**Chapter 239: Forming the Core, Fighting the Snake**
"Hey, who are you guys? Why are you ambushing me?"
Peter Parker, who was just performing heroic deeds, had just shot his Webbing to stick a Black Person robber to the wall when his Spider-Sense suddenly felt a draft behind his head. He shot out Webbing, leaped up, and swung like on a trapeze, jumping onto the rooftop. He turned back to look at the group of Big men on the ground.
A Big man calmly retracted the baseball bat in his hand and gave him a sinister smile, baring his white teeth.
"A Child, Frank, you didn't tell me the target this time was a Child!"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind him. Peter Parker quickly turned around and saw several people standing by the rooftop edge, looking him over. One of them, a trench coat-wearing Big man with a cigar in his mouth, said to his associate beside him with some dissatisfaction.
"Hey, mate, are you mocking me for being small? Honestly, I secretly measured last night, it was twenty, or maybe twenty-five..."
Peter Parker, no, Spider-Man, glared at Logan with some dissatisfaction. At this moment, the young man felt insulted.
Logan, who had once been used by Boss Tang as a vessel for a Fallen Holy Spirit, was not discarded after Mephisto was killed by the Nail Head Seven Arrows Book. Instead, Boss Tang arranged for him to work under Frank, giving him a public service job.
It couldn't be helped. Ever since he used the Nail Head Seven Arrows Book to kill Mephisto, Logan's luck had been ridiculously bad, the kind where he'd even choke on water. It wasn't until he joined S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Supernatural Task Force that things got better.
"Is that so!" Originally, because Spider-Man's voice was as childish as a Child's, Logan didn't want to bully the young. Now, hearing his words, Logan casually flicked his hand, and three silvery claws popped out from between his fingers.
"Okay! I'm still a baby!" Seeing the sharp claws, Peter Parker decisively chose to admit the fact that he was small.
"Can I ask why you're stopping me? I'm New York City's friendly neighborhood! Are you Gang? Did I mess up your business?"
"Peter Parker, your situation has been revealed. We've already caught that Blind Person, and he admitted to stealing national secrets with you. Please come with us!"
"Blind Person? Are you talking about Mr. Matt? Hey, hey, hey, there must be some misunderstanding here. I'm on the side of justice, sir. Didn't you watch the live broadcast of the Lyon Battlefield? Me, Spider-Man!"
Spider-Man gestured with both hands, trying to prove his identity.
Because of his High School exams, he hadn't participated in the Conjunction of the Nine Realms or the battle to ambush the Dark Elves, so he didn't recognize Frank.
However, hearing that the other party was Government personnel, he didn't want to conflict with this group of people.
"Three days ago, someone invaded a S.H.I.E.L.D. Secret Base on the West Coast. A large amount of data was lost from the Base. We retrieved the surveillance from the Base. There were a total of three criminals who broke into the Base: you, a vigilante named Matt with the nickname Daredevil, and that super-Mercenary called Deadpool!
Daredevil has already been captured by us. Where is Deadpool? If you tell us his whereabouts, we can try to get you a reduced sentence!"
"Hey, listen to me, there must be a misunderstanding here. We didn't know that was a S.H.I.E.L.D. Base. We went there to investigate someone's criminal evidence. You're S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, you should know Captain and Mr. Coulson. We were commissioned by them..."
Hearing Frank's serious words and the mention of going to Prison, Spider-Man was a bit stunned. After all, he was still just a High School student. He explained in a panic.
He didn't notice at all that he had already sold out Phil Coulson and Captain America.
"I can't explain it clearly to you right now. I'll contact Mr. Coulson later and have him explain it to you..."
The slightly frightened Spider-Man turned around, intending to shoot out Webbing and jump off the rooftop to escape.
Behind Frank, a Big man reached for his waist and threw a throwing knife towards Peter Parker's forehead.
Peter Parker's lower body didn't move, but his upper body leaned back, easily avoiding the throwing knife shot by the Big man.
"Swish swish swish!"
The Big man simultaneously shot out four or five throwing knives from his hand, aiming at Spider-Man's forehead, heart, throat, and groin.
"Hey, hey, hey, that's too cruel! You can't do this to me! I don't even have a girlfriend yet!"
Peter Parker leaped four or five meters high, did a somersault in mid-air, and dodged the Big man's throwing knives.
"Pfft!"
He flicked his right hand, and a white spiderweb formed from Webbing shot towards the Big man's face.
Truly: shooting you in the face! "Alright, capture him. Boss is waiting!"
Frank looked at his Subordinate with some dissatisfaction and said in a deep voice.
These people were all superhumans recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D., mostly Mutants from Utopia, and the Werewolves under their command.
"Hey, you're their leader. Who is your Boss? Aren't you Government people?"
Spider-Man looked at Frank, clapped his hands, and made a funny action.
"What?"
He suddenly felt his foot tighten. Lowering his head, two green vines as thick as hemp ropes grew out of the cement ground on the rooftop, tightly wrapping around his legs! Not far from him, a green-haired youth clasped his hands together, controlling the vines.
The green-haired youth came from Utopia and was also a member of the S.H.I.E.L.D. special operations team. His ability was to control plants. Although the development level wasn't high, his prospect was promising.
Currently, providing support was also good. Judging by the young man's tightly clenched fists, he was working very hard.
"Child, I told you, fighting is a matter for adults. Don't try to be a vigilante like others!"
Logan threw the cigar in his mouth onto the ground and walked towards Peter Parker. "Bang!"
Logan was sent flying four or five meters through the air, hitting the large Iron Gate on the rooftop with a clang.
Peter Parker retracted his fist and exerted force with his legs. The vines binding him instantly snapped into inch-long pieces.
Frank watched this scene, his gaze instantly narrowing. Peter Parker's punch had at least over a ton of force. "Hey, I'm not someone to be trifled with!"
Peter Parker looked at the few people who were eager to fight. Like a newborn calf not fearing a tiger, the Strength brought by the Super Spider made him feel a bit overconfident.
In reality, the reason Peter Parker transformed into a Superhero was thanks to his parents.
They had modified his gene coding, and that Super Spider was merely the key to unlocking the gene coding.
"Kid, you've angered me!"
Logan was pulled off the door by a Mutant. It couldn't be helped; he had smashed into the door, leaving a concave shape.
"Swish!"
Two silvery wolf claws emerged from Logan's hands. Logan charged directly towards Peter Parker.
"Cool, doesn't it hurt when those claws grow out of your flesh and blood?"
Spider-Man quickly dodged Wolverine's attack, and casually quipped.
However, his Spider-Sense warned him of the danger from these two steel claws. He quickly dodged.
Every now and then, he'd land a surprise punch on Wolverine, sending Wolverine flying five or six meters away.
Wolverine directly transformed into an Undying Cockroach. After being hit, he would get up without a sound and charge with his wolf claws.
Fierce as a wolf!
Spider-Man was also a bit startled for a moment. His previous rivals were either thugs or gang enforcers. Where had he ever seen someone as reckless as Wolverine?
Moreover, he hadn't held back. Let alone people, if he punched down, even a steel plate would dent by three points, and an iron pillar could be directly broken.
"Whoosh!"
Just as Spider-Man was looking at Wolverine and considering tying him up with spiderweb, he felt a draft behind his head. A slap with several afterimages struck towards the back of his head.
Spider-Man's body hair instantly stood on end. He lunged forward and, at the same time, kicked backward with both feet, kicking towards the sneak attack enemy.
Bang! Frank slapped the bottom of Spider-Man's foot. Crack, Spider-Man vaguely heard the sound of his leg bone being unable to bear the weight.
Peter Parker half-squatted, looking back warily at the Big man in front of him. Very strong.
A bone-chilling pain came from his foot.
Frank was a ruthless man of few words. He quickly walked towards Spider-Man, raised his fist, and threw a punch. Red flames faintly surrounded his fist.
Bang! Spider-Man blocked with both arms, taking Frank's punch head-on. Hiss hiss hiss hiss, his feet plowed four or five meters across the rooftop ground, and he crashed against the wall with a bang.
The tables had turned. His entire body was imprinted on the concave human-shaped mark that Logan had just made.
"Whoosh!"
Frank threw another punch. Spider-Man, relying on his Spider-Sense, tilted his head to avoid the attack. Boom, the wall behind him collapsed directly.
Spider-Man has great potential for development. He can even intercept a train by bursting with physical strength.
However, that's after he adapts to his own strength. Right now, he is still slightly immature.
Before Frank joined Tang Group, his physical quality was already at the human limit.
After following Tang Song, cultivating the God-Demon Transformation, plus the boost from Serum Zero.
After transformation, even if he encountered a top Superhero like Hulk, it was unknown who would win.
Spider-Man felt the attack that seemed to shake the entire building, his complexion paled, and he subconsciously reached for his Web-Shooters. If he couldn't win, he naturally had to run.
Swish swish swish swish!
Four vines like Spirit Snakes bound his hands and feet. Spider-Man subconsciously tried to break free with force.
Whoosh, Frank's fist smashed down...
"Take him away!"
Looking at the unconscious Spider-Man on the ground, tied up in a shameful Tortoise Shell binding by the vines, Frank said coldly.
"Well photographed. Make some copies and send them to a few Newspaper Offices and television stations in New York!"
Boss Tang, who was playing golf at a Golf Course in Seoul, looked at the photos of Spider-Man in Tortoise Shell binding that Frank had faxed over with great interest. With the idea that sharing pleasure is better than enjoying it alone, he ordered. Frank on the other end of the phone instantly felt a shiver, feeling a chill down his spine at Boss Tang's dark humor.
"Superheroes, although I don't like their personality, I really like their actions. When danger strikes, someone always has to stand at the front. We taxpayers can't go personally, that wouldn't be appropriate! Unfortunately, they can't commit crime either!? Do Superheroes have special privileges!?
I run a legitimate company. It's perfectly reasonable for an arms dealer to have some secret cooperation with you S.H.I.E.L.D., right?"
"Very reasonable, Boss!" Frank echoed his Boss's rambling helplessly.
"How's the interrogation going? They didn't get anything, did they?"
"Boss, you predicted everything like a god. That Counterfeit Money Base of ours is under S.H.I.E.L.D.'s name.
The data they found were all irrelevant things, but the level of confidentiality was very high. With these, we can definitely send them to Prison!"
"Have everyone been caught?" "Boss, Daredevil Matt and Spider-Man Peter Parker have been apprehended. Only Deadpool is left! We are currently searching for him!"
"Make a phone call to the High Table. Get the people in the Underworld moving!"
"Yes! Boss!"
Hanging up the phone, Tang Song picked up the golf club beside him and walked towards Skye, who was playing golf. Yoo Rachel beside her was teaching her how to play golf hand-in-hand.
Skye swung the club, and the small white ball flew far away, landing in the hole. A hole-in-one! "Boss, how was my shot!" Skye beamed with joy.
Yoo Rachel beside her continuously flattered this "Mistress"! Boss Tang also gave her a thumbs-up and stepped forward to planted a kiss on her forehead.
Skye was a little shy: "It's all thanks to the Cultivation Method you taught me, Boss. After practicing it, my physical quality has improved so much.
Boss, have you already mastered it? You don't need to practice anymore, do you?
Recently, I feel like you've been Cultivating in Seclusion much less. Will you not need to Cultivate in Seclusion anymore in the future? Every time you Cultivate in Seclusion, it takes a long time, especially that time you went to Iceland and the period before that—"
"Mastered! No need to practice anymore!"
Skye's words reached Tang Song's ears like a sudden clap of thunder in a clear sky, instantly clearing his head.
It was like being doused with a basin of ice water after staying up all night and being in a groggy state.
"Boss!" Skye looked at Tang Song, who suddenly changed complexion, fluctuating between gloom and brightness, with some confusion. Then, as if going mad, he yanked off the Thumb Ring on his thumb, along with the vermilion bracelet, and threw them far away.
She was a bit at a loss, and Yoo Rachel beside her was even more scared, not daring to make a sound.
"Whoosh!" Tang Song took a long breath, then slowly, slowly, slowly exhaled it bit by bit. "I'm fine! Thank you, Skye!"
Skye was hugged by Tang Song with some confusion, blinking her eyes, not knowing what had happened.
Tang Song beckoned with a bent finger, and the two Infinity Stones that had fallen far away on the ground flew back into his hand.
"Tools are always just tools. Before, I had somewhat put the cart before the horse!"
Tang Song held the Yellow Jade Thumb Ring and the Vermilion Bracelet tightly in his hand. When he threw out the two things, his dusty state of mind instantly brightened.
At this moment, the Gang Fiend Qi inside his body was polished to perfection, the Dragon-Tiger intertwined, vaguely forming a perfectly round Black and White Taiji Golden Core.
Thick volcanic ash blocked the sun.
With Frank's eyesight, he could only barely see the burning tree sea rapidly passing below the Quinjet.
He had just escorted Peter Parker back to S.H.I.E.L.D. when he received the order to come to Japan for reinforcements.
He received Hill's information even before the Avengers.
However, he didn't immediately sortie. Instead, he first went to the Federation's Military Base in Japan.
Waiting for the reinforcement forces to arrive one after another.
"Tony Stark has arrived. Let our people depart as well. Remember, maintain distance, don't get too close!"
On the outskirts of Mount Fuji, with Frank's order, four modified, twin-rotor, multi-engine helicopters lifted straight into the sky.
The hatch of all helicopters were open, and standing on the footboards outside the hatch were Hulking Men in black uniforms. Frank himself also boarded a helicopter.
The roar of the helicopter engines quickly disappeared into the rolling black smoke. High up on Mount Fuji, the black smoke blowing towards them carried warmth and beat against the helicopter.
At this time, everyone on the helicopter was wearing gas masks. Because there hadn't been a large-scale eruption, the volcanic ash hadn't yet reached the point of affecting the helicopter's flight.
Frank looked out the window. In the distance, dozens of gold and red Iron Armor were surrounding a giant beast with eight heads and seven tails.
The giant beast, missing one head, its blood flowed continuously down the mountain rocks of Mount Fuji from its severed neck, like sulfuric acid, easily corroding through the mountain wall.
Frank was about to give the order for the helicopters to fire the loaded missiles at the Yamata no Orochi in the distance. The Yamata no Orochi in the distance, several snake heads let out roars towards the sky.
On its empty snake neck, flesh and blood rapidly grew. It didn't take long for a snake head to grow back.
Half an hour ago,
Mountain rocks splashed into the valley below Mount Fuji, amidst the tree sea. After a long time, muffled rumbling sounds echoed. Eight huge black snake heads stretched out into the air, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. Acid Breath, huge Lava Fireballs, Blue Energy Breath...
The eight snake heads were like eight giant turrets, and for a long time, brilliant fireworks bloomed in the high altitude.
Swish swish swish—
Tony Stark, while rapidly dodging the Yamata no Orochi's attack in his Iron Armor, occasionally shot out missiles, harassing the big guy below.
This was to achieve the purpose of tying it down.
"Does this guy have so much saliva? It's been spitting for so long and hasn't finished! It's just not accurate enough!"
Tony Stark performed an S-shaped tactical maneuver in mid-air, avoiding the incoming Lava Fireball.
The car-sized scorching Lava Fireball almost grazed Tony Stark's body as it shot past. He even had the leisure to tease the Yamata no Orochi.
The Yamata no Orochi stretched out its snake heads, looking at the delicious little flies buzzing around overhead. One of the snake heads paused for a moment, and a hint of impatience flashed in its cold Snake Eyes.
"Hey, hey, hey—where is this big guy with eight heads going?"
After teasing the Yamata no Orochi, Tony Stark suddenly looked down and found that its huge body had started to turn and was crawling down the mountain.
Falling rocks rolled down. The big guy with eight heads and eight tails was like a giant bulldozer. As it crawled, it forcibly created a mudslide on Mount Fuji.
Tony Stark was a bit anxious. Their original target was indeed to lure this giant snake down the mountain, but the nearby residents hadn't all been evacuated yet. If this giant beast came down the mountain and actually reached a human city, it would be a complete disaster.
Swish swish swish swish—
In his urgency, Tony Stark released all the missiles carried by his Iron Armor.
Boom boom boom boom boom—
The missiles landed on the Yamata no Orochi's snake body. After the rumbling smoke and dust dispersed, the giant beast merely shook off the dust on its body and continued crawling down the mountain.
"Tony! What's your situation?"
Captain America heard the urgency in Tony Stark's tone and quickly inquired.
"That big guy wants to leave Mount Fuji! I'm trying to hold it back!"
Seeing that the Yamata no Orochi had no intention of stopping, Tony Stark gritted his teeth and flew down directly, intending to use himself as a decoy to attract the giant beast's attention.
This move was indeed effective. After Tony Stark lowered his height, the Yamata no Orochi, facing the little sweet treat that suddenly flew before its eyes, indeed stopped crawling.
Several snake heads began to bite at the sky, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
Tony Stark was like a mosquito or fly weaving between several fly swatters, feeling quite like dancing on the tip of a knife.
Boom boom boom boom—
Crack crack!
"Sir, missiles have been depleted. Arc Reactor energy reserve is at 57%!"
"Activate Energy Attack Mode! By the way, when will our family members arrive!?" Listening to J.A.R.V.I.S.'s voice, Tony Stark gave orders while inquiring.
"Sir! Reinforcement Iron Armor will arrive in five seconds! Five four three two one..."
Amidst J.A.R.V.I.S.'s calm countdown voice, dozens of white air currents also flew towards Mount Fuji from the horizon not far away, like missiles shooting over.
Dozens of Iron Armor of various models and sizes quickly arrived in the battlefield sky.
"All units activate Energy Attack Mode, engage Laser Cutting!"
Buzz buzz buzz! With Tony Stark's order, a gold and red Iron Armor with mechanical arms like spider claws on its back was the first to join the battlefield.
Under J.A.R.V.I.S.'s control, the six mechanical arms on the back of this Iron Armor all aimed at the Yamata no Orochi below.
Blue energy light layered up from the Arc Reactor on the Iron Armor's chest, spreading to its mechanical arms. Then, six egg-thick lasers shot directly towards the Yamata no Orochi's snake heads.
The six dazzling lasers instantly pierced through the surface scales of the Yamata no Orochi's snake heads, leaving six holes on its head.
However, compared to the Yamata no Orochi's huge snake heads, these holes were too small, not even counting as pinholes.
A three or four-meter-tall Big Guy Iron Armor landed in front of one of the Yamata no Orochi's snake heads and swung its thick iron fist directly towards its head.
The pneumatic power pump, supplied with energy from the Arc Reactor, instantly unleashed dozens of tons of force from the iron fist.
The snake head that was spitting out poison was instantly sent flying upward by this punch, the poison in its mouth spraying out like saliva.
Bang bang bang—
This Big Guy Iron Armor named "Hulkbuster Armor" landed a punch. Its iron fist was close to the underside of the Yamata no Orochi's snake head. With the air pump operating at high speed.
Another dozen punches continuously struck the Yamata no Orochi's body.
"Hiss!"
Just then, a giant mouth suddenly appeared behind the Hulkbuster Armor, and then directly bit it.
One of the Yamata no Orochi's snake heads bit the Hulkbuster Armor in its mouth, and sparks instantly flew from its mouth.
"Activate self-destruct mode, give it some fireworks!"
Tony Stark, suspended in mid-air, had already changed into a new suit. He looked at the Hulkbuster Armor bitten in the Yamata no Orochi's mouth and decisively ordered.
As J.A.R.V.I.S. issued the command, a blue light flashed in the Yamata no Orochi's mouth, and then it exploded violently.
The intense explosion instantly enveloped several of the Yamata no Orochi's snake heads. Boom—
The firelight of the explosion shot up into the sky. The huge fireball formed by the Arc Reactor exploded like a nuclear bomb on the summit of Mount Fuji.
When the gunsmoke cleared, the Yamata no Orochi's appearance was truly miserable.
Especially the snake head that had bitten the Hulkbuster Armor in its mouth, which bore the brunt of the explosion, was directly blown into a pool of minced flesh and blood, leaving only the empty snake neck swaying unconsciously.
