"I won't let you take Aaron away!"
"You bad spiders!"
At this moment, Peni stood in front of Aaron, and the spider-mech looked at them with wary eyes, as if they were enemies.
Peni didn't understand why Aaron became a prisoner just for saving May. This was clearly a win-win situation, so why were these two Spider-Men acting so strangely?
They were definitely not Spider-Men!
Peni removed Miguel and Jessica Drew from the Spider-Man roster in her mind.
"It's alright, Peni. I'll go with them and be right back." Aaron patted Peni's head.
Peni looked up at Aaron's "bitter," "forced" smile, and her heart clenched.
Aaron saved May, yet he was misunderstood and even treated like a criminal by the other Spider-Men.
She wouldn't allow it!
If the Spider-Men from other worlds were like this, then Peni wouldn't mind treating them as enemies.
No one could take Aaron, not even the other Spider-Men.
Except for Gwen...
Peni's expression was resolute, and a hint of danger appeared on her adorable face.
Compared to when May died, her state was even more depressed.
May stood behind Aaron, looking worried.
Seeing this, Miguel knew that if he didn't explain things clearly, Peni would truly fight them to the death.
Coupled with Aaron, whose background was unknown...
Miguel could only reveal everything about the Cannon Event to Peni.
Upon learning the cruel truth of the Cannon Event and the fatalism that May must die, Peni's expression became even gloomier and harder to accept.
"No, that's impossible!"
"Why must Aunt May die? She is clearly alive. Aaron changed this fate."
Peni looked at May and shook her head repeatedly.
"You must be lying to me."
"Lying to you? There's no need for that."
Miguel's expression was somewhat downcast. "Because I already ruined it once. My family died in an accident."
"But during a space-time traversal, I found another Universe where my family was alive, but 'I' was dead."
"I took his place and lived happily with my family."
"A beautiful and gentle wife, a lovely daughter... everything was so wonderful, wasn't it?"
"I always thought this was a solution that benefited everyone, but... facts proved I was wrong."
"I watched helplessly as my family, friends, and countless familiar or unfamiliar people quietly vanished before my eyes."
"That Universe disappeared, turning into nothingness because of my stupidity."
After composing himself for a long time, Miguel looked up again, all regret and gloom swept away, replaced by unshakeable resolve.
"We are Spider-Men, we are Superheroes. We can change some things, but there are some things that cannot be changed."
"We cannot have everything. To become Spider-Man, sacrifices must be made."
"This is our job, our duty."
"The moment we become Spider-Man, we must learn to accept it, Peni Parker."
"You are not alone."
"We... all are."
Without anyone noticing, a circle of Spider-Men had surrounded them. At least thirty Spider-Men had completely sealed off the area.
Although these Spider-Men didn't speak, they silently agreed with Miguel's statements. They had all lost loved ones, without exception.
Peni's face slightly changed.
"Now, we must save the Multiverse. Before you break time and space, we must return everything to its rightful place."
"Now, while there is still time..."
Miguel looked at May with a headache.
Spider-Men do not kill.
But how should May be dealt with?
This was the biggest problem.
"Perhaps we can try to take her away. According to the development of this world, May was originally devoured by the Symbiote Core."
"As long as she never returns to Universe 14512, then the original canon event should be fine?" Jessica Drew said uncertainly.
"That's the only way."
Peni could not accept this fact.
Inn Across the Spider-Verse, Peni spoke words of surrender to Miles.
But one was an event that had already happened and couldn't be reversed and the other was an event that had happened but had already been reversed.
Peni still had a chance to change things, so she was naturally not so depressed and gloomy.
Just like Miles.
If he didn't know the truth and only learned it after his father died, no matter how unwilling he was, he would have to accept the reality of the Cannon Event.
But if he knew beforehand... no one could accept the pain and despair of watching their closest relative die right in front of them.
Perhaps, except for Bruce Wayne?
But not everyone is Batman.
When May heard these words, although she was a little scared, if the situation was truly that serious, she would rather die.
"Peni..."
She was about to say something when Aaron spoke up at that moment, "Not necessarily."
"Perhaps there is another solution."
His words were like a sudden clap of thunder, causing the surrounding Spider-Men, who were acting as background, to start whispering.
A light named hope appeared before Peni's eyes.
Miguel snorted, "Impossible."
"No one understands the Cannon Event better than I do."
"I am a firsthand witness, and I only reached these conclusions after studying countless Universes."
"You? Absolutely impossible."
In the face of data, Aaron's solitary statement was not trustworthy at all.
However, Peni trusted Aaron completely.
"What is the solution?"
Aaron hesitated for a moment, ultimately choosing not to reveal the best solution.
According to his deduction, because of the existence of the Primordial Furnace, the timeline of his Universe was extremely stable.
What about space then?
Even if the Web of Life and Destiny existed in his world, would the shattering of the Cannon Event truly cause his Universe to be destroyed?
Not necessarily.
According to Miguel's description, the destroyed world looked very much like it had been erased from the temporal branch level.
In other words, the world where Aaron was located had no reason to be afraid of this at all.
Of course, the best solution would undoubtedly be to become Aaron's woman.
To have intimacy with him, preferably 'negative distance' contact.
In that case, even if the temporal branches of the entire Universe were destroyed, it wouldn't affect them.
But...
Aaron glanced at the elderly May.
He couldn't bring himself to say it.
So he switched to a different method.
"If you and your family go to my Universe, the Cannon Event will never come true."
"Even if something happens, I can resolve it immediately." Aaron stated confidently.
Peni recalled the battle at the Super Collider, when the Brooklyn District was about to be swallowed by a black hole because of Kingpin. It was Aaron who easily smoothed out the spatial fluctuations.
He saved the world.
If it was Aaron...
"What kind of international joke are you making?"
Miguel sneered, "The Cannon Event cannot be broken. May must 'die,' and Peni and she are destined never to see each other again."
"If you take May and Peni to your Universe, what if your Universe is affected and destroyed?"
Aaron shot him a glance. "That's none of your business."
Peni, however, hesitated. She didn't want to destroy Aaron's Universe because of herself. Furthermore, she couldn't leave this world.
Because...
She was the only hope for this world.
Without her, the monsters that came from who knows where would destroy the Earth and even this Universe.
