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

Chapter 519 The Lightning That Gets Beaten

Flash is being beaten, or rather, he's been being beaten ever since he started impersonating Spider-Man.

In most cases, this is not Venom's fault. Apart from Sandman and Electro, no one in the Sinister Six can numerically overpower Venom, and Electro is not a problem with the Speed ​​Suit.

However, Lightning's combat experience was practically zero. Compared to Peter, who started out fighting ordinary gangsters and accumulated experience, his starting position was far too high, especially when the enemy included former mercenaries like Sandman.

"Little Spider usually has to fight these guys. Whew, I find each one hard to stop, and there are six of them, no, usually more."

Having just escaped the torment of the Sandman and the Scorpion, Lightning encountered an even more troublesome situation. What did he see? He saw the NYPD, equipped with gear designed by Doctor Octopus, charging towards him?

My God, is this still the NYPD? Shouldn't you be standing with an Avenger? (Even if it's an imposter)

It's obvious that there are bad guys in the police force, and a lot of them.

Venom didn't care. From the beginning, Peter Parker didn't have much affection for the entire NYPD. Apart from a few police officers, the entire NYPD could be described as a cesspool. Back when Daredevil debuted, he finally gathered enough evidence to get the FBI to arrest Kingpin, and guess what?

The NYPD went directly to the streets and engaged in a shootout with the FBI, managing to hijack Kingpin's prison van!
This group of goods is clearly not something we can count on.

"Okay, the fake Spider-Man's escape continues... Is Spider-Man really alright? I mean, it's been eight or nine hours and he still hasn't shown up."

He's not dead, I can feel it, so I'll continue.

"Okay, it's getting dark. I hope they'll realize Spider-Man needs rest too! What is this?!"

The road ahead suddenly became enormous, as if the lightning had shrunk. Then, a colossal archmage with a fishbowl-shaped head appeared in the sky. He stretched out his hand towards the lightning and roared.

"How dare you show your face here?! Spider-Man! You shouldn't be here!"

"What's going on?! Magic?!"

[Obviously not, this is just a hallucination.]

Lightning quickly began to retreat, then was slapped to the ground by Mysterio. The pain was so intense that he felt several of his ribs were broken, and he couldn't help but curse, "Is this a fucking hallucination?"

[Advanced hallucination, without a doubt. Wait a minute, I remember the suit has brainwave imaging and sonar detection. Let me activate them for you.]

As the signal appeared, another layer of scenery appeared before Lightning's eyes, composed of blurry outlines, beyond his visual perception. Logic told him that those lines and outlines were reality, but the problem was...

He only knew the outlines, but couldn't recognize what they were at all.

"The tall ones are buildings, and the short ones are cars?"

Venom didn't know either, because he wasn't familiar with these things.

On the other hand, Lightning habitually cannot actively accept this information; he still relies more on his vision. So when the ground beneath his feet begins to change, he involuntarily starts running, but the ground beneath his feet moves even faster, making him doubt whether he can escape.

Venom sighed helplessly.

[You're Spider-Man! Running is nothing compared to Spider-Man! Swing around, bro!]

"Oh, right, I forgot." Fortunately, Venom still had the ability to shoot webs, so Lightning quickly shot out a web, stuck to the outline of the building, and then swung up. But Mysterio's illusions had undoubtedly caught up with him, and he couldn't shake them off no matter what he did. Then, he saw something running towards him at high speed.

"Um, what's that, a truck?"

Venom examined the outline of the thing carefully.

No, worse, it was a rhinoceros.

Lightning was thrown out in an instant, but fortunately, the venom protected him, and the rhino didn't have any weapons specifically designed to target symbiotes. After rolling around on the ground a few times, Lightning's pain ended with him simply opening his mouth and closing his eyes, and he immediately got up.

"I have a bad feeling..."

[My feeling is even worse. Doctor Octopus seems to have finished his work and is planning to take care of you now. The Sinister Six seem to be gathering.]

"Really? What should we do then?"

What else could we do? Run for our lives.

Lightning sighed helplessly and began to run away quickly. Sure enough, sandstorms swept around, and Sandman caught up with him. Scorpion and Electro joined the battle. It could be said that the entire Sinister Six, except for Doctor Octopus, were all here.

Their only goal is to eliminate Spider-Man.

At this moment, what lightning needs to do is to protect itself as much as possible.

It was at this time.

A spider web stuck to Flash's back and pulled him away quickly, freeing him from the fighting. Overjoyed, Flash looked at his savior, thinking it was Spider-Man, but it wasn't. It was another Spider-Woman who occasionally appeared and partnered with Spider-Man.

"Oh, sorry, um, actually..."

“I know you did the right thing,” Silk interrupted him quickly. “People need to know that Spider-Man is still fighting.”

"Spider-Man is still fighting, and so am I!" Although Jonah Jameson was no longer on television, he continued to report on the radio: "Like I said, we will not stop fighting! Until we liberate our city! We will press on and no matter if the enemy is an octopus or some other animal, they will not be able to take over our city."

"I have a feeling he said something like this before, except he was talking about a little spider instead of some other animal..."

“Never mind all that.” Cindy looked at the sinister group of six (actually five) in front of her and expressed her opinion to Lightning: “I don’t know who you are, or why Venom is helping you, but you did the right thing, and we need your help now.”

"Oh, yes, okay?"

"Follow me, we need to shake off these guys and then find Spider-Man. He's in a bit of trouble and needs your help."

Hearing that he could help Spider-Man, Flash smiled: "Of course, no problem. We're going to sound the alarm for our counterattack, right?"

Cindy remained silent; a counterattack would likely have to wait for Otto to make the first move.
