Upon hearing these words, a slow, sinister smile spread across Gorr's face. "As expected of gods. You false gods and the accomplices of false gods are all hypocrites. And I, Gorr the God Butcher, shall represent the one true god, the King in Black, and slaughter you all!"
"Starting with you!"
As he spoke, Gorr reached out, and the all-black the necrosword, which had been pinned into Riot, suddenly flew back into Gorr's hand through the air.
Gorr pointed the all-black the necrosword at Gwen.
The next second, a thunderous sound of countless footsteps erupted from beneath the cliff behind him.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
In an instant, Xenophages poured out from the cliff like a tidal wave, charging wildly in Gwen's direction!
Gwen's breath hitched; she braced herself, facing the formidable enemy.
But to her surprise, these Xenophages paid no attention to Gwen at all; instead, they bypassed her on both sides, leaping toward the other side of the cliff one after another!
"You are mine, while they will kill your companions!"
Dragging the all-black the necrosword, Gorr suddenly flashed in front of Gwen and swung his blade upward in a slash toward Gwen, who was still looking in Ryan's direction!
Swish—
Gwen's Spider-Sense kicked in. Facing this sudden attack, she narrowly dodged it by shifting to the side!
"Instead of worrying about your companions, you'd better worry about your own situation first!"
Gorr's upward slash missed, so he immediately followed up with a downward strike, all the while trying to provoke Gwen's emotions to make her reveal an opening.
But would Gwen reveal an opening because of this? Of course not!
Because she had never been worried about the safety of Ryan and the Gwen from the other Universe in the first place!
Gwen leaned backward, dodging Gorr's downward sword strike, then used her hands to brace against the ground, springing her legs up like springs and kicking Gorr hard in the chin!
Crack—
With a crisp sound of bone fracturing, Gorr was sent flying a hundred meters upward, finally crashing to the ground in a sorry state.
"Your combat experience is pathetically weak. Aside from running your mouth, you just slash around without any technique. If you were in the Spider Family, someone like you, with nothing but brute strength, would only be fit to be a security Captain like Thor!"
Gwen sprang to her feet with a kip-up and mercilessly mocked Gorr, who was on the ground, retaliating for his earlier contemptuous attitude toward Ryan.
You have to understand that in the Spider Family, there are specialized combat courses created by Ryan.
They have to undergo special training from Ryan every few days.
Within the Spider Family, from the ordinary members down to girlfriends like her, who hasn't been beaten up by Ryan?
It is precisely because of this that everyone in the Spider Family is accustomed to fighting opponents far stronger than themselves, and possesses combat experience far exceeding that of others!
Hearing Gwen's mockery, Gorr stood up, leaning on the all-black the necrosword. He grabbed his dislocated jaw and twisted it hard, forcibly resetting it.
Then, Gorr stared at Gwen with murderous intent, his tone filled with resentment: "That's right, you all possess such power and experience, yet time and again you ignore the lives of your believers, driving them into a dead end!"
"That's why you false gods all deserve to die!"
As he finished speaking, Gorr's white robe was suddenly stained with a shade of blood.
But this was not blood flowing from his own wounds; it was a blood-red liquid tissue crawling up Gorr's body!
"Roar—"
Finally, amidst a roar that sounded nothing like a human, Gorr, who had previously looked human, had transformed into a gaunt, hunched, humanoid monster nearly three meters tall!
That appearance was even more ferocious than the full form of a typical Symbiote after parasitizing a host!
It was just like a mindless monster!
The most terrifying thing was that after transforming into his second stage, a pair of huge bat wings had spread out from Gorr's back!
Gorr was no longer pretending; he had gone all out!
With a gentle flap of his bat wings, sand and stones flew across the cliff!
The violent sand and stones made it difficult for Gwen to see clearly!
Taking advantage of the flying sand, Gorr flapped his bat wings again, moving at a speed that almost reached the level of teleportation. He arrived in front of Gwen and swung his blade horizontally toward her waist!
But fortunately, although her vision was obstructed, Spider-Sense doesn't care about environmental factors!
Gwen sensed the danger approaching in advance. As Gorr attacked, she shot two strands of webbing backward, sticking them to the edge of the cliff. With a forceful pull, she yanked her entire body backward, just managing to dodge the fate of being cut in half!
But when his sword strike missed, Gorr was prepared this time. He flapped his wings again, and, moving faster than her, delivered a straight kick toward Gwen, who hadn't landed yet!
Without any leverage and unable to fly, Gwen had no way to dodge; she could only cross her arms and take the kick head-on!
Crack—
Under the terrifying power of Gorr's Symbiote-enhanced strength, Gwen was sent flying backward like a cannonball, all the way to the cliff on the opposite side, only stopping after knocking away several Xenophages!
Gwen stood up from a pile of Xenophages that had been smashed into pulp. She glanced at her own arms, which were hanging limply, and frowned: "Are both arms broken? His Symbiote's power amplification is even more terrifying than mine..."
She could feel that after Gorr transformed, the power amplification was definitely more than threefold!
Boom—
Just then, a heavy landing sound echoed, and Gorr, holding the all-black the necrosword, landed in front of Gwen.
A twisted smile spread across Gorr's ferocious face as he raised the all-black the necrosword high above Gwen: "Cunning bug, let's see how you can dodge now that you're heavily injured!"
As he finished speaking, Gorr didn't even give Gwen a chance to respond and brought his sword down.
Facing this desperate situation, Gwen's eyes were calm. She showed not a hint of fear and just watched Gorr quietly.
Clang—
Good news: Gorr's sword strike finally landed.
Bad news: it didn't land on Gwen, whom he wanted to hit!
It was Ryan, standing in front of Gwen, blocking the all-out sword strike from Gorr—which was enhanced by the Symbiote—with just one raised hand!
"Wh... when?"
Gorr's pupils constricted. With his second-stage vision, he hadn't even noticed the trajectory of this person's movement!
"The combat power is unequal. The practical training is over. Next... a switch."
As Ryan's calm words fell, Gorr felt all the hairs on his body stand up, and an extreme sense of death instantly enveloped him!
Clang—
Ryan casually pushed aside the all-black the necrosword that had struck the Ten Rings on his arm and raised his right fist toward Gorr.
Without the support of Infinite Power, and without the infusion of Cosmic Energy, Ryan simply delivered an unadorned punch toward Gorr!
At this moment, Gorr saw the scene that Thanos had seen before his death.
That was a fist... as if the sky were collapsing, impossible to dodge!
Bang—
The punch landed on Gorr's chest; this time, Gorr didn't fly away, nor did he even stumble back.
After the air seemed to freeze for a second, the blood-red skin on Gorr's body began to disintegrate, and muscles mixed with blood fused into wisps of scarlet flesh paste, constantly spraying backward!
"Aaaaaahhhhh—"
From a third-person perspective, one could see Gorr screaming while blood continued to spray out like a fountain, and his size kept shrinking as his flesh sprayed out, as if pieces of his flesh were being forcibly sliced off!
