I'm making the Marvel Spider-Man in American comics.

Chapter 199 Hunting the Octopus

Chapter 199 Hunting the Octopus

"Long time no see, Doctor. Do you really like the riverbed that much? Or is it some kind of new species of large freshwater octopus?"

"Shut up, Spider-Man!"

Doctor Octopus, possessed and enhanced by the symbiote, angrily extended his alloy tentacles toward Spider-Man. Otto Octavia felt an unparalleled sense of freedom at that moment. Looking at his limbs that could move again, he smiled happily, then reached out his hand toward Spider-Man and made a choking motion. The mechanical tentacles behind him followed quickly, aiming directly at Spider-Man's neck and rushing forward.

However, devouring does not enhance the host's agility.

"I must say, Doctor, if you need to use your own gestures to control each tentacle, why don't you just transform your limbs into tentacles?"

Dodging Doctor Octopus's tentacle attacks with agility, Spider-Man quickly closed in, only to have a web stick to his face: "Or have you discovered a new mathematical formula, four plus four equals four? Well, then you don't need this four plus four!"

But Doctor Octopus quickly found a whole new way to use his limbs. For example, he could use his hands instead of mechanical tentacles to tear the spider webs off his face—but this did not stop Spider-Man from getting in front of him and punching him in the face.

However, even Peter, who had become one with Venom, still made a dull thud after hitting Doctor Octopus's face. Peter couldn't help but shake his hand and subconsciously asked, "Why does it feel like something out of a horror movie? Is your face made of titanium alloy?"

"I am invincible!"

Doctor Octopus, whose will had been amplified by the symbiote, roared and then swept Peter away with his mechanical tentacles. Peter, quick as a flash, used his webs to stick the remaining purple container to Agent Ward, who had just rushed in, and then slammed himself against the wall by the mechanical tentacles.

"Don't worry about me, take the symbiote with you!" Peter hugged Doctor Octopus's tentacle without a care in the world. "Don't worry, this isn't the first time I've fought an octopus—we didn't have a symbiote last time."

Ward nodded immediately, preparing to return to the S.H.I.E.L.D. submarine. However, as he carried the container, he glanced at the storage room and became puzzled: Weren't there supposed to be four symbiotes in total? Even including the one on Doctor Octopus, there were only three. Where did the other one go?

Without time to think, Ward rushed out of the lab, leaving Doctor Octopus and Spider-Man to continue the fight. Spider-Man grabbed Doctor Octopus's tentacle; this time was different from the last—Doctor Octopus, now possessed by the symbiote, was much stronger. Peter planned to grab Doctor Octopus's tentacle and throw him out, but then, something unexpected happened: Doctor Octopus's tentacle erupted with tremendous energy, using it to fling Spider-Man away.

Peter was shocked. He was almost certain that Doctor Octopus hadn't possessed such power before. Although his own strength had been inferior to the doctor's tentacles before, he hadn't had the Venom symbiote then, and his power had long since been greatly enhanced by Venom.

"It seems your new friend not only enhances yourself, but also your tentacles—or perhaps he only enhanced your tentacles?"

Peter, who had just peeked himself off the wall, shrugged and then asked about the whereabouts of the last symbiote: "So, Doctor, it seems one of your friends is missing. What are they planning to do?"

What were they planning to do?

These words seemed to jolt Otto awake instantly. His four tentacles began to thrash wildly and dangerously. In the midst of this thrashing, the tentacles "accidentally" triggered a device, resulting in a violent sonic wave. Simultaneously, the "devouring" effect on Venom and Doctor Octopus caused a violent molecular instability. Venom, unable to withstand the high-intensity sonic waves, returned directly to Peter's body. Peter, after a helpless tremor, looked at the suffering Doctor and made a choice...

Increase the dosage.

Since the venom had already taken refuge inside him, and Devourer had taken refuge inside Doctor Octopus, it would be like catching a turtle in a jar, making it even easier to catch. Peter simply braved the sound waves to reach the empty container, picked it up, and walked towards Doctor Octopus. At this moment, Devourer was already trembling incessantly, in immense pain. It hesitated a bit when it saw the jar in Peter's hand, but Peter simply grabbed the symbiote on Doctor Octopus's body and pulled it out little by little, forcibly ripping Devourer off Doctor Octopus.

Under the vibration of the sound waves, the symbiotic relationship between the symbiote and the host became quite unstable. So, the Devourer was slowly pulled off by Peter and stuffed into the container and locked up. Then Peter turned off the sound wave emitter and used spider silk to tie up Doctor Octopus.

"That's unexpected, Doctor. I thought you would put up a good fight."

Peter looked at this supervillain, who could be considered Spider-Man's nemesis in any universe, with considerable curiosity and asked with slight confusion, "Why did you surrender so easily? Is it related to what I said?"

"Of course, Spider-Man. I'm still an Earthling, after all." Otto Octavia, panting heavily, looked at Peter. "You must inform the Avengers that these symbiotes might be involved in an alien invasion. The Avengers must be prepared!"

?

Nobita, you're really out of the loop.

"We already know about this, Doctor. It's kind of you to sacrifice yourself for others." Peter said helplessly, scratching the back of his head. Doctor Octopus was shocked for a while before looking at Spider-Man in disbelief: "You already know?"

"Yes, after all, I already have a symbiote friend, and he's a good guy. Besides, we've captured another symbiote, and we also know why these symbiotes came to Earth; the Avengers have already dealt with it. Now the only problem here is, where is the symbiote you lost? Can you tell us, Doctor?"

The latest novel is first published here!

Doctor Octopus stood there dumbfounded, completely unable to understand what had happened, so Peter could only sigh helplessly.

"So what did I say? Um... thank you for your help, Doctor."
