Chapter 171: Chapter 156: The Doomsday of New York

Azul looked at the man before him, then at Old Osborn.
He spoke with shocking words.
"I want you to find a way to evacuate the entire city of New York before dawn tomorrow."
The air froze at that moment.
It took Norman Osborn several seconds to react.
"Mr. John, you mean that New York must become an empty city before sunrise tomorrow?"
"Yes," Azul nodded.
Osborn tentatively asked, "May I ask why?"
"I have an enemy."
"A formidable enemy."
"Who has secretly arrived in New York."
"Due to certain reasons, he has hidden himself."
"I think normal methods won't be able to find him."
"So, I don't plan to find him."
"I want to vaporize him along with the entire city of New York."
"Tomorrow, at sunrise."
"This city will be engulfed in temperatures of five hundred thousand degrees."
"If anyone doesn't want to leave, I don't care."
"If they want to die, they can stay."
Azul smiled as he finished this speech, which made Norman Osborn break out in a cold sweat.
Old Osborn looked at Azul in disbelief.
Five hundred thousand degrees?
What kind of weapon does this man plan to use?
Or can he do it himself?
Is that even possible?
The old man's mind went blank, realizing for the first time how limited his imagination was.
After a while.
Norman Osborn said solemnly, "I understand."
"I will contact the authorities and try to persuade them."
"Of course, if they are unwilling to believe it."
"Then there's nothing I can do, they'll have to fend for themselves."
Azul nodded slightly and asked, "You should have awakened a kind of superpower."
Osborn nodded, "Yes, sir."
"I can use some strange languages that can trigger the dark side deep within people's hearts."
"Making them evil and violent."
"I call it 'The Language of Corruption.'"
Azul said, "Oh," "Not a direct combat ability."
"Try using it on me."
Norman Osborn was somewhat worried, "Mr. John, are you sure?"
"It's fine, I won't be affected," Azul wasn't worried at all.
After all, he possessed 'Mental Resistance,' and now his bio-field also had a 'Magic Resistance' effect.
Azul didn't think Norman's ability could affect him.
Old Osborn nodded, then emitted strange syllables from his mouth.
Like the hiss of a snake, mixed with the calls of other animals.
Making the sounds he produced carry a strange charm.
Like the whispers of a demon, full of corruption.
Hearing this whisper, Azul felt something deep within him being stirred.
But at that moment, Old Osborn suddenly screamed, his eyes and nose bleeding, and he stepped back several steps.
He had been rebounded.
Azul's 'Mental Resistance' had a certain chance to rebound the effect, causing backlash to the user.
Now, Old Osborn was clearly rebounded and injured.
This made Old Osborn even more in awe of Azul.
Azul waved his hand, "Go, act quickly."
"Also, help me evacuate a friend."
"A friend?" Old Osborn couldn't believe that someone like Azul had a friend.
What kind of person could be his friend?
So when he saw Lin Aida, he was even more puzzled.
An Asian, and blind.
What was so special about her to be that man's friend?
Osborn didn't understand, but he was greatly shocked.
Lin Aida held onto Azul's shoulder as they walked out of the hotel.
"Mr. John, are we going somewhere else?"
"Yes," Azul smiled, not revealing the truth, and said.
"I happen to know a place with a nice environment."
"I heard there will be a famous musician performing music there."
Azul made a shushing gesture to Old Osborn.
Old Osborn immediately understood, didn't dare to speak out of turn, and politely invited Lin Aida into the car.
"Miss, this way please."
"Mind your head."
Old Osborn now acted like a loyal old butler, not only personally helping Lin Aida into the car.
But also reminding her to be careful not to bump her head.
This scene was seen by the people from Osborn Group, and everyone was stunned.
After getting into the car, it headed towards the airport.
There, a private plane was ready to take Azul and Lin Aida to a villa owned by the Osborn family in Hawaii.
Sitting in the car on the way to the airport.
Azul thought over his plan again.
He put himself in the invader's shoes, if he were the invader.
He would definitely hide, using every means possible to hide for 72 hours, to get through the most difficult period.
If that were the case, trying to find the invader in a sea of people.
Would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Azul didn't want to waste that kind of energy.
So he used a time-saving and labor-saving method.
Directly turning the 'Heat Ray' to its maximum temperature, delivering a devastating blow to New York.
Letting the invader and New York disappear in the five hundred thousand degrees of solar radiation.
If the invader wisely escaped, that would be acceptable to Azul.
No matter what.
Azul was determined to take the invader's life within these 72 hours, when he was at his weakest.
The reason for giving New York a day to evacuate.
Was to avoid killing important figures like Peter Parker.
Having finally changed Spider-Man's beliefs, Azul wanted to see what changes Peter Parker would undergo next.
Azul continued to ponder.
If the invader didn't die in the New York explosion, then he would deploy 'Seeds of Destruction,' creating a 'Doomsday' to fight for him.
Then replicate a clone with 80% of his own strength.
Using these two to probe.
When absolutely sure, then harvest the invader!
After going through these steps in his mind again, a smile gradually appeared on Azul's lips.

In the apartment.
"Done."
Peter Parker looked at the web shooter he had made.
The web it shot was made of Osborn Bio-Web, which had unparalleled tensile strength.
This bio-web, a small ball could safely store over a hundred meters.
This lightweight cable could be used for many purposes.
Peter Parker then looked at the computer.
He had his eye on a spandex material, planning to use it to make a suit.
At that moment, his homemade radio crackled to life.
"Come quick, there are robbers who have robbed a bank."
Peter Parker looked up, then put on the web shooter, took out a mask, put on a windbreaker, and left through the window.
On a street.
A car was speeding away.
Behind, two police cars were in hot pursuit.
Then, from the front car, a masked man stuck his head out.
Then he aimed a rifle and shouted, "Die, cops!"
He fired wildly, causing one of the police cars to blow a tire, and the other to crash into a fire hydrant.
"Haha."
"Die."
The robber gave the police cars the middle finger.
Then something flew over his head.
He looked up.
And saw a figure crouching on a streetlight ahead.
It was a weirdo in a red mask and a windbreaker.
Then this weirdo jumped down, landing on their car.
With a casual punch, he shattered the windshield, then reached in and grabbed the driver.
And threw his accomplice out of the car.
The masked robber shouted, "Damn it!"
He aimed the rifle at the weirdo.
But the other grabbed the barrel and lifted it, causing the robber to fire into the sky.
Then the weirdo jumped up, shooting webs from his wrists.
The webs stuck to the speeding car, and the weirdo pulled on the webs.
The car jerked violently, and the masked robber in the passenger seat flew out through the broken windshield.
Landing on the ground.
Unable to move for a while.
Then he saw the weirdo descending from the sky, and as he was about to raise the rifle, the weirdo kicked it away.
Then stepped on the robber's gun hand, twisting it out of shape.
The bones in his arm were all shattered, the flesh mangled, blood instantly soaking his sleeve.
"My hand!"
"My hand!"
The masked robber screamed.
Then he heard the weirdo say, "Next time you think about robbing, remember your hand."
With that, the weirdo shot another web from his wrist, sticking to a building, and with a whoosh, he was propelled away.
Then he swung around the building and disappeared around the corner.
On a rooftop somewhere.
Peter Parker crouched on the edge, took off his mask, and looked at the bustling city, then stood up and let out a whoop.
At that moment, he saw a projection screen on a building ahead broadcasting a news report.
"Citizens of New York, please be advised."
"Please follow the instructions and evacuate the city in an orderly manner."
"For specific reasons, please pay attention to the official radio announcements."
Evacuate the city?
Why?
Peter Parker didn't know the reason, but that didn't stop him from rushing back to his apartment.
Only Aunt May was at the apartment now, and he couldn't leave her alone.
Back in his apartment bedroom, Peter took off his mask and hurried to the living room.
In the living room, Aunt May was looking at the computer, bewildered.
"Aunt May."
Peter went to his only relative, "Have you heard?"
"It seems there's going to be a city-wide evacuation."
"I just saw the news, oh my, what's happening?" Aunt May looked incredulous.
At that moment, a community police broadcast sounded outside.
"Please leave your homes immediately, we have special vehicles to take you away."
"Please bring your ID, travel light, we don't have much time left."
Peter said, "Aunt May, pack up, we'll meet in 5 minutes."
He went back to his room, packed up, and put the mask and shooter into a backpack.
As he picked up the backpack to leave, the phone rang.
The screen showed Gwen Stacy's name.
"Hello, Gwen."
Peter answered the phone.
Gwen's anxious voice came through, "Peter, have you left yet?"
"I heard from my dad that there seems to be a bomb in the city with enough power to destroy the entire city."
"That's why the authorities are ordering an evacuation."
"They've prepared a camp outside the city to take us in, we'll meet there."
Gwen's father was the police chief, so her words were highly credible.
A bomb powerful enough to destroy the entire city, is that a nuclear bomb?
Peter quickly agreed, then hung up and went to the living room.
After meeting up with Aunt May, they left the apartment and, guided by the community police, boarded a bus.
Osborn Tower.
"Quick, quick, leave now."
"The company cars are downstairs."
Outside the lab, there was chaos.
Dr. Connors looked up, then the one-armed doctor continued his work.
Until his assistant ran in, "Dr. Connors, it's time to go."
"You go first, I'm solving a problem, I'll take the helicopter later."
The assistant nodded and left quickly.
Dr. Connors looked up and said gravely, "Hurry."
"Hurry up!"
Two days ago, Peter Parker had found him and given him an algorithm.
This would be the key to solving the cross-species gene fusion.
Now, the doctor was trying to use this algorithm to break through the bottleneck that had been unbreakable before.
As the screen repeatedly showed failure alerts, Dr. Connors turned around and shouted.
After venting, he heard the computer prompt, "Fusion successful."
"Fusion successful."
Dr. Connors couldn't believe it and looked back.
Then he rushed to the computer, he wanted to use the existing materials to make a cross-species gene fusion potion.
He looked at his half arm.
"Soon, it will be successful."
The evacuation of New York went on for a day and a night.
By nightfall.
Peter and Aunt May arrived at a camp.
Above the camp, helicopters were constantly coming and going.
All around, soldiers were maintaining order.
Every citizen entering the camp had to provide valid identification.
When Peter's identity was confirmed, a police officer approached.
"Peter Parker?" the officer asked.
Peter nodded.
The officer spoke into his walkie-talkie, "Peter Parker is here."
Then he said, "Please follow me, you are guests of Osborn Group."
"Osborn Group has prepared accommodations for you, you're lucky, young man."
The officer looked envious.
Moments later, Peter Parker and Aunt May were led to a 'house' made of temporary materials.
As he entered, he saw Gwen talking with Dr. Connors.
"Hey, Gwen," Peter waved.
Gwen came over immediately, "Peter, did you get the invitation too?"
"From Osborn Group?"
Peter nodded, "Yes, you too?"
"Strange, why would Osborn Group?"
Gwen shook her head, indicating she didn't know.
Then her parents came over, bringing her two younger brothers.
George Stacy looked at Peter and said, "Gwen, I have to go back to work."
"You stay with your mom and brothers, don't go outside, it's chaotic out there."
"It's safe here, Osborn Group is protecting this place."
Gwen nodded, "Be careful, Dad."
"I will," George kissed his daughter on the forehead, glanced at Peter again, and left the house.
At that moment.
Far away in the Osborn villa in Hawaii, Azul looked at the screen showing Peter Parker, Gwen, and others, and smiled.
They were protected by Osborn Group, naturally at Azul's behest.
Then Norman Osborn came in.
He respectfully said to Azul.
"Mr. John, as per your instructions, I persuaded the authorities to evacuate New York urgently."
"However, there are still some people in the city."
Azul nodded, he had already been merciful giving New York's citizens a day to evacuate.
If some wanted to die, he didn't mind letting them disappear with the city.
Then, Norman Osborn cautiously said, "Mr. John, I have a foolish question, may I ask?"
"Go ahead."
Old Osborn then said, "With such a large-scale evacuation, if your enemy is in the city, he should know."
"If he becomes suspicious and follows the evacuation, even blending into the camp."
"What then?"
Azul smiled slightly, "That's why I must leave now."
"To ensure that guy stays in the city."
Old Osborn looked puzzled.
Azul didn't explain further, he flew out the window, "Protect my friend."
Then he soared away.
At the first cosmic velocity, it didn't take him long to appear above the massive camp outside New York City.
He appeared in his true form, believing the invader wouldn't dare to attack at this moment, otherwise, the other wouldn't have been so careful in hiding.
Secondly, appearing in the camp, if the invader was there, he would surely leave immediately.
Because the invader couldn't be sure if the New York evacuation was a trap.
A trap to lure him out and then be caught by Azul!
This was a psychological tactic.
The more cautious the invader, the more likely he was to fall for it.
Just as Azul appeared above the camp.
Far away on top of Osborn Tower in New York City.
The tower was deserted, but a figure appeared on the rooftop.
It was the 'Homelander' from another universe.
Before him, a huge, eerie, illusory eyeball appeared.
The gray-white pupil reflected the scene above the camp outside the city, reflecting Azul's figure.
"Cunning fellow."
"I knew today's evacuation wasn't simple."
"Indeed, it's a trap."
"Trying to catch my attention, then lure me over, and finish me off?"
"That's underestimating Martin Shink."
Then.
The illusory gray-white pupil kept switching scenes.
This 'Homelander' named Martin was using some kind of magic to search for his target.
Moments later, the gray-white pupil showed some scenes.
The smile on his face gradually widened.
In the blink of an eye.
Dawn quietly arrived.
As the eastern sky began to lighten.
The vast city of New York was as quiet as a ghost town.
At that moment.
A dazzling golden light suddenly appeared in the sky above the city.
Like the sun suddenly rising.
This caught the attention of the residents in the camp outside the city.
They looked towards the city, then saw the light rapidly descend into New York City.
The next second.
The city was engulfed in a brilliant light, followed by a tremendous sound, and the ground shook.
As a massive fireball, enveloping the entire city of New York, rose and expanded.
A fierce wind blew from the direction of New York City, then like a hurricane, swept through the entire camp.
Instantly, the sounds of wind, screams, and various noises erupted.
Countless tents, lightweight objects, and even people in the camp were swept into the air.
Then people and debris fell from the sky.
People who fell to the ground got a mouthful of grass, and when they looked up, they saw that New York City had disappeared.
The sound of a massive explosion continued to echo, the city was engulfed in flames, buildings toppled.
This scene was like doomsday!
