Chapter 97: Spider Refuge

As Benjamin and the rest jumped into the portal, they traveled through this bright and glowing hexagonal tunnel.

Although they traveled through it fast, Benjamin could catch glimpses of web-like cracks around them which showed different universes through it.

So this was the Spider-verse?

While he was thinking that, he frowned and looked back.

Just now, he tried to expand his telepathy to see if he could probe those universes but found someone behind them.

Is that...Deadpool? What the hell’s he doing here?

Just as he was thinking that, he had already passed through the portal and landed in a white room.Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

Seeing Benjamin walk out, Peter shouted at him excitedly.

“Capt! How awesome was that!? We actually crossed universes!”

“Alright, stop geeking out. More importantly, close the portal. Now.”

Miguel frowned but since everyone was here already, he just closed the portal as told.

“What’s wrong?”

Gwen asked.

“Oh, it’s nothing. Deadpool was right behind us and I don’t really want to deal with that guy.”

“...”

Everyone was speechless.

Peter looked at the area where the portal was and asked.

“Uhh, what happens to him now that the portal closed? Is he going to be stuck in limbo?”

“No. To begin with, these bracelets just let us control our destination through the Spider-verse. Even without it, you can still travel through it, just that you’ll most likely get lost and end up in some strange world.”

Miguel answered.

Benjamin patted Peter to reassure him.

“It’s fine. He can’t die anyway.”

“...”

Peter was speechless.

Meanwhile, Deadpool finally landed through one of the cracks and arrived in a strange world where everyone’s heads were oversized, small bodies, and huge hands.

Deadpool fell silent at first while looking at the chibi Avengers.

Suddenly, he laughed.

“Ha! Looks like you’re head’s finally proportional to your ego, Iron Man! Can’t say the same to Hulk though. What’s with those huge hands, guys? Masturbate much?”

“I don’t know who you are but you’re dead!”

“HULK SMASH!”

Chibi Iron Man and Hulk shouted angrily and began to attack Deadpool.

Back to Benjamin and the others.

After leaving the white room, the group found themselves surrounded by Spider-people of different sizes and appearances.

Some of them were walking through the walls, the ceiling, the slanted pathways that crisscrossed throughout the area, and some just...walking normally.

There are also those that has extra legs, extra arms, extra eyes, riding on spider vehicles, spider horse, mechs...

Anyway, there’s a lot of them.

Peter and MJ were absolutely dumbfounded at the sight before them.

While still shocked, Peter asked.

“How many of them are Peters?”

“Why don’t we find out?”

Gwen smirked and shouted.

“Peter!”

Suddenly, about 90% turned their heads and greeted her.

“Oh hey Gwen!”

“Wassup Gwen?”

“Gwen!”

“How’s your day, Gwen?”

“Yo Gwen!”

“Long time no see Gwen.”

Gwen chuckled turned back to Peter.

“That many.”

“...Great Scott!”

When Peter exclaimed that, another Spider-Man that seemed a bit taller than him and suit that had a huge white spider on his chest chuckled.

“Mom!”

“???”

Confused, MJ didn’t know what to do. Everyone also stopped talking and looked over in their direction.

Miguel sighed and placed a hand on Spider-Girl’s shoulder.

“She’s from a different universe, May. She’s not your mother.”

Spider-Girl froze when she heard that.

Taking a deep breath, she slowly separated herself from MJ and looked down.

“Sorry...”

“It’s fine...Umm, was I, or rather, your world’s version of me...your mother?”

Spider-Girl nodded and removed her mask.

She had short brown hair inherited from her father, Peter, and beautiful green eyes from her mother, MJ.

“I’m May. May Parker. They call me Spider-Girl.”

Peter was amazed by the wonders of the multiverse and couldn’t help but say to MJ.

“So that’s how our daughter’s gonna look like?”

This instantly earned a blow from her elbow to his ribs.

“Don’t get ahead of yourself now.”

“M-MJ...just a reminder...you have super strength now...”

“Oh don’t worry. I remembered. It won’t be painful otherwise.”

“...”

At the side, PS4 Peter winced.

“Yep...she’s an MJ alright...”

MJ ignored Peter and smiled at Spider-Girl.

“May, is it? It’s nice meeting you. Although I’m not your mother, I hope we can still be friends.”

“Definitely!”

At this moment, the other Spider-people approached as well.

Superior Spider-Man frowned and was the first to speak up.

“I get the spider kid and the redhead but...who’s the kid and this guy?”

“Ah, this one’s Leah. She was attached to me before we met Miguel over here and I sorta forgot she was still on my back so she’s here with us now.”

“...”

Superior Spider-Man was speechless.

He turned to Miguel and asked.

“Is this guy supposed to be the Prodigy?”

“...Don’t ask me. He’s the Spider-Man of that universe. Unless there’s more, he should be the one.”

Miguel sighed and shook his head as well.

Peter stared at them.

Why do they keep insulting his intelligence!?

“And this one?”

“Oh, I’m Benjamin Freed. I’m this Peter’s boss so I’m tagging along.”

“...”

Superior Spider-Man was speechless again.

“Is this a joke? Does this look like a fucking field trip!?”

He snapped.

Peter was surprised and couldn’t help but ask.

“What’s wrong with that Peter? I thought we’d all be fun.”

“Oh, that’s not a Peter. Well, he is. But at the same time not...He’s Doc Ock in the body of Peter. It’s complicated.”

One of the Miles Morales answered.

Peter was confused.

“Sorry, what? Doc Ock is in his body!? Do I have to worry about my Doc Ock taking over me too!?”

“Uhh, I don’t know? Maybe?”

Miles shrugged.

Benjamin knew that Peter’s going to start overthinking it and reassured him.

“Don’t worry, if that happens, I’ll make sure to put you in prison.”

“That’s not going to help!”

As they were talking, Cosmic Spider-Man approached them as well.

“Benjamin Freed, is it? I can sense some kind of divinity from you...are you a God?”

“Well, I suppose you can say so.”

Cosmic Spider-Man smiled and nodded.

“It would be good to have you here. I’m also a Peter Parker. But in his world, they call me Captain Universe. You’ll all be safe here. Welcome to the Spider Refuge.”
