Seeing Mary Jane rescued by Harry, Peter finally felt a bit of relief.
But his speed didn't slow—if anything, he moved even faster.
Because he knew Harry was absolutely no match for the Black Symbiote.
And with the Symbiote's vicious nature, one mistake and both Harry and Mary Jane could die.
Even though the Bully Spider-Man and Harry had fought bitterly and nearly turned into enemies, Peter could clearly feel the emotions coming from the Bully Spider-Man's side:
He didn't want Harry to die.
Deep down, he actually wanted to fix their relationship.
The Bully Spider-Man didn't have many friends to begin with. Harry was one of the very few—and the closest. He truly cherished that friendship.
If Harry hadn't gone too far before, and if not for the Symbiote's influence, the Bully Spider-Man would never have gone as far as disfiguring him and nearly killing him.
As for Mary Jane—although she had done things that hurt him, the Bully Spider-Man still loved her wholeheartedly and naturally didn't want her in danger.
"I knew you'd come!"
Just as Peter was about to strike the Black Symbiote, the creature suddenly turned, grabbed Peter's hands with both of its own, and let out a twisted grin.
"Great… I actually got influenced by him," Peter cursed inwardly, helpless.
Just moments ago, he had suddenly acted impulsively—charging down like he'd lost his mind—because of the Bully Spider-Man's emotions bleeding into his own.
This was… not great.
Bang!
Peter was slammed into the ground repeatedly, hard enough to make the entire ground tremble.
He tried to break free, but the Symbiote's arms turned into countless sticky streams, wrapping around him layer by layer.
Despite all his strength—tens of tons—he couldn't break free.
The impact wasn't enough to seriously injure Spider-Man, but for some reason his back throbbed faintly…
He wanted to extract memories from the Bully Spider-Man's side to figure out what happened, but he worried about being influenced again. Earlier, he had already muted part of the Bully Spider-Man's emotions.
If before they were at a fifty–fifty balance, then now it was more like seventy–thirty.
Peter held the dominant control.
That wasn't important now. Escaping this thing was.
Just then, Sandman descended from above.
The Black Symbiote paused, tightening its bind around Peter. "Now you're dead, Parker!"
Boom!
A burst of flowing sand surged forward.
But its target wasn't Peter—it was the Symbiote.
The Symbiote hadn't expected an ambush from an "ally" and was blasted away.
Peter seized the moment, leaping back several times before landing. He tilted his head at Sandman, confused.
The airborne sand fell and rapidly formed a human shape. A face emerged, speaking to Peter:
"Thank you for giving me a way to make money without committing crimes."
"Uh…" Peter froze. That comment he made earlier wasn't advice—it was sarcasm about Sandman's ignorance while sitting on a gold mine.
Sandman continued, "I'm sorry about your uncle. My daughter is seriously ill, and I needed a lot of money for treatment. I had no other skills, so I resorted to robbery. That day was my first time."
"Your uncle blocked my way, tried to convince me to turn back. But I was too nervous. When Carradine shouted at me, he pushed me, and the gun went off…"
"No matter what you think—whether you want to kill me for revenge or something else—I just want to say: I'm sorry. Truly sorry."
As Sandman began speaking, Peter felt the Bully Spider-Man's side knocking violently, demanding to take over.
So Peter let go.
Now, the Bully Spider-Man took full control.
Peter pulled himself into a mental corner, minimizing his influence.
Because he knew—This was the Bully Spider-Man's lifelong knot.
No one else had the right to make this decision for him.
Only he could.
The Bully Spider-Man stared at Sandman for a long time before forcing out the words:
"I forgive you."
And with that, he felt something inside him finally release.
He retreated, allowing Peter to regain control.
Peter didn't resist—he returned to normal.
Because the Black Symbiote had returned as well.
"You betrayed me!" the Symbiote roared at Sandman, furious at his attack.
"We were only temporarily cooperating. I never said I was on your side," Sandman replied disdainfully.
Just then, a sharp whooshing sound came from above. Harry, riding his glider, returned to the battlefield.
Mary Jane was nowhere to be seen—Harry must have taken her somewhere safe.
Now Peter, Harry, and Sandman surrounded the Black Symbiote, forming a perfect three-point encirclement.
"You really think you can beat me?" the Symbiote laughed as its body began stretching taller and taller.
"Harry—its weakness is sound!" Peter shouted.
Harry narrowed his eyes. He wanted to ignore Peter, but his body responded instinctively.
He extended the wrist-blades on his armguards and scraped them hard—
Screech—!
A shower of sparks broke out, followed by a piercing metallic shriek.
"AAAHHH!"
The Black Symbiote screamed as its stretching form shrank violently.
Seeing this, Sandman spun countless grains of sand, producing a grinding noise.
His heart was full of guilt toward the Bully Spider-Man. After being forgiven—by the very person whose uncle he had indirectly killed—that guilt only deepened.
So now, he wanted to help Peter defeat this creature more than anything.
The sand's grinding noise wasn't as effective as metal scraping—likely due to frequency differences.
But Sandman controlled much more material, giving him a larger coverage area.
Peter ran into a half-finished building nearby, found a pile of metal pipes, and began planting them into the ground around the Symbiote one by one.
The Symbiote was gradually adapting to Sandman's noise, and it noticed Peter's actions. It tried to escape before the formation closed.
But Peter was faster—every time the Symbiote tried to charge out, a metal pipe slammed into the ground in front of it.
The vibration from each impact was one of the most unbearable sensations in the world to the Symbiote.
Each time it approached one, it reflexively recoiled.
Bit by bit, the metal pipes formed a complete ring around it.
