Kamen Rider ZZZ, the American comic book spiritual mentor

In the center of the Osborne Building, Lin Nan vaguely saw a figure wreathed in eerie green flames.

It looks almost identical to the Green Goblin, but is even more ferocious and pure, its body wreathed in eerie green flames, like a visitor from hell.

This is the Green Goblin personality! It can also be called Lin Nan's first nightmare in this world!

The Green Goblin personality discovered the intruder, a sinister smile spreading across his face: "An intruder discovered... Interesting..."

Lin Nan calmly said, "Green Goblin, Harry is still waiting for his father outside. Hand him over."

Although the two beings were a thousand meters apart, Lin Nan's words echoed throughout the entire dream world, and could be heard clearly.

Chapter 30 The First Nightmare

Upon hearing Harry's name, the Green Goblin's figure jolted.

But then, his anger was replaced by overwhelming fury: "Shut up! I'm the one protecting him! Not the cowardly Norman Osborn! Anyone who wants to hurt him, anyone who wants to destroy the Osborn family, must die!"

The Green Goblin persona suddenly stood up, and in the dream space, countless shattered green fireballs transformed into a destructive torrent, sweeping towards Lin Nan.

Lin Nan's eyes narrowed, and the wing form instantly enveloped his body. He then took to the air, weaving through the air to evade attacks.

The moment he successfully transformed, Lin Nan noticed that the armor in the dream seemed to have even better performance.

Without wasting words, Lin Nan made his move, switching to his Impact form and charging straight at the Green Goblin persona.

With incredible speed, the fist instantly unleashed a burst of violent red energy, hurtling towards the Green Goblin persona.

With a single punch, the Green Goblin persona was sent flying backward.

"Norman, look what you've done! You've created a monster, you've pushed Harry and the Osborn family into the abyss!"

"Wake up!!"

Lin Nan tightened his body, and with a roar, he punched again, causing cracks to appear in the Green Demon's mask.

Bang! Another punch, and the faceplate shattered.

After three punches, Norman Osborn's pained expression was fully revealed.

"Norman, Harry doesn't need a monster father, and the Osborn family doesn't need a mad leader. Wake up!"

Three consecutive punches made the Green Goblin personality tremble all over, and the mad flames in his eyes began to recede, replaced by reason.

Three punches to wake up the old Green Goblin, he really has the air of a bully.

Lin Nan released his grip, and couldn't help but sigh, realizing that in some ways, fists were much better than words.

“Harry…I, what did I do…” A voice filled with remorse rang out.

Immediately afterwards, the entire dream space began to shake violently and collapse.

Lin Nan felt a strong repulsive force coming from him, and he knew that Norman Osborne was about to wake up.

He did not force himself to stay in the dream space. He closed his eyes and his consciousness retreated through the portal he had come from.

Inside the real-life safe house, Lin Nan suddenly opened his eyes. Although he was drenched in cold sweat, his eyes were bright and alert.

Just now, when he shattered the Green Goblin's persona with three punches, he felt his synchronization rate and compatibility steadily improving.

[Mental synchronization rate: 32%]

[Dream Compatibility: 48%]

Could it be that targeting this nightmare-like second personality would increase synchronization rate and compatibility?

Moreover, he could sense that this improvement was not temporary like the previous battle with the whip, but rather more solid.

Even if it falls back later, it will still retain a considerable proportion.

But given the current situation, he didn't have time to think further; he suddenly looked at Norman on the bed.

The twisted blood vessels on Norman's body began to recede, his pale green skin gradually returned to normal, and his goblin-like nose slowly descended.

Norman frowned, tears streaming down his face, his eyes closed, and he murmured something unconsciously.

Peter jumped up in surprise and called out in a trembling voice, "Uncle Norman..."

Lin Nan sat up and checked, then breathed a sigh of relief: "He's back. Although the Green Goblin personality wasn't completely eliminated, at least Norman Osborn has taken control."

Then he looked at Peter: "This is just a small problem; the real problem is how to clean it up."

"We need to properly handle his armor, and also figure out where he can recuperate. These are all things we need to consider."

Peter nodded vigorously: "Harry still has his father, so there is hope. Lynn, what should we do?"

Lin Nan remained silent, sitting quietly in her chair, deep in thought. This incident had happened too suddenly; there had been no well-thought-out plan whatsoever.

What can we utilize now?

But then, the numbers on his wrist began to jump: [Causality Value +150]

Current causality value: 166/500

Six! Although this incident lacked meticulous planning and caused considerable trouble afterward, the gains in karmic points were equally enormous.

What worries him now is that, although Norman Osborn has been rescued, given General Ross's personality, this matter will certainly not be left unresolved.

The military will definitely be frantically searching for the Green Goblin's whereabouts, the Osborn Corporation is about to face annihilation, and he and his accomplices Peter Parker may also be in danger.

"Lin...he seems to be waking up!" Peter's exclamation interrupted Lin Nan's thoughts.

Norman's eyelids were trembling violently, as if he was about to open them. And the armor on his body, as if with the fading of the Green Goblin personality, began to lose its activity, the faint green light disappearing without a trace.

"Help him remove the armor." Lin Nan stood up and walked over.

The two carefully untangled the complex connecting structures and piled the armor fragments aside.

After the faceplate was completely removed, Osborne's bloodless face was fully exposed to the light.

He looked more than ten years older, no longer the decisive scientist and business tycoon he once was, but rather like a frail old man.

Peter found clean water and a towel and wiped the blood off Norman's body.

Lin Nan noticed that Norman Osborn's wounds, which hadn't been healing particularly slowly, had slowed down. Within the mangled wounds, faint threads of green energy could be seen weaving and coiling around them.

"Is it the energy of the Green Goblin serum that's hindering the healing? Or is it a lingering effect left because the Green Goblin personality wasn't completely eliminated?"

Lin Nan's heart sank slightly. What if there was a next time, and he tried the full version of the Knight Kick in his dream?

However, this also carries risks. The Green Goblin personality is different from Nightmare in the original story; he and Norman Osborn are one entity.

Will using the Knight Kick obliterate the main personality as well? Let's not use it for now; kicking Norman into a vegetative state would be the end of us.

I'll find a hopeless scoundrel to mess with later.

And there was no time to think about it now. Lin Nan took out a simple medical kit and gave Norman a simple bandage and disinfection.

Just as Lin Nan was tending to his wounds, Norman Osborne suddenly opened his eyes.

His chest heaved violently, as if he were having a nightmare. His gaze first swept aimlessly across the ceiling, then finally focused on the faces of the two young men beside him.

“Peter?” Norman’s voice was hoarse and incredulous, then he waved his hands in an attempt to cover his face.

But the excruciating pain caused him to groan, and his face grew even paler.

Peter quickly pressed him down: "Uncle Norman, don't move around, you're badly injured today."

"Don't worry, you're safe now."

“It’s safe now…” Norman murmured to himself, his eyes vacant and unfocused.

Then came a flood of chaotic memories: the hearing, the stock price crash, the desperate gamble, and the boundless darkness and distortion that followed the serum injection.

“Harry! Where is he now? What have I done? Ross…” As more memories returned, Osborn was overwhelmed with regret and pain.

Peter gripped Norman's hands tightly: "Uncle Norman, listen to me, you're safe now, and Harry is alright too."

"Those things weren't done by you, they were done by the second personality that your serum gave you!"

"I didn't do it?" Norman looked down at his hands, then at the damaged green armor beside him.

The overwhelming hatred and the desire to destroy everything that flashed through my mind are still vivid in my mind.

“No, that’s what I did. My ambition and stubbornness gave birth to it. I almost killed Ross… I became a monster. How am I supposed to face Harry?!” He clutched his head, sobbing uncontrollably.

At this moment, Norman Osborn, the once powerful, ambitious, and perpetually cold-blooded businessman, was gone.

All that remained was a middle-aged man filled with self-reproach and self-loathing.

Lin Nan didn't comfort him, because he knew that humans are creatures who will never give up until they see the Yellow River.

Only by making him confront the demons he created and face the horror of his own inner darkness can he suddenly awaken and completely change.

“Mr. Osborne, now is not the time for you to break down,” Lin Nan interrupted Norman’s sobs.

"General Ross will not let this go. You, me, Parker, and the Osborn family will all be in danger. You need to pull yourself together!"

Norman slowly raised his head and looked at the mysterious young Asian man.

This mysterious young man had deep black pupils that were bright and piercing, exuding mystery and composure.

Did he and Parker rescue me together?

He then recalled fragments of memories from his dream. Although incomplete, he could clearly understand that it was this young man who had dispelled the Green Goblin personality and saved him.

"Who exactly are you?" Norman asked, his tone tinged with wariness after years of navigating the business world.

"My name is Lin Nan, and I'm Harry and Peter's friend."

"friend..."

“Mr. Osborne, everyone has secrets. Our priority now is to resolve this problem,” Lin Nan interrupted Norman’s questioning.

Chapter 31 A Hero's Decisive Move

"You know the situation is very serious. General Ross will soon find out Green Goblin's exact identity. What will happen when the military hunts him down and the company collapses?"
