Marvel's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse - Chapter 143

Now he sees it.
He saw Gila’s heart hidden under the lizard-man appearance, but kinder than many humans.
“Mr. Beeder, I think, I have already thought about it. I hope you send Gila away. Gila is my daughter, my only daughter.” Dr. Connors said.
Jira was shocked, and her eyes gradually became misty: “Father, is what you said true?”
Dr. Connors nodded solemnly.
Dr. Connors looked into Gila’s eyes, as if he saw an ignorant girl in her eyes.
She is so kind and simple.
His tone became gentler unconsciously, and he said: “Gira, you are different from other lizard people. Although you were also born unexpectedly, this is like a gift to you, a gift that allows you to see the difference.” The gift of the world. Now let me ask you, do you want to be the same again and live in confusion, or do you want to accept this gift and continue to live with a new identity? ”
Gila murmured and repeated his words: “Gift. Live with a new identity.”
Monit’s eyes widened and he struggled to stand up, but then Gwen kicked him again: “Be honest.”
Monit fell to the ground and yelled: “What do you want to do? What do you want to do?!!”
Then he looked at the high platform where Dr. Connors was standing and said in horror: “Father, father, you can’t do this, we are your children!”
Dr. Connors ignored the two of them and still looked at Geela.
Geela was also looking at him blankly.
At this time, Monit noticed something was wrong and shouted: “Father, father! I am Monit, I am your first child!”
Munoz on the side also shouted: “Father, father, look at how cheerful and lively I am!”
As he spoke, he grinned, revealing a scarlet forked tongue.
Bid, Gwen:
You call this cheerful and lively?
Finally, Gila nodded: “Father, I listen to you, and I will go with you.”
Dr. Connors nodded with relief and turned to look at Bede: “Mr. Bede, please.”
Bid raised his hand and teleported Gila to the New Gene Research Institute.
After Gila disappeared, Dr. Connors looked down, his eyes gradually becoming firmer.
“This accident started because of me, and it should be ended by me. I’m sorry, lizard people.”
As he spoke, he pressed the gene bomb switch in his hand and threw it out.
boom!
The genetic bomb exploded instantly.
But there was no fire and no real damage.
But the next moment, a shocking scene appeared.
First, the lizard people who gathered under the high platform to pay homage to Dr. Connors began to shrink in size.
Then there were the two lizard princes, Monit and Munoz, who were subdued by Gwen. Their changes were slightly slower, but their bodies were trembling all the time.
Finally, there are the lizard men who are constantly rushing towards the Nine-Four Spider.
As the torrent of neutrons from the genetic bomb swept through, the lizardmen fell to the ground and roared.
For a moment, this place seemed to have become a hell, filled with the roars of monsters one after another.
Monit’s eyes were full of hatred and madness, and he stared at Dr. Connors: “Father, father, I hate you, I hate you! Ahhh——”
Muñoz burst into tears: “Father, why is this?”
Then, like the other lizardmen, they all turned into lizards and fled in all directions.
The sight of thousands of lizards crawling around is still a bit breathtaking.
But it’s better than having thousands of human-sized lizardmen surrounding you.
Looking at the scene below, Dr. Connors could not speak for a long time.
But he knew he was doing the right thing.
The lizard man was born accidentally due to his fault. To be precise, it was a semi-finished product that evolved against the laws of nature.
That would be fine if there were no humans on the earth.
But since humans already exist, there is no room for a second intelligent species to squeeze their living space.
If you just sit back and watch the lizard people grow, it will only cause a racial war in the end.
But now, restoring everything to the original before they have fully evolved is the best result.
People’s joys and sorrows cannot be shared.
When Dr. Connors was dejected, the Nine-Four Spider jumped to Bid and Gwen: “Huh – is it finally over? My hands are going to cramp. I bet this is me The most intense battle I’ve ever experienced.”
“Isn’t it cool to torture vegetables?” Bi De said, looking at the expression of the Nine-Four Spider.
“Uh,” the Nine-Four Spider scratched his head and said sheepishly, “Okay, it’s indeed quite refreshing. I’ve never felt so comfortable. I’m just a little afraid of beating them to death, so I always have to carefully control my strength. Damn it, I didn’t do that before. So troubled.”
“Oh, damn Versailles!” Bid complained.
“Versailles? Is it the Palace of Versailles in France? What happened to it?” Jiu Si Spider asked in confusion.
“Nothing, this is a common term we use, and it can probably be used in the context you just mentioned.” Bide explained.
“What context?”
“It’s just that you know you are very good, but you deliberately belittle yourself to arouse the admiration of others.” Bide continued.
Ninety-Four Spider:
Afterwards, Bide opened the portal, and everyone stepped through the portal one after another and returned to the New Gene Research Institute.
After they left, this abandoned space returned to deathly silence again.
Everything that the lizards left here will eventually disappear with time, and in the end, perhaps no one will remember that such a group of people ever existed in this world.
Back to the New Gene Research Institute, Jira was standing here.
After being teleported here, she was panicked for a while.
But soon, she smelled the “smell of her father” in the air, which made her calm down quickly.
Jira was temporarily placed in the New Gene Research Institute by Dr. Connors, who would personally teach her human writing, language, knowledge, etc.
The New Gene Research Institute looks big, but there are actually only a few researchers in it.
In addition to Dr. Connors himself, there is the girl named Debra.
This is probably because he knows the dangers of this new gene technology, so he doesn’t want to let others join in easily.
So it’s okay to hide Jira here temporarily.
As for Jira’s future, Dr. Connors hasn’t thought about it yet. He wants to teach her first, and then let her choose what kind of person she will become in the future.
After settling Jira, Dr. Connors also took the opportunity to ask Bid to discuss new genetics.
Bid just happened to have the same idea.
The two hit it off.
So for a period of time, Bid’s life became busy and fulfilling.
He stayed with Dr. Connors every day. With the help of Bid’s quantum vision, the two conducted a very detailed analysis of the gene chain and biological membrane.
And after a month and a half of study, many breakthrough results were obtained.
First of all, Dr. Connors’s broken arm was really cured!
Moreover, it was a brand new arm with no side effects at all, just like it was before it was broken!
This alone moved Dr. Connors and his wife, Lady Margaret.
The relationship between Dr. Connors and Bid became much closer.
Then, it was the mutant lizard gene in Dr. Connors’ body.
Bid also removed the defective part of the mutant gene for him, which not only prevented Dr. Connors from losing his mind even if he entered the lizard state, but also made him stronger.
Finally, and the greatest achievement.
Under the advice of Dr. Connors, they developed a special ability at the genetic level.
They named it: controllable gene mutation.
This is an ability directly related to the cranial nerves and spinal nerves.
It was mainly inspired by Dr. Connors himself.
When studying the genes of the Nine-Four Spiders before, Bid had heard a genetic term from Dr. Maria: gene mutation.
There are two forms of gene mutation.
In a narrow sense, it is called point mutation.
In a broad sense, it is called chromosome aberration.
Among them, point mutation generally does not cause changes in appearance, while chromosome aberration is more serious, but the combat effectiveness is also stronger, belonging to a completely liberated state.
Controllable gene mutation is just like this.
Using this ability, all the mutant genes can be hidden and constantly approach the point mutation state.
In this way, there will be no changes in appearance, and you can live like a normal person.
When you need to fight, you can enter the distorted state and liberate your own combat effectiveness.
The reason why it is connected to the nerves is that the nerves react quickly enough and can transform themselves when they sense external dangers.
This is mainly because the world is full of dangers. For example, Kingpin is always secretly plotting various conspiracies, many of which will involve Dr. Connors.
This allows him to have the ability to protect himself.
During the time when Peter stayed in the institute for further studies, Nine-Four Spider was not idle either.
During this period of time, it can be said that it was calm and the villains mostly did not come out to make trouble. The Punisher and the Blade Warrior seemed to have given up on continuing to trouble him after being defeated by Nine-Four Spider.
So Nine-Four Spider restored his original identity and met Mary Jane at ease.
The relationship between the two quickly heated up, and in the past few days, they were already considering getting married.
Of course, their relationship could develop so quickly, and it was also inseparable from the promotion of Peter and Gwen.
Under their persuasion, Nine-Four Spider put aside his concerns about hiding his identity and revealed this identity to Mary Jane.
This version of Mary Jane is not the one of Toby Spider. She has a tough personality and loves Nine-Four Spider very much.
After knowing his identity, she became Jiu Si Zhu’s best helper.
For example, when encountering some emergency situations, she would assist Jiu Si Zhu in changing clothes, help him lie to cover up his dual identity, and enjoy it.
I heard that she even signed up to learn fighting skills recently, just so that she would not become a burden to Jiu Si Zhu when her identity was exposed one day in the future.
Who wouldn’t love such a girl?
