Chapter 2729: Star Core Rescue (26)

~10 min read 1,961 words

Miles was stunned. He felt his throat was a bit dry. A voice in his brain was telling him, no, this is wrong, but another voice was telling him that what he said also made sense.

Others didn't do this, but he did. Then he should be a hero. It wasn't stolen or robbed; it was earned by himself facing danger and relying on his own ability. Then why couldn't he bear the praise?

"But, this is a bit despicable." Miles said: "Can it be called a hero if it's not selfless dedication?"

"Demanding selfless dedication from heroes is the biggest villain." Peter said: "Noble people are all pursuing becoming gods, but if you want to be an ordinary person, that's not a mistake. There must always be ordinary people in this world."

Miles swallowed his saliva, and then Peter said: "Actually, the driving force of material is more stable than the driving force of the heart, because no matter what, there are always people pursuing you. Just like me, even if the reputation of the third generation of Spider-Man isn't very good, I still have a batch of loyal fans."

"But unfortunately, I'm not the kind of person who can get a very strong driving force from other people's pursuit. I am more willing to follow my heart and save more people by virtue of inner kindness. This is also the main reason why I gave up the identity of Spider-Man and went to be a researcher, because this can save more people."

"But the identity of Spider-Man is also very important." Peter said that sentence he once heard from the Amazing Spider-Man, "Someone has to create a beautiful tomorrow, but Spider-Man just wants people to see tomorrow."

Miles' eyes seemed a bit moist. He said: "So this isn't despicable, right?"

"As long as you truly do it, this is noble."

Miles took a deep breath. His fists were clenched tightly until the back of his hands almost had no blood color, and a layer of paleness appeared on his black skin.

"Can I really do it?"

"I said, as long as you want to, you definitely can." Peter reached out and pressed his shoulder, saying: "I wasn't able to be Spider-Man from the beginning either. I might have done much worse than you when I first debuted."

Miles suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He asked: "Then how did you learn? Did anyone teach you?"

"Of course, many people taught me." Peter showed a smile, looking a bit nostalgic, and said: "Saying their big names would definitely startle you."

"I guess Iron Man must be there." Miles snapped his fingers, his butt started twisting on the sofa, and he said: "The media all say your relationship isn't ordinary, so you two..."

"They thought too much. Tony and I are just friends. Of course, he is also like my teacher and father. He has been helping me complete the cause of Spider-Man, but after hearing that I didn't want to take this path, he has also been supporting me."

"Then he..."

"He should have no time to teach you now." Peter shook his head and said: "His fiancée is pregnant, and he is busy getting married recently. Of course, Captain America also taught me, but he has been quite busy recently too."

"Then I..."

"So you agreed?"

Miles was caught off guard. He stuttered again and said: "Uh, I was just imagining it, and I didn't say I..."

"Then you agreed." Peter stood up and said: "There is a reason why I came to find you at this time. I heard that the space station is going to fall and might destroy the entire American continent. Now there are some panic emotions everywhere in New York, and the manpower of young heroes isn't enough. They urgently need a leader."

"Leader? But I don't know how to be Spider-Man yet."

"You'll learn as you practice." Peter pulled Miles up from the chair and then said: "Anyway, you always have to learn. Why can't it be today?"

Miles always felt there was a problem somewhere, but it sounded quite reasonable at first glance, so he was pulled to the headquarters of the Spider Army in such a confused way. After asking Nick for permission, Peter successfully used the spider totem to send the spider ability on his body to Miles.

Miles looked at his hands in shock. Peter had already pulled his hand and was about to put the spider silk launcher on his hand. Miles pushed him away nervously and said: "Eh, don't, I still..."

Peter flew out.

When he stood up holding his waist, he said helplessly: "Fortunately, I still have some divine power. My god, you can't be so forceful. You are a superman now..."

Miles rushed over very apologetically, wanting to help Peter, but didn't dare to touch him, so he had to stand in place and rub his hands in a panic.

"This ability isn't hard to master. Go and swing a few laps over New York. Now, go."

Peter brought Miles to the roof of Stark Tower. On the way, Peter had already explained the usage of the spider silk launcher to Miles and let Falcon watch from the side to prevent Miles from not knowing how to fly and crashing to the ground.

Things had reached this point, and Miles could be considered to have calmed down and accepted reality. He stood on the edge of the building and took a deep breath, but still felt a bit dizzy when looking down.

"Do I really have to jump down? This is a bit too high." Miles said while panting: "Did I tell you I'm afraid of heights before? I feel I will fall into a puddle of mud after falling down. Is this little thing you gave me really useful..."

Miles was still mumbling there, not noticing at all that Peter had already walked behind him.

Bang!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

Swoosh! Swoosh swoosh!

"Oh roar——!!!"

Looking at Miles' back swinging up, Peter clapped his hands and said: "Dr. Schiller is right. Sometimes physical therapy is still useful."

There were 7 minutes left until the power engine bomb exploded.

The stumbling Mysterio finally broke into the room where the power engine was. Looking at the row of bombs, his heart hung up. He walked over carefully and touched the upper half of the bomb with his palm.

To tell the truth, he couldn't understand what this bomb was at all.

First of all, he was a software engineer. He mainly studied computers and had no mechanical engineering or blasting background. And this clearly didn't look like a bomb with three wires in a movie where you make a choice. The technology of this thing was clearly a bit advanced.

Suddenly, a door on the other side made a 'click' sound. Mysterio turned his head and actually saw Parker.

Mysterio just wanted to open his mouth to ask, and then he remembered that in order not to expose his identity, he couldn't show that he knew Parker.

"Who are you?" Mysterio lowered his voice and asked. His voice was processed by professional equipment and sounded particularly low.

"I am Ben Parker, the power engineer on the space station. I thought no one else would come."

Mysterio felt insulted. He raised his tone and said: "Then what are you doing here? How did you get over?"

He felt anger again. Why did Ben Parker appear here? This was his home court, his stage, the first step for him to become a world-famous hero. Why should this cowardly and stupid old good man stand on the same stage as him?

But Ben Parker didn't seem to understand his meaning. He just explained in a flat tone: "I took the employee passage. I thought of a way to pry open the lock and took the nearest inspection passage to get here."

Mysterio felt he had become a clown.

That's right, there was also an inspection passage. Then what was the significance of him going through so much trouble and making himself covered in cuts and bruises?

It seemed Parker's appearance was entirely to highlight his stupidity. Mysterio felt anger burning again, simply unable to control his emotions. He roared at Parker: "You aren't needed here!"

But this seemed to be completely understood by Parker as another meaning. He said: "Yes, I know you are a super-powered person, and I am an ordinary person. You are worried about my safety, but please believe that I have my own plans."

Parker looked at the bomb and said: "Do you have a way to dismantle this bomb?"

Mysterio was choked, and his momentum weakened by three points. He really couldn't dismantle it.

"To tell the truth, I don't think I can dismantle it either. After all, I'm just an electrician, not some blasting engineer, but I have an idea..."

There were only 5 minutes left in the countdown. Mysterio looked at Parker who was still spinning around the bomb and roared: "Then say it!"

"But this might be a bit difficult." Parker deliberately dragged a long tone and then said: "Do you still remember the photovoltaic integration device that was burned?"

Mysterio was stunned, and then felt a bit guilty. He didn't know why Parker suddenly mentioned this, but Parker didn't sell the pass this time, but said directly: "I don't know what the origin of that monster from the sun is, but its flames are quite useful, actually able to burn through molten steel alloy directly."

Parker lowered his body and used his head to look at the bottom of the bomb. He said: "No matter how strong this thing is, it must be fixed on the floor. That is to say, as long as we can cut off its connection with the space station, we can throw it out directly through the window. Then it doesn't matter whether it explodes or not."

Mysterio thought about it and felt it made sense. At this time, he finally remembered his setting and then said: "I know the origin of those monsters. I came here for this. They are 'Elementals', who have been trapped in the elemental space since ancient Egypt. Now the elemental space has cracks, and they escaped to the real world."

"The power I use is also elemental, and the power is also summoned from the elemental space. You can call me 'Mysterio'."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Mysterio." Parker said: "In this way, you can also use that flame that can burn through molten steel alloy?"

"Yes, I can." Mysterio answered quite readily, because he really could. The drone laser he made was designed specifically for molten steel alloy. At least cutting it wasn't a problem.

At this time, his thinking also opened up. He said: "That's right, I can cut the floor underneath, and then throw the floor together with this damn bomb out, throwing it far away."

"Right, that's it, but..." Parker dragged a long tone again.

"But what?!!" Mysterio roared a bit violently. Now there were only 3 minutes left. How could this idiot still have the energy to sell the pass here?!

"My nephew is Peter Parker. He is a quite brilliant scientist, although not entirely a mechanical engineering scientist, but after all, he works in the Stark Group, and you also know Stark..."

"Get to the point!!!"

"Stark is a master of mechanical engineering, so occasionally Peter also mentions some related knowledge. So from my experience, the shell of the bomb might not be heat-resistant. If the operation is improper, it is very likely to detonate on the spot."

Mysterio swallowed his saliva. Now, the countdown had reached 02:49. ===== CHAPTER 2730 =====
