'He really hit the jackpot,' Max thought as he looked at Peter. Peter's power was something he might not fully understand yet, but it consisted of two main aspects: Domination and Linking.
Peter was like a "linker" class from MMORPGs, able to connect himself to others, enhancing their abilities while also using their powers for himself.
"What do you mean I don't understand the domination part?" Peter asked, shaking his head in confusion.
Max grinned. "Hm, MJ, Gwen, come here," he said, nodding toward the two girls who were busy experimenting with their powers. Both of them looked over as he called them and walked toward him.
"Now, Peter, shoot your webs at them and try to think of them as invisible," Max instructed. Peter nodded, raising his hands and firing two webs that latched onto MJ's and Gwen's hands.
"Now, feel the link. Feel their power, their abilities, and try to use them," Max continued. Peter nodded again and focused on them. MJ and Gwen exchanged glances, wondering if Peter could actually do it.
Peter took a deep breath, closing his eyes and concentrating. Soon, he could sense the abilities. From MJ, he saw a swirling red ball that continuously released a red mist, while from Gwen, there was a silver energy emitting from her.
He tried to manipulate them, attempting to use their abilities. Suddenly, both MJ and Gwen gasped as Peter released red mist and silver energy simultaneously.
Flash and Harry, who were nearby, watched in amazement as the power unfolded.
"This... he's like a living conduit for powers," Harry muttered to himself, his greenish aura flickering, no longer feeling so unique.
"Now I understand why Parker is our leader," Flash said with a smile. "With his unique ability, he can definitely be the strongest."
Harry clenched his fist as he listened. Max mentioned something about bites, and it happened at Oscorp, he thought. That means it was one of the genetically enhanced animals or insects that my company is working on.
Maybe if I get bitten by two or more of them, my powers might get enhanced... and I can be stronger than Peter, Harry mused, his competitive nature stirring within him as he looked at Peter, who seemed unaware of his thoughts.
Haha, just wait, Pete. I don't really have a problem with you, but I'm not going to let you stay the leader without a fight, Harry thought to himself as a sly grin formed on his face.
Max could read Harry's thoughts, but he chose not to interfere, merely watching the situation unfold.
After some time, Peter opened his eyes, looking at himself, now covered in the powers of Gwen and MJ. "So this is what you meant by domination. I can use their powers as much as I like," he thought, as the red mist from MJ condensed into a cold, red longsword with a rose-shaped hilt and thorns spinning at its base. Meanwhile, the silver energy from Gwen morphed into a blue, rose-like blade.
"Huh?" Both MJ and Gwen exclaimed at the sight of Peter wielding their powers so effortlessly.
"How can he control our abilities so easily?" Gwen muttered under her breath, feeling a bit betrayed. Her own ability didn't always obey her, yet in Peter's hands, it was like an obedient puppy.
"How is he doing that?" MJ crossed her arms, looking to Max for answers.
"His power is both Linking and Domination," Max explained. "He linked to both of you, then dominated your abilities. You can think of it like this: for you, your abilities are like untrained puppies—you need to train them to listen to you. But for Peter, once he links, it's like a remote-controlled robot. He can move them as he wishes, shape them however he wants."
Both Gwen and MJ nodded thoughtfully before Gwen asked, "Linking and domination... so can he only link to people with powers like us, or can he link to anything?"
"Anything," Max replied with a smile and motioned to Peter. "Peter, latch onto that dummy over there and try to control it."
Peter nodded, shooting a web that latched onto a nearby training dummy. At first, nothing happened, but after a few moments, Peter managed to make it move. The dummy's limbs started jerking and sliding around in an uncoordinated manner.
"Haha, that's pretty cool!" Peter murmured to himself, amused by his new-found ability.
Max watched as Peter began to experiment with his newfound abilities, The energy threads he had created were like extensions of his will, and as he pulled the dummy closer, it seemed to obey his every command.
Gwen and MJ exchanged glances, both fascinated and a little envious of Peter's progress.
"How does it feel?" MJ asked, her curiosity piqued.
Peter grinned, still feeling the thrill of discovery. "It's amazing! I can feel the energy flowing through me, and it's like I'm controlling it without even trying. It's almost... alive."
Max nodded. "That's the essence of Linking and Domination. You've tapped into the energy of your surroundings and now you can interact with it in a way that's uniquely yours. Just like how Rize controls her blood, you can control the energy that connects everything."
MJ's expression shifted from envy to determination. "I want to try something else," she declared, stepping forward. "Max, what if I practice combining my abilities with Peter's? If he can dominate energy, maybe I can help him enhance it."
Max raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "That's a bold move. You'd be able to amplify his power while also learning how to better control your own. It's a great idea."
Peter nodded enthusiastically. "Let's do it! Together, we could create something awesome."
As they prepared to combine their abilities, Max encouraged them. "Remember to focus on your connection. You're both tapping into the same energy source, so work together. It's not just about what you can do individually but how you can amplify each other."
With that, MJ closed her eyes and reached out, focusing on the energy swirling around her. She visualized intertwining her Red Mist with Peter's energy web, creating a glowing tapestry of power.
