Chapter 357 The Day of Destruction
In 2099, Spider-Man Miguel O'Hara, along with the other Spider-Lens, escorted Fiora, a Kryptonian of similar origin to Superman, to the Lens' base. There, they saw a long-lost figure and heard his usual noisy chatter, just like the other Spider-Men.
"To all you Peter Parkers and all the other Parkers who aren't Peter, I'm back!"
It's Spider-Man, the original Peter Parker from this universe, a teenager who has only recently become Spider-Man and is currently still in high school.
The fact that the other person's age was specifically mentioned doesn't mean Spider-Man has any issues with children. Anyway, most Peter Parkers, regardless of their age, almost all experience a sharp drop in IQ when they get together, and their personalities become as unruly as teenagers.
Miguel was just thinking that sending such a young child to another universe to maintain security and support construction was like asking if Superman and Batman had been using child labor all along.
Miguel, who had inexplicably started to have wild thoughts, felt an unusual unease.
Unlike most other Spider-Men, he doesn't have the ability to sense spiders and doesn't realize that this inexplicable restlessness might be a sign that his abilities are beginning to awaken.
What triggered his awakening of his abilities was none other than the appearance of the little spider.
At this moment, the other party, who had been away for some time, was exchanging information with various Spider-Men and discussing things they had missed.
Upon hearing the news that Corey (Starfire) had been captured, Spider-Man's eyes suddenly swelled several times in size:
"OMG, how's Superman? Is he alright?"
Unlike Spider-Man from other universes, the Spider-Man in this universe was saved by Superman and Starfire when he was attacked by Moron, so he certainly knows what Starfire means to Superman.
"I can't imagine how much Superman must be going through right now, if this happened to Gwen—"
After Spider-Man awakens his powers, his relationship with Gwen Stacy progresses rapidly at school. Before he uses Stark Industries' name to "go on study tours," the two of them would basically walk home hand in hand after school.
Put yourself in Gwen's shoes. If Gwen were kidnapped, how many of the Spider-Men could remain so calm, let alone him?
"—"
"——"
As the topic came to this point, more than 80% of the Peter Parkers present were visibly somber, and the scene fell into a deathly silence.
"If you can't speak, you don't have to."
Miguel pressed down on Spider-Man's shoulder, and the ghostly spider mask startled him again. This kid really knew how to bring up the most sensitive topics.
"Not every Spider-Man is as lucky as you."
If we were to choose the happiest Spider-Man universe, Spider-Man's current universe would definitely be one of the top contenders.
His heroic career had only just begun when Superman easily swept away most of the obstacles, not to mention that the entire Spider-Lantern Corps was now located in this universe, protecting his secret identity beneath the mask.
Uncle Ben, Aunt May, Gwen, and even the MJ they never met are all safe and sound. Spider-Man, who has never experienced loss, has only lost his ordinary life.
Mentioning their families, the Spider-Men's expressions darkened, but most quickly banished the negative shadows of the past:
"Yes, Parker, you've been gone for so long, and the cover Mr. Stark has been giving you is almost impossible to hide from me anymore. Go home and check on things first, why come here?"
Most Parkers don't have the same conditions as Spider-Man. This kid shouldn't always be so ungrateful for his good fortune!
"Ah! That's right!" Spider-Man slapped his forehead, finally remembering why he was there: "Can anyone contact Iron Man or Superman? Or even the really fierce Batman?"
It's all Peter Parker's fault, except for me. They kept talking and talking, which almost made me forget the important thing!
Spider-Man was originally using the Green Lantern Ring in the universe of the cyborg Iron Man to help out in any way he could in that universe that had just been ravaged by Doctor Doom. Until today, "that cyborg Tony Stark with the face of a villain gave me coordinates outside the atmosphere and asked me to investigate the spatial anomalies coming from there."
The investigation yielded no results, but an unexpected incident occurred on the return trip.
"After I flew back to Earth from outside the atmosphere, for some reason, I returned to our Earth. Does anyone know why?"
Meanwhile, Tony, mid-air above Earth, stared into the eyes of his previous mechanical self, who had arrived through a portal and was sharing his perspective on the matter:
"The space between our two universes is gradually merging, and the point of intersection is Earth. Now, a portion of extraterrestrial space outside our two Earths is clearly showing signs of spatial folding, which is why Spider-Man suddenly returned to your universe from mine without any equipment—"
"Hiss!" Tony gasped as he realized what had happened, a chill running from his heels straight to his head.
He was originally going to Stark Tower to retrieve equipment, intending to work with Dr. Banner to build a device that could track the Cosmic Cube in order to deal with the impending collision crisis.
No one expected this crisis to come so quickly, or in this form.
Before he could even hear what his other self was thinking, he let out a sharp crack and went back to find Joey:
"We're in trouble!"
"So you're saying you already knew about this?"
"Don't give me that 'why didn't you tell me sooner' look! We only found out a few hours ago!"
The cyborg Tony's questioning was completely ineffective for the thick-skinned Tony, especially since the matter wasn't really on their side; they were already busy enough every day.
"If Hydra within S.H.I.E.L.D. hadn't caused trouble, we might have been able to exchange information sooner!"
"Hydra inside S.H.I.E.L.D.? Hmph! It's clearly just a tiny fraction of S.H.I.E.L.D. within Hydra!"
The cyborg Tony snorted: "You guys can handle Ultron and Doctor Doom, yet you're being held back by S.H.I.E.L.D."
If you ask me, just throw those people into the negative space or kill them all. Anyway, knowing S.H.I.E.L.D.'s style, even if you shoot nine out of ten of these agents, there will still be some who escape!
"Don't get off-topic! Aren't we here to discuss the crisis of collisions in a flat universe?"
Having just finished arranging how to find the gems, Joey was thinking she had found a way out, but now her head was spinning.
Currently, the two universes have begun to converge, but they haven't yet come close enough for the two Earths at the point of convergence to visually see each other. However, this situation won't last long; soon, the collision will begin on Earth.
"Based on what I understand, if a collision crisis occurs, both sides may only have 8 to 12 hours to react. If the collision issue cannot be resolved before then—"
Joey didn't finish his sentence, but all three of them knew what was going to happen next.
Since Doctor Doom was imprisoned in Dormammu's Dark Realm, countless parallel universes have become orderly from chaos. At the time, everyone thought it was because the disturbances on the timeline by Doctor Doom or Ultron were eliminated.
Now it seems there is another explanation: some unknown force sorted them in pairs, and then destruction followed.
"We all thought that future version of Tony, the Doctor Doom, was a psychopathic killer and a madman."
The cyborg Iron Man from another universe broke the silence, his already grotesque and sinister face, already deformed by his mechanical modifications, becoming even more unsightly:
"Now it seems that he was the one who understood."
The atmosphere between the three of them inexplicably began to become strange, and an inexplicable hostility began to spread.
"This is Batman."
This shift in atmosphere was interrupted by Batman's communication, but instead of good news, the other party brought even worse news:
"The Spider-Green Lantern Corps is in trouble."
