However, just as Gwen plunged into the spacetime tunnel created by the particle collider at the last moment, a blue light inexplicably appeared before her eyes.
When she came to her senses, she found that she had not arrived in her original World, but in a familiar yet different New York.
Initially, although Gwen was a bit annoyed about her 'transmigration' error, she still tried her best to find a way back.
Even though she knew nothing about this World, her own abilities still allowed her to gather a lot of information.
For example, it seemed there was no legend of Spider-Man in this World.
Another example was what she saw on the news: Kingpin's power in this World had just collapsed.
In fact, when Gwen first heard this news, she even felt like her World had fallen apart.
After all, without Kingpin, there would be no particle collider, and she would have no way to return to her original World.
However, she still chose to go to Kingpin's original territory, hoping to investigate further, holding onto the hope that even if Kingpin was gone, the particle collider might have already been built.
But the final result was...
"There isn't, right?"
Luka stated the answer as a matter of course.
According to what he knew, Kingpin in this World had not even married yet, let alone had a wife or son.
In this situation, Kingpin naturally wouldn't choose to build a particle collider to find his deceased wife and child.
However, as soon as he spoke, Gwen's tone paused slightly.
"There is... No, I don't know..."
Now it was Luka's turn to be stunned.
"There really is a particle collider??"
'No, how could Kingpin, who is just starting out in this World, have the resources to build such a super-large black technology?'
Hearing Luka's question, Gwen spoke again.
"I don't know. I looked for it at the location of the particle collider in the other World, but I only found a similar experimental Base there. Before I could investigate further, the guards there discovered my infiltration. If I hadn't run fast, I might have died there."
Luka frowned tightly upon hearing this, and asked with some disbelief.
"Did you run into Kingpin's remaining forces? No, that's not right. With your skills, how could a group of ordinary people put you in a life-or-death crisis?"
Gwen gently shook her head.
"They weren't ordinary people. Most of them were equipped with energy weapons, and there were also several super-powered individuals and cyborgs among them."
"I was discovered by a cyborg, and then I was surrounded and severely injured."
Hearing Gwen say that, Luka decisively shook his head.
"Then they definitely aren't Kingpin's subordinates. If Kingpin had subordinates with such strength, he wouldn't have... wouldn't have been taken down so easily."
That being said, because of this news, Luka's doubts grew even stronger.
'When did New York get another force like this? Cyborgs, and super-powered individuals?'
Originally, Luka thought that after the Battle of New York, New York should be 'peaceful' for a long time, and other major events would mostly happen in other cities.
That's why he continued to stay in New York to develop steadily after dealing with Kingpin.
As it turned out, a metropolis where superheroes gather is indeed a place of trouble. Now, a mysterious force had inexplicably appeared.
"You said there were super-powered individuals? What were their abilities? What were their characteristics?" Luka asked.
Cyborgs and such sounded like mass-produced cannon fodder; even if they were right in front of Luka, he might not recognize whose product they were.
But if they were super-powered individuals, there might be clues.
Hearing Luka ask this, Gwen chose not to hide anything and, after a brief recollection, said,
"Several of the super-powered individuals should have the same ability: their bodies can emit high temperatures, and they can breathe Fire."
"But there was one guy different from them. His ability seemed to be able to transform his body into various different substances."
"During my fight with him, I noticed that he just wiped some metal that had fallen on the ground, and his whole body turned into a pitch-black iron block."
As Luka listened to Gwen's answer, a name immediately flashed through his mind.
"Absorbing Man?"
Gwen: "That's a very fitting name. Do you know that super-powered individual?"
The 'Absorbing Man' in Luka's mouth was a somewhat well-known villain in the Marvel Universe.
His ability itself was actually very powerful; by touching a certain substance, he could completely transform his body into the exact same material.
Logically speaking, with this ability, as long as he was given a Vibranium shield, this guy could instantly become a top-tier villain.
But whether it was because he wasn't very smart, this villain never thought of carrying some sturdy material with him to transform into.
He would basically only think of touching the cement ground or rubber tires after the fight had already started, which led to his combat record being very poor.
Otherwise, not to mention hard-to-find materials like Vibranium, even if he carried a diamond in his pocket, most superheroes probably wouldn't have much of a way to deal with him.
'However, if it's Absorbing Man, I remember this guy seemed to be working with HYDRA?'
Luka rubbed his brow with a headache.
There was nothing he could do. Although 'Absorbing Man''s ability was very distinctive, he was not an important character after all, and Luka really couldn't remember which faction the other party belonged to.
As for the 'Fire ability users' Gwen mentioned earlier, if it was a single person with Fire ability, it would be harder to guess, after all, 'even dogs don't eat the Mera Mera no Mi'.
But if several people with the same ability appeared at the same time, the only thing Luka could think of was the 'Extremis' super-soldiers, a defective product created by the villain Killian in Iron Man 3.
'It's just, how did Killian get involved with HYDRA too?'
As soon as he thought of so many troublesome guys mixed together, and judging by Gwen's words, they were clearly conducting some dangerous experiments, Luka immediately felt his head hurt even more.
At this moment, he already regretted bringing the other party back rashly.
Who would have thought that this guy would get involved in such big trouble as soon as he arrived in this 'different World'...
'No, villains causing trouble should be dealt with by the superheroes. My small body probably shouldn't get involved in such danger!'
Thinking of this, Luka calmed himself down and looked up at the Spider-Girl in front of him again.
"Actually, if you want to go home, you don't necessarily have to find a particle collider, do you?"
"Setting aside whether such a thing exists, even if you find a particle collider, you probably can't guarantee you'll return to your original World just by yourself, right?"
At this point, Luka was actually ready to'shout' at the ceiling, attempting to summon the Ancient One.
After all, 'parallel World invasion' should, by rights, be her responsibility.
Moreover, given that old guy's habit of checking the timeline for no reason, he might be able to'summon' her just by cursing a few more times.
However, who would have thought that before Luka could try to activate his 'Great Summoning Spell', Gwen actually pulled out a red USB drive with a spider symbol on it from her chest.
"Actually, I'm not the only one who accidentally entered this World."
