American Comics: The Matrix

Chapter 568 The Stolen Ash Extinguisher

Within the city, towering buildings cluster together.

The Ram Rider patrolled every street, and the robots served as his eyes and ears.

But now, something seems off.

Peter was still hesitating whether to transform into a giant to fight Ram Rider, as he could use his spider senses to avoid the robot's lights.

But for some reason, the spider sense suddenly stopped working this time.

A robot's spotlight swept across him instantly, but to his surprise, the robot seemed to go blind and simply shifted the light away from him.

"How is this going?"

He pressed himself against the wall, pondering, "It clearly noticed me, but pretended not to see me?"

Peter was confused. His communicator had been broken for a long time, so he didn't know that Otto had changed the robot's underlying code.

Now all the robots are pretending to patrol, but in reality they are using lights and weapons to drive away those degenerated beasts.

“Someone must be controlling them. Is it Dr. Otto or Harry?” Peter guessed the truth.

Whoever it is, this is a good thing for him, because in this way, the city will soon be empty, and then he will no longer have any worries.

At this moment, at the very bottom of the city.

Places where humans live.

Several blocks of people have gathered near Naoko's clinic, as the rampaging beasts are going berserk in the city, attacking anyone they see.

These people were essentially unarmed homeless people who could only flee for their lives.

Some rebels had also gathered here; they did have weapons, but Nao forbade them from attacking.

"Just drive them away."

Naoko said to the rebels.

She knew where these beasts came from, and now it seemed that the device invented by the doctor was working; the beastmen who ruled the city had degenerated.

If the orcs were completely opposed enemies, she naturally wouldn't stop the rebels from launching an attack. But in reality, there are some orcs like the Tiger King who are willing to help humans.

That's why she needs to ensure that the two races can continue to live together peacefully after the war ends.

"However, I think it's unlikely that the two can live happily together in the same city."

Naoko thought to herself.

The best possible outcome would be for humans and orcs to each choose a leader, and then lead their respective peoples to divide the planet in two, creating a human kingdom and an orc kingdom.

If these two different races were to be put together, humans would not be able to let go of the hatred of past humiliations, and orcs would feel that the once lowly humans were not worthy of being compared to themselves.

As she was thinking, she saw several silver rings flying in the sky, releasing sound waves to drive away the beasts.

The rebels recognized the skateboarder as the Green Goblin from the Celestials Guild and immediately waved.

Harry swooped down and yelled at them, “Quick, everyone hide! You’d better hide in the sewers!”

"Mr. Green Goblin, what's going on now?"

Someone asked loudly.

"The Supreme Evolution is dead, but our Croissant is even more powerful than before. He's looking for Spider-Man and the others. If he can't find them, he might take his anger out on others. Quickly find a place to hide."

Harry said.

The Supreme Evolution is dead!

It seemed as if only this sentence remained in the ears of the rebels, and several of the older ones almost had their hearts stop from being so excited.

Even the highest evolutionary form is dead; victory is practically within reach.

They didn't feel that a victory achieved with minimal involvement was a victory in itself; this wasn't a matter of pride. Their current task was to avoid hindering the team and allow the Heavenly Guild to remain on the battlefield of the city. At this moment, others gathered: Mrs. Forming, Tiger King, John, Venom, Broomray, Star-Lord…

Each of them was like a herdsman driving horses across the grasslands, drawing wild animals to gather around.

Star-Lord is cracking a whip and riding a lizard that looks like a dinosaur, cosplaying as Owen.

Even as Lightning chased away the wild beasts, Venom secretly poked out a head, grabbed a rooster, and ate its brain.

Lightning sighed helplessly: "Venom!"

"What's wrong with me eating a chicken neck?" Venom said nonchalantly.

“They are animals now, but they were orcs before. They will turn back to human form once the effects of the drug wear off.” Broomley, unusually setting aside his prejudice against orcs and humans, said, “Let them hide in the sewers too.”

A still somewhat weak Karen looked at him in surprise. Broomley explained, "I was too extreme before. Now I know that there are orcs who are willing to help humans, and there are also traitors among humans."

His face was filled with sorrow.

I thought of my brother.

Tiger King was very grateful and clapped his hands, almost sending Broomray flying: "Dude! You're already like this, what else is there to say!"

"If I had known you were this temperamental, I would have killed the Supreme Evolution long ago to entertain you!"

The current Tiger King is practically a Siberian tiger.

A group of people led the animals into the sewer.

Although those beasts were fierce, they had an innate fear of the Tiger King, and the Mantis Woman was also controlling their minds, keeping them calm.

The minds of these beasts are much easier to control.

Karen and the others stayed until the end.

Brumley still had doubts: "But what about the Ram Rider? With so many abilities, and the ability to create clones... he's probably more troublesome than the Supreme Evolution now."

"Perhaps only I can deal with him."

Karen clenched her fist and said, "The Supreme Evolution experimented on me, so theoretically, I should also possess the powers of various aliens within my body."

“Maybe so, but you’re still very weak right now, and you haven’t even unleashed your full potential,” John disagreed.

“But who else could it be but me!” Karen exclaimed excitedly.

At that moment, Harry pointed to the city in the distance: "Of course it's him."

Karen stared blankly, and saw an orange giant standing between the towering buildings.

Karen: ? ? ?
……

Inside the castle.

The Spider Monkey taught Otto a lesson for underestimating him.

Otto only thought about how his mechanical arms were stronger, more numerous, and longer, so that he could completely overwhelm the Spider Monkey.

However, he overlooked the fact that Spider-Monkey's agility was comparable to Spider-Man's. Not only did his mechanical arms fail to catch him, but they also got into a knot under Crazy Ben's toying.

Then he was covered in spider silk from the organ at the tip of the spider monkey's tail, and was wrapped up like a dumpling.

"Is this a wireless receiver?"

Crazy Ben discovered the receiver that had fallen from Otto's body.

"It doesn't look like the original," he said with a hint of disdain, but he couldn't care less at this point and simply stuck it onto the watch.

After thanking Otto with spider silk, Mad Ban quickly left and soon found the fly ash extinguisher that had been discarded by Supreme Evolution.

"I've finally found it. Now it's time for me to leave."
