Chapter 48: The truth behind Spider Alliance
"What do you mean? I killed myself?"
"It's not you, it's your variant in other universes. Since you know about the multiverse, you should know that there is a Spider-Man in every universe.
And these Spider-Men formed a Spider-Alliance, and then they wanted to kill you. In fact, they didn’t want to kill you at the beginning, they just didn’t want you to become Spider-Man.
But you escaped their control and finally gained spider powers, so they decided to kill you." Venom explained seriously.
"I don't quite understand. Since they are all Spider-Man, why do they want to kill me? There must be a reason, right?" Although Peter was mentally prepared, he still couldn't figure it out.
"Because there is a powerful family in the Earth-001 universe, called the Heir Family. This family has always relied on capturing animal totems to maintain the family's strength.
Years ago, they heard a prophecy that their family would eventually be destroyed at the hands of a certain Spider-Man.
So from that time on, they relied on the power of the Weaver to travel through the multiverse, hunting Spider-Man in each universe and absorbing Spider-Man's power.
By the way, the Master Weaver is the god of the Spider Totem, responsible for maintaining and supervising the existence of the web of life and destiny, which can connect the parallel universe where the Spider Totem exists."
"The heir family?"
He was naturally familiar with the so-called Inheritor family mentioned by Venom. As far as he knew, the Inheritors were a clan of totem hunters from Earth-001.
They are the lowest of all totems in the multiverse, as they can only parasitize on the power of others.
They feed on the life force of animals, human totems, and totems of gods in order to become more powerful by absorbing the power of other totems.
It is for this reason that they are also called vampire totems.
But what does this have to do with Spider-Man from other universes wanting to kill him?
With curiosity, he turned his gaze to Venom and said, "The Inheritors hunt Spider-Man across the multiverse. According to this logic, Spider-Man from other universes should help me together, but why do they want to kill me?"
"Because you are very special, you play a vital role for the Heir Family. So far, the Spider Alliance and the Heir Family have always been evenly matched, and neither can do anything to the other. But once the Heir Family devours your power.
Then the balance in between will be completely broken, and even if the entire Spider Alliance is mobilized, it will be unable to fight against the Heir Family. At that time, it will be the end of the Spider Alliance.
And besides you, the Heir family is also trying to collect three other special spider totems to complete some kind of evil ritual.
The three spider totems are the Other, the Bride and the Descendant, which is also the sacrificial ceremony that the vampire heirs dream of.
Because according to the prophecy, if the blood of these three special spider totems is used to dye the web of life and destiny red, and then a special ceremony is held, Spider-Man will never appear again.
In this way, the heir family will completely break the prophecy and continue to grow and develop.
However, these three special spider totems are currently protected by the Spider Alliance. Because the strength of the two sides is similar, they were prevented from succeeding.
In order to break this deadlock, the heir family turned their attention to the universe you are in and have been waiting for the appearance of the Spider Totem.
Once a new spider totem appears in this world, the Heir family will take action to devour it, thus breaking the balance of power with the Spider Alliance.
This is naturally not what the Spider League wants to see, so in order to avoid this situation from happening, the Spider League has been secretly preventing you from becoming Spider-Man.
But for some reason you still gained spider superpowers and became one of the spider totems. This situation was completely out of their control.
So the Spider Alliance finally decided to kill you before the Heirs find you. As long as you are dead, the threat from the Heirs can be fundamentally resolved."
Venom told everything he knew.
Hearing this, Peter couldn't help but clench his fists. Facing the threat of the Inheritor family, Spider-Man from other universes didn't think about how to unite with him to fight against the Inheritors, but thought about killing him directly.
This kind of logic of "letting my friend die rather than letting myself die" is really unique!
"Because you are afraid of the heir family, you decided to kill me. You think I am a soft persimmon!" Peter spoke in a cold voice in the sea of consciousness, and then a powerful force came down, causing Venom to kneel down.
"No, no, don't get me wrong, I don't really want to kill you, I'm not Spider-Man, I'm just a symbiote that parasitizes Spider-Man.
In my universe, the Spider-Man I was parasitizing was killed by the Inheritor Wheel, so after that I pretended to be Spider-Man to satisfy my own desires and eat some human heads.
Then I was captured by the Spider Alliance, and then they used me as a tool and threw me into this universe. So I am also a victim! I am miserable too!
If I don't agree to them, they will kill me directly, but if I can complete the task successfully, they will send me back to the original universe.
Then they allowed me to continue being Spider-Man, and I thought this deal was a good deal, so I agreed." Venom said pitifully.
"You are the symbiote Venom, why the hell are you Spider-Man? Can you please clarify your own identity?" Peter was speechless when he heard Venom's words.
He never thought that in a parallel universe there was a symbiote who wanted to be Spider-Man. This was simply too crazy, too crazy.
"Everyone has his or her own dream, right? My dream is this..." Venom's eyes were shining with the great light of his dream.
But before he could finish his words, Peter in the sea of consciousness relied on his powerful mental strength to hang Venom up and beat him up.
"Dream, you still have the guts to talk to me about dreams? For your bullshit dream, you come to kill me, and I can't kill you." Peter said while gritting his teeth while throwing Venom away.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting, I don't want to talk about it anymore, I don't want to talk about it anymore, just kill me!
If I were caught by them, I would die a more miserable death. I'm going to die anyway, so I might as well die in your hands.
To be honest, although you are not the strongest host I have ever parasitized, you are my favorite because the aura you exude makes me feel very comfortable. "
"What kind of temperament?"
"You are the kind of bully who kills decisively and has no psychological burden. You really suit my taste. If possible, I really want to parasitize on you forever.
But that is impossible. Creatures from other universes cannot stay in another universe for a long time. Just as you said, there will be molecular repulsion.
I won't live long in this universe. What a pity. Well, I've said everything I need to say. You can kill me now!
By the way, one last thing. If possible, please avenge me. It was Spider-Man 2099 who planned all this.
In fact, not everyone in the Spider League agrees with his approach, but he is the leader and has always been in charge of the overall situation, and other Spider-Men have to listen to him." Venom sighed and said with regret.
"Spider-Man 2099? Is he the one who wants to kill me?"
“Yes, he’s a very ruthless guy, but he’s also a very capable leader, unlike other Spider-Men who have a vow not to kill.
He prefers to kill his enemies, so in order to achieve his goals, his methods are usually very radical. In his opinion, killing you is the best way to solve the problem.
Even though many Spider-Men objected, he still gave the order stubbornly, otherwise I wouldn't be here.
So if you want revenge, help me kill that guy!" Venom said meanly.
"When it comes to things like revenge, it's often more exciting to do it yourself. Why don't you try it yourself?" Peter said meaningfully at this time.
"What?" Venom.
Please give me some votes, thank you!
