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

Chapter 552 The Opportunity to Win
The first day of Kamar-Taj's resistance against Kang.

People seem to have a habit of putting everything off until the last day. This applies to villains who plan to fight like dogs, and it applies to good guys too. Everyone knows Strange is bearing the brunt of Kang and the Cosmic Cube's full-scale attack, but everyone is also prepared to wait until the very end to attack Kang.

In short, let Strange suffer, and I'll take the blame.

After all, this was a perfect opportunity to distract Kang, and Ghost Rider used this time to awaken even more people to join him. Because Peter and his team carefully analyzed the personality traits of each candidate, they ensured that they wouldn't be burned to death by the Judgment Eye.

For example, Tony Stark hasn't been awakened by the Penance Eye yet. Everyone agrees that if things aren't handled correctly, the Penance Eye could easily burn Tony to death.

“If we could bring Thor and the others in, it would definitely put more pressure on Kang. But the problem is, we still don’t know how Kang has separated myth from reality.”

The known way Peter knew was what Anansi did, completely turning his cosmic myths into stories and lies, but this was clearly not what Kahn did; his understanding of the divine was not as profound.

So, at this new Fantastic Four gathering, Peter spoke with a hint of helplessness, while Hulk, while stuffing himself with popcorn, asked, "Even doing this, we still can't beat Kang."

Peter understood what Hulk meant. Kang's most powerful, even his only, weapon was the Cosmic Cube. But conversely, as long as Kang held the Cosmic Cube, he was virtually invincible.

So they have to figure out a way to fight against the Cosmic Cube.

"Leave this to me."

Peter spoke unexpectedly, then shrugged amidst everyone's confusion and curiosity: "I can't guarantee whether I can really do it, but I'm going to give it a try."

“The Cosmic Cube is not without its flaws. We have already learned one of them: the Cosmic Cube can only modify the present, not the past.”

As for the other one, Peter isn't entirely sure yet, but it's pretty close.

So, what everyone needs to do now is—

"Let's take a day off."

Peter looked at his new teammates and smiled helplessly: "We don't know if we can win tomorrow, we don't know what our world will become, we don't even know if Strange can last long enough."

"But the die is cast, and we have no choice but to go. Tomorrow we will head to the 31st century to confront Kang."

The other three people looked at Peter in silence, then nodded in unison, and Peter breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't stop Jessica's investigation because she couldn't find any solid evidence either. Deadpool's time-travel device was taken from Deadpool in another world, so Kang didn't know that and therefore didn't delete it.

That's why Gwen was able to steal the equipment and return it.

Thinking this, Peter returned home. He checked his text messages and saw that Aunt May and Uncle Ben were also working overtime today and wouldn't be able to come back in time.

After a moment of silence, he sat down in a chair in the restaurant and picked up his phone.

“Kovak…”

That's right, Kovac was the key to Peter's victory. Combining Kovac's strange mental state at the time with the information he revealed, Peter came to a reasonable deduction.

That is, Kovacs, who returned to the past, was not a complete Cosmic Cube, but a broken one. This can also explain why his mental state was so bad, because he was incomplete.

In other words, the Cosmic Cube that travels back in time is destined to be incomplete, and only in this way can it traverse time and space. And only an incomplete Cosmic Cube can travel through time. And the key to all of this is the birth of Kovacs.

Kovac is the living embodiment of the Cosmic Cube. According to information previously revealed by Marvel, the more times the Cosmic Cube is used, the greater the possibility that it will awaken its own personality.

Once the Cosmic Cube gives birth to the will of Kovac, Peter is confident that he can bring Kovac to his side.

But there's still one problem...

Peter vaguely reviewed his memories; he couldn't recall if Kovacs had foreshadowed his fate, but Kovacs certainly didn't seem to have said whether Spider-Man survived.

"In other words, there's no way to be sure if this is the last day of my life... It really is... a bit disorienting."

Peter said with a hint of helplessness, then picked up his phone again. For a moment, he thought that he should leave no regrets, but he was still stunned.

Before Kang launched his reign, Peter and Cindy had a conversation where, in order to strengthen Cindy's memory and help her find herself in the new world, Peter kissed her.

Then, in a similar situation, Peter kissed Gwen in order to get her help and to wake her up.

Both times Peter initiated the contact, which was unprecedented, but it also brought a problem. Peter looked at the number on his phone, hesitated for a long time, and then sighed helplessly.

"Let's assume this is the last day of your life, Peter Parker. So, what are you going to do?"

Sometimes he really thought Johnny Storm was right. Since hesitating and not making a choice would make both girls sad, why not just be together?

Yeah, with two female Spider-Men, I'm bound to die.

"Okay, let's find an excuse, oops, a reason... to call them all over..."

Peter took out his phone again, paused for a moment, hesitated, and then shook his head.

No, no, no, let's think of a solution first.

Peter did have things to discuss with them. For example, he didn't want the two of them to go to the front line to fight Kang, because it would be almost completely useless. Facing Kang, who possessed the Cosmic Cube, ordinary superpowered people were no different from ordinary people and would be defeated in one move by the Cosmic Cube.

Therefore, Peter did not want the two of them to go to the battlefield, as they were of no use.

This is a good excuse, and it would also give us something to talk about in the early stages of the conversation. Peter thought about this for a while and then shook his head.

What am I thinking? I might be going to the battlefield tomorrow, and I'm thinking about this kind of thing.

Or perhaps, this matter should be resolved here.

Peter sighed and then sent messages to Cindy and Gwen at the same time, saying he had something to tell them.

　Due to practical reasons, updates from October to December will be adjusted to two updates per month. We will adjust it back to the original schedule in January, depending on the situation.

　　However, I will make up for the missed chapters in October. There are a total of 28 chapters, which can be considered as three chapters a day in October...
