Chapter 896: Starry Splendor (39)

In a somewhat dim laboratory, Otto put a stack of documents back on the shelf, straightened the labels he had messed up, looked down at his watch, and sighed.

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

"Spider-Man, why are you here now... wait, you are not Spider-Man!" Otto turned around instantly, 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 already had 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 here 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 get out quickly. I have things to do."

"Ahem." Spider-Man cleared his throat and said: "It's like this, you should know that the humans in our universe have already started developing the solar system, but we don't have enough scientific research personnel, and we need excellent scientific research personnel..."

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

"No matter what your world has developed into, I have no interest in it. Look at the city outside. This entire set of city monitoring 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 muttering in a low voice, as if reviewing lines. Before Otto could finish, Spider-Man spoke up: "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: "Of course, there are also many excellent research personnel in the research institute. Besides Dr. Otto, there are Dr. Reed, Dr. Banner, Dr. Ethan..."

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 documents, and heard Spider-Man continue:

"Also, the pharmaceutical research group there has developed a lizard serum, which can not only cure most external injuries but also allow disabled limbs to regrow. At the same time, they also hold a serum that can significantly extend human life..."

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, 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 stepping into the sea of stars once again."

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

The whole scene only heard "whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh." Within a few seconds, the base almost became a spider cave. All the Spider-Men fired webs to hang themselves on the walls, staring with those spider compound eyes at Peter and Otto walking across the floor.

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

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

"That damn Doctor Octopus... they are going 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. After a while, he disappeared, obviously teleporting to another multiverse. And after another ten minutes, he brought back another figure, then walked to the portal and disappeared.

"If I didn't see wrong, that's 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, brought back a certain villain, appeared in the hall again, 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 to look at the Amazing Spider-Man next to her and said: "Do you know what's going on? Why are you letting them use our portal technology?"

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

"You mean, he is bringing the villains of 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.

The Amazing Spider-Man shrugged and said: "You don't understand his universe, it's actually..."

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

"Simply put, the other side is in a period of rapid development, with a shortage of labor. As long as they have a little special ability, they can be put into labor..."

"The people we usually deal with rarely have extremely vicious, irredeemable mental patients. Like Sandman and Electro, they only cause trouble every day 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 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 real 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 go over and take a look? Actually, I have long felt that my original universe 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 is enough..."

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

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

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

"You can't go travel now. Their New York 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 law and order after we go over. The solar system is so big, can't there be a place for us to live?"

"That's right. Isn't the purpose of us establishing this organization mutual help? If the other party has trouble, we should go help him..."

"I originally came for the Vampire Family, but now the Inheritor Family has disappeared, so going to help that Spider-Man is not impossible..."

"Who is going? I'll go prepare equipment!"

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

"I'll go 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 soon became excited.

The Amazing Spider-Man thought for a while and said: "Okay, dealing with the Inheritor Family last time was also quite hard. Let's go to his universe and play for a few days together. As for the trouble caused by the military, what is there that so many Spider-Men can't handle?"

"Quick quick quick, let's go now. Are there any specialties there that can be bought?"

"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. Before long, everyone had their equipment ready and waited in the center of the hall.

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

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

The 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 visit your home."

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

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

Peter looked back 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 a somewhat troubled expression, but he still said: "Okay, I can provide you with a place to camp, but you have to promise me, you must not cause trouble..."

The Amazing Spider-Man patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, don't you know us yet? We will definitely not cause any trouble!"
