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

Chapter 587 Even Peter didn't have it.
When Gwen and Peter communicated, Peter was startled—because he had forgotten about Gwen and was still thinking about "how to deal with the symbiote network by anti-Venom," but he was still clueless.

As a result, Gwen essentially deactivated her powers abruptly and then sent a message to Peter.

“Peter? I see slaughter heading your way, slaughter in this universe.”

Startled by Gwen, Peter did a backflip to create distance between himself and the Spider-Man symbiote, leaving the latter looking at him with confusion and surprise, wondering what he was doing. As Peter distanced himself, he remembered Gwen's mission and immediately began to ask.

"Where's Mysterio's helmet? Is it still useful?"

"It doesn't seem to work. I tried it on the scorpions and rhinos in this universe and found that they had the same effect as when there was no symbiote."

Peter paused for a moment upon hearing this, then asked in return, "What about the regular symbiote? Have you tried it?!"

"Are you communicating with someone else?!"

The symbiote Spider-Man transformed his hands into claws and charged at Peter. Peter quickly dodged, leaping lightly onto a rooftop. Seeing the symbiote Spider-Man's movements, he knew the other was going to catch up, so he swiftly dodged between the skyscrapers.

Meanwhile, Gwen seemed a little confused by Peter's question: "No, what's wrong? Is there a difference?"

Do scorpions and rhinoceroses have their own consciousness?

"Yes, I even overheard them talking."

"That means it wasn't the symbiote controlling them, but rather they using the symbiote to enhance themselves—it must be the Spider-Man of this universe interfering."
As Peter spoke, he spun and leaped in the air, then stabbed out a symbiote tentacle. It collided with the tentacle that Spider-Man was stabbing at him in mid-air before quickly creating distance again. At the same time, he said to Gwen, "What you need to do is not find these special guys, but go find those ordinary infected people. Their perspective is that of the symbiotes."

"The instruction manual doesn't mention this."

"Shouldn't you have tried testing on the ordinary infected people first?"

"Who are you communicating with?!"

The three channels merged instantly, and the symbiote Spider-Man leaped into the air, his hands instantly expanding in size. He delivered a powerful punch to Peter, slamming him to the ground before landing himself as well. Peter, however, was completely unharmed; he didn't even stumble upon the ground, landing lightly without touching a speck of dust.

"Whatever you were planning with whom or what you were planning, it's all over now."

As Spider-Man spoke, he finally got his "cheat code." The scarlet Carnage rushed towards him, but he grabbed it by the neck. Then, he pulled Cletus from this universe's body into Carnage's body, snapped Cletus's neck, and pinned Carnage to his own body.

Soon, he transformed from a pure black symbiote Spider-Man into a symbiote Spider-Man with a black base and scarlet spider patterns. "I have to say, if only Carnage in my universe were this easy to deal with. And are you serious? To fight an enemy capable of disintegrating symbiotes, you actually chose to use another symbiote to enhance yourself?"

The other party didn't waste any words, but rushed over even faster—the original symbiote on his body was not Venom, but a derivative of a torn-off part of Venom, and Carnage was even more powerful than Venom, which finally allowed him to compete with Peter in terms of basic data.

However, the opponent still hadn't solved the fundamental problem: he couldn't penetrate the anti-venom defense. This led the symbiote Spider-Man to begin to wonder: this Spider-Man had an absolute advantage over him, so what was he waiting for? Was he still planning to talk his way out of things?

The reason the symbiote Spider-Man had this question was because Gwen once again activated her powers and went to test on ordinary infected individuals.

She used Mysterio's helmet to quickly influence a single symbiote, and then watched as more and more signals appeared on the screen, one after another, almost endlessly. The consciousnesses of these people appeared simultaneously in the same medium and shared all the perceptions they received.

Their senses formed a map of signals existing in their consciousness, without any concrete image. They could feel the rapid expansion and decay of each symbiote, just as each drop of water controlled the ebb and flow of the tide—not a single consciousness controlling all the bodies, but countless consciousnesses simultaneously operating a giant web.

"This is the hive consciousness of the symbiote... Each consciousness has its own perceptions and characteristics, even thinking abilities, but it is not independent, corresponding to type forty-seven in the instruction manual. These scientists really thought of all the possibilities."

Gwen muttered to herself as she flipped through the user manual, then quickly began her intervention: "In that case, let's first try inputting incorrect perceptual information into a single individual..."

The information sensed by a symbiote was altered by Mysterio's helmet. Gwen could see from the reaction device on the helmet that the symbiote's thought network had experienced a momentary visual distortion.

"Okay, turn to the relevant section, page 734... Didn't the person who wrote this consider users with reading difficulties? Or is it that illiterate people aren't suited to be superheroes? Just kidding... I feel like my grades are definitely going to drop next semester. How does Peter manage to skip classes so often and still maintain stable grades?"

More and more symbiotes are experiencing erroneous information. Although they are the hosts controlled by the symbiote's mind, their sensory organs still depend on the human. First, each of them sees the same illusion, to the point that the visual correction of the illusion in the symbiote's consciousness network exceeds that of the normal.

Next, following the instructions, Gwen began to send different illusions to different symbiotes, and then she deactivated her powers.

At the same instant, Spider-Man, the symbiote who was fighting Peter, suddenly paused, then covered his head and swayed. He felt that the world had become very strange, full of... paradoxes and fallacies.

"You...what did you do?"

"It seems Gwen's side succeeded. You accepted someone's gift, forming a consciousness network with all the symbiotes, but also creating a weakness for yourself."

As Peter spoke, he quickly moved closer to the other man and punched him in the face: "I don't know which of those thousands of hypothetical scenarios you've encountered, but I'm pretty sure you're in trouble, buddy."
