Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Pulling a Train with Bare Hands
[The two men clashed furiously on the side of the speeding train, their movements a blur of precision and power. Inside the train, passengers crowded near the windows, their faces pale with fear and astonishment as they watched the heated battle. During the exchange, Parker's timing faltered. A mechanical arm, cold and unyielding, shot forward with devastating speed, catching him mid-dodge. The arm slammed him mercilessly against the metal door, the impact echoing across the train.]
[Parker crashed through the carriage wall, landing in the midst of terrified passengers. Screams erupted as debris scattered. He quickly grabbed a nearby handrail, steadying himself. Otto's tentacles lashed out again, attempting to drag Parker back out of the train. This time, however, they only managed to rip his tattered uniform, leaving Parker momentarily safe inside.]
[Determined to fight back, Parker used the handrail to propel himself forward, swinging in a calculated arc. He burst through the shattered glass, landing right in front of Otto. Without hesitation, he shot a strand of webbing at his adversary, but Otto's mechanical arms intercepted it effortlessly. The deflected web nearly caused Parker to lose his footing, forcing him to cling to the edge of the train for balance.]
[Meanwhile, Otto's attention shifted to the horizon. His eyes narrowed as he spotted another train barreling toward them from the opposite direction. Recognizing the opportunity, he ceased his assault and scaled the roof of the train with practiced agility. Parker's spider-sense flared violently, warning him of the impending danger. He turned just in time to see the oncoming train. Instinct took over, and he flattened his body against the side of the carriage as the other train roared past, missing him by inches.]
[As the danger passed, Peter climbed onto the roof, scanning for any sign of Otto. His senses remained on high alert as he carefully surveyed his surroundings. Just as he thought Otto had vanished, he caught a glimpse of a mechanical tentacle slipping under the train. Parker didn't hesitate. He descended along the train's side, crawling along the glass windows to follow.]
[Suddenly, Otto reappeared from the opposite window, his tentacles crashing through two layers of reinforced glass with a deafening roar. The sheer force of the attack sent Peter flying off the train. He tumbled through the air before landing heavily on the rocky ground below.]
[Despite the brutal impact, Parker sprang to his feet, his resolve unshaken. With a quick flick of his wrists, he shot a web toward the back of the speeding train. Simultaneously, he anchored himself to a nearby building, using the tension to launch himself forward. The chase resumed as Parker swung through the air, his determination unwavering.]
[At the rear of the train, Otto stood tall, his mechanical arms slicing through the air like deadly serpents. Without warning, he shattered the nearest window, grabbing a man and a woman from within. The hostages dangled helplessly in his grasp, their screams cutting through the chaos. With a wicked grin, Otto flung the woman toward Parker.]
[Parker reacted with lightning speed. He leaped forward, catching the woman in mid-air and cradling her securely. He quickly constructed a web net beneath her, ensuring her safety before turning his attention back to Otto. The villain, unrelenting, hurled the man next. Parker repeated the maneuver, saving the second hostage just in time.]
"Oh no!!! How could I do such a thing!" Otto covered his head in pain as he watched what was being broadcast on the sky dome. In recent days, the criticism from the outside media against him has become louder and louder. Even if Peter has spoken out to guarantee that what happened in the screem will not happen, he was unable to stop the rumors among the public.
"It's okay, dear! No matter what happens, I will be with you!" Rose was beside him, comforting him with tears in her eyes.
Although Otto was determined to prove himself at this time, he still couldn't resist the pressure from the outside world. Fortunately, Peter always supported him firmly, which prevented him from committing suicide.
[Back on the train, Otto's frustration boiled over. With a feral growl, he charged toward the front of the train, striking the conductor with a powerful blow that rendered him unconscious. Parker landed behind him, his sharp gaze locked on his opponent.]
[Otto turned with a smug grin, his mechanical arms extending menacingly. He cranked the train's speed to its maximum, the wheels screeching as the vehicle accelerated dangerously. With a dramatic flourish, Otto ripped the control handle free and tossed it toward Parker. "You've got a train to catch!" he sneered before leaping onto a nearby rooftop.]
[Parker barely had time to react before cries of distress erupted from inside the train. A secondary conductor frantically attempted to stop the train, only to discover that the brakes had been sabotaged. His desperate pleas for help reached Parker, who immediately sprang into action.]
[With the previous explosion, Parker's mask was also affected. He had no choice but to take it off. Then he used his spider sense to see that the track far away had not been repaired yet. . . ]
"Jarvis... What should I do if I encounter this situation? Can the power of the new Mark armor withstand the speed of the train?" Tony looked at this scene, frowned, and asked immediately.
"Sir, the power of the new Mark Armor is not enough to match that of a train full of passengers running at full speed. It is difficult to stop it in a short distance by offsetting the power."
Tony's face turned ugly after listening to Jarvis' report. "Add increased power to the next model of Armor. I don't want to just watch this train run off the track!"
"Okay sir, this option has been included in the plan!" Jarvis replied quietly.
Tony looked at Peter Parker's face and muttered, "What would you do, Peter Parker!"
"Sir, under the current circumstances, it might be a good idea for Peter Parker to use spider web to rescue the passengers on the train!"
"What about the train? There's a road under the track! There are countless people underneath. If the train rushes down, the casualties will be unimaginable!" Tony's face looked very ugly. He could probably imagine the tragic scene that would be caused by the train flying off the track!
"Sir, judging from your current armor, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do!" Jarvis gave the reply, but Tony was not satisfied with the answer.
"Shut up, damn it!" Tony couldn't help but curse, walked to the bar, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all.
[Peter landed in front of the train. The passengers in the train were surprised to see Peter without a mask and said, "It's Spider-Man!", "Oh! My God! This is him!"]
[Peter turned to address the passengers, his voice firm despite the chaos. "Everyone, hold on tight!" His command spread like wildfire, passengers relaying the message throughout the train.]
[[With the situation growing more dire by the second, Peter leaped to the front of the train. He planted himself firmly and attempted to slow its momentum by digging his feet into the tracks. Sparks flew as the railroad ties splintered beneath him, but the train's speed barely wavered. Exhausted, Parker jumped back onto the train, clutching his aching legs and drawing deep, steadying breaths.]
[One passenger, desperation evident in his voice, shouted, "Do you have any other ideas?!" Peter turned to the man, his resolve unwavering. "I'll figure it out," he replied, offering a glimmer of hope.]
[His eyes darted to the buildings flanking the track. Acting swiftly, he shot webbing at the walls, anchoring the train in an attempt to slow it. The immense tension pressed Peter flat against the train's front, his muscles straining against the overwhelming force. The walls, however, began to give way, crumbling under the strain and leaving Peter no choice but to release the webbing.]
[The sudden recoil sent Parker tumbling, but he managed to regain his footing just in time. The passengers, watching anxiously, breathed a collective sigh of relief as he stood tall once more.]
[With the end of the line fast approaching, Peter knew he had one last chance. He fired a flurry of webs, anchoring them to dozens of buildings. The pressure mounted, the train groaning under the strain as its front flattened, glass shattering in every direction.]
["Ahhh!!!" Peter screamed, his body wracked with unimaginable pain. His suit tore apart under the strain, but he refused to let go. Every ounce of his strength poured into the effort.]
[Finally, the train began to slow. The spider webs snapped one by one under the immense pressure, but Peter held on. The train screeched to a halt just as it crashed into the stone barrier at the end of the track. The front of the train dangled precariously over the edge, suspended in the air. Peter, utterly drained, collapsed unconscious on the wreckage.]
