*****
Covered in burning blue flames, Gwen walked step by step toward Justin Hammer. A mountain-like pressure fell upon Justin Hammer, making him subconsciously move his feet backward.
He was now terrified to the extreme.
He watched as the red threads he controlled instantly vanished upon contacting Gwen's blue flames.
"What in the world is this? What is it!?"
He cried out in terror, retreating step by step, and accompanying his terrified screams, the red threads he controlled surged toward Gwen like a tide.
"So powerful, so scary!"
Gwen murmured, but the blue flames, like roaring behemoths, ignited all the threads.
"Stop her! Stop her!"
Justin Hammer screamed in panic, but no matter how many threads he summoned, they were all in vain under the scorching of the blue flames.
The flames spread, seemingly ready to devour the entire space.
Gwen looked up briefly and raised her hand.
The next instant, all the flames created by burning the soul threads furiously rushed toward Gwen's palm, like a vortex of fire, churning everything within the base.
"No, stop!"
Justin Hammer, like a ball of yarn, was caught and dragged by the fire vortex right in front of Gwen.
Gwen gripped Justin Hammer's neck with one hand, and the blue fire vortex spun rapidly in her eyes.
"Help! Save me!"
Justin Hammer screamed in terror.
Gwen was stunned for a moment.
Help?
She had never seen such a cowardly supervillain.
But since the guy had the audacity to create these dolls and attempt to harm the children who bought them, the end he deserved was...
"Feel their pain!"
Along with Gwen's whisper, the Eye of Judgment quietly activated.
The screaming Justin Hammer instantly fell silent, but his soul was enduring unbearable pain, even turning completely into ash and dissipating within a short time.
Although his plan was accidentally discovered by Gwen and stopped with the fastest possible speed, quite a few children had already been harmed before today.
This was a sin, a crime, and Justin Hammer had to experience it.
But clearly, he was not a person of strong will or powerful soul.
Releasing Justin Hammer's corpse, Gwen curled her lip.
He was too weak.
But...
"You are such a loser."
Gwen complained to Tony, but Tony ignored her, immediately summoning his armor and beginning to clear the images and information released by Justin Hammer.
"Bastard! How could I possibly endorse this disgusting thing?"
"Why would I need an endorsement?"
"F*k! F*k!"
Seeing the massive volume of views and comments, Tony couldn't help but curse aloud.
"I have something to attend to, I'm leaving this place to you!"
Tony said quickly and urgently. His armor blasted flames, rushing rapidly outwards.
He had to quickly clean up those comments and images, issue a clarification statement under his own name as soon as possible, take control of those bizarre dolls, and then destroy them immediately.
Gwen put on her mask, and the blue flames covering her body subsequently vanished.
She let out a soft sigh: "Poor Tony."
It looked like Stark would be busy for a while again.
Suddenly, she turned and looked at Peter, saying anxiously: "Hurry! Check if Tony's endorsement photos are still there!"
Peter was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Don't worry, Mr. Stark will clean it up completely, he won't..."
Gwen rubbed her forehead, saying helplessly: "I'm not saying he won't clean it up, I'm saying we can collect the photos and keep them as souvenirs."
It wasn't easy to see Tony embarrass himself even once...
Peter paused, mumbling: "That truly is a great souvenir."
"Hm?"
Just then, Gwen suddenly felt a familiar power.
Startled slightly, she gasped: "Mephisto?"
"What Mephisto?"
Peter looked at Gwen doubtfully.
Gwen's expression turned serious; blue flames instantly erupted, and she transformed again.
Peter was startled and became vigilant too.
Although he didn't know who Mephisto was, judging by Gwen's appearance... it must be an enemy!
The next second, Peter's Spider-Sense sounded an alarm.
Danger!
Peter immediately blocked Gwen, waving his hand to shoot out bullet-like web pellets.
"Wow! You actually managed to discover me early."
"It's because you stink!"
Gwen said coldly, stamping her foot, and blue flames spread out like a carpet.
Peter jumped in surprise, then breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his foot hadn't been incinerated.
In the future, he absolutely must not make Gwen angry.
Otherwise, she would turn him into dust and scatter him, the kind that wouldn't leave a single trace.
The carpet of blue flames continued to spread, covering the floor of the entire underground base, but not far from where Gwen was staring, a space the size of one person stood empty, as if two smudges had appeared on a fine carpet.
No person was visible, but there were... footprints?
Peter froze, aimed his hands, and shot out a web.
The web flew past without obstruction, and a faint silhouette composed of energy quietly appeared.
"Little friend, is this your unique way of saying hello?"
Mephisto smiled faintly, his body, formed by energy, becoming increasingly solid.
He glanced at Peter and suddenly curled his lips: "Peter Parker, interested in signing a contract with me?"
Peter was slightly stunned.
A contract?
Gwen's expression turned cold. The blue flames on the ground fiercely rushed toward Mephisto, enveloping him.
Mephisto spread his hands, his face full of innocence.
"As a girl, don't have such a temper, or no one will want you."
"I do!"
Peter shouted without hesitation.
Mephisto: "..."
Gwen smiled faintly and said coldly to Mephisto: "So, all these things that idiot created were instructed by you behind the scenes?"
"Instructed?" Mephisto looked astonished, saying with a face full of innocence: "No, you mustn't wrongfully accuse me."
With a soft laugh, Mephisto slowly said: "I have many contractees like him."
He had only sensed a familiar power through Justin Hammer, which was why he specifically appeared to say hello. Otherwise, he wouldn't care about just an ordinary contractee.
Familiar power...
That was his power.
His gaze toward Gwen turned dark and profound, but in the blink of an eye, it became bright and cheerful again.
"My girl, my power, are you used to using it? Shall I teach you how to use it better? Perhaps to make this boy beside you like you even more?"
Hearing this, Peter was startled, and the firelight in Gwen's eyes violently pulsed.
"Bastard!"
She shouted softly, and the flames on the ground engulfed Mephisto's energy clone.
Mephisto smiled faintly: "We will meet again. When that time comes, it will be when I take back my power, and the Kent family meets its demise."
As his voice fell, Mephisto's energy clone was consumed, and the entire underground space returned to calm once more.
