm, the wind of the wilderness rushed towards Peter.
"Distance makes the heart grow fonder, buddy."
Peter quickly retreated, raising his arm to shoot a web at his opponent.
"Besides, I don't like it when people are too forward."
The surging web shot out, but Kraven leaped, dodging the web, and then kicked.
Peter bent down to dodge, his gaze passing between his legs to see the Prowler flying towards the Green Goblin.
"Stay away from him!"
Peter immediately shot a web from a distance, but the next moment, Kraven, lunging from behind, pinned him to the ground.
"Hahaha!"
The Green Goblin laughed maniacally.
However, the next moment, two short clubs flew from a dark corner. The rope connecting the clubs instantly bound the Prowler, sending him crashing to the ground.
"Daredevil!"
Peter shouted happily.
He really hadn't expected Daredevil to show up here.
Matt had ducked into a corner while evacuating with Norman, and luckily, he'd anticipated this unexpected turn of events and prepared his suit in advance.
That's how he was able to stop Prowler in time.
But they didn't have long to celebrate. With Matt's appearance, a thick fog suddenly rose.
In an instant, dozens of sharp blades tore through the gray mist, lunging at Matt!
"The Hand's ninjas?"
Matt recognized them.
Not just him; Spider-Man recognized the ninjas too.
A month ago, shortly before meeting Muse, Peter and Matt had been surrounded by these ninjas. Matt had been seriously injured then, and Peter had brought him home.
Now, facing the onslaught of shurikens, Matt quickly dodged. However, in the next second, the flying shurikens collided in mid-air, instantly changing trajectory and shooting towards Green Goblin!
Green Goblin raised both his arms.
"Clang!"
Sparks flew.
The special handcuffs binding him were struck, and then, with his immense strength, he shattered them.
"I'm finally free!"
Green Goblin laughed maniacally, like a grotesque bat.
He raised a heavy table with his arms and furiously smashed it at Peter.
At this moment, the ninjas surrounded the court like ghosts.
Green Goblin was free again, Prowler had broken free from his restraints with his claws, Kraven the Hunter watched menacingly, and Peter and Matt were isolated and helpless.
Matt finally understood.
This was aimed at him!
"Spider-Man, they don't just want to rescue Green Goblin; they plan to kill us too."
Facing so many enemies, both Matt and Peter felt immense pressure.
Even though Peter possessed superpowers, he wasn't the only one with them now. Green Goblin and Kraven had superhuman strength.
Kraven took a step forward and said, "I only want Spider-Man!"
"How about calling your other spider friend?" Matt turned his head towards Peter, asking for help.
"Good idea."
Peter nodded and, like a traffic cop, held out his palm towards the advancing Kraven, signaling him to stop.
To his surprise, Kraven actually stopped and stood with his arms crossed, waiting.
Meanwhile, Prowler, whose mind was only on the million dollars he'd get for rescuing Green Goblin, didn't want any trouble. He was already planning his escape.
A million dollars was a lot, but not enough for him to risk his life.
Seeing no one making a move, Green Goblin also looked around warily.
Thus, for a moment, everyone present fell into an eerie silence.
Peter reached out and lightly tapped the web shooter on his wrist.
When Ben had modified his new battle suit, he had already considered that Peter, wearing a tight suit, wouldn't have any convenient way to carry a phone, as the suit had no pockets. Therefore, the wrist-mounted web shooter had also been equipped with a communicator.
And in Peter's ear, a tiny earpiece was inserted.
"Hello, Hacker? Eunice?"
The call connected instantly. Matt, who was listening intently, heard a strange female voice.
"I'm looking for Hacker Spider-Man." Peter put his hands on his hips, his toes tapping the ground. "What, he went shopping with Ma... Oh, can he come over later? What, he has a date with Phi... to watch a movie tonight?"
Peter hung up the phone, looking utterly dejected.
The countless enemies were certainly frustrating, but his cousin's happy life worried him even more.
"It seems you have no backup."
Kraven said regretfully.
But he quickly cast aside that emotion. After all, once he dealt with the Spider-Man in front of him, he could just go after the other one.
Searching for prey was also part of the thrill of the hunt.
Instantly, the battle resumed!
Kraven and Green Goblin lunged at Peter, while The Hand's ninjas considered Matt their primary enemy.
Prowler intended to retreat, but Bullseye blocked his escape route.
"Where are you going, Prowler?"
"The mission's over, so I'm retreating, of course."
He said, ignoring Peter, who was chirping and leaping around the courtroom.
"One million, to rescue Green Goblin."
Prowler spread his hands, indicating that fighting Spider-Man or Daredevil would cost extra.
"Kingpin said whoever can kill Daredevil or Spider-Man will get a hundred million dollars," Bullseye said expressionlessly.
"A hundred million?"
"Honestly, I've wanted to take down Spider-Man for a long time!"
Prowler turned around without hesitation, his cloak spreading open. The thrusters inside his suit activated, propelling him at high speed towards Spider-Man.
At the same time, Bullseye raised his pistol and aimed at Matt.
"Another one."
Peter, who was already fighting the Hunter and Green Goblin, felt his Spider-Sense tingle.
He ducked low, dodging Prowler's sneak attack, then flipped backward, his feet kicking at the charging Kraven.
Next, he fired a web from the web-shooter on his wrist, sticking it to Prowler's back and yanking him into Green Goblin.
"Get lost!"
Although Prowler was there to save him, Green Goblin wasn't in a good mood.
He backhanded Prowler away, causing him to crash through the wall.
Then, he charged at Peter, swinging his fist with immense force. Even unarmed, his destructive power was still astonishing.
The modified Lizard Serum had granted him incredible strength. For Green Goblin, killing someone only required a slight exertion to snap an ordinary person's neck!
Kraven was also attacking Peter.
With the two of them ganging up on him, Peter was immediately at a disadvantage.
In reality, if Peter fought with his full strength, neither Kraven nor Green Goblin would be his match.
Their superpowers were nothing compared to Peter's!
But Peter couldn't actually kill anyone.
He had incredible control over his strength and was extremely careful when fighting each enemy, to avoid accidentally killing them.
This was why it seemed like anyone could contend with Spider-Man.
Because most of the time, Spider-Man didn't use his full power, and in fact, he always avoided direct fist-to-fist combat with his enemies.
Just like now, he dodged their attacks while simultaneously shooting webs from both hands, attaching them to two tables and pulling hard.
Instantly, the two tables, under his strength, closed like a large door, seemingly about to crush Green Goblin and Kraven.
Thump!
Wood chips flew.
The flimsy wooden tables couldn't harm Kraven or Green Goblin at all.
The two monsters tore through them in an instant and lunged at Peter, grabbing his arms from either side and pinning him to the ground.
"When dealing with a venomous scorpion, it's best to remove its tail first," Kraven said, his powerful fingers piercing the web-shooter on Peter's left wrist.
Sizzle!
Sticky, misty webs sprayed out.
"Pathetic, Spider-Man, you've finally fallen into my hands!"
Green Goblin laughed, reaching out and grabbing Peter's throat. The combined pressure from two superhumans made it difficult for Peter to break free.
His face turned red, and he struggled to breathe.
"I'll kill you first, then the other Spider-Man, and finally, I'll take down Norman Osborn... and reclaim everything that belongs to me!"
Green Goblin watched Spider-Man's current suffering with increasing pleasure. He clenched his fist tightly, as if swearing an oath to his own soul.
"Ah, and that's not all," he leaned down, his face close to Peter's mask. He lifted a corner of the mask, revealing a ferocious and cruel smile.
"I also want to know who you are, and then I'll kill everyone you know."
"You wish!" Peter shouted, struggling with all his might.
"Wish?" Green Goblin let out a cold laugh.
"This is the consequence of opposing me, Spider-Man!" Green Goblin said maniacally, simultaneously pulling Peter's mask up to his nose. Spider-Man's true face was about to be revealed.
"Remember, those people died because of you!"
However, at that very moment, Peter let out a roar. The suppressed power within him was unleashed, and instantly, the expressions of Green Goblin and Kraven changed.
The next moment, both of them were sent flying by a tremendous force.
Peter flipped up from the ground and pulled his mask down. Beneath the mask, his eyes were already filled with rage.
"Spider-Man, your strength is actually this immense!" Kraven was increasingly surprised and delighted. He suddenly realized that such a powerful Spider-Man was precisely the ultimate prey he had been pursuing.
Facing such prey, a hunt this hasty felt almost like a sacrilege.
He should prepare himself thoroughly and then wait for his prey to walk into his trap.
Translation: He was preparing to slip away.
Peter didn't care at all whether he stayed or left.
Right now, the only one who made him feel angry was the Green Goblin.
