"Ugh—!!!"
As soon as Ye Li spoke, Morlun suddenly felt a violent surge of discomfort in his body and couldn't help letting out a cry of pain!
A flood of nuclear radiation began taking effect inside him!
He tried to reach for Ye Li but just as he was about to touch Ye Li, his hand suddenly went limp and dropped.
Then.
His tall figure collapsed to the ground, writhing and rolling around, letting out continuous wails of agony—
"Ah! Aaah! Damn you! Aah!!"
Legends say vampires fear silver and such.
But these mutated Inheritors aren't afraid of that sort of thing—they fear nuclear radiation…
It makes them abnormally weak and causes extreme suffering.
So Ye Li didn't have to put in any effort—just sweeping a round with his golden AK was enough. And yet, Morlun just stood there taking it—pretty bold on his part.
"You're quite something."
Ye Li took a sip of his milk tea, lifted his shoe, and ground it on Morlun's face.
"Chasing after Cindy, huh? Hmm?"
"Ah!!" The poor Inheritor was too busy screaming to even respond....
[You have defeated the fated enemy of Gwen Stacy and Cindy Moon. As their 'close associate,' you can choose...]
While Morlun was being brutally tortured here.
…..
On the other side.
Whoosh—!
Brix, wielding two daggers, rushed forward again to engage Iron Man and Silk.
"Did you escape from some castle?"
Tony, seeing its vampire-like appearance, made a sarcastic remark before opening the mini-missile bays on his shoulders.
"First time fighting a vampire. Let's see if you can withstand this."
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!.....
A series of mini-missiles scattered out, completely engulfing the headlong-charging Brix.
"Jarvis....."
The continuous violent explosions created thick smoke. As a result Tony had to instructed Jarvis to scan the area.
[It's moving toward you, sir.]
"What?"
In Tony's disbelieving eyes.
Under Tony's incredulous gaze, a blood-soaked humanoid figure leapt out of the smoke, its wounds healing at a rapid pace.
That blood-drenched being tackled him at high speed, driving its daggers into his suit—screech!!
Clang! Clang! Clang.....
"Disgusting metal can!"
Brix furiously pinned Iron Man beneath him. In a matter of seconds, he'd already stabbed Tony dozens of times with his two daggers!!
"Mr. Stark!"
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh——!
Cindy swiftly fired webs from all ten fingers, entangling Brix— "Ngah!!"
She exerted force, trying to pull him away, but found that she couldn't move him at all!
"Damn it!"
Tony was enraged as well—he had never been stabbed like this before!
Wuen～—— (Energy charging sound)
The arc reactor on his chest rapidly charged up.
～——Boom!!
A blinding white energy blast sent Brix flying.
Click!
Tony seized the opportunity to stand back up, flick his wrists and two imitation lightsaber blades popped out along his forearms.
"I'm going to slice you into pieces—let's see if you can regenerate from that, you freak!"
"Roar—!!"
Brix showed no fear, roaring as he charged into battle against Tony——!
Sizzle—～!!
Clang, clang.....
Flesh flew everywhere, and the sound of metal tearing echoed continuously.
Cindy watched in shock. "This...."
Tony promptly reminded her, "Lady, don't just stand there—your suit also has a replica lightsaber module!"
"Mine has that too?"
It was Cindy's first time wearing this suit, so she wasn't very familiar with it. After hearing the prompt, she commanded her AI assistant: [Web, activate the replica lightsaber module!]
Zzz...Zzz...! (Electric activation sound)
Following her command.
Each of her suit's fingertips emitted several inches of glowing red blades, radiating a dangerous heat.
"Not bad."
With nimble fingers, Cindy got a quick feel for how the weapon worked before slashing toward Brix!
…..
Sunnyvale Manor
Wong——— (Portal opening sound)
Pa~ (A light snap sound)
A golden time-space portal opened, and Bora of the Inheritor family stepped out, swinging her whip.
Her target was Gwen, a Spider Totem bearer.
Compared to 'The Bride' Cindy, 'Ghost-Spider' was clearly less important, so only one person was sent here.
However.
Just as Bora stepped out of the portal———
Click! Click! Click! Click! Click! (Weapons being locked and loaded)
Silver Sable and her mercenary squad immediately aimed their weapons at her, including several attack helicopters in the air rotating their Gatling guns.
"Open fire!"
Silver Sable issued the command without hesitation. This was Ye Li's order—anyone who entered the manor without permission was to be executed on sight!
This also fell in line with the laws and culture of the United States.
Dadadadada!!—!!
A storm of bullets converged on a single point, ripping the ground's surface apart.
Faced with this concentrated barrage, Bora wasn't foolish enough to just stand there like her brother Morlun had. After all, a single gun versus a barrage of heavy firepower are two completely different things.
Tap tap tap—! (Fast footsteps)
She swiftly maneuvered through the manor grounds.
Her extraordinary speed made it impossible for the mercenaries to get a good aim.
Bang! Bang!
Only Silver Sable had a high accuracy rate, but even her bullets had little effect on Bora.
"Stop focusing fire!"
Drawing on her combat experience, Silver Sable decisively changed tactics: "Spread out your fire and blanket the area!"
One of her subordinates reminded her, "Boss, this will destroy a lot of property..."
"Who cares! The boss has plenty of money! Do as I say!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
The Wild Pack had excellent execution skills. They immediately adjusted their aim to spread their fire and launch an area-wide assault on Bora—
Wuen!——!!! (Charging energy sound)
But the Destroyer's energy beam got there first.
Boom!!
Debris scattered everywhere!
After successfully hitting its target.
The orange-white beam didn't dissipate but instead pinned Bora to the ground, dragging her along...
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack.....!
The ground kept shattering, leaving behind a deep, blackened crater. When the orange light faded, all that remained in the trench was a charred humanoid husk...
"..."
Silver Sable shook her head helplessly, "That thing again... Feels like we're just here for show..."
…..
Zss—~!!
With Iron Man launching the main assault and Silk attacking from the sides.
Brix's flesh was continuously being cut away, gradually revealing his bones and his regeneration speed could no longer keep up with the damage he was taking.
However, Tony's armor was also heavily damaged.
Sparks flew from the armor, and the imitation lightsaber on his forearm flickered intermittently—by the look of things, he wouldn't be hauling a nuke to blow up the Chitauri mothership anytime soon.
Fortunately, Ye Li over on his side was likewise just finished tormenting Morlun.
His black ring expanded over his forearm, and from his wrist, a purple poison-stinger blade module extended as he slowly approached Morlun.
The poison stinger emitted a suffocating aura of terror, drawing the attention of even the agonized Morlun...
"What is that!? Keep it away from me!!"
Ye Li's system-loaded poison-stinger blade was the same one Peter Parker used in the comics to instantly kill Morlun.
No wonder Morlun was so terrified.
"Are you also a Spider Totem!?"
Morlun sniffed the intense aura on the stinger and was visibly shocked.
"How is that possible?
This universe should only have two Spider Totems! Are you from another parallel universe!?"
