122: Chapter 122 Fate Altered, Puppet Spider

"No... you can't kill me! I am the greatest genius in this Universe! I proved that I am better than Peter Parker!"

The mask was torn off, and Dr. Octopus's soul, controlling Peter's face, let out a hysterical scream.

Gwen's combat boot stepped firmly on his chest as she looked down at him coldly: "You're just a thief who stole someone else's life."

"Let me go! I can work for you!" Seeing that physical resistance was futile, Dr. Octopus immediately began to showcase his greatest value. "My spider-bot network, my cross-gene mapping! I can help you..."

"Noisy."

Lynn walked slowly toward him, hands tucked into his trench coat pockets.

Dr. Octopus's voice came to an abrupt halt.

“Gwen, step aside,” Lynn said indifferently.

“Yes, Master.” Gwen immediately withdrew her foot and respectfully stepped to the side.

Lynn did not transform.

Dealing with a bug of this level didn't even warrant the Bloodtrix popping up its virtual dial.

He simply reached out his right hand slowly.

In his palm, the orange laws representing the [Soul Stone] and the crimson devouring light of the Bloodtrix instantly intertwined!

“I already have your technology.” Lynn spread his fingers, aiming them through the air at Peter Parker's head. “As for your genius brain... I'm only interested in the 'underlying logic' of how you possessed this body.”

“Squelch!”

Lynn's five fingers suddenly made a grasping motion in the air!

“AAAAAAAH—!”

A scream of extreme agony echoed through the sky. It was a tearing sensation acting directly on the depths of the soul!

Under the awe-struck gazes of Gwen and Carol,

A grayish-green soul phantom with countless disgusting tentacles was forcibly ripped out of Peter Parker's skull by Lynn!

Losing the support of Dr. Octopus's soul, Peter Parker's physical body instantly went limp on the ground, like a lifeless ragdoll.

“Let me go! Give me back the body!”

In mid-air, Dr. Octopus's ugly tentacled soul struggled desperately, trying to crawl back into Peter's body, and even attempted to crawl up Lynn's arm to perform a reverse possession.

“Possessing me?”

A hint of mockery flashed in Lynn's eyes, and the crimson Bloodtrix on his left wrist flared with red light!

[Conceptual Law detected: Fate Tampering / Soul Parasitism]

[Gluttony Module activated!]

“Crack!”

Lynn's right hand suddenly clenched into a fist!

“Bang!” Dr. Octopus's soul didn't even manage to let out a final scream before it burst like a squeezed water balloon.

The crimson data stream on the Bloodtrix acted like a giant net, sweeping all the shattered soul fragments into the dial.

[Devouring complete.]

[Plug-in analyzed: Fate Deprivation (Host can ignore universal causality to forcibly replace/tamper with a target lifeform's fate line)]

[Plug-in analyzed: Soul Parasitism]

Lynn shook his wrist with satisfaction.

At this moment, only the sound of the wind blowing remained on the spire.

Gwen looked at Peter Parker's motionless body on the ground with a complex expression. Although she had been assimilated, seeing her former friend become an empty shell still inevitably caused a slight stir in her heart.

“Think it's a pity?” Lynn glanced at Gwen.

Gwen immediately knelt on one knee and lowered her head: “I wouldn't dare! Master's will is everything!”

“The physical quality of this body is actually quite good; leaving it here to rot would indeed be a waste.”

Lynn looked at the shell on the ground, a faint crimson data flow flickering in his eyes.

“Since you all love spider webs so much, then all of you shall connect to my network.”

Lynn raised his hand, and the [Crimson Hive Mind] activated at full power!

Dark red nano-scale mechanical neural synapses shot out from Lynn's fingertips, instantly piercing into Peter Parker's brow.

He was using the Bloodtrix network to forcibly reshape Peter Parker's fragmented soul that had been crushed by Dr. Octopus!

“Ugh...”

Ten seconds later.

The body on the ground that was supposed to be dead suddenly let out a mechanical low growl.

Peter Parker slowly stood up.

The red and black suit he wore was also transformed by the Bloodtrix's nanomachines into a pure dark red, with the emblem of the [Crimson Court] imprinted on the chest.

“Scarlet Spider reporting to Master.”

No emotion, no self. Only absolute obedience.

“Very good.”

Lynn nodded. A Spider-Man who had all his weaknesses erased and knew only slaughter was worthy of being the watchdog for his Crimson Court.

“Take over this Universe. Integrate all the technological production lines left by Dr. Octopus into the Court's logistics database.” Lynn issued the command.

“As you command, Master.” Scarlet Spider (Peter) and Gwen accepted the order simultaneously.

Just as Lynn was preparing to cut off the cross-dimensional channel and lead his people back to the Court's headquarters,

“Beep—! Beep—! Beep—!”

On his left wrist, the recently upgraded [Heavens Hunter Radar] suddenly emitted an unprecedentedly ear-piercing alarm!

The holographic star map flickered wildly, and a crimson coordinate so massive it was suffocating flared up at the edge of the coordinate system!

[Warning! Ultra-high-risk energy source detected!]

[Energy Level: Omega-level (Multiverse-level)]

[Law Characteristics: Pure Destruction, Mind Control, Immortality!]

[Plane Lock: Earth-10005 (X-Men Mutant Universe)]

Lynn stared at the flickering, terrifying red dot.

“Omega-level? Immortality?”
