Marvel's Spider-Man: Web of Fate

But ever since Dr. Lizard appeared, everything has changed from the original history!

Sheriff Stacy didn't die; in fact, she was promoted.

Gwen Stacy didn't die either, and she and Spider-Man are still very much in love.

Spider-Man, who hasn't experienced these changes, is unlikely to be a "fellow enthusiast" of the Brotherhood of Mutants based on his usual behavior.

So Mystique didn't come looking for Spider-Man.

Not only that.

Due to various butterfly effects, Dr. Connors, who should have become kind and rational, has now reverted to the brutal Dr. Lizard and is assisting Gustav, the Brotherhood of Mutants, and Hydra in plotting this earth-shattering case!

But this major case is completely different from events in "history"!

What the future holds is now completely shrouded in mystery!

After analyzing these points, Professor X came to the conclusion that Wolverine's time travel might not have taken him to the "past" of his world, but rather to a "parallel universe" that was highly similar to his own!

This discovery is amazing.

It was also a desperate situation.

Because this would mean their plan had failed!

No matter what changes they bring to this world, they cannot change the ultimate fate of their world!

Mutants will become extinct, and so will humanity!

Because the Sentinel robots are programmed to kill not only mutants with mutated genes, but also ordinary humans who might give birth to mutants.

However, genetic mutation is itself an uncontrollable factor.

Therefore, people in their world deduced that when mutants become extinct in the near future, it will also be the death knell for the extinction of all mankind!

After listening to Wolverine's explanation, Peter's mind was in complete turmoil: "Could it be that my time travel caused this?"

“This has nothing to do with you, kid,” Wolverine patted him on the shoulder. “If the multiverse itself exists, then what we’re doing is destined to fail.”

Peter shook his head: "Even if the multiverse exists, there are certain differences between parallel universes. There must be a certain convergence between the same parallel universes. According to the law of entropy increase, a single universe is always going through a process from low entropy and low complexity to high entropy and high complexity."

"However, if two highly similar parallel universes increase in value for some reason, their total entropy will increase significantly, but their complexity will not increase as a result, which violates the basic law of entropy increase."

Therefore, they will inevitably converge, reducing the gap between entropy and complexity, thus reaching a balance point.

The more Peter talked, the more frustrated he became.

Because his heart was filled with contradictions at that moment.

On the one hand, if what Wolverine said is true, then his intervention is equivalent to helping The Amazing Spider-Man save the lives of his father-in-law, Sheriff Stacy, and his beloved Gwen, and also prevents The Amazing Spider-Man from having lifelong regrets.

On the other hand, without his intervention, the X-Men's time-traveling, future-reversing operation might have succeeded.

At least it won't be like it is now, where even with methods, there's still no hope of success.

“Peter.” Wolverine’s voice suddenly changed.

Although it was still his voice, Peter could tell from his tone and manner of speaking that he was a completely different person.

"If the multiverse itself is a giant web, then all our efforts are predetermined facts within that web. Perhaps we succeed in some worlds, but fail in others; this is the arrangement of fate."

That's what Wolverine said.

“You’re not Logan? You are…” Peter frowned. “Could it be you…”

“Yes, I am Charles Xavier, they call me Professor X, and I will be speaking to you in the future through Logan’s body. I cannot stay here for long, as it would cause irreversible damage to Logan.”

"Listen to me, kid."

"If there is a weaver in the vast web of the multiverse, then it must be a 'spider'!"

“The spider, the web weaver of the multiverse,” Peter repeated the words.

At that moment, Wolverine suddenly stepped forward, extended his finger, and tapped him on the center of his forehead.

"This is a gift, and also a reward. If possible, we hope that in the future, when you are able, you can come to our world and lend us a helping hand."

His words seemed to be both unfinished and already spoken.

However, when he said "a helping hand," Wolverine paused for a moment, then his eyes darted around wildly before he suddenly screamed and crouched down on the ground, clutching his head.

"What's wrong with you?" Peter didn't have time to figure out what Professor X meant by reward or gift, and quickly bent down to help Wolverine.

However, at that moment, his spider sense suddenly activated.

Peter instinctively bent over and stepped back.

Swish!

Sharp steel claws swept past where he had just been.

The Wolverine who had been crouching on the ground suddenly changed his demeanor, staring at him fiercely: "Who are you? Where am I?"

Peter: Huh?

Amnesia?

No, it's because the Wolverine from a parallel universe he was just talking to has already gone back.

But the one in front of us is the real Wolverine of this universe!

"Dude, don't rush me, let me explain." Peter tried to talk his way out of it.

"I'll wait until I beat you to a pulp before I listen to your explanation!"

Happy Lunar New Year's Eve! Happy New Year! May the new year bring you abundant wealth and good fortune!

Chapter 141 You are the real hero

As he spoke, Wolverine's claws reached out to grab Peter.

Peter performed several backflips and leaped away, then sprinted up the building wall behind him to a height of more than ten meters: "Logan, don't you want to think about it carefully? Did your future self really leave you with nothing?"

Wolverine was unable to catch up with Peter, so he could only stand there and stare at him helplessly.

Of course, another key factor might be that he didn't sense Peter's hostility towards him.

Wolverine doesn't have Spider-Man's spider sense, but he has an ability that can be described as "beast instinct," which he developed after years of fighting on the battlefield and experiencing various dangerous battles.

"What nonsense are you spouting? What future me?" But it was clear he still didn't trust Peter.

At this time, Wolverine had only recently returned to a peaceful life, and post-traumatic stress disorder made him distrustful of many things.

Peter felt like he was facing a lone wolf.

So he patiently explained to Wolverine everything, from being possessed by his future self to him coming to find Peter.

"Really?" Wolverine was still skeptical.

Peter nodded seriously: "More real than real gold."

He pointed to the corpse of Doctor Octopus not far behind Wolverine: "Look, that's the one you killed with your claws. He was the enemy. If he were my friend, why would I be here trying to reason with you? Shouldn't I have taken this opportunity to stab you?"

Doctor Octopus's corpse: I should just rot in the ground, why are you pointing fingers at me all the time? A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!

“What you said makes some sense,” Wolverine said thoughtfully. However, judging from his action of retracting his claws, he had clearly reluctantly accepted Peter’s statement.

Then he turned and left.

"Are you leaving already?" Peter leaped onto the wall in the direction Wolverine had gone, pacing along the wall at a similar pace to Wolverine, keeping their movements synchronized.

Wolverine, without even looking up, asked, "Are you inviting me to stay for dinner?"

“Uh, I don’t have any money,” Peter thought about the Amazing Spider-Man’s financial situation and decisively refused. “But have you forgotten that your comrades are still fighting the enemy in Washington?”

“Companions? I have no companions,” Wolverine said, quickening his pace as he walked forward, clearly not wanting to spend any more time with the annoying Peter.

"But in the future, you and they will be extremely close comrades!" Peter shouted. "Moreover, considering that they entrusted you with the important task of sending you to this timeline, you will be the person they trust most, their only hope, their savior! You..."

"Shut up!" Wolverine extended his claws, glaring at Peter. "That's me from the future, that's not me! I won't just randomly become friends with a bunch of strangers! I won't have any friends!"

With that, he retracted his steel claws and sped away from the area.

Peter stood still, watching Wolverine's solitary figure gradually disappear into the darkness, and suddenly shouted: "When winter comes, the lone wolf dies, the pack lives!"

"Get lost!" Wolverine roared from afar.

“Okay~” Peter readily agreed and stopped trying to persuade Wolverine.

He turned back into the power plant and found that Sheriff Stacy and the others who had been turned into lizardmen had returned to normal, but because of the drug, they were all still unconscious due to excessive physical exertion.

Peter took Sheriff Stacy off alone, led her to a rooftop, and woke her up.

"Mr. Stacy, Mr. Stacy!"

Sheriff Stacy slowly regained consciousness.

"Peter?"

“It’s me,” Peter said, removing his mask. “How are you feeling?”

"You're a little weak, but otherwise fine. What happened?" Sheriff Stacy pressed her hand to her head, frowning.

Peter gave him a general overview of the situation.

Then Peter hesitated and said, "Harry Osborn and Max Dillon."
