Crack, crack, crack...
A series of strange sounds echoed.
Immediately after, the surrounding space fractured inch by inch.
Spider-Man 2099, along with his numerous Spider-Men subordinates who were still mid-air attempting to dodge, quickly realized that the ground beneath them had vanished!
But just a moment ago, the ground had clearly been there!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With crisp sounds ringing out, they crashed one after another into a strange, alternate space.
Spell: [Mirror Dimension]
The Mirror Dimension is essentially a "parallel dimension" that mimics Earth, containing an identical environment to the real world.
However, it is not to be confused with parallel universes. As its name suggests, it is a "mirror space." From a visual perspective, it can shatter, flip, overlap, and more—just like a mirror.
Mages typically use the Mirror Dimension as a training ground for novice magic practitioners with insufficient learning time, since no matter how magic is used within it, the surrounding environment remains largely unaffected.
—At least, novice practitioners are incapable of causing significant damage.
Additionally, the Mirror Dimension can be freely reshaped, controlled, and even reset with a single command.
According to the memory fragments left by the Soul Stone shard, Doctor Strange of the Extraordinary Universe-2 (Earth-120703B) first learned the large-scale spell [Mirror Dimension] when he arrived at Kamar-Taj for magical training.
The same holds true in the 616 Movie Universe.
After mastering the spell, Doctor Strange used the Mirror Dimension in his battles against Kaecilius and Thanos.
As an observer, Peter knew that the [Mirror Dimension] was far more complex than it appeared.
It could serve not only as a "field spell" to trap enemies but also as an offensive and defensive magic combined—Doctor Strange had used it to deflect Thanos' attacks in the Avengers.
Peter had coveted this skill for a long time, so after fully mastering the [Rings of Raggadorr] and [Energy Whip], the first spell he chose to learn was the [Mirror Dimension].
The basics of this spell were relatively simple, not much harder than the [Rings of Raggadorr].
However, just as it took effort to transform the [Orange Rings of Raggadorr] into the [Crimson Bands of Raggadorr], transforming the Mirror Dimension into one's own battlefield and leveraging its home-field advantage required considerable dedication.
The folding, shattering, and spatial phase shifts of the mirror could disorient those trapped within.
Even incorporating it into offensive techniques—
Every aspect of the spell was a complex art.
Fortunately, Peter's soul strength was powerful, and with long hours of practice, he managed to grasp the skill in less than two months.
His modifications to the Quantum Space were also partially inspired by the [Mirror Dimension].
It was the enlightenment from the [Mirror Dimension] that enabled Peter to harness quantum energy, splitting Quantum Space into two layers—"wild" and "domesticated"—creating a truly independent space that could serve as a long-term residence.
A space that existed outside all parallel universes!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Towering mountain peaks rose from the ground, with a flat plain in the middle.
At this moment, Spider-Man 2099 and numerous members of the Spider Society stood on the flat land, while on the mountain peaks surrounding them, countless identical figures stood.
All of them were Peter!
Spell: [Ikonn's Illusions]!
This spell could produce countless clones, each possessing strength nearly equal to the original.
The spells mastered by the main body can also be mastered by the clones!
The skills possessed by the main body can also be possessed by the clones!
It evokes a strong sense of déjà vu, reminiscent of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, plucking a single hair to create countless copies.
However, Peter's proficiency with this technique is not yet very high. At most, he can only create ten clones.
If he tries to create more, it becomes difficult to maintain them, causing a significant drop in both their strength and duration.
Moreover, this technique consumes a great deal of soul power, and Peter can currently sustain it for only a few minutes.
Once the time limit is exceeded, his main body's combat ability will be weakened, making it detrimental to prolonged battles.
Still, ten clones plus the main body are more than enough for the current situation.
Swish, swish, swish!
One after another, Energy Whips lashed out from the hands of each clone, striking toward the flat ground below the mountain.
The Spider-Men had no choice but to dodge.
However, they soon realized that the surrounding mountain peaks were continuously closing in, steadily compressing their movement space.
On top of that, they couldn't trigger their Spider-Senses with each other, leaving them at a loss since they were so used to fighting alone.
Bang! Bang!
One by one, Spider-Men crashed into each other by accident, only to be struck by the glowing orange energy whips, knocking them to the ground.
And the moment a Spider-Man fell, a glowing ring would appear beneath them, instantly swallowing them up.
As for those who were transported away, they would find themselves trapped in a nearby Mirror Prison.
The Mirror Prison was made up of six teleportation portals—above, below, left, right, front, and back.
This meant that no matter which portal they fell through, they would always emerge from the opposite one, forcing them into an endless cycle of falling.
Of course, Peter was still quite considerate.
He didn't let the captured Spider-Men suffer from this "infinite free-fall" indefinitely. Instead, he "thoughtfully" used spider silk to bind their hands, feet, and heads, fixing them in a large "X" shape at the very center of the Mirror Prison.
If they dared to attempt an escape, they were in for a rough time~
As the number of allies around him dwindled, Spider-Man 2099 became increasingly grim.
It wasn't as if he had never fought against Doctor Strange before.
Having traveled to so many different worlds, he had inevitably encountered some of the most renowned figures.
And who could be more famous than the Sorcerer Supreme, whose duty was to oversee the balance of the multiverse and single universes, while dealing with time travelers and dimensional invaders?
Spider-Man 2099 had been warned by various versions of Doctor Strange more than once.
This was one of the reasons he had been so cautious in developing the Spider Society to protect the Web of Life and Destiny.
But no Doctor Strange had ever understood Spider-Men as well as Peter did!
He even knew exactly how a Spider-Man would react to certain attacks, where they would land after dodging, and what techniques they might use to change direction mid-air!
And most importantly—
Doctor Strange's attacks could trigger a Spider-Man's Spider-Sense.
But Peter's attacks could not!
After all, Peter himself was a Spider-Man!
When Spider-Man fights Spider-Man, it all comes down to who has more tricks and greater experience.
And as it happens, he wasn't just any Spider-Man.
He was also a Sorcerer Supreme!
Whoosh!
The Vibranium Spider Suit's floating cape fluttered without wind, lifting Peter into the air as he slowly descended before Spider-Man 2099.
