Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings.

The Tianming spacecraft is traveling at high speed through the universe.

Peter stood by the porthole, watching the blue planet gradually magnify in his field of vision.

I'll be going back soon!

Just as this thought crossed his mind, a familiar voice suddenly came from the captain's cabin—

This is because the Destiny spacecraft is getting closer and closer to Earth, and it automatically connects to the Avengers' internal communication channel.

Peter had just connected to the channel when he heard a very familiar female voice:

"Still can't get in touch with Mr. Hawkeye?"

The owner of that voice was none other than Gwen!

Peter's heart stirred, and a strong feeling of longing welled up within him.

He longed to tell Gwen how much he missed her, but the words caught in his throat.

He wanted to see how well Gwen could manage without him around.

Just as I was thinking this, Natasha's voice came through the communication channel:

"Still can't get in touch. Patton has been out of contact for over 24 hours! The Patton who is now being portrayed in the news as carrying out terrorist attacks is undoubtedly a fake."

"I had barely finished dealing with those clueless guys when I lost contact with Patton... What a coincidence that is in the world?"

"This must have been the work of those damned green goblins!"

As soon as Natasha finished speaking, Tony's voice came through the channel:

"Barton, Steve, Banner, Davis... The number of missing people is increasing. Damn it, haven't they already stolen our abilities?"

Why target them again?

"Guys, haven't you been keeping up with the latest news?!" Daisy's voice rang out, accompanied by the rapid clatter of keyboards.

"New superheroes have emerged around the world, including a guy codenamed Bionic Bird and Dragonfly Man who even defeated a fake Hawkeye and a fake Captain America on the street!"

Without a doubt, this is their latest plan!

"Those goblins are planning to kidnap us, the main characters, one by one, and then have their people impersonate us to cause trouble. Finally, another group of their people will dress up as new superheroes to stop them."

In this way, they can not only portray us as the villains, but also legitimately inherit our popularity and our standing in the hearts of the people!

"They want to completely replace us! And then, through our influence, they can more easily usurp our position!"

After hearing Daisy's analysis, the superheroes on the communication channel all turned ashen-faced.

The Skrulls' plan was truly ruthless.

This completely blocked all their avenues for counterattack, leaving even they at a loss for how to respond.

After all, the current situation is completely unfavorable to them, and the strength of the other side is in no way inferior to theirs. This is almost an inescapable dead end.

Just as they fell silent, racking their brains for a way to break the deadlock.

Clap clap clap~!

Suddenly, a strange applause came through the channel.

The crowd was taken aback by the applause.

Tony's face showed a look of exasperation. Who on earth dared to clap and interrupt his train of thought at this moment?

He instinctively wanted to explode, and the harsh words were already on the tip of his tongue, but he suddenly froze.

Wait a minute, this style of doing things is so similar to that of a certain jerk?

Just as this thought crossed his mind, a lazy voice drifted in:

"Not bad, Daisy, your analysis is very insightful! I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

The moment they heard that sound, the communication channel erupted in chaos.

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in unison:

"Peter?!"

Only Gwen, who was in her single dormitory at Imperial University at this moment, unconsciously pursed her lips, feeling a heart full of turmoil.

Peter... had overheard their entire conversation.

What should I do? Will Peter feel useless?

He had specifically warned him before leaving Earth, but he still managed to mess everything up.

She performed terribly in this secret war against the Skrulls, failing to fulfill her responsibilities as a leader.

Peter must have been very disappointed at that moment.

Will he... stop liking me because of this?

Gwen felt increasingly upset, and she instinctively muted her microphone, not wanting Peter to hear any signs of her emotional distress.

She's already performing terribly, and she doesn't want to show her vulnerable side to Peter again, making him think she's a useless piece of trash who only holds him back.

……

"Hey? Sister Sif, where's Peter?"

Inside the Destiny's cabin, Mantis, who happened to be passing by, noticed that Peter had suddenly disappeared from the captain's cabin and couldn't help but turn back to Sif to ask what had happened.

Sif glanced at the empty captain's cabin, then spoke with a slightly sour tone:

"He must have gone back to appease his wife first! Don't worry about him, anyway, the Destiny will land at the predetermined location even if he's not there."

"The Empress?" The Mantis Woman tilted her head.

"Is that Gwen?"

The thought that Peter cared so much about Gwen didn't make Mantis jealous at all; instead, she felt incredibly envious.

It must feel wonderful to be cared for so much!

I really hope that one day... Peter can care about me like that, so that I can experience what that feeling is like.

……

At the same time that the Mantis Woman was secretly fantasizing about these things.

Gwen, who was secretly shedding tears, suddenly noticed a purple light emanating from her body.

This is……

Gwen was taken aback when she saw the long-unseen purple light.

Immediately afterwards, I felt a pair of strong, powerful hands hug me from behind.

There's only one person in the world who can appear beside you so silently without triggering your spider-sense...

"Who has upset my little crybaby again?"

"Peter, how could you...?"

Peter reached out and gently stroked her short hair, saying in a carefree manner:

"My wife didn't even lead the welcoming ceremony for my return. Isn't that enough to get my attention?"

An incredibly gentle voice rang in Gwen's ears, causing all the weariness and grievances in her heart to surge up like a tide in that instant.

She couldn't help but turn over and throw herself into that familiar and warm embrace, sobbing uncontrollably as she spoke:

"Yes, I'm sorry, Peter, I messed everything up."

"Mr. Patton is missing, Mr. Steve is missing too... Those imposters are using our name to harm civilians everywhere, and the whole world is cursing us."

"I drafted a mutual trust agreement and made contingency plans in advance, but it was simply not enough... I was so useless, I couldn't stop them at all."

Peter listened silently to Gwen's intermittent narration, while tenderly reaching out to stroke her dark circles and pale lips.

The fact that Gwen, whose physical abilities are a hundred times better than those of ordinary people, has become so haggard shows how much pressure she has been under in the past.

"You've done a great job."

Peter used the horse charm to help Gwen dispel her fatigue while gently stroking her hair to comfort her:

"I have a general idea of ​​the situation now. Without your support, if Steve or Tony were in charge, things would only be worse than they are now."

"You've already achieved what many people can't, although you're still a tiny bit behind your all-powerful boyfriend."

"But obviously, you don't need to feel inferior for losing to me!"
