Chapter 1 Octopus Doctor

Doctor Octopus was a middle-aged man, wearing coffee-colored sunglasses. He looked quite ordinary, always draped in an earthy yellow windbreaker, seemingly year-round. He was sturdily built, and his face even gave off a feeling of being fleshy. Only his eyes held a kind of focus, stubbornness, and coldness, as if there was nothing in the world he wouldn't discard except for the things he cared about.

To be honest, Doctor Octopus's first impression definitely wasn't that of a doctor. Describing him as a truck driver or a mafia boss would be more accurate.

Because of an accident during a nuclear test, his spinal nerves fused with his mechanical arms, and his body was strengthened by nuclear radiation, like a mutant. The components in the radiation altered his brain tissue. With four extra arms, his brain reorganized the neural pathways in his body to optimize performance. Now, these tentacles could operate completely according to his thoughts.

The four mechanical arms behind him were not to be underestimated. Each arm possessed powerful artificial intelligence, and each could lift eight tons of weight. The operation was simple, completely radiation-resistant, and the accuracy was extremely high. The telescopic function allowed the tentacles to coil and hide within the wide windbreaker, which allowed him to complete one amazing experiment after another, write countless new theories, and make him famous worldwide.

Fang Senyan raised his arm to block Doctor Octopus's attack, but he also trembled all over and was pushed back several steps. However, Fang Senyan immediately grabbed another mechanical arm, taking advantage of Doctor Octopus's surprise. He exerted force with both arms, and unexpectedly threw Doctor Octopus flying!

Doctor Octopus's heavy body slammed heavily onto the roof of the nearby car. The windshield shattered and flew in all directions, and the alarm wailed. A huge hole was dented in the roof. Doctor Octopus, having suffered a loss, flew into a rage. The mechanical arm suddenly clamped onto a car door, effortlessly tearing it from the car body, and then threw it at Fang Senyan.

This attack method immediately caught Fang Senyan off guard. He dodged left and right, but before Doctor Octopus could dismantle half a car, he was smashed to the point where he had nowhere to hide. Then, a steel tentacle swept over and sent Fang Senyan flying ten meters away. A grim smile appeared on Doctor Octopus's face. He had finally vented some of his anger.

But just as he was about to press his advantage, Fang Senyan rolled over and stood up, shouting:

"Shop!"

Immediately, Fang Senyan flipped his wrist, and the +13 West was already in his hand. Doctor Octopus laughed arrogantly, saying:

"You think you can use this child's toy to..."

His laughter stopped abruptly. The young man in front of him stepped forward and slashed out with his knife. The blade seemed to flash with a逼ren锋芒. A Citroen car next to him was actually sent tumbling several times by this slash, and the shrill, hoarse screech of metal could be heard. Split in half! This weapon had proven that it possessed the strength to threaten Doctor Octopus's tentacles.

Doctor Octopus sneered and raised a tentacle. The mouth of the tentacle opened, and a dark muzzle appeared from within, then roared loudly:

"You think a broken knife can threaten me?"

Fortunately, after Fang Senyan unleashed this slash, he stopped attacking and stood in place, spreading his hands and saying:

"Wait! I'm here to find you, not because of justice or any of that bullshit, but because I want to invest."

"Invest?" Doctor Octopus was stunned. He probably hadn't heard such words in a long time.

At this time, Fang Senyan was approaching openly with his hands raised, saying: "That's right. Invest. I analyzed all the scientists, and I still think you, Doctor, have the most potential and investment value."

This seamless flattery immediately narrowed the distance between the two. Doctor Octopus was still wary, saying:

"Then what project do you want to invest in?"

Fang Senyan shrugged:

"I don't think this is a good place to discuss things. Why don't we find a place to have a cup of coffee?"

Doctor Octopus narrowed his eyes, took a deep look at Fang Senyan, and suddenly said:

"Since you're here to invest in me, why did you fight me first?"

Fang Senyan spread his hands and said with a wry smile:

"Because although someone recommended me to find you, if I came in the normal way, you definitely wouldn't give me a chance to speak."

Doctor Octopus said "oh" and asked strangely:

"Who recommended you to find me?"

Fang Senyan said with a wry smile:

"It seems we've attracted a lot of onlookers. To prevent you from being suspicious, Doctor, I can follow you, right?"

Their perverted battle had already attracted many onlookers. If this wasn't a black market area deliberately left by the government, the police cars would have already arrived, sirens blaring.

It must be admitted that Doctor Octopus's curiosity had been successfully aroused by Fang Senyan at this time. He looked at Fang Senyan and smiled, saying:

"You want to follow me, you can! But you must be caught by my mechanical arm."

Fang Senyan shrugged, sighed, and said:

"No problem. Killing me won't benefit you in the slightest, but keeping me will push your scientific experiments to a new peak."

Two of Doctor Octopus's mechanical arms stretched out directly to grab Fang Senyan, and pinched Fang Senyan's head threateningly, seemingly capable of easily crushing Fang Senyan's head. But if Fang Senyan was so fragile, he wouldn't have gotten to where he was now.

If it were any other villain, Fang Senyan would definitely not be so careless, but for Doctor Octopus, a fanatical and obsessive scientific researcher, killing was definitely not his hobby. Especially when killing conflicted with his hobby, Fang Senyan could almost be sure that he would choose science.

To Fang Senyan's surprise, after Doctor Octopus took him into the car, he actually took him to an abandoned factory in the suburbs. Near New York, there were hundreds of satellite city areas, with things similar to economic development zones, and unfinished projects as well. This abandoned factory was obviously in such an unfinished development zone. The concrete road they drove on was cracked, and weeds grew wildly on both sides, almost reaching the drainage ditches on both sides.

Obviously, Doctor Octopus had set up his temporary scientific research institute here. He casually dragged Fang Senyan into a dilapidated office next to him, and then impatiently said:

"Now can you tell me your intentions? My time is tight."

Fang Senyan nodded, took out a device Professor X had given him, and placed it on the table. Immediately, a very primitive video communication screen appeared. Professor X's illusion nodded to Doctor Octopus and said:

"Hi, Otto, long time no see."

Doctor Octopus glanced at Fang Senyan and sneered:

"The others are afraid of your mind control, but I'm not."

Doctor Octopus was telling the truth. His four mechanical arms all possessed powerful artificial intelligence, and at one point almost took over as the dominant personality. Professor X's mind control might be useful for humans, but it was a very awkward existence for artificial intelligence. Professor X said seriously to Doctor Octopus:

"Now is not the time to dwell on past grievances, do you know? Our world is about to be destroyed."

Doctor Octopus immediately burst into laughter, then wiping away tears, he said:

"I didn't expect you to believe those ridiculous rumors."

Professor X said solemnly:

"I have confirmed it, it's not a ridiculous rumor, it's a fact, an ironclad fact, Otto, do you think I'm a person who speaks nonsense or fabricates stories? Or, do you think that Magneto and I, two old guys, have suddenly gone senile?"

The camera in the image zoomed out, and it could be seen that Magneto was sitting on Professor X's sofa with a frown, looking at a series of video materials brought by Fang Senyan. After seeing Doctor Octopus, the latter said coldly:

"I don't know if these things they brought are true or false, but I can clearly tell you that since 2008 AD, the speed of changes in the Earth's magnetic field has increased a thousandfold. According to my estimation and calculation, in less than a month, this rate of change will reach its peak."

Doctor Octopus's smile finally froze on his face. At this time, Fang Senyan timely presented the relevant information he had brought. After reading it, Professor X said seriously:

"To be honest, Otto, I don't like you very much. In my heart, Tony Stark should be the chief leader, but Mr. Seaman speaks highly of you, so I am willing to entrust the responsibility of presiding over, no, I should entrust the lives of me and my students into your hands. If you don't believe this, quickly decline, our time is very precious now."

In fact, Doctor Octopus had a catchphrase that could very well describe his personality. When his wife advised him to rest, Doctor Octopus would always say:

"Did Edison sleep before he invented the light bulb? Did Marconi sleep before he invented the radio? Did Beethoven rest before he wrote the Fifth Symphony?..."

That intense pride and frenzied personality immediately jumped out.

Hearing Professor X's words, Doctor Octopus's thick black eyebrows immediately stood up. He slapped the table with his palm and roared angrily:

"How could that bastard Tony Stark be compared to me! The great Doctor Otto Gunther Octavius! You short-sighted fellow!"

Professor X shrugged and spread his hands:

"The thing that Stark Tony likes to do the most is to shut others up with facts."

Doctor Octopus's anger erupted, and his mechanical arm smashed directly onto the communication device, smashing it into a pile of scrap metal, but he suddenly calmed down and looked at Fang Senyan:

"Wait, if what you said about the government building Noah's Ark is true, then I know someone who must have bought a ticket. I want to verify it with him."
