Vincent left his aunt's room.
But even after returning to his own room, his aunt's words still echoed in his ears.
Why did he acquire Body of Steel from Kara, and Spider-Sense from Gwen, instead of other Kryptonian or spider-gene superhuman abilities?
If it wasn't a random selection, then what was the determining factor for the permanent abilities he gained?
This was indeed a question worth exploring, a crucial key to the future development of the Lord of the Retinue's ability!
However, this was only theoretical.
After all, the method to trigger the acquisition of permanent abilities was too stringent! After Kara and Gwen, it was impossible to just find another superhuman of the opposite sex to experiment with... Vincent didn't consider himself a stud, and he wouldn't do anything without a bottom line.
So.
Vincent could only temporarily put this question aside... After he left, in the adjacent room.
Diana was also pondering the question she had just posed.
"If it's just an experiment, I..."
The black-haired woman pressed one hand to her prominent chest, and covered her beautiful, divinely sculpted profile with the other.
Her beautiful eyes showed no hesitation, she thought seriously for a long time, and finally shook her head.
The permanent abilities acquired by the Lord of the Retinue are irreversible and cannot be triggered repeatedly on the same person. Before knowing the rules and factors, there were too many uncontrollable variables in experimentation.
And Diana herself had a superhuman ability that she wanted to save for Vincent as a backup...
"Oh, right. Tomorrow is Monday, and classes start again..."
Vincent yawned tiredly, almost forgetting that he was still a student.
He was about to lie down completely on the bed to sleep when a thought suddenly struck him.
Vincent fumbled in his pajama pocket and soon pulled out a black USB drive, which had the iconic spider Mark, but after an intense battle, the metal USB drive was clearly chipped at one corner.
This was an extra farewell gift from the Spider-Man of the parallel Universe after the successful plan of action.
"I hope it still works."
Vincent forced himself to sit on the chair in his room, opened his rarely used old computer, and inserted the USB drive with the spider Mark into the host.
The next moment, the computer screen lit up, jumping to the USB drive's memory reading interface.
Vincent's eyes flickered as he saw a live video automatically start, recording a White young man preparing to change into his advanced Spider-Man suit:
"Vincent, I'm Spider-Man, Peter Parker."
"By the time you see this, I'm already dead..."
Vincent: "..."
That troublesome Spider-Man, as expected, had long anticipated his own Death in the original future.
But Spider-Man still, as always, brought Vincent and Gwen into the underground Base with five supervillains. To ensure the plan to destroy the energy collision device proceeded, Spider-Man clearly had already resigned himself to sacrificing himself there.
However, what Spider-Man couldn't have predicted was—
Vincent was able to defeat three or four supervillains, including Gwen, in such a short amount of time.
Vincent recalled.
Finally, when he left.
In the hollow area of the parallel Universe, only Spider-Man remained, along with the heavily injured, unconscious Black boy in his arms. On the villain's side, there were the heavily injured Kingpin, Doctor Octopus who had lost her mechanical claws, and Prowler who had expended some ammunition.
Judging from the situation, Spider-Man, burdened by the injured boy, was still at a disadvantage, but no longer in a situation of certain Death.
What his ending would be, whether Death or a reversal of the future.
Vincent might never know.
After all, that was something that happened in another dimension, too far removed from his own World.
In the video, the Spider-Man of the parallel Universe finally spread his hands and said:
"So, let me pass on some of my possessions. Anyway, you're from another dimension, so I'm not really giving up anything."
"I hope that even in another dimension, my things can help you... Oh, wait, now that I say it, it sounds like I made a profit, hahaha I finally made a profit!"
Watching the unrestrained and talkative Spider-Man, Vincent was speechless for a moment.
The video ended here, and then, a memory interface appeared!
"This is..."
Vincent's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at the rapidly popping up images of battle suits on the interface, a total of twelve suits.
Spider-Man had stored all the manufacturing blueprints for his battle suits in this USB drive!
Not only that.
There were also some peculiar super black-tech inventions, dozens of times more numerous than the Spider-Man suit blueprints, all designed and developed by Peter Parker himself over the dozen years since he became Spider-Man.
Actually.
From the fact that he could independently develop the Iron Spider suit and the Mark Spider armor, Vincent already knew that the Spider-Man of that parallel Universe was definitely a scientific genius comparable to Iron Man!
"Wait, this technological product is..."
Suddenly. Vincent discovered something among them, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
The value of this item in the USB drive far exceeded the sum of the twelve Spider-Man suit blueprints!
...The next day, morning.
Monday.
Due to staying up too late the previous night, Vincent woke up late and had just arrived at school when the class bell already rang.
Vincent stood at the door of his classroom, looking at his childhood friend Gwen, who was already sitting in her seat inside, her hair a bit messy, and guessed that she had swung to make it on time.
Cheater, dare you not be late together!
"Vincent, please come to my office."
At this moment, a pleasant and gentle voice sounded from behind him.
With his Spider-Sense, Vincent knew clearly without turning around that the assistant instructor, Felicia, wearing a shirt jacket and denim pants, was walking down the corridor beside him, carrying a stack of documents.
Vincent gazed at the graceful back with a head of flowing, shiny, silver-White long hair, and his mind couldn't help but recall the Black Cat thief he had seen with Guan Luo's help.
Their figures overlapped.
"What's meant to be... can't be avoided."
Vincent murmured to himself. He acted no different from other students, pretending to be a little nervous as he followed Teacher Felicia...
At the same time, at a middle school in Washington.
Inside a classroom.
A girl with crimson hair sat obediently in the last row. In fact, with her excellent academic record, ranking first in the entire school, she could have chosen a front or optimal seat in the classroom.
However, sitting in the last row was Wanda's own request.
For Wanda, the last row was quiet enough. Besides, she often had to ask for leave to go back and do housework, or study subjects like housekeeping and magic.
Wanda's excellent academic performance, coupled with the fact that the entire school belonged to the Wayne Group, meant that the teachers and even the principal treated her like a princess.
