New York.
The most central and bustling modern urban area!
A colossal blue light beam shot up into the sky, forcefully tearing open a black hole like an abyss in the firmament. From the darkness that seemed to lead to the deepest parts of the universe, dense flying objects continuously spewed forth!
Boom boom boom!!!
Explosions, like the thunder of a massive storm, continuously echoed everywhere. Unknown terror had descended upon this city without warning!
Buzz—
Dozens of mysterious black dots rapidly approached Times Square. Among them, one black dot was precisely targeting the mall building where Vincent was located!
Vincent opened his eyes in alarm. The mysterious black dot grew larger and larger in his vision as it approached from a distance.
When it got within half a kilometer, he could see it was a flying vehicle resembling a jet ski. Although the tall being piloting the vehicle was unclear, it was definitely not human; its entire body reflected a cold, metallic sheen under the sunlight!
Before the unknown flying vehicle had even fully entered the airspace above the pedestrian street, a dazzling, scorching fire shot from its front, dragging a terrifying tail of flame as it first rushed towards the building!
"Be careful!!"
Vincent reacted quickly enough, immediately embracing Gwen, his childhood friend, and forcefully falling backward onto the ground.
At the same time, a powerful and terrifying explosion of airwaves and impact energy erupted on the outer wall between the third and fourth floors of the building. The window glass on those floors instantly shattered, along with the seemingly hard reinforced concrete outer wall. Even the floor slab at the edge of the fourth floor rumbled and collapsed downwards!
Bang!!
The airwaves, carrying shattered architectural debris, swept inward. Fire began to burn in the massive hole on the front of the building, and thick black smoke rapidly filled the interior space of the mall.
"Cough cough..., Gwen, are you alright?"
Vincent, still suffering from ringing in his ears and lying on the ground, coughed a few times. The nearby floor in front of him had already collapsed, leaving him feeling as if he were on the edge of a cliff.
But he couldn't worry about that anymore.
Just now.
When Vincent tackled Gwen to the ground, the young girl in his arms suddenly twisted her body, acting as a human shield and protecting Vincent's back with her soft body.
So Vincent himself was not injured.
He anxiously got up and looked around. The thick smoke only allowed him to see objects within two meters, and Gwen's figure was nowhere to be seen within his visual range... No way.
Vincent's heart gave a sudden jolt.
Thump thump!
Just then, a tall figure leaped in from outside the mall building, landing on the fourth-floor slab not far from Vincent, emitting a heavy metallic sound!
First, two emotionless red pupils emerged from the smoke, and then, a nearly two-meter-tall, metal-constructed alien robot walked out, gripping an energy weapon unlike anything from Earth civilization. Its eyes continuously rotated, scanning, locking onto the humans inside the mall like a killing machine.
"You bastard!" Vincent's eyes turned slightly red, and he immediately charged towards the alien robot.
His left hand clenched into a fist, and the Guardian Silver Bracelet, hidden by his sleeve, glowed a hot red, responding to its master's anger and awakening with shimmering divine light!
But one figure moved faster than Vincent!
Just as the alien robot and Vincent were about to collide, with her golden short hair and uniform skirt fluttering, the young girl forcefully inserted herself between Vincent and the alien robot, and reached out to grab the alien robot's metal arm!
Bang!!
The young girl, just over one point six meters tall, executed an over-the-shoulder throw, slamming the opponent to the ground with such force that clear cracks appeared on the floor. She agilely leaped two meters high, and as her body fell, her fair, tender fist violently struck the alien robot's face.
Click click!
The entire mechanical head, composed of circuits, parts, and chips, exploded with chaotic currents and flashing sparks!
"Gwen?!" Vincent stared blankly at the young girl. The force of that punch must have been in the ton range or even higher... Was this Gwen?
Was this the childhood friend who occasionally needed him to twist open her drink bottle caps?
It must be a lie!
While Vincent was still in a daze, Gwen, having dealt with one alien robot, pulled his hand and plunged into the smoke-filled interior of the mall!
Inside and outside the mall building, there were screams and wails, a tragic scene transformed into a living hell. There were clearly more than one alien entity invading; there were dozens, even hundreds, just in the plaza area!
...Gwen pulled Vincent into an empty clothing store and quickly found a changing room, taking Vincent into the narrow, isolated single changing cubicle.
Gwen unzipped the backpack she always carried, and after opening the hidden compartment, as Vincent expected, a very familiar, black-and-white Spider-Woman suit lay inside!
So, the Spider-Woman that night was—
Gwen.
Vincent understood everything, but before he could speak, Gwen suddenly grabbed the hem of her uniform with both hands and pulled it up, taking it off—
The young girl's upper body was well-developed and curvaceous, from her fair, snow-white neck down to her abs with a visible V-line, displaying graceful and strong muscle definition.
Most importantly, the young girl wasn't wearing anything else underneath; her snow-white and slender body was almost completely exposed!
No.
Vincent also saw two ordinary band-aids, but far from covering anything, they made the already well-developed Gwen exude an unprecedented sexiness.
What a good brother.
"Aren't you going to turn around?" Just as she was about to take off the rest of her skirt, Gwen suddenly seemed to realize, glared at Vincent, blushing, and said with bitten lips.
Hmm, that just made it even sexier.
Vincent turned around without hesitation; this situation was indeed not the time for appreciation.
Rustling sounds came from behind him, and soon, Gwen indicated that she had finished changing.
Vincent looked back, and what appeared before him was indeed the Spider-Woman he had encountered on the rooftop earlier.
"Later, I will explain everything to you. For now, I will take you and the people here to evacuate first." After putting on the Spider-Woman suit, Gwen's voice changed a bit, sounding capable and direct, giving people a sense of reliability and trustworthiness.
"Okay!" Vincent had no objection... "Students, gather together, don't run around!"
In a corner of the mall building, Counselor Rott and his assistant, Mysterio, though equally terrified, were still leading and protecting the majority of the students.
Thump thump!
Red electronic pupil lights flickered in the smoke. An alien robot scanned and discovered them, immediately striding and charging towards them. Before it even got close, it fired continuously, and several piercing white lasers shattered the stone pillars and railings in front!
The students screamed and retreated, but quickly found their backs against a wall.
Mysterio gritted his teeth, and still, together with Counselor Rott, firmly stood in front of the students with their bodies.
At the critical moment, from the area behind the alien robot, two white spider-silks shot out, sticking to the alien robot's metal arms respectively.
Under the pull of immense strength, the alien robot was flung violently out of the building as if it were moving backward!
With a "whoosh," Spider-Woman lightly leaped down in front of the Counselor and the students, waving her hand and shouting, "Everyone, follow me!"
Vincent, meanwhile, picked up the energy weapon dropped by the alien robot from the ground and merged into the student crowd.
"Go, let's get out of here quickly!"
Counselor Rott had thought he was doomed. Hearing the voice, he snapped back to his senses with a jolt and exclaimed with joy.
