But the next second, a streak of blue lightning, fast to the extreme, flashed before his eyes.
He didn't even manage to see what it was, merely instinctively feeling a hint of chill.
Immediately following, his vision began to spin, and the final frozen image was his own headless body and the geyser of blood shooting into the sky.
"I... died?"
The thought had barely flashed by before his consciousness plunged into eternal darkness.
And this Green Goblin's death was merely an insignificant part of this bloody feast.
Beside him, countless companions had met the same silent end.
No screams, no struggles, not even time to react.
Those multiverse villains who, a second ago, were clamoring to tear the Spider-Men to pieces, became cold corpses the next. On their faces, expressions of shock and arrogance remained frozen.
"Fuck!"
Miguel OHara, who had just landed, watched as Peter nearly "parted the hair" of the tens of thousands-strong villain army in the blink of an eye, so shocked he couldn't even speak.
He had witnessed countless battles and ended the lives of countless criminals himself, but he had never seen such efficient slaughter.
"It's simply... fucking ridiculous!"
"Don't just stand there like an idiot! Keep up!" The voice of Otto Parker beside him jolted him out of his shock.
"Once this portal 'heals', I guarantee you'll end up even worse than that scum."
Hearing this, Miguel shuddered involuntarily. Daring not to hesitate any longer, he immediately hurried in the direction Peter had left.
"Tsk, this is getting a bit boring!"
After killing his way back and forth through the army of villains before him, Evil Peter suddenly smacked his lips, feeling inexplicably empty.
Mowing down enemies like grass is fun at first, of course.
But as time went on, the boredom of having no real interaction gradually amplified.
To put it bluntly, killing these villains really felt no different than killing chickens.
The experience was far inferior to the passionate exchange with Laufey earlier.
At the same time Evil Peter was getting tired of this grass-mowing game, the villain army was completely broken by Peter.
Ever since they arrived in this Universe, they had been reduced to the bottom of society, long having lost the superiority they once felt over the masses.
Seeing Peter's attacks, which were essentially dimensional strikes, and knowing at a glance that he was mentally unstable, how could they even entertain the thought of giving their all to defeat him?
One by one, they dropped their weapons, crying and screaming, scattering like headless flies, wishing only that their parents had given them more legs to run with.
"A bunch of trash!"
Castle rooftop.
Jennix, who had originally prepared to watch the Little Spiders be torn to pieces by the villain army here, lost his composure.
He never expected those pieces of trash to be so useless.
He had originally thought that even if ten thousand pigs were piled in front of those invaders, they could at least hold them back for a while.
Yet he never imagined these guys were worse than pigs, collapsing after less than a minute.
"You can't really blame them!"
Beside Jennix, the hooded Karn furrowed his brows, but still spoke patiently:
"That lead Spider is indeed not simple. I've been hunting outside for so many years, yet I've never seen such powerful totem energy!"
His words reminded Jennix.
"Could it be..."
An absurd thought surfaced in his mind—were his big brothers all being played?
That the other guy created the illusion of waiting for death in his own Universe, but was actually playing a 'base trade' tactic, planning to achieve a counter-kill through this strategy?
Thinking of this, Jennix's eyes rolled, and a plan immediately formed.
He glanced at Karn beside him with a look of disdain, and ordered commandingly:
"Hey, you go and take responsibility for stopping them!"
"And what about you?" Karn's face beneath the hood frowned involuntarily, feeling that his brother was somewhat embarrassing their Inheritor Family.
"Me?" Jennix answered with a sneer:
"Naturally, I'm notifying Father to come back and capture this guy. Damn it, I don't know what's wrong with Morlun and the others, they haven't even realized their home has been raided!
Regardless, you must stop him before I bring Father here... If you mess this up again, don't even think about finding another chance to return to the family!"
Karn, hearing Jennix's tone, which didn't treat him like a brother at all, tightened his grip on his energy harpoon involuntarily.
But thinking that this was indeed the only chance for him, a child who had been wandering for hundreds of years, to return home, he didn't argue back, merely grabbing his harpoon and preparing to jump down.
But just at this moment...
"I heard that, you know~"
A blinding blue stream of light rapidly magnified in his retinas.
It was Peter, who, despite being a thousand meters away, had noticed their movements and instantly rushed near them.
"Calling for backup isn't allowed, you know."
Evil Peter said, casually kicking out a Tempest Kick, instantly knocking Karn back a good distance.
"Trash!"
Seeing Karn actually knocked back by a random kick from the other.
Jennix assumed it was just his brother's lack of ability.
However, having heard from Deimos that the other was very strong, and secondly, considering himself a scientist who used his brain, he shouldn't engage in melee combat with the opponent.
Therefore, he didn't impulsively choose to show off his power to his "stupid little brother", but turned and left without a second thought, preparing to contact their old father Solus.
However, before he could leave the rooftop, he heard an impatient voice from behind:
"I said calling for backup isn't allowed. Are you deaf?"
Before the words fell, the Vibranium blade had turned into a streak of cold light, instantly slicing across Jennix's neck.
Puchi!
A bespectacled head shot into the sky, its face still maintaining that greedy and shocked expression.
Instant kill!
Jennix, who boasted of being the greatest brain of the Inheritor Family, only realized at this moment that he had made a grave mistake.
It turned out... it wasn't that the villain army was truly trash, nor was it Karn's lack of ability.
But that this the other was actually powerful enough to instantly kill them, Inheritors who fed on totem energy!
Trouble!
Must notify Father to return immediately, otherwise... the factory would be in danger!
In the final moment before losing consciousness, Jennix didn't hesitate, immediately pressing the remote to set the factory's operating efficiency to maximum, while simultaneously initiating a remote connection.
And not far beside him, Karn, seeing this scene, had his eyes split with rage.
"Jennix!"
Watching his brother's tragic death, despite not having returned home for hundreds of years, Karn instantly flew into a rage.
He roared, his energy harpoon blooming with blinding light, and lunged at Evil Peter like a madman.
