Chapter 76

Using yin energy, Yimir scooped up a clod of mud from the community flower bed and threw it at Doctor Lizard’s face. The mud splattered everywhere, revealing Doctor Lizard’s face, which, originally green, now faintly showed a bluish-black hue.

Such a hit was even more mocking than Spider-Man’s stinky shoe attack, instantly drawing Doctor Lizard’s fury.

Yimir helplessly said, "I can’t think of any other way, so I just tried to draw his attack. To defeat him, we’ll have to rely on you."

Without time to speak, Spider-Man slid forward and slipped between Doctor Lizard’s legs.

In the moment they passed each other, a strand of webbing wrapped around Doctor Lizard’s leg, tripping him and making him fall flat on his face. Taking advantage of Doctor Lizard’s confusion, Spider-Man leaped into the air, landing on the fallen Doctor Lizard’s head and raising his fist to strike.

"Good, the Tiger-Slaying Style!" Yimir, who was drawing the enemy’s attention, couldn’t help but praise Spider-Man’s cool move.

Unfortunately, the possessed Doctor Lizard was much stronger than a tiger. He didn’t care about the extra weight on his back and quickly stood up, reaching for his shoulders with his claws.

Spider-Man shot two strands of webbing at Doctor Lizard’s claws and jumped around on his shoulders like a circus acrobat performing on a roller coaster. Yimir almost gaped in amazement, involuntarily exclaiming, "Wow..."

"Quick, think of a... plan..." Spider-Man, riding on Doctor Lizard’s shoulders, was almost sick from the jostling, and it took him several tries to get his words out.

Doctor Lizard, holding his son, turned and slammed his back against the wall. He was enraged but not mindless. After such a long fight, Doctor Lizard could still see that Spider-Man didn’t want him to destroy the community buildings.

With Dr. Connors’ intelligence, Spider-Man gave a bitter laugh and quickly jumped off Doctor Lizard. He slid down Doctor Lizard’s body to the lizard’s foot and shot several strands of webbing at a nearby tree, finally stopping Doctor Lizard’s advance.

But this was exactly what Doctor Lizard wanted. He smiled maliciously and lifted his foot to stomp on Spider-Man.

Spider-Man couldn’t avoid this attack, but fortunately, Yimir was prepared.

He raised his hands and released yin energy at Doctor Lizard. The intangible yin energy slowed down Doctor Lizard’s attack.

Taking advantage of this pause, Spider-Man shot a strand of webbing and pulled himself away from Doctor Lizard’s foot, narrowly avoiding the stomp...

At that moment, Doctor Lizard stomped his foot, and a manhole cover in the community suddenly burst open. He ran a few steps toward the sewer entrance with little Billy in his hand and disappeared.

"He’s taken Billy! We have to catch up!" Spider-Man caught his breath and jumped down after him.

Now that the battle had paused and the pressure had eased, he had a chance to ask, "Yimir, why didn’t you use magic to control Dr. Connors’ mind?"

Yimir appeared in the dark sewer, his face bitter. "Do you think I didn’t want to? But I have to tell you, what I use isn’t magic. Controlling a mindless lizard is beyond my capabilities."

"Hey, he’s not stupid at all; he almost stomped me to death." Spider-Man, even with his mask on, showed a vividly frustrated expression. "By the way, didn’t you say he was possessed by a malevolent spirit? As a theology student, haven’t you learned any exorcism methods?"

Yimir was speechless. "I went to a regular program at Columbia University, not some folk ‘shaman’ school. Besides, no one has ever taught me how to deal with a malevolent spirit-possessed lizard!"

Spider-Man: "..."

This was indeed a bit strange. In a sci-fi event, there was a touch of the supernatural.

"Malevolent spirit possession... wait, I have an idea to deal with Doctor Lizard..." Following the trail left by Doctor Lizard, Yimir floated in the air, thinking. He didn’t need to walk himself.

Columbia University hadn’t taught him exorcism methods, but the fairy tales from his past life flashed through his mind, giving him a good idea.

From the nature of his power, Yimir knew he was a vengeful ghost who had been resurrected after death, not much different from the malevolent spirits in hell. If a spirit from hell could control Doctor Lizard, there was no reason he, as a vengeous ghost, couldn’t do the same!

In the ghost stories he had heard in his past life, the most powerful ability, besides creating a spooky atmosphere, was the "possession" ability. Ghosts had the ability to possess, a skill similar to a natural talent.

Yimir was no exception. When this realization dawned on him, he naturally grasped the "possession" technique. He rushed ahead of Spider-Man, more eager than Spider-Man to face Doctor Lizard again.

Playing the malevolent spirit possession card in front of a genuine vengeful ghost was a blatant provocation. Yimir was very interested in seeing what would happen with "ghost possessing a malevolent spirit."

The problem wasn’t just a simple scientific accident anymore. With the involvement of a malevolent spirit, even if the suppressant left by Dr. Connors was effective, it wouldn’t help if the malevolent spirit’s influence on Dr. Connors wasn’t cleared. Even if he returned to human form, it would be useless.

This battle taught Yimir a lot. There were too many extraordinary abilities in this world. If he continued to rely solely on the natural talents of a vengeful ghost, he would be making a big mistake.

The best defense is a strong offense. What he lacked was an indirect and effective offensive skill. Such skills weren’t easy for others to learn.

But as a formal knight of the Knights of St. John, Yimir could enter and exit the church’s library without restriction.

Yimir genuinely felt that he should spend more time in the library studying those magic books.

He remembered that in movies, whether from Marvel or DC, there were many magical heroes, and magic could衍生出无数的超凡力量。有了这样的便利，不去多加开发利用就太可惜了！
