I'm not Spider-Man, even though I'm parasitized by an alien!

Helen didn't know why Peter brought up Prometheus.

Her brow furrowed slightly.

"There is a race in outer space called the 'Space Knights.' Due to an unintentional act, one of them, whom I will call 'Prometheus,' created humanity after he descended to Earth."

Peter said something that confused Helen.

She had never heard of such a human origin.

Is Peter deceiving himself?

Are you sure you're not just making things up?

Peter was obviously just talking nonsense.

What he said was entirely the origin story of the Alien universe, and had absolutely nothing to do with the Marvel universe.

Even when he was talking nonsense, he didn't show the slightest bit of guilt.

When did the Space Knights visit Earth?

Helen decided to refute her opponent using her own biology.

"It was about 3 million years ago."

Peter calmly said, "A 35,000-year-old mural was discovered on the Isle of Skye in Scotland—a mural depicting giants pointing to the stars, which records their visit to Earth."

This mural naturally existed in the alien world of my previous life.

But in this world, Peter couldn't guarantee anything, and he guessed that the woman wouldn't directly verify it at this point.

"Around 3 million years ago, during what should have been a cold period on Earth, plants began to spread on land and newts emerged from the water."

Helen fell into deep thought.

Peter continued, “In order to destroy humanity, the ‘Space Jockeys’ created a deadly biological weapon—the Prototype, which was stored in a cylindrical petri dish and existed only as a black liquid.”

"This protist is extremely sensitive to its surrounding environment. Any slight change in the environment can trigger the protist in the petri dish, causing it to leak out. Once an organism comes into contact with the protist, it will become infected, causing the organism to become stunted, exhibiting extremely strong growth capabilities, and becoming highly aggressive."

Peter paused for a moment, then looked out at the dark night and said:

"Due to the DNA optimization and selection characteristics of protozoa, when protozoa attach to organisms, their structure changes and they take on the form of the host."

Helen looked up at Peter with a surprised and suspicious gaze.

The existence of such a protozoan does indeed make some sense.

However, it would be quite difficult to implement.

Peter, oblivious to Helen's expression, continued, "They created protozoa, formless microscopic genetic entities that, like viruses, infect different species and turn them into zombies, making them aggressive."

"etc."

Helen asked Peter in bewilderment, "Why do they kill humans? Didn't they create us?"

Peter said calmly:

"First, a space knight exiled to a barbaric Earth caused the emergence of highly intelligent humans on this planet. Humans should not have been created."

"Secondly, the Space Knights, for some purpose, including altering Earth's atmospheric environment so that it can become their race's new home in the future, will cultivate experimental humans with the same genetic structure as them. When that race is ready to take over Earth, humanity will have no reason to exist."

After explaining to the other party, Peter drank the light beer in his glass. "Prometheus, who stole fire, created mankind, and mankind is destined to be punished and destroyed no matter what. The way to destroy mankind is through this terrible creature."

Helen was stunned after hearing Peter's brief account.

If Peter wasn't lying, then this race of space knights is indeed despicable.

Is the "Queen" some kind of creature that destroys humanity?

She looked at Peter and asked, "Why can it reproduce through spores? And this virus only turns human bodies into zombies, so why did it give birth to a 'Queen'?"

"I have a protozoan embryo inside me. After the embryo is born, it spews out a reproductive organism. After you are parasitized by it, it absorbs part of your and my DNA genes and finally bursts out of your body."

Peter rambled on to the other person.

These are certainly not true.

The birth process of the Xenomorph is infinitely more complex than this.

In his previous life, in the alien world, the Space Knight created aliens to destroy humanity, but ended up destroying his own race.

Humans created androids, but these androids used humans for experiments, leading to the future destruction of humanity.

It's ironic that the creators themselves were destroyed by the creatures they created.

Helen frowned and asked Peter, "Why do you know all this? And why do you have this protozoan inside you?"

Peter asked the bartender to bring him another beer and said to Helen, "It's simple, because I'm the one chosen by the Space Knights to destroy the Earth, but I'm not very interested in it."

Helen frowned immediately upon hearing Peter's words.

After hearing what the other person said, she began to suspect that Peter was lying to her.

"Are you writing science fiction, Peter? And the kind of outdated British novels, with a complex mix of realities, where everyone is searching for the same answer: Where do we come from? A seemingly simple question that has been haunting us for ages, and then we make up all sorts of stories about it."

"Believe it or not."

Peter said lazily, "In short, I kept my promise and told you the truth. Whether you choose to believe it or not is none of my business."

Seeing Helen fall into self-doubt, Peter continued, "I will take the Queen with me. The Space Knights cannot know about its birth, otherwise they will destroy Earth prematurely. You are welcome to do so for the safety of Earth and humanity."

After fabricating a story that was half true and half false, Peter put down his wine glass and walked outside.

Although Helen suspected that the other party was lying to her, the details Peter told her were very real.

Also, is there really footage of these space knights visiting Earth on the Isle of Skye in Scotland?

She was filled with deep confusion.

Looking up and seeing Peter leave, she wanted to regain control of the "Queen".

But then I thought, what if what the other person said was true?

After all, Peter really can control the "Queen," and if such an unbelievable broken creature has been born, what else is impossible?

Helen, caught in a moment of hesitation, watched Peter's departing figure and downed the glass of red wine in one gulp.

"Alright, whether it's true or not, Peter, you can't escape."

Chapter 125 The Reason for Gwen's Birth

"Okay, see you tomorrow, and..."

Hesitating, Gwen said to Peter on the other end of the phone, "Peter, it's really nice to talk to you like this. I mean... after everything that's happened today, it feels very unusual."

After hanging up the phone, Gwen sat on the sofa, looked up at the damp night outside, and exhaled.

"Om~"

Her phone, which she had just put down, suddenly vibrated again. Gwen picked it up and saw that it was Liz calling her.

After composing herself, Gwen pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Hi, Liz."

She knew Liz and Glory were still in the hospital, but for now she could only pretend not to know.

The feeling of acting while wearing a mask even gave her the illusion that she was having a mental breakdown.

"Where am I? Uh, I'm at home. Yes, I'm still awake. I know about the hunter Kraven. Are you at the hospital now?"

Gwen feigned surprise, "Oh my god! What happened? Are you all alright?"

After listening to Liz recount how the two of them had accidentally caused a car accident while trying to join in the fun, and after confirming that Gloria was alright but had just fainted from fright, Gwen comforted them for a few moments before hanging up.

Liz's next words made her stop. "Gwen, can I ask you something?"

“Of course, Liz.”

Do you know what it feels like to be a superhero?

Gwen didn't know why Liz would ask that, and after thinking for a moment, she said:

"I don't know, maybe... it carries a certain responsibility, a heavy responsibility, after all, they have to face situations that are beyond the norm at all times."

After hanging up the phone, Gwen ruffled her slightly messy blonde hair.

A lot happened today, and she's a little out of it right now.

Why do I want to become a superhero?

Is it the responsibility of protecting the city that my father has always taught me?

I may have similar thoughts, but I wouldn't be that noble.

Peter's image flashed into her mind.

Perhaps... it's because I want to be someone's hero.

"Crack!"

Just as she was lost in thought, the door was suddenly opened.

Father George Stacy appeared at the door.

"dad."

"Gwen?! You haven't rested yet?"

George was startled to see Gwen sitting on the sofa.

"I'm waiting for you to come back, after all, so much has happened outside."

"Indeed, there have been quite a few things happening at the police station lately. First it was Spider-Man, then the vampires, and now the werewolves have appeared."

George sat wearily on the sofa, pressing his forehead. "It seems the 'special crime unit' that the mayor requested wasn't meaningless after all."

"Special crime?"

This was the first time Gwen had ever heard the word from her father.

"Yes, I am the commander of this group, and Officer Frank Custer is the deputy commander. The mission is to deal with people like Spider-Man and Spider-Woman, as well as super-powered criminals who have recently emerged."

Gwen nodded. "Just like S.H.I.E.L.D."

"No, we are not secret agents."

George stated that his identity was simply that of a police officer.
