A satisfied smile spread across Jason's face. This was precisely the moment he'd been waiting for!
He immediately opened the achievement pack.
[Congratulations on receiving the rewards: Ability Upgrade Card, Bloodline Fusion Card]
Without hesitation, he activated the ability upgrade card.
Then, with a thought, he channeled his power and exploded into action!
He launched himself skyward like a predatory tiger, intercepting the Black Wolf Spider mid-air!
The two hurtled toward each other with breathtaking speed. Jason could clearly see the ferocity blazing in his opponent's eyes.
A contemptuous sneer played at the corner of the assassin's mouth, as if mocking Jason's audacity.
But Jason wore an identical expression of confidence.
The instant before collision, a dazzling white flash erupted directly in front of the Black Wolf Spider's face. In a heartbeat, his entire field of vision transformed into blinding whiteness!
Panic surged through him as his sight vanished. In the next moment, he felt the air compress around him before a devastating punch connected with his face!
All his own attacks struck nothing but empty air.
As excruciating pain radiated from his shattered cheekbone, the tremendous impact launched his body backward. He tumbled uncontrollably before crashing violently into the pavement!
Fortunately, his enhanced physiology allowed his vision to partially recover within seconds. Through the haze, he discerned several silver serpents streaking toward him through the darkness.
The next instant, extreme pain and paralyzing numbness engulfed his entire body!
His skin began to rupture, blood immediately pouring from countless fissures as his bones creaked ominously, threatening to shatter at any moment.
Only then did he realize what he had witnessed were not silver serpents but powerful lightning bolts!
Sensing another imminent attack, his overwhelming survival instinct triggered a desperate surge of strength. He slammed his palm against the ground, propelling himself skyward.
His thigh muscles compressed with unprecedented force, the explosive power creating a small crater in the concrete beneath him.
Moving with the velocity of a bullet, he instantly dove into the throng of red-clad ninjas.
A split-second later, Jason's lightning attack arrived as anticipated.
Dozens of electric bolts tracked the Black Wolf Spider relentlessly, crashing into the ninja crowd. In an instant, hundreds of shadow warriors disintegrated into swirling ash!
Every witness stood stunned by the display.
The entire confrontation had lasted mere seconds, yet left everyone breathless.
Nick Fury swallowed hard. The Black Wolf Spider's strength had already astonished him greatly, but Iron Man's abilities were even more shocking.
What the hell! If you possessed this power all along, why not display it earlier? Why would I have wasted resources trying to apprehend you? Too late for regrets now—this guy is definitely an omega-level asset!
Wade, Blade, and Black Widow had positioned themselves together, intending to intercept the Black Wolf Spider, but had failed.
Observing the silver-white lightning storm nearby, Wade's eyes widened in awe. "My God, he's literally the legendary Thunder God!"
Blade's eyes bulged in disbelief. Damn it! You had this capability all along? Why didn't you use it against Frost? Did you think I hadn't been beaten badly enough?
The other onlookers remained equally dumbfounded.
In an era when superheroes had not yet revealed themselves to the world en masse, Jason had provided them a startling glimpse of supernatural power.
Meanwhile, Jason observed the hundreds of ninjas reduced to ash with clinical detachment rather than excitement.
He'd clearly seen that the Black Wolf Spider had survived.
His opponent had demonstrated keen tactical intelligence. By diving into the crowd, he'd ensured the lightning's power dispersed among many targets. After annihilating hundreds of ninjas, the residual energy inflicted minimal damage to him personally.
Now, amid swirling ash, the Black Wolf Spider stood calmly before the building entrance.
He produced a small bottle containing black liquid from somewhere on his person and drained it in a single gulp.
Instantly, the wolf spider tattoo on his chest illuminated from within. The arachnid's legs twitched slightly, as though the ink had suddenly animated.
His injuries healed with remarkable speed as his aura intensified—becoming even more formidable than before the confrontation!
Jason's expression grew solemn.
He had unhesitatingly upgraded [Electrokinesis].
This significantly enhanced his ability to store and discharge lightning energy. His [Electrokinesis] had allowed hundreds of minor lightning discharges.
However, the devastating lightning blast he'd just unleashed—powerful enough to annihilate hundreds of Bronze-tier target simultaneously—could only be generated three or four times at maximum output.
Noticing the Black Wolf Spider's eager expression, Jason unleashed another attack without hesitation. Dozens of lightning bolts streaked across the night sky, converging upon his enemy with devastating force!
This time, the Black Wolf Spider didn't even attempt evasion!
Under the thunderous bombardment, he roared skyward in pain, yet somehow endured the onslaught!
The black wolf spider tattoo on his chest swelled grotesquely, turning dark crimson as his eyes blazed with inhuman ferocity.
"Iron Man, you're seeking death!"
Jason remained unfazed. After studying his opponent briefly, he smiled coldly, extended his arm, and beckoned with his index finger: "If you've got the courage, come and get me!"
The Black Wolf Spider's lips curled back, revealing unnaturally sharp teeth. "Hehe, here I come!"
The instant these words left his mouth, he launched himself skyward—ascending six or seven stories high like a raptor—arms spread wide as he dove toward Jason.
This spectacular display left every observer speechless.
Wade clutched his head in disbelief: "This isn't fair! He's totally juicing!"
Fury clenched his fists in frustration. To hell with New York air defense protocols! I'm calling in the fighter jets to obliterate this monster!
Jason, however, ignored the airborne threat entirely, focusing instead on the ground beneath him.
He crouched down and delivered a powerful punch to the pavement, shattering it. Reaching into the resulting crevice, he grasped a thick cable and yanked it upward.
He pulled a high-voltage line as thick as his arm from beneath the street.
With a single bite, he tore through the tough insulating rubber, exposing the yellow copper conductor within.
Only then did he finally look upward at the Black Wolf Spider descending from above.
His [Electrokinesis] could only generate three or four maximum-power strikes independently.
However, the upgrade had also enhanced his lightning immunity, allowing him to directly absorb electrical energy to replenish his reserves!
The moment his palm contacted the high-voltage wire, every street light in the surrounding blocks flickered violently.
Massive electrical current surged into his body!
His entire form began radiating silvery-white luminescence, his clothing instantly incinerating to ash. Countless miniature electric arcs danced across his skin.
Despite the searing pain from the power overload, he grinned maniacally. "Let me share a secret. I'll be passing the name 'Iron Man' to someone else! From now on, call me THOR!"
The instant these words left his lips, deafening thunder erupted as blinding argent light assaulted everyone's eyes.
Lights throughout half the city extinguished simultaneously, leaving only the brilliant radiance emanating from Jason, illuminating half the sky!
The chemically-enhanced Black Wolf Spider possessed extraordinary resilience. The wolf spider tattoo on his chest now appeared fully animated, baring phantom fangs as it seemed to roar defiantly at Jason.
Even with these enhancements, he withstood the thunderous onslaught for only a few seconds before smoke began rising from his body and his skin charred grotesquely.
Jason, still possessing surplus energy, directed his attention toward the building's lobby.
A silver dragon composed of hundreds of intertwined lightning bolts roared forth. Every red-clad ninja in its path instantly disintegrated to ash!
The electrical leviathan pursued the fleeing ninjas relentlessly—surging through the entrance, cascading down stairwells, thundering into the basement, and finally crashing into the resurrection altar!
The mystical platform, already strained beyond capacity, collapsed instantly. With a blinding flash, it shattered completely.
In the square, violent thunder continued unleashing its tremendous power without restraint.
Finally, with an earth-shaking explosion, the sky full of lightning transformed into a dazzling white light that bloomed violently above the square...
The brilliance temporarily blinded every witness.
When they finally regained their vision and surveyed the devastated square, they found it eerily empty.
The red ninjas had vanished.
The Black Wolf Spider was nowhere to be seen.
And most disconcertingly...
Iron Man had disappeared as well!
