How could he call me that!
The Green Goblin was originally a bit angry because Peter called him Joker, wanting to give Peter an unforgettable lesson.
But when he saw Peter ignore the completely disproportionate size difference and knock down Dr. Lizard in one blow, his eyes under the helmet instantly cleared.
Umm... suddenly, being called Joker didn't seem like such a big deal... On the other side, Dr. Lizard, who was knocked to the ground, felt his mind go blank.
Did he just... get knocked down by a human?
Influenced by the lizard genes, Dr. Lizard's current logic was very peculiar.
He subconsciously believed that humans were inferior creatures, and only Lizardmen were noble beings!
And at this moment, a noble Lizardman had been knocked down by an inferior human!
Realizing this, the Lizardman was beyond furious.
He let out a threatening low growl, attempting to scramble up from the ground with his hands and feet, while his thick tail swept out like a steel whip, creating gusts of fierce wind that tore through the air!
This strike was enough to send a car weighing over a ton flying!
But facing this thunderous blow, there wasn't a ripple of emotion on Peter's face. He just slowly raised his right hand... Under the incredulous gazes of Dr. Lizard, the Green Goblin, and Gwen in the distance, he actually caught that heavy, powerful tail with his palm, just like that.
The violent kinetic energy, at the moment it contacted Peter's palm, was like a clay ox entering the sea, vanishing without a trace.
Peter's body didn't move an inch!
"What?!"
Dr. Lizard's vertical pupils were filled with disbelief.
How could this be!
How could his strength be so easily caught by such a tiny human?!
Before he could react from the shock, Peter's arm suddenly exerted force!
"Up you go~"
In the next second, Dr. Lizard only felt an irresistible, terrifying force coming from his tail. His massive body, weighing several tons, was actually swung up by Peter!
Whoosh!
Like a hammer throw, Dr. Lizard traced a perfect parabola in the air!
Boom!!!
The reinforced concrete wall was like paper, with a huge hole instantly smashed through it!
Dr. Lizard's massive body slammed heavily into the corridor. The concrete part of the corridor railing collapsed, and the metal railing above was completely bent by the violent force.
"This... how is it possible!"
Gwen stared blankly at this scene, her mind completely blank.
The Lizard Monster she had to struggle with all her might just to barely deal with was now actually being... spun like a top by that guy named "The Punisher"?
Is this guy... really human?
"Roar!"
Shaking his dizzy head, Dr. Lizard let out another angry roar.
As a being with strength equal to Peter's, he naturally wouldn't be defeated by two simple moves.
Rage completely drowned out the remaining bit of reason in his heart, so he lunged at Peter regardless of everything, launching a fierce attack based only on the most primitive survival instinct.
Sharp claws tore through the air, pouncing with the whistle of the Shinigami.
The thick tail whipped toward Peter again, trying to smash him into a folding screen on the spot.
But facing Dr. Lizard's reckless attack, Peter's face still showed no ripple of emotion.
He just stepped aside, effortlessly dodging the tail attack:
"Want to move your body? Then I'll play with you for a bit!"
As Peter spoke, his fists traced series of afterimages in the air!
Seeing this, Gwen, who was dodging the Green Goblin's Pumpkin Bombs while constantly maneuvering around him, almost had her heart in her throat.
Is he crazy?
To actually give up his powerful combat techniques and go head-to-head with the Lizard Monster without dodging?
Bang bang bang!
Just as such a thought surfaced in Gwen's mind, the muffled sounds of fists hitting flesh rang out one after another.
Gwen subconsciously turned her head and saw "The Punisher" was actually trading blows with the Lizard Monster!
Moreover, he performed with such leisurely steps, as if he couldn't feel the pressure at all.
No, it wasn't "as if" he couldn't feel the pressure; he really had no pressure!
This guy even... found time to reach out and yawn?!
This time, it wasn't very harmful, but it was extremely insulting.
Dr. Lizard's eyeballs completely turned from yellow-brown to crimson!
He almost frantically continued to attack Peter, and the battle between the two left the corridor in a mess.
The ground was full of craters from the impacts, and the walls and classrooms they passed were torn apart.
On the playground below, the high school students who were taking refuge were originally so scared their breathing almost stopped.
But seeing the two fighting more and more vigorously, they actually started cheering one by one.
What The Punisher and that Lizard Monster were currently dismantling was the place where they went to school!
This was just like the daydream every kid in a certain large Eastern country has had: "I'm off to blow up the school, with a pack of explosives on my back!"
Now, the dream had become reality!
As long as The Punisher or the Lizard Monster threw one more punch at the surrounding classrooms, they could have an extra day off!
Even many of the Seniors among them might be able to just lie at home until graduation!
Not having to attend a single day of class and being on vacation until graduation—what a beautiful thing!
"So cool! Punisher, help us out, give the classroom next to you another punch!"
"Nice! I love you to death, Punisher! I want to have your babies!"
Seeing that an entire floor of the teaching building had been almost destroyed by himself and Dr. Lizard, Dr. Lizard's movements also became slower and slower.
Peter then spoke mockingly:
"Hey, no way? I haven't even started trying yet, and you're already giving out?"
"Humble human! Stop talking big in front of me!" Dr. Lizard retorted angrily.
But this behavior precisely proved his weakness!
If the serum was still in full effect, he could never have spoken such a coherent sentence.
"Talking big?!"
Peter sneered, and in the next second, his entire being instantly turned into a black and red afterimage.
Followed by... Boom!
A straight punch hit Dr. Lizard's stomach like a heavy cannon!
Caught off guard, Dr. Lizard took this punch; the solid scales on his body were shattered, and his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.
"It's not over yet!"
Peter didn't give the mid-air Dr. Lizard any chance to adjust his state.
Stomping heavily on the ground, he rushed toward Dr. Lizard at high speed.
Followed by... "Ora ora ora ora..."
Like a storm of Consecutive Normal Punches, Dr. Lizard felt like a small boat in a violent storm.
His massive body became almost entirely a large punching bag, with no chance to fight back, only able to retreat steadily under the barrage of Peter's "Ora" sounds.
After taking who knows how many hundreds of punches, with his joints deformed and his body size completely shrunk back to a normal human, Dr. Lizard struggled to get up from the ruins, but failed several times in a row.
Finally, Dr. Lizard's vision went black, and he completely lost consciousness.
Dr. Lizard: Retired!
