"How ridiculous, a mere bug like you actually thinks she can kill me?"
Cletus Kasady then used his flexible tentacles to directly tear off the webs sticking to his body, and with a ferocious gaze, he met Gwen, roaring loudly:
"Just with those spider legs behind you?"
"I advise you to stop wasting your energy there. I am now a higher existence than a street hero like you. No one can kill me… Poof poof poof!!!"
But before he could finish his words, Gwen, who was ruthless and spoke little, had already pierced his limbs with four Hell Spider Spears, nailing him to the wall in a 'big' shape.
"Ugh ah ah…"
Cletus Kasady and the Carnage within him simultaneously let out a bloodcurdling scream; he had never experienced such a deep, soul-piercing pain.
But just as he gritted his teeth and endured the pain, wanting to use the sharp tentacles on his back to give Gwen a taste of her own medicine, he was astonished to find that those tentacles seemed to have encountered mud in Water, and could no longer lift an inch.
"This… this is impossible?!"
Cletus Kasady roared in panic, "Carnage, what the hell are you doing? Hurry up and kill this damned little bug?!"
However, Carnage replied weakly, "No, I can't do it. She… she is absorbing our life energy."
"What did you say?!"
Cletus Kasady stared with disbelief, but when he felt it closely, he quickly realized that the'spider legs' that had pierced his limbs were now greedily sucking his life force… and even his soul!
That heart-wrenchwrenching feeling just now originated from this!
"No, no, it shouldn't be like this!!"
The expression on Cletus Kasady's face gradually changed from anger to deep fear, but no matter how much he struggled, it was always in vain.
The powerful force of the Symbiote seemed to be sealed by these four Hell Spider Spears, unable to exert any effect at all.
It seemed that the only path left for Cletus Kasady was to watch himself die!
Since the day he obtained the Symbiote, Cletus Kasady had never imagined that one day he would end up in such an absurd and tragic situation.
Anger!
Fear!
Unwillingness…
All sorts of emotions began to intertwine in Cletus Kasady's heart.
"No, let go of my baby!"
At this moment, Francis Barrison, who had been knocked unconscious by Carnage, stumbled and crawled up from the ground.
Seeing her man being pierced through by someone in a spider suit, she didn't even think and immediately opened her mouth to gather energy, releasing a powerful ultrasonic wave towards Gwen.
"Buzz—"
However, this ultrasonic attack, which was powerful enough to instantly blow up a helicopter, was easily blocked by a Hell Spider Spear that Gwen extended from her back, having sensed the danger in advance through her Spider-Sense.
The front end of that Hell Spider Spear seemed to contain some kind of invisible psionic force field, which could block a certain degree of attack.
"Whoosh—"
Almost simultaneously with Francis Barrison's attack, another Hell Spider Spear from Gwen's back shot out like lightning, directly piercing the unprepared Francis Barrison's chest, and began to suck her life force and soul.
And during this brief but extremely dangerous process, Gwen didn't even turn her head to look at Francis Barrison.
Because there was no need at all.
In her eyes, the other party was just a dead person!
"No… let go of my wife, you can't kill her, she's innocent."
Cletus Kasady cried out in panic, with curses, roars, and pleas…
But Gwen completely ignored his barking.
No, do you even hear what you, a scumbag, are saying?
Did the two of you ever let go of those ordinary people who begged for mercy from you before?
Gwen naturally wouldn't bother with such a double-standard guy.
Soon, Francis Barrison's head drooped powerlessly, and her skin, due to her life force being sucked dry, turned a dull, grayish color.

"No, you damned little bug, you killed my wife, I'll slaughter you!!"
Cletus Kasady, full of rage, cursed weakly, but his own situation was no better than that of the already deceased Francis Barrison.
His Symbiote body, originally as robust as a small mountain, was now shriveled beyond recognition, with only a thin crimson membrane covering his body. Even with the naked eye, one could discern Cletus Kasady's true form inside.
And the Carnage Symbiote parasitic on him had been silent since who knows when.
Adrian Toomes, not far away, felt a chilling sensation run down his spine after witnessing this scene.
If Spider-Woman had attacked him back then, he would probably have died long ago, not surviving until today.
So what if he got the Symbiote?
Even a powerful being like Carnage was still as weak as a chicken in front of Spider-Woman, wasn't he?
Even though Adrian Toomes felt somewhat resistant, he had to admit… times had changed!
Looking at his daughter, who still showed no signs of waking up in his arms, Adrian Toomes felt a sense of loss. He immediately decided that from now on, he would be an honest man and would no longer engage in any illegal activities.
Because he no longer wanted his daughter to be in such a dangerous situation as today.
This was his duty and obligation as a father.
"Stop!!"
At this moment, an urgent roar suddenly echoed outside the church, followed by Nick Fury leading Captain America and a group of Avengers, pouring in from outside.
The sudden appearance of these people undoubtedly made the atmosphere, which had almost calmed down, tense again.
Nick Fury subtly glanced at the unconscious young girl in Adrian Toomes's arms. Seeing that she hadn't revealed her true appearance, he finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Because unless a Skrulls dies or actively chooses to remove their 'disguise,' they will never revert to their original form, even if they are knocked unconscious!
Thankfully, the situation hadn't developed in the worst possible direction…
However, Nick Fury's attention immediately shifted to Gwen. His sharp single eye first scanned the Hell Spider Spears behind Gwen, which were sucking Cletus Kasady's life force, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink sharply.
Although he didn't know what these spider-leg-like weapons were, his crisis awareness, honed over many years, told him that they were extremely dangerous, even enough to threaten his life.
But fortunately, many Avengers stood behind him, which instantly boosted his confidence considerably.
"Spider-Woman, I am Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Please stop your attack immediately and hand that Symbiote Warrior over to S.H.I.E.L.D. for disposal…"
Nick Fury's tone was very firm, and his voice carried an unquestionable authority, as if he was issuing an irresistible command to Gwen.
After all, over the years, he had long grown accustomed to this assertive posture, and it had always worked.
But who would have thought that Gwen, on the other side, wouldn't buy it, and retorted without showing any weakness: "What if I don't hand him over to S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
Gwen's steady tone carried a stubbornness unique to young people, as well as a deep dislike for S.H.I.E.L.D..
There was nothing she could do; it was this black man in front of her who had personally helped her father's killer escape the legal punishment he deserved and had given him greater power and status!
So it would be strange if Gwen gave Nick Fury a good look.
And Gwen's answer, falling into Nick Fury's ears, was as sharp and piercing as a challenge to his authority.
Nick Fury was first stunned, clearly not expecting this mere street hero… ah no, it should be said that her current identity was already a member of The Seven, but even so, he completely did not expect her to dare to speak to him so forcefully.
Nick Fury's brows furrowed, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face, and he raised a hand to point at Cletus Kasady on the Hell Spider Spear and Adrian Toomes, who was sitting on the ground covered in blood and holding the Pirate girl, threatening with full pressure:
"These two super criminals are both under the jurisdiction of S.H.I.E.L.D.. If you don't hand them over to S.H.I.E.L.D. for handling now…"
A ruthless arc suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his single eye narrowed slightly, "Spider-Woman, you wouldn't want to… be listed as a super criminal by S.H.I.E.L.D., would you?"
When it came to labeling, Nick Fury, in his long career, had yet to encounter anyone who could use it more skillfully than him.
But Gwen, who was all alone and had no attachments, clearly didn't fall for his trick. The girl merely let out a soft snort, her voice filled with fearless mockery.
"Director, what you said sounds really nice… But why didn't I see anyone from S.H.I.E.L.D. come forward to stop their evil deeds when those Symbiote Warriors were wantonly slaughtering civilians?"
"Now you're jumping out to snatch people; isn't that a bit too ugly?"
"You…" Nick Fury's mouth twitched slightly upon hearing this, his face instantly darkened, and he shouted loudly:
"How S.H.I.E.L.D. conducts its affairs is not for a street vigilante like you to teach."
"Furthermore, I am not discussing this with you, but commanding… Spider-Woman, I must warn you, if you continue to act stubbornly, you had better be prepared to face my wrath."
"Hmph, it's not that I look down on you, but even Homelander and Vought Corporation behind you don't have the guts to openly contend with S.H.I.E.L.D.!"
"So you'd better think about the consequences beforehand, lest you get carried away by a moment's quick wit and can't back out."

…
A contemptuous sneer appeared on Gwen's pretty face beneath the mask. Although the smile was hidden by the mask, Nick Fury and the others could still sense it from her slightly raised chin and the 'disdainful eyes' that changed on the mask's eye area.
Then, as if sensing something, Gwen's mind stirred, and she manipulated the Hell Spider Spears behind her. The sharp spear suddenly swung forward, throwing the lifeless Cletus Kasady, who had been drained of his life force and resembled a mummy, towards Nick Fury's feet.
"Since you want it so badly, then I'll grant your wish."
"Hmph, at least you're sensible."
Nick Fury's face showed a triumphant expression after his victory, thinking that his previous deterrence had worked.
What was a mere Spider-Woman?
Even if Homelander came, wouldn't he still be easily controlled by me?
Immediately, Nick Fury gave Black Widow, who was standing behind him with a gun, a look. Black Widow instantly understood, pulled out the pre-prepared Symbiote Capture Device, and quickly went forward to check on Cletus Kasady's condition.
"Officer…"
However, Black Widow soon slowly stood up, shaking her head at Nick Fury with a complex expression, "Um… he and the Symbiote are both dead!!"
"What did you say?!"
Nick Fury couldn't believe his ears, his single eye instantly widened, and the triumphant expression on his face vanished without a trace, replaced by extreme anger.
Undoubtedly, from his understanding of Black Widow, she clearly… no, it should be said that she absolutely could not be joking with him about such a matter in such a situation.
So that meant he had been played by Spider-Woman?
Nick Fury instantly glared at Gwen, his eyes seemingly spitting fire, and roared loudly: "You damned fool, do you know what you've done?!"
"To all humanity, every Alien Symbiote is an immeasurable treasure, because with scientific guidance and training, these Symbiotes can become a winning weapon that can help many civilians and nations avoid death and destruction when facing attacks from Titan and Kaiju…"
"Yet, you, this fool, killed such a precious Symbiote out of your own selfish desires?!"
Nick Fury grew angrier as he spoke, veins bulging on his forehead, and his lips trembled uncontrollably, clearly at the peak of his emotional agitation.
"You… do you know how many people around the World will die because of your foolish act just now?"
"Do you know how many nations and regions will be completely destroyed by those suddenly appearing monsters because of your foolish act?"
