I'm working on Marvel's Spider-Man in American comics.

Chapter 712 The Serpent Beast's Name is Seth

Ignoring Peter's complaints, "Gorgon" looked at Moon Knight. Although the spider totem was a creation of Ness, who was Gaia's daughter, such a shallow divine aura was not enough to attract the attention of this "beast".

Instead, he noticed Moon Knight, or more precisely, Kong Su, Moon Knight's master. His serpentine eyes looked at Moon Knight, who looked back but did not turn into a stone statue.

Or rather, the "Gorgon" possessed by the beast lost the power to petrify others.

"So that's how it is... I've finally found this place, found this universe, after such a long time."

"Gorgon" muttered to himself. Peter's spider-sense was working slightly, but it consistently told him that the enemy before him was not powerful. Meanwhile, Moon Knight, puzzled, asked his boss, "Do I think he's looking at me, or at you?"

Kong Su fell silent, or rather, a shocked silence.

Everyone climbed down from the spiderweb Peter had spun. The dust from the collapse of the castle tower had begun to dissipate. Almost all the enemies had fallen. Typhoid Mary and Bullseye lay on one side, and several old Japanese men appeared to be dead as well.

Only "Gorgon" remained, surrounded by heroes who had formed a circle around him, still talking to himself.

Finally, someone broke the silence. Ghost Rider took a step forward, stood in front of Gorgon, grabbed him, and stared into his eyes: "I don't care who you are, but I see evil in you. Repent of your evil and accept judgment!"

"Evil... Ah, I see. You fight with such a rudimentary concept, don't you? Insignificant insect."

Gorgon smiled, and for a moment, Peter's spider-sense seemed to vibrate, but quickly subsided. Gorgon, pulled up by Ghost Rider, opened its mouth wide and inhaled forcefully, sucking all the hellfire from Ghost Rider's body into its mouth. The massive skull lost its flames, and Ghost Rider lost consciousness, tossing it aside casually.

Peter couldn't help but tap his head. Moon Knight, who was standing nearby, asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is there someone else talking in your head?"

“No, not at all…” Peter was still tapping his head. “Normally I have a spider sense, which allows me to sense danger, but for some reason, in this situation… it still didn’t go off.”

Peter wasn't too worried about whether Johnny was dead or not. After all, the skull had only gone out of flame, not reverted to human form, which meant the Spirit of Vengeance was still bound to Johnny, just severely humiliated by this thing. Theoretically, the beast before them should have greatly enhanced Gorgon's power... but it didn't seem to. If the beast descended through corruption, then Gorgon hadn't fallen compared to before.

Could it be that this guy is really weak?

Gorgon glanced at the people around him again, but finally fixed his gaze on Moon Knight: "You are the messenger of the gods, aren't you? And I can sense that your master is not far from me... no, not far from the one who stole my name and banished me from this world."

"Set".

This time, the voice coming from Moon Knight's mouth wasn't his own. Peter immediately realized it was Consuelo's voice, but he also realized the meaning of the name Consuelo had mentioned: "Seth? The Hydra one?"

"Legend has it that in the distant past, before the universe began to split into the multiverse, shortly after the Earth was formed, an extraordinary life energy was bestowed upon this unique world. This energy was called the Primal Creator, the embodiment of the power of creation. The Primal Creator spread his energy in this new world, and thus the first life on Earth was born, the extraordinary life known as the Old Gods."

Kong Su began recounting history through the Moon Knight's words, then continued: "The Old Gods are different from the New Gods. They are entities of primordial and natural concepts. They were originally meant to be extraordinary, dazzling beings. They were born as gods, noble cosmic entities—until a certain moment, one of them decided to devour and permanently annihilate his own kind, seizing their power." "That was Seth."

The original, oldest fallen one, the chief sinner of the gods, and the culprit who started the war of the ancient gods.

Hydra, Seth.

"...Then why isn't my spider-sense reacting at all?"

"Because his descent failed, his followers tried their best to please him, but all they got in return was a glance from him, and they failed. There weren't enough corrupted people as sacrifices, so he just came here... But that's already terrible. I'm not talking about the incarnation in front of me. The incarnation in front of me can probably do nothing but corrupt others when it comes into contact with them."

Kong Su added, "Oh, and don't use mental or soul attacks. Seth's true form is far larger than an entire universe; no mortal can fight against it."

Peter listened and felt... it was all unreal. Even though Kong Su spoke eloquently, and even though the guy possessing Gorgon was so powerful, he couldn't sense it at the moment.

"According to you, it's like Gorgon lost his petrifying vision and then got Mr. Negative's corruption ability—and that's it? No wonder my spider senses didn't register anything."

Although it sounds tough, it's true. Gorgon's desperate gamble didn't seem to have given him any power-ups. Seth picked up his katana, but he couldn't wreak havoc. He could only aim at the heroes surrounding him and prepare for battle.

But then, an even more awkward problem arose.

“Okay, now we have another problem.”

Matt, raising his fist, pondered for a moment before asking, "If his corruption mechanism is like the healing of a film, requiring contact, then we need to defeat him without physical contact. So the question is, does anyone among us excel at ranged combat?"

In that instant, everyone's attention was focused on Peter. Peter looked at the crowd, then looked helplessly at Gorgon, or rather, Seth, who had drawn his sword.

"Really? I don't know how to exorcise evil spirits. Can any of you give me a way to get rid of him?"

Just then, Peter heard Matt exclaim in surprise.

"Watch out! He's already moved!"

　The frustrating thing is that I couldn't find any specific information about this Demiurge, the primordial creator, not even on the Wangba forum. Aside from the fact that he created the ancient gods and is a symbol of the father god in various mythologies, there's nothing else.
