Entering the lair, Spider-Man encounters holographic recordings that unveil the puppeteer's true identity and motives. The puppeteer sought to harness the Codex's power to reshape reality according to their vision of a controlled and obedient society.
Spider-Man: (Realizing) This goes deeper than I thought. The puppeteer's illusions were a facade for a grander plan.

Puppeteer: (Sinister laughter) Spider-Man, you've disrupted my plans for too long. The Codex's power will bend to my will.
A cosmic battle ensues within the Astral Nexus, where reality itself becomes a battleground. The puppeteer, wielding enhanced reality-bending abilities, challenges Spider-Man's determination.
Spider-Man: (Focused) Your illusion of control ends here. The city deserves to shape its own destiny.
Guided by the Oracle's wisdom and fueled by the cosmic energies within the Astral Nexus, Spider-Man counters the puppeteer's reality-warping attacks. The battle escalates, with Spider-Man pushing the limits of his enhanced abilities.

Spider-Man: (Empathetic) Your vision of control only brings chaos. The city deserves freedom, not manipulation.
The puppeteer, defeated and weakened, retreats into the shadows. The Astral Nexus stabilizes, and the lingering influence of The Arachnid Order begins to fade.

Peter: (Smiling) We faced some extraordinary challenges, Gwen. But we're resilient, just like the city.
