"There are two things we need to do immediately..."
"First, this city, even this country, absolutely cannot be saved—at least not by us alone. Our urgent priority now is to isolate the disaster within this country, preventing it from spreading to the rest of the globe, or even this Universe!"
"When we first arrived, I noticed that the technology level here is actually quite high, even featuring super-technology like the Dome Field. So, I'm going to find the switch for the Dome Field and reverse it to turn it into a cage for the zombies!"
Regarding Otto Parker's decision, the other Spider-Men seemed somewhat hesitant.
After all, doing this was equivalent to completely cutting off the lives of countless uninfected people in this country, locking them in the same cage as the zombies!
But choosing between the entire Earth—or even the Universe—and a single country, they quickly agreed with Otto Parker's proposal. They all raised their hands, expressing their willingness to go with Otto Parker to carry out this dangerous mission.
There might be a 'bleeding heart' among the Spider-Men, but there would certainly be no cowards!
But Otto Parker shook his head and refused, saying, "No, this doesn't require so many people. Too many might actually ruin things. I'll go alone. I'm the only one among us familiar with this super-tech. I have other arrangements for you..."
"You need to leave this country immediately to gather all the Superheroes in this World. Find the strongest among them and see if that person can use absolute power to directly destroy this country!"
"If not, have them help contact this World's nuclear-armed nations and have them nuke this place. In short, this place absolutely cannot remain!"
"I know some of you might not have the heart to do this, and I won't force you to personally carry out the destruction of a nation. But I need you to promise me that you will convey my words to the other Superheroes of this World and to the national leaders!"
As he finished, Otto Parker swept his sharp gaze over each and every one of them.
At this moment, Otto Parker's individual presence overwhelmed the collective presence of those dozen or so Spider-Men, making them afraid to meet his eyes.
"I understand. I will convey your words to them..." Finally, a relatively older, middle-aged Parker responded to Otto Parker.
Seeing that someone had agreed, Otto Parker said no more. He nodded and turned toward the edge of the cliff, intending to head to the capital of Wakanda to find the Dome Field switch.
Seeing this, the middle-aged Parker who had just responded hurriedly asked, "Wait, once we find the heroes of this World, how do we contact you? And how will you get out of the isolated field before this place is destroyed?"
Hearing this, Otto Parker paused, turned his head slightly, and said calmly, "Because of one person, this World already has unavoidable victims. Later, there will also be a decision-maker who orders the end of this disaster. Therefore, there naturally needs to be someone to take responsibility for this..."
"What you said before was actually correct. It was indeed I who caused all of this, and I am indeed the most cowardly person among you..."
"Because I was afraid of dying again, I gathered you all back then to fight against the Inheritor Family, not because of what I claimed about the fate of all Spider-Men..."
"Because I was afraid of dying again, when I discovered there was a Spider-Man more terrifying than the Inheritors, I was afraid that one day he would find out I wasn't the real Spider-Man and settle the score. That's why I was so desperate to find him, which resulted in the current tragedy..."
At this point, Otto Parker gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"Heh, actually, when I think about it, I'm just like the zombified Ben Reilly and all the zombies in that zombie Universe—nothing more than an evil consciousness occupying someone else's body..."
"Like those zombies, I should have died long ago instead of living in someone else's shell. So you don't need to contact me anymore, and you don't need to wait for me to come out. Because I was never Spider-Man... nor was I one of you..."
"Farewell, everyone."
As the last word fell, Otto Parker leaped off the cliff without hesitation. Four mechanical spider arms unfolded from his back, and with their assistance, he moved rapidly across the plains toward the capital of Wakanda...
Until this moment, Otto Parker did not use the Silk he had been using since possessing the Spider-Man body to travel.
Instead, he switched back to his old method as Doctor Octopus. The crowd of Spider-Men on the cliff suddenly saw in his receding figure a form they were all exceptionally familiar with...
That was Doctor Octopus, Otto Gunther Octavius!
The Spider-Men of the Spider-Army, having realized this, all had complex looks in their eyes.
They never expected that the Otto Parker who had once saved their lives from the Inheritor Family and gathered them to form the Spider-Army to save the fate of all Spider-Men was actually their enemy from fate, Doctor Octopus!
But now, even the Otto Parker they originally thought was the most reliable Spider-Man had left with a heart set on a final farewell. Where should they, these Spider-Men, go from here?
Would their Spider-Army disband after this incident ended?
After all, they even doubted themselves—would there really be another Spider-Man who could unite them all like Otto Parker did?
At least, they all believed they didn't have that ability...
But would there be?
The answer was yes!
Not only was there one, but that person was in this very Universe, standing on the same Planet as them!
Tens of thousands of kilometers away from Wakanda, at the border of America.
Ryan, in the form of Captain Marvel, who was currently taking a 'hot shower' amidst the combined strike of Tony's space-based weapon and Nano Tony's Electromagnetic Cannon, suddenly frowned and abruptly turned his head toward the direction of Wakanda!
"Hmm?!"
Because his Spider-Sense told him across a distance of ten thousand kilometers that more than a dozen unfamiliar Spider-Man signatures had appeared in that direction, and it also warned him of a crisis even stronger than the Skrulls!
This caused Ryan, who had originally intended to keep playing with the Spider Family and the Avengers, to instantly lose interest in playing around. He decided to wrap things up quickly and have the Captain Marvel identity go offline.
Consequently, Ryan, who had been pretending to struggle, began to have the Cosmic Energy light on his body flicker on and off, like a Tiga Ultraman reaching his limit.
"He can't hold on anymore!"
Seeing this scene, the two Tonys in the sky were instantly overjoyed. They hurriedly increased the output of their respective attacks to the maximum value!
BOOM—!
In the end, the two Tonys were not disappointed. The space-based weapon and the nano-armor, with their energy outputs pushed to suicidal levels, finally broke through the Cosmic Energy defense on Captain Marvel before they were scrapped, blasting her directly into the ground!
Was this evil traitor of humanity, Captain Marvel, finally dead?
