He's Spider-Man in Marvel, but he insists I'm Superman.

Chapter 19 With great power comes great responsibility...

After rescuing the school bus and the private cars, Peter flew directly to the school and changed clothes in a deserted street.

He went from being a superhero who had just saved a disaster to an ordinary high school student again.

Unfortunately, when he arrived at the school, he was told that because of the sudden incident, his class had decided to give a day off so that those classmates who had just faced a life-or-death crisis could rest at home.

"Well, looks like I've benefited from this too!"

Although Peter wasn't on the school bus, most of his classmates were already on holiday, and he was no exception, also "enjoying" a day off.

"Perfect timing, I haven't had a chance to properly experience the flight ability I just acquired."

Peter had a sudden inspiration and instead of rushing home, he couldn't wait to experience his newly awakened flying ability.

Without hesitation, Peter found a deserted street and changed into his Spider-Man suit.

boom!

Immediately, his figure shot into the sky with a deafening, thunderous roar.

A white mist, like an umbrella, rose around him, as if a fairy's dress had been draped over his body.

"Wuhu~~"

Soaring into the sky, Peter finally fully experienced the ultimate exhilaration of free flight and couldn't help but shout out.

His figure sometimes weaves through the sea of ​​clouds, stirring up the white clouds that are like cotton candy!

Sometimes it speeds along the sea surface, stirring up a surging wave, like a sharp sword that cleaves the sea straight in half from the center.

He was often surrounded by a white, umbrella-shaped mist, accompanied by a sonic boom like thunder.

He crossed endless mountains and flew over boundless seas.

"Perfect timing! Let's take this opportunity to visit all the famous historical sites and scenic spots we never got to see in our previous lives!"

Simple flight no longer satisfied Peter, so he suddenly accelerated, flying at an extreme speed of more than ten times the speed of sound towards his distant destination.

Soon after, a towering, continuous mountain range appeared before his eyes.

It is the highest mountain on Earth, the Himalayas!

"This is truly the feeling of being on top of the world!"

At that moment, Peter unsurprisingly reached the summit of Mount Everest, gazing at the towering mountain range before him, and left his mark on it.

Subsequently, he spent less than half a day touring various famous historical sites around the world.

The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, Louvre Museum...

The Colosseum in Rome, the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy...

The Egyptian pyramids, the Sphinx...

The Great Wall of China, the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Terracotta Army in Xi'an, the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang...

He flew to almost every place he could think of without hesitation, traversing most of the globe in just half a day.

No passport required, no formalities needed, and if he wanted to, even satellites in space would have difficulty detecting him.

He then traveled to the frigid Antarctica and the Arctic, where he met the adorable penguin Gugu and even had a friendly competition with a polar bear to see who was stronger.

Finally, he soared straight into the sky, crossing the Kármán line as defined by humans at an extremely high speed, and arrived in space, a place that no one except astronauts had ever set foot in.

"Is this the Earth I live on? It looks really beautiful from space!"

Looking down at this blue planet from space gave him a strange sense of peace and contentment.

Humanity's other obsession besides immortality—freedom of flight—has already been achieved.

……

Although the Daily Bugle's front-page headline was published much later than other New York dailys, the impact and widespread public discussion it generated were unparalleled by any other newspaper.

Sure enough, the next morning, as soon as Peter got up and went downstairs to the dining room to have breakfast, he saw Uncle Ben holding the Daily Bugle, which had been published the day before.

Peter could see the bolded and enlarged headline, which was sure to spark widespread discussion, even from a great distance, without superhuman vision.

"Sure enough, no matter which universe it is, the owner of the Daily Bugle will always find a way to smear Spider-Man..."

Peter was not angry that the owner of the Daily Bugle had produced such a inflammatory newspaper.

Because he knew that some things would not change because of fools.

Moreover, he doesn't care what anyone thinks of him. Even if everyone in the world is against him, he can simply "not eat beef".

After all, he is neither a Superman with Kryptonite and the weakness of kindness, nor a Homelander who is afraid of being cyberbullied.

At least, like now, his family members still support him.

"Shit! That damned Daily Bugle is actually smearing a true hero, implying he's a clown hiding in the shadows and behind a mask, too ashamed to show his face..."

Uncle Ben had only read half of the newspaper in his hand when he became very angry, and even wanted to tear the newspaper, which he had subscribed to for five cents, to shreds.

"Okay, Ben, the child's still here, calm down!"

Aunt May came over, first giving Peter a gentle look, and then handing him a steaming cup of milk. She then handed Ben the coffee in her other hand and said to him.

"Mei, these media outlets have gone too far. We clearly witnessed yesterday that the hero in his protective suit saved dozens of children from danger and an entire family..."

Aunt May's words had an effect; Uncle Ben took the coffee, took a big gulp, and then slammed the newspaper on the table.

"Peter, you're all grown up now. You must remember not to believe what others tell you, but to see the true nature of things, especially these media outlets. For the sake of attention and sales, they have completely abandoned their conscience. You must never believe them easily."

Aunt May sat next to Uncle Ben, giving Peter a sincere and wise advice.

"Peter, your Aunt May is right, with great power comes great responsibility..."

"Ahem!"

Before Uncle Ben could finish speaking, Peter suddenly choked on the milk he was drinking, coughing twice and interrupting Uncle Ben's upcoming famous quote.

"I don't think I've been bitten by a spider yet, and Uncle Ben is already eager to utter this profound saying?"

"Drink slowly, Peter!"

Aunt Mei handed over a tissue at the right moment and said gently.

"Uncle Ben, Aunt Mei, I've finished eating. I'm going to school now!"

Peter quickly finished his sandwich, then slung his backpack over his shoulder and ran out of the house.

"Ben, the child is still growing; he can hardly understand such profound truths yet..."

"Mei, I was just moved to say this after seeing that real hero save the citizens yesterday!"

……

Meanwhile, a group of ninjas dressed in red arrived at the Fisk Industrial Building in New York.

However, the one leading them was an elderly woman with an Asian face who was leaning on a cane; she was none other than Madam Gao, the leader of the Hand.

Not long after, in a secret meeting room in the building.

Madam Gao slowly opened the door and went inside.

What came into her view was a tall, incredibly obese man with his back to her, wearing a pristine white high-end suit.

But at this moment, Mrs. Gao could not underestimate the fat figure in front of her, because this was none other than Kingpin, the underworld emperor who could shake the entire city of New York with a mere flick of his wrist!

"Mrs. Gao, you've come to see me so early. Is there some news about the particle collider?"

Kingpin, his massive body not turning around, spoke slowly with his back to Madam Gao.

"Mr. Kingpin, you're right, we've indeed made some progress!"

As Mrs. Gao spoke, she took out a newspaper from her person and casually tossed it toward Kingpin.

The soft newspaper, however, seemed to be infused with some strange power, gliding through the air without any sign of falling.

As they crossed the long conference table, just as they were about to touch the figure at the other end, they were suddenly grabbed firmly by a huge and powerful hand.

"Super Spider-Man?"
