Chapter 154 Creating a Multiverse Dining Hall

On the other side, Peter B's squad.

Based on the intelligence provided by Miles, the three Spider-Men stealthily made their way to Kingpin's Fisk Tower.

Right now, a memorial dinner for Spider-Man is being held on the top floor here.

Kingpin's ostensible identity is that of a philanthropic businessman. He claims to be Spider-Man's best friend, with whom he has a life-or-death bond, and invites various social celebrities and media to the event, hoping to use this opportunity to amass fame and fortune.

Seeing this, the Spider-Men hiding in the shadows were utterly speechless.

Kingpin is truly a genius; he even managed to make money off of a dead Spider-Man.

And wasn't your life-or-death friendship built on the fact that you killed Spider-Man?
In fact, this seemingly hypocritical commemorative dinner was just a pretext. Kingpin's secretly constructed super particle collider was hidden in the laboratory deep inside the building.

Because it was a Spider-Man memorial dinner, all the waiters and security personnel were wearing Spider-Man masks and suits, which provided the three Spider-Men with an excellent opportunity to disguise themselves and openly infiltrate Fisk Tower.

Peter B and Gwen disguised themselves as waiters, while Poker disguised himself as a suckling pig on a plate.
During this time, Peter B stumbled upon Mary Jane from this universe. Seeing that Mary Jane's face was almost identical to his wife's, Peter, who had been separated from Mary Jane for many years, couldn't help but feel excited.

Fortunately, with the intervention of the other two Spider-Men, his big head regained control of his intelligence.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, the three Spider-Men immediately decided to find Kingpin first, and then give him a righteous brawl to subdue him.

They quickly found the only private elevator that led directly from the top floor to the underground, decisively removed the elevator door, and jumped into the dark elevator shaft.

Spider-Man never takes elevators!

When they arrived at the bottom floor of the Fisk Building, they found it eerily quiet.

There were large amounts of splattered bloodstains on the ground, fragments of torn research suits were scattered everywhere, and even a few pieces of white bone could be seen. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and an indescribable stench of decay.

"What's going on here?"

The three Spider-Men suddenly had a bad feeling.

But with their mission in mind, they had no choice but to continue pushing deeper into the laboratory.

The further you go in, the denser the bloodstains become, as if some horrific event had occurred here.

Then, they heard a chilling chewing sound coming from the control room.

The three held their breath and quietly approached. The sight they saw through the observation window made them all gasp in shock.

Kingpin's massive body was crouching on the ground, devouring the remains of a researcher.

His once impeccably tailored high-end suit was now tattered and torn, a large chunk of flesh had been missing from his left shoulder, and the exposed skin was a sickly bluish-gray, covered with bulging black veins.

Seemingly sensing the movement, Kingpin slowly raised his head.

His eyes were completely covered in grayish-white, and there were still bits of bright red flesh hanging from the corners of his mouth.

"More meat!"

His voice was hoarse and broken, like an old bellows being pulled.

Its massive body swayed as it rose, casting a suffocating shadow in the dim light.

"Zombies?"

Peter B and Gwen gasped in surprise.

In their universe, zombie-themed works are quite popular, so they naturally recognized Kingpin's current state at a glance, which is a common image in classic zombie movies.

"What are zombies?" Poker asked.

Peter B quickly explained, "It's a man-eating monster; anyone bitten by it will turn into a zombie."

Poker exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Do they eat pigs?"

Gwen: "Uh, we should eat it."

Poker breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I'm a spider, not a pig."

Peter B and Gwen: "."

As expected of a cartoon character, he still has the mind to tell jokes at a time like this.

Just as they were discussing, Kingpin had already started walking and charged towards them!
The spider senses of the three Spider-Men went off simultaneously, and they quickly dodged to the sides. Kingpin missed his target, and the huge impact shook the ground.

"He tried to bite us!"

Gwen keenly sensed Kingpin's intentions.

Peter B shouted, "We absolutely cannot let him hurt us! We must subdue him first!"

The three Spider-Men instantly coordinated, shooting several webs at Kingpin to bind him, each pulling on the webs from different directions, making it difficult for Kingpin to move for a moment.

However, Kingpin's resistance was exceptionally fierce, like a never-ending machine, struggling tirelessly and frantically.

Don't let Kingpin's chubby appearance fool you; he's actually all muscle.

Unlike Captain America, who is a tech-savvy warrior who uses drugs, Kingpin is a purely natural bodybuilder who has honed his physical abilities to the pinnacle of human fitness through decades of rigorous training.

If it weren't for the fact that each of the Spider-Men possesses superhuman strength, they probably wouldn't have been able to control this rampaging zombie long ago.

Even so, they could not maintain this state of control over Kingpin indefinitely.

"How do you plan to deal with the zombies you mentioned?" Poker asked.

Gwen looked troubled: "According to the movie's setting, it seems that the only way is to shoot someone in the head."

Now they were all in a dilemma.

Even if Kingpin really looked like a zombie, they couldn't bring themselves to do it.

Peter B hesitated, then said, "Or, we could try to develop a serum to treat his problem."

"Hehe, unfortunately, this infection is irreversible."

A hoarse and distorted voice suddenly rang out from not far away.

The three Spider-Men immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw a Spider-Man in a classic red and blue suit slowly emerge from the shadows.

His suit was torn in several places, and the lower half of his mask was completely ripped apart, exposing his severely rotten lips and chin, with grayish-white teeth and dark red gums exposed.

As he spoke, black, sticky fluid dripped down from time to time, a nauseating sight.

Peter B's spider-sense kicked in simultaneously, and he exclaimed in surprise, "You're Spider-Man from another universe?"

The zombie Spider-Man grinned, revealing a hideous smile through his terrifying mouth.

"That's right. In my universe, we are experiencing a global zombie crisis. Everyone is infected and has become a zombie, even the superheroes. The Avengers, the X-Men, the Defenders. None of them have been spared. They have all become walking corpses like me."

Upon hearing the zombie Spider-Man's words, the three Spider-Men felt a chill run down their spines.

Peter B, in particular, knew the superhero team the other party mentioned. Those powerful superheroes had all turned into cannibalistic zombies.

Just imagining this scene fills one with profound despair!

The zombie Spider-Man continued, "In the end, we practically devoured all the humans on Earth. Finding a living person was harder than encountering an alien. I was starving!"

"Unexpectedly, a quantum portal appeared at this moment and brought me to this universe!"

Zombie Spider-Man spread his arms wide, his gray eyes flashing with a crazed light: "Look here, fresh flesh and blood everywhere, living humans walking on the streets, for me right now, this is simply paradise!"

Gwen, barely containing her anger, demanded sharply, "So you brought the virus here? You want this universe to suffer the same fate as your world?"

"of course not."

Zombie Spider-Man shook his head: "After the lessons of the last universe, I understand that one Earth is far from enough. No matter how big the planet is or how many humans there are, there will eventually be a day when it is all eaten up."

"I just discovered that Kingpin in this world has secretly built a super particle collider that can connect the multiverse. Do you know what that means?" "It means I can obtain a continuous supply of food from countless parallel universes!"

"Never again will we have to endure the torment of hunger, and we can enjoy this eternal feast to our hearts' content!"

The three Spider-Men stared wide-eyed, shocked by this insane plan.

They all understood: Zombie Spider-Man was planning to create a multiverse-themed dining hall!

If Zombie Spider-Man's plot succeeds, then humans from countless parallel universes will become his food, and it might even spread to their own universes, something they absolutely cannot allow.

Peter B was furious: "You're creating a catastrophe that will sweep across the multiverse!"

“Once you become like me, you won’t think that way anymore.”

The zombie Spider-Man let out a hoarse, cold laugh.

Just then, a rumbling sound of machinery coming from deep within the laboratory came, and the indicator lights on the wall lit up with blue lights one by one.

The cold, electronic sound echoed in the laboratory.

"Sequence uploaded successfully"

"Starting the query for dimensional matching objects."

"Countdown to secondary ignition"

Through the observation window, one can see the core of the super particle collider begin to heat up, and then two terrifying particle beams collide in the vacuum tube, bursting out dazzling energy sparks.

"It seems that the octopus lady whose meat doesn't smell very good has completed her mission."

Zombie Spider-Man nodded in satisfaction and said to the three Spider-Men, "My feast is about to begin. You guys have fun here with them, but remember not to get eaten, or you won't be able to turn into a zombie anymore."

After saying that, Zombie Spider-Man turned and left, and then three twisted figures emerged from the shadows.

Based on their remaining clothing and physical characteristics, Peter B could barely identify them as a rhinoceros man, a lizard man, and a vulture.

Without exception, they are all Spider-Man's archenemies.

However, they all bore the marks of being eaten and had been completely infected into zombies. Their eyes were fixed on the three Spider-Men in front of them, their mouths watering.

"Meat! I want to eat meat!"

The zombie rhinoceros couldn't wait and launched the first attack.

His massive body, even larger than Kingpin's, roared towards the three Spider-Men like an out-of-control heavy tank, smashing experimental equipment along the way to pieces.

Seeing that the rhinoceros-man had made the first move, the lizardmen and vultures, fearing they would miss out on the meat if they were a step behind, immediately followed suit and launched their own attack.

Seeing this, the three Spider-Men had no choice but to release the webs binding Kingpin and scatter quickly, desperately dodging the three zombies' frenzied attacks in the cramped laboratory space.

Although with their strength, they could easily take on any supervillain one-on-one, the problem was that their opponent had become a zombie who felt no pain.

What's even more terrifying is that every attack from the opponent carries a deadly virus, like wielding a blade that can cut through wind and wounds. Even the slightest scratch could be fatal.

Without Spider-Man's restraint, Kingpin broke free of the spider webs and roared as he lunged at Peter B, who was closest to him.

"Oops!"

Peter B felt a sense of foreboding, and beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

The situation is rapidly deteriorating. Four zombie-like supervillains are closing in from different directions, and the laboratory space is extremely limited, leaving them with less and less room to maneuver.

If this continues, not only will they be unable to stop the zombie Spider-Man's plan to open the multiverse portal, but they themselves will also be in grave danger. Once they are injured by these zombies, they will soon become one of them, becoming accomplices in spreading the disaster.

At this critical moment, the surrounding electronic devices suddenly flashed blue light and emitted dynamic electronic music.

As the current converged, a dazzling bolt of lightning burst forth amidst the crowd, gradually coalescing into a human-shaped silhouette.

"Electric Man!"

Upon seeing Max's appearance, Peter B's mood instantly plummeted.

Although the electric man had turned evil, he still recognized the other party's identity at a glance.

In his view, Electro is also a classic Spider-Man antagonist, and there is probably only one reason why Electro is here: Electro has also been infected with the virus and turned into a zombie.

Just as Peter B was on high alert, Max suddenly made an extremely strange face and emitted an electronic sound.

"Pikachu!"

Max: (≧≦)
Peter B: "."

Is this a zombie virus or a silly virus?
Strangely, the moment Max shouted those words, the four zombie supervillains on the field seemed to suddenly abandon their original targets and turned around to pounce on Max!

They didn't know what was going on, but they just really wanted to eat Max!
But Max was already fully charged, as could be seen from his electronic music; the battery was at least 90%.

Max raised his palms, and countless blinding arcs of electricity gathered in his palms!

Phew! !
Several arcs of electricity simultaneously struck the four zombie supervillains.

Max wasn't like Peter B or any of those Spider-Men; he didn't hold back at all, unleashing his maximum current output, electrocuting the four zombie supervillains until they were charred black and infected, turning them into his kind.

Apart from the Rhino Man clad in special armor, the flesh and blood of the other three zombie supervillains were instantly reduced to charcoal by the electric current, finally finding peace.

The rhinoceros-man still had the strength to fight, roaring as he got up from the ground, ready to launch another charge.

boom!
A crisp gunshot pierced the air.

The rhinoceros-man's head exploded, its massive body swayed, and finally it crashed to the ground.

"Are you guys okay?"

Du Mu put down the Golden Desert Eagle in his hand and glanced at the disheveled trio.

Behind him, Spider-Man Noir and Spider-Woman Peni arrived at the scene a step later.

Upon seeing their arrival, Peter B breathed a sigh of relief: "Luckily you came in time, otherwise we would have to eat meat for the rest of our lives."

"If it turns out like this, you must kill me."

Gwen doesn't want to become a zombie. Eating people is one thing, but more importantly, her appearance will be ruined, and she won't even look like a normal person anymore.

Penny nodded in agreement.

For these girls, being like this is worse than being killed!

Peter B couldn't help but ask, "By the way, is Electro an accomplice you found?"

Du Mu shook his head: "No, he's from my universe, and he came here with me."

Peter B was startled and asked in a low voice, "Is he a good person or a bad person?"

In his universe, Electro is a notorious villain who steals electricity from the New York power plant every day, causing New Yorkers to experience both internet and power outages, leading to constant complaints from the city's residents.

Especially some citizens who like to play games, the parents and family tree of the Electric Man have been cursed tens of millions of times.

Du Mu chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I've already cleared his name and he's a good guy now. He's joined my X Squad and fights criminals every day."

"That's amazing! How did you do that?" Peter B asked in surprise.

He also wanted the supervillains in his universe to be good people and not go further down the path of illegality, but unfortunately they disagreed and instead beat him up.

“It’s very simple. I give him a large sum of money, and he will no longer have the trouble of money. Naturally, he will have no reason to commit crimes.”

Peter B: "."

To be honest, I have this problem too.
