Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Legend of Clone
"Whoosh!"
The two metal sheets swirled like two sharp razors around Eric's body, and the multiple images produced by his over-speed movement shuttled back and forth between the metal storms, and the pieces of metal that flew by at nearly semisonic speed under his feet were like a flat boat swimming upstream, riding the wind and waves towards Doctor Octopus at the center of the storm. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Peter and Jessica were stopped at the perimeter of the storm, broken pipes and iron sheets churning in the dilapidated laboratory at speeds that were not even visible to the naked eye, walls were torn apart, the frame of the roof was partly blown away by the storm, glass shards were flying like snowflakes with the howling wind, and the two of them were already overwhelmed by the fact that they couldn't even slow down to fight back against Dr. Octopus.
Eric struggled to get closer to the eye of the metal tornado, Doctor Octopus's four arms dancing wildly under his command, like a conductor conducting a grand movement. With each step he took closer, Eric felt the pressure multiply, and the swirling metal shards seemed to build a huge web around him, leaving him with less and less room to dodge.
Finally, with a muffled thud, the metal arm shot out like lightning through the gaps in the countless parts, and the claws turned into sharp chainsaws that sliced through all obstacles in its path, slamming into the shoulder of the Amozo armor. Eric, who was moving at high speed, suffered this blow and his body suddenly retreated, sparks splashed out of his shoulders like blood, and his shoulder armor was completely cut off under the violent impact of ultra-high speed, and even cut the flesh and skin.
Eric's body continued to pierce through the layers of iron that swirled in the direction of the wind behind him, rolling to the ground.
"Eric!" Peter shouted and tried to get closer, but had to back off to avoid another steel pipe that shot at the door.
Eric clutched his shoulders and stood up, a streak of blood running from his fingers and sliding down the glossy shell of his armor. The damaged part of the shoulder armor seemed to extend out of liquid metal on its own initiative, and the gap was quickly repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was restored in the blink of an eye.
The speed has just slowed down, is it because of excessive consumption?
Eric already felt a little deprived of oxygen in his brain, like an athlete near the finish line in a marathon, and it was also a wake-up call that the high-speed gear was approaching the limit, indicating that he was about to reach the limit of the maintenance of the speed mode.
In that case, it's better to give it a go with all that you have left.
"100% output power...... Charge completed. ”
The golden electricity spread through the armor along the limbs, and even the position of the eyepiece seemed to be ignited. In an instant, the speed force field expanded to the maximum with its ultimate power, dragging every flying metal fragment and every particle of dust in the air that was stirred by the air flow into the realm of time, traveling at a turtle speed.
The speed of energy charged from the energy core into his right arm, converging on Eric's right fist, and the arm seemed to turn into a cloud of lightning.
The speed was at full speed, and Eric burst out in an instant. The electricity wrapped the afterimage and turned into gold, like a sharp arrow through the night. This time he stopped dodging and rushed straight into the howling storm, golden lightning slicing through layers of obstacles, torn iron sheets whirling into the remaining walls on either side, the fractures charred as black as charcoal.
Doctor Octopus didn't even see where the attack was coming from, and the moment the whirlwind swept through the door, he only subconsciously raised his metal arm - it probably saved his life, as it turned out. Alloy's iron fist slammed into his metal arm, and with its body it shook back, and the octopus sat down in embarrassment as it fell to the metal ruins, the heavy impact piercing through the metal arm and sending him blood spurting wildly.
However, this also depleted Eric's last energy, and with a "energy depleted" prompt, the armor was lifted back into Eric's back and re-entered sleep mode.
The storm subsided, and all the flying pieces of metal fell back to the ground. But Otto hadn't fallen yet, he was propping himself up with his metal arms and gritting his teeth, his gums red from blood.
"You ......"
He seemed to be trying to say something, but Eric didn't have a chance to know what he was trying to say. Peter and Jessica both flashed in front of him, their fists slamming into Doctor Octopus' cheeks, one left and one right. Otto threw his head up and screamed, and fell to the ground again, and the four paws finally stopped moving.
"You'd better lie down, Octopus Elf." Peter said indignantly.
"Yes, he's right." Jessica adds, "You should go and be with the fish in the aquarium. ”
In this way, if Jessica is a complete copy of Spider-Man, her mouth cannon kung fu should not be weak at all, right? This man and woman work together not like a superhero squad, but like singing a double reed. Eric burst out laughing at the strange thought.
"Okay, it looks like it's over." Peter took a deep breath, "Now let's go." ”
"Where are you going?" Jessica asked.
"I promised, and I'll have to listen to them."
"No, that Nick Fury almost killed you!" Jessica objected.
Peter shook his head: "I have to face all this, I can't run away." If I run away, they will come and arrest me, and the safety of MJ and Aunt Mei is more important. ”
"Okay, that's up to you." Jessica turned, "I don't want to argue with myself anymore. ”
"Where are you going?"
Her figure vanished into the darkness, never to be answered. Peter looked in the direction in which she had disappeared and was stunned for a long time.
Eric stood up: "Are you okay?" ”
"Not so good."
Peter paused for a moment and added, "Thank you very much, though. ”
"Don't worry, things aren't as bad as you think." Eric patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Actually, they're just trying to pull you in." ”
Peter sighed, "Do I have a choice?" ”
New York Hospital.
As the long night crept away, the sun cautiously showed half of its head, and the dark clouds seemed to be half-opened curtains, and the sunlight poured into the open roof of the top floor of the hospital.
Richard Parker -- or the clone who thought he was -- had become wrinkled overnight, as if his entire life had been condensed in those hours. He sat down tremblingly holding on to the tank, gasping for breath in the sun.
Tony Stark stood silently beside the old man, watching him struggle to prop up his waist.
"Need any help?"
"No, I just want to sit here for a while." The clone spoke, pausing, and asked, "You...... Would you like to be his friend, Mr. Stark? ”
"Who?"
"Peter." He said in a low voice, "After going through so much, he will need a friend like you." Although he will not turn to people for help, he ...... He was orphaned, and that was very heavy on him. Would you like to be his friend if you needed to? ”
Tony's heart moved. This man was just a clone of Peter Parker, and now he knew it in his own heart, but only the worry and love that belonged to his father in those old eyes were real.
Even if it was just a clone, he did have memories and emotions that belonged to Peter's father.
"Of course."
"Thank you."
The clone closed his eyelids heavily, and fell into a deep sleep by the tank.
The dark clouds finally cleared, and the sun rose completely, shining warmly on the empty rooftop, reflecting the dazzling golden light on the glass windows.
