Chapter 1619: No Time to Die (Part 18)

Cat Getan's moonlight is exceptionally bright tonight. The dark clouds seem to have suddenly shown mercy at night, leaving their long-lingering place. Under the moonlight, the silhouettes of high-rise buildings are like the black keys of a piano, and two figures constantly leaping between them play a nocturne with passionate beats.

Spider-Man, with his long limbs, jumps over the gaps between one building after another with an extremely graceful and vigorous posture, constantly swinging between buildings using spider silk, like a bird dancing in a storm.

The strong Batman erupts with unimaginable power from his muscular body. Every landing is like a heavy hammer. When he spreads his bat wings and glides between buildings, deep shadows spread, filled with unspeakable fear.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

Several black, hard-to-detect batarangs brush past Spider-Man's arms and ears, but not a single one can hit him. Spider-Man is like a perfect aerial stunt performer, stretching his limbs, making the most accurate and graceful dodging posture within a reaction time of less than a fraction of a second.

A huge shadow passes over his head, and Batman's spread bat wings completely cover Spider-Man's figure. Spider-Man is not to be outdone. While swinging again using spider silk, he raises his arm with the spider-silk shooter, and the spider-silk sticky bomb is fired. But when it touches Batman's cape, it slides off like a raindrop on the eaves.

What the hell, Spider-Man thinks to himself, what material is his cape made of? Why can't the spider-silk sticky bomb improved by Mr. Stark stick to it? Or is there something wrong with the rainwater in this city?

The same slightly surprised thought also appeared in Batman's mind. Whose subordinate is this kid in front? Dodging batarangs as if he knew the future is one thing, but why can't his batarangs, which he just updated the material for, cut the spider silk he stuck to the building?

And as the chase continued to evolve, the surprise in both of their hearts grew stronger. This time, it was mainly shock at the other's extremely abundant physical strength and the focus that didn't waver at all despite high-intensity flight and dodging.

Spider-Man originally made up his mind to fight a war of attrition with this bat freak. He had never encountered an opponent who could beat him in city flight battles before. Although Spider-Man's immense strength is always talked about, his true strengths are actually the flexibility and balance in agility, as well as the slower time experience brought by the spider-sense compared to ordinary people.

One second in the eyes of ordinary people might be ten seconds long in the eyes of a focused Spider-Man. This is especially important in aerial chase battles. Spider-Man has more time to adjust his posture in the air, ensuring that every attack and dodge can be completed in the most time-saving, labor-saving, and effective way.

But Batman is also good at this. His grappling hook and bat cape ensure he can swing and glide in the air. Similarly, there is no one in this world who can compare with Batman in concentration. He can ensure that every one of his movements is completely under control, without any accidents.

Batman was also waiting for Spider-Man to fail to hold on first. In his view, this was a matter of course, and didn't even need any deduction. Batman could see just by looking that the teenager in front was not old, maybe sixteen or seventeen, far from the golden age of male physical fitness.

Batman deduced that he should be about the same as Dick in terms of endurance and concentration, so he should fail to hold on within two hours because of physical exhaustion or lack of concentration, leading to mistakes in his movements.

Then the two chased for five full hours, circling Cat Getan City from the air six times, until dawn was about to break, and neither had caught up to the other.

Of course, Batman had already discovered that his initial judgment was wrong in about an hour. He could have adjusted his strategy and used other methods to force Spider-Man to stop, but he became curious. He wanted to see what the teenager's limit was.

As a result, Spider-Man's limit wasn't really measured, but the thickness of the roofs of the buildings was almost measured. If they continued like this, they would have to shave all the high-rise buildings in Cat Getan bald.

Finally, Batman accelerated into a dive, followed by the grappling hook hanging onto the roof of the highest building. The grappling hook retracted at high speed, and he stopped on the roof, grabbed the end of his cape, waved it hard, and then slowly retracted his strength, standing on the edge of the roof.

Spider-Man stopped on the roof of the nearest high-rise building, looked at Batman on the opposite side with his hands on his hips, and said: "Not chasing anymore? I can still run like this for a day!"

"Do you have superpowers?" Another affirmative question.

But unfortunately, Spider-Man couldn't understand this kind of strange tone. He nodded forcefully and said: "Yeah, I have superpowers. I was bitten by a spider, and then I possessed the spider's ability. But it's not entirely a spider's ability. My strength is very great, and I won't get tired."

"Oh, right, don't throw that kind of small flying dart of yours. You can't hit me. My spider-sense is very sensitive, like a radar warning of danger. Within a few seconds before you make a move, I know where you are going to throw the weapon. I have enough time to dodge."

"Also, although I am Spider-Man, I don't spit silk. The spider-silk shooter on my hand was built by myself. I updated it two days ago, but the sticky bomb inside doesn't seem to work on your cape."

"That, are you the Batman they talk about? You are cooler than I imagined. I thought you would be a big bat with human limbs. I didn't expect the cape to just look a bit like one."

"Your cape is too cool. Actually, I considered having a cape when I made my combat suit, but spiders don't have wings, so I didn't know what style to have. And I heard that if you have a cape, you will be grabbed by others when fighting. Have you never been grabbed by the cape?"

Batman stood on the opposite building, looking at Spider-Man in silence. This great detective was a bit dazed now.

Because this was the first time he had experienced someone who didn't need his interrogation, didn't even need his questioning, and didn't even need his investigation and guessing to report his own family and say all his information so clearly.

This was also the first time he had seen someone who could ramble on for more than ten minutes without gasping for breath after a high-intensity chase for five hours.

Spider-Man jumped on the spot, jumped four meters high with a "whoosh," jumped onto the building where Batman was, and then darted behind him, staring at his cape and looking fiercely.

"What material is your cape made of? It's too magical. I must study it with Mr. Stark when I go back and create a sticky bomb specifically for this material."

Batman suddenly captured the keyword in his words, then looked at the person's body shape again calmly, listened to his voice carefully, and said.

"Peter Parker?"

"Uh..."

Spider-Man was like suddenly being pinched by the neck, and the spider compound eyes on his mask widened immediately.

Batman sighed silently in his heart. The recent depressed emotion affected his judgment. He should have seen long ago that this was the teenage version of Peter Parker.

When Batman entered Stark's mind, he had seen Peter Parker, but the Peter Parker in the universe where Schiller was was more like a researcher. During the time Batman was there, Peter didn't wear a Spider-Man suit at all. Batman's impression of him was just a genius young researcher.

And this Peter Parker had an age gap with the Peter Parker Batman usually saw, and his personality seemed different. If it weren't for the fact that the bone structure and voice were indeed similar, Batman wouldn't have made this judgment.

"How did you get here?"

Another question, but Batman already had the answer in his heart. Besides the Flash, who else could it be?

"Uh, I suddenly saw a universe travel group activity on an APP. I just started summer vacation recently, so I thought I'd go and participate. I didn't expect there was no travel group at the designated location at all, just me."

"I saw a big hole in front, and there was a sign next to it that said 'Universe Travel This Way', so I jumped down. As soon as I landed, I saw a freak glowing with golden light, who brought me directly to this city and threw me down from a height of more than two meters."

Spider-Man became angrier as he spoke. He snorted through his nose and said: "Don't let me catch him! There were no walls around at that time, and I couldn't swing with spider silk, but I really fell down hard. I haven't fallen so painfully for a long time."

"You said you are called Batman, then are you the superhero of this city? Can you find a way to send me home? I still have homework to do."

"Also, the sheriff said he hadn't heard of New York before. Is it possible that there is no New York City in this universe? Is it possible that there is no New York State? Then what is the location where New York was originally called? And what is this city called? Why are you Batman in this city, and why are you called Batman? Were you bitten by a bat? Or did you eat a bat?"

"This is Cat Getan." Batman turned around, waved his cape lightly, and said: "If you want to know more, then follow me."

"Alright, mysterious freak, but this is still quite cool. I climbed to the highest building to look at the scenery when I came here before. I found that although this city is as prosperous as New York, there is an indescribable chaos, especially the traffic. Look underneath, it seems to be blocked again..."

"We previously dealt with a particularly powerful enemy called Thanos. He collected many very powerful gems in the universe. How powerful are they? Let me give you an example. As long as you put them all on the glove and snap your fingers lightly, half of the life in the universe will be destroyed."

"That Thanos really got the glove and snapped his fingers, and half of the people in the universe died. But I was thrown into another universe in the last second before I died, which can be considered a narrow escape. Later, Mr. Stark also found his way over, and then partners from another universe helped us restore the order of our universe, and the half who died also came back to life."

"Sounds very magical, right? Actually, I also think it's quite magical. I'm still in high school, and I've already experienced the major event of world destruction. Unfortunately, I can't tell my classmates anything. That would scare them. They don't even know I'm Spider-Man. But it's better if they don't know, otherwise they might tell my parents. If my uncle and aunt knew I was Spider-Man, they would

Batman had walked less than two hundred meters with Spider-Man. Within these few minutes, Spider-Man's mouth had not stopped once. By the time they arrived at the roof of the Wei En Tower, Batman had almost passively learned about his ancestors back eighteen generations.

Finally, Batman stood at the edge of the Wei En Tower roof, having completely forgotten what he had originally intended to say to Spider-Man.

Perhaps he was going to recount the dark history of this city, or perhaps he was going to recount the tragic fate of the superheroes in this city, but his brain was now filled with Spider-Man's endless chatter.

"Can you stop for a moment, Spider-Man?"

"Stop what, walking? Is this our destination? Oh, wait, so we've already climbed to this tallest building. I've seen the scenery here before; I feel that although this city is about as prosperous as New York, it has an indescribable messiness, especially the traffic. Look down there, it seems there's a traffic jam again..."

"I mean, can your mouth be closed for a moment?"

"Why? Do you not like me talking? Or do you think I'm too noisy? But I think it's fine. Come on! I've come to a new universe and seen a big city about the same size as New York; can I not marvel for a while? I..."

"Shut up!"
