Marvel’s Spider-Man: Across the Multiverse

Peter had come for this exact purpose, so naturally, he didn't hesitate. Without delay, he extended his hand, channeling the quantum energy within him and injecting it into the container of the Rebirth Cradle.

This container was originally designed to store nanotech repair materials for healing purposes. However, with the nanotech extracted earlier by the Black Panther, it was now repurposed to hold quantum energy.

The Black Panther hadn't specified how much quantum energy was needed, and Peter didn't bother to ask.

The Black Panther assumed quantum energy was incredibly rare—after all, the quantum realm was a profoundly mysterious domain, even for Wakanda.

But for Peter, acquiring quantum energy was effortless, given his ability to traverse and harvest it. Consequently, he wasn't overly concerned about its usage.

However, Peter overdid it.

Boom!

The container emitted a low hum, as if it were on the verge of exploding.

The Black Panther froze for a moment, then quickly grabbed Peter's hand. "Stop, stop! That's enough, more than enough!"

Peter immediately ceased the energy injection.

Fortunately, both of them reacted quickly.

Although the container had shown signs of being overwhelmed, Wakanda's advanced technology ensured it didn't fail under the strain.

Inside the container now swirled a substance with an almost dreamlike appearance.

It resembled both light and mist—visible to the naked eye but untouchable by ordinary hands.

The Black Panther couldn't hide his joy.

Seeing the quantum energy in such a tangible form boosted his confidence in curing his illness.

"Griot, analyze this energy and reprogram the subroutines of the Rebirth Cradle's repair material container," the Black Panther instructed, addressing the air.

"Understood, Your Majesty," a disembodied voice replied.

The Rebirth Cradle began operating autonomously.

Thin strands of quantum energy were extracted from the container and seemed to flow toward a nearby analysis instrument.

The Black Panther gave Peter a grateful smile. "Thank you, Peter."

Peter waved his hand dismissively. "Glad I could help. Mind if I stick around and observe? To be honest, I only recently discovered this unique energy and don't fully understand it yet. I'd like to learn more."

"Of course! I was hoping you'd stay," the Black Panther replied with a warm smile.

He had been worried about imposing on Peter after already requesting so much of the "precious" quantum energy. Asking for more assistance might seem rude.

But since quantum energy was as new to Peter as it was to him, having Peter around gave him much-needed reassurance.

As for Peter, he saw this as an opportunity to explore the practical applications of quantum energy and prepare for the impending battles ahead.

Although Dr. Bill Foster had agreed to assist him, that support wouldn't come until after the current conflict had been resolved.

In other words, Peter couldn't rely on him just yet.

Now that he had a chance to study and learn, there was no way he would let it slip by.

Over the following days, Peter's experiences in this secret Wakandan facility left him deeply impressed.

Like most people, Peter had always seen the Black Panther as a commanding king and a formidable warrior.

But he—and others—often overlooked one critical aspect.

The Black Panther's unparalleled wisdom!

Through this brief period of interaction, Peter discovered that the Black Panther's technological expertise was no less impressive than his leadership and combat abilities.

In the laboratory, surrounded by various advanced scientific devices that Peter couldn't even begin to understand, the Black Panther navigated them with remarkable proficiency.

First, using 3D holographic imaging technology, he projected a 3D model of himself and then isolated every blood-related component of his body, including blood vessels and spinal cord structures.

Then, he moved to another section of the lab, where he reviewed Griot's preliminary analysis of quantum energy and began further planning and research.

The expansive laboratory was filled with the busy yet methodical presence of the Black Panther.

It was clear that he approached his work with exceptional organization, maintaining a rhythm that was busy yet never chaotic.

Seeing how engrossed he was, Peter refrained from interrupting, choosing instead to watch from a distance to avoid disturbing him.

That didn't stop him from observing carefully, though.

As Spider-Man, Peter's enhanced vision allowed him to see just as clearly from afar as he could up close.

Oh, and there was one more "person" in this secret base who hadn't been introduced yet.

During his time here, Peter had been astonished to discover an AI that could rival J.A.R.V.I.S. or Friday—an artificial intelligence named Griot.

The name carried a poetic significance.

In the native languages of Africa, a "Griot" referred to poets, storytellers, artists, and musicians who passed down oral traditions through generations.

In ancient times, Griots served in royal courts as historians, advisors, and messengers for kings and chieftains.

Similarly, Wakanda's AI Griot played an essential role, assisting the Black Panther as a repository of knowledge and a powerful analytical tool.

With Griot's help, the Black Panther processed information at incredible speed.

Countless formulas seemed to spring effortlessly from his fingertips, integrating seamlessly into the programs he was working on.

About two hours later, as the night deepened outside, the Black Panther suddenly emerged from his focused research.

Peter noticed that one of the machines, which had been running at high speed for quite some time, had finally stopped.

The Black Panther approached it, and the machine opened a small compartment, ejecting a tiny petri dish.

Inside the dish was a delicate substance resembling a leaf fiber.

It was so fine that it required tiny tweezers and a magnifying lens to examine properly.

Carefully, the Black Panther placed the sample on a glass slide, leaning in so closely to study it that his face nearly touched it. He regarded it as though it were the most precious treasure in the world.

Curious, Peter stepped closer and asked, "You've already figured it out?"

The Black Panther made some room for him but shook his head. "Not yet. I've only confirmed a theory."

"Oh?" Peter's interest was piqued.

To be honest, he hadn't fully understood what the Black Panther had been doing earlier.

The Black Panther, however, was happy to share his findings.

Gesturing toward the sample, he explained, "After conducting a preliminary analysis of the quantum energy, I discovered that it could function as a coupling agent. By placing it between certain protons and neutrons and applying a small amount of energy, they rapidly bond together to form a unique subatomic structure. Then, using data from the heart-shaped herb, I successfully simulated its properties and created a fiber with a 99% similarity to the herb's leaf structure using quantum energy!"

There was a trace of excitement in his voice.

No one understood the significance of this breakthrough better than he did.

This discovery meant that he could use quantum energy to produce a medicine-like substance that, once introduced into his body, could bind to the deadly toxins hidden in his bloodstream and expel them completely.

And this, at last, was the cure.

The Black Panther's hope for life!
