Ignoring the suspicious officers, Peter used his web fluid and immense strength to pull the firefighter and Niles up in just a few moves.

The firefighter and the others thanked Peter.

Niles stood to the side, watching Peter intently.

The immense strength and agility Peter displayed suddenly made him realize: if you were talking about a Super Soldier, wasn't this one right in front of him?

If he could obtain some blood samples from him for research, wouldn't that be much more reliable than Connors' unproven serum?

"Hello, you're Spider-Man, right? Thank you for saving me. My name is Niles, and I'm the head of biological research at the Osborn Group," Niles stepped forward, trying to get closer to Peter.

However, Peter, who had once merged with Shadow Spider-Man and inherited some of his insight, had already detected some issues from Niles' demeanor and tone.

He was too familiar with this kind of gaze!

Greed and calculation!

It was like a fox seeing a chick!

"Mhm, hello," Peter replied indifferently before jumping off the bridge again.

This time, the officers didn't try to stop him.

Not every car that was thrown out had people in it.

There were a total of seven cars (one had already fallen), and including Niles, there were only three people in total.

The other two didn't cause as much trouble.

Peter quickly rescued the firefighter who had fallen and the passengers trapped below.

Amidst the thanks from the firefighters and the rescued, Peter walked back to Captain Stacy, honestly raising his hands. "Captain Stacy, sorry, I had something urgent to attend to and went out for a bit, but I'm back now."

Captain Stacy:

At this moment, the officer named Omar finally returned.

He brought the investigation results.

Indeed, some massive claw marks were found on nearby cars and the bridge surface, preliminarily identified as belonging to a giant reptile.

At the same time, they also learned two things from the testimonies of some passersby:

First, not long ago, a humanoid giant lizard monster appeared on the Manhattan side of the Williamsburg Bridge and caused destruction along the way.

It was the cause of the panic that ultimately led to this incident.

Second, the vehicles currently hanging outside were thrown by that giant lizard monster, not Spider-Man.

On the contrary, Spider-Man only intervened to catch them after seeing them being thrown.

Even before the police arrived, Spider-Man had already saved a little boy.

All signs indicated that Spider-Man was not a criminal but a hero who saved people.

A superhero!

Some onlookers began to applaud and cheer for Spider-Man.

Captain Stacy waved his hand, signaling the other officers to lower their guns.

"Spider-kid, I hope you can always stay like this and never give me a reason to know you're causing trouble!"

"Okay, okay, Captain Stacy, hehe," Peter chuckled.

He knew his goal had finally been achieved.

Although Captain Stacy still seemed untrusting of him, his actions showed that his perception of Peter had changed somewhat.

At least, they were no longer completely at odds.

This was a good sign!

Peter wished he could immediately share this news with Gwen and the others. But it's too strange for me, who isn't this world's Peter, to tell Gwen, isn't it?

Peter suddenly jolted awake. The longer he stayed in this world, the deeper he merged with this world's Peter, the more he would unconsciously ignore the fact that he came from another world.

"It seems I can't overuse my abilities; I must exercise restraint. I wonder if these worlds are parallel universes or some other kind of existence. But no matter what, that world is the one that truly belongs to me. As for other worlds, I'm just a passerby." Peter thought to himself.

However, before leaving, perhaps he could leave something behind.

Peter left the Williamsburg Bridge amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the crowd.

Following his memory, he arrived at a dilapidated shack in Queens.

This was one of the rough areas in Queens, filled with homeless people and a mixed crowd.

But for that reason, some things were more suitable to be placed here.

The original Peter had found a discarded house here that no one wanted. After some modifications, it became his workshop.

Inside the workshop were some equipment he had salvaged from various junkyards and scrap yards.

Peter's web-shooters were made here.

But it was clear that compared to the slightly lagging technological level of this world, coupled with the original Peter's immature skills, his web-shooters were also quite rudimentary.

This was why his web-shooter had suddenly jammed earlier.

As for Peter.

Living in an age of information explosion and having had close contact with alien invasion events like the Chitauri army, his understanding of material science was far superior to the original Peter's.

Moreover, he also possessed a suit from Iron Man.

Iron Man's technological level was absolutely peak in his era.

Although Peter had only just obtained it, with his strong learning ability, he had already gained insights into many things through analogy.

Soon, Peter found some materials among the many existing ones that could be used to improve the web-shooters, and then he modified the two web-shooters he had.

About half an hour later, the modification work was successfully completed.

Peter checked the time and realized that five hours had passed without him noticing. Soon, it would be dawn in his world.

Peter then took out a piece of paper, wrote some things on it, placed it on the table, and then closed his eyes. He summoned the glowing web from his consciousness and cut off the glowing silk from it.

Snap—

Peter felt his soul transform into a point of light, traversing a dark and deep space, entering another gate of light.

New York, Queens.

Peter opened his eyes and looked at the familiar ceiling, knowing he had returned to his own world.

Tonight's experience was truly spectacular!

He had never encountered so many things in his own world.

The only pity was that he hadn't fought that lizard monster yet before it escaped.

He wondered if he would have a chance to fight it in the future.

Peter thought, and subconsciously glanced at the point of light in his mind.

He froze for a moment.

"Huh? Why is the point of light still there? Does this mean I can go there again?"

At this moment, new information suddenly appeared in Peter's mind:

Marked Universes: earth-90214 (Shadow Spider-Man, currently inaccessible)

earth-120703 (Amazing Spider-Man, accessible)
