Ch: 143 [Choices & consequences]

[Meanwhile] [Kamar-Taj]

Ancient One and Dr. Strange were witnessing the event unfold before their eyes. This was a critical moment that might just decide the fate of this world. Out of all the future visions they saw recently through the time stone, this was a critical point where Spiderman kills Tony Stark thus delaying the arrival of Knull by a few years. But in return, Spiderman loses someone close to him, causing him to lose his sanity and turn to the dark side along with Wanda as they both try to use the power of Darkhold to gain knowledge to bring back the dead, causing more chaos.

However, in some of the alternate realities, Spiderman spares Tony thus preventing the scenario from happening. In those realities, he joined forces with the heroes to fight against Knull's army who arrived too early, but at the same time, Thanos appeared with his Black Order to get the final infinity stone on Earth, the time stone, resulting in a massive battle between Knull vs Thanos with with four Infinity Stones. This battle devastated Earth. They couldn't see further beyond that.

Either way, chaos ensued.

In some scenarios, the heroes won while in others, they lost.

So, this was a critical point where Spiderman either kills Tony Stark or lets him live.

"Are we just going to watch without doing anything?" Dr. Strange asked the Ancient One as Spiderman was talking with Tony after defeating him. "We can take on Knull and prevent Thanos by making a deal with Death or we can find the cosmic entities to assist us against them. There's Thor, we can ask Odin for assistance or Eternals, Inhumans... We can stop both Knull and Thanos, but imagine what would happen if they break the reality while using the Darkhold. If they open the gate of the underworld with that then..."

"The history will repeat itself. Dark Era will begin once again. Humanity's end will come with the rise of the darkness..." Ancient One shook her head.

"Then what should we do?" Dr. Strange asked again.

"The only thing we can do, Stephen... Watch and wait," She replied.

"Wait and watch?! I know the rules say not to meddle with the timeline, but I refuse to sit here and watch as the world burns." Dr. Strange shook his head in disagreement.

"I agree with you, Stephen. However, this is something Spiderman needs to do. It's his destiny, the Great Weaver decreed it. If we intervene, something even worse might come to pass. You know about the butterfly effect, right? Spiderman is the key to stopping Knull and preventing Thanos, but this is something he must do himself. Kill or save Tony is his decision, not ours. We can only pray that he makes the right one," Ancient One closed her eyes as Dr. Strange clenched his fists.

"..." Dr. Strange understood the situation. He sighed and just sat there, watching the event unfold.

Tony took out a USB drive from his pocket, "Do me a favor. Give this to Pepper Potts. She's the only one I told this about and man, did she try to stop me. I should have listened to her back then. So, give this to her. This contains a private message for her."

"What are you gonna do if you got a second chance?" Spiderman asked curiously.

"If I had a second chance, maybe think things through before taking steps... Maybe work on mending the relationship between mutants and humans, or fix this symbiote mess I've created. Gotta many people to apologize to. After that, perhaps, I'll spend some more time with Miss. Potts, forgetting about all these for a moment, live my life with a clear mind and not burdened by my fears and guilt. Enjoy my life... I guess," Ironman replied with a weak smile.

Spiderman didn't say anything and grabbed his arm, absorbing the chi from his body, while using his chi to heal his body. Tony's body began to glow with a bright yellow hue as the pain slowly vanished. His overheated body stabilized and his broken arms began to regenerate at a fast rate.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Tony asked in surprise as Spiderman let go of his hand.

"Well, you are like my hero, truth be told. When I saw what you did, I just couldn't hold myself back, but then again, killing you will reduce our force while facing that bastard. So, live and fix your mistakes. The innocent lives that were lost, go to their families and apologize to them. Then work to prevent future threats. When this is all over, tell the world what you did, and accept your mistakes. Oh, and don't even try to sniff around me for info. I've already told you what you need to know. The rest, you heroes and mutants figure it out. Kill Magneto and Red Skull if you must, because sometimes you just gotta make that choice..."

"You should go with your father. Take some rest for now."

"Are you going to visit me like you used to do in the past? I... I have a lot to talk to you about. I can understand if you are too busy... I mean..." Liz suddenly realized that she was tightly hugging him without even realizing it.

She blushed and released him as Spiderman chuckled seeing her cute expression.

"Of course, I'll come to see you. We have lots of catching up to do. So, Don't worry. Now go with your dad, Liz."

"Okay..." Liz nodded her head, wiping her tears as Spiderman looked at her and smiled under his mask.

Her father came toward Spiderman and said, "Thank you for saving my daughter. I don't know what I would have done if I lost her."

"Just doing my job, Sir," Spiderman replied as he scratched his head awkwardly. "Besides, she's strong. She'll get through this. Well, see ya..." He webbed away after that as Liz's father sighed and shook his head.

'Strong, huh...' He looked at Liz who was looking at Spiderman leave, "He's right. Come on, let's go home, Liz."

"In the end, he chose to save Tony Stark instead of giving in to his desire to kill. He's slowly maturing and thinking things through. Now, we'll begin our preparation to face Knull and Thanos who will be coming within 10 years from now," Ancient One declared as Dr. Strange sighed in relief.

"But what about Spiderman's team of heroes? How will they affect the future?" Dr. Strange asked as he sat on the floor cross-legged.

"As I've said before, Peter Parker is an anomaly. Every step he takes, and every choice he makes will shape our reality for better or for worse. Who knows, by the time those two beings arrive, he might be the most powerful being in this universe..." Ancient One chuckled as Dr. Strange shook his head.
