Chapter 204: Gathering of Heroes (Part 1)
Time goes back a little bit, back to when Eddie left the basement of the Life Foundation and saw the purple Spider-Man beating the silver-gray Riot.
Riot, who was held down by Spider-Man, punched hard, and Spider-Man rolled to avoid it. Just as he was about to rush forward to stop Riot, a huge black shadow roared and rushed up.
Spider-Man jumped back to avoid Venom, who also turned into a behemoth and punched Riot in the face. Spider-Man asked the Phantom in his heart: "What is going on? Do you symbiotes still have hatred between each other?"
"It's hard to explain to you." The Phantom's voice was a little helpless.
At this time, Venom and Riot had already started fighting. Phantom said to Peter: "Venom and Riot do have a grudge, but that was when Venom was just born."
"I still don't understand what's wrong with your race? Why..."
As soon as Peter said this, he saw Riot's two arms transformed into two huge blades and slashed at Venom. Venom was not to be outdone. Black mucus burst out and countless tentacles hammered at Riot. The two of them were fighting hard and began to move outside the base building.
Peter chased after him while listening to Phantom explaining the symbiote to him.
"Actually, we are not called symbiotes. Our race name is 'Clint'. We were born on the planet Klintar in the Andromeda Nebula. Our creator is the god of symbiotes, Nar."
"That is an evil and ancient creature. After he created the symbiotes, he used us to invade the universe. Later, most of the symbiotes thought his behavior was evil, so we collectively overthrew him and imprisoned him on our home planet Klintar."
"That riot seems to be not in the same group with you? What about Venom? How did the two of them become enemies?"
The Phantom sighed, and Peter found that the emotions of this female symbiote were more human. He could even feel her very complicated emotions at this time through the brain waves transmitted by the Phantom.
And her emotions were obviously much more stable than Venom's, and she spoke very logically. Peter could hardly feel that she was an alien creature.
The hoarse female voice came again: "The reason why we betrayed our creator is because of the properties of the symbiont. When we parasitize other races, if they are just, we will also be infected by justice."
"Nar's unrestrained destruction and destruction are considered evil by most races. Many of our compatriots parasitize on the righteous races and feel that we are helping the evil. Most of us began to awaken."
"After an accident, the connection between most symbionts and Nar was cut off, so we united to defeat and imprison him."
"However, the damage caused by Nar is irreversible, and many of our compatriots feel guilty about it, so we formed an organization called "Space Agents."
"Members of this organization will choose just and kind alien races to parasitize, become partners with them, help their civilization develop, or rebuild those civilizations that have been enslaved and destroyed by Nar."
"You seem to have mentioned this organization just now. Are you also a member of this organization?"
"Yes, I am one of the current leaders of this organization."
"What about the riot? I just heard you call him' "Traitor of the Space Agents'?"
"Yes, it means literally. Riot was once a member of the Space Agents, but he betrayed us."
"As you have seen before, our life form is very special. In most cases, we need a host to move freely, but there are exceptions. On our home planet Klyntar, even without a host, the symbiotes can move freely."
"So, although the home planet has become a prison for Knull, there are still many symbiotes living on it."
"About... Never mind, anyway, a long time ago, something happened inside the Space Agents. The reason for the split was that some of the agents who stayed in the mother New Klyntar were summoned by Knull. "
"Knull's evil and chaos infected them again, causing them to betray the cosmic agents and become Knull's minions again, and the leader among them was Riot."
"Just like his name, he led a part of the cosmic agents to riot, and they rejoined Knull and wanted to release him from prison."
"I understand this part." Peter chased after the two monsters beating each other, while communicating with the phantom in his mind.
"What about Venom? What's his grudge against Riot?"
"Venom is a lunatic. This is recognized by all symbiotes. He is completely abnormal."
The Phantom seemed to have no idea how to express it to Peter. Peter felt that she thought about it for a while, and then he heard the Phantom say: "I know you have been parasitized by Venom, but I want to tell you that his method is abnormal."
"You may not believe it, but the symbiotes participating in the Cosmic Agents have the same rules. We have a complete set of parasitic rules to help us achieve a good symbiotic relationship with the host."
"For example, when we parasitize the host's body, we need to analyze the data of his body and formulate our own parasitism plan based on these data. At the same time, our first priority is to ensure the safety of the host's life. This is why I stopped you from jumping off the building before."
The phantom's voice seemed helpless. She said: "When I first came to Earth, I had parasitized several standard humans. I know what the physical fitness of ordinary humans should be like, and I know how much impact we can withstand together."
"According to your development, you can't even be considered an ordinary adult human, but only a cub."
"And I am also not a strong symbiont. Even if the two of us jump from more than 30 floors together, we may get injured, so I want to stop you."
"Oh, but can't you read my memory? Then you should be able to see that I often swing on high buildings."
"No, this is also a violation of the parasitic code of the cosmic agent. Without the host's consent, we can only read the superficial memory."
"Because most intelligent races are very disgusted with their memories being peeped, so in order to achieve good symbiosis We don't usually take the initiative to spy on the host's memory."
"You are quite polite, but Venom..."
Peter paused and continued, "He always wants me to do bad things. I thought all symbiotes were like him."
"He is special." The voice of the female symbiote has some strange rhythms: "Venom was born during the war after the split of the Space Agents. At that time, he was born in the area occupied by Riot."
"Most of the symbiotes led by Riot are chaotic and evil, so Venom has no concept of rules."
"The two of them The hatred was also formed at that time. "
"Riot was the boss there at that time. Because it was a war period, Riot needed a fellow tribe that could fight against real space agents, but Venom had just been born and he had no power, so he couldn't participate in the battle, so he almost didn't get any food and was often bullied. "
Peter glanced at the two monsters fighting each other, and said: "But now it seems that the situation has reversed."
"Because Venom is a lunatic, this is not an adjective, nor am I saying bad things about him, I am telling the truth." The tone of the phantom demon sounded very helpless.
"It may be the shadow of childhood, or it may be that he is born abnormal. In short, Venom is a crazy symbiote."
"Generally speaking, symbiotes are indeed affected by the host, but this influence is limited, because we are also creatures with independent intelligence. We can selectively absorb some of the host's characteristics to strengthen ourselves."
"The more hosts the symbiote has parasitized, the stronger this self-control ability is. This is the case for the leaders of the cosmic agents."
"But Venom is not like this. He accepts all the characteristics of the host and engraves all the messy things into his genes."
"His first host was a madman in a red and black uniform. "The two of them caused a lot of trouble in the universe. The most famous one was that this guy went to the Andromeda star port and insulted a group of dwarves." "The dwarves recognized the symbiote parasitic on that person, so they blamed it all on the space agent, which caused us a lot of trouble." "And Venom is also gifted." "As a parasitic species, our influence on the host is also limited, especially for some determined intelligent races, who can even get rid of all the influence we bring to them by willpower." "But Venom is very good at The erosion of the host is infinite, and it can completely change the host's behavior pattern, even when the host itself is not aware of it. "
"So, all the symbiotes on the order side know that they must stay away from Venom and the host that Venom has parasitized. This is why I didn't want to parasitize you before."
"But I don't feel that I'm crazy?"
"I think it's strange too." The phantom's voice was a little puzzled: "Before you wanted to jump from such a high building, I thought you were crazy, but since you have other special powers, it means that your thinking is normal and not affected by Venom. Could it be that Venom has really turned over a new leaf?"
Peter then asked, "Then why did you come to Earth?"
"This... has to start with Knull. Not long ago, the space agent discovered that Knull was creating a new symbiote."
"During the time he was imprisoned, there was no unusual movement, and he suddenly began to create offspring. We suspect that he wanted to escape from prison."
"In addition to the space agent, the rebels led by Riot also discovered this. They are very much looking forward to it, hoping that this new symbiote can welcome back their creator and lead them to invade the universe again."
"Both sides are staring at the mother planet Klyntar nervously, waiting for the birth of that new special symbiote."
"But on the day we thought he was going to be born, he disappeared."
"Disappeared?"
"Yes, it disappeared. The special symbiote that was supposed to be born suddenly disappeared."
"The cosmic agents and rebels are confused, but this is a good thing for us. Once the special symbiote is born, a war to encircle and suppress Nar may begin again."
"We thought that something went wrong in the process of Nar creating this symbiote, but who knew that Riot, as Nar's close minister, received an order from Nar to find this new symbiote."
"In other words, this symbiote was taken away by someone, and Riot was ordered to find him."
"Riot received an order and he went straight to the nine kingdoms, and the cosmic agents must stop him and must not let Nar have a chance to escape."
"Riot can ignore the rules and go directly I was able to sneak in, but the cosmic agents couldn't. We first sent someone to inform Asgard and obtained the consent of the God King Odin, and then I came to the atrium of the Nine Kingdoms through the passage of Asgard. "
"Then how were you caught?"
"Riot came here before me. He found a human to cooperate with, that is, his current host. He noticed that the cosmic agents were following him, so he set a trap."
The Phantom said angrily: "He used to be a member of the cosmic agents, and he fought with us for a long time. He knows the weaknesses of each of us."
"They designed a trap for my host. My host was just an ordinary person at the time. In order to ensure his safety, I had to take the initiative to leave him."
"It is difficult for the symbiote without a host to move freely, and then he was caught by Riot and locked up."
