"Captain America can fly too?" Sessi looked at Steve Rogers with some surprise. Her knowledge of Captain America was stuck back in World War II, and Captain America's abilities had expanded significantly since then. However, the information in museums around the world hadn't kept up with the updates, and Captain America hadn't showcased all of his abilities yet. So, she didn't know that Captain America could fly.
"That's right, I can fly now. It's an ability granted by this Answer Space," Steve Rogers said.
"It's impressive to have a place like this," Sessi remarked.
"I think the Eternal Clan might not be able to stay uninvolved for long," Nick Fury suddenly said.
"What do you mean?" Sessi asked.
"The Answer Space never randomly pulls people in. Everyone it pulls in is closely related to the future. If the Eternal Clan keeps avoiding human affairs, then the Eternal Clan won't affect humanity's future. The Answer Space probably won't pull you in," Nick Fury said.
"Fury's making sense," Steve Rogers said, "The Eternal Clan might also face some changes that make you break your creed of non-interference in human matters."
"Is that so?" Sessi was skeptical about this statement, but she didn't argue.
[The Q&A is now starting. Prepare for the questions.]
[Question 1: When Ned Leeds used a portal to search for Peter Parker, he accidentally found Peter Parkers from other universes. How many Peter Parkers from other universes did Ned Leeds find?]
[A: 1]
[B: 2]
[C: 3]
[D: 4]
"Wow, Spider-Men from other worlds?" Tony Stark perked up as soon as he saw this question. "Does this mean that someday in the future, people from other worlds will come to our world?"
"Tony, why are you so excited? Are you sure this is a good thing?" Steve Rogers asked.
"It doesn't sound like a good thing," Tony Stark said, "But the question is about Peter Parker, Spider-Man!"
"Although our alignments are mostly consistent across parallel worlds, they're not guaranteed to be identical. The Peter Parker from another world that Ned Leeds found might also be evil," Bruce Banner said.
"Ned Leeds, Peter's friend, right? He can use portals? Is he a magician?" Steve Rogers asked.
"Ned's just a regular guy, at least up until now," Peter Parker said, "As for the future, I don't know. But seeing that the question mentioned he used a portal, could he become a magician in the future?"
"He doesn't look anything like a magician," Stephen Strange said.
"So how should we answer this question? We can't really analyze it, it looks like we'll have to rely on guessing," Scott Lang said.
"Indeed, we can only guess," Peter Parker said, "But considering that the Answer Space previously brought in two other Peter Parkers, I'll guess two. I'll choose B!"
[Correct answer! Reward distributed!]
A blue flame appeared in the air and entered Peter Parker's body.
"Now Peter can play with fire too," Tony Stark couldn't help but say.
"Yeah, I've got fire superpowers now too," Peter Parker said, extending his hand and conjuring a flame in his palm at will.
"The answer to this question is 2, the same as the number of Peter Parkers from other universes that the Answer Space pulled in. Maybe the Peter Parkers that Ned found are just these two?" Scott Lang suddenly said.
"I hope it's just them. Both of them are superheroes like our Peter, not villains," Thor said.
"Let's not get too excited. I think we need to consider things more comprehensively," Bruce Banner said, "If superheroes from other worlds have come to our world, what about their supervillains? Could they have also come?"
"Bruce, you're thinking too much," Thor said, "The question doesn't contain any information suggesting that supervillains have come to our world."
"Thinking about things from various angles is always a good idea," Nick Fury said, "If no supervillains have come, then that's great, and we've just overthought it. But what if supervillains really have come?"
"Are you saying that the Answer Space has pulled in people from other worlds before?" Sessi was quite surprised by this. The power of this Answer Space seemed truly remarkable.
"Yes, it previously brought in two Peter Parkers," Nick Fury said, "They're both Spider-Men, being friendly neighborhood heroes in their respective worlds."
At this moment, light appeared in the space, and a video began playing.
"I just wish, I just wish that we could see him." The scene started with Ned Leeds talking, and as he talked, he absentmindedly waved his hand, causing some golden sparks to appear in the air.
; The companions in the Answer Space had already answered several rounds of questions, so naturally, they could instantly recognize what those golden sparks were — they were the unique signature of the Kamatayan portal!
"Ned?" Michelle Jones, who had previously been rather listless, suddenly perked up. "Let's do it again."
"Sure." Ned Leeds imitated the hand gesture he had used before and repeated, "I just wish that we could see him."
As soon as he finished this sentence, the effect was immediate. A golden portal actually appeared in the room. Although it collapsed shortly after forming, it was undoubtedly successfully depicted.
"Is it really this easy?" Inside the Answer Space, Stephen Strange saw this scene, and his brow furrowed involuntarily. He remembered struggling to learn how to draw that portal back then. He had even been sent to Mount Everest by the Ancient One, forced to master it under the threat of death.
But now, this chubby guy managed to create it so casually?
Is this a joke?
Didn't they say I'm the most talented sorcerer of Kamar-Taj?
Are you sure you're not fooling me?
"I just wish that we could see Peter." In the video, Ned Leeds stood up and drew the portal again.
This time, the portal didn't disappear. Instead, it appeared and expanded, becoming over a person's height in diameter.
On the other side of the portal, everyone could clearly see a person in a Spider-Man suit standing there. He was turning his head to look at them.
"Peter!"
"Peter!"
Ned Leeds and Michelle Jones shouted loudly towards the figure in the portal.
The Spider-Man on the other side didn't hesitate. Since someone called for him, he ran into the portal.
At first, Ned Leeds and Michelle Jones were excited, both smiling. But when the Spider-Man jumped through, their smiles vanished.
Because this Spider-Man was much taller than the Peter Parker they knew, and the tone of his greeting was different. He was definitely not the Peter Parker they were familiar with.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm a good guy." The Spider-Man took off his mask, revealing a face different from Peter Parker's.
Indeed, he was not the Peter Parker of this world.
"It's him!"
"Peter from a parallel world."
"Spider-Man from Universe 6!"
"He's been in this Answer Space before!"
In the video, Ned Leeds and Michelle Jones didn't recognize the Garfield version of Spider-Man, but the participants in the Answer Space could all immediately tell who he was.
"I didn't expect to see him again, and in this way." Tony Stark said.
"This version of Spider-Man has appeared. The other Spider-Man who came to the Answer Space should also appear, right?" Bruce Banner said.
"Highly likely," Steve Rogers said. "No wonder the Answer Space pulled both of them in before. So, in the future, he'll come to our world. It turns out the Answer Space doesn't randomly pull people in."
"In that case, the Answer Space also showed another Quicksilver. Could it be that someday he'll come to our world too?" Pietro Maximoff said.
"We can't rule out that possibility," Bruce Banner said.
"Who are you?" In the video, Michelle Jones asked Garfield's Peter Parker.
"I'm Peter Parker," Garfield's Peter Parker said.
"That's impossible," Michelle Jones said.
"I'm Peter Parker, in my world," Garfield's Peter Parker said, "But yesterday, I was here."
"Wow~" He looked quite surprised, "String theory? Multidimensional reality? A displacement issue. But is this real?"
"It's definitely a problem with the incantation," Ned Leeds and Michelle Jones whispered to each other on the side.
"Incantation?" Garfield's Peter Parker asked curiously, "Like a magical spell?"
"No." Ned Leeds denied it.
"Are there no magic or spells here?" Garfield's Peter Parker asked.
"Prove it." After discussing magic for a while, Michelle Jones made a request and threw a piece of bread at Garfield's Peter Parker.
With a helpless expression, Garfield's Peter Parker demonstrated a little. He jumped up and grabbed the ceiling, sticking to it.
"Climb around." However, Michelle Jones felt that sticking to the ceiling wasn't enough, so she asked for another demonstration.
"Why do I have to climb around?" Garfield's Peter Parker was reluctant at first, but he ended up crawling around the ceiling.
"Is it enough now?" Garfield's Peter Parker said after landing.
"Okay for now," Michelle Jones said.
"So, I opened a portal for the wrong Peter Parker?" Ned Leeds was a bit dumbfounded.
"Yes," Michelle Jones said, "But I think you should keep doing it until you find the right one."
"Find Peter Parker." Ned Leeds started drawing circles again.
"What's that thing on his finger?" Garfield's Peter Parker had never seen the suspender ring on Ned Leeds' finger.
"Shh!" Michelle Jones gestured for him to be quiet.
"Find Peter Parker." Ned Leeds continued drawing, and as expected, he successfully drew another portal.
This time, a casually dressed young man walked through the portal, and he was still not the Peter Parker that Ned Leeds was looking for.
"It really is him!"
"Peter Parker from Universe 7!"
"If we find our Peter Parker again, it'll be three Spider-Men together. That's a classic scene."
Seeing the appearance of Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker, the participants in the Answer Space couldn't help but get excited again.
"This is great, just a regular guy." Ned Leeds was going crazy. Why did he keep finding all these inexplicable people instead of his best friend?
"Hello." Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker greeted everyone, "I hope everything's fine. I just came through this thing."
"You're Peter," Michelle Jones said.
"Yes, Peter Parker," Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker said, "I've met you too."
"Wait, he's not your friend." Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker's gaze fell on Garfield's Peter Parker. The two of them stared at each other, a strange atmosphere brewing between them.
Swoosh!
It wasn't clear where their understanding came from, but almost at the same moment, they both shot webs at each other, then flipped in place almost simultaneously, avoiding each other's webs.
"Wait, you're also Spider-Man. Why didn't you just say so?" Ned Leeds asked Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker.
"I generally don't advertise it," Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker said. After exchanging some small talk with everyone, he got to the point, "Although it sounds strange, ever since I came here, I've been looking for your friend. I just feel like he needs my help."
"Our help," Garfield's Peter Parker added.
"He does indeed need it," Michelle Jones said.
"We don't know where he is," Ned Leeds said.
"Truth be told, he only has us left now," Michelle Jones said.
"Well, there's a place he might go, a place that's special to him." Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker said, "Like..."
"A place that could take him away from everything." Garfield's Peter Parker evidently agreed with Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker.
"For me, it's the top of the Chrysler Building," Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker said.
"Empire State Building," Garfield's Peter Parker also had such a place.
"I think I know where he is," prompted by this, Michelle Jones finally remembered where to find her Peter Parker.
At this point, the scene changed. In the night sky, the Holland version of Peter Parker sat there, tears streaming down his face. Michelle Jones and Ned Leeds walked over, and the two of them hugged the Holland version of Peter Parker.
"Peter, there are others here too, sorry," the Holland version of Peter Parker cried for a while, and Michelle Jones spoke to him.
The Holland version of Peter Parker stood up and saw two figures on a rooftop not far away.

[END OF CHAPTER]
Needless to say, the two figures in the night sky were the other two Spider-Men. They both jumped down.
"Wait! Wait!" Holland's Peter Parker immediately shouted, causing the other two Spider-Men to stop.
"About May, I'm very sorry," Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker said.
"Yes, I'm sorry. I understand how you feel," Garfield's Peter Parker also said.
"No, no, no!" Holland's Peter Parker interrupted the other two Spider-Men, "Don't tell me you understand what I've been through. She's gone, and it's all my fault. Her death was meaningless."
"Aunt May is dead?" Inside the Answer Space, Peter Parker was devastated, "How could Aunt May die?"
"Peter, don't worry. No matter what led to Aunt May's death, this future has already shown us that we will prevent it in advance. We won't let it happen again," Tony Stark said.
"And you're even more powerful than your original self. You have the ability to protect her," Steve Rogers said, "This tragedy won't happen again."
"Yes, it won't happen. I won't let it happen!" Peter Parker clenched his fist.
"So, there are things I must do." In the video, Holland's Peter Parker sounded determined.
"Peter, please don't..." Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker started to say.
"You don't belong here." Holland's Peter Parker said to Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker, then turned to Garfield's Peter Parker, "And you too. So, I'm sending you both back. Those other guys are from your worlds, right?"
Garfield's Peter Parker nodded.
"So, you handle it. If they die, if you kill them, that's your responsibility, not my problem. I don't care anymore." Holland's Peter Parker's heart was already broken, "I'm sorry I dragged you into this. You must go home now."
"My uncle was killed, it's my fault," Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker spoke up.
"I lost Gwen. She was my MJ. I couldn't save her, and I can never forgive myself for that," Garfield's Peter Parker said, "I kept trying, kept trying to be a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man because I know that's what she wanted me to do. But to some extent, I'm not clenching my fist anymore..."
"I just don't want you to end up like me." Garfield's Peter Parker concluded.
"I found who I believed was responsible. I wanted him dead, and I got what I wanted, but things didn't get any better." Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker continued, "It took me a long time to learn to walk through the darkness."
Holland's Peter Parker also mentioned Aunt May's death. He said, "She told me, 'With great power...'"
"'...comes great responsibility,'" Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker finished the quote, his uncle had told him those words too.
"How did you guys know?" Holland's Peter Parker asked.
"My uncle said it," Garfield's Peter Parker said.
"Maybe his death wasn't entirely meaningless, Peter," Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker added.
The space darkened, and the video ended here.
"So, Ned is definitely not some kind of mage; he was able to open the portal purely by accident," Stephen Strange said.
"If he can open a portal accidentally, doesn't that precisely show that he's a genius at learning magic?" Tony Stark said.
"I remember a certain future Sorcerer Supreme saying that he was thrown onto Mount Everest to learn how to open portals and he succeeded, but this guy did it accidentally," Steve Rogers told Stephen Strange, "It sounds like he might have more talent for being the Sorcerer Supreme than you."
"Well then, why did the Ancient One choose me instead of him?" Stephen Strange retorted.
"More importantly, I'm concerned about Aunt May's death," Bruce Banner said, "Our previous worries were right. The people coming from other worlds aren't just superheroes; there are super villains too. It's those super villains who killed Peter's Aunt May."
"For those two Spider-Man worlds, we actually have some understanding," Nick Fury said, "Their worlds don't seem to have very high-end powers. Spider-Man is their only superhero, and Spider-Man can handle the majority of their supervillains. Dealing with their villains shouldn't be difficult."
"But for ordinary people, it's still a disaster," Bruce Banner said, "So, it's better if we prevent them from coming over."
"Of course," Nick Fury said, "If they're here as guests, everyone's welcome; if they're here to cause trouble, no one is!"
"Why are people from other worlds coming to ours in the first place?" Clint Barton asked.
"For now, we probably don't have a way of knowing. No relevant information has been revealed," Nick Fury said.
[The second question begins. Please be prepared.]
[After the leader of the Eternals, Ajak, died, who became the new leader of the Eternals?]
[A: Ikaris]
[B: Druig]
[C: Sersi]
[D: Thena]
[Answering correctly rewards "Navy Six-Style." Answering incorrectly deducts one year of lifespan.]
"What? Ajak will die?" Sersi looked at the question and was greatly shocked.
"What abilities does Ajak have?" Phil Coulson asked.
"Healing ability," Sersi said.
"It sounds like her combat abilities might not be strong, so it's possible she was killed," Phil Coulson said.
"But who would do that?" Sersi couldn't understand at all, "We don't interfere in human affairs, which means we have no enemies. Who would target us?"
"Not having enemies doesn't mean you won't be attacked," Nick Fury said, "Don't forget, stirring up conflict is one of the things humans are best at. Sometimes, trouble comes even when you're just sitting at home."
"Perhaps you're all overthinking this. Maybe it was just an accident," Scott Lang said, "Like a car accident?"
"That's not possible," Sersi shook her head, "First of all, Ajak can heal others and herself. Unless she died on the spot, she can heal herself. Moreover, even though Ajak's ability isn't combat-based, she's still an Eternal. Her combat abilities and reflexes aren't something an ordinary person can compare to. It's hard for me to believe that she would die like an ordinary person in a car accident."
"It could be a more severe accident, like an earthquake, a fire, a big explosion," Scott Lang shrugged.
"I'll investigate the reason after the quiz ends. The question doesn't provide any clues, and just imagining won't help us find the cause," Sersi said.
"So, who will be the new leader?" Stephen Strange said.
"I think it's Ikaris," Sersi said, "He's the strongest among us."
"Sorry, you mentioned earlier that Ajak's ability is healing, not combat. So, I think your leader isn't chosen based on combat abilities," Steve Rogers said.
"In that case, it's still Ikaris," Sersi said, "Ikaris is the most respected among us. Everyone trusts him, and he's always been Aunt Ajak's right-hand man."
"We've got a sense of who you guys are now," Tony Stark asked, "What about Thena and Gilgamesh?"
"Thena is the least likely to be a leader. Although her combat abilities are top-notch among us, she has some physical issues," Sersi said.
"Top-notch combat abilities?" Stephen Strange asked, "What abilities does she have?"
"She can create weapons," Sersi said.
"A female version of Tony?" James Rhodes said.
"Not that kind of creation," Sersi said, "She wants a certain weapon, and it just appears, instead of spending time building it like Iron Man."
"So she could just conjure a nuclear bomb and level everything?" Tony Stark said.
"She can't conjure weapons like that," Sersi said helplessly, "Mainly, it's cold weapons, like knives and swords. If we're talking about firearms, Gilgamesh's abilities are more like firearms. He can emit laser-like attacks from his hands."
"That's far worse than Ikaris shooting lasers from his eyes," Tony Stark said.
"Oh, by the way, if you watch Bollywood movies, you might have seen Gilgamesh," Sersi said, "He's a popular Bollywood actor."
"Sorry, I only watch Hollywood movies," Tony Stark shook his head.
"It sounds like Ikaris is the most suitable for the leader," Steve Rogers said.
"It must be Ikaris then," Sersi made her choice, "A!"
[Answer incorrect! One year of lifespan deducted!]
Hearing this deduction prompt, Scott Lang almost laughed, "Is the Answer Space serious? They're immortal beings, and you deduct one year of lifespan? What's the difference from not deducting anything?"
"Guys like Thor have incredibly long lifespans, almost equivalent to getting a reward for free," Clint Barton said, "We only have a few decades to a hundred years of life. It really does seem unfair."
"Unfair?" Bruce Banner smiled, "Clint, at least you're staying in the Answer Space and receiving a lot of rewards. Those billions of people who have no idea what the Answer Space is, do you think they might also find it unfair?"
"Some are born billionaires, with more money than they can spend on firewood, while some are born poor as dirt, and they work their whole lives and still consider firewood scarce..." Stephen Strange said, "There are too many unfair things. If you focus on them, you'll only be seeking trouble."
"I was just saying it offhandedly," Clint Barton shrugged.
"I suddenly think that Thena might be the new leader of the Eternals," Loki suddenly spoke up.
"Me?" Sersi quickly shook her head, "How is that possible? Among the Eternals, I'm just average, inconspicuous, and my abilities are quite ordinary. I don't have the talent to be a leader."
"Ikaris is the most likely leader, but the Answer Space has already told us it's not him. Thena has physical issues and isn't suitable to be a leader, so two out of the four options are already ruled out. Sersi, you now have a 50% chance," Loki said, "Compared to a guy who went to become an actor, I think you're more likely."
"I think if the Answer Space chose Sersi, it might have already indicated something," Thor chimed in, "There are 11 Eternals, why wasn't someone else brought in, and why you?"
At this point, the space lit up, and a video started playing.
The latest scene showed Sprite and Sersi, walking side by side. In front of them walked Sersi's boyfriend, Dane.
"You're really in love?" Sprite asked.
"What if I am?" Sersi retorted.
"Then you better tell him the truth," Sprite said.
"I'll find the right moment," Sersi said.
"He won't be immortal. You should live with him," Sprite suggested.
"I'll live with you," Sersi said.
Just then, a giant monster emerged from the nearby river.
"Shit! Is that a Deviant?" Sprite was immediately shocked.
"Dane, run!" Sersi shouted to Dane.
"Deviant?" Answer Space, Sersi was also extremely surprised, "How can Deviants appear?"
"Didn't you say you already wiped them out a long time ago?" Nick Fury asked.
"Yes, or rather, we thought we wiped them out," Sersi said.
"Well, another threat has shown up," Nick Fury shrugged.
"If the Deviants really appeared, then it's the responsibility of the Eternals," Sersi's expression turned serious, "We'll take responsibility for wiping them out again, completely."
In the scene, the Deviant had already jumped onto the shore from the water. Sersi calmly pressed both hands on the ground. The earth suddenly turned as soft as mud, and the Deviant sank into it. With another press, the ground became solid again, encapsulating the Deviant in the earth.
"Let's go!" Sersi called to Dane, and together with Sprite, the three turned and fled.
"What the hell is that thing!" Dane asked while running.
"Deviant!" Sprite answered.
"You said you killed them all!" Dane shouted.
"Did you tell him?" Sersi asked Sprite.
"Do you believe me now?" Sprite ignored Sersi and asked Dane.
"I do now," Dane said.
The ground didn't hold the Deviant for long. It exerted force with its hooves, freeing itself from the ground, and charged at them again.
Sersi and the others climbed onto a bridge. Sprite extended her hand, and countless illusions of her and Sersi appeared on the bridge, moving around.
"So, the ability of this Eternal is creating illusions?" Stephen Strange remarked as the video played.
"Sprite, this is her ability," Sersi said.
"If it's only creating illusions and manipulating matter, it seems like the two of you can't defeat that Deviant," Steve Rogers said.
Steve Rogers hit the nail on the head – Sersi and Sprite indeed couldn't defeat the Deviant.
No, it wasn't just that they couldn't defeat it, but it seemed unlikely they could even escape.
