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

Chapter 400, Chapters 716 and 717: Crisis-ridden
"You are... Spider Woman? What are you doing here?"

Eddie Brock looked slightly confused after seeing the attire of the person who attacked him, but was immediately jolted awake by a chilling sensation and stared in astonishment at the eight unusually sharp 'spider legs' behind Gwen!
"What's going on? Why do I feel a threat of death from those 'spider legs'?"

Before Eddie Brock could figure out the real reason for his heart palpitation, Gwen had already charged in front of him, two sharp [Hell Spider Spears] piercing through the massive black shield that Eddie Brock had temporarily conjured with his arms, and embedding themselves in his shoulders.

"Puff-"

The excruciating pain filled Eddie Brock with both fear and rage. He immediately launched a flying kick, sending the already furious Gwen flying.

"This...what the hell is going on?"

Eddie Block glanced sideways at the slowly 'healing' wound on his shoulder, and questioned the [Grendel] attached to him with some disbelief:

"Why is the wound healing so slowly? And... just now I felt like that thing was sucking my life force... no, maybe even my soul!!"

Glendell's voice then echoed in his mind, "That's right. Although I don't know what those things are, I can definitely feel that they are dangerous and deadly... Eddie, you'd better not get hit in a vital spot, otherwise, I'm afraid even I can't save you!"

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Eddie Brock was immediately shocked, roaring in his mind, "She's just a mere street hero, how could she possibly defeat me?"

"I am the Void Knight, whose power was personally bestowed upon me by Lord Nal!!"

However, despite saying that, Eddie Brock gave orders to the thousands of symbiote warriors who were wandering like zombies under the Beacon Tree not far away when Gwen charged at him again.

"Kill all three of those troublesome guys!!"

Although Eddie Brock was still unsure whether the three Spider-Women had stumbled upon this place by accident or had sensed something beforehand... in any case, now that they had discovered the Beacon Tree, they were destined to die here today.

Otherwise, his plan might be leaked.

As the order was given, the thousands of symbiote warriors who had been wandering around the Beacon Tree like zombies suddenly seemed to come alive, yelling as they charged toward Gwen and her companions.

"Damn it, we've stirred up a hornet's nest..."

Harry Osborn grumbled as he piloted the Demon Glider, dodging the frenzied attacks from the ground-based symbiote warriors.

Black spiderwebs rained down like a curtain of rain, and Harry Osborn had become like a flying insect desperately trying to escape the 'spider army', with no energy left to provide remote support to Gwen in the distance.

Peter the lizard below him immediately abandoned him and, like a heavily armored tank, launched a savage and fearless charge towards Gwen, whose figure had already been overwhelmed by the symbiote army.

"Gwen, don't be afraid, I'm here to protect you..."

Any symbiote warriors who dared to block Peter the Lizard's path were instantly knocked away by him.

Those who attempted to ambush from behind were all swept away by the terrifying giant tail, which resembled a steel whip.

At this moment, Peter the lizard, driven by love, is unstoppable!

If Slaanesh and Khorne hadn't been somewhat at odds over their beliefs regarding believers, Peter the Lizard might have become a 'chosen one' as well.

Upon seeing this, Harry Osborn immediately shouted, "No, brother, I need your protection now too! Don't fucking leave me here alone, okay?"

However, the reply he received was, "Harry, my good brother, hang in there! I'll be right back to rescue you after I get Gwen out!!"

With that, Peter the Lizard charged headlong into the wave of symbiote warriors, leaving a bewildered Harry Osborn alone in the endless 'spider web storm'.

Σ(⊙▽⊙“a!!!

Waaaaah, Peter, you heartless bastard who forgets his friends for the sake of women...

"Hmph, I'd like to see how long the three of you can hold out!"

Eddie Brock flapped his wings and landed on a section of the Beacon Tree trunk, looking down at Gwen and the others as they were surrounded by the army of symbiote warriors. A smug grin crept across his face.

If he could, he didn't actually want to kill Gwen and the other two directly, but rather wanted to use the [Loyal Symbiote] to turn them into his subordinates.

After all, he had never before tried to transform natural 'superpowered' individuals like Gwen and Peter the Lizard into symbiote warriors and what unexpected effects it would produce.

However, opportunities and risks go hand in hand!
If the combination of the two can create a brand new, powerful symbiote warrior, it would be both a good thing and a bad thing for Eddie Brock.

Because once Gwen and the others' consciousness are no longer controlled by the [Loyalist Symbiote], Eddie Brock's actions are tantamount to creating three... no, not counting that weakling in the mech in mid-air, he is essentially creating two powerful enemies for himself.

So after much deliberation, Eddie Brock chose the safest course of action at the moment: to kill Gwen and the other two to silence them!
Below the beacon tree.

Peter the Lizard finally managed to reach Gwen, but by then his body was covered in wounds, some of which were so deep that the bone was visible. These wounds were all left by the group of crazed symbiote warriors.

However, with the blessing of the power of Khorne, the pain in Peter's body was greatly reduced, and seeing that his goddess was safe and sound, he felt even less pain.

Because... as long as the goddess glances at you even once, then all the sacrifices are worthwhile!
"Gwen, what do we do? There are just too many symbiote warriors here. If this continues, we'll never be able to catch that guy."

As Peter the Lizard recovered and used his massive tail to sweep away swarms of charging symbiote warriors, he pointed to the passageway where the three had come from and said to Gwen, who was perched on his shoulder:

"Should we retreat outside before these symbiote warriors completely block the passage?"

"Otherwise, the three of us might end up being worked to death here..."

This is not because Lizard Peter is afraid; on the contrary, his strong desire to protect his goddess has made him incredibly fierce and brimming with fighting spirit!
However, the number of enemies was simply too great, and they were unable to bring themselves to kill these 'innocents' whose consciousness was being controlled by the [symbiote], which hampered their actions at every turn.

"Peter, you and Harry get out of here first... I want to try one last time!"

A vengeful glint appeared on Gwen's face beneath the mask. On one hand, she didn't want Peter and Harry to die because of her wrong decision; on the other hand, she couldn't bear to watch her father's killer walk away unscathed. This was because Eddie Brock's public identity remained that of a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and a member of the New Avengers.

Therefore, if Gwen loses the current opportunity and tries to take action against Eddie Brock, it would be equivalent to simultaneously waging war against both S.H.I.E.L.D. and the New Avengers!
Gwen believed that no matter how much Homelander valued her image as a couple, they would never take such a huge risk to help her fight against these two organizations.

what?
Why doesn't Gwen reveal the truth that Eddie Brock is the "Void Knight"?

It's simple: Gwen wants to personally kill Eddie Brock to avenge her father's tragic death.

If she chooses to expose the other party's true identity, Eddie Brock will inevitably be secretly imprisoned by S.H.I.E.L.D. and imprisoned in a secret prison that Gwen may never be able to find in her entire life.

This is not the outcome she wanted!

So... Gwen decided to try one last time.

"I do not go."

Peter the Lizard's expression hardened, like a warrior determined to die on the battlefield, and he resolutely said:
"Harry should go first!!"

"Gwen, as long as you don't leave here, I won't leave... No matter what happens, I will fight alongside you until the very last moment!"

However, when Harry Osborn, who was frantically dodging attacks like a headless fly, heard Peter the Lizard's heartfelt words, he was immediately stunned.

Good, good, Peter, you've really got something going on. So I'm the one who's superfluous now?

I really shouldn't have come here with you two!

I should be under the car, not in the car, seeing how sweet you are…

"Thank you, Peter."

A sweet smile appeared on Gwen's face beneath the mask, but she immediately shook her head at Peter the Lizard, who was fighting bravely as if he had been injected with adrenaline. "Although I have reasons to stay here, I cannot let you and Harry be in danger because of my personal reasons... So, you two should leave here as soon as possible."

Then, before Peter the Lizard could speak, she leaped upwards and simultaneously shot a spider silk towards the Beacon Tree. Her slender figure swayed and undulated, bringing her closer and closer to Eddie Brock above.

"Gwen, I won't leave..."

Just as Peter the Lizard was about to shout his thoughts upwards, he suddenly heard his friend Harry Osborn calling for help from behind, "Peter, help! I need your help!!"

The Devil Glider beneath Harry Osborn's feet was now stuck to several strands of black spider silk.

Even worse, before Harry Osborn could break free of the spider web by adjusting his flight direction, a deluge of more spider silk and webs rained down from below, completely trapping him.

Fortunately, he hasn't been pulled off the [Demon Glider] yet, otherwise he would definitely have been instantly devoured by the hungry symbiote warriors below.

"Harry, hang in there, I'm coming to save you."

Seeing this, Peter the Lizard rushed toward where Harry Osborn was, completely ignoring the attacks coming from behind.

Meanwhile, Gwen, after several shifts in position, stood opposite Eddie Brock once more. Without a word, she thrust forward with the eight Hellspears she carried on her back.

"He's really a troublesome guy..."

Eddie Brock nimbly leaped backward, successfully dodging the attack. However, due to the threat of the Hellspear, he still cleverly chose not to confront Gwen head-on. Instead, he awakened all the symbiote warriors in the vicinity who were releasing their mental energy in the 'tree holes' of the Beacon Tree, and had them attack Gwen in his place.

This trick really worked.

Gwen, who had been so aggressive, was suddenly halted by the swarming symbiote warriors, and the Hellspear on her back went from offense to defense.

Gwen was furious and yelled at Eddie Brock while fighting, "You coward, come and fight me one-on-one if you dare!"

However, Eddie Brock wasn't fooled. His large, fanged mouth twisted into a smug grin as he said with a hint of schadenfreude:

"Tsk tsk tsk, why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? I didn't even need to do it myself... This method of dealing with self-proclaimed righteous guys like you is always effective!!"

Gwen was furious upon hearing this, but she was helpless against the other party.

Just then, Eddie Brock suddenly pointed to a spot below the Beacon Tree, grinning maliciously as he warned:
"Spider Woman, your two little henchmen are going to die!"

"Peter, Harry?!"

Gwen quickly looked in the direction of the direction and saw Harry Osborn lying on the ground at some point, being tightly protected by Peter the Lizard. Around the two of them were layers upon layers of densely packed symbiote warriors.

The two were in a very precarious situation!
"you……"

In an instant, Gwen made her choice. Although she desperately wanted to skin Eddie Brock alive, she couldn't bear to watch her friend die because of her.

"Eddie Brock, you despicable bastard, I will never let you get away with this!"

With that, Gwen leaped into the air, using a spider web to propel her slender figure directly toward the direction where Peter the Lizard and Harry Osborn were trapped.

Eddie Brock stood frozen, as if struck by lightning, his long, narrow eyes fixed on Gwen's retreating figure. He said in disbelief:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible?!"
