Chapter 831
“Return that glasses to me!” Peter said demandingly.
“Oh, do you want this thing?” Mysterio said as he pulled out EDITH from his pocket. “Why don’t you get it yourself!” Mysterio said as more drones emerged behind him, pushing Peter away from Mysterio.
The drones changed the surrounding area with its holographic technology and Mysterio disappeared in front of Peter’s eyes. Now, everything had turned dark and Peter couldn’t see anything at all. Peter knew that it was just an illusion, but he still required his vision to fight efficiently. As of this moment, Peter was way worse than a blind man!
So, Peter closed his eyes and began to visualize his surroundings based on his memory alone. His Spider Sense immediately kicked into action, providing him with spatial awareness that Peter himself didn’t realize he had until now.
With that said, Peter immediately constructed a clear 3D image in his mind. After hearing a bang from the side, Peter immediately avoided it! it was the sound of a gun shot and Peter avoided it without any problem.
But the shot was meant to be a signal for the drone to fire at the same time and thus, the drones began spitting bullet without stopping. In such a small space, Peter didn’t run away, but he avoided all the bullets while accurately jumped up and down the wall. Peter knew that one mistake would bring him to the river below.
But Peter was confident with his skills, and thus he also destroyed the drones near him one after another.
“This is impossible!” Mysterio shouted as he was shocked by Peter’s agility. He even checked if there was anything wrong with the hologram he conjured.
“Why didn’t the drones outside fire?” Mysterio shouted.
“You are within the attack radius, the probably being hit is high!” Edith replied.
“I don’t care! Order all drones to open fire to Spiderman!” Mysterio shouted. But suddenly, all the drones around him stopped firing altogether.
“What is happening now?” Mysterio shouted as he was stressed out by the situation.
“Higher authority has taken control of the drones! Trying to reconnect … Connection failed!” Edith said monotonously.
Mysterio put Edith on in a hurry, but the word failure was displayed on the entire screen, which was quite puzzling. But then Mysterio noticed the account name that took Edith’s authority and it was none other than Tony Stark himself!
The name itself was nightmare-inducing for Mysterio as it was like Tony was playing with him from the beginning. Tony didn’t bother to show up, but suddenly he took control of Mysterio technology and stopped all of his plan!
Everything is finally over! Mysterio sat down as he was shocked of the situation he was in right now.
“Beck, you lied to me! I trusted you!” Peter said coldly.
“I know, but that is also the most disappointing part of all this! I used to be like you, I put my trust on Tony Stark! I trusted that he would use the technology I developed to change the world, but in the end, I was wrong! Tony Stark is a tyrant! He will never listen to anyone and those with different opinion than him will be driven away to a corner.” Mysterio smiled sadly.
“I thought I would drag him away from his throne and throw him to the mud, but I didn’t expect he would still win in the end!” Mysterio said while looking down to the ground.
“Give Edith back to me, you don’t deserve that technology!” Peter ignored Mysterio’s rant as he couldn’t understand his nonsense.
“Yes, I don’t deserve her, Peter! You are a good person, but this is also your biggest weakness! Stark isn’t wrong, you are worthy of these glasses!” Mysterio said empathetically, but suddenly a shot went off from Peter’s other side.
However, Peter already anticipated such situation would happen.
“I am never going to listen to you anymore!” Peter said as he grabbed the gun from Quentin’s hand that stood behind him. Quentin Beck that sat on the ground and kept on rambling about Tony Stark was a hologram all along!
Peter took Edith off of Beck’s face and knocked him down to the ground with one single punch.
“Edith, deactivate all drones!” Peter ordered.
“Scanning retina and Biometric. Scan Complete! Welcome back, Peter!” Edith signing Peter in.
“Do you want me to turn off all the drones?” Edith asked.
“Yes, execute it immediately! Leave none standing!” Peter said confidently.
“Confirmed, turning off all the drones!” Edith immediately did what Peter ordered and the drones that were still flying around the air immediately flew away, returning to Stark’s satellites in the atmosphere.
Suddenly, Mysterio that was thrown down earlier burst out laughing. Mysterio now realised that Tony has been watching all along. There was no chance that Quentin Beck’s plan would ever work! His drama was nothing more than an entertainment for Tony!
He thought he deceived everyone, but it turned out, he was deceived all along! But before he utterly lost, he had a final gift for Peter.
A shot was heard and Peter turned around immediately. He found Quentin Beck had fallen into a pool of his own blood. It seemed Quentin choose to end his own life instead of answering to his crime!
At the same time, William that worked for Quentin Beck from far away, copied all the data that he got from Edith to a USB flash drive before hurried away. Although Mysterio was dead, they already got their hands on precious data from Stark Industries!
It would come back and bite Peter in the hand later!
