A phone was strapped to Spider-Man's chest, and Ned and MJ appeared on its screen.
["Absolutely, definitely, and certainly."]
["Trust me, Parker. I can't be wrong."]
Ned spoke with complete confidence.
"All right, I'll look around again."
Peter Parker swung on another 'swing,' weaving between the various power towers.
MJ reminded him, ["Be careful. We don't know who the opponent will be."]
"As long as I have your support, I won't lose no matter who the opponent is."
"I'll capture all of them and send them away."
"Then we can go to MIT."
Thinking about the bright future, Peter Parker's eyes were full of anticipation.
["It's nearby."]
Ned reminded him.
Peter Parker landed in a patch of woods.
There were several sheds here and some electrical equipment, but it looked like no one usually came here, so naturally there was no one here now either.
He lightened his footsteps. His black Spider-Man suit made him look like a ghost moving through the darkness.
"See anything?"
Spider-Man asked his friends while looking around himself.
["I can't see anything. It's too dark here."]
Ned used his fingers to pull his eyelids open, hoping to see more clearly that way.
"Okay, okay."
Peter Parker decided to search on his own.
Just then, his spider-sense activated.
He sensed something unusual behind him.
He stopped.
["What happened?"]
["Peter, what's wrong?"]
Ned and MJ asked at the same time.
Behind Spider-Man, high up on the cables of a power tower, yellow electricity was jumping around and gathering together.
A figure appeared within the mass of electricity.
It was a blue Electro.
Peter Parker raised his arm, and magic circles appeared on the armor that had been enhanced by Doctor Strange's magic.
The armor was now ready.
He suddenly turned around and looked upward.
["Oh, what's that?"]
["An electric man?"]
MJ and Ned exclaimed softly from the phone screen.
They then began discussing it.
["Is this the Osborn that Doctor Octopus mentioned?"]
"No, he's green."
Peter Parker shook his head, "This guy is blue, and he seems to be absorbing electricity."
"I'm going to try talking to him."
Spider-Man then raised his voice, "Hey, are you from another universe?"
["What is he doing?"]
["Looks like he's charging."]
["Forget it, Peter. Shoot him already."]
At MJ's urging, Peter Parker suddenly raised his wrist and fired a beam of magic light.
But the beam passed straight through Electro's body. It went through the power tower and landed in the forest, bringing a section of tree into the dungeon space beneath the Sanctum Sanctorum.
At this moment, Electro seemed to react. He suddenly raised both hands and fired a wave of electricity at Spider-Man.
Peter Parker nimbly dodged with a backflip.
But Electro didn't stop. He continuously fired streams of high-voltage electricity, bright and dazzling like fireworks at a birthday party.
They were also extremely dangerous.
Spider-Man swung between the trees as streams of high-voltage electricity chased after him.
They struck the sheds and hit the trees.
On the phone screen, Ned and MJ frantically gave him dir ections.
["Go left, quick, go left."]
["No, go right. What we're seeing is the opposite of Peter's view."]
["Right, right, go right."]
Under the two of them blindly giving directions, Spider-Man was hit by a stream of electricity and immediately fell.
Also in this forest, a mass of sand was slowly flowing along.
Just as Electro was chasing Spider-Man, the mass of sand stopped, suddenly surged upward, and transformed into the shape of a man.
"What's happening over there?"
"Is that Spider-Man?"
"Is that Peter Parker?"
The Sandman was about to head toward the 'battlefield' when he suddenly sensed something and turned around.
High above the dark forest, beneath the bright, round moon, a figure appeared.
The figure suddenly landed on the ground.
A red cape flew up.
Then a blond man wearing a black metal suit straightened up.
He smiled and said, "Good evening, Mr. Flint Marko."
Sandman froze for a moment, "You know me?"
"No one here knows me."
"Although it looks exactly like the city I lived in, none of the people I know are here. It's as if they never existed."
Having encountered someone who knew him, 'Sandman' Marko was extremely excited.
"Can you tell me exactly what's going on?"
The person who had descended from the sky was naturally Alex.
After escaping from the Avengers headquarters, he used his 'Mental Domain' ability to sense Peter Parker's mental flame, thereby pinpointing his location and rushing here.
He had already seen Electro fighting Spider-Man from a distance. Originally, he had intended to approach Peter Parker and make contact with him as a multiverse person.
But just now, he discovered Sandman and remembered that in the movie, Flint Marko had encountered Spider-Man here and was brought back to the Sanctum Sanctorum by Peter Parker.
Seeing Sandman, he changed his mind.
Even a 'villain' like him, who was wholeheartedly trying to corrupt Spider-Man, was finding ways to get close to Peter Parker.
As his opponent, Staro, who wanted to maintain the 'good ending,' would naturally have planted spies around Spider-Man as well.
If he rashly appeared before Peter Parker as 'Homelander,' he would definitely arouse Staro's suspicion.
But if he used a character from the original movie, there wouldn't be that problem.
"Of course I can tell you what happened."
Alex smiled, "Mr. Marko, this isn't the world you're familiar with."
"Have you heard of parallel universes?"
Marko shook his head.
Alex wasn't surprised. Marko was just an unlucky criminal. It would be strange if he knew about parallel universes.
Alex raised his hand, and a gray ball of light appeared at his fingertip. It contained knowledge about parallel universes, as well as information about why Marko had come to this universe.
Using 'Mental Transmission,' Alex teleported beside Sandman and used 'Knowledge Projection' to directly send the information ball into Marko's knowledge-poor mind.
Marko was startled by Alex's sudden movement, then felt a large amount of knowledge and information appear in his mind.
It took him quite some time.
Only then did he digest it, "Are you a magician?"
"Parallel universes."
"An out-of-control spell."
"Everyone who knows Peter Parker gets pulled here from other universes?"
"That's impossible!"
Even after learning the truth, he still refused to believe it.
Alex shrugged, "Then have you found your daughter?"
Marko cared most about his daughter.
After arriving in this universe, he had immediately gone looking for her.
However, the house he had once known had become a commercial building. He couldn't even find his home, let alone his daughter.
"What should I do, then?"
Marko looked into the distance, "Maybe Peter Parker can help me."
"No," Alex smiled, "The Spider-Man of this universe is a little different from the one you know."
"He's a ruthless superhero who can kill people without them even knowing."
"Right now, he's hunting down 'illegal travelers' like you."
"If you don't believe me, come with me."
After saying this, Alex slowly flew toward the place where Peter Parker and Electro were fighting.
'Sandman' Marko hesitated, but eventually followed.
After arriving nearby, they found a place to hide.
Not far away, Spider-Man landed on a power tower. He kept shooting webs, attaching them to the cable connectors on the tower.
He planned to pull out the cables and cut off the power supply to his opponent.
Electro naturally wasn't going to surrender without a fight.
He kept firing streams of high-voltage electricity at Spider-Man. Spider-Man's spider-sense played a crucial role at this moment.
It allowed Peter Parker to dodge nimbly while still completing his task.
Once all the cable connectors nearby had been attached to webs, Peter Parker shouted and pulled with all his strength, ripping all the connectors loose.
Immediately, several nearby power towers erupted with sparks.
Electro lost his power supply. The electricity gradually contracted back into his body, turning him into a naked man.
He stared at his arms in disbelief, "I'm back to normal?"
Spider-Man said, "Hey, listen."
"I know this sounds crazy, but this isn't your universe."
The man looked around, "Another universe?"
"No wonder I felt that the electricity was different."
"I like this."
His eyes lit up.
On the phone screen, Ned and MJ shouted, ["Peter, hurry up and act."]
Peter Parker immediately fired a beam of magic light. It struck the Black man, and he instantly disappeared from where he stood.
This frightened 'Sandman' Marko badly.
"What did he do?"
"Did he kill that guy?"
Alex shrugged beside him, "What did I say just now?"
Marko backed away repeatedly, "What am I supposed to do? I can't go back, and Spider-Man will hunt me down."
"Don't worry, buddy."
Alex pointed into the distance, "I'm here to deal with this. You can leave and find somewhere to hide. Don't let anyone find you."
"I guarantee that within three days at most, you'll be able to go back and see your lovely daughter."
"Really?"
Marko was half-convinced.
Alex turned sideways and made a 'please' gesture, "Or perhaps you can go find Peter Parker?"
Marko ultimately chose to leave.
Alex watched him turn into a stream of sand and quickly disappear deep into the forest. His mental flame soon moved farther away.
"Just as I thought. He's a simple-minded guy."
"Let's see if I can turn into Sandman."
He had tricked Marko into leaving precisely so that he could transform into Sandman and approach Peter Parker under the identity of an original-story character.
Meanwhile, after sending Electro away, Spider-Man looked at the power tower that had been tilted by the battle.
["Peter, aren't you coming back?"]
MJ said from the phone screen.
Peter Parker pointed at the power towers, "I have to put them back. Otherwise, our college dream is still going to go down the drain."
Just then, a deep voice sounded behind him, "I can help."
Both Spider-Man and Ned on the other end of the phone were startled.
Peter Parker spun around and saw a figure made of sand appear in front of him.
["What's with this guy?"]
["Is his body made of sand?"]
["That's amazing."]
On the screen, although Staro was a robot, it was operating completely according to the logic of Ned and MJ, making the two robots' mannerisms almost identical to real people.
Peter Parker looked him up and down, "Sir, who are you?"
Alex, who had transformed into Sandman's appearance using Transformation, immediately asked nervously while imitating Sandman's personality, "What's going on?"
"Why are you pretending to be Spider-Man?"
"Where's the real Spider-Man?"
"I need his help!"
Spider-Man hurriedly said, "I'm Peter Parker. I'm also Spider-Man."
"This isn't your original universe."
"I can explain everything, sir."
Alex had already raised his fist. Given Marko's personality, he wouldn't listen to some strange kid explain anything.
Peter Parker looked at Alex's raised fist, "Don't!"
Alex threw a punch.
The next second, he arrived inside the dungeon beneath the Sanctum Sanctorum.
He had taken the place of the real Flint Marko and come here.
"NOOO!"
Do the full act.
Alex gently tapped on the 'cell's' barrier, afraid that he would break it if he used even a little more force.
In a cell not far away, Doctor Octopus Otto waved at Alex in greeting.
———
"Help!"
"Help!"
On the streets of New York late at night, a woman hurried into a small alley. She suddenly stopped because it was a dead end.
When she turned around to run, several thugs had already entered the mouth of the alley.
"Hey, pretty lady."
"Leave anything valuable on you."
"That way, we can all save ourselves some trouble."
One of the thugs pulled out a small knife and said with a grin.
The woman didn't dare resist and quickly threw out her handbag.
The thug in the red trench coat picked up the wallet and whistled as he prepared to leave.
Suddenly, a web shot over, stuck to the handbag, and pulled it back into the darkness above the woman's head.
The thugs and the woman all looked up at the shadows.
From within the darkness, a person wearing a red-and-blue suit and a Spider-Man mask slowly hung down upside down.
"Damn it! It's Spider-Man."
"Run!"
"Peter Parker, I advise you not to interfere."
"Stop talking and go."
The thugs soon ran away completely.
Spider-Man dropped from the shadows to the ground and handed the handbag to the woman, "Your things, ma'am."
"Thank you, Peter Parker."
The woman smiled, "I support you. Keep it up."
After the woman left, this Spider-Man took off his mask, revealing a man in his thirties with messy hair, "Strange. Why does everyone know my name?"
In the shadows above his head, a spider silently watched him.
