"I wanted to bring you here, but I didn't expect you to come here on your own initiative. It's really like a sesame seed falling into the eye of a needle. It's fate."
"Wait, is this really a coincidence?"
Peter looked incredulous.
"I used to know everything, but after going through so much, I am now out of touch, out of information, out of manpower, and even a high school kid dared to ignore my calls!"
Nick Fury looked very angry, and his face that looked like a child trying to stop crying made him look even more eerie and terrifying.
But for some reason, at the end, Peter only felt... sad, and even wanted to laugh a little.
No, Peter, you have to hold it in!
Without noticing his tangled expression, Nick Fury took out a holographic projection device from his pocket and placed it on the table, then said:
"A week ago, a village in Mexico was flattened by a hurricane that, according to eyewitnesses, had a human face."
“Hoo~Hoo~Hoo~”
Ned could be heard snoring in his sleep.
"Three days later, a similar incident occurred in Morocco, destroying the village..."
Boom boom boom!
"Peter, I think you might need some psychological guidance. After all, what you encountered today was really horrifying."
After the teacher left...
"So it is imperative that..."
"Hey, baby, are you in there?" Betty's voice interrupted someone again.
"Oh, Ned fell asleep in my place."
After Peter had sent away wave after wave of visitors, Nick Fury sighed helplessly, "If someone comes knocking on the door again later, I think you and I should attend a funeral together."
Nick Fury, without any explanation in his mood, then took out a small box and handed it to Peter.
"This is something Stark left for you. He asked me to tell you that if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. He also said that you probably don't understand what this sentence means because it's not a line from Star Wars, haha!"
Peter opened the box and found a pair of glasses inside.
"Mr. Stark..."
. . . . . . . . . . .
After putting on their Spider-suits, Peter and Nick Fury came to the temporary base here.
It's called a temporary base, but in fact it's just hiding in the sewer... It's so simple that it makes people feel sad.
As glorious as SHIELD was in the past, it is now in decline.
Fortunately, Peter has no idea what a behemoth SHIELD used to be.
So there is no harm without comparison, and he didn't think there was anything wrong.
"Come in, there is no need to hide your identity here, or rather, everyone here knows your true identity."
After entering, Peter looked around while listening to Nick Fury introduce other people's names to him.
"And this one is Baker."
"Mysterio?"
"Um?"
Baker took off the fish tank hood and looked at Peter in confusion.
"Oh, Mysterio is what you are called in the news." Peter explained immediately.
"Well, you can call me Quentin."
After the two shook hands, Mysterio praised them: "Your performance today was outstanding. I saw you hang on the bell tower. I wish there were people like you in my world."
"Thank you. Wait, I'm sorry, did you say... your world?"
"Oh, although Mr. Baker is from Earth, he is not from our planet." Nick Fury interjected.
"There are multiverses in the world, Peter. You are in Universe 616, and I come from Earth in Universe 833." Mysterio explained seriously.
After hearing this, Peter's face suddenly flashed with excitement, and then he walked up impatiently and asked, "Excuse me, are you saying that the multiverse really exists? I thought it was just a purely theoretical concept. What I mean is that this will completely change our understanding of singularities. We are now talking about a system of eternal expansion. How is this related to quantum fluctuations... This is really too exaggerated!"
Peter chattered excitedly about something that no one could understand, until he noticed the dead-eye stares from Nick Fury and Agent Hill, then he shut up awkwardly.
"I'm sorry, this is really too shocking. I can't help myself."
"Don't apologize for being smarter than everyone else." Mysterio comforted Peter gently.
"Hmph!" Nick Fury turned away unhappily.
Agent Hill then operated the console for some time, and a holographic projection of a black hole appeared among the crowd.
Then the mysterious man explained: "They were born from the stable orbit inside the black hole. These creatures are composed of four elements, namely wind, water, fire and earth. The scientific department has a special term for it, but we are accustomed to calling them... elementals."
"Their incarnations are found throughout all human mythology systems, and no one could have imagined that myths could actually be true."
Peter suddenly said, "Like Thor! He is a mythical figure, but now I am studying him in physics class."
Everything seems to be becoming more believable...
"Many years ago, they materialized on my Earth. We gathered all our strength to fight them, but every battle made them stronger. In the end, only one team was left to fight to the death. I was one of them. We are nothing but a scorched earth and a stone in the face of destiny."
"The elementals have now come to our world, and the location of the attack is the same as what Baker said. Our satellites have confirmed it."
"Thanks to Mr. Baker, three of them have been eliminated. Now there is only one left, the fire element."
Hill and Nick Fury each added some information to Mysterio's explanation so that Peter could more clearly realize the seriousness and urgency of the matter.
"The fire element is the strongest of them all, but it was also the one that destroyed my Earth and took away my family." Mysterio lowered his head in sadness.
Although Peter felt the same and was sad, but... why were the elementals who had already destroyed an Earth and made everyone on that Earth powerless now being killed one after another by Mr. Baker alone
He was a little confused about this...
Moreover, he did not agree with the idea of destiny. Mr. Stark and Mr. Dio had proved to everyone with their actions that destiny was in everyone's hands.
Compared with Thanos who believes in "I am the destiny", these elements do not seem to be so powerful that they are despairing.
Or is it that there aren't so many ruthless people in Mr. Baker's world, so he was defeated by a few elementals
Peter instinctively didn't want to get involved, but the kindness in his heart made him feel conflicted.
