Whether Peter was willing or not, Ryan intended to give Peter a beating, so this was a great opportunity.
After all, defeating Spider-Man allowed him to replicate all of the opponent's abilities.
Ryan wanted to try and see if he could replicate Peter's special spider phantom, which was just like his!
If it worked, wouldn't that mean he would have two special spider phantoms from then on?
Besides, Peter's spider phantom was still in its infancy; perhaps after growing up, it would possess abilities different from his own spider phantom!
A red light flashed on Ryan's left arm from the Reality Stone.
Between him and Peter, a Vibranium table instantly appeared.
Turning the illusory into reality, the Reality Stone!
Although the manifestation time of a single Reality Stone was temporary, it was completely sufficient for a contest.
Seeing that Ryan had already set his posture, Peter had to go up whether he wanted to or not.
Because his Spider-Sense was telling him that if he didn't go up, what he would face next wouldn't be as simple as arm-wrestling...
Peter placed his hand on Ryan's and said uneasily: "Let's get this straight, we are only competing with our own strength. We can't use the Infinity Stones, magic, cosmic energy, or any power unrelated to physical strength!"
Ryan rolled his eyes: "You're overthinking it. With someone like you, if I still had to resort to those to cheat, I really would have lived in vain!"
May walked enthusiastically between the two to act as the referee: "It looks like both contestants are in high spirits. I'll count down from three, and we'll start when I count to one!"
"Ready..."
"One!"
Boom————
Peter didn't expect May to jump straight to one, nor did he expect that without even a chance to struggle, his entire body spun 360 degrees on the spot from the immense force coming from his right arm!
Finally, when Peter could see clearly again, the scenery in front of him had changed from Ryan to the ceiling!
May leaned over anxiously to Peter, who was lying on the ground, and asked with concern: "Peter, are you okay?"
"I... I'm fin..."
Peter's right arm was aching all over, and he didn't want to get up at all.
As for Ryan, he had already received the power gained from defeating Peter.
Aside from the three major items that every Spider-Man brought him—physical fitness, Spider-Sense, and adhesion ability—a peculiar power had indeed entered his body.
If he had to describe that power specifically, it was a... cocoon.
A cocoon undergoing metamorphosis!
Ryan looked inward into the depths of his soul and saw the white silk cocoon held protectively in the embrace of the tricolor giant spider. His heart suddenly began to beat faster.
He had a strong intuition that when this cocoon broke open, he would reap unexpected gains!
Was this Death's return gift to him?
What an unexpected surprise!
Ryan wasn't sure what was inside this cocoon yet, but he was certain it was definitely not simple!
Just the harvest of this cocoon made his trip worthwhile!
Without staying long, Ryan's consciousness returned to reality.
After all, no matter how long he looked at the cocoon, it wouldn't make it hatch early, right?
A green syringe appeared out of thin air in Ryan's hand, stabbing into the shoulder of Peter, who was lying on the ground and didn't want to get up.
The next moment, Peter, whose right arm had been in tearing pain, was amazed to find that his arm didn't hurt anymore!
"What is this?"
Peter looked at the syringe with a little bit of green liquid still remaining inside, feeling somewhat curious.
The Amazing Spider-Man immediately recognized the origin of the injection and exclaimed: "This is The Lizard's regenerative serum?!"
"OMG, how could you inject Peter with this thing? It will cause the spider mutant genes in Peter's body to conflict with The Lizard's genes, ultimately leading to gene collapse or mutation!"
Amazing immediately stepped forward to check on Peter's condition.
Ryan casually threw the empty syringe into the trash can and said calmly: "Rest assured, this is an improved version made by Dr. Connors in my Universe. It has already removed the factors that would cause human genes to mutate, retaining only its healing factors."
"Of course, as a trade-off, the regenerative effect of the syringe also changed from permanent to one-time-use."
Hearing this, Amazing breathed a sigh of relief: "Dr. Connors from your Universe actually managed to pull this off. That's simply amazing!"
"So leave the antidote for The Lizard to me. You guys make the antidotes or devices for the others." Ryan nodded and said.
The original took over the conversation: "Then I'll make the Green Goblin antidote for Norman. Ever since he died, I've been repeatedly deducing the reverse serum for the Green Goblin over the years, and I'm confident now!"
Amazing raised his hand: "Then I'll make the power suppression device for Max."
Strange sighed helplessly: "I'll take that Sandman. I still have some tricks against elemental superpower users..."
Strange's initiative to join surprised Peter: "Dr., didn't you oppose me helping them before?"
Strange glared at Peter: "That's because you brat are more likely to ruin things than accomplish anything, which is why I wasn't willing to take that risk!"
"Now that we have a big shot carrying us, what is there for me to be afraid of?"
"Th... That makes so much sense..." Peter was actually left speechless.
"The inhibitor for Doctor Octopus was successfully made, and he helped me earlier, but he was knocked off the building by Electro. I don't know how he is doing now..."
At this moment, Peter, having regained his composure, actually started leaning towards helping Norman and the others once more in his heart.
Especially Doctor Octopus; he could sense that Doctor Octopus was a really good person.
After regaining his sanity, Doctor Octopus was the only person who helped him at that time.
"Rest assured, I'm sure Doctor Octopus will be blessed with good fortune and come out safe..."
May walked over and comforted Peter with a sentence.
Afterwards, several of them divided the work, cooperated, and helped each other, quickly finishing the antidotes and inhibitors targeting Norman and the others.
After all, the ones making them were geniuses among geniuses, and crafting black tech by hand was just a matter of minutes for them.
The few of them gathered together, holding their respective crafted devices.
"Now, the final question is, how are we going to lure Norman and all of them out?"
The original raised the most core question.
Ryan remained silent, just watching quietly, obviously not planning to make a move.
Amazing was not familiar with this Universe and had no ideas either.
May, MJ, and Ned went without saying.
Strange did have tracking magic.
However, he needed some personal items of the targets, but they didn't have any damn personal items of theirs.
So in the end, everyone focused their gazes on Peter.
"Peter, the trouble you stirred up yourself, you figure out a way to solve it!"
Hearing this, Peter instantly wore a bitter face and could only rack his brains alone in deep thought.
The others exchanged glances with each other, all revealing smiles.
That's right, they did it on purpose.
Deliberately forcing Peter to grow up, allowing him to become someone who masters his own life rather than a child who constantly relies on My Lord for protection and guidance.
"That damned Spider-Man, after making a huge fuss in the residential area with those supervillains today, caused the Death of an innocent lady and fled to escape justice. We must catch him!"
Just at that moment, on the TV news inside the room, a bald mustache man was spitting as he bitterly denounced Spider-Man's actions.
