Chapter 93: Little Spiders Great Wisdom (2) Entering Stark Tower, Connors still walked quickly with Peter following behind him. He said, "Alright, Doctor, I have safely delivered you to Stark Tower, there shouldn't be any danger here. I have to go now, I have things to do..." "You have things to do? Of course, you do! What, are you going to put on that weird tight suit and go wandering around again?" "I'm not wandering around, that monster is causing destruction in the city, I have to go stop him..." "But didn't Stark already go there? Do you think he can't handle the monster?" "Well, not exactly, but he could use some help, right?" "I also need help. Put down your backpack, put on the full lab coat, and let's go into the laboratory. We need to solve this problem, and it all starts with the serum." "But I need to join the fight. I can't just be a deserter, can I?" Dr. Connors stopped and turned to Peter, placing his hand on his shoulder and looking into his eyes. "The battlefield isn't always where you think it is," he said. He pointed his finger outside the window and continued, "The most important lesson I learned during my military career is that not only places with gunfire are battlefields. Sometimes, right here..." Dr. Connors pointed to the ground beneath them, "is a more important battlefield than over there." "You have to understand that throwing a punch is not necessarily nobler than using your brain. You have to realize that even if you beat up that monster, he won't turn into a do-gooder. The military won't stop their evil experiments. To solve everything fundamentally, strength alone is not enough, you must use your brain." "But how do I do that? I don't understand..." Peter took the initiative to follow behind Connors and continued walking forward, saying, "I've always done this, stopping those bad guys from committing crimes. What's wrong with that?" "It's not wrong, but I think you can always do better." "Peter, maybe your mutation, the sudden acquisition of strong power, makes you feel like you've gone from weak to strong, and that you can change the world with this change." "But in reality, even without this mutation, you can still do it." "Haven't you realized it yet? You're a genius. Even if you don't have these powerful abilities or physical strength, even if you just go to college and graduate school step by step, you can change the world someday." "Your mutation just speeds up this process, but it's not everything. You have to break free from that inflated emotion and think about who you really are." "Who am I? I'm Spider-Man..." "That's right, but you're also Peter Parker." Dr. Connors walked in and pointed to the experimental table, "Look, this is also your battlefield. Here, you can do better than Spider-Man. You can also change the world here." Peter stood at the door, tiptoed and rubbed his hands, saying, "Really? But no one has ever said this to me. They all think I have poor physical strength, am not good at sports, and always stay alone. I'm a weirdo who doesn't fit in." "Do the people who gave you these evaluations have three Doctor degrees?" "Uh, they're just some high school students, of course not." "Then who do you think you should believe?" Peter hesitated. After a while, he said, "Okay." Connor's affirmation gave him a lot of courage. He rubbed his wrists and said, "Then I'll give it a try. Today, I won't be Spider-Man, let Spider-Man take a day off. We'll stay here... and do it like this..." Instantly, a Mech armor swooped down and exploded, causing the Red Lizard to stumble back. Steve, holding his shield, was thrown back as well. He waved his fist and said, "Stop firing at allies. You must have done it on purpose!" Stark smiled and said, "You've misunderstood. I'm only doing this for your own good." Stark waved his hand again, and more than a dozen Mech armors flew over and surrounded the monster, creating an electric grid between them. After a burst of intense flashing, the monster let out a terrible scream and collapsed to the ground. Stark said, "This move is indeed impressive, but I think there's still room for improvement. By the way, don't record where the inspiration for this move came from. That yellow-haired rodent called Pikachu electrocuted my Mech armor, and I haven't made him pay compensation yet." Although the monster fell temporarily, it soon got up again. Stark said with a headache, "He must be related to that big lizard. What's with their supernatural healing abilities?" Indeed, the burn scars caused by the electric shock had fully healed within a few minutes, and the monster's stamina seemed to be recovering quickly as well. Just after being beaten up by Captain America, it quickly jumped up and started causing more damage. Although the two of them had enough attack power, without Spider-Man, they lacked a means of control. Spider-Man's spider web could easily make these giant monsters lose their balance or trip over. Just as Stark was about to make a call, he received a message from J.A.R.V.I.S, saying that Peter was currently conducting an experiment with Dr. Connors. He hung up without saying anything. As the battle became more and more intense, a red and blue figure suddenly appeared in the sky above the city. Peter quickly flew over and kicked the monster in the back, knocking it down. He was holding a box, and he threw it to Stark, saying, "This is the antidote. Inject all five doses, and the world will be at peace." Stark threw the box to a nearby Mech armor and said as he flew, "Is this your research achievement?" "No, it's mainly Dr. Connors' work. I'm just helping out." "Then it's your research achievement." As he spoke, the Mech armor opened the box and took out a syringe, distributing the medicine to the other Mech armors while Steve kept the monster distracted. They launched a surprise attack from behind and injected the medicine. The monster began to scream uncontrollably and thrashed its arms around, but after a while, its body began to shrink, quickly returning to the size of an ordinary human. Stark saw the person lying on the ground without arms and sighed. He said to J.A.R.V.I.S., "Send a Mech armor to take him away. If anyone asks, say he was blown to pieces." He flew over to Spider-Man standing on the rooftop, and stood beside him. He asked, "How does it feel to save the world, Peter Parker?" "Feels great, I mean... amazing!" Peter took a deep breath, as if he had suddenly released a burden. For the first time, he had confidence in his true identity, a confidence that did not come from the strong powers granted to him by the spider mutation, but from Peter Parker's personality. He had wondered before, what if his spider mutation was just a dream, and if his powers disappeared the next day, what would he do? In fact, he had many days when he lived in doubt and fear, afraid of losing this identity, feeling that the world could not be without Spider-Man. But today, for the first time, Peter felt that perhaps the world not only needed Spider-Man, but also needed Peter Parker, needed him, needed the ordinary him without special powers. "Wisdom is the greatest wealth of humanity." Stark didn't look at him, but looked ahead and said, "Don't set your goal as just being a street hero, the path of wisdom is endless." Peter smiled, took off his mask, as if breaking free from shackles. His hair danced in the breeze, and he saw the magnificent clouds at the end of the sky, and the fading brilliance of the setting sun disappearing below the horizon. He saw, a door to a new world.
