Chapter 568: Another question
Harry Osborn transformed into the Green Goblin and teamed up with Electro to cause trouble for Spider-Man. However, the young Spidey was unaware of the impending danger, as he had just resolved his inner turmoil and was ready to embrace his love.
Gwen was about to leave, and Peter Parker used his web to write a giant "I LOVE YOU" on the bridge. After watching the video left by her father, Spidey was encouraged and finally decided to stop running away from his feelings for Gwen.
They embraced, and Peter Parker told her that he would follow her to the UK, to London, to fight crime together and never be apart again.
These young lovers, who had faced many obstacles since falling in love, finally reached a happy ending. This brought relief to many viewers, though some had a bad feeling. "It feels like a knight telling his wife he will marry her when he returns from the battlefield, or saying they will retire after one last job... I have a feeling something bad is going to happen."
Nevertheless, the scene in the video was indeed romantic. The handsome man and beautiful woman received countless blessings from the audience. Compared to Toby's Spider-Man girlfriend Mary Jane, people preferred the beautiful, intelligent, and gentle Gwen, feeling that such a good girl deserved Spider-Man.
However, their romance was soon disrupted. Electro was already on the move, having gone to the power plant like a mouse in a granary, greedily absorbing the omnipresent electricity. The current spread everywhere, turning the power plant into his domain.
Electro continuously consumed the city's electricity, causing lights to go out and darkness to envelop the city. Peter Parker sensed something was wrong and prepared to help. He first ensured Gwen was safe, handing her over to the police maintaining order. But Gwen was worried and wanted to go with him.
Spider-Man had no choice but to web her to a police car, then went to face Electro. Electro could enhance his power by absorbing electricity, and he was very familiar with New York City's power grid, having helped design it. Using the grid that spanned the city, he could almost teleport like a god.
Spider-Man caught up with him, and after a chase, they arrived at the power plant. This was Electro's absolute domain, and he had deliberately lured Spider-Man here. Spidey tried his old trick of using water pipes to attack him with water, but Electro, now much stronger, was unaffected.
A fierce battle ensued. More accurately, Spider-Man was dodging and getting hit. Electro could almost teleport here and constantly fired powerful currents. It was hard for Spider-Man to fight back. He managed to knock Electro away, but Electro got back up shortly after.
After a tough battle, Spider-Man was on the losing side, getting beaten and even bound by electric currents used as ropes. His situation was dire.
Electro's combat style was very flashy, using electric currents to teleport and float in the air, truly like a god. Naturally, the audience was cheering for Spider-Man, believing that even if he was at a disadvantage, he would eventually win and save New York City.
At this moment, the video paused and a new question appeared inappropriately:
[With whose help did Spider-Man/Peter Parker, ultimately defeat Electro?]
[A: Harry Osborn
B: New York Police
C: Gwen Stacy
D: Iron Man.]
"Oh, shit!" Peter Parker couldn't help but curse, "Why pause at such a critical moment? I want to jump in and help my future self beat the hell out of Electro. Can't I just watch the rest of the video?"
Seeing his future self struggling against Electro, the current Spider-Man was very anxious. Frustrated by the pause, he scratched his head and said, "Although that jerk is hard to deal with, I don't want Gwen to help. She's webbed to the police car... Could it be that Harry finally comes around?"
"It's possible..." Wanda thought for a moment and said, "In another parallel universe, Harry Osborn, although he once fell and became the Green Goblin, ultimately sided with Spider-Man and sacrificed himself to save him. So, we can rule out B and D."
The New York Police would only appear after everything was settled. In critical moments, they wouldn't be seen, and they were busy dealing with the chaos Electro caused by destroying the city's power grid, which even affected airplanes. The authorities were needed to maintain order and couldn't help immediately.
Option D, Iron Man, was also impossible. Although in Wanda's world, Spider-Man and Iron Man were like father and son, and Iron Man would help if Spider-Man was in trouble, there was no Iron Man or other superheroes in this Spider-Man's world. Clearly, there was no Avengers here.
Peter Parker agreed with Wanda's analysis. Excluding B and D, they had to choose between A and C. Peter leaned towards A, and after some hesitation, Wanda agreed.
The countdown began, and they both hit the answer button. Peter Parker was lucky this time and got the answering rights. He quickly answered, "I choose A!"
Meanwhile, Team B's Erik chose B. As a newcomer to the Q&A game, the future renowned Magneto was not yet mature enough and overestimated the official forces.
When the countdown ended, the correct answer was revealed:
[The correct answer is C: Gwen Stacy. Team A answered incorrectly. Players Peter Parker and Wanda Maximoff each lose 4 points; Team B answered incorrectly. Players Erik Lehnsherr and Logan Howlett each lose 1 point.]
Both teams got it wrong. Wanda shook her head regretfully, "Honestly, I wanted to choose C. Your girlfriend is very smart and can indeed help you. I should have insisted."
Peter Parker pursed his lips. He genuinely didn't want Gwen to get involved in this trouble because her father had been implicated and sacrificed before. With that precedent, he naturally didn't want his girlfriend to face any danger.
