Marvel's Spider-Man: Web of Destiny

Chapter 369: Diseased Spider-Man

Peter immediately thought that this should be related to the source of Spider-Man Nine-Four's power.

He had merged with Spider-Man 9-4 before, so he knew some of Spider-Man 9-4's past.

Spider-Man 94's abilities come from a new scientific technology called [New Gene Technology].

The original goal of this technology was to extract benign genes from the target organism and transfer them to humans, thereby optimizing human genes.

If this can be achieved, it will be able to cure all diseases and even allow humans on Earth to take a super step forward.

However, it is clear that this technology has not been a complete success.

As far as Peter knew, in that universe, there were two people who had actively or passively been transformed by this technology.

One is Spider-Man Nine-Four, and the other is Dr. Lizard from that world (at the time when Peter traveled through, Mobis had not yet become a vampire).

But neither of them was successful.

Dr. Lizard is more miserable. After undergoing transformation, he directly became a lizard man, and he is irrational most of the time.

Spider-Man No. 9-Four seems to be quite successful, but in fact, judging from the situation when Peter traveled through time and the current situation of the six-armed Spider-Man No. 9-Four, he is still a failure.

Obviously, this [new genetic technology] will ultimately turn humans into monsters, and the reason is that its cross-species gene transplantation method is too simple and crude.

It did not transfer only a part of the benign genes as expected, but transferred the entire spider gene to the human body.

And in the end, it will just turn him into a spider monster as big as a human!

But Peter also thought of people like them.

Although the way they acquired their spider abilities is different, and from the perspective of each "web", it is more metaphysics than science.

Because they are most likely the ones chosen by the "spider" on the "web".

This is the concept of "humanoid arachnids" proposed by Spider-Man 2099.

But Spider-Man Nine-Four and Six-Armed Spider Nine-Four are also considered “humanoid arachnids”.

According to Peter's understanding, the Scarlet Nine-Four Spider or the Slaughter Nine-Four Spider had also gone through a similar stage.

Since there are so many examples, this is no longer an "isolated case".

Therefore, the possibility of the disease will still appear in these other Spider-Men.

Peter couldn't help but take it seriously.

"From a genetic perspective, the reason he's become like this is because the spider part of the [Spider-Man Gene] in his body accounts for too large a proportion, covering up the human part of him, right?" Peter asked after observing carefully.

Silver-haired Peter looked at him in surprise and said, "I told you that you have a lot of talent in biology. Why do you have to go out and mess around? Can't we just focus on our research?"

Peter rolled his eyes. "Come on, I don't want to stay in the lab all my life. Besides, someone has to run around outside, right? How about you go?"

"Uh," Silver-haired Peter immediately shut up, "You should go."

He had experienced too much in his own world, most importantly, he had lost all his loved ones and friends in battle, and in fact, he was already tired of fighting.

If it weren't for the need to protect his own world from this vortex that could sweep across the multiverse, he would have long since rolled back to his own relatively ordinary little world.

But it's not bad now.

This unique headquarters space of the Holy Spider League is also basically isolated from the outside world. Apart from those Spider-Men who like to chatter all the time, there is no disturbance from the outside world.

For silver-haired Peter, everything here is beautiful.

"It's similar to what you said. After the mutant spider bites us, it will inject mutant genes into us. These mutant genes produce a replacement effect through the breaking and linking of gene chains, and then combine with our original [human genes] to form [Spider-Man genes]."

"In the concept of gene mutation, it can be roughly divided into two situations. One is point mutation, which refers to the change of the heritable structure within a single gene. The other is chromosomal aberration, which is a broad mutation."

"Most of Spider-Man's mutations are actually point mutations, which are at the genetic level, but they don't produce new organs or anything like that."

"Among them, the most outstanding one is the Spider-Man codenamed Bully that you brought back. His point mutation is more serious and is slightly biased towards chromosomal aberration. Because there is a new spider-like organ in his body, that organ can produce spider silk solution for him, so that he can still shoot spider silk without the help of the Spider Silk Launcher."

"And when the mutation progresses further, it's like what he was before, turning into a human with a lot of spider characteristics."

"Finally, if the mutation continues, it will become what it is now, a humanoid spider monster. At this moment, almost all of the [human genes] in his body, more than 80% have been replaced by [spider genes]."

"To give you a simple example, in a normal Spider-Man gene, the ratio of human to spider is 9:1."

"And as the mutation intensified, when it reached 8:2, it became like the bully Spider-Man."

"When it goes one step further, to 7:3, it becomes six arms."

"And if we go one step further and reach 6:4, or even :, his rationality as a human being basically disappears."

Peter scratched his head. To be honest, he could understand it, but he had no idea how to treat the Six-Armed Nine-Four Spider.

So he had no choice but to look to the silver-haired Peter for help.

Silver-haired Peter sighed and shrugged. "There's nothing I can do. Genes are the most mysterious thing in the human body. If it's not handled properly, his gene chain may collapse and he may die completely. In order to change him back without harming his life, I need more research. Give me some time."

"Okay," Peter nodded, understanding.

As for what to do with the world on the other side of the Six-Armed Nine-Four Spider?

Peter thought about it and soon came up with a good idea.

That is to let the Scarlet Nine-Four Spider go over and help temporarily.

Anyway, the world of the Scarlet Nine-Four Spiders has been almost completely destroyed by the Slaughter Nine-Four Spiders.

Peter Parker's Uncle Ben and Aunt May, as well as Mary Jane, had already died before their cloning accident.

Because of the massacre of the Nine-Four Spiders, Spider-Man became a hated figure in that world.

The situation is even more complicated than Spider-Gwen's in her world.

After all, Spider-Gwen only killed one person, but the massacre of the Nine-Four Spiders destroyed several cities!

There is no point in Scarlet Nine-Four Spider going back.
