The Spider-ring equipment developed by Peter serves three distinct, critical functions for the newly formed society:

1. Identity Marker: It acts as a badge of office for Spider Society members.

2. Cross-Universal Communication: It allows members to speak across the void of parallel dimensions.

3. Spatial Anchor (Deep Blue Exclusive): This is the most complex function. Deep Blue utilizes the rings as anchor points to weave a digital net across the Multiverse. By capturing enough environmental data through these anchors, Deep Blue can calculate the precise coordinates of corresponding parallel Universes.

Since the conclusion of the last mission, Deep Blue had been dedicating a portion of its massive computing power to this search. Now, the results were in: a confirmed coordinate for a second Crossing.

Peter raised an eyebrow, a slight smile tugging at his lips. Today was proving to be a day of double blessings.

"Well done, deep blue! I'll test the effect of the nanoscale liquid metal first, and then we can decide on the next Crossing."

Peter prioritized the metal. He knew that if he were to step into another dimension, he would need the most advanced protection he could build.

The Nanoscale Trial

At Peter's command, the multi-joint robotic arms of the lab hummed into motion, presenting two items: a cylindrical metal storage can and a silver-white metal wrist guard.

Peter opened the twenty-centimeter-long storage can. Inside sat a titanium-gray metal sphere. It wasn't a solid; its surface rippled with slight, liquid-like waves, resembling magnetorheological fluid. This was the culmination of weeks of research and Deep Blue's terrifying processing speed.

"The container for the liquid metal is this wrist guard, right?" Peter asked.

"Correct, Master!" deep blue replied.

Peter snapped the silver-white guard onto his right arm. It felt heavy, covering the span from his wrist to his elbow. At its center sat a rhomboid, gemstone-like object glowing with a faint blue light—a miniature cold nuclear fusion reactor.

Note: This power technology was originally used by the Doctor Octopus of Miles Morales's universe to power her mechanical arms. Peter recognized the efficiency of the design and adapted it for his own use.

As Peter placed the metal sphere onto the guard, the "liquid" melted and spread, attaching itself to the surface. Gwen watched, mesmerized, as the metal began to flow like mercury up Peter's arm.

The Parker Suit Mark III

In less than half a second, the transformation was complete. Standing before Gwen was a new metallic figure, roughly two meters tall.

Primary Color: Deep metallic red.

Accents: Intricate blue lines.

Emblem: A massive blue spider spanning the entire back.

Design Philosophy: A fully enclosed, smooth armor with no visible seams or external weapons.

This was the Parker Suit Mark III.

By using nanoscale liquid metal, Peter had achieved a level of portability and self-repair that far surpassed the Mark II. Drawing inspiration from the concept of Iron Man's Mark 50, this suit could utilize the Mechanical Limit Breaker to reshape itself into various weapons or tools instantly.

With a simple gesture, Peter disengaged the armor. The metal retreated smoothly into the wrist guard, leaving him in his civilian clothes once more.

"Deep blue, well done!" Peter praised. The AI's digital face flickered with a cheerful expression before revealing one final surprise.

Deep Blue's Independent Discovery

"Master, during the development of the liquid metal, I made an additional discovery. I call it the Carbon Nanobattery."

Deep Blue displayed a new structural design on the screen.

The Carbon Nanobattery represents a revolutionary leap over traditional power cells, rendering standard lithium technology obsolete. While standard batteries offer only mediocre stability and typical charging speeds, these nano-engineered units boast ultra-fast charging capabilities and more than double the energy density of their predecessors. Most importantly, the shift from moderate to high-tier stability ensures a level of safety previously unheard of in high-output power cells, making them the new gold standard for portable energy.

This was a research achievement completed entirely by Deep Blue without Peter's direct instruction. It was a sign that the AI was developing a level of creativity—a trait usually reserved for sentient life. Peter noted this evolution; Deep Blue seemed to be undergoing a life-level upgrade alongside its hardware.

"This is incredible," Peter said. "We can apply this to the Celestial Drones immediately. Their battery life will double again."

Peter recognized the massive market potential. If he could move beyond drones and supply these batteries for smartphones, laptops, and electric vehicles, Celestial Industries would grow into a behemoth capable of challenging Stark Industries and Hammer Industries in the global energy sector.
