Chapter 2373 Psychic Assault (Twenty-Eight)
Spider-Man stood on a barren land.
Everywhere you look here is scorched earth, with only ruins left of the city. Countless smoke and dust are spreading from behind the hills, and flags of various colors are scattered all over the ground, no longer as bright as before.
Spider-Man slowly walked down the hill and found two bodies near the cave. They were wearing armor with exquisite carvings, but they had been dead for a long time. The bodies were not rotten, but lifeless.
Spider-Man took off their armor and found that one of them died from a sword piercing the chest, and the other had his abdomen cut open. However, they had one thing in common: the wounds on the bodies were not fatal. What was truly fatal was the powerful force that was flowing through their bodies and had not yet dissipated.
That was a power that Spider-Man didn't often come into contact with, but he knew something about—divine power.
After two days here, Spider-Man has not found any complete cities or buildings on this land. There are only corpses, corpses and more corpses. They all died from various wounds, and there are traces of battle all around them.
After walking for two days and still not getting out of the battlefield, Spider-Man realized that this universe was more special and dangerous than he had imagined. No wonder the mysterious being in the thick fog sent him here.
Humans often go to war, and Spider-Man understands this better than anyone else. People survive through struggle, but in fact, humans cooperate more often, and they have survived to this day by relying on cooperation.
But apparently, the only thing left in this universe is war. Without external interference, any normal human society cannot develop into this state. There must be another culprit behind the endless wars.
The appearance of divine power would not be a coincidence. Spider-Man understood that two days and two nights of walking brought him closer to the center of the battlefield. At the beginning, those who died on the periphery were ordinary soldiers who died of wound infection and turned into bones normally.
But now there were two inconsistent corpses in front of him. There were traces of divine power on their bodies, and judging from the patterns on their armor, they should be from the same pantheon.
"Stop! Who are you?!"
A panicked shout came from behind Spider-Man. He turned around and saw a panicked warrior holding a spear. His arm was injured and bleeding, and there was lingering divine power around the wound.
Spider-Man immediately raised his hands to show that he meant no harm and said, "Sorry, I'm new here and I don't know what this is all about. Can you tell me?"
Hearing him speak English, the soldier was stunned for a moment, and said in a daze: "Are you a human? Are you from the Dusk Plains? The one with the pointy ears?"
Spider-Man keenly caught the key words. He looked at the soldier, but his eyes fell on the wound on his arm. He said, "Are you injured? Let me bandage you first."
The soldier was stunned again. He turned his head and looked at his arm, then said, "No, I don't need to bandage it. This little wound will heal soon. I'm looking for my companions. They are doing reconnaissance here, but they didn't reply as promised. Have you seen them?"
To Spider-Man's surprise, this soldier behaved unusually friendly. Logically, people would not trust others so easily on the battlefield, but it seemed that this soldier was defenseless against Spider-Man because he thought he was Batman's subordinate?
"I saw two bodies." Spider-Man tilted his head to the side and said, "Just at the foot of the mountain over there. You can go and see if they are your companions."
The warrior ran away immediately, but soon came back somewhat frustrated. He said, "Yes, they both died in the battle. With the blessing of the Sea God, they will eventually return to the embrace of the sea."
"Are you a god?"
"Of course." The warrior nodded and said, "This is the battlefield of the gods. You shouldn't come here. But since you are already here, you should go back to your boss. Ares is looking for you all over the world."
At this time, Spider-Man walked towards the soldier. Although he did not have any stress reaction for the time being, he still cautiously took two steps back. Spider-Man said, "I have a way to treat your wound. Come here."
The warrior hesitated. He looked at Spider-Man and said, "Your human medicine is useless to me. Besides, this is the divine power left by the lunatics under Ares. Even the Moon Goddess has a hard time removing it. You should..."
Spider-Man stretched out his hand towards the warrior, and a thick mist surrounded his arm. When his hand touched the bloody arm armor, the bleeding stopped and the wound healed.
The warrior looked at his arm in shock, but he still took a few steps back and looked at Spider-Man and said, "You are not a human. Who are you? Who is your main god?"
"He... it's hard for me to say. I'm not even sure if he is a god. But anyway, can you tell me about the current situation? Even if it's for the sake of my helping you with treatment."
"If you want to get information, you've found the wrong person." The soldier spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty the Sea God was just dragged here. We are not good at fighting on land, and we can't even adapt to our legs well."
The warrior pushed aside his visor, and Spider-Man saw that he had scales on his cheeks and ears, and his eyes were a sparkling azure blue.
"I don't know what year the war started, but I've been fighting since I was born." The two of them found a mound nearby and sat down. The soldier said, "There's a war going on inside the ocean, there's a war going on outside, there's a war going on in your human countries, and there's a war going on in the Kingdom of God."
"But not long ago, Ares launched a war against the human kingdom. Of course, humans would not surrender. They have been resisting. Among them, the one called Batman is particularly strong. His Majesty the God of the Sea said that he is the most powerful warrior on land."
"But... you know, even heroes are tempted by beauty. I heard that Batman joined the war just for Diana. You should know Diana, the princess of the Amazon. She's a demigod, and I heard she's pretty."
"Ares found that the resistance he encountered was too strong, so he began to pull in other gods. Since there were wars everywhere, the duty of the God of War was war, and the other gods relied on Ares, so they had to participate in the war."
"But most of them are not willing to deal with Batman. For example, my Lord God basically sends a few people out every day to investigate. Ares urged them a few times, but they are all relatives, so it is difficult to persuade them."
"About two years ago, Ares was stopped by Batman and Diana at Dusk Plains. Of course, it can't be entirely attributed to the two of them. Some strange and powerful humans also got involved."
"Anyway, Ares was defeated. He was trapped there for a long time. I heard that he recently found a way to break through..."
"what way?"
"How should I know? I'm just a scout, but I think he must have found a way, otherwise he wouldn't suddenly challenge us to a fight after such a long stalemate."
"A fight? Who? Batman?"
"Yes, the location is in Dusk Plains. I heard that several main gods are heading there. They might want to take advantage. After all, they don't think highly of Ares. If Batman kills Ares, they can pick up his artifacts."
"When do they meet?"
"Uh, about two or three days ago. The dates here aren't very specific, but I feel like it's been a while."
Spider-Man stood up immediately and said, "Let's find a safe place to stay. I doubt it will be safe anywhere soon."
After saying goodbye to the warrior, Spider-Man immediately ran in the direction he pointed, but he did not forget to first pass through the thick fog and come to the huge black sun to ask him to lend him more power.
Although he had never had much contact with Batman, Spider-Man had heard of Batman's famous name a lot. In addition to seeing other Spider-Man discussions on the Spider APP, he also asked Black Sun for various information about Batman.
To sum it up in one sentence, as long as Batman has any connection with humans, he is not completely inhuman.
The serious situation finally made Spider-Man understand why the Black Sun sent him here.
After the merger of the old Earth of the Marvel Universe and Earth-1 of the DC Universe, the Amazing Spider-Man of the main universe, who moved with the old Earth-616, almost never returned.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to go back. The main reason is that he has never been idle since he was rescued by the black sun. He goes to this universe to run errands and then to that universe to deliver a letter. This is not a big deal. After all, he can return to the fog world at any time and there will be no danger.
But this was the first time he saw a god who held down the head of his believers and forced them to study, and would not let them leave until they had finished learning. Spider-Man was often locked in a foggy space to read those big books, and would not be allowed to leave until he had memorized them. After several months, Spider-Man felt that he was probably the most proficient Spider-Man in mysticism in the entire universe.
This is why he was able to identify the divine power in the two bodies immediately after discovering them. Although he was considered not very talented, he still learned simple methods to manipulate the mist.
Cover your eyes with mist and you can see the flow of energy. You can determine the nature of the energy based on the ripples of the flow. As for removing it, there is no need to do so. This kind of mist basically absorbs any energy and accepts all. You just need to let the mist come into contact with energy, no matter whether it is divine power or any other power, it will disappear directly.
So Spider-Man's life recently has been either running errands or studying in the fog. He occasionally returns to Earth just to take a look from afar to make sure that everything is in order in New York.
However, just two and a half days ago, Spider-Man received a huge knowledge package from Black Sun, which was the largest he had ever received. It described in detail the knowledge about the gods in various universes.
Spider-Man knew that this must be a big job, but he didn't expect it to be so big. He actually came directly to a universe where Batman led humans to fight against the gods.
Where should we start to save him? Spider-Man had a headache while thinking about it. He didn't even care whether Black Sun asked him to save him or not.
In fact, he had long discovered that the god he served, let's call him a god for now because there was no better name to refer to him, did things without any clear purpose.
He didn't ask Peter to go anywhere for any particular purpose. Peter could just find a hotel and sleep there until dawn. It didn't matter what he sent, or if it was robbed or lost along the way. It didn't even matter whether Peter went or not. It seemed that the other party was just interested in sending him there.
So Peter developed a habit of going wherever the Black Sun told him to go, and everything else was based on his own ideas. So far, this mysterious god had not expressed any opinion, neither confirming nor opposing.
Peter had a strange feeling, as if Black Sun was also interested in what he would do. He didn't care whether it was good or bad, he only cared whether it was interesting.
Peter looked into the distance, shook his head at the devastated scene, he knew he had to stop the war because no matter what, blood and death should not be the main theme of any universe.
