章節 2: Restart, Spider-Man! [2]
Among the participants in this resurrection match, although the Chitauri soldiers were just Thanos' underlings, they not only had flying vehicles, but their alien weapons were formidable as well, and they had the advantage in numbers.
Then there was Peter Parker—is this another Spider-Man?
As for Tony Stark, Iron Man's aerial superiority completely crushed the Chitauri soldiers' vehicles, making him the toughest competitor in this resurrection match.
Encountering such tricky opponents in his first resurrection match was no less than participating in a peak battle for Xia Luo.
But being unable to win didn't mean he couldn't outplay them.
Tsk, tsk.
Soon, as the countdown on the glass facade ended, Xia Luo flipped off the building, shooting out webs to swing down onto the street.
Swish!
With both hands, he shot two webs that latched onto streetlights on either side of the street. Pulling on the webs, he leaned back, and with the incredible elasticity of the webs, his body shot into the night sky like a cannonball.
Sling-shot launch!
Boom...
The wind howled as Xia Luo's body zipped between tall buildings, the neon lights of the city flashing past him at high speed.
When he had first become Spider-Man, this sensation was incredibly thrilling.
It was both exciting and nerve-wracking; during practice, he always feared accidentally falling from a great height, but he couldn't resist the adrenaline rush of this extreme sport.
But now, he had already mastered this ability with ease.
"Wow, it's Spider-Man!"
"So cool!"
As his momentum was about to run out, Xia Luo fired his webs again, swinging between the steel jungle, causing a wave of screams from the onlookers below.
"Wait a minute, Spider-Man just finished fighting Electro—why is he here?"
Suddenly, a voice from the crowd rang out. Everyone quickly checked their phones, looking at the live stream showing a citywide power outage, all confused.
"That's strange, this is Sector C—how could Spider-Man be here?"
Everyone was puzzled.
Boom!
At that moment, a blast of fire roared over the heads of the citizens, sweeping up a wave of heat.
"Oh my god, what was that?"
"A cool suit!"
As the crowd exclaimed in awe, several more blasts of fire streaked across the night sky.
"Oh my gosh, what on earth is happening? What are these monsters?"
"Aliens are invading!"
The citizens caught a glimpse of the humanoid creatures on the flying vehicles, holding guns and blades, their eyes filled with terror.
Meanwhile, the nano suit zoomed through the high-rise buildings. Tony was still confused.
"Jarvis, have you ever heard of a resurrection match?"
"Sir, I'm Friday."
Tony snapped back, "Sorry, I didn't mean to."
Jarvis was long gone—a consequence of his own mistakes—and he always felt guilty about it.
"It's alright, sir. But this is no game. Please take this match seriously," Friday reminded him.
"I understand. Lock onto the clock tower."
As he spoke, Tony thought about the panel he had just seen, and his face became complicated.
Peter Parker's name had appeared on the list of participants.
He had already snapped his fingers and wiped out Thanos' army, so how had Peter died?
And there was another Spider-Man in this world...
Was this all just a hallucination before death?
On the bustling streets, a red-and-blue figure swung past.
Swish!
In no time, Xia Luo landed on the roof of a residential building, far from the bustling city center.
Looking ahead, he saw a towering clock tower illuminated by searchlights, about a hundred meters away.
This was the place where the battle between the Green Goblin and the second-generation Spider-Man took place—the scene of Gwen's death.
There was no noise, which meant Harry hadn't reached the clock tower yet.
There was still time.
Creak...
Suddenly, a grinding sound echoed from the rooftop in the dark, and a chill ran down Xia Luo's spine, as if a terrifying beast had locked its gaze on him.
His unreliable Spider-Sense finally worked again.
It hadn't given him any warning when Norman attacked earlier.
Swish!
In an instant, Xia Luo's body reacted on instinct, firing webs to swing into the air, narrowly avoiding a terrifying creature that lunged out of the darkness.
Boom!
A green, humanoid lizard crashed into the rooftop, its immense strength shattering the concrete, sending debris flying everywhere.
Perched on a nearby building, Xia Luo turned around and immediately spotted the menacing, monstrous green lizard.
The dangerous aura it emitted made the hairs on his arm stand on end.
"The Lizard?" He frowned.
"No, this isn't Curt Connors."
Xia Luo quickly realized. In this world, Dr. Lizard had already been defeated by Spider-Man.
He thought of one of the participants—Peter Parker!
In a certain multiverse, Peter Parker wasn't Spider-Man but the villainous Lizard.
Looking at the creature in front of him, with its body covered in green scales, Xia Luo watched as the Lizard slowly stood up after missing its attack, its eyes filled with madness.
"Spider-Man?"
The Lizard creature spoke, its green scales wriggling on its face as the crazed look in its eyes faded slightly, replaced with a hint of complexity.
"Why is Spider-Man a man?" The Lizard's sharp claws scratched at each other, clearly disturbed.
Xia Luo glanced at the Green Goblin flying overhead and tried to communicate with the Lizard in front of him.
"Hey, I'm Xia Luo, Xia Luo Parker. The Spider-Man you know isn't me, but I can swear on Spider-Man's honor that I don't discriminate against your scales or claws. In fact, I've always liked those elements. By the way, have you seen Godzilla? You know, the big monster that goes 'roar' and spits? I think you could probably talk to Legendary Pictures about some kind of collaboration..."
Xia Luo's nonsensical rambling continued, but the Lizard Parker's mind was filled with the image of another Spider-Man.
A beautiful girl who loved playing the drums—she was Spider-Man, the idol everyone admired.
Everyone loved her.
He was no exception.
He dreamed of one day becoming her friend.
But he was disabled—he had lost his right hand at a young age and was not worthy of being her friend.
But one day, he met Professor Curt Connors, who had also lost an arm. The professor's "Lizard Serum" could give its users the ability to regenerate limbs like a lizard, growing back his hand, and granting great strength.
To gain the right to be friends with Spider-Man, he took the risk and injected the Lizard Serum, only to turn into a monster.
He could never forget the way she looked at him.
Shocked, sympathetic, afraid, disappointed...
He was going insane. This wasn't the result he wanted, but there was no going back.
No, there was a way back.
At the last moment of his life, he chose to sacrifice himself so she could live.
He died at the hands of Curt Connors, who had also become a Lizard monster.
But it didn't matter—she was safe.
He had proven with his life that he was worthy of being her friend.
She would survive, just like Gwen in this world.
With this in mind, Lizard Parker's eyes gradually became resolute.
He looked at Xia Luo, who was still babbling, and a fierce light flickered in his gaze.
"Gwen must live, but you, Xia Luo Parker—Spider-Man should never be like you. You've ruined all the good things I believed about Spider-Man. I'm going to tear you apart!"
Boom!!
As soon as Lizard Peter finished speaking, the rooftop shook violently. The concrete cracked as the Lizard creature launched itself like a cannonball, crossing the distance between the buildings in an instant.
"I'll tear you apart!!"
Though Lizard Parker was enraged, it seemed more like he was trying to hide his sickness and helplessness after becoming a monster.
Xia Luo immediately stopped talking—he had been prepared for this.
The moment the Lizard monster attacked, he leapt into the air, avoiding the assault while continuously firing webs toward the clock tower.
Inside the clock tower, Harry and Peter Parker were already locked in battle. The next moment would be the key to the resurrection match.
Boom!
Just then, a blast of fire roared through the air.
In mid-air, Xia Luo's path crossed with Tony for a split second.
"Peter!"
Tony called out, but before he could say more, the Chitauri soldiers attacked, flying in on their vehicles, firing a barrage of energy blasts from their weapons.
"Shit."
Boom!
Fire erupted as Tony quickly formed a nano-metal shield to block the energy blasts, while Xia Luo was struck by one of the beams, tumbling down toward the residential buildings.
"Ha ha ha! Imposter! I've got you!"
In the dark, Lizard Parker charged forward, seizing Xia Luo's fallen figure in his grasp.
