With powerful Mental Power activated, all the memories once recorded in the soul were being rapidly searched.
Soon, Meikyō deduced which world this might be.
"If I remember correctly, the device will explode in a moment, and then a black kid with the same abilities as Spider-Man will appear, take Spider-Man's USB drive key, and run away."
"Then, Spider-Man was killed by Kingpin, and that black kid named Miles became the only Spider-Man in the world."
Meikyō stroked his chin as he recalled.
At this moment, Doctor Octopus finally looked up from the bunch of buttons on the operating instrument in front of her and saw the figure standing behind her in the light reflected from the glass. She was startled.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
A whooshing sound rang out as white metallic tentacles rapidly reached towards the Meikyō.
Meikyō stood still, raised her hand, and used her Psychic Power to restrain the Doctor Octopus's movements, while simultaneously creating a Psychic Power barrier around the two of them.
The next second.
"Boom!"
An explosion rang out; the instrument Kingpin used to explore Parallel Universes had finally exploded due to energy instability.
Meikyō's Mirror God Eyes were fixed on the scene unfolding before him.
It was indeed the world I remembered.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
Miles has just taken the USB drive key from the badly injured Spider-Man Peter Parker and is now running towards the ventilation shaft.
Kingpin, with the Vulture, heads toward Spider-Man.
"A machine that can travel through Parallel Universes, it was worth the trip."
A smile finally appeared on Meikyō's face as he looked at the Doctor Octopus in her white coat.
"Did you build that thing that just exploded down there?"
Meikyō turned her gaze to Doctor Octopus.
"Answer me honestly."
Ripples appeared in his eye sockets, and under the Genjutsu of the Rinnegan, Doctor Octopus nodded indifferently.
"Very good, you are of value to me."
A smile appeared on Meikyō's lips as he led the Doctor Octopus across the debris on the ground towards where Kingpin and Peter Parker were.
"Do you know what I saw in there? You won't succeed."
Peter Parker, with a smile on his face after his mask was removed, spoke weakly to Kingpin.
"And I have seen your death."
Kingpin, his fist cracking, was about to smash it down on Spider-Man to end his life.
"Don't be so irritable, Fatty."
Meikyō's voice suddenly rang out, Kingpin he grasped Kingpin's fist with a hand that was at least two sizes smaller than Kingpin's.
Kingpin looked up in shock.
This power, far surpassing his own, is something that neither Spider-Man, nor Dr. Lizard, nor Rhino Man could compare to.
"Who are you? And Dr. Ollie... how did you..."
A smile spread across Meikyō's face as he greeted Peter Parker was lying on the ground.
"Hello, Spider-Man, long time no see."
"Ahem, you're the one whose eyes were bleeding at noon, right? Two hours, that's a long time indeed."
Peter looked relieved and struggled to sit up from the ground.
Despite his severe injuries, his self-healing ability is actually quite strong.
If Kingpin hadn't killed him, he might have regained some mobility in about ten minutes.
"You still haven't answered me, who exactly are you?"
Kingpin stared at Meikyō, his other hand secretly behind his back, preparing to pull out a high-tech weapon from his pocket.
"I'm just a passerby, a passerby who doesn't belong to your world. Also, you can take your other hand back. That little thing won't work on me. Apart from nuclear weapons, humans shouldn't have any ability to harm me. Of course, I'm not sure if it can harm me, since I wouldn't take that kind of thing head-on."
Kingpin paused, a look of intense surprise spreading across his face.
"You're from another world?! I succeeded?!"
"Alright, Mr. Kingpin, you're very rich, so you're useful to me."
Peter, who had put his mask back on, felt something was off.
What do you need me to do?
Kingpin asked the Meikyō.
"Recreate this thing, and put it with her."
Meikyō pointed to the remains of the Dimension Travel Device in the ruins, and then to the Doctor Octopus.
"Hey buddy! This is no good news!"
Spider-Man suddenly jumped up from where he stood.
Not long after, although he hasn't fully recovered, he has regained some of his fighting strength and has become that lively little bug again.
"Okay, I promise you!"
Kingpin said excitedly.
"Hey buddy, the workings of the Multiverse are a very complex thing. People who don't belong to the same spacetime should not interfere with the time of events in other spacetimes. Otherwise, the collision between two spacetimes can lead to unpredictable consequences. In the worst case, it can even cause two spacetimes with similar mass to annihilate each other!"
Spider-Man grabbed Meikyō's shoulder and blurted out a long speech.
What's the logic behind this?
Meikyō has traveled through several worlds, but he has never heard of such a claim, nor has he ever experienced the kind of event Spider-Man described.
However, what Spider-Man said is indeed possible.
Because the Marvel Multiverse is an extremely vast collection of worlds, containing countless universes and countless powerful figures.
Countless powerful figures have also established detailed rules for this universe.
Just like Spider-Man just said.
This place is completely different from other worlds.
Heroes like Captain America and Hawk Eyes aren't ridiculously powerful. While they surpass ordinary people, they're not that far off. If a well-organized army were to stand in their way, they'd be helpless.
Iron Man, Thor, and Hulk are clearly much stronger, and ordinary armies are meaningless in front of them, but this is obviously not the end.
Above that are Celestial-level like Hela and Thanos, Celestial Fathers like Odin and the Ancient One, and even stronger ones like Sentry and Hyperion. These are all within the single-universe level. Meikyō estimates that he is about the same, not strong enough to break through the single-universe level.
Because further up there are Multiverse- level beings, powerful enough to influence the Multiverse, though they are largely unreliable. There are cosmic-concept-level beings like Eternity and death, with the strongest being Thanos with the six Infinity Gauntlet Stones and the Infinity Thanos, capable of defeating the five Gods. There are also weak beings like Unicron, who are merely background characters in major events and could be easily defeated by anyone except a street hero.
These beings often appear as background figures in the story, such as who killed Galactus or Eternity dying again. A large part of the reason is that if these beings were to descend into a single universe, they could only exert power that does not exceed that universe. For example, Mephisto often sends out clones to various worlds to cause trouble.
When discussing the Multiverse, we need to consider dimensions and Parallel Universes.
One dimension forms a line, two dimensions form a plane, three dimensions form space, a plane is a cross-section of a plane, and four dimensions form a complete spacetime. The four-dimensional stage is a Fudō real world. Continuing the analogy, the cross-section of the fifth dimension is a complete spacetime.
Therefore, just as space is composed of countless planes, five-dimensional space is a collection of countless parallel spaces that are similar to each other.
A Multiverse is a collection, and multiple Multiverses above that are higher-dimensional Multiverses or the Living Tribunal.
Phoenix itself, the Living Tribunal, and Nemesis belong to this level.
At this level, they truly belong to the lowest realm of all things in the universe. They are part of everything, part of the operation of truth. The source of the Infinity Stones is Nemesis. When she died, the vast majority of the Marvel Universe was born with the Infinity Stones, possessing the power to almost rewrite everything.
Even further up is OAA, which stands for One Above All, meaning an existence that reigns above everything, which can be understood as God.
Of course, a better interpretation is that the so-called OAA actually represents Marvel's editorial department...
With so many highly advanced beings, incredibly detailed operating rules have been established for the entire Marvel Universe.
This means that the Marvel Universe is an extremely advanced world with highly perfect rules!
While Meikyō was pondering, Kingpin got into a fight with Spider-Man again.
"Spider-Man, do you think you can stop me, and someone stronger than me?"
Kingpin's face darkened, and his head bumped against Spider-Man's.
"Kingpin, I sympathize with your plight, but your choice may very well lead to a series of unpredictable consequences!"
Spider-Man looked at Kingpin and said.
He knew Kingpin's goal: to find his deceased wife and son from Parallel Universe.
"Hmph, but this unknown gentleman said he comes from another world! Do you want to stop him from returning to his own world?"
Kingpin sneered.
Although he misunderstood the origins of the Meikyō, so did Spider-Man.
Spider-Man was silent for a moment, then looked at Meikyō.
"Brother, I'll help you get back, and you..."
Spider-Man then turned to look at Kingpin.
"Kingpin, I will still do everything in my power to stop you after this guy goes back!"
"Then you won't be like you are now, with someone coming to rescue you."
Kingpin snorted coldly, placed his right hand on his chest, and gave Meikyō an elegant bow.
"Sir, let me introduce myself. I am Wilson Fisker, ranked seventy-first on the Forbes list of billionaires and one of the top three philanthropists in New York. As you can see, I simply want to use this device to find my beloved."
Spider-Man interrupted, "He is also the biggest underground criminal in the United States. Forty percent of the crimes on this continent are related to him, or the companies and gangs he controls. Although he appears to be a great philanthropist, he is actually an out-and-out villain. He is known in the underworld Kingpin, which means that this guy is the king of the underworld."
"But at least I'm not the kind of guy who likes to hide his true self!"
Kingpin retorted.
"Okay, good neighbor of New York City, you don't need to introduce yourself anymore, we've already seen your face."
Meikyō patted Spider-Man on the shoulder.
Peter Parker was taken aback.
Just before Kingpin nearly killed me, he removed my hood!
With Kingpin's power, he'll definitely be able to find out his true identity and then start by targeting the people around him.
Then Aunt May and Mary Jane...
"Alright, before I leave, I require that neither of you leave my side, and you must not fight amongst yourselves. If you want to fight, you must wait until after I leave, otherwise..."
A powerful aura emanated from Meikyō.
"I have the ability to destroy the entire surface of the Earth."
Kingpin and Spider-Man believed it.
The aura of the person in front of him was so strong that it was beyond comprehension.
What they used to call "presence" was simply a person's inherent temperament. Those in positions of power, who have been issuing orders for years, naturally possess that kind of presence. Or, those who have taken many lives and seen blood will also carry a murderous aura.
Both of these Kingpin present, and to the average person, he is quite imposing. A timid person might be too scared to even speak in front of an angry Kingpin.
But at this moment, the one who was overwhelmed by the imposing aura and sweating profusely became Kingpin.
This guy must be a high-ranking person in his world, and he's killed far more people than I have!
This was Kingpin's most direct reaction, followed by the fact that the person in front of him possessed a power so great that it was almost incomprehensible to him.
Spider-Man, however, provides a more direct and immediate experience.
In his Spider-Sense, the figure standing in front of him seemed not to be a human at all, but a terrifying energy giant that stood tall and could cleave the earth with a single blow!
"Alright, it seems you know a bit about Parallel Universes and such. So, next, I'll trouble you and Doctor Ovie to fix this machine together, and also explain its principles to me, as well as what you know about Parallel Universes, right?"
Meikyō withdrew her aura, clapped her hands, and brought the two back to their senses.
"All right."
Peter nodded helplessly.
"I'll arrange for someone to prepare the things needed to repair this machine."
Kingpin gave Spider-Man a deep look before stepping back.
He planned to take this opportunity to investigate the face he had just seen.
Although Uchiha Meikyō was present, he dared not make a move for the time being, but that did not prevent him from making preparations first.
"Um... I have a few physics books about Parallel Universes. Could I go home first?"
Peter raised his hand.
As Kingpin's old adversary, how could he not guess what Kingpin's purpose was?
He also needed to find a reason to go back and make some preparations.
Fortunately, the dark-skinned boy with the same abilities as himself had not yet been discovered by Kingpin's men, making him a perfect backup plan.
"Go, and come back as soon as possible."
Spider-Man moves very quickly.
In about ten minutes, he had arranged everything.
Kingpin hasn't returned yet. Building something this big would require many precious items.
As for Doctor Octopus, after inspecting the parts of the parallel Dimension Travel Device that needed to be replaced or repaired, she began to analyze the data collected from the previous experiment.
