CHAPTER 60: The end of the lizard

"What a shame, Gwen almost won!"

Jean in the car also saw what happened on the top floor from Gwen's perspective.

It's a shame this coup failed.

At the same time, Jean also looked at Arthur suspiciously: "Arthur, does this lizard have the same danger detection ability as Gwen?"

Gwen had demonstrated this ability in front of Jean before.

Gwen turned her back on Jean and asked Jean to attack her.

As a result, Gwen dodged without the help of any equipment.

Could the lizard have this same ability?

The answer is definitely no.

Arthur also shook his head: "As far as I know, only Gwen possesses this ability."

"Then why did the lizard do this just now..."

The Red Queen's voice came from the car's speaker: [When any species is in danger of death, there will be an almost instinctive warning, it would be better to refer to it as survival instinct if you prefer.]

[But the probability of that happening is also very low. Just now Peter Parker had such an early warning.]

(I see.)

Jean nodded with some understanding.

The Red Queen continued explaining: [Miss Gwen's spider-sense has existed for a long time, with it she can essentially predict any attack directed at her, as far as I know.]

"incredible!"

Jean couldn't help but sigh.

Even though she is a mutant with telepathic powers, it is impossible to predict an attack with 100% accuracy.

Arthur reminded, "Keep watching, I believe Gwen can solve this incident on her own."

[Miss Gwen has ten minutes.]

"Ten minutes? What do you mean?"

Jean was a little confused.

"Because according to the current weather, it's going to rain in ten minutes."

"If Peter Parker can recover after ten minutes, he can release the lizard serum into the clouds."

"Gwen, come on! You can do it!"

Jean was also nervously rooting for Gwen.

Arthur watched calmly.

If the situation gets out of control he will instantly intervene.

-------

On the roof.

The Lizard looked at Gwen, seeing the Blue tube in her hand.

Then he thought about the missing IV tube.

"I see, you took out a tube just to create an anti-gene serum?"

"Bingo!"

"Since you guessed right, I'll reward you with an injection, now be a good boy and stay still, okay?"

Gwen ran and once started fighting with the lizard.

But this time, it was clear that the lizard had a slight advantage, although Gwen did not suffer.

But it wasn't as easy as last time.

"Spider-Woman, you've gotten weaker."

"I've gone through the second molt and now I'm much stronger, you can't stop me anymore!"

The Lizard's self-confidence began to increase.

Spider-Woman is no longer his opponent, who else could stop him now?

But Gwen did not respond to these words of the lizard.

Instead, she kept attacking.

After beating the lizard for a while, it violently retreated and began to pull the nebulizer out from behind it.

"Spider-Woman, it looks like I'll have to deal with you first."

"You'll make a good last meal before the imminent evolution of humanity."

After placing the nebulizer, the lizard attacked Gwen with all its strength.

Without the burden behind him, his movements were much faster, and he even wet his claws with paralyzing poison again.

After struggling for a while, the lizard spat out a ball of corrosive saliva towards Gwen.

Gwen turned dangerously and dodged out of the way.

"Hey, stop spitting, you disgusting thing!!"

"Although you no longer have a human appearance, you must also have some sense of public morality."

The Lizard was going to continue his attack, but he saw Gwen twist his neck.

An action that seems to be heating up.

A bad premonition arose in the lizard's mind.

"Spider-Woman, what are you doing?"

"Haven't you noticed yet? I changed my outfit."

The Lizard was obviously surprised and finally noticed that Gwen's outfit was different.

"Hmph! So what if you changed your outfit!"

"Today is the day you die!"

"DIE AT ONCE, SPIDER-WOMAN!!"

The lizard crouched down and ran towards Gwen. Gwen easily dodged it with a light jump.

"What is happening?"

It was as if at that moment Spider-Woman had changed somehow.

Gwen turned around and said with a smile, "Actually, it wasn't you who got stronger now, but I was adapting to this new outfit."

"Now I'm serious, Peter!"

"Since you are obsessed with this madness, then I will wake you up."

In the Lizard's eyes, he is better than Spider-Woman.

He is the evolution of the human race, he was the most powerful being in the world now!

The lizard opened its mouth and tried to bite Gwen.

If she is bitten by him, she will surely die.

But Gwen just crouched down, dodging the lizard's attack, while giving it a strong punch to the chin.

Boom!

The lizard's huge body was thrown straight into the air.

Gwen definitely wouldn't let the lizard go so easily, she grabbed his leg and pulled him back.

-------

Not far from the stairs.

George was leading a group of people, and when he was about to reach the stairs, he kept reminding, "You guys go up first."

"First occupy the most favorable terrain and separate immediately, wait until I give the order."

"On my signal, you can all fire the flamethrower at the lizard."

The first people went up, and when they reached the bottom of the stairs, they froze in place.

George was immediately angry.

"What are you guys doing?"

George also stepped forward and was surprised at what was happening on the roof.

When interviewed later.

One police officer explained it this way: "As soon as we went upstairs, we saw Spider-Woman beating up that lizard monster."

"It was so cruel!"

Yes, such a scene was happening in front of them.

When facing George just now, the lizard, who was still invincible, was being beaten one-sidedly by Gwen without being able to fight back.

George, who had always hated Spider-Woman, couldn't help but swallow hard.

(Is this Spider-Woman such a violent girl?)

After severely beating the lizard, Gwen vented much of her grief from the past two days.

Even though she knew Peter was her good friend, she gave in several times.

She didn't want to hurt him.

She wanted to try to persuade him to come back.

But in the end, the situation escalated to the level where she had to beat him up.

Who wouldn't be angry?

The lizard, which was beaten violently, began to doubt life.

After shedding his skin for the second time, his strength skyrocketed.

As he climbed the stairs, he pressed Spider-Woman and managed to hit her several times.

But in just a split second, he was beaten.

"Okay, Peter dear, I hope you're ready for the injection.

Although Gwen's tone was gentle, the lizard still couldn't help but feel afraid.

Gwen grabbed a syringe of antigen serum from the kit behind her and stabbed the lizard's arm directly.

Only then did she let the lizard go.

"It's finally resolved."

The moment Gwen breathed a sigh of relief, the lizard's expression became ruthless, he quickly cut off the arm that had been injected.

Green blood splattered.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene.

He cut off an arm!

Gwen's face changed: "Peter, what are you doing!"

Click!

At the end of the arm that was cut off, a new arm suddenly grew, exactly like the original.

The Lizard continued proudly: "Look, I already told you."

"I am the most perfect evolution, nothing can affect me."

"If I were you, I wouldn't give up now, Spider-Woman."

These words made Gwen's face sink again.

That's right, if she hadn't stopped now, maybe everything would be resolved now.

------

Inside the car

Seeing this scene, Jean also shook his head helplessly.

Gwen was still very kind.

In fact, in the final analysis, this was caused by a lack of combat experience.

"Arthur, why do I feel like you don't seem to be in any hurry?"

Jean looked at Arthur curiously.

Arthur was sitting in the driver's seat with a normal face, as if it wasn't Gwen who was fighting.

It's like watching a movie.

Arthur said with a smile, "What would I need to worry about? With you, an X-Man, I believe that if Gwen was in serious trouble, you would help."

Seeing Arthur being so confident in herself, Jean also smiled happily.

This feeling of confidence is completely different from what she had at the Xavier Institute.

[Master, Miss Jean]

[The ten minutes are up]

Arthur looked out the window, and indeed, a few drops of rain began to fall, and soon more and more raindrops fell rapidly.

Jean's expression also changed.

He opened the car door and got out, looked at the World Trade Center not far away, and fixed his eyes on the roof of the building.

"I can do it."

"I want to protect Gwen, I can do mind manipulation like the professor.

A burst of fiery red energy began to overflow from her.

"Is this the Phoenix force?"

Arthur was a little curious, but immediately denied his own thoughts: "No, this is Jean's telepathic power."

Arthur could feel that Jean's power had become much stronger.

It seems that emotions must be vented, which in turn led to the strengthening of their powers.

Far away, in the director's office of the Xavier Institute.

Professor X, who was processing the file, suddenly changed his expression, but it was replaced by one of surprise.

"Jean's power became stronger and was not disturbed by that power hidden in his body."

Professor X became increasingly curious about what kind of person Jean's friend was.

Jean's power increased to this level, but it was not disturbed by the Phoenix's strength.

This means that the Phoenix's strength will hardly affect Jean's mentality in the future.

Professor X operated his wheelchair and walked over to the windows, looking in Jean's direction, where he could only see an imposing building.

--------

"Never mind, I'll hit you again, Lizard."

"It's too late, Spider-Woman."

The lizard smiled as if it had managed to pull off a trick, and the sound of falling rain began to sound on the roof.

[Miss Gwen, it's raining.]

[If Peter Parker was planning a nebulizer back then.]

Hearing the Red Queen's reminder, Gwen's face also changed: "It's all my fault, if I hadn't softened my heart just now..."

Connors on the stairs also rushed out immediately: "Stop Peter right now, or it will be too late!"

George also reacted immediately and ran away.

"Red Queen, adjust the spider web output mode!"

Gwen used both of her wrists together, and the spider webs coming out of her wrists combined to form a massive amount of web that covered the lizard.

At the same time, George also stepped forward, adjusting the flamethrower in his hand to maximum power, and the flames spread.

Faced with these attacks, the lizard did not hide in fear.

On the contrary, there was incomparable excitement on his face.

Shortly!

Soon he would be able to bring evolution to humanity!

Amidst a shock wave he activated the nebulizer.

Suddenly, Gwen's flying web was thrown away, and at the same time, George, who was closest, was also thrown into the corner.

The shockwave from the explosion also carried a burst of green smoke across the roof.

Gwen immediately realized the danger, shot webs, and jumped to the high platform.

"No!"

The scene before him is simply the end.

The smoke just dispersed from the lizard's serum.

Before Gwen had time to blame herself, she saw that the green smoke that had spread in all directions began to subside.

As if being squeezed by a big hand, it constantly shrinks.

"What is happening?"

"Gwen, I protected everyone.

"Hurry up and do it now!"

The green smoke receded, and Gwen saw the people inside, everyone was fine.

Each of them had red energy around them.

[Miss Gwen, the suit's isolation mode has already been activated, and the isolation time will only last for three minutes.]

[Please resolve this as soon as possible.]

"Thank you, Jean."

Gwen quickly found the lizard, which was closest to her from the explosion site.

He was also thrown into the corner of the roof.

He had just recovered, and before he had time to be happy about the success of his plan, he was hit by a strong flying kick to the head by Gwen.

The force was so strong that there was a sound of his cervical vertebrae breaking directly.

But even though he was injured, the lizard laughed madly: "Look, Spider-Woman.

"THE WORLD IS ABOUT TO CHANGE COMPLETELY!!"

"Look at them..."

The smile on the lizard's face stopped in an instant, because he realized that his vapor that he was looking for was simply standing in the air.

And these people were obviously infected, but nothing happened.

"No, how is that possible."

"How can it be..."

Gwen didn't bother to explain further, after controlling the lizard, she took out another syringe of the anti-gene serum and injected it directly into the lizard's heart.

"This is over, Peter!"

"NO!! LET ME GO!! I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO THE OLD PETER!! I DON'T WANT TO!!!"

As the lizard's cry sounded, its body was rapidly shrinking.

The antigen serum worked.

Gwen stood up without looking any further.

She walked over to the serum smoke that had shrunk into a ball.

"Red Queen, what should I do with this thing?"

[Put all the remaining antigen serum into it, and then the lizard genes inside it will be completely destroyed.]

Gwen did so, and soon the green ball turned into a blue ball.

"OK."

Boom!

And then blue ball burst like a bubble.

Gwen went to George and after checking, the Red Queen remembered that George was just unconscious.

Gwen breathed a sigh of relief.

After handing George over to the other officers, Gwen left the World Trade Center swinging on her web.

Tonight, many people in New York City have no idea how close they were to disaster.

------

Beach house.

Tony raised his glass: "It's raining tonight, the weather is better, isn't it?"

"Definitely..."
