As soon as he thought that this "newcomer" might be his version from another universe, Peter Parker immediately became very interested.
He wanted to know whether his other self was a good or bad person.
And most importantly, whether he had made the same mistake as him and unintentionally caused Uncle Ben's death?
[Peter Parker (Spider-Man Universe 1): Hello? Where am I? Am I dreaming? Why do I see some kind of screen in front of me?]
[Peter Parker (The Amazing Spider-Man): This "other me," I only have one question for you. Have you already been bitten by a spider?]
[Peter Parker (Spider-Man Universe 1): Huh? How do you know that?]
Standing in his room, Peter swallowed as he looked at the screen before him.
In fact, ever since childhood, he had been the kind of person who was smart but physically weak.
Although he had good grades, he was often bullied by thugs, and it was quite common for others to look down on him.
But just yesterday, while Peter was visiting a spider exhibition, he had accidentally been bitten by a genetically modified spider containing the genes of three different spider species.
After that, he gained incredible powers.
Not only had his physical abilities improved drastically, but he could also shoot powerful, sticky webbing from his hands!
After discovering his newly acquired superpowers, Peter was extremely excited and kept testing them.
But in the end, because of a lack of control, he swung straight into a wall with his webbing.
Peter had not told anyone about it.
Then how could the person on that strange screen know?
Moreover, why did that person have exactly the same first and last name as him?
[Peter Parker (Spider-Man Universe 1): Who are you? Why do you have the same first and last name as me? And how do you know that I was bitten by a spider?]
[Peter Parker (The Amazing Spider-Man): If you were bitten by a spider, then you will probably gain superpowers. But that is not important right now.]
[Peter Parker (The Amazing Spider-Man): I have to ask you something very important. Were you raised by Uncle Ben and Aunt May? Is Uncle Ben still alive?]
[Peter Parker (Spider-Man Universe 1): What are you talking about? Of course Uncle Ben is alive! He is still alive.]
"Huh... he is still alive."
Peter breathed a deep sigh of relief and finally relaxed.
[Peter Parker (The Amazing Spider-Man): In any case, remember this. In the future, never, for any reason, deliberately let a criminal escape. Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life!]
[Peter Parker (Spider-Man Universe 1): Uh... I do not understand what you are talking about.]
[Peter Parker (The Amazing Spider-Man): Just remember my words.]
After Peter withdrew his consciousness from the chat group, he suddenly noticed that several familiar people around him were looking at him.
"Haha, Peter, you have even started teaching others."
Tony extended his hand and patted Peter on the shoulder several times.
"Not bad. It looks like you really have grown up. But did you bring that spider?"
"Mr. Stark, your hands have become really strong."
Peter frowned from Tony's pat, then carefully took a glass box out of his clothes.
Inside was a strange spider.
"Oh, sorry. My strength has increased a little over the last few days, and I am still not completely used to controlling it."
Tony casually apologized and gestured for Peter to place the glass box on the floor, after which he picked it up himself.
Seeing this, Strange, who was standing to the side, frowned.
"Tony, your obsession with control is becoming serious. Do you want me to recommend a good doctor in New York?"
"You do not need to worry about me. I am perfectly fine."
Tony rejected Strange's offer without even looking back.
But after taking only one glance at the mutated spider in the box, he suddenly frowned and looked at Peter.
"Wait. I only patted you just now and it already hurt. Has the spider not bitten you yet?"
Peter scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.
"I still could not make up my mind."
As though remembering something, Peter quickly added:
"But I have already started patrolling the streets at night with Venom and catching criminals!"
When he said that, a smile appeared on Peter's face.
"When Venom fully activates, I look like a monster, so people on the streets now call me Monster Man."
"And you are happy about that? I truly do not understand you."
Tony shook his head, and the expression on his face was like that of a father looking at a disappointing son.
Peter then turned and looked at Erik, who appeared cautious like a beast trapped in a cage, and approached him in a friendly manner.
"Hello. Welcome to the live broadcast room."
Seeing Peter's open and harmless face, the expression on Erik's face softened slightly, but he still asked in a deep voice:
"Who are you? Why did you capture me?"
"Capture you?"
Peter shrugged and helplessly said:
"If you look at it that way, then this system captured all of us."
Seeing the confused expression on Erik's face, Peter gently reassured him:
"Do not worry. Although this system is somewhat violent and does not ask us for permission, it will not just hurt us for no reason."
"If you do not want to take any risks, just stay here and watch the broadcast. When it ends, you will be able to return home."
After that, Peter scratched his head and asked somewhat confusedly:
"Sorry, is your name Magneto?"
Erik frowned and said in a deep voice:
"My name is Erik Lehnsherr. I have no idea who Magneto is."
The moment he said that, Erik's heart shook again.
Magneto...
Was that a name for a man who controlled magnetism?
But although he could now control magnetism, he still did not have such a nickname.
"No, this system has never made a mistake so far."
Little Wanda looked suspiciously at Erik, and Erik returned her gaze.
The moment their eyes met, Erik was briefly stunned, then his eyes settled on Wanda and he could no longer look away.
"What is it? Why are you looking at me like that? What do you want?"
Seeing Erik openly staring at her, little Wanda looked at him contemptuously, then quietly muttered:
"What is this now? Did the system really bring in some pervert this time?"
"This little girl..."
Erik's face stiffened after Wanda openly scolded him, but he soon relaxed again and quietly smiled bitterly.
This was the first time in his life that someone had not attacked him because he was a Mutant, but had instead mistaken him for a pervert!
That feeling was actually quite new to him.
Looking at Erik's expression, Wanda became even more cautious.
She had scolded him, and not only had he not become angry, he had even smiled.
It seemed this guy was an even bigger pervert than she had thought!
At that moment, someone spoke in the chat group.
[Charles Xavier: Erik, are you okay? Can I help you somehow?]
[Magneto: This chat group really allows messages to be sent through thought alone. Incredible.]
[Magneto: But this kind of application of mental abilities probably has nothing to do with you, Charles.]
[Charles Xavier: Erik, if you continue being so suspicious of everything around you, you will have a hard time making new friends.]
[Charles Xavier: Also, what does that name "Magneto" beside your name mean?]
[Magneto: Do not ask me. I do not know either.]
[Wolverine: It is strange for me too. Why does my name here say Wolverine?]
[Charles Xavier: Mutant friend, what is your actual name?]
[Wolverine: If I tell you my name, will you then use your mental powers to completely control my mind? You can only dream!]
[Charles Xavier: ...]
[Nick Fury: Mental abilities? Is that some kind of superpower? And what is a Mutant? The name of some organization?]
[Magneto: Man! Do you not even acknowledge the name of my race? Do you want to erase the very existence of Mutants as well?]
[Nick Fury: ...]
Seeing such a completely unexpected reaction, even Fury began to doubt.
Was it possible that this guy called Magneto was truly mentally unstable, just as the little girl had said?
[Wanda Maximoff: I am sure. This Magneto really has something wrong with his head. Stay away from him. Be careful that he does not suddenly go crazy.]
"Cough."
Peter coughed, then looked at Wanda and carefully said:
"Since all of us have already ended up in this live broadcast room, I think it would be best if we tried to get along."
"Hmph! You always have to pretend to be the good guy."
Wanda quietly snorted, but did not continue the argument.
Seeing this, doubt also appeared in Magneto's heart.
Just now, he had clearly said in the chat group that he was a Mutant.
But why had none of these people shown any special reaction?
At that moment, the large screen in the live broadcast room suddenly lit up.
A completely new projection began.
[The next content to be displayed is "Doctor Strange."]
[On the screen, a surgeon was operating on a patient.]
Seeing that scene, Strange suddenly took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.
When the doctor on the screen removed his mask after the operation and revealed his face, almost everyone in the live broadcast room turned their gaze toward Strange.
Feeling their gazes, Strange slightly shrugged and calmly said:
"Fine. Now all of you have seen it. This recording shows my story."
"And I am fairly certain that you will soon see some less pleasant parts of my life."
"So I apologize in advance."
Seeing Strange's indifferent demeanor, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room calmed down again.
At the same time, Erik's gaze became deeper.
"Judging from the current situation, this screen displays the life paths of the people invited into this room?"
"Is that the past and future the system mentioned just now..."
Thinking about that, Erik's heart shook violently.
His past, especially his childhood spent in a concentration camp, was something he absolutely did not want anyone to see!
Then, just as Strange expected, the screen showed his car accident and the moment when his hands were severely destroyed.
Watching himself unshaven, exhausted, and desperate, yet still obsessed with finding a cure, Strange quietly shook his head inwardly while at the same time feeling a certain sense of relief.
Fortunately, thanks to answering correctly earlier, he had obtained the mysterious Horse Talisman, which had completely healed his hands.
Otherwise, he would probably have had to wait until he became Sorcerer Supreme in the future to heal them.
[The image continues.]
[After completely losing hope, Strange found the path to Kamar-Taj through a man named Jonathan Pangborn, who had miraculously recovered from paralysis.]
[There, he met his guide, the black sorcerer Mordo.]
[Under Mordo's guidance, Strange entered the hall of Kamar-Taj and met the bald sorceress Ancient One.]
[Looking at the woman before him, Strange could no longer suppress his curiosity and asked:]
["Did you heal a man named Pangborn who was paralyzed?"]
[The Ancient One poured tea and, without raising her gaze, replied: "In a manner of speaking."]
["You helped him walk again," Strange said.]
[This time, the Ancient One raised her head: "Yes."]
[After receiving an affirmative answer, Strange's expression immediately changed:]
["How did you heal completely damaged C7 and C8 sections of the spinal cord?"]
[The Ancient One then told him that she could guide Strange's body to heal itself.]
[When Strange heard this, he became extremely excited and incorrectly concluded that it was some kind of extremely advanced cellular regeneration technology.]
["This is cutting-edge medical technology."]
["Is that why you conduct research in a place like this? Because there is no one here to supervise you?"]
[But he could never have imagined that the Ancient One would directly say:]
["No, Mr. Strange. I know how to use the spirit to better heal the body."]
[The moment he heard that, the hope on Strange's face instantly transformed into extreme anger.]
["I do not believe in chakras or spiritual energy! I do not believe in the power of faith!"]
[Strange stood before the Ancient One and shouted loudly:]
["You think you have seen through me? But I saw through you from the very beginning."]
[He was so angry that he even pointed his finger directly at the Ancient One.]
Seeing his behavior on the screen, Strange could no longer bear it. Helplessly, he raised his hand and covered his eyes.
Now that he already knew what would happen, he could guess the next scene.
He simply did not want to watch it again.
[The Ancient One's expression changed. With one hand, she grabbed Strange's rudely extended arm, then swung the other and struck his body.]
[Bang!]
[The Ancient One did not use great physical force, but with a single strike she knocked Strange's astral form out of his body!]
