------------------------------------------------
Ryan reached out and gently stroked the metal door, finding no gaps along its surface.
This caused Ryan to praise involuntarily, "Oh, quite cautious, aren't we..."
This kind of fully enclosed steel door was the hardest to open!
But unfortunately, for Ryan, it was useless!
This thing could stop an ordinary person, and even Peter, as Spider-Man, might not be able to break it with brute force.
But Ryan was not an ordinary Spider-Man template; he was a spider Totem template!
And he was a spider man who had been strengthened to +1 after absorbing Peter's power bonus!
Ryan stepped back a few paces, leaned his upper body back slightly, raised his right foot, and delivered a fierce right front kick to the metal door!
Clang—!
With just one kick, Norman's steel door, which was comparable to a bank vault, dented inward, the entire door twisting out of shape!
Seeing that it was effective, Ryan followed up with another kick!
Boom—!
The already tottering steel door instantly flew inward, crashing into the safe room and kicking up a cloud of dust!
Ryan fanned away the dust in front of him with his hand while walking into the safe room; through his suit's thermal imaging function, he had already spotted Norman sitting on the floor.
However, Ryan did not approach Norman immediately, because his Spider-Sense went off at that moment!
This indicated that there was an extremely dangerous presence in this safe room!
And there was no one else in here besides Norman.
So clearly, this danger came from Norman himself!
Under Ryan's scrutinizing gaze, Norman slowly stood up from the floor and threw several empty syringes in his hand onto the ground, his voice becoming crazed and raspy once more:
"You... Spider-Man... you actually dare to deliver yourself to my door... haha... Hahahaha!"
"Do you know, if it were a few days later, I might not have been able to hold on myself, and could only have let Harry inherit my unfinished mission!"
"But today, you, my cure, have arrived. Richard's perfect little spider—as long as I eat you, I believe I will be healed!"
"No, not just healed! I will become better! Stronger! More perfect!"
As Norman spoke, his body began to undergo genetic mutation because he had injected himself with a mixture of lizard regeneration serum and Super Spider venom!
His original height of only 1.8 meters began to increase rapidly, soon surpassing Ryan's two meters and approaching three meters!
Then, Norman's elongated body began to grow dense, disgusting pustules, and four more scrawny arms sprouted from the sides of his ribs!
Finally, even Norman's face began to mutate; in addition to his original two eyes, six more eyes actually grew on his cheeks, his teeth fell out, and a new mouth full of sharp teeth grew in!
From a human, he had grown into a full-blown green monster with six arms, eight eyes, and pus-oozing skin!
The mutated Norman stuck out a forked tongue and licked his new sharp teeth, his eight bloodshot green pupils staring at Ryan like a predator as he gave a low laugh:
"Heh heh, are you ready to enter my stomach? Poor, weak little spider..."
Seeing Norman completely transform into a monster, Ryan didn't just stand there watching anymore. Instead, he casually picked up the nearby steel door and walked toward Norman step by step, saying impatiently:
"Blah blah blah, non-stop. Why do you villains all love to talk for such a long time before a fight..."
"It's really annoying to listen to!"
Whoosh—!
Ryan kicked off the ground and appeared in front of Norman in an instant. With a fierce swing of his hand, the steel door whistled as it slammed toward Norman!
Thud!
Now having six hands, Norman certainly wouldn't be hit easily. His six arms all grabbed the incoming steel door, forcing it to stop in mid-air!
But Norman's heart was still filled with shock, because even with all six arms together, he had almost failed to catch that blow!
And even though he caught it, his six arms were filled with a throbbing ache!
As Ryan continued to exert force from the other end of the steel door, Norman's six arms began to creak, and the fluid from the pustules on his arms began to burst and splatter!
Clearly, although Norman looked taller and larger than Ryan and had four extra arms, he was being completely suppressed by Ryan in terms of strength!
While being pressed against the wall by Ryan's immense strength, Norman cursed inwardly:
"Holy shit! This damn strength of yours isn't right, is it?"
He was now a combined version of Spider Genes and Lizard Genes. Logically, he should have completely suppressed the opponent, at least in terms of strength!
But now, he was the one being suppressed!
This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Unless... Norman's eight eyes stared at Ryan in shock, "You're not Spider-Man, your abilities don't come from the Super Spider Richard cultivated!"
"Heh, did I ever say I was some kind of Spider-Man?"
Ryan gave a disdainful smile, and the hand pressed against the steel door began to push forward with even more force, intending to slice Norman in half with the door!
This caused Norman's arms, which were already at their limit, to no longer be able to hold on. Not only did the pustules on his six arms burst, but even the muscles and bones began to crack!
The steel door was bit by bit embedding itself into the flesh of his chest!
Seeing that he was about to die, Norman's eight eyes turned fierce. He suddenly opened his spiral-toothed mouth, which looked like Pennywise's, and spat out a glob of green pus!
Danger!
Ryan's Spider-Sense gave him an early warning the moment Norman opened his mouth, causing him to decisively let go of the steel door, leap backward, and crouch upside down on the ceiling!
The spot where he had just been standing had already been corroded by the pus Norman spat out, and was now emitting blue smoke!
"If we're fighting, then fight. Spitting is a trick children play, disgusting!"
Having achieved his two goals—letting Norman turn himself into a monster and testing his mutated spider strength—Ryan stopped playing around and got serious.
Thwip thwip thwip—!
Ryan raised his hands to aim, and balls of Spider Silk were shot from his wrists, accurately hitting Norman's six hands and two legs, then bursting open to tightly bind Norman's massive body!
Although his self-produced Spider Silk couldn't be set to hundreds of modes like a Web-shooter, a few simple variations were still possible!
Like the current Spider Silk Bursting Shells!
Fired in the form of marbles, they automatically burst upon touching the target to achieve the goal of binding the enemy.
The strength of Ryan's Spider Silk was several times that of steel wire; even the currently mutated Norman wouldn't be able to break free in a short amount of time.
Not to mention that Norman's six arms had just been broken during the struggle with Ryan and were still repairing, completely unable to exert force!
Furthermore, Ryan wouldn't give him the chance to break free.
Ryan stuck two more strands of normal Spider Silk to the wall behind Norman, pulled the silk with both hands to a state of maximum elasticity, and then used the leverage to launch his entire body toward Norman in a Leo Kick!
The speed of this launch was almost invisible to the naked eye!
After a dull sound of air exploding inside the safe room, Ryan landed behind Norman's headless body.
Thud—
Norman Osborn, deceased!
