Chapter 161 The Spiders Hold a Meeting
To be honest, Joey didn't remember much about the name "Moron".
After all, when he first heard "Flint," he didn't realize that it was the alias of "Sandman." It was only after the other party showed an unusual appetite for Spider-Man that Joey remembered what kind of person the other party was.
Back when I was still figuring out the Kryptonian abilities, I was worried that General Zod's remnants would wander onto Earth the next day and make it difficult for me to deal with them.
Fortunately, that didn't happen in the end; instead of a small group of Kryptonian remnants, the enemy was replaced by a million-strong army from a Star Empire.
While Peter Parker may not be as unlucky as I am now, he's certainly not far behind.
This man, who calls himself "Morlon," can be considered Spider-Man's nemesis. He is as deadly to Spider-Man as Kryptonite is to Kryptonians and Doomsday is to Superman.
For Parker to encounter him now is like being approached by the final boss before even leaving the beginner's village—utterly unlucky.
Perhaps Peter Parker from another universe could, through years of growth and training, somehow manage to defeat his opponent in an encounter.
For Parker, who had just transformed into Spider-Man in this universe, without the help of the two of them, he would definitely be doomed.
Moron comes from a reclusive vampire family that exists outside the multiverse.
They possess extremely powerful individual strength, enabling them to freely traverse the universe and devour the energy and souls of living beings.
This is why they are so arrogant as to call their family "the heirs".
In their eyes, they are the inheritors of all things in the infinite multiverse.
For them, countless parallel universes are a giant playground where they can act as hunters, relentlessly pursuing and taking whatever they want from the creatures within, unstoppable by anyone.
This ability to devour is especially effective against beings like Spider-Man, who are closely associated with animal symbols; an ordinary Spider-Man would hardly survive a single encounter with these people.
The other party knows Spider-Man Peter Parker because he has repeated the act of killing Spider-Man and devouring their bodies and souls countless times in countless multiverses, and Spider-Man is almost always powerless to fight back.
As for why it is so effective, it involves complex magical symbolism.
If Raven or the Helm of Fate were present, they might be able to offer some explanation from the perspective of magical rituals, and try to neutralize the other party's special ability through rituals or counter-curses.
But Joey couldn't be bothered with such things, especially now that Moron's drooling fangs were only three or four feet away from Starfire.
Xinghuo really liked the Earth clothes that Joey had bought for her and didn't want them to be damaged by high temperatures or anything else.
The enemy was already right in front of him, and the battle was waiting for Joey to take charge.
Molen thought his prey and food had already given up resistance, so he pounced on the top floor without any hesitation, his long knuckles less than a foot away from the latter.
In the next second, he could snap the necks of these two lambs to the slaughter, until his vision blurred and he was uncontrollably sent flying into the higher sky.
Weak, too weak.
Joey punched Morren in the jaw with ordinary force, knocking out two of the latter's sharp teeth and sending him flying high into the air, far from the crowd.
The opponent didn't even have time to react to the punch.
Speaking of which, these heir families have another weakness, which Joey vaguely remembers as being...:
I'll just forget about it.
Almost as if teleporting, Joey's figure flashed in front of Morren, who was still disoriented from being punched, and threw another punch that sent him straight into space.
Joey, who had broken through the atmosphere with him, reached out and grabbed Morren by the neck, his eyes glowing red.
"You've come to the wrong place, vampire."
Joey is now somewhat disgusted with his experiences over the past few days. He had thought that coming to a new universe would allow him to rest and find a way for Earth to protect itself in the Kryptonian conflict in another universe.
First came the future warning of the Fantastic Four, then these families of heirs from outside the universe, and now is it going to be the Celestials?
No matter when, using heat vision to char someone's brain is a cruel form of execution, but for Moron, this method of death was just right.
As Joey gripped his throat with one hand, Moron let out a scream under the heat of his gaze; his facial skin and optic nerves were the first to be burned.
Sensing impending death, Moron instinctively began to relentlessly absorb Joey's life energy through physical contact between the two.
Then Morren discovered something—this enemy's life energy was so pure and immense that it exceeded the total of the thousands of Spider-Men he had killed!
Under this energy flow, Moron's facial burns even began to heal themselves, and he felt full of power.
He had never experienced such a wonderful feeling of being full of energy before!
"What a wonderful feeling!"
With his body in top condition, Moron's joints cracked and popped, his size doubled, and his strength increased by an unparalleled amount.
He grinned maliciously and threw a punch at his underestimating opponent:
"Die! I'll eat you first, then that woman, and finally my main course, Peter Parker!"
thump~
Laughing wildly, he punched his opponent in the face, interrupting the high-energy beam shooting from his eyes. Moron should have felt happy, but instead, he suppressed his arrogance and smile.
Because his fist did not deliver the expected visceral impact, but rather the hardness of steel.
"interesting."
Moron's energy absorption range was beyond Joey's expectations; he could not only absorb the emotional spectrum power of the Lamp Ring, but also the biofield of Kryptonians.
However, this was of no consequence. Even though the miniature AI inside his Kryptonian armor suggested recompiling energy wavelengths to counter the opponent, Joey was too lazy to use it.
As Moron frantically and greedily absorbed every bit of energy from Joey, his strength reached new heights.
Even so, he couldn't feel happy at all; instead, he struggled desperately to escape Joey's control.
He had already sensed the ever-growing pure bio-energy on the other end, and his attempt to drain the other party by consuming its energy was as impossible as trying to suck the ocean dry with a straw.
Watching the mollen wriggle in his hands, Joey increased the pressure on his hands.
At this moment, Joey could already see that the two long healing teeth that he had knocked out of the other party with one punch had regrown after absorbing some of his energy.
"Your race is so stupid it's disgusting."
It's hard to imagine that a race that is immortal and has the ability to travel between dimensions would have the primary goal of killing every Spider-Man they encounter while wandering through a multiverse full of infinite possibilities.
With such abilities, they could clearly be doing something more meaningful, instead of being a transdimensional pest like they are now.
Pests should naturally be disposed of in a harmless manner.
Grabbing Moron's head, Joey flew towards the center of the solar system, until he crossed the corona and reached the troposphere.
Joey, truly basking in the sun, felt better than ever before, while the Moron he was carrying was a completely different story.
The intense heat and heavy particle radiation from all directions tore through his skin, stripped away his muscle tissue, and destroyed his internal organs.
"Aaaaaah!!"
All of this caused him immense suffering.
He once thought he was an invincible hunter in the multiverse, so why has he ended up in this situation?
His survival instinct caused him to subconsciously absorb more Kryptonian energy to strengthen himself and repair his injuries, which had almost exposed his bones and were now completely healed.
Flesh and skin regenerate, only to be blown away from the body again by the newly rising solar winds, and so on, in a cycle that repeats itself over and over again.
Even inside the sun, Joey wouldn't let go, allowing Moron to touch him, draining his energy for a painful cycle—all of this he deserved.
"I don't know how much longer you can hold out, but as for myself, to borrow someone's words, 'I could spend an entire day with you.'"
While Joey was having a friendly exchange with Morren in the sun, Starfire brushed off non-existent dust and foreign objects from his clothes, trying to get Parker out of this troublesome place:
"You should go now, child."
The TV station's news helicopter will be flying over soon. Since he and Joey are not exactly people of high status, they will be hard to find if they are exposed.
If Parker wants to continue living a peaceful life, he'd better hurry up and leave.
Parker, who had just awakened his abilities, still seemed somewhat shaken. He looked up at the sky, but even with his enhanced vision, he couldn't see Joey's figure, which made him a little worried.
"But Mr. Joey hasn't..."
"It's over."
Spark had already figured out Moron's true strength during their previous encounters; he was no more deadly than a fully armed ordinary Kryptonian.
After several intimate encounters, she can now sense Joey's subtle thoughts from a distance, such as now that Joey has ended this battle.
However, he was not happy despite winning the battle.
This isn't too surprising. According to Xinghuo's previous observations, Joey is unhappy about nine out of ten days.
A buzzing sound filled the air as another portal lit up beside them.
"Not again?!"
When Xinghuo removed her sun hat and sunglasses, her long, orange-red hair was revealed. It was about to burst into flames, just like her owner's, radiating energy rays powerful enough to burn down the entire city of New York.
"Hey, hey, calm down, calm down!"
"We are not enemies! We are one—"
"Spider-Man (Spider-Ham)!"
Fortunately, what jumped out of the other end of the portal wasn't another mentally unstable vampire, but three creatures of different shapes and sizes:
"Are we too late?"
Stay alert and be ready for a sudden burst of sparks. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the newcomer was actually a giant red spider, taller than a person, that crashed to the ground. From it crawled a black-haired little girl who was even younger than Shazam's original form.
Then there was a woman wearing a red and blue striped uniform with a spider tattoo on her chest.
And another spider, also dressed in a red and blue spider uniform...::..
Oh, no, it's a pig.
