Chapter 793 Shakespeare
Peter's trip was quite strange: he thought bringing Gwen along would just boost his confidence, but it turned out to lead to a cloning conspiracy and a huge mess. Meanwhile, the other side was following the trail and thought they had found the mastermind, an evil and terrifying spider monster, but they didn't find it.

The ultimate Spider-Man in this universe is definitely planning something, but unlike the Web Corps, which brings together all the evil Spider-Men, his team is small and consists of anti-heroes, making them at least more reliable than Anansey and her group.

There are many suspicious points, but the stance is credible and on our side; it's just that the methods used may not be acceptable to everyone.

"For now, all we can do is keep an eye on it..."

As Peter spoke, he weaved through the web of fate, and asked Cindy with concern, "Are you alright? You didn't seem to be feeling well earlier."

"No, it's nothing, it's just that I feel... there's something nearby, so it feels very strange."

Cindy's answer left Peter feeling a bit confused. Something strange?

"Has it always been there? Could it be that Otto hid something in his base?"

Cindy then shook her head: "It appeared suddenly, without any warning, which is why I was in a hurry to leave. I felt like there was something terrifying."

Terrifying? Peter couldn't immediately picture what it was. His spider-sense hadn't detected anything, meaning that if the other party truly harbored ill intentions, it could theoretically have launched a surprise attack, but it hadn't. In other words, the other party was powerful, but without malice.

Peter was completely baffled, because there seemed to be too many people in Marvel who could do this, and he wondered which powerful being from the universe had suddenly appeared.

But speaking of going out to have fun...

Peter suddenly remembered something, told Cindy to wait a moment, then made a few movements on the Spider-Man watch and set a coordinate: "It's funny, there's a Spider-Man in our league who's an actor, and I'm sure you'll really enjoy his performance."

"But first, we need to find our friend and borrow a couple of sets of clothes from him."
-
"To be or not to be, that is the question."

"To silently endure the slings and arrows of fate's tyranny."
Or perhaps they will stand up against the endless suffering of the world and end it all in the struggle.

Which of these two actions is nobler?

It was 1602, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. At the Globe Theatre in London, Shakespeare's new play, Hamlet, was being performed, and the actor playing Prince Hamlet was none other than the Globe Theatre's star, the famous "Spider-Man".

Earth 311, also known as the Shakespearean world, is set in the 1602s. In this world, Spider-Man is not only a spider totem and superhero, but also an actor at the London Globe Theatre, where audiences enjoy watching him leap and bound around the theater, showcasing his wall-climbing skills.

“I would even be happy to see someone whose face is completely obscured playing Prince Hamlet, making one wonder if the handsome character described in the script is actually real.”

At the back of the audience, a man with a receding hairline muttered grumbling, looking at the cheering crowd: "They don't care what this kid looks like, or whether he's suitable to play the lead role, whether it's a prince, a king, or some pathetic wretch. They'll cheer and pull out their money as soon as they see him climb a pillar, cling to a wall, or create a few clumps of cobwebs." Peter and Cindy were sitting next to this man. Peter, overhearing his words, looked over curiously and, finding the man somewhat resembling Jonah Jameson, chuckled and asked, "Excuse me, who are you...?"

"William Shakespeare, the creator of this play, unfortunately, those who come here are not people who appreciate the script, they are all here to see Spider-Man jumping around."

Shakespeare, who looked remarkably like JJJ, muttered to himself, while Cindy whispered to Peter, "Was Shakespeare a real person?"

"At least it exists here."

After a brief, quiet conversation with Cindy, Peter turned to Shakespeare himself: "It's a great honor to meet you, Sir Shakespeare (Shakespeare was a hereditary country gentleman). I really love your works; the plot twist you orchestrated at the end of *The Merchant of Venice* was brilliant, and your performance in *A Midsummer Night's Dream*..."

Shakespeare wore a smug expression, listening with great pleasure as Peter talked about his plays. At this moment, Cindy whispered in Peter's ear to add, "King Lear, Macbeth, and Othello all premiered in 1605 and do not exist now."

"Thank you, I almost said it."

Peter nodded, then continued his conversation with Shakespeare, adding an apology: "My... companion doesn't speak the language very well, but she also enjoys your plays."

“I am very honored that people from other countries are willing to appreciate my work. Don’t worry, I always believe that good art transcends language. Even if she doesn’t understand it, she can still appreciate it… even if the show is actually performed by a group of Spider-Men whose faces are not important to the audience.”

Nearly an hour later, as the scene ended, Peter and Cindy left the theater. Cindy looked at the Globe Theatre behind them in disbelief: "It's...unbelievable. I never thought I would actually see Shakespeare."

"This is also one aspect of the multiverse. In fact, we not only have the universe of 1602, but also the universe of the Western era. Perhaps we can meet Mark Twain in the past, or we can go to the world of Spider-Man Noir, which is in the interwar period. In New York, we might meet Lovecraft, or go to Texas to meet Robert Howard. I have always liked Conan the Barbarian."

"In fact, this may be the meaning of the existence of the multiverse, not an endless spider totem and unexpected events, but a completely different development and a completely different world."

As the two were talking, Peter's watch beeped. He glanced at the signal, raised an eyebrow in slight surprise, and Cindy immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

"Strange said our universe is safe now, we can go back first."

"Has the matter with Mephisto been resolved?"

Peter shook his head: "No, quite the opposite, Mephisto disappeared, just as he did during the Kang Dynasty."
