Chapter 542: Dragonfly's First Battle
"You're no match for me, Spider-Man!"
Manipulating the mechanical tentacles behind him, he grabbed the mailbox around him and smashed it into the spider in mid-air, and Doctor Octopus's eyes shone with hatred under the sunglasses.
Dr. Octopus, whose real name is Otto Gunther Octavis, was originally a physicist with broad prospects, and even launched a research and development of a new energy source with the investment of the Austenthian Group, however, during an experiment on the development of new energy, the pipeline ruptured and caused radiation leakage, which caused a big explosion.
The explosion not only discredited Otto, but also took away his wife, who was also an assistant in the research experiment at the time, and under the influence of radiation, his brain tissue changed and fused with the mechanical tentacles used at the time to form a new nervous system, making him a half-human, half-mechanical monster.
"I've heard you say that more than once, Doctor Octopus."
Reach out and catapult the spider silk, and dodge the flying mailbox with your nimble positioning.
Peter looked down at Dr. Octopus, who was constantly attacking him with four nimble mechanical tentacles, but replied with the same unwillingness to be outdone.
"Then, this time I'll let you feel my awesomeness for yourself."
The death of his wife and his own circumstances have made Doctor Octopus from a promising doctor of physics to a supervillain.
In order to raise funds to continue his experiments, he chose the simplest and most brutal means of robbing the bank.
also encountered Peter, who was incarnated as Spider-Man.
Spider-Man's repeated obstruction made Doctor Octopus understand that if he wanted to complete his experiment, he had to deal with this annoying little bug.
Under the control of Doctor Octopus's mind, the huge metal tentacles behind him opened their claws and directly grabbed the car next to him and threw it at Peter.
Boom –
At the same time, the other two tentacles slammed into the ground, leaving two huge craters and the entire figure leaping into the air.
Although the mechanical tentacles behind Doctor Octopus are unable to fly, their powerful strength can easily help him complete his jumping actions.
In mid-air, the little spider flipped its body and used its feet to support the car, and in the next second, with the help of this support, the whole body jumped up another half a meter.
"What!"
However, before Peter under the mask could breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing the figure of Doctor Octopus appearing out of thin air, the other party waved his mechanical tentacles and grabbed the wreckage of the car heavily, and at the same time grabbed the car, the body that had fallen jumped up again at the same time, and while keeping parallel to Peter, a fierce look flashed in Doctor Octopus's eyes covered by sunglasses.
"Spider-Man, die!"
As the words fell, the huge mechanical tentacles opened and closed their sharp claws to grab Peter, who was unable to dodge.
Boom!
Under the inertia of gravity, Doctor Octopus fell heavily to the ground with the mechanical tentacles grasping Spider-Man.
With the powerful shock absorption ability of the tentacles, the impact of landing on the ground has almost no effect on Doctor Octopus.
However, Peter, who was caught by the tentacles, was not so lucky.
Because his body was unable to move, he suffered almost all the damage from this impact.
The back hit the ground and smashed a clearly visible pit mark, and the surrounding area was covered with a large number of cracks like spider webs.
"This time, I'll see how you still managed to escape from me, Spider-Man......"
With the support of the other three mechanical tentacles, Doctor Octopus looked down at the little spider that was held down by one of his mechanical tentacles, and the coldness on his face became more and more obvious.
"It's all over."
As Doctor Octopus spoke, a tentacle that had been supporting the ground lifted up and aimed at Peter's head, opening and closing its sharp claws, protruding a sharp drill from the middle.
"Feel the new item I've got for you, Spider-Man."
Under the effect of Superman's dynamic vision, Peter can clearly see the sharp luster of the tip of the drill, and if he is pierced in the head by this drill, Spider-Man may really become a dead bug.
"Hold on, Spider-Man!"
However, at this critical moment, a high-pitched voice suddenly came from the tall building behind the two of them.
Then, under the reflection of Doctor Octopus's sunglasses, a plump figure with a dragonfly logo on his dark green chest can be seen, jumping from the roof of the building, stretching out his arm and shooting out the same spider silk from his wrist as Spider-Man, sticking to the roof of another high-rise building.
"I'm here to save you, ...... Spider"
Echoing in mid-air, the dark green figure had not yet remembered to finish the stirring words that had come out of his mouth.
Smack-
In the next second, the palm of his hand grasping the spider silk slid away, and the whole figure slammed into the wall of the tall building like a headless fly, leaving a clearly visible mark.
Doctor Octopus: "......"
Seeing that Ned only had three seconds from his appearance to hitting the street, Doctor Octopus twitched the corners of his mouth and turned his head to look at the little spider who was pressed to the ground by himself: "Don't tell me, this guy is your savior, Spider-Man?" ”
"I hate to admit it, but he is."
If it weren't for the fact that his body was pressed to the ground by Doctor Octopus's mechanical tentacles now, the little spider would have wanted to reach out and cover his eyes.
After discovering that Ned had no way to move, Peter generously offered himself as a spider silk launcher so that Ned, who went to buy Dragonfly, could use it to move.
It's just that, although the mutation method is similar, the one who bites Ned is only a dragonfly and not a spider like Peter, and the mutated Ned does not have Peter's superhuman bouncing ability and his own body weight, which also makes him unable to move as flexibly as an ordinary dragonfly.
Therefore, even with the same spider silk catapult as Spider-Man, Ned can't shuttle between the high-rise buildings of New York City with the ease of Peter.
Fortunately, although he couldn't be as flexible as Peter, under the mutation of the ability of the radiating dragonfly exoskeleton, Ned's entire defense became extremely strong, and even if there was such a missed impact in front of him, it did not cause much damage to himself.
Falling from the wall of the tall building, Ned stood up and patted the dust off his uniform, and lifted the cloak behind his back.
Although, Peter, who is also a superhero senior, suggested that Ned remove the cloak from his uniform, believing that the existence of the cloak would affect the battle, and sometimes even cause unnecessary damage.
However, Ned, who has been baptized by the major superhero comics, believes that only superheroes with capes are real superheroes.
"Stop, Doctor Octopus, there's no way to escape! I, Dragonfly, will defeat you! ”
Looking directly at Dr. Octopus in front of him, the fledgling fat dragonfly burst with confidence.
"A self-righteous fool."
Although the superhero is not accidental, Ned's dark green outfit and plump body visible to the naked eye still make Doctor Octopus feel a little blind.
The corners of his eyes twitched under the sunglasses, and if he hadn't seen the other party fall from more than ten meters above and still be unscathed, Doctor Octopus even thought that the guy in front of him was a funny cosplay, and it was the kind that could be seen to be particularly unprofessional at a glance.
With a word of disdain, Doctor Octopus withdrew his mechanical tentacles aimed at Spider-Man's head, lifted a car on the side of the road and slammed it in Ned's direction.
Although he disdains Ned's existence, since the other party has come to him for trouble, Doctor Octopus naturally has no intention of keeping his hand.
Under the influence of the mutated neural circuits, Doctor Octopus's way of thinking has been very different from the past, although the four mechanical tentacles operate according to his thinking, but they themselves also have their own thoughts due to the relationship between the connected nerves, which also affects Doctor Octopus himself.
's mechanical thinking made his whole person cold and ruthless.
That's why, when he decided to continue experimenting, he immediately targeted the bank.
Because robbing a bank is the most effective way to get money quickly.
Boom –
With the tremendous power of the mechanical tentacles, the heavy car smashed like a cannonball in the direction of Ned.
However, seeing the car that was lifted up and thrown towards Ned by Doctor Octopus, Peter, who was trapped under the tentacles, did not have the slightest panicked expression.
Sure enough, looking at the car flying in front of him, Ned's expression under the green mask was a little panicked, but he didn't have too much fear. He looked at the car that fell with a loud bang, took a deep breath, and raised his fat arm directly to push it over.
After a loud boom.
The car that smashed into Ned was smashed into a 'concave' shape, and Ned himself, who was the target, showed no scars other than the scarring of the tight uniform wrapped around his arm.
"Haha, I knew that, Doctor Octopus, your attack was useless."
Successfully blocking Doctor Octopus's attack, Ned's originally nervous mood suddenly became excited.
Right now, as his first battle as a dragonfly, he can't be too stretched.
So raising his hand to throw the scrapped car in, Ned looked at Doctor Octopus in front of him, and stretched out his thick fingers to hook it, while turning his head to make a defiant sound.
"You can use all the means you have, and I will take it all over Dragonfly."
The moment he said this, Ned felt like the protagonist of a superhero comic, and his self-confidence was completely bursting.
Although the appearance of the fat dragonfly is not beaten, it is undeniable that the strength he shows also makes Doctor Octopus feel a little headache.
In particular, one of his mechanical tentacles at the moment must also suppress Spider-Man's plan to prevent him from breaking free.
This situation also caused Doctor Octopus to lose his greatest means of mobile mobility and had to stand still and fight Ned.
"There's got to be a bug first."
With such a thought flashing in his heart, Doctor Octopus looked down at the little spider that he had caught in the mechanical tentacles, and without the slightest hesitation, he decided to solve the object first.
"Don't you think about it!"
Ned, who successfully blocked Doctor Octopus, was swollen, but he was not completely brainless.
He watched Doctor Octopus swing his mechanical tentacles and knew he was going to do Peter's bad.
As Peter's friend and superhero companion, Ned naturally can't watch Spider-Man die in front of him.
Therefore, without hesitation, he rushed in the direction of Doctor Octopus.
"You've been fooled, Dragonfly!"
Seeing Ned throwing himself into the net, Doctor Octopus's two tentacles that were originally aimed at Spider-Man immediately jumped in the direction and smashed heavily towards Ned's body.
These mechanical tentacles seem to be nimble under Doctor Octopus's control, but they are extremely heavy, and their original purpose was to help Doctor Octopus carry all kinds of heavy equipment, so the power is so great that each tentacle can lift eight tons of heavy objects.
Boom!
Under the power of the tentacles, Ned rushed up like a green ball and flew out like a heavy ball.
However, it was Doctor Octopus who focused on attacking Ned and loosened his grip on Peter.
Although Peter, as Spider-Man, seems to be thin, in fact, his whole human strength is not lost to Ned under the mutation of the radiation spider. Seizing this opportunity, Peter's arm held down by the tentacles began to exert force, and under the effect of strong force, he directly lifted the mechanical tentacles pressed on his body, and at the same time raised his wrist to launch spider silk, and escaped from the range of Doctor Octopus's attack with flexible movements.
"Hiss~"
Successfully escaping from the captivity of the mechanical tentacles, Peter clutched his chest, and the corners of his mouth under the mask couldn't help but gasp.
The huge impact of the mechanical tentacles obviously left a lot of injuries on his body.
If it weren't for Peter's own physical fitness, the heavy blow that landed just now would have been enough to make him incapacitated, let alone escape from captivity now.
Here, Spider-Man seized the opportunity of Doctor Octopus's laxity and successfully broke free from control.
On the other side, Dragonfly, who was smashed like a leather ball, also slapped the dust on his body and walked out of the rubble of the wall that had been smashed into ruins.
"Ahem, ahem......"
"It seems that it is not for nothing that superheroes use full-face masks."
While covering his mouth and coughing, he became dissatisfied with the mask that showed his mouth.
"Pi...... Spider-Man, how did you break free? ”
Fanning the dust on his face, Ned's gaze inadvertently saw Peter, who had broken free, and almost slipped out.
"I took advantage of your efforts to attract Doctor Octopus and broke free."
Hearing Ned's words, although the little spider's heart was helpless, she still answered seriously, and at the same time, her eyes were still fixed on Doctor Octopus.
The current situation, everything will have to wait until after defeating Doctor Octopus.
"Great, since you're out, it's time for our Insect Alliance to wield!"
"I've said a long time ago that spiders are not insects."
