Chapter 339 The Ruler of Fear
The black fear instantly swept across the world.
For a moment, it seemed as if endless darkness enveloped the world, and fear was like a cold wind blowing from the poles, freezing the seven seas in an instant and bringing a haze to the whole world.
New York, Manhattan area.
A completely dark space enveloped the entire city. From the outside, it looked like a pure black sphere. Inside the space, everyone seemed to be crazy, with red and bloodshot eyes, and they frantically picked up weapons to destroy everything.
The desire for destruction brought about by fear fills everyone's heart. These people seem to have lost their minds, as if they have suddenly encountered the biggest thing in their lives. Even escape is a luxury, and they can only madly attack everything around them.
bang bang bang! ! !
Gunfire continued.
Those who are strong on the outside but weak on the inside have already picked up guns and are attacking indiscriminately on the streets. Cars on the road are rear-ending one another, and the flames of explosions are setting buildings on fire...
Those without weapons could only flee madly, praying that a hero would appear and save them.
However, neither the Tiangong Association nor the special forces team took any action!
It's not just ordinary people who are affected by fear...
Peter was still flying in the sky above New York, but the next moment, as the power of fear spread, his spider silk launcher suddenly failed and fell directly from the sky, causing cracks to appear on the asphalt road on the surface...
"My back..."
He quickly supported his old waist and stood up. In fact, his back was fine. The special battle suit on his body contained a large amount of vibranium, which could absorb the impact. Not only did he not feel any pain, but he felt a stuffy feeling instead.
But he was very confused, so he lowered his head and started trying to repair the transmitter in the street.
"How could the transmitter be broken—"
Boom!
Before he could finish his words, everything in front of him went dark. A truck weighing dozens of tons came rushing towards him, carrying Peter directly into the mobile building.
This is really lucky!
Peter was knocked down two walls in a row, and then was stuck alive between the front of the truck and the building, unable to move.
He is fine, but you can also say that he is in trouble.
"The spider sense didn't trigger..." Peter's face suddenly became panicked under the mask. If it was just that the spider sense didn't trigger, it wouldn't be a big deal. His "Peter's Sense" didn't work from time to time. But the problem was...
I can't push this truck?!
At this moment, an absurd and terrible idea emerged in Peter's mind.
"I lost my super powers..."
Peter's face turned very ugly, if he didn't have super powers, then what was he?
If I were not Spider-Man, wouldn't I go back to the past and become the unknown and inconspicuous Peter Parker?
"Do not……"
He wailed in despair.
At this time, a teasing voice sounded in Peter's ears.
"No? Let's see what happened to the poor little spider."
A green shadow swooped down on a hang glider. His movements were flexible, and he dodged obstacles like a skier. Finally, he landed lightly in front of the truck.
Peter looked through the gap, and a hint of joy appeared on his desperate face for a moment.
"Harry?!"
"It's so nice to see you. Please save me. My superpowers are no longer effective for some reason... I suspect there's something wrong with Xiaoban's Advanced Spider Superpower Potion..."
"I'm glad too, Peter."
Harry was standing on the glider, and for some reason, the sound seemed strange to Peter.
Even the familiar Green Goblin mask made Peter feel a little scared.
"I'm so glad I could kill you with my own hands!"
"What did you say?"
Peter was stunned, but before he could ask any questions, Harry took out the pumpkin bomb and threw it at Peter.
"Die, Peter Parker!"
"You are not my friend at all. You and Bant are both bastards who watched someone die without helping. You asked for this!"
"boom!!!"
The high-yield pumpkin bomb exploded with a loud bang, and the flames and impact of the explosion ignited the truck's fuel tank. In an instant, a series of explosions sounded, and flames and smoke engulfed hundreds of square meters in an instant.
In the flames, Harry's crazy laughter sounded like a devil!
……
"Calm down, Dr. Banner..."
Tiangong space station.
In the small conference room, Norman, Otto and Banner gathered together, but unlike the situation a few minutes ago, the distance between the three of them was now very far. Norman and Otto were both pale, and they raised their hands to try to calm Banner, whose skin was a little blue not far away.
"Take a deep breath, Banner. Don't be fooled by the memories in your head. They are all illusions..."
Norman Osborn said, breathing heavily.
Judging from his expression, he had obviously been through the same situation as Banner.
In that moment just now, Norman's memory was obviously wrong, so that he seemed to have seen another completely different past - a past in which his genetic disease was not cured at all, his company was taken away, and he eventually went crazy...
He almost lost control. It seemed as if there was another evil voice in his heart calling on him to kill, destroy, and commit all kinds of evil!
Fortunately, just when he was about to get lost in this memory, Banner almost lost control.
Out of fear of the Hulk, that angry roar directly woke Norman Osborn up.
He didn't know what had happened, but it was obvious that all this must be related to the enemy attacking the earth.
If both he and Banner were affected, what about Otto? What about the others?
Thinking of this, Norman couldn't help but look at Otto: "Are you okay, Otto?"
Otto looked much better than the other two. The only thing he seemed to be worried about was that Banner might go berserk. He said as a matter of course, "What can happen to me?"
"Why are you wearing a skirt if you're fine?!"
Norman felt like he was going blind.
Can you imagine a slightly fat man wearing a skirt and high heels, even a deep-necked "V" skirt, revealing a lot of chest hair, and wearing heavy makeup?
It was like walking into the Big Bird bar!
Norman's words annoyed Otto. He blushed and roared, "Wait, are you laughing at me?! Do you think I'm a sissy and a homosexual?! I'm warning you, I have a wife and children!!!"
"If you don't want others to think you're a sissy, why do you dress like this?!"
Norman felt very tired.
He didn't figure out what was going on... Otto had already pulled up his skirt and wanted to rush up to fight him, and at this time Banner became even more violent.
He roared, and the sound waves he released made Norman and Otto stand unsteadily as if they were standing in the center of a storm.
At this moment, Banner's body has swelled a lot, his head is almost touching the ceiling, his bulging muscles have torn his shirt, and his ferocious face looks like he wants to swallow Norman and Otto alive.
"Shut up!!!"
Bang bang bang!
The sound shattered all the glass in the room, and also made Norman and Otto, who was wearing heavy makeup, calm down quickly.
Damn it, if we don’t deal with this big guy, all the plumbers and electricians in the Tiangong Space Station will die!
"Shoot the big guy with a cold arrow, the sun has already set..." Otto repeated a classic move, but unfortunately, no matter how seductively he was dressed, he was still a shemale... Not only was it useless, but it made Banner even more out of control. His fist, which was bigger than a basketball, instantly flattened a machine, as easily as crushing a can.
"You want to imprison me!"
Banner glared at Norman and Otto angrily, but his words left them confused.
"what?"
"Don't think I don't know. You tricked me into this space station just to find a place to imprison me!"
"As soon as I lose control, you will immediately take action and blow this place up, or just throw me down from here! You want to kill me!"
Banner growled.
"Wait, Banner, you chose to stay here, remember?" Otto frowned, "It was your own choice, no one forced you!"
"No!"
"You think I'm a monster!!!"
Banner rushed towards the two of them angrily, and with a sweep of his arm, everything seemed as fragile as paper.
Norman and Otto didn't think twice and ran away.
He runs away from him and chases him.
Fortunately, the two were not far from the exit. Norman quickly activated the vibranium protective wall, and then at the moment the vibranium gate fell, he pulled Otto and slid out from under the gate.
Boom! ! !
The thick vibranium wall behind him was gleaming from being smashed by Hulk's power.
The two men survived the disaster, and Otto angrily scolded him: "Is this guy mentally ill? Didn't he want to work in the space station?"
However, Norman was thoughtful: "Hulk has always been the thing that Dr. Banner fears the most. He is afraid of himself and afraid that everyone will regard him as a monster..."
Thinking about what he had seen, he seemed to have a clue in an instant.
"The enemy is using our fear to defeat us. His power is so strong that it has affected reality to a certain extent and changed some things."
"Am I afraid of becoming a woman? Isn't this ridiculous?" Otto said in disbelief.
"Who knows, maybe it's because you heard from Ben that there is a female version of Otto Octavian in a parallel universe," said Norman.
That way everything fits in.
"What the hell! I need to change my clothes first!" Dr. Otto ran away in her high heels.
Norman sighed and immediately became distressed. Dr. Banner was just a microcosm. It was conceivable that all the superheroes and plumbers were probably trapped in the illusion of fear, and it was unknown how many of them could withstand the fear and continue to act.
"Everyone, answer immediately upon hearing this."
"I'm here, Mr. Osborn." Natasha was the first to respond. Her voice sounded a little unnatural, trembling with anger and pain.
For her, her biggest fear used to be the Red House, but it is not the case now. What scares her the most now is that Tiangong, the "family" that makes her feel warm, will collapse and fall apart.
She saw many people die, but she became even angrier because of it.
Some people sink in fear, while others find themselves in fear.
"I'm here too." Steve was the second to respond, but that didn't mean his mind was any less firm than Natasha's, but his movements were a little shaky.
"Steve? Something doesn't sound right with your voice."
During the communication, Natasha frowned.
"After all, I am almost a hundred years old now."
Steve, who looked like an old man on the other end of the line, smiled with difficulty. As soon as he spoke, he sounded like an old man: "Oh, bad! I'd better change my clothes first. I think my trouser pocket is pulled..."
Natasha & Norman: ...
"Just kidding, I'm not that old." Steve smiled. He was indeed almost a hundred years old. Both in terms of his physical condition and date of birth, under the influence of the power of fear, Steve had a unique life experience.
He was not frozen, but lived from World War II to the present, and saw familiar old friends die one by one in front of him.
Of course, this was definitely not what he feared the most...
"Old man, you should take a rest."
Natasha shook her head.
"Don't underestimate me, I can still fight all day long!"
Steve refused to admit his age, so he tightened his shield and continued to attack.
He looks old, but the effect of the serum in his body has not weakened too much, and he can still fight for a short time.
Immediately afterwards, the plumbers and electricians of Tiangong Works woke up one after another.
Perhaps they cannot compare with those superheroes in terms of combat power, but in terms of psychological quality, most of them were once agents. Fear will never knock them down, but will only make them rise up to fight back.
As for superheroes, they are just a bunch of older kids with super powers but mental problems!
"Good, at least it works."
Norman breathed a sigh of relief: "All plumbers and electricians, take action immediately and defeat the enemy!"
"The Thunderbolt Special Forces don't have much combat power right now—"
boom! ! !
Before Norman Osborn could finish his words, he was interrupted by a loud noise. It was not an explosion, but more like the sound of a heavy object hitting something.
A sound like the impact of a huge torrent.
"Norman! Bant Parker! You lied to me!"
The sand all over William Baker's body fell off with a rustling sound. He stood at the end of the corridor like a monster, looking at Norman Osborn like a demon.
"Tian Gong promised to heal my daughter!"
"I did promise." Norman slowly put down the communication.
"But she's dead!" The killer's eyes were bloodshot, as if he wanted to tear Norman Osborn into pieces.
"She is not dead, William. You are only seeing the illusion that you fear. Keep your head clear. It will do us no good to deceive you. Your daughter's illness is not a problem for Tiangong at all."
"She's not dead?"
The furious William Baker was stunned for a moment.
"Have you forgotten that you went to the amusement park with her before you left for Asgard? She had already recovered by then."
"Yeah, she's not dead. We went to the amusement park and she had a lot of fun. She even wanted to ride the carousel... What happened?"
William Baker covered his face in confusion, two completely opposite memories flashing alternately.
Norman didn't answer, but gave the order calmly.
"Now that you are awake, take action immediately. Someone wants to use fear to control everything. They must be defeated!"
