----------

Led by the radical Peter Porker, the atmosphere before the battle immediately intensified.

Gwen looked around, her gaze sweeping over everyone who was ready for battle, and she immediately noticed something important.

"Hey, Kaito, where's your suit?" She quickly circled Kaito.

"You're not just going to fight in that trench coat, are you?"

Everyone's focus shifted. Kaito pointed to the crowd: "I'm not the only one wearing a trench coat, am I?"

"My world isn't as colorful as this one. Black and darkness are the main colors, and wearing a black coat makes it easiest to hide myself," Shadow Spider-Man explained, shrugging, "So this is my suit."

MCU Peter, who had been the first to meet Kaito, couldn't help but recall, stroking his chin, "Until now, I don't think I've ever seen your suit, Kaito."

"No way, no way, you don't have one, do you?"

"Heh…"

Kaito narrowed his eyes and snapped his fingers.

"Who are you looking down on?"

Absolute Terror Field deployed!

Amidst the full light and shadow effects, a gold and red Spider-Suit unfolded from Kaito's feet, spreading upwards to cover his entire body.

Blinding flames shot out from the thrusters on his back, feet, and palms, and the onlookers felt a wave of heat wash over them.

"Nanotechnology?"

Seeing the cool yet familiar scene before him, MCU Peter's eyes widened, and he finally understood what it meant to only appreciate something once it was lost.

"Pain! So much pain!"

Although the others didn't have his complex feelings, most of them were also stunned.

Everyone else had handmade, poor-man's suits, but you suddenly pulled out a high-tech suit that looked very advanced…

Everyone present, except for Peni Parker who had her own mech, expressed disdain for someone's flashy transformation.

While playing and joking, everyone didn't forget the main task.

Under the night sky, a figure soared into the sky, followed closely by seven agile figures, rushing towards Brooklyn on the opposite bank.

Fisk Tower, underground.

Kingpin stood in front of the glass curtain wall of the control room, feeling an inexplicable unease in his heart, and subconsciously glanced at the ceiling of the underground space.

An ominous premonition surged into his heart. The emotionless King of New York's underworld suddenly gave an order.

"Now, immediately, right now, start the machine for me."

The surrounding researchers uniformly looked up, only seeing their boss's immensely broad back.

"But Dr. Octopus hasn't arrived yet, should we…"

"I don't want to repeat myself."

The indifferent words and Tombstone's silent gaze were like two sharp knives. The researcher who had bravely raised his hand immediately acted like an ostrich: "Yes, boss!"

Rumble, rumble, rumble…

Amidst the engine noise, the super-large particle collider slowly started up like a waking beast.

The giant muzzle began to accumulate energy, and colorful particle streams reflected on Kingpin's expressionless face, actually reflecting a hint of urgency.

"Sorry, am I late?" Dr. Octopus's voice rang out. She took a white research coat from the wardrobe by the door, put it on neatly, and walked quickly, "Increase the energy parameters of the alpha particles, raise the rotation speed… Never mind, move aside, I'll operate it from here."

Seeing Dr. Octopus enter her work state with extreme professionalism, Kingpin retracted his gaze and continued to wait.

"I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

Gwen narrowed her eyes, looking at Kaito who had suddenly descended to fly beside everyone, and shot a web line to propel herself forward, saying unhappily, "At this point, why are you playing coy? Hurry up and tell us!"

The other Spider-Men nodded in agreement, indicating that he could fly without back pain, but they had to constantly repeat the process of raising their hands, shooting, and swinging.

"Alright then," Kaito opened his faceplate and shrugged, "First, the bad news: Kingpin has already started the collider, and the experiment is about to begin."

Peni Parker chewed bubblegum and blew a bubble, asking from inside her round Spider-Mech, "What's the good news?"

"The good news is that I can take one person and accelerate over there. We should be able to stop them before the experiment begins."

"Take me!" x 7

MCU Peter questioned, "Hey, why can you only take one? Your suit's performance should be perfectly fine with a few more people, right?"

"Because it would violate New York's personal flight vehicle passenger regulations." Kaito casually made up an excuse, while grabbing Gwen, who was closest to him, "Ladies first, we're heading out."

Boom—

A violent sonic boom suddenly erupted. The Spider-Men were blown dusty by the explosive airflow. After finally stabilizing themselves in the air, they all cursed and spat at the rapidly departing figure.

"Wait," at this moment, only MCU Peter was still struggling, "Is there really such a regulation?"

In the sky.

Gwen, held in Kaito's arms, anticipated the sudden acceleration and subconsciously closed her eyes, gripping Kaito's shoulders. Yet, though the wind howled around them, the airflow was as stable as if they were strolling down the street.

She opened her eyes and then saw a barrier constructed of a polygonal force field enveloping them both. The high-speed airflow was completely blocked, unable to affect the two in flight in the slightest.

"Actually, Peter was right," Gwen relaxed and took off her mask, "Why not bring a few more? Kingpin has more than one superhuman thug!"

"It's fine, just the two of us are enough," Kaito looked at the Fisk Tower already in sight, guaranteeing, "We'll just rush straight into the basement and guarantee a chaotic slaughter."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, you handle the rush, and I'll handle the 'chaotic slaughter'."

"…" Gwen was speechless, then frowned, "What did you just say? How do we get in? Do we not need to sneak in?"

"Sneak in? Alright!" Kaito glanced at the ground, calibrating his position, "This flight is about to land, hold on tight!"

Gwen looked at the approaching ground, her mouth slightly agape.

Ground.

A Kingpin thug, working as a part-time security guard, looked up in confusion at the constantly falling meteor, even taking off his security hat: "What is th… Run!!"

Boom—

A corner of the building exploded on impact. Rubble, glass, steel alloys, a large amount of architectural debris flew into the sky with the explosion, raining down!

Screams were drowned out by the thunderous explosion. The building was continuously pierced through five floors, starting from the third-floor glass curtain wall, all the way to the basement!

At this moment, the building above ground was empty, only many on-duty Kingpin security guards were unfortunate, buried under the falling construction materials.

The Drill formed by the AT Field was astonishingly strong, and supersonic flight carried immense kinetic energy.

At this moment, Kaito was like a high-density carbon-core armor-piercing bullet; any obstacle in front of him was trash.

Once hit, it would be instantly pierced through!
