Peter chose not to overthink the current problem and focused on dealing with the enemy in front of him. Without a doubt, the opponent was prepared, as evidenced by how they managed to interfere with his Spider-Sense.
Crucially, they were currently inside the Daily Bugle building, and fighting here would cause severe collateral damage. With this in mind, Peter quickly sprinted forward, rushing at the opponent, intending to leap and tackle the Green Goblin to carry him out of the Daily Bugle building.
The Green Goblin's reaction was—no reaction at all. When Peter tackled him, he didn't even budge. The powerful thrust from the gliders under his feet counteracted Spider-Man's impact, and the Green Goblin's inherent strength and armor cushioning left him completely unharmed.
Peter could even see the Green Goblin's smile.
"You want to take me outside. You want to protect these people. I must say, your actions are too predictable, Spider-Man."
The Green Goblin spoke while activating intense ultrasonic waves from his glider. The high-frequency sound waves made Peter take two steps back, painfully covering his ears as the symbiote on his body began to writhe. The Green Goblin smiled: "You see, I know everything about you. I know how much you rely on your symbiote suit, and I also figured out how to deal with you."
"You're right... Green Goblin..."
Peter looked distressed and strained, only able to watch as the Green Goblin pulled out a Pumpkin Bomb, and then...
And then three powerful lasers struck the Green Goblin's chest plate, knocking him off his glider and sending him into a freefall hundreds of meters toward the ground.
Peter deactivated the Iron Spider suit's mimicry: "So what? I intentionally wore a couple of extra layers. What do you think? Can't even tell if someone's wearing metal underneath their suit?"
"Hahaha, you are truly interesting, Spider-Man!"
The Green Goblin spread wings, similar to the Vulture's but more slender, and flew up from below. Peter paused for a moment, looking at the glider that was automatically flying toward the Green Goblin.
"Why... why do you have wings when you already have a glider? Never mind, I won't complain."
There was no time to complain. The Green Goblin's glider continuously fired missiles. The three metallic arms on the back of the Iron Spider suit constantly fired beams to intercept the missiles, and the Iron Spider suit pushed forward with maximum thrust. This time, it finally slammed into the Green Goblin. The two simultaneously went into a freefall, battling each other in mid-air.
The Iron Spider's claws first pierced a section of the Green Goblin's armor, and then the Green Goblin tore the claw off with a yank. Peter retaliated immediately with a punch to the opponent's mask lens, cracking the eyepiece. The opponent, completely unconcerned, clamped onto the Iron Spider's faceplate and ripped it off.
Finally, the two simultaneously crashed onto the ground. Confused citizens, seeing something fall, quickly scattered. When the dust cleared, the citizens looked confusedly toward the center of the battleground and saw a Green Goblin with slightly damaged armor but otherwise unharmed, and a Spider-Man getting up, his Iron Spider suit shredded and exposing a suit underneath that shimmered with blue circuitry.
Hmm? A suit shimmering with blue circuitry?
"I told you, I wore a couple of extra layers!"
Without a moment to mourn the collapse of the Iron Spider suit, the suit that immediately rushed to the battlefield was the Speed Suit!
At a speed of several times the speed of sound, the Green Goblin took punch after punch. He couldn't see Spider-Man at all, only feeling the continuous sonic booms surrounding him. Undoubtedly, the current Green Goblin couldn't catch Spider-Man's speed. The Iron Spider suit had provided the Speed Suit with sufficient energy, and supported by the Arc Reactor, Spider-Man maintained his maximum speed. Relying on his own strength plus the speed overlay, he temporarily beat the Green Goblin into the ground.
First, a heavy punch landed on his chin, causing blood to immediately spill from his mouth. Then, the armor on his chest was violently torn open, followed by another punch to his left cheek. The Green Goblin found himself completely unable to parry or evade Spider-Man's attacks.
Fortunately, he had a little helper.
The glider fired a series of Pumpkin Bombs at the ground. The high temperature, enough to incinerate a human body, covered the area around the Green Goblin. Spider-Man had to dodge away from him. It was this moment that allowed the concussion grenade launched from the glider to successfully detonate in the area just outside the Green Goblin, the shockwave catching the high-speed Spider-Man and interrupting his high-speed movement state.
"I have records of every one of your suits. I have documentation of every one of your abilities and data. I have a complete profile on you—your personality, your powers, everything about you, Spider-Man."
The Green Goblin stepped out of the flames, grabbed Peter's head, lifted him up, and revealed a sinister grin: "And you know nothing about me. Do you think I'm the same as those ordinary Goblins and inferior Green Goblins? Don't forget, Norman is special! He became the Green Goblin not through the Green Goblin serum, but the Erskine Serum and Gamma Radiation! That is the Green Goblin!"
"I am the perfect super soldier! The product of Hulk's strength and Captain America's perfect evolution!"
"You say you know everything about me, so first, why don't you know my name?"
The Green Goblin, who was grasping Spider-Man's head, suddenly froze. He then meticulously searched his database and found that he truly had no record of Spider-Man's name.
"Wha... why don't I know Spider-Man's name?!"
The Green Goblin realized this was true. He quickly scanned his programming and surprisingly found an auto-looping directive set by Norman Osborn for the AI Green Goblin, which deleted all of Spider-Man's true personal information from the database.
This directive was actually encrypted with true random numbers!
"And, do you know that this suit has an emergency exit function?"
The Green Goblin's brain momentarily went into a system crash. Next, he found the black-suited Spider-Man detaching from the Speed Suit, leaving him only with the uniform containing the Arc Reactor. Then, the Arc Reactor instantly overloaded, and a massive explosion engulfed him.
The Green Goblin was blasted, his face covered in blood, but he walked out completely unconcerned. As he said, as Norman's clone, he could subject this body to the original Green Goblin's experiment: the Erskine Serum plus Gamma Radiation.
He was the perfect combination of Captain America and a small-scale Hulk.
Not only that, the Green Goblin smiled.
"And, your next line is, your symbiote suit can't help you, Spider-Man!"
"Your symbiote can't help you, Spider-Man!"
The Green Goblin cackled and activated the ultrasonic device in the glider floating in mid-air, but then he froze. Spider-Man had stuck webbing onto him and then unleashed a full-power bio-electric discharge.
"Want to know how to avoid having your symbiote suit targeted, Green Goblin?"
"Just don't wear it."
