Chapter 217: Does Selfishness Mean Wrong?
"I don't remember my mother much, I only know that her name is Helen, and I know that my father loved her very much, and then she died."
Gwen sat on the dome of St. John's Cathedral, gazing at the familiar and strange city in the night.
"I attended my first funeral when I didn't even know my name."
Gwen said faintly to Spider-Man, who had been silent behind him: "Some children, growing up, think that death will only come to other people. ”
"But I'm not, if there's any constant law in the multiverse, it's that death always favors someone who becomes Spider-Man."
Gwen asks Spider-Man, "Aren't heroes and warriors supposed to win?" ”
Spider-Man didn't know how to answer Gwen, he thought for a moment and said, "Yes, we paid the price, needless to say, we gave everything and we had to pay everything." ”
"But that's too expensive, isn't it?"
Gwen exhaled and said to Spider-Man, "Actually, I often dream that I have lost Peter and my father, as if something exists in the underworld, telling me that this is the price of becoming a Spider-Woman. ”
Gwen didn't touch the cobweb nodes of the parallel time and space at this time, and she didn't know the fate of all Spider-Men in many parallel time and space, but she still faintly sensed something.
"Yes, it's too costly."
Spider-Man's tone became low.
"I also lost Uncle Ben."
He sat down beside Gwen, looked at the night sky, and said to her, "I let the thief go, but they shot Uncle Ben and he lay in a pool of blood, and I couldn't do anything at that time." ”
Gwen was a little surprised to hear the other party talk about Uncle Ben's death.
Uncle Ben of this plane. Dead?
"But I also understand one thing, and that is."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was picked up by Gwen, and the two of them said together, "With great power comes great responsibility."
"Uh-huh, it seems that the two of us have the same beliefs other than spider sense."
Spider-Man shrugged his shoulders, "After I lost Uncle Ben, I didn't close my eyes for three days, but then I understood that the first person a hero saved had to be himself. ”
"Gwen, you're scared, aren't you?"
Spider-Man asked Gwen.
Bending her knees around her legs, Gwen nodded.
"I'm afraid of these things, these things of yours repeating themselves in the people I love."
"Maybe I gave up being a hero, maybe I could have avoided a tragedy, but this is too selfish."
Spider-Man nodded, "Yes, that's selfish. ”
Gwen nodded frustratedly, "Okay. ”
But Spider-Man's words suddenly changed, "But does selfishness mean being wrong?" ”
Gwen looked up, her surprised gaze at Spider-Man.
Spider-Man looked up at the night sky overhead, "The world always needs to be saved, there is always someone who needs help, selfishness does not mean that we will avoid fighting, sometimes we have to stop and temporarily take off our heroism." ”
"Temporary?"
Gwen whispered a repetition of what the other had said.
"Yes, for the time being, there are only so many TV programs that can be watched in this world, if you go all out all the time and watch all the TV shows at once, won't the days ahead be too boring?"
Spider-Man talks about his favorite TV shows.
But he quickly changed the subject and asked Gwen, "Gwen, can you tell me about the world you live in?" There's a Peter there too. Parker, huh? ”
"Yes, I live in a world that is very similar to this parallel time and space, New York, the Big Apple, there are superheroes, there are supervillains, my father is a senior police officer, he loves me, but because of my business, he is now an ordinary police officer, but it also means that he doesn't have to pounce on his work every day."
Gwen tells the other about her world.
"I also formed a band with Betty and Growley called 'Mary Janes,' and by the way, MJ was still the lead singer, but she's out of the band now, and Betty is the lead singer."
"As for my Peter."
Gwen exhaled, "At first he was a nerd and was often bullied by 'Lightning' and 'King Kong', but then one day, he suddenly became very powerful. ”
Gwen said as she looked at Spider-Man, "Did you think he was bitten by a spider?" ”
"No, not actually, because I had been bitten by a spider at the Osborne Science Fair the other day, and Peter had become reticent and resistant to human contact."
Spider-Man nodded, "Let me guess how the story ends, whether he's infected with a virus or injected with some virus serum." ”
"How do you know?!"
Gwen asked in surprise.
"Ahem. Because I've dealt with a lot of similar villains in this world. ”
Spider-Man said after coughing.
"But my Peter didn't become a villain."
Gwen shrugged her shoulders, "When I met a villain in the city in a mask that I couldn't handle, he was the one who helped me, even though I didn't know it was him at first. ”
"Do you care about him?"
"Of course, I can't imagine what my life will be like after losing him."
"It's like I can't lose MJ."
The blonde Spider-Man smiled heartily at Gwen.
Gwen continued, "Later, I met a female snitch named Black Cat who stole a stone tablet, and Peter and I continued to track it down and found that it was an item belonging to the Fisk Group."
Hearing Gwen talk about "Fisk Group and Kim", Spider-Man suddenly interrupted her.
"Wait, you mentioned Kim Jon, and her wife is still unconscious?"
"Yes."
Gwen looked at each other suspiciously, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"The wife and son of this world are dead."
Spider-Man seemed to have noticed something and stood up violently.
"I have something to do with me, one time when I was investigating an illegal arms trafficking ring, I found Kim Ji, we had a big fight in his building, his wife and son witnessed the fight between the two of us, they were frightened, they ran out of the Fisk building, only to be in a car accident, both of them were killed."
Listening to the other party's story, Gwen asked him in surprise, "Why did the two of them run away?" ”
"I don't know, maybe Kim has never been so ruthless and crazy in front of his wife and children, maybe. They freaked out. ”
Spider-Man said to Gwen in a hurried tone:
"Maybe. Perhaps all of this has something to do with the gold of this world, and the gap in time and space through which you pass is caused by him. ”
"I don't understand, why did he create the space-time rift?"
Gwen asked Spider-Man in confusion.
"Just like you lost your Peter, I lost MJ, since there are parallel time and space in this world, the first thing we think about after losing our lover is not to try to get each other back?"
Gwen shook her head, "I wouldn't do that, there may be tens of thousands of Peters in countless parallel universes. Parker, but I only have one Peter. ”
"We all think so, but what if Kim isn't crazy? Sometimes, emotions can torment people into madness. ”
As he spoke, he put on his mask.
"I'll have to check out the Fisk Mansion in Kimji, maybe I'll find something there."
"Whoosh!"
Spider-Man shoots out the spider silk and swings into the air.
Seeing the other party leaving, Gwen also hurried to catch up.
The two of them shot out spider silk and swung in the air as if they were chasing me towards the Fisk Building.
On the other side, Peter grabbed the middle-aged Parker's neck and controlled the other party.
Miles, who was watching in amazement, covered his eyes.
"Well, I knew this old man who looked like a terrible, unemployed man must be unreliable."
"Ho-ho.!"
The middle-aged Parker, who was pinched by the throat and couldn't speak, made painful noises in his mouth, and struggled with his hands and feet.
But no matter how he struggled, the other party's hand controlled him like an iron tong.
A powerful and dangerous abyss-like momentum emanated from Peter, making him miserable.
The Spider-Man on the other side is definitely much stronger than himself.
Middle-aged Parker quickly came to the conclusion that he was startled.
Miles on the other side was not idle.
"OK, calm down, calm down, I have to do something, maybe there's something around here."
He nervously self-suggested, his eyes wandering from side to side, hoping to find something to help the old man, Spider-Man.
But what made him desperate was that there were no stones around, not even a thick grass stalk.
"Well, he's dead!"
Miles said in despair.
Peter didn't just break the other man's neck.
was probing the other party's body information, and the other party suddenly exploded, and his strength increased in an instant.
"Ho!"
Breaking free of Peter's grasp, he shoots spider silk at Peter.
At the same time, the wrist shoots back the spider silk, grabbing a tall tree in the distance, and carrying itself away from the place.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”
The silk was shot at him at great speed, and he himself moved behind Peter.
The middle-aged Spider-Man, who maximized his agility, saw that the spider silk he shot was easily dodged by the other party again, and immediately used the spider silk to pull the tombstone and slammed it at Peter.
"Boom!"
The stone tombstone was cut off in an instant by the blade alienated from Peter's arm.
At the same time, Peter's other wrist shot out spider silk, wrapped around the opponent's body, and slammed into the ground.
A piercing "boom" sounded, and the ground shook slightly.
Seeing Peter easily knock out the middle-aged Spider-Man, Miles swallowed.
This Spider-Man. It seems to be unusually powerful!
The middle-aged Parker, who hit the ground, moaned from his mouth.
It was like falling apart, and the back was in unbearable pain.
He even suspected that his spine was broken.
Suffering from the pain and gasping for breath, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with his body.
"Mmmmmm
Middle-aged Parker's body suddenly trembled slightly, followed by colorful "mosaics" attached to it.
With a muffled sound coming out of his mouth, his body flickered and moved to another ground as the "mosaic" attached to the surface of his body flickered and reconstructed.
With a "bang", the other party's body fell heavily to the ground, panting for breath.
On the other side, Peter stared at what was happening in front of him, his expression unchanged.
"Flickering" is caused by the obvious rejection of the body that is not in its own dimension and is contaminated with "mosaics".
He himself had this reaction at first.
However, due to the strong healing and adaptability of the black light virus in his body, coupled with the fact that he may have traveled through multiple dimensions, his mental power is strong, and this "flickering" will not pose any threat to him.
"Hey, are you okay? Spider-Man? ”
Miles asked cautiously.
"No, not at all, the atoms in my body are resisting me coming to this wrong dimension."
Spit out the mud that accidentally stuck to his mouth, and the middle-aged Parker said unceremoniously to Miles.
"Alright, that's the end of the bickering."
Peter walked slowly and said to the two of them.
"You said your name was Peter. B. Parker? ”
Peter asked the other man.
"Yes, that's my name."
The middle-aged Parker clutched his chest and smiled at Peter's flattering smile, "I think. I've got to get out of the game, I mean, maybe there's some misunderstanding between you and him. I guess I'd better not get involved. ”
Miles next to him saw that the middle-aged Spider-Man wanted to slip away by himself, and he was immediately anxious.
