Chapter 162 The Spider Army is Assembling
Joey, who had rendered Moron harmless in the sun, turned back towards Earth with a heavy heart, only to find new troubles befalling him.
Penny Parker, the pilot of the Spider-Man SP//dr, a mecha Spider-Man from the EVA universe.
Maddie Parker is a spider girl from a parallel universe, the daughter of Peter Parker, who is already married and has a family.
And Spider-Ham from the Animal Universe, Peter Burke, whose true form has been transformed into a pig.
A spider, a pig; Peter Parker, funny.
Looking at the spider/pig from afar, Joey, who was in a depressed mood, suddenly chuckled.
It's quite a coincidence that its design and name can play on puns and homophones in both Chinese and English contexts.
However, playing silly puns and double entendres won't save the world these days.
The fact that so many Spider-Men from the multiverse are traveling together, and following in Moron's footsteps, can only prove one thing.
The Heirs, to which Morlen belongs, have been hunting Spider-Man across the endless multiverse, raising alarm among the Spider-Man community.
In order to protect themselves, these Spider-Men also began to gather together under the leadership of some of their followers, and fight against these Spider-Man Hunters as a team.
On one side is a spider army with an average strength of tens of tons per hand; on the other side is an immortal vampire family that traverses the universe.
Although these may seem like minor skirmishes, they are ultimately a deadly armed conflict spanning hundreds or even thousands of multiverses.
Right now, Joey really wants to stay out of this universe, not for any other reason than that he already has enough troubles on his hands.
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Peter Burke, Spider-Ham, who was barely taller than Joey's knees, shook his clever pig head. He understood Joey's mindset; who wouldn't want their universe to be peaceful and tranquil forever?
"The members of these inherited families will not easily abandon their prey. As long as Spider-Man exists in this universe, those bastards will not give up their harassment of this universe."
Parker, who had only recently become Spider-Man, shuddered upon hearing this: "As long as I live, my universe will never be at peace, so must I die?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
The five people present immediately refuted Peter's capitulationist thinking.
The enemy is here to wipe out all the Spider-Men in the multiverse. Who would just sit there and wait to be slaughtered?
"Come with us. We are assembling an army of Spider-Men from all over the multiverse to fight for their survival."
The speaker was Penny Parker, the mecha spider. This middle school girl, after experiencing several tough battles, had already displayed a maturity and composure far surpassing that of her classmate Shinji.
"We can protect you, and we will defeat them and free the entire multiverse from the clutches of this family."
Having just awakened his abilities and still unaware of the true meaning of "With great power comes great responsibility," Peter Parker showed a look of excitement:
"I."
You are a young man going through a phase of feeling immature and eccentric, when one day you have a miraculous encounter: a mysterious girl falls from the sky and asks you to become a hero to save the world.
Which high school student could resist such a temptation?
"No, Peter Parker isn't going anywhere."
Joey was the first to pour cold water on Peter's enthusiasm:
"Calm down, Peter. You're too old to even drink alcohol!"
Rationally speaking, Joey could have simply nodded and handed Peter, whose eyes were already shining, over to the other party, thus ending the matter once and for all.
The Heirs are positioned in the multiverse based on Spider-Man's essence, the so-called "Spider-Totem." Once Peter leaves, they will never be able to return to this universe.
From a moral standpoint, Joey couldn't just turn a blind eye and let Peter leave.
Joey now knows one thing for sure: the Peter Parker in front of him is not the protagonist in this conflict story.
Without Starfire and his own help, Puck, who had just awakened his abilities, was already a dried-up corpse that had been completely devoured by Moron.
Once these three Spider-Men from another world arrive, with Morlen's strength, it might just be a buy-one-get-three-free deal.
To simply let Peter, who had just awakened his abilities, leave with these three Spider-Men, even if it meant he had to risk his life, was a blessing in disguise.
Joey cursed under his breath, realizing he was just asking for trouble. He was already embroiled in problems, yet he couldn't bring himself to stay out of it.
But perhaps this is the meaning of "Superman" or "superhero".
If Tony Stark in this universe can selflessly help his own universe avoid the ravages of war, why can't I help this universe, and Peter Parker in this universe, avoid disaster?
"No, Peter must come with us."
Maddie Parker, the Spider-Girl with a melancholy expression, has already experienced firsthand what the identity of Spider-Man will bring to her closest friends and family.
This made her determined to take away Peter Parker, the Spider-Man who survived in the universe, no matter what:
"His presence in this universe will only put everyone around him in danger."
"Don't think that killing them will solve everything. We've lost several of our comrades and killed one or two of them. The conclusion we've drawn is that they can resurrect indefinitely."
"You are trying to fight a dangerous enemy that travels across different timelines. In a single second within your universe, they could be planning countless attacks from beyond. You can't win forever!"
Before Maddie Parker could finish speaking, she and the other three Spider-Men present all shuddered simultaneously. It was the Spider-Sense that was triggering their nerves, warning them of impending danger.
An unusual light from the time-space teleportation portal shone directly above several Spider-Men. Before the portal was fully open, a figure with an appearance and clothing almost identical to Moron rushed out.
This figure was far more robust than Moron, and his eyes burned with a more frenzied look than Moron's—a hunger that never ceased.
This is Damiens, Moron's brother.
He had just learned that Morgen had suffered another crushing defeat in a universe, unlike Spider-Man 61, who possessed the most amazing abilities.
Universe 6.
This is a wild universe without even a number. What could possibly make your brother eat such a huge thing?
Filled with curiosity, Damiens stepped into the portal and sensed that there were four Spider-Men present. He couldn't help but wave his giant warhammer and shout excitedly:
"My brother didn't tell me there were so many delicious things here! You all just gathered together like this, saving me the time and effort of searching for them one by one!"
In Damiens' eyes, the four spiders present were top-notch ingredients, along with two women, a roll of bacon, and a freshly baked one.
Such an opportunity, which his useless brother Molun couldn't even seize, is now all his to possess!
"It's Damons, prepare the portal!"
Penny Parker begins operating the portal, attempting to evacuate the area as quickly as possible. Spider-Ham and Spider-Girl shoot out webs to try and slow down the other's movements, but to little avail.
Damiens' arrival caused the three Spider-Man members, who had already witnessed his abilities, to look grave. Before opening the portal, they shouted to Joey:
"Let's take Peter Parker with us! The universe will never be safe as long as he's gone!"
For them, no one wanted to fall into Damiens' hands.
Unlike his other more pragmatic siblings who were basically focused on hunting, Damons was a true monster.
They always have all sorts of morbid and distorted desires for their prey.
With his crimson eyes sweeping over the other two, Damons, who had descended from the sky, didn't hesitate and swung his hammer at Joey's head.
He planned to eliminate this irrelevant ant, which was neither woman nor spider, before slowly enjoying his feast:
"I'll enjoy your screams!"
"Step back a bit, Spark."
After giving prior notice, Joey's heat vision melted the giant hammer of unknown material in Damons' hand into a pool of molten iron.
Then he levitated, exerted force with both hands, and pressed down on the other man's shoulders, rendering him unable to move no matter how much he struggled:
"I guarantee your relationship with your brother is definitely not good enough."
If Moron had cared about his brother after taking a few minutes of hot water in the solar wind, he would never have allowed Damons to invade the universe alone again.
What Spider-Girl Medea said earlier makes some sense. For vampires like the Heirs who can resurrect infinitely, they can invade Joey's universe anytime, anywhere, even from outside the world.
Just like now, two vampires have visited within ten minutes.
Even without waiting, this continuous drain on resources is already making Joey tired of seeing these annoying aircraft filth parasites.
"I'm going to do something next, and this isn't directed at you personally, but please take it as a warning."
"What warning?"
Despite being much taller than Joey, Damons was still easily restrained and puzzled, but he didn't forget to struggle.
His fists and legs rained down on Joey, but he could only feel the opponent's unyielding strength:
"Don't be so smug for long. Even if you kill me, I'll be back!"
He had already realized how difficult this prey was, but as always, he could always start over, challenge it again and again, and eventually he would always win.
"Ha, okay, I hope you can come back."
The next day after sleeping with Spark, new troubles arose, piling up and making Joey's already extremely upset state even worse.
Faced with such a despicable enemy, he felt he could temporarily unleash the beast within him.
Joey smiled and waved to the four Spider-Men behind him:
"Ladies and minors present, please close your eyes."
Before even saying the words "close your eyes," Joey had already used both hands to pull out the Damons in his hands, ignoring the screams of everyone present, including Damons, and slowly tore the Damons in his hands into two perfectly even halves.
Yes, it's very uniform, with the weight difference on both sides definitely within one kilogram—who would have thought that bio-force fields could be used like this?
"Remember to be more careful in your next life, if you want to come back again."
Even though he was split in two, Damiens was still breathing. His powerful life force kept him conscious. Upon hearing those words, he finally understood what the warning the red-cloaked man had meant before abandoning his body.
If his family insisted on visiting his planet, he wouldn't mind arranging a gruesome death for the invaders every time. Joey wasn't sure if such power would be effective against a vampire; he might just be doing it to vent his anger.
However, such actions might be a bit too strong for the friendly side.
Section D!
Everyone present except for Starfire and Penny Parker immediately burst out laughing.
