At the exact moment Peter was bitten by the spider, several spatial rifts suddenly appeared in the skies above Big Apple City.
These rifts, as if torn open by an invisible force, radiated an otherworldly aura.
From these rifts, several figures drifted out. They looked peculiar, their faces blurred, as if they had traveled from another dimension.
"Is this... heaven? Didn't I sink into the ocean with the tritium element?" one of the figures muttered to himself.
This was none other than Doctor Octopus. His bewildered eyes scanned his surroundings.
"Did I... not die?" He rubbed his eyes in agony, seeing the familiar buildings around him as if in a dream.
But before he could act, his sanity fractured again.
His mechanical arms raged like a hurricane, smashing everything in their path to the ground with ear-splitting crashes.
Pedestrians scattered in terror, screaming in panic.
They stared wide-eyed at the mechanical monstrosity rampaging through the streets, their hearts filled with fear and helplessness.
In this world without superheroes, people could only cower in fear, praying helplessly.
Doctor Octopus seemed to relish the despair and shock on people's faces, his mechanical arms flailing with even greater ferocity.
His heart swelled with triumph and arrogance, as if he were announcing his existence to the world.
Suddenly, the air filled with the crack of dense gunfire and the wail of police sirens in the distance.
Heavily armed Special Police quickly arrived on the scene, unleashing suppressive fire in a desperate attempt to halt the mechanical monstrosity's rampage.
The street quickly descended into chaos. Cars were snatched by the mechanical arms and hurled like projectiles at the officers.
Some officers and innocent civilians couldn't dodge in time and were crushed to death, their bodies littering the pavement.
The horrific scene was a chilling spectacle, and the Special Police gradually felt the pressure mounting.
As time passed, more officers fell to Doctor Octopus's onslaught, and the situation grew increasingly dire.
Helicopters broadcast the disaster live, allowing the entire world to witness the catastrophe unfold.
The mechanical monster seemed to have lost all reason, its actions growing more frenzied with each passing moment, leaving a trail of devastation wherever it went.
The Special Police seemed to have reached a dead end, unable to stop the mechanical monster's destructive rampage.
Everyone watching the news prayed silently, hoping a hero would emerge.
On his way home, Peter Parker saw the scene on television. Clenching his fists, he thought, *If only I had the power to stop this.*
At that moment, a mother and daughter were fleeing the scene when the little girl stumbled on a rock.
Doctor Octopus seemed to notice this, a cruel smile spreading across his face. He grabbed a car from the roadside and hurled it toward the child.
The mother realized the vehicle was about to crush her daughter. She tightly hugged the crying girl, trying to shield her with her own body.
Her eyes, filled with both determination and helplessness, moved Peter deeply.
Watching the scene on television, Peter's anger and sorrow intertwined.
He clenched his fists and shouted with desperation and terror, "No!" His voice seemed to pierce through the screen, as if to rescue the mother and daughter from danger.
Just as the car was about to crash into the mother and daughter, a mechanical voice boomed from the television:
The "Eternal" smoke dissipated, revealing not the scene of despair everyone had imagined, but a knight in a black cloak and a blue-and-white mask, standing like a war god to block the car hurtling toward the mother and daughter.
It was Chen Ye, who had sensed something was wrong and rushed to the scene. As for why he had transformed into Kamen Rider Eternal:
Simply put, Chen Ye didn't want to reveal his identity. After all, he was still an undocumented resident in this world and didn't want to attract unnecessary trouble.
"It's over. You're safe now," Chen Ye said, turning to the shaken mother and daughter.
At Chen Ye's words, the mother slowly regained her senses and hurriedly thanked him.
However, Chen Ye didn't linger. He urged them to leave immediately, warning that the area was no longer safe.
The crowd watching the scene erupted in spontaneous cheers, celebrating Chen Ye's rescue of the mother and daughter.
Some of the older spectators, overwhelmed by the intensity, even fainted.
Peter clenched his fists and shouted excitedly, "So cool!"
It seemed he was praising both Chen Ye's actions and the handsome knight himself.
Peter stared at Chen Ye on the TV screen, his eyes filled with admiration and envy. *If only I had his abilities, would Mary like me? Would I stop being bullied?*
In that moment, Peter desperately wished he could become a superhero.
The only one likely to be displeased was the gloomy Doctor Octopus.
Doctor Octopus scrutinized the knight who had interrupted his fun and demanded, "Are you the superhero of this world?"
He hadn't expected to find a Spider-Man-like superhero in this unfamiliar place. Without waiting for Chen Ye's answer, he immediately controlled his mechanical arms to attack.
But Chen Ye remained calm. His eyes narrowed, and he flashed out of the way of the attack.
His gaze turned cold, and he flickered to appear before Doctor Octopus, landing a punch that sent the villain stumbling back several steps.
"It seems you underestimate my strength," Chen Ye said, his voice icy as he stared down at Doctor Octopus.
"You!" Doctor Octopus was stunned that his full-power attack had been so easily dodged by Chen Ye, who then sent him reeling back with a single punch.
Those watching the scene unfold were equally astonished. The very Doctor Octopus who had proven so formidable, even against the Special Police, was now being effortlessly repelled by the blue-and-white knight before them.
The crowd erupted into fervent cheers: "Go! Go! Take down that mechanical monster!"
Watching on television, Peter Parker was even more captivated by the knight. This was the very person he had dreamed of becoming.
In that moment, Peter fantasized that he was the one behind the mask, saving the world and then, under the eyes of the adoring crowd, unmasking himself to propose to his beloved Mary.
A blissful drool escaped Peter's lips.
Clearly annoyed by the ants' cheers, Doctor Octopus unleashed a barrage of mechanical arms in all directions, a dense swarm of metal limbs descending upon the spectators.
The crowd scattered in terror once more. Chen Ye glanced around helplessly. "Don't you know spectating comes with life-threatening risks?" he muttered, then manipulated magnetic forces to twist the mechanical arms into a tangled mass.
Feeling his arms go out of control, Doctor Octopus stared at the knight in horror. "Who are you?!" he demanded.
Everyone watching—both the TV audience and the onlookers—held their breath, awaiting the blue-and-white masked knight's answer.
Chen Ye flicked his cape, pointed at Doctor Octopus, and spoke slowly: "I'm just a passing Masked Rider. Remember that!"
