Capítulo 18: Spider-Man And Doctor Octopus
Christopher released Hope from his grasp.
Immediately, Hope lunged at Christopher, aiming a knife-hand strike at his neck.
Christopher swiftly dodged, trapping Hope's hand between his cheek and shoulder.
"You—" Hope faltered, realizing her attacks were effortlessly countered by Christopher.
With a smirk, Christopher released her once more, taunting, "I was born to fight. You, on the other hand, became a pacifist. How could you ever hope to match me?"
His assertion was true; Christopher's martial prowess, honed through years of training in MMA, was formidable. His instincts in combat were almost instinctual, granting him a significant advantage over adversaries.
Sensing her defeat, Hope refrained from launching another assault.
"I may not rely on brute force, but my technology is unmatched. My Wasp suit grants me incredible capabilities. Don't even think about deceiving my father, or you'll face the consequences," Hope warned sternly.
Christopher's demeanor shifted abruptly. His tone grew icy as he retorted, "Miss Hope, let me remind you. Were it not for your father's intervention, you might not have walked away from our encounter unscathed. I abhor threats, especially those issued by those who prey on the vulnerable."
Hope recoiled, stung by Christopher's words.
With a dismissive huff, she turned on her heel and departed, unwilling to prolong her humiliation any further.
Christopher gathered Hank's equipment, including peculiar gadgets and boxes of ants, effortlessly carrying them with the help of the Optimus, transporting them back to the private island.
Once there, Christopher organized Hank's accommodations and laboratory after that he left the island without bidding farewell to Helen, prompted by Optimus's alert of a skirmish between Doctor Octopus and Spider-Man.
Despite Doctor Octopus's apparent demise in "Spider-Man 2," Christopher contemplated the possibility of an early confrontation between the two adversaries.
You must understand that the Marvel world underwent significant changes due to his arrival, and he senses that the familiar Marvel timeline has been altered.
Christopher boarded Optimus, swiftly soaring toward New York at incredible speed.
....
New York, being a sprawling city, was quickly within Christopher's reach.
Upon arrival, Christopher witnessed Doctor Octopus and Spider-Man engaged in combat outside a towering skyscraper.
Controlling Optimus to hover over the scene, Christopher shouted, "Doctor Octopus, Spider-Man, cease."
Hearing the call, Doctor Octopus and Spider-Man halted their battle, fixing their gaze on the massive mech over eight meters tall, observing Christopher warily.
"Who are you?" Doctor Octopus inquired angrily, feeling disgruntled at the interruption just when he believed victory over Spider-Man was imminent.
"I am Christopher, and I've come to assist you," Christopher announced.
"What help could you offer? Do you possess tritium?" Doctor Octopus asked, his frustration evident.
"Yes, I have tritium, and I've also developed a highly stable artificial element capable of cold fusion. The energy source for the mech I currently control is cold fusion. If you collaborate with me, I'll provide strong support for your research and obtain any supplies you need," Christopher explained earnestly.
"Do you run a technological firm?" Doctor Octopus questioned. Extracting substantial amounts of rare elements requires a massive technological infrastructure. Despite knowing the extraction process, the lack of manpower and funds hindered him from obtaining significant amounts of rare elements. This led him to clash with Spider-Man to gain Harry's support.
"Just by witnessing the mech under my control, you should recognize that the technology I wield is highly advanced. Don't underestimate my capabilities simply because I lack a technology firm.
The individuals currently collaborating with me include Helen, a brilliant scientist from Korea. With my financial backing, Dr. Helen is developing nanotechnology and regenerative cradle technology.
The one who has successfully crafted Pym particles. Dr. Hank is also funded by me and now he is delving into quantum field.
Furthermore, I've acquired the memories of the most formidable scientist during World War II, Dr. Zola. You must be familiar with his name.
And Tony from Stark Industries, have you heard of him?
The intelligent program I engineered trapped his ai butler Jarvis. And he has handed over a private island to me in order to release Jarvis. Although not densely populated, everyone on my private island is a genius scientist.
"If you join my team, your dream of creating an artificial sun will undoubtedly become a reality," Christopher assured Doctor Octopus, his offer touching the scientist deeply. It surpassed Harry's support by not only providing resources but also facilitating collaboration with other scientists. Doctor Octopus, moved by this, inquired about the terms of their cooperation.
"Share the results of your research and development with me," Christopher responded.
"Agreed. I promise to share my findings with you," Doctor Octopus agreed, then turned to Spider-Man with anger. "But first, I must deal with this spider."
Doctor Octopus harbored a deep-seated belief that Spider-Man was the reason behind the failure of his previous artificial sun experiment. Spider-Man had disrupted the device's control, leading to its failure. To appease the bitterness in his heart, Doctor Octopus felt compelled to eliminate Spider-Man.
Quickly seeking refuge, Spider-Man appealed to Christopher for assistance. "Christopher, you said you were here to help us. But you're only assisting Doctor Octopus what about me? Can you convince Doctor Octopus to spare Mary?"
Christopher considered Spider-Man's request, desiring to extract his genes. However, he also sought to avoid unnecessary involvement. "Doctor Octopus, could you please release his girlfriend as a favor to me?" Christopher requested, intending to procure Spider-Man's genes.
Doctor Octopus glared at Christopher, expressing his displeasure. "If you wish to cooperate with me, refrain from interfering in others' affairs," he retorted, commanding his mechanical tentacles to attack Spider-Man.
Spider-Man swiftly evaded the assault, shooting out webs to propel himself away from danger. Meanwhile, Doctor Octopus's mechanical arms tore through the wall, granting him the ability to scale it effortlessly.
Christopher watched the conflict unfold, feeling a pang of uncertainty. He pondered his next move, torn between his desire for Doctor Octopus's technology and his interest in Spider-Man's genetics, each offering unique advantages to his future.
