Chapter 161 - Chapter 161: The Terrifying Old Self

One person, taking on the entire Spider Alliance alone?

What kind of international joke is this!

Who do you think you are? Superman?

The Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Men from the parallel Worlds have good tempers, but they're not pushovers.

Peter's earlier act of declaring sovereignty had already left them feeling a bit sour inside.

Now, hearing Peter's undisguised contempt for them, that stubborn streak inherent to 'Spider-Man' instantly flared up.

"Dude, even though you are the 'us' from this Universe..."

The most hot-headed Number One Good Neighbor was quick to ignite, already eager to teach Peter a lesson:

"...I think I need to show you the gap between you and us Spider-Men!"

As he spoke, his wrist flicked, and he immediately shot a web straight at Peter's face!

He wanted to teach Peter a lesson, to let this arrogant "Old Self" know that Spider-Man is no soft target!

However, what happened next nearly made the three Good Neighbors' eyes pop out of their sockets.

Facing this lightning-fast attack, Peter didn't even bother to lift a hand.

He just... tilted his head slightly to the side.

The web flew past, missing by a hair's breadth, having no effect on Peter whatsoever.

"I've already given you my advice."

Peter's voice remained calm, as composed as if stating a universally known mathematical formula.

"But if you insist on challenging me..."

"...then I don't mind giving you a little lesson."

The moment his words fell.

*Bzzzt—!!!*

In the minds of the three Good Neighbors, their Spider-Sense screamed a frantic warning!

Extreme danger!

The intense Spider-Sense even gave the three a splitting headache in that instant.

Under the influence of this powerful sensation, the three moved almost instinctively.

Although it was their first time fighting together, their shared Spider-Man combat instincts made their coordination surprisingly seamless!

Number One Good Neighbor let out a low shout and leaped up like a hunting leopard, attempting to suppress Peter through close-quarters combat!

Simultaneously, Number Two Good Neighbor's web-shooters on both wrists fired repeatedly, launching sticky web-balls from all directions to block Peter's dodging space and creating a sticky field on the ground to restrict his movement!

Meanwhile, the somewhat portly but most physically powerful Number Three Spider-Man leaped up, using his webs to attach to the lightning rod atop the Empire State Building.

His body traced a graceful arc through the air, and using the terrifying momentum from the spin, he launched a flying kick powerful enough to bend steel.

Perfect coordination!

A complete lockdown from high, middle, and low!

Such an assault would be enough to instantly incapacitate any supervillain they had faced before.

But facing this seemingly flawless combined attack, Peter's face still wore that unperturbed expression.

Even Gwen and Felicia behind him showed not a trace of worry.

What a joke.

How could three guys, who even their Symbiotes felt little pressure from, possibly pose a threat to Peter?

Sure enough.

The next second, Peter moved.

He didn't retreat; instead, he stepped forward to meet Number One Good Neighbor's fist.

Under the kid's stunned gaze, Peter, swift as lightning, grabbed his punching right wrist.

And then... swung him around directly!

With one hand!

Peter swung Number One Good Neighbor around with one hand, completely using him as his own weapon.

He swung Number One in a circle around himself, precisely using his body to block all the incoming webs.

"Holy shit!"

Number One Good Neighbor had just let out this indignant shout.

Then he discovered, to his horror, that Peter's offensive wasn't over!

After blocking all the webs, Peter's arm suddenly exerted force, hurling the "human weapon" in his hand fiercely towards the rapidly kicking Number Three Good Neighbor!

*Thud!*

A heavy, dull sound rang out.

The two unlucky souls collided mid-air, plummeting together at high speed from the top of the Empire State Building.

This horrifying scene even made the battle-hardened Number Two Good Neighbor freeze for a moment.

What major scene haven't I seen? (Scratch that)

This scene I really haven't seen before!

In that moment of his daze, Peter's figure abruptly vanished from his original spot.

Soru!

An intense Spider-Sense screamed in Number Two's mind again, and he instinctively moved to defend.

But this was clearly futile.

Even Peter's casual punches now, without any special states activated, were more than twice as powerful as a normal Spider-Man's. What could Number Two Good Neighbor possibly use to block it?

His arms, crossed in front of him for protection, were instantly smashed apart, followed by a wave of intense suffocation.

The two Good Neighbors who had just climbed back to the top of the Empire State Building witnessed the scene of Number Two being effortlessly lifted off the ground by Peter, who had him by the neck!

Peter turned his head, looking at the bewildered pair of brothers in misfortune, a 'nuclear-friendly' smile appearing on his face.

"So?"

"Still want to try again?"

The air seemed to freeze at that moment.

How can he be this strong?

He's not even a Spider-Man!

Although their hearts were full of questions, the three did not give up the fight because of it.

On one hand, Spider-Man never admits defeat.

On the other hand, this was their mission!

In their understanding, if they didn't capture Peter and ensure the Web Event was completed smoothly, the entire Universe would collapse!

Thinking of this, Number Two Spider-Man struggled to let out a hoarse roar.

First, he frantically shot webs at Peter's face.

Then, disregarding everything, he used both hands to clamp onto Peter's arm, while his legs used a move similar to 'Old Tree Entwining Roots' to wrap around Peter's waist.

"Quick... go!"

Seeing his desperate state, the other two Good Neighbors couldn't hesitate anymore and immediately charged forward recklessly.

However, before they could even close in, they saw an even more bizarre sight... those webs fired point-blank... actually passed right through this Old Self's body???

It was the Elementalization provided by the Electro Gene.

"I can give you one hand, but you can't shoot me in the face~"

Peter still wore a smiling face, even provocatively curling a finger at the two.

Seeing this, the two gritted their teeth and could only steel themselves to continue charging in to grapple with Peter.

The two used every trick they had, and their coordination was flawless.

But Peter... could still effortlessly deflect all their attacks using only one hand.

When Number Two was choked until his face turned purple and his eyes rolled back, and Number One and Number Three had paid the price of countless bruises, they finally... seized an opportunity!

Number Three Spider-Man imitated Number Two's method, giving Peter a dose of 'man-on-man'.

He forcibly created an opening for Number One's fist to land squarely on Peter's face!

"Haaaaaa—!"

Number One Good Neighbor let out a furious roar, channeling all his strength into his right fist!

A powerful "Face-Shattering Fist", carrying enough force to tear through the air with a sonic boom, smashed viciously towards Peter's face!

He was convinced this punch was enough to KO this outrageously arrogant "Old Self"!

However, reality was... the fist, solidly connected.

But Peter... forget being sent flying, he didn't even sway a bit!

His face took on a dark, metallic-like sheen, perfectly blocking the damage from the punch.

It was Armament Haki!
