Chapter 190: The Flame That Burns the Soul, Ghost Rider ( words, please subscribe)
"Sister Jiong Jiong, I have something else to do. I'm leaving first."
Under "Abi's" death gaze, Charlotte still cannot accept this taboo way of making friends.
He chose to go first.
Before he could move, Gwen suddenly received a call and her face instantly became tense.
"George is injured again. It was done by a fire-attribute psychic. I have to go to the scene."
With that, Gwen hurried away.
"Do you want to go to the bathroom to change your battle clothes?" Charlotte shouted.
Gwen didn't even turn around, "No, I bought a flying machine. It's faster than swinging on a spider web."
Charlotte: “.”
Under his envious gaze, Gwen got into the silver aircraft and disappeared into the sky.
"So rich!"
Charlotte was shocked.
He spent all his money on "investment" and now he has nothing left.
I can only go begging.
He called Carter and said, "Hey, I'm out of money. Give me three hundred dollars."
"I don't have time for you. I'm on a mission."
On the other end of the phone, Carter's tone was rapid and he seemed to be gasping for breath, and explosions could be heard from time to time.
Charlotte raised her eyebrows, "Is the sound of gunfire over there serious?"
"Fuck you, come here quickly, we can't hold on any longer." Carter's tone became irritable.
Charlotte curled her lips, "Commanders all like to swear like this, right?"
"Do not!!"
"boom!"
With a loud bang, Carter's communication was forcibly disconnected.
Charlotte was stunned, "Is it so exciting?"
The strength of the Avengers under Carter is already quite strong, but with this lineup they are still at a disadvantage, and the opponent seems to be surprisingly powerful.
Spider-Man's central universe is exposed, the Monument of Time is shattered, and more and more strange guys appear in this world.
But no matter what, the invincible Spider-Man can solve all problems.
Thinking of this, Charlotte clicked the wrist device, and after confirming Carter's position, the arc spider climbed onto his chest.
"Zizi~"
Soon, the arc swept between the tall buildings, encountering Gwen's aircraft along the way.
"Dong Dong~"
The arc dispersed, and Charlotte lay outside the glass, "It seems we are on the way."
Gwen glanced at Charlotte and said, "Then sit tight."
After she finished speaking, she accelerated suddenly.
A strong wind swept past, and Charlotte leaned against the glass and complained quietly.
"You didn't even invite me in to sit down. The symbiote has magnified your rude nature."
"Are you sure you want to come in?"
Gwen had a half-smile on her face, and her devilish face looked ready to eat Charlotte at any time.
Charlotte thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I like being outside in the wind."
"Boom~"
As he spoke, a silver aircraft rushed down.
"I'm here." Charlotte said.
Gwen locked her eyes on the battle-torn streets and frowned, "I'm here too."
A silver aircraft was seen flying over the street, and Gwen switched into symbiote form and fell from the sky.
"Hey, how are you?"
At the corner of the street, George's forehead was bleeding, his hair was disheveled, and he was huddled behind a police car, gasping for breath.
The police officers around him were no better off than him, all of them were injured.
George breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gwen fall.
"It's a fire mutant. He's very scary. Fortunately, the people from SHIELD arrived." He briefly described the situation at the scene.
Gwen frowned, "Since this is a mutant crime, why didn't you notify SHIELD first?"
"He's just a first-level mutant who has just awakened. He's not much stronger than an ordinary person." George shook his head.
"Level 1 mutant?"
Gwen's frown deepened.
Recently, a very mysterious organization has emerged. They are called the Brotherhood of Mutants. They only recruit people with super powers, define some of them as mutants, and have established strict grade divisions.
Level 1 mutants are those who have just awakened their superpowers, and their abilities are not strong yet, not much stronger than ordinary people.
"Your new weapons can easily subdue Level 1 mutants, so why are you in such a mess?" she asked.
"Because at the beginning it was a Level 1 mutant, and then there came another guy who was also a fire mutant."
"is it?"
Charlotte flew and landed in front of George.
George didn't recognize Charlotte at all because she wasn't wearing the nano suit.
"Which Spider-Man are you?" he asked.
"I am the legendary invincible Spider-Man, my record is verifiable."
"There is only one invincible Spider-Man."
"that's me."
"Really? I don't believe it."
“You can go to the TV station.”
"Can the TV station help me verify your identity?"
"No, I just asked you to be the host."
As he spoke, Charlotte looked towards the street after the explosion.
"Where are the Avengers?" he asked.
George pointed to the bombed-out building. "Over there."
“It’s gone.”
"In the underground, a fire mutant robbed a bank. We're targeting him, and so is SHIELD."
George took a deep breath and supported his tired body to stand up.
"It seems to be one of the gathering places of the Brotherhood of Mutants. Captain Carter led his men to fight with them."
Hearing this, Gwen shook her head.
"George, you should have called me in advance. It's too dangerous."
George was silent and said nothing.
Gwen, who is parasitized by the symbiote, is still wearing the same battle suit, so she can't hide her identity.
George doesn't want his daughter to be involved in the mutant incident. He has realized that an irreconcilable conflict is about to break out between humans and super-powered people.
In a sense, Spider-Man is also a mutant.
At least that's how it appears to humans.
If Gwen gets involved in something like this, it will be very difficult for her in the future.
By helping humans fight mutant criminals, Gwen will become an enemy of mutants.
However, as the mutant incident continues to ferment, in the eyes of humans, Gwen, as a mutant, will also be subject to various suspicions and distrust.
They are not human inside or outside.
So George hoped that Gwen would choose to stand aside and do nothing.
Charlotte saw what George was thinking, but was still confused.
"Did you inform Spider-Man?"
"it's me."
The fat police officer next to George raised his hand weakly and said, "I notified Spider-Man." He looked guilty.
As George's confidant, he is the only one who knows Gwen's true identity.
Charlotte shrugged. "Okay, that makes sense."
He turned and looked at the slightly shaking ruins, his eyes narrowed.
"The battle seems to be fierce. My blood is boiling and it hurts."
Halfway through his words, a strange flame suddenly appeared from the ruins.
Charlotte raised her hand to block the view in front of her eyes, and the flame attached to the back of her hand suddenly expanded.
"Shit, what kind of fire is this?"
The pain from the burning flames penetrated deep into his bones, and he hurriedly waved his hands to try to extinguish the strange flames.
"let me help you!"
Gwen kicked open the fire hydrant on the side of the road, and a torrent of water rushed towards Charlotte.
"crash"
Under the rush of water, the flame on the back of Charlotte's hand not only did not go out, but also quickly climbed up the entire arm.
"Shit, it likes Spider-Man more than Aby."
In severe pain, Charlotte's muscles suddenly swelled, and the terrifying force landed on the ground with a bang. The moment his fist collided with the ground, everything around him was distorted by this shock force, and spider-web-like cracks quickly spread with Charlotte as the center.
Gravel flew everywhere, and George and the others quickly dodged.
Seeing that the strange flame on Spider-Man's arm was finally dispersed, George and other police officers exclaimed.
"He is really Spider-Man!" "Yes, no one except Spider-Man has this terrible power."
"But why isn't he wearing a metal suit?"
"I guess he got into a bad habit and lost his suit to the casino."
Amid screams, the ruins collapsed a second time under the shock of this huge force.
"boom!!"
Large clouds of dust spread and electric arcs rose into the air at high speeds.
"Good neighbor, lightning dragon drill!"
"boom!"
The electric drill sank into the ruins with a bang, stirring up a large amount of rubble.
Seeing Charlotte escape into the ground, Gwen was about to follow.
"Wait, don't go. That guy is scary. He is a devil. You might die." George pulled Gwen, his eyes full of pleading.
Gwen was startled, then took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry, but with great power comes great responsibility. You agree with what Spider-Man said, and you've always done that."
"No, that's me, you're different."
"George, my father, we are the same, you taught me."
"Do not!!"
At George's shout, Gwen rushed into the underground base without hesitation.
-
In the dark underground base, the holes and bloodstains on the corridor walls are shocking.
From time to time, you can see strange pale corpses.
The moment Charlotte squatted down and reached out to touch the corpse, it turned into ashes in an instant.
"There's a burning smell. Was he burned to death?" Gwen sniffed the air here, his face full of confusion.
Charlotte was thoughtful, thinking of the strange flame that had just attached to his arm.
"It seems that the burning is not only targeting the body, but also the soul."
"soul?"
Gwen was shocked, "If that's the case, there's no reason why you could get away with it."
Charlotte shrugged, "Who knows!"
Having said that, he stood up and continued to go deeper into the passage.
As the two went deeper, more and more strange corpses came into view.
"Look, that's the captain!!" Gwen suddenly pointed at the figure in the rubble in front of him, his face full of horror.
Charlotte raised an eyebrow, "It's Thunderbolt Fire."
He stepped forward, kicked away the gravel, and looked at the half-dead Johnny.
"What's going on?" he asked.
At this time, Johnny had signs of burning all over his body, his face was covered in black ash, and he pointed weakly at the depths of the passage.
"It's a demon."
After saying this with difficulty, his head drooped weakly.
Seeing this, Charlotte couldn't help but sigh.
"Johnny, you're a hero."
He reached out and stroked Johnny's eyes, and surprisingly heard snoring.
Charlotte: “.”
"He's not dead," Gwen reminded quietly.
Charlotte deadpanned, "I know, I just wanted to wash his face."
As he finished speaking, a loud noise came from deep in the passage, and rubble and stone men fell at Charlotte's feet.
"Asshole, I'm going to tear you apart!!"
Ben, looking disheveled, stood up and pounded his chest angrily, ignoring Charlotte and the other man as he continued to rush deeper into the passage.
Seeing this, Charlotte and the other person quickly followed.
Soon, the huge underground steel fortress was littered with corpses.
"Kakaka~"
At this moment, dense steel fragments gathered on the ceiling of the base, slowly forming a strange metal cloud.
Under the metal cloud, Eric and Charles' figures were shrouded in a metal protective layer.
On the other side, Carter and others holding shields gathered together. They looked exhausted and their battle clothes were damaged to varying degrees. It was obvious that they had experienced a very difficult battle.
On the other end, there was a terrifying figure covered in horrific flames.
Under the burning flames, his flesh and blood were burned out and his body turned into a skeleton.
The strange thing was that his black leather jacket showed no signs of being burned.
"Boom~"
Under the burning fire, the metal chain in his hand gradually spread strange flames, and the dangerous aura made everyone fearful.
The three parties confronted each other in a triangle.
With the return of Ben Grimm, the balance is still not broken.
"Is Spider-Man here?" Carter asked.
Ben scratched his head, "I wasn't paying attention."
Barton on the side frowned, "You were so loud just now, you go first later."
Ben quickly shook his head, "No, there were people there just now, so I only did it for face."
"who?"
"Men and women."
"That wouldn't be Spider-Man."
"I didn't see clearly. There was dust in my eyes."
Ben quietly came to Aklessei and said in a low voice, "You go first later."
Aklessey looked at his drooping right arm and said with a sullen face, "One of my hands is broken. Didn't you see it?"
"Then you come." Ben looked at Max, whose power was exhausted, "You are the newcomer, you have to listen to me."
Max turned his head away, "I only listen to Cap and Spider-Man."
The electric arcs on his skin dimmed to the extreme, and it was obvious that he had no fighting power left.
Behind Carter, Harry held the green potion bottle tightly in his hand, his face conflicted.
"Captain, how about I try this!"
"No, the Green Goblin Serum has not yet entered the experimental stage. It's very dangerous." Carter refused without hesitation.
Reid whispered, “Actually, you can try it, because I’m also involved in this study.”
Susan on the side shook her head, "That would be even more dangerous."
"Hey, Susan, what do you mean? I'm your future husband, and you look down on me!" Reed was unconvinced.
Susan lowered her head and sighed, "I know you better than any of them. The things you study are all very strange."
"No, you don't know me at all."
There was a dispute among the Avengers, but Eric was not happy.
"They had a quarrel," said Charles.
Eric fixed his eyes on the flaming skull and said, "Don't worry about them. The biggest threat is this guy."
Charles swallowed, "This guy is not afraid of my mental attack. His head is empty and he seems to have no soul at all."
Eric's face was solemn. "My ability has little effect on him. The flames on his body are very strange. My metal will inexplicably become his weapon."
"But he can't seem to kill us."
Charles recalled the scene just now.
A terrible fire devoured Eric's metal shield, and in the flaming skull eye sockets, Charles saw his own life.
Then there is no more.
Nothing happened to him.
The other mutants who were targeted were turned into corpses in an instant, their entire bodies burned into empty shells by the strange flames.
He didn't know why this happened.
But he was sure that this guy seemed to have achieved his goal.
As expected, the leather-clad fireman glanced at the Avengers and Eric, then threw the chain over his shoulder.
Carrying chains on his back, he turned around and rode on the flaming Harley motorcycle.
"That's all for today. I have to go to work."
As he finished speaking, the roar of the engine resounded throughout the underground base, and the Harley motorcycle burst into flames as it rushed towards the exit, leaving a trail of flames along the way.
Seeing this, both Charles and Carter and others were stunned.
The fight suddenly ended and both sides began to set their sights on each other.
He seemed to be considering whether to continue.
"Boom~"
Suddenly, gravel flew up from the base passage, and extremely fast electric arcs swept past Carter and others, rushing towards the hellfire.
"Spider-Man!" Max exclaimed in surprise.
Carter frowned, "If you rush over like this, you will suffer."
"Follow."
