Chapter 136: R: The Bat Incident (18)
In the skies over Brooklyn, Peter once again confronts the pain of a superhero.
Just as he had faced Matt, it was the first time he heard Stark speak of his fears, and it was the first time he felt his inner struggle.
Peter suddenly discovers that people who seem to be heroes always have the same qualities, and what drives Daredevil Matt and Iron Man Stark is the same kind of motivation.
Nor has Peter ever agreed to the phrase "noble is the epitaph of the noble."
Heroes are always trapped by their sense of morality that is higher than ordinary people, and they always have to do it, knowing that there is a dead end ahead.
But that doesn't mean they don't have fear and pain, Peter can feel it, Stark is in fear.
But he should also be afraid, and there is no one in this world who is not afraid of death.
But as if he was driven by something, like a moth to a fire, he walked towards the established path.
Even though Peter had described Stark's death in detail and told him about the fall from the top of the tall building, Stark flew towards it without hesitation, as if he had already found his own grave.
It was also like that night at Matt's Cottage, when Peter felt the same anger burning in his chest.
But this time, Peter thought, he would never witness another tragedy happen.

The same tragedy will not happen again, he is no longer the young Peter Parker of that time, no longer hesitating and giving up in contradictions, he has seen the path he has to take, and he will stop it no matter what it takes.
Peter suddenly felt as if his brain had been given a tranquilizer, and the boiling anger began to gradually calm down, and then condensed into a deeper force that continued to surge in his heart.
Suppressing this emotion, Peter said to Stark, "Let's go up together." ”
Steve, who was cleaning up the vampires downstairs, saw Stark and Peter fly to the top of the Highland Mansion together.
At this time, the night was already very deep, and the moonlight began to gradually brighten, and the cold moonlight shone on the blood, revealing an eerie purple, and the wings and claws of the bats shimmered with a mysterious luster.
Soon, several helicopters flew to the roof of the Highland Mansion with a device that looked like an enlarged version of a UV generator, all of which were in the shape of flower buds.
When the device landed, Stark stood in front of the machine and debugged it a few times, the machine lit up red, and the buds gradually unfolded.
And Peter was dealing with the bats flying over, after all, it was impossible not to attract the attention of the other side with such a big movement, and the vampire sent about a dozen bats to harass him.
Stark said to himself, "It takes about 5 minutes to activate, until all the gas is consumed, it takes about 20 minutes, and we need to stay here for half an hour until the mutant serum takes effect." ”
Steve himself has no ability to fly, he is more suitable for ground combat, the ground forces also need him very much, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are basically stationed on the ground, without them, ordinary people are too difficult to deal with those big bats, and when the battle situation is too anxious, there is no way to draw support, once forcibly transferred, the defense line may collapse completely.
Five minutes passed quickly, the bud-like generator gradually unfolded, and soon, Peter felt the air become moist, and then, Stark retreated, a violent wind blew, the generator disintegrated, and a spherical storm swept over the entire battlefield.
Peter leaned on the railing at the edge of the building and looked down, at first, the bats had not changed, but within two minutes, some of the bats began to shimmer with scales, and after about three minutes, the mutation exploded.
Many bats had a lizard's claw on their heads, and a leg suddenly grew on their wings, and Peter shuddered, because he found that these mutations were really a bit unsightly, and to put it bluntly, they were disgusting.
Imagine that a bat that was flying well in the air suddenly screamed, and seven or eight lizard legs grew out of its abdomen, and then it fell, and the whole bat turned into a ball of flesh made of tangled scales and claws.
Steve rolled and dodged a lizard meat ball monster that fell from mid-air, he felt a little uncomfortable in his throat, he said to the walkie-talkie, "Connors, this thing is a little too disgusting, oh my God, I've never seen ......it in all these years"
Indeed, the combination of bats and lizards is too unacceptable, this style of painting is too early for any carbon-based creature, and many front-line fighters, although not injured by the falling bat lizard monster, have suffered a considerable mental impact, squatting in place and retching.
But I have to say that this mutant attack effect is outstanding, and the vast majority of infected bats directly lose their ability to fight, after all, you can't expect monsters with seven or eight legs growing on their bodies and wings to fly as usual.
Most of the mutated bats fell in place, either falling into a pulp or rolling in place.
The bat's self-healing ability is also useless, in essence, they are not injured, just a few more parts, and the self-healing ability can only make the wound grow, but there is nothing that can be done about the extra scales, claws and legs.
However, while the vast majority of bats were infected, some survived, and when Deacon saw this, he yelled angrily: "Hurry up and attack that rooftop device!" Can't you see? That's what the hell is going on!! ”
He was going crazy, most of the living forces that could fight were infected, and Deacon couldn't crack this mutation for a while.
In just half an hour, the situation on the battlefield almost turned into a one-sided slaughter, and the humans recaptured the Brooklyn Bridge without encountering any resistance, and if this continued, the vampires would definitely be wiped out.
Deacon cursed loudly, but the situation did not improve, and finally, he said coldly, "It seems that the only way to make the great bat guard come in advance." ”
He stared coldly at the roof of the Highland Mansion, and said, "The great Bat Guard will destroy that damn device for us."
Stark and Peter, who were on the roof of the building, were concentrating on dealing with some surviving bats, when suddenly, Peter's spider sense sounded, and the hazy picture flashed, and Peter shouted, "Back off!!" There is danger!! Quickly back !! ”
Stark retreated, but it was still a little late, and a violent red light erupted from the center of the roof, and a pillar of red light shot straight into the sky, almost dimming the starlight.
Stark flew out of the roof directly by the light shock, Peter almost fell, fortunately he hung on the edge of the building with spider silk, and climbed up again in a few clicks, although Stark's mecha was damaged by the impact, but the power system was still usable, he also lay on the edge of the roof, and then jumped up.
In the center of the roof of the Highland Building, after the red light gradually dissipated, a figure appeared, and Peter saw a male figure with long black hair, wearing a gown, and red eyes, appearing in the center of the pillar of light.
This is indeed the common image of vampires, and Peter's spider sense has almost reached its peak.
He was about to be driven crazy by this strong sense of crisis, and the cells all over his body were telling him to run, get out of here, if he didn't leave, he would die.
The first thing the bat god guard said was, "Spider...... Where are you? Oh, here it is, my sacrifice......"
As if he had been choked by the neck, Peter slowly fell, feeling a huge suction force coming from the vampire's body, and he clutched his neck and struggled desperately on the ground.
The strength of the flesh could not resist this kind of soul suppression, and the time for Peter to obtain the spider mutation ability was too short for him to resist the cosmic vampires who roamed the multiverse to hunt Spider-Man.
Seeing this, Stark rushed over quickly, he held Peter down, ripped his hood off, then looked him in the eye and said, "Wake up!" Peter! Wake up, you have to resist him!! ”
But Peter just kept twitching, then rolled his eyes, and couldn't respond to Stark at all.
Stark was half-kneeling on the ground, and he looked up to see the figure calling himself the Bat Guard holding out a hand, as if sucking something out of Peter's body.
Stark didn't think about it, he directly raised his palm, and the palm cannon was fired at the vampire, but this vampire was not one of the bats of the earth after all, and a magic barrier appeared, easily blocking all of Stark's attacks.
Stark saw that the long-range attack didn't work, he rushed towards the vampire, at this time, Moron also noticed that there was someone else on the roof besides Spider-Man, but he didn't take Stark seriously at all, on the way to hunt Spider-Man, there were many local forces resisting him, but no one could succeed.
As soon as he waved his hand, Iron Man flew out, Stark saw that there seemed to be something in Peter's body that had been pulled out, he knew that it was probably Peter's soul, and he knew better that if this continued, Peter would definitely die.
Stark said to Jarvis, "Pop me out of the mech!" Then launch a self-destruct! He must be interrupted!! ”
"There's a dedicated self-destructing mech nearby, you ......"
"It's too late! Use this one! Stark shouted.
In an instant, Stark ejected directly from the upside-down mech, and then the mech rushed straight towards the vampire.
The moment Peter returned to consciousness, he saw Stark pop out of the mecha, and this picture gradually coincided with the picture of Stark's death that he saw in his consciousness.
Peter shouted, "No!!! ”
Before he could finish shouting, black slime surged out of one of his arms, wrapped directly around Stark, and then slammed it back, and Stark was thrown in front of Peter.
But the violent impact and the sudden stop in the high-speed movement still caused Stark's internal organs to suffer a huge shock, blood gushed out of his mouth, nose and ears, and almost instantly, Stark lost consciousness.
Peter gasped for air, he was almost going crazy, and the image of Stark's death kept replaying in Peter's mind, almost ......
This intense fear engulfed Peter's sanity, and his spider senses began to rattle wildly, and Peter's consciousness went into chaos.
Suddenly, the vampire saw Peter, who was half-kneeling on the ground, looking up at him, a look that felt very strange to him, and there was no fear or despair in it.
He had never seen any Spider-Man have such eyes, and in his hunting journey, he had seen too much fear, reluctance, and resentment in the face of death, but he had never seen the calm of this black sea.
"You damn vampire......" Peter slowly rose from the ground, his head down, strands of hair falling in front of his eyes, obscuring the bright moonlight and casting his eyes in shadow.
"Don't compare me to those bats." The vampire said, "I am a member of the great Moron family, and I am the god of the bats!" ”
"Bats? Not ......"
Endless black tides surged out of the consciousness space, and in a trance, a group of dark bats crossed a strange night sky.
When Moron heard it, Spider-Man's voice in front of him became low, as if it coincided with another cold voice:
"You haven't seen a real ...... Bat. ”
