SSC Headquarters Building.
Green Goblin Norman Osborn stands on a glider, hovering in mid-air above the building.
He wore his signature green armor, a hideous demon mask, and toyed with a Pumpkin Bomb in his hand.
Behind him, Venom Eddie Brock clung to the building's exterior wall, Symbiote black tentacles constantly probing the building's defense systems.
"This is it."
The Green Goblin's voice was filled with maniacal laughter. "The energy reaction in this building must be related to how we got here. Let's go in and take a look; maybe we can find a way back. And while we're at it... let everyone locked up inside out, make this city a bit more lively."
"I just want to go home!"
Venom's voice was deep, and the Symbiote's teeth gleamed coldly in the moonlight. "I don't want to get involved in anything messy."
Green Goblin sneered, "Go home? Can we even go back? We don't even know how we got here, let alone how to get back. We might as well turn this place upside down, the bigger the commotion, the better. Then someone will naturally get restless and jump out to tell us the answer."
Without another word, he raised his hand and threw the Pumpkin Bomb at the glass curtain wall of the building.
Boom!
The explosion erupted in mid-air, and an orange fireball engulfed large sections of glass. Shards flew everywhere, and the building's alarms immediately went off.
But just as the Pumpkin Bomb exploded, a wall of sand rose from inside the building, blocking most of the shockwave. Flint Marco, the Sandman, stepped out of the window, surrounded by swirling yellow sand, his expression grave.
" Norman Osborne," the Sandman's voice was hoarse, "I won't let you in."
"Who are you? Did you come here with us?"
Green Goblin paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, "You've been subdued by them? What a spineless coward!"
The Sandman said calmly, "I just want to go home to see my daughter! I don't have time to mess around with you, I just want to go back!"
With a roar, the Green Goblin swooped down in his glider, launching several Pumpkin Bomb simultaneously.
"Then don't blame me for being impolite!"
Just then, four metal arms extended from the side of the building, precisely knocking the Pumpkin Bomb away one by one. Otto Octavius stood on the building's terrace, the four mechanical arms spread behind him, his gaze behind his goggles calm and resolute.
" Norman, it's been a long time."
The Green Goblin's laughter abruptly stopped. " Otto Octavius? You've been subdued by them too? That's disappointing."
Otto said slowly, "I wasn't subdued. I simply found myself again. Norman, it's time for you to wake up. That thing inside you is devouring you."
"Devour me?"
The Green Goblin abruptly ripped off his mask, revealing Norman Osborn's twisted, crazed face. "It gave me power! It made me stronger! I control it, not the other way around!"
Tobey stepped out from behind Otto, looking at the Green Goblin with a complex expression. In his universe, Norman Osborn was his best friend Harley's father, and also his most hated enemy. This man had died before his eyes.
Tobey's voice was very soft, " Mr. Osborn, stop."
Peter Parker?
Green Goblin stared at Tobey, a crazed smile flashing in his eyes. "It's you again. You persistent brat. You've been hindering my plans all along, and now you've followed me here?"
Tobey clenched his fist. "I don't want to kill you. I just want to stop you."
"Stop me? With just a few of you?"
Green Goblin roared with laughter, " Venom, attack together! Tear them all apart! Let's make this city even more chaotic!"
Venom growled, and its Symbiote tentacles suddenly extended, lunging towards Otto and Tobey.
Otto's four mechanical arms simultaneously met the attack, the metal claws and black tentacles colliding violently in mid-air.
The robotic arm is incredibly powerful; each swing can smash the tentacles to pieces. However, the Symbiote has an even stronger regenerative ability, and the severed tentacles instantly grow back.
Tobey yelled, " The Symbiote is afraid of sound waves and high temperatures! Otto, use the electric sparks from the robotic arm!"
Otto understood, and the claws of the two mechanical arms rubbed together simultaneously, generating intense electric sparks. The blue arcs of Venom struck the symbiote's tentacles, Symbiote to let out a painful roar, and the tentacles instantly withered.
"It works!"
Otto increased the power output, and all four robotic arms simultaneously released electric arcs, forcing Venom back several steps.
But Green Goblin wasn't idle. He swooped down in his glider, hurling several Pumpkin Bomb at Sandman. Sandman used his sand walls to defend himself, but the intense heat of the explosions instantly vitrified the sand, greatly reducing its defensive capabilities.
" Flint, step back!" Vulture Adrian Toomes leaped out of the building, his mechanical wings unfolding, intercepting Green Goblin's glider in mid-air. "I'll handle him!"
The Vulture, using its mechanical wings, engaged in a fierce aerial battle with the Green Goblin's glider. The two figures darted between buildings, the sounds of metal clashing echoing throughout the air.
For a time, a fierce battle broke out outside the SSC headquarters building. Otto fought Venom, Sandman defended the building, Vulture intercepted Green Goblin from the air, and Tobey provided support from various locations, using his Silk to disrupt the enemy's movements.
But the Green Goblin has absolutely no bottom line, constantly attacking ordinary agents.
Pumpkin Bomb continued to explode, leaving the building's exterior walls riddled with craters. The Sandman's sand was vitrifying under the intense heat, weakening its defenses. The Vulture's mechanical wings were also slashed by the Green Goblin's blade, causing it to slow down.
"This can't go on."
As Tobey shot out Silk to entangle the Venom's tentacles, he shouted to Otto, "We have to take care of the Green Goblin first; his firepower is the strongest!"
"I know!"
Otto's four robotic arms worked together to temporarily repel Venom, "But his glider is too fast, I can't catch it!"
Just then, two figures in red and blue sped towards them from a distance.
Little Peter and Garfield arrived.
"Here we come!" Little Peter shouted, his right hand forming a large net of nanomaterials, which he then sent flying towards the Green Goblin's glider canopy.
Green Goblin sneered, and the glider suddenly pulled up, dodging the net. But Garfield had already circled above him, and several Silk shot out precisely, sticking to the glider's wings.
"Come down!" Garfield pulled hard, and the glider lost its balance and plummeted towards the ground.
At the last moment, Green Goblin jumped into the glider, tumbling several times before landing on the building's terrace. He watched as the three Spider-Man, Doctor Octopus, Sandman, and Vulture surrounded him, the maniacal smile on his face gradually fading, replaced by a grim and furious expression.
"Three Spider-Man?"
Green Goblin scanned the three Spider-Man in their red and blue suits. "Interesting. So what if there are three Spider-Man? I, Norman Osborn, have never feared anyone!"
He pulled out the last few Pumpkin Bomb from his waist and was about to detonate them.
" JARVIS!" Little Peter shouted.
"The sonic defense system has been activated."
The hidden speakers in the SSC building activated simultaneously, unleashing powerful sound waves that swept towards Green Goblin and Venom. Venom was hit hardest; the Symbiote trembled violently in the sound waves, letting out painful howls, and black matter began to peel off Eddie's body.
"No..."
Eddie's voice came from beneath the Symbiote, filled with pain and struggle. "No... don't leave me..."
" Eddie Block!" Little Peter didn't back down; instead, he took a step forward. "Do you remember your name?"
Eddie paused for a moment.
"You remember! Think about it, look at what you've done recently, is there anything you would have done before?"
The black substance writhed wildly on Eddie's skin, and the Symbiote roared through the sound waves.
Eddie raised his hand and reached for the black mass peeling off from the ground.
"No..."
His fingers froze in mid-air, trembling violently.
The Symbiote seemed to understand, and lunged at them one last time.
Little Peter glanced at the clump of black substance on the ground that was still wriggling slightly.
Eddie looked up at the group, his eyes red, his voice low. "What right do you have?!"
Little Peter used Silk to bind the Symbiote. The thing moved slightly inside the web.
"You dare to act recklessly on my turf!"
Before he could finish speaking, several Silk had already wrapped around Eddie's wrists and ankles, firmly pinning him to the ground.
Now, only Green Goblin is left.
Norman Osborn stood in the center of the terrace, looking at everyone around him—the three Spider-Man, Doctor Octopus, Sandman, Vulture, and the separated Venom. He knew he had lost.
But he won't admit defeat.
Hahaha...
The Green Goblin suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard he almost fell over. "You think you've won? Norman Osborn will never lose!"
He slammed the button on his wrist, and the glider sprang up from the ground, flying towards him. He was going to escape.
"Stop him!" Tobey shouted.
Otto's four mechanical arms shot out simultaneously, precisely wrapping around the glider's wings. Sandman blocked the glider's exhaust with sand, Vulture swooped down from the sky, his mechanical wings pressing down on the glider's fuselage. Three Spider-Man simultaneously shot out Silk, binding Green Goblin completely.
Green Goblin struggled desperately, but with the combined strength of the six men, he was completely unable to move.
"Let me go! You idiots!"
The Green Goblin roared, his eyes bloodshot beneath the mask, "I am Norman Osborn! I am the Green Goblin!"
Otto walked up to him, removed his mask, revealing a weary and crazed face. "You are Norman Osborn. But you are also a pitiful man."
Norman looked at Otto, the madness in his eyes gradually fading, replaced by a sense of bewilderment and exhaustion. He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but in the end he only sighed and stopped struggling.
The battle is over.
Sandman, Vulture, Doctor Octopus, Electro, Green Goblin, and Venom have all been captured.
The rooftop terrace of the SSC headquarters building.
The night was deep, and the lights of New York stretched out beneath my feet, still bustling and dazzling. The battle seemed to have left little trace in the city, except for the damage to the SSC building, which testified to the fierce fighting that had just taken place.
Three Spider-Man- Men stood side by side on the edge of the terrace, looking down at the city below.
Little Peter's left hand was still bare; the damage to his nano-armor would take time to heal. His face showed no fatigue, only a relieved ease.
"Finally, I've found them all." He let out a soft breath.
"Yes."
Tobey gazed into the distance, his voice tinged with emotion, "To be honest, I never imagined I'd be fighting alongside two other Spider-Man."
"We are too."
Little Peter turned his head and looked at his two counterparts from different universes. "Thank you. Without you, I couldn't have done any of this by myself."
"No need for thanks." Tobey smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "We're all Spider-Man. Spider-Man should help each other."
"Moreover, you've shown us a different possibility."
Garfield chimed in, "In your universe, you have SSC, you have so many friends. You're luckier than us."
Little Peter smiled. "Luck is also a kind of responsibility. By the way, Doctor Otto said he could help me design new nanomaterial formulations. He said Tony's nanotechnology still has a lot of room for improvement."
"He is indeed a genius."
Tobey nodded. "In his original world, he had also achieved great things. It's just that something went wrong."
Just then, a golden portal opened on the terrace. Strange stepped out of the portal, looked at the people on the terrace, and nodded slightly.
"Looks like you've got it all sorted out." Strange's tone remained characteristically calm, like a mage. "All the extraterrestrial lifeforms are here?"
"They're all in the containment area below," Little Peter said. " Sandman, Vulture, Doctor Octopus, Electro, Green Goblin, Venom, six in total."
Strange raised his hand, the golden compass appearing in his palm. "Very good. The situation is temporarily stable, but not completely resolved. I will prepare the repatriation ceremony to send them back to their original universes one by one. Until then, you must keep a close eye on them and prevent any further trouble."
"Leave it to us."
Strange nodded and turned to leave. After taking a couple of steps, he suddenly stopped and glanced back at the three Spider-Man.
"Oh, right."
His tone carried a rare hint of approval. "The three Spider-Man working together were much more efficient than I expected. I barely had to lift a finger and you'd all taken care of them."
After saying that, he stepped into the portal and disappeared in the golden light.
Silence returned to the terrace.
Little Peter looked at the spot where Strange had disappeared, a slight smile playing on his lips. He turned to the two Spider-Man beside him and suddenly laughed.
"What's wrong?" Tobey asked.
"It's nothing."
Little Peter shook his head, "I just feel that I used to think I was too young to take on so much responsibility and wanted a more stable life. Now I realize that's not the case."
Garfield laughed too, "Responsibility and life are never contradictory."
A night breeze swept across the terrace, ruffling the three people's hair. Below them, New York City shone brightly, with cars flowing like a river and voices echoing like a tide.
This city has weathered countless crises, but it has always managed to recover.
Looking at the lights at his feet, Little Peter suddenly realized that this was probably the thing he had never understood before.
He doesn't need to choose between " Spider-Man " and " Peter Parker ".
The city needed him, but never demanded perfection from him.
