Chapter 252 Doctor Destruction
"Stone Ghost Face?"
In the nursing home, the content of the tape left by the Phantom Thief has ended.
Tony's expression changed somewhat. This was not the first time he heard the name Stone Ghost Face.
"Unlucky, unlucky, unlucky, I didn't expect that this time the contained object not only contained a charm but was also connected to the stone ghost face." While complaining, the clone [Uncle Long] reached out and took the other half of the old white man's hand [ Tiger Talisman] Pick it up and put it together with the talisman you found earlier from the Evil Spider-Man.
The next moment, a stream of light flashed through, and the talisman that was originally split into two pieces suddenly came together tightly.
Immediately afterwards, with a shout, the good and evil Spider-Man standing on both sides turned into a human again.
"I changed back?!"
Looking down at his restored appearance, Peter shouted excitedly.
[From the legend of Tony Stark...]
[From the legend of Spider-Man Peter Parker...]
On the other side, Tony was also attracted by the scene of the two Spider-Man merging, and raised his eyebrows with a somewhat surprised expression.
On the other hand, Li Ran, who was in the antique shop, felt sorry for everything that ended in the nursing home. After all, the end of the matter meant that the legend that could have been obtained twice became one again.
"Kid, if I were you, I wouldn't act as happy as I do now."
Looking at the excited little spider, Tony couldn't help but remind him: "After all, under the influence of the spell's ability, I caused a lot of trouble by transforming into another you."
[From the legend of Spider-Man Peter Parker...]
Upon hearing Tony's reminder, the expression on Peter's face, which was still excited at first, immediately solidified.
He thought of what the evil Spider-Man had done during this period, especially his actions at the Daily Bugle, and he suddenly felt like he was mourning his heir.
"Mr. Stark, you know I didn't do any of these bad things."
Turning to look at Tony, the little spider looked depressed.
"I know, but the citizens of New York don't know." Tony shrugged and expressed regret.
"However, I can prove it for you, but there is no guarantee as to how effective it will be."
Although he has evidence of the evil Spider-Man in his hand, the impression has been formed and he wants to reverse it, which is obviously not something that can be done by relying solely on the evidence in Tony's hand. Especially as far as the Daily Bugle is concerned, the Evil Spider-Man offended J. Jonah Jameson too deeply. Even if there is evidence that proves that this was not what Peter did, J. Jonah Jameson will not believe it, or simply I decided it was fake.
"Thank you, Mr. Stark."
Nodding, Peter also knew that this was the best way at the moment.
However, thinking that he actually had to explain something that he clearly did not do, he inevitably felt a little depressed.
"Also, Mr. Long, if it weren't for you, I would still be worried about the spell."
Although he was worried about his future career as a superhero, Spider-Man still expressed his gratitude to his clone [Uncle Long].
"Handling contained objects is always part of my job."
Facing the little spider's thanks, the clone nodded and accepted it openly, without any feeling of embarrassment. He carefully put away the [Tiger Charm] that had been reconstituted into one piece in his hand, and turned to look at Peter and Tony in front of him.
"Now that [Tiger Talisman] has been contained, my work has come to an end. Next, I really need to go back to the foundation and tell the foundation about the stone ghost face."
"So, Mr. Stark, Aunt May is still waiting for me at home..."
Seeing the clone [Uncle Long] leave in a hurry, Peter hesitated for a moment and said goodbye to Tony.
In the nursing home, Tony looked at Peter's disappearing back and fell into deep thought.
"Stone Ghost Face?"
"Jarvis, immediately collect all information related to Stone Ghost Face for me.
"
"Okay, sir."
…
"Since when?"
In the laboratory, Victor looked at the busy researchers and asked coldly.
"Just last night."
Scanning the mask on Victor's face, the researcher quickly withdrew his gaze and answered cautiously: "Starting at 12:43, an unusual energy reaction occurred inside the meteorite. At first, the reaction was very weak. But within a few hours it gradually started to get stronger..."
"At first, we had nothing to do about this phenomenon, but as the experiment progressed..."
With that said, in the laboratory, a researcher wearing sterile protective clothing carefully placed an experimental seed next to the meteorite.
Immediately afterwards, a magical scene appeared in front of everyone.
The seeds next to the meteorite broke out of their shells instantly and sprouted green seedlings.
"This is what we discovered not long ago. The energy emitted by meteorites seems to have a special impact on living things."
[From the legend of Victor von Doom...]
[Legendary from researchers...]
In the laboratory, Victor looked at the seedlings growing next to the meteorite. His eyes flickered under the mask, and his originally steady breathing became faster.
"To continue the experiment, I need more accurate research data,"
Suppressing his excitement, he gave instructions to the person in charge of meteorite research in the laboratory. Victor took a deep look at the meteorite in the center of the laboratory and then turned around.
"Sir, you should probably take a look at this."
Seeing Victor sitting over, the secretary who had been waiting aside quickly stepped forward and handed over the tablet in his hand.
…
"This is?"
Lowering his head and looking at the video displayed on the tablet, Victor's face under the mask showed surprise.
The scene that freezes at the beginning of the video is the scene where Reed is talking to Susan in the laboratory of the Bartholomew Building.
However, looking at the smiling Susan in the video, Victor's heart did not move at all. The radiation from the space storm changed his body and also indirectly affected his emotions. Under the influence of the gradually metalized body, Victor's emotions also became colder.
"This is the experimental process recorded by the monitor in the Bash Building not long ago. Reed built a machine that can produce cosmic storms. He used this machine to conduct an experiment half an hour ago. It's just a pity. The experiment was not successful."
Listening to the secretary's introduction, Victor stretched out his black-gloved finger and pointed at the screen in his hand.
As the video started playing, he saw Reed walking into the machine. Following a dazzling white light, the machine's hatch opened and Reed, who was standing inside, walked out.
Seeing Reed walking out of the machine, Victor raised his eyebrows under the mask. If he hadn't heard his secretary tell him that the experiment failed, just by the look on Reed's face, he would have almost thought that the other person was The experiment has been successful. What happened next was just as the secretary said. A few seconds later, in the video, Reid, who was still standing there and ignoring, soon had a problem. His face began to droop, and then the next second The arms and body all dropped to the ground like melted rubber. In the video, facing the situation he encountered, Reed continued to say to the anxious Susan: "I can do it, the machine can run, I just More energy is needed to control cosmic storms in space..."
"More energy."
Hearing what Reed kept saying to Susan in the video, a strange color flashed in Victor's eyes under the mask, and he immediately turned to the secretary beside him and ordered: "Take Ben to the Bartlett Building immediately."
Although Victor's body has begun to gradually mutate under the influence of cosmic storm radiation, the entire change process is still too slow. At the same time, his control over the power of lightning is not as powerful as expected. He is currently able to produce The electric current is not only far inferior to that of Thor, one of the members of the Avengers, but even the Electron King who caused a big trouble in New York cannot compare with it.
This result obviously made Victor feel dissatisfied.
Because he wanted to gain more power and was not satisfied with the current situation.
…
In the Pasteur Building, dazzling red light flashed, huge energy gathered in the building, even Times Square was affected, and the screen began to flicker intermittently.
After the intense experiment, the machine's hatch opened, and Ben, who had returned to his human appearance, staggered out.
"Success?!"
Looking down at the arm that had transformed from the orange stone, and touching his no longer hard cheek, Ben couldn't help but laugh excitedly.
Among the four Fantastic Four, he can be said to be the member who is most looking forward to regaining his human body. After all, unlike the other three, the radiation from the cosmic storm directly turned him into a monster that is not even human. Because of this appearance , he even lost his lover.
After getting excited, Ben pulled up his loose pants, stepped out of the machine, and shouted: "Victor, where are you? The experiment has been successful. I have recovered, and you will be able to do it too." Restored.”
"You're right, Ben, the machine was a complete success."
Walking out of the shadows, Victor's appearance changed even more than when he met Ben before. After absorbing the energy of the cosmic storm reversed by Ben, his body has been completely metalized, and he can even hear when walking. to the sound of metal colliding.
"You regained your human form, and I gained your share of power."
"You arranged all this."
Seeing Victor in front of him who had become more terrifying than before, Ben suddenly woke up.
"You hate your own power, but I don't."
If before, Victor might have been wary of Ben, a stone man with powerful defense capabilities and immense strength, but now, he would have been wary of Ben, who was just an ordinary person. Victor didn't even bother to cover up. After all, as an ordinary person, Ben no longer posed any threat to him.
Victor: "Now I have infinite power beyond ordinary people, but you are just an ordinary person through and through."
Ben: "You cheated on me, Victor!"
Victor: "No, I didn't deceive you. In fact, I secretly fulfilled your dream of changing back according to your wishes, and now, since the dream has been realized..."
As he spoke, Victor raised his silver arm that had been completely metalized, looked at Ben in front of him, and said coldly: "You can die without any regrets."
For Victor, the Fantastic Four are a stumbling block that hinders him. Reed ruined his career. Now that he has more powerful power, he naturally wants to take revenge, and Ben is the first target of his revenge. .
If Victor's blow was a real blow, he would be just an ordinary person now, and there would be no possibility of parrying, and he might even be killed directly by Victor.
Just as his arm was about to fall, a hand stretched out from mid-air grabbed Victor's arm and quickly wrapped it around his arm.
"Reed."
Looking down at the arms that wrapped around his entire body, a cold expression appeared on Victor's face under the mask.
"Victor?"
Stretching out his arms to wrap around the strange figure that appeared in the laboratory, Reed heard the voice coming from under the mask, and a look of doubt appeared on his face.
Because of the sequelae of his previous personal experiment, he rested on the second floor of the laboratory.
"What the hell does this happen?"
Looking at the figure in the laboratory that looked like Victor and Ben who had changed into a human form, the confusion on Reed's face deepened.
"You're just in time, Reed."
Turning his arms, feeling the winding power coming from him, Victor turned his head to look at Reed, the expression on his face under the mask was cold.
"Reed, be careful, Victor has absorbed more power from the cosmic storm radiation and wants to..."
Seeing Reed appearing, Ben quickly shouted anxiously.
Bang——
However, before he could expose Victor's ambition.
Victor, who was entangled by Reed's rubber arm, raised his other arm and hit Ben. With a dull sound, the tall Ben was sent flying directly, and he was gone when he hit the shelf. Reaction, life or death unknown.
"Book!"
Seeing this scene, the expression on Reid's face suddenly changed, and he looked at Victor with red eyes: "Why are you doing this, Victor."
"Why should I do this?"
"Reed, you are always so self-righteous. Because of your self-righteousness, we encountered an accident on the space station, and my career suffered a devastating blow. However, fortunately, all this has passed, and now I have gained In order to gain more power than before, I will control everything, whether it is power or your research, and you, Reed, your existence is now an eyesore stumbling block to me, and for stumbling blocks, I used to treat them as Kick it away, and now, I can crush the stone directly.”
"Also, from now on, call me by my new name, Reed, I am called - Doctor Doom!"
