A Bizarre Adventure Starting with One-Punch Man

Just when he thought everything was settled, he found another Spider-Man at Spider-Man's grave.

However, this is the middle-aged version with a fuller figure.

Whether he's real or a fake, he's now tied up and at Uncle Allen's house.

So, it's time for a proper interrogation!

……

Johnson woke up in the darkness.

As perception gradually opened up, the surrounding space-time gaps remained chaotic and disordered, but in the darkness, intricate spider webs emitting white light occasionally flashed by.

Thanks to this, he knew he was moving at high speed.

Trying to move his body, Johnson touched a strong spacetime barrier.

The sensation from his fingertips revealed that this seemingly solid barrier was actually as fragile as a bubble. With his current strength, he could easily break free with just a little more force.

As I pondered, a sudden realization dawned on me.

Under the starry night sky, a modern city that is both familiar and unfamiliar comes into view.

He felt familiar with the city because he had come to know it in many ways; yet it felt strange to him because he had never actually been there before.

His gaze locked onto a goddess statue holding a torch aloft on the coastline, and Johnson immediately confirmed it.

This is New York.

And he himself was hurtling down to the ground at an extremely high speed!

Just before the impact, Johnson exerted force with both arms, unleashing terrifying brute force. The barrier of spacetime energy shattered instantly, turning into countless twisted fragments of different colors that dissolved into the air.

With his telekinetic powers activated, Johnson steadied himself amidst a cluster of towering office buildings, with the famous Times Square right beneath his feet.

Neon lights flashed, pedestrians filled the streets, a scene of prosperity.

However, the news being played uniformly on the surrounding LED screens seemed a bit off.

Spider-Man dies from his injuries in a massive earthquake in Brooklyn. His true identity is revealed to be Peter Parker, a 26-year-old graduate student and part-time photographer, a good neighbor of New York City who has left his citizens forever.

Ah this.

Johnson landed on the rooftop of a small building. The people around him were just as surprised and astonished as he was, and they all took out their phones to confirm the news.

In the blink of an eye, an overwhelming sense of grief enveloped the entire city.

"It seems it's true."

Johnson narrowed his eyes, finally confirming which world he had entered.

This is the Marvel universe.

As is well known, the Marvel universe has nearly an infinite number of multiverses, and the vitality of these universes depends on the sales of the comics and the imagination of the writers.

It may undergo many changes, or it may be restarted with a snap of the fingers.

New York City in the Marvel universe is the center of countless major events, a peaceful city with a simple and honest folk culture.

Has Spider-Man been confirmed dead? That's certainly bad news.

Johnson wasn't sure how long the "short stay" described in the "black box" actually lasted, so it seemed he needed to investigate the matter as soon as possible...

As I pondered, a familiar figure in red and blue flashed past in my peripheral vision and stopped on the glass curtain wall of a nearby office building.

Johnson: ? ? ?

Then look at the special message that's still playing on a loop on the big screen...

Fake News?

……

"What the hell? I'm already dead?" Peter Parker stared blankly at the news playing on the screen below, his mind a jumbled mess. "26 years old, but even including the time of the annihilation incident, I'm only 21! And graduate school? Come on, I haven't even started college yet! So... Mr. Strange's spell went wrong again? God, what on earth happened..."

“That’s exactly the question I was going to ask you, Mr. Parker.”

"Oh oh oh!!"

Peter Parker was startled, his hair standing on end under his suit. He did a series of backflips on the glass wall, creating a distance of nearly ten meters, before he could finally see the speaker's face.

Hey, how come this guy is so handsome and so tall?

This is not fair!

He must be at least 1.95 meters tall, right?

That physique, those exaggerated muscles... he's just as tall and strong as Thor from Asgard!

"Wait...why are you flying? My god, you can actually fly? A superpowered person? A hero, or a superpowered villain..."

"Stop! What nonsense are you spouting?" A vein throbbed on Johnson's forehead as he interrupted the rambling little bug. "My name is Johnson, I'm a police officer, and a part-time hero."

“A hero? I mean, you’re a hero too?” Peter was stunned. Perhaps Spider sensed that Johnson meant no harm. “I understand. You’re not a member of the Avengers, are you? That’s why I don’t know you.”

“What you said… is at least logically correct,” Johnson floated in front of Peter, who had calmed down a bit, put his hands in his pockets, and pointed out the current situation directly, “The hero organization I belong to is not the Avengers, but the Hero Association, and the world we are in now is not our respective universes.”

Peter: !!!

"hiss……"

A similar stinging pain came from the back of my head; the spider-sense between different individuals instinctively sensed information from their own kind.

Peter, unable to process the information conveyed in Johnson's words, stared at Johnson in shock: "This feeling is absolutely right, you... feel the same way as me?"

“Yes, I do possess some spider-like superpowers.” Johnson nodded, making a gesture with his right index finger and thumb that Korean men find utterly repulsive. “Just a little bit.”

“I see,” Peter Parker finally regained the composure befitting a superhero, hesitatingly removing his mask. “Mr. Johnson, I think we need to have a serious talk.”

“Of course,” Johnson said, gesturing invitingly as he saw the handsome face of Tom Holland hidden under the hood. “I know a suitable place.”

Chapter 25 It doesn't matter, Peter will take action.

"So, Mr. Johnson, why do you want me to treat you?"

"Because my world doesn't use dollars."

"..."

Johnson and Peter sat in a burger joint, surrounded by piles of food.

Perhaps because the time travel distance was too long, Johnson was indeed a little hungry.

Peter was only wearing a spider suit he had sewn himself when he traveled through time, but now he's wearing a beige trench coat that Johnson kindly provided.

Since it was a coat that Johnson had prepared for him, the trench coat looked a bit bulky on Peter, and he had to roll up the sleeves twice to barely reveal his wrists.

Through conversation, Johnson learned from the other party's description of his experiences that the Peter Parker in front of him came from the Marvel 199999 universe, also known as the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

He was preparing to dismantle a criminal hideout that had already been identified when the wall he was standing on suddenly transformed into chaotic spacetime matter, and at the same time, a strong suction force came from it. After struggling to no avail, he was forcibly pulled into this universe.

Thinking of the recent death of Spider-Man in this world, Johnson couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

It sounds like a plot from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, but that animated film doesn't connect with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Could it be that my intrusion caused the timeline to shift?

Given the nature of the Marvel multiverse, it's not impossible... no, it's very likely!

Having experienced Endgame, Aunt May's death, and the fact that his best friends and comrades have all forgotten their identities under the influence of Doctor Strange's spell, this young Spider-Man now lives alone in a shabby, cheap apartment. He can be considered a mature Spider-Hero.

As we all know, most Spider-Men, except for a few like Parker the Octopus, share a common characteristic.

That is poverty.

(At that moment, Saitama, who was jogging, suddenly sneezed: Achoo!! Who's talking about me?)

That's why Peter, sitting opposite Johnson, looked aggrieved and whispered, "I've seen what's going on at the cashier. The people here use US dollars, but the amounts are completely different from what I'm used to. This means I probably won't be able to spend the money I have!"

"Oh."

"Oh...is that all?"

Peter covered his face. The tall man opposite him, who looked only a few years older than him, calmly ate his fries, seemingly unconcerned about the bill.

Knowing he had no money to pay the bill, he couldn't eat a single bite.

On the contrary, Johnson was in a pretty good mood.

On the way to the hamburger shop, the element picks up and captures a spider superpower from Peter.
