Williamsburg Bank Tower.

Ben and Gwen sat on the rock face at the top of the building, but they were both upside down with their hair hanging down.

It's very quiet here.

Gwen said.

In her eyes, the upside-down city was like a silhouette of the night, beneath the misty clouds, like a city in the sky.

This sight reminded Gwen of a few days earlier, when she had just arrived in this universe and was with Ben at an altitude of 10,000 meters, as if they were about to fall from the world.

"After all, this is the tallest place in New York, apart from a few buildings in Manhattan."

"Ben replied."

Here, the entire New York is laid out before you, and the city's hustle and bustle seems to be from another world, completely inaudible.

The flashing lights of those passing cars looked as tiny as ants crawling on the earth.

Looking at the city before her, Gwen for some reason.

Kingpin will begin her operation tomorrow. Once the Particle Collider is activated, the time loop will be complete, and she will return to her own world. The experiences of the past few days will fade away like a dream.

Thinking of this, the emptiness in Gwen's heart spread like the darkness of the city.

"Tomorrow..."

She curled up, her slender arms hugging her bent legs, her cheeks buried between her thighs, and said with a forlorn expression.

We'll be saying goodbye tomorrow.

"What, you can't bear to part with it?"

Seeing her expression, Ben asked with a smile.

Gwen clearly considered this separation as a final farewell; after all, separated by Infinity Multiverse, their distance was more than life and death.

However, Ben had already analyzed the principles of Particle Collider, so building a machine capable of traversing the Multiverse was not impossible.

Not to mention, in the futuristic city of 2099, there is already an organization composed of many Spider-Man.

Therefore, this was never a final farewell.

Gwen wasn't aware of this; she just felt that after tomorrow, she would be back to being all alone.

With no one to confide in and no one to fight alongside, she was like a ghost, utterly alone and helpless in the vast city.

That's why Ben's appearance was like a ray of light piercing through the gloom that shrouded her heart.

She has been feeling particularly relaxed these past few days, as if all the heavy burdens of the past have been lifted off her shoulders.

Countless nights, she dreamt of Peter's corpse, now Lizard Man, lying in her arms, her hands stained with blood...

And here, when he's with Ben, it's as if he has a special magic that allows him to calm down.

Those nightmares that had caused her so much pain seemed to have completely disappeared.

Ben noticed Gwen's mood.

So he reached out and stroked Gwen's hair.

Gwen seemed startled by Ben's actions, as if she had been electrocuted.

But mostly, it was shyness.

After all, she had never been touched on the head so affectionately by a boy before.

This feeling...

Not only did she not dislike it, but it also calmed Gwen's somewhat uneasy and sad heart considerably.

She exhaled, burying her face, flushed with shyness, even deeper, but did not pull away from Ben's hand. Instead, she silently felt the warmth of his palm, her mind in turmoil.

Gwen is actually about the same age as Ben, just a high school student.

She used to be a model student at school, and George Stacy was very strict with her, so she never dated.

Needless to say, after becoming Spider-Man...

Even his own life is a mess.

If it weren't for Spider-Man's hectic lifestyle that numbed her, Peter's death, the estrangement from her father...

Countless pains had long since broken her.

But here, she doesn't have to think about anything.

Gwen sighed softly.

If only this moment could be stretched Infinity long, like Silk's thread.

Gwen thought.

They sat there quietly, until they both became like the gargoyles atop the Williamsburg Bank Tower, watching the sun rise over Queens and set on Staten Island every day.

It's a pity.

Time does not stand Eternity at any given moment.

After the sun rose and set again, the two figures huddled together were no longer there beside the stone beast sculpture of the Williamsburg Bank Tower.

The next night.

Beneath Brooklyn.

Ben, Gwen, and Peter all changed into their battle suits.

Virtual images of Kingpin and others were projected using the monitors left by Ben.

Separated by the thick walls, no one noticed the three of them gathered there.

Gwen had buried all her emotions deep inside, and at this moment she showed no signs of anything amiss. Instead, she was quite surprised by the appearance of the villains that Kingpin gathered.

"Do all the Green Goblin in your universe look like this?"

"Is there a problem?" Peter scratched his head and looked at Ben.

In his opinion, there's nothing wrong with how the Green Goblin looks.

Ben scratched his head. "Don't look at me like that. There's no Green Goblin in my universe. I cured Norman, and now he's the director of H.A.M.M.E.R..."

The two of them turned to look at each other simultaneously.

"Is there anything you can't do?" Peter asked enviously.

In this universe, he was originally very close to the Osborn family, but fate made them enemies.

Bant said, "I also cured Dr. Connors the Lizard, and now he and Dr. Otto are both doing research at my company."

Peter:???

Gwen:???

"You actually managed to handle that crazy woman?"

"How did you make the antidote for the Lizard Serum?"

For Gwen, Peter Lizard Man is a permanent scar in her heart.

She couldn't help but think that if she had been able to develop the serum back then, perhaps Peter wouldn't have died.

Knowing this, Ben answered Gwen's question first.

"I'll send you a copy of the serum's components later, but it's hard to say whether it will relapse," Ben explained. "The Lizard Man mutation isn't just a result of the drug, but also Totem."

He patted Gwen on the back and comforted her, "So it wasn't your fault."

Then Ben looked at the Blonde Peter and said, "In my universe, Doctor Otto isn't a woman, and he's a nice guy."

After he finished speaking, both the Blonde Peter and Gwen looked at him with envy.

"However, I also have a lot of troubles."

He said, "For example, there's a mad scientist who thinks New York is too urbanized and plans to turn the whole world back to prehistoric times; Purple Potato who plans to wipe out half of all life in the universe; and a smelly squid that's obsessed with my watch..."

???

After hearing this, Gwen and Peter immediately said they were no longer envious.

Compared to the guys in the Ben Universe, the enemies they faced weren't that great.

The group looked at the screen again.

The giant Particle Collider is very similar in shape to the Arc Reactor, except that it is tens of meters tall and produces enough energy to tear apart the Multiverse.

Looking at the enormous machine, Kingpin's eyes gradually brightened Kingpin through the high-strength explosion-proof glass.

"Vanessa, Richard..."

He murmured the names of his wife and children, tears welling in his eyes.

Who would have thought that this Underground Emperor of New York City would care so much about his wife and son?

Beside him, Doctor Octopus of this universe stared intently at the various data on the computer screen, and said in surprise, "This time, Spider-Man didn't actually come out to cause trouble."

It's worth noting that several collision experiments have resulted in unusual earthquakes and power outages in Brooklyn.

She was told that Spider-Man had started investigating the matter a few days earlier, but for some reason, nothing happened afterward.

"Maybe he didn't find it."

The Prowler not far away waved his hand.

When Rhino and Scorpion heard them talking about Spider-Man, whom they hated the most, they couldn't help but want to say something. However, before they could open their mouths, Kingpin slammed his cane Kingpin onto the ground.

"Clatter!"

"I don't care about Spider-Man," Kingpin said Bingbing. "If he dares to come, I'm sure you'll all kill him."

His gaze swept over everyone present.

Doctor Octopus, Prowler, Rhino, Lizard, Green Goblin...

With so many people involved, if Spider-Man can still ruin his plans, then these useless people are just expendable.

"Don't worry, Kingpin, you're not the only one who wants to get rid of Spider-Man!"

Green Goblin, even taller than a rockery, descended.

His enormous size prevented him from even fitting into the protective chamber; instead, he was directly exposed outside the massive Particle Collider.

In reality, as long as he doesn't directly face the impact of Particle Collider, Green Goblin Norman isn't really afraid of anything.

Kingpin looked at the villains and felt somewhat relieved, but still said, "I don't care what happens to Spider-Man, I just want to make sure tonight's experiment goes smoothly!"

Otto, don't let me down!

Kingpin said coldly.

In previous experiments, the Particle Collider was clearly not mature enough, so it had to be discontinued. After that, Doctor Octopus continued to improve the collider at Alchemy Company.

Today, he's determined to bring his wife and son home no matter what!

Kingpin thought to himself.

Even if it means the entirety of Brooklyn is destroyed in a spacetime collision, I'd be willing to do it!

"What a crazy guy."

Gwen hadn't had much interaction with Kingpin, and seeing Kingpin so insane made her heart pound with fear.

"Put on your mask."

Peter said something.

Because in the footage, Kingpin has already ordered the Particle Collider be activated.

"It will take a few minutes for the machine to fully boot up. Remember, you must wait until it is fully booted up and the Multiverse begin to collide before turning it off."

Ben offered a reminder.

"Understood." Gwen nodded.

Then, as if remembering something, she looked at Ben.

"What's wrong?" Ben asked back.

"What happened to the shared body suit?" Gwen put her hands on her hips, waiting for Ben to keep his promise.

I'd completely forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it.

Hearing this, Ben laughed, his gaze towards Gwen becoming playful. He placed one hand on the Little Broken Watch and asked mischievously:

"Ready to be possessed?"

"Ah, possession?"

Before Gwen could react, a flash of green light appeared, followed by Ben transforming into a large, black, viscous mass that lunged at Gwen.

"Wait, wait a minute... um..."

Gwen then realized what exactly Symbiote was.

These viscous substances, resembling the monstrous slimes from certain R-rated comics, sent a chill down Gwen's spine.

She vaguely remembered that if things continued as they were in those comics, these things would come in and out of her seven times, attacking her from three directions simultaneously, until she would stick out her tongue and roll her eyes...

Don't do that!

Gwen was torn apart internally.

But it was too late to struggle now, because Ben had already seeped into every inch of Gwen's skin, clinging tightly to her entire body.

In an instant, the cute pink and white Ghost-Spider disappeared, and what appeared before Peter was a slender figure radiating black and green energy.

Super-Kill Gwen.

Or, it could be called the Nightmare Ghost Spider.

To be honest, he's really handsome!

However, Gwen inside the suit was having a tough time.

"Benny!!!"

At this moment, Gwen's face was flushed with embarrassment.

"You, you, you, you..."

She never dreamed that Ben's so-called Symbiote suit was actually him turning into Symbiote and then wearing it.

Feeling the cool, silky texture of the suit against her skin, Gwen always felt as if Ben was enveloping her from head to toe.

Even places like that...

Thinking about this, Gwen wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

What's the difference between this and your crush seeing you running around naked?!

Not only Gwen, but even Peter was stunned by Ben's move.

"Although I know about the Symbiote suit, it's a bit... a shame that you yourself have become Symbiote."

Ben, now transformed into Super-Kill, sprouted a Venom -looking head from Gwen's shoulder and said:

"Just tell me, is it Symbiote or not?"

"Besides, Gwen, didn't you say you wanted the Symbiote Suit? Or did you say you didn't want it anymore?"

Ben had only meant to tease Gwen, and seeing Gwen shy and frightened expression, he felt he had achieved his goal and was ready to stop.

"Since you can't accept it, then I'll just change back."

As he spoke, the black substance began to slowly fade away.

But just as Ben began to back away, Gwen suddenly spoke up, "Wait..."

"Um?"

"No, there's no need to change back..."

Gwen's voice was like a mosquito's buzz.

The thought that she would be separated from Ben forever after it was over made Gwen's originally timid heart become brave as if she had been given a drug.

It wasn't just brave, it was even tinged with a bit of madness.

"If parting is inevitable, then at least in the final moments, leave a lasting impression on the other person!"

Holding this in mind.

Gwen not only did not refuse Ben's Symbiote suit, but also boldly took back her original Nano Battle Suit.

In other words, she now has nothing left except Ben.

Now, it was Ben was starting to feel the strain.

No, buddy?

If you're going to withdraw your battle suit, at least leave a close-fitting garment inside.

It's all damp now, and it smells bad!

Gwen remained silent. She patted her cheeks, then took a deep breath and said:

Let's go!

"I will attack in Ben form!"
