Chapter 6: Beating Up the Lizard Man!
Gwen angrily watched the giant lizard monster.
"Dr. Connors, this time I will defeat you and bring you to justice!"
Spider-Gwen attacked the Lizard. Although the Lizard's strength could easily snap concrete pillars, it was helpless against the agile Spider-Woman and could only endure Gwen's attacks.
However, even though Gwen's attacks continuously hit the Lizard, they couldn't inflict effective damage.
The Lizard had thick skin and strong regenerative abilities. Even against Gwen's attacks, which could kill an ordinary person with one punch, it sustained little injury.
Even minor injuries quickly healed under its regenerative capabilities!
In her anger, Gwen's strength did increase, but her stamina also depleted rapidly, and it wasn't long before she became breathless.
As her stamina decreased, her speed and strength also began to decline, eventually putting her at a disadvantage.
Suddenly, the Lizard found an opening in Gwen's defense, immediately grabbed one of her legs, and flung her away. With a loud crash, she slammed into a nearby dilapidated wall, creating a human-shaped dent.
Gwen had only recently acquired her extraordinary abilities. Such a heavy blow caused her intense pain, preventing her from recovering.
She struggled to stand up, but the terrifying green figure had already appeared before her, blocking the dim streetlights, leaving only a shadow without light.
A piercing whoosh assaulted her ears, and Gwen was kicked away again. This time, she completely lost the power to resist.
Heavy footsteps approached. Gwen tried to lift her head, struggling to get up, but to no avail.
She watched in despair as the Lizard slowly walked closer, enveloped by the fear of death.
Dr. Connors, now the Lizard, had completely lost his humanity. She didn't believe Dr. Connors would spare her.
"Am I going to die just after gaining extraordinary abilities?
No, I don't want to die!"
But the intense pain from all over her body and her uncontrollable limbs told her that she no longer had any power to resist.
She was about to fall into the abyss of death, just like the gentleman from before!
Just then, a voice suddenly came from a distance. The owner of this voice should have died, making Gwen think she was hallucinating.
But seeing the Lizard stop its steps, she realized she hadn't misheard!
The gentleman from before wasn't dead!
How was that possible!?
But the subsequent voice confirmed her guess, even if that guess seemed impossible!
"Hey, didn't you hear me, you ugly brute?"
Seeing the Lizard turn and look at him, Su Mu's lips curved into a ferocious arc.
"You directly attacked me? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
The Lizard looked at Su Mu with some confusion. How did that ant suddenly come back to life?
Professor Connors originally had a very high intellect, but after transforming into the Lizard, he became a monster with low intelligence. He was better at instinctive destruction than thinking.
After seeing Su Mu revive, he only paused for a moment before immediately charging at Su Mu, intending to tear this ant to shreds!
Gwen saw this and, although she didn't understand how this gentleman had escaped the previous attack, she believed he was no match for the Lizard!
So she immediately warned him:
"Run!"
But what happened next made her eyes widen in disbelief!
Roar!
The Lizard roared and charged at Su Mu.
The Lizard's body looked very bulky, but its speed wasn't slow. The reason it seemed clumsy was only in comparison to the agile Spider-Woman.
In reality, its speed, agility, and reaction time could rival Spider-Woman's; its massive body only hindered its speed.
However, this wasn't without its benefits. Its large body reduced its speed but also increased its strength.
As it charged at Su Mu, Su Mu felt like he was facing a truck coming straight at him.
But it was just a truck, after all.
Su Mu extended one hand forward and then said calmly:
"Limitless Cursed Technique!"
Under Gwen's worried gaze, the giant Lizard was about to crash into the poor gentleman. With the gentleman's slender body, he would surely be smashed into a pulp!
She couldn't bear to watch what was about to happen.
But then, she suddenly heard a pleasant, magnetic voice. Then, she saw the gentleman extend his hand, blocking in front of him. That slender arm, facing the giant Lizard, seemed as fragile as a chopstick.
But it was this slender arm that prevented the Lizard from advancing even an inch!
What was happening?
What was wrong with this world? Why did she suddenly not recognize it anymore?
Gwen repeatedly asked herself these questions!
Looking at the Lizard, which was constantly attacking him but unable to advance even an inch, Su Mu gave it a brilliant smile.
"Ganbatte, Ganbatte, just a little more effort and you can touch me!"
Provoked like this, how could the Lizard endure it? It unleashed even greater strength, its muscles bulging and tensing, delivering its strongest blow.
But...
It still had no effect...
Just a few short centimeters felt like a world apart, completely unreachable.
After toying with the Lizard for a while, Su Mu also lost his patience. His energy converted into pure cursed energy, permeating his entire body.
He was going to end this fight!
At Su Mu's current template fusion level, even with cursed energy reinforcing his body, he was still not a match for the Lizard in raw power.
However, with the aid of the Six Eyes, the Lizard was just a big punching bag.
The Limitless Cursed Technique was constantly active; the Lizard couldn't touch Su Mu in the slightest, but Su Mu could freely touch the Lizard.
His cursed energy-enhanced attack struck the Lizard. Under Gwen's shocked gaze, the seemingly frail gentleman was brutally beating the Lizard, completely overwhelming it!
Like a bodybuilder, every one of Su Mu's movements was incredibly stylish and devastatingly powerful.
Thump!
His foot collided with the Lizard's chest. The Lizard was kicked away, smashing through several walls before finally falling to the ground.
However, it immediately got back up. Even though Su Mu's previous attack had caused it considerable damage, it instantly recovered due to its terrifying regenerative ability, showing no significant effect.
Gwen's hopeful eyes once again dimmed.
That's right, she had been defeated by this terrifying regenerative ability. Even if the gentleman was unexpectedly strong, if he couldn't inflict fatal damage on the Lizard, he would eventually be worn down by its fearsome regeneration.
So she said to the gentleman:
"Sir, don't worry about me, just go!"
Su Mu was drawn by Gwen's words and looked at her with a strange expression.
What are you talking about?
Who's worrying about you?
I just don't like the look of him!
With that, he ignored the Spider-Woman, who seemed to be acting strangely, and once again grinned at the charging Lizard.
"Do you really think I can't deal with you?"
He extended his palm, his slender, bony fingers slightly contracting, and then his voice became utterly cold.
"Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue!"
