Ghost Andrew Spider seemed like a duck with its neck squeezed, and the numerous words about to burst out were suddenly stifled.
He stared blankly at Mark.
And Mark remained silent, just looking into his eyes.
"Gwen. She's already dead, among those who came to this world like me, there is no Gwen. She's gone," Ghost Andrew Spider said emotionally.
In an instant, Ghost Andrew Spider's emotions went through a roller coaster, from low to high, then back to low.
"Leave that aside; I only ask you, do you still want to see her?" Mark shook his head slightly, still looking into Ghost Andrew Spider's eyes.
If he had even a hint of emotion related to "ferocity" or "killer instinct," he would promptly halt this plan. Whether he killed this guy or sent him back, it would have no relation to him.
"I..."
"What? Yes or no, don't dilly-dally," Mark continued to provoke him with words.
That's exactly what he wanted, to stir up the emotions deeply hidden in Ghost Andrew Spider.
Ghost Andrew Spider was like a tomb now. The top layer of soil on the tomb was the darkness he had experienced over the years, and buried beneath was the coffin representing his affection for Aunt May. After Aunt May died, he permanently buried this familial affection.
This was also why he didn't harm the Aunt May of Spider-Tom. Because emotions were just buried, not decayed!
Buried even deeper was his love for Gwen.
But Mark couldn't be sure whether this love still existed.
"Yes!" Ghost Andrew Spider's face turned red, but he couldn't resist the innermost desire.
"Pfft—"
Mark couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Why are you laughing!" Ghost Andrew Spider glared at Mark.
"It's nothing. I just thought of something amusing."
After saying that, Mark turned and left.
Since he had promised, he decided to do this right.
He returned to where everyone was, explaining the situation and his decision.
Doctor Strange and others were very interested in crossing worlds, requesting to observe.
Mark didn't mind; after all, it wasn't the first or second time people had seen him dimension-travel. There was no need to hide such things.
After giving some instructions, he directly activated his ability.
[Quantum Travel]!
Mark once again strolled through the familiar quantum tunnel, quietly feeling the quantum changes around him.
Soon, he sensed four anchor coordinates.
Three close, one far.
The three closer ones represent the universes of three movie dimensions, namely Tobey Spider's world, Andrew Spider's world, and Spider-Tom's world.
The distant one is Miles' world, the ultimate universe, the one he visited earliest.
However, Miles' world is located in the animated dimension. If he wants to go there, it consumes more spacetime power, making it naturally "far."
Mark didn't dare to stay here longer; he feared that, like the previous time, he would be attracted by the quantum world and develop a desire for "joining the reality."
Soon, he pinpointed Andrew Spider's world...
However, at that moment, his spider sense suddenly moved.
"What's happening?" Mark was slightly surprised.
Triggering the spider sense in this completely quantum-composed ultramicroscopic world was a first in his lifetime.
Unable to resist, Mark approached the direction indicated by the spider sense.
Soon, he arrived at the location pointed out by the spider sense.
However, this was already within the realm of the anime dimension.
In front of him appeared another world.
On the top of a high building, between a water tower and a signal tower, there was a giant web woven from white spider silk.
A figure lay on the giant web, gazing at the stars.
She had long, flowing golden hair and wore a black, white, and pink mixed spider suit. Her golden hair was casually scattered over the suit and the spider web.
The girl's eyes had no focus, as if lost in thought.
In a few days, it would be her 18th birthday. In order to celebrate, her parents invited many classmates and friends, preparing for a grand party at home.
However, she didn't like such an environment, especially the young people dressed up and trying to impress her. So, after a fruitless argument with her father about this matter, she came to the rooftop alone.
Looking at the stars, memories of a strange journey three months ago involuntarily emerged in her mind.
An accident of parallel universes brought her to another world, where she met friends from different parallel universes, including...
Thinking of this, she took out her phone, lit up the screen, and there was a photo of her and Mark in front of the collider.
Looking at Mark's somewhat bewildered expression on the screen, a slight smile appeared at the corner of the girl's mouth.
Buzz—
The spider sense suddenly activated.
The girl was startled, and without hesitation, she picked up the white spider mask placed beside her, preparing to put it on.
She didn't want her true identity to be exposed just like that.
Her father, George Stacy, was the police chief of New York City and strongly disliked Spider-Woman—well, actually, her.
Especially last year when her high school classmate Peter Parker transformed himself into the Lizard-Man through a biological experiment due to relentless bullying.
After a fierce battle, Lizard-Man Peter died in front of her.
However, because of this, people who already had reservations about Spider-Woman began to hate her. Her father also initiated a pursuit.
This year, as Spider-Woman, she led a very difficult life.
But thinking about the experiences in that other world, thinking about Lizard Peter's tragic death, she persevered.
"Who?!" Spider-Gwen jumped off the spider web, striking a combat pose.
Over the years, she had experienced many battles alone, enriching her combat experience even more than before.
"Hey!"
A figure in a metallic glossy spider suit appeared not far from Spider-Gwen, extending a greeting.
"Spider-Men from other worlds? Are you..." Spider-Gwen felt the voice was somewhat familiar but had a hard time identifying it.
Mark retracted his suit, exposing himself plainly in front of Spider-Gwen.
"Long time no see, Gwen. How have you been?"
"Mark!!!" In an instant, she felt immense happiness enveloping her entirely.
On the eve of her birthday, the person she had been longing for appeared before her like this.
'Could it be that God heard my prayers and made my dream come true?'
Looking at the face so close, Spider-Gwen's heartbeat involuntarily accelerated.
Actually, she didn't know what was so special about Mark.
He wasn't exceptionally handsome, and can only be considered as slightly above average.
Their understanding of each other was also not that extensive. At most, they trained, ate, and fought together for a few days.
Moreover, during that time, their moments alone were scarce.
Yet, there was something about him that drew her in.
This feeling ignited instantly when he appeared before her out of nowhere after she faced danger, rescuing her.
At that moment, she genuinely thought she was going to die.
Almost all her bones were broken or shattered, and her internal organs were compressed into a mass.
However, it was Mark's "reckless kiss" that transmitted something into her body, enhancing her regenerative abilities, allowing her to quickly recover and return to the fight and then to her world.
From that moment on, a certain connection formed between her and him.
Especially when gazing at the stars, she felt her call could traverse the boundaries of time and space, spreading deep into the universe, even reaching other worlds through the multiverse.
Perhaps, this was a kind of "force of connection" by destiny, binding the two spiders together.
"What's wrong with you?" Mark was a bit embarrassed.
For Spider-Gwen, who had been alone, although only three months had passed, it felt like an eternity.
While for the busy Mark, everything seemed like it happened just yesterday.
Unaware of the details, he still felt a bit awkward about the incident where he "forcibly kissed" Spider-Gwen.
As for the words Spider-Gwen spoke when she left, he didn't take them seriously.
Firstly, Spider-Gwen was just a kid at that time—can you take a child's words seriously? It's like playing games with childhood friends, promising to marry each other when grown up, but how many childhood promises end up being fulfilled?
And Mark also naturally assumed that Spider-Gwen had the carefree and wild attitude of an average teenager back then. So, apart from some initial unease, he didn't think much about it afterward.
But upon seeing her, he felt that Spider-Gwen seemed a bit off.
Is she going to attack me?
But I can beat her in a fight.
But how can I retaliate?
Oh no, she's pouncing!
Should I dodge?
Wait, how can she...
Mark stood in place, feet apart, hands raised high, stiff as a board.
Meanwhile, Spider-Gwen was hanging onto Mark, her long and shapely legs firmly clasped around his waist, her upper body entirely pressed against his.
The Spider suit was skin-tight, with thin and breathable fabric. Mark could even feel her young and energetic warmth through the suit.
And poor Mark's lips could only helplessly endure the onslaught.
"Huff, huff, huff—"
After a long French kiss, Spider-Gwen jumped down from Mark.
Only then did she realize what she had just done, and her face instantly turned red.
