Gwen carefully placed Leon on the ground and asked with concern:
"What happened? Why did you suddenly fall from the sky?"
Leon displayed exquisite acting skills. Using Six Eyes' precise control over his body, his expression and physical details were flawless:
"No—why did my mutant abilities suddenly disappear!"
The Prowler in the distance laughed loudly hearing Leon's helpless words.
"Hahaha! You didn't expect we purchased a mutant suppression device secretly developed by the military. Your mutant abilities will be suppressed for at least an hour!
During this hour, you're no different from ordinary people. One bullet can kill you!
And I, the Prowler, will be the one who kills the demon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Prowler became a blur and rushed toward Leon at high speed, but was intercepted by Gwen.
Seeing Spider-Woman blocking him, Prowler said with cold expression:
"Spider-Woman again! This time I'll kill you and the White Devil simultaneously!"
Next moment, they fought. No winner emerged briefly, but that was temporary. Several figures in the distance rushed toward them at high speed—should be Kingpin's men as well.
Leon saw familiar figures among them:
Super-villain Tombstone with invulnerability and body-heating abilities; super-villain Scorpion wearing high-tech armor like the Prowler; and female Doctor Octopus with four high-tech mechanical tentacles welded behind her!
Gwen also spotted the three super-villains approaching. She kicked the Prowler away, used webbing to wrap him around a streetlight, then grabbed Leon and fled while swinging on web-lines.
"How long until you recover?"
Spider-Woman tried losing the super-villains behind her, but needed avoiding gunfire from suddenly appearing gang members—so couldn't maintain distance. They grew closer instead.
Hearing Gwen's words, Leon smiled nonchalantly:
"I don't know... Probably a while, but may be restored the next moment!"
Hearing Leon's unreasonable words, Gwen was so angry she considered leaving the White Devil behind. However, remembering he'd saved her, kind-hearted Gwen still didn't.
She said angrily:
"Can you be serious? If they catch up, you'll be dead!"
Leon was somewhat innocent:
"What I said is true!"
The mutant suppression device could only suppress Leon's abilities as a mutant. Except Energy Absorption, other abilities hadn't disappeared and could still be used.
And Energy Absorption was also recovering at extremely fast speed—would be fully restored in about five minutes, far less than the hour Prowler claimed.
So what he told Gwen wasn't wrong. He could use his abilities anytime. Didn't this mean he could recover anytime?
Of course, kind-hearted Gwen didn't know she was being teased by the hateful white-haired man. She had no extra energy communicating with Leon now—all the villains were chasing her.
Snap!
The Prowler broke free from webbing restraints with his companions' help. Being fastest, he caught up and used a throwing knife to cut Spider-Woman's web-line—causing Leon and Gwen to fall to the ground, surrounded by numerous super-villains.
Seeing so many super-villains, Gwen suddenly felt tremendous pressure, but remained optimistic:
"Oh, the situation's very bad. I don't know what to do..."
Leon, held in Gwen's arms, cheered:
"Believe in yourself—you can do it!
If not, I've still got you covered!"
Before Gwen could respond, Prowler mocked:
"White Devil—losing your mutant abilities, you can barely protect yourself. Still want protecting others?
You can't protect anything!"
Scorpion, wrapped in exoskeleton armor, looked at Leon mockingly:
"This is the White Devil? Nothing special!
Little Spider, white-haired boy—time to die!"
Several mechanical limbs from Scorpion's lower body extended simultaneously, then rushed toward Leon and Gwen.
The tail stinger behind him raised and stabbed toward Gwen suddenly, attempting to kill them both together!
Just as Gwen evaded Scorpion's tail stinger attack, she was struck by Doctor Octopus's mechanical tentacles and launched away. Leon, whom she'd been holding, was also knocked away—separated from her.
Leon used ordinary human physical strength to land smoothly, then immediately stood and looked toward the distant sky. In Six Eyes' sight, a helicopter had been hovering 10 kilometers away.
At that distance, even with Level 3 Six Eyes vision, he could only see blurry shadows. If Leon hadn't intuitively sensed being monitored by the distant aircraft, he might not have detected it at all.
Leon gradually grew impatient. The helicopter had stayed there for extended time—high probability it wouldn't come closer...
Gwen, attacked by several super-villains from a distance, was at absolute disadvantage and unable to protect Leon.
The Prowler approached Leon and smiled viciously:
"The arrogant White Devil will die here. I think today will be the fourth world-shocking news!"
Seeing Leon didn't even regard him seriously but looked far away, this feeling of being ignored made Prowler extremely angry.
"How arrogant! But that's better. Your screams will make me happier later!"
The Prowler rushed toward Leon, but before getting close, Gwen appeared again and stood before Leon.
"Maybe you won't get the chance to kill him!"
Looking at Gwen's injuries, the Prowler showed a cruel smile:
"No—you'll both die here!"
Purple light flashed under the Prowler's feet. His already amazing speed increased again, rushing toward them.
Gwen wanted to pull Leon to dodge, but previous injuries suddenly flared up. Her body froze momentarily. In that delay, the Prowler appeared before her and stabbed toward her abdomen with sharp claws:
"Die!"
The claws were too close to Gwen. Even with Spider-Woman's agility, dodging was impossible.
Gwen could only watch the claws approach, about to pierce her abdomen, then kill her and the White Devil together...
But at that moment, Gwen suddenly felt her vision blur. She found a tall figure blocking her path, then heard an impatient magnetic voice ahead:
"Seems it won't get closer... Boring. Wasted my time!"
Then Gwen saw the white-haired man who'd suddenly appeared extend his hand forward—the Prowler's body immediately stopped before him!
The white-haired man gently waved his arm. Strong repulsive force burst out. Everything ahead, including the Prowler's body, was blown away by tremendous force.
Gwen stared blankly at the Prowler who'd been crushed to paste by tremendous force, looking at the fan-shaped ruins dozens of meters long before her. She swallowed unconsciously, finally hearing the man before her muttering:
"Tsk, tsk. Are Kingpin and the helicopter starting to escape?
This won't do. Seems I'll have to speed up dealing with these people!"
