2099's frenzied roars echoed incessantly in the empty underground space.
Listening to the incessant curses from his mouth, the hundreds of Spider-Men present looked at each other, momentarily at a loss.
After all that, it seems this leader is also a victim?
While the group was feeling lost due to 2099's madness, Peter couldn't stand it anymore.
The Little Spiders are good in every way, but this indecisive personality of theirs really makes one's blood pressure soar.
*Slap!*
With a heavy slap from Peter, the World went quiet.
"I'm sorry to tell you, but my tolerance for Riddlers is zero."
Peter looked down from above at 2099, whose face was covered in tears and snot, and spoke bluntly:
"I'll give you three seconds to tell me everything you know."
"Tell me, who told you that bullshit?"
"Who told you that destroying the so-called 'Web Event' would cause the Universe to completely collapse?"
"Otherwise..."
At this point, Peter switched to Symbiote mode, splitting a hideous and terrifying Symbiote face from the side of his head and saying:
"I'll make you talk in my own way!"
2099, delirious like a defeated dog, looked up at Peter. There was no hatred in his eyes; instead, they were brighter than ever.
At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind: revenge!
And Peter was clearly the one most likely to kill the bastard who had deceived him!
There was essentially no conflict between 2099 and Peter. Therefore, once 2099 realized Peter wasn't a threat, all his hatred naturally shifted to that person.
"I'll talk!"
2099 spoke without any hesitation, the flames of revenge dancing in his eyes:
"That guy's name is... Superior Spider-Man!"
"He was the one who sent me to that collapsing Universe so I could replace the version of me that had died there!"
"He was also the one who appeared before me after that Universe collapsed, telling me that it looked like our experiment had failed."
"To save more of us from suffering, he said I should form a Spider Alliance to prevent more Universes from collapsing..."
As 2099 told his story, everyone gradually came to understand all of his experiences.
2099 was born in a future Universe where technology was highly advanced but incredibly dark, with far more supervillains than superheroes.
There, although he was Spider-Man, he was powerless against the endless evil and couldn't find the meaning of his existence.
While he was in a daze, Superior Spider-Man appeared out of thin air and told him that place was beyond saving.
He asked if he was willing to go to another Universe to experience a different life.
2099, who wasn't living comfortably in his own Universe, agreed.
He became the other's test subject and was sent to another Universe.
And then... it was the content he had mentioned before... Superior Spider-Man?
When this name was mentioned, all the Spider-Men except for Peter were completely bewildered.
Which corner did this Spider-Man pop out from? The title sounds quite intimidating.
Even the veterans, including Spider-Punk, had looks of confusion on their faces.
Although they had traveled through many Universes, they had never heard of any Spider-Man arrogant enough to call himself 'Superior Spider-Man'.
Only Peter had a subtle look of realization in his eyes the moment he heard the name, and his gaze involuntarily flickered toward Dr. Otto, who was watching from the sidelines.
Because this guy... or rather, his variant in another Universe, was the Superior Spider-Man 2099 spoke of!
Before transmigrating, Peter knew very little about Marvel's comic plots, but due to his love for the Spider-Man IP, he had more or less come across some famous major events and bad plotlines in the comics.
Superior Spider-Man, or 'Otto Parker,' comes from 'Death of Spider-Man'.
In this story, Dr. Otto developed a'sci-fi' device capable of soul swapping before his death.
Using this device, he successfully imprisoned the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man's soul in his dying body and successfully murdered his own body and the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man's soul.
In this way, he managed to take over everything Peter owned!
Because he possessed all of the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man's abilities, as well as Doctor Octopus's lack of boundaries and super-intelligence, he called himself 'Superior Spider-Man,' aiming to surpass the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and become a better Spider-Man.
If it was this guy, it wasn't surprising that an idiot like 2099 would be played like a fiddle.
With 2099's IQ, how could he possibly compete with a fusion of Doctor Octopus and the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man!
Furthermore, with his condescending personality and contempt for everyone else, it seemed he really would do something as wicked as wanting to 'toy' with other Spider-Men.
Peter had already basically accepted that what 2099 was saying now was the truth.
However... "I lied. Even if you spoke up voluntarily, I'm going to verify for myself whether you're lying or not!"
As he spoke, a Symbiote spike pierced into 2099's brain and began reading his memories.
This crude and violent method made the surrounding Spider-Men involuntarily gasp.
They thought to themselves, no wonder the hundred of us combined were no match for him. These 'good boys' couldn't even imagine doing something so duplicitous and ruthless!
Just as someone felt Peter's behavior might be too brutal and wanted to stop him...
Peter had already withdrawn his Symbiote spike.
At the same time, the Spider-Men discovered that 2099, whose memories had been read, had not died.
On the contrary, not only was he alive and well, but even the scars on his body had healed significantly.
Clearly, while reading this guy's memories, Peter had also helped repair some of his fatal injuries.
However, while he was spared the death penalty, he wouldn't escape punishment.
This guy shouldn't dream of returning to his peak state without pain.
Furthermore, as punishment, Peter would never let him achieve the perfect ending of taking revenge on Superior Spider-Man with his own hands.
He was destined to only watch as his enemy was defeated by Peter, powerless to do anything.
Huh, thinking about it this way, isn't this also a form of NTR?
"Fine, since you didn't lie, I'll spare your life."
"As for you all..."
At this point, Peter turned to the group of Little Spiders and said:
"I'm planning to find that Superior Spider-Man guy and get some answers to see what he's really up to. Do you want to come along?"
As soon as he said this, the crowd instantly became impassioned.
They had all been screwed over by that bullshit Superior Spider-Man!
How could they be satisfied without seeing what that guy's goal was and giving him a harsh lesson!
"Do you even need to ask!"
"I can't wait to give that guy a beating!"
"Count me in, count me in!"
Looking at the impassioned Little Spiders around him, Peter couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
"Very well. In that case, everyone, listen to my command!"
"Spider Alliance, move out!"
