Chapter 311
"Hiss——"
Someone was made very comfortable by this, and couldn't help but lovingly stroke Peni's back, concerned, "What's wrong, did you choke?"
"Cough... m-mm..."
Peni calmed down a bit and hurriedly said.
"It's bad! Venom is attacking Uncle Ben and Aunt May at the institute; I have to rush over immediately!"
"Is it that Venom mech you mentioned?"
Ye Li recalled in his memory—the "Venom" of this universe was not a symbiote, but a humanoid mech, and it had the risk of devouring the pilot and going berserk.
[Triggered Peni Parker "Connection Task": Help Peni Parker save Ben Parker and May]
[Task completed, can stack "Peni Parker" template]
—The system also gave a task.
Although the improvement brought by template stacking was already very small.
But since they were Peni's family, he definitely had to help save them.
Calculating it this way, getting a task reward along the way wasn't bad either.
"I'll go with you; maybe I can help." Ye Li straightened his clothes and said.
"Thank you, Li..."
Peni knew his power and didn't refuse, only thanking him sincerely.
Ye Li looked at Galacta.
"Hmph~ it still has to rely on me."
Galacta proudly raised her head, spread her hands, hugged Ye Li's waist with one hand and Peni's shoulder with the other, energy seeming to flash in her eyes, tearing the space around her, and instantly brought Ye Li and the others outside the institute.
Boom...!
A violent sound.
Looking toward the sound, one could see.
The Venom mech was rampaging wildly, tearing the institute to pieces, leaving a mess everywhere.
"Aunt May!! Uncle Ben!!"
Peni Parker's eyes were splitting with rage, and she subconsciously wanted to run over there.
Ye Li hurriedly pressed her shoulder, stopping her, "Peni, don't be impulsive. Don't forget, you don't have SP//dr right now."
Peni said anxiously, "But Aunt May and the others..."
"Leave it to me."
Ye Li handed her to Galacta and stepped forward, heading toward the Venom mech.
Seeing this, Peni couldn't help but shout worriedly, "Li, be careful, Venom is very dangerous!"
"Relax~"
Ye Li raised his hand, gave an OK sign behind him, and said without looking back, "Just a small character."
Roar!!————!!
Seemingly having heard Ye Li's mockery, the Venom mech suddenly turned its head to look at him, its face hideous as it let out a roar.
"Heh, the appearance is not bad."
Ye Li chuckled, and without waiting for the Venom mech to strike, his figure flashed, appearing on its back, and he pointed a finger at it, activating the Rat Talisman's ability, wanting to directly transform and control it.
But to his surprise—
Bang~!
The power of the Rat Talisman was actually repelled and bounced off.
In this situation, there was only one possibility.
That is—the Venom mech itself possessed life, so the Rat Talisman's ability to grant intelligence was ineffective against it.
And this action of Ye Li's also further enraged the Venom mech.
It immediately turned around and threw a punch, its long arm carrying immense power as it stabbed at him!
"Li!!"
Peni thought Ye Li had missed, and her expression changed drastically, losing control of her emotions as she ran over, crying out miserably, "Eddie! Stop—! Don't hurt him!!"
"Eh? Peni, don't go over."
Galacta was slightly stunned, then hurriedly reached out and hugged Peni, "Are you going over to add to the chaos?"
"Sister Galacta, Li is in danger! Eddie is my classmate and friend; maybe I can try to wake him up!"
"Li will be fine, just watch."
Galacta knew that with Ye Li's true strength, he could destroy this world, so how could he be hurt by such a robot.
Sure enough.
Looking again, one could see.
The Venom mech's punch, which was enough to pierce alloy steel plates, was easily stopped by Ye Li with one finger.
Looking closely, one would find that his fingertip was wrapped in scarlet energy, and as his finger gently swayed, more and more scarlet energy appeared, surrounding the Venom mech completely in the blink of an eye.
The scarlet energy didn't look very fast, but it gave the Venom mech no chance to break free, binding it firmly in place.
"Since you already have life, then I won't be polite."
Ye Li curled his lips, activated mental intrusion, and massive mental power pressed down on the Venom mech.
Soon, its manic state gradually calmed down.
Even.
Bang..
It knelt on both legs, prostrating itself before him.
[Peni Parker "Connection Task" completed]
[Stacked "Peni Parker" template]
Clap, clap~
Ye Li clapped his hands and said easily, "Done, job finished."
"Li!"
Peni Parker hurriedly ran over, surprised, "It's solved just like that? You're so amazing..."
"Am I amazing? Don't you know? Hmm?" Ye Li pinched her little bottom and teased.
"Oh my~!" Peni covered her behind with both little hands, shyly, "What are you saying..."
"Right!"
She suddenly thought of something and pointed at the Venom mech, "Li, can you open it? My classmate Eddie is still inside; maybe there's still hope..."
"Mm, let me see."
Ye Li controlled the Venom mech and was about to open the hatch to check.
"There's no hope..."
Aunt May walked out of the institute, sadly, "Since Venom went berserk, it means Eddie has already been eaten by it..."
Ben Parker followed closely behind and also sighed, "Sigh, this child, we warned him long ago not to touch this mech, didn't expect him to still..."
Zzzzz...
Just at this moment.
A flickering golden space-time portal suddenly appeared out of thin air, attracting everyone's attention.
Under everyone's gaze.
A strong figure wearing a blue-bottomed red-patterned bodysuit walked out of the portal.
He was—
Spider-Man 2099.
Miguel O'Hara (Spider-Man 2099) scanned the area and finally let his gaze fall on Aunt May and Ben Parker, "Why aren't you dead, and why hasn't this universe collapsed?"
Ben and May both showed displeasure upon hearing this.
What do you mean why aren't we dead?
Do you really want us to die?
"Who are you? Why are you dressed so much like a few of my friends?"
Peni Parker also blocked in front of Ben and May, looking vigilantly at this person of unknown origin.
After all, what Miguel said sounded a bit like a villain, and his appearance and style were hard not to notice.
"Miguel O'Hara." Miguel said in a low voice, "As you can see, I am also a Spider-Man, specifically here in your universe to investigate abnormal events to protect this universe and prevent it from collapsing."
Peni Parker doubted: "What abnormal events? That would make my universe collapse?"
Miguel didn't answer immediately, moved his gaze to Ye Li and Galacta, and then continued, "You don't belong to this world; you shouldn't have saved May and Ben Parker, who were supposed to die. This will lead to a greater unknown crisis!"
"Without Li, Aunt May and Uncle Ben would have died...?"
"Girl, you don't seem to have heard the point I made..."
Miguel emphasized again, "If people who were supposed to die in the [Web of Life and Destiny] don't die, it will lead to a greater disaster and cause this universe to collapse!"
Swish————
At this moment.
Gwen swung on a web and landed in the field.
"But sir, the situation you described hasn't happened yet.
If your deduction is wrong, many people who could have been saved will lose their lives."
She had just arrived and happened to hear Miguel's remarks, so she spoke up to refute.
As she spoke, Gwen looked at Galacta and said slightly speechless, "Hey, Galacta, how could you forget me."
Galacta smiled playfully, "I didn't see that you were quite tired from being tossed around by Li~ so I didn't bring you."
The two girls were greeting each other.
Miguel was somewhat silenced by Gwen's words.
Because the facts were right before his eyes—even though Ben Parker and May were saved, the Earth-14512 universe was still perfectly fine, and nothing had changed...
For a moment, Miguel fell into deep self-doubt, "Is there something special about this universe, or have I been wrong all along..."
"Maybe that's the case, Miguel..."
From the space-time portal, another red-and-blue figure stepped out, saying with a slightly dissatisfied tone, "I've felt for a long time that your philosophy has problems."
His style was very similar to a typical Spider-Man, but with some punk elements on his body.
—Hobie Brown, Spider-Punk, from Universe 138.
He took off his mask with studs, shook out a thick head of dreadlocks, and then walked toward Gwen, extending his hand.
"Hello, beautiful Spider-Girl, let's get to know each other, my name is Hobie Brown.
I agree with what you said very much. May I ask your name?
I think we could be friends."
Gwen looked at his big lips and lip piercing, stepped back slightly without a trace, and smiled politely, "Sir, although I like making friends, I'm sorry... we just met."
Bang———!!
Between the two, a dirt wall suddenly rose from the ground.
"Kid, keep your distance, don't stand so close." Ye Li said unhappily.
Clearly, this dirt wall was his doing.
"Whoa~ cool! Magic?" Hobie Brown stood on tiptoe and asked Gwen on the other side, "Who is this gentleman with the not-so-good temper—?"
Gwen looked at Ye Li and smiled, "My boyfriend~ he's actually very gentle."
Tap tap~
Hobie Brown knocked on the dirt wall in front of him, "Can't really tell... but your boyfriend is indeed very handsome, although not the type I like~"
"You... the type you like?" Gwen seemed to have grasped some point, and her expression became slightly strange.
"Yeah, you guys seemed to have misunderstood just now." Hobie Brown explained with a smile, "I like men."
"Huh?"
Ye Li was a bit embarrassed...
"Pfft~" Gwen couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.
After some misunderstanding, both sides got to know each other like this.
Ye Li and the others also understood the origins of Miguel and Hobie—
—They came from the Spider-Society.
The Spider-Society headquarters is located in the Earth-928 universe, with hundreds of Spider-Men from various parallel universes, dedicated to solving abnormal problems occurring in the [Spider-Verse].
And the founder and current manager of the Spider-Society is none other than Miguel O'Hara.
As for why Miguel O'Hara created the Spider-Society, that story has to start from the beginning.
Miguel lost his daughter in an accident, and his self from another universe was killed by thugs, so he replaced his self from that other universe and became the father of that universe's daughter.
But this action destroyed the trajectory created by the "Web of Destiny", leading to the destruction of that universe.
It was this time that Miguel discovered the existence of the "Web of Destiny", so he created the Spider-Society, recruiting Spider-Men from various universes to solve abnormal events in the Spider-Verse.
After listening to their story.
Gwen leaned close to Ye Li and whispered, "The Web of Destiny they're talking about, why does it sound like that thing you..."
Ye Li smiled mysteriously and said, "It's the same kind you're wearing."
"This Spider-Society is interesting; let's go visit."
He walked toward the space-time portal that brought Miguel over, sensed the destination was correct, and lifted his leg to step into it.
With Ye Li leading, Gwen and Galacta had no choice but to follow.
Seeing this, Peni hurriedly ran over, grabbed Ye Li and asked, "Li, are you guys going to join the Spider-Society too?"
"Just visiting, rest assured, I won't leave you behind." Ye Li smiled and patted her little head.
"Then I'm going too!" Peni raised her hand and said.
"Ahem!"
Miguel coughed twice and reminded, "I say, did you guys get the consent of me, the host?"
"Don't be so stingy~" Galacta put her hand on Ye Li's shoulder, propped her chin and smiled, "This one being willing to go to the Spider-Society is your honor."
"Honor? Heh~"
Miguel was also a decisive and arrogant character, and upon hearing this, he said disdainfully, "Who is he, that I should feel honored?"
