Chapter 46: The Showdown Begins
**Earth-928, Spider Society**
Peter, Gwen-66, and Miles found themselves surrounded by Spider-People, the tension in the room is crackling like static electricity.
Every second brought more of the Spider people into the room with their suits gleaming under the dim lights. Their numbers were overwhelming, but Peter stood unfazed with a confident smirk playing on his lips.
"Peter, there are currently 219 Spider-People surrounding you. They had different weapons and some sound generators are primed. It looks like they didn't know you got rid of your weakness." Raphael's voice echoed in Peter's mind.
Peter's smirk didn't waver. 'Only 219? That's a bit underwhelming. I expected a full house.'
Gwen-66 who is still standing close to Peter, broke the hug and stepped forward. Her mask materialized over her face as her body tensed as she got ready for battle. Her determination was clear—she'd fight every single one of them if it meant protecting Peter.
Peter glanced at her with loving smile, "You're the best girlfriend, Gwen," he said quietly before shifting his gaze to Miles.
Miles is visibly anxious and glanced over at Gwen-65 who stood silently beside Jessica. Gwen-65's head was lowered and her shoulders are heavy with guilt, while Jessica's stance was tense. She too was ready to join the fight if necessary.
Peter's eyes then locked onto Miguel who had silently activated his mask.
With a thought, Peter's black Spider-Man suit shimmered, but in an instant, it transformed into the sleek, menacing Malvare suit, its dark edges radiating an ominous glow.
Around the room, devices began to hum to life. Sound generators whirred and flamethrowers clicked as they warmed up. The Spider Society had anticipated Peter's abilities, and they were ready to unleash sound-based and fire-based incendiary attacks from all directions.
Miles though nervous placed his mask on and shifted into a defensive stance. His mind raced with escape scenarios, but he couldn't deny the feeling of being cornered.
Peter surveyed the scene, "Just remember, Miguel," he said before turning to Miguel, "you're the one who started this." with that his mask also materialized.
Gwen-65's head shot up as she tried to speak, to plead for calm, but the chaos was already in motion.
Peter made the first move, with a flick of his wrist, he began casting protection spells on Gwen-66 and Miles. A golden glow enveloped their bodies, forming a shield like structure and some runes on thier bodies that shimmered with mystic energy. Miguel and the surrounding Spider-People hesitated and become curious about the thing Peter done.
"What the hell is that?" one of them muttered.
Miguel's voice cut through the murmurs. "It looks like magic. Stay on guard." several of them knew about Magic as their world has Dr.Strange and also fought several magic beings. Miguel thinks Peter got it by messing in Zombie verse. 'It seems he learned new tricks.' He then signalled them to initiate the attack.
Without warning, the sound generators fired up, unleashing deafening waves aimed at Peter. Simultaneously, flamethrowers roared to life, their scorching heat radiating outward.
Peter raised his hand which is now cracking crazy with electricity, then closed his fist and a massive EMP pulse erupted from his body, sending a shockwave that disabled and fried every electronic device in the room. Sparks flew as the sound generators and flamethrowers powered down, some machines even blasted due to overload, leaving everyone present in the room stunned.
The room now lay in ruins, the aftermath of Peter's EMP blast followed by subsequent chaos. Smoke billowed from destroyed equipment, and Spider-People scrambled to regroup.
Miguel who is also thrown back few feet, got back on his feet. He also noticed he can't contact Layla and most of their equipment is offline now.
He gritted his teeth, this isn't supposed to happen. He kept an eye on Peter and calculated his powers. But this is entirely different from what he showed until now. Hell, he didn't even knew a Spider person can generate that much of electricity and turn it into an EMP blast. Many of the Spider people had Bio-elctricity, but not at this level.
Previously Peter can influence signals but they can contact Layla but now their entire communication is down. It looks like they underestimated him.
Everyone present also had same thoughts, they didn't knew a version of them can generate this much power using Bio-elctricity.
Gwen-65 and Jessica were also thrown back, now slowly got on thier feet.
The force of the EMP sent all of the Spider-People stumbling backward, but Gwen-66 and Miles remained steady. The mystic shields on their bodies absorbed the blast, the golden glow flickering momentarily before stabilizing.
Miles looked down at his hands which are still radiated faint traces of the spell. "Whoa... What is this?" he asked with his voice tinged in awe.
Gwen-66 flexed her fingers, "This... this is incredible," she said while looking around and finally glancing at Peter.
Peter nodded at them, "That's a protection spell. It'll keep you safe—for now. But don't get too comfortable. The real fight is about to start."
Miguel's eyes burned with fury as he steadied himself. "You think you can just waltz in here, disrupt everything, and walk away unscathed?!" he growled and stepped forward. "This ends here, Parker."
The Spider-People regrouped, Gwen-66 and Miles stood beside Peter, their confidence bolstered by the protection spells but still aware of the overwhelming odds.
Peter's smirk returned as he raised his hands which are crackling with electricity. "Let's see if your rules hold up against a little chaos."
Peter then asked Raphael, 'Alright, now let's try something new. Disrupt their Spider-Sense. Make me the center of a null zone and expand the radius to cover the entire city.'
Raphael acknowledged. "Deploying telepathic dampeners. Spider-Sense nullification initiated."
An invisible wave emanated from Peter, and within moments, the surrounding Spider-People felt their Spider-Sense vanish. The sudden loss of their most trusted ability left them disoriented and cautious with their reflexes dulled.
Miguel immediately noticed the disruption. "What the—? Parker, what did you do?"
Peter's grin widened. "Just leveled the playing field. Let's see how you all do without your cheat code."
This is only possible because Peter had Raphael and by combining and using skills like telepathy and Spider-sence, but it was only possible because of his high mental strength otherwise it wasn't possible.
"Alright, Raphael, let's give the Malvare suit its first real test run. Spider powers only—let's see how far I can push this tech." He then placed his hands forward which opened several missile launchers from his arms and shoulders and then launched a barrage of missiles and grenades from his Malvare suit, further destabilizing the area.
Then tiny drones were deployed from compartments on Peter's shoulders, scanning the battlefield and began firing at others from their miniature guns.
The explosions and gun fire reverberated through the building, forcing Spider-People to dive for cover. With their main Spider-sense blocked many were wounded, but they all are trained and had good insticts so most of them dodged them.
Peter, with a calculated leap, swung out of the shattered hole in the wall and into the open space of the Spider Society headquarters. The destruction left behind was significant, but Peter had no intention of staying to admire his handiwork.
As Peter swung away, a massive group of Spider-People began to chase, led by Miguel, whose fury was evident in every move.
"You're not getting away that easily, Parker!" Miguel yelled with his voice echoing through the structure.
Miles and Gwen-66 who are left standing amidst the chaos exchanged a glance.
"We can't let them take him down," Gwen-66 said with determination burning in her eyes.
"Let's move," Miles replied, but looked at Gwen-65 for a moment before firing a web and taking off after the pursuing Spider-People. Gwen-66 followed close behind.
Gwen-65 looked dejected but Jessica placed a hand on her shoulder. She looked at Jessica who nodded and also followed them all. Gwen-65 closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them, put on her mask and followed Jessica.

The hallways of the Spider Society turned into a battlefield as Spider-People began to target Gwen-66 and Miles, after seeing them following in the back.
They forgot about them momentarily after seeing Peter's power.
Gwen-66 was the first to engage. A Spider-Man lunged at her with his web aimed at her legs to immobilize her. Gwen-66 anticipated the move, flipping mid-air and twisting gracefully to avoid the attack. As she landed on a side wall, she delivered a powerful punch to his chest, sending him flying into a wall.
She looked at her fist for a moment and thinks to herself that she need to hold back some strength otherwise she'll kill them accidentally.
Another Spider-Woman tried to blindside her, but Gwen-66's superior strength and reflexes kicked in. She grabbed the incoming fist, twisted it, and delivered a swift knee strike to the attacker's stomach. That was enough to knock her out cold.
Soon, many guys began to go for Gwen-66 but with her combat training in illusion room and new physical strength, One or two blows from her were enough to incapacitate most of her opponents.
Miles, meanwhile, relied on his agility and Spider-sence. Peter didn't blocked the sences of Gwen-66 and Miles.
A group of Spider-People surrounded him, trying to overwhelm him with web attacks. Miles activated his camouflage ability, disappearing from sight. The attackers hesitated, scanning the area for him, it is going to take sometime as their tech to detect invisible enemies was fried before but before they could react, Miles reappeared behind one of them and delivered a punch which send him flying.
"You're doing great, Miles," Peter called out in Miles mind, "Keep your focus, you should try to use your Bio-elctricity."
Miles who is initially shocked to hear Peter's voice in his head, but soon the knowledge about how to use Bio-elctricity and some new ideas on how to use them got on his head.
"Now, show them your best, Kid." Peter's voice got cut but Miles smiled as he thanked Peter and soon placed his hand on a Spider-Man who landed beside him and touched him.
The Spider-Man yelped as the electric shock coursed through his body, rendering him unconscious.
"You've got to be faster than that!" Miles quipped as he swung upward to avoid another incoming attack.
The Spider-People began to go after them and coordinating their efforts to take down Gwen-66 and Miles. They worked in pairs and groups, trying to exploit openings in their defenses.
Two Spider-Men rushed Gwen-66 simultaneously. One aimed low, trying to sweep her legs, while the other came at her from above. Gwen-66 didn't panic. She jumped just as the low sweep came in, flipping over the attack. Mid-air, she spun and caught the second attacker with a kick to the face, sending him spiraling downward.
As she wa about to land, the first attacker leaped closer and tried to grab her from behind. Gwen-66 grabbed his arm and twisted it with bone-cracking force, and slammed him into the ground.
Miles found himself in a similarly tight spot, with three Spider-People converging on him. One shot webs at his arms, another at his legs, while the third prepared to deliver a flying kick.
"Alright, time to get creative," Miles muttered.
He charged his electrical energy, sending a wave of electricity through the webs binding him, breaking free. Then, he leaped into the air, dodging the flying kick, and retaliated with a venom blast aimed at all three attackers. The electrical surge hit them like a shockwave, sending them sprawling to the floor.
As the fight continued, Gwen-66 and Miles found themselves back-to-back, surrounded by even more Spider-People.
"Got a plan?" Miles asked while glancing over his shoulder at Gwen-66.
"Keep hitting them until they stop coming," Gwen-66 replied with a smirk.
The two launched into action. Gwen-66 focused on using her superior strength, delivering powerful strikes that incapacitated her opponents quickly. She lifted one Spider-Man over her head and hurled him into a group, scattering them like bowling pins.
Miles used his agility to outmaneuver his attackers, swinging between pillars and walls to keep them off balance. When they got too close, he'd unleash his venom blasts or use his camouflage to disappear and reappear in unexpected places.
At one point, a particularly large Spider-Man—towering over both Gwen-66 and Miles—charged at them. Gwen-66 met him head-on, ducking under his massive fists and delivering an uppercut that staggered him, later she kicked his stomach which sends him flying.
Miles seized the opportunity, delivering a venom-infused punch to the torso of other guy, bringing him down.
Despite their best efforts, the sheer number of Spider-People began to overwhelm Gwen-66 and Miles. For every opponent they took down, two more seemed to take their place.
Gwen-66 looked at the situation, "We can't keep this up forever," she said.
Miles nodded as his own exhaustion beginning to show. "We just need to think of a plan."
As if on cue, a massive explosion shook the structure. The Spider-People paused momentarily, glancing toward the source of the blast.
"Looks like Peter's not done yet," Gwen-66 said with a grin.
Taking advantage of the distraction, she and Miles launched themselves into the air, swinging away to regroup and figure out their next move.
