“Why did you send over a drone instead of coming by yourself like usual?” I asked curiously since this way of contacting was quite unique.

“Unfortunately, I am quite busy these days. Moreover, it is not that easy for me to visit due to various reasons. As such, I had to manage with a drone.” Spider Supreme explained.

“Anyways, let's return to the topic due to which I had to send this drone. I know where is Gwen Stacy.”

“Where is she? Is she safe? Can you bring her back?” Captain Stacy asked, releasing a barrage of questions immediately.

“Calm down, Captain Stacy. I am explaining.” Spider Supreme said, consoling Captain Stacy as he could feel what was his mental state.

“Gwen is completely safe. As for where she is, she is in one of the near infinite parallel dimensions in the multiverse. Why don't you see for yourself?” Spider Supreme explained Gwen's situation as he showed us a picture through the projector.

In the picture, Gwen in her Spider Woman suit could be seen looking at a news bulletin with a shocking title.

“Peter Parker aka Spider Man is dead! Who will save this city now?”

The news bulletin showed a picture of that world’s Peter Parker who looked quite similar to my previous appearance although not exact. Moreover, he even had blonde hair instead of brown like mine used to be.

I had already heard from Spider Supreme last time that a lot of Peter Parkers in the Multiverse were Spider Men but this was the first time I was being the actual evidence before my eyes. Moreover, this Peter Parker was already dead.

“A world like this actually exists.” Aunt May muttered as she looked at the picture. Upon looking closely, I could see that her eyes had moistened.

Even though I was right before her eyes, it was obvious that she got a little emotional upon seeing the news of Peter Parker's death even if he was from another world.

“At least she is safe. But how had Gwen been kidnapped to a parallel dimension without anyone getting even a single clue about it? Who could have done it? What does he want?” Captain Stacy asked, concerned about the kidnapper’s motives like all of us were.

“Ha ha ha ha!! I am sorry, Captain Stacy but your direction of thought is completely wrong. What happened with Gwen was not a kidnapping but an invitation.” Spider Supreme explained with a chuckle, shocking all of us.

“An invitation? How can it be called an invitation when Gwen had been suddenly flung across dimensions clearly without her permission?” Ancient One asked, clearly curious about this unique phenomenon.

“This kind of event is called a Multiversal Convergence. Although its nature is similar to that of kidnapping, it is called an invitation because this event only happens when the multiverse itself calls upon Spider Totems to resolve a matter which effects several dimensions and can even cause instability throughout the entire multiverse.” Spider Supreme explained patiently.

“Can only Spider Totems be called upon by this phenomenon? Is it possible for someone other than a Spider Totem to participate?” I inquired.

“A Multiversal Convergence generally only calls upon Spider Totems as they are much more connected to the Multiverse and it is much easier for them to travel through it. However, there have been some rare cases where other superhumans have called upon. But in most of these cases, the other superhumans were somehow connected to the Spider Totem. It didn't matter if their relationship with the Spider Totem was positive or negative.

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

You don't need to worry too much though. Spider Convergence can be said to be a rather common phenomenon in the multiverse. In fact, every Spider Totem in the entire multiverse goes through it at least once in his entire lifetime. Even I went through it a few times before I started travelling the multiverse myself.”

Spider Supreme showed us a bunch of pictures to prove his words. One picture showed him with tens of Spider Men facing something, the only thing common in the Spider Totems being their web themed suit.

There was another picture where Spider Supreme was standing together with two other Spider Men, one wearing a Spider Man suit with a hoodie and the other one wearing the UK flag on his Spider Man suit.

He showed us a few more pictures but I noticed one thing after seeing them. There were a lot of Spider Men wearing the red and blue suit.

Were they all Peter Parker? After all, the Peter Parker of the dimension Gwen had fallen into wore the same suit.

If it was true, then Spider Supreme was truly not lying when he said that over 80% of the Spider Totems were Peter Parker or a variation of him.

“Excuse me! May I ask you a question, Spider Supreme?” Aunt May suddenly asked politely.

“Of course, Mrs. Parker. You don't even need to ask.” Spider Supreme replied.

“Are you perhaps also Peter Parker?” Aunt May asked. She had connected the dots quite quickly, I would say.

After all, Spider Supreme's suit was rather similar to the suit worn by the Peter Parker of the dimension Gwen had fallen into. Moreover, he had not changed his voice at all.

“Yes, I am.” Spider Supreme said with a sigh as he removed his mask.

“Then, why did you not reveal it? Even if I am not your Aunt May, you don't need to speak so formally.” Aunt May said, admonishing Spider Supreme for being so distant.

“It is a necessity, Aunt May. I have been to thousands of parallel dimensions where all the people I knew were different no matter however slightly. As such, it is a necessity for me to be distant with them otherwise it would be impossible for me to preserve my original impressions of them.” Spider Supreme revealed his plight.

“Just how old are you?” Aunt May asked upon realising how aged Spider Supreme sounded.

“Moreover than 200 years old.” Spider Supreme answered truthfully.

“Oh! Then, it must be a sad life. Do you still have any of your loved ones still with you?” Aunt May asked, worried about Spider Supreme.

“Of course, he has. He just married a few months ago.” I answered in Spider Supreme's stead so that he couldn't lie.

“Really! Can you show me?” Aunt May asked excitedly upon hearing my words.

“How can I not show it when it is you who is asking, May?” Spider Supreme said with a slight smile as he gladly showed her the wedding pictures of him and Morgan.

“This is Morgan.” Spider Supreme said in a rather joyful tone, perhaps happy to share the pictures with Aunt May even if she was not his own world’s Aunt May.

“Both of you look perfect together. She reminds me of Emma though.” Aunt May said as she suddenly looked at me.

Damn it! I already knew from her look what was she thinking. She was playing matchmaker again like she used to with MJ when we were children.

“May, you can talk with him later. Spider Supreme, can you tell me when she will be back?” Although Captain Stacy was happy to learn that Gwen was safe, he was still worried for her.

“It will probably take one to two weeks. It is just some idiot trying to access parallel dimensions. Not something too dangerous.” Spider Supreme answered.

“Is dimensional travel that much dangerous that a Multiversal Convergence must happen to stop it?” Ancient One questioned seriously.

“It is not dimensional travel itself that is difficult. Whether by science or magic, it can be achieved. But what is dangerous is where it will connect.

Ancient One, you know yourself how complex the dimensional structure of a world is. A dimensional portal can connect to literally anywhere and there is no guarantee what kind of horrors it could unleash.

This is especially so for the world in which Gwen has fallen into, where dimension travel to parallel dimensions is being directly attempted. Moreover, the portal is too unstable.

Its explosion can not only destroy the whole city but cause irreparable damage to that world’s dimensional structure. It would also lead to instability across dimensions. That is why, a Multiversal Convergence has taken place.”

“Say, can you send me there so that I can help Gwen?” I asked since Spider Supreme was capable of dimension travel.

“Don't even think about it.” Spider Supreme refused harshly.

“You are one of my trump cards. I can't send you there for such an easy task which Spider Totems can easily handle.” Spider Supreme explained the reason.

“However, there is no need to worry. I will continuously observe that world and even send one of my men there.” Spider Supreme revealed his plan, reassuring us.

“I guess we can only wait.” Captain Stacy said with a sigh as he realised that we could do nothing but trust in Spider Supreme's words.
