As we entered the basement of the New York Sanctum, we could see Dr. Strange looking at the man I had sent to him who was now locked in a glass prison similar to the ones in which the other interdimensional intruders had been sealed.

Even though we could only see Dr. Strange's back at the moment, it was easy to sense that he was furious.

“Dr. Strange—”

“Give me a reason why I shouldn't press the button and reverse the ritual right now, Peter?” Dr. Strange asked furiously, interrupting Peter's words.

Peter dropped his head in shame, realising that he was at the fault this time. He knew that the situation would get more risky as time went by but he still insisted on helping the interdimensional intruders upon finding that they would die the moment they returned to their own world.

And the situation had worsened now. This time, there were a total of three interdimensional intruders, including two Spider-Men!

“What’s the matter? Why are you angry at Peter?” Peter 3 asked, concerned about Peter 1.

“The matter is that all of you are here because of Peter.” Dr. Strange said as he started explaining how all of us had arrived in this world because of a mistake in a ritual which Dr. Strange and Peter were performing, on Peter's part.

That Dr. Strange had managed to contain the ritual and could even reverse it but Peter wanted to save the interdimensional intruders who would die the moment they returned to their world.

“As such, the situation has gotten worse, leading to both of you Spider-Men and the Rhino arriving in this world. Moreover, this is not the end of how worse the situation has become.” Dr. Strange said, scaring all of us.

“What happened now, Dr. Strange?” I asked hesitantly.

“You see this guy. The one who called himself the Rhino.” Dr. Strange pointed towards the glass prison containing the man who was currently unconscious.

“He didn't know that Peter Parker was Spider-Man.” Dr. Strange revealed the shocking fact, scaring all of us about the consequences it could lead to.

“But how can it be possible? You had said that only those who knew that Peter Parker is Spider-Man can arrive in this world.” Peter 1 aka the Peter of this world shouted, clearly having difficulty believing that someone who didn't meet the requirements had arrived in this world.

“I think I might have an idea why this happened.” Peter 2 aka the younger Peter suddenly said, drawing our attention.

“When I was sucked into this world, I was battling Rhino and I was on its back when a portal suddenly appeared and sucked me into this world. I believe that along with me, the Rhino was also sucked in.”

“So, it was just an accident.” Peter said, releasing a sigh of relief as he realised that the situation was not that serious.

“But that doesn't mean that the situation has not become worser. This time, it was Rhino. What if the next time, there is someone as powerful as Thanos? What will we do then?” Dr. Strange asked Peter who clearly didn't have any answer to his question.

“He is not wrong, Peter. Moreover, it is not like there are not any evil Peter Parker in the entire multiverse. Just a few weeks ago, the Spider-Woman of my world, Gwen Stacy had a multiversal encounter where she was also sucked into another world. She had met an evil Spider-Man there who had almost taken her life.” I said, supporting Dr. Strange while also giving the example of my Gwen who had encountered Pestilence.

“Gwen! Gwen is Spider-Woman in your world!” Peter 2 said, recognising the name Gwen Stacy.

“You know her?” I asked.

“She was my girlfriend. I…. I couldn't save her.” Peter 2 answered, revealing the tragic end of his world’s Gwen.

“My condolences!” I said, feeling grief for the Gwen of Peter 2’s world.

“Anyways, I was saying that when had made a Peter Parker who called himself Pestilence. Not only did he have a total of eight limbs but he was also posessed by a black goo monster which enhanced his powers.

He had arrived with a group of the black goo monsters with him which he wanted to use to possess Gwen and the other Spider-Men so as to invade their worlds. I would advise you all to immediately kill such a monster, should you ever find one in your world.”

“A black goo monster! Are you talking about a symbiote?” Peter 3 asked, clearly recognising the symbiote.

“Have you ever met one?” I asked since his words revealed that he was familiar with a symbiote.

“Indeed. It had possessed me and I was almost brainwashed by it. Fortunately, I managed to break free but it had been truly hard to kill it.” Peter 3 shared his experience.

“You were lucky. From what I know, Pestilence's world had been conquered by an army of symbiotes.” I said, warning all of the Spider-Men once again.

“How can the symbiotes be that strong? I never felt such potential within the symbiote while it possessed me.” Peter 3 asked with a shocked expression, having difficulty believing that the symbiote who had possessed him had such power.

“This is what I heard from Gwen. I have never encountered a symbiote myself.” I explained that this was the extent of what I knew.

“See, Peter. This is what I am talking about. The more we delay, the greater the risks. Are you ready to endanger our world for only a few people?” Dr. Strange asked, reminding Peter what was at risk here.

“But our work is progressing well. Dr. Octavious has already been cured and we have found what to do to heal Mr. Osborn. Afterwards, only Max is left.” Peter argued.

“Dr. Octavious, Mr. Osborn? Are you talking about Dr. Otto Octavious and Norman Osborn?” Peter 3 suddenly asked.

“Yeah! They are the ones. Do you know them?” I asked as I showed him their pictures.

“They are clearly from my world. I still regret that they died at my hands.” Peter 3 said as he recognised both of them.

“And Max is from my world.” Peter 2 said as he looked at an unconscious Max Dillon aka Electro.

“But how long will this research take? The research could go on for days or even weeks. We don't have that much time.” Dr. Strange said, not willing to risk his world.

“Peter, I really like you, especially because of your kindheartedness. But that kindheartedness is now and obstacle for you which is not letting you grow. It was because of this kindheartedness that you gave Tony's last gift to Mysterio.”

Dr. Strange knew what Peter was feeling but he was not going to risk this world just because of his stupidity.

“But it will not take that much time. I knew Mr. Osborn. With my help, we can create a cure for him much faster.” Peter 3 argued, wanting to help.

“And I can help cure Max.” Peter 2 said in support.

“How about a compromise?” I said, realising that the argument was going nowhere.

“A compromise?” Dr. Strange said in surprise.

“Indeed, a compromise. Just give us a single day. I am confident that we can cure everyone in a single day or at least do enough that they will not die upon their return.” I said, asking for a compromise.

“Alright! I will do as you say, Albion. You all have a single day.” Dr. Strange said after mulling over my words for a few minutes, accepting my proposal in the end.

“Thank you!” Peter said to Dr. Strange, his voice full of gratefulness.

“But don't forget that you only have a single day. Whether you have cured everyone or not, I am pressing the button tomorrow evening. And if I feel that an extremely dangerous person has entered this world, I would not hesitate to press the button.” Dr. Strange gave his final ultimatum.
