Ghost Spider, Gwen Stacy

A few minutes later.

William Baker lay on the ground, staring blankly at the glowing streetlights.

Teacher Ma, what happened to your kidneys?

William Baker really wanted to ask that.

He had only wanted to steal a car and escape the heartbreaking city of New York, but before he could even utter a threat, the world spun around him, and the man in the car knocked him to the ground.

At that moment, Uncle Ben had already stepped on William's wrist, and even William's pistol fell into Uncle Ben's hands. With a flick of his wrists, the small pistol was instantly disassembled into a pile of parts, which fell all over the ground.

The technique was so skillful that it made William Baker's eyebrows twitch.

With immense strength and masterful skills, are you Captain America?

He really wanted to ask, is this still New York?

Since when did just any random person in New York have this kind of ability?

"I never expected to encounter a robbery in Queens!"

Aunt May stepped out of the car at a leisurely pace, frowned as she glanced at William, and shook her head repeatedly.

Uncle Ben isn't surprised.

"It shouldn't be in Queens, right? Hell's Kitchen is gone; the gangs there are spreading all over New York now."

Even so, most thugs didn't dare to cause trouble in Queens because Primus's security was too strong; it had already made a name for itself beforehand.

Unfortunately, William Baker had only recently been released from prison and was unaware of this matter.

And so, he failed.

Looking at William Baker's pained expression, Uncle Ben felt that he must have his own story and hardships, but no matter what, that was no excuse for doing evil.

If William Baker had met someone else tonight, it might have been a life lost.

At this moment, the people from the boxing ring and the police finally arrived.

After handing William Baker over to the police, Uncle Ben and Aunt May didn't pursue the matter further.

"It's you again, Flint Marko."

Inside the police car, the officers found William Baker's information in the files, but William hadn't yet had time to revert to his former identity.

"You were released from prison less than a day ago, and now you've committed robbery and attempted murder with a gun. This time you'll be locked up for at least a few years!"

Upon hearing this, William Baker paused. He said nothing, but his pained face lowered and disappeared into the darkness.

We have to find a way to escape!

He thought.

His daughter's illness couldn't wait any longer.

They've finally gotten out of prison, but what if they get locked up for several more years? How will they pay for medical expenses?

William Baker clenched his fist.

He glanced ahead at the unsuspecting police officer, steeled his resolve, and made a bold decision.

Leaving aside William Baker's actions...

In the future world of 2099, Spider-Man 2099, Miguel O'Hara is gazing upon this universe.

It's been broken again.

He said in a deep voice.

Miguel O'Hara was naturally referring to the Spider-Web Incident.

However, he was not the perpetrator of the Spider-Web Incident, but rather a victim.

Miguel O'Hara once tried to take the place of his deceased self in another universe, thinking that this would allow him to live a happy life.

His actions, however, shattered the Spider-Web Incident, causing that universe to completely collapse and be destroyed.

Since then, he has been atoning for his sins in order to maintain the balance of the Spider Multiverse and prevent the same thing from happening again.

To this end, he established a base in this universe, recruiting tens of thousands of Spider-Man, most of whom were Peter Parker, but there were also other Spider-Man.

He noticed this universe as different from other universes very early on.

Because in this universe, Peter Parker has an unusual cousin.

This has never happened in countless universes before.

In the past, Ben Parker's appearance did not seem to bring any changes to that universe, so Miguel gradually ignored the special circumstances of this universe.

It wasn't until recently, after Peter Parker finally became Spider-Man, that he remembered this universe and made an observation.

You won't believe it until you see it, and what you find will shock you.

When Miguel once again turned his attention to the universe where Ben was, Ben had already killed Dennis Carradine, who was the one who would have caused the Spider-Web Incident.

To Miguel's surprise, the universe did not collapse as a result.

"Could it be that someone else triggered the Spider-Web Incident?"

This puzzled Miguel, who continued to observe the universe in which Ben resided.

Until today, he saw Uncle Ben in danger once again. If the Spider-Web Incident had continued in the expected sequence, Uncle Ben would have been shot and bled to death.

No, there are two Spider-Man in that universe. Logically speaking, Uncle Ben and Aunt May should both be destined to die. Coincidentally, they were on the same car.

But the actual plot was quite the opposite.

Uncle Ben, injected with the Super Soldier Serum, subdued William Baker with one hand, rubbing the so-called Spider-Web Incident under his feet.

The person who started all of this was, of course, Ben Parker.

"Breaking the Spider-Web Incident was easy; any Spider-Man could do it with a little prompting," Miguel muttered to himself. "But why didn't his universe collapse because of it?"

"Ben Parker, what's so special about you?"

Miguel was completely baffled, so he decided to try to make contact with the other party.

However, before Miguel could take any action, another unexpected event occurred.

Let's return to the universe where Ben resides.

In Kamar-Taj, located in another time zone, it was still daytime. Ben was practicing his Energy of the Universe magic in the courtyard when suddenly, the space in front of him began to cave in, forming a dazzling spatial passage.

"This is?"

"It worked?"

Ben paused for a moment, but quickly shook his head.

Because he did not discover any new energy within his own body.

The origin of this spatial passage is clearly not simple.

It comes from the Multiverse.

The Ancient One was clearly alarmed as well.

A portal from the Multiverse has appeared in Kamar-Taj?

Ben's expression turned somewhat strange. He glanced at the Ancient One and added fuel to the fire, "Isn't this tantamount to provoking the Sorcerer Supreme and slapping you in the face?"

"You can tolerate this?"

"I couldn't stand it!"

However, the Ancient One remained calm, saying, "Occasionally, some people who don't understand the Multiverse will do such things, especially scientists. The Infinity possibilities of the Multiverse drive them to madness."

"However, this is an opportunity; traveling through the Multiverse will also help you cultivate your Energy of the Universe."

The meaning of "Ancient One" is quite clear.

She gestured for Ben to go inside.

"Really?"

Ben took a step toward the tunnel, half believing and half doubting.

Suddenly, a powerful suction force came, and the space-time tunnel seemed to be sucking Ben in like the eye of a storm.

However, thanks to biostatic electricity, Ben stood very steadily.

He thought the Ancient One was talking nonsense.

What is the relationship between cultivating Energy of the Universe and the Multiverse?

"I think you want me to work for you, right?"

Ancient One shook her head and said, "The Energy of the Universe is very high. If you want it to eventually become the Phoenix Force, Multiverse- level energy like Chaos Magic, then comprehending the Multiverse is indeed a good thing."

"Besides, this spacetime portal is indeed here to find you."

Within this short period of time, the Ancient One had already determined the origin of the time tunnel.

Hearing her say that, Ben didn't hesitate any longer and walked directly into the time tunnel.

He had a relatively good reputation with the Ancient One, after all, the old bald man had given him the Time Stone just a few days ago, and the Ancient One wanted Ben's Energy of the Universe, so there was no way he would let anything happen to him.

What greets the eye is a mesmerizing, dazzling sunset.

The instant he entered the time tunnel, Ben did indeed feel a special energy surrounding his body.

But before he could fully appreciate it, the passage had already come to an end.

"Splash splash splash--"

A tearing sound of wind rushed to his ears, Ben lost his footing, plummeting downwards.

The force of gravity was exceptionally strong at this moment, pulling Ben's body and dragging him down from a height of ten thousand meters, threatening to smash him into a pulp!

Ben looked down as the clouds swept past him and realized that he had somehow found himself back over New York.

Below him lay the brightly lit New York City.

As he fell, he shrugged and said, "I don't know why, but it doesn't seem strange to me at all."

"After all, where else besides peaceful New York would you encounter so much danger every day?"

Ben muttered a light complaint, realizing that the New York he was in was no longer the New York of his universe. After all, the New York of his universe was still under reconstruction and wouldn't be restored for at least a year.

"Let me see," Ben raised his watch, spun it around, and selected a hero, "Heatblast, Big Chill, Jetray, Stinkfly..."

Finally, the silhouette of the watch rotated into a heavy shadow.

"Gravattack?"

"Great, you're the one!"

Gravattack can control gravity and also resist Earth's gravity. Moreover, he has his own orbit and is Alien Hero capable of flight.

The important point is that Ben hasn't transformed into Gravattack yet!

Just as he was about to press the button on his watch, a clear voice suddenly came from above Ben's head.

"Hold on!"

"Huh?" Ben was taken aback, looked up, and saw a white and pink figure struggling to swoop down in the darkness.

"That's Spider-Gwen? I've arrived in the Spider- Gwen Spider-Man Universe?"

Gwen had no idea what Ben was thinking; to be honest, she didn't even know where she was.

Just minutes before, she was fighting criminals on the streets of New York when a portal appeared before her eyes, transporting her directly to this place.

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, the city below looks smaller than an ant.

Before Gwen could think, she spotted Ben falling straight down without any protection.

If that happens, will anything be left?

Seeing this, Gwen, who was about to open her hang glider, simply put her arms close to her thighs and swooped down towards Ben like a straight arrow.

"Open your body!"

Gwen yelled at Ben, but her voice was already gone.

She wasn't sure if her shouts would reach Ben's ears, but at their current rate of descent, Gwen couldn't guarantee she'd catch up with the man at a safe landing altitude.

She was extremely anxious, but the Silk she shot out, like her voice, was left far behind.

"No, the falling speed is too fast!"

"I can't save him!"

At this moment, they were being pulled by an acceleration of 9.8 meters per second. In just a few seconds, they had already fallen thousands of meters. If this continued, let alone rescuing others, even Gwen herself would not have enough time to slow down and would fall to her death!

Is giving up the only option?

Are we just supposed to watch that person fall to their death?

Just like Peter...

Gwen thought desperately.

Those painful memories that stung her surged into her mind again at this moment.

She had once watched her friend Peter Parker die in her arms like a monster, and she could do nothing about it.

And now, she has to helplessly watch an innocent person die.

That person was likely like her, someone who was caught up in that strange passage.

Gwen didn't know what the passage was, but if the enemy was coming for her, it meant that the person in front of her was likely an ordinary person she had dragged into danger.

If anything were to happen to him, it would be tantamount to killing him myself.

The speed of the fall increased, and the bustling and familiar New York City grew larger and larger in Gwen's eyes, Gwen more and more desperate.

She has long since missed the optimal deceleration distance, and even if she were to open her glider now, given her physical strength, she would probably break several bones.

What's even more despairing is that she still couldn't catch the falling person.

There was still a distance of several meters between the two people.

Although it may only be a few meters, in a fleeting moment, it can be the distance between life and death.

Gwen stretched out her hand with all her might, and the biostatic electricity between her palms even took shape.

They were like two shooting stars falling from the sky into the city, an endless chase, yet unable to get close.

It's impossible to catch!

Gwen knew this very well.

But she just didn't want to give up. She had already watched her best friend die before her eyes once, and she didn't want to see it happen a second time.

Even if she herself were to be shattered to pieces, Gwen would not give up.

This is Spider-Man.

Ever since Ben heard Gwen's voice, he wanted to see just how far she could go.

Although she still couldn't turn the tide, Gwen clearly lived up to the Spider-Man name.

At least in Ben's opinion, she did a much better job than he did.

If there's anyone among all the Spider-Man who doesn't deserve Spider-Man title, Ben thinks it's definitely himself.

This has nothing to do with strength or weakness, but rather with the kindness and dedication that Spider-Man represents.

only...

Ben glanced down; the city was already within reach.

"If this keeps up, he'll really fall to his death."

Ben pressed the button on his watch.

"Gravattack!"
