Chapter 326: Careless Little Spider, Host Gwen

Incredulous, Gwen looked at her own hands and murmured to herself in wonder, "This power, it's so wonderful, so magical!"

On the other side, Jinbin, who had been smashed into the metal wall and was stuck, suddenly exerted force. His right hand thrust forward, breaking free from the metal wall. Using his right hand as a pivot, he pushed his entire body forward.

With his formidable muscular strength, Jinbin forcefully "pulled" himself out of the indentation in the metal wall.

"Boom!" His corpulent body landed back on the ground, his expression turning increasingly maniacal: "I didn't expect such a terrifying power to reside within you. I'm quite envious."

"But, the stronger the power, the stronger the backlash it causes to its user." Jinbin said coldly as he flexed his sore muscles, "Can you really handle this kind of power?"

"Whoosh!"

Just as Jinbin started his verbal onslaught, Spider Gwen's figure instantly closed the hundred-meter distance between them, appearing right in front of the formidable fat man. Her speed was comparable to the legendary Quicksilver!

With a gentle wave of her arm, her small fist, without Jinbin having any chance to react, smashed into his jaw, distorting the face of this underworld boss and sending him spinning through the air once more.

This time, behind Jinbin, there was no metal building to break his fall. There was only a steel pipe protruding from the time-space collider, its sharp end aiming straight for Jinbin as he flew toward it.

If he truly collided with it, the underworld emperor would undoubtedly be skewered through, thoroughly chilled!

From a distance, Spider Gwen's eyebrows knitted together under her mask. Her figure vanished from where she stood, appearing above Jinbin's hefty body in a preemptive strike. A whip kick landed on his head, flipping him head over heels, followed by a downward chop that planted her light green dance shoe heavily between Jinbin's legs.

"Thunderclap Smash!"

The same old recipe, the familiar taste.

Jinbin, struck fatally in a vulnerable spot, let out an unearthly scream as his body shot downwards into the chaotic spatial currents like a cannonball.

After this ordeal, Jinbin's homesickness was probably cured. However, Gwen's seemingly fierce kicks also inadvertently saved this underworld emperor's life, preventing a gruesome end by steel pipe.

Ultimately, Gwen was still a kind-hearted girl, unwilling to deliver a death blow even to a villain like Jinbin who deserved a thousand deaths.

She too was a superhero with a no-kill policy.

Using the momentum from that last kick to flip back onto the platform, Jinbin's time-space collider was now operating at maximum power.

Knowing this was their last chance, the Spider-Men handed the USB key that could shut down the collider to Miles, then began their reluctant farewells.

Spider-Ham, Penny, Shadow Spider-Man, middle-aged greasy Spider-Man, little Spider... one by one, the Spider-Men jumped into their respective time-space vortexes, returning to their own universes. Gwen, mixed with the joy of victory and the sadness of parting with friends, approached the vortex of her own world.

Wait!

Suddenly, Gwen seemed to remember something, quickly turning to look in the direction where little Spider had disappeared, only to find that he had already been swallowed by the spatial vortex, and even the vortex leading to his universe had vanished.

With no other choice, she bid farewell to Miles with a thoughtful look and jumped into her own time vortex.

As her companions vanished one by one, returning to their original universes, Miles hurriedly inserted the prepared key into the collider's slot, and the next moment, everything calmed down.

Looking around the chaotic basement and at the villains now devoid of any resistance, Miles felt as if everything was so unreal.

Had the whole situation really been resolved perfectly without him needing to exert himself?

And his job from beginning to end was just to plug a prepared USB drive into its slot...

That was it!

Wasn't I supposed to be the main character?

How is this lying down and winning supposed to work?

With mixed feelings, he webbed up Jinbin and the others and delivered them to the police, then quietly disappeared from everyone's sight.

...

Meanwhile, our little Spider, Peter Parker, upon returning to his universe, felt like he had forgotten something.

"Oh no!"

Suddenly, he thought of something, shot out a web to grab the building across the street, and swung in the opposite direction.

"I've been in another parallel universe for several days, I need to check the time quickly, or Aunt May will panic if she finds out I'm missing. And at her age, if she gets too anxious..."

Talking to himself, little Spider moved towards his home at the fastest speed he had ever achieved.

As for what he had forgotten... he had truly forgotten it.

...

Spider Gwen, back in her own world, suddenly felt weak and had to support herself against a wall to prevent herself from collapsing.

Feeling her condition worse than ever before, Gwen couldn't help but shake her head and wryly smile, "Is this the backlash Jinbin was talking about? The stronger the power, the greater the backlash on the user?"

"This backlash has made me so weak; it seems his words weren't false."

Pausing, Gwen sighed helplessly, "I wonder if this power is temporary or permanent. If it's the latter, there shouldn't be any problem not returning it to little Peter, right?"

Just then, a magnetic male voice suddenly resounded within Gwen's mind: "Your condition is actually quite good. After using a power several levels beyond your own, the only price is a bit of fatigue afterward. If other chosen ones knew this, they might die of envy."

This voice appeared out of nowhere, causing Gwen, like a startled cat, to bristle and take a defensive stance as she looked around: "Who's speaking?"

The voice calmly responded, "No need to look around; I'm not in any other place but inside your body."

"What!?"

Hearing this explanation, Gwen was even more alarmed, her heart leaping to her throat: "Who are you, when did you enter my body, and what exactly have you done to me?"

Gwen's rapid-fire questions made the owner of the voice express great frustration: "Please! You're a young lady; don't talk like that, it sounds like I did something terrible to you. Know that I am just a wisp of self-aware divine power. I even helped you significantly before..."

Realizing who was speaking, Gwen relaxed and said, "So you're the trace of divine power that little Peter lent me. I heard he said you are the strongest Avenger in your world, so powerful it's hard to comprehend..."

"How powerful my strength is, you've already felt a hint of it, haven't you?" Clark responded helplessly: "Speaking of which, that little Spider was really careless. He was so focused on escaping that he forgot to take me back with him. Forget it, I don't want to complain about him. I'll help you adjust your condition first; just relax and wait."

As he spoke, the cosmic energy around her body began to converge towards Gwen. Within a few breaths, her depleted strength was fully replenished, and even her power was significantly enhanced.

Feeling the changes in her body, Gwen instinctively asked, "How did you do this?"

"I just absorbed the cosmic energy around here. After taking in most of it myself, I let a small part flow into you to remodel your body," Clark casually explained. "Jinbin was right in a way; using power that isn't yours puts a great strain on the body. If the user can't resist the backlash, they will gradually be assimilated by the power, losing their self and becoming a part of the true master of that power."

"Because of little Spider's carelessness, I need to find another way to return to my body, so I will have to reside in you for a while," Clark frankly explained his situation to Gwen: "During this time, you might need my power at any moment. To prevent you from being consumed by it, I had to modify your body. That's it."

Hearing this, Gwen was shocked but also relieved.

It turns out using divine power has such severe consequences. Luckily, the Clark residing within her didn't seem bad, or she might not even know when she was being manipulated.

Feeling a fondness for Clark, Gwen asked, "What do you need me to do for you?"

"My divine power being outside is always a risk. If faced with a strong enemy, it's not much for the power itself, but if the consciousness attached to it is damaged, it would also impact my true self significantly. So, I need to find a way to return."

"I can't act alone in my current state, so I'll have to rely on you for this."
