Chapter 009: Extinction events every two weeks. This is Marvel.
"Jeff! My boy!" As soon as he arrived at the apartment, Adrian threw himself onto his shark.
"Awo!"
"Who is the cutest killer threat? Yes! It's you! My brother, Jeff! The cutest killer threat!"
"Awoo!"
More like a dog than a shark, Jeff jumped on top of Adrian and started licking him while flapping his fins, the two played for a while until Adrian spoke.
"I said I would come back, my brother." He made a fist gesture.
"Awo!!" Jeff touched his paw to the fist.
"Umu, don't get comfortable my most lethal little brother! We are going to move!"
"Awo!"
Adrian picked up all his things and put them inside Venom's biomass, he looked at Jeff for a few seconds and said. "Don't be afraid, I will prepare a suit for you."
"Awo?"
[Venom, it's your turn.]
[I don't want to create a child.] Venom denied.
[Me neither! The only Symbiote that can exist on this planet is us!]
[Goooood~] Venom nodded satisfied.
[I'm telling you to just prepare the suit for him.]
[Ah, in that case it's easy] A black goo came out of Adrian, and fused with Jeff, moments later, he had the appearance of his Symbiote Skin from the Marvel Rivals game.
[Oh? I found a genetic record inside him... And it seems to be mine? Hmm, but it's a weaker me? Strange.]
Adrian nodded. "It must be the Venom that is participating in the Galactica games." He touched his chin while thinking.
Venom came out of Adrian's body and said: "There is another me out there!?"
"Hmm, you know the multiverse theory, right? It's basically that."
Venom was not stupid before, now after processing memories of various 'food', mainly genius scientists, he became even smarter, therefore, he immediately understood what Adrian said: "Ugh, if we find another me, I will eat him!"
"Umu!" Adrian agreed without hesitation, after all, Venom versions usually keep jumping from host to host, the genetic bank he is storing must be immense!
Especially the Marvel Rivals version of Venom that practically infected almost all the strong fighters there.
Looking at Jeff who was using web tentacles to swing around, he asked. "Did you like it, Jeff?"
"Awo!!!"
He laughed at the shark's enthusiasm. "I really have to think about how to make you more lethal! No one bullies my little brother!"
"Awoo!"
"I wonder what Emma from Marvel Rivals' reaction will be when she sees the little threat you will become, HAHAHAHAH~!"
"Awowowowowo!" Jeff perfectly imitated Adrian's 'gentle' laugh.
"Jump on my shoulder, my brother! We are going to roll out!" He said in Optimus Prime style.
Jeff immediately jumped onto Adrian's shoulder, and like glue, he stuck there.
...
While swinging through New York with Jeff on his shoulder, he asked Venom.
[What ability did we gain from Jeff?]
[We can spit water almost infinitely, swim through land, and your life expectancy increased immensely… Not that it was already low, after all, I will not let my host die from something as basic as cells dying.] Venom snorted.
"....." For a second Adrian almost forgot to swing, he knows that with his brain, the small problem regarding life expectancy can be resolved easily, but he did not expect to solve that so fast. In fact, since the moment he fused with Venom, he knew he would not die from aging, but that was only Venom helping him, from what he saw now his own body would not die anytime soon because of Jeff's genes.
[How long is my life expectancy?]
[Hmm, millions of years? It's hard to speculate, just think about our brother here, if he lived that long like you said, why is he still a puppy? My analysis of his genes shows that he is related to a Megalodon and some terrestrial species related to chicken… Maybe he is related to some dinosaur?]
[Jesus Christ...] Adrian looked at the little shark on his shoulder, and for a moment cold sweat fell under the mask. If he is a mix of a Megalodon and a dinosaur.
The little threat is even more incredible than he imagined!
[Wait... Jeff is an animal, right? Intelligent or not, he is still an animal, can you absorb genes from animals!? If that is true, it will be a turning point, the amount of animals with broken abilities out there!
[Yes... Honestly, I don't understand either, my biology has been behaving strangely since we united. No Symbiote should absorb genes so fast and memories so fast like me, not even I could do that if I had not united with you. Your mutation is affecting us in some strange way… I am evolving, I even feel that my natural weaknesses are no longer as lethal as before, although I still have them.]
[Normally for me to absorb a gene, I must unite with the host, but with you... I only need to touch another person for a few seconds, and we can absorb their genes and memory, the process is much faster and... Efficient.]
[That's it!] Adrian said.
[What?]
[My mutation hates inefficiency, it must be correcting the 'flaws' of your DNA, that somehow affects my personality too...] Adrian stopped talking here when he realized something.
Adrian thought about the Symbiote history, the only being that can be so broken in terms of genes, is the Symbiote's own Big Boss, if his mutation is evolving to turn Venom into something similar to that god...
He swallowed dryly, the possibilities are infinite!
Adrian highly doubts that he will gain any kind of divine power that that god has, after all, divinity is something different from genetics, it is something more metaphysical and related to the soul, and that is not something that can be absorbed. But he does not care! If he becomes as efficient as that god, he can make an army of mindless Symbiotes.
Something like a hive... A hive where he is the only leader.
[HAHAHAHAHAHA, THAT WOULD BE INCREDIBLE!]
[???] Venom was confused by his reaction, but did not care, he already got used to Adrian's madness, after all, his brain works so fast that it would be strange if he were not crazy.
"Look, Spider-Man!"
"Idiot, look at that muscular body, he is his older brother, Venom!"
"What is that on his shoulder? His pet?"
"Awoo!" Jeff made a disrespectful hand gesture, he was not a pet!
"Pfft." Adrian almost laughed out loud. 'Peter must be around 30 years old now, right? And to think that after so much time as a hero, he would be demoted to younger brother.' He shook his head in disdain and ignored it.
That presenter must have made this title popular, but soon it would disappear, after all, I am not a protagonist who transmigrated from blue star! He does not want to be anyone's older brother!
... Maybe only Jeff's, but Jeff is Jeff, the shark will become a threat in my hands! Get ready Emma Frost, your 'baby' will become rebellious!
"HAHAHAHA!"
"We are close to the first location, let's go, Jeff!"
"Awoo!"
...
While Adrian looted the laboratories left by his dead enemies, the CEO of the Life Foundation looked at the news.
"He is the guilty one…" The CEO narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Wrong! He may look human, act human, but he is not human! He is the Symbiote Riot!
The CEO's consciousness has been inactive for a long time.
"He has become stronger, his strength will make me even stronger. I will hunt him!" For a moment the CEO's human face distorted forming the classic Symbiote tongue.
Controlling his murderous instincts, Riot ordered. "Prepare my helicopter, I am returning to New York!"
"Yes, Sir!"
...
"Do we know anything about this individual?" A certain bald pirate asked.
Maria Hill just shook her head denying. "He appeared out of nowhere, we have nothing on him. Despite his uncontrolled behavior and the brutal way he fights... No trace of him is left at his scenes, not even on his victims, he is very cautious."
"Psychological evaluation?"
"Inconclusive, we do not have enough data yet."
"Even with Wade's statement?"
"Well..." Maria Hill looked at the note left by Wade describing Venom's personality, it was a drawing of the roaring black Spider-Man mask.
ROAAAAAR.
The letters came out of the paper and almost hit Maria!
The note is quite explanatory, right?
Maria Hill's right eye twitched a little at this description, the mercenary did not even write anything, he just put an onomatopoeia there!
Speaking of which, how is that possible!? We are not in a comic book!
"Yes, we have nothing." Maria nodded while tearing the paper. "However, if we look at him as an animal, he behaves like a predator."
"Don't be ridiculous, a predator would be much sloppier."
For example, someone like Hulk! He goes around leaving his traces without worrying about anything, if it were not for the big guy down there, there would already be hundreds of Hulks around!
"He is an Apex predator, and usually they do not leave traces behind…"
Fury ignored her, and asked: "Power evaluation."
"So far, we have observed that his suit seems to act as if it were alive, we do not know if this is part of his power, or if it is some technology, besides that, he has the full Spider-Man set... Just much stronger… Ridiculously stronger"
"...." Nick Fury stayed silent, he knows very well how powerful Spider-Man is, after all, Peter Parker has already done physical evaluations at SHIELD.
In his friendly neighborhood mode, he has 10 to 20 tons of physical power, when he is serious, he can use 30 tons, and under extreme stress, he has already demonstrated feats of 100 tons of strength.
Spider-Man even among the Avengers is among the strongest heroes in terms of physical strength, he is only behind those heavyweights who are freaks of nature. Yes, he does not have powers that cause massive damage like someone like Thor for example, but... In 1 x 1 combat, he is a threat, much of that strength is due to his creativity in combat.
It is a blessing that Peter Parker restrains himself a lot, and his personality is genuinely heroic, but this Spider-Man? He has none of that.
Holding back? Yes, he held back, but all his victims will never leave the hospital again, he clearly did not make a river of blood yesterday, because he has good sense that becoming everyone's enemy is a bad thing.
No one will complain if criminals are hospitalized, but if criminals are killed in large numbers to the point of making a bloodbath in the streets, not even he will stand still.
After all, at that point it would be a matter of image and honor of the nation.
'He seems to know very well the limits of what he can or cannot do to not draw too much attention... Is that the goal?' Nick thought.
"What is the maximum forecast of his strength?"
"Inconclusive, but... We are working around 10x Spider-Man's maximum strength under stress; that is at least the minimum we expect. The maximum we expect is 50x, but like the other heroes, we keep an open mind, after all, he may be in development."
'Between 1000 and 5000 tons with an inconclusive upper limit, huh.' Fury felt a headache, at this point only the strongest heroes can fight him, sending normal humans is like sending rabbits into a bear's den.
"Keep surveillance on him, try to find any trace of DNA for research, inform the Avengers that if they have time or are nearby, give him a word, if he is stable enough, make an invitation to the team." In this chaotic era it is always good to have more heroes.
"Inform Jameson, he must stop the smear campaign against the heroes."
Fury cannot say that he does not understand how Jameson feels, but understanding and accepting are different things.
"Yes, Sir."
And so Fury moved on to the next topic, Venom being only the lowest priority in his concerns now, after all, Venom did not turn 'hero' at the beginning of the hero era, he is in the middle of the hero era, at this point every week a new hero with powers appears.
His appearance is only more eye-catching because it is linked with one of the oldest and most beloved heroes, and because of his extreme actions, but Venom is not even close to being as unbalanced as The Punisher or Spawn. Fury has more to worry about.
Like the damn elastic idiot who opened a portal in the middle of New York, AGAIN!
Nick is seriously thinking about banishing that aberration far from the planet! Another problem, is the tantrum of the fish from the bottom of the sea who has nothing better to do than act like an idiot because of Sue Storm!
Damn that woman! What is her problem with kings of other nations? Namor, Black Panther, Doom! Is she made of candy or honey for everyone to like her? Does she want to be the new modern Helen of Troy!?
He swears that if some war between nations happens because of Sue Storm, he will go crazy.
So yes. Currently, Venom is last on his list of priorities.
"And how is our powerful friend?"
"... Stable for now." Maria said with a slight tremor.
"Ugh." Yes, this was his biggest headache lately.
The Sentry is showing emotional instability... And no one likes when that happens.
Because of that all the Avengers are watching him like a nuclear bomb that is about to explode, which does nothing to alleviate the problem, but what are they supposed to do?
The damn man does not help either! He has more emotional problems than a single mother! Who was the idiot that thought it was a good idea to give such enormous power to someone emotionally unbalanced!?
"Sir, we just received information that the Son of Sue Storm and Reed Richards created a small galaxy in his bedroom." An agent ran in and reported.
"Mother @#$@$#!"
He swears to God, since those four got together, he has only felt headaches, speaking of which, it is that woman again! She not only has problems with kings of other nations, her womb must be divine or something! He must add Sue's son to the same priority list as the Sentry! Before he could give more orders, he heard.
"Sir, we detected an extremely high energy spike at the Xavier mansion, hidden cameras show that Jean Grey is about to lose control!"
Phoenix, another problem similar to the Sentry, all because of that bald man! He is too meddlesome, he already warned not to treat other people's heads like a school experiment! Especially when that head houses a cosmic entity!
Phoenix, Scarlet Witch, Sentry… And now, Franklin, all of them are framed in the same category that should not be touched with a short stick! If they become unstable, the earth turns into cosmic dust!
"... Send-."
"Sir, we detected that Magneto is gathering the brotherhood of mutants and is attacking several bases that are registered by the government! His declaration is that he will annihilate Hydra once and for all!!"
"He WHAT!?"
My God, Hydra really does not know how to stay dead! Fortunately SHIELD is no longer a branch of Hydra like before!
"Sir!"
"What now!?"
"Scarlet Witch joined him! Apparently her missing brother may have been captured by Hydra! Energy spikes show that she is enraged."
"Damn it, Magneto! Why does he have to involve that witch!?" Before he could shout orders, another agent appeared.
"SIR!"
"WHAT!?"
"Doom is coming to New YORK!!"
"He WHAT!?"
"SIR!!!"
"WHAT?!"
"Your coffee."
"... Thank you." Nick Fury looked at his coffee with veins popping on his head. "I am too old for this shit! I do not want coffee, I want a damn sedative!" And then, he started shouting orders.
Soon SHIELD, the heroes who are near the incidents, and the Avengers began to spread out to solve the problem.
This was chaotic Marvel, every week a mass extinction event can happen.
If Adrian saw this scene, he would nod several times, someone can understand his frustration! In this universe knowledge is cursed, the more you know, the more you cannot sleep at night!
