Chapter 877: Starry Splendor (XIX)

In a somewhat dim laboratory, Otto put a stack of materials back onto the shelf, straightened the labels that had been messed up by him, lowered his head to look at his watch, and sighed.

He turned around and used a tentacle behind his back to close the door of the file cabinet. However, in the reflection of the cabinet door glass, he saw a familiar figure.

"Spider-Man, why are you... wait, you are not Spider-Man!" Otto turned around instantly, all eight tentacles fully deployed, making a defensive posture. The Spider-Man opposite said, "Don't be nervous, I am Spider-Man, just not the Spider-Man of your world..."

"Of course, when I came over, I had already obtained his consent. Dr. Otto, I have something to ask of you. Give me three minutes, and I definitely won't delay you for too long..."

Otto narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you that lucky kid from before? What are you looking for me for?"

"Uh, I heard from the Spider-Man of your world that you swapped bodies with him, so you are the previous Superior Spider-Man..."

Otto used his tentacles to support the ground and said, "If you came here just to reminisce, then hurry up and get out. I still have things to do."

"Ahem." Spider-Man cleared his throat and said, "It's like this. You should know that the humans of our universe have already begun to develop the solar system. However, scientific research manpower is not enough, and we need excellent scientific research personnel..."

"Of course, it's absolutely not letting you work for free. You can use the high-tech equipment we have there at will, and you can also bring back a batch of special metals that are specialties of ours. The tentacles of the Doctor Octopus in our universe use this kind of metal, and the effect is quite good. He has already updated to the 16th generation..."

"No matter how your world has developed, I have no interest in it. Look at the city outside. This entire set of urban surveillance systems was made by myself. I won't be slower than you, and I don't need you to come..."

When Otto was speaking, Spider-Man had been whispering, just like reviewing lines. Before Otto could finish speaking, Spider-Man opened his mouth and said, "Of course, the salary there is also quite good, and the funding support for the research institute is very stable..."

Otto snorted coldly and said, "Do you know that I created Parker Industries in this world? That's right, in the name of Spider-Man, I became the new world's richest man. Do you think I care about that funding?"

Spider-Man didn't answer at all. He was still trying hard to recite his lines. He said, "That goes without saying. There are also many excellent research personnel in the research institute. Besides Dr. Otto, there are Dr. Reed, Dr. Banner, Dr. Yin Sen..."

Spider-Man spat out a series of names. This time, Otto didn't say anything, just the tentacles behind him slowly retracted. He turned back to continue organizing the materials, and heard Spider-Man continue:

"Also, the medical research project team there has developed a lizard serum, which can not only heal most external injuries but also allow disabled limbs to regrow. At the same time, they also possess a serum that can significantly extend a person's lifespan..."

Otto's hand paused. He turned his head and saw Spider-Man's hopeful eyes. Spider-Man looked at him and said, "Okay, I admit, I encountered a little trouble, or rather, the New York of my world encountered a little trouble..."

"I don't know if you know Nick Fury. Just a few days ago, he sacrificed himself. There were also Coulson and Dr. Dora. They all died. The superheroes are overwhelmed, and now only I, only Spider-Man, can guard the entire New York and protect S. H. I. E. L. D.'s legacy..."

Spider-Man paused, and the last sentence carried a firmness and determination that Otto couldn't understand. He said:

"Now, I think I can defend humanity's dream of heading toward the stars and the sea once again."

When Otto appeared in Spider-Man's base, sixty percent of the Spider-Men's hair stood on end on the spot.

All one could hear across the base was a constant "swish-swish-swish-swish," and within a few short seconds, the base had practically turned into a spider cave. All the Spider-Men had fired webs to hang themselves on the walls, staring with their compound spider-eyes from mid-air at Peter and Otto, who were walking across the ground below.

"Doctor Octopus invaded? How did he come here?"

"What's going on? Who is the Spider-Man below? How did he bring Doctor Octopus here? Amazing Spider-Man, aren't you going to manage it?"

"That damn Doctor Octopus... they are going to pass through the portal. Where are they going?"

Accompanied by flashing light, Peter and the previous Superior Spider-Man, now Doctor Octopus Otto, disappeared into the portal together.

Before the Spider-Men hanging on the wall could breathe a sigh of relief, Peter came back again. After a while, he disappeared, obviously teleporting to another multiverse. And after another ten minutes or so, he led a figure back, then walked to the portal and disappeared.

"If I didn't see wrong, that is Electro. How could the Sinister Six be with Spider-Man?"

"Wait! Look! He's back again..."

Peter appeared in the base hall again, then repeated the previous process, walked to the portal and disappeared, teleported out of the multiverse, led a certain villain back to the hall, and teleported again.

Peter and other villains walked from left to right, then from right to left. All the Spider-Men hung on the walls and ceilings, their heads turning from right to left, then from left to right.

Spider-Gwen hung on a pillar in the hall, watching Peter and various villains coming and going. She turned her head to look at the Amazing Spider-Man beside her and said, "Do you know what's going on? Why are you letting them use our teleportation technology?"

"Because this is a happy event for everyone." Amazing Spider-Man shrugged his shoulders and said, "He is providing new employment opportunities for the villains of my universe. This way, I don't have to spend so much time maintaining public order. Maybe I can finish the big project in my hands by the end of this year."

"Are you saying he is taking the villains from your universe to his universe? But how does he manage them? Isn't he afraid that those people will cause trouble in his world?" Another Spider-Man leaned over and asked.

Amazing Spider-Man shrugged his shoulders and said, "You don't understand his universe, it is actually..."

Amazing Spider-Man had once gone to the future of the universe where Peter was with him, so he knew what that universe was actually like. He explained to the other Spider-Men.

"Simply put, the other side is in a period of rapid development, labor is in short supply, and as long as one has a little special ability, one can be put into labor..."

"The people we usually deal with rarely have extremely vicious, irredeemable mental illnesses. Like Sandman and Electro, they only make trouble because they suffered unfair treatment. Like Dr. Otto, he is even more unlucky, just because of an accidental accident..."

"After these people go to their universe, not only will they not be discriminated against, but they will also be fought over by major work groups and project groups. As far as I know, there are two research institutes there that almost fought because they were fighting over Electro, who can control electricity. Now, there are enough Electros to go around."

Spider-Gwen immediately turned her eyes and said, "How many people are they short of? I think the Sinister Six of my world should also go do some proper work."

"Are they going there to work? How is the salary settled?"

"Will they be bullied over there? How is the treatment guaranteed?"

"Can we follow them and take a look? Actually, I have long felt that the universe I came from is boring. I also want to go see the Mercury base."

"I heard they got a few big spaceships. Can I go over and fly them? I don't ask to control the steering wheel, just stepping on the gas pedal once will do..."

"I heard they blew up a star last time. It's a pity we didn't see it. That must have been very beautiful..."

"Then is their gaming industry also better developed? Can I play the new works of those companies in advance?"

Suddenly, the whole hall was bustling with noise. There were only twenty or thirty Spider-Men in total, but they made the noise of two or three hundred people. Amazing Spider-Man stretched out his hands and shouted, "Don't argue! Don't argue!"

"You can't go travel now. Their New York has encountered a little trouble. I heard the military is playing tricks. It's very unsafe and not suitable for receiving tourists."

"What? The military is playing tricks again? I said, they have never stopped!"

"It doesn't matter. We can help him maintain public order after we go over. The solar system is so big, is there no place for us to live?"

"That's right. Wasn't the purpose of us establishing this organization before to help each other? The other side has trouble, we should go help him..."

"I originally came for the Inheritor family, but now the Inheritor family has disappeared. Then it's not impossible for us to go help that Spider-Man..."

"Who wants to go? I'll go prepare equipment!"

"Me, me, me, take me with you, take me with you. I want to see how they walked out of the solar system..."

"I'm going too. Anyway, the New York where I am has Iron Man and the others watching, nothing is happening..."

"Me! I happen to be on summer vacation!"

Instantly, many Spider-Men raised their hands. Peter Parker was originally a person who loved to join in the fun. Once it was mentioned that he could travel to a special universe, they all became excited very quickly.

Amazing Spider-Man thought for a while and said, "Alright, it was quite hard dealing with the Inheritor family last time. We will go to his universe to play for a few days together. As for the trouble caused by the military, what is there that so many Spider-Men can't solve?"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, let's go now. Are there any specialties we can buy over there?"

"Is our money universal? Do we need to calculate the exchange rate?"

"Where is my skirt? I want to wear a new skirt..."

The Spider-Men jumped down from the walls one after another. Some went to the equipment preparation room, some went to the cloakroom. Not long after, everyone had gathered their equipment and waited in the center of the hall.

When Peter came back again, he saw this formation and was stunned for a moment.

"What are you doing here?" Peter scratched his head and asked.

Amazing Spider-Man immediately walked up, hugged his shoulders, and said, "I told them about the situation in your universe that you told me last time. They are particularly interested and strongly requested to go to your home to visit."

Peter said, "However, now is not a good time to visit. Didn't I tell you? We have a little..."

"It doesn't matter." Amazing Spider-Man waved his hand and said, "We can help you settle the trouble. Believe us, there is nothing that a group of Spider-Men can't solve."

Peter turned his head and glanced at those Spider-Men who were rubbing their hands. Some were carrying suitcases, some were wearing sun hats. They didn't look like a superhero team, but more like a tour group.

Peter revealed an expression that was somewhat difficult, but he still said, "Alright, I can provide a place for you to camp, but you must promise me, you absolutely cannot add to the chaos..."

Amazing Spider-Man patted his chest and said, "Rest assured, don't you know us yet? We absolutely won't cause any trouble!" ===== CHAPTER 878 =====
