The two quickly spread out, one to the left and the other to the right, converging on Electro.
"Oh! This guy looks quite shocking!" Spider-Tom lifted the magic wristband that Doctor Strange had given him and fired a shot at Electro, hoping to use the magical device to teleport this obviously tricky Electro directly to the magical prison. But unfortunately, at this moment, Electro was in a completely ionized state, without a physical form. The transmission magic he shot out passed through Electro's body, arcing through the air and hitting a large tree not far away.
Crack!
This unfortunate tree had the worst luck; it grew here, mindin its own business, but encountered Spider-Tom, who sent it straight to the magical prison beneath the Sanctum Sanctorum.
MJ, Ned, Doctor Octopus, and the Lizard were all startled.
Doctor Octopus asked, puzzled, "Is this a tree-person? From which universe?"
The Lizard grinned, revealing a mouth full of fangs, "This mutation is quite novel, a creative idea."
"No, no, it's just a tree," MJ said, feeling a bit embarrassed about her boyfriend's mistake.
"Uh," the Lizard hesitated for a moment, thinking he had found a kindred spirit.
Doctor Octopus also smiled awkwardly.
The scene returned to the battle with the Electro.
After Spider-Tom's initial attack failed to affect the Electro, it alerted him while he was absorbing electricity. His eyes lit up suddenly, and he instantly spotted Spider-Tom's position. He raised his hand and sent a high-voltage electric current towards Spider-Tom.
Spider-Tom quickly dodged, but the high-voltage electric current struck the ground beneath him like thunder, creating a large crater.
Seeing his first attack miss, Electro lifted his hand again and fired another high-voltage electric current towards Spider-Tom.
Spider-Tom dared not stay in one place and swiftly maneuvered to the side.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
One high-voltage electric current after another struck the ground and the trees below, either creating large craters or setting trees on fire, showcasing Electro's destructive power.
At this moment, Mark had quietly approached Electro.
His eyes turned into a starry sky as he entered a quantum state.
Quantum Insight!
Originally, this move required direct contact to observe the quantum changes within the target. However, after receiving enhancements from the Master Weaver, which strengthened his powers from all directions, he gained the ability to use Quantum Insight to observe targets within a certain range without direct contact.
Now, he was using this ability to observe the energy flow between the electrical towers and Electro.
If he could find the point where he channeled the electricity into his body, they could defeat him in one blow!
On the other side, Spider-Tom had been continuously chased by high-voltage electric currents, causing the nearby forest and ground to become a mess.
He found it strange that Mark hadn't taken action yet, but he didn't dare to rush him. He knew Mark must have his reasons. If necessary, they had the backup plan of disconnecting the power lines.
Suddenly, it seemed like Electro had gotten smarter. He raised his hand abruptly, and the next high-voltage electric current appeared in the direction Spider-Tom was heading.
Although Peter's quick thinking gave him enough feedback, at this moment, he had just jumped to avoid the previous attack, and there was no way he could turn in time.
In a critical moment, he could only shoot out a strand of web to twist his body slightly to the side.
Boom!
The high-voltage current hit Spider-Tom, and the violent electricity spread across his body instantly.
"Hmm..." Spider-Tom grunted, and his whole body was thrown out, lying motionless on the ground.
"Peter?" MJ and Ned, who were in the Sanctum Sanctorum's underground chamber, became extremely worried.
Ned couldn't help but call out to Mark, "Hey, Mr. Mark, it seems Peter is injured, where are you?"
Mark couldn't afford to respond to him. He was concentrating on observing the energy flow within Electro's body, and he had made some progress!
Just as Electro raised his hands, preparing to deliver a devastating blow to Spider-Tom, Mark took action.
"Found it.."
In Mark's Quantum Insight view, there were countless energy channels within Electro's body. Among these energy channels, several were particularly robust!
For instance, there was one extending from each of his hands, leading to his heart!
This might also be why Electro often uses his hands to absorb and release electricity!
Quantum Scalpel!
Quantum Blink!
Mark's hands suddenly entered a quantum state in mid-air and, in the next moment, appeared directly behind Electro.
Swish!
The quantumized hands were like sharp surgical knives, piercing straight into Electro's shoulders on both sides.
The two thickest energy channels within Electro's body were directly destroyed!
"Ah!" Electro, who was usually immune to physical harm, suddenly let out a miserable scream.
What was even more surprising was that at the injured points on his shoulders, sparks of electricity burst forth, as if a person's body was spraying blood when injured.
"Who are you? What is this?!" Electro struggled to turn his head around, but he dared not move rashly.
He felt intense fear!
Ever since he had become the embodiment of electricity due to an accident, he hadn't felt the word "pain" for a long time.
But at this moment, the person behind him was forcefully making him recall that sensation.
For a moment, Electro even forgot to transform into an electric current and just allowed Mark's hands to remain inserted into his shoulders.
"Max Dillon, actually, I don't really dislike you. I know that your evil actions weren't your intention. You just wanted to get attention from others, right?" Mark said.
"N-n-no, you understand me? Who are you?" Electro was both afraid and touched. This was the first time he had met someone who understood him.
If it weren't for the current situation, he would have happily given the person a big hug and invited them for a drink.
"I am the Space-Time Spider-Man, appearing to change the tragic fate of those in different timelines." Mark replied.
"Changing tragic fates? Timelines?" Electro was stunned. At this moment, he seemed to forget the pain, forget to continue absorbing energy, and even ignored his own changes. His entire body and mind were captivated by these words.
And at this moment, Mark had already released his hands.
