Chapter 034: Don't Underestimate Kids

Yes, the black Spider-Man who was sent flying was naturally Miles.

He hit the ground in a sorry state, and it took him a while to get up. He pulled off his crudely made mask, looking utterly bewildered, as if questioning life itself.

Wang Bo had to ask again, "Miles, are you okay?"

"No, I'm fine. Yes, I'm fine." Miles stood up, ignoring Wang Bo, and focused his attention on Gwen instead, asking in amazement, "How did you do that?"

"What?" Gwen asked.

Miles imitated Spider-Gwen's movement, mimicking the standard pose for the Overheat Whip. When Donquixote Doflamingo used this move, he would first stretch his hand backward, similar to the preparatory motion Luffy used when employing his "Gomu Gomu no Mi" ability.

From his palm, dozens of nearly transparent thin threads would shoot out, then he would twist these threads together to form a thick column like a strand of hair.

After that, he would extend this column as far back as possible, and when he swung it forward to strike an enemy, it could cut them in two, or even slice a tall building in half in an instant. This move had an extremely wide range, easily reaching "Dressrosa" even from several kilometers away.

The downside was that once used, it was very difficult to retract.

Although Gwen's Overheat Whip wasn't as terrifying, it could still span hundreds of meters.

But the web lines Miles shot were far from being as strong and powerful as Gwen's.

Not only were they weak, but their range was also short.

So he was very curious, "How did you do it? Why can't I manage it no matter what? Is there some secret?"

Good question, Miles.

Wang Bo was also curious why Gwen in this world knew this move.

So he put on a curious expression and looked at Gwen.

Gwen hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, I learned this move from another version of myself."

Another world?

So Spider-Gwen is also in this world?

Hadn't he already sent her back to her original world? Could she have crossed over again? That would be unfortunate, but Wang Bo was actually pleased, because it meant he had a remarkably powerful ally.

"What do you mean by another version of yourself?" Miles asked, completely unable to understand what Gwen Stacy meant.

Gwen Stacy said, "Actually, a while ago, I kept having a dream. In the dream, I became a Spider-Woman and formed a band. All my combat skills, I learned from the version of myself in the dream."

"I asked someone, and they told me that what I dreamed about might be the memories of another version of myself in another world."

"So I naturally learned these moves."

Miles: ...

Why can I understand every word you say, but when I put them together, I can't make sense of it?

Is it because I'm too stupid?

Wang Bo: ...

He hadn't expected that Gwen learned Ripple Qigong and the Overheat Whip this way. It wasn't really that unbelievable—for instance, Cindy Moon could cross parallel universes to locate Peter Parker.

So it didn't seem impossible that Gwen, having learned Ripple Qigong and become incredibly powerful, could cross parallel universes and influence her alternate self.

Wang Bo had thought he would have a reliable ally, but now it seemed he had been getting his hopes up for nothing.

Creak...

Just as the three were lost in thought, the door to the underground bar was pushed open again.

A black-haired woman walked in. It was Cindy Moon, whom Wang Bo had just been thinking about.

"Excuse me, is this... Spider-Man? Two of them?"

Cindy Moon was startled to see Miles and Gwen.

Miles looked at Wang Bo.

Wang Bo walked over and stood in front of Cindy Moon, saying, "Let me introduce you. This is your third partner, and the third member of our Spider Team."

Miles nodded and said, "Welcome."

Gwen looked at Wang Bo and said, "It seems she hasn't been injected with the spider serum yet."

Once injected with the spider serum, one would gain the ability of spider-sense. When two Spider-People got close, their spider-senses would resonate.

Without any explanation, the two could understand each other's identity. That was how it was with her and Miles, but she didn't feel that sensation from Cindy Moon.

Wang Bo nodded, "Yes, she hasn't been injected with the spider serum yet. But I believe, since she's come here, she will definitely join us. Am I right, Miss Cindy Moon?"

"Yes." After meeting Wang Bo yesterday, Cindy Moon had thought it over all night and finally decided to join and choose a new way of life.

So today, she mustered the courage to come here.

"Good." Wang Bo clapped his hands, took a vial of spider serum from his pocket, and handed it to Cindy Moon.

Cindy Moon looked at the blue syringe and couldn't help asking, "How should I use this?"

"Just inject it directly."

"Anywhere?"

"Yes."

"Alright." Cindy Moon gathered her courage and plunged the syringe into her arm. Instantly, the blue serum inside flowed continuously into her body.

Cindy Moon pulled out the syringe, waved her arm, and said, "It seems... I don't feel anything."

"Of course," Wang Bo said. "It takes some time for your physique to change. You can get some sleep first. When you wake up, you'll become a new Spider-Man."

"But I'm not sleepy at all."

"Don't worry, you'll feel sleepy soon."

Everyone who was injected with the serum would be transformed during sleep; no one was an exception.

But before Cindy Moon could feel drowsy, the door to the underground bar was pushed open again, and a blonde woman with glasses walked in.

Instantly, the blonde woman, Miles, and Gwen involuntarily clutched their heads and went, "Oh wow."

Their spider-sense fields overlapped, allowing the three to instantly recognize each other's identities... kindred spirits!

Miles spoke again, "Welcome. I'm Miles."

"You can call me Gwen Stacy."

The blonde woman glanced at Wang Bo and said, "I thought the people you found would be reliable, but they're just kids. Are you crazy? Sending two kids into battle."

Miles felt underestimated and was about to retort, but Wang Bo interrupted him, "Don't underestimate the destructive power of kids, and don't underestimate their determination. In my opinion, they're even more capable than you."

Having said that, before the other could argue, Wang Bo introduced her to everyone, "This is our new member of the Spider Team. Carlie Cooper."
