Chapter 21 - Sweeping Everything Clean

Crack!

Sora Yukihara twisted a security guard's neck with effortless ease.

As if it meant nothing, he kicked the corpse aside and walked deeper inside.

Crackle… crackle…

His presence stirred the bio-engineered electric eels.

This was the laboratory from The Amazing Spider-Man 2—the place where genetically modified electric eels were cultivated.

The birthplace of Electro.

But now—

Electro would never exist.

With a flick of his fingers, Sora Yukihara lifted all the eels using his thread ability and instantly converted them.

"System, exchange the genetic electric eels."

"Ding! Exchange successful. Reward: Silver Treasure Chest."

Sora Yukihara turned and left without hesitation.

Electro's power was terrifying—worthy of a gold-tier ability.

But the problem?

These were just eels.

To gain that power required extreme luck, a series of coincidences, and risking death.

Just like the spider that created Spider-Man—

Without special conditions, it was only worth silver-tier at best.

Sora Yukihara stepped into the elevator.

After checking a message on his phone, he opened a hidden command panel and entered a string of encrypted codes.

"Password accepted."

The elevator descended smoothly.

Soon—

"Welcome to Oscorp's highest-level underground vault."

The codes, of course, came from Connors.

"Hahaha…"

Sora Yukihara burst into laughter.

Before him—

Treasures everywhere.

This vault stored Oscorp's most advanced and secret technologies:

Genetically modified spidersLizard serum and antidoteGreen Goblin armorRhino exosuitDoctor Octopus mechanical armsVulture's equipment

Even—

Highly enriched tritium, a rare nuclear material crucial to fusion experiments.

Everything here—

Was treasure.

"To think I'd hit the jackpot like this…"

Sora Yukihara grinned.

Every single item could be exchanged for treasure chests.

"Warning! Warning!"

The AI system detected him.

Alarms blared.

"Guess Norman noticed me."

"Too late."

Sora Yukihara spread his arms—

Threads shot out, instantly destroying every surveillance camera.

Then—

He pointed at the Green Goblin armor.

"Thread Bullet!"

A precise shot shattered the protective casing.

"Ding! Exchange successful. Reward: Silver Treasure Chest."

And that—

Was just the beginning.

Sora Yukihara went on a frenzy.

Everything valuable—

Gone.

Converted.

Nothing left behind.

Ten minutes later—

The vault was nearly empty.

Looking at rows of treasure chests in his system—

Sora Yukihara laughed wildly.

"Hahaha! With this many chests, I can trade for powerful abilities and combat techniques!"

"So this is what it feels like to be a bandit…"

"No-cost profit—beautiful!"

He stepped back into the elevator.

But the moment he exited—

Footsteps.

Shouting.

"There! He's there!"

"Don't let him escape!"

Sora Yukihara frowned.

"Still coming?"

He glanced around—

Then smiled coldly.

BOOM!!!

A massive explosion erupted inside Oscorp Tower.

Glass shattered everywhere.

Flames roared upward.

This wasn't a small blast—

An entire floor was devastated.

The building itself trembled, nearly collapsing.

This—

Was Sora Yukihara's answer.

And his warning to Norman.

But he wasn't done.

Not even close.

Next—

He headed straight for Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.

The home of the X-Men.

Sora Yukihara had two goals:

Settle the scoreUse Professor X's abilities to locate Parker's family

Because Norman—

Was dangerous.

Not in strength—

But in intelligence.

A man capable of rivaling Tony Stark in innovation.

If he wanted to hide someone—

Sora Yukihara alone might not find them.

Tap.

Sora Yukihara landed in front of the school.

"Good thing this place is in New York…"

Suddenly—

He sensed something.

"Heh… as expected of the Professor."

"Already noticed me."

Professor X—

The strongest "radar" in the world.

Crash!

A figure burst through a window—

Colossus.

"It's you!"

Rage filled his eyes.

He charged.

"Stop, Colossus."

A calm voice cut through the tension.

Cyclops pushed Professor X forward.

Other X-Men gathered—

Surrounding Sora Yukihara.

Even the children—

Peeking from windows in their pajamas.

Professor X spoke calmly:

"Sora Yukihara, you are not welcome here. Leave."

Straight to expulsion.

Sora Yukihara smirked.

"Professor…"

"Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?"
