Chapter 79

If this will is not eliminated, Dr. Connors is likely to turn into a demonic entity again in the future. As long as the Lizard's consciousness replaces Dr. Connors', he can transform into a half-human, half-beast form at any time, without even needing the hybrid gene serum.

This is because Dr. Connors had already been injected with a large dose of the hybrid gene serum, and the suppressant can only provide limited suppression after Dr. Connors transforms.

To completely eradicate the Lizard's will, this is no longer within the realm of science but has entered the domain of magic or theology.

"Dr. Connors, are you feeling better now?" Spider-Man asked the lizard man, who had a look of regret on his face, but quickly realized his rudeness.

"Thank you, Spider-Man, I'm much better... But that guy is still lurking inside me. I can feel him ready to take over my consciousness and drag me into the abyss of corruption..."

"Don't worry, Doctor, I've temporarily suppressed him." The voice of Imir came from the lizard man's mouth. He wasn't lying; in the absence of a way to eliminate the Lizard's will, sealing it would be a better option.

Imir said lazily, "I initially thought you were possessed by a demonic entity, but now it seems that an independent demonic consciousness has formed in your mind."

In the Bible, angels who fall become demons in hell; and if a human is possessed by the devil, they will offer their soul and fall into hell to become a demonic entity.

Dr. Connors was lured by Mephisto in such a state, willingly embracing Satan.

There are many Satan-level demons in hell, with the Seven Princes being the most typical representatives. Mephisto, however, is a powerful demon outside the Seven Princes. In terms of power, Mephisto may have already approached the level of Satan.

Spider-Man was stunned; he didn't understand what Imir meant, so Imir tried to explain using a more accessible scientific analogy: "Don't worry, Spider-Man, just think of it as Dr. Connors having a split personality, with another chaotic demonic soul appearing."

"I... have a split personality?" Dr. Connors felt his brain wasn't enough to process this. He was clearly very clear-headed, but somehow he had become a madman.

A madman, yes, scientifically speaking, it's a mental illness.

"To be honest, I don't know why this happened. Perhaps the hybrid gene serum originally contained reptilian gene fragments when it took effect in Dr. Connors' body, or perhaps Mephisto's intention was always this."

"Regardless of the reason, all I can do now is try to suppress the Lizard's consciousness. Alright, Spider-Man, raise the Gnarly Device and fire it at me."

Imir was worried that the Gnarly Device might have some adverse effects on Dr. Connors. Although he spoke confidently, he was unwilling to take any risks with Dr. Connors and quickly left the Lizard's body.

Like a faint, indistinct shadow, Imir lightly tapped the brim of his hat, smiled at the Lizard, and then vanished.

He had accomplished what he could; the rest was up to science. He hoped that the suppressant Dr. Connors developed would be effective and could reverse his transformation from a lizard man back to a human.

Imir left the Lizard's body and didn't forget to take the fear power he deserved.

Feeling as if all his strength had been drained, Spider-Man's gaze shifted to the lizard man lying on the ground. He asked with some concern, "So, Dr. Connors, shall I start?"

The lizard man nodded weakly, and Spider-Man didn't hesitate. He took out the vial containing the suppressant from his belt and poured it into the Gnarly Device. The glass tube that originally showed pink liquid immediately turned a light blue.

Spider-Man held the device with both hands, like a large spear, found the control button, and pressed it.

The lizard man was illuminated by the intense light emitted by the Gnarly Device, and his entire body began to tremble violently. At the same time, a reptilian shadow gradually appeared on his head, slowly dispersing into countless black wisps under the strong light.

The suppressant was taking effect on the lizard man. His face turned crimson, and countless tiny red blood vessels began to appear. The lizard man writhed and screamed in agony on the ground, but the black mist emanating from his body became visibly weaker.

When the mist was completely driven away by the light, Dr. Connors let out a scream, and his body slowly returned to human form.

He finally became Dr. Connors again. Billy climbed down from the sewer pipe and ran to Dr. Connors' side, "Dad, is he okay?"

"He'll be fine, the suppressant worked!" Spider-Man looked at the Gnarly Device in his arms, feeling quite moved.

Peter, a biology student, understood very well the chances of success when using a drug on a human without any clinical trials. This could only mean that Dr. Connors was indeed very skilled, and his luck was also quite good.

Dr. Connors lay on the ground, panting heavily. He held his empty sleeve and said weakly, "What a pity, I'm back to being one-armed."

Spider-Man lowered his head, unsure how to comfort the doctor, but Dr. Connors laughed, "But it's much better than being a servant of Satan!"

He respectfully asked the air in front of him, "Mr. Freddy, is there any hope for me?" Imir had only accidentally sealed the Lizard's will within him, but it wasn't a sure thing.

"Doctor, you can call me Wraith." Imir appeared from the air. It's hard for non-Westerners to understand their respect for knowledge. Being a doctor means being an elite in any setting.

He didn't want to deceive Dr. Connors: "This is my first attempt at this method, and all I can do for you now is this. However, I will try to learn some exorcism spells to help you completely eliminate the Lizard's consciousness."

Spider-Man asked in confusion, "Hey, didn't you say you don't use magic?"

Imir shrugged, "People always need to learn. I can't just rely on my natural talents. If possible, I will not only learn magic but also some combat techniques. I don't want to be at a disadvantage again and unable to fight back. Dr. Connors hasn't recovered his strength yet, so in a bit, you can carry little Billy and carry the doctor out..."
