Darian was indeed not spouting nonsense.
If a Master were present and observed closely, he would notice a layer of special energy attached to the surface of every bullet.
This was a skill Darian learned from the Queen, a basic application of magic.
Simply put, it was like enchantment in a game, using energy to greatly enhance the bullets' lethality.
But Green Goblin didn't see it that way.
If any two guns could be called magic, then New York would be crawling with magicians, wouldn't it!?
Nevertheless, Green Goblin personally experienced the powerful might of these bullets.
If his body, strengthened by the Super Soldier Serum, hadn't been tough enough, and if the exoSkeleton armor hadn't offset most of the power, these bullets would have severely wounded him long ago!
Green Goblin endured the intense pain, his gaze locked onto Darian: "What exactly are you!?"
Darian chuckled: "Mr. Osborn, it seems you no longer need the Life Potion. What a pity, I just developed a new flavor of Life Potion and was about to let you try it."
"Life Potion?"
Green Goblin's pupils contracted, and he asked in surprise: "Are you…?"
Seeing that the other party had already guessed the answer, Darian no longer concealed it, nodding: "That's right, I am actually the embodiment of your good personality!"
Green Goblin: "..."
What the hell is a good personality!
As the evil personality born within Norman Osborn, how could he not know there was also a good personality?
Green Goblin naturally wouldn't believe such nonsense, gritting his teeth and saying: "So it was you! Dr. Darian!"
He should have thought of it sooner!
Darian's mysterious disappearance from the Osborn Group, followed by the group's theft, made it hard for him not to connect the two incidents.
It couldn't really be Stane transforming into a ghoul and hunting in the Osborn Group, could it?
"You shameless thief! Liar! I'll kill you!"
At this moment, the main personality, Norman, suddenly regained control of his body, glaring at Darian with eyes spitting fire.
He had originally hoped to prolong his life with Darian's Life Potion, but who knew the guy suddenly packed up and ran away!
Feeling his days were numbered, he had no choice but to take the risk and inject the untested replica Super Soldier Serum.
Hopes shattered, coupled with the theft of research results.
At this moment, Norman harbored immense resentment towards Darian!
This strong hatred even allowed him to temporarily break through the suppression of Green Goblin, the evil personality!
But soon, the Green Goblin personality regained the upper hand.
He was not the main personality and didn't care about Darian running away. Besides, if Darian hadn't run away, forcing Norman into a corner to inject the replica Super Soldier Serum, his evil personality wouldn't have been born.
In a way, Green Goblin even had to thank Darian.
"Don't mind what I just said."
Green Goblin narrowed his eyes and said amicably: "Dr. Darian, we can actually team up. With our minds and strength, we can create a new future, lording over everyone. Why fight to the death here?"
Green Goblin had said these words to Spider-Man too, but he was rejected.
Now, he extended the same olive branch to Darian.
The Norman personality resurfaced once more, roaring in exasperation: "Don't team up! Kill him for me! You coward!"
Green Goblin: "..."
Norman, you're being a bit extreme.
Darian nodded: "What you said does make sense."
Green Goblin's heart filled with joy: "Right? As long as the two of us team up and get rid of Spider-Man, we can rule—"
"But I refuse!"
"..."
Green Goblin's face instantly turned as dark as Water, his tone chillingly cold: "So, there's nothing to discuss?"
Darian chuckled: "You're the evil personality, I'm the good personality. We have nothing to discuss in the first place."
You're really getting into the act, aren't you!
Seeing that cooperation was hopeless, Green Goblin stopped talking nonsense and stomped on his glider, charging towards Darian!
Darian decisively raised his gun and fired.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three energy bullets arrived instantly, piercing through the exoSkeleton armor and leaving several bloody holes on Green Goblin's body.
But Green Goblin ignored them, protecting his head with his arms. The glider's engine roared, accelerating at full power, and the turbocharger unleashed immense thrust, rushing to Darian's front at an astonishing speed!
Swoosh!
A sharp blade extended from Green Goblin's arm gauntlet, creating a fierce whooshing sound as it viciously slashed towards Darian's head!
In his opinion, a scrawny scientist like Darian surely wouldn't be good at close combat.
As long as he successfully engaged in close combat, Darian would definitely not be his opponent!
Just as Green Goblin was thinking this, an elbow suddenly rapidly enlarged before his eyes!
"Thai Boxing Warning!"
Thump!
The unprepared Green Goblin was violently struck in the face by this powerful elbow strike!
Under the immense force, he flew off the glider like a bird with broken wings, plummeting straight down!
Boom!!
Accompanied by a huge sound.
Green Goblin fell from dozens of meters high, crashing heavily onto the Queens Bridge!
"Ah! My back!"
Green Goblin screamed, clutching his back in pain.
Even with Green Goblin's powerful physique, this fall was enough to make him suffer.
Green Goblin struggled to get up, only to see a dark gun barrel pressed against his forehead.
"You lost, Green Goblin."
Darian stood before Green Goblin, holding the golden desert eagle in his hand.
Firing at this range, even if Green Goblin's head was hard, the bullet would instantly pierce through it.
After all, he wasn't the Diamond Leg from back then.
Green Goblin was unwilling to be captured so easily, and he said in a strange tone: "Do you think you can win like this?"
As he spoke, the glider floated in the air, its two gun barrels slowly rotating, aiming at the panicked crowd on the Queens Bridge.
This scene was almost identical to what Peter had just encountered!
Green Goblin grinned, cackling: "Now I give you two choices: either let me go, or let these innocent people…"
"Achoo!"
Darian suddenly sneezed, his gun barrel twitched, and a bullet grazed Green Goblin's head, taking a chunk of flesh with it.
"My apologies, my hand slipped. What were you trying to say just now?"
Green Goblin: "..."
Clearly, Darian was not Spider-Man.
Of Green Goblin's two choices, he chose neither!
Green Goblin was momentarily stuck, unsure whether to continue.
If he continued, he feared Darian's hand might slip again and give him a headshot.
After all, Darian really dared to shoot!
Darian didn't waste words, directly raising the gun stock and forcefully smashing it onto Green Goblin's head!
But Green Goblin's head was too hard; one hit didn't knock him out. So Darian raised the gun stock again and smashed down.
After smashing him about a dozen times, Green Goblin finally fainted.
It wasn't that he was knocked out, but Darian suddenly remembered that this exoSkeleton armor could also spray a powerful anesthetic, effective enough to knock out an adult elephant for several days, which was perfect for dealing with Inhumans like Green Goblin with strong physical qualities.
Hmm, he really just happened to forget.
Darian threw the unconscious Green Goblin onto the glider, then controlled the glider as it roared through the night sky, flying into the distance.
Below on the bridge, the crowd who had witnessed the entire event erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.
"Well done!"
"Is this a new Super Hero? What's his name?"
"I don't know. Since he looks so much like Green Goblin, let's call him Ghoul!"
Everyone looked up, their gazes following Darian and the glider as they flew away, excitedly discussing among themselves.
Peter, still dangling in mid-air: "..."
Is no one going to speak up for me?
