Gwen had already seen the elevator, and just then, a Shadow suddenly flew past them, smashing the elevator to pieces.
With a loud bang, the Shadow violently slammed into the elevator door.
Amidst the screeching sounds of twisting metal and shattering glass, the previously intact elevator instantly became unrecognizable and fragmented.
Crunch, crunch…
Behind them, the horrifying sound of bones being chewed could be heard.
Only then did the three of them clearly see that the Shadow was the headless body of Beheading Demon.
"Where do you think you're going, my food?"
Slaughter Demon's voice came, his footsteps like heavy hammers, pounding on their heartstrings one by one.
"Octopus Lady, Damian is with you, there should be other passages, take him away, I'll stop him."
Gwen decisively pushed Damian into Octopus Lady's arms.
Damian held Gwen's hand tightly, not letting go.
"Gwen, My Lord, no."
"Go!"
Octopus Lady glanced at her and said firmly, "I will take good care of him from now on."
After speaking, she held Damian and ran in another direction.
Slaughter Demon extended his long tongue and licked his lips, revealing sharp fangs, looking like a fiend from hell.
"Aren't you running?" he asked playfully.
This place was not suitable for battle; she had to return to the Underground Room from before.
Gwen thought to herself, without answering.
Two spider-webs instantly shot towards Slaughter Demon's face, obstructing his vision, and Gwen took the opportunity to pass by him, running towards the previous Underground Room.
"That's right, just like that, fear will make your brain more delicious, hahaha."
Slaughter Demon's terrifying laughter came from behind, and Gwen, hearing it, gritted her teeth and quickened her pace.
Carnage's speed was very fast, and Gwen couldn't keep up at all.
But fortunately, his attack speed was not as fast as his movement speed, and this guy was also very arrogant.
Gwen quickly calculated in her mind, planning to defeat him from this angle.
"Little Spider, you can't escape!" Slaughter Demon roared wildly from behind.
Gwen ignored him, focusing entirely on devising a countermeasure.
The Underground Room was not far away; as long as she could reach it, with the familiar terrain, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
Her breathing became more rapid, her heart pounded like a drum, but her eyes grew increasingly resolute.
Gwen quickly arrived at the center of the Underground Room, stopped, and turned to face the relentlessly approaching Slaughter Demon.
"Not running anymore, Little Spider?"
"I won't run anymore, I will defeat you here."
"With what? That cannon from before? If I'm not mistaken, that can only be used once!"
Gwen said nothing, shot a web at Slaughter Demon, pulled, and like a spring, kicked Slaughter Demon.
"Too slow!"
Slaughter Demon said disdainfully, knowing he had guessed correctly because she hadn't used the cannon from before.
He held his blade horizontally and slashed towards Gwen, vowing to cut her in half.
Just as Gwen's body was about to be cut, a strong gust of wind blew upwards, and Gwen brushed past the blade.
"Wind… Ugh!"
Slaughter Demon was kicked away before he could finish speaking, and Gwen, without stopping, rushed behind Slaughter Demon to attack again.
A red afterimage flashed, and Gwen was sent flying.
"You just got lucky and hit me once."
Slaughter Demon raised his twin blades, his body transforming into an afterimage and disappearing from his original spot.
Countless slashes of light flashed.
Gwen's body, where there was no armor, began to show damage, and although the Ghost Suit was constantly repairing itself, it couldn't keep up with the rate of destruction.
"What's wrong? Didn't you say you were going to defeat me?"
Slaughter Demon's taunting voice echoed around Gwen, and her White suit gradually became stained with blood.
"Shut up! I will definitely defeat you and avenge everyone!"
Gwen had lost her mind, furiously attacking the red afterimages around her.
Whenever she thought she was about to hit her target, all that greeted her was empty air and shattered floor debris.
Bang, bang, bang…
"Hahaha, poor Spider-Man, are you going to cry?"
Slaughter Demon toyed with Gwen, his blade only cutting her skin, not important parts like her neck or head.
After shattering the last piece of the floor, Gwen finally collapsed from exhaustion.
Slaughter Demon finally revealed his form.
"Oh, Little Spider, are you giving up already? You were so close to taking me down."
Slaughter Demon walked up to Gwen, poked her with his foot, got no response, then kicked her away.
"Get up! Didn't you say you were going to defeat me?"
Gwen tumbled in the rubble, then shakily stood up.
"Cough, cough… cough…"
"That's right, this is Spider-Man, no matter how many times he falls, he always gets up in the end, and in My World, Spider-Man was also the one who stood until the end.
You know what? I like Spider-Man, because Spider-Man tastes the best of everyone, hahaha!"
Slaughter Demon laughed wildly.
"Is that so? Too bad you won't get to eat it."
"What!!!"
A strong gust of wind suddenly rose from under Slaughter Demon's feet, blowing him into the air, and then a tornado appeared out of nowhere, engulfing Slaughter Demon.
Several tentacles extended from Slaughter Demon's back, trying to pierce the floor to stabilize his body.
However, the tentacles only shattered a few stones before being swept into the tornado as well.
"You've been plotting against me since then! So what? I can break free from this kind of tornado in ten seconds, you can't escape, I will eat you up little by little until nothing is left."
Slaughter Demon roared furiously.
This was the first time he had been toyed with by someone.
"Who said I was running?"
Gwen placed her hands flat on her chest. The spider pattern on her chest armor glowed faintly.
The armor seemed to have a life of its own, rapidly deforming and reassembling.
In the blink of an eye, a massive and formidable cannon muzzle formed on Gwen's arms, from which a heart-pounding energy fluctuation faintly emanated.
"Wait, I…"
Slaughter Demon, when pointed at by the black, gaping muzzle, was instantly filled with intense fear and unease.
"Thunder Roar Cannon, fire!"
As the words fell, two thick, incomparably powerful lightning beams erupted from the muzzle, like two roaring giant dragons, rushing towards Slaughter Demon with World-destroying force.
Wherever they passed, the air was torn apart, emitting piercing explosive sounds.
The lightning beam rushed towards Slaughter Demon with astonishing speed, instantly engulfing him.
The powerful energy impact caused the entire Underground Room to tremble, and stones fell one after another.
A moment later, the light of the lightning gradually dissipated, revealing a figure charred black and severely damaged, lying on the ground.
He struggled to lift his head, his eyes filled with disbelief and rage.
"You… you actually… still have…"
Gwen looked at the still-alive Slaughter Demon, not letting her guard down in the slightest.
The massive cannon muzzle she had been holding suddenly detached, transforming rapidly like a Transformer into a sturdy chest plate, tightly protecting her vital chest area.
She squatted down, her arms placed at her sides, and her leg armor instantly transformed into two smaller muzzles, aimed at Slaughter Demon.
"Double Blazing Cannon!"
With Gwen's angry roar, two dazzling flames erupted from the muzzles.
"Three… you… you…"
Slaughter Demon was completely engulfed by the flames before he could finish speaking.
In the raging fire, Slaughter Demon's figure gradually blurred until it disappeared.
Gwen's taut body finally relaxed, and she gasped for air, sweat trickling down her cheeks and dripping onto the ground.
But her eyes remained vigilant, in case Slaughter Demon had any hidden tricks.
After a long while, confirming that Slaughter Demon had been completely annihilated, Gwen finally slumped weakly to the ground, her strained nerves finally finding a moment of relief.
[Warning: Energy remaining 5%, Thunder Roar Cannon, Double Blazing Cannon, recovery time 2h.]
Drip!
Gwen's mask slowly opened.
She had defeated the enemy, but she couldn't feel happy at all.
The spider-sense, which allowed them to perceive each other's locations, had disappeared; all the Spider-Men, except her, were Dead.
They died on the last step of the way home.
The particle collider was also destroyed, the Spider-Men were also Dead, and Beheading Demon was also Dead.
With so many people Dead, what exactly had she protected?
"No, I must pull myself together. Spider-Man never falls. I have to go find Damian."
Gwen gritted her teeth, cheering herself on, and propped herself up on the rubble, trying to stand.
"Truly amazing, Spider-Man, you are the strongest Spider-Man I have ever encountered."
Clap, clap, clap!
Accompanied by a round of applause, Norman appeared, dressed in a suit and tie.
"You, why are you still alive?!"
Gwen stared in disbelief at the figure who had appeared before her, her eyes wide, her face filled with shock and anger.
Gwen then looked at the spot where Norman had previously died.
"That? I occasionally found a researcher, I think his name was Jonathan Ornstein, he was Kingpin's subordinate in this World."
Norman said with a slight smile.
"When did you switch?"
Gwen stared intently at Norman, her eyes filled with despair.
"After killing that Demon, this trick works really well, using Carnage to manipulate others, to test the trump cards and stamina of you heroes.
This trick works every time in My World, some heroes even get eaten by Carnage before I even show up."
Norman said, walking to the spot where Slaughter Demon had died, and a sticky red liquid appeared, crawling up his leg and covering his entire body.
Slaughter Demon returned!
"I've answered so many of your questions, how about you answer me once? One shot from the arm cannon, one from the chest plate, one from the leg armor, how many do you have left?"
"…You can try and find out."
Gwen's face was bitter; in fact, she had two shots left, but her body was no longer able to fight, and with Slaughter Demon's speed, it would be impossible to hit him.
"Don't want to say? Anyway, with your current state, more cannons are useless. When I kill you, I'll study your suit thoroughly."
Slaughter Demon didn't have Norman's patience; he suddenly erupted and slashed towards Gwen.
Gwen looked at Slaughter Demon rushing towards her, thinking to herself: If I had known this, I would have let Qinuo eat him earlier.
Screech—
A piercing braking sound.
Slaughter Demon's feet left two grooves as he stopped just in time, narrowly.
He looked at the man who had suddenly appeared from behind with an unreadable expression.
"Who are you?"
"Sorry, I'm late."
Qinuo ignored him, looking at the disheveled Gwen in front of him.
"No, you came just in time."
Gwen looked at Qinuo's pained eyes, her voice trembling slightly, tears constantly streaming down her face.
At this moment, the Spider-Suit also deactivated due to lack of energy, revealing her body covered in wounds, each one shocking to behold.
"Then why are you crying?"
Qinuo took out a Limb Regeneration Potion and injected it into Gwen. In a short while, Gwen's wounds began to heal.
He hadn't expected the time difference between the two sides; what was a few minutes in his eyes had been over ten hours here.
"Because I didn't protect Damian, Beheading Demon is also Dead, and the Spider-Men are also, all Dead, boo hoo hoo…"
Gwen buried her face in Qinuo's embrace, sobbing loudly, her body trembling uncontrollably from grief.
If she had quietly waited for Qinuo to come, they wouldn't have Died. If she hadn't paid attention to the spider-sense, they wouldn't have Died. There are no ifs… they are all Dead.
Gwen's cries were filled with endless regret and self-blame, "It's all my fault, I harmed them…"
"Too arrogant! I'll cut you both into pieces!"
Slaughter Demon roared furiously, burning with rage at having never been so utterly ignored.
He squatted slightly, and the ground beneath his feet instantly cracked, transforming into an afterimage as he charged towards them.
"Quiet," Qinuo said calmly.
Slaughter Demon froze eerily in mid-air, as if a pause button had been pressed. The ferocious expression on his face instantly solidified, and his body was unable to move.
Qinuo used his super vision to look around; the four Spider-Men were still barely breathing, though their breaths were faint, their lives hanging by a thread.
The little girl in the control room was already lifeless.
Damian, holding a woman hostage, was rushing towards them.
"Why are you crying? Did you forget My title? I am the Demon King."
Qinuo's gentle voice reminded Gwen that her boyfriend was a true Demon King who ruled hell.
"Then they…"
Gwen looked up, her eyes teary, gazing at Qinuo with anticipation.
"The three male Spider-Men and one pig are still alive. The little girl is already Dead, but she can be revived. Beheading Demon is in the process of reviving in hell."
"Thank you, Qinuo, thank you so much."
"You're welcome, here you go, the instructions are on them, but if you don't hurry, they'll really be Dead."
Qinuo took out the Limb Regeneration Potion and the Resurrection Potion and handed them to Gwen.
"I'll go right away."
Gwen, holding the potions, ran towards the corner.
After Gwen left, Qinuo turned his head to look at Slaughter Demon.
"Then it's your turn."
His voice was icy cold, as if from the deepest abyss of the Nine Netherworlds.
Upon arriving and seeing Gwen in such a miserable state, Qinuo's anger surged like a volcano about to erupt, hot and violent.
An endless despair welled up in Slaughter Demon's heart. He tried to struggle but found himself utterly unable to move under Qinuo's biological force field.
"Please… spare me."
Slaughter Demon uttered a few words with difficulty, his voice filled with fear and pleading.
"I heard you're very good at eating, is that right?"
"Yes, yes, My Lord, I will do whatever you like."
