"Cough, cough, damn it, I'm not kidding, I'm really about to…"
Eddie Brock struggled desperately.
But he was completely unable to contend with the immense power displayed by the other party.
He quickly fainted from lack of oxygen.
At this moment, a pitch-black fluid organism emerged from Maria's arms.
It began to penetrate Eddie Brock's skin.
However.
Just then.
The Venom Symbiote seemed to suddenly sense an even greater attraction.
It abruptly turned its head to look at the man not far away, whose entire body was glowing with golden light.
"What a high-quality human, simply unprecedented!"
The Venom Symbiote let out a greedy hiss.
Then, it directly abandoned the tiny bit of tissue that had just seeped into Eddie Brock's skin.
Like a blob of mud, it shot straight towards Karl opposite him.
Bang—
The Venom Symbiote slammed hard onto the energy outer layer surrounding Karl.
But no matter how it tried, it couldn't successfully invade.
"Damn it, let me in, quickly let me in!"
"Human, become my mount, I will grant you great power… Eh? What's with this energy?"
Venom actually felt an unprecedented sense of fullness and comfort from the energy emitted by the energy outer layer.
It no longer felt hungry.
It even had a wonderful feeling of its body suddenly being "filled" with power.
This was the first time Venom had encountered such a special host.
So, no matter what, it would absolutely not let go of this human… It wanted to turn Karl into its toy!
"Human, please, merge with me, I can also be your mount…"
Venom immediately changed to a fawning face and tirelessly persuaded:
"I have a premonition that as long as the two of us join forces, we will definitely be able to dominate this Planet."
"By then, no other Symbiote will dare to call me a good-for-nothing again."
"And you, my friend, by then you will become the ruler in charge of all humankind…"
Looking at Venom, who was anxiously jumping up and down in front of him, Karl's lips curved into a disdainful arc.
He had already "seen" through the other party's little trick through the mind stone.
Venom, full of lies, intended to first gain Karl's trust, and then secretly devour his consciousness, completely turning him into a tool-like zombie.
Its little scheme was clicking away loudly!
But this time, it was destined to pay an extremely heavy price for its greed and cunning.
"You're too noisy."
Karl grabbed Venom in his hand and sneered, "I hate chatterboxes, so you'd better just be a tool."
As soon as his voice fell.
Karl directly put a Mind Chain on Venom.
And during this process.
Karl clearly felt a trace of resistance from the depths of Venom's consciousness.
It was as if some powerful existence had left its imprint and shackles in its consciousness.
But under the continuous impact of the Mind Power released by Karl, it was quickly forcibly erased along with Venom's personal consciousness!
Venom, having lost its personal consciousness, immediately withered like a puddle of mud.
Karl immediately removed his energy outer layer and, with a thought, commanded the tool-Venom to instantly merge into his arm.
Swish—
A pitch-black fluid emerged from Karl's right arm, instantly transforming into a longsword with a black matte finish.
With a flick of his wrist, he directly cut a huge gap in the high-strength alloy isolation chamber in front of him.
"The hardness and sharpness are both very good…"
Karl continued to test, and with a thought, Venom immediately transformed into a pair of pitch-black demon wings on his back.
Whoosh, whoosh—
As the wings flapped, Karl's figure slowly lifted off the ground.
"Very good, it seems that erasing the Symbiote's consciousness was a very correct choice."
After a series of tests, Karl came to a simple and crude conclusion.
That is, when using the Symbiote as a weapon without independent thought.
The intent transmitted by the user when changing forms will not only experience no delay or loss.
Instead, it will become even more unrestrained due to the absence of interference and resistance from the Symbiote's thoughts.
It gives a comfortable and controlled feeling, as if driving a "biological nano-suit."
"This way, I don't have to worry about my handsome boy being led astray by the Symbiote's evil consciousness."
"He just needs to familiarize himself with how to use the Symbiote, and I believe his strength will be maximized."
That's right.
In fact, Karl's original purpose for seizing the Venom Symbiote was not for his own use… or rather, not primarily for his own use!
Instead, it was specifically to enhance King Kong's overall strength.
Venom King Kong?!
A big black giant that can freely change attack forms, doesn't that sound cool?
In order to better cope with the endless Kaiju and Titan that would appear next, and to play every high-level game well, thereby helping himself harvest more Prestige.
Karl had always been trying to find ways to improve King Kong's combat effectiveness.
The first thing he thought of was naturally the battle axe stored in the Inner Earth.
As the exclusive weapon passed down through generations of the King Kong family.
This battle axe, forged from Godzilla's dorsal fin, is not only incredibly tough but also possesses special enchantment attributes that increase Attack and Critical Hit.
It can be said that with one axe in hand, the World is mine!
However.
Karl temporarily had no plans to personally go to the Inner Earth.
Currently, Hyperspace Group is in its most crucial period of external expansion, and he must personally oversee it from the surface.
Furthermore, the Inner Earth Flyer, which can resist the extreme gravitational reversal field that occurs when entering Inner Earth space, has not yet been developed…
So, this idea can only be put on hold for now!
Next, Karl directly set his sights on the Venom Symbiote.
In addition to being able to freely transform into weapons and equipment, providing the host with additional basic attribute bonuses such as Attack, Defense, and Stamina.
The Symbiote can also heal injuries sustained by the host, and even repair fatal wounds.
This not only compensated for King Kong's lack of a main weapon but also completely solved its fatal weakness of being poor in water combat!
So, as long as it doesn't encounter an ultimate fire-breathing monster like Godzilla.
Whether fighting Kaiju in the ocean, or battling other high-ranking Titan on land or in the sky, King Kong can easily solo them.
This way, Karl would no longer need to assist from the sidelines.
The only thing that worried Karl was the Symbiote's erosion of the host's internal organs.
After all, if it cannot perfectly adapt to the Symbiote.
Then for the host, this is a slow-acting poison.
Fortunately, this problem was perfectly solved in the previous test.
Karl also didn't expect the cosmic secret energy emanating from his body.
It could also provide the necessary energy for the Symbiote's survival and combat.
And judging from Venom's previous performance, its effect seems to be far greater than the phenylethylamine that human brains and chocolate can provide to the Symbiote.
This way, Karl only needs to occasionally replenish energy for King Kong and the Symbiote Suit, which can completely eliminate the side effect of eroding the host.
It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
With a thought, the Venom Symbiote condensed into a ring on Karl's left Pinky finger, completely black with a white spider pattern on its top surface.
Don't tell me, it actually looks pretty good.
"I remember besides Riot who escaped early, Life Foundation seems to have recovered a total of 3 Alien Symbiote this time…"
"I just don't know if the other two died?"
If it follows the plot in the movie Venom: Lethal Guardian.
Besides Venom, the other two Symbiote all died accidentally during Life Foundation's human experiments.
It's just unknown how far their experiments have progressed at this moment.
Thinking of this, Karl directly ignored Eddie Brock, who had fainted.
He walked straight to another Symbiote isolation chamber numbered A02 opposite.
Inside, a Pirate in a semi-comatose state was being held.
From the data displayed on the side recorder, it could be seen.
This Pirate had been fused with Symbiote A02 for 4 days.
All physical data were continuously declining.
Organ failure also appeared in his body.
And as Karl approached.
The blue Symbiote originally attached to the Pirate's body actually shot out from the host like Venom did before, splattering against the protective glass door like a puddle of mud!
Sizzle—
Karl used his Cyclops to directly blast open the protective door, then, following the same method, erased the independent consciousness of the A02 blue Symbiote.
Soon, another completely blue spider ring appeared on his right Pinky finger.
"Hmm?!"
However, when Karl arrived in front of the Symbiote isolation chamber numbered A03, he found that the yellow Symbiote inside had already died along with its host.
"Not bad, I gained one more Symbiote Suit than I expected, so now I and my handsome boy each get one."
Although the Symbiote Suit could not help Karl increase his physical limit, thereby increasing the power of energy transmission.
But it allowed him to have an extra means of self-preservation, reducing the probability of future accidents.
However, if the "Worldly Fun-Seeker Plan" formulated by Karl could proceed smoothly, it wouldn't be long before he, the Boss, wouldn't have to personally attend any major events.
"Speaking of which… if according to the movie Universe setting, it seems that besides Venom, other Symbiote do not possess the ability to reproduce through self-division, right?"
Karl looked at the black ring on his finger, lost in thought.
He immediately decided that after returning, he would have Samuel Sterns start a brand new experimental project.
To see if they could use Venom and another Symbiote to split and reproduce more Symbiote Suit.
If this idea was feasible.
Then Karl planned to prioritize distributing the new batch of Symbiote Suit to the ten people in the first phase of the Thunder Warriors.
Hiss…
New Super Soldier Serum + Symbiote Suit?
This seems even fiercer than the original Thunder Warriors legion that followed the Emperor in conquests during the Warhammer 30K era, doesn't it?!
Even the Astartes equipped with new power armor in the later stages might not be as fierce as these soldiers!
Just then.
A cacophony of footsteps came from outside the laboratory.
Immediately after, a large number of armed guards streamed in.
On the ground, Eddie Brock, who had awakened at some point, saw the situation and quickly fled in a panic towards another exit of the laboratory.
But soon he discovered an extremely strange scene.
All those guards completely ignored the man standing in front of the isolation chamber, as if he didn't exist at all, and all chased after him.
"There are clearly two Invader, why are they only chasing me?"
"He's the one who broke both of those isolation chambers, that's not fair!!"
"That's because you're a loser…" Suddenly, a hoarse voice rang out in Eddie Brock's mind.
"Who… who's talking?"
Eddie Brock looked around in horror, but aside from the pursuers behind him, there was nothing beside him.
"Don't waste time looking, I'm inside you, but I can't manifest physically in front of you right now."
The hoarse voice continued with a hint of schadenfreude, "Hehehe, the main body abandoned me, but it was punished for it, serves it right."
"I can feel that its consciousness mysteriously disappeared the moment it touched that man."
"Although that man looks really delicious, he's also very terrifying, so why don't you useless person quickly take me away from here…"
"Damn it, I'm having auditory hallucinations at a time like this." Eddie Brock continued to run forward, trying to calm himself down and suppress the voice in his head.
But he was quickly blocked by an electronic door.
"Idiot, this isn't a hallucination, I'm real, my name is Venom… No, from the moment I was abandoned, I was already Anti-Venom."
Anti-Venom, while accumulating power within Eddie, commanded, "Just crash into it, I'll lend you my strength."
Eddie Brock felt a powerful force instantly fill his entire body.
Then, as if by some strange impulse.
He actually crashed into the heavy electronic door.
Bang—
Eddie Brock's figure flew out along with the twisted and deformed electronic door.
Then, in full view of everyone, he leaped over a 3-meter-high protective net and quickly disappeared into the surrounding dense forest.
"Immediately notify Drake, the laboratory has been invaded, and an unknown Invader has stolen the Symbiote."
…
Meanwhile, inside the laboratory.
A dazed researcher handed a USB drive to Karl.
It contained all the data on Life Foundation's illegal human experiments using homeless people.
Handing this over to Old Zhan will allow me to harvest another batch of fat leeks!
Before leaving, Karl first opened the panel to check the previous anomaly, but found that in such a short period of time, several more lines of prompt text had appeared on the light screen.
And what surprised him the most was—
"Detected collectable Demon Soul Fragments, Warp Soul Count + 1"
"Prestige + 88, + 99, + 66…"
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
Why is the number of plundered souls constantly increasing?
Is someone massacring people on my behalf?
Also, what in the World is this new "Demon Soul Fragment"?
Eh? What's with this constantly flashing Mind Chain…
…
The scene returned to Selene's area.
A few minutes ago—
"Hehehe… I have to say, as a Vampire, you've shown a lot of backbone."
Blood God stared at Selene, who was clenching her teeth and saying nothing, and chuckled sinisterly:
"But I happen to have plenty of patience, and I'll definitely make you speak up on your own!"
