The moment Ryan stepped out of the spatial portal, every Spider-Man from the Spider-Alliance present—except for the two Gwens—felt a heavy, almost tangible pressure radiating from him!
It wasn't just physical pressure, but a pressure originating from the soul; even their Spider-Sense instinctively emitted a feeling of 'dread' toward the newcomer!
Stepping out of the portal, Ryan first nodded to the 'real' Gwen, then turned his gaze toward the disheveled members of the Spider-Alliance.
At this moment, he didn't even need to read their minds to know these idiots must have committed some self-righteous, foolish act that caused them heavy losses, so he spoke to them coldly:
"What a bunch of trash!"
Facing Ryan's bluntness, although it was indeed the truth, the Spider-Men of the Spider-Alliance inevitably found it a bit hard to accept.
For instance, the hot-tempered Scarlet Spider, Ben Reilly!
He was a clone of Peter Parker, and among all of Spider-Man's clones, he was the most perfect and stable one in every aspect.
Of course, that was only in comparison to the imperfection of other clones.
As a clone, Ben Reilly's personality was quite different from the refined and easygoing Peter Parker; for example, his explosive temper!
Already irritated by being easily defeated by Inheritor Family, and now being mocked by a Spider-Man from another Universe, the Scarlet Spider's fury was instantly ignited!
I couldn't beat Inheritor Family, but I can't beat you?
I'll go up there and give you a...
Ben Reilly strode aggressively toward Ryan like an angry lion, and then...
Thud————————
The next second, the Spider-Alliance watched in even greater shock as Ben Reilly was sent flying backward, embedded so deeply into the water tank Gwen had hidden behind earlier that he couldn't be pried out.
While the Scarlet Spider, Ben Reilly, wasn't the strongest Spider-Man among them, he certainly wasn't the weakest; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to escape Inheritor Family with them!
But this guy who suddenly appeared struck second but arrived first, defeating Ben Reilly with a casual punch—is this f*cking logical?
This guy is definitely not simple!
Spider-Man 2099, Miguel, looked at Ryan in his silver-gray spider suit and immediately had the idea of recruiting him into his Spider-Alliance.
Having lost over a hundred Spider-Men, the Spider-Alliance was now in desperate need of such a powerful Spider-Man!
However, his own man had just been thrashed by the other party. As the leader, he certainly couldn't show goodwill directly at this moment; he had to give this newcomer a show of strength first!
He had to let this newcomer know that the Spider-Alliance wasn't a place where he could run wild, and to keep him in line after joining!
Thinking of this, Miguel stepped forward, flicked his wrists, and two crimson arm blades deployed from his forearms!
Miguel pointed his arm blades at Ryan and said equally coldly, "You should apologize to Ben right now!"
"?"
Hearing Miguel's nearly commanding tone, a question mark slowly appeared over Ryan's head.
Wait, buddy?
Is there something seriously wrong with your head?
Have you still not figured out who's in charge or the gap in our strength?
So arrogant?!
"Heh, you want me to apologize, right?"
Ryan cracked his neck and walked step by step until he was in front of Miguel.
With Ben Reilly as a cautionary tale, Miguel did not underestimate Ryan. Seeing Ryan walking toward him, he immediately became vigilant.
"What are you trying to do now?"
Ryan, who was slightly taller than Miguel, looked down at him and raised his palm high: "What am I doing? I'm doing you, of course!"
As the words fell, Ryan's palm whipped out with a whistling wind, slapping toward Miguel!
Miguel, who was prepared, naturally wouldn't sit and wait for death; instead, he blocked with his crimson arm blades in front of him.
In his view, as long as the opponent wasn't stupid, he should retract this slap instead of pitting his flesh and blood against sharp arm blades!
But Miguel was clearly mistaken this time. Ryan's falling slap didn't retract because of the arm blades; instead, he used a flesh-and-blood hand-knife to forcibly snap the arm blades!
In Miguel's wide-eyed gaze, an irresistible force transferred from his forearms held in front of him...
Crack——————
With a crisp sound, it wasn't just Miguel's arm blades that broke, but also his forearms!
And it wasn't over. The massive force of Ryan's slap sent Miguel sprawling face-down on the ground, unable to get back up!
Ryan looked down at Miguel at his feet and mocked ruthlessly: "Trash is trash. You can't even recognize the gap in strength; no wonder you've made such a mess of yourselves!"
With consecutive insults and their companions being struck down one after another, the rest of the Spider-Alliance couldn't sit still anymore and all surrounded Ryan.
Seeing this, Gwen, who had come with Ryan, instinctively wanted to step forward to help, but before she could, a figure also wearing a Ghost-Spider suit blocked her path.
The 'real' Gwen stared at Gwen and said gloomily, "You don't need to worry about Ryan's side. Now, you need to tell me first... who exactly are you?"
Gwen:...
On the other side, the four Spider-Men surrounding Ryan had already begun their move. The experienced Spider-Man Noir and Spider-Punk were the first to act.
The two of them rushed at Ryan simultaneously from the left and right at extreme speed, attempting to subdue him with the numerical advantage of 'four hands being better than two.'
But clearly, the two of them were overthinking it just like Miguel had. Ryan wasn't just about high strength, speed, and defense...
After absorbing the rich combat experience of the cosmic tyrant Thanos during the last rain, Ryan didn't fear being outnumbered at all when his strength was overwhelming!
Thanos could take down the Big Three of the Avengers with just a broadsword without any superpowers.
Beating two Little Spider-Men—wasn't that just like beating little babies?
Still incarnating as Slap-Man, still one slap per person!
The movements of ordinary people are slow-motion in the eyes of a Spider-Man, and the movements of Spider-Man Noir and Spider-Punk were similarly slow-motion in Ryan's eyes.
Before the two could even touch Ryan, two slaps landed, leaving them face-down with their butts in the air at Ryan's feet, falling into an infant-like sleep...
As he defeated four Spider-Men in succession, Ryan clearly felt his bug-level ability to absorb the power of his own kind starting to work again; his physique and abilities were gradually strengthening in all aspects!
This simple and efficient way of becoming stronger was almost addictive to Ryan!
Therefore, once the thrill of becoming stronger subsided, he couldn't help but turn his gaze toward the remaining two Spider-Men of the Spider-Alliance—the 'pregnant' Spider-Man and the 'little girl' Spider-Man—and gave them a smile that made them both shudder...
