Chapter 139 - Upgrading Emperor

"Haha, I'm finally out!"

Eddie, transformed into Venom, shouted excitedly.

"I told you there was no problem, they're just a bunch of... Riot!"

"Who is Riot?"

Hearing the voice in his mind, Eddie saw an equally tall black figure ahead.

"In your terms, Riot is the leader of the Symbiotes. He has an arsenal of weapons, is incredibly powerful, and unstoppable."

Although it was their first meeting, after Venom reviewed Eddie's memories, he developed an equally strong interest in this man.

He was the Symbiotes' loser, and Eddie was the humans' loser, they were simply a match made in heaven.

He liked Eddie.

"But the problem now is... look, your leader seems to be kneeling there."

"I see him. Damn it, who is that human?"

Meeting the gazes of Riot and Aaron, Venom felt something was wrong.

Eddie also felt that the situation was off, and he revealed his human form underneath.

"Uh... I was just passing by. You guys continue your chat, don't mind me."

"You're smart." Venom exclaimed, and the two of them obediently slipped away to the side.

"Stop."

"Run!"

Eddie shouted, and Venom instantly seized control of the body and took off running.

However, as soon as he took a step, he was fixed in mid-air by a powerful force, unable to move a step.

Eddie was confused. "Run! Why are you striking a pose now?"

Venom screamed, "I want to run too!"

Then, a powerful suction force pulled Venom and Eddie away.

By the time the two realized what happened, they had already arrived in front of Aaron.

"Impossible!"

"You... You are Aaron, the God of miracles!" Eddie was dumbfounded.

He had considered many possibilities, but he never expected that the person who made Riot, whom even Venom feared, kneel obediently, and who left them completely helpless, would actually be Aaron.

"Aren't you human?"

Aaron retorted, "Aren't you human too?"

"Ah, well..."

Eddie was stunned.

Right, nobody said humans couldn't have superpowers, did they?

Although his abilities came from the alien Symbiote, Venom.

"Um... Mr. Aaron, humans don't harm other humans, right?" Eddie said with a forced laugh.

"Of course. You also don't have the value for me to harm you, do you?"

Aaron wasn't a reckless murderer, and he wasn't interested in Eddie. He also had no intention of breaking up this pair of "true loves."

His preferences were still normal. Things like Symbiotes... were hard to accept.

Of course, the prerequisite was that Eddie and Venom didn't come looking for trouble. Otherwise, he wouldn't mind casually taking care of them.

Aaron likewise placed his hand on Eddie's body.

"Oh no, he's devouring me!" Venom yelled inside Eddie's head.

Eddie's eyes lit up.

Could he separate from this strange guy? That would be fantastic.

The current Eddie and Venom had not yet developed the deep relationship they would later have.

He felt quite uncomfortable having another uninvited long-term tenant inside his body.

However, Aaron quickly lost interest and withdrew his hand.

He had originally thought Venom would be more special, but he gained nothing.

Aaron felt a bit regretful, and he said to Eddie and Venom, "Although I'm somewhat disappointed, I want to say, I wish you happiness."

Then, looking at Riot, he said, "You should know what you ought to do and what you ought not to do."

Riot nodded repeatedly.

When Riot raised his head again, Aaron had already vanished from sight.

"Whew... That was terrifying."

This was the first time Riot had felt such a terrifying sense of oppression. It felt as if Aaron only needed to lift a hand for it to instantly drop dead.

"Earth is too dangerous, I want to go home."

Without hesitation, Riot scrambled up and was about to run when suddenly it looked at Venom.

"Venom, what did you just see?"

Venom froze, then quickly shook it's head. "I didn't see anything."

Riot was satisfied with this answer. "Very good. So, are you coming back with me?"

Venom hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't want to go back. I want to stay on Earth."

It looked up at Riot, afraid the other party wouldn't agree.

However, Riot grinned widely. "Haha, that's even better."

"I mean, I respect your decision."

"Venom, you know I've always thought highly of you. You have great potential."

"You can settle down here from now on. We'll come back to visit you when we have time."

"Goodbye forever."

Having said that, Riot ignored Venom and ran off immediately.

"Your leader is that nice?" Eddie was stunned.

However, just after he spoke, he saw Riot grab a security guard, possess him, and then turn around and swallow Carlton's head in one bite.

Although Aaron hadn't said it, Riot knew what he meant.

When Carlton began to fantasize about replacing Aaron, his fate was already sealed.

Eddie: "..."

"Wait, didn't he just say goodbye?"

Venom scratched his head. "He used to always call me trash. In fact, on our Planet, I'm pretty much trash, just like you."

"I think he probably doesn't want me to go back and tell the others about his miserable appearance."

Eddie realized the truth, but quickly reacted with a bad feeling. "You aren't going to stay inside my body forever, are you?"

Venom said matter-of-factly, "Isn't that good? At least with me, you can become very strong."

"Besides, didn't you hear? That person just said, 'I wish you happiness.' Do you want to defy his will?"

"Huh?!"

Eddie was dumbfounded.

Seriously? Was he stuck like this?

However, something even more shocking happened.

When he left the Life Foundation and came outside—

A man in black walked up. "Are you Mr. Eddie?"

"You are..." Eddie was confused.

"I am an employee of Osborn Industries. The CEO wants to ask you and Venom one question: Would you like to enjoy some buffet?"

"Buffet?"

"It seems to be... brains?"

Just as Eddie was about to refuse, Venom nodded repeatedly. "We accept. Haha, I love eating buffet the most."

After leaving, Aaron returned to the plane and saw that Jane and Darcy were still asleep.

After having the pilot take off, he summoned Emperor. He then integrated the abilities of the Phoenix Force, as well as attributes like shape-shifting, shared Symbiosis, and Super Simulation, into it.

Accompanied by scorching fire and dazzling light, Emperor underwent earth-shattering changes.

In terms of power, Emperor already possessed the might to destroy Planets. It contained the energy of an eternal phoenix core, which would not be extinguished even if operating at full power for a hundred years.

The ability of the Symbiote also allowed it to perfectly fit the host. When unnecessary, it could merge into the body.

It could be fully donned in a single thought, making it much more convenient.

Aaron put on Emperor. The originally golden armor suddenly retracted its divine light, and automatically transformed into casual clothing.

Judging from the appearance, it had no special features. However, its defense was enough to make induce despair.

Aaron nodded in satisfaction. This made things much easier.
