Meanwhile, Shinnosuke Nohara emerged from the sewers and received a phone call from Kazuto Kiritani.
"Spider-Man, where are you now?"
"Um, I'm not entirely sure myself."
Shinnosuke Nohara, having just emerged from the sewers, was a bit dazed and didn't know where he was. The sewers were so complex and confusing that he couldn't find his way around.
"It doesn't matter. Imamura Kohei is currently causing chaos at the Maple Forest intersection in the 9th district. Judging from his route, he's heading to Suzuki Biotechnology Company. It should take about fifteen minutes. Can you make it in time?"
[Kiritani Kazuto said this as he and Yuuki Asuna traveled.]
"I'll get there as soon as possible. I know where I am; ten minutes at most."
Nohara Shinnosuke looked around at the buildings and, after spotting a landmark, realized where he was.
"Okay, I'll hang up now."
After hanging up with Shinnosuke Nohara, Kirito immediately dialed Zhuge Cong's number; he needed to know the status of the antidote.
【"call."】
[Shin-chan Nohara also jumped directly onto the opposite high-rise building and started using Spider-Man's movement technique, swinging on his webs.]
"I saw it, that lizard. It's on the north building of Suzuki Biotechnology."
[At this moment, Kohei Imamura had arrived at Suzuki Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and broke the glass to find the device he needed.]
[Thanks to Suzuki Biotechnology's early evacuation of personnel, no innocent people were implicated.]
"Another bodysuit."
[As soon as Kohei Imamura entered, he saw a man wielding two swords and another a single sword, both dressed in bodysuits like Spider-Man.]
"Dr. Lizard, truly lives up to his name."
[Kirigaya Kazuto looked at the Lizard Doctor and said, "I've only heard Nohara Shinnosuke mention the Lizard Doctor before; this is the first time I've seen him in person."]
【"Bang."】
Kohei Imamura swept his tail, smashing the surrounding tables and chairs towards Daredevil and Asuna.
There's only one can of lizard potion left; it's for dispensing and can't be used here.
Seeing the flying tables and chairs, Asuna and Daredevil wielded their swords in perfect unison, hacking them down like they were performing a magnificent waltz.
Daredevil then charged at Dr. Lizard, kicking a chair over his shoulder before following up.
[Imamura Kohei, who had just knocked the chair away, saw two long swords coming down towards his head, while another one-handed sword was thrust towards his heart.]
[Imamura Kohei swung his tail backward, while his hands crossed in front of him to hold his twin swords in place.]
Asuna chopped off a portion of Kohei Imamura's tail with a single strike, while Daredevil remained locked in a stalemate with Doctor Lizard.
However, Dr. Lizard's strength surpassed Daredevil's, and Daredevil soon found himself unable to hold on.
"Is it that powerful?"
[Kirigaya Kazuto was shocked. Although he knew from Nohara Shinnosuke that Dr. Lizard had strong physical abilities, experiencing it firsthand was truly astonishing.]
Seeing Daredevil being suppressed, Asuna directly stabbed Dr. Lizard in the heart.
83: Light Yagami's Little Notebook
Although stabbing him in the heart won't kill him, it will render him incapacitated for a short period.
Kohei Imamura had no choice but to give up on suppressing Daredevil and got up to hide to the side.
"What an annoying guy."
Kohei Imamura glanced impatiently at Asuna and Daredevil.
[His plan was almost complete; all he needed to do was retrieve the necessary device, climb to the rooftop, place the drug inside, and launch it.]
[Everyone can enjoy the same evolution as him, becoming a powerful, flawless, perfect species.]
"This guy's a bit troublesome."
"Daredevil, also known as Kirito, looked at Kohei Imamura's hand and saw that the knife wound had healed completely in the blink of an eye, and said with some concern."
[He's really struggling to deal with this kind of guy who has high defense and fast recovery.]
[The previous rhinoceros-men were the same; their rhinoceros-gray hides were so tough that they couldn't be cut down.]
The lizards can cause some damage now, but they recover quickly, so cutting them is practically pointless.
"It's alright, we just need to stall it. Once the antidote is ready, we can turn it back."
Asuna chimed in, "All we need to do is get the antidote and give Dr. Lizard an injection."
Meanwhile, television began broadcasting information about Dr. Lizard and the situation of people in the areas where he had administered his drugs.
"How much longer until the blue potion is finished, Orochimaru?"
[After listening to Jarvis's report about Dr. Lizard, Zhuge Cong said somewhat anxiously.]
[I didn't expect that guy would prepare several lizard potions as a prelude before the official deployment.]
"Just a little bit more."
[In the lab, Orochimaru looked at the progress bar on the screen and said to Zhuge Cong, who was waiting anxiously beside him.]
"I'll go to the scene first. You just wait for the blue potion to be made and sent over. Your armor should still be here, right?"
[Zhuge Cong said that Orochimaru had been officially brought into the Iron Alliance, so he had also made a modular armor for Orochimaru.]
[After all, Zhuge Cong originally envisioned all members of the Iron Alliance wearing armor, but as it stands, apart from himself and Deidara, the other two members, Sasori and Orochimaru, don't seem particularly interested in armor.]
At least Sasori made some modifications, while Orochimaru didn't make any changes at all, just changed the color.
"It's something that others can only envy, yet some people don't seem to care much about it."
Yagami Light shook his head as he watched Orochimaru merely change the color without any further modifications.
Then he started writing and drawing in his notebook, which he had been using since the light screen began.
Light Yagami wrote down all those details and information, feeling that they would be useful in the future.
"They're really tough to deal with."
Daredevil and Asuna looked at the lizard doctor in front of them, who had lost an arm, and said...
[The lizard doctor showed no reaction to his severed arm, and then saw a brand new arm rapidly sprouting from the stump.]
"You can't stop me."
"And why are you stopping me? See? Even a broken hand can recover in the blink of an eye. If it were a human, they'd be lying on the ground, bleeding to death, by now."
"Once I release them, everyone can evolve into a creature as powerful as me. Missing limbs and other deformities will cease to exist; there will be no more flawed individuals, and no more discrimination."
"Besides, aren't you a person with disabilities too? You must also really want to see again, right? Losing your sight must be terrible, and you must feel the stares of others when you walk down the street."
"Once you join my evolution, your flaws will cease to exist."
"Tsk tsk tsk, this guy really knows how to talk. It's true that Kirigaya Kazuto lost his eyes, but Kirigaya Kazuto's other sensory abilities are even more powerful than those of ordinary people."
"Didn't you see that they were evenly matched?"
Kazuma Sato looked at Kohei Imamura, who was verbally attacking Kiritani Kazuto and Yuuki Asuna, and said.
"However, it must be very painful to live without seeing the light, not being able to see anything."
Hachiman Hikigaya said that even with his excellent perception, he would inevitably feel a little disappointed if he lost his sight and couldn't see anything.
"It's in the way."
Kohei Imamura leaped and took the delivery device from Daredevil and Asuna.
"Cough cough cough, I hate guys with regenerative abilities."
[Kirigaya Kazuto coughed lightly and said, looking quite unwell.]
"Can it still move?"
Asuna looked at the twin swords stuck in Kirigaya Kazuto's feet and asked with concern.
[Imamura Kohei's strength still surpasses that of the two of them; Kirito Kazuto was also stabbed in the legs after Imamura Kohei disarmed him of his twin swords.]
Although Kohei Imamura was stabbed in the heart by Asuna, it was clearly not a serious injury.
[While resting with his staff, Tobe Sho was watching TV when the camera caught a glimpse of Spider-Man on a high-rise building. The location of Spider-Man was quite a distance from Suzuki Biotechnology Company; swaying over the nearby buildings would take a lot of time.]
"Damn it, it's still so far."
At this moment, Shinnosuke Nohara looked at Suzuki Biotechnology Company in the distance and said, "Every minute and every second is crucial right now."
[From the TV announcer's voice, Tobe Sho learned that Spider-Man was going to Suzuki Biotechnology Company on the other side.]
Remembering how Spider-Man had saved his son, Tobe Sho immediately stood up and patted the person next to him on the shoulder.
"Come on, we might have to work a little overtime tonight."
"By the way, do you have any connection with Yamamoto, the one who controls the crane here?"
【"What's wrong?"】
"Spider-Man saved my son, so I want to do everything I can to repay him."
