The discussions about extraordinary powers had been increasing in the news these past few days, with Tony Stark revealing his identity as Iron Man, followed by the battles in the streets of New York.
It was an absolute media explosion!
Footage of Hulk, Abomination, and the Time God Machine flooded the internet, while news of Oma Zi-O was completely suppressed.
Who would dare to leak information about Oma Zi-O?
A demon king who controlled the power of time had annihilated an entire army with a single blow. If that kind of news got out, the world would fall apart!
Under the direction of the UN Security Council, S.H.I.E.L.D., the FBI, and the CIA worked together to seal off the news of Oma Zi-O at the highest levels.
Forget the general public; except for those who had personally experienced it, those who were not qualified wouldn't hear any news.
At Osborn Industries, Dr. Connors' original laboratory was no longer filled with the scholarly atmosphere of the past, as workers were moving everything inside.
Everything in the lab, including the research equipment and scientific achievements, legally belonged to Osborn Industries, including the Lizard Serum that Dr. Connors had painstakingly researched.
Dr. Connors sat dejectedly to the side, lost in thought. Nobody wanted to tempt fate, so no one noticed the last vial of Lizard Serum hidden in his lab coat pocket.
Dr. Connors continuously rubbed the vial with his only hand. It wasn't until all the staff had finished their work for the day and locked the laboratory doors that he snapped out of his daze.
By then, it was already dark. Dr. Connors took out the Lizard Serum and muttered to himself: "I can't just end like this! I've spent half my life trying to heal this arm! This is my life's work! It can't just end like this!"
Dr. Connors took one last look at his empty arm before injecting the Lizard Serum.
Aaaah!!!
The chilling scream echoed inside the laboratory. Fortunately, Osborn hadn't skimped on the building materials, so Dr. Connors's scream didn't travel far and cause a disturbance.
When Connors regained consciousness, he had already transformed into a giant, humanoid Lizard monster.
Just like those white mice, Dr. Connors was now very irritable. The thought of Osborn ruining his research ignited a surge of rage. After tearing open the laboratory door, Dr. Connors went to seek revenge on Osborn.
Meanwhile, Peter, who had just obtained his internship, was naturally in a bad mood due to the lab's dissolution and returned to campus, sulking.
Ned couldn't cheer Peter up, but Gwen could!
"Peter! Wanna come over for dinner the day after tomorrow? My mom's a great cook!"
"Yes! Okay!"
The young Peter was very shy. If Gwen hadn't taken the initiative, it was unknown how long they would have waited to break the ice.
Excited, Peter was walking down the street when he heard a commotion. He hastily put on his Spider-Suit and swung towards the disturbance.
What Peter didn't know was that he had been under S.H.I.E.L.D.'s surveillance. As soon as he left, a passerby reported his whereabouts to their superiors.
In Nick Fury's office, Deputy Hill was reporting Peter's movements: "A giant humanoid Lizard appeared on the streets of New York, causing massive destruction. Peter Parker has already gone to the scene."
Nick Fury tapped the table lightly and asked, "Who among the people who have recently been in contact with Peter Parker is suspicious?"
"Peter Parker's friend, Zed Oleg, is highly suspected. However, there's no evidence to prove he's actually a problem," Coulson replied directly.
"Highly suspected? No evidence? What does that mean?"
Coulson projected Zed's file onto the big screen, saying, "Zed Oleg. Both parents deceased, raised by his great-uncle, Charlie Oleg. He's a loner, with only Peter and Ned as friends. Extremely skilled, once took down an entire basketball team by himself."
Coulson paused for a moment and continued, "Zed Oleg lives a monotonous life. School in the morning, learning watchmaking from his great-uncle in the afternoon, and exercising in the park at night. Our surveillance equipment has been recording him consistently. There's nothing unusual about the small warehouse he rents."
Coulson then displayed the surveillance footage. The screen showed Zed jogging at night and working out in the park.
Footage of Zed being robbed in Hell's Kitchen and then leaving dejectedly was also compiled.
The surveillance showed Zed leaving without stopping, while Oma Zi-O had already appeared and engaged with Matt and the others.
The footage played repeatedly, each scene serving as proof of Zed's absence.
"Wait! Go back!" Natasha suddenly said.
Everyone remained silent, not daring to interrupt Natasha as she examined the surveillance. After watching the footage repeatedly, Natasha looked up and said, "There's something wrong!"
Nick Fury's single eye gleamed, "Speak!"
"In the night surveillance, he's always alone! Truly alone! Not a single person greeted him, not a single person spoke to him, and no one even glanced at him!"
Natasha said, while rewinding the surveillance to the relevant points, "Almost all the night surveillance is like this. He's like an invisible man, going about his business on the street. Here! He's jogging at night, and someone is walking towards him. Although he moved to the side to avoid them, the person didn't react at all, not even a flicker of the eyes, as if there was no one there!"
Nick Fury stared at the surveillance and said, "So, these night surveillance videos have been tampered with. He wasn't even there!"
Natasha affirmed, "Yes!"
"Then even if this Zed Oleg isn't Oma Zi-O, he's got major problems!" Nick Fury said after pondering for a moment. "Oma Zi-O should be with Peter Parker right now. Send a team to investigate the area around Charlie Oleg's house, and another team to the location on the surveillance footage. See if this guy is really a ghost!"
"Yes, sir!"
As the best agent, Natasha had won this battle of wits against Zed, exposing his hidden identity.
The Golden Eye was, after all, just a program; it could fabricate surveillance videos of Zed's daily activities out of thin air, but it couldn't account for the reactions of every bystander.
These bystanders, originally Zed's alibi, had now become evidence of his crimes.
Just as Nick Fury had predicted, Zed was currently watching Peter and Dr. Connors' battle in secret.
Dr. Connors had charged onto the bridge, searching for Norman Osborn. He wanted to tear Norman to pieces.
"Osborn! Get out here!"
Frenzied and enraged, Dr. Connors flipped over all the vehicles blocking his path, smashing everything in sight and killing many innocent bystanders.
Connors hadn't found Norman Osborn yet, but Peter found Connors first. Peter, with a sense of justice, immediately engaged in battle with Connors.
Peter was confident in his strength, and fired several web-shooters at Connors, trying to restrain him.
But he didn't expect the Lizard's brute strength to be even greater than his own. Peter was dragged along by the web-shooters.
"Oh! No!"
Seeing that he was about to be pulled in front of the Lizard, Peter didn't dare to take a hit from the Lizard's sharp claws. If he got scratched, he would definitely lose half his life.
In a moment of inspiration, Peter slipped under the Lizard's legs, avoiding the Lizard's claws, and couldn't help but quip sarcastically: "Big guy, you need to trim your nails! It's fine if you scratch yourself, but it's not good to scratch others."
Dr. Connors, whose mental state was unstable, instantly flew into a rage: "Annoying bug!"
Two figures, one red and one green, began to grapple on the bridge again. Norman Osborn, hiding in a car, heard the Lizard calling his name and saw the tattered white lab coat on the Lizard's body.
"Is that Connors?"
Norman had already begun to suspect that the Lizard was Connors, who had injected himself with the Lizard Serum to take revenge on him.
But Norman didn't regret it.
Firstly, for himself and Harry, the Osborn family's hereditary disease had always been a nightmare for Norman; treating himself and Harry was paramount.
Secondly, for the company, the great battle that had occurred in New York was completely blocked by those above. Even a major capitalist like Osborn could only hear a little bit of the rumors.
Subsequently, the surge in military orders made Norman realize the seriousness of the situation.
The cake left behind by Stark Industries after it exited the arms industry was already enormous, and it became even more exaggerated after this great war.
The vicious competition between Osborn Industries and Hammer Industries forced Norman to make the decision to lay off Dr. Connors, who had been losing money.
Norman himself was also a scientist, and he had also developed a serum, intending to treat a hereditary disease within his family. It's just that Norman's talent in science was not high, and the effect of this serum was not ideal.
But now, Dr. Connors in his Lizard form provided Norman with another direction, a direction he could learn from and draw inspiration from.
A light called hope burst forth from Norman's gloomy eyes.
Zed, hidden in the shadows, knew that Norman's own serum, combined with Dr. Connors' Lizard Serum, plus the technological capital Osborn Industries had accumulated over the years, would only result in the Green Goblin Serum.
Although the Green Goblin Serum could cure physical terminal illnesses, it would also bring about mental terminal illnesses. Even the parties involved couldn't say whether it was a loss or a gain.
Under the gaze of Norman and Zed, Spider-Man and Dr. Lizard both fell into the water, and a great battle came to an end.
Norman Osborn didn't linger, immediately calling a helicopter to return to his lab and begin upgrading his life-saving serum.
Zed knew that these guys were in for a long fight. The more they fought, the more they experienced, and the faster Peter would grow, which was beneficial to him.
S.H.I.E.L.D. agents had already arrived near Charlie's old house, beginning their search for Zed.
Another team opened communications in the park:
"Report! The target is not present!"
