Chapter 2112: The Ultimate New World (Part 29)
"Hello, that... no, don't be afraid, I have no malice." The young man immediately separated his hands and raised them in front of him, and said, "My name is Peter Parker, a researcher at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. I work nearby!"
Peter pointed to himself with his finger, and then spread his arms again to show that he absolutely had no malice. Aisha felt that this name was a bit familiar. Suddenly, she showed a sudden realization expression.
Bruce turned his head to look at Aisha. He now trusted Aisha's judgment very much. Although he didn't know how it was, Aisha's father seemed to have passed on his superb intelligence and precise judgment to this little girl. Anyway, it was definitely stronger than his own. Trusting her was definitely right.
Aisha looked at Bruce and nodded. Bruce knew that Peter Parker wasn't lying. He looked left and right, found that the thick fog didn't mean to dissipate, so he walked up and shook hands with Peter, saying, "Bruce Wei En, are you lost too?"
Peter, however, stared in disbelief, stunned as he looked at Bruce and said, "You said you are Bruce Wei En, I didn't hear it wrong, right? You are Batman??!"
Now it was Bruce's turn to be stunned. He blinked and said, "You come from the same universe as me, and you are also from Cat Getan?"
"No, of course not, but I have read 'Cat Getan Travel Notes'. Oh, it's a diary written by a Spider-Man who went to your universe to travel. It mentioned you, Batman. You are a great hero."
Bruce took about two minutes to process the amount of information in this sentence. In other words, this guy named Peter Parker knew a Spider-Man who had been to Cat Getan. Of course, maybe it wasn't his Cat Getan, but the Cat Getan of other universes.
Then he traveled around there, wrote down what he saw and heard, and it happened to be seen by Peter Parker. Perhaps he also took photos of Batman, knew his real name, and so they met here today.
Bruce felt that this was a bit too coincidental. Could it be that there was an arrangement in the dark? But Aisha was thinking about another thing.
Because the previous Spider-Man went to the Cat Getan of the main universe, Aisha also knew the great name of Spider-Man, especially from the mouths of Gothamites in the main universe. She knew as much about Spider-Man's abilities as New Yorkers.
And she could analyze more. For example, through some oral legends of Spider-Man's deeds, she could infer his specific power level, infer his intelligence and reaction ability through his reaction when facing emergencies, and infer his scientific research ability and experience through the equipment on his body.
What could be determined was that Spider-Man had fairly powerful strength, but Aisha couldn't infer the upper limit for the time being, or perhaps there was no upper limit at all. Give him a fulcrum, and he could throw the Earth.
Secondly, what made Aisha feel confused was that the same problem appeared in many of Spider-Man's deeds, which was that Spider-Man's reaction was a bit too fast when facing critical situations, or that couldn't be called a reaction at all, more like advance prediction, and then avoiding it.
This couldn't be a coincidence. This showed that Spider-Man probably really had similar predictive abilities.
And in this universe where the timeline had been reset several times, Bruce and Aisha found that they had returned to the original starting point again. Although Bruce was angry, Aisha still remained rational. She pulled Bruce to review.
Aisha clearly knew that the primary task now was not to follow the furious Bruce to find someone to settle accounts. Even if they were to settle accounts, that was a matter for later. Now they must figure out who was blocking them and why they were blocking them.
This Bruce's language logic wasn't that strong, which also had its benefits. He would talk about a lot of details like an ordinary person to avoid missing details, and it was also easy to be guided to recall many details.
Aisha slowly asked about Bruce's encounters in the previous time resets. Of course, Bruce also told Aisha the details of him exploring the warehouse and being bitten by a spider. But at that time, Aisha also thought it was just a small accident and didn't link being bitten by a spider and Bruce suddenly gaining power together.
But Aisha could also be called a smart person who understood everything at once. After seeing Spider-Man and associating it with Spider-Man's series of abilities, she immediately thought that Bruce had very likely gained Spider-Man's abilities.
Then the question arose: being bitten by a spider and becoming Spider-Man, then how many Spider-Men would there be in this world? And if one wanted to become Spider-Man, not only did they have to be bitten by a spider, what other conditions were there?
Because information was insufficient at this time, Aisha didn't speak rashly. She heard Peter say a bit anxiously, "Sorry, but I really want to ask if you know how to go to... alright, you might not have heard of that laboratory, but you should know that there is a dome house in that place, with a circular square around it, it's quite conspicuous. Did you see it when you were driving just now?"
Bruce was a bit blank, but Aisha jumped and said, "Suburbs, we are going to the suburbs."
Bruce suddenly realized, and said, "Did you drive in the wrong direction? If you want to go to the Bay Area, shouldn't you go south? This is the road out of the city, we are going to the suburbs."
"Impossible!" Peter was completely confused, and said, "I got out of the car near the Bay Area. That driver said he was running out of gas and was going to refuel, so he let me down in advance. I thought it wasn't far, so I walked a few steps and arrived. I didn't expect it to be foggy."
"We had almost left the downtown area of San Francisco before driving into this fog."
Both were a bit dazed, and both doubted whether they hadn't woken up or were having hallucinations.
"Mysticism." Aisha shouted a word. Bruce couldn't understand what she meant for a while, but Peter was Spider-Man after all, and could be considered to have seen big storms. He put his hands on his hips, looked around, sighed, and shook his head.
"Looks like we're in trouble, but I really have something urgent. The professor's experiment has achieved a major breakthrough. He finally found a suitable ignition particle and is starting the high-energy physics collider. I have to get there quickly..."
"Oh, you have a car, right?" Peter looked at Bruce's car and said, "How about I get in your car, and we try driving forward?"
"The car ran out of gas and won't start. Otherwise, why would I stop here? I also have something urgent to do."
The two were speechless. Peter turned his head to look into the depths of the thick fog. That ethereal figure was still standing in the distance, and was still in the distance now.
"Hey, old man, how long are you going to stand there? If you have anything, come over. If not, send us out. What is this for? Trapping us all here, what good does it do you?"
Peter waved his hand, sighed quite annoyedly, shook his head, and said, "Nothing has gone well recently. I'm so depressed I just want to find someone to fight."
"Who isn't?" Bruce turned his back and leaned against the car, hugging his arms and saying unhappily, "I bet if you heard my experience, you would definitely feel that you are living the happiest life in the world."
Peter was a bit unconvinced. He was feeling annoyed right now.
About two weeks ago, Stark came to find him, saying he hoped he could open a Spider Totem portal to other universes.
But just a few days before Stark came, the Spider Army clearly reiterated the regulation of not allowing the abuse of Spider Totem portals, and this regulation was exactly what the first few Spider-Men who joined the Spider Army, that is, Peter and the others, researched, in order to enhance the stability of the cosmic structure.
Peter actually knew long ago that the stability of his universe's structure was already a mess, and he didn't know why, but whenever there was a disaster in the multiverse, it must invade their universe.
In these few years, invaders came and went as they pleased. They wouldn't consider the stability of the cosmic structure when coming and going. Those who smashed the door smashed the door, those who knocked on the window knocked on the window, and those who couldn't get in could even dig a hole.
Yesterday he also talked to Scarlet Witch on the phone, hearing that the mutants were already studying where they should go after the cosmic structure collapsed.
Peter, who could leave his own universe and stand from a third-party perspective to watch, knew that this wasn't alarmist. The stability of their universe was really already at stake.
Peter was already worried about this, and Stark came to find him. Peter also found it hard to refuse, but for the sake of the survival of the entire universe, he still hardened his heart and refused.
He felt that Iron Man would definitely be able to understand him. This was a major matter concerning the survival of the universe, but he didn't expect that Iron Man actually thought he disregarded their relationship for the sake of justice and fairness. This was the first time Peter had argued with Stark so fiercely, leading to him not having recovered until now.
Fortunately, his body was controlled by Superior Spider-Man, that is, Otto, before, which instead made the two of them build a friendship, deciding to work together for the future of humanity. Upon hearing that Otto was coming to San Francisco to do research, Peter followed.
Who knew that as soon as he came, the research didn't go very smoothly. The key factor for igniting the artificial sun couldn't be found. Peter and Otto had no ideas, feeling very depressed.
It wasn't easy for Otto to find the ignition factor, and Peter was just about to go watch it, when he encountered this heavy fog, and got lost directly at the door of the laboratory. You say, isn't this just drinking cold water and getting stuck in the teeth when one is unlucky?
Anyway, now they were trapped by some mysterious power and couldn't get out. While idle, Peter's chatterbox attribute played a role again. Peter opened his mouth and told Bruce all these things.
And the thing that made him feel the most sad was his relationship with Stark. Peter sat on the front engine cover of the vehicle with his back to Bruce, clasping his hands together and placing them on his legs, saying.
"Do you know? Some time ago, I just came back from other universes, especially one universe. I don't know how to say it."
"That universe also has a Spider-Man. Of course, he is a bit different from other Spider-Men. He is protected very well by his elders, and he is more willing to work for the future of humanity in the laboratory."
"Although I told him that Spider-Man wants more to protect every night of ordinary people, and I am indeed thinking so, sometimes I really will think, if I hadn't been bitten by that spider, successfully graduated, interned, and entered the Osborn Group, perhaps I would have gone to the Starks Group. Would the change I brought to this world be greater than now?"
"The universe is always going to be destroyed." Peter lowered his head and said, "And our universe will be destroyed especially early. When thinking of this, I always feel a bit powerless, so I always think, if I weren't Spider-Man, but Peter Parker like that kid, could I have saved this universe?"
"It's a pity that things don't have 'if'." Peter shook his head lightly and said, "I might not be a good scientist either."
Bruce understood what Peter was saying, because this was actually a very simple matter. It was probably that there were two paths placed in front of this young man before, either be a street hero or be a scientist.
He used to feel that being a street hero was quite good. He could practically protect everyone, but the situation in their universe was getting worse and worse. Just being a superhero who maintained public order was already a bit beyond his power when facing such major events.
Bruce understood this feeling too well. Was there anyone in this world more beyond their power than him?
With full level, full attributes, and full top-grade equipment, he couldn't pass that damn rotten dungeon. He, a level 2 account who had just left the novice village, was daydreaming about saving the world?
Unexpectedly, he really took his broken equipment and rotten attributes into the dungeon, was beaten black and blue, so he wanted to go to another dungeon to brush equipment first, only to find that this dungeon was only a little better than that rotten dungeon, and was still beaten black and blue.
Thinking of this, Bruce finally couldn't hold it anymore. He sighed deeply and said, "At least you are doing well in the superhero business. You feel that fighting criminals can't save the universe, but have you ever thought that some people can't even beat criminals when fighting?" ===== CHAPTER 2113 =====
