Yesterday, after the school trip, Ned noticed Peter seemed to have a fever. He canceled their plans to hang out and personally took Peter home.
Ned helped Peter ring the doorbell and handed him over to Aunt May, who opened the door. "Aunt May! Peter has a bit of a fever, so I brought him back."
"Thank you so much, Ned!" Aunt May thanked Ned and then helped Peter to his room.
Peter kept falling in a nightmare until he was caught in a giant web. Clinging to the web, terrified of falling, Peter suddenly felt a vibration on the web behind him. He turned and saw a giant spider opening its maw at him! Ah!
Peter woke up from the nightmare, drenched in sweat, and slowly sat up as if exhausted. He took deep breaths, slowly calming down. Peter didn't notice that his recovery speed was abnormally fast.
Peter got up and went into the bathroom to take a shower, but stopped in front of the mirror. He looked at himself in the mirror with confusion.
Is this me? Did I used to have such good eyesight? Did I have eight-pack abs before?
Peter was completely mesmerized by his muscles, constantly mimicking bodybuilders, striking various poses. It wasn't until Aunt May came to call him that Peter stopped. He quickly finished his breakfast and left.
Aunt May, seeing Peter in good spirits, muttered, "This kid! He just had a fever yesterday, and he's already crazy again today!"
Uncle Ben was more understanding. "Kids at this age are full of energy. I used to be just as energetic. Don't worry about him!"
Peter sat on the school bus, feeling the surge of power coursing through him. He felt like he could take down a bull with his bare hands, brimming with confidence.
But Flash wasn't pleased with Peter's smug demeanor and stuck his foot out as Peter walked by.
Peter had only just gained his superhuman strength and wasn't very skilled at using it, and his Spider-Sense hadn't manifested yet. He didn't notice Flash's foot and walked right into it.
Thud!
Peter fell flat on his face, scrambling to his feet amid the surrounding laughter. Flash offered a fake hand, saying, "You alright, Peter? You gotta watch where you're going!"
Peter was mortified but held his tongue, walking over to sit next to Ned.
"Peter, Flash totally did that on purpose. We can't just let it go. We need to talk to Zed," Ned said, though upset, he remained level-headed.
In Peter and Ned's experience, Zed was a loner, with only them as friends, never interacting or arguing with others. But Zed's lack of arguments didn't mean he was easy to bully. He'd just give the offender a flying kick to teach them a lesson.
If Zed found out about today's incident, he'd undoubtedly start a fight with Flash without hesitation. Peter didn't want to involve Zed and quickly tried to dissuade Ned from telling him.
Zed was in a good mood. He'd managed to swipe a Sports Gamer Bike from Dan Kuroto last night, and was now happily cycling to school. Just as he arrived, the school bus pulled up. Peter looked a bit down in the dumps getting off the bus, and Ned looked like he wanted to say something but didn't.
Zed was genuinely puzzled. Shouldn't Peter be happy after gaining powers yesterday? Maybe even a little arrogant? Why was he so glum?
Feeling confused, Zed planned to pull Ned aside and ask him about it when Peter left. But Zed didn't get a chance to speak with Ned alone all day. It wasn't until Peter went to the Basketball Court to help a friend hang banners for an art exhibition that Zed finally got a chance to be alone with Ned.
"Ned! What was going on this morning? Why was Peter so down? And what were you trying to say? Spill it!" Zed stared intently at Ned, trying to pressure him into telling the truth.
Ned had been wanting to tell Zed anyway, so he just told him everything that had happened that morning.
"Flash bullied him again! Why doesn't Peter fight back?" Zed was speechless. Not fighting back wasn't Zed's idea of how to live.
Although Ned wasn't good at fighting, he agreed with Zed on this point. "Peter didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he just took it. I wanted to tell you this morning, but Peter didn't want me to!"
"Alright! Where's Peter? I'll go talk to him!"
"He went to the Basketball Court to help his friend!"
"Basketball Court? Is he going to hang banners?"
"Yes!"
"This is troublesome!"
When Zed found Peter, Peter was already facing off against Flash with a basketball. Zed hurried over and put a hand on Peter's shoulder. Peter, blinded by anger, couldn't care less and tried to break free from Zed's grip with a forceful heave.
Huh~
Peter was puzzled why his current strength was so great, yet he couldn't break free. He tried again with more force, but Zed's hand didn't budge. Just as he was about to say something.
Zed pulled Peter behind him and then released his grip on Peter, glanced at him, and turned to Flash. "Leave the fighting to me! I don't do foreplay, it's all climax from start to finish!"
After saying that, he charged directly at Flash, without using any of Uncle Ben's combat techniques, nor using any strength beyond the limits of ordinary humans. Just like street thugs brawling, he fought however he wanted, however felt comfortable.
A flying kick landed squarely in Flash's gut, dropping him to the ground. His teammates charged at Zed, but Zed was even more aggressive, launching himself towards the burly Americans before they could react.
A brawl erupted. Zed hammered the center with his fists and kicked the guards. Someone's sneaking up from behind! Huh? Didn't hurt at all! He turned and delivered a headbutt.
Knee strike, knee strike, knee strike, and another knee strike, until the opponent curled up like a shrimp. He dropped the guy and turned to a new target, executing a rising dragon kick followed by a stomp, all in one fluid motion.
He switched targets again, lifting his leg for a kick, sending the guy flying. Then he chased after him, kicking him again, and again, and again.
By the end, there wasn't a single person left standing on the Basketball Court besides Zed.
He had single-handedly taken on the entire basketball team.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Zed swaggered out of the Basketball Court, slinging an arm around Peter's shoulders.
"Peter, you should leave this kind of thing to me. See? I know how to hold back!" Zed said meaningfully to Peter before humming a tune and striding away.
Peter, now composed, watched Zed's graceful exit and understood Zed's reason for fighting.
He didn't want to hurt Flash and the others with his newfound superhuman strength. Of course! According to Zed, it was fine to fight however he wanted as long as he didn't use that power, but instead used the strength of a normal person.
However, how did Zed know about the sudden changes in himself? And the strength Zed used to hold him down didn't seem like something a normal person could possess.
Confused, Peter couldn't figure it out, so he stopped trying. He quickly caught up to Zed, "Zed! Thank you!"
"Don't mention it. But, I figure someone will be notifying me to go to the Principal's Office soon. Are you coming along?" Zed waved his hand indifferently.
"Of course, how could I run off by myself? But, you have to tell me how you knew about the changes in me. Don't give me any nonsense; I haven't told anyone about this, not even Ned." Peter pestered Zed, wanting to understand this matter.
Zed, on the other hand, was a little regretful. He just didn't want Peter to clash with Flash and then argue with Uncle Ben, leading to an accident involving Uncle Ben. In a rush of adrenaline, he came over to fight and didn't consider the possibility of Peter discovering his unusual abilities.
Zed could only feign ignorance. No matter what Peter asked, he put on a look of complete ignorance, making Peter frantic.
"Zed! Don't play dumb! Tell me quickly!"
"What are you talking about? I don't know anything! I just thought you couldn't beat Flash and the others! Fine! I came all the way over here to help you fight, and you're still complaining. We can't be friends anymore!"
Peter was helpless against Zed's stubborn attitude. The two of them bickered all the way until a notice from the Principal's Office arrived.
In Dan Kuroto's laboratory, a large number of complex and messy wires were piled on the ground. Various professional instruments were operating, and all sorts of data and symbols appeared on Dan Kuroto's computer.
A maniacal laugh echoed in the laboratory: "Ah~ Hahaha~~~ Ha hehe~~ Haha~ It's almost done! My Dangerous Zombie Gashat and Gamer Driver! Ah~ Hahaha~~ Ha! I'll let that one-armed guy experience the power of God!"
Dan Kuroto laughed while pressing the start button of the machine, and a series of high-tech instruments began to work according to the preset program. The black and white Gashat and the fluorescent green Gamer Driver gradually took shape.
Picking up the Dangerous Zombie Gashat and Gamer Driver, Dan Kuroto transformed right in the laboratory. Unsurprisingly, both the Gashat and the Driver were perfect, even better than the ones he had made before.
After testing the performance and data of the Dangerous Zombie, Dan Kuroto de-transformed. He took out his Genm Watch Dial and caressed it. Now, the Genm Watch Dial was like Dan Kuroto's charging battery, while Zed's Space-Time Driver was the power source.
After remaking the Dangerous Zombie Gashat and Gamer Driver, the role of the Genm Watch Dial was greatly weakened. But the technology contained within it still fascinated Dan Kuroto. What kind of sparks would the high-tech from the future and his own God's talent create?
Dan Kuroto really wanted to conquer the era represented by this Genm Watch Dial. This was an excellent way to prove his God's talent.
Thinking it, Dan Kuroto immediately put the dial on the laboratory bench to begin analysis, with all the instruments working overtime. He himself returned to the Gashat creation table to begin manufacturing the Cronus Gashat.
