From the moment Electro, Max, was rescued by Harry, he made up his mind to take revenge on Spider Man.
Back when he worked as an electrician, he had been so ordinary and useless, suffering endless cold stares and being ignored.
After seeing Spider Man's extraordinary abilities, a fantasy quietly grew in his heart, 'If I could have that kind of power too… no one would ever ignore me again.'
And when he truly gained the ability to control electricity, the first thing he did was try to fill the emptiness inside.
Classic overnight rich mentality.
Just like when an ordinary person wins the lottery and the first thing they do is pay in full for something they have wanted for a long time.
Luxury cars, villas, massage girls, and so on.
Spending money does not affect other people.
But what Max did put the whole city at risk.
That was something Spider Man, who was determined to protect the city and stop chaos, could not tolerate.
In the fight just now, Max had the upper hand the whole time, pressing Peter Parker into the ground and grinding him down.
But just when the resentment in his heart was about to be wiped away by his own hands, an impolite foot stepped on his face.
Back when he was an ordinary person, no one had stepped on him like that.
Let alone now. Things were different. He had become like a god of thunder.
Sensitive as he was, his anger shot through the roof again.
Corin could not care less about what Max was thinking.
Even if he knew, he would just sneer.
"You're a god of thunder? Then who was that guy calling me bro? And since when does a god of thunder get knocked down by electricity?"
Actually, he can.
Daisy knocking Thor out with a stun gun was a legend even in Asgard.
Corin stood in the center of the high voltage current. Before long, his energy bar was filled to the brim.
100%, 101%, 102%...
"So hitting one hundred percent isn't even the limit."
Satisfied, Corin casually pulled a piece of metal over and guided the current into the ground, then slowly landed.
The white bathrobe he was wearing had already been burned full of tiny holes by sparks. It was full of drafts everywhere.
But it did nothing to ruin his bright mood.
The charging physique that the system compensated him with had invisibly given Corin more confidence.
"This is just electrical energy. What about other types?"
As he thought, he looked down at the only slipper left on his foot.
When he kicked Electro earlier, the pure cotton slipper had instantly burned to ashes on Max's face.
And with the charging that followed, his current look could only be described as abstract.
Yet his body was completely fine, even full of energy.
His eyes shone especially bright in the dark.
Crackle!
Electro shifted his target of venting to Corin.
With a move like thunder crashing down, he once again drowned Corin in a sea of lightning.
After just bathing in hundreds of thousands of volts, Max's furious attack now felt like nothing more than a scratch to Corin.
103%!
It even gave him another one percent charge.
As for why the brief flash of electricity at the hotel had given him more than one percent, but now this fierce attack only added one point.
The only explanation was that this energy bar was probably like a gas tank. The lower it was, the easier it filled.
Corin was fine. But his bathrobe clearly was not. The hem burst into flames in an instant.
"This isn't good."
Corin did not have a habit of strolling around naked under the moon.
Huff!
A breath of cold air put out the flames on his body, and at the same time he formed an ice pillar that guided Max's lightning into the ground.
Anyone good at physics might ask, ice has very poor conductivity and can even be considered non conductive. How could it act like a lightning rod?
That was because while forming the ice pillar, Corin controlled it precisely, leaving a thin layer of water film on its surface.
Enough of that.
Over there, little spider Peter Parker had been blasted away by the high voltage and taken quite a hit. He was struggling to get back up.
And Electro, having lost face completely, was raging.
Only now did Corin turn his gaze toward Max, glowing like he came with built in LED effects.
Then he glanced at his own bathrobe, barely covering his private parts after being burned, his expression turning slightly displeased as he blamed him.
"Young man, that was a bit rude, don't you think?"
Max did not know what that term meant, but he understood the rest.
Lightning flashed across his face, and the blood vessels on his head visibly contracted under the electric glow.
He was furious.
If we are talking about rude, what could be more offensive than stepping on someone's face the moment you show up?
'Running out in the middle of the night wearing a bathrobe, is that polite?'
'Leaving your massage girl behind, is that polite?'
'Did you even pay the bill before coming here to cause trouble?'
'You! Is that polite?'
Putting aside the fact that Max was nearly pushed to a mental breakdown by one sentence.
Corin had no intention of wasting words with him. Two beams of heat vision slammed into Electro's body.
Different from pure electrical energy, Corin's heat vision carried penetrating force with tactical power behind it. In an instant, Max's temperature shot through the roof.
"Ah! Hot!"
Boom!
Max had just felt a trace of scorching heat burning his very soul when his whole body was blown apart by the energy, exploding into a sky full of scattered light.
And the energy used to instantly kill him had not even consumed one percent.
After killing Electro with a single glance, Corin raised his hand. A few pieces of metal instantly assembled into a smooth handle and moved to Peter's side.
"Mr. Corin, sorry to trouble you to save me again."
Peter Parker braced himself against the handle Corin provided and struggled to stand up.
After catching his breath for a moment, he zipped over to Corin.
Even with the Spider Man mask on, Corin could tell Peter was looking at him with shining eyes.
"Sir, don't leave yet! Gwen is your idol."
"No, you're Gwen's fan…"
"No, what am I even saying?"
"Anyway, please wait!"
Corin had indeed been thinking about heading back.
Not for anything else. He had rushed out in a hurry, and this bathrobe he was wearing right now was a bit too embarrassing.
But after understanding Peter's awkward explanation, Corin understood and could not help but smile.
After the Battle of New York, everyone had been conquered by the glorious image of the Avengers.
It could be said that all of New York, even the whole world, was protected by the Avengers.
People deeply appreciated their grace and protection. That included Peter and his girlfriend.
Peter knew that Scarlet Silver Duke was Mr. Corin. He had no doubt about the role Corin played in the fight against the aliens.
And the truth had proven him right.
As for his girlfriend Gwen, as one of the few ordinary people who had interacted with Corin, she had long since become a fan of this mysterious man together with Peter.
Peter often mentioned Corin in front of Gwen. Especially when he faced setbacks, it was Corin who had pulled him out of the abyss of depression.
That made Gwen deeply grateful to Corin as well.
When the Battle of New York happened, they were attending an exchange event out of town and were not there.
Watching the news, scenes that looked like the end of the world, Gwen's heart almost shattered.
Her family was there.
When she returned home and heard her father personally describe how the Avengers had saved him several times in a single day.
Gwen's gratitude toward Corin grew even deeper.
She had repeatedly told Peter that if they ever had the chance to see Mr. Corin again, she had to be given an opportunity to thank him in person.
Of course, if she could get an autograph on the side, that would be even better.
For little spider, this was the perfect chance to complete his girlfriend's request.
Seeing Corin again after such a long time also made Peter extremely excited.
Especially since Corin had just descended like a god and forcefully taken down the troublesome Electro.
That added yet another layer to Peter's idol filter.
Gwen walked out of the control room and saw with her own eyes Electro explode into scattered light under a fierce beam.
Her worry for Peter was beyond words.
She was also curious who this sudden figure was, but her eyes immediately searched the scene for her beloved.
When she saw Peter reappear in her line of sight, chatting enthusiastically with that mysterious person.
Realizing who that person might be, Gwen had already started looking forward to meeting her idol from a distance.
"Hey, Gwen! Look who's here!"
Peter saw Gwen come out of the control room and waved excitedly as he shouted.
Suddenly, a trace of disturbance passed through Corin's spider sense.
