Although Peter's tone was anything but polite.

But a good neighbor's good temper is inherited.

So neither neighbor number 2 nor neighbor number 3 felt angry or defensive because of Peter's assertion of sovereignty.

Neighbor Number 2 took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and then slowly spoke in a hoarse voice:

"I'm sorry... I was just... too excited."

He gave a bitter smile, a smile that looked worse than a grimace.

"In my world, my Gwen... she's already..."

At this point, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

But Gwen and Felicia understood instantly.

In the universe where Peter exists, "Gwen Stacy" is already dead.

The neighbor next to them, number 3, seemed to be touched by number 2's experience and subconsciously spoke up:

"My Felicia...she died in an explosion while protecting me."

Listening to the stories told by their good neighbors, No. 2 and No. 3, the two best friends, whose relationship had almost broken down due to Felicia's sudden arrival, exchanged a glance and could read an indescribable shock in each other's eyes.

In other universes, their fate, along with that of "Peter Parker," is tragically different.

A man died in his lover's arms due to a rescue mishap.

One sacrificed himself to protect his lover, leaving no trace of his remains.

These accounts vaguely made them realize two things.

The first thing is, they all seem to be Peter's... destined loves?

It seems... Peter from every universe will fall in love with one of them.

However... something went wrong in their universe, causing them both to be alive and well, and both to be attracted to Peter?

The second thing was that they realized how lucky they were.

As Gwen and Felicia listened to their two kind neighbors describe how they lost their loved ones, they couldn't help but think of the things they had faced in the past.

If it weren't for Peter's powerful strength, protecting them so well, saving them time and time again from danger, and even going to great lengths to help them increase their power...

Perhaps, like their counterparts in other parallel universes, they have already died at the hands of some powerful supervillain?

Just as Peter had envisioned.

Happiness is something that needs to be compared to something else.

Suddenly, Gwen felt that compared to the two miserable Peters in front of her, the "love triangle" that had caused them so much pain and turmoil seemed... not so unbearable after all.

Before meeting these two kind neighbors, Gwen may have had some thoughts in her mind such as "I should leave for a while and think about how this relationship should continue."

But now, after seeing these two kind neighbors, she decisively extinguished the thought in her mind.

It wasn't that she was afraid of death or worried that leaving Peter would immediately lead to dangers she couldn't handle.

But... she never wanted to see her Peter with the same heartbreaking expression as the two people in front of her.

The Gwent from other universes has become a lifelong regret for Peter.

And she, having finally had the chance to get married to Peter, how could she possibly push away this hard-won gift of fate?

Peter quietly observed the constantly changing expressions on Gwen's face.

Noticing the wavering look on Gwen's face, Peter knew that he had already achieved more than half of his goal.

Perhaps, with just a final push, things could develop in the direction he expects.

"I'm sorry to hear this news."

Thinking this, Peter first offered a word of comfort to his two good neighbors with a regretful expression, but then suddenly changed the subject:

"But I still have to interrupt you... As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. in this world, I must understand the purpose of your sudden appearance and assess the risks you may pose to our universe."

Hearing Peter's words, the two good neighbors gradually recovered from their grief.

After exchanging a glance with their neighbor, the two decided to tell each other everything they knew.

"We're here to stop this universe from collapsing!" Neighbor Number One said in a typical chuunibyou (delusional) tone, typical of heroes from another world.

Compared to the impulsive good neighbor #1, neighbors #2 and #3 were more organized. They began to explain in detail to Gwen and Felicia what the "web incident" was:

"Simply put, certain points in the universe that we Spider-Men live in, or certain experiences in our lives, are highly similar."

That is... once Spider-Man becomes Spider-Man, he will inevitably encounter an unexpected event that causes him to lose his loved ones and makes him truly realize the meaning of "with great power comes great responsibility."

"Um..." Felicia couldn't help but interject, "For example, you experienced my and Gwen's deaths in your respective universes?"

"But if that's the case, what's up with that little brat... this kid? He's not old enough to be dating, is he?"

Upon hearing this, Spider-Man #2 and Spider-Man #3 gave a wry smile and then explained:

"In fact... your departure happened later; the Spider Web incident wasn't a one-off!"

"In countless parallel universes, each Spider-Man faces multiple web-related incidents."

To take us as an example, the first spiderweb event we faced was Uncle Ben's death.

Countless Peter Parkers are forced to lose things in their journey to becoming Spider-Man, much like the inevitable laws of the universe.

"If this event is disrupted, it's as if the predetermined trajectory has been broken, and the development of the universe will veer off onto a completely unknown path, ultimately leading to collapse!"

Upon hearing what the three good neighbors had to say, Gwen and Felicia unconsciously swallowed.

Gwen subconsciously looked at her hands... Was she really that important?

If something unexpected happens in my life, will it cause the universe to collapse?

The moment she realized this, Gwen was initially incredulous, but then her pretty face turned pale instantly.

Because her clever little brain had already realized the problem.

Spider-Man will inevitably lose his loved ones after becoming Spider-Man.

But... it's been several months since she became Spider-Man.

But whether it's Dad, Grandma, or Peter, they're all alive and well!

Doesn't this mean... the Spider Web incident has been disrupted?

Is their universe already on the verge of collapse?

These three people in front of me said, "We've come to stop the universe from collapsing..."

What are the ways to prevent a crash?

Could it be that she's forcibly causing the already destroyed spiderweb incident to happen again, that is... killing the loved ones she cherishes?!

The moment she realized this, Gwen felt her hands and feet turn ice cold.

She frantically tried to hypnotize herself, attempting to convince herself that things might not be as bad as she imagined.

But just then, the spider communicators on the wrists of the three good neighbors suddenly went off...
