A Figure in a Cape

"How was that possible? Was that guy even human?"

At that moment, not only were the people on the ground shocked by the scene unfolding in the sky.

The people aboard the other helicopters experienced the horror of it even more directly.

"That guy is a devil!"

Anyone who saw a human being tear through an armed helicopter with his bare body and rip the entire aircraft apart would probably struggle to stay calm.

And if you could stay calm, then he was coming for you now!

"No, he’s coming for us! Descend, now!"

The pilot of another helicopter that had been targeted watched the "devil" who had already destroyed one helicopter charge toward him at terrifying speed, his heart filled with fear.

He nearly went mad as he forced the helicopter downward, trying to evade the lunatic rushing at them.

"Whew, that was close!"

The intense fear seemed to awaken extraordinary flying skills in him. While descending, he maneuvered the helicopter in an extremely difficult posture and narrowly avoided Peter’s charge.

However…

Peter, who had flown over them, suddenly fired two strands of Webbing at the helicopter below.

With the help of the Webbing, Peter instantly overcame the inability to change direction while leaping.

The next moment, using the Webbing’s pull, Peter viciously kicked the helicopter.

Clang! Clang! Clang…

Helicopter rotors spun hundreds of times per minute. Against an ordinary human body, the impact generated by that speed would be enough to slice it apart instantly.

Yet when the helicopter blades struck Peter’s body, it was like shoving a metal rod into the blades of a plastic fan.

Countless rotor blades bent and even snapped. In that instant, Peter forcibly brought the helicopter’s rotors to a halt.

The entire aircraft lost control and plunged rapidly toward the ground.

Rat-a-tat-tat…

Just as Peter, standing atop the helicopter, was about to clench his fist and destroy it completely—

At some point, another helicopter had already moved behind him. Its quad-barreled 12.7mm machine gun erupted without hesitation, spewing blazing muzzle flashes.

Bullets capable of tearing through armored vehicles struck Peter’s body. Aside from bursts of dazzling sparks, they produced only sharp metallic clinks.

Peter neither dodged nor flinched before the machine gun fire.

His powerful Man of Steel gave him a body like that of a god.

The bullets hitting him felt no different than mosquito bites.

"Hmph."

With a cold laugh in his heart, Peter snapped off one of the still-intact rotor blades beneath his feet.

Then, grabbing one end of the blade, he hurled it out like a boomerang.

Whoosh…

His immense strength gave the blade astonishing speed and power.

"Captain, get out of the way!"

The helicopter carried none other than Captain George and one of his officers.

The pilot sensed something was wrong the moment Peter broke off the blade. He had turned the helicopter early, trying to avoid the spinning blade.

But they ultimately failed to evade it completely.

The rapidly spinning blade became a truly deadly cutting edge.

The flying rotor blade struck the tail section, cleanly severing the cockpit and cabin from the rear of the aircraft.

A complete helicopter, including its rotor, was cut apart in an instant.

Fortunately, the occupied cabin had not been hit, and everyone inside remained unharmed.

Unfortunately, without the rotor and tail, the aircraft had no power left. They could only watch helplessly as it slowly fell.

Congratulations, Host. The mission has been completed. Reward distribution in progress...

"Hm? This is… the mission was finally complete?"

Just as Peter was about to destroy the remaining helicopters, he suddenly heard the notification that the mission had been completed.

Almost the instant the mission was completed, he felt an incredibly unusual sensation arise within his body.

"This is the reward for randomly awakening an ability after completing the mission?"

Rather than worrying Peter, the strange feeling in his body made him incredibly excited.

Every one of Superman’s abilities was immensely powerful. No matter which one he awakened as his reward, it would be a huge gain for him.

"Still, since the mission is complete, it’s time to leave."

Peter had already achieved his objective, so he prepared to leave without hesitation and find somewhere safe to awaken his ability.

With that thought, Peter, standing atop the helicopter, did not hesitate. His legs exploded with force, and he shot into the distant darkness like a rocket blasting into the sky.

His speed was so great that he vanished almost in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the system’s voice rang out beside Peter’s ear once more.

Reward distribution complete. Congratulations, Host. You have received 100 points. The randomly awakened special ability is...

Yet even after Peter left, the situation at the scene was far from over.

In less than a dozen seconds, Peter’s actions before leaving had completely destroyed three armed helicopters.

At that moment, the wreckage of the three helicopters was still falling from high above.

Several survivors remained inside the wreckage, able only to wait in utter terror for death to arrive.

"Goodbye, Mom. I hope the compensation after I die will let you live comfortably for the rest of your life."

Falling from a height of over a hundred meters, they had almost no chance of survival. At that altitude, parachutes were nearly useless.

Just as they experienced their final seconds before death, countless thoughts of their loved ones flooding their minds—

"Yeah! Great, she did it!"

"Beautifully done, Spider-Woman!"

"Unbelievable! Truly unbelievable!"

Their thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the thunderous cheers erupting below.

Just seconds earlier, the wreckage of the first helicopter to be destroyed, carrying two survivors, had been about to hit the ground.

Just when everyone believed tragedy was unavoidable—

A silver-white strand of Webbing descended from the sky.

A graceful, beautiful figure emerged from the darkness like an angel descending from heaven.

She successfully rescued the survivors inside the wreckage.

Then, the survivors from the second falling helicopter were also safely rescued by her.

This time, every officer on the ground who witnessed it could not help cheering for her from the bottom of their hearts.

At that moment, in the hearts of every officer, the figure wearing the tattered Spider-Suit was no longer a criminal who had caused chaos.

She was a hero who saved people in times of danger!

"My dear Gwen and Helen, I’m sorry I couldn’t see you one last time and apologize to you…"

When the aircraft was only a few dozen meters from the ground, George Stacy could only apologize to his wife and daughter in his heart.

Bang!

Suddenly, a sound interrupted George’s thoughts.

He opened his eyes sharply, only to see a familiar figure.

It was Spider-Woman, the person he had racked his brains trying to bring to justice. For some reason, she had entered the cabin just as it was about to crash.

"Stop! Don’t move, or I’ll shoot!"

Almost without hesitation, Captain George drew his sidearm and aimed it at the figure before him.

However, the figure seemed not to have heard his warning at all.

She directly smashed the windows on both sides of the cabin, then fired several strands of Webbing toward the surrounding high-rises.

Then she flipped upside down, her long legs braced against the cabin ceiling.

In an instant, the powerful force stopped the rapidly falling cabin, slowing its descent.

When it was less than a dozen meters from the ground, it finally came to a complete stop.

Inside the cabin, the sudden halt after the fall left everyone unsteady on their feet.

Yet from beginning to end, Captain George never lowered his gun, and its barrel remained aimed at Spider-Woman, who was trying her hardest to save them.

"Get out of here, quickly. I can’t keep this up for long."

Only after the cabin had completely stabilized did Gwen finally speak anxiously. Blood seeped from the webbing between her thumbs and forefingers as she gripped the Webbing with all her strength.

Meanwhile, the other officers below had already found soft materials and spread them beneath the cabin.

"You go down first."

"Captain, what about you?"

After everyone in the cabin had safely reached the ground, Captain George seemed unwilling to leave just like that.

"Today, I’m going to see exactly what kind of face is hidden beneath that mask."

George then slowly approached Gwen, who could not make any other movements, and prepared to remove her mask.

However, just as his hand was about to lift Spider-Woman’s mask, he suddenly stopped.

"Hey, looks like you need some help!"

Just as George seemed to hesitate, a voice suddenly came from nearby.

At the same time, Gwen felt as if the cabin had suddenly become weightless. She quickly flipped down to the ground, dodging George’s hand.

The next moment, both of them looked toward the source of the voice and saw a figure wearing a red cape floating outside the cabin, effortlessly lifting with one hand the cabin that Gwen had needed all her strength to keep from falling.
