Listening to Peter B's story, Darian gained a lot. He discovered that the Marvel Universe had many things to explore and excavate.
And he had to admit, the danger level of server 616B, where Peter B was located, was truly beyond imagination.
There, conflicts between Superheroes and Supervillains were almost commonplace. One could say there was a minor incident every day and a major crisis every week, ranging from the destruction of Earth to the entire server being reset.
After hearing all this, Darian immediately dismissed the idea of going to Peter B's server.
Although the other party's server had been online for a long time, with the World's main storyline advanced to a very late stage, Superheroes were everywhere, dimensional magic gods were common, and there were super-powered equipment and items everywhere.
But correspondingly, the danger level of that server was also ridiculously high; even Earth had been destroyed several times.
If Darian went there, he would likely be instantly defeated upon arrival.
In contrast, although Darian's server had just launched, the advantage was its relative safety. With his current power level, he could at least top the New York rankings, let alone the entire America.
"It's not too late to visit Peter B's server once my level is higher," Darian thought to himself.
However, despite Peter B's server having experienced many major events, its historical trajectory differed fundamentally from his server.
The most significant difference was that their Earth had never experienced the Battle of New York.
Therefore, Peter B's server story could only be used as a reference and should not be treated as the main server's future development path, or one would only suffer losses.
"What a terrifying Universe," Gwen couldn't help but exclaim.
Spider-Man Noir nodded in agreement: "The crises in this World are like a never-ending tide; people will never find true peace."
"Is this very dangerous?" Pork tilted his head, indicating he didn't understand.
After all, in his cartoon Universe, even if his body was blown to pieces, he could recover in the next second. For him, death was far less real and terrifying than his favorite food being stolen.
"Wait, when did you guys get here?"
Peter B turned around and saw the other three Spider-Men sitting neatly in a row, listening intently to his story and making their own comments. He immediately became unhappy.
This was paid content that only members could listen to. How could these three guys be freeloading here?
Just then, Peni finally created a new key and handed it to Darian.
"Due to time constraints, I could only make one for now. Be careful not to break it."
"Don't worry, I'm an old player," Darian said.
Darian wasn't a novice like Miles. He directly put the key into his game inventory.
Seeing this, the Spider-Men were envious, thinking it was a type of magic. They secretly sighed that magic was so convenient, but unfortunately, they couldn't use it.
Only Pork found it normal. Isn't it normal to have a four-dimensional pocket with you?
With the new key in hand, the group left the secret Base, preparing to find Kingpin's super-particle collider device.
But as soon as they walked out of the small shed in the backyard and returned to the main house, the door suddenly burst open.
Miles stumbled in, his purchased Spider-Man cosplay suit covered in dust and fresh scuff marks. His mask was half-pulled down, and his face showed fear and disbelief.
"No, this is bad!"
Miles leaned on the back of the sofa, his chest heaving violently, his voice broken by gasps: "My uncle, he's Prowler, one of Kingpin's subordinates, and he just tried to kill me!"
"Your origin story is a bit too brutal," Spider-Man Noir quipped.
Even if his art style leaned towards dark and gloomy, the Spider-Man's inherent chattiness remained undiminished.
Peter B repeatedly comforted Miles, telling him to look on the bright side, at least his uncle was still alive.
Miles: "?"
Darian was not surprised by this.
He became even more convinced that the name Spider-Man definitely came with some kind of curse.
Miles had only gained his Spider-Man abilities a few days ago, and a close relative had already turned into a Supervillain and attacked him so quickly.
"Were you followed?" Gwen, as the sheriff's daughter, immediately became alert.
"Uh, probably not..."
Miles felt a bit guilty. He had been too panicked while escaping just now, almost losing his shoes, so he couldn't pay attention to such details.
But he was quickly proven wrong.
In an instant, the Spider-Men in the house froze simultaneously. Their Spider-Sense blared like an alarm, detecting an imminent danger.
Only Darian remained calm; his Spider-Sense showed no reaction. It wasn't that it was malfunctioning, but rather that he felt this level of threat wasn't worth making a fuss over.
Bang!!
The door shattered, and amidst flying wood splinters, a green tentacle, like a snake-skin tube, burst through the door, striking at everyone with a tearing shriek!
"Watch out!" Peter B shouted, pulling the still-stunned Miles aside.
The other Spider-Men also reacted quickly, nimbly dodging in all directions.
Only Darian stood still, unmoving.
Just as the green tentacle was about to hit him, he casually raised a hand, his five fingers directly grabbing the green tentacle.
That fierce blow, powerful enough to shatter concrete, was firmly held by his single hand. All its kinetic energy seemed to disappear into the sea, and the green tentacle twisted wildly in his palm, but could no longer advance an inch.
"Hmm!?"
A questioning voice came from outside the door.
A woman, entirely green, with three tentacles waving behind her, burst into the living room, her face clearly astonished.
She was Lady Octopus, one of Spider-Man's arch-enemies. Unlike the short, stout Dr. Octopus in Peter B's server, Dr. Octopus in this server was a female and also Kingpin's partner.
Lady Octopus had not expected her attack to be so easily parried. After a brief shock, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
"Let's see if you have four arms!" Lady Octopus glared fiercely at Darian, while her other three green tentacles shot out like venomous snakes, striking at Darian's vital points from different angles with extreme speed!
"Coincidentally, I do have them."
Darian smiled slightly, and four crimson and gold mechanical spider claws instantly sprang from behind him, blocking the assault of the three green tentacles!
"What!?" Lady Octopus's eyes widened, her expression disbelieving.
This appearance, why did it look so similar to her?
"Could it be that you are me from a parallel World?"
Lady Octopus, as the designer of the super-particle collider device, naturally understood the concept of the Multiverse. Naturally, she took Darian for her counterpart.
"No, I am the righteous Spider-Man!" The runes on Darian's mask wriggled like living things, emitting an eerie, evil aura.
You're probably the corrupted version of Spider-Man!
Lady Octopus shivered and shouted, "Help me!"
Bang!
As her words fell, a burly figure crashed through the house's wall, its abnormally large head charging directly towards Darian!
Darian immediately released the green tentacle he was holding, flashed aside, and avoided this bull-like charge.
He glanced at the attacker's information and couldn't help but chuckle: "Isn't this Hammerhead? Long time no see."
That's right, the attacker was this Universe's Hammerhead. His appearance was completely different from Darian's impression, but his forehead was just as large.
Hammerhead?
Is he calling me?
Hammerhead heard Darian's words, somewhat confused, and sneered: "It seems I exist in your World too. I suppose I've caused you quite a bit of trouble, haven't I?"
He had a good grasp of himself; his appearance was destined to be a villain, a nemesis of Spider-Man to gain some popularity.
Darian nodded: "Indeed. Back then, your body was too large to transport, so I had to cut off your head to complete the mission. Your head should still be in the S.H.I.E.L.D. research department now."
Hammerhead: "..."
The other party seemed to have inadvertently revealed some terrifying information.
At this moment, the other Spider-Men couldn't spare a hand to help Darian, because they discovered several dangerous figures approaching the house from all directions.
These uninvited guests were all Spider-Man's old adversaries: Tombstone, an albino Black man; Scorpion, who looked like Urgot; Miles's uncle, Prowler; and another old acquaintance of Darian, Green Goblin.
It's worth mentioning that this server's Green Goblin was indeed a monster, even larger than the house, covered in green scales, and with a pair of large wings, a living demon.
"Don't worry, it's seven against six, we have a big advantage," Peter B tried to boost morale.
No sooner had he spoken than a towering figure, like a small mountain, blocked the hole in the wall. Although he looked somewhat different, Peter B immediately recognized the newcomer's identity.
The most infamous fat man in all of New York, the emperor of the underworld, Kingpin!
"Alright, seven against seven. We're even now."
The scene became incredibly crowded.
It was a struggle for Aunt May's old house. The already not-so-spacious living room was now crammed with over a dozen people, with hardly any standing room left.
Of course, the colossal Green Goblin remained outside, otherwise, this old house would probably have burst.
"No matter which Universe's Spider-Man, they're always so meddlesome."
Kingpin's eyes, filled with murderous intent, slowly swept over every Spider-Man present.
Regardless of what other Universe's Kingpin was like, this Universe's Kingpin cared more about family. To bring back his deceased wife and son from a parallel Universe, he spared no expense, having Lady Octopus create the super-particle collider device.
This was his obsession, and he would never allow anyone to hinder his plan.
Kingpin wasted no more words and directly gave the order.
"Take them down!"
Upon receiving the command, the Supervillains immediately swarmed forward, each picking their opponent.
Even Miles was randomly matched with an opponent of similar level, his uncle Prowler.
Miles: "..."
Darian, on the other hand, was matched with the several-meter-tall Green Goblin.
Lady Octopus and Hammerhead both felt that Darian was not to be trifled with, so they decisively threw this trouble to the not-so-bright Green Goblin.
"Roar—!"
Green Goblin let out a roar, smashing through the roof with a punch. Wood splinters and rubble rained down as its giant, green-scaled hand swiftly grabbed at Darian!
Aunt May: My home!
Darian reacted swiftly. Just before the giant hand closed, he had already leaped up, landing lightly on the rooftop.
"So you're called Green Goblin, huh?" Darian looked at the Green Goblin, whose size even surpassed Hulk, and spoke with disdain.
The next second, he instantly switched to the Green Goblin suit, stepping onto his glider and flying into the air: "Watch closely, this is the real Green Goblin!"
Green Goblin: "???"
Peter B, who was struggling with Kingpin in the living room below, took a moment to glance up at the scene on the rooftop, his expression instantly becoming extremely strange.
No, man, isn't your composition a bit too complex!
Peter B's Universe also had a humanoid Green Goblin, so he naturally recognized the outfit at a glance.
Without another word, Darian controlled the glider and unleashed a "Million Bombs" attack, personally taught by Tony, upon the Green Goblin.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—!
Several miniature missiles, trailing flames, slammed into Green Goblin, and huge explosions erupted one after another.
Green Goblin was violently shaken by the explosions, letting out painful and angry roars. Large patches of scorched marks appeared on its green scales.
"Roar!!"
Green Goblin's eyes glowed fiercely, its two large wings flapped rapidly, and it viciously pounced at Darian!
Darian activated the passive skill of the old driver's soul, skillfully maneuvering the glider to dodge in the air, while simultaneously pulling out two golden desert eagles and pulling the triggers at Green Goblin!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang—!
Bullets infused with special energy shot out, precisely striking Green Goblin's massive head!
The bullets were not deflected by the scales but instead carved out several shocking bloody holes. Dark green blood and some tissue fluid instantly splattered out!
"Ah—!!"
Green Goblin let out a human-like shriek, its claws desperately clutching its bleeding head, its massive body twisting and rolling in the air.
Fortunately, its physique attribute was relatively high, and its thick health bar allowed it to withstand this headshot attack. The bullets failed to penetrate its skull and cause a fatal injury.
Darian heard Green Goblin's clear cry of pain and immediately chuckled: "So you can talk, huh? I thought you were just a monster acting purely on instinct. Why be a monster and just roar when you can be a good human?"
"You deserve to die!"
The intense pain and humiliation completely ignited Green Goblin's ferocity. It charged at Darian recklessly!
However, just as it neared Darian, an equally massive Shadow, like a falling meteor, descended from the sky with thunderous force!
Boom!!!
The dark Shadow directly smashed onto Green Goblin's back, and with immense force and inertia, it slammed him from the air to the ground like an insect swatted by a fly swatter!
The powerful impact shook the surroundings, and dust billowed into the sky.
As the dust settled slightly, BT, with its military-green body, was half-crouched in the crater it had created, one mechanical giant foot firmly planted on Green Goblin's back, pinning him down.
Its single eye emitted a bright blue light, and a cold mechanical voice rang out.
"Protocol 3: Protect the Pilot!"
Such a huge commotion instantly drew the attention of everyone present.
They saw the colossal BT and were somewhat stunned.
What a huge mech!
Peni also piloted a mech, but her Spider-Mech looked like a child's toy compared to BT.
BT: [...]
Spider Mech: Pan゜゜piece
Peni was unconvinced. It was just bigger, that's all. Who was stronger was still uncertain!
Thinking this, she saw BT use an elbow strike, pinning Green Goblin to the ground and grinding him.
Pure stats + Titan's Fist!
Green Goblin was completely helpless, his face swollen several times over from the elbows, and he immediately passed out.
Peni: "..."
Alright, the other one was indeed more powerful.
