Chapter 55: The Ancestral Man is Scared Shitless

Gwen was nearly blown away by the massive shockwave!

This is terrifying!!

This is absolutely terrifying!

Is this the true power of the Punisher?!

A hundred-meter-tall building turned into dust in an instant!

He shouldn't be called the Punisher; he should be called the Destroyer!!!

The newly minted superhero, Spider-Gwen, was utterly shaken!

Her heart was pounding like crazy!

Originally, she thought the Punisher was just better than her in combat strategy, but now she realized that compared to him, she was nothing.

At the same time, Gwen felt a sense of relief.

Thankfully, thankfully, such a powerful person is on the good side. Otherwise, it would be a disaster for the entire world.

Peter, on the other hand, remained expressionless, as if the explosion that just happened was a trivial matter.

But deep down, he was also incredibly shocked.

He initially thought it was just a regular explosion, but he didn't expect the danger to be this intense!

If it weren't for the Ox Talisman's immense power and the fact that the explosion was confined to the target area, Peter would have probably fled long ago.

Too bad, if he had known it was this powerful, he wouldn't have used it...

Homelander stared blankly at the dust and debris around him.

He was almost in a daze.

The crimson glow in his eyes faded, and he was now completely devoid of any fighting spirit. His gaze towards Peter was filled with fear!

This man is too powerful!!!!

He was the closest to the explosion and saw the most horrifying scene!

The explosion at Vought Tower seemed to be tightly controlled by an invisible hand!

It was as if a protective barrier had divided the entire blast radius.

Clearly, the only one capable of doing this was the man standing before him.

Facing such a terrifying opponent, Homelander's hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

Just as Peter had said earlier, he was afraid of falling from his high pedestal, becoming an object of scorn.

He feared aging, losing his deterrence, and being replaced by others.

The only thing he never feared was death!

He believed that almost no one in this world could be his match!

Thus, the gates of death were forever locked to him.

But just now.

He discovered that the lock on those gates had vanished, and the door seemed to be creaking open!

"Who are you, really?" Homelander asked in a low voice, clearly already considering retreat.

That kind of explosion just now—even he couldn't withstand it.

Even with his superhuman body, he couldn't survive that kind of damage.

He would definitely die!

Peter hovered in the air, looking down at him.

"Do I need to explain myself to you?"

"Remember what I said: Vought is not allowed in New York from now on. Otherwise, all of you will die."

Peter's voice was soft, but Homelander shuddered.

Then he flew away, leaving this place that filled him with fear!

[New Mission Unlocked.]

[As a newly minted superhero, Spider-Gwen's combat skills are far from pass. Teach her some fighting techniques!]

[Reward: 10,000 points, a new ability!]

This mission hit right at Peter's heart.

Having a girlfriend like this was indeed worrisome.

He had been planning to teach Gwen some combat skills for a while now.

"Miss Spider."

"Huh?!"

Gwen was still reeling from the explosion, unable to snap out of it.

"Your fighting is as laughable as your web-slinging."

"Next weekend, 3 PM, I'll be waiting for you at the Christmas Café in Queens."

"I'll teach you some combat techniques."

To be fair, the combat skills from the Yan Shuangying template were pretty impressive.

Even if Gwen were just an ordinary person with no powers, mastering these techniques would allow her to take on ten thugs with ease!

Gwen was a bit slow to react.

"Why? You don't seem like the type who enjoys helping others."

In Gwen's impression, the Punisher was an extremely violent individual! Although he did good things, his methods were too bloody!

And he didn't seem like the kind-hearted type either.

"Don't get the wrong idea. I just think your fighting style is too childish."

"As a superhero of New York, you're really embarrassing this city!"

"Whether you come or not is up to you."

With that, Peter left.

Sorry, Gwen.

I didn't mean to be harsh with you. I just want you to improve.

After all, knowing shame leads to courage...

If it were anyone else, I wouldn't bother.

But since you're my girlfriend...

Back in Queens, the house was empty.

Uncle Ben was at the hospital with Aunt May.

Peter took a deep breath. He felt heartbroken over Aunt Lisa's death, but there was nothing he could do.

As Hamlet once said,

"No one has ever returned from the world of the dead."

All Peter could do was kill A-Train to avenge Aunt Lisa.

Beyond that, he couldn't change anything.

Sitting on the couch, he grabbed a carton of milk from the fridge.

Ever since the family came into money, the fridge had been well-stocked, mostly with things Peter bought.

Fruits, yogurt, chocolate, all sorts of stuff.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

As soon as Peter opened it, Gwen, wearing a white hoodie, gave him a big hug.

"Gwen, what are you doing here?"

"I missed you!"
