As Homelander In Multiverse

[🎉 Shoutout to Nathan, Darjaviou & Victor for joining patreon. Thank you very much.🤗]

The night wind brushed against his face, but it couldn't extinguish the anger in Peter Parker's heart.

At this moment, he was chasing the figure above him, moving through dark alleys and buildings of varying heights, neatly arranged.

Peter Parker ran and climbed. After passing through an alley filled with ropes and hanging clothes,

he saw an abandoned warehouse.

At this moment, Azu descended to his side.

"The person you're looking for is in that warehouse."

Peter Parker, wearing a mask, glanced at the man beside him, then immediately sprinted forward.

He then jumped from this rooftop, crossed the street, and silently entered a second-floor window of the warehouse.

Azu's eyes lit up, scanning the interior of the warehouse, and found Peter Parker.

At this time, Peter Parker was clinging to a thick iron chain like a spider.

The end of the chain had a hook, hanging close to the ground.

To the left of this hook, a container was lit.

The interior of the container had been modified to serve as a room.

The room was simple, with a bed and a cabinet.

Daily necessities were scattered on the floor, and a man with shoulder-length blond hair was curled up on the bed, eating a canned meal, slurping.

On his wrist was a black star tattoo.

He was the man who, after failing to steal money from a convenience store, turned around and shot Uncle Ben on the street.

Peter Parker slid down the iron chain, saw the man in the container clearly, and his eyes seemed to spit fire.

He began to shake the chain, making a clinking sound.

The man in the container heard the noise outside, thinking it was a stray cat or dog.

So he came out with a flashlight.

When he raised the flashlight, a beam of light shone on the chain, but Peter Parker was no longer there.

Only a swaying iron chain remained.

The man looked bewildered, then suddenly heard a voice from behind.

"Why did you kill him?"

"Shit!" The man was startled, turned around, and saw a suspicious figure squatting on the container.

"Who are you!"

The man stepped back repeatedly.

Peter Parker jumped down from the container, walked towards the man, and shouted excitedly, "Why did you kill that old man!"

"Old man."

The man quickly said, "Listen, buddy."

"It was an accident."

"I never intended to kill him."

"If he hadn't tried to grab my gun, it wouldn't have gone off."

Peter Parker shouted, "That was a life!"

"Can it just be dismissed as an accident?"

"If it was really an accident, why didn't you turn yourself in!"

The man frowned, "Buddy, what does this have to do with you?"

"Just leave, I don't want any trouble."

Peter Parker took a long breath.

"You don't care at all, do you?"

Suddenly, he rushed over and slammed into the man.

Bang!

The man flew out, hit a pillar, and then slid down.

Only then did he let out a scream.

Then he clutched the injured area, "What's wrong with you?"

"You go to hell too!"

He suddenly pulled out a handgun and fired at Peter Parker repeatedly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

But Peter seemed to predict the trajectory of the bullets, dodging all the attacks by swaying left and right.

Then he pounced, kicking the gun out of the man's hand.

The handgun immediately flew out of his grip.

Then Peter Parker grabbed the man's gun-holding hand, "You killed someone."

"A good person."

"You can't escape punishment."

"This isn't fair."

"This is too unfair to the deceased!"

With a shout.

Peter pushed the man's elbow forward.

"Ah!"

The man screamed, his hand broken by Peter, bones protruding from his arm, a section exposed to the air.

"Oh my God!"

"Dear God."

"Why are you doing this to me."

The man cried in pain.

Peter, having done something so extreme for the first time, panted and stepped back.

The man stood up, intending to run.

But after a few steps, Peter Parker caught up from behind and kicked his knee.

"Ah!"

The man fell to the ground, his remaining hand unsure whether to clutch his arm or hold his leg.

As he groaned on the ground, Peter Parker jumped over.

Pinning him down, he raised his hand.

Peter clenched his fist, saying in a deep voice, "You need to apologize to him."

"I apologize!"

The man cried out, "I apologize to him!"

"Really."

"Sir, please don't kill me!"

"I'm willing to turn myself in, willing to apologize to the family."

"Please take me to the police station."

Peter Parker looked at him, suddenly shouted, and punched down heavily.

The man screamed in fear.

But the punch landed beside him, creating a shallow crater in the concrete floor.

Only then did the man relax, a foul smell emanating from his pants.

New York Police Department.

Chief George Stacy was reviewing documents when he suddenly heard a commotion outside.

Chief George frowned, straightened his clothes, and walked out of his office.

"What's going on?"

He saw the police officers crowding towards the entrance.

Then someone emerged from the crowd, "Chief, you need to see this."

George walked out of the police station and saw a man lying outside the gate.

Shoulder-length blond hair, injured limbs.

A sign hung on him.

It read: I am the murderer of Ben Parker.

Chief George was shocked, "What is this?"

A police officer said, "He said he was caught by a masked man."

"That masked man demanded he turn himself in, or he would harm him."

The officer looked at the man, "Although, he's already been harmed."

Chief George said displeased, "Even if he's the murderer, he must face legal punishment, not private retribution."

"Where is that masked man?"

The officer shook his head, "He doesn't know either."

"He said he lost sight of the other in an instant."

Only then did Chief George say, "Take him to the hospital, then take his statement."

Watching the murderer being taken away by the police, Peter Parker, who had removed his mask on a rooftop of a building, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he looked around, not seeing the blond, blue-eyed man.

He whispered, "I need to thank him."

"But, I still don't know his name."

"Nor do I know if we'll have a chance to meet again."

With that.

Peter Parker leaped off the rooftop.

All of this was seen by Azu.

Azu smiled, then turned and left.

He returned to the hotel.

Dismissed the summoning of Harley Quinn.

Found Lin Ada.

"Mr. John, what have you been busy with these past two days?" Lin Ada held a bucket of popcorn, eating while listening to the radio.

Azu stood by the window, looking towards Peter Parker's home, "Conducting an interesting experiment."

"Really?"

"What kind of experiment?" Lin Ada grabbed a handful of popcorn, offering it to Azu, "Want some?"

"No, thank you." Azu continued, "It's not a significant experiment."

Lin Ada didn't mind, the girl munching on popcorn said, "I used to be very scared when I 'sleepwalked', but now with Mr. John accompanying me, not only am I not scared."

"But also, 'sleepwalking' feels like a vacation to me now."

"After all, when I return, almost no time has passed, and I don't have to worry about losing my job, haha."

Azu smiled and said, "Same here, it's really an interesting experience."

"If I hadn't met you, Xiao Lin, I wouldn't have had the chance to experience such fun."

After chatting for a while, Azu saw it was getting late and returned to his room.

He took a shower, then sat on the windowsill, drinking beer, looking at the city at night.

"Next, let's see how much Peter Parker changes."

"In a few days, Dr. Lizard should appear."

"At that time, it will definitely be interesting."

He took another sip of beer.

Just then.

A line of information suddenly popped up on his retina.

[Warning, you are under invasion!]

Invasion?

What is an invasion?

Azu was stunned.

Then lines of information continuously popped up on his retina.

[Warning, you are under invasion!]

[Warning, you are under invasion!]

[The invader has entered this universe.]

[You have encountered a multiverse invasion event.]

[Description: Multiverse, infinite worlds. Just as in the multiverse, there is more than one Spider-Man. You are the same, yes, in other universes, there are other Homelander. And some of these Homelander have mastered the ability to invade the universes where their 'counterparts' reside. Now, an invader has appeared right under your nose!]

[Starting random selection of confrontation mode.]

[Confrontation mode determined.]

[The confrontation mode for this invasion event is: Cage Blood Fight!]

[Event requirement: Kill the invader.]

[Due to the confrontation mode, the 'Amazing Spider-Man' universe has been sealed, no entry or exit until the invasion event ends.]

[Due to the confrontation mode, after killing the invader, you will obtain all items in the invader's inventory.]

[Note: The invader will suffer the following penalties.]

[1. The invader's overall strength is reduced by 25%, including innate abilities and the effects of items, runes, artifacts, etc., until the invasion event ends.]

[2. Affected by the 'Cage Blood Fight' mode, in the next 72 hours, the invader's overall strength is reduced by 50%, including innate abilities and the effects of items, runes, artifacts, etc. This penalty overrides the first penalty. After this penalty ends, the first penalty effect is restored.]

[3. The invader cannot use 'Insight' type abilities or item effects on you, nor can they directly obtain your preparation information through abilities or items.]

[Invasion event.]

[Start!]

After reading this information, Azu was somewhat incredulous.

There are other 'Homelander' from different universes.

And now, one 'Homelander' has invaded this universe.

As the invader.

They will suffer various penalties.

Like now, within 72 hours, their strength is only half of the original.

And after 72 hours, there is still a '25% strength reduction' negative effect.

From this perspective.

If the invader is unaware of the penalty mechanism, that's one thing.

But if they know that invading other 'Homelander' will result in penalties and still dare to do so.

Then the invader's strength must be formidable, at least confident in themselves.

Azu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Killing the invader can obtain all their items."

"This condition should be the same for the invader."

"In other words, invading 'counterparts' carries huge risks but also huge rewards!"

When Azu received the invasion warning.

Far on the other side of New York, a night fishing enthusiast noticed a faint blue light rising from the water under the pier.

The light came from underwater, but it only lasted for a moment, before he could take out his phone to take a picture, the light disappeared.

After a while.

Near a small boat in the distance from the pier, a hand suddenly emerged.

Then grabbing the edge of the boat, a figure climbed onto the boat.

This was a man, in his early forties.

His hair was black and stiff, with deep facial features and a broad chin.

He wore a sky-blue combat suit, the stars and stripes cape behind him already soaked.

The man looked around, then spoke in a low voice.

"Amazing Spider-Man universe?"

"Good, this universe is relatively simple."

"If it were the DC universe or the Marvel universe, superhumans and monsters are everywhere, which would greatly hinder the hunt, and there are many variables."

"My luck is not bad."

New information appeared on his retina.

"Cage Blood Fight?"

"Such a confrontation mode."

"This universe is already sealed, unless one side dies, neither can leave."

"And items cannot be used to leave, nor can surrender-type items be used."

"The benefit is that after killing a 'counterpart', you can fully obtain all items in the other's inventory."

"Tsk, the penalties are severe, within 72 hours my strength is only half."

"After 72 hours, there's still a 25% reduction effect."

"It seems my overall strength should be above the other, and significantly so."

"Otherwise, there wouldn't be such severe penalties."

"Damn balance mechanism, but this makes it more exciting."

"Huh, besides hunting 'counterparts', there's an additional return condition."

"The return condition is"

After glancing at the information on his retina, the man's mouth curved up, "Interesting."

He stood up, looking around.

"In my current state, hunting 'counterparts' is still too dangerous, even if my original strength is above the other."

"But now I only have half the strength, and the effects of other items are also halved."

"In that case, within 72 hours, I need to hide."

"I don't know if the other has mental domain abilities."

"Last time I was found immediately after invading, almost killed by that 'counterpart', because the other had mental domain abilities."

"Like Professor X, easily found me."

"This time I won't be so careless."

The man quickly took out an item from his inventory.

It was an iron helmet.

[Magneto's Helmet: A helmet that doesn't look great, but it allows you to be unaffected by mental domain abilities, maintaining your self.]

The man put on the helmet, then flew into the sky, disappearing into the night.

The next day.

Midtown Science High School.

Although the murderer had been sent to the police station, Peter Parker, still not happy.

Dejectedly pulled up the hood of his sweatshirt, walked to his locker, and opened it.

Then Flash came over, "Hey, Peter."

Peter Parker shook his head, thinking this guy was here to trouble him again, "No, don't bother me."

"Listen," Flash was about to say something, when Peter Parker pushed him against the locker and lifted him up.

Looking into Peter Parker's bloodshot eyes, he said, "I'm sorry, Peter."

"About your uncle."

"He was a good man."

"Don't be too sad."

Only then did Peter Parker realize Flash wasn't here to cause trouble.

He sighed, put the big guy down, and whispered a 'thank you' with his head down.

Then walked on with his head down.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him.

Peter looked up, it was Gwen Stacy from his class.

The girl said nothing.

Just silently gave him a warm hug.

Instantly, Peter felt a cold corner of his heart warm up.

It was like seeing a beam of light in the darkness, it redeemed him.

"It will get better, Parker." Gwen whispered.

Peter nodded, passing by the girl.

He put on his headphones, playing the message left by Uncle Ben.

"Peter, I know you've been having a hard time lately."

"I'm sorry about that."

"I understand how you feel."

"Since you were a child, you've had to face many unresolved issues."

"This is from someone who's been through it."

"These things determine the path we take."

"They shape us."

"If anyone is destined to do great things, it's you, kid."

"Your talent is a gift from the world."

"You just need to know how to use it."

"Whatever you decide."

"We will always support you."

"Come home, Peter."

"You are my hero, I love you."

Peter Parker gently shook his head.

"Sorry, Uncle Ben."

"I'm not a hero."

"But, I need to do something."

"This city must become a better place."

"I, need to do something!"

*

Osborn Mansion.

Norman Osborn, with three parts fear and seven parts respect.

Looked at the blond man standing with his back to him.

"Mr. John."

"It's an honor to see you again."

Standing by the window, Azu retracted his mental field.

Since last night, he had been covering the entire New York with his mental field.

But until now, he hadn't been able to find his 'counterpart'.

It shouldn't have been like this.

There aren't many superhumans in this universe.

Azu should have easily found the other.

Now that he hasn't, it means the other has abilities or items that counter mental exploration.

Indeed, those who dare to invade are not simple characters.

Turning around. Azu's mouth curved up, revealing a smile.

"Mr. Osborn, I need you to do something for me."

Every wrinkle on Norman Osborn's face seemed to glow, he showed a humble smile.

"It's my honor, sir."
