Seeing that everyone was silent, Lucas threw the button he had given Matt to Tony.
"I'm leaving first. Two days later, press this button, and I'll come over."
After he finished speaking, a portal opened in front of Lucas.
The other side of the portal was Earth-65, outside Gwen's house in Queens, New York.
Lucas stepped out and passed through the portal.
The portal dissipated, and sparks scattered like cherry blossoms. After falling to the ground, they slowly faded away.
Seeing the information on the house number, Nick Fury turned to Coulson and asked, "Queens, New York? Does Lucas have another property there besides the bookstore?"
Coulson pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head. "No. Although Lucas's whereabouts are hard to trace, his assets are easy to check.
"There are no properties in Queens, New York, listed under his name."
Tony explained, "That's Gwen's house, it's New York in another Universe."
After he finished speaking, he raised the button in his hand to show it.
"He gave me this thing and told me to contact him in two days because the flow of time in the two Universes is different."
Other Universes?
The others looked at each other, disbelieving.
No wonder Lucas said destroying a nation was just a small matter. It turned out he could already travel freely between Universes.
However, if the portal can travel through Universes, then Tony...
Thinking of this, their gazes turned fervent as they looked at Tony.
Tony said helplessly, "I'm still a little short."
Damn it, I shouldn't have explained, now I'm really a fraud.
...
Earth-65, New York, the night wind was slightly cool.
Passing through the portal, Lucas arrived in front of Gwen's house. His ears twitched, discerning the situation inside the house and he knocked on the door.
"Gwen, George, I'm coming in."
He stepped out, passed through the door, and bumped into Gwen, who was about to leave.
George in the living room silently walked further into the house.
His daughter was growing up.
Lucas hugged Gwen, knowingly asking, "Gwen, are you going out?"
Gwen gently pushed Lucas away, turned to look at George, and saw that he had already turned and gone back into the house.
Her hands slid down naturally, and she also hugged Lucas.
"Hmm, a few more Spider-Men have appeared in New York recently. I plan to investigate tonight and see what's going on."
"A few Spider-Men?" Lucas wondered, "Is it Miguel's Web Slingers?"
Gwen shook her head and suggested, "I'm not sure. How about we go investigate together?"
Lucas nodded in agreement. "Okay."
After he finished speaking, a surge of energy flowed through him, changing him into a plain white robe.
Sorcerer Spider-Man, back in action.
Leaving home, Gwen swung on webs, traveling through the city above.
Lucas, meanwhile, floated using magic, following behind her.
Just now, he had already swept the entire New York with his mental power, locating the other Spider-Men. But Gwen was enthusiastically looking for people, so he didn't spoil it.
But these Spider-Men... why do they seem to be looking for him?
...
In an abandoned warehouse at a pier, four Spider-Men were sitting in a circle.
They were Spider-UK, Spider-Man Noir, Peni, and Spider-Ham.
Spider-UK was the first to ask, "Are you sure Sorcerer Spider-Man and Ghost-Spider are both in this Universe?
"From the information gathered these past few days, this world only has Ghost-Spider."
Peni replied, "Didn't Miles say he saw Sorcerer Spider-Man and Ghost-Spider enter the same quantum channel?"
Spider-Man Noir added, "Sorcerer Spider-Man and Ghost-Spider obviously know each other. Find Ghost-Spider, and you'll find Sorcerer Spider-Man."
Spider-UK nodded. "Then let's continue tonight, first find Ghost-Spider."
"Hello, are you looking for me?" A portal opened, and Lucas walked out with Gwen.
Since he knew these Spider-Men were looking for him, there was no need to play around.
As the Spider-Men met, their Spider-Sense triggered simultaneously.
Spider-UK looked at Lucas in confusion.
Why didn't this Sorcerer Spider-Man have Spider-Sense?
Lucas activated the spider totem fragment, also triggering his Spider-Sense.
Before Lucas could speak, Spider-Ham explained for him, "He's Sorcerer Spider-Man, he has a way to block Spider-Sense."
Is that so?
Spider-UK looked at Lucas suspiciously, not delving deeper.
In fact, if Lucas wasn't a Spider-Man, that would be even better.
"You still haven't answered my question." Lucas reminded him.
"We came to see you and Ghost-Spider." The four Spider-Men said in unison.
The group exchanged glances, finally choosing Spider-UK to explain their purpose on behalf of everyone.
"We hope you can join the Web Slingers and fight against the Inheritors together."
Gwen asked, puzzled, "The Inheritors? What's that?"
Spider-UK explained, "The Inheritors originated from the Leech totem. They can devour the power of all animal totems, especially favoring the spider totem. They are totem terminators and the greatest enemies of Spider-Man."
"They possess physical abilities far superior to Spider-Men's and extremely powerful regenerative capabilities."
"And now, the Inheritors are traveling through various Universes, hunting and preying on Spider-Men."
As Spider-UK's words fell, the Spider-Men present all grew solemn.
A group that specifically hunts Spider-Men in the Multiverse...
The thought alone made them feel terrified.
Lucas patted Gwen's shoulder, comforting her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Then, he looked at the Spider-Men and asked, "So, do you have any leads on the Inheritors?"
The Inheritors reminded Lucas of something.
Cloning technology!
The Inheritors possessed quite mature cloning technology, which could be used to solve the problem of Matt's body being destroyed.
Spider-UK shook his head with a solemn expression. "No."
"Then why are you looking for me and Gwen?" Lucas asked curiously.
Spider-UK explained, "Some time ago, a branch of the Web Slingers was attacked, and many Spider-Men were killed or injured."
"More importantly, some data was leaked. Among it, there was data on Earth-65. It's no longer safe here, the Inheritors could come at any time."
Lucas smiled.
Wasn't this just perfect timing?
"You are...?"
"Spider-UK."
"Spider-UK, have you never thought about fighting back against the Inheritors? We can ambush them here."
"Sorcerer Spider-Man."
Spider-UK said seriously, "The power of the Inheritors has a great restraining effect on us, we must be cautious when fighting them."
"I know you are a very powerful Spider-Man, but don't be careless."
"Among the Inheritors, there are also extremely powerful beings. Such as their patriarch Solus, and his son Morlun."
Lucas smiled. "Powerful and powerful, sometimes they are not the same, Spider-UK."
