The flames triggered a chain reaction.

The entire factory was covered in sticky sap sprayed by Ben.

The moment the Pumpkin Bomb exploded was like throwing a fire into a barrel of dynamite.

In an instant--

Boom!!!

The entire factory was blown to bits!

Everything was engulfed by flames and intense heat.

Even the Rhino, who was originally outside Harry's attack range, was not spared and disappeared directly in the sea of fire.

The flames shot up to a height of tens of meters, resembling a tornado.

Now, the clueless New York Police finally knew where to go on patrol.

Several kilometers away from the factory, Ben flapped his wings and set Peter and Harry down.

If ten-year-old Ben Tennyson were to transform into Stinkfly, it would be quite difficult for him to carry two people, but he certainly wouldn't be able to fly very fast.

However, for Ben, who has merged with Spider-Man's powers, the weight of the two is almost zero.

"Stinkfly, requesting landing."

His wings, which had been vibrating rapidly, folded back, and the dead leaves from the trees beneath his feet scattered, forming a circle around them.

At this moment, the Little Broken Watch on the head also began to flash.

After a flash of green light, Ben transformed back to normal.

Peter and Harry tripped and fell as a result.

"Benny, it really is you!"

Even now, Harry still finds it hard to believe that Ben could turn into a giant worm.

He quickly stood up straight, wanting to get to the bottom of everything.

"What exactly is going on?"

"And you, Peter, you're Spider-Man! But you haven't told me for so long, that's so unfair!"

Harry was very angry.

You see, he had crafted a Green Goblin Armor for both of his friends, but they kept this crucial secret from him.

Actually, Harry could understand Ben.

After all, if his own Superpowers were to turn into a smelly, disgusting giant bug, he would definitely be ashamed to admit it.

But it's a bit much for Peter to keep it from me.

How?

Have you turned into Spider Monster too?

Harry desperately needs an explanation.

"Sorry, Harry, we didn't mean to keep it from you," Peter quickly said.

The deaths of several villains were inevitable. Although he felt that Harry and Ben shouldn't have done it, he wasn't saddened by the deaths of those scumbags.

"Peter is right, we really didn't mean to hide it from you."

Ben also said.

To be honest, the Osborn family treated Ben and Peter very well.

Harry and Peter's childhood friend have a relationship that has stood the test of time in many universes.

The reason they didn't tell Harry about Spider-Man was because they were worried it would cause Harry trouble.

Besides, both Ben and Peter now have Superpowers, which might make Harry feel resentful.

It's important to understand that because Norman had neglected Harry in the past, Harry's greatest fear was becoming mediocre.

In Toby Version's Spider-Man, Harry was also somewhat jealous of Peter because Peter was smarter and more favored by Norman.

However, now that Harry himself has chosen to become the Green Goblin and has armor, he has some fighting ability, so the two no longer need to hide it.

Just as Ben was about to continue, Harry reached out, pursed his lips, and with a heavy expression, patted Ben's shoulder, offering words of comfort:

I understand you, brother!

Ben:???

"What?"

"I understand. Isn't it because your Superpowers are a bit... pathetic that you don't want to reveal them to the public?" Harry racked his brains to think of a less offensive word.

I understand!

"Real!"

"And I think you don't need to be too sad. Becoming a giant bug can be pretty cool too. At least you can fly without Goblin Glider, and you can spray stuff without any special equipment, and in huge quantities..."

"Most importantly," he said, "You can turn back, which is much better than that Stromm Storm, who I heard died green."

In Harry's opinion, this was indeed the most important point.

If Ben transforms into that giant worm and can't turn back, that would be truly tragic.

Hearing this, Peter nodded in agreement. "If they can't change back, the girls at Midtown High School will be heartbroken."

However, both he and Ben clearly realized that Harry seemed to have misunderstood Ben's Superpowers.

But neither of them was in a hurry.

Because from now on, I'll be telling Harry what happened.

"Actually, I mutated and gained spider Superpowers because I was bitten by a spider in Osborn," Peter said succinctly.

Harry's mind immediately started racing.

"Osborn Corporation's Radioactive Spider? I remember there being many! If that's the case, doesn't that mean I can also gain spider abilities?"

He stood up abruptly, wishing he could immediately return to Osborn and let those spiders bite him ten or eight times.

Fortunately, Peter stopped him.

"Wait, this won't work."

"Those Mutant Spider can only alter my genes." Peter told Harry about the tricks his parents had played on him.

To be honest, Richard and Mary did something unethical in this matter.

Although the Half-Life Formula was a product of their research, the success of the research was inseparable from Osborn's substantial financial investment, and Connors, as a co-researcher, also contributed significantly.

Actually, Connors was a latecomer to the field.

He was originally a military doctor, but later switched to studying lizards.

However, Harry did not blame Peter or speak ill of Peter's parents because of this incident.

He just felt a little sorry.

They also understood why Connors' Lizard Serum had failed.

"Etc,"

Harry suddenly had a guess.

"Benny, your Superpowers isn't just a product of your failed attempt to research the half-decay formula, is it?"

"Oh dear, you're so foolish! How could you use yourself as an experiment?"

Given Connors's experience of using himself as a guinea pig, Harry felt that Ben was being a bit too reckless.

"Look, the experiment failed, and I've turned myself into this. I can change back, but I've lost the chance to have real spider Superpowers!"

Harry felt sorry for Ben.

Then, as if he had suddenly thought of something, he suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, if Peter's father was a match made using Peter's genes, then who is the other Spider-Man?"

Harry finally remembered that there wasn't actually only one Spider-Man.

Besides Peter, there's another Hacker Spider-Man.

You're not too stupid.

Seeing this, Ben was about to explain, but Harry raised his hand again, signaling Ben to speak.

Wait, let me guess.

He pinched his chin and lowered his head.

"The two Spider-Man know each other, right?"

Peter glanced at Ben and nodded. "Yes."

"So, what's your relationship like?" Harry asked again.

"What do you think? We're family!" Peter rolled his eyes. "Not just Spider Family, we're a real family."

He practically slapped the answer right in Harry's face.

"I see."

Harry also had his answer.

Peter nodded and said, "That's right, actually the other Spider-Man is..."

"It's Uncle Ben!"

Harry interrupted Peter loudly.

"What?"

Ben and Peter were both surprised.

They were all surprised that Harry would come to such an answer.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying the same message:

Is he really a genius?

"Am I wrong?"

Harry countered with a question.

Seeing that Peter and Ben looked upset, he gave examples to support his claim:

"Look, the two Spider-Man know each other, Peter and Uncle Ben know each other, so you're family; the Radioactive Spider can only be genetically compatible with you, but Uncle Ben is also from the Parker family, and his genes are very similar to yours."

In conclusion, Uncle Ben is another Spider-Man.

In Harry's mind, Hacker Spider-Man took off his mask, revealing Uncle Ben's face, which, though aged, still shone with a sharp edge.

"Spider Old Hero, so cool!"

He clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Do you guys think I could let my dad be the Green Goblin for a bit? Otherwise, what if people think I'm Stromm's son?"

It must be said that Harry's reasoning is actually quite reasonable.

"But have you considered Uncle Ben's size?" Peter asked tactfully.

And so, the image of Uncle Ben Spider-Man that Harry had conjured in his mind shattered instantly, replaced by a middle-aged, overweight man in a tight-fitting suit who was out of shape, not very tall, but had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar...

He shuddered and tried to banish the horrific image from his mind.

"But if the other Spider-Man isn't Uncle Ben, who could it be? It can't be Ben, can it? He's already a giant bug."

Ben: My fist is hard!

Why can't it be me?

Ben countered with a question.

"Is it really you?"

This only confused Harry more.

"But why? Could it be that you're Peter's father's illegitimate son? Are you two actually brothers?"

"That has to do with my other Superpowers," Ben said.

He planned to tell Harry his secret of being able to transform into Alien Hero, since once someone had seen it, it was impossible to hide it from them, and Harry was one of his own.

However, as for the fact that this ability actually comes from the watch, there's no need to elaborate further.

So far, the only people who know this secret are Peter, who helped Ben crack the watch, and Connors, who was just watching.

Of these two, Peter was someone Ben trusted implicitly, while Connors had a neurotoxin implanted in his body by Ben. In addition, Eunice was actually monitoring him as well.

"You can turn into an alien?"

Harry's expression after hearing this was one of utter disbelief.

"Forget it, you never make me jealous." He shook his head; the thought of the vast gap between himself and Ben made him lose even the feeling of jealousy.

However, upon hearing Ben say that he had cracked the Gene Lock problem of the half-decay formula, Harry also wanted to ask Ben if he had made the perfect Spider Serum or something.

"It's possible to do it, but it's best to avoid getting that stuff on your hands if possible."

Ben dismissed the idea.

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

Ben reassured Mary Jane and Felicia that they were safe and sound, and told them to contact the police so that he and Peter could return to Primus together after being rescued by Osborn's Son, Harry.

The current Primus is very different from the one before.

Huge skyscrapers were erected.

Instead of taking Harry to the top floor, Ben took the elevator down to the underground area.

"This basement is newly built by me. It has a very high level of security and can be used as our base in the future."

He snapped his fingers as he spoke.

In an instant, the entire underground space lit up, and rows of tubular cabins rose up. When they opened, they revealed all sorts of Spider Suit.

"We'll build you a new batch of battle suits then; the one you're wearing is way too low-tech."

Ben looked disgusted.

However, while the armor was cool, Harry was more attracted to the Superpowers.

"Spider Serum..."

"I told you, avoid this stuff if you can avoid it." Ben shook his head. "You two think Spider-Man's Superpowers come from genetic mutation, but that's not actually the case; it's a kind of mystical power."

"Mystical power? You mean magic?" Peter tilted his head.

"Does that mean I can cast a spell or shout 'Shazam' during battles in the future?"

"No, I meant the Spider Totem." Ben thought for a moment and realized that explaining it to them clearly was not an easy task.

So he changed the subject.

"This power of unknown origin is ultimately a hidden danger, and Peter and I can't change it now. But you don't need to be discouraged; there are always ways to gain Superpowers, such as the Super Soldier Serum."

With a wave of his hand, Ben instantly displayed numerous decomposition formulas on the computer screen.

Peter and Harry walked forward in surprise.

"You're also researching Super Soldier Serum?"

Super Soldier Serum, a drug that seems outdated in this day and age.

But in reality, the real effect of serum is never just about increasing strength, but also about slowing down aging.

Furthermore, it appears that the Super Soldier Serum is currently available in a version without side effects.

Isn't this much better than Lizard Serum?

Harry thought Ben's behavior was cool, but Peter was filled with worry.

"Benny, what do you want to do?"

To be honest, the secret research into Super Soldier Serum is clearly a US military operation.

Peter was genuinely worried that Ben go astray and become a villain.

What do I want to do?

Ben paused for a moment, then cleared his throat and, without hesitation, picked up a famous quote from a certain black hard-boiled egg:

"I have an idea: to bring together some talented people and see what we can achieve, so that when people need us... we can win battles they can't win."

"When Doctor Animo took over Stark Tower with his Mutation Device, I thought, Iron Man Super Hero is simply not enough for us."

"It won't work if the Super Hero fight alone; we must unite their strength, like the Five Fingers clenched tightly. Only then can we better fight evil."

"So...

Ben turned around, and a huge hourglass-shaped logo lit up behind him.

"I founded the Galactic Plumbers."
