Marvel's Spider-Man: Web of Fate

“We know that,” Peter replied.

Penny said, "But the particle collider is not in good condition right now. I've seen its data in the underground base, and it's rotating at least three times faster than it was designed to!"

"What do you mean?" asked Amazing Spider-Man B.

Penny's tone was very serious: "That means what used to take 10 hours to warm up now only takes 2.5 hours!"

"2.5 hours? How much time has passed since Ms. Octopus left?" Peter asked.

“It should be about an hour and fifty minutes,” Spider-Man Noir said. “I’m quite sensitive to time.”

"So we have ten minutes left?" Peter raised an eyebrow.

“No,” Penny said, “in fact, the particle collider had been running for about two hours before we got here!”

"Won't the consequences be severe if this particle collider is operating beyond its capacity?" Spider Gwen asked.

Peter's expression was grave. He had reviewed all the data, including the analysis of the particle collider previously conducted by the blond Spider-Man.

"The consequences can't be simply described as 'serious.' A particle collider operating under normal conditions could potentially create a black hole due to the enormous energy generated at the moment of collision, engulfing the entire Brooklyn. The good news about the overloaded state is that this particle collider is completely useless after this use, but the bad news is that if not handled properly, the entire city of New York could be swallowed up!"

Actually, there's some good news: the Overload Key 2.0, which they designed to reverse the program and send Spider-Man Noir and his crew back, has now inadvertently become the key to solving this problem.

Because the overloaded key can reverse the program, it can quickly release energy after a collision and render the system powerless by disrupting its connection with the liquid helium diversion system.

The formation of black holes, or rather, mimicry black holes, requires a continuous and enormous amount of energy.

If there isn't enough energy, even if it's generated, it will be annihilated in an instant.

In this way, the energy in that instant would at most cause a small-scale explosion, at most destroying Kingpin's Fisk Tower.

Anyway, it's better than blowing up all 800 million people in New York, right?

Besides, this building was originally Kingpin's den of iniquity.

Given Kingpin's current state, it won't be needed in the future.

"Penny, how long did it take you to find that place?" Peter realized something was wrong and quickly asked.

"twenty minutes."

"Wait, let me sort this out." Peter reached out and rubbed his head.

Chapter 73 Accident

He remembered that Kingpin and his men came to his door at around 6 a.m.

The battle lasted for about half an hour, around 6:30, when Kingpin and his men were defeated and Ms. Octopus escaped.

After that, they set off for Fisk Tower. It took them about an hour to get from Queens to Brooklyn. Around 7:30, Peter, Spider-Man B, and Spider-Gwen arrived at Fisk Tower.

It's estimated that Ms. Octopus arrived around the same time, since there was no traffic jam between them, and they mostly traveled in straight lines.

Around 8:00, Peter and Spider Gwen solved the trap in Kingpin's office and began gathering information.

Around 8:50, Spider-Ham, Penny, and Shadow arrived, while Penny and Shadow went underground.

Around 9:00, the data collection was basically completed.

It is now 9:20. Penny and her colleagues have found the particle collider and discovered the problem.

In other words, the particle collider will be turned on around 7:30. Considering that the current power is four times the planned power, the particle collider will be turned on around 10:00.

Considering the potential obstruction from Ms. Octopus and those Kingpin deployed near the particle collider, they should allow 10-20 minutes.

In other words, the documents at hand must be processed by around 9:40!

Peter quickly grasped the logic.

He then scanned the data while communicating his reasoning to them via the communicator.

He glanced at the documents, then at the time, and said, "I can finish scanning them all by 9:30 at the latest!"

So Penny and Spider-Man Noir decided to lie low for the time being, continue to observe the developments over there, and wait for them to come and join them.

Spider-Gwen and Spider-Ham were tasked with finding a route to the underground.

Ten more minutes passed.

Peter clapped his hands and stood up abruptly.

"It's finished!" he shouted excitedly, his joy overflowing.

There was no need to be so happy about this.

But when this is linked to something that could endanger the lives of 800 million people, it becomes quite gripping.

Spider-Gwen and Spider-Ham also found a passage to the underground.

It's not hard to find.

Right in Kingpin's office.

It's that private elevator!

This private elevator only goes to three places.

One is this office, another is the rooftop helipad, and the third is the particle collider laboratory at the bottom of the building.

Peter forwarded the packaged materials to Penny, who then used the advanced technology on her spider mech to create a profile as a "helpful citizen" and sent it to everyone Peter had told her about.

After doing all that, the Amazing Spider-Man B downstairs drove the extended Lincoln carrying Kingpin to the front door, reinforced Kingpin with some more spider webs, and then came up.

After everyone gathered, they didn't waste any time and took the elevator downstairs.

It was 9:35.

The elevator began to descend rapidly.

The instant the door closed, Peter and the others seemed to hear Penny scream, but they didn't know what had happened.

Inside the underground particle collider laboratory.

The underground laboratory, which was once teeming with talented individuals, now has only two people left.

One was Ms. Octopus, and the other was a male researcher wearing a white lab coat.

“Jonathan, you shouldn’t be here,” Ms. Octopus said, her hands and four fluid mechanical tentacles moving in unison, doing the work of five people, constantly busy in front of the computer.

Her hair was disheveled, and there was even dust on her face and body.

Before this, she had escaped from a battle with Spider-Man. After returning here, she didn't care about doing anything else and devoted herself wholeheartedly to the work of the super particle collider.

Because she had witnessed the power of the Spider-Men, she knew that these Spider-Men must have designs on this super particle collider, and that her own power was insufficient to stop them.

Since that's the case, she chose to destroy it!

But before that, she had to complete her final experiment!

In fact, while things were roughly as Peter had guessed, there were some slight discrepancies.

This slight discrepancy could be fatal!

“No, Liv, this is your hard work, and it is mine! I want to stay here and witness everything!” The man referred to as “Jonathan” by Ms. Octopus was a middle-aged man of about forty years old.

His full name is Jonathan Orn. ​​After graduating from MIT with a PhD in quantum physics, he was recruited by Ms. Octopus and joined the Oak Max Lab.

He played at least 40% of the role in enabling this super particle collider to perform.

50% belongs to Ms. Octopus, while the remaining 10% is the sum of the other researchers!

And if we're talking about who, besides Ms. Octopus, is most interested in this super particle collider and this quantum experiment at Oak Max Labs, it's definitely Jonathan!

Of course, Kingpin was also one of them.

But what he cares about more is the result—bringing his family from the parallel universe.

As for quantum experiments, parallel universe experiments, research on countless worlds, etc., they obviously have nothing to do with Kingpin.

He wouldn't care.

Therefore, when Ms. Octopus rushed back and dismissed all the researchers, Jonathan chose to stay.

He learned everything from Ms. Octopus, including her plans.

But he was not afraid.

He wanted to stay here until the very end and witness everything happen with his own eyes.

"Phew—" Ms. Octopus raised her head, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and a smile appeared on her lips.

finished!

She succeeded!

Even if Spider-Man arrived now, it would be too late.

Because the particle collider is about to complete its final overload acceleration, it will be officially activated in five minutes!

In five minutes, it will all be over.

-

"The particle collider will start in five minutes!"

When Peter and the others stepped out of the elevator, they heard this sentence.
