Chapter 187: Mrs. Spider! The Inheritor Family is Coming!

Seeing the robber injuring the cyclist, Gwen immediately rushed towards him as fast as she could.

Now that she can’t transform into Spider-Man, she can only greet the opponent with her fists.

"Bang"!
Gwen's fist hit the shadow's body hard.

The tumbling black shadow immediately fell to the ground.

Just as Gwen was about to grab the other person, the guy lying on the ground jumped up.

Then, in the surprised eyes of Gwen and Peter, he rushed forward like lightning.

The guy whose body turned into a flash of lightning seemed to be a being with super powers.

Gwen looked at Peter in astonishment, "Is he a mutant? Or a super criminal?"

"I don't know, but if you need me, Gwen, I can help you catch him."

Peter said as his body was quickly covered with a black exoskeleton.

Although the opponent's movements were very fast, he, who had integrated the abilities of a vampire, would not be at a disadvantage in terms of speed.

Moreover, after using the gemstone transformed from the last page of the "Dark God Book" to build a spiritual bridge with the Alien Queen, he could feel that his body functions were slowly improving.

It seems that the power possessed by the Alien Queen also affects his body.

"This is the only way, Peter. I'll change my clothes first and you go after him!"

Gwen took a deep breath and immediately ran towards the fast food restaurant's restroom.

She usually carries her Spider uniform with her so she can change into it as quickly as possible in the bathroom.

Peter stared at the guy who looked like a mutant running away and chased after him.

The opponent is not only extremely fast, but also has climbing skills.

In a flash, he fled from the neighborhood where the two were.

Peter followed behind him at a leisurely pace.

But soon he seemed to realize something was wrong.

It seemed like this guy was deliberately guiding him to chase him.

After a few minutes, Peter stopped on a street.

This is a street in the Brooklyn area.

The roads here are crisscrossed, as dense as the web woven by a drunk spider.

Moreover, the ground here is full of potholes and looks desolate and vast. It seems that even a slight breeze can stir up dust, making people feel as if they have arrived on the surface of the moon.

Near him were houses one after another, with windows that looked like half-open, sleepy eyes and doors that looked like big mouths that were forever yawning.

Many houses seemed empty, and even if they were occupied, they were mostly occupied by dying people or the walking dead who were in a daze and indifferent to life or death.

It looks like a desolate neighborhood.

Gwen, wearing the Spider-suit, has caught up with Peter.

The two stood here, observing their surroundings.

"That family seems to have disappeared here. Is he hiding?"

Gwen said, frowning.

Peter said nothing as he walked to a house.

There was a shabby wooden mailbox standing on the dilapidated house in front of me. If you didn't look closely, it would be difficult to make out the shape of a spider.

The paint on the mailbox had long been mottled and peeling, and the spider-shaped mailbox seemed to be loose and squeaked in the wind.

The spider's body was tilted, as if after today it would fall off the stick it was perched on and die.

The raindrops fell on it, giving off a dark luster.

Peter reached out and touched the spider shape on the mailbox in front of him, and said to Gwen, "It's here. It seems that guy wants to lure us in here."

Peter walked up the steps while speaking to Gwen.

Gwen felt strange but followed Peter anyway.

With a creaky sound, Peter tried to push the door.

The door was not closed and was opened directly by Peter's push.

After a brief look at each other, Peter and Gwen entered the room.

The room looked very tidy; the owner had kept the house fairly tidy.

But many pieces of furniture still break up the room into crisscross patterns, like a maze.

Gwen took in the layout of the room and smelled something strange.

It seemed that she smelled a different scent here.

There was something on the distant stairs that seemed to catch her attention.

Gwen turned his head suddenly and saw a pair of golden eyes in the middle of the railing, staring at him.

Moving closer to the object, Gwen discovered that it was a cat, staring at her without shying away.

Peter also noticed the cat staring at Gwen, and he took two steps forward.

The cat that was staring at the two of them suddenly took a step forward and ran.

Gwen immediately chased after him.

For some reason, she always felt that the cat was leading the way for them.

After the black cat went into a room, Peter and Gwen also came to the door.

"Come in, Peter. I've been waiting for you for a long time, along with Gwen."

Peter was stunned when he heard this familiar voice.

The voice sounded familiar.

He immediately remembered that this was Mrs. Weber, whom he had met at New York Presbyterian Hospital.

The woman who held her own hand, predicted her future, and said that fate cannot be changed.

Thinking of this, he opened the door and walked into the room.

Gwen was a little surprised that the other party called out her and Peter's real names, and she followed Peter in.

Something about what came into view shocked Gwen.

In the center of the room, there was a dense metal spider web-like device that almost took up half of the room.

Connected in the middle of the device is an old woman.

The other person had a red dot on his forehead and was wearing sunglasses, looking calm and composed.

"This is."

Gwen glanced at Peter in shock.

Peter was also slightly surprised when he saw Mrs. Weber, who looked strange in front of him.

The last time I saw her, Mrs. Weber was just sitting in a wheelchair and her health was not as bad as it is now.

"Long time no see, Peter. I've missed you so much since we last parted at the hospital."

Mrs. Weber smiled and said, "I heard you've been doing well lately."

Peter looked behind her at the spider-web-like metal device connected to her and said to her, "Long time no see, Mrs. Weber. You don't look well."

"I suffer from myasthenia. The last time I met you in the hospital, the situation was not optimistic. Now, I am completely unable to move." Mrs. Weber did not seem to care about her physical condition. She looked at the metal spider web device behind her and said to Peter: "These are life support devices made by my late husband. I am using them to prolong my life temporarily. It is not too bad."

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you, Gwen."

Mrs. Webber turned her gaze to Gwen, "I'm Cassandra Webber. You can call me Mrs. Spider."

"Mrs. Spider?"

Gwen always thought the name was a little strange.

The other person's name also contains the word "spider" like his own.

Are there many spider superheroes in this world?
"Did you also control the attacker to lead us here?"

Peter looked around and asked her.

"I don't have that ability."

Mrs. Spider sighed and said, "That man was sent by a mutant named Tom Cassidy to kill me, but I predicted his arrival in advance, so I let you meet."

Gwen asked in amazement, "How did you do that? Where did the attacker go?"

She didn't quite believe that anyone could predict the future.

"It's simple. Fate sometimes arranges for many people to meet. I tried to make the time and place more coincidental. The rider picked up the mutant's things, so he tried to snatch them away. And by coincidence, you all encountered all this happening."

She paused and said, "As for where he is now? He is hiding now. Maybe he is lying in ambush in the dark, or maybe he has already left."

Gwen didn't quite believe what she said, "I don't understand, Mrs. Webber, why did you call us here?"

"I just saw what you were about to encounter, so I came to warn you."

Mrs. Spider smiled and said, "Kids, you two Spider-Men are not the only ones. Something in the distance is approaching you. It is a powerful force."

Hearing this, Peter became alert.

Spider-Man. A powerful force approaching?!

Could it be that Mrs. Spider was talking about the Heir Family? !

Gwen was still confused. "I want to know, Mrs. Spider, are you a witch?"

"Witch?"

Mrs. Spider was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"I'm not a witch. Compared to me, Peter next to you looks more like one."

She looked at Peter meaningfully and continued, "But my grandmother is a witch. Even when she was a little girl picking cranberries in the swamp, she had incredible abilities, which we often call "third eye". She can see things that ordinary people cannot see."

Hearing this, Peter glanced at the red spot on her forehead.

That's the Eye of Heaven, right?!
"However, her ability is not innate. It is acquired naturally in the process of observing and learning the world around her."

Mrs. Spider continued, “As long as she touches something, something natural, something that records the breath of nature, those things can let her see what is about to happen.”

“If she found snake bones in the swamp, she would turn them between her little fingers and swirl them around in her hand and watch the way the mud and water spun out, so she could see what would happen to her father later that day when he went to market, or how her sister would hurt her toenail.”

Mrs. Spider's words seemed to have a magical power, so neither of them interrupted her.

"She could tell the weather by the crumbs of cranberries she crushed in her palms, she could tell what birds roosted in a tree by simply placing her hand on the bark, and by twisting a baby rabbit's neck she might learn where the others were hiding."

Gwen listened to the other party's story, wondering why Mrs. Spider mentioned this to her.

She was a little suspicious, thinking that what the other party was talking about was probably not her grandmother's experience, but her own.

"So. This isn't magic?"

Gwen asked her after a moment's hesitation.

"Of course not, kid."

She paused and then said, "She told me not to be afraid of what I see, because what we see is only part of nature, and we can interpret natural things, such as bones, leaves, and fly wings, which can tell me what is about to happen."

"The world has its own strange way of being balanced. The things we can see are not magic. They are just as normal as seeing a mailbox or a person on the road."

Casting her gaze towards Peter, she said slowly: "It's just that she can see how everything is interdependent and counteracted."

"Allelopathy."

Peter listened to the other party's words and fell into deep thought.

"So. Mrs. Spider, you mean the Heir Family?"

Peter suddenly asked her.

Mrs. Weber had a look of surprise on her face.

She didn't expect Peter to ask directly.

"Yes, this is exactly the problem you are going to encounter. They are approaching you. This is the biggest crisis you are facing."

Mrs. Spider said with a serious expression: "But you will be the key, Peter. You are different from the Spider-Men in countless universes. You will restrain them, and they restrain all Spider-Men."

"I-I don't quite understand."

Gwen interrupted the conversation, "What is the Heir Family?"

"It's a vampire and a hunter!"

Mrs. Spider said to the two: "The so-called heirs are a clan of totem hunters from other dimensions. They are the lowest level of all totems in the multiverse, connecting the animal and human kingdoms."

"Because they can only parasitize on the power of others and absorb their power to make themselves stronger, they feed on animals, human totem incarnations and totems of gods. They are also called vampire totems."

Gwen was completely stunned listening to the other party's story.

Is there such a thing in the universe? !
"There was a prophecy in the Heir Family that predicted that the family would end up at the hands of Spider-Man at some point in the future. So in order to avoid the destruction of the family, the entire Heir Family immediately began a hunt for Spider-Man and began to specifically hunt down Spider Totems."

Mrs. Spider said, looking at both Peter and Gwen, "That includes you, of course."

Peter pondered for a moment and asked the other party: "Now, how many Spider-Men have they killed?"

Mrs. Spider seems to know a lot about the Heir family.

She said to the two of them: "What I know is that when the Heir Family learned that the God of the Spider Totem existed in the 'Master Weaver', the family leader Thoros led the family and captured the Spider God Master Weaver."

Madame Spider reveals the secrets of the Heir family.

"and after?"

Gwen continued to ask.

"Later, when the Heir family realized the power that the Master Weaver possessed, he decided to spare the creature's life so that he could use it in the Heir's service."

"Now they are beginning to use the abilities of the Weaver Master to travel between dimensions and seek out and hunt all Spider Totem incarnations across the multiverse."

Gwen felt a little cold when she heard this.

No wonder I saw such horrific scenes in my dreams.

The bodies of countless Spider-Mans were piled up like a mountain and displayed in front of him.

Are those hunted Spider-Men the Spider-Men hunted by the Inheritors from different dimensions?

Will this happen to me and Peter?!

"Before they started hunting down Spider-Man in the main universe, the Inheritors had already killed countless Spider-Men in the multiverse. Their goal is to kill all Spider-Man superheroes in the multiverse."

When Peter heard this, he suddenly remembered that the other party had also mentioned the name of the weaving master in his dream last time.

I don’t know if Reed’s time machine is completed, but it seems that group of people are about to find their own universe.

Just then, a "click" sound was suddenly heard outside the room.

It seemed as if someone's footsteps were touching the floor.
