Mjolnir was enchanted by Odin, and only those with noble character were worthy of wielding Mjolnir, becoming the new Thor, and gaining the power bestowed by Mjolnir.
Unlike the Mjolnir that BT acquired by exploiting a bug, Peter B was genuinely worthy of wielding Mjolnir and could use its power.
It is said that in Peter B's Universe, he was not the only one who could wield Mjolnir.
For example, Captain America Steve had also wielded Mjolnir, and besides him, there were Odin, Black Widow Natasha, Thor's girlfriend Jane Foster, and Beta Ray Bill.
Adding them up, there were probably double digits!
Darian was a bit disappointed. He originally thought Mjolnir was a very prestigious piece of equipment, but hearing this, it sounded like a shared hammer, and anyone could lift Mjolnir.
Well, his Justice value would reach the usage requirement sooner or later, so this statement wasn't cursing himself.
The most intense reaction came from Zombie Thor.
Mjolnir was his exclusive weapon, like a goddess. For thousands of years, only he was worthy of her favor.
But now, he watched his goddess being defiled by Peter B, that old man. What was worse, the goddess showed no resistance during the process and even cooperated!
In fact, ever since he became a zombie, he had long lost the qualification to wield Mjolnir.
It was only out of old affection, and the absence of a suitable successor, that Mjolnir had remained by his side.
But now, seeing Peter B, an honest man, take over, it decisively ran off with him.
No matter how Zombie Thor roared and summoned, Mjolnir remained unmoved, staying obediently in Peter B's hand, indicating that they should no longer contact each other, as it feared Peter B might misunderstand.
"No—!"
Zombie Thor let out a cry of despair like a wronged husband.
Darian didn't hesitate, decisively raising Loki's dagger and forcefully stabbing it into Zombie Thor's head!
Zombie Thor, without his arms and Mjolnir, had no power to resist. His body twitched a few times, then stopped moving, collapsing heavily to the ground.
Darian glanced at the mini-map; all red dots representing enemies had disappeared.
This sudden zombie crisis was finally completely resolved.
At the same time, the system's voice sounded in his ear.
[Quest'Source of the Plague' settlement complete]
[Rewards obtained: 3000 EXP, Anchor Shard * 3, Equipment 'Level Six Helmet', Item 'Fusion Stone']
[Equipment: Level Six Helmet (Crafted from high-strength special materials, possesses excellent defensive performance, can completely block one headshot from a firearm)]
[Item: Fusion Stone (Can fuse two pieces of equipment. The effect after fusion is unknown, and they cannot be separated)]
"This Level Six Helmet just happens to match the Level Six Armor I got earlier."
Darian skipped the Level Six Helmet and looked at the Fusion Stone.
This item was somewhat interesting, but it was too much of a gamble. The effect after fusion was unknown. If two powerful pieces of equipment fused into a useless piece of junk, he would have no room for regret.
After dealing with all the zombie heroes, the Spider-Men finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The pressure these zombie heroes brought upon them was simply too great.
A slight misstep could have led to a complete wipeout, and the entire Multiverse would have become a buffet for these zombie heroes.
However, now they were considered Super Heroes who saved the Multiverse.
This resume alone would be enough for them to brag about for a lifetime.
Darian glanced at the super-particle collider device, which was emitting increasingly violent energy fluctuations, and reminded them, "The super-particle collider device is about to overload. You must leave here as soon as possible."
These words brought the Spider-Men, who were immersed in the joy of victory, back to reality.
The time for farewells had finally arrived.
"It was great knowing you all, Spider-Men."
Peter B pulled down his mask, a rare look of ease and sincerity on his face after much tribulation.
"Me too. Seeing you all, I realized I'm not alone."
"I love you all!"
"Goodbye, Spider-Men."
"..."
After the Spider-Men bid farewell to each other, Darian operated the control panel, locking onto the server numbers of each Spider-Man.
The Spider-Men waved their final goodbyes, then one by one leaped into the quantum portal. Their figures flashed in the energy vortex, then completely disappeared, returning to their familiar Universes.
Peter B was the last to leave.
He dropped the Mjolnir he had just acquired and said to Darian, "Darian, the rest is up to you."
Darian nodded, pulled out a pre-prepared check from his pocket, and handed it over.
"This is the remuneration I promised you earlier. It says one million U.S. dollars. Spend it slowly when you go back."
Peter B was stunned: "Darian, you..."
"Alright, save the thanks. Hurry up and go. If you drag your feet any longer, the super-particle collider device is going to explode!"
Darian disliked such sentimental moments. Without waiting for him to finish, he cut him off decisively and pushed Peter B into the quantum portal.
He knew Peter B was deeply moved, as could be seen from the tears in his eyes.
At this moment, Peter B really wanted to cry.
Not because of gratitude, but because checks were not valid in different Universes!
"You should have given me something like gold that can be exchanged for money—!"
This indignant cry ultimately failed to be fully conveyed, as his figure disappeared into the energy vortex.
After seeing off the friendly and lawful Spider-Men, it was time to deal with the evil versions of Spider-Man.
Spider-Man of the Apocalypse and Spider-Demon Patton had already been escorted to the scene by Prowler, whom Darian had contacted in advance.
Given the special circumstances of these evil Spider-Men, Darian thoughtfully prepared farewell gifts for each of them: several powerful time bombs, firmly fixed in their mouths and on their bodies. Even Hydra Spider-Man and Zombie Spider-Man, who only had their heads left, were not spared.
As soon as they returned to their respective servers, these time bombs would automatically explode, ensuring no future troubles.
As for what problems this would cause in their servers, that was not something Darian needed to care about.
Evil Spider-Men: You are the evil Spider-Man!
Darian didn't care what they thought, kicking them one by one into the quantum portal and watching them disappear into the energy vortex.
[Dungeon Quest 'Passing Spider-Man' completed]
[Starting dungeon reward settlement.]
[Rewards as follows: 25000 EXP, Free Attribute Points * 8, Skill'Super Armor', Equipment "Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon", Item 'Road Roller', Item 'Volley of Arrows', Item'Stare and Impregnate']
[Skill: Super Armor (When activated, grants immunity to crowd control effects for a short period, including but not limited to knockbacks, stuns, roots, and other negative effects, but still takes damage. Cooldown is one hour)]
[Equipment: Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon (Its design possesses an extreme masculine beauty. It is said to be a powerful weapon that has experienced many battles, even involved in a certain interstellar war)]
[Item: Road Roller (No need to say more, eat my Road Roller!)]
[Item: Volley of Arrows (Can instantly release a dense rain of arrows covering a large area)]
[Item: Stare and Impregnate (Glasses blessed by the Child-Giving Guanyin. When used on any single living creature, it can immediately cause them to enter a state of pregnancy, regardless of gender. The contained magic power only supports one use)]
Darian originally thought that after so long, he had already gotten used to the game's occasional abstractness.
But now, he realized he was still too young.
Aside from Super Armor and Volley of Arrows which seemed somewhat normal, what were the other three things?
The Road Roller was fine; its function was similar to the previous Hundred-Ton King.
But this Armstrong Cannon, with its somewhat indescribable shape, wasn't it ridiculously over the top? If this thing were pulled out on the battlefield, the enemies would probably die of laughter before they were even killed.
And the'Stare and Impregnate' glasses, that was even more incredible.
Its effect was just like its name: whoever was stared at would get pregnant, and it wasn't limited by gender. If a man were to get pregnant on the spot, the scene would be unimaginable!
With these two bizarre items in front of him, Darian's attention was completely diverted, and he even momentarily forgot to study the newly acquired Super Armor skill.
In the face of extreme abstractness, even the most practical skill effects seemed to pale in comparison.
[Congratulations, Player, you have successfully leveled up!]
[Player: Darian]
[Level: 24 (3000 / 68000)]
[Attributes: Strength 92, Agility 46, Constitution 56, Spirit 36]
[Allocatable Free Attribute Points: 13]
Darian didn't hesitate much, directly putting his Strength attribute to one hundred, and then allocating the remaining free attribute points to the other three attributes.
Soon, his personal panel changed.
[Attributes: Strength 100, Agility 47, Constitution 58, Spirit 38]
His Strength attribute finally broke through the hundred mark!
However, Darian stood in place, feeling for a moment, and his body didn't seem to have any special changes.
"That's it?"
Darian was greatly disappointed: "At least give me some cool special effects, or send a reward as a token."
The system ignored Darian's frantic hints, simply issuing a normal prompt.
[Dungeon quest completed. Player can stay in the dungeon for a maximum of 24 hours. During this period, player can choose to teleport out of the dungeon at any time]
Darian did not choose to leave immediately, but instead commanded BT to start collecting the equipment and weapons dropped by the zombie heroes on the battlefield, including Zombie Thor's Mjolnir.
Max, meanwhile, used the remaining hydrofluoric acid to carefully clear away all the zombie hero corpses on the field.
As all the Spider-Men departed, the super-particle collider device in the center of the laboratory began to emit an unstable hum, and the energy readings fluctuated violently, clearly on the verge of its limit.
"Time to go."
Darian unhesitatingly activated the pre-set self-destruct program, then called Electro Max and Prowler, and quickly evacuated from Fisk Tower.
They had just rushed out of the main entrance of the tower and run less than a hundred meters when a deafening roar came from behind them.
Rumble—!
The violent explosion caused the entire tower to shake frantically. The glass curtain walls instantly turned to dust, load-bearing structures collapsed one after another, and dust and smoke soared into the sky.
Thanks to the huge commotion caused by Darian and the others' battle with the zombie heroes earlier, the personnel in the tower and surrounding areas had already been evacuated, and this earth-shattering explosion did not cause any additional civilian casualties.
[Quest 'The One Left Behind' settlement complete]
[Rewards obtained: 2000 EXP, Anchor Shard * 1, Item 'Poisoned Apple']
[Item: Poisoned Apple (After eating, will fall into a state of absolute suspended animation, unable to be detected by any means of life. Only a True Love's Kiss can reawaken. Note: True Love's Kiss requires a special NPC with 100 Affection)]
Good item, but the usage conditions were too strict.
Darian still didn't have a single special NPC with 100 Affection.
Affection, this thing, became harder to increase the higher it got.
Currently, among all special NPCs, Tony Stark had the highest Affection at 95, the closest to 100 Affection.
But thinking that 100 Affection was actually the trigger condition for a True Love's Kiss, Darian suddenly shivered.
He suddenly felt that 95 Affection was quite good, and there was no need to pursue too much perfection.
Darian was not in a hurry to leave the dungeon, but stayed to study the equipment of the zombie heroes.
Most of these zombie heroes relied on their superpowers, and not many actually used equipment.
After some searching, there were only a few noteworthy spoils of war: Mjolnir, Captain America's Shield, a broken Iron Man Suit, and Zombie Falcon's chicken wings.
As for other miscellaneous equipment, Darian either didn't care for it or it was severely damaged and had lost its utility.
In addition, BT also brought back Zombie Wolverine's complete skeleton.
[Adamantium]
[Description: A special alloy developed by fusing multiple metals, possessing extremely high hardness and heat resistance, and cannot be destroyed by conventional means]
Facing such a rare top-tier material, Darian naturally wouldn't miss it.
He was already planning to smelt it and reforge it into a powerful new piece of equipment.
Perhaps due to coming from the Zombie Universe, Captain America's Shield did not have that mind-polluting effect, so Darian could safely put it into his game inventory along with other equipment.
"What a bountiful harvest!"
Darian was quite satisfied with this haul.
The drop rate in this dungeon was surprisingly high; it even dropped top-tier equipment like Mjolnir, far exceeding his expectations.
Since there was still remaining time, Darian naturally wouldn't waste it.
He had Prowler, who was familiar with the local situation, lead the way, actively seeking out Super Villains in the city, wearing his spider-man suit, and began collecting useful equipment and valuable items everywhere.
In the dungeon World, Darian was completely uninhibited, fully displaying the true nature of a player.
If they didn't give, he'd take. If they didn't comply, he'd beat them!
Soon, a piece of news spread throughout the underworld.
It was said that this was the successor of a deceased Spider-Man, whose methods were extremely cruel, and even Kingpin and his cronies had died by his hand.
Moreover, this new Spider-Man would actively seek out famous villains, demanding equipment and wealth from them, being even more terrifying than Kingpin, the boss of the underworld.
Kingpin at least followed some rules, but this new Spider-Man only talked with his fists, exuding an aura of a bully.
Thus, the title 'Bully Spider-Man' began to circulate.
Those well-informed Super Villains all complained about Kingpin, that fat slob.
Why on earth did he kill the original Spider-Man? That Spider-Man would at most put them in jail, but this new Spider-Man was completely different; he would truly send them to hell!
24 hours quickly passed.
Seeing the time limit approaching, Darian was too lazy to continue searching for those lucky Super Villains who were trembling and barely surviving in the final circle.
He turned to Prowler: "I'm leaving this Universe. Remember to say goodbye to your nephew for me."
Prowler hadn't closed his eyes for a whole day and was physically and mentally exhausted.
Hearing this, his previously listless spirit suddenly perked up.
"That's great—oh no, I mean, that's too bad!"
Noticing Darian's slight change in expression, Prowler quickly corrected himself, trying to suppress the involuntary upward curve of his lips.
As the guide, he had offended almost all the Super Villains in New York's underworld today. Once Darian left, the survivors would definitely pin the blame on him.
If he ever showed up as Prowler again, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.
At this moment, hearing that Darian was finally leaving, he raised all five limbs in approval!
Darian was truly too terrifying.
If he continued to stay in their Universe, who knew what he would turn their Universe into.
However, on second thought, Kingpin and other top villains had been eliminated, and Darian had also swept away most of the dark forces. For Miles, who had just started his career, this was like going from a hellish start directly to a god-tier start, which was a good thing.
Darian patted Prowler's shoulder: "No need for many farewells. That's it. I don't have anything to give you, so why don't you give me something as a souvenir? I think your equipment looks pretty good."
Prowler: "..."
