"What web-shooter?" Wanda's eyes lit up with two eerie crimson points, and she tilted her head slightly, "Are you talking about this?"
As she spoke, she hooked two metal bracelets on her fingers and shook them.
Hanging from Wanda's slender fingers were none other than Peter's web-shooters!
Peter looked at this bizarre scene with a bewildered expression, then stubbornly raised his fists again, refusing to admit defeat as he stiffly said,
"I'm telling you, don't come over! I'm very strong, I can even take a punch from the Winter Soldier!"
Wanda ignored Peter's threat and instead slowly floated toward him: "I don't want to hurt you, Peter..."
Cold sweat poured down Peter's forehead beneath his mask, but in the end, he didn't back down. Instead, he charged at Wanda, planning to knock out the out-of-control Wanda with his own hands first.
After all, you can make my web-shooter disappear, but you surely can't make my hands disappear too, right?
But imagination is wonderful, reality is cruel, and the gap in strength is enormous...
In response, Wanda simply raised her palm slightly toward Peter and spread her five fingers.
Instantly, Peter's Spider-Sense sounded the alarm!
And this time, the warning didn't come from just one direction, but was a 360-degree, dead-angle-free warning!
He couldn't find any gap or position to dodge into at all!
The next moment, Peter felt his entire body constrained by an invisible force, freezing him forcibly in place!
Peter looked down and saw that his body was already wrapped in crimson mist!
Even with all his might to break free, he couldn't break away from that seemingly thin layer of red mist!
Yet, as Wanda simply waved at him, Peter involuntarily flew toward her, finally stopping in mid-air right in front of her.
Wanda didn't look at Peter; instead, her gaze fell upon the travel bracelet on Peter's left wrist.
"It truly is miraculous. Not even Chaos Magic can directly move it. Perhaps it really can help me find Billy and Tommy..."
Amidst the murmurs that Peter couldn't understand, Wanda reached out toward his left hand.
Peter tried his utmost to move his left hand bit by bit, but ultimately he still couldn't match Wanda's Chaos Magic, and the travel bracelet was eventually removed from his hand by Wanda.
After glancing at it, Wanda unhesitatingly put it on her own left wrist.
[Device replacement with new host detected. Checking if the new host has usage authorization...]
[Verification passed. Welcome back to using the Spider-Bracelet, Ms. Wanda Maximoff.]
[Your current Universe: Earth-199999. (Administrator set alias: Sacred Timeline)]
[Universes associated with you: Earth-2149. (Administrator set alias: Zombie Universe), Earth-99999. (Administrator set alias: Monarch Universe), Earth-100000. (Administrator set alias: Magical Fawn Universe).]
[Would you like to return to an associated Universe, or travel to a new Universe?]
Seeing the information projection automatically appearing on the bracelet, Wanda was startled.
She hadn't expected the bracelet to even come with its own recognition system.
She couldn't foresee what the consequences would be if the verification failed.
And what she feared most was that the bracelet would automatically self-destruct.
But fortunately, for reasons unknown, the bracelet actually recognized that she had authorization!
Moreover...
Wanda looked deeply at the three Universes under the associated Universe column projected by the bracelet, murmuring:
"There are as many as three Universes associated with me? That means I have appeared in all three of these Universes, right?"
"That means the me in these three Universes could all have truly given birth to Billy and Tom!"
"It seems I must make a trip to these three Universes then!"
"So which Universe should I go to first? Let's... go with this one!"
Wanda's gaze fell upon the first Universe option in the associated Universes.
Earth-2149, Zombie Universe!
"Wanda, no!" Seeing this, Peter also guessed that Wanda wanted to use the bracelet to travel to other Universes.
Therefore, he couldn't care about honorifics anymore and directly shouted out Wanda's name.
Wanda looked at Peter with a trace of a smile on her face: "Peter, you are a good boy. I knew that years ago, so you will definitely understand a mother's urgent desire to find her children, right?"
Peter nodded, then shook his head: "I understand! But not in the way you're doing it. Before my cousin left, he instructed us not to use it to go to Universes we aren't familiar with—that would put ourselves in mortal danger!"
Hearing this, the smile on Wanda's face slowly faded: "Put myself in danger? It doesn't matter anymore anyway... The people who care about me, the people I care about, are all gone. I already have nothing left, and there's nothing more to lose..."
"I'm sorry, Peter..."
Finishing her last sentence, Wanda gave a push with her hand.
Peter, entangled in the red mist, instantly flew backward and fell off the roof.
It was over a dozen stories high; for Spider-Man's physical constitution, it wasn't fatal, but it was enough to make Peter hurt for a while.
Without Peter's interference, Wanda tapped her finger on the travel bracelet, and a red light web portal opened before her.
After taking one last deep breath of this Universe's air, Wanda resolutely stepped into it!
"OMG! OMG! OMG!!!"
But what Wanda didn't know was that Peter didn't fall straight down the building as she imagined.
Instead, he grabbed a strand of web and hung suspended in mid-air.
But you must know, his web-shooters had already been taken away by Wanda using Chaos Magic earlier, and she hadn't returned them to him afterwards!
So...
The web that Peter was shooting now was being fired directly from the flesh and blood of his wrists!
This was also the reason why Peter was repeatedly exclaiming in shock now!
Having just been thrown off the building by Wanda, Peter momentarily forgot that he didn't have his web-shooters, and subconsciously reached out to shoot a web.
But when he raised his hand to look at his empty wrists and thought he was doomed, unexpectedly, a strand of web blasted out from his wrist at a speed even faster than his web-shooters!
He... had mutated a second time!
Peter widened his eyes, his eyes filled with pleasant surprise.
This meant he could also produce and shoot his own webs like the original and his cousin, and no longer had to spend a lot of money to buy raw materials for web fluid!
This was... just too awesome!
Peter's eyes were full of excitement!
But immediately afterward, the excitement in his eyes turned into terror.
He quickly pulled on the web and bounced back up to the roof using its elasticity.
But there was no longer any sign of Wanda on the roof at this moment!
