"Enough!"
616 Peter had just punched Green Goblin away when he heard an angry shout from above.
With a loud crash, glass shards rained down as a massive dark figure descended.
"Hey, buddy…" 616 Peter caught Kingpin's descending fist with agility that belied his frame, "You're overweight!"
"Damn it! Why do you all have to stop me at the crucial moment, every single time!" Kingpin's usually cold facade crumbled as his facial muscles twisted with rage while he unleashed a series of furious punches.
616 Peter, momentarily caught off guard, took a hard hit to the face. Before he could counter-attack, the big man overpowered him with brute force, flipping him over and hurling him away!
Spider-Man's strength far exceeds normal humans, but his weight doesn't.
Swoosh!
616 Peter swung on his web and landed on the collider, twisting his neck, "Why don't you reflect on why we're always stopping you instead of someone else?"
"Hey, you're making me dizzy." Miles descended from the sky, intercepting Kingpin who was ready to charge again, "Let me handle him, it's my job."
616 Peter pointed at Kingpin who glared at them, "That big guy, are you sure?"
"Of course."
616 Peter said nothing more. The two Spider-Men bumped fists and jumped off the collider in different directions.
"It's time to end this farce!"
By now, the continuously running particle collider had begun affecting the surrounding space-time. The closer to the energy center, the more one could feel the spatial fluctuations and distortions.
It was like a ticking time bomb that could detonate New York — or even the entire universe — at any moment!
The good news was that the situation was no longer under Kingpin's control.
Noir Spider-Man methodically tied up the high researchers one by one. Miles used his electric powers to gradually subdue the enraged Kingpin. Green Goblin, Tombstone, and Doctor Octopus found themselves overwhelmed in a coordinated group attack. Meanwhile, Gwen climbed to the ceiling with a control USB, ready to seize command of the collider.
The battle was clearly turning in Spider-Man's favor.
Johnson's role shifted from main attacker to support. He threw strategic punches and kicks where needed, helping the Spider-Men stabilize the situation before... taking off.
His target: the weapons vault at the bottom of the building. The alloy vault door, comparable to the U.S. Federal Reserve's, presented a challenge — but not an impossible one for Johnson.
Releasing his Psychic Power, he located the wall's weak spot. Two massive fireballs formed in his hands.

FANTASY CARD: Green Goblin Bomb CARD TYPE: Ability Card RARITY: R
┌─ SYSTEM DESCRIPTION ─┐
One of Norman Osborn's main offensive weapons, mutated into a magical attack in a certain parallel universe.
┌─ PRIMARY FUNCTION — RAGING FLAMES ─┐
Throw fire bombs with both hands, exploding upon impact with enemies.
┌─ SECONDARY FUNCTION — CLINGING DISEASE ─┐
Green Goblin's flames burn longer than ordinary flames and are harder to extinguish.
╚══════════════════════╝
This was Green Goblin's signature skill in this world, dropped during combat and now adapted to Johnson's form.
Though not high in rarity, it proved surprisingly useful.
Boom——
The greenish fire bombs struck in rapid succession, turning the thick concrete wall into something resembling an Oreo cookie — blasting a hole two people tall in an instant.
Stepping through the fire-licked opening, Johnson found a warehouse lined with rows of energy weapons. Though researchers had already taken some, enough remained to arm at least a company of soldiers.
Azure Psychic Power spread from his body, enveloping all the display racks on the floor.
By the time Johnson exited through the hole he'd created, the space behind him was cleaner than if it had been licked bare.

FANTASY CARD: Private Arsenal CARD TYPE: Item Card RARITY: R
┌─ SYSTEM DESCRIPTION ─┐
Black tech weapons secretly developed by Doctor Octopus in collaboration with Kingpin. The Chitauri would call them professionals.
┌─ PRIMARY FUNCTION — ENERGY WEAPONS ─┐
Mass-produced energy weapons of various types, enough to wage a small-scale war.
╚══════════════════════╝
Looting complete, Johnson returned to the underground space, satisfied.
The collider continued ejecting massive particle streams, but the scene below told the whole story — villains bound in spider webs and young Miles standing triumphantly before them, hands on hips. Clearly, control of both machines had successfully changed hands.
"Where did you go?"
A white silhouette landed silently behind him. Gwen removed her mask, revealing brilliant blonde hair and an inquisitive gaze.
"Handling some personal business." Johnson said as he put away his helmet, "Is the battle over?"
"Thanks to you." Gwen pointed to the figures gathered on the ceiling above the energy center, "Come on, everyone's waiting for you."
"OK, need a lift?"
"Hey, I didn't agree to that!"
The two figures soared upward, with Miles following closely behind, swinging on his web.
Miles bumped fists with everyone in turn, "Everyone, it's time for you to go home."
"Yeah, time to go home." Peni Parker stepped out of her mech, her tone a mixture of joy and sadness.
Hearing the usually cheerful girl speak this way instantly filled the air with a sense of farewell.
Peter Porker quickly climbed onto Noir Spider-Man's shoulder, "Don't be like that, we'll all miss you!"
"Yes, we're already friends."
"That's right." ×N
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Johnson recalled the heavily promoted Spider-Man multiverse sequel before his crossing over and couldn't help joking, "Maybe we'll have a chance to meet again?"
"No way, I don't want to come back to save the world again!"
"That's too exhausting!"
"Exactly, exactly!" ×N
Johnson: "..."
After some laughter, Miles activated the particle collider to open a space-time portal.
"I'll go first, everyone."
"See you when fate allows!"
Spider-Men from different universes dove into the space-time portal formed by energy streams, each using their familiar high-dive postures before disappearing from sight.
"My turn." Gwen nudged the dazed Johnson with her arm and smiled at the reluctant Miles, "I'll miss you guys."
"Me too..."
"Ah, see you later."
Their reactions were completely opposite. Gwen shrugged helplessly, then without hesitation let go of the ceiling, executed a perfect flip, and allowed gravity to pull her downward in free fall until she disappeared into the colorful particle stream.
Johnson came back to his senses, pondering a serious question—
How should he get back? Jump into the space-time portal like the others?
No way. Though the portal was ready-made, it connected only to Marvel's local multiverse, and the One Punch world wasn't among them.
Should he use his Stand ability to escape directly? Miles hadn't left yet. If he was seen, would it make things awkward when they hung out next time?
He doesn't seem like the type who would snitch, right?
