Amusement Park Invitation

Blue Planet, the Big Apple City, remains as bustling and "peaceful" as ever—under the unshakeable pillar of the Arbitrator Organization, chaos and supercrime have long since become cold terms in history books.

Sunlight penetrates the glass curtain walls of skyscrapers, casting geometrically shaped patches of light on the street.

People hurried along, their faces bearing the familiar, accepted safety of this era.

Peter Parker, our Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, has just finished a minor community "help"—helping an elderly lady find her lost cat.

At this moment, it is swinging effortlessly on its Silk, tracing smooth paths between the skyscrapers.

Aunt May's words echoed in his ears, "Peter, remember to buy eggs! We've run out!" The destination was the familiar grocery store on the street corner.

Just as he executed a graceful swing, preparing to use the momentum to rush towards the block where the grocery store was located—

Buzz!

Without any warning!

A holographic screen emitting a faint blue light suddenly unfolded in front of him, its size perfectly covering his entire field of vision!

"Whoa!" Peter cried out in surprise, his body suddenly freezing in mid-air! The inertia carried him straight toward a huge neon billboard next to him!

At the critical moment, he instinctively shot out Silk from his wrist, forcibly changing his trajectory and awkwardly sticking to the cold exterior wall of the building next to him.

"Phew... that was close!" Peter gasped for breath, his heart still pounding. He looked at the screen floating in mid-air with a mixture of surprise and disbelief.

The screen's material and light were strangely unfamiliar, unlike any technology he knew of from Earth or Stark Industries. It floated silently, with subtle, almost living energy flows flowing along its edges.

"Friday?" Peter lowered his voice, staring warily at the screen. "What new trick are you playing? You scared me to death!"

The AI assistant's clear, calm voice, tinged with a hint of doubt, immediately came through the earpiece. "Peter, my sensors haven't detected any abnormal display units in your location. The scan shows no obstacles in the airspace in front of you. What did you see?"

Peter's brow furrowed instantly.

Can't he see Friday? Only he can see this screen? A chill ran down my spine.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Since Friday can't see it, I'll have to rely on myself.

He cautiously extended his finger, with utmost caution, and gently touched the screen that emitted an ominous blue light.

Swish--

The strange symbols that had been flowing like mercury and were unrecognizable on the screen began to piece together!

Instead, standard English is used:

"Superhero – Spider-Man, Peter Parker."

Your world is about to be destroyed.

Are you willing to risk your life to fight for it?

You will face the most vicious villain threat from the Multiverse.

If you fail, your world will be completely wiped out.

[Agree] [Disagree]

The words were as cold as engravings on a tombstone; each word struck Peter's heart like a hammer blow.

"My... my world... is destroyed?" Peter's voice was dry and hoarse, and his face turned pale instantly.

A villain from the Multiverse? To pay with one's life? To be completely wiped out? The sheer amount of information contained in those few lines left his mind blank, and fear gripped his heart.

He could barely breathe; his finger hovered above the [Agree] and [Decline] options, trembling violently, unable to click.

"FFFriday!" His voice trembled with fear. "Did you see that? The words on the screen! It said..."

"Peter, I still can't detect any signal." Friday's voice was urgent. "But I received an emergency assembly order from Mr. Tony! Priority: High! All personnel! Return to Arbitrator Tower immediately! [Silver-Winged Ferocious Star] is currently heading towards your skies."

"All... everyone?" Peter suddenly realized something, a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!

"Yes, Peter!" Friday's tone was more serious than ever before. "Stark, Captain, Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel ... all the online Arbitrators reported encountering holographic screens with 'world-ending warnings' that couldn't be detected from the outside at the same second! The content was similar to what you described, but it was targeting their respective identities!"

"Oh my god..." Peter gasped, feeling a chill run through his body.

This wasn't a prank or accident targeting him alone!

This is a simultaneous doomsday warning targeting the entire protective force of Blue Planet! It transcends the comprehension of current technology!

Tony's volatile voice shattered Peter's headphones, replacing Friday's:

"Peter! Stay put! Silver-Winged Ferocious Star is coming to pick you and Daredevil up right now! Malibu, assemble!"

"Stark?! What on earth is going on?!" Peter's voice shrill, his heart pounding in his throat.

"I don't know! We'll talk when we meet!" Tony spoke rapidly, giving Peter no time to explain. Immediately afterward, Peter heard Tony roar at someone on the other end of the communicator:

"Damn it! Why isn't Chen Tian replying to my calls?!"

"Happy! Get the hell to his office! If you can't find him, ask his wife!"

Peter suddenly remembered and quickly shouted into the communicator:

"Stark! Mr. Chen Tian isn't here! He's gone to another dimension!"

Tony was clearly taken aback. "What space?!"

"Deadpool has been captured by the TVA! Mr. Chen Tian has gone to find him!" Peter spoke very quickly.

"Damn it!" Tony yelled in a fit of rage. "Alright! I got it! Stay put! Silver-Winged Ferocious Star is coming soon!"

Smack!

The communication was unilaterally cut off by Tony, cleanly and decisively.

Peter frozen in place, his face blank.

Even Stark doesn't know? What's the origin of this sudden doomsday warning and the bizarre blue screen?!

Boom

The silver-white fighter jet tore through the clouds, its tail hatch swung open with a roar. Dante stood at the hatch, one hand on the handle, his red trench coat fluttering in the wind. "Spider-Man! Get on!"

Peter a word, Peter flicked his Silk and was ejected into the cabin.

He removed his mask, his face deathly pale. "Dante! You know about that blue screen—"

"I can't see it." Dante shrugged, chewing gum. "Although you all say there's some blue item in front of me, I haven't seen a single pixel."

Peter was also puzzled after hearing Dante's words, and plopped down in his seat.

'Can't see him? Isn't Dante a superhero? That can't be right.'

Just as Peter was completely baffled, the fighter jet swooped down and picked up Daredevil.

As soon as Matt entered the cabin, he said in a deep voice, "This is the first time I've realized that I wasn't blind after all."

Dante and Peter looked at Matt in confusion. Matt put down his cane and said, "My vision should have been completely dark, but this blue screen..." He pointed to the air.

"Like a light in the darkness, it appeared directly in the center."

Dante scoffed upon hearing this, "It seems what you're talking about isn't technology, but a kind of dimensional magic."

Whoosh--!

The Silver-Winged Ferocious Star's engines roared, tearing through the sky, causing the skyscrapers of Big Apple City below to shrink rapidly.

"Magic?" Peter Kazuma asked simultaneously.

Dante leaned back in his seat. "We'll talk about it when we get back." He gestured with his chin towards the porthole. "We'll be there soon."

Tactical conference room on the top floor of the Arbitrator Tower.

Tony stood in front of the holographic display with his arms crossed, his face ashen.

Captain America, Steve, frowned.

Thor wielded the Stormbreaker, its blade crackling with electricity.

In the shadows, Loki, leisurely twirled a dagger, a faint, cold smile playing on his lips. (Is he a superhero too?)

Dante and his two companions pushed open the door and entered.

"Quiet!" Tony slammed his fist on the table.

The buzzing discussion abruptly stopped.

Tony's sharp gaze swept across the room. "That blue screen, it's still standing in front of each of you, isn't it?"

The heroes in the room looked grim and nodded silently.

"Ha!" Tony scoffed, his voice rising. "Making such a big fuss, just to play a prank on us with a holographic projection? What kind of genius from which dimension is this?!"

Captain America said in a deep voice, "Tony, we can't just judge whether it's a prank; we need to..."

"Need my ass!" Thor's thunderous voice boomed, his beard standing on end.

"Asgardians are never coerced! I'll see what they can do to me without this damned 'agreement'!"

These words instantly ignited the entire audience!

"Thor's right!" Tony's eyes lit up, a ruthless smile curving his lips. "I'd like to see what kind of tricks this piece of junk can pull off!"

"Yes! Don't choose!"

"Who are you trying to scare!"

The meeting room was filled with indignation; everyone was furious at the frustrating notice, and Thor's suggestion hit the nail on the head!

At this very moment--

Buzz!

The blue screens in front of all the heroes suddenly flickered!

The glaring scarlet text instantly overwrote the previous options:

Warning: All unconfirmed cases!

If you do not make a selection (agree/decline) within 30 seconds, it will be automatically considered a refusal to participate in the battle!

Destruction program... activated!

Countdown: 29...28...27...

The numbers were pounding wildly, like a pacemaker!

"What the f***?!" Tony's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!

"Enemy attack!!!" Captain America instantly raised his Vibranium Shield!

Thor roared, and lightning enveloped his entire body!

Doctor Strange pulls out a magical shield with both hands! Cyclops's Ruby-Quartz Visor flash with a dangerous light! Wanda spreads her arms, and a red shield envelops 2B and Kiana!

The entire conference room erupted instantly, like an ice cube being thrown into boiling oil!

The heroes instinctively assumed their strongest battle stances, a chaotic mix of energy beams, the sound of weapons being drawn, and roars!

Panic is spreading!

The numbers coldly jumped to:...3...2...1...

Time reset!

The conference room fell into a deathly silence. Everyone held their breath, their muscles tense to the limit, awaiting the Descent of the legendary "destruction"!

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Nothing happened.

Just as everyone was filled with astonishment and doubt, the cold text suddenly twisted and melted, transforming into a series of huge, flamboyant, and even pulsating colored characters, followed by a mocking emoticon:

Just kidding! Hahaha, you bunch of idiots!

Did you get tricked?! (￣▽￣)~*

Grass

The entire conference room erupted in chaos! Thor roared as if he wanted to smash the air, Tony's palm cannon shone blindingly, and Captain America even swung his shield!

At the very peak of this volcanic eruption--

Buzz!

The sarcastic words instantly melted and reformed, transforming into a cold declaration:

"I don't care whether you agree or not—welcome to my playground!"

Boom

The blue screens in front of all the heroes suddenly shattered! A violent blue light instantly engulfed the figures of every hero in the conference room!

A blinding light! It was so bright you couldn't open your eyes!

The light flashed and disappeared in an instant!

The meeting room emptied instantly!

Tony, Captain America, Thor, Loki, Doctor Strange, Wanda, Captain Marvel, Thor, Daredevil, Spider-Man...

Everyone! Along with their roars, energy beams, and weapons, they all vanished without a trace!

The room, which was just moments ago packed with top experts, is now filled only with cold alloy walls and a holographic projection table that keeps buzzing.

Dead silence.

Absolute silence.

Dante forgot to chew the gum he was holding.

The 2B's tactical eyepieces instantly locked onto and scanned the entire space, with the data stream refreshing rapidly.

Kiana's twin pistols snapped open with a "click," pointing warily in all directions.

In the corner, Professor X's expression changed drastically, and the few remaining X-Men behind him were all on high alert!

"Charles?!" The Beast's voice was hoarse, his nostrils flaring, but he couldn't detect a single familiar scent.

Professor X did not answer. A look of horror appeared on his aged face, and without hesitation, he stretched out two fingers and pressed them firmly against his temples!

A powerful Mind Stone force, like an invisible storm, swept across the entire building, the entire city, and the entire planet in an instant!

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Professor X suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils contracted sharply, and his voice was dry and heavy with disbelief:

"No... there's nothing at all!"

"Their vital signs... their Mind Stone fluctuations..."

"Completely disappeared!"

Not in any corner of this world!

Smack!

Dante popped a bubble in his chewing gum, a cold smile playing on his lips, "Heh, to be able to take so many tough nuts in one go... this enemy has some serious resources."

"Hmm." 2B's voice was calm and even, the tactical goggles flashing faintly. "But he clearly missed crucial intelligence."

Kiana's face tightened, and she Mind Stone: "So what do we do now? Wait for our darling (Chen Tian) to come back?"

Dante stood up, his boots lightly tapping the floor with a crisp sound.

"My nephew? He'll probably be 'invited' to that damn party too." He glanced at the empty conference room with a hint of amusement.

Professor X was about to ask about this shrouded-in-mystery conversation when 2B turned to him, her voice clear and decisive:

"Mr. Xavier. X-Men. Mutant Academy."

"All personnel are to assemble immediately at the Arbitrator Tower."

Her gaze pierced through the eyepiece, and she spoke solemnly:

"From this moment forward, until the hero returns—"

"Global Security Defense System, highest authority, temporarily transferred to you and the Mutants forces under your command."

"Global peace is temporarily in your hands."

Professor X's pupils dilated, and he instantly understood the gravity of the current situation and his own responsibility.

Without any hesitation, he pressed two fingers to his temples again, and his powerful mental energy instantly transcended space, directly echoing a crystal-clear assembly order in the minds of all the X-Men and core trainees:

[All X-Men and core members! High alert!]

Put everything aside immediately!

[At top speed!]

[Emergency assembly at the Arbitrator Tower!]

Rogue, Colossus, Nightcrawler, and other familiar figures, with extremely solemn expressions and instantly ignited fighting stances, rapidly converged from various entrances, platforms, and passages of the building!

The entire Arbitrator Tower was instantly enveloped in a heavy, yet poised, atmosphere of war!

Tear!

The top floor of the Arbitrator Tower was brutally torn apart like a rag!

Chen Tian took a step forward, his body still shrouded in the aura of violent spatial turbulence.

Buzz!

The eerie blue screen instantly popped up in front of him, displaying the same chilling warning of destruction.

Chen Tian glanced at them, snorted coldly, ignored them, and strode towards the tactical conference room.

The door opened.

The expected argument and commotion did not materialize. There was only Dante chewing gum, 2B standing still scanning, Kiana pacing anxiously, and Professor X and some of the X-Men with grim expressions.

The room was empty. Tony, Captain America, Thor... they were all gone! The huge conference room was chillingly cold.

"Darling!" Kiana's eyes lit up, and she pounced on Chen Tian like a cannonball, tightly hugging his arm. Her words came out like a machine gun. "That was terrifying! Whoosh! Uncle Tony and the others were all wiped out by that blue screen! Just a whoosh! A flash of blue light! Professor Charles said they were all gone! They couldn't find them! They were all gone! Uncle Tony and the others said they'd fight back and not choose [the option], but they got tricked and then they were taken away in a bag!..."

Chen Tian listened expressionlessly, his gaze sweeping over Dante. "Package?"

Dante shrugged and blew a bubble. "Hmm, quite a scene. Let's take them all."

He pointed to his eyes. "Me, 2B, Kiana, and these Mutants guys didn't trigger that thing."

"Ha, those the Beyonder love playing this game." Chen Tian's tone was icy as he turned his gaze to Professor X: "Charles."

Professor X immediately became serious, tilting his wheelchair slightly forward. "Mr. Chen, Tony and the others..."

"I understand," Chen Tian interrupted him, his words decisive. "This place is yours. Blue Planet, guard it well. Don't let me down."

The immense pressure made Professor X gasp for breath, but without hesitation, he nodded firmly. "Understood! As long as one X-Men remains, Blue Planet will be safe!"

Chen Tian stopped looking at him and turned his gaze to Dante, 2B, and Kiana, saying succinctly, "Let's go."

With a wave of his hand, Dante and his companions vanished into thin air.

Then he raised his hand, facing the blue screen that was still floating in front of him, visible only to him, and without hesitation, tapped the 'Agree' option.

Agree

Buzz--!

The black mist erupted from Chen Tian's fingertips in an instant, engulfing him like a living thing!

Without the blue light that had just made Tony and the others disappear, as if erased from thin air, Chen Tian vanished without a trace.

In the conference room, only the heavy breathing of the X-Men and a deathly silence remained.
