------------------------------------------------
Bang—
Spider-Gwen directly kicked the unprepared Soldier Boy flying, successfully interrupting his charging. Then, she crossed her hands in front of her, shooting out two crimson webs that stuck to Billy Butcher and Hughie Campbell's faces respectively.
"You…"
Homelander awkwardly got up from the ground, trying to suppress the anger welling up in his heart, and frowned at Spider-Gwen, "You're late!"
"No choice, we ran into some big trouble on the way."
Spider-Gwen spread her hands helplessly, then looked at Soldier Boy and the other two, and then at Homelander, who had a bloody nose, and couldn't help but tease him:
"Well, it looks like you've got big trouble here too!"
Homelander had already guessed that the reason Spider-Gwen was late was likely due to being intercepted by Billy Butcher's companions. Now, hearing her "confirm" it herself, the anger in his heart dissipated a bit. He then turned to Soldier Boy and the other two, grinning, and said:
"Alright, my people are all here now, we can start over!"
Homelander then raised a hand and pointed at Soldier Boy, turning his head to Spider-Gwen and saying, "That old guy is mine. You and your sidekick can choose the other two… Oh, and remember to win cleanly. There are two cameras in the dark broadcasting the whole thing."
With that, he rushed towards Soldier Boy, talking to himself. How did that saying go? A son beating his father, never stopping!
Spider-Gwen grumbled unhappily, "Bastard, Peter isn't my sidekick, he's a superhero, alright?"
"Hughie, quickly get that little bug out of here!"
As a CIA agent, when Billy Butcher saw the new member selection revealed by Homelander during his interview with The Daily Bugle on TV, he immediately searched for information about Spider-Woman through the CIA's internal network.
Her outstanding performance in combat left a deep impression on him.
So, he was somewhat wary of this exceptionally agile young woman.
"Leave it to me."
Hughie Campbell nodded confidently. The next second, he vanished from his spot and reappeared behind Spider-Gwen a few meters away.
However, just as he spread his arms, preparing to embrace her and teleport away from the Vought Corporation Tower again, the young woman in front of him, as if she had eyes in the back of her head, suddenly kicked him flying without any warning.
Bang—
Hughie Campbell's body slammed heavily against the wall, but before he could fall to the ground, incredibly tough crimson webs directly stuck him to the wall.
"Hmph, you pervert, you actually tried to ambush me from behind?"
Clearly, Gwen had successfully dodged Hughie Campbell's sneak attack thanks to the timely warning from her Spider-Sense.
Otherwise, she might have ended up like Billy Butcher, "disassembled" by the teleportation!
However, just as Gwen's Spider-Sense was the bane of Hughie Campbell's teleportation ability, Hughie Campbell's teleportation ability was also the bane of her webs!
As the latter's figure flickered, he had already successfully broken free from the webs' restraint and appeared on the other side. However, Hughie Campbell looked at Billy Butcher with a shocked expression, exclaiming:
"Did you see that? She… she actually managed to 'predict' the direction of my teleportation just now? How did she do it?"
"Hughie, don't worry, that was just a coincidence."
Billy Butcher quickly comforted him, "Don't think about useless things. We don't have much time left. We must deal with Homelander as soon as possible."
"Alright, I'll try again."
Hughie Campbell nodded helplessly, then activated his teleportation ability again to attack Spider-Gwen. However, the result was still the same this time.
In front of the nearly conceptual Spider-Sense, his instantaneous movement was no longer untraceable. Spider-Gwen was always able to make accurate judgments the moment his figure appeared.
And so… a comical scene unfolded.
Hughie Campbell teleported again and again, and then was sent flying again and again.
Although his physique had been exponentially enhanced under the effect of Temporary Compound V, Gwen's strength was also not to be underestimated, even several times stronger than the power he and Billy Butcher had gained.
So, Hughie Campbell's body quickly began to give out.
Blood flowed uncontrollably from his mouth and nose, clearly indicating severe internal organ damage.
"Damn little bug."
Billy Butcher, who was originally about to run over and team up with Soldier Boy against Homelander, had no choice but to stop and use his Cyclops to ambush Spider-Gwen.
But to his astonishment, even though Spider-Gwen had her back to him, she was able to make incredibly precise evasive maneuvers the moment he launched his attack.
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
WTF???
What the hell?
How did she do it?
Does she have eyes in the back of her head too?
It was only at this moment that Billy Butcher truly understood why Homelander valued this little spider so much.
This single, incredibly mystical 'danger prediction' ability alone was enough to give anyone fighting her a massive headache.
However, just as he was thinking about how to deal with Spider-Gwen, a muscular figure like a small mountain had already rushed in front of him.
Bang—
Billy Butcher was sent flying directly, but while he was flying backward in mid-air, his legs were wrapped by a thick lizard tail, pulling him hard into the air, and then—smashing him back and forth on the floor!!
Thump thump thump—
Lizard Peter yelled as he smashed, "Don't you dare lay a hand on my friend!!"
Sizzle—
Finally, Billy Butcher had to use his Cyclops beam to cut off the section of lizard tail wrapped around his calf, barely escaping the fate of being smashed to death.
"Fu*k, you damned ugly lizard!"
Just as Billy Butcher's eyes glowed with orange Cyclops beams, preparing to attack Lizard Peter, Hughie Campbell's weak call suddenly came from his side, "Cough cough cough… Billy, I might have to go first. If you survive, remember to visit Starlight for me… Cough cough cough, I'm sorry, I couldn't help you again this time!"
Hughie Campbell was impaled in mid-air by the two Hell Spider Spears from Spider-Gwen's back. The dark red light flickering on the Hell Spider Spears indicated that they were constantly draining Hughie Campbell's life force and completely immobilizing his teleportation ability, preventing him from activating it.
And after barely finishing those words, Hughie Campbell's head drooped weakly, his life extinguished, becoming a lifeless, cold corpse.
…
prestige points +188, +188, +88…
Detecting collectible soul, Warp soul count +1
…
Until the moment of death, Hughie Campbell still didn't know why the opponent could accurately predict the location of his teleportation, and why he couldn't activate his teleportation ability after his body was pierced by those two spider legs?
"You damned little bug, look what you've done?"
"Hughie was innocent, he shouldn't have met such an end… I'm going to skin you alive with my own hands today!!"
Seeing his most loyal sidekick killed, Billy Butcher was instantly filled with grief and indignation. He directly abandoned Lizard Peter and shot two orange Cyclops lasers at Spider-Gwen.
Sizzle sizzle—
Spider-Gwen nimbly dodged the Cyclops beams, then shot several crimson webs from her wrists, sticking them to Billy Butcher's mouth and nose, forcing him to abandon his attack and save himself.
And just as the opponent raised his hand to tear off the webs on his face, Lizard Peter suddenly pounced from behind, his arms, thicker than a normal person's thigh, firmly pinning Billy Butcher's upper body, preventing his arms from moving even an inch.
"Sir, I'm sorry, there's actually no grudge between us, and I don't want to kill you… But if you have to blame someone, blame yourself for attacking my friend!!"
Billy Butcher began to struggle violently, but he still couldn't break free from Lizard Peter's restraint. He could only wildly twist his neck to release his Cyclops, attempting to create an opportunity to escape.
"Hey, Billy, I made the Novichok…"
At this moment, Frenchie rushed into the studio hall excitedly, holding a gas canister with a simple breathing mask. However, the next second, he was cut in half by a Cyclops beam coming from the front, and blood and internal organs instantly splattered everywhere.
"Butcher, what the hell are you doing???"
Marvin, who rushed in a step slower, was shocked by the sight and quickly went to check on Frenchie, but found that he was beyond dead. A wave of grief and indignation immediately rose in his heart.
"I'll kill you!!"
Seeing his friend die in front of him, Marvin blamed everything on Billy Butcher.
This scumbag first caused Kimiko to lose her superpowers and almost die, then colluded with Soldier Boy to deceive him, and now directly killed Frenchie…
Marvin didn't care if the other party did it on purpose. He immediately raised his shotgun and pulled the trigger on Billy Butcher.
Bang bang—
Although the bullets failed to penetrate Billy Butcher's body, they still left large bloodstains on his skin.
However, for Billy Butcher at the moment, these minor injuries on his body were nothing. What truly threatened his life was the thick layer of webs Spider-Gwen had stuck to his mouth and nose.
Even though Temporary Compound V had given him superpowers and a superhuman physique capable of fighting Homelander head-on, he still hadn't transcended the human realm…
In other words, he would still die if he remained in a state of oxygen deprivation for too long!!
But Lizard Peter behind him was incredibly strong. Even after taking two shotgun kinetic impacts head-on with him just now, his feet didn't budge an inch.
This showed the immense power.
So, even though Billy Butcher was putting all his effort into it, he still couldn't break free from the opponent's restraint.
In desperation, he no longer cared if he had accidentally injured his teammates just now, and could only continue to activate his Cyclops, sweeping wildly.
Sizzle sizzle—
Puff puff—
Another victim appeared.
Kimiko, who was originally fighting Queen Maeve, lost all will to fight after seeing Frenchie's tragic state and rushed over, looking distraught.
She had always liked Frenchie the most in the team, and even confessed to him during the time she lost her superpowers.
However, what she didn't know was that Frenchie was actually an openly gay man and didn't like women.
But Kimiko had only run halfway when, like Frenchie, she was split in half by a sudden Cyclops beam from behind.
Bang bang—
Fearing that Kimiko would revive again, Queen Maeve quickly stepped forward and delivered a kick to each half of her split head.
"Hmph, let's see how you revive this time?"
This time, Queen Maeve waited for nearly half a minute, and still saw no signs of Kimiko's corpse recovering, only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
If even a body split open and a head crushed could recover, then this fight would truly be unwinnable.
Then Queen Maeve looked at Marvin, who had been silent since just now, and said in an unfriendly tone:
"If you don't want to die, get out of here immediately… If you want to avenge her, then come at me!"
…
Marvin's expression changed several times. First, he looked at the tragic state of Frenchie and Kimiko on the ground, then at Billy Butcher, who was still struggling desperately but gradually losing strength, and finally, his gaze fixed on Soldier Boy, who was locked in a fierce battle with Homelander. He gritted his teeth and said:
"Both of them died because of that selfish bastard Billy Butcher. I won't help him, and I won't attack you anymore… But I want to see Soldier Boy die in front of me, because he killed my family in the past!"
As he spoke, he picked up the Novichok scattered on the ground and handed it to Queen Maeve, while continuing to say:
"This contains a super neurotoxin, Novichok, that can completely paralyze Soldier Boy. As soon as that bastard inhales it, he'll collapse, and then you can finish him off!!"
Queen Maeve didn't say much, just took the breathing device with a strange expression, and then rushed towards Homelander's side.
Seizing the opportunity, she pounced on Soldier Boy from behind like a hunting leopardess when he wasn't looking, and directly clamped the breathing mask containing Novichok neurotoxin onto his face.
"Old bastard, you're long past your prime. This era doesn't need scum like you at all, so… obediently turn back into your 'mummy' for me!!"
