"Really?"
Upon hearing this, Harry Osborn's sadness turned to joy, and he eagerly confirmed, "Peter, then we have a deal."
Harry Osborn knew far better than anyone else how strong Peter Parker's scientific research abilities were.
And a handsome and wealthy rich second generation like him was never short of sycophantic friends, but he only became close friends with Peter Parker, who was slightly dull and conservative in his ways.
Aside from the one-tenth pure friendship (perhaps even less), it was mostly admiration for his astonishing talent.
Therefore, even before Peter Parker graduated from college, Harry Osborn had repeatedly invited him to work at his Osborn Industries after graduation.
The benefits offered were also very generous, even allowing him to name his own salary!
This shows how deeply Harry Osborn valued and recognized his friend.
If his Green Goblin Armor could be helped and improved by Peter Parker, he believed that it wouldn't be long before the Green Goblin Armor would be a super armor comparable to the Mark System Armor.
Tell me, which young rich second generation doesn't want to be a well-known superhero loved by all young people, just like Tony Stark?
That way, Harry Osborn would have endless girls and endless fun!
"Huh? That guy should have entered the subway tunnel through that passage..."
A moment later, Harry Osborn received a prompt from the intelligent auxiliary System built into his armor, pointed to a subway entrance not far ahead that was blocked by barriers and clearly undergoing repairs, and excitedly said,
"I have a hunch that those guys are likely hiding deep within the subway station!"
Peter Parker strongly agreed, "That's right, I think so too. It seems we're one step closer to our final goal."
Among the group, only Gwen remained silent.
For some reason, she had a vague, inexplicable feeling that this operation might encounter some unpredictable twists and turns?
...
As the three continued to go deeper, they soon discovered a large number of Symbiote Warriors returning from hunting in various subway entrances or sewers within the tunnel.
However, the three did not actively provoke these irrational guys, but continued to follow the beacon source, slowly pushing forward.
"That guy seems to have stopped. Presumably, going down about two kilometers from here will lead directly to the lair of these Symbiote Warriors..."
At this moment, Harry Osborn, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly stopped and said to Gwen and Peter Parker, who were following behind him,
"How about it? Do you need me to send the coordinates to Hyperspace Group now?"
"No." Gwen shook her head with a determined expression, "Don't get happy too early. We must first confirm the exact location of that beacon source."
"Gwen is right, we need to learn from our last lesson..."
Lizard Peter expressed his unconditional support for his goddess's suggestion, "Currently, Hyperspace Group is our biggest external support and the key to resolving this crisis. If we lose their help due to another oversight on our part, I'm afraid we won't be able to handle this situation with our own strength."
"Alright then!" Harry Osborn immediately put away the smile on his face and directed the two deeper into the tunnel.
Half an hour later, the three successfully arrived at an extremely spacious underground area. Looking up, a 'giant tree' that looked like it was formed from flesh and blood, with a diameter of at least ten meters, stood in the center of the space.
Through the faint glow emanating from the 'giant tree', the three saw countless Symbiote Warriors lingering beneath the tree.
They were like 'worker ants' waiting to hand over their grain, quietly standing in line beneath the 'giant tree'.
"My goodness, this scene is truly shocking..."
The three then hid in a corner that was not easily noticeable, quietly observing the surroundings. Harry Osborn pointed to the 'giant tree' in the distance and excitedly said,
"Presumably, that's the beacon source that Peter detected with the instrument before?"
"Now we just need to send the coordinates here to Hyperspace Group, and then we can completely end this disaster that hasn't happened yet. This is truly amazing!!"
Lizard Peter nodded seriously, "Harry is right, it's a good thing Hyperspace Group is helping us. Otherwise, this number of Symbiote Warriors wouldn't be solved by a simple battle... Just looking at them is enough to give you a headache."
"Yeah." Harry Osborn said with some emotion, "Although these guys are all criminals, we can't just kill them for convenience. Perhaps that's the fundamental reason the guy behind the scenes chose them?"
But then he looked at the Symbiote Warriors who were like tree worms, burying their entire bodies into the tree holes of that 'giant tree', with only their heads exposed and constantly 'glowing', and said with some confusion,
"Strange, why are those Symbiote Warriors doing such weird things? Is that 'giant tree' their habitat?"
"But why have I never seen anyone mention that Symbiotes have such a strange habit in the relevant reports from The Daily Bugle and the official reports?"
At this moment, Gwen, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "No, I guess they are using that tree... to be precise, that Launcher (launching device), to transmit some kind of information or... Earth's coordinates to that so-called God of Symbiotes Nal!!"
"Ah, no way?"
Lizard Peter and Harry Osborn were startled at first, and then they felt a chilling sensation.
If Gwen was right, wouldn't that mean that the God of Symbiotes Nal could invade Earth at any time after receiving Earth's interstellar coordinates?
Damn it, is New York going to replay the scene of aliens invading Earth again?
"Harry, you can send the coordinates here to Hyperspace Group." Gwen said with a complex expression, "It seems the actual situation is much more serious than we previously imagined..."
"No problem, leave it to me." Harry Osborn then used the intelligent System built into his suit to start sending the coordinates to Hyperspace Group.
Meanwhile, Lizard Peter, after looking around, said to Gwen, "Gwen, I'm afraid Hyperspace Group won't come so quickly this time, after all, they need to prepare forces and special weapons and equipment to deal with these Symbiote Warriors, so... how about we withdraw from here first and monitor from the outside?"
Gwen nodded slightly. Their reconnaissance mission had been successfully completed. Now they just needed to wait for Hyperspace Group to send troops here to clear out these Symbiote Warriors.
Continuing to stay here would only increase the risk of alerting the enemy.
However, just as Gwen was following behind Lizard Peter and Harry Osborn, preparing to leave this huge underground space, her Spider-Sense, which hadn't appeared for a long time, suddenly sent her a warning.
However, it wasn't an attack warning during a battle, but more like a risk warning.
It was as if something dangerous was about to appear.
So Gwen couldn't help but stop, turned her head to look in the direction indicated by her Spider-Sense, and soon saw a tall figure with a pair of huge wings on its back, suddenly dropping from the dark space above the tunnel in a dark dome opposite.
That figure slowly landed on one of the 'branches' of the 'giant tree', and then, like a king, looked down at the Symbiote Warriors gathered beneath the 'giant tree'.
"Wait a minute Peter, that guy seems a bit off..."
Somehow, although Gwen was certain this was the first time she had seen that 'Symbiote Warrior' with giant wings on its back, her keen sixth sense told her that the human hidden within this body completely encased by a Symbiote was definitely someone she had seen before.
Could it be... Eddie Brock?
The first person that came to Gwen's mind was Eddie Brock, her Father's murderer, because she had suspected that he was the one behind this 'Symbiote crisis'.
It was just that she had never had any evidence to prove her point.
At this moment, she heard Lizard Peter beside her whisper in shock after seeing the figure opposite, "Wow, that guy is practically an upgraded version of Vulture!!"
Harry Osborn said with some uncertainty, "Wait a minute, could that guy be the Void Knight who has been hiding behind the scenes, controlling all the Symbiote Warriors?"
Gwen and Lizard Peter were both startled, but then they felt that there was a high possibility that Harry Osborn was right.
"Gwen, what should we do?"
Lizard Peter looked at his goddess and asked with some uncertainty, "If Harry is unfortunately right, should we stay here and watch him, or..."
"This..." Gwen naturally understood what Lizard Peter meant, but at this moment, she was in a dilemma.
Although the current opportunity was very rare, if they could capture the Void Knight on the spot, all problems would be solved.
Not only could they nip the 'Symbiote crisis', which had not yet worsened, in the bud, but they could also confirm whether the other party's true identity was Eddie Brock?
But the problem was, this was precisely the most difficult part.
Leaving aside the Symbiote Warriors who had drilled into the 'tree holes' and whose heads were glowing, there were at least several thousand Symbiote Warriors in this tunnel alone.
Even if the three of them used all their skills, they wouldn't be able to capture the Void Knight alive in this situation, and they might even be captured by him... no, they would be directly torn apart by those Symbiote Warriors!
If Gwen were alone, it would be easier to say. Even if she couldn't win, she could at least escape, but now she also had to consider the safety of Peter Parker and Harry Osborn.
But if Gwen were to watch the culprit who caused the deaths of many innocent civilians leave before her eyes, she couldn't accept it either.
Especially when the other party's true identity was very likely her Father's murderer!
However, at this moment, Harry Osborn beside her suddenly let out a low exclamation, "This is bad, that guy seems to be leaving?"
Gwen quickly looked across upon hearing this, only to see that the figure seemed to have completed his purpose for this trip, and with a fierce flap of his wings, his figure had already flown into the air.
Without time to think, Gwen immediately ordered, "Harry, stop him... We can't just let this guy go!!"
At the same time, she raised her hand and shot a web upwards, her graceful figure leaping forward, and with the swing of the web, she rapidly glided straight towards the direction of the figure opposite.
"Whoosh—"
The Demon Glider under Harry Osborn's feet fired a Pumpkin Bomb with wings, and in the blink of an eye, it flew in front of Eddie Brock, who was about to leave.
"Boom—!!!"
Accompanied by a loud bang, the unprepared Eddie Brock was directly blown away.
Because the Pumpkin Bomb exploded relatively close to his head, the Symbiote mask on his face was melted away slightly by the high temperature generated by the explosion, revealing half of his face.
However, in the next second, the black Symbiote immediately filled the gap again.
"Damn it, where did these little bugs come from, daring to break into my territory?"
"You're dead... Bang!!!"
Eddie Brock quickly locked onto Harry Osborn's position, but just as he was feeling enraged, a graceful figure swept past him like lightning, and then kicked him far away again in mid-air.
"It's you..."
Gwen's body trembled violently due to extreme anger, and the exquisite face under the mask was already consumed by endless fury.
Although Eddie Brock had only revealed a corner of his profile just now, and it was covered up by the giant Symbiote dragon named Grendel on his body in less than three seconds, this scene was still captured by the sharp-eyed Gwen.
Even without seeing Eddie Brock's full appearance, Gwen could still be certain that the person in front of her was the Father's murderer she had 'thought about day and night'!
Because after she successfully found out his true identity, she had completely imprinted this man's appearance in her mind, so even seeing just a corner was enough for her to distinguish him.
In addition, the hatred and anger that suddenly surged in her heart would absolutely not deceive her!!
Therefore...
When enemies meet, their eyes turn red with hatred.
"Swish swish swish—"
Eight sharp Hell Spider Spears suddenly grew from Gwen's back, and she charged towards the direction where Eddie Brock had fallen.
