The Savior of American Comics? I'm the Subspace Evil God!

Chapters 387, 690, and 691: Gwen's Identity Exposed

Almost as soon as Frank Cassel finished speaking, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, a slender figure rushed over at an extremely fast speed, aided by the swaying of spider silk. It was none other than Gwen.

"boom--"

Gwen's sharp eyes locked onto Misty Knight, who was baring her teeth and claws, trying to continue her rampage.

Her eyes burned with fury, her leg muscles tensed instantly, and she kicked out with a flying kick. Misty Knight opposite her had no time to react and was sent flying by the kick.

Gwen spun around smoothly and landed nimbly, then spread her arms to shield Frank Cassel, angrily warning him:

"You bug, stay away from Uncle Frank... Sheriff!!"

“Gwen, it’s so good to see you alive.” Frank Cassel looked up at Gwen, who was standing protectively in front of him, and said with gratitude, “I knew you would come.”

His tired face was full of trust and relief, as if all the fear and anxiety had vanished with Gwen's arrival.

Clearly, he made the right bet this time.

Previously, when he found a cell phone signal in the drainpipe, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

Ultimately, the reason he didn't call the police immediately but instead called Gwen was because he knew that calling the police would be of no use in the current dangerous situation.

Those shoe cult members act strangely and use cruel methods. By the time the police finally find this place, he may have already been sacrificed by that group of fanatical shoe cult members...

And now, the only person in his heart who could possibly save his life is probably Gwen, the Spider Woman, who embodies justice!
Facts have proved that his judgment was correct.

He thus managed to save his own life.

"Don't worry, Uncle Frank, as long as I'm here, I will absolutely not let... Huh???"

Gwen's body suddenly trembled, as if struck by an electric current. Her beautiful eyes, hidden behind her mask, widened instantly. She belatedly realized what was happening, and mechanically turned her head slowly behind her. Her voice trembled, tinged with nervousness and embarrassment, as she asked:

“Um, Uncle Frank… oh no, I mean Sheriff Frank, I think you’ve mistaken me for someone else. I’m not Gwen Stacy, I’m Spider-Woman, sent by her to help you escape this predicament, and I don’t want to reveal my real name!”

As she spoke, she silently prayed that Frank Cassel would believe her, while inwardly blaming herself for saying the wrong thing in her moment of excitement.

“But you can rest assured, as long as I’m here, I will absolutely not let that guy hurt you.” She quickly added, trying to change the subject by emphasizing her abilities and to stop Frank Cassel from focusing on her identity.

"Okay, okay, I believe you." Frank Cassel immediately showed a "Don't worry, I understand" smile.

The smile held a hint of mockery, as if silently implying that he had seen through everything all along, but simply chose not to expose it.

However, just when Gwen thought she had successfully gotten away with it, Peter the lizard, who had caught up with them, dealt with the symbiote hound and, seeing that Gwen had successfully rescued Frank Cassel, let out a long sigh of relief, his tense nerves relaxing like a released bowstring. He said:

"Great, Gwen, it looks like we arrived just in time!"

“Peter, you…”

Gwen was so angry at her teammate that she couldn't speak. Her eyes widened, and she secretly groaned. Her identity, which she had been trying to hide, was now completely exposed by Peter's words.

Seeing this, Frank Cassel's smile deepened. He gently patted Gwen's shoulder, his tone carrying a hint of elder's concern, "Gwen, I actually knew from the beginning that you were Spider-Woman, but don't worry, I'll continue to keep your secret!"

His eyes were full of sincerity and kindness, which eased Gwen's initial tension a little.

"Damn it, where did all you troublemakers come from? How dare you delay my mission! I'll kill you all!!"

At this moment, Misty Knight had already gotten up from the ground and rushed towards Gwen across from her in a fit of rage, but the next second, a scarlet, tough spider web landed directly on her face.

"Bang bang bang-"

Gwen's anger was reignited, and she clenched her fists to vent her fury.

Although her strength was not as great as Peter the Lizard's, the aura she was unleashing at this moment was still not to be underestimated.

Her fists rained down on Misty Knight, each punch filled with rage. Under her onslaught, Misty Knight gradually lost the ability to resist and was soon knocked unconscious.

The pitch-black symbiote attached to her body slowly faded away, like a black liquid, gradually seeping into her body and revealing her true form.

“Gwen, don’t hurt her… Misty was also acting against her will. I suspect that the symbiote attached to her is controlling her brain and consciousness!”

Frank Castle quickly spoke up to stop him, then struggled to his feet, swaying a few times before finally regaining his balance. He walked up to Gwen and said:
“But she seemed to regain a sliver of consciousness for a fleeting moment just now. We must give her a chance; we can’t leave her here any longer.” His eyes were full of sympathy and concern.

“Alright.” Gwen nodded slightly. “But we don’t have time to wait for him to regain his sanity. The battle just now has probably attracted more symbiotes. We need to get out of here immediately!”

As she spoke, Gwen looked at Polaris and said, "Could we end this assessment now and send us back?"

"no problem."

Polaris readily agreed. She, Logan, and the little wolf girl had successfully completed their mission of collecting samples of the newly discovered symbiote, and it was time to embark on their journey home.

So she took out the Teleportation Gun, adjusted the coordinates of the Osborne Building, and pulled the trigger.

"Zi-"

As a deep blue energy bullet shot out from the muzzle, a deep blue portal appeared out of thin air in front of them in an instant.

"What is this? A portal?"

Frank Cassel could hardly believe his eyes when he saw such amazing cutting-edge technology for the first time. It wasn't until he felt Gwen gently supporting his arm that he involuntarily walked towards the blue-glowing portal. Then, the scene in front of him changed instantly. When he belatedly came to his senses, he looked around and found himself in the Osborne Building, dozens of kilometers away!
Looking out at the familiar streets, Frank Cassel was filled with emotion. Everything had happened so fast that he found it hard to adjust.

"Alright, this risk assessment is officially over. We'll call you in advance once the company's senior management makes a decision on the risk level of this incident." Polaris smiled at Gwen and said this, then used the Teleportation Gun to create a portal back to Sokovia, and pulled the little wolf girl inside first.

Logan, who had been smoking a cigar, stopped before turning to step into the portal and look at Gwen and Peter Parker, who had returned to human form, to remind them:

"Young man, remember to prepare in advance next time. Our company values ​​efficiency the most..."

He was clearly referring to the beacon.

Gwen nodded emphatically with a serious expression. "Don't worry, Mr. Logan, we will."

Then, the portal slowly closed, the light gradually disappeared, leaving behind a group of people with expressions of emotion, as if everything they had just experienced was just an illusory dream.

"Uncle Frank, welcome back to the human world on Earth..."

Gwen winked playfully, a relaxed smile spreading across her face, and said jokingly.

Now that the other party already knew her true identity, she decided to stop pretending.

After all, having such an experienced sheriff within the police department will make it much easier for her to obtain confidential information in the future.

"Gwen, thank you for saving me."

Frank Cassel said with a solemn expression of gratitude, "I think George's spirit in heaven would be very pleased to see you become as brave as you are now!"

Upon hearing this, Gwen's eyes welled up slightly, clearly thinking of her deceased father. She quickly turned to Peter Parker, who was grinning foolishly and watching the scene unfold, and said:

“Peter, could you please separate the symbiote from Officer Misty Knight first? I think she should know a lot of useful information that we don’t yet have access to!”

"Don't worry, I've got it covered," Peter Parker said confidently, patting his chest.

He didn't even have time to change his clothes, which were stained with sewage and signs of battle, or take a shower before immediately throwing himself into a new round of work.

"Gwen, this situation is a bit tricky. I need to go back to the station immediately to report..."

Frank Cassel thought for a moment and said, "But don't worry, I'll try my best to buy you more time. I hope you can get more useful information from Misty during this time!"

……

A few hours later.

Police and paramedics arrived at the Osborne Building and took away Officer Misty Knight, who was still somewhat disoriented.

Prior to this, after Peter Parker used ultrasound to force out the Loyalist Symbiote attached to her body, Gwen and her companions had already learned some shocking information about the Dark Church from her.

It turns out that a group of upper-class people had secretly joined the Dark Church and become symbiotic warriors who were 'blessed'.

And everyone, including the church's leader Dehal, obeyed the orders of a mysterious symbiotic warrior known as the "Void Knight"!

The other side is attempting to use these people's influence in society to secretly overthrow the world and welcome the so-called "Symbiotic God" Nal to descend upon Earth!
All of this sounded so crazy and terrifying, as if an apocalyptic catastrophe was about to strike.

However, since Misty Knight had only recently joined the group, she did not know how the shoe cultists would carry out this plan.

Furthermore, due to her low rank within the organization, she naturally had no access to the true identities of these high-society figures, nor to the mysterious Void Knight who controlled numerous Symbiotes… Consequently, she was unable to help the police uncover these potential threats.

Now, perhaps only Dihar knows the true identities of everyone.

But when Inspector Frank Cassel obtained the formal search and arrest warrants and arrived at the church again with a team of officers, he found it deserted.

The church doors were wide open, and the group of shoe believers, including Dihar, disappeared as if they had been informed in advance.

So the police came up empty-handed once again.

Although Gwen felt incredibly sorry for this, she was powerless to do anything about it and could only refocus her hopes on finding the beacon underground in New York.

She believed she would find the answer she was looking for there!

“Peter, it looks like we need to speed things up…”

Gwen watched the ambulance drive away, and said seriously, "Whether those guys really want to overthrow the world or not, we must stop their evil deeds before they complete their plans!"

“That’s right.” Peter Parker clenched his fist. “No matter what, we will never let them succeed.”

……

In an abandoned tunnel miles underground in New York, Deehar, who had escaped police pursuit, knelt at Eddie Block's feet like a frightened mouse.

"Lord Void Knight, this was truly an accident. Please, give me another chance..."

Dihar's voice trembled, with a hint of sobbing, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between her teeth. She pressed her head firmly against the ground, as if hoping to beg for a sliver of pity.

"You still have the nerve to ask me for a chance?"

Eddie Brock grabbed the man by the neck, lifted his slender body off the ground and brought him in front of him, roaring with a ferocious expression:
"It's all because of your incompetence, you useless piece of trash! I lost over a hundred Symbiotes for nothing, and I almost exposed the real plan. I'm already being incredibly lenient by not eating your brain on the spot!"

Dihar's face was flushed red from lack of oxygen, but he dared not struggle at all, only pleading desperately:

“My lord, no one could have imagined that old man Frank Cassel would be able to summon Spider Woman’s help in such a short time. My symbiote warriors are no match for those guys…”
