"It will be up to me, Lin Tian!"
"And my queen and my knights!"
"Together we will govern!"
"All the old order will be broken!"
"All will to resist will be crushed!"
Those who obey me!
"You will gain power, glory, and eternal peace!"
Those who oppose me!
"You will be plunged into endless darkness! You will suffer eternal torment!"
"This! Is my will!"
"This! This is the universe!"
"Brand new!"
"law!"
The turmoil in the DC main universe temporarily subsided in the face of Lin Tian's absolute power, which was like that of a god or demon descending to earth.
The heroes of the Justice League, whether genuinely subservient, harboring ulterior motives, or completely transformed, have all become pawns on Lin Tian's chessboard, manipulated at will. Gotham City's underground order has been reshuffled and brought under his control. Even the Amazons of Themyscira, under the influence of Diana, their new inside man, maintain a state of awe and tacit acceptance towards Lin Tian.
It can be said that Lin Tian's initial layout in this DC universe is basically complete. Although there are still many details and potential threats to be dealt with, these are no longer priorities for Lin Tian, who has already set his sights on the broader multiverse.
Inside the secret base on that volcanic island in the South Pacific, which has been transformed into a divine kingdom on earth.
Lin Tian finished another round of sorting out his own power and integrating his understanding of various cosmic laws. His late-stage Nascent Soul realm was completely stable. In fact, due to the fusion of various top-level energies such as the power of the Phoenix, the power of Krypton, and the power of the Amazons, his Primordial Unity Immortal Essence became even more vast and pure, and his Yang God became more condensed and immortal. He had faintly touched the threshold of the higher realm of Refining Emptiness and Integrating with the Dao.
But he knew that to truly break through that level, he needed a more powerful opportunity and a more fundamental accumulation of energy. Simply relying on secluded cultivation or dual cultivation with his existing harem members was becoming increasingly inefficient.
He needs new nourishment, new stimulation, and new challenges.
"Zero," Lin Tian said lazily, leaning back in his captain's chair, as he addressed the empty control room, "Report on the recent energy fluctuations in the multiverse. Any interesting discoveries?"
"Yes, Master." Zero's cold yet efficient voice immediately rang out, and a dense array of star charts and energy data streams instantly appeared on the huge holographic screen.
"Based on continuous scanning and analysis of known and newly discovered parallel universes," Zero reported, "most of these universes have similar energy levels and legal systems to those you have experienced before, and lack sufficient value for exploration."
“However,” Zero paused slightly, and the data stream on the screen began to focus on several special coordinate points, “we detected several cosmic coordinates with unusually active energy fluctuations and extremely unique law systems.”
“One of the coordinates, codenamed ‘Earth-807128,’ presents a post-apocalyptic wasteland style, with an energy system mainly based on biological mutation and technological modification. There are powerful individuals named ‘Wolverine’ and ‘Hulk’, but the overall energy level is relatively low, which does not seem to meet your requirements.”
"Another coordinate, codenamed 'Earth-TRN009,' has an unusually high level of magical energy, seemingly closely linked to Asgard and the Dark Elves, but the timeline appears to be in some kind of 'end' state? The energy fluctuations are extremely chaotic and dangerous."
“There’s another coordinate…” Zero’s voice seemed to carry a hint of interest, “codenamed ‘Earth-TRN700.’ The energy fluctuations in this universe are very peculiar! We detected an extremely faint yet seemingly omnipresent special network-like energy field connecting countless parallel universes! This energy field seems to be related to some kind of totem worship and the origin of life! And in this universe and the many parallel universes connected to it, there are energy signals that are extremely similar to those of Miss Gwen Stacy!”
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Lin Tian's eyes instantly blazed with an incomparably brilliant light. "An energy field connecting the multiverse? Totem worship? The origin of life? And countless Gwen Stacys?"
He almost immediately thought of that special entity that occupies an extremely important position in the Marvel multiverse—the Web of Life!
And related to it—the spider totem!
This is good stuff!
Lin Tian had been curious about this multiverse setting, which was full of fatalism and mystery, for a long time.
The Web of Life, said to be woven by the master weavers of the multiverse, connects all of reality—past, present, and future. It is not only the source of power for all spider totems, but also contains the ultimate secrets about destiny, cause and effect, and even the workings of the multiverse itself.
Spider totems, chosen by the Web of Life, are special entities representing the concept of "spider" in various universes. They possess various unique spider abilities and share a mysterious connection and resonance with each other.
If I could control the web of life, if I could decipher the origin of the spider totem's power, I could even turn all the spider women of the multiverse into my collection.
Lin Tian's heart pounded violently because of this crazy yet tempting idea.
This is practically tailor-made for him, a perfect hunting ground that allows him to simultaneously satisfy his three great passions: the pursuit of power, the exploration of laws, and the collection of a harem.
Moreover… Lin Tian glanced at Gwen beside him, whose body stiffened slightly upon hearing the name “Gwen Stacy,” and who exuded a strong possessiveness and hostility beneath her purplish-black symbiote suit.
A smile, the kind only a demon would wear, curled at the corners of his lips.
Taking your own Gwen to meet Gwens from other universes? Just thinking about this chaotic scene is exciting!
"Zero!" Lin Tian didn't hesitate any longer and immediately ordered, "Lock onto the coordinates of this Spider Universe! Begin detailed intelligence gathering and analysis immediately! I need to know all the information about the Web of Life, the Spider Totem, and that so-called Heir Family!"
"Yes, Master!" Zero immediately began operating at full power, and a massive stream of data refreshed the screen like a waterfall.
Soon, some information about the Spider Universe was analyzed by Zero and presented to Lin Tian.
The legend of the Web of Life, the types and abilities of the Spider Totem, the origin and purpose of the Heirs family, the terrifying power of Moron, and the gathering and crisis of Spider-Men from the multiverse.
As Lin Tian looked at this information, the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Indeed, this universe is full of both opportunities and challenges.
A family of heirs? Vampires who specialize in hunting spider totems? Sounds like a good leveling target? And I can also study their ability to drain life energy while I'm at it?
Spider-Man/Spider-Woman from the multiverse? Perfect material to capture and use as experimental subjects, to study the differences in spider totems across different universes, and to see if there are any rare collectibles.
As for the Web of Life itself... a hint of greed flashed in Lin Tian's eyes.
This is a divine artifact that connects the multiverse! If I could control it, wouldn't I be able to become a weaver of the multiverse to some extent, possessing the terrifying ability to interfere with fate and cause and effect?
The temptation is too great.
"It seems our next stop has been decided." Lin Tian stood up, his eyes filled with unprecedented excitement and a desire for conquest.
"Target—Spider Universe!"
"I want to experience firsthand what the mystery of this so-called Web of Life really is!"
"I also want to go and meet those poor little spiders."
"By the way," Lin Tian's gaze swept over the queens around him, whose eyes were also filled with different expressions as they were about to embark on a new journey, "to add some new color to my harem."
A new journey begins.
This time, Lin Tian will step into the spider web, a web brimming with endless possibilities and dangers, to hunt down the spider queens—some sexy, some cute, some heroic—to challenge the ancient hunters who feast on life, and even to peek into the ultimate mystery that connects the fate of the entire multiverse.
147 Spiderweb Phantom, Queen's Troops! A chance encounter at the street corner, a fateful first meeting!
Having decided that his next target was the Spider Universe, a universe brimming with endless possibilities and allure, Lin Tian immediately began making final preparations before setting off.
First, it's about choosing the Queen to accompany him on this trip.
The Spider Universe, as its name suggests, has a core power system closely related to the concept of "spider." Although Lin Tian has absolute confidence in his own strength, considering the mysterious and unpredictable nature of the life web connecting the multiverses, as well as the potentially powerful enemies, bringing some suitable helpers would undoubtedly make this hunting trip easier, more enjoyable, and more fun.
Lin Tian's gaze slowly swept over the queens in the base hall, whose expressions varied as they learned they were about to travel to a new world.
Wanda Maximoff, the Chaos Witch. Her chaos magic can distort reality, alter probabilities, and even influence causality to some extent. For the Web of Life, a system brimming with concepts of fate and possibility, her power might have unexpected and remarkable effects. Furthermore, her mental interference and energy control abilities can provide powerful support in combat. Hmm, I could bring her along.
Jean Grey, the Phoenix Goddess. The nascent Phoenix Force within her is the ultimate manifestation of cosmic life and spiritual energy. It might have a natural restraining effect against vampires from the Heir's family who rely on draining life energy. Furthermore, her telepathic abilities can provide powerful intelligence gathering and early warning capabilities in the complex multiverse environment. Most importantly, she is now completely devoted to Lin Tian, making her one of the most useful and obedient top-tier henchmen. Yes, I must bring her along.
Caitlyn Jon Snow, the Frost Queen. While her icy powers are immense, capable of freezing time and space, they seem somewhat out of place in a Spider-Verse world themed around agility, stealth, and destiny. Furthermore, her relatively calm and rational personality might not be well-suited for the various chaotic dramas Lin Tian might orchestrate next. Hmm, for now, let her stay at the base and continue her research on biological genes; perhaps she can glean something interesting from those Hydra or alien samples.
Pepper Potts, the queen of business. Her abilities lie primarily in management and resource allocation; her combat prowess is virtually nonexistent. Taking her to the Spider-Verse is clearly unsuitable. Her greatest value lies in remaining at the base, controlling Stark Industries, and serving as Lin Tian's chief steward and logistics manager.
Mystra, the Thousand-Faced Fox. Her shapeshifting abilities are simply divine in infiltration, intelligence gathering, and creating chaos. Moreover, her alluring charm and unrestrained behavior might provide unexpected assistance in conquering certain special prey. Hmm, I might consider bringing her along.
Selena Kyle, a nighttime thief. She is also skilled in stealth, theft, and close combat, and has extensive connections in the underworld. However, her abilities seem to overlap somewhat with Mistra's, and she is relatively weaker. For now, let's keep her at the base to assist Mistra in maintaining order in Gotham's underground.
Harley Quinn, the Mad Harley Quinn. Hmm…while she's quite entertaining, her fighting ability is really worrying, and her mental state is extremely unstable. Taking her out would probably only cause trouble. It's better to leave her at the base as a mascot to liven things up.
Diana Prince. These two Wonder Women are powerful and determined, reliable combatants. However, their divine power is too obvious, and they don't seem to have much connection to the laws of the Spider-Verse. Bringing them there might attract unnecessary attention. Besides, there are already enough chaotic scenes between the two of them; bringing them to a universe full of various Gwens… Lin Tian felt his harem might explode prematurely. Hmm, for the sake of harem harmony, it's best to let them stay at the base and develop their relationship for now.
Vision, son of Krypton. His strength is unfathomable, his potential immense, and his loyalty maximal. However, he's also too much of a target, and his abilities don't seem to have any direct connection to the Spider-Verse. Let him remain at the base as a guardian and researcher.
Pietro Maximov, Quicksilver. Incredibly fast, and after Lin Tian's special training and energy boost, his strength is now vastly different. However, his abilities seem rather limited, and he's impulsive and prone to causing trouble. Hmm… I won't take him this time; let him stay at the base with his sister.
Elberd, the Reverse-Flash puppet. While he's incredibly powerful and has a deep understanding of timelines, he's still just a puppet. Furthermore, the negative Speed Force aura he exudes is too malevolent and unstable; taking him out might attract unnecessary trouble. It's best to let him continue as an undercover agent in the CW universe, or keep him at the base as a laborer.
Finally, Lin Tian's gaze fell on the purplish-black figure that had been standing quietly behind him, like the most loyal shadow.
Gwen Stacy.
She was the first queen with spider attributes that Lin Tian had subdued in this multiverse.
She possesses the combined powers of a spider mutation, an alien symbiote, and Lin Tian's Hehuan True Qi. She has immense potential, formidable strength, and absolute loyalty, even bordering on a morbid possessiveness.
More importantly, she is also named Gwen Stacy.
Take her to meet her counterparts in other universes.
The thought of this NTR scenario, full of taboos and excitement, filled Lin Tian with immense excitement.
Without a doubt, she must be taken along, and she must be a key person to be taken care of.
Therefore, Lin Tian finally finalized the entourage for this trip to the Spider Universe—
Wanda Maximoff, the Chaos Witch.
The Phoenix Goddess, Jean Grey.
The Purple Spider Queen, Gwen Stacy.
And, Mystra, the thousand-faced fox spirit.
Four top queens, each possessing stunning beauty, yet exuding distinctly different terrifying auras.
In addition, there's Lin Tian himself, a demon king who is already infinitely close to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
This lineup is enough to sweep through most parallel universes.
Lin Tian believed that even if they faced the legendary heir family that lived by consuming spider totems, they would definitely have the strength to fight back, and might even turn them into their own nourishment.
"Alright, the candidates are confirmed." Lin Tian smiled at the four chosen queens. "Go and prepare."
"Wanda, Jean, you two are responsible for the main energy output and the fight against the laws."
“Gwen, Mistra, you two are in charge of stealth, raids, and handling some of the less-than-seeable troubles.”
“Remember,” Lin Tian’s eyes sharpened, “this Spider Universe is full of unknowns and opportunities, but it may also hide enormous dangers.”
"All actions are subject to my command!"
"Yes, Master!" the four queens replied in unison, their eyes filled with excitement, anticipation, absolute loyalty to Lin Tian, and a hint of barely perceptible competitive spirit.
After explaining everything, Lin Tian restarted the fully upgraded small shuttle.
The target universe has been set—Earth-65.
The space jump engine emitted a deep roar, and a purple-gold stream of light once again enveloped the shuttle, instantly tearing through the spatial barrier and speeding towards the spider web filled with the unknown and allure.
A new journey begins.
What kind of exciting and thrilling hunting feast awaits Lin Tian and his queens this time?
1001⑥710⑤⑤
A wicked and expectant smile appeared on Lin Tian's lips.
The bizarre and fantastical scenes within the spatial passage were fleeting.
The shuttle carrying Lin Tian and his group, like the most precise scalpel, silently cut into the cosmic barrier of Earth-65 and appeared over New York City.
Compared to the previous Earths they had experienced, this New York seemed younger and more vibrant. The skyscrapers were more modern, and the people on the streets were more fashionable and diverse. The air was filled with a free and unrestrained spirit, even carrying a touch of rock and punk.
"Zero, scan the energy fluctuations and network information of this world." Lin Tian sat on the captain's throne, looking down at the city below, which was both familiar and unfamiliar, with great interest.
“Yes, Master,” Zero’s voice rang out. “Scanning in progress… Energy fluctuation analysis: This world contains active superpowered individuals, whose energy sources are mostly genetic mutations or technological accidents. The overall energy level is lower than Earth-199999 and Earth-1-DCEU, but there is an extremely special and active 'totem' energy signal that highly resonates with a certain energy within Gwen Stacy’s body. Network information analysis: The technological level of this world is similar to that of Earth-199999 in the early 21st century, and the network defense level is low… Top privileges have been successfully obtained.”
"Oh? You found our target so quickly?" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, a playful smile playing on his lips. "Looks like the spider totem in this universe is quite active."
His gaze fell on the white figure marked with zero points on the holographic screen, which was rapidly shuttling between the city's skyscrapers.
She was a girl dressed in a highly designed black and white tight-fitting battle suit, with a hooded mask on her face. She was agile and her movements were as elegant as ballet dancers, yet full of power.
It is the guardian of this universe—Gwen Stacy, the Ghost Spider.
Looking at the figure on the screen that looked almost exactly like Gwen beside him, but with a completely different aura, Lin Tian felt an extremely strong desire to collect it.
They look so alike, they're practically identical.
If we could get both of them...
Lin Tian licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with the intense light of a hunter eyeing the perfect prey.
When Gwen beside him saw another version of herself on the screen, her body trembled slightly, and her huge white crescent-shaped eyes shimmered with extremely complex light.
There was curiosity, there was surprise, but more than anything, there was intense jealousy and hostility.
Why should there be another Gwen Stacy in this world?
