Marvel: Apocalyptic Beginning, a High-Level Game!

Chapter 227 The Prisoner in the Cave

"There are still many things that need to be done."

Like a guy standing on a high platform, quietly watching the whole performance.

"Hello, Peter Parker."

Peter Parker, who came from the 616 main universe and had a beer belly that seemed to be experiencing a midlife crisis, was suddenly startled.

He turned around abruptly, tilting his head as he looked at the Asian man who had suddenly appeared in front of him and the huge golden circle that had appeared behind him.

To his surprise, his spider senses didn't register anything, as if the other party didn't exist at all. Of course, unless the other party had some kind of mysterious power, which he had seen many before.

"Uh, I wanted to confirm something. You're not some kind of Sorcerer Supreme in this world, are you? And do you know that Strange guy?"

Hanlu crossed her arms, lightly tapped her toes on the ground, and wore a mysterious smile on her face.

"You do know a lot, at least you understand the changes between the multiverse much better than they do."

So, are you going to the party? At least you need to figure out you're there, right?

The Spider-Man turned to look again at the mourning crowd, especially the one in the center.

Mary Jane was still giving a speech on the podium.

"Okay, okay, I'm coming right now, I'm coming right now."

They had already faced many dangers in their own world, such as fighting the Avengers, X-Men, Thunderbolts, High Command, and Vanguard Avengers. They had fought Atlantis, gone to space, gone into trees with subterranean people, and probably even been to primeval forests, fought dinosaurs, and so on. In short, it was a lot of trouble.

Having already felt fearless and unafraid of anything disrupting his mind, Spider-Man quickly composed himself and prepared to resolve all the troubles.

But...

Despite thinking that nothing could frighten him, he was startled once again.

Just like...

"What the fuck!!"

Spider-Man cupped his numb face in his hands, looking at the various versions of himself before him.

"Stop, stop, stop! Although I understand some of the rules and laws of parallel universes and the multiverse, I feel like this is all too much at once. And you, are you an idiot?"

Spider-Man pointed uncertainly with one hand at the little guy in the corner.

It's obvious that someone is not happy.

"Hmph, what are you discriminating against?"

"Uh, no, no."

Spider-Man quickly apologized; after all, he's a very nice and friendly neighbor, isn't he?

"So, do I need to introduce myself? I'm Peter Parker."

"Yeah, me too."

"Me too."

"Me too."

"No! My name is Penny Parker."

"Wow, I'm so surprised! But I happen to remember this mage. You have a way to help me return to my original world, because I feel like I belong there more, and this place feels a bit strange."

As he spoke, Spider-Man felt as if he had been electrocuted, and all the cells in his body began to decay wildly. The sudden frame drop was something everyone could feel, but thankfully...

Hanlu recently patted someone on the shoulder, and instantly, Spider-Man felt everything was back to normal, but...

"I still have to go back; my life is a mess. And..."

No, I mean, Spider-Man has a lot of things to do!

"Yes, there are a lot of things to do, but if you want to go back now, it's best to go back the way you came, okay?"

Also, there's another Spider-Man in this world who needs your help.

Upon hearing Hanlu's words, Spider-Man from the main universe slowly moved forward, passing through the crowd watching the show and lying on the eaves. He also saw the little black spider below, who was clutching his back and slowly standing up.

"My back! My back!"

"It looks so painful."

Spider-Man said with some heartache.

I don't know why, but I always feel a sense of empathy. Moreover, when he came into this world, the series of impacts also made his head and face hurt, because now his face is covered with bruises.

"Well, actually, I'm not very good at dealing with kids, so I thought since there are so many Spider-Men here, maybe..."

"Sorry, no. This time, I'll be more of an observer."

Also, feel free to call me if you need anything. I'm always here. Bye!

"Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute."

Spider-Man Noir, Spider-Man Jr., and Spider-Man from the main universe all lunged forward, but unfortunately, the place had completely disappeared, as if it had never existed at all.

"Is your sorcerer always this mysterious? I always thought Strange was troublesome enough."

"I think you'd better show him some respect. He saved several universes. And he's not a sorcerer, he's a god."

"Wow..."

It's obvious that the main universe's Spider-Man still doesn't take someone seriously. Just kidding, what hasn't he seen?

It's nothing, he's traversed the multiverse, time, parallel universes, and dimensions; he's even gone to hell.

"So how about we team up? After all, we need to get back sooner, right?"

Spider-Man Noir was the first to nod. After all, standing here, no matter which Spider-Man it was, they all felt they were more suited to their own universe than to this completely unfamiliar place.

Finally, after the Spider-Men finished their synchronized hand-raising and clapping gesture, Spider-Man still glanced at the departing Miles Morales in the distance.

"Why don't we help him out? After all, we're not in a hurry to leave right now."

"Okay, let's just consider it as taking on an apprentice. But let me make this clear first, I have a bit of a stress reaction, so please don't say those eight words."

Uh.

Everyone's expressions varied when asked about the request from the main universe's Spider-Man, but they all nodded in unison.

Clearly, this statement has touched the warmest yet cruelest part of everyone's heart.

Except for Spider-Man, because his Uncle Ben is long gone.

So he was left alone, staring blankly at his surroundings. What were all those people saying?

What kind of magic spell?

It does not matter.

The important thing is.

Hanlu, having returned to her main world, bent over her old back.

After slightly twisting and stretching his body, he stood up again, dusted himself off, and turned to look at Lukurgos, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Tell me, Lugurgos, why did you call me back in such a hurry? I've finally found something to amuse myself and pass the time."

Lukurgos remained standing there calmly, his mechanical appearance revealing no emotion whatsoever. After all, he didn't even have eyes, just a black cloth. However, inexplicably, as soon as he stood there, an invisible pressure and seriousness enveloped everyone around him.

"Have you advanced to single-target level? You look so strange."

"Indeed. After successfully connecting several universes, I referenced the Celestials on this planet beneath our feet. By modifying the vibranium core of the Great Sage, I upgraded it to a god at the level of a single universe. At least its computing power and coverage are far beyond its previous state. It can now maintain the computing power structure of multiple universes simultaneously, while helping us explore a much wider world."

Without the slightest hesitation, Lugurgos revealed everything.

Hanlu nodded. He didn't take such a trivial matter to heart, because he understood that the other party's intelligence was far beyond what Ultron could construct.

The other party has a more lofty goal, such as exploring everything and creating everything.

Just like when he risked his life to fight a new god.

He had always been a prisoner in a cave.

"So now tell me, why did you call me back?"

Lukurgos said slowly, "Please believe me, Mr. Cold Dew. We are about to embark on a path destined to be completed. But before that, we need to prepare."
