Chapter 192 Universe 13
"Stop thinking about that arrogant guy." Shadow Spider waved his hand.
What's done is done, there's no use dwelling on it. Spider-UK sighed, "Teams are hard to manage."
"You two are responsible for taking the corpse to 2099 and handing it over to Doctor Octopus." Spider-UK pointed to Shadow Spider and Mechanical Spider.
"Why?" Mechanical Spider was clearly resistant. The arrogant Doctor Octopus was indeed a headache.
"Stop complaining, come and give me a hand." Shadow Spider patted Mechanical Spider's shoulder. He was the instigator, so naturally he wouldn't complain. Mechanical Spider was just unlucky.
"Forget it." Mechanical Spider also knew what was important. While muttering about being unlucky, he still turned around to help.
"And we will head to Base Camp." Spider-UK turned to look at Yang Le and the others.
"That's where all the Spider-Men we've found are gathered. It's undoubtedly the most suitable place to say something. The girl you're looking for is there too."
"That's great." Yang Le said.
"Let's not delay, let's set off quickly."
"This way." Spider-Man 2099 directed everyone towards a portal.
————Divider Line————
Universe 13, in an open area far from the city, a group of Spider-Men, mostly the same but with slight differences, were gathered together.
They were in groups of twos and threes, all choosing to stay with those they could chat with.
Gwen was the same. Sitting beside her were Peni, Ultimate Peter, 616 Peter, and Miles, chatting idly.
Compared to when she first arrived and was alone, it was undoubtedly much better now. It's just a pity that the worry in her heart hadn't lessened with time. After all, the matter hadn't been resolved, and she couldn't go back and put her family in danger.
Fortunately, she had met people she knew and could relieve her worries by chatting.
Through a period of communication, Gwen also learned about everyone's current situation. Peni, relying on her SP//dr, was dominating in her own Universe, and no one was their opponent.
Ultimate Peter had become a mentor, responsible for teaching Miles how to become a qualified Spider-Man.
616 Peter was the one who had changed the most. After returning, he first lost his belly, then became a freelance journalist and photographer. Relying on Spider-Man's ability, he took some amazing photos, not only earning money but even winning awards with the photos.
With life back on track, he dressed smartly in a suit and went to find Mary Jane, but happened to see someone pursuing her. Peter, who had turned over a new life, wouldn't let happiness slip away again.
He gritted his teeth and used his prize money to buy the apartment Mary Jane had always wanted to live in. He also used his journalist's pay to get a fancy new car, dressing himself up smartly and waiting for her at Mary Jane's work every day.
Mary Jane still had feelings for Peter. Peter, this blockhead, was launching such a fierce offensive, how could she possibly resist?
From initial ignoring, to later being able to talk, and then to tacitly allowing Peter to take her to and from work, the situation began to improve little by little. It's just a pity that when faced with Peter's request for remarriage, Mary Jane always changed the topic.
Peter knew that he had hurt this woman too deeply. Even though Mary Jane had made all the preparations, he still left her because of his cowardice. He didn't blame her for being like this now.
Peter worked even harder. He bought a diamond ring again, and then on the day he first proposed, he proposed to Mary Jane again.
However, inside the ring box wasn't a diamond ring, but a baby pacifier. Peter's meaning was, "I'm ready now."
Mary Jane first slapped Peter, and then accepted the proposal with tears in her eyes. Only then did Peter take out the prepared diamond ring and put it on her.
"I knew you could do it." Ultimate Peter put his arm around 616 Peter's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Putting a pacifier in the ring box, how did you even think of that?"
"I was forced into it." 616 Peter scratched his head embarrassedly. Being an uncle already and still doing this kind of thing was indeed embarrassing.
"It's indeed very romantic." Peni clasped her hands together, with stars constantly appearing in her eyes.
"Mhm." Gwen also nodded in agreement.
Miles, on the other hand, couldn't quite join in the conversation. Speaking of which, he wasn't very familiar with these people. On the contrary, he was a bit awkward because of the duel with Yang Le before. If Ultimate Peter hadn't been here, he wouldn't have come.
But after hearing 616 Peter's words, he became a little lovesick. Looking at Gwen sitting there alone, his dormant heart came alive again.
It's just a pity that Gwen hadn't looked at him once from beginning to end. He couldn't even find an opportunity to talk to her.
Just as Miles was still looking for an opportunity to talk to Gwen, in the center consciously cleared by the Spider-Men, a portal appeared again.
"The door opened again." Peni was the first to notice the portal.
"I really don't know what kind of Spider-Man will appear this time. Will there be a rabbit Spider-Man?"
"Even there are pigs and monkeys, a rabbit isn't that strange, right?" Gwen also looked at the portal. The next Spider-Man had already become a regular program here. After all, everyone was very bored and always needed to find something to do.
"M-maybe there will be... a dinosaur." Miles quickly interjected. Being too nervous made him stutter a bit, but he managed to say it. This was the first time he had spoken to Gwen in a long time, or so he thought.
Gwen didn't respond, nor did she pay attention to Miles. The air became a bit awkward for a moment. Before the two Peters could ease the atmosphere, someone had already walked out of the portal.
The first to come out were Spider-UK and Spider-Man 2099. After all, they were leading the way. Everyone looked past them, anticipating the appearance of the next one.
The first to appear was a plant alien. This immediately exceeded everyone's expectations. After all, their guesses were all about creatures. No one really expected a plant to come out this time.
"Could that be?" Peni put her hand on her forehead to see more clearly. She said suspiciously.
"Could it be... Swampfire?"
"It should be right." 616 Peter nodded. After all, he had only seen that Omnitrix symbol on Yang Le.
"Gwen, what do you think?" Ultimate Peter chose to ask Gwen. After all, she was the one who knew Yang Le best among them. But unexpectedly, Gwen didn't say a word. Instead, she stood up and walked towards the portal.
"What's wrong with Gwen?" Miles asked 616 Peter worriedly. After all, he was the one with the most life experience here, even though his first half of life was full of failures.
"I think you'd better not interfere." 616 Peter said with lingering fear.
"I know that look in Gwen's eyes. I saw it not long ago too. Mary Jane had that expression before she slapped me."
As soon as Yang Le walked out of the portal, he began to look for Gwen's figure. It didn't take much effort before he saw Gwen walking towards him.
"Hey! Gwen! It's Swampfire, I'm back!"
After all, Gwen hadn't seen Swampfire in his blooming state, so Yang Le thoughtfully explained loudly.
Sure enough, as soon as Yang Le explained this, Gwen's footsteps quickened, almost to the point of running.
Yang Le understood in his heart that Gwen was probably missing him too much and wanted to stage a 'returning swallow to its nest' scene. He immediately opened his arms, ready to welcome Gwen's embrace. But he didn't cancel his transformation, after all, Spider-Man's strength was too great, and he was afraid he wouldn't be able to catch Gwen.
"Come on, don't pity me just because I'm a delicate flower." Because he was in Swampfire state, Yang Le chose a particularly appropriate flirtatious line to say.
And Gwen also chose a particularly appropriate response.
She kicked Yang Le in the belly with one foot.
"Oh!" 616 Peter said thankfully.
"Mine didn't hurt this much."
