Chapter 547

What kind of question is this? Are you sure you want to ask this kind of thing at this time?

Seeing Gwen Stacy's slightly displeased look, Su Quan changed the subject, took out a string of Void Battle Bead, and put them on her.

"What is this? You used it to call me before. Is it some kind of new type of mobile phone?"

"It's called the Void Battle Bead. It's a special communication tool and also a symbol of status."

"If every god has a name, then Lord of the Void is my god name. Wearing the Void Battle Bead means that you belong to Lord of the Void."

Su Quan introduced the various functions of the Void Battle Bead while teaching her step by step.

Gwen Stacy grasped it quickly, but she was completely bewildered!

It can enable communication across time and space, medical procedures that can treat various cancers, and a suit system that can customize Nanotech suit, etc.

You call this a special communication tool?

Aside from the Nanotech suit system, everything here—from cancer treatments to intertemporal communication—is nothing short of miraculous for humanity.

"Whoosh—"

A tight-fitting white and black uniform suddenly covered her entire body. Gwen Stacy looked at it carefully in surprise and quickly discovered that the uniform's design was full of spider-themed elements.

Recalling Su Quan's inopportune question about whether she liked spiders, Gwen Stacy had a vague guess.

Looking up at Su Quan, she asked directly, "Is my future related to spiders?"

Su Quan shook his head and said, "Your future is only related to me."

Gwen Stacy playfully retorted, "Can you be serious for once?"

Su Quan smiled and walked towards the edge of the rooftop wall, jumped up, sat down, and pulled Gwen Stacy up with him.

Gwen Stacy was a little scared and quickly sat down cross-legged.

"There are many versions of Gwen Stacy's story, I'll pick two to tell you."

"One version of Gwen Stacy was bitten by a Radioactive Spider. Regardless of where the spider came from, the Gwen Stacy gained spider abilities from then on."

"Super strength, super defense, super endurance, perfect balance, Spider-Sense that can sense danger, Organic Webbing that can be fired from the wrists, the ability to crawl on walls, and so on."

"That's how she became Spider-Woman, you know, the kind of superhero who fights evil and combats criminals."

"She has a friend, who is also her high school classmate, who is often bullied and suffers from bullying at school. After learning about Spider-Woman's identity and abilities, he wants to become as special as her."

"He developed a serum on his own, but the serum wasn't perfect, and he died in front of Spider-Woman."

"The police, unaware of the truth, mistook Spider-Woman for a murderer and issued a warrant for her arrest everywhere. Her father, Police Chief George Stacy, was determined to bring her down."

"Her life was a mess—her friend's death, societal misunderstandings, her father's hostility!"

"Later, she met several friends from Parallel World, Spider-Man- Women from Parallel World, and together they defeated the dark hand that was manipulating her fate."

"By the way, this Gwen Stacy joined a high school all-girls band as the drummer, and they even put on a concert that was forced to be canceled before it even started."

One speaks, the other listens.

The atmosphere was indescribably harmonious.

Seeing that Gwen Stacy didn't interrupt him, Su Quan smiled and began telling the second story.

"The second version of Gwen Stacy is a cheerful, generous, confident, and beautiful girl. She didn't become Spider-Woman after being bitten by a spider. Instead, one of her admirers became Spider-Man."

"Then..."

Su Quan stopped and waved towards the sky.

The points of light gathered together, forming a very realistic scene in the sky.

In the image, Gwen Stacy is covered in a Spider Silk, her body suspended in mid-air, with her hands and feet hanging unnaturally towards the ground.

She's dead!

The sight made Gwen Stacy's eyes widen, her breath catch in her throat, and an indescribable wave of pain and nausea surged through her, causing her to uncontrollably show a look of terror on her face and gasp for breath.

Die!

The death of 'oneself'!

Gwen Stacy, whose skin was already radiant, now had a chillingly pale complexion.

"This is me—this is me, isn't it?"

"This is my future, and also what you call regret?"

Gwen Stacy looked at Su Quan with eager eyes, believing that this second Gwen Stacy was herself!

Su Quan did not answer directly, but instead put it another way. "Every world has its own timeline. If anyone makes a choice that is different from the original timeline, it will create Time Branch, extending into another timeline that is different from the original timeline."

"This is the future of your original timeline, not the future of your current timeline!"

"Didn't I tell you? Your fate was rewritten the moment I appeared in your life."

Gwen Stacy took a deep breath, nodded, and asked, "This Spider-Man, did he kill me?"

"You died because of him."

"Who is he?"

"Peter Parker".

"Peter Parker —does this sound familiar?"

Gwen Stacy thought for a moment, and it seemed like she had heard the name at school, but she had no recollection of the person and couldn't make a connection.

"Was that friend who died in front of me in the first story... also him?"

"Um."

Gwen Stacy smiled. "It seems we get along quite well. No wonder I died because of him! But... why did you jump straight from the beginning to the end of this story? Are you jealous that we're together?"

"Or—are you worried?"

Su Quan remained silent, while Gwen Stacy chuckled and took his hand, "Didn't you say that my fate has been rewritten by you? For me now, the person I know is Su Quan, not Peter Parker."

"The story you just told me is really just a story to me, because it's not my experience at all."

"I was hit on by you at school, invited out in Professor Connors' office, carried you to the rooftop, and almost suffocated in your arms – that's my experience!"

"That was my first kiss!"

Su Quan smiled and grasped Gwen Stacy's hand in return. He wasn't worried about what Gwen Stacy would do after knowing the future; he simply didn't want to dwell on those useless details.

Because the focus of this version is on Gwen Stacy's death.

However, Gwen Stacy's reaction warmed Su Quan's heart, and he was moved.

This is the Gwen Stacy I've always chosen!

Su Quan certainly had the confidence to say that.

Because of others, he almost never firmly insisted on choosing a certain period or version, except for Gwen Stacy, the Gwen Stacy of this world, who was the one who did not waver in her choice even after Spider-Gwen appeared!

P. S.: As you all know, I'm single, so when I'm creating emotional and female characters, I tend to play to my strengths and avoid my weaknesses. My writing Gwen Stacy feel a bit smoother to write.

Perhaps it's because of Gwen Stacy, she truly is that unforgettable, lingering regret.

At the Osborn Tower, Su Quan and Gwen Stacy walked in chatting and laughing after their date. They were just talking about meaningless 'nonsense', but Gwen Stacy's smile was sweet, and she was radiant with happiness.

As the two walked toward the elevator, Su Quan caught a 'familiar' figure at the front desk out of the corner of his eye.

"Are you here for an internship?" the receptionist asked the young man at the counter.

Peter Parker paused for a moment, then hastily nodded, "Yes, that's right."

The receptionist, unsuspecting, casually reminded him, "Look for your name tag on your left," since a batch of interns were starting work that day.

Peter Parker looked to his left and saw name tags printed on them on the counter.

His name wasn't on any of those name tags because he wasn't an intern at Osborn Industries at all. He was there for one purpose only: to explore his parents' past and find Professor Curt Connors, his father's former colleague and business partner.

When the receptionist noticed he hadn't received a name tag, she asked, "Can't you find your name?"

Peter Parker nervously pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, about to grab any random identity to impersonate the other person, when he suddenly heard someone calling his name.

He turned his head at the sound and saw a man and a woman watching him from a short distance away.

The boy who called his name was an unfamiliar one, and the girl next to him looked somewhat familiar to him. Although he didn't know her name, he thought she was probably a classmate from the same school.

Peter Parker, his identity exposed, nodded sullenly to the receptionist and turned to walk away with a puzzled look on his face.

"Hi—who are you?" Peter Parker asked, looking at the two men with a puzzled expression.

"I am Su Quan, and this is Gwen Stacy." Su Quan looked him over with interest and said with a smile, "I am the head of Professor Curt Connors' experimental project. If you want to see him, I can take you there."

???

Peter Parker looked puzzled and asked instinctively, "How did you know I wanted to see Professor Connors?"

Su Quan said with a half-smile, "I know everything."
