Let's restart, Spider-Man!

Looking at herself in the mirror, Gwen had a sudden thought, and the black liquid quickly climbed up her body, writhing and transforming into a white-on-top, black-on-bottom spider suit.

The moment the hood was put on, memories that didn't belong to her surfaced in her mind.

A cave, Tony Stark, Parker the Lizard, Cindy the Green Goblin, and Spider-Man!

Charlotte Parker!

The image froze on Charlotte's face, who was wearing a nanotech suit, and Gwen snapped back to reality.

"Charlotte, is it really you?"

She murmured to herself, and after washing up, she glanced at the night outside the window before leaping out.

"Hey~"

Spiderwebs shot out as Gwen moved through the city.

Since the successful artificial sun experiment, the world has been changing rapidly.

The inexhaustible energy has brought about technological breakthroughs, and various high-tech products have appeared in people's lives one after another.

City buildings have become taller.

Cars have become small flying machines.

Hover trains, ion highways, artificial moons, AI robots, customized biospheres

These products, which only exist in science fiction movies, have all been put on the agenda.

Television reports on the changes happening in the world every day.

Spider-Man is gradually being forgotten.

Only Jonah Jameson's Daily Bugle remembers Spider-Man.

Chapter 175 The Washed-Up Hero Spider-Man

Under the neon lights, Gwen leaps and lands on the billboard.

She looked at the giant island rising slowly in the night sky, her inverted triangular eyes narrowing slightly.

This is the new S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

With virtually unlimited energy, S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters has finally become one of New York's iconic buildings.

The technological breakthrough brought about by the successful artificial sun experiment is far more impressive than imagined.

The high-tech weapons that police officers are now equipped with have rendered superheroes obsolete.

Ordinary supervillains are no match for high-tech weapons.

George's life has been very fulfilling lately.

Gwen, now "Spider-Man," hasn't caught a criminal in a week.

"Boom~"

As she was lost in thought, sirens roared past, and a police drone, converted from a police car, sped through the high-rise buildings, the shockwaves it created lifting Gwen's hood.

Watching the police drone speed away, Gwen lowered her hand again.

At her speed, she couldn't catch up with the aircraft at all.

Swinging on spider webs as a mode of transportation is outdated.

This is just the beginning.

Once the elevated highway is completed, police officers will be able to respond much faster, and any mode of transportation will be more cost-effective than swinging on spider webs.

Thinking of this, Gwen felt a pang of disappointment.

The world is changing too fast.

It gave her a feeling of unreality.

Even if artificial sun technology has driven technological progress, it shouldn't be this fast.

There is no process, only the result!

It seems the world no longer needs Spider-Man.

So what is the significance of her becoming Spider-Man?

Protect yourself?

Gwen still gets slightly lost in thought when she thinks about the black Spider-Man she encountered before.

I will die.

Will I really die?

Suddenly, a loud bang erupted from the shore, and a dazzling firework shot rapidly into the sky, its brilliant light painting the night sky as if celebrating something.

"Whoosh! Bang!!"

Fireworks burst in the night sky, seven dazzling rays of light exploding and spreading outwards, and a huge spider totem spanned the night sky, signifying Spider-Man's return.

"Spider-Man!"

Gwen's eyes lit up, and she felt inexplicably excited.

"Finally it showed up."

In the Daily Bugle's office, Jonah Jameson, suffering from insomnia, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, a faint smile appearing on his weary face.

Meanwhile, Otto wakes up from his sleep in his new villa by the sea.

Gazing at the dazzling fireworks outside the window, a hint of anticipation flickered in his eyes.

"Spider-Man is back, and I won't be bored anymore."

Ruth stood up and rested her head on Otto's shoulder.

"Are you still thinking about the battle that didn't end last time?"

“I’m not a reckless man, I won’t care about those things.”

Otto smiled slightly and gently stroked Ruth's face.

"He saved you and made me realize how important you are to me. We are very happy now, so Spider-Man should be happy too."

Hearing this, Ruth shook her head helplessly.

"It may be difficult. For a hero, once the world no longer needs him, he will lose his meaning of existence. Not everyone can bear this sense of loss."

Otto's lips curled slightly, his tone disdainful.

"It's impossible for them to replace Spider-Man with those common, outdated weapons."

Rose rolled her eyes. "Spider-Man wouldn't want the world to become like it was before. Peace is the most important thing."

“My wife, you seem to have forgotten something.”

Otto stood up, looked out the window at the night sky, and squinted slightly.

"It is true that the artificial sun brings unlimited energy, and humanity will no longer start wars because of energy issues."

But humans are inherently selfish; war will never end, and criminals can never be eradicated.

Most importantly

He turned to look at Ruth, “Evil people are more likely to control the narrative. Even without Hydra, there will be other, more terrifying beings to take that role.”

The story of Spider-Man is not over yet.

-

At the same time, the dazzling fireworks in the night sky dissipated, and the red and blue figures launched spider silk to lock onto the void before drifting into the base of the Empire State Building's antenna tower.

Looking at the city, which felt both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar, Charlotte couldn't help but scratch her head.

"No one's here to greet me, fine, but why's the art style even leaning towards cyberpunk?"

Everywhere you look, there are flying cars, aerial highways under construction, ever-growing high-tech buildings, and a giant island floating above the city, all reflected in Charlotte's eyes.

This surprised him.

Logically speaking, he only disappeared for forty days, and such a big change occurred in such a short time, which is not very reasonable even in the Marvel universe.

The technological revolution triggered by the successful artificial sun experiment is too exaggerated.

Could it be another world?

He tapped the wrist device.

"Hello, Carter?"

"Charlotte? You're back?" Carter's voice was full of surprise.

Hearing this, Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, they did come back.

"Yes, I'm back. I feel something's wrong."

"I know what you want to ask, come to me first."

Carter said, "See that island over the city? Yes, that's it. It's the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D. now."

Charlotte looked at the floating islands in the night sky and fell silent for a moment.

Then he said, "I think aircraft carriers are a better fit for S.H.I.E.L.D."

“That was indeed the original plan, but we received a large investment, so we changed it to an island.”

"invest?"

"Yes, it's Tony Stark's investment."

"why?"

“He’s trying to protect his dark past in this way.”

As soon as Carter finished speaking, Charlotte suddenly remembered.

“Great, I know the story of that guy and Red Skull too. Looks like I can finally live in a big villa.” Charlotte grinned.
