Earth-9500, an unfinished building in Queens, New York.
Karn, holding a steel trident, continuously adjusted his position to keep both Spider-n in sight, preventing himself from being encircled and losing his field of vision.
He had underestimated them, these two Spider-n were not simple.
One possessed imnse strength and incredible physical prowess, not inferior to his own.
The other was agile and reacted extrely quickly, his Spider-Sense was much more acute than any Spider-Man he had encountered before.
In his injured state, he couldn't take down these two Spider-n in a short ti.
And ti was not on his side.
As Karn pondered, the two Spider-n exchanged glances and, with a tacit understanding, launched a simultaneous attack.
From the perspective of the two Spider-n, ti was not on their side either.
This mysterious man who had suddenly appeared was extrely powerful. Neither of them alone would be his match, they had to team up to have a chance at victory.
And one of the Spider-n (Amazing) would only be able to stay in this world for about seven days before leaving.
At that ti, the remaining Spider-Man would be in danger.
Karn swung his steel trident, first forcing back the faster Amazing Spider-Man, then turning to block the other Spider-Man.
Although Amazing Spider-Man was forced back, he flicked his wrist in mid-air. A web shot out, aiming at Karn's wrist joint.
Karn shifted his body, trying to dodge. But he found that, at so point, the other Spider-Man had already grabbed his steel trident, wrestling with him.
After a slight pause, Karn's wrist was entangled by Amazing Spider-Man's web.
The next second, Amazing Spider-Man landed on both feet and pulled back with force. The other Spider-Man also exerted a sudden burst of strength.
Their combined effort made Karn stumble, and the steel trident in his hand involuntarily slipped away.
"Nice work, Peter!" Amazing Spider-Man cheered in celebration.
"You too, Peter!" Spider-Man responded.
After a period of bitter fighting, their teamwork had beco increasingly synchronized.
As the two Spider-n celebrated, Karn's heart sank. He saw a red and blue portal open not far away. From it, four more Spider-n erged.
"Karn, surrender. The Inheritors have been eliminated, there's no point in you running any longer."
Karn said nothing, rely lowering his stance slightly, ready to break through at any mont.
Zing!
Spider-Sense triggered, and the two Spider-n, along with the four-mber Web Slingers team, also noticed each other.
"Who are you?" Spider-Man asked.
"Spider-UK."
"Spider-Man Noir."
"SP//dr."
"Spider-Ham."
After the introductions, Spider-UK spoke, requesting the two Spider-n in front to cooperate, "Two Spider-n, please cooperate with us first to capture Karn. Afterwards, I will explain the whole situation to you."
"Alright."
This ti, facing the combined assault of six Spider-n, the heavily injured Karn could not escape again.
After the battle, Spider-Man imdiately fired off a triple question.
"Who is he, why did he attack and Amazing Spider-Man, and why are you hunting him?"
Spider-UK explained each point.
"He is Karn, from the Inheritors."
"The Inheritors preys on Spider-n, hunting them across the Multiverse."
"Not long ago, under the leadership of Sorcerer Spider-Man, the Web Slingers successfully eliminated the main force of the Inheritors. Karn is the last mber of the Inheritors."
Spider-Man nodded thoughtfully.
Afterwards, he asked so questions about the Multiverse and the Web Slingers.
Spider-UK answered each one.
"I have a question."
Spider-Man Noir suddenly spoke, looking at Amazing Spider-Man and asking, "How did you co to this Universe?"
Amazing Spider-Man's expression darkened, the joy of having just defeated a powerful enemy fading.
"I was transported here by a demon, also through the Web of Life and Destiny."
"A demon? You made a deal with a demon?"
Amazing Spider-Man nodded.
"Why? Was it to revive soone?" Spider-Man Noir asked.
Amazing Spider-Man remained silent, nodding again.
"What was the agreent you made with the demon, and is there any way to break it? If it can't be broken, I'm afraid you'll have to hide at the Web Slingers headquarters to escape him." Spider-Man Noir continued to ask.
"The agreent was that I would travel through the Multiverse for him, searching for a pair of lovers. In return, he would revive Gwen for ."
"So, you ca to this Universe to do the demon's bidding?"
"No." Amazing Spider-Man shook his head, his expression pained and conflicted. "I won't do that. I can't sacrifice others for my own happiness."
Spider-UK shook his head and sighed, "Amazing Spider-Man, you are right to do so."
"Among the Web Slingers, there are also so Spider-n who were deceived by demons and made deals. But in the end, not a single one succeeded in reviving their loved ones."
"Amazing Spider-Man, we will first send you back to your Universe. Say goodbye to your family, and then, before you leave, head to the Web Slingers."
"We will arrange for you to go to a Universe where demons cannot reach, this is the only way to escape the demon."
Amazing Spider-Man pondered for a mont, then slowly nodded.
In his original Universe, he only had May left as family.
Moving was not a bad idea.
"Let's go."
Spider-UK called out, manipulating his wrist device to open a portal.
—
Earth-120703, Queens, New York.
A red and blue portal opened, and five Spider-n erged from it.
As for Karn, he had already been teleported back to the Web Slingers headquarters.
As soon as he stepped out of the portal, Spider-UK noticed sothing was off. His wrist device indicated that a familiar Spider-Man's information had been detected.
'Why is Ghost-Spider here? In that case, is Sorcerer Spider-Man here too?'
Suppressing the doubt in his heart, Spider-UK decided to deal with Amazing Spider-Man's matter first, then go look for Ghost-Spider and the Sorcerer Spider-Man.
"Amazing Spider-Man, you go back and pack your things first, then notify us to pick you up."
"Alright."
Amazing Spider-Man nodded in agreent.
He shot a web from his wrist and swung away into the distance. It had been a long ti since he had perford such flashy aerial maneuvers.
"Spider-Man Noir, Peni, Spider-Ham, let's split up and look for Ghost-Spider."
Spider-UK had a subtle premonition that if Ghost-Spider was here, Sorcerer Spider-Man must also be here.
And Sorcerer Spider-Man's target was likely the demon who had made a deal with Amazing Spider-Man. If that were the case, Amazing Spider-Man might not need to move to seek refuge after all.
"Alright."
The three Spider-n nodded in agreent, each shooting webs and swinging away into the distance.
Returning ho, Peter was surprised to find that May hadn't gone to work but was sitting in the living room.
The next second, Peter understood, she was waiting for him.
Lowering his head in sha, Peter apologized softly, "I'm sorry, Aunt May."
May didn't say any words of bla, only sighed, "Peter, Helen ca over last night. She brought a gift Gwen made for you. I put it in your room, go in and take a look yourself."
