Chapter 53 The Web of Fate and the Spider Totem
After reuniting with Wayne, who had been "staying outside," the group returned to Peter's (1610-B) underground base.
While Lyra was making the USB drive to control the collider, the group chatted again.
Beer-bellied Peter was curious. "So, Otto... I mean, how did Doctor Octopus here end up with Kingpin?"
"The particle collision experiment was led by Liv, but the investor was Kingpin."
Peter (1610-B) shot out a spider web, pulled up a chair, sat down, and began to recount Kingpin's past, his tone inexplicably becoming somewhat melancholic.
In short, during one of his fights with Kingpin, Kingpin's wife and son suddenly returned and witnessed the scene.
Unable to accept that her husband's increasingly out-of-control criminal career and violent behavior posed a significant threat to the safety of their family, his wife fled the home with their son.
As a result, because he wasn't looking where he was going, he bumped into the Hundred-Ton King on the way and was immediately sent to another world.
Although Peter (1610-B) was not to blame for this, he sometimes felt a little guilty about it.
"So, what's Kingpin thinking when he invests in particle collider experiments?"
"Yes, he wants his wife and son from other universes to come to his side."
"..."
Half of the people present had lost someone important: Peter's (1610-B) Uncle Ben, Uncle Ben and Aunt May of Beef-bellied Peter, Miguel's daughter... But even if they could understand Kingpin's feelings, they could not understand Kingpin's actions.
After all, even if they are the same individuals in other universes, they are not the original ones.
Seeing Miguel and his two companions suddenly become emo for no apparent reason, Gwen was somewhat confused. "What's wrong with them?"
"You can empathize with what Kingpin went through, right?"
Peter suddenly remembered what they had said before, "It seems that because of some web-weaving incident, every Spider-Man in every universe loses someone important to him."
"!!!"
Upon hearing Peter's words, Gwen panicked and threw herself into Wayne's arms. "Tell me, you'll be alright, right?"
Before Wayne could answer, he attracted strange looks from Miguel and the others—are you sure this thing can be killed?
"Even if the web of fate collapses, I won't be in any danger."
Wayne couldn't help but chuckle, ruffling Gwen's hair. "So don't worry."
"I'll protect you... Don't laugh! I'm serious!"
"Of course, I believe you."
Wayne wasn't joking. After all, there are plenty of outrageous monsters and demons in Marvel, and when facing those truly terrifying beings... even he might have to unleash his inner power to have any chance of fighting them.
So he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be tricked. Perhaps one day he would really need Gwen and the others to help him... But strangely enough, he was actually a little looking forward to it.
"The Web of Fate?"
Miguel gleaned a key phrase from Wayne's words: "What is that?"
"It is a kind of superdimensional structure that covers the multiverse and was created by the ancient god Nais."
"Each thread corresponds to a life and a possible future... Just think of it as a map of the multiverse."
"At the same time, it is also the energy hub connecting all spider totems."
Although this information was somewhat shocking, Wayne had already pushed Miguel and the others to a very high level of acceptance, so they quickly accepted the fact.
Meanwhile, Miguel continued to record, "What is that spider totem?"
"The spider totem is a personification of an abstract cosmic force; it represents the embodiment of the concept of the 'spider' in the web of fate."
Gwen continued, "At the same time, the power of every spider-type ability user in the multiverse originates from it."
"..."
Well, here comes another story I only tell my girlfriend and not my buddies.
Peter stared with dead fish eyes, trying to make Wayne feel guilty with his gaze.
However, Wayne simply ignored him calmly. "However, the Web of Fate does not cover every universe. It only covers the universes related to the Spider Totem. Universes not related to the Spider Totem are not included in the web."
Even though the web of fate covers countless universes, it still falls short of the entire Marvel multiverse.
However, this also shows that if the Web of Fate wants to cover a universe, it must first have an "anchor point" in that universe—and this "anchor point" is probably the spider-like ability user in that universe.
As for the occurrence of the web-weaving event, it is highly likely that this "anchor point" malfunctioned, causing the corresponding node of the web of fate to break, which in turn led to the collapse of the universe like a butterfly that causes a storm.
"The web of fate, the spider totem..."
Miguel's eyes kept changing, sometimes looking confused, sometimes surprised, and occasionally letting out an emo.
Just as everyone was wondering what was wrong with him, Miguel silently stood up. "So... what about the web-weaving incident?"
"Although I only have a superficial understanding of what Nice came up with."
"However, I think that to avoid the web-weaving incident you mentioned, it doesn't necessarily have to be someone who dies. What's more important is that Spider-Man grows and matures."
After all, this is Spider-Man's own "fate" as the "anchor point." As long as he can successfully move from this fate point to the next, it doesn't matter whether it's Uncle Ben or someone else who dies, or even the aunt selling vegetables on the roadside—the conditions are not important, the result is what matters.
The reason why most of the deaths are of important people is that Spider-Men from different universes are more likely to understand the principle of "with great power comes great responsibility" and thus become destined heroes.
Anyway, after Wayne saved Ben Parker from his side, nothing like the Web incident happened... Of course, if it had happened, he would have gone to have tea with Nice.
Miguel listened to Wayne's words in silence. If what Wayne said was true, wouldn't that mean his daughter was destined to die from the start? After all, her original father had already kicked the bucket, so how could she have grown up?
At this moment, Lyra reminded everyone that the USB drive that had seized control of the particle collider was complete.
……
Bustling traffic, vibrant neon lights, the interplay of sunset and night, a warm, moist evening breeze—everything felt so familiar, except…
"So why do you all insist on standing here in the wind?"
Leila couldn't understand why these people insisted on standing on the crane to show off.
"You don't understand, this is superhero-style romance."
Beer-bellied Peter waved his hand, indicating that he couldn't reason with this artificial intelligence.
"Alright, guys, we should go say hello to our old friend Kingpin and his villainous cronies!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Peter (1610-B) was the first to leap down, swinging on his web and rushing towards a subway entrance in Manhattan.
The rest of the group followed closely behind.
After the Spider-Men left, a white sliver drifted down onto the crane, the fading sunlight lingering on the golden patterns.
"This is great! It's making me want to try it myself."
Wayne sat down on the crane, one foot on the crane, his arm resting on his knee, and the other foot dangling in mid-air.
Super vision transcends everything, taking in the entire stage play that belongs to Spider-Man and the villains.
