Aaron tried to search the surroundings for any existing webs but he found nothing. That thing seemed to have no physical form. Instead, it was an invisible, intangible thread.
Aaron thought for a moment, intent on experimenting with the web's existence.
He secretly controlled the Shadowman to separate from Peni's shadow,
Peni didn't see this scene, but the Venom Mech's eyes widened, looking behind her as if seeing a ghost.
"What in the world is this thing?"
Even VEN#m felt this was too bizarre. It actually saw a shadow transform into a person.
This is unscientific!
Peni subconsciously turned her head, only to see the Shadowman grow to three meters tall, even surpassing the spider-mech and Symbiote Mech.
Peni was puzzled.
A voice suddenly appeared in her mind.
"Don't be afraid, it's me."
"Aaron!"
Peni's eyes widened, and she slowly emerged from her dark state.
'Aaron is watching me? Has he always been protecting me from the shadows?'
Aaron's appearance lessened the despair in Peni's heart.
Under Aaron's control, the Shadowman's hands stretched out like rubber.
VEN#m didn't understand how a two-dimensional shadow could become a three-dimensional life form. It instinctively tried to dodge. But the Shadowman could precisely predict its movements, arriving before its next action. It was as if VEN#m was actively leaning into the Shadowman.
"Damn it, what the hell are you?" VEN#m asked.
The Shadowman's strength was astonishing. Even as powerful as the Symbiote Mech, it couldn't resist the Shadowman's strange power.
At this moment, a black hole seemed to appear in the Shadowman's head. Aaron's tall figure walked out of the black hole.
"Aaron!"
Peni quickly jumped out of the spider-mech and hugged Aaron.
Her eyes welled up with tears. "The Symbiote Mech ate Addy and Aunt May."
"Don't panic, let me see."
Under the Symbiote Mech's terrified gaze, Aaron walked in front of it, his hands like a cutting machine, easily slicing open its abdomen, revealing the empty cockpit inside.
The cockpit was empty, with only some dirty tentacles.
Aaron was very familiar with this thing, it was the Symbiote core.
"This is the SYM Engine Core, how... how could there be no one?"
"Are Aunt May and Addy really dead?"
Peni sadly hugged Aaron.
Through Peni's mind, Aaron gradually gained a preliminary understanding of this world.
Universe 14512 is a world similar to Neon Genesis Evangelion.
This world often faces monsters of unknown origin who attempt to destroy the world.
So the Osborn Industries and the government of this world launched a Spider Project. They used telepathic spiders and spider-mechs, in conjunction with pilots, to fight against the monsters.
The spider-mech was the first and only mech they built.
Initially, Peni's father was the mech pilot, but he died in a battle.
Because only people with special genes in their bodies could be compatible with the spiders, nine-year-old Peni took on the mission to protect the world, standing on the front line against monsters.
For five years, she had been fighting monsters.
Then Osborn Industries started causing trouble. They discovered an alien life form, the Symbiote.
They used the Symbiote core to create the SYM Engine, thereby replacing the telepathic spiders and reducing the difficulty of mech control.
So they built the second Symbiote Mech – VEN#m.
But just like in countless Universes, Venom lost control.
VEN#m, which already possessed self-awareness, retaliated and devoured the pilot Addy, and also conveniently devoured May, who was trying to stop the mech from operating.
And in the memories, Aaron discovered two special characters.
They were Asuka and Rei, the female protagonists from Neon Genesis Evangelion.
The more Aaron looked, the more familiar it became.
Peni was Shinji, the protagonist of Neon Genesis Evangelion.
But VEN#m...
Aaron melted down the Venom of this Universe.
After devouring it, he obtained its memories of May and Addy, stored in the hyper-dimensional crystal.
After some thought, Aaron resurrected May and Addy.
This was not a problem for him.
He just needed to create a body, retrieve their souls and memories, and it would be done.
Peni was still sad when May's voice sounded from beside her ear.
"Peni?"
"Aunt May?!"
Peni looked up, seeing May and Addy appear perfectly intact.
She thought of something and suddenly looked at Aaron.
It was Aaron!
He saved them!
At this moment, Aaron was observing the surrounding situation. He suddenly looked to one side.
A spatial-temporal gate appeared.
Then, a male and a female Spider-Man walked out.
"Finally found you, interdimensional entity."
"You don't seem surprised to see us."
The male Spider-Man looked at Aaron's scrutinizing gaze with some surprise.
"No, actually, I am quite surprised, because I expected a different scenario. But the imagined situation didn't happen." Aaron shook his head, denying it.
He recognized them.
These two Spider-Men were Spider-Man 2099 Miguel O'Hara and Spider-Woman Jessica Drew from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
Neither of them were Parkers, but they were two very important characters in the Spider-Man worldview.
Especially the former.
He single-handedly created the Spider-Man Society, forming an elite team composed entirely of Spider-Men.
In his world, Earth's technology is very advanced, capable of traveling to other Planets at any time. Traveling to the moon only requires an elevator.
They created a travel bracelet that allows free traversal of the Multiverse.
This technology is even comparable to Kang's time technology.
Moreover, at their headquarters, there is even more similar black technology.
Aaron was very interested. Originally, he just wanted to see the so-called "Web," but now that he hadn't seen it, he couldn't have come all this way for nothing.
Isn't the Spider-Man Society a great place to 'stock up'?
Miguel frowned and exchanged glances with his assistant, Jessica.
Both were puzzled.
Aaron seemed to know something.
But if he really knew, why would he do such illogical stupid things?
"You know about that web?" Miguel probed first.
"The Web of Life and Destiny?"
Aaron glanced at May. "I'm not sure if that thing exists, so I decided to find it."
Miguel's expression turned slightly angry. "Since you know the seriousness of the matter, why did you save May and change the Cannon Event?"
"Just to find it? You're crazy."
Miguel couldn't imagine that Aaron would be so bold.
If he didn't know, it would be fine, but he clearly knew and did it intentionally, which was a crime.
"Now, please come back with us. Until we further confirm that you are not a threat, you are not allowed to enter other Universes."
Miguel's attitude was very firm, and he slightly crouched.
"Alright." Aaron readily agreed.
"You refuse to... huh? You agreed?!"
Miguel, who was about to forcefully intervene, was instantly dumbfounded when he heard Aaron say this.
No, shouldn't there be a fight at this point?
It was the normal procedure to beat Aaron into submission and then take him back to headquarters.
But now...
