Godslayer in the Marvel Universe

Chapter 29 The Impulse That Was Missed

The scene before me is far too brutal!

The hands and feet of such a large person were torn off by brute force.

The cracking sound of tendons snapping violently assaulted Gwen's auditory nerves, making her feel nauseous.

She held back; she had so many questions for Peter—was it her fault that he became like this?

"Wait!" Her shout finally made the burly man in front of her stop.

He tossed aside the still-twitching, rotting limbs as if they were trash, and stepped on the still-writhing body.

"Hurry up! I feel nauseous just looking at this thing."

Parker's once handsome face is now even more gruesome, as large chunks of rotting flesh have peeled off from his face as it rubs violently against the concrete floor of the abandoned house, making him look even more terrifying.

"Parker! Did I make you like this...?"

The only response to Gwen was that indistinct, inhuman roar.

Instead, she got the answer from the giant, who pulled out a flashlight: "How is that possible? This thing has been rotting for at least several months."

Gwen could actually see Parker's condition without the help of lights, but she was too scared to notice.

Parker's spider suit was filthy; rotting flesh and the tears in his clothes were stuck together and stank. Gwen even saw a beast-like bite mark on his abdomen.

"this……"

"This is Peter Parker from the zombie universe," Ang replied.

"Zombie universe? Wait! Do you know who he is?" Gwen suddenly realized.

"In that universe, a terrible virus swept across the entire Earth, corrupting all the extraordinary heroes and turning them into terrifying zombies. Then they devoured all the mortals. On that Earth, the zombie Spider-Man Peter Parker was very famous." At this point, Ang's voice lowered: "Originally, these guys should all have been sealed off and unable to leave the zombie universe."

Gwen clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turning white beneath her gloves. "What... should I do?"

Ang pulled a piece of paper from his waist, on which was printed a secure phone number: "Call me immediately if you spot a zombie hero."

"Okay!" Gwen accepted the note, then suddenly remembered another question: "Wait, you said he's Parker from another world."

"Yes."

"So, Peter in this world..."

"He shouldn't be dead."

"Phew!" Gwen took a deep breath and exhaled. "This is the best news I've heard since I met him."

At Ang's feet, the zombie Peter, despite having lost all four limbs, still struggled like a vicious venomous insect, even attempting to bite Ang's feet.

Unfortunately, Ang wasn't wearing Kratos's Greek sandals, but rather a pair of boots made of the same material as his spacesuit.

"Is there anything else you want to ask him?"

Gwen glanced at that hideous, grotesque face one last time, then looked away as if she'd been electrocuted: "That's all."

The next second, the combined power of 33 points suddenly erupted, and Ang stomped on the zombie Peter's head as if he had crushed a watermelon.

As a large mass of red souls rose from the corpse and entered Ang's chest, the light screen on his retina immediately lit up.

[Congratulations, host, on successfully defeating the zombie Spider-Man, Peter Parker.]

【宿主获得以下属性加成：体质+1，敏捷+18、智力+2、感知+7、意志+3！】

[Congratulations, host, you have temporarily acquired the following skills: Wall Climbing Lv3, Radiation Resistance Lv4, Vampire Virus Resistance Lv3, Clairvoyance Lv1.]

[The host has gained an upgrade to the duration of the Constitution-based branch skill (Peak Physical Fitness) for 60 minutes.]

[The host has acquired an agility-based branch skill (Rope Manipulation): This is a variant of Spider-Man's web-manipulation technique, which can greatly enhance the host's control over rope-type weapons.]

Make big money!

Even as a zombie, Spider-Man remains a master of agility, gaining a significant agility boost, and Ang is no exception.

If he were to kill a normal Spider-Man, he would probably gain more attributes beyond just physical attributes, but Ang is already quite satisfied with what he has now.

Without wearing Kratos's suit, Ang's overall stats are: Constitution 19, Dexterity 41, Strength 21, Intelligence 17, Wisdom 24, Willpower 27.

With the Kratos suit's bonus of +5 Constitution and +12 Strength, he no longer has any weaknesses in the strict sense.

Ang quickly glanced at the upgrade, then looked away, casually tossed aside a piece of the zombie Peter's remains, and dropped the last incendiary bomb.

"Whoa!"

The raging flames destroyed the last traces of yet another zombie hero who had invaded this world.

Gwen remained silent as she walked out of the abandoned house.

"Go back and get a good night's sleep. The sun will rise in New York as usual tomorrow," Ang's voice sounded behind her.

Gwen's body trembled violently, her voice already trembling with tears: "I just helped destroy my childhood sweetheart, and then tomorrow I'll act like nothing happened and greet him in this world with 'Hi'?"

Ang shrugged.

Sure enough, no matter which parallel world it is, whether Gwen lost Peter or Peter failed to save Gwen and caused her death, these two seem to be incompatible, and one of them is always going to suffer.

"Perhaps, this is fate."

Gwen seemed to be trying to force a smile, then suddenly realized she was still wearing the Spider-Woman mask: "Yeah, whatever your motives, you saved my life. I don't even know your name yet, uh, a code name will do."

Kratos.

"Alright, Mr. Kratos, here's a taste of New York girl's gratitude."

Gwen spoke as she moved closer.

Ang sensed something was wrong; his reason told him that the girl opposite him was clearly not acting rationally.

Gwen slowly pulled up her mask, or rather, only halfway up, stopping at her nose, revealing a fair and delicate chin.

Ang noticed that clear droplets were constantly sliding down her cheeks; they were Gwen's tears.

"Whatever you're planning to do, if you mess around now, you'll regret it tomorrow," Ang warned her in a stern voice.

However, a pair of soft arms still rested on his shoulders.

The four lips are placed together.

It's a bit salty.

That's the taste of Gwen's tears.

However, the atmosphere was gone.

Even a complete idiot like Gwen could tell that she was kissing a suit, not a living person. She suddenly gave a bitter smile: "As expected! Wearing a mask allows me to abandon my good girl persona and indulge in my true self. And you, even with a mask on, are still a gentleman."

She was wrong, Ang told her with his claws, she was terribly wrong.

"You've got something wrong. When it comes to killing enemies, I can do whatever's convenient for me. But with women, I prefer to take them by force, to seize their body and soul in one fell swoop, rather than giving them a chance to tell themselves that it was just a momentary impulse."

Gwen jerked back, realizing for the first time that this mysterious Kratos seemed to be very different from her ideals and values.

After a brief moment of shock, she came to her senses.

"Phew! You gave up the prize, so don't blame me."

"Oh."

Gwen suddenly swung her right arm, and the spider silk on her wrist shot out, pulling her body backward at high speed.

At that moment, Gwen's voice drifted from afar: "Until we meet again, Mr. Kratos. I hope next time will be as you wish."
