Chapter 46: One Night! The Growth of Two Girls!
"Ye Li!!"
Ye Li rapidly fell.
Gwen, without a second thought, jumped down after him.
Isn't this playing too risky... Ye Li thought maybe he should have taken a more cautious approach?
Just as he was about to crash to the ground.
Gwen finally calculated the distance and shot out her webs, attaching them to him.
But due to the elasticity of the webs, Ye Li continued to fall—
——
This scene reminded him of the moment in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 where Spider-Man Peter tried to save Gwen.
Due to the excessive elasticity of the web, Spider-Man failed to save her.
The regular version of Gwen, when caught by the webs, still crashed to the ground—dead.
But Ye Li would never die, even if he fell to the ground, it wouldn't be a problem.
And just a few seconds before hitting the ground.
He felt lighter and landed in a warm embrace.
Jessica caught Ye Li, her boots glowing with a silvery light, floating her in midair.
She could fly now.
"Huh? I can fly now?"
It was then that Jessica realized, in her panic, she had flown down.
Ye Li listened to her innocent tone, as if nothing had changed... except for the green bloodstains on her metal mask.
"Thanks to you, Jessica!"
Gwen also landed and, feeling a bit shaken, said, "Otherwise, I might not have been able to save Ye Li!"
Ye Li felt that his sudden decision to perform a dramatic act might have been a bit hasty.
He instinctively said, "Sorry..."
"Sorry for what?"
Both girls asked in confusion.
Ye Li was caught off guard.
After thinking for a moment.
He went along with it and said, "What I told you before, 'With great power comes great responsibility,' I actually didn't finish it, there's a second part."
Jessica asked curiously, "There's a second part?"
"Ahem..."
Ye Li cleared his throat and said seriously.
"With great power comes great responsibility, and greater authority!
I think, Gwen, Jessica, you have the right to judge your enemies!"
"Judge, huh…"
Gwen and Jessica thought about what had just happened and understood.
This night.
The two girls grew once more.
....
Back on the rooftop.
On the way, Jessica caught Harry, who was trying to escape.
After a quick mixed double-team with Gwen, they dragged him back.
"What should we do with this guy?"
Jessica threw Harry, beaten into a mess, onto the ground, "I didn't expect Harry to follow in his father's footsteps. So disappointing."
Harry's mask was knocked off.
She handed the lightsaber back to Gwen, "Gwen, do you want to judge him?"
"Huh?"
Gwen's hand trembled, but due to the events from the recent fall, she instinctively took it.
Eliminate evil thoroughly.
If we don't eliminate the enemy, what if they don't play by the rules and harm our friends and family?
But the target was once a classmate, and Gwen, who had never killed anyone, couldn't bring herself to do it...
At that moment, a hand grasped her wrist.
Ye Li turned off the lightsaber and took it back, comforting Gwen, "Don't force yourself. Do what feels right, follow your heart."
"Ye Li~..." Gwen was deeply moved, Ye Li was always the gentlest.
Jessica pouted, "It's not fair. I accidentally killed Dr. Connors."
Ye Li glanced at the green remains still scattered on the rooftop—are you sure it was an accident? It's in pieces now...
"Just think of it as...."
Ye Li comforted Jessica, "You killed a big lizard, right?"
"That's not the same."
Jessica rolled her eyes at him, "But I'm just glad you're okay, brother…"
"Then what about Harry... the Green Goblin?"
Gwen glanced at Harry, whose mouth was swollen and couldn't speak, only making muffled pleas for mercy.
"Let's inform Commissioner George~" Ye Li said casually.
The lesson has been taught, and keeping Harry around for some reward points is fine. No need to have Gwen deal with him.
"I said!"
In a corner of the rooftop, Peter, who had been beaten mercilessly by Venom, screamed desperately.
"Did you forget about me!
Help me——!!"
