American comic book: Absolute Spider-Man

Chapter 9 Spider-Man: But Gwen Stranger

Spider-Man's power originates from a system that spans the multiverse and connects causal trajectories.

The system is composed of the goddess Ness, the web of life and destiny, and the spider totem, with each element interconnected and having its own function.

Nes was created by the ancient gods Oshutu and Gaia.

Oshtu is a member of the Vishanti, who wields white magic and dimensional rules, and is the deity worshipped and served by the Sorcerer Supreme and Kamar-Taj; Gaia, as the Mother Earth, carries the primordial power of all life.

Using their own divine power as a guide, the two merged fragments of rules from the multiverse to create Nice.

Nice has no concrete form, but she is often depicted as a little girl.

He does not interfere in worldly disputes; He is an extension of the will of Oshutu and Gaia, and the source of all spider power.

After time and space took shape, Ness, upholding the will of Oshutu and Gaia, used his own divine power as the thread and the cause and effect of the multiverse as the warp and weft to weave a web of life and destiny that covers all parallel universes.

This network has no physical form, suspended in the five-dimensional space of the entire Marvel Universe. As the "causal skeleton" of the multiverse, it connects the life trajectories of various universes with all possible futures, records the birth and death of life, and maintains the order of the multiverse.

The spider totem is the embodiment of Nais's will, which he has entrusted to the web of life and destiny. It is not an independent entity, but depends on the web for its survival and bears the responsibility of maintaining the stability of the web.

Ness does not descend directly to the mortal realm to select hosts; the responsibility of selection and the bestowal of power is undertaken by the spider totem.

Its core mission is to select mortals from various parallel universes who are compatible with the frequency of the Web of Life and Destiny and have stable souls, and then imbue them with the power of the Web, making them Spider-Man.

Being bitten by a spider is merely a symptom; the real key lies in the selection and power bestowed by the spider totem.

Those who fail the screening process and acquire Spider-Man-like abilities through various means can only be considered Spider-Ability Users, not Spider Totems.

Spider totems serve as "anchor points" in the web of life and destiny across the multiverse, maintaining the connection between their respective universes and the overall rules of the multiverse.

Each entity is interdependent and inseparable: Oshutu and Gaia are the creators of Nais.

Ness inherited the will of both, weaving and maintaining the web of life and destiny.

The Web of Life and Destiny serves as a carrier, bearing the will of Oshutu, Gaia, and Ness, and connecting all life in the multiverse with their destinies.

Spider totems serve as a medium, connecting the web of life and destiny with certain life forms in the multiverse, performing host selection and bestowing totem power.

This system is the core source of Spider-Man's power, and it is also the core reason why ordinary people like Peter, Gwen, and Miles in various multiverses are chosen by the Spider-Totem, become Spider-Man, and are connected to the Web of Life and Destiny.

"Sorcerer Supreme, so as long as I stabilize my self-awareness, I still have the qualifications to be Spider-Man, is that what you mean?" Peter asked.

Gu Yi nodded, and said meaningfully, "Yes, at that time there will be no need to search; fate will guide you to everything that is rightfully yours. As for now—see the guest out."

The mage king, who had been standing guard to the side, raised the hand wearing the sash and used the other hand to cast a spell in a circle.

A golden, sparkling portal appeared beneath Peter's feet, instantly transporting him from the New York Sanctum to Parker's room. The portal above his head closed with a burst of sparks.

Peter took out his phone, its screen cracked, and glanced at the time. It was noon the day after Gwen was bitten by the spider.

Peter was the only direct witness to Gwen being bitten by the radiant spider; she herself thought it was just some small insect that bit her.

Peter himself was full of questions at the time and didn't tell Gwen what had bitten her or what it meant.

After leaving the New York Sanctuary, many of Peter's doubts were answered.

Peter's biggest concern wasn't whether he was Peter Parker or a time traveler, because no matter who he was in essence, it wouldn't affect his self-identity or his plans for the future.

His biggest concern was his relationship with Gwen and the Spider Totem.

According to his memory, in the universe where Gwen became Spider-Man, Peter Parker did not gain spider powers, but instead became Lizard Parker for various reasons.

Fortunately, the universe he lived in was not that timeline, and he was still a suitable candidate for the Spider Totem.

Gwen, influenced by her sheriff father, has always been a person with a strong sense of justice.

In the past, when Peter was bullied, she was the one who stepped in and drove the bullies away.

Now that she has been chosen by the spider totem, she will likely follow the path of the Gwen Spider.

Peter sent Gwen a text message on his phone.

Let's rewind to this morning, to Gwen's bedroom in Stacy's house.

As soon as Gwen woke up, she immediately noticed something was wrong with her body.

Instead of the morning grogginess, I felt a strange lightness all over my body, as if the heaviness in my body had been instantly ripped away, and even my breathing became exceptionally easy.

She instinctively propped herself up on the edge of the bed and sat up, only to find that her body felt as light as if it had no weight.

When my fingertips accidentally touched the bed sheet, I could clearly feel every fiber of the fabric. The delicate touch was clearer than I had ever felt before.

Immediately afterwards, she found that her senses had become unusually acute:

The distant birdsong outside the window, the whispers of pedestrians on the street below, the ticking of the clock in the next room, and even the slight sound of the convenience store opening downstairs, all seemed amplified several times over, reaching her ears clearly. No sound could escape her notice.

The view became exceptionally clear; even the fine lines in the corners of the walls, the stitching marks on the curtains, and the tiny dust particles in dimly lit areas could be seen clearly.

A hint of doubt arose in Gwen's mind. She subconsciously moved her fingers and felt a slight tingling sensation on her fingertips. Unlike the stinging pain of a mosquito bite, it felt more like countless tiny hairs were hidden under her skin, gently adhering to the bedding with a slight adhesive force.

She tried to raise her hand, but her palm stuck firmly to the bed sheet beneath her—the suction force at her fingertips came suddenly, and she instinctively gave it a gentle tug, tearing a long gash in the soft sheet. The cotton wadding fell down along the tear, and the uncontrolled force startled her.

She looked down at her palm, which was covered in a piece of bed sheet. The sticky feeling on her fingertips was becoming more and more obvious, and the sensation of tearing the bed sheet still lingered on her fingertips.

She tried gently pressing her palm against the wall, and the suction force on her fingertips instantly increased, fixing her palm firmly to the wall.

The strange suction force made her heart tighten, and she subconsciously tried to pull her arm back.

The adhesive force dissipated, and Gwen's hand detached from the wall, along with the sheet that had been stuck to it.

To confirm that this was not an illusion, Gwen slowly turned to the side, her body sliding to the edge of the bed as lightly as a falling leaf, landing without making a sound, her steps so light that she could hardly feel the ground.

She took a deep breath and tried to leap lightly, but her body suddenly soared into the air and crashed into the ceiling.

Gwen instinctively stretched out her arms and legs towards the ceiling, and the suction force of her limbs reappeared, firmly sticking Gwen to the ceiling of the room.

Feeling the suction on her palms and soles, Gwen released her grip.

She was standing upside down on the ceiling, her long, golden hair hanging down from the ceiling.

Gwen released the grip on her feet and landed steadily on the bed.

At this moment, she was shocked by the sudden changes in her body and desperately wanted to find out the reason or find someone to share it with.

Gwen typed a line of text into Peter's chat box on her phone, then deleted it before clicking the send button.

This cycle repeated dozens of times until noon, when Gwen saw Peter's message on her phone.

Are there any strange changes in your body?

Peter's letter shocked Gwen. Peter—did he know about the changes in her?

Gwen replied immediately:
