Chapter 94 Return to New York
"Chief Fury originally wanted me to tell you that nothing would happen if you left New York for two days," Coulson said, glancing at Peter who was preparing to jump from the Airbus. "But unfortunately, on the first day you were gone, New York's violent crime rate rose by 2%, and on the second day, once they were sure you weren't there, it rose by another 7%."
"Remember to tell Fury, 'Those who don't listen to the spider will regret it.'" Peter said, preparing to jump, but at the same time, he subtly reminded Coulson, "When I passed by your Agent Ward, my spider-sense stung a little. Does he have a problem with me?"
"I believe you have no personal grudges." Coulson seemed to understand something as he opened the door, and Peter cheered as he plummeted from the sky. The city once again welcomed its friendly neighbor, and this time, the neighbor was fully revived and even more outstanding.
Coulson watched Peter jump, then looked at Cindy who was walking over, and asked the agent he had trained, "What kind of person do you think he is?"
"Kind."
Coulson smiled at Cindy. Cindy was always a woman of few words, but it was rare for her to be so quiet yet so resolute. He couldn't help but ask, "Is that all?"
"Perhaps this word is enough."
Coulson watched Cindy jump down and couldn't help but laugh. A few minutes later, the Airbus landed in the plaza of Xavier's Academy of Geniuses. The X-Men looked at the dilapidated academy with mixed feelings, and Logan couldn't help but remark, "We need to clean this up properly."
"It does need a thorough cleaning." A voice rang out, and Angel Warren III Worthington, dressed in a sharp suit, walked over. "The Worthington Group will be responsible for the academy's renovation, and it will be ready for use as soon as the teachers and students arrive."
"Aren't you planning to come back?"
"No, Bob." Angel shook his head, then looked at Emma. He had a contract to sign with her, but there was no rush. He also wouldn't return to the X-Men, because he could play a greater role at Worthington Corporation. There, he could use his resources to support the X-Men, the Academy, and other mutants.
However, he came here for something else.
"How is the professor?"
Cyclops and Beast exchanged a glance, then focused their attention on Emma.
A few minutes later, in the basement of Xavier's School of Geniuses, Cyclops led the X-Men into a room. In the center of the room, inside a life support device, lay an elderly man in his seventies, his life force barely registering.
"I thought... Charles Xavier was dead." Emma fully expressed her surprise, and it was Beast who responded to all of this.
"Indeed, the professor is dead. The life support device we created can only ensure that his body doesn't decompose, that his bodily fluids flow normally, and that his heart continues to function. We once thought the professor would wake up, but..."
As the world's most powerful telepath, if his body hadn't lost its vitality, his consciousness should have been able to return. But now, the professor was still lying here, motionless, and this was the reality they had to accept.
The X-Men are all gone.

"Spider-Man is back."
Looking at the footage captured by the octopus robot, Otto Octavia looked at McDonald Gagan. He had not only survived, but was thriving. The bullet Gagan himself had fired had pierced his spine, causing permanent paralysis of his lower body, but fortunately, among the high-tech items stolen in the horror movie was a prototype of an exoskeleton spinal cord connector, allowing Gagan to walk normally again.
Then, based on her research in neural contact, Octavia made certain modifications to Gagan's exoskeleton spinal nerve connector. At this moment, a metal tail appeared behind the shirtless private detective as he wiped the sweat from his face, ending another day of training.
"It doesn't matter if he comes back. I still need to train hard and master the power I've gained."
As Gagan spoke, he punched the sandbag. Whether it was luck or fate, his genome was an uncanny match for the genetically modified scorpion Mysterio had stolen. Although Otto wasn't an expert in genetic programming, he still managed to complete the surgery thanks to the genetic compatibility between Gagan and the scorpion, and finally, he created the first enemy capable of rivaling Spider-Man.
Gagan punched a specially made sandbag, and the data was transmitted back to the computer in real time. His strength exceeded 30 tons, and his speed and agility reached the same level as Spider-Man. If it were just dealing with one Spider-Man, he could definitely take him down, but unfortunately, there are two Spider-Men now, so other issues need to be considered.
After all, in Otto's calculations, if Gagan had to face two Spider-Men, his chances of winning would drop significantly.
On Otto's computer, a green titanium alloy suit of armor has been designed and is ready to be manufactured. The terrifying armor has provided him with a lot of help; Mysterio helped him test Spider-Man's abilities, while Scorpion from Osborn Technologies brought the final piece of the puzzle to solve Spider-Man's problem.
"It might take several more days for your training to finish, Mr. Gagan," Otto said unhurriedly, watching Gagan hook up a water glass with his tail. Gagan was already very skilled at using the mechanical tail. This special tail was a special gift Otto had given to Spider-Man.
"And we all know that Kim didn't want to waste time. Yes, he made me able to stand up and take revenge on Spider-Man, both Spider-Men together."
As he spoke, Gagan put on his clothes, covering his tail with a coat: "But fortunately, finding and getting revenge on them doesn't necessarily have to be through fighting. Although I've never thought the chameleon's idea was right, but—"
There are indeed other ways to defeat and deal with Spider-Man.
Don't forget, McDonald Gagan is a detective, one of New York's best private investigators. Of course, he's also New York's most notorious and ruthless detective.
What he has to do is use his detective skills and knowledge to find out the true identities of the Spider-Men, and then, when their families become the targets of a threat.
Even the most powerful enemy will become powerless to fight back.
Unfortunately, the zombie universe will have to wait a while longer. After all, Reed needs more time to develop the multiverse shuttle, since right now he can only communicate across the multiverse.
