Restart, Spider-Man!

"Hey, buddy, you're Spider-Man too?"

Under the watchful gaze of countless onlookers, a red-and-blue figure swung through the air, holding Xia Luo with one arm while curiously eyeing the tattered golden suit Xia Luo was wearing.

Xia Luo didn't answer. He glanced toward Wanda, who was peeking out from a rooftop, then raised his hand and shot a web, soaring upward.

"Wait up!"

Seeing Xia Luo vanish swiftly among the skyscrapers, the Spider-Man of this world tried to catch up.

But Xia Luo's speed was astonishingly fast—so fast that before the Spider-Man could react, Xia Luo had already disappeared from sight.

"Wow, his web-swinging technique is so graceful."

Spider-Man landed on the glass facade of a tall building and scratched his head in confusion.

"But how is his web staying in mid-air? Is someone holding it on the other side?"

He shook his head as he noticed strange scarlet energy surging into the sky.

"Something's off here. Never mind, I need to get to the hospital first."

Setting aside his doubts, Peter Parker leaped from the building, firing webs as he navigated through the city.

Before long, he arrived at Midtown Manhattan Hospital.

In a quiet corner, Peter Parker shoved his Spider-Man suit into his backpack and jogged toward Aunt May's hospital room.

"Peter, you're here."

Mary Jane was sitting by the bed. The dark circles under her eyes betrayed her sleepless nights.

Seeing her haggard appearance, Peter forced a faint smile.

"Sorry, it's been hard on you these past few days."

Mary Jane shook her head. "It's okay. Have you handled everything?"

"It's taken care of."

Peter sat beside Aunt May's bed, gently holding her hand.

"I caught the guy responsible, but…"

His face filled with guilt. "If I hadn't dodged that bullet, Aunt May wouldn't be…"

Mary Jane placed a comforting hand on Peter's shoulder.

"It's not your fault."

"But…"

Peter lowered his head, his voice trembling. "That bullet wouldn't have killed me, but it might kill Aunt May.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have dodged."

His voice grew softer, and his hands holding Aunt May's trembled.

Just then, the doctor entered the room.

"Have you prepared the surgery fees? She can't hold on much longer."

Peter turned around quickly. "Please, just give me a little more time. I promise I'll find the money," he pleaded.

The doctor shook his head. "I'm sorry. Even if you gather the funds, the bullet near her heart is in a very precarious spot. My suggestion is…"

"No! I'll get the money for Aunt May's surgery. She can't die—she's my only family left."

Peter looked deeply at Aunt May's pale face, then turned to the doctor. "Please schedule the surgery immediately."

The doctor thought for a moment. "We can begin in an hour, but you must pay the fees first. If you miss this window, her chances of survival drop significantly."

"Understood. I'll handle it."

Peter took a deep breath, gently released Aunt May's hand, and stood up.

Mary Jane's face was full of worry. "Peter, we don't have enough money for this surgery."

"I'll go find Mr. Stark. He'll help me—I know he will."

This was Peter's last hope.

However, given what had happened before, he didn't have much confidence.

As the doctor left, Peter donned his suit and leapt out of the window. Before long, he reached Stark Tower.

By the poolside garden, Tony Stark was staring intently at two figures on a holographic screen, his expression grim.

"Mr. Stark—"

Peter had barely spoken when Tony frowned. "Don't interrupt me. Our relationship is over."

"No, Mr. Stark, please listen to me!"

Peter rushed to explain, but Tony waved him off impatiently.

He turned to leave. "There's nothing left to say between us."

"Wait."

Peter blocked his path. "Aunt May was shot. I need your help."

Hearing this, Tony's expression wavered slightly, but he still refused without hesitation.

"The great superhero Spider-Man—aren't you supposed to be invincible?"

He scoffed coldly. "I'm just a washed-up government puppet. There's nothing I can do for you."

"No, you can. I just need money for her surgery."

"That's your problem, not mine."

"Please, I'm begging you. Aunt May's dying."

Seeing Peter's desperation, Tony's heart softened despite himself.

His tone eased slightly. "Fine, I'll help you—but only if you sign the Sokovia Accords. Superheroes must be placed under government oversight."

Upon hearing Tony's ultimatum, Peter Parker hesitated.

"Mr. Stark, even if I sign the Accords, you know I don't truly agree with them…"

"Signing the Accords means abiding by them," Tony replied firmly. "You were there for the Ultron incident. You know the catastrophic disasters unregulated superheroes can cause."

"This agreement is necessary—it prevents superheroes from spiraling out of control."

"I understand why Steve doesn't support it, but you, Spider-Man—Peter Parker—we were such good friends. And yet you chose Steve's side. You stood against me. Do you think I can still help you after that?"

Peter lowered his head, his face full of guilt.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Stark. I still believe the Accords are a trap—a way for them to control us and turn us into tools. If they have that kind of power, more innocent people will get hurt. That's how I see it. I never meant to oppose you."

Tony's tone grew colder. "Trap or not, that's for me to decide."

"Here's the deal: You have two choices. Sign the Accords, and I'll cover Aunt May's surgery costs."

"Or refuse—and let her die in that hospital."

"I…"

Peter's heart twisted in torment. He briefly considered signing the Accords and going back on his word later, but he couldn't bring himself to deceive Mr. Stark—not the man he saw as a father figure.

Tony, seeing Peter's indecision, turned his back without hesitation.

"If you've made your decision, then leave," he said, pausing mid-step to glance over his shoulder. "If you had signed the Accords from the beginning, that guy wouldn't have had the chance to fire that bullet. Aunt May wouldn't have been hurt. This is all on you."

"No… that's not true," Peter stammered, his steps faltering. His face went pale.

"I just…"

He didn't know how to explain.

With great power comes great responsibility.

Uncle Ben's words echoed in his mind. Peter had taken them to heart, always stepping up to protect others in the face of evil.

But Aunt May had been shot because of it.

Had he done something wrong?

Uncle Ben wouldn't think so. Aunt May wouldn't either.

Because he was Spider-Man, and this was his duty.

Yet, now he was beginning to doubt himself.

If being a hero meant losing his loved ones, he couldn't bear it.

But there wasn't time to dwell on this.

Mr. Stark wouldn't help him. He would have to turn to someone else.

Peter Parker left the tower.

Tony stood by the coffee machine, absentmindedly grinding beans. His thoughts were a mess.

He felt conflicted.

He wanted to help Peter—to save Aunt May. After all, he had long regarded Peter as a son.

But his son should be on his side, helping him perfect the world security system he had built.

Instead, Peter had betrayed him. Peter had joined Steve's camp.

The betrayal stung, and Tony wanted Peter to pay the price for it.

"No, I shouldn't think this way," Tony muttered, suddenly snapping out of his thoughts. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

At that moment, Pepper wrapped her arms around him from behind.

"Tony, stop agonizing over this. Peter needs you," she said gently.

Tony clenched his jaw. "But he betrayed me."

Pepper sighed. "He just didn't want to betray himself."

Tony flinched.

"Didn't want to betray himself…"

Finally, the scales in his heart began to tip.

Memories of better times with Peter flashed in his mind. He instinctively looked at the photo on his desk—a photo of Peter, smiling so brightly.

If Aunt May died, he would never see that smile again.

And the guilt would haunt him for the rest of his life.

This wasn't the time for prideful stubbornness.

"Honestly, I don't want to lose him as a friend. And I don't want him to lose Aunt May."

Seeing that Tony had made his decision, Pepper smiled softly.

"So, what are you waiting for?"

"Thank you, my beautiful Ms. Potts," Tony said with a wave of his hand.

"Happy, transfer the surgery funds to Peter's account."

"Understood."

The room's AI system immediately sprang into action.

After J.A.R.V.I.S. had been consumed by Ultron, Tony had created a new AI: Happy.

Because it was the name of a deceased friend.

A friend who had always worn a smile, walking beside him through many years of trials.

Lost in thought for a moment, Tony seemed to realize something.

"Happy, keep monitoring those two."

"Understood."

The holographic display lit up before him.

On the New York coast, scarlet energy and golden light clashed violently, their collisions stirring massive tidal waves. The sheer force was terrifying.

"The golden Spider-Man and that strange, terrifying woman."

Pepper was stunned by the sight.

Covering her mouth in shock, she exclaimed, "They're horrifying. If they keep fighting near the city, they'll destroy everything."

A look of grim determination flashed across Tony's face. "Notify S.H.I.E.L.D. We have to stop this disaster."

"You can't fight them. They're too powerful."

Pepper clung to Tony tightly. "Find Thor. Only a god can stop them."

"Thor's gone. We can't reach him," Tony said with a helpless expression.

Pepper looked increasingly uneasy. "They'll leave on their own… right?"

"Not necessarily."

As Tony finished speaking, the golden light abruptly disappeared, and the scarlet energy dissipated along with it.

"They've left."

Tony straightened up, a spark of relief lighting his face. "Happy, conduct a global search for their whereabouts."

"Understood, sir."

Half an hour later, Happy reported back. "Sorry, sir, I couldn't locate them."

Before Tony could let out a sigh of relief, Happy continued.

"Wait. I've found something—Spider-Man."

"Peter?"

Tony frowned. "What happened to him?"

"Sir, there are multiple Spider-Men appearing across New York."

"What?"

Tony was stunned.

Thirty Minutes Earlier

Traveling across one multiverse after another, Xia Luo still couldn't shake Wanda's relentless pursuit.

In an endless desert, golden light streaked down at an angle.

Boom!

The desert quaked violently as scarlet energy enveloped the area, spreading like a tidal wave.

Chaotic magic surged, and one massive sand giant after another formed within the scarlet zone.

Boom!

The sand giants surrounded Xia Luo, trapping him in the crimson expanse. Wanda landed gracefully on the shoulder of the lead giant.

"You can't escape."

Xia Luo covered his face, groaning. "If you gave me the time, I might've already found a universe suitable for you."

Wanda's hair whipped in the wind, her expression colder than ever.

"Then it's you who's wasting our time."

"Damn it!"

Xia Luo finally lost his temper and shouted.

"You're insane! Let me warn you—making an Invincible Spider-Man angry never ends well. So you'd better lift this ridiculous tracking spell, and I might just forgive you."

Wanda sneered. "Pathetic little bug. The only way you'll escape me is if you die."

"Fine! I'll die right now!"

Xia Luo reached into his suit and pulled out a strange box.

It was a trophy he had won after defeating Apocalypse—a time-travel device from the Time Variance Authority.

Click!

Buzz…

Xia Luo casually pressed the box, and a golden portal blossomed into existence.

In an instant, the TVA locked onto Xia Luo's location. Armed personnel wielding batons began to emerge from the portal.

"Apocalypse, you are surrounded—wait, Spider-Man? The golden one?"

The lead soldier paused, staring at Xia Luo in confusion.

Suddenly, a realization seemed to dawn on him.

"It's Xia Luo Parker! Spider-Man of the central universe!"

His words caused the soldiers to exchange nervous glances and whisper among themselves.

Wanda, watching this unfold, frowned.

Who were these people?

Did they also have devices capable of traversing universes?

Her gaze fell on the box in their hands, and the scarlet glow in her eyes flared brightly.

"You seem far easier to deal with than Spider-Man."

She smiled coldly.

Before she could unleash her chaotic magic to seize the box, the lead soldier abruptly pulled out a handful of brightly colored stones.

The group quickly divided the stones among themselves, attaching them to their weapons.

"This individual is an SSS-level threat. Permission granted to use the Infinity Stones."

Xia Luo: "!!!!!"

His face lit up with a strange mix of relief and excitement. "Quick! Kill me, the time-manipulating fugitive!"

Zap!

A purple beam shot from the soldier's baton, slamming into Xia Luo and hurling him through a sand giant.

Simultaneously, the other soldiers pointed their batons at Wanda.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Beams of various colors collided with the scarlet energy, unleashing explosive bursts of power.

At first, Wanda was caught off guard, but she quickly realized something was off about these Infinity Stones.

On the other side, Xia Luo crawled out of the swirling sand.

Looking down at the faint purple energy lingering on his chest, he scratched his head.

"Am I really this strong now? Even the Infinity Stones can't kill me?"

Xia Luo rubbed his aching chest, a faint realization dawning on him.

The Time Variance Authority (TVA) indeed had a drawer full of Infinity Stones.

But Infinity Stones only worked in their home universe.

The stones the soldiers wielded came from other universes. At best, they could activate the raw energy contained within the stones to generate impressive destructive power.

But to use these foreign Infinity Stones to kill Xia Luo? That was a stretch.

Unless the soldiers could acquire this universe's Infinity Stones, or like Ultron with all six stones, break through the barriers between universes and carry the governing laws of their original universe, their threat was limited.

Realizing this, Xia Luo abandoned any thoughts of collecting those Infinity Stones.

On the other side, as Wanda recovered her composure, scarlet energy surged outward, engulfing the soldiers in chaotic magic. One by one, they were petrified, unable to resist.

As Wanda prepared to seize the trans-dimensional devices from the petrified soldiers, another golden portal bloomed into existence.

Buzz…

A flash of light froze Wanda mid-air, locking her in place.

In the distance, Xia Luo stood completely unaffected.

"Time-stopping tech, huh?" he muttered, rubbing his hands together like a scheming fly.

Through the golden portal emerged a second group of soldiers, their equipment significantly more advanced than the first.

This time, they were equipped with temporal devices capable of freezing time within a defined radius.

The soldiers examined the immobilized Wanda before tapping devices on their wrists.

"Confirmed: Wanda Maximoff from Universe 199999. Proceeding with pruning."

Before they could retrieve their pruning equipment, the scarlet glow in Wanda's eyes flashed.

Boom!

Chaos magic erupted, spreading uncontrollably and devouring everything around it.

"No!!"

The soldiers' faces contorted in panic as they screamed and attempted to flee.

Although they activated their temporal devices, the overwhelming chaos magic overpowered them.

"Damn it! The chaos magic of this universe has a higher priority level! Run!!"

"Ugh, aahhh!!"

As one soldier after another was swallowed by the scarlet energy, the last remaining soldier fell to the ground, helplessly watching the magic surge toward him.

"No!!"

With a final scream, a golden light flickered, whisking him away just in time.

---

On the other side of the globe, in a remote mountain range, Xia Luo dropped the rescued soldier onto the ground, glaring at him.

"Hey, buddy, keep your hands to yourself," Xia Luo said sternly.

"I could report you for harassment."

The soldier, realizing he was no longer in danger, exhaled deeply.

"Thank you, Spider-Man."

Removing his helmet revealed a familiar face.

"Jenny?"

Xia Luo's expression turned peculiar. It was one of his annoying former classmates.

Jenny wiped the sweat from his forehead. "You know me?"

"Something like that."

"Great, Mr. Spider-Man," Jenny began, fiddling with his weapon. "Can I arrest you now?"

Xia Luo's eye twitched. "Answer a question first: why didn't the temporal device work on Wanda?"

Jenny shrugged. "Ever since the big boss died, the temporal devices have been unable to override the fundamental laws of certain universes."

"Against some powerful governing forces—like chaos magic—the devices don't always work."

Xia Luo nodded thoughtfully and slapped the pruning device out of Jenny's hand.

Jenny: "…"

This Spider-Man is insufferable.

"Next question: how do you know about me?" Xia Luo pressed.

Jenny, still searching for a functional weapon, replied, "Same reason. Since the big boss died, the TVA has lost regulatory control over many universes, including yours."

"But because you frequently cross into other universes, we've gathered plenty of intel on you."

"Xia Luo Parker—a highly dangerous Spider-Man variant, seemingly protected by some unknown force that makes you untraceable and unkillable."

"Found it!"

Jenny triumphantly pulled an Infinity Stone from his pocket, grinning.

"But we can still capture you."

"Really?"

Xia Luo casually snatched the Infinity Stone and examined it under the sunlight.

"The Power Stone, huh? Polish this up, and it could make a decent engagement ring… Wait, what am I thinking?"

Shaking his head, Xia Luo tossed the stone aside and continued, "Let me guess: since your big boss died, the multiverse has been in chaos, and the sacred timeline is a total mess."

He glanced at Jenny, who was scrambling to retrieve the Power Stone. "Any universes collapsed yet?"

Dusting off the stone, Jenny shook his head. "No. Honestly, most of us think the big boss lied to us."

"But there's nothing we can do. We're stuck at the TVA, following the rules he left behind."

As Jenny reattached the Power Stone to his baton, Xia Luo knocked it loose again.

Jenny: "…"

He's even worse than Peter.

Xia Luo patted Jenny's shoulder with a grin. "Sounds like a sad story. Want to work as an undercover agent for me?"

Jenny swatted Xia Luo's hand away, snorting. "The TVA doesn't allow it. Breaking the rules means erasure."

"But your job is meaningless."

"I know, but rules are rules. They're unchangeable."

Watching Jenny fumble for another weapon, Xia Luo shrugged.

"Alright, need a ride back?" he offered, feigning kindness.

Jenny glanced nervously at the scarlet clouds gathering above, his cheeks twitching.

"Do I even have a choice?"

Xia Luo noticed Wanda's silhouette appearing in the distance and frowned.

"She's got the trans-dimensional device now. Why is she still chasing me?"

"Because this time, the devices were password-protected," Jenny explained.

Xia Luo: "???"

Jenny spread his hands. "We've had too many stolen lately, so now every device has a password."

"What's the password?" Wanda appeared behind Jenny, her expression cold.

"I'm not telling you."

Scarlet energy consumed Jenny instantly, scattering him into countless fragments.

Xia Luo hesitated. "We could've talked this out, you know."

Wanda fixed her icy gaze on Xia Luo. "You're all I need."

"Married women should be more reserved! That sounded way too suggestive," Xia Luo quipped, stepping back cautiously.

"Don't push me, or… or I'll die right here!" He dramatically dragged his finger across his throat.

He couldn't win.

He couldn't escape.

What else could he do but threaten to die?

Seeing this, Wanda's entire demeanor grew even colder.

"I'm out of patience."

"Let me tell you a secret—whether you live or die doesn't matter to me in the slightest."

"If it weren't for Steve, I would have…"

Before she could finish, Xia Luo bolted, disappearing into a burst of golden light.

The Spider-Man Central Universe

Kamar-Taj

"Supreme Sorcerer, help! Ahhhhhh!"

Xia Luo burst into Kamar-Taj, shouting loudly, only to stop in his tracks when he saw Wanda dutifully sweeping the floor.

"Hey, long time no see," he greeted awkwardly, raising a hand in a half-wave.

This Wanda was not the same Wanda.

She was a younger, teenage version of Wanda.

One word: run.

Teen Wanda glanced at Xia Luo. "The Ancient One doesn't see visitors."

"She knew I'd come to her?" Xia Luo's face darkened.

Hugging her broom, Wanda squinted at him with a smile. "What do you think?"

"Then why are you here?"

"I got interested in magic, so Wong recommended I come here to learn."

"Did you learn anything?"

"Learn what?"

"Magic. Like chaos magic—or, I don't know, wonton magic?"

"No."

As soon as she spoke, a torrent of scarlet energy suddenly materialized from the void.

"What?!"

The moment the Scarlet Witch appeared, emanating an overwhelming aura, Teen Wanda's expression changed. The scarlet energy within her began to surge uncontrollably.

Under the influence of the Scarlet Witch's power, Teen Wanda's latent abilities were fully unleashed.

In an instant, as the two Wandas confronted each other, two of the universe's most terrifying forces began to collide.

The clash warped reality itself, and the golden emblem on Xia Luo's chest—the small spider insignia—cracked and shattered.

"My spider!" Xia Luo cradled the golden fragments, tears streaming down his face.

"My spider, my spider! What's wrong, my spider? You can't die! We've been through thick and thin for so many years. I raised you as if you were my own child, and now, to bury you… this is too cruel!"

As his Spider-Man suit was completely torn apart, Teen Wanda, black-faced, snapped, "Can you be serious for a second? I think something's wrong with my body!"

Xia Luo, whose skin was beginning to tear apart, gritted his teeth. "You're fine. I'm the one with the problem."

"What?"

"It hurts! It hurts so much!!"

Prompted by Xia Luo's outburst, Teen Wanda finally let go of her remaining restraints, allowing the chaos magic inside her to surge unchecked.

Boom!

Scarlet energy erupted, and the two Wandas floated into the air, their chaos magic growing even more intense.

Soon, the scarlet wave engulfed all of Kamar-Taj.

Yet, despite the commotion, not a single sorcerer emerged to intervene.

---

Atop a distant peak, the Ancient One and her sorcerers silently observed the destruction.

"Supreme Sorcerer, is Spider-Man about to die again?" Wong sighed.

The Ancient One smiled faintly. "Yes, he's about to die at the hands of a woman once more."

Wong's face twitched. "He'll learn his lesson next time, won't he?"

"What do you think?"

The Ancient One's smile turned enigmatic as she watched the structures below being torn apart by chaos magic. For a moment, she was tempted.

If she intervened now, she might finally retire in peace.

But angering that woman would doom her disciples—none of them would survive.

Better to leave it be.

After all, if Xia Luo Parker kept causing trouble, there would be plenty of opportunities to retire later.

It was unclear how much time passed.

As the scarlet energy gradually subsided, the Ancient One finally acted.

She opened a portal. "Come on, let's see how the girl is doing."

"Supreme Sorcerer, that woman is terrifying. Shouldn't we wait?" Wong suggested cautiously.

The Ancient One shook her head. "No need. She's calm now."

With that, she stepped through the portal, arriving at the ruins.

In the middle of the devastation, Pietro stood protectively in front of the unconscious Teen Wanda.

Despite his fear of the older, more mature Scarlet Witch standing before him, he refused to abandon his sister.

"You! Don't you dare hurt Wanda!"

The young man's courage seemed to strike a chord with the Scarlet Witch.

She stared at him blankly, her eyes welling with tears of blood.

"To see you again… it's so good."

"What?" Pietro frowned.

For some reason, he felt a strange sense of familiarity toward this woman.

Could she be a Skrull?

---

"Dead! Finally dead!"

Xia Luo stood triumphantly with his hands on his hips, laughing maniacally. "Hahaha! To think someone managed to kill the Invincible Spider-Man! Woman, you've truly caught Spider-Man's attention."

The Wanda incident had given him a profound respect for the overwhelming power of chaos magic.

Truly one of the most terrifying forces in the universe.

Spider-Man couldn't compete.

But Spider-Man would never stop trying.

Yes, he would keep trying—by relying on cheats.

Let her be strong; the spider will still rise from the grave.

With that thought, Xia Luo prepared himself for yet another revival round.

[System Prompt]

You have received an invitation to the Revival Match!

You have entered the revival arena.

Scene: Spider-Man Multiverse.

Mission Event: Spider-Man – The Last Remaining Day.

Primary Objective: Save Aunt May.

Task Description: To gather the exorbitant medical fees needed to save Aunt May, who was gravely injured by a gunshot, Peter Parker approaches the man he once regarded as a father figure—Iron Man, Tony Stark.

Mission Reward: One revival slot.

Bonus Reward: Aunt May's Smile (severs the Web of Fate's connection to "Aunt May," permanently ending her destined death).

Contestants: Xia Luo Parker, Ben Parker x9, May Parker x9, Peter Parker x99.

Reset Count: 89.

Time Until Mission Begins: 30 seconds.

Time Until Mission Ends: 24 hours.

Standing atop the Empire State Building, Xia Luo stared at the listed bonus reward, trembling with excitement.

"Sever the Web of Fate's connection… This means…"

Clenching his fists, his eyes gleamed with determination.

This time, his opponents were 99 other Spider-Men, and none of them would give up on the bonus reward.

If he could secure Aunt May's Smile, he would no longer have to worry about Aunt May losing her life because of him.

This reward was more precious than anything else.

So—

Dying for this? Totally worth it.

"Charge!!"

As soon as the countdown ended, Xia Luo wasted no time opening a portal.

Buzz—

Bang!!

Before Xia Luo could step through the swirling portal, a red-and-blue figure in a cape crashed into him with incredible force.

"Oh, crap! Get out of the way!"

The sudden impact made Xia Luo reflexively swat at the intruder.

Smack!

With one swift motion, he sent the strange Spider-Man flying, causing the magical portal to twist and fizzle out of existence.

"Hmm?"

Xia Luo turned to the fallen Spider-Man, who lay on the ground twitching. His expression turned strange.

"Supreme Sorcerer? Spider-Man?" He twitched at the corners of his mouth.

"Hey, I'm Peter Parker. Are you a Supreme Sorcerer too?"

The downed Spider-Man quickly sat up, looking at Xia Luo with wide-eyed curiosity.

Xia Luo had no patience for this nonsense. He was a man on a mission to conquer the revival match.

Buzz—

Without wasting a second, he opened another portal, only to feel his body suddenly freeze.

Looking down, he realized he was now ensnared by magical webbing.

"Sorry, but Aunt May's Smile is mine," the cloaked Spider-Man said, standing up with an apologetic expression.

"I know you're doing this for Aunt May too, but I have no choice. As your competitor, this is the only way."

With that, he leapt through the portal Xia Luo had just opened.

Xia Luo: "…"

A deep sense of foreboding washed over him.

These 99 Peter Parkers might be even harder to deal with than the Spider Society's 100 Spider-Men.
