[We have to dispose of the evidence!]
"What do you mean?"
Emma was standing on the rooftop, her entire body covered in blood, especially around her mouth.
[That syringe, I can sense someone is examining it.]
"Is it dangerous?"
[Depends, but destroy it just to be safe. If they analyze its formula, the whole world will go chaotic! My papa wouldn't like that...]
"...You have a father?"
[Too lazy to explain right now, go dispose of it~]
So afterward, she tracked the scent of the syringe and found out it was at the police headquarters.
[Kill them all, they've learned too much already!]
"..."
So she burned down the entire headquarters. Of course, she felt no guilt.
After all, from what she remembered, her neighbors had once called the police when her father was abusing her, and naturally, the police ignored it. Her neighbors were threatened by her father and forced to move away.
No one had ever been good to her, so why should she care?
Surprisingly, she also spotted Peter and Gwen outside the headquarters.
[Be careful, I can sense that guy and girl are really strong!]
"...For real?"
[Of course, don't you trust me?]
She then used all her strength to flee, and Peter caught a glimpse of her silhouette before shooting a web to get a closer look.
"...No way, Peter is Ghost Spider? I thought that person was a girl?"
But thanks to that, she learned more about Peter. Maybe he had even more secrets than she thought.
...Some time later, the sports festival was held.
[So the day has finally come, huh?]
"...Yeah, I don't think I can hold back anymore."
She wiped the blood from her mouth, looking at her victim lying on the ground.
They were innocent people, completely unrelated.
Just unlucky that she was hungry.
"They're just strangers anyway, not worth caring about."
[You're becoming more and more vicious~]
She gazed at the school, looking at the students from her school.
[...Do you hate them?]
"...Yes, I hate them. They made my school life hell. I'd regret it if I didn't kill them with my own hands."
[Then what are you waiting for? This is the perfect opportunity...]
That voice laughed.
[Massacre them all, then take Peter for yourself. After all, he's strong enough to survive a barrage of bullets, right?]
"...Pfft, Hahaha."
She laughed, her red eyes growing increasingly unstable.
"You're right. Just kill them all. I can't wait to see their parents crying in agony, and Peter... He'll be inside me forever."
And so... Everything happened just like that.
"..."
I looked at her, the one who seemed to be enjoying watching my expression.
"...You're beyond saving, and you're insane too."
"What? Disappointed?"
"Yeah, extremely, extremely disappointed. Even though I said I wouldn't forgive you, I was hoping you had some reason for massacring everyone..." I touched my forehead, my face visibly twisting before calming down.
"Even if I was raped by my own father?"
"You say it like you're the only victim." I adjusted my glasses, and the lenses glinted.
"So, are you going to kill me?" Emma tilted her head.
I stared straight at her, my fists clenched.
"No, you're going to prison."
"Oh, how kind."
"But I know you're the type that's hard to deal with, so I didn't invite you here for no reason..." I suddenly shot a web up to the ceiling.
"...?"
Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes tightly to think about the past.
The first time I met Emma, when we became close, when we went to the beach together.
It was fun... But I had to set it aside now.
"Before deciding to message you, I thought about it a lot before making a move against you, always asking myself if this was right..."
"But maybe my efforts weren't in vain, even if this isn't the path I wanted."
I yanked hard on my web, and immediately a series of loud noises erupted at once, making Emma's eyes widen.
The walls from all four sides of the room shattered, revealing a bunch of bombs placed all over the room.
"This is—"
"Consider it payback for what you did to me that day, Emma." I adjusted my glasses again, then kicked the window hard and jumped out.
And pulled hard on another web.
The bombs then lit up, catching Emma off guard.
BOOM!!!!
The entire room billowed smoke out the window after the explosion. I shot a web to swing back into the classroom.
Landing on my feet, I looked around.
As expected, Emma was still alive. The explosion only burned her badly.
"That hurt, Peter." Emma moved one arm, wiping her face to brush off the dust.
I shot even more webs, this time firing them past Emma's face.
"?!"
Immediately after, large chunks of wall were pulled in and slammed straight into her, then swung at her like the weapon of some war god.
The dust from those wall chunks made it really hard for her to see, so Emma was forced to jump high.
"?!!"
She realized she couldn't jump and looked down, seeing her legs already wrapped in webs.
"Since when—"
"Right before the bombs went off!!" I charged forward, shooting webs at her, wrapping her up like a cocoon, spinning once, and throwing her straight out of the classroom.
After throwing her into the hallway, as she broke free from the webs, she saw webs everywhere, covering every spot.
"...You really want to go all out with me, huh, Peter?"
"Yeah, I'm not letting you escape. Not on my watch."
She tried to stand, but the webs everywhere stuck like glue. She could only cut them with a knife.
The problem was, she only had one arm, and that arm was covered in so much web that she could barely reach her meat cleaver.
Suddenly, a strange smell hit her nose directly, making her eyes widen.
"This is?" She looked around and noticed a strange, damp smoke appearing from somewhere.
"C12H14N2"
"!!"
That was the chemical formula for the herbicide Paraquat!
"How? Did you buy it on the black market?"
"No, I just bought some stuff and synthesized Paraquat myself, then diluted it. These things are pretty easy, after all."
"...Impressive. Looks like I still underestimated you a bit. If I were a normal person, this would actually kill me."
"You're not going to die." I narrowed my eyes at her.
"You really prepared thoroughly... Fine, so I don't let you down..."
Immediately, Emma's muscles bulged, her red eyes glowing brightly.
"I'll play with you properly before the two of us become one!"
Peter Parker vs Emma the Butcher!!
