Chapter 271 Parker
Just as Joey was struggling with whether or not to follow Thanos's example and try to destroy the gems, Spider-Man quickly stopped him from making a rash move:
"Don't do that, he has other uses!"
All data has a traceable basis. Since Ultron could invade the past from the future through Vision, they might also be able to pinpoint Ultron's location in the future by using Vision's body.
"That's true."
After saying this to Nurse Joy, who was staring at Ultron through Vision's body, waited for a long time, but the expected surprise did not come.
"This body didn't have a self-destruct mechanism?"
"Hmph, I'll be back—"
Vision's eyes gradually dimmed, as Ultron, fed up with the questions and unable to bear the humiliation, simply shut down.
This cyborg body was already only half left, and its ability to serve as a signal relay is a testament to Ultron's advanced technology.
Trying to self-destruct through an overload energy circuit like a complete machine is simply wishful thinking, especially with Superman watching closely at all times.
After uttering such a harsh statement, Ultron ultimately withdrew from this world for the time being.
No one knows the true location of Ultron, and even the information that the Avengers risked their lives to obtain only leads to a certain death.
"With Vision's body, maybe we can trace back and even analyze what flaws exist in Ultron's learning algorithm," Spider-Man muttered to himself, seemingly having at least nine ways to kill Ultron.
Watching Peter Parker's incessant chatter, Joey felt a strange sense of unease.
This Spider-Man was just as talkative, but he wasn't the kind of talkative Joey usually encountered. The way he discussed Vision was quite suspicious.
The Spider-Man in front of me looks to be at least in his late twenties or early thirties. He's not some clueless newbie Spider-Man who doesn't know anything. It's impossible that he doesn't recognize Vision, one of the important members of the Avengers.
The end of the world may change some people's mindset, but Spider-Man's core will never change.
The fact that Spider-Man doesn't care about Vision, who now only has half a body, shows...
Spider-Man, still deep in thought, felt a chill run down his spine when Joey's gaze suddenly shifted: "What?"
"You're not Spider-Man."
Joey concluded confidently, disproving the man's claim to be Spider-Man: "At least not the Peter Parker I thought he was." A flicker of panic crossed Peter Parker's face, but he quickly regained his composure: "Who are you? Neither I nor anyone in the Avengers has ever seen you before."
At this moment, he was already cursing under his breath: Why is there absolutely no information about this person in Peter Parker's memory?
Who exactly is this person who looks like a sentry in front of us?
"It doesn't matter if you don't know me, the important thing is that I already know who you are."
As Joey spoke, he reached out and grabbed at Spider-Man in front of him: "Whatever, you have to come with me."
Don't even think about it!
Four insect-like pincers suddenly extended from the back of Spider-Man's suit, striking Joey's vital points such as his forehead and Adam's apple. The mere fact that someone who had discovered his true identity was alive was enough to keep him on edge, and in desperation, he chose to act immediately:
"die!"
"Why can't you use your brain before you act? You're a genius among geniuses."
Before the spider-sense could react, Joey had already grabbed the other's throat, his eyes flashing with heat as he easily severed the four mechanical arms that were attacking him.
"Am I right, Otto Octavius?"
Spider-Man's mind raced as he was being choked. He thought he wouldn't have to maintain that tiring disguise in front of someone who had no connection with Peter Parker, but his momentary lapse in concentration allowed the other party to see through his disguise at a glance.
Yes, he is not "Spider-Man" or "Peter Parker," but a clever man who stole everything from Spider-Man—"Doctor Octavius" Otto Octavius.
This happened a year or two ago. At that time, Oto was terminally ill and near death. Through several collaborations with Spider-Man, he successfully ambushed Peter and swapped his soul and memories with him.
The real Peter Parker has died trapped in Doctor Octopus's ailing body. The one who now acts as Spider-Man and Peter Parker is Doctor Octopus Otto Octavius, AKA Octopus Parker—'Ultimate Spider-Man'.
Being in a post-apocalyptic world would undoubtedly keep people on edge at all times. After his momentary moment of impulsiveness, Ultimate Spider-Man quickly calmed down once he found himself in a situation where he was completely at the mercy of others.
Looking at the red-cloaked figure entering and exiting the impregnable Ultron Fortress as if it were empty, he knew that denying his identity was pointless at this point.
"You're right, what do you want?"
"For example, pulling your consciousness out of Peter Parker's body?"
As Joey carried the defenseless Zhang Parker like a chick to the Antarctic sanctuary, he casually rambled on, "Just kidding—I don't have the Sorcerer Supreme's methods."
If Joey remembers correctly, the "Octopus Parker" in front of him is not just a simple case of "Doctor Octopus's soul taking over Peter Parker's body."
In the final battle, their consciousness and memories intertwined, and consciousness and memories determine personality. The current Ultimate Spider-Man is more like a new product created by breaking down and mixing the souls of Doctor Octopus and Peter Parker.
He possesses the ruthlessness of the villainous Doctor Octopus, but also a part of the childlike innocence of the superhero Peter Parker. The combination of these two traits creates Octopus Parker, an anti-hero who walks the line between good and evil.
However, this hybrid's self-awareness currently leans more towards that of Doctor Octopus.
"Relax." Judging from the tension in his muscles, Joey could easily tell that Zhang Parker, whom he had captured in the air, was still silently gathering strength, ready to deliver a powerful blow at any moment.
All he had to do was dispel the other party's doubts:
"I've seen hundreds of Spider-Men from parallel universes, and there are many versions even stranger than yours. There must be at least a hundred versions of your feud with Peter Parker. I really don't care."
To be honest, Joey really cared about the fact that Doctor Octopus had taken over his place and was living as Peter Parker forever; it was just too much of an eyesore.
But as Joey said before, it doesn't matter, we'll have to wait until we've dealt with Ultron before we can talk about it.
The separation of their consciousnesses can be discussed later. Whether it's a black spider or a white spider, the one that can do the work is a good spider.
If the other party really misunderstands and secretly prepares to fight for survival at all costs, that would be too bad. "Otto, I don't intend to reveal your identity to others. Even if that day comes, I will prepare a new body for you to ensure that you and Peter are both safe and sound."
"Peter is dead!" Zhang Parker watched as Peter, with whom he had swapped consciousness, died inside Otto's old and decaying body.
"I buried him with my own hands!"
Peter Parker is long gone. This person's talk of separating Peter from himself is 100% impossible; it's pure wishful thinking.
"Heh." Joey just smiled nonchalantly.
"Compared to the difficulties I have, your problem doesn't even rank in the top ten."
"We've arrived, 'Peter Parker.' This shelter is full of familiar faces, so be careful not to give yourself away."
During their conversation, the two had already returned to the wilderness of Antarctica. Having picked up a highly motivated free laborer, Joey's first instinct, now that she had leverage over him, was to exploit him to the fullest extent.
"I've finished explaining the precautions—get to work!"
