Chapter 788 Returning to Base Camp
Chapter 788 Returning to Headquarters
Peter and Gwen stayed on Earth 1616 for a few more days, mainly because there were some things that needed to be dealt with, especially the Jackal's secret base. It would be best to blow it up, although it would be a pity. But no matter which universe Peter Parker was from, it was unlikely that he would hand that thing over to the US government.
But figuring out how to blast the bomb without affecting the entire city of New York was a skill that required careful planning, and it took Peter two days of help to finally solve the problem. And with the problem solved, it was naturally time for him to leave.
"So, he really isn't planning on being Spider-Man anymore?"
Before leaving, Gwen asked Ben Riley with great curiosity. He had dyed his hair blonde, got a hairstyle completely different from Peter Parker's, and was planning to grow a beard.
And he was wearing a completely different Spider-Man suit, with a huge spider icon on the chest and spider legs that almost covered most of his body. This was Ben Riley's Spider-Man suit. Before destroying the Jackal's base, he had used the equipment within the base to completely perfect his genetic sequence, and now he could live like a normal person without worrying about his lifespan.
"Not really. He plans to find a job, lose weight, get back into training, and also go back to see MJ and learn how to be a father."
Ben Riley scratched his chin as he recounted the story, though he still found it strange for a clone to say such a thing: "Spider-Man will come back someday, but until then, this city still needs him."
"Perhaps at that time, this city will still be able to accommodate two Spider-Men."
Peter handed a hard drive to Ben Riley: "Some small gifts you might find useful. It's a shame we have to go, but the Jackals still have some trouble to deal with."
Jackal left behind two problems. One was the Green Goblin clone without any genetic defects. This guy escaped when the Sinister Sixteen raided the Daily Bugle building, and it's foreseeable that Ben Riley will have to deal with him frequently for some time to come.
Another point is that, according to the data in Jackal's computer, he once tried to create a Spider-Man clone, but the creation of that clone failed. A Spider-Man clone that was severely disfigured and whose abilities were out of control and extremely powerful has entered the New York sewer system. Peter has not been able to find this clone in the past two days, so he had to hand it over to Ben Riley.
Fortunately, after this battle, both Peter Parker and Ben Riley agreed to join the Spider League. They realized the League could help them in various ways, so they joined. Even if they encounter any problems, they can call on the League for assistance.
After saying goodbye to Ben Riley, Peter and Gwen used the Multiverse Bracelet to return to base camp. Peter seemed lost in thought. Gwen noticed this and waved it in front of him: "What's wrong? You look like that. Something happened?"
"No, no, it's nothing serious... uh, that doesn't seem right either."
In the multiverse, Sasla and her successor suddenly fell into a deathly silence for some unknown reason, and no other information was found. In universe 616, still no news came, as if nothing had happened to Mephisto either.
Before this bizarre situation could be resolved, a new problem arose—an ultimate Spider-Man appeared on Earth 1616, facilitating Jackal's transformation and providing him with substantial funding from Spider-Man villains. All of this proves that he is not fighting alone.
Even a small team of only two or three people would be quite troublesome given their current technical capabilities.
While Peter was pondering, the portal was completed, sending them back to base camp. Upon landing, Peter discovered that everyone else was gone; Miguel and his senior were nowhere to be found.
Cindy, on the other hand, arrived very quickly, most likely because she knew Peter had returned and rushed over.
As for Peter, he was very happy to see that Cindy had come over.
"Are you alright, Cindy?"
"I'm fine now, much better. Thank you for your concern."
"It's good that you're alright. By the way, where's Miguel? Where is he?"
Cindy actually knew where Miguel was. After telling Peter, she watched him leave in a hurry, leaving only Cindy and Gwen standing there. They looked at each other in silence for a while before Cindy took the initiative to ask, "Can you tell me what you encountered this time?"
"OK!"
Meanwhile, Peter successfully found Miguel, who was repairing the power supply at the energy hub with several other Spider-Men. Miguel seemed to take some time to confirm which universe Peter came from before standing up: "I won't ask why you're so late coming back. To be honest, I've found myself getting used to hearing that you've gotten into trouble again."
"This time it's a little different. The good news is that I recruited two new people to join me. The bad news is that in the process, I encountered a Spider-Man organization on a multiverse level. This organization is neither our League nor the Spider-Legion."
Miguel looked at Peter with an incredulous expression, as if to say, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
So Peter repeated everything to Miguel. After hearing Peter's account of Ultimate Spider-Man, Miguel looked at Peter with a serious expression and asked, "What do you think Ultimate Spider-Man's purpose is?"
"I don't know his deeper motives, but I know some of his current objectives."
Based on the comics Peter had read before and the current analysis, it's highly likely that he knew what the other party was planning to do.
Simply put, what the ultimate Spider-Man wants most is for anti-hero Spider-Men who don't have a no-kill policy but haven't fallen so low as to become servants of the Web Gods to join his team.
"But this time, Ultimate Spider-Man's actions have clearly crossed the line, even going so far as to actively create monsters and enemies."
Miguel shook his head, but Peter continued, "Speaking of which, do you have any suitable universes that need our help? I think maybe we'll come across a similar universe and then have a head-on confrontation with these guys."
Miguel didn't react for a moment. After a while, he opened a map of the entire multiverse and looked at Peter.
"There is indeed a universe; you can give it a try."
