The first thing that caught Ron's eye was a white wall and an ordinary incandescent light bulb.
After seeing the wall and the light, Ron began to observe other things.
Ron saw white curtains, a white quilt, a white bed, and many medical devices beside the bed.
This should be a decent single patient room.
Knowing that he was in a hospital room, Ron frowned, lifted the quilt, and checked his body.
Looking at his somewhat rough white skin and the decent little thing below, Ron knew that this body should still be Ron Brunstad's body.
And the reason he was in the hospital room must be because he was sent to the hospital by his classmates and teachers after he fainted earlier, right?
"Oh no, how long have I been unconscious? What time is it now? Has the Columbia University exhibition started yet?"
Ron then remembered why he had fainted.
The Columbia University exhibition was scheduled for the day after he fainted, and that was Ron's best chance to gain Spider-Man's abilities.
Now he didn't know how long he had been unconscious. If he missed the mutated spider that bit Peter Parker and missed out on superpowers, where would he go to cry?
Ron fumbled around for a while and finally found his phone in his clothes pocket.
Looking at the date displayed on it, Ron became both excited and puzzled.
He was excited because the current time was actually the same day he fainted, just a few hours later, arriving in the afternoon of that day.
And what puzzled him was that he had spent so long in darkness and void, even transforming into a universe, yet only a few hours had passed in this Marvel world?
Oh right, where is 'Nothingness'? Is 'Nothingness' still here?
"Nothingness, are you still there?"
Remembering 'Nothingness' who had conversed with him before, Ron felt anxious and began to call out to 'Nothingness' in his mind, just like he did in the darkness and void before.
Immediately, Ron received a reply.
"Don't worry, I'm still here. I am you. As long as you don't die, neither of us will disappear."
The voice of 'Nothingness' echoed in Ron's mind, and Ron could feel that it seemed to be laughing happily.
Hearing the voice of 'Nothingness' again, Ron felt relieved.
He and 'Nothingness' had spent so long together in the dark void, and Ron already knew that 'Nothingness' was himself.
Subsequently, Ron's body developed its old problem again.
"Cough, cough..."
A violent coughing sound rang out, indicating that Ron's body was still just as weak!
"I must quickly get the Spider-Man superpower to improve my body!"
Ron frowned and began to rethink how he and Peter Parker would be bitten by the mutated spider tomorrow.
"Ron, I can feel that our current body doesn't seem to be in a very good condition. What is this...?"
At this moment, the voice of 'Nothingness' rang out.
Hearing the question from 'Nothingness', Ron smiled helplessly and told 'Nothingness' about his physical condition and the general situation of this Marvel world.
"It's like this, the world we are currently in..."
After listening to Ron's words, 'Nothingness' let out a sound of surprise, then became a little astonished.
It said, "You mean, in this world we are currently in, there are many very powerful beings, and some of the strongest beings can even destroy universes? And they might all eventually come to the planet we are on?"
Ron affirmed, "Yes, I can confirm that in just a few years, an extremely powerful being will come to Earth. Even if this being doesn't have the ability to destroy the universe, it's not far off."
Ron had watched many American comic movies and a few comics in his previous life, and he was considered a fan of American comics. He knew that in the American comic world, there were many characters whose strength could even destroy the world, such as the legendary Celestials, the Five Great Creation Gods, the Beyonders, the Watchers, and so on.
And besides these characters who could destroy the universe, even Thanos, who would descend on Earth in a few years, was extremely powerful, stronger than all the mutants and Avengers on Earth combined!
"Heh... if it's really as you say, then our future situation is indeed a bit difficult." When 'Nothingness' heard Ron's words, it exclaimed in surprise, then smiled with relief, and added, "However, we are not without a chance to become that powerful!"
"What chance?" Hearing 'Nothingness' say that he could actually become as powerful as Thanos, Ron became incredibly excited.
Compared to powerful beings like Thanos, Galactus, and the Beyonders, who casually destroy planets and universes, Spider-Man's spider superpowers were simply not worth mentioning.
The reason Ron went to great lengths to get Spider-Man's abilities was just to give his originally weak self a decent safeguard.
If 'Nothingness' really had a way to make him a being like Galactus, then would Ron still need to find a mutated spider to bite him?
Next, 'Nothingness' began to explain its method.
"Do you remember what we are? We are a universe, or rather, we are everything, all things. We can be anything!"
"Although we are very weak now, our biggest advantage is that we are now clearly aware of our own existence."
"Thus, we can autonomously evolve our universe, without waiting in chaos and void."
"I can feel that although we failed to evolve a universe before, we are not without the ability to continue evolving all things now."
As it spoke, 'Nothingness' also seemed to become excited: "I think we can try it now!"
"How do we try?" Hearing 'Nothingness's words, Ron eagerly asked, wanting to know the method of trying.
But at this moment, 'Nothingness' laughed even harder.
Finally, it said, "Have you forgotten? I am actually you. We are just talking to ourselves right now. 'I' and you both know this method, and everything that comes after."
Saying that, 'Nothingness' sighed softly, then continued, "That's enough. Talking to myself is really quite foolish. 'I' am leaving. Perhaps 'I' will come out and chat with you again in the future. Goodbye, 'I', and, me..."
With that, 'Nothingness' simply disappeared.
And after 'Nothingness' finished speaking these words, Ron immediately fell into a coma again.
Subsequently, Ron began to absorb everything from 'Nothingness'.
Or rather, everything he himself should have known!
...Meanwhile, in a large room at a certain institution named Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, a bald man wearing some kind of helmet device suddenly let out a sound of surprise, a little astonished.
He had discovered a new telepathically enhanced mutant being born.
The bald man kept his eyes closed, his mind continuing to search.
But for a long time, he did not find the exact location of the person who surprised him.
The bald man was a little unwilling and continued to search.
However, even until the bald man began to feel the burden of using his telepathic abilities, he still hadn't found that person.
Unable to find the person, the bald man finally stopped searching and took off the helmet from his head.
"Professor, what's wrong? What happened?" A man beside the bald man asked with concern, seeing the bald man's exhausted appearance.
"It's nothing serious, I just discovered a newly awakened mutant child and wanted to find out where he was," the bald man rubbed his head, easing his fatigue.
"Then, Professor, did you find where that child is?" The man beside him smiled and then continued to ask.
The bald professor gave a wry smile, "No, but I can roughly determine the location, it's in Queens."
The man was surprised: "He can actually evade your telepathy, Professor? Is this child a psychic mutant?"
The bald professor nodded, "Indeed, he is a mutant focused on psychic abilities, probably at the level of a Level 2 mutant, with the ability to block others' telepathy. His ability is quite good."
Upon hearing that it was only a Level 2 mutant, the man beside him frowned slightly, a little disappointed, and said, "Then, Professor, do we need to find this child and bring him to the school?"
"No need for now. We have more important things to do. After this matter is concluded, we can go look for this new mutant child!"
The bald man smiled, indicating that they didn't need to worry about this matter.
"Scott, let's go out..."
...On the other side, in a hospital in Queens, Ron, who was in a coma, slowly let out a sigh of relief.
In his dream, Ron was pursuing his original memories, but at this moment, he felt an extremely powerful force trying to invade his mind.
Ron immediately guessed that this powerful force was definitely Professor X's bug-level telepathic ability.
Although he knew Professor X wasn't a bad person, Ron still didn't want anyone else to enter his mind.
His mind held many secrets, and Ron wouldn't let anyone know them, no matter who it was!
He used all his mental power to resist Professor X's telepathy, and only then did he finally manage to prevent Professor X from invading his mind.
Feeling Professor X's telepathy disappear, Ron finally began to merge his memories again.
A long time passed, and then Ron finally found all his memories from when he had transformed into a universe, realizing what kind of abilities he possessed.
Feeling the indescribable dark spot in his consciousness, he suddenly opened his eyes and began to use his first ability.
In the next instant, something mysteriously appeared on his originally empty right hand.
It was a small stone that originally belonged to the starry sky!
