Amazing Spider-Man wasn't the only one shocked by this.
Wanda and G'iah, though aware that Lucas could combine portals with stellar energy to create a new type of magic, had no idea that this new spell could effortlessly shatter planets.
Inside the Mirror Dimension.
Little Gwen watched the projection, her mouth agape, only snapping back to reality after a long moment.
"Lucas, was that really you?"
Lucas gave a shy smile. "When I was young and foolish, and in a bad mood, I liked to set off fireworks to watch."
Outside the Mirror Dimension.
Wanda recovered and turned to Amazing Spider-Man, asking, "Amazing Spider-Man, from what you just said, you should have a way to contact Nightmare, right? Can you tell us how?"
"Is that demon's name Nightmare? The image certainly fits perfectly."
Amazing Spider-Man murmured to himself, then pulled back the sleeve on his wrist.
A green rune was visible on the back of his hand.
A green rune that Lucas, Wanda, and Ghost Gwen all found familiar.
"Activating this rune allows you to contact Nightmare. I can help you contact him, but I have one condition."
"What condition?"
"Gwen's soul. He threatened me with Gwen's soul, which is why I signed the contract with him. If you're going to deal with him, I hope you can help me get Gwen's soul back."
"Amazing Gwen's soul is no longer with Nightmare. A few days ago, Amazing Gwen's soul appeared in Little Gwen's body on Earth-404."
"Later... now, Amazing Gwen's soul is fusing with her body. It will take about nine more days for the fusion to be complete."
Ghost Gwen explained the full story of why they came to find Amazing Spider-Man.
"Is Gwen resurrecting? That's wonderful. I don't know how to thank you all."
Hearing the news that Amazing Gwen was resurrecting, Amazing Spider-Man danced with joy.
"It's Amazing Gwen." Ghost Gwen emphasized.
"There are three Gwens in this world now. Little Gwen and I are still alive and well."
"Okay, Amazing Gwen it is. Can you take me to see Amazing Gwen? Will it affect her resurrection? I haven't rested well these past few days. No, I need to take a shower and get myself ready first."
Wanda and G'iah's face darkened as they watched the rambling Amazing Spider-Man.
How had they not noticed this Amazing Spider-Man was such a chatterbox at first?
Ghost Gwen and Peni exchanged smiles, this was very Spider-Man.
"Amazing Spider-Man, whether you want to go see Amazing Gwen first, or take a shower before seeing Amazing Gwen, you'd best act now."
Left with no choice, Wanda could only urge him on.
"Okay, wait for me a moment, I'll be ready very soon."
Inside the Mirror Dimension.
"Let's go, Little Gwen. We'll return to the Villa first and awaken Amazing Gwen."
Golden sparks flickered, instantly engulfing Lucas and Little Gwen, taking them back to the Villa.
Upon returning to the Villa, Lucas walked towards the room where Amazing Gwen's nutrient pod was placed.
He knocked on the door.
"Helen, Peter will be here soon. I'm going to awaken Amazing Gwen first."
A moment later, Helen opened the door from inside.
"Okay, Lucas. But Amazing Gwen is already awake, no need to awaken her."
Entering the room, Lucas looked at a status diagram on the instrument, which showed the status as 'Awake'.
"Helen, did you awaken Amazing Gwen? Or did she want to be awake herself?" Lucas asked.
The resurrection takes about ten days, and she can't move during this time. If she stayed awake the whole time, it would be worse than being locked in a dark room.
"Amazing Gwen wanted to be awake herself. I was worried she'd be bored, so I stayed here to chat with her."
"Alright then."
Since Amazing Gwen wanted to stay awake herself, Lucas had nothing more to say.
After thinking for a moment, Lucas's divine power flowed, condensing into a small loudspeaker connected to Amazing Gwen's body.
"Amazing Gwen, this small loudspeaker can help you speak."
"Thank you, Lucas." A crisp mechanical voice sounded.
"You're welcome, it's a small matter."
Leaving the room, Lucas returned to the living room to read a novel.
Having finished "The Wandering Lion," Lucas began reading the sequel, "The Red Ribbon Lion King."
"Lucas, are you reading children's books?" Little Gwen, who had been following Lucas, asked.
"Yes, and not entirely. Why, Little Gwen, do you want to read it too?" Lucas asked.
"No." Little Gwen shook her head repeatedly. "These illustrations look too childish."
After speaking, Little Gwen couldn't help but laugh. She often saw Lucas reading, but she never expected him to be reading these children's books.
Lucas's face darkened. "Have you finished your homework, Little Gwen?"
Little Gwen's smile froze.
A moment later, a portal opened.
Wanda and G'iah led the way, with six Spider-Men emerging.
"Long time no see, Sorcerer Spider-Man." x4
"Long time no see, Spider-UK, Spider-Man Noir, Peni, Spider-Ham."
Lucas put down the novel in his hand and responded to the four Spider-Men.
"And it's good to see you, Amazing Spider-Man."
Lucas looked at Amazing Spider-Man, who was staring at him, and a smile spread across his face.
He wasn't just looking at Amazing Spider-Man, but also at Nightmare behind him. And the billions of points that Nightmare represented.
"Amazing Gwen is upstairs. You can just follow Little Gwen up."
"Okay, thank you, Sorcerer Spider-Man."
As soon as he heard Amazing Gwen was upstairs, Amazing Spider-Man couldn't hold back, hastily thanked him, and followed Little Gwen upstairs.
After Amazing Spider-Man went upstairs, Spider-UK asked, "Sorcerer Spider-Man, the last member of the Inheritors, Karn, has been captured. Do you have any arrangements for him?"
Lucas shook his head. "No, you can handle it as you see fit."
Spider-UK continued to ask, "Sorcerer Spider-Man, are you targeting the demon who made a deal with Amazing Spider-Man this time?"
"If you can completely resolve him, then we won't need to take Amazing Spider-Man away. Otherwise, we'll take him to another Universe for refuge."
Lucas had a strange feeling. "I will completely resolve this matter. There's no need to take Amazing Spider-Man away."
Spider-UK seemed to be deliberately confirming something with him.
"See, I guessed right."
Spider-UK and Spider-Man Noir stood up, clapping their hands in celebration.
Meanwhile, Peni and Spider-Ham hung their heads in dejection.
Goodness, these guys are betting on me.
Lucas shook his head and chuckled. "Do you have a wager? If so, remember to give me a share, otherwise... hehe."
"Wager?"
The two pairs of Spider-Men looked at each other.
Suddenly, the tables turned.
"No wager!"
Peni and Spider-Ham clapped their hands and cheered.
Spider-UK and Spider-Man Noir hung their heads, becoming defeated men.
"How did we forget to add stakes?"
Wanda and G'iah exchanged glances.
Is this what Spider-Man is like?
They're too crazy.
