Chapter 407

"What?"

"Huh?"

"I've come to help you fight those guys, and it seems pretty dangerous."

"What I meant to say is, I've come to help you get back to your own universe. Staying in another parallel universe forever isn't really a solution."

"That's right."

At this moment, Xu Can also delivered an Oscar-worthy, god-tier performance.

Though his eyes were clearly filled with reluctance, his longing for Gwen, his guilt, and the joy of a reunion after so long,

he still said the line with deliberate casualness.

Gwen, too, looked at Peter with a complicated gaze,

and so the two most familiar strangers across two universes sat side by side on the edge of the rooftop, each with their own thoughts.

……

In some corner of New York City, the Vulture and the Green Goblin were conferring and plotting.

"I'll handle S. H. I. E. L. D.'s equipment for you, you provide the funding, and you help me deal with Spider-Man. How about it?"

"That bug flying around everywhere? Sure, why not."

The Vulture's eyes were filled with a sinister, hawkish gleam.

The former Batman, Michael Keaton's performance was equally top-tier Hollywood.

He brought out the Vulture's cunning and viciousness—appearing to go along with the Green Goblin on the surface, while actually holding something back for himself.

……

In another corner of New York, Sandman was getting used to his new body, and he tottered shakily to the window of his own home.

His wife was taking care of their sick daughter.

Sandman had wanted to go in, but feared that his sandy appearance would scare his daughter.

To pay for his daughter's terminal illness treatment, he could only turn and leave, continuing to rob banks to raise money for her.

……

At night in Times Square, Electro had just crawled out of an Oscorp Tech research lab.

His whole body was crackling with blue light, already transformed into a monstrous form, causing a commotion among the crowd.

Very quickly, the abnormality here was noticed by the police.

"NYPD, we have a 10-85 situation here, need backup."

Peter and Gwen, sitting on the rooftop chatting, suddenly heard the police radio channel. Spider-Man knew there was work to do again,

this night was destined to be anything but peaceful.

"I have something to take care of, I'll be right back."

Peter had just fired a web and swung away, when Spider-Gwen, wearing her mask, followed right behind.

"Forgot already? I'm a Spider-Man too."

"It's dangerous."

"Let's see who gets there first!" Spider-Gwen took off first.

The two's competitive spirit flared up once again.

In the New York City night sky, two Spider-Men swung between the buildings, weaving forward side by side.

Combined with the movie's captivating color palette, the whole scene was absolutely stunning!

The two Spider-Men landed almost at the same time, exchanged a glance, and had no time to admire each other.

Electro was currently wreaking havoc in Times Square!

"Don't come near me!"

"Hands up! Get down on the ground!"

The police advanced step by step with guns raised.

"I said don't come over!"

Bzzt bzzt bzzt……

Electro unleashed an electromagnetic shockwave, instantly flipping the surrounding police cars!

Violent electric currents shot out in all directions, knocking the police officers present to the ground!

Seeing things go south, Peter and Gwen sprang into action almost simultaneously, stopping the police cars that had been flung into the air and saving the civilians!

"Yo, Sparky! Calm down!"

Peter Parker stepped forward, trying to communicate with Electro.

"Spider-Man! Is that you?"

"You're a fan of mine too?"

"No! This is all your fault! If you hadn't wrecked the place at the Oscorp Building, I wouldn't have been demoted, become a freaking low-level electrician! I wouldn't have ended up looking like this!"

It turned out that last time in Spider-Man 2, in order to stop the Green Goblin, Peter Parker had damaged the electrical equipment on the top floor.

This caused the engineer Max to be demoted to a regular electrician, and during a repair job he was transformed into Electro.

In theory, both accidents were engineered by the Green Goblin, but Electro pinned the blame on Spider-Man.

"I don't want to hurt anyone else, you forced me into this!"

"Calm down first. I'm sorry for what happened to you. Cut the sparks, and we can talk it through slowly."

Spider-Man tried to keep the situation under control, and Electro temporarily stabilized—but the next second, a sniper in the distance fired a shot and enraged Electro.

A fierce battle was inevitable!

Spider-Man fired a web over, but it was countered by the electricity, and he was sent flying in an instant!

"Peter!"

Gwen hurried over to entangle Electro, and soon, the two Spider-Men, with their tacit coordination, engaged Electro in an intense battle.

Electro was hard-pressed to fight four hands at once, in a precarious situation.

In a fit of rage, he used the electromagnetic effect to instantly send the surrounding vehicles flying!

Seeing the cars flying toward the crowd, Spider-Man and Gwen joined forces to save the New York citizens.

But Electro burrowed into the electrical circuit and escaped without a trace.

……

Because Shi Daixi was wandering the streets with nowhere to go.

Peter felt his rented room was too messy and embarrassing, so he brought her to Aunt Mei's house.

The moment Aunt Mei saw Gwen, she couldn't believe her own eyes.

"Gwen?"

"She's... Gwanda, a new friend I just met, not our Gwen."

Peter quickly explained.

"She's homeless, can she stay here for a while?"

"Of course, she's very welcome!"

Aunt Mei, who lived alone in an empty house, was very happy and hurriedly let Gwen inside.

"Gwanda? You reacted fast enough." Gwen secretly laughed and teased.

The moment she saw Aunt Mei, Gwen was also very excited.

In her own universe, Aunt Mei had lost Peter and spent every day in sorrow.

The Aunt Mei here looked very happy.

Gwen, as if she were at home, went to the bathroom to wash up with familiar ease.

After her bath, she wore Peter's oversized T-shirt, showing off her long legs, looking like a lotus fresh out of the water, stunning Peter Parker silly.

"Rude, staring at the Miss like that." Aunt Mei slapped Peter and brought over steaming hot meat rolls.

"You must be hungry, eat quickly."

Aunt Mei's meat rolls — known to people in both universes.

Gwen could only eat awkwardly while watching the news on TV.

The news briefly reported on the Electro incident just now — the two Spider-Men joining forces to rescue the citizens.

"Suddenly another Spider-Woman appeared — does Spider-Man have a girlfriend?"

The discussion on the news made Gwen blush to her ears.

Soon, the latest news appeared on the TV again.
