I'm working on Marvel's Spider-Man in American comics.

Chapter 249 Perfect World
After they arrived at their designated floor, they saw Quentin Baker, the director, who had just come out of his office, received project approval, and was excitedly talking to himself. It is said that this special effects genius has been sponsored by Parker Industries and will direct, write, and star in a movie with explosive special effects.

"Thriller, Rhino, Mysterio, they all achieved their wishes, or rather, the wishes that Peter knew about."

As Cindy spoke, she approached Peter's office. After knocking on the door and receiving no response, she used her super strength to kick the door open.

There was no one in the office.

“I can feel Peter is here… but he’s not.”

Gwen walked up to Peter's desk without any surprise and found that it only had a photo of him with Uncle Ben and Aunt May, and a photo of him with Harry Amadeus.

What about mine?
"Ha, it seems he has no plans to date."

Gwen put down the photos of Peter and his best friends, and Cindy glanced over as well, then asked with some concern, "Does he not like girls?"

“…You’re overthinking it. I even saw him collect Anne Hathaway posters.” Gwen shrugged. As his childhood friend, she was certain Peter’s sexuality was normal: “He just doesn’t have time to think about dating right now or…”

"Or he doesn't know who to choose."

Gwen muttered something under her breath. Cindy glanced at her, and the two continued their search. Scorpion was still a private investigator here, but he had already been sentenced to death for murder. In addition, Gwen even saw Cal King, who had died in a car accident.

"Unbelievable, Peter actually hates Cal King that much."

"Didn't he tell you?"

Gwen paused for a moment, then asked incredulously, "You mean Peter is connected to Cal King's disappearance?"

“You should know that Cal King put that spider on Peter’s neck. Peter swatted it away, and then the spider bit my ankle.” Cindy told Gwen what happened: “I stepped on the spider and killed it, but Cal King picked it up and then ate it. It turned into some kind of spider swarm monster. It ate a lot of people and wanted to eat Peter and take his place.”

"...I didn't know about this at all."

Gwen spoke with a hint of annoyance, not because Peter hadn't told her, but because she was worried about Peter's condition. No matter how wicked Cal King was, he was still Peter and Gwen's classmate from junior high and high school; they were somewhat familiar with each other. To kill someone you know…

"In the end, I killed him."

"Eh?"

Seemingly understanding what Gwen was about to say, Cindy explained the situation beforehand. Although the details differed significantly from what Gwen had anticipated, it was indeed the truth. The two fell silent, continuing their search for possible clues.

If Peter isn't here right now, then where would he be? Ultimately, Cindy's intuition was clear: Peter Parker should be right here.

Suddenly, both of them heard footsteps and hid at the same time—after opening the window, they hid behind the wall and listened to the footsteps as they entered Peter's office. Then, they made a rare sound that was almost unheard of: "It's strange, Mr. Parker is clearly not here, but the office door is open."

"Who is that?" Gwen, who didn't know much about the supervillains Peter had fought, naturally assumed that the other person was a supervillain who might have been reformed by Peter. However, to Gwen's surprise, Cindy also looked confused. She didn't know who this new guy was or how he got out. After listening for a while, the two of them decided to peek through the window to see who it was.

It was a middle-aged doctor who wasn't very tall, a bit short. Cindy only realized who it was after she saw him: "That looks like Otto Octavia."

"Who is that?"

Venom provided the answer perfectly.

[Dr. Octopus is an evil scientist who researches symbiotes; he's purely bad.]

Well, at least Peter thought the other person wasn't beyond redemption, and even arranged a position for him.

and many more……

While Cindy was still observing, Gwen jumped out the window, startling Otto Octavia: "My God, where...where did you guys come from, some new superheroes?"

"Uh, yes, we're looking for Spider-Man. We've located him here, Doctor."

Gwen smiled and spoke to the portly doctor in front of her, casually pointing to Peter's office chair: "But we can't find him. He seems to be here, yet he doesn't seem to be here at all."

Otto Octavia adjusted his glasses.

"Alright, miss, come with me... Oh my goodness!"

Cindy flipping over again startled Otto. He adjusted his glasses, clutched his heart, and led the two Spider-Women to his laboratory. Looking at the standard and expensive equipment inside, Gwen leaned close to Cindy and asked uncertainly, "Are you sure this is really the world that everyone's soul longs for?"

"That's what the little golden statue says."

"This place is so realistic... I can't create such a realistic lab."

While muttering complaints, Gwen awaited an answer from Otto, or rather, from the Doctor Octopus in Peter's memory. After careful consideration, he explained, "Well, after listening to your descriptions, I did some calculations, and the conclusion is that if Spider-Man suddenly disappeared, then according to current reasoning, he wasn't in a quantum state. Otherwise, even if you couldn't touch him, you should have been able to see him."

"But we can't find him, Doctor."

“That’s exactly what I wanted to say.” Otto Octavia adjusted his glasses again. “Your perception of Spider-Man transcends space and time, Miss Silk. Neither the barriers between the multiverses nor any other obstacles can prevent you from perceiving him, so your perception is correct; he is undoubtedly there. But the problem is that your perception only involves the three dimensions of space, not time. Therefore, Spider-Man must be in a different time. What you can perceive is Spider-Man from the future or the past.”

Cindy and Gwen exchanged a glance and instantly understood what had happened.

Peter is fighting against the conqueror, Kang.
