#81 - About going home

"Whatever you do, don't invest in a Spider-Man themed restaurant!" 616 Peter said through gritted teeth.

"Really?" Ultimate Peter asked, incredulous. "I was actually thinking of starting a themed restaurant recently."

"That might be my most failed investment, though I haven't had many successes," 616 Peter said, shaking his head, the past too painful to recall.

"And there's something about Mary Jane," 616 Peter said hesitantly, but seeing Ultimate Peter's face, so similar to his own, he finally decided to speak.

"Maybe after a while, she'll want a child. I hope you don't think like me and make the right decision."

"A child?!" Unlike 616 Peter, Ultimate Peter was excited when talking about children.

"That would be amazing! I think I might be the happiest man in the world!"

"It seems you and I are indeed different," 616 Peter said, looking at Ultimate Peter, his eyes filled with relief and envy.

"And you, young man," 616 Peter turned his gaze to Yang Le.

"In my universe, there was also a Gwen, but I didn't protect her. I hope you don't repeat my mistakes."

"It seems the things that happen in different parallel universes are very similar," Ultimate Peter's expression became extremely similar to 616 Peter's at that moment. It seemed Gwen was indeed a shared wound.

"It seems every Peter Parker has fallen in love with Gwen Stacy. She must be a very charming woman," 616 Peter joked, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"There are always exceptions, aren't there?" Yang Le said, smiling and pointing at himself. "But I agree that she is charming."

"Yes, there are always exceptions," Ultimate Peter patted Yang Le on the shoulder, agreeing.

Gwen had noticed the three people in the corner from the beginning. They had been whispering there for a long time, and she really didn't know what they were talking about that needed to be kept secret from everyone.

"Hot cocoa is ready, kids," Aunt May said, carrying a tray full of cups.

"Luckily, there are enough cups in the house."

"Let me help you, Aunt May," Gwen stepped forward, wanting to take the tray.

"Thank you, child," This time Aunt May didn't refuse. So many cups were indeed making her feel strained.

Gwen effortlessly distributed the hot cocoa according to distance.

The sweet and rich hot chocolate relaxed everyone's tense spirits. After all, being in an unfamiliar place, even the most carefree person would feel nervous.

Aunt May was persuaded to rest by everyone. The old woman was getting old, and they didn't know how long they would be talking, so she shouldn't stay up with them.

After Ultimate Peter sent Aunt May upstairs to rest, everyone gathered together to discuss what to do next.

"We need to go back," Shadow Spider said first. "We don't belong in this universe."

His words were agreed upon by everyone.

"If it's just sending you back, the temporal flywheel I parked outside can do it," Yang Le pointed to the motorcycle outside the window.

"Unlike you, I came here voluntarily to find Gwen."

"How romantic, kid," Spider-Ham jumped up and slapped Yang Le, though not very hard, the sound was extremely loud.

"If I were a young girl, I couldn't help but want to marry you."

Gwen didn't speak, but just shrugged.

"Are you saying you have a cool motorcycle that can travel through time and space?!" Peni widened her eyes and moved closer to Yang Le.

It had to be said that even from a death perspective, Peni's face still looked very delicate.

"Uh, of course," Because he was sitting on the sofa, Yang Le could only lean back, trying to distance himself from Peni.

"Who made it?" Peni looked at Yang Le expectantly.

"I did," Yang Le looked at Gwen for help, but found that she wasn't looking at him at all.

"Correctly speaking, it was an alien hero in my ability."

Yang Le then told everyone about the abilities of the Omnitrix in general terms.

Peni's attention was now on the small, broken watch.

"I didn't expect a seemingly unremarkable watch to have such power," Ultimate Peter said with emotion. He had seen NRG and Electro, so he knew how powerful Yang Le was.

"It's also a very dangerous weapon," Shadow Spider said from the side. "If it falls into the wrong hands, it will be a disaster for the entire universe."

"You can rest assured about this. The Omnitrix is bound to me. In the hands of others, it's just a piece of scrap metal," Yang Le signaled everyone to rest assured.

Just like Yang Le said, after he tampered with the Omnitrix's permissions, he modified the Omnitrix to prevent someone from using the same method as him, so that the Omnitrix lost the function of changing the highest authority, cutting off future troubles.

Seeing this, everyone didn't dwell on this topic and returned to the question of going home.

The latest novels are first published on Liǔ 9 Shū Bā!

"So that means you can act like a taxi driver and send us home one by one?" Spider-Ham summarized.

"That's exactly what I mean," Yang Le was stunned for a moment, then nodded. Spider-Ham's analogy was quite accurate.

"Then everything will be fine," Spider-Ham lay back after hearing this. "Now we just need to get a good night's sleep and wait for little Harby to get his energy back and send us home."

After saying that, a huge, transparent snot bubble emerged from Spider-Ham's pig nose, and at the same time, he began to snore, as if he had already entered dreamland.

"There might be one more problem before that," Yang Le interrupted Spider-Ham's sweet dream.

"Pop!"

The snot bubble burst, and Spider-Ham was awakened, startled and rolled to the ground.

"Oh, my goodness, what else is there?"

Spider-Ham stood up, covering his head where he had bumped it, looking at Yang Le in confusion. The eyes of the others were also full of doubt.

"Kingpin," Yang Le slowly uttered a name.

Gwen frowned, obviously this name had left a bad impression on her. After all, she didn't know that her universe's Kingpin was actually a commander without any troops, because Yang Le didn't tell her, fearing she couldn't accept mind control.

"This culprit brought everyone to this universe, so to prevent him from catching you again after I send you back, we need to destroy his quantum collider."

"Regarding this point, I have a different opinion," Ultimate Peter raised his hand.

"This is my job, I can't involve you."

"They come in groups, you can't handle it alone," Yang Le shook his head.

"If I hadn't appeared before, what do you think would have happened? Think about Aunt May, think about Mary Jane."

Ultimate Peter was silent. Indeed, just like Yang Le said, if he hadn't saved him, not to mention saving Brooklyn, he might have lost his life.

"Then there's nothing to say," Seeing that Ultimate Peter had been persuaded, Yang Le swept his gaze over everyone.

"Let's take a vote by show of hands! Please raise your hand if you want to stay and help Peter!"
