"This guy... is actually so wholesome?"

At that moment, hearing Superman praise them as the true heroes, many people present could not help but feel warmth in their hearts.

Only a flicker of doubt passed across Nick Fury's calm face.

According to the information he possessed, Superman was not this friendly.

After all, even now, not a single one of those missing scientists had returned home.

Boom!

Just as almost everyone was gazing at Peter with admiration.

A tremendous crash shattered the calm at the scene.

From the ruins of the building that had buried Thor, a figure suddenly leaped out with a thunderous roar and shot straight into the sky.

The already dense storm clouds overhead grew even heavier at that moment, completely blotting out the sunlight and preventing it from reaching the earth.

As though night had descended, an enormous shadow enveloped the entire land.

"Mr. Superman..."

Seeing Peter turn around and look toward the figure amid the dark clouds, seemingly about to meet him head-on.

Captain America suddenly spoke up behind him.

"Be careful!"

As Peter slowly turned his head, the captain spoke again, concern evident in his voice.

"Thanks. Take care of him."

Peter nodded in slight surprise, then spoke solemnly to Nick Fury and the others in the distance.

He then turned back around and looked toward the figure in the sky, where lightning was continuously gathering within the storm clouds.

"What's... going on?"

The next moment, Peter slowly rotated his palm and clenched it into a fist.

A strange fluctuation instantly radiated from his body.

Everyone saw tiny rocks and dust on the surrounding ground slowly rise into the air, gathering into a miniature whirlwind that revolved around Peter.

Bang!

A deafening explosion erupted, blasting away the dust circling Peter.

Spiderweb-like cracks spread across the hard ground as Peter shot straight into the clouds like a cannonball.

"You were right. The changes in this world have already surpassed anything I imagined!"

Looking up at the figure that had shot into the sky in an instant, Captain America slowly spoke to Nick Fury, who had come to stand beside him. His tone had yet to calm.

Meanwhile, inside the laboratory in the New York Suburbs.

Countless reporters and technology enthusiasts stared in utter shock at the sun-like "star" shining at the center of the laboratory.

At that moment, it seemed almost like a creation of God to them.

"Haha! I succeeded! I finally succeeded!"

Doctor Octopus's metal tentacles continuously circled the Miniature Sun, maintaining its stability, as he excitedly announced the success of his experiment to everyone present.

His overwhelming joy infected everyone around him.

Clap clap clap!

Including Doctor Otto's wife, everyone present could not help applauding him.

Only Gwen, who had already changed into her Spider-Suit in a corner where no one could see her, felt even more worried than before.

Because she saw that the still relatively stable Miniature Sun was constantly releasing streams of golden flames like solar storms.

"Hello, what did you say? Superman is at New York Plaza? And some guy calling himself Thor, the Thunder God, wants to challenge him? Fine, I'm on my way!"

Amid everyone's excited applause, an ill-timed voice suddenly rose.

Then, the reporter who had just hung up immediately left the laboratory with his team without hesitation.

"What? Superman versus the Thunder God? Is that true? I'm heading over right now. This is huge news!"

The reporter who had just left seemed like a signal. Within the next minute, nearly every reporter and media outlet received the news and immediately turned to leave.

In less than a minute, the previously bustling crowd had become nearly deserted.

Only a handful of people still had no idea what had happened.

"Eddie, you're not going? Everything about Superman is huge news right now. It could definitely make the newspaper's front page!"

"As for this experiment? Who's even going to care about it tomorrow?"

One reporter holding a camera seemed unmoved by everyone else and continued diligently recording the entire experiment.

Before leaving, his friend could not help reminding him.

"Forget it. Compared with Superman, I think this experiment has far greater epoch-making significance. If I don't stay here, I'll definitely regret it!"

The young reporter slowly shook his head and firmly rejected his friend's suggestion.

"Fine, suit yourself!"

His friend said no more and turned to leave. If he arrived late, he would not see anything at all.

"No, you can't leave! Why are you leaving? My experiment has succeeded! This is an epoch-making achievement. It could win me the next Nobel Prize!"

Watching countless people leave in such a short time, leaving behind only a sparse few, Doctor Octopus instantly became extremely agitated.

He had devoted more than a decade of painstaking research to completing his experiment today, before the witness of all the media and reporters.

Yet what stood before him was impossible for him to accept...

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

Suddenly, perhaps because his agitation had distracted him, his mechanical tentacles failed to repair an area of the Energy Shield that had been torn open by a "solar storm" in time.

The next moment, a strange gravitational force suddenly emanated from the "Miniature Sun" and instantly swept outward.

Along with the leaking energy, the incredibly sturdy laboratory seemed to be firmly grasped by an invisible giant hand.

Creak, creak!

The surrounding metal had begun to bend.

Crash!

The glass shattered immediately afterward.

Yet the shattered glass was pulled by the immense gravitational force, hurtling toward Doctor Otto's wife.

"Ah!"

In her panic, the woman could only cry out helplessly.

The next moment, a figure in a Spider-Suit suddenly descended from above, scooped up Doctor Otto's wife, and dodged the incoming glass shards.

"Doctor, it can't be controlled anymore! The experiment has failed! Shut it down now!"

After saving Doctor Otto's wife, Gwen anxiously shouted at Doctor Otto.

"No, the experiment hasn't failed! I can control it! I can definitely stabilize it!"

Yet at that moment, Doctor Otto seemed to have fallen into madness.

"No, your experiment was doomed to fail from the start. Your shield may have prevented all energy, including gravity, from leaking out, but as that immense energy continues to accumulate, the consequences will become even more severe."

"Hm?"

In the sky above Times Square, New York, Peter suddenly sensed an enormous source of energy appearing in the distance.

More importantly, this energy seemed to hold an inexplicable attraction for him!

"Could it be?"

Looking toward that familiar direction, Peter seemed to realize something instantly.

"You bastard! You dare get distracted while facing me!"

Seeing Peter, his opponent, actually turn his attention to something else, Thor instantly felt slighted and could not help roaring at Peter.

"Thor, the Thunder God, right? Then let's finish this quickly. I've got something to do later."

Pulling back his gaze, Peter looked calmly at Thor, the Thunder God, and urged him in a relaxed tone.

"Fine! Since you're so eager to be defeated by me, I'll grant your wish!"

How could the proud Thor not be angered by Peter's disdain?

He immediately gripped his hammer and prepared to charge at Peter.

"Wait..."

"What, are you scared? It's not too late to surrender now!"

Thor asked in confusion.

"Hey, does anyone have a music player? Play some hype BGM for me, thanks!"

However, Peter did not answer Thor. Instead, he shouted down at the people on the ground.

"Leave it to me!"

On the ground, a pretty girl from the S.H.I.E.L.D. group answered without hesitation.

She then took out her laptop and rapidly typed on the keyboard.

"Ah~ ah! Ah~ ah!"

In less than a dozen seconds, stirring music began blaring from the giant screens throughout Times Square!

"Is she a new recruit of yours?"

Nick Fury could not help turning to ask Coulson.

"That's right. Her name is Daisy, a genius hacker."

In the sky, listening to the music echoing across Times Square.

Peter's expression instantly froze.

"Fine, then I'll defeat you in your own BGM."

Peter looked at Thor as dazzling red light gathered in his eyes!
