[Congratulations to the answerer, Peter Parker, for obtaining the reward skill: Water Breathing, Third Form — Flowing Dance!]
The system's notification sound rang out immediately afterward, and Peter Parker's reward was credited instantly.
"Flowing Dance? So this is the skill's real name. The name's a bit weird, sure—but it's pretty awesome!"
Peter Parker organized the information about Flowing Dance in his mind and couldn't help saying excitedly.
"Mr. Stark, everyone—I bet you can't guess what kind of skill this Flowing Dance actually is. It's really cool though. Want to take a guess?"
Unable to contain himself, Peter Parker started showing off before anyone could even ask.
"This isn't some kind of dance, is it?"Thor laughed from the side.
"Of course not, Mr. Thor!"
Peter Parker shook his head. Seeing that no one was particularly eager to guess, he continued on his own, "It's actually… a kind of footwork! It's… uh, hard to explain. I'll just demonstrate."
As soon as he finished speaking, Peter Parker's body suddenly flickered.
Like a ghost, he turned into an afterimage, circling everyone at extreme speed before returning to his original spot.
Everyone present was completely unable to keep up with Peter Parker's footwork.
They couldn't even see it clearly.
All they could vaguely perceive was a fleeting afterimage.
For "ordinary people" like Tony Stark and Scott Lang, that was understandable.
But even Captain America and T'Challa, highly trained individuals whose dynamic vision far surpassed normal people, were no exception.
To them, Peter Parker's movements were like scenery shrouded in thick morning fog—perceptible, yet impossible to grasp.
"Not bad. So this is Flowing Dance? An excellent footwork technique!"Captain America nodded approvingly.
"It really is impressive. Seems like it can even rival my Lingbo Footwork,"Tony Stark nodded as well.
"This footwork turns Peter into a ghost instantly! The only issue is the name—Flowing Dance? What does that even mean?"Scott Lang couldn't help complaining about the name.
"Water Breathing, Third Form…"
After pondering for a moment, T'Challa made a guess. "Peter, since there's a Third Form, does that mean there are Fourth, Fifth Forms, and so on?"
"That's right, Mr. T'Challa,"Peter Parker nodded. "Flowing Dance is the Third Form of Water Breathing. And Water Breathing has many other techniques as well."
This aligned with everyone's expectations.
"Then if there's Water Breathing, are there other types too? Like Fire Breathing or something?"Thor asked, having noticed something.
"Yes, Mr. Thor. Besides Water Breathing, there are also Sun Breathing, Flame Breathing, Sound Breathing, and many other breathing styles."
Peter Parker answered immediately.
"Wow!"Scott Lang exclaimed softly. "That sounds like a massive and highly complex system."
It was similar to the Ripple energy Captain America had obtained—far from a single technique, branching into many variations.
The difference was that Peter Parker had only received one breathing style, not the entire system.
Whereas Captain America had obtained the full system.
[Answer complete. Beginning playback of answer analysis!]
The system's notification suddenly sounded, and the corresponding analysis footage appeared on the large screen.
The first thing to appear before everyone was an enormous ring-shaped spaceship.
They were already familiar with it—it was the ship used by Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian in the previous round.
And atop that ring-shaped ship, a person was clinging to it—
It was Spider-Man, Peter Parker, wearing his suit.
"Whoa! What is this huge 'donut' thing? It's flying? That's me? Why am I up there? I mean… I've got to admit, that looks kind of exciting."
Peter Parker once again started chattering excitedly.
Whoosh!The sound of jet propulsion rang out.
On the screen—
Iron Man streaked through the sky, dragging long trails of flame as he rapidly pursued the flying donut ship.
"Activate 17A!"
While flying, Iron Man casually issued an order to his AI, Friday.
Whoosh!Something was launched instantly.
"Peter, let go. I'll catch you!"
At the same time, Iron Man spoke to Peter Parker through the comms.
"But you told me to go save the wizard!"Peter Parker replied, showing no intention of letting go.
But right after saying that, Peter Parker panted heavily and pulled off his mask. "I can't breathe!"
"We're too high—you don't have any air!"Iron Man replied.
"Yeah… that makes sense."
After saying that, Peter Parker lost consciousness due to lack of oxygen and fell straight off the ship.
At this point, it was already clear—this was the continuation of the previous question, where Ebony Maw abducted Doctor Strange.
Just as everyone expected, Iron Man didn't stand by—he went after them.
That led to the trip to Titan.
The only slight difference was that Peter Parker hadn't been sucked into the ship and was left outside instead.
On the screen—
Just as Peter Parker began falling, the object Iron Man had launched slammed into him.
It turned out to be a brand-new Spider-Man suit!
The suit quickly enveloped Peter Parker, reviving him instantly from his oxygen-deprived state.
"Mr. Stark, it smells like a new car in here!"Spider-Man shouted excitedly.
"Have a safe trip, kid!"Iron Man said without further chatter, then instructed Friday, "Friday, send him home."
A parachute pack suddenly deployed from the back of the suit, yanking Spider-Man downward.
But everyone watching knew—there was no way Spider-Man would be ditched that easily.
After all, Iron Man was going to officially recruit him into the Avengers later.
And they already knew the outcome—Spider-Man fought on Titan, meaning the parachute had been useless.
On the screen—
After "getting rid of" Spider-Man, Iron Man landed on the donut ship, sliced open the hull with a laser, and flew inside.
"Boss, Miss Potts is calling."
Just after entering, Friday issued a reminder.
What choice did Iron Man have? He answered the call.
"Tony, are you okay? Everything's alright, right?"Pepper Potts' voice was filled with worry.
"I'm fine. It's just that our 8:30 appointment might need to be postponed,"Iron Man replied while cautiously moving through the ship.
"Why?"
"Because I won't be able to get back anytime soon."
"Tell me you're not up there!"
"I am."
"Oh my god—no! Tell me you're not on that ship!"
"I'm sorry, honey… I'm sorry. I don't know how to explain it."
…
As they spoke, the signal abruptly cut out.
And just as everyone expected, during this call, Spider-Man had already snuck aboard the ship.
At this moment, Doctor Strange, who had been captured by Ebony Maw, finally appeared.
He was in a miserable state—utterly brutal to behold.
All around his body floated long, exaggerated blades, controlled by Ebony Maw, used to torture him.
"Aliens! Mr. Stark, those are aliens, right?!"
Spider-Man immediately pointed at Ebony Maw, slapping his thigh excitedly. "I knew it! I knew aliens were real! Movies didn't lie!"
"You really think so?"Tony Stark replied helplessly. "Kid, movies are just movies."
On the screen—
"I have served Thanos for many years and have never disappointed him."
Ebony Maw's voice echoed as he spoke to Doctor Strange."If we reach the rendezvous point on Titan and the Time Stone is still on you, I will be punished."
As he spoke, the floating blades slowly began piercing into Doctor Strange's body.
The sight made everyone's scalp tingle.
This wasn't something an ordinary person could endure.
Yet Doctor Strange, to his credit, didn't utter a single scream.
Neither Doctor Strange nor Ebony Maw realized that everything was being watched by a hidden Iron Man.
Pat!While scouting, Iron Man suddenly felt his shoulder tapped.
He spun around—only to see it was Doctor Strange's cloak.
"You're one loyal coat,"Iron Man muttered.
"That cloak is alive?! Holy crap—that's amazing! How does that work? Is it alive?!"
Spider-Man gaped in awe again.
Everything Peter Parker had seen today was bizarre and fantastical beyond belief—it was a true eye-opener.
On the screen—
"Speaking of loyalty."
A voice sounded, and Spider-Man suddenly appeared.
Iron Man was stunned. "What the hell?"
"I know what you're going to say!"Spider-Man cut in.
"You shouldn't be here."
"I tried to go home."
"I don't want to hear it!"
"But home was really far, and on the way I thought of you…"
"You're still talking?"
…
After their back-and-forth bickering, Iron Man could only helplessly let Spider-Man stay on the ship.
At this point, there was no sense kicking him out again.
They began discussing how to rescue Doctor Strange.
"Okay, have you ever seen a really old movie called Alien?"Spider-Man suddenly said.
"Ahhh!"
A scream rang out—Doctor Strange cried out under the torture.
"Hurts, doesn't it?"Ebony Maw said coldly."Originally designed for microsurgery—any one of these…"
He stopped abruptly, sensing something.
He turned his head.
Sure enough, Iron Man and Spider-Man were standing behind him.
"…can instantly kill your friend."Only then did the rest of Ebony Maw's sentence drift over.
"I should tell you—he's not really my friend,"Iron Man corrected him."Saving him is more of a professional courtesy."
A sneer curled on Ebony Maw's face. With a casual wave of his hand, two heavy objects floated up.
"You can't save anything. Compared to me, your power is insignificant!"Ebony Maw sneered.
"True—but that kid's watched a lot of movies,"Iron Man replied.
Whoosh!A missile launched—
Not at Ebony Maw, but at the hull.
Boom!A massive hole was blown open.
A terrifying suction force erupted, instantly dragging Ebony Maw out into space.
Doctor Strange was pulled out as well—
But at the critical moment, he was saved by his loyal cloak and Spider-Man.
As for Ebony Maw?
He became nothing more than a corpse drifting in outer space.
"Seriously?"
Scott Lang couldn't help complaining, "Ebony Maw just… died like that? That was way too easy!"
That was a being who had utterly dominated Doctor Strange!
Not just Scott Lang—everyone else was caught off guard too.
Ebony Maw's power was telekinesis—control over objects!
How did this make any sense?
Even with suction, he should've been able to anchor himself.
And the entire massive ship—no other minions?He even had to pilot it himself?
Where was the dignity of the Black Order?
And seriously—just you alone? Did you really need a ship the size of a skyscraper?
