I'm working on Marvel's Spider-Man in American comics.

Chapter 784 Spider-Man's Retirement Plan

The battle ended very quickly and suddenly—during the battle, one enemy after another fell and then disintegrated into a dust-like substance.

The only exception was Green Goblin, who simply crashed through the wall and ran away. Before the two Spider-Men could react, they were swallowed by a portal and returned to Peter Parker's house.

"Oh my god, we did it! It's a bit strange... but we did it!"

Fat Peter grinned, almost cheering, while Scarlet Spider, though somewhat confused and uneasy, also laughed.

The only one who couldn't laugh was Peter. He immediately released a large number of symbiotes, covering most of Scarlet Spider's body with anti-venom. If their spider-sensors hadn't failed to detect anything, the two of them would have already started fighting.

"What are you doing? What happened?"

"Um... to put it simply, the person who cloned you was most likely Miles Warren. And in order to control you, or for some other reason, he chose to limit the number of times your cells could divide. The cells of your clones were given a limit to their division, and once a certain limit was exceeded, they would disintegrate on their own. Just like the Sinister Sixteen."

Peter explained the situation: "I'm treating you with anti-venom and gas, which should help you last a few more days, but if you're going to resolve this, you'd better find your creator, or at least have the equipment used there perform the surgery."

Seeing Peter's serious expression, Ben Riley remained silent for a long while. Just a few hours ago, he would have been completely fearless, even facing death, but now, for some reason, he suddenly felt that he didn't need to die.

"Okay, thank you, Peter Parker from another world. I'm going to have a good chat with that other me. Thanks."

Peter, who had temporarily averted the death crisis of the Scarlet Spider, looked at him for a while, then nodded and left.

Then, Scarlet Spider looked at Fat Peter, pulled off his hood, and revealed his face. His face was almost identical to Peter Parker's, but he had completely different, somewhat messy blond hair.

Fat Peter, completely oblivious to the situation, said to Scarlet Spider, "Cool! That hair dye is pretty good."

"I was thinking that if we could increase the differences between us, maybe we could avoid some awkward situations, like if we met some friends who saw two Peter Parkers, they might just faint."

"Don't worry, they'll never find out it's the same person. Look at my little belly, and then look at you, it's like night and day, okay?"

Fat Peter's words made Ben Riley laugh out loud. A few minutes later, after recovering, Ben Riley scratched the back of his head and then explained his real purpose for coming: "However, before that, I plan to talk to you about you and MJ."

Fatty Peter's expression immediately fell, and Scarlet Spider quickly stepped forward to explain: "It's like this, I know exactly what you're worried about. You're afraid that you'll lose too much after agreeing. You're afraid that this is a crucial step, but you won't be able to grasp it or protect it. But that's not the reason for you to run away."

"Of course I know! I was completely terrified! And... and what could I do?"

Fat Peter sighed helplessly. His Peter Parker-esque luck was already giving him a headache, and was he really ready to be a father? Probably not. Spider-Man had too many problems, and becoming a father could very well lead to accidents involving his child.

But that's exactly what Scarlet Spider is trying to say: "Perhaps I have a way to solve this problem, a way to grow alongside your child, to be by their side at all times, without you having to pay any extra price."

Upon hearing this, the chubby Peter looked at Ben Riley, his eyes practically spitting fire: "What method?! You really have a method?"

"Simply put, the reason you're afraid is because you can't be in different places at the same time. You're worried you won't be able to keep up with your child's growth." After Scarlet Spider spoke for a while, he offered a solution: "So, I've come up with a very simple way to deal with this situation. That is, you choose to retire, become MJ's husband, and live happily with her again. I'll take care of my part as the Spider-Man superhero and continue the fight."

After hearing the plan, Peter, the chubby guy, was stunned for a moment. He couldn't even believe his ears. But after repeatedly confirming the matter, he thought about it for a while and finally came to a conclusion.

It seems... this really is a solution?

But this put all the pressure on Ben Riley. Fat Peter wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do, so he frowned and didn't immediately agree.

"However, this was the original plan, and it may not work out now, after all..."

Ben Riley chuckled self-deprecatingly at this point, after all, Peter had given him some bad news. Just as the chubby Peter was about to offer a few words of comfort, he unexpectedly received a phone call. He glanced at the phone: "Sorry, it's MJ..."

As a result, Ben Riley was even more impatient than Peter.

"Connect her, quick, do what you're supposed to do."

Ben Riley laughed, then shook his head, waiting for Peter and Mary Jane to finish their call. Peter then answered the phone and heard that familiar voice.

Mary Jane!

"Are you alright, Peter? I saw you fighting with so many people on TV. Are you hurt?"

“I’m fine, Mary Jane…”

Meanwhile, Peter himself, who was outside the house, was studying other things.

What are you doing?

Gwen, curious, leaned closer to ask what was going on. She saw Peter assembling something—a device that looked like a junk piece of equipment that even Gwen didn't recognize. Peter, while assembling, explained, "It's an energy detection device. No matter how many cloning experiments Miles Warren plans to conduct, he'll face a huge problem: electricity costs. It's an unavoidable issue."

"And once I connect this thing to the New York power grid, it won't be long before I'm able to locate Warren Labs."

After Peter finished speaking, he stood up and looked at Gwen: "So, we only have one question left now, and then all the problems of this universe will be almost solved."

"what is the problem?"

"Why does Miles Warren hate Spider-Man so much?"
