Chapter 666: Spider Web Journal (Part 2)

"Look at the good deeds you've done! It's all because you told Peter about weaving webs back then. Now it's good, he's weaving webs all over New York, weaving three webs a day. The cleaning company can't keep up with his speed!"

"I let him understand the importance of social engineering, not let him weave webs on a physical level!"

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the Stark Tower laboratory, Stark and Shiler were arguing endlessly. Stark waved his arms and said loudly, "You know he's a silly kid! And you told him such profound things. Don't you know he will understand them in a thousand different ways?!"

"Do you think, with Peter's wisdom, he could understand what I said as weaving webs everywhere over New York? Instead, why don't you and Connors find something for Peter to do? What about those research projects of yours?" Shiler retorted.

Connors, who was innocently implicated, held up a document and said, "In fact, he didn't delay the research. He finished everything in half the usual time and then left spare time for himself to go out and weave webs. I have to say, as a spider, he is still quite diligent."

"But he is a person!" Stark raised his tone and said, "Spider-Man is not a spider, he is a person! Even if he is a spider, he can't weave three spider webs over New York every day! Has he considered the feelings of people with arachnophobia?"

Shiler looked up at the spider web not far away and said, "Don't say, this web is woven quite beautifully. If my nursing home didn't have limited space, I would quite like to get one back as a decoration..."

Just after he finished this sentence, his phone rang. After picking up the phone, he said, "Hello? Ultron?... Oh, yes, I'm at the Stark Tower. What's wrong?"

"What??? There's a spider web over the nursing home, and guests are complaining that our hygiene conditions are not up to standard and want a refund?!"

"You wait! I'll be back immediately!"

Shiler hung up the phone, scattered into a cloud of gray mist, and flew directly back to Arkham Nursing Home. Stark followed behind in his battle suit. When he arrived, he laughed directly.

The suburbs of New York are not like the city center. There are not so many high-rise buildings here. Using relatively short houses as fulcrums to set up spider webs has a problem: the collapsed part in the middle might stick everywhere.

Looking at the messy nursing home, Shiler took a deep breath. However, this was not over yet. Soon, he received another call. Nick said to Shiler on the phone, "Can you manage that spider kid? The maintenance fee for the Helicarrier is already very expensive. He made spider webs everywhere here. Is he afraid that the employees responsible for cleaning won't ask for a raise?"

"This is the only good thing he has done!" Shiler said in a bad mood. After hanging up the phone, just as he was about to return to the center of New York to find Peter, Captain America jumped down from the roof and came to Shiler, saying, "What's going on? What's wrong with Peter? I saw news reports saying he is weaving webs everywhere in New York, seriously affecting the city's appearance, and the police station has been dispatched..."

Stark touched his chin and said, "Peter's abnormalities are more than these. Since he was about to graduate from high school, he has become exceptionally excited. Jarvis originally left several doors for him on the glass curtain wall of the Stark Tower, but he would break the glass every time..."

"Today, he ran back and forth in my laboratory for five or six hours, without any intention of stopping at all."

Steve added, "Just now I saw on the news that just an hour ago, he also defeated a group of bank robbers, helped a homeless person move, helped a snack vendor fix his car, and even dragged a car occupying the fire lane two blocks away..."

Stark covered his forehead and said, "He isn't driven by a reactor. Does he really not get tired?"

"There are several possibilities for a sudden change in behavior to become excited..." Shiler stood in place, crossed his arms, and speculated, "First, it's because of mental excitement. Overly active brain activity might cause humans to exhibit various excited behaviors. However, in the absence of mental illness, this mental excitement is still subject to the limitations of physiological activity. After the excited state passes, they will feel extra tired."

"Generally, the state of mental excitement for ordinary people will not exceed 6-10 hours. If it lasts longer, it might harm the body. After this, the brain's self-protection function will make them feel very tired, thus immediately going to rest."

"Peter's mental and physiological strength are higher than ordinary humans, so, calculating by 4 times the maximum value, after about two days, he should get rid of this excited state, and will not be excited again in a short time."

"Forget it." Stark raised his arm and said, "From his high school graduation ceremony until now, it's been almost two months, and he is still like this."

"There is another possibility. If you take drugs to stimulate the body, you can also achieve the same effect. If the drug dose is large enough, you can extend this time." Shiler said.

"But even if it's extended, it's impossible to extend it for almost two months, right? And why would Peter take stimulants? Just to perform stunts over New York, and make a lot of spider webs??" Steve said very suspiciously.

Suddenly, Stark recalled the conversation with Connors and the others in the laboratory. He said, "Peter was bitten by a spider. We still haven't figured out what kind of impact that bite had on him."

"From the surface, his strength has become greater, his thinking has become more active, and he has also acquired spider-sense. So, could there be some other influences?"

"For example?" Shiler asked.

"Jarvis, help me retrieve the information on spider habits. Let me see... Wait a minute, it's August now, right? My God, look at this!"

Stark pressed a button on his arm, and a projection was projected into the air. Shiler and Steve both stood by his side, looking at the projection, which read:

"Many spiders will breed during the hottest time of midsummer. Around August or September, male spiders will weave webs in advance and have courtship actions, while female spiders will..."

The three looked at each other. Shiler and Steve both looked at Stark. Shiler said, "Don't tell me Peter also has a courtship period like a spider?"

"But this is really very similar, isn't it?" The more Stark said, the more he felt his inference was correct. He said, "He will perform stunt actions over New York. This might be a kind of courtship dance, and he also started to weave webs over New York non-stop. This might also be a manifestation of male spiders showing their courtship advantages..."

Steve covered his forehead and said, "This is too absurd. He was just bitten by a spider, how could he..."

Stark snorted coldly and said, "Peter is always on your side, but you have never cared about him. Haven't you observed some of his postures during fighting? That really looks like a spider."

As he spoke, Stark pressed the button again, switching the projection. The projection in the air began to play some scenes of Peter fighting. Some were scenes of him upholding justice in New York filmed by monitoring equipment, and some were scenes of Peter practicing with the mecha controlled by Stark.

The current Peter has completely gotten rid of the green fighting style he had before, no longer running and jumping and throwing punches at the enemy. It can be seen that whether it is dodging or attacking, it is very methodical.

The only problem is that the fighting technique he uses does not belong to any known fighting technique classification in the world, more like a self-created fighting technique. He often crawls on all fours, his body sticking to the ground, and then jumps high. Sometimes he will quietly climb onto the enemy's head, jump down instantly, and strangle their necks.

Compared to human fighting techniques, this looks more like a beast, or rather, more like a spider.

"For the past two years, I have been recording his growth trajectory." Stark pressed the button on his arm again, and the screen began to play some scenes of Peter. Stark continued, "Initially, Peter's strength and speed had not reached such an exaggerated degree, at most similar to yours."

Stark turned to look at Steve. Steve shrugged, not denying it. Then, Stark said again, "But as he gets closer and closer to adulthood, his speed, strength, and reaction ability have begun to become more and more exaggerated."

"I once used a mecha to test him, but I didn't test his strength limit because the mecha's materials could no longer withstand it. That is to say, the current human materials science cannot manufacture a material that can resist his physical strength, which is actually very terrible."

"And reaction speed. Originally, this part should be the easiest to test the limit, but later I found that as long as his state is good enough and his attention is focused enough, his reaction can no longer be called a reaction, more like a prediction."

"How long can he sense danger in advance? It's impossible to test, because every test is refreshing the record. There is no doubt that although Peter's mind is growing, it is far from growing as fast as his physical strength." Stark concluded finally.

"He is a good kid." Steve said with some emotion, "Among the many people I have seen in all these years I have lived, he can definitely be called the best kind of good person. I believe he can make good use of this power..."

"The problem now is, where does this abnormality come from?" Shiler frowned and thought. He said, "I think we'd better not stimulate him first. When people are in an excited state, it is easy to develop aggression. If Spider-Man really loses control, it will be troublesome..."

"But if we don't let him cooperate with the physical examination, how can we figure out why he suddenly became so excited?" Stark asked.

"I think we can find someone with experience in this area to consult, for example..." As he spoke, Shiler took out his mobile phone. After dialing, he said to the other side, "Dr. Connors, we have something to ask you..."

Ten minutes later, Shiler, Stark, and Steve appeared in front of Connors. Connors was still busy with his thesis. He didn't even look up and said, "First of all, I wasn't bitten by a lizard."

"But you are also an animal gene modifier, wouldn't you..."

"I won't." Connors sighed, stood up, and said, "The focus of animal gene modification experiments is to eliminate those parts that are not beneficial to humans, and only absorb the advantages."

"For example, I will conduct lizard modification experiments, actually because lizards have the ability to regenerate broken limbs, just like what you see now..." Connors lifted his sleeve, and Stark was surprised to find that his broken arm had grown a very large section, and it looked exactly the same as the original arm.

"Because I don't want the previous accident to happen again, the experiment is relatively conservative. If the most efficient method is followed, I should have a complete arm now." Connors' tone was very flat, without any fluctuation, but everyone knew what this meant. Once the experiment was fully completed, humans would no longer be troubled by broken limbs and disabilities.

"If you can't eliminate those parts that are harmful to humans, the consequences will be like the out-of-control state I was in before. You will see a cold-blooded animal covered in scales, without humanity, only beastliness. That is not what I want, so I will constantly improve it."

156n.

"That is to say, this mutation of yours is strictly selected and controlled." Stark understood Connors' meaning. He said, "This further proves my previous idea. Peter being bitten was completely random and not controlled by any experiment. So, he might not have only inherited the good part of the spider's ability, but might also have inherited part of the beastliness."

"But don't you think his state of beastliness is a bit too gentle?" Steve asked, "I remember you said before that when Connors turned into a Lizardman, he destroyed half of your building."

"Could it be because Peter is too good, and the wildest thing he thinks of in his mind might just be doing stunts over New York, plus weaving webs all over New York?" Shiler put forward a point of view.

Stark and Steve looked at each other. They felt this was too absurd, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not impossible for Peter.

"Fine, it seems Dr. Connors can't provide us with any suggestions, so let's invite the next one." Shiler said.

"Next one? Who else?" Stark asked a bit suspiciously.

Ten minutes later, Natasha's angry roar echoed in the S. H. I. E. L. D. base:

"I am not a spider!"
