Chapter 123

Gwen's POV

"Who the hell are you?" Spider-Man asked the mysterious black suited Spider-Man who was clearly not normal.

"You will know once you have joined us." The Black Spider-Man replied mysteriously.

"What the hell do you mean by that?" Spider-Man asked. Our Spider Sense was not warning us against him but something was obviously wrong with this Spider-Man.

"There is no need to talk more with you. Take care of them." The Black Spider-Man ordered, although to him we could not understand.

Suddenly, the black slimy goo which had come along with the Black Spider-Man wiggled and then sprouted humanoid faces with large white eyes and huge maws filled with pointy teeth.

The horrible looking slimy monsters then moved towards the unconscious Scorpion, Tombstone and Lady Octopus and suddenly covered them with their slimy body.

In just a few moments their body was completely wrapped in that black goo and then it transformed until it looked it was just a black skinsuit.

Then, all of them stood up as if they had never been injured. There was also a white spider logo on their chest along with huge white eyes just like that of the Black Spider-Man and the slimy goo monsters.

"Keep them alive." The Black Spider-Man ordered.

To our horror, huge gaping maws filled with sharp pointy teeth appeared on their faces and they said in unison.

"As you wish, my lord."

Before we could confront the Black Spider-Man about his intentions, the now controlled Lady Octopus, Tombstone and Scorpion engaged us.

"Protect Peni. She doesn't have her Spider Bot anymore— Woah!" As Spider-Man was instructing us, he narrowly dodged one of Lady Octopus' tentacles which was now also covered in that black goo.

The tentacle smashed through the floor after Spider-Man dodged it, revealing that it was much stronger than before. We could no longer afford a hit from them.

"Be careful. My Spider Sense is much muted against them for some reason." Spider-Man warned us.

Indeed, as I dodged one of Lady Octopus' tentacles, I could notice that the warning released by my spider sense was much later compared to before and the intensity was also lesser.

This was an uphill battle where our greatest advantage, the Spider Sense was not working well. Moreover, these were just minions. Their leader, the Black Spider-Man was still watching us patiently.

Was that bastard referring to us being controlled by that slimy goo when he talked about us joining him? It clearly seemed so.

"Miles, take care of Tombstone. He only has his strength going for him. With your invisibility, it should not be tough to fight him. Just make sure that you are not hit." Spider-Man instructed Miles upon seeing that Noir and Spider Ham were having difficulty dealing with both Tombstone and Scorpion.

"Got it!" Miles said as he turned invisible.

Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, the sound of gunfire sounded once again. As I looked to see what was happening, I saw that the gunmen were firing at the Black Spider-Man, fear clearly visible on their face at his abnormal appearance as well as the fact that he now controlled Lady Octopus, Tombstone and Scorpion.

"Mere insects dare to attempt to hurt me!" The Black Spider-Man said furiously as he dodged the bullets.

This at least showed that he was not invincible. He could still be taken down.

"You will pay for this!" The Black Spider-Man exclaimed as he jumped towards the gunmen with his four legs.

I prayed for the gunmen since I knew that the Black Spider-Man was going to massacre all of them.

Despite knowing this fact, we could do nothing since we were still engaged in battle. The screams of the dying gunmen sounded in my ears yet I could do nothing except dodge another one of Lady Octopus' tentacles.

"This is going nowhere." Noir said furiously, frustrated by his inability to save the gunmen.

Bang!

Irritated, Noir actually took out his gun and shot Scorpion.

Krr!

To our surprise, the black slimy goo was clearly damaged by the gun since the suit formed by the slimy goo changed its shape near the area where the bullet had been hit and even left it open for a second.

"Perhaps this can work." Miles said as he saw the bullet hit Scorpion. He reappeared behind Tombstone and punched at his neck, unleashing a Venom Strike at full power.

The black slimy goo was damaged so much by Miles' Venom Strike that it simply left Tombstone and ran away.

"Use this, Noir." Peni shouted as she threw a taser at Noir.

"It's game over now, little Scorpion." Spider Ham shouted as he hit with a wooden hammer at Scorpion's head, distracting him.

Bang! Bang!

Noir shot a series of bullets at Scorpion, disturbing the suit formed of slimy goo and then jabbed him with the taser.

Krr!

The black slimy goo ran away as it had been too damaged by Noir's continuous attacks.

"Good Night, Lady Octopus." Miles shouted as he struck Lady with a Venom Strike by taking advantage of his invisibility while Spider-Man and I distracted her.

"Now, only he is left." Spider-Man said as he looked at the Black Spider-Man who has now facing Wilson Fisk, the last survivor here except us.

As we swung towards the Black Spider-Man, we saw the dead bodies of the gunmen. Their bodies had been torn apart as if the one who had done who was a monster, not a man.

"Leave Fisk, whoever you are." Spider-Man threatened the black clad one who had Fisk's neck in one of his hands and was about to crush it.

To our surprise, the Black Spider-Man actually listened to our words and threw away Wilson Fisk, sparing him.

"To think that all of you won against the lesser symbiotes so easily. You are indeed worthy of joining us." The Black Spider-Man said, applauding us.

Bang!

Noir shot at the Black Spider-Man with his gun, perhaps because he was too frustrated by his words. However, the Black Spider-Man simply stopped the bullet with one of his hands.

"I am much stronger than the lesser symbiotes. These little tricks will not work against me." The Black Spider-Man said with a laugh.

Then, suddenly one of the Black Spider-Man's arms transformed into a tentacle which extended and hit Noir who could not even dodge it and was slammed into a nearby wall.

"You alright, Noir!" Miles asked in a worried tone.

"Cough! Cough! I think a few of my bones are broken. Be careful, everyone. The Spider Sense is not working at all against him." Noir warned us.

Just how were we going to stop this guy? Spider Sense was not working against him for some reason. Moreover, it was clear that he was not even using his full power.

The Black Spider-Man's hand turned once again into a tentacle and he pointed it this time towards me!

Fortunately, I was ready for a surprise attack so I activated the shield bracelet Peter had installed inside my suit along with a fireball ring.

The tentacle broke the shield as it smashed against it but the impact flung me away.

Since my magic artefact had already been revealed, I immediately shot a firewall at the black Spider-Man as I landed because he was still retracting the tentacle, giving me a perfect opening.

However, he easily dodged the fireball with just a small sidestep.

"Just because your Spider Sense are not working doesn't mean that mine isn't too." The Black Spider-Man said with a chuckle.

"Still, to think that you have a magic artefact even though it is a basic one. It would be quite interesting to conquer your world. Ha ha ha ha!!"

I could only despair in front of his laugh since there seemed to be no way to defeat him. I wish Peter was here. He would have finished this bastard with just one of his lightning spears.

"Huh!" The Black Spider-Man's laugh suddenly ceased as he looked at the portal with surprise clearly visible on his face.

The portal had turned a kaleidoscopic rainbow colour, revealing that someone was using it like the Black Spider-Man had done to arrive here. At this moment, that rainbow colour felt like a ray of hope for us.

As expected, a man soon came out of the portal. He was young man with long blonde hair and piercing blue eyes.

He wore white regal clothes along with a longcoat as well as a feather ornament on his right shoulder. Moreover, he had a strange looking staff in his hand.

"Who the hell are you? How did you get here?" The Black Spider-Man asked threateningly.

The man didn't answer his question but started saying something else instead. As his staff suddenly started glowing, it became clear that he was casting a spell.

Stars. Cosmos. Gods. Animus. Antrum. Unbirth.

O' Stars, veil the fate of this world.

[Stellar Barrier]

As soon as the spell was casted, it felt as if the stars had descended on Earth.

And so, the legend has arrived! The fate fans would already know who is this guy. But for those who don't, just know that he is a GOAT from Type Moon series.
