Ch: 141 [Tony’s vision]

"With your DNA and my new Extremis, we'll evolve beyond the limits of mankind," Ironman stated, smiling confidently. "We'll become Superior. We'll lead humanity to a new age, a completely new era where there won't be any diseases, defects, or disabilities. Only perfection. Imagine it, Peter. Together we can achieve anything."

Spiderman stared at Ironman, his expression unreadable as he pondered over Ironman's words.

"No more defenseless civilians. No more innocent lives are lost due to wars caused by supervillains or terrorists. Everyone will live peacefully, free from fear," Ironman continued persuading Peter as he walked closer to him, "Think about it, Peter. Everyone will have the power to defend themselves. To achieve that a small sacrifice is needed."

"And when did you think so far and did what you did?" Spiderman asked curiously.

"Ever since I went through that hole in the sky. I had a vision. Earth lay in ruins, heroes gone, villains ruling everything. That day I saw the future, Peter. I saw death, destruction, and chaos everywhere. I saw myself dying alongside others. It changed me, boy. I realized that to save the world from such fate, sacrifices must be made because I saw what's out there. I saw an army of aliens that could destroy planets in mere seconds. They are coming for Earth and if you think I'll just sit on my ass doing nothing then think again," Ironman replied seriously, his eyes blazing with determination.

Peter fell silent for a moment, contemplating Ironman's words carefully. Finally, he spoke, "Haaa... Was it magic?"

"..." Ironman remained silent.

"Was it some kind of spell? A curse maybe?" Peter asked again as he raised an eyebrow.

"What? No. It wasn't-" Ironman denied immediately but got interrupted by Peter.

"Total reversal of morality by an ancient magic. The forbidden Inversion spell that turns heroes into villains and vice versa. You saw the destruction you caused and decided to change it by becoming evil yourself," Peter smiled as he revealed the truth. "If you turn evil now then that future you saw becomes nullified as the Inversion spell considers you good because turning evil makes you good."

Peter shrugged casually before continuing, "Then you will find a way out of this mess. Is that your plan? Tell me, Mr. Stark. Just what kind of artifact did you use that showed you the future? Or could it be that this is what Reed saw on the other side when the machine malfunctioned? Did you put a hidden bug on him and watch the future unfold?" He accused Ironman whose jaw hung open as he gaped in disbelief.

"...You... How did you...?" Ironman stuttered as he stared dumbfoundedly at Spiderman who smirked smugly.

He pointed his finger at him, "You reek of ancient magic, it's somewhat similar to Dr. Strange's time manipulation magic that you might have got from some artifact and I can sense traces of other dimension energy from your body, that you might have got through... Ah! That explosion wasn't an accident! You... You opened a dimensional hole and entered the same timestream as Reed went to, causing an influx of cosmic energy which messed up Reed's machine resulting in its explosion. Didn't you?" Spiderman revealed shocking Ironman who took a step back unconsciously.

"But... How? How did you know all these?" Ironman asked suspiciously as he narrowed his eyes at Spiderman who chuckled.

"Well... I got a good brain that can surprisingly think faster than yours sometimes, Mr. Stark. And with the Symbiote's enhancement, my thinking speed increased by many folds, so yeah... Even if I don't understand something, I connect the dots until I get an answer," Spiderman smirked as he crossed his arms over his chest arrogantly.

"I see..." Ironman nodded, impressed by the young hero's intellect before sighing dejectedly. "So I guess there's no fooling you anymore, eh?"

Spiderman shook his head, "Nope."

Spiderman appeared before him and landed a punch on Ironman's force field again, pushing him backward a few feet before he stabilized himself and shot a beam of repulsor from his palms at Spidey's chest, but Spiderman reacted quickly to open a tiny portal and sent the attack back at Ironman who avoided it by rolling sideways.

"Suit damage 50%" Friday reported again as Ironman gritted his teeth in anger.

"This damn brat!! Just how strong is he? Even Hulk can't damage my suit this fast!!" Ironman cursed Spiderman internally as he looked up to find Spiderman jumping on top of him like a bullet.

"Friday! Fire the unibeam!" Ironman commanded as Spiderman reached close to him. The arc reactor on Ironman's chest glowed brightly as he fired a powerful unibeam at Spiderman who simply stopped it with his fist.

"Wow! Unibeam, huh? Sadly, for you," Spiderman began to walk slowly toward Ironman as dark yellow energy emerged from his body, covering his body, "It's useless against me."

Ironman began to push the suit to its very limit and launched everything he had at his disposal. The missiles exploded, but there was no damage to Spidey's body. The laser beams just got reflected back, cutting through the remnants of the building. The two repulsor beams joined the unibeam beam together creating a stronger attack. Spiderman just kept walking slowly without caring for anything.

"Power 90%" Friday reported inside Ironman's helmet as sweat rolled down his forehead.

Spiderman right now, stood before him as his palm touched his chest, "Humff!" His fingers dug into Ironman's chest, breaking through the unbreakable liquid metal. His hand was slowly reaching toward Ironman's chest.

Ironman tried to solidify the metal around Spiderman's hand but failed miserably as the yellow energy surrounding Spidey burned everything that came in contact with it. He grabbed Ironman's arc reactor and overloaded it with his Chi.

"Here you go," Spiderman pulled his hand out and webbed outside the building, "Have a taste of my Chi."
