All-Out Assault

"It’s useless! We Lizardmen are the strongest!"

A Lizardman leaped over with all his strength, his claws viciously slashing at Sin Buster. Damon smiled disdainfully, flicked his chain, and wrapped it around the Lizardman’s neck. He then swung the Lizardman like a weapon at the others! Bang, bang, bang! Several Lizardmen were sent flying, and the one caught by the flaming chain turned to ash in the fire! Damon retracted the chain, wielded the Flame Greatsword, and charged at the remaining Lizardmen. At the same time, Electro flew into the air and took out a coin. Electricity rapidly spread from his arm to his hand! "This is the ultimate move Mr. Wang personally taught me—Electromagnetic Railgun!"

Electro flicked the coin into the air. Accelerated by the electromagnetic field, it pierced through a Lizardman’s head at an astonishing speed before exploding through the wall with a boom. It was so fast that it even left an orange beam in its wake!

"You all have new moves, while I’m still using the same old tricks!"

Wind Demon laughed and swept up two Lizardmen outside, sending them high into the sky. Then, he released them. Bang, bang! The two Lizardmen fell to their deaths, their bodies mangled into bloody pulp.

"One reliable move is enough!"

Damon laughed as he cut off a Lizardman’s head. Zack was terrified out of his wits and shouted, "Run!"

"You can’t escape!"

Damon flung his chain with force. It suddenly lengthened, tightly binding Zack before retracting with him back into Damon’s hand!

This was a magical chain forged by Master Ancient One from Uru Metal. It could extend, retract, and bind targets automatically, and Damon loved it! "Look into my eyes!"

Damon then opened his faceplate and stared fixedly at Zack with his hollow eyes. Zack had committed countless evils, and his soul was quickly burned to ash by Hellfire!

Damon tossed Zack’s corpse aside, closed his faceplate, and said grimly, "Something big has happened."

Electro and Wind Demon hurried over. "What happened?"

"Kingpin wants to build a Lizardmen Kingdom!"

Damon explained what had happened, leaving Electro and Wind Demon utterly shocked. That bastard Kingpin actually wanted to turn everyone in New York into Lizardmen? Damon said, "Wind Demon, take the Lizardmen corpses to Bert. Electro, call Chief George. Put the entire city on alert. This is an A-class incident!"

"It really is an A-class incident. If this isn’t handled properly, New York could be gone in minutes!"

Electro immediately nodded. "I’ll call Chief George right away!"

Wind Demon swept up Zack’s corpse and asked, "What about you, Damon?"

"I’m going to check the place where they gathered. Kingpin might still be there!"

Damon activated his suit’s flight function and rapidly flew toward the outskirts of the city. Wind Demon also hurried toward Osborn Tower! "Kingpin!"

Chief George, who had been working overtime at the police station, swayed twice after hearing Electro’s report and nearly fainted. He had never imagined that Kingpin would use his crackdown to complete his own plan!

"Notify City Hall and the military. An A-class incident has occurred. Also, put the entire city on alert and request assistance from S.H.I.E.L.D., Osborn Corporation, and Iron Man!"

Chief George gritted his teeth and said, "In addition, cancel all police leave. Under the leadership of Super Heroes, wipe out every gang!"

A police officer beside him asked in shock, "Wipe out every gang?"

"They’re no longer human."

Chief George said, "We have to move fast. We can’t give them time to react!"

Chief George’s plan was good, but unfortunately, Kingpin was faster. Zack had barely run into trouble before Kingpin received the news. In fact, he was already in New York at that moment!

"Wesley, have those bosses lead their men to attack the police stations and City Hall. Drag all those high-and-mighty people down!"

Kingpin coldly ordered, "Also, inject the vagrants with the defective product and have them cause chaos all over the streets. Tonight, I want New York to stay awake!"

"I’ll notify them."

Wesley nodded. The so-called defective product was a failed mixture of Lizard Serum and Human Enhancement Potion. Those injected with it would develop some Lizardman traits while becoming extremely violent and evil! "Have our people get ready. Once the time is right, we’ll attack Osborn Tower!"

Kingpin looked down over New York, raised both hands, and said excitedly, "By dawn, this city that never sleeps will become the kingdom of us Lizardmen!"

Wesley shouted excitedly, "Hail Lizardmen!"

"Hail Lizardmen!"

The gang bosses who received the order all cheered. They gathered their subordinates and led them to attack police stations and City Hall throughout New York.

The bosses roared, "Move out! Kill those faithless bastards who bully us every day!"

"Kill them!"

The underlings had been holding back their anger because of the crackdown. At the command, they grabbed their weapons and roared. Soon, armed gang members began appearing throughout New York’s streets and alleys. Citizens who had ventured out at night fled in terror, and some even sought help from the police!

But this time, the police could not save the citizens. They could not even save themselves—they were slaughtered by gang members, and even police cars were overturned.

And this was only the beginning. The gang members, already worked into a frenzy, began besieging police stations across the city under their bosses’ leadership. All of New York descended into chaos! "Damn it!"

Chief George watched the situation through the surveillance feeds and cursed repeatedly. He hurriedly ordered police stations across the city to prepare for battle. This was no minor disturbance from Kingpin—he intended to completely overturn New York City’s government! Kingpin was launching a rebellion!

Before long, a burst of gunfire suddenly came from outside headquarters. The gangs in the city had come to attack police headquarters.

Fortunately, headquarters had prepared in advance. The police quickly returned fire from behind the defensive line, killing large numbers of gang members. Seeing this, the bosses transformed into Lizardmen and charged through the gunfire, tearing the police apart.

"Monsters!"

Both the police and gang members were shocked. However, unlike the terrified police, the gang members became excited almost immediately after their initial shock.

They were all criminals who had seen plenty of strange things. The most important thing now was killing cops!

Under the Lizardmen’s assault, headquarters’ defensive line quickly collapsed. Fortunately, Electro arrived at that moment and repeatedly blasted the Lizardmen to death with his Electromagnetic Railgun, barely stabilizing the line.

Seeing that the situation was dire, Chief George shouted, "Everyone, grab your weapons and defend the station with me! Also, order every police officer in New York City to head to their nearest police station for reinforcements."

"What about the citizens?"

A voice suddenly rang out. Everyone turned and discovered it was Spider-Man, who had been following Chief George these past few days.

"Kingpin’s goal is to establish a Lizardmen Kingdom. He won’t allow the Lizardmen to slaughter citizens indiscriminately."

Chief George glanced at Spider-Man and said, "Broadcast an announcement telling citizens to stay home and not come out. We will deal with these monsters before dawn! I refuse to believe that tens of thousands of New York police officers can’t defeat a bunch of monsters!"

"Yes, Chief!"

The police officers all agreed. Spider-Man frowned slightly but did not leave. After all, the police were in greater danger, and he also needed to protect his future father-in-law.

Thinking of something, Spider-Man said, "These Lizardmen are probably related to Osborn Corporation’s Lizard Serum. Osborn Corporation might be able to develop an antidote!"

"Mr. Wang has already had Dr. Connors begin researching it. What we need to do now is hold the police station!"

Chief George shouted. Spider-Man immediately felt relieved upon hearing that. Mr. Wang was extremely reliable! At Osborn Corporation, Wang Bert asked Dr. Connors, "Doctor, you never told me people would turn into lizards after being injected with the serum."

"I didn’t know either!"

Dr. Connors’s brow was furrowed tightly enough to crush a mosquito. He said, "According to my research, the technology in the Lizardmen’s bodies really is based on our Lizard Serum. Although it differs slightly from the one I developed, it is generally the same."

After hesitating for a moment, Dr. Connors said, "In other words, my Lizard Serum would also turn people into Lizardmen. God, it’s a good thing I didn’t inject myself with it, or I would have become a monster like them!"

"That’s why experiments have to follow the rules!"

Wang Bert said, "Enough of that, Dr. Connors. I need an antidote for the Lizard Serum. Can you develop one?"

"I should be able to develop an antidote. Damn it, I developed Lizard Serum to benefit humanity, yet now someone is using it to cause destruction."

Dr. Connors shouted angrily. Gwen repeatedly nodded beside him. It was always people like this who used valuable technology for evil! "I need an exact timeframe. A large number of Lizardmen have appeared in the city, and they are attacking police stations and City Hall. We urgently need an antidote!"

Wang Bert said, "New York has become a battlefield. If we can’t resolve this in time, the military might deploy heavy weapons to level the city!"

Dr. Connors asked in shock, "Heavy weapons? Missiles?"

"Maybe nuclear bombs!"

Wang Bert said, "Don’t make that face. If the entire city turns into Lizardmen, believe me, America’s government will definitely drop nuclear bombs. The military’s usual doctrine is to throw nukes at any problem they can’t solve. If one isn’t enough, use two!"

"Mr. Wang, that isn’t funny at all!"

Dr. Connors shook his head repeatedly. Gwen thought of something and anxiously asked, "Mr. Wang, my father will be okay, right?"

"I sent Spider-Man to protect him, Gwen. This is your father’s duty!"

Wang Bert said, though he secretly shook his head. Whether the Lizardmen could be eliminated this time or not, Chief George would definitely be removed from office, because the government needed a scapegoat!

"That’s good!"

Gwen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed she already knew Spider-Man’s identity!

"I won’t disturb you any longer. Start researching immediately."

Wang Bert said, "Mercury, take my Guardians and protect them. Do not let them be disturbed under any circumstances. Also, protect the Canary Device!"

The Canary Device was equipment that could create medicinal mist. If the dosage was large enough, the mist could even blanket all of New York. That was why it had never been used since its creation! Some people worried that criminals would use it to create poisonous clouds! Mercury asked, "Chairman, are you worried Kingpin will target the Canary Device?"

"That’s possible!"

Wang Bert nodded. In the movie The Amazing Spider-Man, Lizard Doctor had targeted the Canary Device as well!

"In any case, guard it well. But don’t worry too much, because I’ll be stationed at Osborn Tower! If Kingpin doesn’t come here, so be it. But if he does, all that awaits him will be despair!"

After giving his instructions, Wang Bert turned and returned to his office. Frank and Ivan impatiently asked, "Do you need us to go into action?"

"Wait a little longer. I need to assess the situation!"

Wang Bert thought for a moment and ordered, "Have the Hell Sisters, Power Man, Water Demon, and Earth Demon rescue people on the streets. Have Wind Demon and the Blood Clan Police Department reinforce the police stations. Also, contact Damon and tell him to return as soon as possible. Since Kingpin has already launched his plan, he definitely isn’t outside anymore!"

"Alright!"

Lilith nodded and began making calls. Wang Bert looked at New York, now filled with rising black smoke, and could not help shaking his head. He had not expected the Lizardmen to appear before the aliens invaded! Wang Bert sneered. "I wonder whether those bastards who have been funding Kingpin all this time will regret it?"

"Ah-choo!"

Director Fury sneezed. He rubbed his nose and spoke to Coulson and the others aboard the fighter jet through a video call. "Other than Coulson, everyone else is to head to City Hall and rescue people. It’s under attack. Peacemaker and the military’s War Machine have already gone ahead!"

"What about the police stations and the rest of New York?"

Hawkeye, who had only returned recently, asked, "Didn’t you say there are monsters causing destruction in the streets?"

"City Hall is more important. The Super Heroes will deal with the monsters on the streets."

Director Fury said, "As for the police stations, Electro, Sin Buster, Spider-Man, and the others are there. They can definitely hold them!"

Coulson asked, "What am I supposed to do?"

"You’re going to Osborn Tower. If we want to resolve this, we’ll probably still have to rely on Bert Wang!"

Director Fury said, "And this is also his responsibility. The Lizard Serum is an Osborn Corporation product!"

"You want him to take responsibility for the losses this time?"

Natasha sneered. "Director, you’re overthinking it. He never takes a losing deal! Besides, that happened before he took over Osborn Corporation!"

"Enough. Carry out your orders."

Director Fury ended the video call, then contacted the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. in New York City and cursed, "I don’t care what method you use. Find Kingpin for me within an hour!"

With that, Director Fury hung up directly. This incident had put him in an extremely bad mood. He had truly not expected Kingpin to create such an enormous mess! Director Fury silently made up his mind. The Avengers must be established as soon as possible. S.H.I.E.L.D. needs the power to protect the world!

At New York City Hall, before War Machine and Peacemaker arrived, the place had already been breached by Lizardmen and gang members. A large number of high-ranking officials had been massacred. The gang members were extremely excited, since these people had once been so high above them!

"You all deserve to die!"

War Machine and Peacemaker were furious. They immediately opened fire on the gang members with their machine guns. Amid the rat-a-tat-tat of gunfire, gang members died one after another. Several Lizardmen were also blasted into bloody pieces, but they did not die. Instead, they quickly fled into the building to take cover!

"Don’t enter the building. It’s dangerous inside. Wait until the others arrive."

War Machine shouted at Peacemaker. Just as Peacemaker was about to agree, S.H.I.E.L.D. sent him a message ordering him to enter and rescue several high-ranking officials.

War Machine quickly received a similar message. The two looked at each other and helplessly gave up their aerial advantage to fly into the building. They were soldiers, and soldiers had to obey orders!
