Chapter 96: Into the Spider-Verse

 AN: Sorry for the dy. I wasn''t able to post anythingst week as I was too busy and stressed out :(

 First, my grandma passed away, then I tried to get a work leave but they won''t let me since we''re about to reach the deadline for the project, then numerous days of unpaid OT, had to attend the funeral, had to take my JLPT exam, had to host for apany event thing, had to join the Christmas party where I didn''t even win a single gift card, and more unpaid OT...anyway, I couldn''t get into the mood of writing and this arc is gonna be fun and chaotic so...

 Anyway, I will try to post another chapter tomorrow to make up for it. Also another chapter the following day after as I will be in a trip to Japan starting this Friday. Anyone also visiting? Maybe we''ll pass by each other XD

 So that would be three consecutive chapters...maybe more if I have time.

 That''s all. Enjoy!

 Chapter 96: Into the Spider-Verse

 One portalter, MJ arrived and immediately looked at the pig dressed like Spider-Man.

 “Oh, you meant a pig literally.”

 “What else could it mean?”

 Spider-Ham asked.

 MJ didn’t know how to respond to that so she immediately changed topics.

 She looked at Gwen with a raised eyebrow.

 “So you’re Spider-Woman. I didn’t think you had it in you, Stacy. You’re cool.”

 “Thanks?”

 “What the hell is she doing here?”

 Miguel turned to Benjamin and asked.

 “She’sing too.”

 “WHY!?”

 “Why are you so uptight about it. The more the better, right?”

 “She doesn’t even have any powers! Much less a Spider-Totem!”

 “Oh, right.”

 Benjamin remembered and quickly did another 10 pull gacha in the System

 Aaand sure enough, it was another Untainted Symbiote for the guaranteed red gacha.

 Benjamin sighed.

 System, are you doing this on purpose?

 [Host, if others are in your shoes, they would think this is great luck.]

 I know but still…I want other things!

 [Just buy them.]

 They’re too expensive!

 [...]

 Benjamin shook his head and nced at the other things he got.

 A bunch of equipment, minerals, and some minor powers like Enhanced Speed, Enhanced Reflexes, Laser Eyes, Incre-

 Wait, Laser Eyes?

 Benjamin looked at its description and nodded.

 Basically, he’s like Superman now. Or well, Cyclops but can control when it goes on and off.

 It’s a pretty neat power but Benjamin just shrugged.

 Anyway,pared to his other powers, it was a bit normal.

 Other than that, there weren’t any other interesting things so he didn’t care for it much and took out the Untainted Symbiote.

 “Here.”

 Benjamin tossed the canister to MJ who caught it in surprise and fumbled a bit.

 “This is…?”

 MJ asked.

 On the other hand, Peter and the rest were surprised as well.

 Miguel shouted.

 “Is that…a symbiote!? Don’t tell me you’re gonna let her bound with it!? Do you have any idea what you’re doing!?”

 “Also, don’t you just give those to your lovers or something?”

 Gwen added.

 “He what!? He has more of those!?”

 Miguel was shocked.

 Benjamin coughed and exined when he saw Peter’s look at him.

 “I don’t just give it to my lovers, I gave some to others too.”

 “Who?”

 “Umm, Odessa?”

 “Who’s that?”

 “Someone I just slept with one time.”

 “...”

 “Anyway, I don’t mean anything by it. She doesn’t have Inhuman genes and this is the quickest way I know for her to gain powers. Besides, with the symbiote, it’s nearly impossible for her to get hurt.”

 Peter sighed and turned to look at MJ.

 “Why do you even want toe? It’s dangerous!”

 “I know. That’s why I asked Mr. Freed to give me powers. Also, you’re about to go to a whole new universe, how can I not go!?”

 “...”

 Peter facepalmed himself and gave up. He knew MJ better than the others and naturally, knew that it was impossible to change her decision now that she’s made up her mind.

 “Well, with that on you, you should be pretty safe. But no wandering off. I don’t know how I can find you if you get lost in the multiverse. Either stay beside me or Capt.”

 “Okay.”

 MJ nodded and sidestepped to Benjamin’s side.

 Peter was speechless.

 MJ just shrugged at him.

 “What? It’s safer beside him.”

 “I mean, she has a point.”

 Gwen added as well.

 “...”

 “I’ll open this thing then.”

 “Woah woah woah! What the hell!? Why are you all so casual about that thing!? That’s a fucking symbiote! You know, like Venom!?”

 Miguel panicked when he saw MJ about to open the canister that contained the Untainted Symbiote.

 Peter asked.

 “Who’s Venom?”

 “Huh? Do you not have a Venom here?”

 “Nope.”

 “There wasn’t one in my original world too by the way.”

 “Ooh, we have one. I call him Pork Grind!”

 Gwen and Spider-Ham added.

 Miguel groaned in frustration.

 “It doesn’t matter if you have one or not. Anyway, symbiotes are dangerous!”

 “Oh, it’s fine. The ones I hand out are untainted ones. Basically, they have no ego like Venom or Carnage or such.”

 “Huh?”

 “It’s also not weak to sound or fire if you’re curious.”

 “...”

 Miguel was speechless.

 He knew how fearsome a symbiote is. But one without an ego and not weak to sound and fire? One that can be used without bacsh?

 What kind of cheat is that!?

 I want one too!

 “You…have more of those?”

 “Well, not a lot but yeah.”

 “...Can I-”

 “Nope.”

 “...”

 “I only give those out to the ones that really needed it. Like I said, I don’t have a lot.”

 Benjamin shrugged.

 Well, it’s also because he just didn’t like this Miguel guy much.

 But it was true that he mostly handed it out to the ones that need it.

 Natasha didn’t have a single power so he gave her one.

 Anna couldn’t touch another person as she feared of her powers activating and killing them so he gave her the symbiote.

 Susan’s powers allow her to be invisible but not her clothes so having a shape-shifting symbiote was convenient for her.

 Ophelia, like Natasha, was also just a normal person with some resistance to poison so he gave her one to better protect her.

 Felicia, although has powers she is still unaware of, doesn’t help much in terms of attack power or defense so he gave her a symbiote. It also allows her to disguise herself easily.

 Odessa was also a normal person and is going to space and facing a lot of alien threats so he gave her one.

 MJ is…well, a normal person who’s about to head into the multiverse so he gave her one to protect herself.

 Giving one to Miguel? Why?

 Who knows if this guy would backstab themter or something?

 Anyway, MJ opened up the canister and soon, the symbiote bounded with her.

 With a thought, white and red threads appeared around her, creating a suit that looked simr to Spider-Man but with different color schemes. Instead of red and blue, hers was red and white.

 She also didn’t have a full facemask but one that only covered her eyes as she simply tied her long red hair to a bun on her head.

 cing her left hand on her hip, she looked at Peter teasingly.

 “Face it Tiger, you just hit the jackpot.”

 Peter was stunned while Gwen just rolled her eyes.

 “What is it with MJs and tigers?”

 Miguel looked at MJ and started to speak.

 “You…no, nevermind.”

 “What?”

 MJ asked but Miguel ignored her.

 “Anyway, if that’s everything, let’s get going. We’rete enough as it is.”

 Tapping a few buttons on his bracelet, a portal appeared on the floor before them.

 Miguel grumbled while jumping into the portal.

 “Ugh, those guys are gonna go crazy again…”

 Spider-Ham soon followed after him and Gwen was about to enter as well when she suddenly stopped and turned.

 “Wee to the Spider-Verse.”

 Gwen grinned and leaned back, falling into the portal in style.

 MJ and Peter turned to look at each other for a moment before sprinting to the portal.

 “Last one there’s a rotten egg!”

 Benjamin looked at the two and just chuckled and shook his head.

 Suddenly, he remembered something.

 “Come to think of it…did Peter forget Leah’s still on his back?”

 It seems that for a while now, Leah had fallen asleep but was stilltched onto Peter behind him.

 And no one also mentioned it.

 …Well, it should be fine.

 Benjamin shrugged and was about to follow them as well when the System appeared.

 [Host. Do you really want to intervene in this?]

 Huh? Why are you asking that now?

 [It’s nothing. Have a nice trip, Host.]

 …No, why are you being weird about this? Is something gonna happen?

 [Host is imagining things. Please be on your way.]

 No no no. You don’t just say things like that and shrug it off! This is obviously a g!

 [...]

 And you’re silent again.

 Benjamin sighed.

 In any case, even if something is about to happen, he can’t just turn a blind eye to this now that their universe is involved.

 As Benjamin disappeared into the portal, the door snapped open and a figure in red and ck suit appeared.

 “FRANCIS!”

 It was Deadpool

 Deadpool looked around and scratched his head.

 “Oh, it’s just an empty room with a suspicious-looking portal in it.”

 He closed the door again and walked off.

 “Wait, did I just see a suspicious-looking portal?”

 Deadpool finally reacted and returned to the room.

 Staring at the portal, Deadpool spoke to himself.

 “Don’t go into the very suspicious-looking portal. Don’t go into the very suspicious-looking portal. Don’t go into the very suspicious-looking portal. Don’t go into the very suspicious-looking portal. Go into the very suspicious-looking portal. Oh, okay.”

 Deadpool got into a diving pose and jumped inside like an Olympic diver.

 “Chimichangaaaaaaa~!!!”
