Chapter 16: The oppressive feeling from the superior predator!
However, Peter quickly put the size issue out of his mind and eagerly took out the red and blue battle suit from the closet.
So what if it's small? Nobody can see it anyway. But a cool battle suit is something you can wear for a lifetime!
Peter then performed a banana greeting for Toby on the spot, pulling his clothes down to just his underwear before putting on his battle suit.
He and Toby grew up together naked since they were little, so of course he wasn't embarrassed at all.
Once Peter put on the Spider-Man suit, a brand-new Spider-Man appeared before Toby looking radiant!
Peter, hands on his hips, eagerly asked Toby, "How do I look? Do I look handsome in it?"
Toby stroked his chin, looking Peter up and down in his Spider-Man suit, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Tsk tsk, cool! This suit really suits you best..."
"Of course, you can't wear them either!" Peter nodded matter-of-factly, unaware that Toby didn't mean it literally.
This is not only because Peter's suit is a classic style, but also because Toby's demeanor is fundamentally different from Peter's after he puts on the suit.
Peter exudes a sense of security and warmth at first glance.
When Toby puts on his suit, he exudes an invisible sense of pressure and danger even without saying a word.
For example, when Peter puts on his suit, he looks like the kind superhero who would help an old lady cross the street.
But when Toby put on his battle suit, he just looked like a super bully who would throw dust in other people's eyes!
And that is indeed the case...
However, Peter was unaware that he had misunderstood; he was currently immersed in experiencing the wonders of the Spider-Man suit he was wearing.
That's right, Peter's Spider Suit is actually the same as Toby's third suit, only the pattern and color are different.
This is another high-tech suit that Toby spent tens of millions of dollars to customize for Peter.
With Peter's intelligence, he quickly figured out most of the suit's functions without Toby's much explanation.
While Peter familiarized himself with the suit's functions, Toby opened window number three and changed into his black and red suit.
The moment Toby pulled the hood of his suit down completely to cover his face, Peter, who had just been getting used to his suit, suddenly became like a cat with its fur standing on end!
After instinctively taking a few quick steps back, Peter slightly bent down, adopting a wary posture!
This had nothing to do with Peter's own will; it was entirely due to Peter's body's autonomous defense mechanism being activated—it was all a subconscious action!
Before his consciousness could catch up with his body, Peter instinctively looked toward the source of the inexplicable sense of danger emanating from his body, only to discover that the source was none other than Toby, who had just put on the number three suit!
And whether it was just his imagination or not, in Peter's eyes, Toby, who was wearing the black and red battle suit, appeared even taller than before, and there was an even larger black, red and blue spider faintly visible behind him!
"Hmm? Peter, what's wrong?"
It wasn't until Toby noticed something was wrong with Peter and took off the hood again that Peter saw that familiar face, and the sense of danger that made his skin crawl, gradually subsided!
Toby, of course, immediately understood what was going on with Peter's reaction.
Because he himself also possesses that spider-sense, which allows him to foresee danger!
But what he didn't understand was that he had only put on the battle suit and had no intention of killing or attacking Peter!
How did Peter's spider sense activate on its own?
Forget about any special connection between Spider-Men; Peter's situation clearly doesn't involve any special connection between Spider-Men.
Peter's behavior clearly demonstrates predator-like danger perception!
Peter took a while to recover, then took off his hood, panting heavily, and explained with lingering fear:
"I...I don't know either. I just suddenly felt a strong, inexplicable sense of danger, and I instinctively looked towards the source of the danger. I never expected that the source of that danger was you, and you gave me a strong feeling of oppression from a superior to a subordinate!"
"And...and I vaguely think I also saw...a spider behind you, a huge tricolor spider!"
Upon hearing this, Toby's eyes narrowed, as if deep in thought.
Tricolor spider?
Isn't that the spider that poisoned me in my past life and seemingly gave me Spider-Man abilities after I transmigrated?
He always thought that his Spider-Man abilities were all the abilities that the spider had given him.
But now it seems that the spider isn't so simple after all...
Moreover, it would have been better if Peter hadn't said anything. But the moment Peter said that, Peter seemed to have a sense of oppression from a superior to a subordinate. Why does Peter now seem a little "appetizing" to him?
Of course, it wasn't about the food's deliciousness, nor was it about the sex's deliciousness; it was about the feeling of wanting to trample Peter underfoot!
And now he also has a special feeling similar to spider-sense, as if as long as he defeats Peter and tramples him underfoot, he can get something from Peter!
Toby is not one to guess; if he has a feeling, he will usually test it on the spot.
So he twisted his neck and grinned at Peter:
"Peter, you now possess strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, but it won't do if your mindset remains as fragile as before..."
"Therefore, you need to develop the corresponding resilience to remain calm and composed when facing any formidable opponent!"
Peter looked at Toby, whose smile seemed somewhat sinister to him.
His inexplicable sense of danger was flaring up again, and a sense of foreboding crept into his heart. He swallowed hard and asked Toby:
"What kind of resilience do I need? What should I do?"
Toby clenched his fist and slowly walked towards Peter: "Is there even a question? Of course, it's real combat! Nothing helps you grow better than personally experiencing the pressure of a powerful opponent!"
As Toby finished speaking, Peter's heart pounded faster and faster, and that familiar sense of danger surged up within him!
He immediately realized that Toby wasn't joking with him; he was serious!
But what a joke!
He really didn't want to fight his cousin, that monster!
He's just a newbie warrior who just left the starting village, why does he have to face his cousin, this great demon king, now?!
So Peter decisively turned around and ran, dashing out from the second basement level with a speed and agility that even he himself could hardly believe, and returned to the gym on the first basement level.
