Chapter 426 - Chapter 425 Gathering Intelligence, Encountering 2099 Again

Faced with the overwhelming lasers that wove a red web of death, Peter didn't even raise an eyelid.

The Mangekyo spun frantically.

The next second, a pale blue energy skeleton, massive enough to blot out the sky, rose from the ground, its ferocious bone armor completely shielding Peter within.

Susanoo!

The dense laser beams bombarded the energy shell, merely stirring up circles of insignificant ripples without even shaking it in the slightest.

"Excellent. A bunch of scrap metal—and not even the scrap metal Tony spent money to build. There's no need to be polite then."

As he spoke, flesh and blood grew wildly on the Susanoo skeleton. Before long, it evolved from a half-body skeleton into an armored general about ten meters tall (its height was scaled down because the Ultron robots were only about two meters tall).

Peter stood within the crystal on the forehead of the Susanoo, looking down at the group of suicidal ants, and casually made a motion to draw his blade.

Clang~!

The next second, the Susanoo giant suddenly drew the long blade burning with raging flames from its waist.

The blade swept across!

The scorching blade light swept through like a tidal wave. The Ultron sentries made of special alloy couldn't even put up a decent resistance before instantly melting into puddles of molten iron in the heat exceeding ten thousand degrees, making the ground hiss as it burned.

This was not a battle at all, but a one-sided slaughter of horrifying efficiency.

With a single sweep of the flaming blade, a large swath of Ultron robots was completely obliterated.

The clearing efficiency was comparable to hack-and-slash mowing.

A few robots reluctantly activated their thrusters, attempting to slip into the gaps of the Susanoo giant's armor or its blind spots to launch an attack on Peter.

To this, Peter merely sneered, and then threw out Senbonzakura.

"Scatter, Senbonzakura!"

The next second, a wave of cherry blossoms swept across the field, mincing those suicidal mechanical lifeforms into metallic mincemeat in minutes.

Three minutes later, not a single intact robot could be seen on the ground.

Five minutes later, the last batch of Ultron sentries rushing out of the backup channel was also completely wiped out by a single strike from the Susanoo.

The metal floor of the entire Spider-Society had been raised by two or three centimeters due to the molten iron from the melted bodies of the Ultron robots.

"All done, time to wrap up."

He clapped the non-existent dust off his hands.

Peter deactivated the Susanoo and slowly walked up to the giant web that connected to the Multiverse.

Looking at the energy threads that had been replaced by thick metal cables flashing with an ominous red light, he immediately gave up on any conventional hacking methods.

Conventional methods worked far too slowly.

Who knew how long it would take to complete the intelligence gathering.

Rolling up his sleeves, he gave the Omnitrix on his wrist a gentle turn and a slap. The next second, a black liquid substance instantly covered his entire body, taking on the Symbiote form.

Peter reached out with his liquefied black hand and pressed it directly onto the metal cable flashing with red data streams.

The pitch-black Symbiote substance spread frantically along the metal cables.

Assimilating with the metal cables, they instantly dove into the digital ocean, beginning to frantically bite, devour, and digest the data that had been rewritten by Ultron.

A massive amount of information flooded into Peter's mind like a bursting dam.

An ordinary person would have had their mind shattered in minutes by such a high-density stream of information.

But to Peter, such a minor thing posed no threat at all.

A few minutes later, Peter let out a long breath of turbid air.

The situation was slightly better than expected.

Perhaps because most of the Universes connected to the Spider-Society were pocket Universes anchored by Spider-Man, involving few superhero organizations.

Ultron seemed to have directly classified the vast majority of Universes as 'low-value targets'.

It had merely blocked the pathways for the Spider-Men of these Universes to enter the Spider-Society, planning to slowly consume these defenseless Universes after dealing with the truly troublesome opponents.

Currently, only three to five Universes had been completely ruled by Ultron.

Heart-stopping scenes flashed through the data stream:

The Avengers of one Universe were torn to shreds alive by a mechanical army.

The Iron Man of another Universe had been transformed into a mindless Ultron puppet.

Meanwhile, countless surviving humans had brain-computer interfaces forcibly implanted, reduced to 'batteries' to keep the Machine Empire running, laboring until death in sunless factories.

While rescuing them was important, it was not the immediate priority.

The most important thing right now was to gather intelligence and determine which Universe the Ultron who triggered this Multiverse crisis came from!

Only by pinpointing the enemy's home base would he have the chance to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, if allowed to run rampant across the Multiverse, Peter would never be able to resolve the trouble this guy brought.

Relying on the web system's built-in search capability for Spider-Men,

Peter quickly found a Universe that was already ruled by Ultron, but where its Spider-Man was still alive.

When he saw clearly who the Spider-Man of this Universe was, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Because the Spider-Man of this Universe was none other than Miguel O'Hara—namely, 'Spider-Man 2099'.

An 'old acquaintance' who had once been used by Otto Parker, tried to play the riddler, and was ultimately personally taught a lesson by Peter.

Without the slightest hesitation, Peter locked onto the coordinates through his Spider-Watch and directly activated the giant mechanical spider, which had its original functions restored.

The next second, his figure vanished from the spot.

...

Universe 2099, New York.

Towering holographic billboards cast a cold light. On the aerial tracks, flying vehicles flowed incessantly, constructing a bustling yet oppressive vision of the future.

On the streets, every pedestrian's face bore an identical numbness and emptiness, the flashing red ports on the backs of their necks being the mark of their enslavement.

Peter's figure abruptly appeared on the rooftop of a skyscraper.

Locating him through the Eye of Aurora combined with the spider totem, Peter quickly arrived at Miguel's refuge—inside a grand Human Management Center in the city center.

Activating Susan's optical invisibility, Peter turned into a ghost-like shadow and slipped into his destination without a sound.

The sight before him made Peter frown slightly.

Behind a massive desk sat Miguel O'Hara, his straight suit meticulous, but his eyes were vacant. A cable flashing with an ominous red light at the back of his neck connected to his spine like a maggot on a bone.

He was methodically processing data on the holographic screen, allocating manpower, and assigning tasks, looking every bit like a capable lieutenant under Ultron.

"No wonder he's alive and well—turned out he became a human collaborator."

Peter grumbled, then walked straight forward and, without a second thought, unplugged the brain-computer interface from the back of the guy's neck.

He then pressed one hand against the back of his head, activating the power of the Horse Talisman to directly restore all of his erased memories.

But at that exact moment, a broadcast echoed in the office:

"Unidentified intruder detected! Purge mode initiated!"
