Chapter 60

"Spider-Man?" The door of the new technology center suddenly burst open, and an armored car with steel plates embedded in it drove in. Lü Xiang leaped from the sniper position on the armored car, his movements agile, showing no signs of being an ordinary person.

"Don't attack Spider-Man, deal with the Goblin!" Ymir saw the eager expression on Lü Xiang's face, clearly viewing both Spider-Man and the Goblin as troublemakers who had come to tear up his territory.

Lü Xiang was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "Concentrate fire!"

His men quickly switched to submachine guns from the armored car, and with the 20mm heavy machine gun mounted on the vehicle, a barrage of bullets rained down on the Goblin.

"Damn it!" The Goblin maneuvered his demon glider through the hail of bullets, seeing Herbert standing at the back entrance, unafraid.

However, every time he tried to get closer, he was driven back by the dense curtain of bullets.

"Damn it, I have to take care of you first!" The demon glider made a circle in the air, and the pumpkin bombs the Goblin threw from his bag caught Lü Xiang's men off guard.

A bomb fell along the armored car and exploded, the shockwave lifting the floor for several meters around.

Numerous shattered stones flew up, striking the group where Ymir and the others were standing.

Ymir wiped his face; he had been shielding Kathleen and was hit by a few small stones. But it was fine; the stones were just remnants of the explosion and had lost their force over the distance.

It felt like being bitten by a mosquito, but what was worrying now was not the power of the bombs, but the fact that Ymir was already irritated by the imminent danger.

With his back to Kathleen, Ymir's eyes instantly ignited with ghostly flames. Without using any special abilities, a wave of怨念 (yuan nian, grudge) and curses emanated from him, firmly attaching to the Goblin.

Ymir couldn't use his powers in front of so many people, and the entire process was just a flash. Even Lü Xiang only felt a chill around him before everything returned to normal.

"Ahh, no..."

In the blink of an eye, everything happened in a flash. No one knew what the Goblin had experienced. His demon glider suddenly stopped, and in that moment, the Goblin seemed to have lived through a decade of fear and nightmares. His body visibly hunched.

"You don't look so good," Spider-Man squatted on the roof, watching the Goblin suddenly age. He instinctively knew that the mysterious Wraith had acted, a truly terrifying ability.

Dealing with the Goblin was not as difficult as dealing with a street thug like Old Babu. On the contrary, when Ymir's怨力 (yuan li, grudge power) entered the Goblin's body, it found his mind already twisted and chaotic.

Extreme arrogance, extreme pride, extreme pursuit of perfection, and extreme self-satisfaction.

Negative energy wasn't just about fear; such arrogance was also a good point of entry. A thread of Ymir's怨力 (yuan li, grudge power) easily invaded the Goblin's brain, bringing out his inner fears and then further absorbing the Goblin's fear to strengthen Ymir's control over him.

The entire process was unexpectedly easy, except for the short time.

Ymir only managed to bring out the Goblin's fears and didn't have time to delve into his deeper memories.

The Goblin's bombs and glider were reminiscent of the first-generation Green Goblin, but while Osborn used powerful technological equipment and drugs to enhance his own attributes, the Goblin's "demon glider" and "pumpkin bombs" were of unknown origin. However, it was clear that the Goblin was just a twisted madman, with no genetic or mental enhancements. This was the type of enemy Ymir was best at dealing with.

Suddenly, the Goblin found himself in a boundless darkness, where every corner seemed to hide the contemptuous gazes of the world. For the Goblin, this was the most painful torment he could imagine.

All his costumes and disguises seemed weak and powerless under the countless gazes in the darkness.

It was as if he were stripped naked and standing in the snow.

Each gaze was like a powerful X-ray, thoroughly examining the Goblin from head to toe. Time passed, and the Goblin didn't know why he was in this darkness or if he would ever leave.

The darkness slowly rotated before his eyes, and the world seemed to fall silent. The Goblin could hear nothing but his own heavy breathing.

His extreme arrogance stemmed from extreme inferiority. What the Goblin feared was not the darkness but his own heart.

After an unknown amount of time, a light slowly appeared before his eyes...

"I'm back?" The Goblin found himself still standing on the demon glider, and the technology hall was unchanged. A sense of relief washed over him, despite not having faced any attacks or dangers. He was just grateful to still be alive.

In those few seconds, Ymir had already implanted his fear power in the Goblin. Unlike with Doctor Octopus, he didn't retract his怨力种子 (yuan li zhong zi, grudge power seed).

Even if the Goblin left, he would be constantly surrounded by Ymir's怨毒 (yuan du, grudge), and the nightmare was just beginning...

"I'll take care of you two next..." The Goblin's voice was weak, and he hadn't yet noticed his aging. When Ymir's spirit left his body, it stripped away a significant portion of his life force.

Without the appetite to devour the Goblin's soul in one go, consuming a bit of his life force as a snack was a good alternative.

For some reason, the Goblin always felt a sense of unease, and the technology hall made him shiver. It seemed as if the most terrifying thing in his life was lurking here, and he couldn't wait to leave.

"Remember this, Randon, our deal remains the same. If you want to keep your insignificant secrets, the fee will increase to five times the original amount, and I'll come to collect!"

"Ha ha ha ha!" The Goblin laughed maniacally, throwing three pumpkin bombs from his bag, which exploded on the hall's ceiling.

"I hate flying enemies; spiders don't have wings!" Spider-Man watched the Goblin fly out of the technology center. He wanted to chase him, but there was a more pressing matter to deal with: "Oh no, the roof is about to collapse!"
