Chapter 231 That guy Loren is omnipresent!
That guy Loren, he really is pervasive!
Long ago, S.H.I.E.L.D. had already restarted Project Pegasus.
However, because of the appearance of Maximus, the Mind Stone was stolen, which caused the project to fall into a state of stagnation again.
Now that they had all regained consciousness, the project naturally had to continue.
With this thought in mind, his gaze shifted to Natasha.
"Natasha, your relationship with Loren is the best in our entire S.H.I.E.L.D..
The fact that we were able to awaken from Maximus's mental control this time is most likely thanks to Loren.
So, please make a trip to Morgan Manor to thank him, and while you're at it, ask about the whereabouts of the Mind Stone.
We must get the Mind Stone back as soon as possible so that our Project Pegasus can continue.
He can set the terms; as long as it's within our power, I will definitely do my best to satisfy him."
Although he was ten thousand times unwilling, things had reached this point, and the only person who could help him now was Loren.
In order to strengthen S.H.I.E.L.D., he had no choice but to lower his head.
"You want me to go find Loren? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Hearing Nick Fury say that he wanted her to find Loren, Natasha was extremely happy inside.
After all, she hadn't seen that man for a while.
It just so happened that she was in her ovulation period these few days, and her body was feeling intense heat, so she really needed Loren's care.
Therefore, being able to go to Morgan Manor openly and honestly was naturally excellent.
However, she definitely couldn't let her colleagues know about her current mood.
Otherwise, the fact that she had fallen under Loren's big stick would be impossible to hide.
"What's wrong with that? I'm sending you to Morgan Manor; this is official business, no one will say anything about you."
Nick Fury's hopes were now all pinned on Loren, so he was terrified that Natasha wouldn't be willing to go, which would be troublesome.
Because apart from Natasha, they couldn't find a second person in the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. who could talk to Loren.
After all, Loren was notoriously lecherous and loved beautiful women; he was only polite to beautiful women.
Speaking of beautiful women, he suddenly shifted his gaze to Agent Hill, who was standing to the side.
Agent Hill had a tall figure, a graceful posture, curves in all the right places, and her facial features were very sharp and beautiful.
In terms of beauty, she was not inferior to Natasha, and even had the potential to slightly surpass her; the key was that she also had that mature woman style.
And as far as he knew, Loren liked mature women the most and had a special hobby for the mature woman type.
And Hill happened to perfectly match Loren's aesthetic!
With this thought, an excited expression couldn't help but appear on his face.
How had he not thought before that Hill's beauty was not inferior to Natasha's!
If he sent Hill along to Loren as well, given Loren's character, he would definitely not miss out on a beauty like Hill.
In that way, he would have one more person who could connect with Loren.
Having figured this out, he immediately said to Hill, "Maria, this time you will accompany Natasha to Morgan Manorand assist her in completing the mission."
"What! I have to go too?"
Hearing Nick Fury tell her to go on a mission with Natasha, a look of resistance couldn't help but appear on Maria Hill's face.
As the leader of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Intelligence Division, her understanding of Loren was no less than Nick Fury's, and was even deeper.
Because much of the intelligence about Loren was found by her subordinates, and the first-hand data often had to pass through her hands to be organized.
Most of the intelligence Nick Fury saw had been organized by her, so if it really came down to it, she understood the terror of Loren even better than Nick Fury.
Therefore, at this moment, hearing that she had to go to Morgan Manor with Natasha, she was naturally extremely resistant.
"Yes, I'm afraid Natasha won't be able to handle it alone. You are the leader of the Intelligence Division and have rich experience; perhaps you can bring back some more valuable information from Loren."
"Officer, don't flatter me. If Natasha can't handle it, then I'll be even less able to handle it."
"At least you two will have each other to look out for. Please go on this trip for me."
Hearing Nick Fury say that, no matter what she thought, she had no choice but to go.
After all, military orders are like mountains; since it was an order from a superior, even if she was ten thousand times unwilling, she had to bite the bullet and go.
"I understand. I'll go prepare immediately!" Hill nodded and walked towards her office.
However, before she had walked too far, Natasha quickly caught up with her and whispered, "You'd better take off all the makeup on your face and dress a bit uglier."
"Why?" Hearing Natasha's inexplicable words, Hill was dumbfounded, her head full of question marks.
"You're still asking why? You're the boss of the Intelligence Division. Loren's character—if others don't know it, don't you know it?"
"He is a man who creeps into every crack. A great beauty like you, with curves in the front and back, and that natural mature woman vibe—if you don't dress down, there's a high probability you won't be coming back today."
"It's... it's not that serious, right! I know Loren is lecherous.
But as far as I know, the beauties around him could already form a soccer team. Even so, isn't he satisfied yet?"
"Have you ever seen a man who was satisfied?
Let's not even talk about other things; just look at that guy Tony Stark. He's almost slept with all the women on the covers of Maxim magazine.
The women he's slept with, if not a hundred, are at least in the dozens.
Yet even so, every time Maxim magazine releases a new cover girl, he still takes her into his bed.
All men in the world are the same; there isn't one who isn't lecherous, and Loren is naturally the same.
If he sees you in your current outfit, he will definitely have bad intentions toward you. Suit yourself!"
Natasha said with a serious face, practically demonizing Loren as a sex addict, which made Hill tremble with fear!
"Fine! Then I'll go back and change into a more ordinary outfit, but about this makeup, maybe I should keep it?
After all, I'm going to meet an important person; if I'm too casual, I'm afraid that guy will make trouble because of it."
"Suit yourself, you decide."
"Wait, that's not right! You know Loren is so terrifying, so why aren't you going to change into uglier clothes and take off your makeup?"
"Me? Of course I don't need to change. I happen to be in my ovulation period these few days, and my body is feeling intense heat; I'm practically begging for that guy to lay his hands on me!" Natasha shrugged and said with a calm face.
"..." Hill
Chapter 232 Thor
Hill did not expect Natasha to say such a thing. Previously, there had always been rumors within S.H.I.E.L.D. that Natasha had already 'done that' with Loren.
However, it was never acknowledged by Natasha, and outsiders could not find any corresponding evidence, so she had always felt that it was just people gossiping.
But hearing Natasha say this now, she couldn't help but start to believe that rumor a little.
Moreover, in the vast S.H.I.E.L.D., why was it that only Natasha was able to connect with Loren?
This was truly too suspicious. If someone said that nothing had happened between them, she would absolutely not believe it.
"Um... Natasha, you wouldn't have actually 'done that' with that guy, would you?"
Although she had suspicions in her heart, she still wanted to get a confirmation from Natasha herself.
However, to her disappointment, after hearing her question, Natasha smiled indifferently and said, "What are you thinking? How is that possible? I was just saying it for fun."
"Just saying it for fun? Wait, is this 'fun' you're talking about the innocent kind?" Hill looked at Natasha with suspicion; she always felt that Natasha's words were ambiguous.
Upon hearing this, Natasha smiled mysteriously and did not answer directly, instead saying, "Guess." Afterward, she returned to her office to tidy up her things.
"Guess? How am I supposed to guess that!" Watching Natasha's retreating figure, Hill was speechless. She actually wanted her to guess such a thing; how could she possibly guess it?
However, based on her understanding of Natasha, this'saying it for fun' was most likely not innocent; otherwise, it really wouldn't fit Natasha's personality.
"Forget it, things have come to this, I can only bite the bullet. I hope that guy Loren can be a bit more of a gentleman and at least respect a woman's wishes!"
As she spoke, Hill walked to her office, filled with worry.
Then, she obediently changed into a slightly more ordinary black cotton tracksuit, covering up all the places on her body that could be covered.
Unfortunately, her figure was just too good. Although not an inch of skin was exposed, that curvaceous figure simply couldn't be hidden.
On the contrary, dressing like this only served to accentuate her graceful curves even more charmingly, and even the details that were usually not visible were clearly outlined by this outfit.
However, Hill was completely unaware of this at the moment, because in her own view, the clothes she was wearing now were the most ordinary among her many outfits.
If she could still attract Loren's attention while dressed like this, then she might as well just give in to him; it could only be said that it was fate!
Just as Natasha and Hill were preparing to head to Morgan Manor, another person had arrived in the vicinity of Morgan Manor a step ahead.
Inside the secret laboratory of Morgan Manor, Loren, having washed up, was quietly staying in the laboratory studying his Saiyan genetic serum.
Just at this moment, the voice of Artificial Intelligence - Alice suddenly sounded in the laboratory.
"Boss, a dense amount of spatial energy has been detected appearing near our manor. According to data comparison, this should be an energy fluctuation from the Bifrost Bridge."
"Energy fluctuation from the Bifrost Bridge? Someone from Asgard came again?" Hearing the reminder from Artificial Intelligence - Alice, Loren stopped what he was doing, a look of suspicion appearing on his face.
"Yes, Thor's figure has been detected, and he is currently at the manor entrance requesting an audience!"
"Thor wants to see me? What is this guy up to? Did something happen in Asgard again? Let him in! Have him rest in the guest hall first, and I will be there shortly."
"Understood!"
After handling the matters at hand, Loren raised his hand and waved it, and a spatial portal appeared before him.
And the place connected by the spatial portal was exactly his guest hall.
Seeing the guest hall at this moment, Thor was pacing back and forth in the hall with a look of anxiety on his face; by the looks of it, he had clearly encountered something troublesome.
As he appeared in the guest hall, Thor immediately walked towards him with a hint of excitement.
"Mr. Loren, it is great to see you. I have something I need your help with; my girlfriend, Jane Foster, has suddenly disappeared."
Thor was full of anxiety, and when he spoke of Jane disappearing, one could even see tears in the corners of his eyes.
"Disappeared?" Hearing Thor's words, Loren was stunned for a moment.
A moment later, as if he had thought of something, a look of excitement immediately appeared on his face.
Because as a transmigrator, he knew a little bit about the major events in the Marvel Universe.
And among the Marvel events he knew about, the only ones that could be related to Jane Foster's disappearance...
The only thing he could think of was the Reality Stone that appeared in the timeline of "Thor 2".
Yes, according to his speculation, Jane Foster's disappearance should be related to the Reality Stone.
In other words, the Reality Stone was about to appear.
As such, he was naturally very excited.
One must know that the Reality Stone is one of the most powerful among the six Infinity Stones; it possesses the heaven-defying ability to change the physical laws of the World and turn decay into magic.
The reason why collecting all six Infinity Stones can grant any wish is because of the Reality Stone.
The power of this stone is so heaven-defying that it can even summon characters from cartoons and anime into the World, and it can change any matter in the World at will according to the user's will.
Using the Reality Stone, you can turn a mountain into a pile of confetti; you can turn a living person into a lump of modeling clay.
Such inconceivable operations are nothing in front of the Reality Stone; therefore, as long as he can obtain the Reality Stone, he can achieve whatever he says.
At that time, letting 2B and the others have real flesh and blood bodies would be a piece of cake. If he wanted to, he could even let them have fertility from then on.
"Yes, she suddenly disappeared, and even Heimdall's black magic eye could not find her tracks."
"I am worried that something happened to her, so I came to you, hoping you could help me find her. I will definitely reward you heavily." Thor said very respectfully.
Since the last incident, he had an incomparable recognition of Loren's strength, so now he felt genuine fear and respect for Loren from the bottom of his heart.
"Reward? What kind of reward?" Hearing that there was a reward, Loren couldn't help but become interested and asked Thor with great curiosity.
"We in Asgard still have quite a few beauties. If you don't mind, I can send you a few top-quality maids to be your concubines. What do you think?"
"Deal, but I must choose them myself!" Seeing that Thorwas actually catering to his preferences by offering to send him beauties, Loren was immediately overjoyed.
At this moment, even hesitating for a second would be an insult to his own hobbies.
"That is only natural; this is your right." Thor nodded, likewise not hesitating.
"By the way, may I ask, I wonder if your mother is within the range of candidates?" Loren asked somewhat embarrassedly.
"You!!! She is not! None of my relatives are in the range of candidates. You cannot touch them, otherwise I will fight you to the death."
Thor had never expected that Loren would actually set his sights on his mother, which immediately made him bristle with anger.
He sincerely wanted to be friends with Loren, but he, on the other hand, actually wanted to be his stepfather!
This is intolerable! It's too much, it's really too much.
"Hahaha, look at you getting scared. Just a joke, I was just making a joke."
Loren chuckled, with a playful look on his face.
Chapter 233: The Reality Stone Has Appeared!
Loren was not lying when he said that, although Thor's mother was indeed still charming.
But he was not someone who would eat anything; he still had his bottom line.
Of course, if the other party offered themselves up, he naturally wouldn't refuse; after all, his main principle was the "Three Nos."
Not proactive, not refusing, and not taking responsibility—he just played it as he pleased.
Hearing Loren say this, Thor finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he looked at Loren with a face full of expectation, his meaning self-evident.
Loren, being very tactful, immediately spoke up: "Rest assured, since I have promised you, I will naturally help you bring your girlfriend back safely."
"What? Hearing you say that, do you already know where she is?" Thor's face showed excitement.
"That is only natural. On this Planet, there is no one I cannot find if I want to find them."
While speaking, Loren invoked the power of the Space Stone, because the Space Stone was also one of the Infinity Stones.
And the Infinity Stones could sense each other; of course, only those who knew how to use the Infinity Stones could do this.
Average people could not even control the power of the stones, so naturally, it was impossible for them to sense the location of other Infinity Stones.
However, Loren was not an average person. Because his body could devour any energy, his application of energy had reached the pinnacle.
Thus, things others could not do, he could do, and quite easily at that.
He slowly closed his eyes, and instantly, his powerful mental energy, combined with the power of the Space Stone, scanned the entire Planet in just a fleeting moment.
And in that fleeting moment, he discovered the figure of Jane Foster within the spatial fold between the two Worlds of Earth and Vanaheim.
"Found her!" Loren muttered to himself, then raised his hand and waved gently into the void, immediately causing a portal of space to appear.
Before Thor could even react, a graceful figure tumbled out from within this portal.
If this figure wasn't Jane Foster, who else could it be?
"Jane, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Jane lying on the ground, Thor quickly stepped forward to help her up, his face full of worry.
But at this moment, for some reason, Jane had already fallen into a deep sleep, and she had no reaction to his calls.
He quickly looked at Loren with a pleading gaze: "What is wrong with her? Why is she not reacting? Is she in a coma?"
"Hmm, she is in a coma, but it is not an ordinary coma; you will not be able to wake her up."
"What! What exactly happened to her? Why did she become like this?"
Hearing Loren say that Jane could not be woken up, the worry on Thor's face became even more intense; looking at him, it felt like he was about to cry.
"An extremely powerful force has occupied her body and trapped her consciousness.
Therefore, outsiders cannot wake her up unless that force inside her is extracted."
"What is this powerful force? Mr. Loren, you must be able to extract it, right?"
Thor looked at Loren with full expectation; he still had a lot of confidence in Loren's strength.
But to his disappointment, Loren shook his head this time.
"I am very sorry, but this force is so powerful that even I cannot extract it, because the thing occupying her body is the Reality Stone."
"What, the Reality Stone?
This... how is that possible? The Reality Stone should have been sealed by my grandfather in the ruins of Vanaheim a long time ago."
"It seems you know about the Reality Stone. Since that is the case, there is no need for me to explain further.
You are right; the Reality Stone was indeed sealed in the lair of the Dark Elf race—Vanaheim.
Under normal circumstances, the seal would not be broken for no reason.
It just so happened that this time coincided with the once-in-a-century astronomical phenomenon of the Nine Realms Alignment.
The so-called Nine Realms Alignment refers to the nine Worlds, including Earth, forming a straight line.
During this process, the effect of the powerful magnetic field will cause space to overlap, thereby causing parts of the space of the nine Worlds to fold together.
Therefore, the seal will loosen because of this. The reason you could not find your girlfriend before...
...is because she was not on Earth at all, but was teleported to Vanaheim.
And because her body is occupied by the power of the Reality Stone, ordinary Dark magic cannot detect her."
Loren explained it to Thor very seriously, leaving Thorconfused.
However, upon learning that even Loren had no way to extract the energy of the Reality Stone from Jane's body, Thor could not help but become very anxious.
He picked up Jane and planned to go to Asgard to find his father, Odin, to resolve this matter.
How could Loren not see through his thoughts?
"Your father's health is failing; he has one foot in the grave already. I advise you not to trouble your father.
For one, he is powerless; going to him will only add to his troubles.
Secondly, the Reality Stone on your girlfriend has now appeared, which will inevitably attract the covetous eyes of various factions.
If you take it back to Asgard, you will be inviting disaster, and one day you will regret it," Loren said with a very serious expression.
He had received so many benefits from Odin back then, so now that Thor had approached him, he naturally could not just brush him off.
He had to make the pros and cons clear; he still had that much professional integrity.
"Then what should I do? You have no way, and my father has no way. Are we just to watch her remain in a deep sleep forever?"
"Of course not. Although your father and I cannot extract all the energy of the Reality Stone, there is someone who can!"
"Someone who can? Who?"
"The leader of the Dark Elves—Malekith!
I think you should know that the Reality Stone has another name, called the Aether Particle.
The Aether Particle was once controlled by the Dark Elvesfor a period of time. At that time, the Dark Elf race relied on the power of the Aether Particle to plunge the Nine Realms into eternal night.
The Dark Elf race became a major hegemon of the Nine Realms, but later your grandfather led an army to defeat them.
And he sealed the Aether Particle along with Malekith in the ruins, which led to the peace that followed in the Nine Realms.
Now that the Aether Particle has reappeared, the Dark Elves have likely awakened as well.
And Malekith knows how to control the Aether Particle, so we can use his power to extract the Reality Stone from your girlfriend's body."
"That's right! How did I not think of that? The ambition of the Dark Elf race will never just stop there.
Now that the Aether Particle has reappeared in the World, they will definitely smell it and come to seize it. We just need to wait for them to come."
Mr. Loren, thank you; I know what to do now."
After listening to Loren's analysis, Thor was extremely excited, as if he could already see Jane waking up.
"Hmm, for this period of time, just stay on Earth with your girlfriend!
When Malekith appears, I will have someone help you, but at that time, I will take the Reality Stone as spoils of war!"
Loren said with a calm expression; he did not take the so-called Dark Elves seriously at all.
With his current strength, even Dormammu could not do anything to him, so what did mere Dark Elves amount to!
In his view, it was just another small event that would send him system points and rewards!
Chapter 234: From Gwen
"I understand what you mean. In that case, I will take Jane away now and find a quiet place to stay."
With Loren's promise, Thor finally set his mind at ease. Instead of feeling nervous about the impending crisis, he was actually full of anticipation.
Not long after Thor left, Loren summoned Alice.
"Alice, focus on monitoring the situation with Thor during this period. If I'm not mistaken, the Dark Elves should make a move within a few days."
"Understood. I will arrange for micro-bionic robots to monitor them around the clock and from all angles."
"Hmm, let's do that!" Loren nodded and intended to return to the research and development of the Saiyan gene serum.
But just at this moment, a familiar number suddenly rang.
You must know that usually, the people who could call his private phone were either wrong numbers or friends he acknowledged.
Picking up the phone and looking at it, a smile appeared on his face, because the person calling was none other than Gwen, whom he hadn't been in touch with for a while.
Since the last Battle of New York, some of the Chitauri's high-tech weapons had begun to circulate in the black market.
These Chitauri weapons were extremely powerful, and the destruction they could cause was far beyond what conventional weapons could compare to.
Coupled with the many capable people in the black market, they modified these alien weapons to make them easier to carry.
Therefore, the crime rate across New York City had soared during this period, and all kinds of criminals were springing up like mushrooms.
And as the friendly neighbor Spider-Man of New York City, which was Gwen, she naturally took on the responsibility of guarding the peace, swinging through the city every day to pit her wits against those criminals.
This was also the main reason she hadn't come to find Loren during this time, to which Loren had already grown accustomed.
Although he and Gwen were always in an ambiguous relationship, he never interfered too much in Gwen's life.
He believed that the girl would one day fall into his arms; he had that confidence.
Answering the phone, the first thing that sounded was the whistling of the wind, followed by Gwen's voice.
Clearly, she shouldn't be at home right now, but was still swinging outside in the city.
Perhaps she was still fighting crime. Calling him at this moment, she probably encountered some trouble and needed his help.
And his guess was indeed correct; the moment Gwenspoke, she was really asking him for help.
"Loren, emergency situation. I am pursuing a criminal."
"But that guy has modified his body with high-tech weapons from the Chitauri and possesses the ability to fly at high speed. I can't catch up to him."
"See if you have any way to help me intercept him. This guy has robbed multiple banks and created a terrorist attack."
"Many innocent citizens have unfortunately lost their lives at his hands. He is truly heinous; I must catch him today."
Gwen's voice was full of determination; clearly, she was serious and not just being stubborn.
If someone else had suddenly called him to ask for help, he certainly wouldn't have meddled in the business.
But the person calling him at this moment was Gwen, so that was a different matter.
After all, the other party was the woman he wanted. If he couldn't even help with this, how would good things happen in the future?
"Hello, Loren, did you hear me? That guy is about to fly out of my sight."
Seeing that Loren didn't answer immediately, Gwencouldn't help but become even more anxious.
Upon hearing this, Loren looked calm and unhurried; instead, he began to tease her.
"I say, my little sweetheart, helping you is naturally no problem, but after this favor, how are you going to thank me?"
"Hey, what is our relationship? Asking you for help, and you actually want to collect a reward from me? You are too unloyal."
"Hehe, then you tell me, what is our relationship?" Lorensaid with a laugh while waving his hand.
Suddenly, a portal appeared in front of him, and the place the portal connected to was exactly where Gwen was located.
Through the portal, he clearly saw Gwen swinging rapidly between tall buildings, relying on her spider silk.
And right now, not far above her, a man carrying a pair of huge steel vortex flight devices was quickly fleeing towards the outside of the city area.
He seemed to know that he couldn't beat Gwen inside the city area, which was why he thought about leaving these tall buildings as soon as possible.
As long as there were no tall buildings for support, Gwenwouldn't be able to catch up to him.
Hearing Loren suddenly ask what her relationship with him was, a touch of shyness couldn't help but appear in Gwen's heart.
"What else could our relationship be? Of course, it's that kind of relationship."
"What kind of relationship is that kind of relationship?" Loren asked with a mischievous smile.
"Hey, it's already this time; can you stop teasing me?"
"If it gets any later, that guy is going to escape. By then, I won't talk to you anymore."
"If you help me, at worst, I'll treat you to something to eat!"
Gwen said unhappily, her eyes fixed on the guy in the sky who was dressed like a bird-man.
Seeing that Gwen had said so, Loren stopped teasing her.
He waved his hand casually, and a silver-white Spider-Woman suit made of Vibranium flew out from his magicring.
Then, through the portal, it instantly appeared in front of Gwen, and this Iron Man Suit still used nanotechnology.
So, the moment it appeared, it was like grains of sand, automatically covering Gwen's body, and in just an instant, it condensed into a brand-new Spider-Woman suit.
This suit was full of high technology, with an embedded infinite power furnace. Its power was even more powerful than the one previously given to Gwen, and usually, it only needed a little Water to be injected.
In addition to having the functions of the original nano Spider-Woman suit, the brand-new Vibranium Spider-Woman suit also came with anti-gravity flight capabilities, so it could fly.
Of course, it also possessed the function of nano-particles condensing into various cold weapons, so its overall combat power was several times stronger than the previous suit.
"I upgraded this nano suit based on the original one. It is made entirely of Vibranium, which will allow you to ignore artillery attacks."
"Then, an Artificial Intelligence - Alice is also embedded inside. However, this time the Artificial Intelligence - Aliceis more intelligent and efficient; you will know in a moment."
As Loren spoke, he lifted his foot and stepped out from the portal, actually walking through the air to accompany Gwen by her side.
Gwen didn't expect that Loren had secretly crafted another Spider-Woman suit for her, and her heart was instantly filled with immense emotion.
A bold thought couldn't help but appear in her mind, making her look at Loren's face with shyness.
Chapter 235: The Sinister Six
Loren, who was accompanying Gwen, cast his gaze toward the bird-man in the distance, a familiar feeling welling up within him.
Isn't this Vulture, another villain from the Marvel Universe!
He hadn't expected to run into a new villain at this time, but this guy was just a small fry to him, completely beneath notice.
As such, there was naturally no need for him to intervene.
Now that Gwen had the brand-new Spider-Woman he had gifted her, catching this guy would be as easy as drinking water.
Sure enough, the moment Gwen put on her brand-new Spider-Woman, she abandoned her web-shooters and activated the anti-gravity flight device directly.
Instantly, like an arrow released from a bowstring, she arrived in front of the Vulture with lightning speed.
At that moment, the Vulture had never expected that Spider-Man could fly; he was completely stunned.
However, upon realizing that Gwen suddenly possessed flight capabilities, he immediately sped off toward the higher skies.
Meanwhile, the Vulture pulled a strangely shaped weapon from his back and fired a burst at Gwen.
Instantly, a blue energy beam shot out, and before Gwencould even react, she was struck by it.
The powerful impact sent Gwen flying backward, and she tumbled several times in mid-air before coming to a stop.
If Gwen hadn't been wearing her latest Spider-Woman, that burst would likely have caused her significant injury.
However, because she was wearing her new Spider-Woman, and this new Spider-Woman was crafted from Vibranium.
Therefore, a mere energy beam couldn't possibly break through its defense, and Gwen naturally remained unharmed.
Because she had just put on the new Spider-Woman, she wasn't yet proficient enough in using it; otherwise, it would have been highly unlikely for the Vulture to hit her.
"I'm actually fine! This brand-new Spider-Woman really is amazing!"
Gwen subconsciously touched the spot where she had been hit, only to find that not even a trace remained, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"That's natural. It's crafted from Vibranium, so a mere little energy beam naturally couldn't break through its defense."
Loren stood to the side, arms crossed over his chest, floating in the air, speaking with a calm expression, having not intervened to deal with the Vulture.
Seeing this, Gwen rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.
"I'm telling you, you're just going to watch me get bullied by that guy! Help me out!"
"He's just a small fry; for me to intervene would be like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
Of course, if you want him dead immediately, I can take care of him!"
Loren wasn't acting arrogant at this moment; he was speaking the truth.
Given his current strength, if he were to take action against a character like the Vulture, the latter would definitely not survive.
Of course, the Vulture didn't even have the qualifications to make him intervene.
"Forget it, forget it. You don't know your own strength, so don't actually kill him.
I still need to trace where he got these weapons from!"
"According to government requirements, only Stark Industries has the right to collect the ships and weapons left behind by the Chitauri.
But this guy is clearly not from Stark Industries; there must be an unknown profit chain behind this.
I need to find out the truth so I can stop these alien weapons from continuing to flow into the black market and lower the crime rate in this city."
Gwen thought for a moment and said very seriously, not knowing if it was from her father's influence, but her sense of justice was as strong as his.
"Tsk tsk tsk, truly the friendly neighbor of New York City! Your sense of justice is truly admirable," Loren said with a smile.
"Stop teasing me. What I'm doing is nothing compared to you directly repelling the Chitauri invasion.
Alright, I can't chat with you anymore. The Vulture is about to run away, and I can't let him succeed."
As she spoke, Gwen raised her hand and waved it, and instantly a sharp blade formed from nano-Vibraniumappeared straight on the arm of her Spider-Woman.
Then, she went full throttle. Driven by the infinite power core, she transformed into a White afterimage and instantly flew over the Vulture's head.
In that fleeting instant, the blade in her hand flashed across the Vulture's pair of turbine flight wings.
With a clink, the pair of turbine wings were split in two, cut into two sections.
Without the turbine wings, the Vulture was greatly alarmed, his body immediately falling uncontrollably toward the ground.
Seeing this, Gwen sped toward the direction of the Vulture's fall with a hint of playfulness, then wove a large web underneath him a step ahead of time.
The moment the web was finished, the Vulture crashed heavily into it, and was then tied up like a dumpling by Gwen, completely losing all combat ability.
"Finally resolved. You guy, let's see where you can run now!"
Gwen gave the Vulture a slightly angry kick, then lifted him up with one hand.
"Speak, where did this equipment on you come from? Answer honestly, and I can let you suffer a little less; otherwise, you'll be in for a miserable time today."
Gwen looked at the Vulture in front of her with a cold expression, trying to persuade him to reveal the source of his equipment.
But as a member of the Sinister Six in the Marvel Universe, how could the Vulture obediently tell her the information she wanted?
Facing her interrogation, not only did he not answer honestly, he spat, full of disdain.
"Spider-Man, if you have the guts, just kill me directly. Otherwise, don't even think about getting the information you want from my mouth; I will absolutely not talk."
The Vulture knew that Gwen would never actually kill anyone; her most common method of dealing with criminals was to bring them to justice and send them to prison.
But for people like them, going to prison was just a daily routine, and he wasn't afraid at all.
During this time, he had accumulated quite a bit of wealth by robbing banks, and he could easily afford to hire a top-notch lawyer to defend himself.
Under these circumstances, it wouldn't be long before he could walk out of prison with his head held high, so he wasn't afraid in the slightest.
However, just as he thought he had Gwen figured out, Loren, who was standing beside her, gave a cold smile and then raised his foot to stomp on his arm.
Instantly, a powerful force pressed down, immediately causing the Vulture to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.
"If I were to kill you directly, it would be getting off too easy. You won't talk, right? Then I'll slowly torture you to death. For now, I'll start by crippling this hand of yours."
As Loren spoke, he immediately increased the pressure under his foot, instantly causing the Vulture to scream in pain.
But in the face of his screams, Loren acted as if he hadn't heard anything and continued to apply pressure.
With a crack, the Vulture's right arm was actually crushed by him.
After easily crushing one of the Vulture's arms, Lorenchanged positions, intending to crush his other arm.
Seeing this, the Vulture was completely stunned and roared repeatedly: "I'll talk, I'll talk! It was the Green Goblin, the Green Goblin gave it to me!"
