"Asshole! Spider-Man… and Ryuuto! You two again!"
Professor Connors' bulging eyes widened in fury the moment he saw them. A surge of monstrous anger tore through his body, shaking him violently. His crimson pupils blazed with hatred, teeth clenched in a feral snarl:
"You dare sabotage my plan!? Unforgivable! I swear, Connors will make you pay a terrifying price, you little pests!"
"Captain! You're finally awake! That's perfect!"
Scott and Steel, still reeling from their earlier injuries, suddenly found hope again at Ryuuto's arrival. Their hearts surged, the shadow of despair lifted in an instant.
Ryuuto gave a solemn nod toward Scott and Steel.
"Now, leave this hopeless monster to Gwen and me. We'll clean this up."
"Yes! His conspiracy ends here!"
Gwen's eyes flashed with fierce determination. Her hands gripped the rocket containing the cursed lizard gene serum, pulling it down with cobwebbing precision.
Connors' face twisted red with rage. His mind couldn't process the audacity—this was annihilation in action.
"I'll kill you!" he bellowed, his claws flaring. The mutant lizard warriors, eyes burning scarlet, surged forward in a bloodthirsty tide. Connors clawed desperately at the cobweb restraining the rocket, intent on spreading his artificial rain of lizard genes across all of New York.
"Dream, you filthy lizard!"
Ryuuto moved like a shadow. Shadow Clone Technique! Over twenty duplicates burst forth, a glittering swarm of menace racing toward Connors. Gwen gritted her teeth, pulling the rocket forcefully to the ground.
Leaf Great Whirlwind!
Ryuuto launched a perfectly timed 360-degree kick in midair. His strike slammed Connors' massive lizard head into the hard floor, a sickening crack echoing as he spat bitter blood. Connors collapsed like a cannonball, creating a crater beneath him, unable to rise.
Without missing a beat, Ryuuto seized the rocket, spinning it in a flawless discus throw stance—an action straight out of an anime epic.
"Ryuuto… you're amazing!"
Gwen released her cobweb, a smile of relief breaking across her face. She dove into the fray, fists and feet moving like a storm, knocking mutant lizard warriors down one by one.
"No! Stop it!" Connors screeched, struggling to stand. Fear clawed at him as he realized the depths of his defeat. His body trembled violently, yet he lunged forward, desperate to take Ryuuto alive.
"Connors, your reign ends here! A villain like you can never win!" Ryuuto said with a sly grin, completely ignoring the reptile's futile claws.
With a flick of his fingers, he flung the rocket skyward. His hands moved in rapid mudras, afterimages blurring, leaving Scott and Steel dumbstruck.
Dust Escape! Original World Stripping Technique!
The rocket and its lizard gene payload atomized into countless particles, completely erased from existence.
"No! What did you do!?" Connors' pupils constricted in horror. He clawed at his head, unable to comprehend the cruel reality.
"Pathetic lizard, thinking you could win?" Ryuuto raised a lazy finger, surveying Connors with amused disdain. He glanced at Gwen, smirking.
"Gwen, this one's all yours. Don't hold back—teach him so he can't squeal again!"
"Got it!" Gwen nodded, her resolve unshakable. Connors' crazed appearance did little to intimidate her.
"Don't worry, I've got him," Ryuuto added confidently. "If he tries any trick, I'll end it in a flash. No way he survives."
"Connors, your opponent is me! Remember the name—Spider-Man!" Gwen shot forward, her cobwebs tangling Connors' hands and feet, freezing him mid-struggle.
Ryuuto landed beside Scott and Steel, offering a calm, reassuring smile.
"You two okay?"
"We're fine! Captain, thanks to you, we survived!" Scott said, relief flooding his voice.
"Good. Now, I'll make sure you're truly safe."
With effortless precision, Ryuuto tended to both Scott and Steel, assessing injuries. He tilted his head, smirking:
"Well… should I use Tsunade's medical ninjutsu, or summon Katsuyu for the healing? Decisions, decisions…"
Steel and Scott could only blink in bewilderment at their captain's casual, almost playful attitude, wondering just how ridiculously overpowered he truly was.
