Chapter 28 - I am Spider Tobey

Hey, hey apple... cough cough I mean, hi, I'm Peter, Peter Parker, nice to meet you.

Well... oops, almost forgot to include the place and date.

Parker Mansion – 2007

There, much better. Now, where were we? Oh, right, I remember...

We just got back from the One Piece World and the War of the Best.

The girls are still a little sad; after all, we often went to the OP world just to party with Whitebeard's crew. We even thought about warning him about Teach, but there was too much of a chance that he would be displeased with us for accusing his son of something he hadn't done. Of course, we could have just told him to keep an eye out in case Thatch found the fruit, but in the end, we decided to let history take its course. But we still saved Ace and changed things because we couldn't let Whitebeard die in vain—we were friends.

"Friday, keep an eye on Whitebeard's crew. If any danger approaches them, inform me immediately," Emily said. It looks like she took her promise seriously.

[As you wish, my lady,] Friday responded.

"I'm still amazed by the power you gave them, and even more amazed that just this armor, thinner than an insect’s wing, can give us equivalent strength," Gwen said as she ran her finger along her skin, commanding the armor to reveal itself.

Where her finger passed, an extremely thin and transparent film appeared. But don’t be fooled—this was one of the armors I made. Using the Pym formula, I crafted it to be as thin as an insect’s wing but as powerful as a standard super armor. With this suit, you could easily beat up MCU’s Hulk.

In fact, my Pymter Parker formula became so powerful that I could minutely choose what I wanted to shrink. For example, I could shrink the spaces between the atoms of a structure, even reduce an atom’s electron shell while keeping its nucleus the same size. This simply opened up an immense number of possibilities regarding what I can or cannot do.

My thoughts were interrupted by M.J.

"I get so excited thinking that the day we’ll take the serum and have our own true powers is finally coming," said an eager M.J.

“"I do too,"” the other girls agreed.

"I do too." Of course, I wanted to join in as well.

The girls looked at me and rolled their eyes.

"Hey, I'm serious," I said, rolling my eyes back at them.

Soon, we started chatting and playing around with each other.

"Hey girls, our wedding is at the end of this year. This is also the year we get our powers," I said with a loving smile.

Actually, there was a plan I never mentioned, but I had discarded it.

It was the plan for me to declare myself to the world as the supreme ruler of Earth—which, let’s be honest, I am. But I scrapped that plan because I don’t want my normal life disturbed. And besides, after creating so many worlds and being worshiped in most of them as the supreme god, Earth just isn’t as significant in my eyes anymore.

Now, I just want to have fun, and since this is the home planet of my current body and the girls, my base is here.

But my plans weren’t completely abandoned. I still intend to appoint a supreme governor of Earth. And that person will be Lelouch vi Britannia, though I left his name as his alias from the anime: Lelouch Lamperouge—after all, he’ll be the supreme governor, and it wouldn’t be great if he still carried "Britannia" in his name.

I also made Lelouch look older because he needs to command respect from the entire planet.

And I don’t even have to deal with government affairs because I gave Lelouch super-intelligence along with an AI assistant.

And that’s how I rule without compromising my life.

‘Huh?! What happened, AI chip?’ I asked anxiously since it had never done this before.

[beep Host, this was your order. You commanded me to immediately notify you of any anomaly related to the subject designated as "Venom."] The AI responded.

"OH!! Tell me, what happened?" I asked excitedly.

[beep Responding to the host. A spatial anomaly has been detected. Displaying video via soul link...]

The AI immediately started streaming images into my mind.

In empty space, a fragment of the void shattered, and something that looked like a black slime appeared from the other side.

[beep Does the host wish to grant permission for the target to enter the universe?*] The AI requested confirmation.

"Yes! Allow it to enter immediately, quickly!" I said, excited. I’ve been waiting years for its arrival.

Soon, the image showed the brain-eating jelly crossing through the broken void.

At that moment, a space rock passed nearby, heading toward Earth. The symbiote latched onto the asteroid and remained motionless.

"Alright, I get it! End the transmission. Begin Operation Ingredient X!" I ordered the AI.

[beep Affirmative, host.] The AI responded.

Soon, the nearest space portals in the symbiote’s location started activating.

Small ships emerged from the portals and, upon reaching a certain altitude, expanded into gigantic vessels and accelerated.

In no time, the symbiote found itself surrounded. It was confused as to how it had been detected so quickly, but before it could react, blue barriers enclosed the area around it, and it was swallowed up by a ship.

The ship quickly departed.

‘AI chip, perform a full diagnostic. I want all kinds of data. Use every tool we have. I want to know everything—from its body temperature to how it feels and thinks when it sees flowers. I want it all!’ I commanded.

[beep Affirmative, host.]
