Chapter 271 Black Cat's Wings
"So many Spider-Men?!"

Gwen made a surprised sound.

"Yes, there are about twenty or so. I mean those who can fight."

British Spider-Man said to Gwen, "Hopefully there are more on the way."

"I don't know."

Spider-Man from the main world asked: "Why do you say this place is safe? Is there anything special about this place?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a Spider-Man in a blue and white spider uniform floated from the air and moved in front of him holding a baby.

"I think I can answer that question for you."

Peter Parker looked at the new Spider-Man in surprise.

"I'm Captain Universe, nice to meet you."

The blue and white Spider-Man introduced himself as Captain Universe.

Captain Universe, one of the five great gods of the Marvel Universe - the Guardian of Eternity, is also the Spider-Man of Earth-13.

He has the ability to possess other bodies. When possessing a body, all attributes of the body are amplified and he has the ability to fly, physically control, control molecules, and use energy bombs.

His power after possession is determined by the personal willpower and imagination of the possessed person (host).

If the host has weak willpower, Captain Universe can only exert the abilities of an average street hero, but if the host has strong willpower, it may surpass the abilities of a cosmic god.

In addition, when possessed, all aspects of the host's disabilities (including mental) can be cured.

Captain Universe handed the baby in his hand to Dai Mei Parker.

"Thank you."

Deme took her brother from Captain Universe and placed her forehead against the baby's face.

"He is very important to me. He is my only family."

Peter Parker from the main world looked at Captain Universe. He felt that the Spider-Man in front of him who seemed to have telekinesis was not simple.

Captain Universe seemed to see what he was thinking and said, "I am different from the ordinary Spider-Man. I have the power of God. It would be foolish for the Inheritors to come looking for me. So you just need to stay in this world and I can protect your safety."

He said that Earth 13 is his own territory, where he can provide a safe haven for all Spider-Men.

"and many more!"

Gwen heard the problem here.

"Why don't you just go find the heirs and solve all the problems?"

The burly, bearded Captain Universe shook his head. "No, I can't. The mysterious power is bound to this dimension. If I leave, it will stay. Then I will be just another ordinary Spider-Man."

He turned his gaze towards Gwen and the others and continued, "But if having one more Spider-Man can make the situation better in the upcoming battle, then I will join in."

"fighting?"

Peter Parker in the main world was stunned. "What battle?"

Spider-Man 2099 took a step forward. "This is a war, and you are very important to us, Peter Parker."

Earth 65.

Queens alley.

Empty Valley Road.

A long one-way street that turns to gravel halfway down.

The black cat was wearing a uniform, standing on the rooftop of the building, gazing at the long road.

What she saw was a long tongue of asphalt, pitted and covered with fallen leaves, with trees bent over as if trying to strangle it, tear it apart, erase it from the world.

She pulled out her cell phone to see if she had received any text messages from Peter.

The last time Peter watched TV with her and left, he never replied to her messages.

Now she was a little worried about the other person's situation.

I wonder if those Spider-Men from other dimensions have had conflicts with Peter.

Looking up, I saw the gloomy sky starting to rain.

Soon the rain began to intensify. It was no longer just a curtain of mist, but had risen into a downpour.

"Well, I looked like a dishevelled, wet rat, and this wasn't the first time I'd seen this."

After complaining, the black cat jumped down from the rooftop with nimble movements.

Her original plan was to do a job for a shady jewelry company, but now it seems that the plan has to be put on hold.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure appearing in the darkness and then disappearing.

That's Peter?!
The black cat, vaguely recognizing it as Peter's, immediately stopped in its tracks.

After hesitating for a moment, she turned around and chased after the other person.

Peter seemed to be holding something, and her curiosity was immediately piqued.

Following Peter's figure, we tracked him to an alley.

As she continued walking, she suddenly heard footsteps from somewhere.

Usually, it's the fallen leaves, drifting down, struggling in the wind, scraping on the ground, and then finally being nailed to the road by the rain.

The black cat had heard a similar sound before, last time it was a squirrel.

A gray, furry creature flashed across a clearing, leaped up a tree, and wagged its tail toward her, as if threatening her or warning the other squirrels to leave.

Shaking his head, Black Cat threw these messy images out of his mind.

She turned around and saw Peter standing behind her, holding an egg bigger than an ostrich egg.

"Are you planning on coming to help, Felicia?"

Peter asked the black cat, "Why have you been following me for so long? Are you planning something bad?"

On Earth-616, after Peter got rid of Dr. Minerva, he entered his own world with this thing.

I didn't expect that I would be spotted by a black cat as soon as I arrived.

"Cats don't have bad intentions. Most of the time they are just curious, although their curiosity has caused a lot of trouble."

Chat Noir said with a shrug, his voice rising above the rustling of the rain in a small act of protest.

"Did you go to the eagle's nest and steal one of the eagle's eggs?"

The black cat turned his gaze towards the egg in Peter's hand and asked him.

"almost."

Peter felt the beating of life in the egg and said to the black cat, "The mother eagle will probably chase me relentlessly."

There was a low, roaring sound of thunder in the distance - like a tractor-trailer hitting a bump on the interstate, and the black cat's curiosity was immediately piqued.

"The rain is getting heavier. I don't think now is the right time to act. Do you mind if I buy you a meal?"

The black cat coughed and turned his attention to the egg in Peter's hand.

I don't know what kind of egg that is though.

But based on my experience as a thief, this thing should be very valuable.

She could feel the strange and vigorous vitality emanating from this thing.

Maybe it's the egg of some magical animal? !

Peter looked up at the sky and agreed to Black Cat's invitation.

"of course."

cafes.

The radio was playing the latest news.

"The players on the Phils baseball team haven't performed very well this year, but they are actually quietly accumulating strength—"

"--The rain will continue to intensify over the next four days, and we are on the brink of Tropical Storm Esmeralda--"

"Now a jazz collection from Zechitel, Mumbai, has become part of our global Café Sounds program—"

The black cat looked absentmindedly elsewhere in the cafe.

Someone had left a half-eaten sandwich on the table, on a tray.

They didn't even bite it with their mouths - they just cut it in half with a knife and left the other half lying there alone.

She caught a glimpse of a piece of ham, like a tease, like a girl showing a little thigh. "Ahem."

The black cat realized that something was wrong with his thoughts, and immediately blocked out these messy and unhealthy thoughts.

"So. What are you going to do with those Spider-Men?"

The black cat asked Peter who was enjoying his fast food.

"Let nature take its course."

Peter replied casually, biting off a large piece of beef.

The previous battle with Spider-Man from the main world caused him to suffer serious energy loss.

If he hadn't considered that the egg he had stolen might have some value, he would have eaten it long ago.

After all, this thing exudes a smell that attracts him all the time.

"So what are you going to do with your eggs?"

Peter picked up the coffee cup, thought for a moment and said, "Can you call a taxi for me?"

"taxi?"

Black Cat looked at him in surprise, "You can move freely in the city, why do you need a car?"

"because."

Peter sighed slightly, "I don't like swinging in the sky on rainy days, and holding such a conspicuous thing, what if I attract a guy like you again?"

"Me like this?"

The black cat's eyes narrowed, emitting a dangerous aura.

"Are you saying I'm a bad guy?"

Peter nodded pretentiously. "I can't say she's a bad guy, but I should say she's a woman with some ulterior motives."

He knew the character of the woman named Black Cat.

The other party is an untamed wild cat, not as simple as her own Gwen.

After the black cat helped Peter call a taxi, he said to him: "My ill intentions are only used on others, not you, Peter."

She showed a seductive expression and moved closer to Peter. "We are old acquaintances, aren't we?"

"jingle!"

Just as the black cat was about to continue its attack, a bell rang and the door opened.

A taxi driver asked loudly, way too loudly, "Hey, who booked a taxi?"

The black cat raised her hand and said, "It's me."

Fast forward a few minutes and Peter and the black cat are sitting in the back of a taxi.

The rain pattered on the windshield.

The wipers were swaying back and forth, and since the driver hadn't turned on the radio, all Black Cat could hear was the click, the swish, and the rustle of the rain-soaked tires.

She pressed the window and looked outside.

There was a chemical smell in the air, like an overdose of cheap shampoo, like Garnier that had been used to clean the entrails of a dead possum.

"What does that smell like?"

"What?" asked the taxi driver, apparently caught in the hypnosis of the road.

"This smell, this...chemical smell."

"Oh, that? Well, yeah, I rarely smell it anymore, sometimes it washes over the whole neighborhood and I can feel its powerful presence, but most of the time I just ignore it, you know?"

The driver said to the two men, "It is said that large wild animals have appeared in this area recently, and many pets and poultry have suffered. So the government sprayed some chemicals here, and it seems to have worked on those wild animals, although I think that stuff is completely useless."

After hearing this, the black cat looked at Peter.

She had a rough idea of ​​what the beast was.

After getting off the car, Black Cat followed Peter and looked at the villa in front of him which seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time.

Peter, standing in front of him, holding the giant egg in his hand, took a step forward.

The rain gradually subsided at this time.

A rustling sound came from the bushes.

Under the astonished gaze of the black cat, the alien "Queen" revealed her smooth head, then her entire body and walked quickly towards Peter.

Looking at the "Queen" interacting intimately with Peter, the black cat stood by in surprise, motionless.

The pressure emanating from the alien made her feel quite threatened.

"So, the large animal that the driver mentioned that caused harm to pets and poultry is your pet, right?"

The black cat asked Peter.

She suddenly remembered her lost pet - a little tiger.

She encountered this creature when she was at the place where her pet disappeared.

Could it be that his "little tiger" was eaten by Peter's pet? !
The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed to the black cat, and his mood immediately turned bad.

"That should be it."

Peter touched the Queen's smooth forehead and said to the black cat, "But it won't hurt humans."

"Yes, but he ate many pets, even my little tiger."

The black cat crossed his arms over his chest, "Don't you want to compensate me a little, Peter?"

Peter frowned, "What compensation do you want? Hardy."

Black Cat's pet cat was eaten by the "Queen" and he didn't argue.

His purpose of rushing here now is to place the eggs in the apartment here and let the "Queen" take care of them.

If he left it at home, he was afraid that this thing would hatch directly from its shell, which would cause a huge mess.

Let the "Queen" protect the egg, so that she won't be afraid of it breaking out of the shell and can also protect its safety.

Turning his thoughts to the matter at hand, Peter asked the black cat, "Do you want me to compensate you with a pet?"

"No, my pets are irreplaceable."

The black cat shook his head and looked into Peter's eyes.

"Maybe you can promise me another condition, such as taking me to another multiverse."

Peter frowned when he heard that Black Cat was interested in other multiverses, "You want to go to the multiverse."

"Yeah, don't tell me you can't do it."

The black cat looked at the "queen" who was curiously circling around the egg, and said to Peter, "You always have a way, right?"

"This is dangerous, Felicia."

"I know it's not an easy journey for anyone, but I thought, Peter, maybe I can see something different."

The black cat's eyes gazed into the dark night, with a different light flickering in them.

Peter guessed what she was going to do.

Black Cat has always been haunted by her father's death.

Maybe she wants to go to another parallel world to make up for her regrets.

Peter shook his head and said to her: "No matter how we make up for what happened in the past, it is impossible to restore everything. Fate is irreversible, Felicia, even in a parallel world."

The black cat didn't say anything, and suddenly she heard the sound of flapping wings.

Wings? Or an illusion?
She saw, or thought she saw, a crow flying through the rain and landing at the top of a tree.

The black cat had a hard time seeing the bird—just a black dot, like a shadow under an X-ray.

She blinked and saw more clearly. Her black eyes were as bright and shiny as buttons.

She took a breath and said to Peter, "I don't believe in fate, Peter."

Peter looked into the black cat's serious eyes, and after a moment's silence, he said:

"Trying to chase after past regrets in a parallel world is like a snake chasing its own tail, Felicia. It will be an endless parade of pain, a cycle of agony."
