Chapter 764: The Truth (First Update)
Chapter 764: The Truth (First Update)
"I never thought that Aisha in this universe would become a painter."
After leaving old Has's house, Jerry used Magic to erase all traces of his existence and then wandered alone on the midnight streets of New York.
His sister, who was so otaku-like, had become so quiet and normal in this world. Normally, people with the same essence would not differ much in personality, just like Peter. In almost every universe, Peter may not necessarily be Spider-Man, but he is almost always a good person, with very few exceptions.
"Could it be because of me?"
At this moment, Jerry suddenly began to doubt himself.
If there was any difference in the life trajectories of the two Aishas, it was that this world's Aisha was raised by the gentle Lisa from a young age, while his world's Aisha was raised by him.
Lisa was a music teacher who loved the piano, dancing, and painting, while Jerry had been obsessed with intense physical training and martial arts since he was young.
To avoid Aisha disturbing his training, he would usually place her nearby, turn on the TV, and let her watch cartoons.
Whenever Aisha played role-playing games and transformed into the Ice Queen, he would take some time to pretend to be a demon from hell and play with her.
"Seems like it really is because of me."
Thinking about it, Jerry realized that Aisha's otaku tendencies were not entirely inherited from Has; he had definitely played a significant role in it.
"Indeed, a person's personality is influenced by both innate factors and the environment."
"Ah, bang!"
As Jerry strolled down the deserted streets of midnight New York, a sudden terrified scream echoed from not far away.
He looked up and saw Peter, who was wearing the spider suit and swinging on a web, suddenly unable to shoot webs. He screamed as he fell toward the ground.
"It looks like he's about to lose his spider abilities."
Recalling the plot, Jerry immediately knew what was happening.
If he remembered correctly, tonight was the day when Peter's beloved woman, Mary Jane, was getting engaged to the son of a general, Jen Johnson.
Because being Spider-Man often required him to stop crimes and work multiple part-time jobs to earn money, Peter had very little time to study or go on dates with Mary Jane.
This led to his academic performance plummeting, and the woman he had a crush on, Mary Jane, was about to marry someone else.
Such a blow made him question whether he should continue being Spider-Man or return to a normal life, focus on his studies, and become the physicist he had always aspired to be.
The intense psychological suggestion caused his body to change, and the abilities he gained from the mutation began to disappear.
The mind can influence the body; extreme worry, fear, and anxiety can turn hair white and cause various diseases, while a positive mindset can keep a person healthy and live longer.
For this situation, Jerry did not intervene. He simply smiled and did not ask any further.
He believed that this might be a good thing for Peter.
When he watched the first Spider-Man, he disliked the main female character, Mary Jane, the most, finding her to be a terrible match for a good person like Peter.
In high school, Mary Jane was the girlfriend of the school bully, Flint Thompson, who often bullied Peter.
The saying "like attracts like" may not always be true, but it has some merit. Mary Jane's attraction to a bully who enjoyed tormenting others was a clear indication of her character.
Later, Mary Jane developed a crush on Peter because she sensed that he was the superhero who had saved her, the one everyone admired—Spider-Man.
Before that, she had no particular fondness for Peter.
Mary Jane liked Thompson because he was the school's top dog, the most prominent figure in the entire school. As his girlfriend, she naturally received a lot of attention as well.
Her interest in Peter stemmed from the suspicion that he might be Spider-Man, who was the most admired figure in the city, adored by many.
Her dream was to become a star, and after graduating from high school, she dropped out to work and find ways to enter the entertainment industry. Being a star was the easiest way to gain attention.
Once she became a famous star, she felt she deserved someone better. If she truly liked Peter, she wouldn't have dated the wealthy and powerful James at the same time.
Playing a double game with Peter while dating James, even living with him, truly made her a manipulative person.
Later, after being kidnapped by Doc Ock and rescued by Peter again, she confirmed that Peter was indeed Spider-Man. She fled her wedding and officially began a relationship with Peter.
She accepted his proposal but was absent on the wedding day, further proving her character.
However, three years after they officially got together, just before their wedding, she started an affair with Peter's best friend, Harry, because Peter, as Spider-Man, often had to save people and didn't have much time for her.
Peter, on the other hand, had liked Mary Jane since high school and never changed his feelings.
So Jerry decided not to interfere. Since Otto wouldn't kidnap Mary Jane as Doc Ock anymore, she wouldn't fall in love with Peter and would smoothly marry James.
After living as a regular person for a while, Peter, with his character, would inevitably return to being Spider-Man to save people.
He would also meet Gwen, a girl who had admired his talent since college and was a top fan of Spider-Man. Gwen was even more beautiful than Mary Jane and was the daughter of the New York Police Chief.
"Right, there's one more thing I need to do!"
Jerry's figure flashed, and he instantly appeared behind Peter, who was struggling to get up from the ground. He reached out and extracted a strand of white silk from Peter's mind, then disappeared again.
When he reappeared, he was in the private mansion of the Osborn family.
Inside the mansion, Harry sat on the edge of the bed, sipping red wine, his eyes filled with regret.
At the astronomy party, he had slapped his best friend Peter.
First, because Peter knew that Spider-Man had killed his father but refused to reveal Spider-Man's true identity to him. Second, because the woman he had always liked had accepted someone else's proposal.
If it had been Peter proposing to Mary Jane, he could have accepted it, because he had initially stepped aside when he sensed Peter's feelings for Mary Jane, and she eventually developed a crush on Peter.
Knowing the current outcome, he shouldn't have stepped aside back then.
But Peter was his best friend, like a brother. Slapping him in public and embarrassing him made him deeply regretful.
As he was considering whether to call Peter and apologize, a strand of white silk suddenly entered his mind through his temple.
Then, vivid scenes flashed before his eyes like a movie.
They were Peter's memories from the moment he was bitten by the spider to the present.
