I'm not Spider-Man, even though I'm parasitized by an alien!

“I know, but right now, I can’t lose him. I’m sorry, Gloria.”

Gwen broke free from Gloria's hand, grabbed the barbed wire, and prepared to climb.

But when her gaze fell upon a Mercedes-Benz parked in the laboratory building, she quickly came up with an idea.

Gwen jumped off the wire gate and ran towards the Mercedes as fast as she could.

"Get out of here, Glory, it's not safe here."

On the other side, inside the playground.

Peter stood opposite Frank.

Apart from the crackling flames burning on the entire playground and the student lying on the ground, whose life or death was unknown, there were only two other people.

Frank wiped the dust off his forehead and eyes, revealing several scarlet eyes that gleamed with an eerie red light.

“Peter Parker, I know you.”

Frank, his voice now hoarse and grating, said to Peter, “You and I are the same kind of people, both of us are the bullied weak.”

"Weakling? That's just you."

Peter shook his head expressionlessly, indicating that he disagreed with what the other person said.

"So what are you doing now? Are you avenging them?"

Frank pointed to the corpses on the ground not far away. "I am no longer the weak one. They are the weak one. It is perfectly normal for me to kill them, just like they bullied us back then."

"So why are you stopping me, Peter?"

Peter, faced with Frank who had transformed into a spider monster, was too lazy to waste any more words on him.

With a powerful stomp of his feet, he leaped towards the other side with a loud "thump," his fists like the claws of a wild beast, sending his opponent flying once more.

"You're overthinking it. I just want to kill you, no reason needed."

Peter had been suppressing the hunter's killing instincts generated by the alien within him, but now, seeing such a high-level prey before him, his restless desire as a superior predator could no longer be contained.

As for avenging the dead?

This idea didn't even cross his mind.

The Xenomorph genes not only affected his physical attributes such as strength and speed, but also profoundly impacted his mental state.

"Boom!"

The next second, Peter stomped his feet down on Frank's chest.

Frank, suddenly bursting with power, roared and grabbed Peter's right foot with both hands.

The sudden burst of force caused Frank to shove Peter away.

With lightning speed, he rose to his feet and lunged at Peter.

"boom!"

The ground shook, and the burning flames were jolted and sent flying in all directions.

Frank, possessing immense strength, knocked Peter down, then opened his gaping maw and thrust his fangs at Peter.

Peter, who was pinned down, stretched out his right hand to block the opponent's attack.

And his right arm was instantly covered with tough, black exoskeleton-like armor.

After withstanding the opponent's bite, Peter bent his knees and lifted them up.

The powerful force struck Frank's lower abdomen instantly, sending him flying backward.

"Oh!"

Frank's body slammed heavily onto the school's fire hydrant.

The two nuts of the damaged fire hydrant were ejected with a "bang," and a huge jet of water gushed out from the nozzle.

The high-pressure water flow transformed into a powerful impact, bombarding all directions.

The flashing electric sparks encountered the current, producing a loud "boom".

Peter, whose arm exoskeleton had disappeared, stood there watching Frank slowly stand up, his brow furrowed.

The opponent moved with the agility and speed of a spider, and possessed strength comparable to his own.

If it weren't for his extensive combat experience, he would have had a really tough time dealing with this mutated version of "Spider-Man".

but

Peter's eyes flashed with a cold light; it was precisely this high-class prey that made him start to take things seriously.

Chapter 22 No, you are just prey!

Frank grabbed the fire hydrant, intending to hit Peter with it.

Peter dodged the attack, then suddenly closed in, his arm transforming into alien-like claws as he stabbed towards the opponent's head.

A sharp screech of air rang out, accompanied by burning flames and splashing water droplets. Frank raised his arms to block Peter's attack.

As he transformed into a spider monster, his power continued to increase, and a formidable force erupted from within his body.

They grabbed Peter's arm, intending to throw him away.

"Bang"!

He threw Peter with all his might, but he also took a heavy blow to the chest.

He felt a sharp pain in his chest, took a few steps back, and bumped into a fire hydrant.

As he gasped for breath, a faint smile appeared on his lips, which had become inhuman, as he watched Peter being thrown out.

But his smile vanished as he watched Peter stand up again.

Peter stood up, his heart pounding and his body temperature rising.

An intense urge to kill spread from the depths of his heart throughout his entire body.

With a frown, he slowly stretched out his arm.

The arm, subjected to the impact of flames and water, slowly condensed into a layer of black silicified shell.

The siliconized shell, resembling an exoskeleton, gleamed coldly in the night, like a suit of armor.

Furthermore, this siliconized shell did not simply condense on the arm area as usual.

Instead, it continued to spread, rapidly covering the entire body like black flames.

The clothes he was wearing were also destroyed instantly.

A powerful yet intense sensation permeates the senses as the siliconized shell covers the area.

If before it was a feeling of being dominated by power, now it's a powerful and unbridled confidence, a confidence that comes from having power several times greater than before.

The exoskeleton, which fit snugly against his body, did not give him any sense of obstruction or discomfort, but rather a feeling of being incredibly close to his body.

"No, this is not clothing, it is bones."

Peter stared at the black, uniform-like exoskeleton covering his arm and muttered to himself.

Based on the information I have seen, the skeleton of the alien is usually generated using the host as a template (such as birds, reptiles, or even arthropods).

The external skin is tightly attached to the bones and silicified, which is the direct visual impression of the alien's external skin.

These exoskeletons are made of silicon compounds, and because the ossified skin has no thermal conductivity, they can adapt to various external environmental temperatures and pressures.

It also does not emit heat, making it undetectable by thermal imaging and other equipment.

This ossified skin is essentially like wearing a suit of armor; gunshots and electric shocks have little effect on it, and damage caused by high temperature, high pressure, and freezing is also greatly reduced.

Right now, I'm essentially wearing this armor.

In the distance, Frank stared in disbelief at Peter, who was now clad in a layer of "black armor."

The visually striking image caused his mind to briefly short-circuit.

"Peter, so you're just like me!"

After a while, Frank muttered something.

His plural eyes gleamed even redder as he addressed Peter, saying, "You and I, we are the same kind of people. You too are a monster with a beast lurking within you!"

兽？

Peter frowned when he heard Frank mention something familiar.

"Are you a member of the Hand?"

"No, I'm not, of course I'm not."

Frank shook his head and said resentfully, "But my father was like that. I like spiders, so he used me for animal experiments, planting so-called 'beasts' inside my body, wanting to harvest me. Maybe he didn't expect that I would awaken my abilities ahead of schedule by some twist of fate."

"And the result was that I wrapped him in a cocoon and ate him."

Amidst flames and splattering water, Frank made insect-like sounds.

He chuckled and walked towards Peter step by step.

“Now I want revenge, to hurt them, to hear them cry, to make them look ridiculous as they struggle to survive. Is there anything better than that?”

“Peter Parker, you are now like me, we are both monsters, but also gods. We don’t have to kill each other.”

However, before he could finish speaking, his voice abruptly stopped.

Peter, whose entire body was covered in a black exoskeleton, moved in front of Frank at several times the speed of before.

He grabbed him by the throat and lifted him into the air.

Caught in mid-air, Frank, who possessed multiple spider eyes, felt a sharp pain in his throat and looked at Peter with disbelief.

"You're wrong. You and I are not the same kind of people. In my eyes, you are just prey."

Frank gaped, managing to squeeze out a single word: "What?!"

"Whoosh!"

A tail-like weapon, covered in a black silicon shell and radiating a chilling aura, emerged from behind Peter and instantly pierced Frank's neck.

A chilling "tail" pierced through his right neck and exited on his left.
