Marvel: Restart! Spiderman!

[You have been eliminated. No resurrection slot awarded. Strength +0.1 tons.]

[9 retries remaining. Would you like to restart?]

Back on the massive multiversal web, Charlie let out a slow breath and tapped [Restart].

Restarting the resurrection match—that was his true golden finger!

Moreover, every restart awarded a small bonus, and little by little, he would eventually catch up to the other Spider-Men.

Mysterious energy surged into his body, and Charlie heard the crackle of his bones as his body relaxed, his muscle density noticeably increasing.

Before, his strength was a pitiful one ton. A 0.1-ton increase might not mean much to other Spider-Men, but for him, a 10% boost to his stats was already pretty decent.

As his strength increased, so did his overall physical attributes, ensuring that his body wouldn't become unbalanced and collapse due to any sudden surge in one particular stat.

If he won this resurrection match, gaining 10 tons of strength would be enough to get him out of the situation where the Green Goblin had his sights set on him.

After this trial, he figured out that Peter Parker, one of the participants, was the Lizardman, and his strength was terrifying—at least 20 tons, with an equally frightening defense.

Although Lizard Parker was somewhat slow, if Charlie's Spider-Sense didn't react fast enough, he wouldn't be able to avoid the attacks.

And the Chitauri soldiers? Their firepower was fierce. Charlie could maybe handle one or two, but no way he could face all ten at once.

As for Tony...

"With his nano armor, is this the Tony from Avengers 3?" Charlie wondered.

That was going to be a problem.

With the firepower of the nano suit, Tony could easily dominate the resurrection match and claim the MVP title.

If this were the Avengers 4 version of Tony, the one who snapped his fingers, even Thanos would get crushed.

Charlie had no chance.

He figured if Tony won this resurrection match, he'd probably make it to Avengers 6.

Guess he'd have to keep trying.

His thoughts lasted only a second before the void swallowed him once again, bringing him back to New York, the world of The Amazing Spider-Man.

[Scene: The Amazing Spider-Man Universe]

[Mission: Go to the clock tower and save Gwen from falling.]

The second resurrection match—it was still the same system prompt.

Charlie landed on the side of a skyscraper, but since the match hadn't started yet, he couldn't leave his spot.

Recalling the last match, he guessed that the faster Tony and the Chitauri soldiers were positioned farther from the clock tower.

Lizard Parker, although slower, had reached the clock tower at almost the same time as Charlie—his starting position was clearly closer than the others'.

The timing of everyone reaching the clock tower was almost simultaneous, so it couldn't be random.

Thirty seconds later, the countdown ended.

Charlie flipped off the skyscraper, the wind howling past him as he shot webs from his wrists and swung into a dark alley below.

This time, he wasn't planning on rushing ahead.

But as soon as he landed in the alley, he spotted a disheveled couple hiding behind a trash can, looking at him in alarm.

"Shit! There's some creep spying on us!"

"Get lost, or I'll break your little buddy!"

Charlie: "..."

Great, this was getting exciting, wasn't it?

Then, multiple streaks of fire roared overhead.

In the alley, Charlie glanced at the still-cursing couple and shot webs, pulling the trash can in front of them.

"You bastard, what are you doing?!"

"You jerk, I'll flush your eyes down the sewer..."

Whoosh!

Charlie fired another web, yanking the couple's clothes from their hands.

With a whistle, Charlie wrapped their clothes in webs and hung them on a 10-meter-high wall in front of them.

"Goodbye, you two shy lovebirds. Next time, cover your faces."

With that, he vaulted up the wall and swung away with his webs.

Rushing toward the clock tower, Charlie kept his eyes on the flashes of light ahead.

In the night sky, Chitauri soldiers relentlessly fired energy beams at Tony, but Tony effortlessly dodged them all.

As he followed behind, Charlie quickly fell behind in distance.

"Oh, it's Spider-Man!"

"No, wait, Spider-Man's still over there."

Soon, amid the exclamations of bystanders, Charlie leisurely landed on a residential building near the clock tower.

By this time, the clock tower was already bustling.

"Peter, we're best friends, but even so, you wouldn't give me a single drop of blood."

"So, hahaha, now you'll taste despair!"

On the roof, Harry, now looking monstrous and grotesque, sneered at Peter Parker as he threw Gwen from the rooftop.

"No!!"

Peter Parker shouted, leaping after Gwen without hesitation.

He shot webs rapidly, catching the rapidly falling Gwen.

Boom!!

Before Peter could grab Gwen, a pumpkin bomb exploded, sending out a violent burst of flames. The webs melted in the intense heat, and Gwen plunged even faster.

"Hahaha, despair, Peter!" Harry laughed maniacally.

"No!!"

Peter's eyes widened in horror, just as he was about to break through the flames, Harry blocked him, preventing him from reaching Gwen in time.

At that moment, a green Lizard creature quickly scaled the clock tower and then leaped toward Gwen.

"Professor Curt?" Peter exclaimed.

Professor Curt Connors had already...

But just as Lizard Parker was about to catch Gwen, fire erupted in the night sky, and Lizard Parker was blasted straight into the clock tower by a fierce barrage of firepower.

Boom!!

The clock tower exploded, sending countless tiny gears flying in every direction, while Gwen's figure slowly disappeared from Lizard Parker's sight.

"No..."

The next moment, Tony swooped in from the air, his nano-weaponry floating behind him moving at a terrifying speed. In the blink of an eye, it reached Gwen and caught her from her fall.

"Was that a Lizard just now?" Tony blinked.

"Sir, I've found the search results for you—Lizards are reptiles belonging to the family Lacertidae..."

"Friday, your humor's on point."

"Thank you."

As Tony's nano armor dove downward, Harry, enraged, hurled several pumpkin bombs.

"You weirdos won't save her!"

"Nooo!"

Peter Parker's face twisted in alarm as he fired webs, barely catching two of the bombs.

Boom, boom, boom!

The clock tower exploded one after another, and Peter was swept away by the heat of the explosions as the massive clock slowly collapsed, crashing toward Tony.

"This is getting annoying."

"Jarvis—no, Friday."

"Understood, sir."

On Tony's shoulder, nano-metal shifted, and several mini-missiles blasted the falling clock to pieces.

Boom

Shards rained down, and as Tony raised his hand to shield Gwen from the sharp glass, Chitauri soldiers swooped in for the kill.

They fired continuously, forcing Tony to dodge, all while releasing a fierce counterattack with his nano-weapons.

For Tony, dealing with these small fry was easy.

But Gwen didn't have much time left.

Bang!!

Suddenly, the clock tower erupted with a loud bang as Lizard Parker burst through the wall and leaped out again.

This time, Lizard Parker finally caught the falling Gwen, a smile crossing his face.

"I won't let you die."

In Lizard Parker's arms, Gwen, still shaken, stared at the hideous monster in front of her but noticed a hint of sadness in his eyes.

It was a strange look, almost like...

Thud!!

The next second, the ground beneath the clock tower shattered, and Gwen, cradled in Lizard Parker's arms, began bleeding from all orifices. His body hadn't cushioned her fall.

"No..."

Watching Gwen convulse and cough up blood, Lizard Parker howled to the sky in agony, clutching his head in despair.

On the balcony of the clock tower, Charlie stood silently, having arrived just a moment too late.

Well, everyone had been fighting over saving her, and in the end, Gwen had died an even more tragic death.

Oh well... restart!
