Second Resurrection Match

At the top of the Empire State Building, beneath the antenna tower.

Xia Luo felt a warm current surge through the glands in his wrists. From there, the web fluid slowly flowed into his palms, forming a blazing red, high-heat web ball over ten painstaking seconds.

Staring at the pulsating red orb in his hand, Xia Luo's mouth twitched.

Are they seriously turning Spider-Man into a Super Saiyan?

But this speed... it's way too slow.

Shaking his head, Xia Luo brushed aside this obviously flawed skill design.

This match's Spider-Men were quite different from those he'd encountered before. Many were strong and formidable, presenting a level of challenge that was difficult—but not impossible—for him to handle.

What truly tripped him up, though, was Mary Jane's erratic maneuvering, which left him unconscious.

After that, he had no awareness of what occurred.

Perhaps other Spider-Men finished him off, but it seemed more likely that a contestant had completed their task, resulting in Xia Luo's elimination.

He leaned toward the second theory. After all, Spider-Men don't kill.

As his thoughts whirled, the countdown ended.

Before the Supreme Spider-Man could react, Xia Luo opened a portal.

Buzz~

With a leap, Xia Luo jumped into it.

On the other side of the portal, he barely emerged when he felt someone grab him from behind.

"Damn it," Xia Luo muttered, realizing he was just a step too slow.

As he prepared to rely on his strength to break free, the spider totem on his chest began glowing wildly, and his Spider-Sense blared in warning.

Buzz~

Thud!

A surge of interference from another Spider-Man's magic caused the portal's fiery ring to flicker erratically before abruptly shutting. A severed head tumbled to the floor of a hospital room, rolling to a stop.

Mary Jane: "???"

The woman, who had been keeping watch by the bedside, screamed in sheer terror.

"Peter!!!"

She dashed toward Xia Luo's head.

At that moment, the door burst open, and the real Peter Parker stormed in.

"Mary Jane! Mr. Stark wired me the mo—oh no, what is this?!"

Peter's cheerful smile froze as he caught sight of the disembodied head.

Third Resurrection Match

"Argh! What a miserable death!"

Under the antenna tower, Xia Luo clutched his head in frustration.

Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine dying inside a portal.

The Supreme Sorcerer Spider-Man's mastery of magic is something a rookie like me can't even hope to compare to.

This time, he resolved to play it safe and stick to straightforward travel.

When the countdown ended, Xia Luo immediately switched to his electric arc form and shot skyward.

Zzzt!

"Whoa! It's Spider-Man!"

"Peter Parker... no, so many Peter Parkers!"

Onlookers gasped and screamed, staring wide-eyed as one Spider-Man after another swung through the skies above them.

---

Meanwhile, at Stark Tower, Tony Stark stared at the monitors, his face frozen in shock as he watched the screen fill with Spider-Men flooding the city.

"Peter... is this some illusion from Mysterio, or have you split into a thousand pieces?" Pepper Potts asked, her voice trembling with unease.

Happy Hogan chimed in, "Given their varied suit designs, there's a 99% chance they're not the real Spider-Man."

"Regardless of who or what they are, we need to figure out their objective."

Tony clicked through the feeds with grim determination until he reached a conclusion.

"They're heading for the hospital," he said thoughtfully.

Pepper's eyes widened. "It's May! They're after May in the hospital!"

"Notify Natasha. Have her deploy a team to secure the hospital," Tony ordered as he donned his armor. "I'm heading over there."

"Wait, Tony! There are too many Spider-Men—it's dangerous!"

Pepper tried to dissuade him, but Tony's gaze was resolute.

"I drafted the Sokovia Accords. These guys might also be Spider-Men, but they're causing chaos, and if superheroes create disasters, it's my responsibility to clean it up. I have to go."

"But—"

"Lovely Pepper Potts," he said with a soft smile, "wait for me. When I'm back, I'll make sure to apprehend these miscreants trying to dismantle our global security."

With that, his Mark suit shot into the sky, vanishing into the horizon.

Elsewhere, as expected, Xia Luo encountered resistance from the Spider-Men.

Creak—

A hulking, muscle-bound Spider-Man hefted a car and hurled it at Xia Luo.

Zzzt!

Xia Luo, unfazed, soared into the air, ignoring the incoming vehicle.

Boom!

"No! My car! I just took out a loan for it!" The owner wailed, tears streaming down his face as the explosion shattered his hopes.

High above, more Spider-Men glided in, their webs crisscrossing to entangle Xia Luo.

But before the webbing could enclose him, a crimson beam of energy sliced through the sky, cutting down Spider-Men mid-swing. One by one, battered red-and-blue figures plummeted to the ground.

This time, Xia Luo wasn't holding back.

"Dear God! Spider-Man's gone mad!"

"No, that's not Peter Parker."

"My God... Spider-Man is terrifying!"

Chaos engulfed the city streets as more Spider-Men arrived, their numbers swelling. Seeing the carnage Xia Luo was causing, they steeled themselves.

"It's Xia Luo Parker!"

"That bastard killed so many Spider-Men in one move!"

"We can't let him continue!"

"Everyone, attack!"

With a battle cry, Spider-Men launched themselves toward Xia Luo, swinging webs and leaping into action.

In response, Xia Luo fired a streak of webbing charged with energy, slicing through the oncoming Spider-Men like a blade.

Splurt, splurt, splurt!

The red beam swept across the battlefield, leaving shattered bodies in its wake. Blood rained down from the skies, painting the city red.

The Spider-Men's suits grew even redder, stained with their comrades' blood.

Xia Luo's eyes glowed a deep crimson, the color of madness.

Creak—

Blood-red tendrils unfurled from his body, obliterating all who dared to approach.

Boom!

A tendril lashed out, hurling a Spider-Man against a skyscraper. He bounced off the walls before crashing onto the train tracks below.

Woo-woo!

A speeding train barreled down the tracks. The fallen Spider-Man barely rose to his feet before being swept away into the tunnel.

Before he could devise a way out, thunder rumbled in the sky. Lightning crackled as Xia Luo descended like a god of wrath, plummeting toward the tracks.

Boom!!!

The train tracks exploded in a deafening crash, sending the speeding train hurtling toward a broken bridge.

Watch out!!

The Spider-Men gasped in unison, launching web after web to halt the speeding train in a coordinated effort.

Screech—

As the train gradually came to a stop, its passengers stared out at the web-slinging heroes with faces full of shock and confusion.

"Spider-Man?"

"Yeah... Spider-Man," someone muttered in disbelief.

A hand planted itself on the train's front. Emerging from a crater, Xia Luo propped himself up, his body shrouded in rising white smoke.

"Cough, cough... Missed the big moment again! So annoying!"

With a roar of frustration, Xia Luo transformed into a dazzling meteor and shot skyward.

Buzz~

BOOM—

The brilliant meteor streaked past the tracks, leaving a trail of explosions in its wake. Spider-Men were buried under the rubble one after another.

"Stop him!"

A portal opened, and the Supreme Spider-Man appeared, weaving a massive magical spiderweb with swift hand seals.

Before the magical web could fully descend, another "Xia Luo" silently materialized behind him.

Boom!

A thunderous punch shattered the air, and the Supreme Spider-Man's figure disintegrated instantly.

"Got you," Xia Luo sneered.

But in the next instant, another magical web descended, enveloping Xia Luo's figure, which promptly dissolved.

"What?!"

The Supreme Spider-Man reappeared from the void, exclaiming in shock. "A magical clone?"

"No, it's a physical clone!"

Another Xia Luo appeared behind him, speaking calmly.

Zzt!

A crimson beam sliced through the Supreme Spider-Man, splitting his body in half before it disintegrated into scattered particles of light.

"Another clone?"

Xia Luo frowned and spun around, delivering a ferocious punch.

Boom!

Splurt—

The clone shattered, only to spawn dozens more identical Supreme Spider-Men.

"As expected of Xia Luo Parker."

The countless Supreme Spider-Men grimaced, casting spells in unison to release another wave of magical webs.

Buzz—

The cascading webs rained down like waterfalls, leaving Xia Luo with no room to evade. He stood motionless, letting himself be bound by the magic.

Seeing this, the Supreme Spider-Men's expressions shifted.

"Damn it! It's another clone!"

Realizing the deception, they darted toward the hospital, merging their forms mid-flight to consolidate into a single true body.

But at that moment, the "clone" Xia Luo smirked, shattering the magical threads with a pulse of crimson energy. The power erupted in a fiery surge that spanned thousands of meters.

"What?!"

The oncoming blast left the Supreme Spider-Man wide-eyed with horror.

"Damn it, it's a trap—"

Splurt!

Before he could react, the beam sliced through him. Flames engulfed the edges of the severed wound, consuming his body rapidly.

Thud!

As the charred corpse hit the street, Xia Luo dusted off his hands with a satisfied grin.

"Good. Now I can use the portal."

He waved his hand, drawing a glowing circle of magical sparks.

Sure enough, the web sealing off portals had vanished.

Just as he prepared to leave the scene, a sudden pain pierced his mind.

Buzz—

It felt like a blade driving into his skull. His consciousness fractured, and he plummeted from the sky.

Crash!

The impact sent rubble flying as Spider-Men swarmed to bury Xia Luo's figure under the debris.

Cosmic Web

Xia Luo sat up, clutching his head.

"Fell asleep again?"

He shook his head, frustration coloring his face.

Reflecting on the battle, he realized he'd been ambushed.

Psychic attacks. Even my mental resistance couldn't withstand that.

Whoever had attacked him had psychic power far surpassing Charles Xavier's.

First the Supreme Sorcerer Spider-Man, now this psychic Spider-Man. How many variations of Spider-Man exist?!

Xia Luo sighed, rubbing his temples. The 87 remaining resets didn't feel like so many anymore.

---

Fourth Resurrection Match

This time, Xia Luo abandoned his plan to head for the hospital directly.

Positioning himself beneath the antenna tower, he clasped his hands in a meditative seal, lowering his head as his soul ascended.

The ethereal form floated swiftly toward the hospital.

The searing sunlight above grew hotter, and Xia Luo's soul began to feel its oppressive force.

His body could absorb solar energy, but his soul could not. Fortunately, it had some resistance to the energy's corrosive effects, allowing him to press on.

Silently, he passed unnoticed through the throngs of Spider-Men.

Finally, a good call. The earlier resets were all wasted, bogged down by those Spider-Men.

This time, Xia Luo intended to gather crucial intel.

He couldn't help but reminisce about the days when old Steve Rogers was around.

Without connections, this resurrection match is ridiculously tough.

As he approached the hospital's gates, his spectral view revealed an invisible web encasing the building.

Any disturbance would instantly alert the Supreme Spider-Man.

Hiding behind a nearby GG billboard, Xia Luo observed the entrance.

Venom Parker.

So, that's why the Spider-Men knew his story—someone had ratted him out.

Stronger when corrupted, weaker when redeemed, he mused.

Though Venom Parker was no longer a match for Xia Luo, he had no choice but to confront him in this Spider-Man-dominated battlefield.

For Aunt May!

This was his only shot.

Venom Parker stood, black liquid writhing across his body, occasionally forming a demonic face that scared away nearby pedestrians.

Buzz~

A portal opened, and the Supreme Spider-Man stepped through.

"Where's Xia Luo Parker?" Venom Parker asked.

The Supreme Spider-Man shook his head. "He's asleep. Doesn't seem interested in participating in this mission."

"Asleep?" Venom Parker frowned.

"You don't believe me?"

The Supreme Spider-Man waved his hand, conjuring a dimensional mirror. Within, Xia Luo was slumped at the base of the antenna tower, unmoving.

Venom Parker's brow furrowed. "You're sure this isn't a trick?"

"A trick?"

The Supreme Spider-Man's expression shifted. "You think he knows cloning magic?"

"Of course."

"Shit. Why didn't you tell me he could clone himself?"

"You didn't ask."

"Damn it."

The Supreme Spider-Man quickly extended his hand, dragging Xia Luo's body through the portal.

The Supreme Spider-Man jostled Xia Luo's seemingly lifeless body, inspecting it carefully.

"It's not a clone. It's..."

His expression shifted, and realization dawned. "Astral projection!"

Immediately, his demeanor hardened, and his eyes flared with blue light as he scanned the surrounding buildings.

Buzz~

The beams of light swept through the area like searchlights. Hidden in the shadows, Xia Luo quickly adjusted his position to avoid detection.

After a thorough search, the Supreme Spider-Man withdrew his light.

"Looks like I can't find him," he said with a sigh.

Venom Parker's face darkened.

"That bastard learned soul magic? This is trouble."

Having missed the past few resurrection matches, Venom Parker was no longer familiar with all of Xia Luo's tricks. Now, with Xia Luo's soul roaming free, it was clear he intended to act covertly.

If they couldn't track Xia Luo Parker, they might not even know how they lost.

Seeing Venom Parker's grim expression, the Supreme Spider-Man folded his arms. "Dude, what's with you? Is this guy really that scary? This is my first resurrection match, so don't try to spook me."

"He's not lying," came a voice as a faint figure materialized from thin air.

Psychic Spider-Man addressed the Supreme Spider-Man. "He shared his memories with me, and I saw the truth. That guy is absolute trouble. If we don't deal with him, we have zero chance of winning."

"I've already used my psychic abilities to contact all the contestants and guide them to target Xia Luo. While we can't find him ourselves, eventually, one of the Spider-Men will detect his presence."

The Supreme Spider-Man shrugged, clearly unconcerned.

"Sorry, but this is hard to believe without seeing it for myself. Even if he's as formidable as you say, there's only going to be one winner. If he doesn't show up soon, I'm not going to waste my time on this silly game."

Psychic Spider-Man considered this for a moment. "Just wait. Once I'm ready, I'll pinpoint his location."

"How long?"

"Not long."

---

In his astral form, Xia Luo's heightened senses allowed him to perceive every word.

Upon learning the full truth, the pressure weighed heavily on him.

So, Venom Parker figured out how to play these resurrection matches properly, Xia Luo mused bitterly.

Leveraging connections and gathering intelligence, Venom Parker had successfully drained several of Xia Luo's resets.

That's so unfair!

Leaning against a wall, Xia Luo sighed.

The Pym Particles wouldn't help him evade the relentless pursuit of Spider-Men this time, and in his astral state, he was powerless against their abilities.

Portals were countered, his mental defenses were overwhelmed, and he had no allies to back him up.

This match was a complete disaster.

As more Spider-Men gathered near the hospital, however, Xia Luo began to glimpse a faint glimmer of hope.

Finally, he spotted a familiar face.

---

Standing at the hospital's entrance, Lizard Parker faced off against Venom Parker, a cold sneer tugging at his lips.

"So that's why someone tipped us off to take out Xia Luo first. Turns out there's a traitor here!"

Venom Parker's expression was grim. "We still haven't located Xia Luo Parker."

Lizard Parker shrugged dismissively. "Who cares?"

Glancing at the Supreme Spider-Man and the eerie Psychic Spider-Man, his smirk deepened.

"What's the plan? You three teaming up to take down that loser, or are you planning to turn on us?"

His words stirred murmurs among the gathered Spider-Men.

"What's going on? They said Xia Luo Parker was the biggest threat, but he hasn't even shown up."

"What if they're lying?"

"Oh my God, they fooled us—the smartest Spider-Man!"

"They're Spider-Men too."

"No! Spider-Men don't lie to other Spider-Men. How could they?"

"Wait, I get it. Xia Luo Parker is just an excuse!"

"That's right—they're teaming up to eliminate the other contestants!"

"Xia Luo Parker sounds like a weakling. How could he possibly influence the entire match?"

"Yeah, Spider-Men don't trust Spider-Men anymore!"

"The symbiote guy? His words mean nothing."

"And that weird guy—can't even see his face. Definitely shady."

"Let's not let them get away with this!"

The agitated Spider-Men grew restless, some visibly preparing to storm the hospital.

---

Venom Parker's face twisted in frustration as he turned to Lizard Parker.

"What are you trying to do? You know how dangerous Xia Luo Parker is, so why didn't you warn them?"

Lizard Parker scoffed. "That guy's just a loser. I only lost to him before because I was careless. Honestly, I never saw him as a threat."

Nearby Spider-Men murmured in agreement.

"Even this unlucky Peter doesn't respect him? Xia Luo Parker must be a joke."

"In that case, there's nothing to worry about."

"Yeah! These three are liars!"

"Don't trust them!"

"They're just trying to distract us. No way—we're the smartest Spider-Men!"

"If they don't move, we'll force our way in!"

The situation spiraled out of control as the enraged Spider-Men surged forward.

Venom Parker, overwhelmed, struggled to find words, while the Supreme Spider-Man could only spread his hands in exasperation.

"Blurred-out Mr. Mosaic," he said to Psychic Spider-Man, "your voice carries a little too well."

Psychic Spider-Man clenched his fists. "You're the loud one."

"Fine, my bad. Guess it's every Spider for themselves now."

With that, the Supreme Spider-Man vanished into a portal, leaving Venom Parker and Psychic Spider-Man to fend for themselves.

"No!!"

Venom Parker was quickly swallowed by the mass of enraged Spider-Men, while Psychic Spider-Man slipped into the void unnoticed.

---

Watching the chaos unfold, Psychic Spider-Man sighed.

"Xia Luo Parker is truly a nuisance. You... sigh~"

Shaking his head, he gathered his psychic strength.

"I'll prove everything."

Closing his eyes, he unleashed a vast wave of psychic energy.

Faced with the choice of stopping the rampaging Spider-Men or locating Xia Luo Parker, he chose the latter.

---

From his vantage point, Xia Luo felt a familiar sensation wash over him.

The immense psychic force swept through his soul, paralyzing him in an instant.

He lost consciousness immediately.

Fifth Resurrection Match

Beneath the antenna tower, Xia Luo reflected on Lizard Parker's exceptional performance. Confidence surged through him.

Who said this resurrection match lacks connections?

Sometimes, salvation comes from a four-legged reptile.

As the countdown ended, Xia Luo's soul once again left his body, speeding toward the hospital.

---

Before long, the scene was already in disarray.

"Spider-Men don't lie to Spider-Men! How could they do this?"

Spurred by Lizard Parker's provocation, the assembled Spider-Men began to question Venom Parker and his allies.

While Venom Parker fumbled to explain, Xia Luo's soul slipped back into his body amidst the confusion.

Moments later, Xia Luo emerged from the shadows, his steps unsteady, his battle-worn suit hanging in tatters.

"I'm Xia Luo Parker!" he cried, his voice hoarse with feigned desperation. "They kidnapped me—don't trust them!"

Limping toward the crowd, he threw up his hands dramatically.

"Don't believe their lies! Go save Aunt May!"

His impassioned performance erased any lingering doubts among the Spider-Men.

"You jerks! How could you do this to another Spider-Man?"

"Charge!"

"Take them down!"

"Eliminate these evil Spider-Men!"

In an instant, a swarm of Spider-Men surged toward Venom Parker.

From the chaos, Lizard Parker exchanged a knowing look with Xia Luo, his lips curling into a smirk.

Xia Luo gave a subtle signal in return.

The two shared a silent laugh.

Lizard Parker understood the stakes: winning once versus winning consistently.

Though he had also lost Uncle Ben and Aunt May, they had passed away too early for him to form strong memories or attachments to them. With no deep obsession driving him, he found no urgency in this match.

Maybe someday, he thought, but not now.

His self-awareness kept him grounded. Aligning with Venom Parker would never lead to victory, so why not lend a hand to that so-called "loser"?

Following Xia Luo seemed like the safer bet—it was less about trust and more about survival. Besides, Lizard Parker didn't think Xia Luo would lose.

Thanks to this unexpected alliance, Xia Luo's seemingly hopeless predicament began to unravel. Venom Parker's plan fell apart as chaos descended on the hospital. Spider-Men flooded in, plunging the scene into disorder.

---

Meanwhile, Psychic Spider-Man, hidden in the void, had almost fully recovered his psychic strength.

Before he could unleash a city-wide scan to locate Xia Luo, a radiant spider totem lit up beneath him.

"What is this?"

A magical array activated, twisting his body unnaturally.

"Goodbye, Mr. Mosaic," Xia Luo said, appearing beside him in a flash.

The spider totem detonated with explosive force.

"No!!"

"Boom!"

Psychic Spider-Man's form shattered completely within the magical explosion.

Xia Luo observed the remnants thoughtfully.

"So, he was an energy-based entity. No wonder his psychic strength wasn't stable."

Psychic Spider-Man had spent much of his energy manipulating and communicating with other Spider-Men, leaving him vulnerable. Had he been at full strength, Xia Luo wouldn't have stood a chance.

Having dealt with Psychic Spider-Man, Xia Luo chose not to involve himself in the hospital chaos.

With so many Spider-Men determined to save Aunt May, the battle would undoubtedly drag on with no clear winner anytime soon.

Instead, Xia Luo decided to explore the unknown.

---

He wandered into a nearby alley and found Lizard Parker waiting for him.

"Hey, long time no see," Xia Luo greeted.

Lizard Parker blinked. "Long time?"

"Well, sort of," Xia Luo chuckled.

Lizard Parker glanced toward the hospital. "Not going to join the fray?"

"Not for now."

"I get it—let them fight it out while you reap the benefits."

"Wow, a bit of culture, but not too much," Xia Luo quipped.

Shooting out a web, he crafted a hammock-like net. Lizard Parker plopped into it, lounging comfortably.

"So, how've you been?" he asked, eyes closed.

"Not bad. You?" Xia Luo replied, weaving his own webbed hammock.

Lizard Parker cracked one eye open. "If it weren't for you crushing me, I'd describe my life in one word."

"Terrible?"

"Nope."

"Great?"

"No, vivid and colorful."

"Uh-huh," Xia Luo said dryly. "Vivid and colorful sounds expensive. And you're still broke."

"I'm not the Peter I used to be."

Grinning smugly, Lizard Parker said, "You have no idea what my current profession is."

"Profession?" Xia Luo raised an eyebrow. "Superhero?"

"Nope—famous comic book artist!"

Lizard Parker struck a triumphant pose. "I turned our stories into a comic series. Once it hit the shelves, it became a hit across New York. I'm rich now!"

Xia Luo: "..."

"You can do that?" Xia Luo asked, incredulous.

Lizard Parker shot him a side-eye. "Why not? If I can't be Spider-Man, I can still be a comic book artist!"

"Fair. My bad for doubting you."

Xia Luo suddenly recalled that most versions of Peter Parker were skilled designers, with some even creating their own Spider suits. It wasn't a stretch to imagine him excelling in art.

"By the way, how did you die this time?" Lizard Parker asked curiously.

Xia Luo waved dismissively. "I faced an enemy trying to destroy the multiverse. We fought for three days and nights. I finally defeated them, but the injuries I sustained..."

Lizard Parker cut him off with a raised hand.

"Stop. As a professional comic book artist, I have reason to believe you're making that up."

Xia Luo: "..."

"You're a comic artist, not a novelist." Xia Luo rolled his eyes.

Lizard Parker puffed up smugly. "Ha! My novel's coming out soon too—it's already generating hype."

"Except you're dead. No family. No royalties. No cut of the profits," Xia Luo pointed out.

Lizard Parker froze.

The realization hit hard.

"No!!! My money! My beautiful money!!"

He clutched his head, wailing in despair.

Xia Luo glanced at his watch.

"Only an hour's passed, but the fighting's escalating. I'd better check it out."

He waved a hand, summoning a portal.

"Buzz~"

Just as the portal opened, a red-and-blue figure tumbled through, landing ungracefully.

"Aunt May is mine—huh? Where am I?"

Muscle Spider-Man scrambled to his feet, scanning the alley. His eyes locked onto Xia Luo and Lizard Parker.

"All Spider-Men are competitors. You two skinny guys look weak. Sorry, but this is survival."

Cracking his knuckles, he advanced.

Xia Luo stepped through the portal casually, glancing back at Lizard Parker.

"If you're bored, feel free to entertain him. He's all show and no strength."

"How do you know?" Lizard Parker scratched his head.

"Because I tried him out."

With that, Xia Luo disappeared through the portal.

---

Inside the hospital, Mary Jane clutched Aunt May tightly, trembling.

Peter Parker stood guard at the door, sweat dripping down his face.

"What's going on? Why are there so many Spider-Men?" he muttered, his nerves frayed.

By the bedside, the Supreme Spider-Man examined Aunt May's condition.

"If we perform surgery to remove the bullet near her heart, she'll die for sure."

"What?!" Mary Jane's face turned pale. "So, we can't operate?"

"Correct," the Supreme Spider-Man replied after a pause. "But I may have another solution."

"Is your solution tricking children with magic?"

The window rattled as thunder rolled. A Spider-Man wielding Thor's hammer hovered outside, swatting away several incoming Spider-Men with ease.

Wind howled as lightning surged around him, his presence radiating power.

The Supreme Spider-Man's expression grew serious.

"Finally, something interesting."

"Interesting my ass!"

At that moment, Xia Luo stepped through a portal.

Seeing the hospital equipment fried by stray electricity and Aunt May's body convulsing as she grew cold, his face darkened.

"Aunt May's dead. You two killed her."

The Supreme Spider-Man: "..."

Thor Spider-Man: "..."
