Chapter 701: U: Infinite Event (17)
On the other side, in the battlefield where Knull was, the situation changed once again. Everyone in the field discovered that if they didn't solve the great enemy Knull first, none of them would be able to leave here alive.
Originally, when the strength of both sides was similar, everyone was in a chaotic brawl. But once an existence whose strength far exceeded others appeared, it would definitely be surrounded and beaten by others. Now, Solus, Frigga, Magneto, and all the Spider-Men had their targets changed to Knull, who had just broken free.
Only one tiny black dot remained in the center of the battlefield. Facing the power Knull was releasing wantonly, he remained unmoved, just standing in place, looking at the endless flames of the star.
The Amazing Spider-Man flew upward quickly, dodging Solus's sneak attack. At this moment, his peripheral vision swept across the bright star, and then he saw Peter, who was stunned there.
Just now, they had also seen the battle between Schiller and Knull. However, when Schiller fell into the sea of fire of the star, Solus's attack had tied the hands and feet of the Spider-Men, making them unable to help Schiller and Peter.
Unsurprisingly, the tragedy happened again, and it happened in front of all the Spider-Men.
At this moment, the state of the Spider-Men was very bad. The battle with Solus had sacrificed quite a few of their manpower, and most of the remaining ones were also injured. Coupled with witnessing the irreversible tragedy with their own eyes, which triggered their memories, the vast majority of Spider-Men were somewhat shaken.
Watching an energy beam that could have been dodged hit a distracted Spider-Man, the Amazing Spider-Man sighed and said, "It seems we can only retreat temporarily. Fortunately, Solus and this mysterious evil god are fighting each other, so they will definitely be severely injured. When the time comes, it won't be too late for us to chase them and eliminate them. For now, let's go back and regroup."
"Are you planning to run away?" Otto Octavius said coldly. At this moment, two of his four tentacles were broken, opening a large wound, and he was bleeding. There was also a deep wound on his shoulder that reached the bone. He was injured even more heavily than the Amazing Spider-Man.
"This is a tactical retreat. It's not that the more you sacrifice, the greater the result you can achieve. I thought you understood this principle." The Amazing Spider-Man still wanted to say something, but seeing the wounds on Otto Octavius's body, he finally turned his head away.
He said to the other Spider-Men, "Now, our state is bad, so we will temporarily retreat to the base to regroup. Our battle with the Inheritor family cannot be completed in a day or two. Now, prepare to teleport."
While he was speaking, he left the Spider-Man squad. Spider-Gwen shouted to him, "Where are you going?"
"We can't leave that kid there alone. He must have received a great shock now. I have to go comfort him. You guys go first. I'll bring him back soon."
After speaking, the Amazing Spider-Man flew toward Peter. And at this moment, Otto Octavius didn't join the teleportation squad either, but flew in the same direction as the Amazing Spider-Man.
The Amazing Spider-Man turned to look at him and said, "What are you coming over for? I didn't know you knew how to comfort people?"
"I'm just afraid you and that silly kid will die here together. Our morale is already very low. If there are any more losses, I'm afraid no one will want to fight anymore."
Otto Octavius snorted coldly and flew faster than the Amazing Spider-Man. And when he arrived beside Peter, Peter seemed to be muttering something to himself.
Otto Octavius called him, but he didn't respond. After the Amazing Spider-Man flew over, Otto Octavius said to him, "You were right. He received too much shock. I guess he's gone stupid."
The Amazing Spider-Man didn't pay attention to him, but flew to Peter's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I know you are very sad, but now the enemy is at the gates, and this place is also very dangerous. You have to go back with us..."
Peter didn't respond at all, just constantly chanting a sentence. The Amazing Spider-Man and Otto Octavius looked at each other. They got closer, but neither heard any sound.
Until they got closer, the Amazing Spider-Man and Otto Octavius judged from the lip shape that the sentence Peter was chanting was:
"The secret of magic is that wishes come true..."
In an instant, brilliant magical light erupted from Peter's body, forming a huge vortex that swallowed all three Spider-Men and made them disappear from the center of the battlefield.
When the Amazing Spider-Man regained consciousness, he discovered he had appeared in a familiar room. He frowned, climbed up, rubbed his neck, and squinted to examine the environment in the room.
In the tiny room, a single bed covered with striped sheets occupied almost half the area. There was also a desk piled with messy books. The most eye-catching thing was the game console placed beside the desk, with the controller's wires tangled into a ball, making one very suspicious of whether it could still be untangled.
The Amazing Spider-Man seemed to have thought of something. He ran to the front of the desk excitedly. After clearing away those messy things, he saw a photo frame placed on the windowsill, which was a group photo of Peter Parker, Ben Parker, and May. They were all smiling very brightly.
This was Peter Parker's room when he was still in school, before he had moved out of his own home. His entire childhood was spent here.
Such years were somewhat distant from the Amazing Spider-Man's current life. He had graduated for a few years and found a job at a research institute in New York, always living in an apartment not far from the institute. This tiny room had become the past for him.
And at this moment, he heard a movement behind him. He turned his head and saw that it was actually Otto Octavius.
"How could you be here??" The Amazing Spider-Man said very surprisedly. How could you be in my house?
Otto Octavius covered his chest and coughed twice, then climbed up from the ground. The wounds on his body made him gasp in pain. Seeing this, the Amazing Spider-Man still walked over, helped Otto Octavius up, and let his back lean against the wall.
But just at this moment, another voice came from behind them: "What's going on?... Hmm, so it was just a dream? This really is a nightmare..."
Peter sat up from his bed. He shook his head vigorously, appearing not very clear-headed, and leaned against the headboard with his hands supporting himself. But when he turned his head, he saw the Amazing Spider-Man and Otto Octavius beside him.
Peter froze in place. He widened his eyes, subsequently revealing a collapsed expression. He said, "No! How could you be here?? Wasn't it just a dream?"
The Amazing Spider-Man stood up from the ground, came to Peter's bedside, looked at him, and said, "A dream? What are you referring to? Are you saying, the things that just happened in the universe? I'm sorry, but that wasn't..."
"Silly kid, are you planning to lie to yourself? Lie to yourself that your teacher's death was just a dream, but I want to tell you, that wasn't a dream... You don't know what you did to bring us here... You'd better send us back quickly. Solus is still waiting for us to deal with him." Otto Octavius said intermittently.
"I..." Just as Peter wanted to refute him, he smelled a heavy bloody scent. His sense of smell, which had just recovered, was extra sensitive. Peter turned to look at Otto Octavius. His right waist and abdomen were full of blood, and the battle suit originally composed of black and red had now all turned deep red.
"Oh my god, what happened to you? How come you are injured so heavily? Wait a minute, I... I have bandages..." Peter was somewhat flustered as he sat up from the bed, then ran to the wardrobe, opened the cabinet door beside it, and started searching.
The Amazing Spider-Man stood beside Otto Octavius, helping him press the wound. He said in a low voice, "Even if he is a silly kid, he is a kind-hearted silly kid, isn't he?"
Otto Octavius snorted coldly and didn't speak.
But at this moment, Peter let out a surprised scream. He said, "What's going on? I clearly hid the medical kit under the wardrobe. How come it's gone? I just put it back properly yesterday..."
Peter raised his head and stood up, starting to search in the room, but in the end, he found nothing. Suddenly, he saw the calendar hanging beside the wall, and the date on it made him feel very strange.
Peter remembered that before he went to the multiverse, he had specifically looked at the calendar. At that time, it should have been early October, but now on the calendar, it showed December. He had been gone for more than two months?
Peter thought about it and felt it hadn't been that long. And at this moment, the Amazing Spider-Man had walked over and said, "Did you find the medical kit? If not, we have to think of other ways. He is somewhat unable to hold on."
The Amazing Spider-Man turned back to look at Otto Octavius. Otto Octavius had lifted the lower half of his mask, which could make his breathing smoother. However, judging from the chin he revealed, his face was pale, and his lips had no blood color at all.
Because he led the frontal assault, the energy consumption from Captain Universe Spider-Man was very fast. The little bit left could only maintain his survival in the space environment, but he was completely unable to defend, so he was hit by the planet fragments Solus knocked away, and the wound was very deep, losing a lot of blood.
The Amazing Spider-Man took a piece of clothing from Peter's wardrobe, wrapped it around Otto Octavius's body to stop the bleeding, but this couldn't last for too long.
Seeing this situation, Peter walked to the door, gently pulled it open to take a look, and then beckoned to them, saying, "Come quickly, let's go out now. Uncle Ben and Aunt May shouldn't be awake yet."
The Amazing Spider-Man helped Otto Octavius walk out. Peter scouted the way in front. The three came out from Peter Parker's house, opened the garage, but discovered there was no car there.
"Oh no, Uncle Ben must have parked the car at his company." Peter Parker stomped his feet and then said, "Call an ambulance, otherwise it will be too late!"
"But we don't belong to this universe of yours. What about our identity information?" The Amazing Spider-Man asked.
Peter hesitated for a moment, then started feeling his pockets. He remembered he should have brought a phone, but after feeling around, he discovered the phone should have been lost in the previous battle. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he stretched out a hand and then said, "This hand is a distress signal, yes, that's right..."
He closed his eyes and tried hard to concentrate. A trace of light bloomed from his hand.
At the same time, in Stark Tower's laboratory, Stark saw the alarm light that had lit up. He didn't think too much, took the magic energy core, inserted it into the reactor, instantly upgraded to above the universe, and then... found nothing.
"Where is Peter?" Iron God Stark was somewhat confused and said, "Didn't he send a distress signal? Where is he?"
"Where did this distress signal come from?... Let me see, on the timeline? How come he is on the future timeline??"
And just the second after Peter Parker pressed the distress signal, the voice of Stark came to his ears: "Peter, how come you traveled through time???" ===== CHAPTER 702 =====
