"I don't understand what you are talking about," Otto Parker replied.

"It doesn't matter; this also counts as an answer." Schiller smiled again. He patted Otto Parker on the shoulder, then passed him and walked toward the position where he had just landed.

At this moment, a very short Spider-Man with a pig's nose ran in, holding a child. He shouted, "Spider-Girl! Hurry and take care of your brother! He has been crying!"

"Oh! Benjamin! He... he seems to need his diaper changed. You all wait for me for a moment..." Spider-Girl jumped down from the pillar immediately. She had no time to worry about the Amazing Spider-Man anymore, but hurriedly ran to the side of the short Spider-Man and picked up the child in his arms.

Spider-Girl held the child she called Benjamin, constantly soothing him. Hearing the child's crying, the Spider-Men quieted down one after another. They surrounded Spider-Girl, teasing her brother, wanting to soothe him and make him stop crying.

Spider-Girl held Benjamin, sighed, and said, "Alright, we should get down to business. Where were we before?"

The Amazing Spider-Man stood by her side and said, "I am very sorry. I know you love your father very much. He..."

"Stop talking." Spider-Girl interrupted him. She emphasized again, "I said, we should get down to business now. That is the best explanation for him!"

On the other side, Schiller saw several phantom images appear behind Otto Parker. Soon, more Spider-Man figures appeared, and the number was even greater than Schiller had imagined.

Behind Otto Parker were at least a dozen Spider-Men; some were wearing vests, some were pitch black, some looked like Deadpool, and some were squatting on the ground with a monkey tail.

Schiller also could not fully recognize what kind of Spider-Men these were, but he took a step back, making room for Otto Parker. And at this time, the Amazing Spider-Man noticed that another group of people had arrived here.

The Amazing Spider-Man walked to the front of the crowd. Otto Parker stood in front of the other group of Spider-Men. When the two sides were confronting each other in the hall, the Amazing Spider-Man narrowed his eyes and asked, "How is your investigation going?"

Otto Parker snorted coldly and said, "Much better than you. You let me lead the team to investigate the Inheritor family, while you are responsible for recruiting new Spider-Men here. So, where are the new Spider-Men?"

The Amazing Spider-Man turned his head to look at Schiller. Schiller cleared his throat and then said, "First of all, I am not a Spider-Man. You found the wrong person. I have an ability similar to spider-sense, but it is different from yours."

"In addition, I can return to my universe and help you contact the Spider-Man of this universe... I certainly know him, but there is a condition."

Instantly, all the Spider-Men looked at him. Countless pairs of spider compound eyes stared at Schiller. Schiller's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Before I contact the Spider-Man of that universe of mine, shouldn't you tell me what you intend to do here?"

Schiller scanned all the Spider-Men and asked, "What made you gather here? And what are you investigating?"

Just as the Amazing Spider-Man was about to speak, Otto Parker spoke first, saying, "This has nothing to do with you. You had better call that Spider-Man over quickly; otherwise, we cannot guarantee his safety."

"Then you should at least tell me what the danger is, right?"

"Morlun," the Amazing Spider-Man said first. It could be seen that his relationship with Otto Parker was very bad, and the atmosphere between the two was tense. He stepped forward and said very seriously to Schiller:

"If you are really not a Spider-Man, then you had better call the Spider-Man of your universe over quickly. This is not for us, but for his safety."

"Perhaps this sounds very unbelievable, but in the universe, there is a family called the Inheritors. They feed on Spider-Men, and many of our partners have died at their hands."

At this moment, Otto Parker spoke up, saying, "Because of an experimental accident, I traveled to the year 2099. There, I saw the corpse of a Spider-Man. The one who killed him was exactly a member of the Inheritor family."

"I developed a teleporter that can travel between various universes, and in other universes, I saw more corpses of Spider-Men," Otto Parker said.

The suit on his body, which was mainly black and red, could bring a stronger sense of oppression than other Spider-Men, and those Spider-Men behind him were mostly expressionless. Obviously, like Otto Parker, they were not entirely in the lawful camp.

"I met an Inheritor who called himself Karn. He wore a hood and was very powerful. According to his revelations, members of the Inheritor family feed on Spider-Men. At the same time, we also met two other members of the Inheritor family. We activated the teleporter in time and only then managed to escape by luck." Otto Parker's tone was always very calm and very concise, without any nonsense. His style was so concise that he did not look like a Spider-Man.

"Silk found me and invited me to join the Spider-Army because I had defeated Morlun before. The Spider-Men regarded me as the hope for defeating the Inheritor family, so I came here and became their leader," the Amazing Spider-Man continued.

"Yeah," Otto Parker said, crossing his arms, "You sent me away to scout for information, while you yourself caused a bunch of trouble here. Peter Parker, what exactly are you doing? Did you come here just to hold us back?"

"This was just an accident," the Amazing Spider-Man explained. He said, "The message Silk sent out has already been received by many Spider-Men. They are all on their way here. Soon, the army will have more manpower."

"How is your investigation going?" Silk walked forward and asked, looking at Otto Parker. Obviously, she was on the Amazing Spider-Man's side.

Another Spider-Man wearing a red and blue suit stood out from behind Otto Parker. He said, "I tracked the Inheritor family's lair and went there to check it out, and then I discovered that there was nothing there."

"Didn't you also not have any progress?" The Amazing Spider-Man walked close to Otto Parker, looked at him, and said, "Fake!"

While the two of them were confronting each other, Schiller carefully looked at all the Spider-Men who had appeared in this hall.

In the comics, many Spider-Men were already dead when they were discovered by the Spider-Army; they all died at the hands of members of the Inheritor family, such as Morlun, Karn, Daemos, and so on.

However, in the comics, many Spider-Men who should have been killed by the Inheritors appeared here, and they were all living well.

Schiller guessed that this might be the influence produced by the Bat Totem. After the Inheritor family discovered the newly born totem, they wanted to use the power of faith to seize the newly born totem. However, to provide the power of faith, family members must be stationed in the base to pray.

In this way, the time the Inheritors went out to hunt became less, and because of this, many Spider-Men escaped a disaster.

Schiller did not directly participate in that battle between Stark and Solus, so he did not know if the Inheritor family members who died in that war included those celebrities who appeared in the comics, such as the famous Morlun, or his brother Daemos, but there was no doubt that the current plot was already completely different from the comics.

The enemies the Spider-Men gathered to deal with, the vampires of the Inheritor family, some died in the civil war brought about by the previous Bat Totem infection, some were brought by Solus to the universe where the Iron Demon God Stark was, were killed by Stark, and then swallowed by Helen, so they definitely could not come back to life.

Perhaps there were still some on the way to hunt who did not return to the family base in time, so they luckily survived, but they were no longer a threat.

The only relatively powerful Solus was now busy looking for his missing house, and in the vast multiverse, it was difficult to run into this group of Spider-Men.

The people in front of the dungeon door had just gathered, and the final boss had already been cleared by someone. Looking at the way these Spider-Men were facing a great enemy, Schiller could not help but sigh in his heart.

This was not entirely a good thing. The battle with the Inheritor family was one of the few very cruel wars in the Spider-Man series of comics. Too many Spider-Men sacrificed themselves in this battle. Such a test of blood and fire allowed every Spider-Man to take a step further than before.

Previously, Schiller dealing with members of the Inheritor family was not to help the Spider-Men, but entirely because members of this family found them first.

In order to swallow the Spider-Man of the universe where Schiller was, the Inheritors planned a Bat invasion of New York event, but ended up losing themselves as well, which prompted the birth of the Bat Totem.

And because they were not satisfied with their greed and wanted to control the Bat Totem, they lost their entire foundation. Now the whole family was scattered, and the Inheritor family that made Spider-Men bleed like a river was already a thing of the past. Now all that remained was a lonely old man, Solus, who had a miserable old age.

Thinking of this, Schiller had a plan, so he spoke up and said, "What you said makes sense. Spider-Men in every universe are in danger. The Peter Parker I know is probably also unable to escape this disaster."

"Since that's the case, you must unite. Now, send me back to my universe, and I will go call him."

Hearing Schiller say this, the Amazing Spider-Man breathed a sigh of relief. He waved his hand, easing the tense atmosphere, and said, "Thank you for your reasonableness, sir. I haven't been this nervous for a long time."

"It's okay. My relationship with Peter is pretty good, and I don't want him to be in danger. You will guarantee his safety, right?"

"We will do our best," Spider-Gwen said. And at this moment, Otto Parker interrupted, "War will definitely involve bloodshed and sacrifice. Everyone has the possibility of being injured and dying. If he is just a coward who can't even accept this, then it's better if he doesn't come."

The Amazing Spider-Man pulled Otto Parker's arm hard, seemingly very dissatisfied with this tone of his, but Schiller didn't say anything, and he disappeared into the light of the teleportation.

Not long after, another figure wearing a Spider-Man suit arrived in the hall. When the light disappeared, Peter saw so many Spider-Men in the hall and opened his mouth in shock.

The Amazing Spider-Man standing at the very front saw Peter and was also stunned. He said, "Wait a minute, you are even younger than me. How old are you this year???"

Peter subconsciously replied, "I just started college, what's wrong?"

All the Spider-Men fell silent. Otto Parker sighed, looked at Silk, and asked, "Are you sure he has defeated members of the Inheritor family?"

"I say, otherwise, why don't we invite his teacher back," the Amazing Spider-Man turned his head and whispered to Spider-Gwen.

"Uh, hello everyone, I heard that the Spider-Army is recruiting, so I came. What do you want me to do?" Peter scratched his head and asked.

"First of all, we have to determine what you can do," Otto Parker looked at Peter and said, "Don't tell me that the thing you are best at is doing homework, or cheating with spider silk when you can't catch the school bus."

"I wouldn't miss the school bus!" Peter retorted.

But just as he wanted to continue introducing himself, a sharp tentacle stabbed at him. His spider-sense moved, and Peter exerted force, jumping to the side, his figure flexibly sticking to the pillar beside him.

"What are you doing! Superior Spider-Man!" the Amazing Spider-Man shouted.

And Otto Parker also jumped up, using the four tentacles on his back to firmly grasp the pillar behind him. After pressing down to store power, he jumped up instantly and pounced on Peter. He said:

"Let me see, how much strength does this kid who can defeat the Inheritors actually have!"
