The only player in the Marvel universe

Chapter 144 Spider-Men are attracted to each other.

[NPC: Peter Parker]

[Status: Dimension synchronization in progress]

"Dimension synchronization in progress?"

Du Mu was somewhat puzzled by this situation.

Just then, the air around Peter suddenly began to distort, and an irregular black spot appeared out of thin air.

This black dot, which was initially only the size of a coin, expanded in an instant into a two-character portal with colorful particles shimmering at its edges. Blue-purple energy sparks constantly burst from its edges, and inside the portal was a bottomless void, as if leading to some unknown place.

"What is this?"

Peter instinctively took a half step back, his spider-sense frantically warning him.

At the same time, Du Mu heard a system notification sound.

[Special instance entrance detected]

Players will receive generous rewards based on their dungeon exploration progress and quest completion rate after clearing the dungeon.

[Entry requirements for this instance: You must possess the item 'Spider Totem']

[Number of participants in the instance: 0/1]

Please note that saving and loading are not possible in special instances; proceed with caution.

It turned out to be a wild dungeon entrance.

Du Mu was quite surprised, and this instance also had specific entry conditions, seemingly a special instance specifically for Peter.

Just as he was checking the system information, the quantum portal suddenly twisted violently and unleashed a terrifying suction force. Peter was pulled into the quantum portal by an invisible force, his feet leaving two deep marks on the ground.

"Peter!"

Upon seeing this, Harry immediately lunged forward and grabbed Peter's arm, while Peter simultaneously shot out spider silk towards the surrounding buildings in an attempt to secure himself.

But their efforts were in vain in the face of the powerful dimensional pull. One by one, the spider silk broke, Harry was dragged forward, and Peter's body was being pulled little by little into the quantum portal.

Just as the two were about to give up, Du Mu suddenly took out a small spider sculpture from the game's inventory.

[Props: Spider Totem (The symbol of Spider-Man. With this, even if you look like a goblin, have four tentacles on your back, and a lizard tail, you are still Spider-Man.)]

The moment Du Mu pulled out the spider totem, the suction of the quantum portal suddenly stopped, as if it had frozen.

Quantum portal: What the heck? Why are there two Spider-Men here?

Since there's only one slot available for the instance, the quantum portal has no idea which instance to teleport to.

But Du Mu was not about to let this opportunity pass. He pulled Peter back from mid-air, and Peter rolled twice on the ground, panting heavily, still shaken.

"Squad X is on leave for a while. Wait for me to come back!"

After speaking, Du Mu, under the astonished gazes of everyone, took the initiative to walk towards the quantum teleportation portal.

Before leaving, he retrieved BT and also put Max into the Iron Poké Ball. He didn't feel any obstacles during the process, which showed that the instance didn't treat Max as a participant or as a person.

Max: "."

The next moment, Du Mu's figure completely disappeared into the quantum portal.

After completing its task of recruiting people, the quantum portal rapidly contracted, eventually dissipating into a tiny point of light in the air as if it had never existed, leaving Peter and Harry stunned in place.

At this moment, Du Mu felt himself being swept away by an invisible force and plunged into the deep universe.

Countless shimmering spider silks crisscrossed in the void, weaving a giant web that covered the entire field of vision, connecting the planets scattered throughout this universe.

Before he could even properly observe these planets, he plummeted downwards at an even faster speed and was instantly sucked into another quantum portal that suddenly appeared.

The light and shadow before his eyes changed rapidly. When his vision cleared again, Du Mu was shocked to find himself hundreds of meters above a bustling city, falling straight down!

The wind howled in my ears, and the buildings and the ground rapidly magnified before my eyes!
Du Mu remained calm. He first put on the magic mask, then adjusted his posture in the air, gracefully rotating his body until he was lying face up with his arms crossed in front of his chest.

"Leap of Faith!"

Immediately afterwards, a haystack appeared out of nowhere directly below his fall trajectory.

With a soft thud, Du Mu landed precisely in the center of the haystack, unharmed.

Ignoring the dumbfounded expressions of passersby, he brushed the grass clippings off his clothes and began to survey his surroundings.

"New York again?"

Du Mu raised an eyebrow slightly, recognizing several iconic buildings.

But unlike his main server, the celebrities on the billboards here are all different.

For example, a Black basketball player became a well-known UFC fighter, and a female celebrity who liked boxing became a male celebrity, and they are now embroiled in a media storm of being falsely accused of taking photos without consent.
However, the most eye-catching feature is the largest electronic display screen in the square.

A shocking news report is being broadcast on the screen.

"The well-known superhero Spider-Man has sadly passed away. He was injured and died in the latest powerful earthquake in Brooklyn."

"Multiple sources have confirmed that Spider-Man's real name is Peter Parker. This 26-year-old graduate student and part-time photographer has been acting as Spider-Man for at least ten years."

The news footage alternated between showing Spider-Man in his red and blue suit swinging through the city and a handsome blond man with blue eyes.

To be honest, this face does bear a resemblance to Peter from the Du Mu main server.

Du Mu was only slightly surprised by this.

The game system had already stated that each game server with a different number corresponds to a randomly generated independent game world, containing various possibilities, including parallel versions of the NPCs he was familiar with.

It was obvious that the blond, blue-eyed man on the screen was Peter's counterpart on this server.

What surprised Du Mu even more was that Peter Parker on this server had actually been killed, and even his character had been unlocked.

Du Mu naturally didn't believe that Peter's fellow disciple would die in an earthquake; it sounded as ridiculous as Tony dying in a plane crash.

In his view, Peter's counterpart must have died at the hands of someone.

But the question is, who has the ability to kill Peter's counterpart?
After spending this time together, Du Mu had a fairly good understanding of Peter's abilities.

Besides his skills in climbing and swinging, Peter also possesses incredible physical abilities, with a strength conservatively estimated at over ten tons. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to kick Hulk dozens of meters away with a single kick back in Midtown High School.

If Peter hadn't had a high moral standard and hadn't consciously restrained his strength in every fight, one punch from him would probably have sent the opponent kneeling on the ground begging for their life.

Not to mention, Peter also has a special ability called spider-sense. According to Peter himself, he can sense any threat to him in advance and his body will involuntarily dodge, which is almost like having a cheat code.

Unless there is a numerical advantage, it is generally difficult to harm Peter.

Could it be that Peter Parker on this server is relatively weak? Du Mu had no clue what to do for the time being. Seeing that the game system had not yet released any dungeon quests, he simply found a dark alley and went inside.

A few minutes later, Du Mu straightened his collar and walked out of the alley, holding a stack of banknotes of varying ages.

He just met some very friendly black guys who immediately asked him if he had any money.

Upon learning that he had no money, they gave him all the money they had on them without saying a word. He wouldn't take it, otherwise they would kneel and die in front of Du Mu.

Unable to refuse, Du Mu finally had to put the money and the golden Desert Eagle away.

He used his Black friend's money to buy a newspaper at a newsstand. The front page was about Spider-Man's death, and the rest of the news was unremarkable, with very little mention of superheroes.

I don't know if there are no other superheroes in this world, or if other superheroes have not yet appeared.

It's worth noting that Du Mu actually found a Spider-Man comic book here, titled "The True Story of Spider-Man," which details Spider-Man's origin story and subsequent developments, such as radioactive spiders, Uncle Ben's death, and the saying "With great power comes great responsibility."
However, Spider-Man's name in the comics is not Peter Parker, but a fictional name. There is even a note at the back of the comics that Spider-Man himself authorized it.

Du Mu couldn't help but sigh, "It has to be Peter Parker on this server who knows how to create something interesting, actually adapting his own experiences into a comic book and publishing it."

He decisively bought all the Spider-Man comic books and stuffed them all into his game inventory.

Keep in mind that Peter Parker, the owner of this server, is a 26-year-old adult.

A comic book adapted from the other party's personal experience is undoubtedly a game guide, which may be helpful to him. By the way, he can also show off in front of Peter by saying that he can predict the future or something.

Unfortunately, the game company required players to try the game on the same day and didn't give Du Mu a chance to supplement his information.

Furthermore, the Marvel stories of Du Mu's era are completely different from the game content he sees now, and they are even from different eras.

At the start of the game, Du Mu searched for a long time for the superhero called Iron Black Heart, but to no avail.

After all, in the current game context, supernatural beings with fully stacked buffs are far too advanced. For Nick Fury, a black-haired guy, to become the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is already considered to be ahead of its time in the current version.

After thinking for a moment, Du Mu decided to go and check out Peter's residence first.

Since Spider-Man is the only superhero in this world, the dungeon mission might be related to him.

Although he didn't know where Peter Parker's residence was on this server, he knew the location of Peter's residence on the main server, and on a whim, he headed towards Peter's residence.

Soon, Du Mu arrived at a slightly old house in Queens by taxi.

To his surprise, three people had already gathered at the door of the house: a middle-aged man with a full beard, a dark-skinned man, and a blonde woman wearing a black and white bodysuit.

Du Mu scanned the information of the three people.

[NPC: Peter B. Parker (Earth-616B)]

[NPC: Miles Morales]

[NPC: Gwen Stacy (Earth-65)]

Du Mu was surprised to find that two of them were old acquaintances of his: Peter Parker and Gwen.

However, neither of them looked like the ones he was familiar with. One looked exactly like Peter Parker on the server, only a bit older, with a face full of stories. The other looked like a punk rebellious girl.

Moreover, judging from the server numbers following their names, they are clearly not natives of this server, but rather outsiders like him.

Apart from that, all three of them are codenamed Spider-Man, with only minor differences.

Just as Du Mu was observing the three of them, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Official distribution of dungeon quests begins]

[Mission: Spider-Man Passing By]

Objective: To return the Spider-Men who are lost on this server to their original locations.

[Reward: Will be determined based on the number of Spider-Men successfully returned]

"who are you?"

Peter B. Parker, whose experience was as seasoned as his appearance, was the first to notice Du Mu's gaze and immediately became alert.

His spider senses were screaming alarms; the stranger in front of him wearing a bizarre mask was extremely dangerous!

Gwen also quickly went on high alert.

As a superhero trainee for nearly two and a half years, she was extremely vigilant. After all, there were many powerful villains in her universe. If she hadn't been aware of this, she would have been manipulated and tossed around by the supervillains long ago.

Only Miles, the young Spider-Man who hadn't even finished the tutorial, remained standing there, looking completely bewildered.

"What happened?"

“Miles, move to the back of the station, this guy is very dangerous.”

Peter B is still Peter Parker after all; he immediately stood at the front, protecting Gwen and Miles behind him.

"What's wrong with this guy?"

Seeing Peter B's serious expression, Miles immediately tensed up.

Peter B stared intently at Du Mu and said in a low voice, "Didn't you ask me before what experience I could share with you?"

"Here's a practical tip: if you ever see a guy with a unique appearance who suddenly appears, there's a 90% chance he's a powerful and evil supervillain. You have to be on high alert!"

Du Mu: "???"

You son of a bitch Parker, you're not even old yet, how come your eyesight is already failing?

With my justice points in the hundreds, I radiate the light of righteousness from head to toe. How could I be a super villain?

Seeing the Spider-Man trio looking like they were facing a formidable enemy, Du Mu was speechless and said, "Relax, I'm not some supervillain. Like you guys, I'm a superhero from another universe."

These words surprised all three of them.

Miles asked curiously, "Are you Spider-Man from another universe?"

Du Mu nodded: "That's acceptable."

Miles: "."

What does it mean to say "may be"?

Peter B became even more wary upon hearing this: "Impossible. I can't sense your spider-sense at all. Every Spider-Man should have this ability; it's our trademark."

Spider-Men are attracted to each other.

As long as they are both Spider-Man, their spider-sense will resonate, just like radios tuned to the same frequency, allowing them to instantly recognize each other.

However, they did not find this resonance in Du Mu.
