After introducing him to Obadiah, the bald man once again reiterated his assurances.
"No. This place has become a target. We must transfer everything here to a safer location as soon as possible so the research can continue."
A trace of seriousness flashed through Obadiah's eyes as he slowly made his decision.
"Give me one bottle of each serum first. I'm leaving now. Pack everything up and prepare for relocation immediately."
Without hesitation, Obadiah took one bottle from each set of serums in the safe, secured them, and prepared to leave.
"Yes, sir. We'll handle everything right away—"
"Who's there?!"
Just as the bald man closed the safe and began packing, a silver-white web suddenly shot down from above, instantly sticking to the safe.
"No!"
In the next instant, amid the bald man's unwilling roar, the safe was yanked open and flung into the air.
At the same time, everyone was shocked to discover that, without anyone noticing, a spider-themed figure was clinging to the ceiling above them.
"Oh no—it's that damn Spider-Man!"
Everyone reacted instantly. The security guards raised their guns and opened fire without hesitation.
Rat-a-tat-tat!
Gunfire erupted as chaos spread. Researchers clutched their heads and dove under tables.
Obadiah also hid beneath a table—by coincidence, the bald man was right beside him.
"Damn it… the gunfire's dying down. That guy's hard to deal with."
After hiding for a while, Obadiah noticed the shots growing fewer and weaker.
Amid loud crashes and screams, even the final gunshot disappeared.
"…Sorry."
Obadiah's gaze turned cold. He slowly pulled out a green vial from the serums he had just put away and viciously stabbed it into the bald man beside him.
"M-Mr. Stane… you—"
Before anyone could react, the bald man's consciousness rapidly faded.
But what emerged was not death—
It was a ferocious beast.
Chapter 59: I, Obadiah, Am No Longer Human!
"Everyone can stop hiding—you're surrounded!"
Using webs, the armed personnel were stuck one by one to walls and ceilings, completely neutralized.
Gwen Stacy casually walked toward where the researchers were hiding.
"Hm? This feeling—"
As she approached, her spider-sense suddenly activated.
In the next moment, the massive metal table shielding the researchers flipped over and slammed toward her.
"Whoa—are they insane? Did they make another monster?!"
Gwen leapt several meters away, flipping gracefully in midair and narrowly dodging the crashing table.
But when she landed, she finally saw the researcher beneath it—now transformed into a horrifyingly familiar monster.
"This monster isn't Superman… wait, it only has two arms—and it's smaller than the last one."
The sight instantly brought back a terrible memory.
That four-armed monster had completely overwhelmed her. If Superman hadn't intervened, the consequences would have been unthinkable…
Hey!
The monster suddenly roared at the ceiling. Its massive body radiated raw power, its savage face twisted with beastly madness.
Thick saliva dripped from its mouth, its huge eyes bloodshot.
Suddenly, its gaze shifted from Gwen to Obadiah behind her, who was cautiously backing away, searching for an escape.
"Damn it… go after him."
Even Obadiah felt his legs go weak under the monster's feral stare.
ROAR!
As if some lingering resentment remained, the creature harbored deep hatred toward Obadiah.
It howled furiously, lifted a leg thicker than a barrel, and kicked Obadiah with all its strength.
"No!"
Seeing the monster about to hurt someone right in front of her, Gwen instantly fired a web at its raised leg.
But the monster's strength was overwhelming—even Gwen was yanked off balance, nearly falling.
Meanwhile, Obadiah flew like a kicked soccer ball, soaring more than ten meters before slamming into a metal wall with a loud bang.
"Cough—damn it…"
Whether due to his abnormal vitality or Gwen's webbing, Obadiah wasn't knocked unconscious, though he coughed up blood.
"ROAR!"
The monster turned toward Gwen, its eyes filled with boundless madness.
The next second, it charged at her, swinging a fist larger than a sandbag.
Gwen avoided direct contact, relying on agility as she darted through the narrow lab filled with equipment.
Occasionally, she used webs to yank heavy objects and smash them into the monster's head.
"This thing's weaker than the last one."
During the fight, Gwen quickly realized that despite its crazed appearance, the monster wasn't overwhelmingly stronger than her.
At most—twice her strength.
"Yes. We can take it down."
She continued dodging while searching for the right moment.
Boom!
Her spider-sense flared again as she narrowly avoided another heavy punch.
The monster's fist slammed into a load-bearing wall with tens of tons of force.
Spiderweb-like cracks spread instantly as the entire laboratory shook violently.
"No—we have to lure it away, or this place will collapse!"
Feeling the intense tremor, Gwen made her decision.
…
Bzzzt—BOOM!
Just as she prepared to lead the monster out, a brilliant laser sliced cleanly through the ceiling.
A massive metal slab crashed down, pinning the monster to the ground.
"What the—what kind of monster is this? A tin man?"
Gwen stared in shock as a robotic figure slowly descended from the air.
"Hey, kid. Have you seen a big bald guy? Like that long-haired one—Lebowski style?"
The helmet opened, revealing a face that made Gwen gasp.
"You're… Tony Stark?!"
"Don't freak out. Just answer the question."
Seeing the kid's stunned expression, Tony asked again impatiently.
"Uh… do you mean Mr. Obadiah Stane, from Stark Industries?"
Tony's metaphor had thrown her off, but she understood.
"Yeah. That's him. Where is he?"
Tony's eyes lit up.
"He was just kicked by the monster in the deepest part of the lab—"
Before she finished, Tony blasted forward.
Seconds later, he flew back.
"He's gone."
"JARVIS, activate satellite tracking. Find him immediately."
Tony's expression hardened.
"Sir, we've located Mr. Stane's vehicle. It's heading into the city—"
"Goodbye, little spider."
The mask snapped shut as Tony rocketed into the sky.
"…Amazing. If anyone gave me a suit like that, I'd gladly be their godfather."
