Crack!
Bang!
The sound of a sonic boom and Lucas's leg striking Morlun's waist rang out one after another.
Morlun, like a football powerfully shot, flew backward at a speed far exceeding his charge.
In mid-air, blood sprayed, splattering everywhere. After landing, he tumbled dozens of times before finally collapsing to the ground.
Looking at the fallen Morlun, everyone's reactions were also different.
Tony and Gwen were unfazed by this. They already knew Lucas's true nature. When fighting, he was simply brutal, easily crushing his opponents.
On the contrary, they were surprised that Morlun wasn't instantly blown to pieces.
Wanda and Pietro, however, gaped in astonishment.
In their impression, Lucas was a powerful, elegant, and mysterious sorcerer. In battle, he should be unleashing various dazzling spells, striking down enemies from a distance.
This image was completely different from the current one, where he casually kicked an enemy into severe injury and collapse, revealing a violent and cruel side within his relaxed demeanor.
The four Spider-Men were dumbfounded.
Especially Spider-UK.
He had dealt with the Inheritors several times and was well aware of Morlun's power.
Countless Spider-Men from various Universes had died at Morlun's hands. Among them were powerful Spider-Men and their strong allies.
'He's indeed not a Spider-Man.'
Thoughts raced through Spider-UK's mind.
He hadn't forgotten that his Spider-Sense hadn't triggered immediately the first time he had met Lucas.
Although Spider-Ham had explained that Sorcerer Spider-Man could freely control whether his Spider-Sense triggered, conversely, it also made sense that Lucas was not a Spider-Man.
However, this 'Sorcerer Spider-Man' Lucas was clearly a friend of Ghost-Spider and close to the Spider-Men, so he naturally had no need to expose him.
In a short while, Morlun recovered slightly from his severe injuries. Struggling to get up by leaning against the wall, he looked at Lucas.
"Cough, cough, who are you?"
Lucas walked forward, looking down at Morlun with murderous intent. "Sorcerer Spider-Man. The Terminator of the Inheritors."
The Terminator of the Inheritors!
This sentence heavily struck Morlun's mind.
He remembered that ancient prophecy. The Inheritors would be ended by a certain Spider-Man in the future.
It was precisely because of this prophecy that the Inheritors hunted Spider-Men across the Multiverse, attempting to completely extinguish the power of the spider totem.
However...
Morlun sneered, "You are not a Spider-Man. You don't have the power of the spider totem."
Lucas chuckled, secretly activating the spider totem fragment.
"Are you sure?"
Morlun's expression changed. A longing from his soul told him that Lucas possessed the aura of the spider totem.
The prophecy about the Inheritors's doomsday reappeared in Morlun's mind. This time, he could no longer ignore it.
"Impossible, how could a bug like Spider-Man be so strong?"
"The truth is already before you, are you still going to deny it? How weak you are, Morlun of the Inheritors." Lucas's voice carried mockery, constantly stinging Morlun's heart.
"How can such a weak you inherit your father's position and bear all the responsibilities of the family?"
"How can such a weak you stop me from ending the Inheritors?"
Tony looked at Gwen and asked, "What is he doing?"
In Tony's impression, Lucas wasn't the type to talk a lot and like to mock his opponents.
Gwen shook her head, indicating she didn't know either. "I'm not sure either. However, Lucas said that as long as he catches one member of the Inheritors, he can follow the clues to find the Inheritors's lair."
Wanda whispered, explaining, "It's mind control. Lucas is trying to mentally control Morlun. If he can break his mental defenses, it will be easier to succeed."
On the other side, Lucas continued to verbally assault Morlun.
Morlun's face grew increasingly ugly, his sanity seemingly on the verge of collapse. Finally, as if seeking death, he mustered the last of his strength and attacked Lucas.
Lucas dodged, then kicked Morlun again. He controlled the force, making it much lighter than the first kick, ensuring he wouldn't kill Morlun.
"Kill me, stop tormenting me, Sorcerer Spider-Man." Morlun lay on the ground, speaking weakly.
He was indeed seeking death. Then he would revive and send the news of Sorcerer Spider-Man back, informing his father Solus and the others in the family.
But Lucas saw through his thoughts and naturally wouldn't listen to him.
"Do you think I don't know your little schemes? Weak Morlun."
Lucas slowly revealed Morlun's last trump card.
"I know you have a way to revive yourselves. When people of the Inheritors die, they can revive in cloned bodies."
"But guess what. Other Spider-Men can't do anything about souls. As Sorcerer Spider-Man, can I intercept your soul?"
Hearing Lucas's words, Morlun's face changed again.
This time, he was truly on the verge of collapse.
Seeing this, Lucas kicked Morlun again.
Astral Projection!
Morlun's body twitched slightly, then collapsed to the ground.
Morlun's soul, however, was kicked out by Lucas.
In a state of confusion, Morlun's soul heard Lucas's voice.
"You can't go back, you can't send the message back."
"You will watch the members of the Inheritors die one by one."
"Ultimately, the entire family will be annihilated."
Like the whisper of a devil, Lucas's voice completely shattered Morlun.
In a daze, Morlun seemed to see Lucas finding the Inheritors's base and killing them one by one. Among them was his powerful father, Solus.
"Whew..."
Lucas let out a long breath.
This mind control was much harder than simple mind-reading. However, it was all worth it.
Lucas raised his hand, and a cluster of energy appeared, then slowly merged into Morlun's body and disappeared. Morlun's injuries vanished, and his aura also strengthened a bit.
Lucas whispered, "You successfully hunted five Spider-Men on Earth-65 and absorbed their spider totem power."
"After absorbing the power of these five Spider-Men, you encountered the powerful Sorcerer Spider-Man. You were no match and fled."
"You suspect that Sorcerer Spider-Man is the Spider-Man from the prophecy who will end the Inheritors."
"You need to go home, find your father Solus, and gather your kin to collectively hunt down Sorcerer Spider-Man, to ensure that the Inheritors will not be ended by Sorcerer Spider-Man."
Morlun repeated, "I must return to Earth-001, gather my kin and father, and hunt down Sorcerer Spider-Man."
