"I heard you're just a freshman but you're the strongest among us." Dr. Octavius Parker approached, but Peter stepped back, asking, "What do you want? Are you trying to pick a fight with me again?"
"No, I just wanted to say, I'm really sorry for my previous impulsive behavior. We shouldn't have fought, we should be united and prioritize the common cause." As Octavius Parker approached and patted Peter's shoulder, a familiar voice echoed from a device, reminiscent of a transmitter, on his wrist:
"Don't apologize to him, he almost bent your tentacles. In my opinion, you should beat him up again, he must be out of power now!"
From the tone, it seemed like the voice controlling Octavius. Peter flexed his wrist and said to Parker, "Come on, let's have another match!"
"Alright, enough with the bantering," Captain Universe Spider-Man intervened, separating the two, and then spoke to Peter, "I came to talk about that assignment that I had received before."
"I came here to ask about that." Peter replied as he looked at him.
"Eternity revealed more to me. He mentioned that in the dream of this doctor named Schiller Rodriguez, there are a lot of things that are not supposed to exist in our cosmos. This could very likely lead to the cosmos collapsing."
Captain Universe Spider-man sounded very serious. It didn't seem like he was lying, causing Peter to furrow his eyebrows.
"He told me, there should ideally be only one Schiller Rodriguez in the Multiverse. However, for unknown reasons, he created many Dream Universes and even punched a hole in the boundaries of these Dream Universes, allowing all his dream counterparts to escape."
"These beings will severely undermine the stability of the cosmos. If we don't capture them, they will truly cause chaos."
"But we cannot harm Doctor Schiller," Peter reiterated. "He's a good man. He has saved countless lives and altered numerous people's destinies…"
"I know, don't get agitated," Captain Universe Spider-Man sighed. "Eternity has commanded us that we must capture these Shillers from the Dream Universe without causing harm to him."
"Why is that?" The Shadow Spider-man, draped in black clothing, asked.
"More accurately, we can't have too many interactions with him. If we could capture him without revealing our own identities, then it would be ideal."
Unsure of how to explain the instructions Eternity gave him to his fellow Spider-Men, Captain Universe Spider-Man constantly gestured with his hands.
"To put it simply, our cosmos exists stably. If some entities that don't belong here run in, the stability decreases. Once it decreases to a critical point, the cosmos collapses."
"However, this stability isn't reduced by these strange entities causing destruction, but due to their intersection with the original roles within the cosmos."
"The longer the interaction or intersection, the quicker the stability decreases. Therefore, our aim in capturing him isn't to annihilate him or prevent him from causing havoc but to prevent him from intersecting with the inhabitants of our cosmos."
"As a result, the simpler our process of capturing him, the better. It would be best if we could set traps beforehand so that we don't have to show up, see him, talk to him, or listen to him speak. If we can return him to his original cosmos this way, that would be the best."
"If we all end up fighting him, the stability will definitely decrease rapidly. Moreover, the more he reveals his strange aspects, or the parts that don't belong to this cosmos, the more rapidly the stability will decrease."
Captain Universe explained all this in one breath, leaving everyone a little stunned.
Peter understood the concept, but he had no idea about the principles behind it. When he was about to ask further, Captain Universe said, "Due to certain reasons, Eternity can't give me more clarity. Offering too many details can also undermine stability. Anyway, we've received a daunting task…"
"We need to bring all Schiller Rodriguez back to their original Dream Universe following the simplest methods. We need to do this in three steps."
"The first is to find the original Dream Universe he belongs to. The second is to capture these Schillers that are running amok and return him to that universe. The third step is to seal the hole in the wall of the Dream Universe to prevent him from running out again."
"Sounds as simple as putting cheese in the fridge." The Amazing Spiderman evaluated, but by then, Peter was frozen in place, he said, "....You're probably dreaming."
"The first step might be a bit simple, but the last two are just hell difficulty. We can't even show our faces, how are we going to capture Doctor Schiller?" Peter asked incredulously.
"Don't worry, Eternity has given me some weaknesses of the target. We can use these weaknesses to set traps, for example, it is mentioned among the weaknesses that he can turn into a grey mist, we can use a strong gravity device to suck his weapon into a device, that is, using a vacuum cleaner...."
"A vacuum cleaner?" Peter made a troubled expression, thinking that the methods were too reckless.
But unexpectedly, this method was unanimously approved by the other Spider-Men, and quickly, several individuals with the strongest scientific research capabilities in the team began to jointly develop a vacuum cleaner trap, including Peter, the small science talent personally approved by the Amazing Spiderman.
Joining the experiment, Peter became a lot more focused. They soon made a simplified version of the vacuum cleaner trap and planned to find a Schiller from a universe to test it out.
"Go to my universe." Otto's voice came from the communicator on Dr. Octavius Parker's wrist, he said: "After I returned to my universe, I found a suspicious figure in the monitors in New York, he is not a native of this universe, he should be the Schiller you are talking about."
"Alright, but I must be present for the entire process, I need to confirm that this machine will not harm Doctor Schiller." Peter said firmly.
No sooner said than done, several Spider-Men carrying the not-so-big vacuum trap were transported by spider silk to the universe where Dr. Octavius Parker was located.
They landed on the roof of the Parker Industrial Building, the tallest building in New York, from which the entire city could be seen at a glance.
"The suspicious figure tends to appear at dusk, he really likes to stand on the edge of high buildings, overlooking the entire city, we can put this trap on the top of the building he frequents most, that way, it's very likely he will step on it."
Otto suggested a simple method, and the Dr. Octavius Parker, controlled by Peter Parker, agreed: "I see no problem, let's see... it's this building, let's set up a trap here first."
"I always feel you guys are oversimplifying things," Peter sighed, shaking his head, but he didn't say anything more.
After the trap was set up, the other Spider-Men stayed on the roof of Parker Industries, each with a pair of binoculars, looking towards the building with the trap.
At dusk, the setting sun hovered over the horizon, casting a dim light over New York City. Suddenly, a tiny black spot appeared in the sky over New York.
Then, he drifted slowly down from the sky like a rootless duckweed, looking very small under the setting sun.
Soon, he stood on the edge of a building's roof, looking down at the entire city. Peter looked closely with his binoculars, and then he exclaimed: "His eyes! What's wrong with his eyes...."
At that moment, Captain Universe Spider-Man noticed that the target was not standing on the roof where the trap was, so he said, "Prepare to execute Plan B!"
In an instant, many building roofs around them revealed the hidden Spider-Men, the content of Plan B was to press the target onto the trap through the Spider-Men's siege.
At the command of Captain Universe Spider-Man, countless Spider-Men leaped high, forming a circle, towards the figure in the center.
Peter reached out his hand, shouting, "Wait! Something's wrong! Don't move!!"
In an instant, the figure, outlined by the setting sun and looking exceedingly small, also jumped into the air, spun around in mid-air like a fallen leaf, then descended rapidly, his cold voice echoed through the New York skyline:
"Shenluo Sky Expedition!"
