Madame Web's Instructions

When Thanos questioned him, Russell leaned back in his chair, hands in his pockets, in a casual posture.

"I told you long ago, he's the God of Stories."

Thanos narrowed his deep eyes slightly, and Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight exchanged a glance.

Cull Obsidian raised his head slightly, his Supergiant psychic senses frantically scanning Russell's surroundings, trying to find any trace of him joking.

But she found nothing.

Thanos was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.

Although he had never heard of the title "God of Stories" before, by this point he could tell that the old man was no ordinary person.

One second a retired old man is sitting in Queens fast food restaurant, eating a burger and writing stories, and the next second he disappears.

It seems that, apart from Cairo, no one else present noticed how the old man left.

This is beyond Thanos's entire understanding of "power".

Silver Surfer shares the same idea as Thanos.

His starlight pupils were spinning, as if calculating, assessing, and re-understanding the guardians of this earth and the power behind him.

He had thought Russell was already the most unique being in the universe, but now he saw someone even more unique.

His will then connected with Earth's information network, and countless invisible, cross- Dimension information flows surged within his consciousness.

He quickly finished collecting everything about Spider-Man.

He wanted to see what was so special about this child who had been chosen by both Russell and Stan Lee.

Peter Parker, Queens native and soon-to-be college student, gains superpowers after being bitten by a radioactive spider.

For the past few years, he has been active in New York City as "Spider-Man," catching many criminals and saving many lives.

He is known as a "friendly neighbor" and has done good deeds such as helping elderly women cross the street, helping children find their balloons, and giving directions to lost tourists.

His Heroes deeds include defeating the Vulture, Mysterio, Doctor Octopus, and Green Goblin.

Based on the information gathered, Spider-Man's record is indeed impressive, but that's about it.

A single Heroes punishing criminals on the street cannot possibly defeat Galactus.

Silver Surfer didn't dwell on the question of who should defeat Galactus.

He had already witnessed a small part of the old man's power. If the mysterious old man said that Spider-Man could defeat Galactus, then perhaps Spider-Man really could defeat Galactus.

But he also doubted that a Heroes who had never even left his own Planet could defeat a cosmic being on par with the five Creator God.

So he asked Russell.

Can Spider-Man really defeat Galactus?

Russell looked at him, his expression still casual and calm.

"Just wait and see, Galactus's fate was sealed long ago."

He turned around and faced the streets of Queens outside the fast food restaurant window.

On the rooftop of an ordinary apartment building in Queens, Spider-Man is preparing to rescue a cat.

The poor kitten was stuck in a tree, meowing and too scared to come down.

The old woman under the tree looked up, leaning on her cane, her face full of anxiety.

Spider-Man swung over, gently picked up the cat, and handed it to the old lady.

The old lady thanked Spider-Man.

"Thank you, Spider-Man, you're a really good person."

Spider-Man scratched the back of his head and replied, "You're welcome." Then, with a leap, he landed next to the stone statues on the tower of a nearby church.

He gazed down at the city where he had lived for many years.

"This is so unfamiliar. Is this still the New York I know?" Spider-Man muttered to himself.

He lived in this city for nearly twenty years, running through its streets, swinging on its rooftops, and being a good neighbor under its night sky.

It's fair to say he knows every corner of this city.

But now, this city feels unfamiliar.

Since New York became Sanctuary for Mutants, its crime rate has plummeted.

The robberies, thefts, gang fights, and superpowered crimes that once kept Spider-Man so busy have all gradually disappeared.

Because Mutants spontaneously organize themselves to capture criminals who dare to disrupt the city's order, they are more efficient than the police, and even more efficient than Spider-Man.

Spider-Man crouched beside the stone statue on the tower, gazing down at the peaceful streets below.

"I'm about to lose my job," he muttered to himself again. "A friendly neighbor in New York City, now a friendly neighbor that can't even catch criminals."

He shook his head.

"And S.H.I.E.L.D.., Mr. Stark in the Spatial Cage, I wonder how they are doing now."

Russell locked them in the Spatial Cage; Mr. Stark must be furious, but I'm powerless to do anything about it.

He shook his head again.

"Is all of this Russell has caused a good thing or a bad thing?"

Spider-Man sighed, shot out Silk, and swung towards the distant skyscrapers.

Suddenly, his Spider-Sense began to throb wildly.

In an instant, the scene before him changed drastically; a cloud of green smoke surged out from around him and enveloped him.

The next second, a dizzying sensation swept over him, and he fell into an unknown space.

As Spider-Man adjusted his position, he saw an elegant figure sitting on Throne covered in spiderwebs in the center of this unknown space.

She wore a red Cloak Cloak with intricate, spiderweb-like patterns.

Her face doesn't reveal her actual age; she looks like both a young mother and an ancient prophet.

"Spider-Man." Madame Web's voice echoed in the void, like a future echo polished by time.

"Or Peter Parker."

Spider-Man looked at the unfamiliar woman, exclaimed "Wow!", and joked:

"Congratulations on discovering Spider-Man's true identity, but there's no reward. There's also something very important: you know me, but I don't know you."

"My name is Madame Web," the woman said. "You can think of me as one of the Spider-Totem in the Multiverse, able to see the future and Spider-Man's mission."

Spider-Man paused for a moment, seemingly realizing he had been drawn into another serious incident.

"You must have something important to tell me why you brought me here."

"Yes," Madame Web nodded. "I specifically called you here because the Galactus will arrive on Earth in two days."

"Galactus, that's a pretty intimidating title." Spider-Man shrugged.

Madame Web explained, "The Galactus is one of the five Creator God, a cosmic entity that has devoured countless planets and Galaxy."

Spider-Man's pupils contracted slightly.

So, Earth is in danger.

"Yes," Madame Web explained further, "He will devour the Earth, he will consume all life, turning this blue Planet into cosmic debris."

Spider-Man remained silent for a moment.

"This..." He touched his forehead, "This is a big problem. You should go to Russell."

He is now the strongest man on Earth, capable of reversing time and creating Spatial Cage. I am just a nobody.

"You're the one I've been looking for," Madame Web interrupted him.

Spider-Man blinked.

"You're looking for me?" he repeated. "Why? I'm just a friendly neighbor, and now I can't even afford the rent."

"Spider-Man, don't underestimate your potential. All you need to do is go to Russell, and he'll tell you what to do."

Spider-Man's expression under the mask was priceless.

"You dragged me here just to tell me to go find Russell?"

"That's one way to understand it." Madame Web stretched out her hand, and green smoke once again surged out of the void, bringing Spider-Man back to reality.

"Go for it, child."
