Ryan glanced at the dead Super Spider without surprise. In most Universes, Super Spiders are single-use; the one that bit Peter before was the same.
Ryan suspected this was related to the legendary spider totem that granted every Spider-Man their abilities.
However, through repeated testing, Ryan had confirmed that the Super Spiders of his Universe could grant Spider Abilities to anyone, provided the gene lock left by Peter's father was unlocked and the recipient's DNA was integrated.
Thus, Ryan was actually skeptical about the existence of the spider totem... at least it didn't necessarily exist in this Universe. After all, the spider totem didn't exist in every Universe, and the powers of Spider-Men in some special Universes were completely unrelated to it.
After waiting for a full hour, Ben went through the same process as Peter. First, his genes mutated, causing a fever, and then his physical attributes began to improve drastically across the board.
Finally, at a certain moment, Ryan and Peter's pupils constricted simultaneously as they looked at Ben. Invisible Spider-Sense fluctuations appeared above all three of their heads at once!
This was the sensation of encountering one's own kind!
This proved that Ben had succeeded; he too had become a Spider-Man!
The third possessor of Spider Abilities in this Universe was born—Three Spiders in one frame!
Ben's success completely dispelled Ryan's concerns, and he signaled that Gwen and May could begin as well.
Gwen was the second to release the Super Spider specially made for her. Seeing how brave her daughter-in-law was, May gritted her teeth and released the specially made Super Spider she was so afraid of.
After the two Super Spiders crawled out, Gwen's spider circled her fingers before choosing to bite her index finger.
As for May's Super Spider, perhaps sensing her fear, it didn't bite her immediately. Instead, it kept crawling all over the stiffened May!
May was already afraid of spiders, and the feeling of one crawling on her made her scalp tingle. She covered her mouth with both hands, on the verge of screaming.
Seeing this, the others didn't know how to help her. They couldn't exactly press the Super Spider's mouth onto her skin, so they could only cheer her on from the side.
Ben even started laughing nearby, showing no pity for his wife at all.
Finally, once May was shaking all over, the Super Spider containing her DNA seemed to have had its fill of fun. It stopped on her neck and bit down.
Another hour passed, and Gwen and May experienced the same process as Peter and Ben: a fever followed by a massive increase in physical fitness.
When Ryan sensed the same Spider-Sense from May and Gwen, he knew that at this moment, the true Spider Family was born!
The fake Spider Family only had Ryan and Peter with actual Spider Abilities.
The real Spider Family—every member of the Parker Family possessed Spider Abilities!
Well, except for Harry... but Harry was only Ben and May's adopted son and kept the Osborn surname, so he wasn't technically a true Parker.
Besides Harry, even Gwen would change her name to Gwen Parker after marrying Ryan in the future. So, saying Gwen was a member of the Parker Family was perfectly accurate!
Finally, after the three of them had familiarized themselves with their powerful post-mutation strength for a while, Ryan grinned at them. "Alright, Dad, Mom, Gwen. Now that you've obtained Spider Abilities, it's time for the next step..."
Hearing this, the three of them looked at Ryan in confusion. "What next step? Isn't getting the abilities enough?"
What they didn't see was that Peter and Harry, upon hearing Ryan's words, had already silently backed away several steps, their eyes filled with pity for the three... Poor Dad, Mom, and Gwen, they had no idea what kind of hell they were about to face... Ryan cracked his neck, and his aura suddenly shifted from'steady' to 'heavy'!
It was so heavy that the Spider-Senses of the three who had just gained their powers triggered involuntarily. They also saw the tri-colored giant spider phantom that Peter had seen behind Ryan before!
Furthermore, after several upgrades, Ryan was no longer the same as before. The pressure he and the giant spider phantom exuded was even stronger than when Peter had faced him!
Even Peter and Harry, who weren't Ryan's primary targets, felt their scalps go numb at this moment!
Seeing the frozen expressions of Ben and the others—who could barely even move under his aura, let alone perform combat training—Ryan looked helplessly at Peter and Harry. He planned to have the two experienced boys join in to set an example.
"You two boys come join the combat training as well. Let me see if you've made any progress while I was away."
Peter and Harry, who had been watching the show, widened their eyes and pointed at themselves. "Huh? Us too???"
Ryan nodded ruthlessly. "That's right. You have experience, so you can set an example for them. I won't bully you; the five of you can come at me together. That's fair, right?"
The five people forcibly grouped together by Ryan looked at each other and swallowed hard. They didn't think this was fair at all!
Five against one—what kind of fairness was that?
Ryan should have fought with one hand behind his back to make it fair!
But Ryan didn't intend to give them a chance to object. He lunged forward, turning into a blur that bypassed Ben and the other two who couldn't react at all. He instantly appeared before the caught-off-guard Peter and Harry, grabbed each by the collar, and threw them toward a wall.
Crack——————
The wall Peter and Harry flew toward split open from both sides, sending them crashing into another all-metal, silver-white space.
That was the underground safe room and daily training room of Kingpin's house next door. After the Parker Family moved in, Kingpin had opened a secret door for them.
If Ben and May encountered danger, they could hide in his safe room through the secret door in the Underground Room.
And this spacious and sturdy safe room was perfect for training them.
After tossing the two boys, Peter and Harry, inside, a smile played on Ryan's face as he made a 'please' gesture to the stunned trio.
"I believe you wouldn't want me to personally send you in like I did with Peter and Harry. So, please..."
Ben frowned and stepped forward, saying solemnly, "Ryan, as the older brother, how can you treat your two younger brothers like that? And never mind them, I'm your father!"
"Oh." Ryan nodded, then reached out and grabbed Ben's collar too. Amidst a Tom Cat-like 'ow!', he threw him into the safe room next door as well.
Seeing that Ryan was serious, Gwen and May chose to enter voluntarily to avoid being 'sent' in by him.
Finally, under the five's gazes as if they were looking at a Great Demon King, Ryan was the last to step into the safe room. The moment he entered, without giving them any time to prepare, he charged at the five!
Thud————————
As the final figure was sent flying, in a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. Base, the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents guarding the Tesseract were wiped out.
Even Nick Fury, the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., was lying on the ground, his fate unknown!
