Spider-Verse, Otto Parker's home base.

The cold, mechanical machine kept turning, monitoring all the special energies in the Multiverse.

The Spider-Man he had gathered here, having nothing to do, started chatting. Among them was Noir Spider-Man Ben and Gwen had met before.

"I wonder how that guy is doing?"

The Indian Spider-Man, speaking with a curry-accented English accent, combed his hair, which was exposed outside his mask. The Noir Spider-Man, shrouded in a black coat, stood silently in the shadows, fiddling with a small Tesseract in one hand; this was almost the only color on his body.

"I told you long ago, you should have taken us with you!"

The Assassin Spider-Man, who was a little further away, didn't speak very well, clearly disapproving of Otto Parker's autocratic behavior. However, most of the people present didn't say anything. They had all fought against Karn before, but none of them had fared well. If Otto Parker hadn't arrived in time, they would have been in danger long ago.

Just then, a portal suddenly opened beside them, and then a dark, tattered object, as if it had been bombed, was violently thrown in, startling everyone.

Otto Parker followed closely behind and walked out of the portal.

"Who is this guy?" The Punk Spider-Man in his cowboy outfit immediately recognized the dark-skinned figure, after all, the sturdy yellow helmet was just too conspicuous.

"You actually defeated him?"

Ben Riley was also very surprised.

"If you have such power, why didn't you deal with him sooner?"

The Assassin Spider-Man gave Otto Parker a strange look. Earlier in his universe, he had knocked Karn off a cliff and was even thinking of finishing him off, but Otto Parker stopped him, saying that falling off a cliff wouldn't have any effect on Karn, and that the two of them couldn't win.

"It wasn't me, you bastards!"

Otto Parker, his face dark, uttered those words with difficulty.

This is practically an admission of his own incompetence.

However, when he thought about Gwen's special nature, that she couldn't be viewed as an ordinary Spider-Man, and that her power wasn't even Spider-Man's power at all, he felt much better.

Regardless, even if he becomes Spider-Man, he must become the best Spider-Man to prove that he can do better than Otto Parker Peter Parker.

Let me introduce you to a new member.

He stepped aside, then backed one foot out of the portal, followed by an embarrassed girl's voice. "Okay, I understand, Dad. No, no, I don't want to bring a lunchbox. This isn't a picnic—"

Then the Spider-Man heard a muffled male voice coming from the other end of the portal. "Remember to be home before midnight, and don't hang out with shady men..."

"How is that possible!"

Gwen walked in backwards, followed by a tall man—but Chief Stacy only poked her head out before Gwen shoved it back in.

"Alright, Dad, you should go back now. Goodbye!"

The girl turned her head away, her face beneath the mask already flushed with embarrassment.

She fidgeted, explaining somewhat awkwardly, "That's my dad. He kind of... well, kind of treats me like a child."

Gwen?

Noir Spider-Man, standing in the shadows, immediately recognized Gwen; they had met briefly in Parallel Universe.

Although he didn't join the fight against the boss, he still heard about what happened and even met the powerful Hacker Spider-Man. If he was Hacker, then it seemed reasonable that he could defeat Karn.

"Hey! Noir Spider-Man, I didn't expect to run into you here."

Gwen greeted her happily.

Although it was only a brief encounter, seeing an acquaintance in such a place was still a happy thing for her.

"Me too. By the way, Hacker Spider-Man with you too? With him around, our chances of winning are definitely much higher."

"No, I haven't seen him yet." Gwen's expression darkened, but she quickly rallied, clenching her fist, and said, "But I think I'll see him soon."

One of the reasons she Otto Parker to come to the Multiverse was this.

Since the mountain won't come to me, I'll just walk towards it myself!

Noir Spider-Man was surprised. Since Ben Parker wasn't there, didn't that mean...?

"So, you're the Spider-Man who defeated this guy? I didn't know you were this amazing!"

Gwen was smug for a moment, and was about to say something when a tall shadow pushed past the Indian Spider-Man and walked over. He was deformed, with six arms, and looked like a Spider Monster. At this moment, he leaned down and looked at Gwen in a tone as if he were about to eat a child.

The Six-Armed Spider-Man took a step forward; he didn't think Gwen was that strong at all.

"Superior Spider-Man? Don't tell me the person who defeated this guy is this little girl who hasn't even grown her first hair yet?"

"Hey, what do you mean?!"

Gwen immediately became displeased, glaring at him and making a gesture of rolling up her sleeves. "Do you want to fight me?"

Noir Spider-Man, somewhat displeased, blocked Six-Armed Spider-Man, and the tension immediately escalated.

It's also Otto Parker's fault. Not only is he a nasty character, but the helpers he brought in are all villains. Assassin Spider-Man is basically the Judge version of Spider-Man, but compared to the others, he's already considered mild.

"If you don't want to get beaten to a pulp, you'd better not do it." Otto Parker didn't even look at them, directly picking up a suppression device and putting it on Karn, then added, "Also, I must remind you, her power might be the key to victory in this war."

"War? What war?"

The Indian Spider-Man scratched his head, puzzled, and asked, "Now that you've caught this guy, can't we go home? I was hoping to go on a date with Miss Mira this weekend."

"Don't be so naive, kid. How do you know he's alone or part of a gang?"

"That's what the Assassin Spider-Man said coldly."

He knew that Otto Parker, like himself, was an outlier among Spider-Man, and they wouldn't show mercy to villains.

Otto Parker didn't kill his opponent immediately, naturally in order to obtain more information, such as why the opponent was hunting Spider-Man in the Multiverse, how he was able to disable Spider-Man's Superpowers, and how many other people were committing similar evil deeds.

"Heh, don't expect to get any useful information from me." Half-dead but still conscious, Karn let out a cold laugh. "Don't think that defeating me guarantees victory. I'm just the weakest member of the family. My family members will avenge me. Besides, even if you kill me, it won't change anything."

"Uh..." Gwen scratched her head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Buddy, haven't you realized you've already said everything?"

That silly boy, his mouth was as tight as a fence, letting in air from all sides, to the point that she suspected the helmet on Karn's head was used to gag him.

Karn: My mouth is the tightest seal!

However, the crowd was not pleased that he had revealed the information; on the contrary, their expressions became even more serious.

A family that hunts Spider-Man —the thought is terrifying.

"What if he's telling the truth?" Gwen asked, frowning. "My Energy of the Universe energy is barely enough to deal with even one of them."

"Of course, we need more manpower."

Otto Parker remained calm.

"Isn't this exactly why I recruited you in the first place?"

"Speaking of manpower, I have a good candidate!" Gwen's eyes lit up, indicating that she had a plan.

Noir Spider-Man was also among those who spoke up.

The two exchanged a glance, clearly having already received their answer from each other's eyes.

"Looks like we're thinking of the same person." Noir Spider-Man laughed.

"Of course, who else could lead us to victory in this battle besides him?" Gwen smiled slightly. With Ben around, there was nothing to fear.

The Ben Universe.

New New York.

A glamorous modern city.

The glass the Vault hangs upside down two thousand meters in the air, forming a hemispherical protective shield that guards the city's interior.

Between the towering silver skyscrapers, each diamond-shaped pane of glass undulates with the pulse of the city, shimmering like the scales of a giant beast, standing side by side.

He went that way.

Between the skyscrapers, a figure dressed in a red and black Spider Suit dodges the maglev traffic high in the sky, chasing after a flying car not far away.

Closely following behind him was a dark figure of even greater strength.

The black shadow's movements were somewhat clumsy; it misjudged the timing of shooting out the Black Silk Silk, becoming significantly slower, and was consequently hit by an oncoming car, falling flat on its face.

"You son of a bitch, are you out of your mind? You fake Hacker Spider-Man!" The driver stuck his head out of the Anti-gravity Car and cursed.

"Say that again! I'm Venom, you son of a bitch!" Venom angrily swung his fist, which was as big as a sandbag, ready to teach his opponent a lesson right then and there.

"Calm down, Venom," the Flash within him soothed. "You haven't forgotten that you said you intended to turn over a new leaf and stop being impulsive, have you?"

Venom had no choice but to spit at the driver, then swallowed its anger and muttered indignantly:

I hate New York!

"It's all Benny's fault! He's turned New York into this mess!"

"Guess what? I could have avoided all those annoying horns if I had just stood a little higher, but now he's making those idiot drivers drive their cars a hundred meters in the air!"

"Don't talk nonsense, Benny made the city a better place." Flash shook his head. "Alright, we need to catch up with Spider-Man quickly, or those criminals might get away."

"They can't escape!" Venom shook his head dismissively. "Those idiots headed towards Osborn."

Harry Osborn rarely acts as the Super Hero Green Goblin, but with criminals running rampant under his nose, he can't just sit idly by, not to mention Peter is chasing after him.

"But I just happen to want to beat up a few people to vent my anger!"

Venom held his breath for a moment, feeling the stuffy gas in his stomach making him even more irritable. He immediately changed his approach, swinging his arm and flinging himself out like Mount Tai.

He and Flash have been working together as Agent Venom in New York for several weeks, fighting crime.

In the previous War of the Realms, Flash took the initiative to participate in the war. Although he did not play a significant role, he was later introduced by Peter to join the Galactic Plumbers and was being trained as Plumbers.

Peter was considered his superior in the Galactic Plumbers.

Working with his idol Spider-Man made Flash very happy, but Venom was a little embarrassed; he felt like he was facing an ex-boyfriend when he was with Peter.

He went into berserk mode, leaving buildings in his wake, but he was still too late.

When he arrived at the Osborn Building, he saw Green Goblin floating in mid-air on Goblin Glider, while Spider-Man shot out Silk to pack several criminals together.

"You're too slow, Agent Venom."

Peter turned his head; he knew that when traveling, one should use nicknames.

"Ugh, the sandbags are gone!"

"And their cars, you can smash them all you want," Harry said casually, then looked at Peter. "It feels like it's been ages since I've seen Benny."

"I haven't seen it in a long time either."

Peter pulled a dozen glowing energy cores from the criminals' pockets, then looked up and said helplessly, "Another Chitauri Technology smuggler. I've found several batches like this in the last few weeks."

"Let the Plumbers handle this small matter."

Harry wasn't too bothered by these trivial matters. He jumped off the Goblin Glider, glanced at Venom smashing cars in his anger, and continued to Peter, "When can we get together again? I really miss the early days of Primus, when Benny used to play games with us all the time."

"Don't even mention it, I don't even have anyone to cook at home now." Peter sadly, like an old man left behind. "Uncle Ben and Aunt May have both gone to space."

"Me too."

Harry looked miserable.

His father wasn't on Earth either; even if he were, Norman would spend all his time on the Galactic Plumbers Space Station.

"Isn't anyone caring about teenagers living alone?"

The two men sighed and groaned. Venom, chewing on the car's hood, tilted his head back and gulped down a mouthful of gasoline, then stuck out his tongue and cursed, "Disgusting!"

"That's not enough!" he strode over, grumbling. "Is there anything else I can smash?"

Peter and Harry shrugged simultaneously.

The world is so safe these days that it's almost unbelievable. If Plumbers didn't refrain from interfering in ordinary security incidents, they probably wouldn't even be able to catch a thief.

As for crimes committed Superpowers, they are extremely rare.

If Norman hadn't taken most of the Plumbers from the Galactic Plumbers's Guild to space during this period, Peter would probably have had even more free time.

As the three were talking, suddenly, a portal opened behind them.

Peter was immediately jolted awake.

Venom's eyes lit up, and he grinned, "Looks like we've found something that will give us some room to practice!"
