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

Chapter 27 Professor Connors's Persistence!

A particle collider that can connect to other multiverses.

This is undoubtedly an advanced technology that can be described as miraculous.

Although it was still in the early stages of the experiment, the entire particle collider was operating very unstably.

And just to get it running, it requires an unimaginable amount of energy.

Peter also knew that the energy problem, both in his past life and now, has always been a key challenge hindering the rapid development of human civilization.

If we break through the energy bottleneck, then exploring space and other planets will no longer be an unattainable dream.

If energy resources are abundant enough, then all kinds of technologies will flourish, and the level of civilization on Earth will rapidly advance.

Even looking at the entire universe, among the known advanced civilizations, the most precious thing is still energy.

Otherwise, why would Rocket Raccoon be surrounded and intercepted by the entire unmanned fleet simply for stealing a few Sovereign energy batteries in the universe of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2?

It was precisely in pursuit of near-infinite energy that the renowned nuclear physicist Dr. Otto Octavius ​​became obsessed with developing an artificial sun, hoping to obtain inexhaustible energy.

Ultimately, this triggered a massive crisis that affected the entire city.

But these will no longer be obstacles in the near future.

"Insufficient energy? For others, it may be a difficult problem to solve."

"But today, there is more than one way to solve the energy problem in this world!"

Peter's gaze shifted slightly, and he instantly thought of the most renowned genius in the Marvel Universe, whom he had met not long ago—Tony Stark.

A genius like him, he even managed to create the Arc Reactor, which possesses vast amounts of clean energy, using only a cave and rudimentary equipment.

This not only saved him but also freed him from his previous life of extravagance, transforming him into the universally admired superhero Iron Man.

"The arc reactor is indeed very suitable as an energy source for particle accelerators!"

"However, Tony Stark is still a playboy and has not successfully redeemed his life and become Iron Man after being kidnapped."

"But geniuses don't need to wait until a life-or-death situation to show their brilliance."

Peter firmly believed that as long as Tony was given direction and a goal was set, with his genius mind, he would be able to develop a real arc reactor as soon as possible.

After all, he was a monster-level genius who created a time machine after just hearing Ant-Man casually mention a few theories about time travel.

"Perhaps, after this visit is over, it's time to go and see that guy."

"It's not just about building the Arc Reactor; I also need him to help me cover up my situation and explain to Uncle Ben and Aunt May how I went from a poor boy to a billionaire."

……

As power was restored to the Osborne Building, the entire building lit up again.

"I'm very sorry for putting you all through this unusual situation, but it's all over now."

Shortly afterward, Professor Connors returned to the hall after dealing with the situation in the laboratory, and sincerely apologized to the students.

"To express my apology, I will personally lead everyone on a tour of the laboratory. During the tour, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask me, and I will do my best to answer them."

After apologizing, Professor Connors prepared to make amends with his actions. Originally, he only planned to have his assistant Gwen lead the team, but now he decided to personally accompany them on a tour of the laboratory: "Then, let's choose the reptile genetic mutation laboratory, which I lead, as our first stop!"

"Please follow me, everyone. Remember, don't fall behind!"

After Professor Connors finished speaking, he turned around and led everyone to the elevator, preparing to visit the laboratory he led.

"That's wonderful! Professor Connors is so kind; he's a truly remarkable professor!"

The students instantly became excited. Being able to be personally lectured by the professor and ask questions at will was undoubtedly a rare opportunity.

Everyone had long forgotten the sudden power outage and followed him with great interest, heading towards his laboratory.

Peter, who was lagging behind, noticed that Gwen, who was usually very capable and proactive in leadership, was now at the very back of the group, with a serious expression on her face, as if she was deep in thought.

At the same time, her left hand unconsciously covered the back of her right hand, as if afraid that someone would see the wound on the back of her hand.

"It seems she's still bothered by being bitten by the unknown creature."

"She probably doesn't know that soon, this bite will grant her unimaginable power, making her a highly acclaimed superhero."

Peter watched Gwen's retreating figure, a knowing smile unconsciously creeping onto his lips.

When the power went out and darkness descended, although he had focused most of his attention on the underground particle collider experiment, his awakened multiverse-level spider sense still accurately detected the suddenly appearing mutated spider.

He knew better than anyone that the spider did not belong to this universe, but was torn apart by the particle collider and pulled from another parallel universe.

"Wait, it seems that I didn't gain this special ability because I was bitten by a mutated spider, but rather because I suddenly received a mysterious and unknown gift during the moment of the power outage."

"And Gwen was the first person in this universe to have their skin bitten by a mutated spider and gain Spider-Man's abilities..."

……

Peter didn't care too much about it; perhaps it was the Spider God who gave him the Spider-Man powers.

Perhaps she recognized her own immense potential, which is why she was willing to break the rules and grant herself abilities far greater than those of other Spider-Men.

While thinking about this, he followed the group of people who were excitedly preparing to visit the laboratory.

However, both of them unknowingly fell to the back of the line.

Soon, they followed Professor Connors to the genetic mutation laboratory he was in charge of.

Inside the laboratory's glass petri dishes, various lizards were flicking their tongues, their cold gazes fixed on the intruders.

Some of them had just had their tails cut off, and the wounds on their tails had not yet fully healed.

Some lizards, however, appear to have had their tails cut off some time ago, and a new tail has already grown back, although it still looks very short.

"Look, everyone, this is the gene mutation project I'm researching: how to fuse the limb regeneration gene of reptiles like lizards with human genes, so that humans who have lost limbs can grow new bodies."

Professor Connors pointed to the many lizards of different colors and types in the laboratory and introduced them to the students.

When talking about his experimental goals, he couldn't help but show a hint of pride and self-satisfaction, as if he was filled with passion for his experimental project.

"Wow, is this kind of miracle really possible?"

Some students couldn't resist pressing their faces against the glass to observe the lizards up close. Their faces, though filled with longing, also held a hint of doubt as they asked a question.

"Of course it's possible, and it absolutely is. I've already completed the initial injection of the gene-editing agent into other animals!"

Professor Connors' expression was very firm; he absolutely could not accept that he had poured his life's work into a research project that could not be completed.

Therefore, no matter what, he is bound to succeed!

For all the disabled people in the world, and more importantly for himself.

He would pay any price for this, even his own life.
