Pfft!
When Gwen turned her head, she saw Dr. Lizard's sharp claws penetrate the chest of the female secretary, Saji, without any obstruction.
Saji's face was filled with terror. Even when Dr. Lizard threw her to the ground like trash, her eyes remained wide open, as if she couldn't believe she had died just like that!
As for Gwen, she stared blankly at everything, her mind a complete void.
As a young girl overflowing with a sense of justice, she subconsciously attributed Saji's death to her own powerlessness.
If I had been more careful, if I had noticed the situation of the vehicles on the bridge at the first moment... I could have saved both of them!
But now... looking at Saji's unclosed eyes, a sense of guilt involuntarily welled up in Gwen's heart.
She felt that she was responsible for the other party's death.
Realizing this, Gwen, in an attempt to rectify the mistake she had made, recklessly charged forward, trying to stop the Lizard Monster... "At least the killer must be brought to justice!"
With this thought, she crashed into the Lizard Monster.
Her anger indeed increased her strength. She successfully knocked down Dr. Lizard, whose potion's effects were gradually fading, and straddled him, repeatedly throwing punches.
Her fists rained down on Dr. Lizard's face, even smashing his incredibly strong defenses into a bloody mess.
But that was all!
While anger enhanced Gwen's strength, it also caused her Spider-Sense to temporarily malfunction.
Dr. Lizard seized the opportunity to bind Gwen with his tail, then raised his hand and clawed at Gwen's stomach.
Fortunately, the moment his claws swung out, they vaguely showed signs of impending collapse.
Otherwise, if that claw had landed squarely, Gwen would surely have been disemboweled.
Watching his strong right arm slowly disintegrate, the Lizard Monster seemed to witness the most terrifying thing in the World.
Taking one last look at Gwen, who he had heavily thrown to the ground, and the armed helicopter circling high above, he dared not linger. He immediately climbed onto the bridge's steel beam and quickly disappeared from the scene.
Gwen reluctantly got up from the ground. She originally wanted to continue pursuing the Lizard Monster.
However, the distance between them was too great, and faint police sirens could be heard behind her.
Thinking of what happened at noon, Gwen gradually calmed down. She dared not stay any longer, so she covered her bleeding abdomen and swung away with her web... Osborn!
Watching his completely disintegrated right arm, Connors, who was gradually devolving from a Lizard Monster back into a human, involuntarily thought of this name.
He must return to Oscorp Tower to inject himself with more lizard serum, and also... he must get revenge! Make that Norman Osborn, who regards human lives as worthless, pay the price!
Clang!
Dr. Lizard smashed through the glass curtain wall on the ground floor of Oscorp Tower, tearing apart all the employees and security guards in his path with his sharp claws.
He stumbled towards his laboratory, completely unaware that outside the window, a monster in a dark green metal battlesuit, riding a flying skateboard, was quietly watching him.
"Curt Connors?"
Green Goblin, or rather, Norman Osborn, grinned an exaggerated arc, his eyes flashing with excitement and curiosity.
"It seems my 'backup plan' has also succeeded... or failed?"
Yee-haw!
Seeing Connors, in his half-human, half-lizard state, about to reach for the lizard serum, Green Goblin, who was in the air, let out a strange cry and instantly swooped down.
The Green Goblin Glider beneath his feet easily smashed through the glass curtain wall, snatching an entire box of lizard serum into his hands at an incredibly fast speed!
Seeing his "hope" snatched away, Dr. Connors, in an extremely unstable mental state, roared and reached out to grab Green Goblin, who was in the air.
But now, the effects of his potion had almost worn off, and his body had returned to the height of a normal human. How could he possibly reach Green Goblin, who was rapidly moving through the air?
After all that struggle, he didn't even catch a single hair of Green Goblin's, and instead was riddled with wounds from Green Goblin's darts.
"Oh, poor Connors! Look at your worthless state~"
Seeing the lizard scales on Connors' body almost completely disappear.
He quickly manipulated the glider to fly down and injected Connors with one-third of a tube of the potion.
This, in his opinion, was the most suitable mode, neither indecisive as usual, nor so violent as to be unable to communicate.
After injecting the potion, Green Goblin jumped off the glider and simultaneously removed his Green Goblin Helmet.
"Osborn?" Connors looked at Green Goblin, letting out a low growl.
"Oh, I'm glad you still recognize me~"
Green Goblin looked down at Connors from above, his tone full of mockery.
"However, Norman Osborn is dead. You should now call me... Green Goblin!"
"You! Deserve! To die!" The half-human, half-lizard Connors let out a piercing roar.
Green Goblin, however, ignored this, merely circling Connors, analyzing and saying:
"Unstable... it seems your gene chain, like mine, is on the verge of collapse."
Green Goblin instantly determined that the lizard serum was a failure, even inferior to his physique enhancement potion.
At least he was sane (Green Goblin believed he had killed the weak personality), while what Connors created was a monster completely unable to control itself.
He needed a real antidote!
An antidote that could both allow him to retain his power and perfectly stabilize his genes, freeing him, Harry, and future generations from the family's hereditary disease forever!
To achieve this... a name quickly surfaced in his mind—Peter Parker!
Because Connors' report meticulously detailed Peter's help in completing the Decay Rate Algorithm.
Green Goblin was convinced that this young man, Peter, or rather, the relics left by his parents, held the key to saving the Osborn family!
Yes! It's him!
In the blink of an eye, a crazy plan formed in Green Goblin's mind:
"Listen! You wretch!"
Green Goblin ignored Connors' chatter and shouted in a highly inflammatory tone:
"We are not enemies! We are now of the same kind! Both abandoned by this World... a higher existence!"
Green Goblin walked to the French window, looking at the bustling traffic outside and exclaimed:
"Look at them! Those fragile, foolish, lowly humans! We are meant to dominate and enslave these inferior beings, and even gradually transform them into our brothers!"
Listening to Green Goblin's words, Dr. Lizard's eyes subconsciously showed a thoughtful expression.
Building a kingdom full of Lizardmen... that didn't sound bad either!
"What do you want to do?" It couldn't help but ask.
Green Goblin, hearing this, involuntarily grinned again:
"We must immediately find Peter Parker! That child will be our key to opening the New World!"
