------------------------------------------------
"She... how did she know my true identity?"
"Who the hell is this damn [Spider-Woman]?!"
"Wait, she... could she be Anne?"
The Anne that Eddie Brock mentioned referred to his former fiancée, Anne Weying. Their relationship ended abruptly after Eddie Brock lost his hand and was imprisoned.
However, Eddie Brock immediately rejected this guess.
Because Gwen's build was vastly different from Anne's, she was clearly a young person who had not yet fully matured.
So, the question is:
If [Spider-Woman] wasn't someone close to him who knew him best, how did the other party know his true identity?
However, before he could figure out the answer to the previous question, he immediately thought of another, more fatal question.
Did Nick Fury, that naturally suspicious black guy, also know his true identity?
"No, my identity should not have been exposed yet..."
Eddie Brock was not a stupid person, so he quickly spotted clues from Gwen's reaction just now, "It must be that bomb... [Spider-Woman]'s emotions clearly only became uncontrollable after that bomb exploded."
"So that means, before that, she actually didn't know my true identity?"
"But the problem is, she was able to successfully distinguish my true identity based on just the small part of my face exposed in the explosion... Damn it, who the hell could she be?"
The face of [Black Widow] immediately appeared in Eddie Brock's mind. If anyone could recognize his true identity in such a short time, [Black Widow] would definitely be one of them.
After all, she had previously monitored him closely for a long time.
However, in the next second, he denied this guess.
Although the builds of [Black Widow] and [Spider-Woman] were somewhat similar, their ages clearly did not match.
Moreover, the feminine charm emanating from the two was completely different.
The former was like a ripe peach, constantly exuding an inviting scent that tempted people to taste!
The latter was more like an unripe plum, full of the taste of youth in every move!
"Damn it, who the hell is she?"
No matter how much Eddie Brock racked his brain, he couldn't guess the true identity of this suddenly appearing [Spider-Woman].
After all, no matter how good his memory was, he would never have thought that the other party would be the daughter of a sheriff whose head he had eaten.
Because he had eaten too many people!
"Forget it, no matter who she is, she must die here for me today..."
Eddie Brock, his thoughts in turmoil, shook his head, then ordered the Symbiote army below, who were launching a frantic attack on Lizard Peter and Gwen, with a ferocious face:
"Leave [Spider-Woman]'s head behind. After I confirm her identity, I will personally kill everyone who knows her!!"
Eddie Brock's sinister laughter, like the roar of a demon, instantly echoed throughout the tunnel.
"Gwen, don't worry about us, you hurry up and leave here!!"
Even though he was surrounded and covered in wounds, Lizard Peter's only concern was still the safety of his goddess.
However, Harry Osborn, who had just been rescued from the webs, did not agree with his point of view, "Peter, I actually don't want to stay here with you... I think I can still be saved!"
"No, Harry, you don't want to," Lizard Peter said righteously, "We must create an opportunity for Gwen to escape."
Opportunity my ass?
You get to be the good guy, you get to act all cool, but I have to stay here and die with you?
Brother, do you have to be so treacherous?
She's your girlfriend, not mine. If you're going to die, don't drag me down with you?
Just as Harry Osborn was thinking of "persuading" Lizard Peter again, Gwen said with a face full of guilt:
"Peter, Harry, I'm sorry, this is all because I was too impulsive, which led to this outcome..."
"No, Gwen, this is not your fault."
Lizard Peter quickly shook his head, "The two of us came with you voluntarily. As adults, we already anticipated the danger of this operation when we came, so please don't feel guilty!"
Harry Osborn, who was once again being represented, rolled his eyes and muttered, "Peter, can you please not include me when you speak next time... Seriously, I don't want to die here."
"Thank you for your comfort, Peter, you are truly a trustworthy friend."
Gwen smiled sweetly at Lizard Peter opposite her. Even through the mask, the latter still felt the warmth emanating from that smiling face... And that compliment was the strongest source of motivation for Lizard Peter to instantly unleash his potential.
I, Peter Parker, am willing to die for Gwen!!
However, at this moment, in the slightly dark open space not far from the three of them, a violent fluctuation suddenly appeared in the space, creating ripples like water patterns. Immediately after, a bright blue circular portal appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.
Then, three familiar figures walked out of the portal. It was none other than the [Mutant Investigation Squad] consisting of Logan, Little Wolf Girl, and [Polaris].
"Yo ho, it's quite lively here..."
Logan glanced at Gwen and the other two who were surrounded not far away, and said with a hearty laugh, "I didn't expect you three young people to be quite capable fighters, keep it up!"
Seeing her old man forcibly displaying his speechless sense of humor again, Little Wolf Girl couldn't help but kick him in the leg and said with a fierce expression:
"Stupid old man, can you be serious when performing a mission?"
Clearly, the little girl was taking revenge for personal reasons. After all, Logan had secretly entrusted [Professor X] to give her cultural lessons for several days in the past few days.
She didn't even use her wolf claws to pierce this stupid old man on the spot, which was already showing a lot of restraint, okay!
"Sigh..."
[Polaris] seemed to have long been accustomed to the daily antics of this lively father and daughter. She then looked around, her gaze finally settling on the huge [Beacon Tree] in the center, and frowned slightly:
"Presumably, that should be the'signal source' mentioned in the intelligence, right?"
"But... it seems that the reinforcement troops mentioned by Officer Zemo haven't arrived yet?"
Little Wolf Girl immediately became interested when she heard this. She tilted her little head and asked curiously, "Sister Lorna, will the reinforcement troops this time be the [Thunder Warriors]? They are super cool!"
"Tch, obviously your old man is super cool, okay?" Logan muttered with a bit of jealousy on the side.
Little Wolf Girl looked at her old man with a disdainful expression, then pinched her clean little nose and said, "Dad, compared to the [Thunder Warriors], you are simply terrible, okay?!"
"Hey, you dead girl, isn't that a bit too hurtful?"
The cigar in Logan's mouth instantly lost its flavor. He blew his beard and glared, arguing, "Your old man was the most awesome... *cough cough*, sorry, I accidentally swore again. I mean, I was the most dashing one in the [X-Men] back then, and I charmed countless married women."
"Shame, shame, no shame."
Little Wolf Girl stuck out her tongue at her old man mercilessly and weakly said, if I hadn't seen your previous appearance that was even sloppier than a homeless person with my own eyes, I would actually believe your nonsense now!
"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing."
[Polaris] rubbed her forehead with a headache and then said, "Laura, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed this time. The team that Officer Zemo sent to reinforce us is not the [Thunder Warrior Battalion], but the [Deathwalkers]!"
"Sister Lorna, what are the [Deathwalkers]?" Little Wolf Girl blinked her clear big eyes and asked curiously, "Why have I never heard of this unit's name in the group before?"
Although Logan didn't speak, it was clear from his listening posture that he was also unfamiliar with this team called the [Deathwalkers].
There was nothing he could do. Even though he was the earliest one among the three to join the [Hyperspace Group], besides accompanying [Professor X] and Little Wolf Girl and performing daily missions, he usually didn't pay much attention to other things.
On the contrary, the meticulous [Polaris] used her free time to systematically understand the various functional departments of the [Hyperspace Group].
"It's normal that you haven't heard of them..."
A playful smile appeared on [Polaris]'s fair face, and she continued, "But if I mention one person's name, I'm sure you'll understand!"
"Who?" X2
"[Vampire Queen] Selena!!"
"I know, I know this," Little Wolf Girl immediately raised her little hand and said without thinking, "My old man said that big sister is the Boss's little wife... *Wuwuwu*?!"
Before Little Wolf Girl could finish speaking, her mouth was tightly covered by Logan.
This dead child, her mouth really has no filter. You can't say things like that!!
If the Boss hears it, your old man will be finished.
Sigh, it seems like from now on, no matter what I say, I have to do it away from you, this dead girl, otherwise I will be killed by your little mouth sooner or later.
Facing the strange look from [Polaris], Logan's old face immediately turned red, and he said with a dry laugh, "*Cough*, well... Lorna, don't listen to this dead girl talking nonsense, I never said that."
At this moment, Little Wolf Girl bit his palm with a 'crunch' and, taking advantage of Logan's painful release of his hand, darted behind [Polaris], revealing a cute little head and shouting angrily:
"You're lying, you clearly said it when you were chatting with Charles!!"
Logan's mouth twitched slightly, and he put on a fierce expression and threatened, "Dead girl, if you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful or I'll beat you... no, be careful or I'll let Charles give you cultural lessons every day."
Then he looked at [Polaris] again and smiled, "However, the fact that the [Vampire Queen] is very close to our Boss is an open secret in the group."
[Polaris] frowned slightly, "But I didn't know that before?"
"*Cough cough*, alright, then just pretend I didn't say it."
Logan took a deep puff of his cigar, then turned his head to look at the dark surroundings and spoke nonsense, "The weather is quite nice today..."
Just as [Polaris] was about to ask something else, her thoughts were interrupted by a cry for help from a distance.
Gwen and the other two, who were surrounded opposite, showed a look of excitement at being rescued after realizing the arrival of Logan and the other two.
Lizard Peter even fought while shouting loudly in the direction of Logan and the others, "Mr. Logan, help, we can't hold on much longer!!"
Unexpectedly, Logan, with a cigar in his mouth, waved at him coolly and said, "Young man, keep it up, the main reinforcement force will arrive in a little while. The main force of this mission is not us three!!"
It wasn't that Logan didn't want to help Gwen and the other two, but he had already seen a large number of Symbiote Warriors rushing towards their direction.
Considering the safety of his daughter and [Polaris], Logan could only prioritize his own people for now and then extend a helping hand to Gwen and the other two after the main force arrived.
There was nothing he could do. After all, at the critical moment of life and death, there was still a distinction between close and distant relationships!
Moreover, Gwen and the other two did not adhere to the agreement they had made with Logan earlier—to withdraw from the battlefield immediately after confirming the coordinate information.
Everyone is an adult, and sometimes you have to learn to pay for your impulsiveness, right?
As Logan and the other two also joined the large melee, Eddie Brock's face, who had been standing above the [Beacon Tree], had become increasingly grim.
The situation he least wanted to see had finally happened.
"Damn it, how did these [Mutants] from the [Hyperspace Group] appear here?"
Eddie Brock was both shocked and angry. He quickly reacted and cast a vicious gaze down towards Gwen, "Could it be that the people who destroyed Deehar's plan with [Spider-Woman] last time were these three [Mutants]?"
"What should I do? Could Karl Merks already know about my plan?"
For some reason, every time he thought of Karl, Eddie Brock couldn't help but feel a sense of fear and a desire to escape immediately.
"Damn it, Eddie, you useless piece of trash!!"
But then Eddie Brock was infuriated by his own cowardly thoughts and began to constantly encourage himself in his heart.
I am no longer the original Eddie Brock.
I am now the [Void Knight] personally bestowed by Knull!
The great Knull is an existence that can even kill the [Celestials] in the Universe. With him as my backing, what can a mere Karl Merks be considered?
Moreover, I now have [Grendel] and thousands of [Loyalist Symbiotes] on me. Karl Merks is definitely not my opponent?!
